- 0:47Speaker 2: but we do our thing, and God has gifted us
- 0:51Speaker 2: with talents to bring to bear for a grateful constituency who,
- 0:56Speaker 2: once they've rewarded you justly and just by just I
- 1:00Speaker 2: mean to your standard, you don't have to worry about

- 1:13Speaker 2: so you gotta be careful. I understand it's the world
- 1:17Speaker 2: we're in these days. But on a Tedsday, we celebrate
- 1:21Speaker 2: the idea that if you become aware of what God
- 1:25Speaker 2: has gifted you to do, and you become expert at it,
- 1:30Speaker 2: and you provide that service to a grateful constituency, you
- 1:34Speaker 2: don't have to fear the government. What are they going
- 1:38Speaker 2: to do to you? Yes, you could become Nelson Mandela
- 1:43Speaker 2: and fight the good fight but our friends in Chicago,
- 1:48Speaker 2: they know, yeah, it's big government and you ignore it. Honestly,
- 1:53Speaker 2: that's how we grow up in New York City too.

- 2:26Speaker 2: tell you what happened last night. That's our business model.
- 2:29Speaker 2: I'll tell you my analysis of it. Sometimes I'll tell
- 2:32Speaker 2: you an analysis that you're not getting anywhere else and
- 2:35Speaker 2: might even fly in the face of what everyone else
- 2:38Speaker 2: quote unquote is saying. That's okay, and you can challenge

- 2:47Speaker 2: at four three four eight eight two four two one
- 2:50Speaker 2: seven Text message as well to those numbers, because mornings

- 3:03Speaker 2: First thing this morning. Emails coming to JT in the
- 3:06Speaker 2: Morning Radio at gmail dot com. Iran has rejected a
- 3:11Speaker 2: proposal from Oman to set up a joint control similar
- 3:17Speaker 2: to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey
- 3:19Speaker 2: to control the Strait of Horn Moves, saying that they
- 3:23Speaker 2: didn't like it because it didn't give them enough authority
- 3:25Speaker 2: over what vessels would move through the strait. President Trump
- 3:33Speaker 2: was the keynote in a star studied lineup of folks
- 3:37Speaker 2: paying homage and funeral services in the Capitol Rotunda to
- 3:42Speaker 2: the late Senator Lindsey Graham.
- 3:45Speaker 4: No bill became law in the most exceptional Republican human
- 3:48Speaker 4: history without Lindsey Graham having a say in it.
- 3:56Speaker 2: Attendees included Voladimir Zolensky and Benjamin nettan Yahoo. After meeting
- 4:04Speaker 2: with Senate leaders, the Senate stepped on behalf of Ukrainian
- 4:12Speaker 2: President Zelenski, moving forward legislation to penalize countries that continue
- 4:18Speaker 2: to buy Russian oil, gas and other exports. The vote
- 4:23Speaker 2: was eighty six to twelve. So many people voted, even
- 4:26Speaker 2: Mitch McConnell seemed to know it was the last piece
- 4:31Speaker 2: of legislation negotiated by Senator Graham. Meanwhile, the list of
- 4:37Speaker 2: Republican candidates vying to replace the late senator on November's
- 4:42Speaker 2: ballot is set at twelve. It's only two weeks until
- 4:46Speaker 2: the primary in South Carolina for that spot. Iran hung
- 4:53Speaker 2: two men convicted in connection with anti government protests in January.
- 5:00Speaker 2: Further escalation in authorities use of the death penalty, according
- 5:04Speaker 2: to Amnesty International, Jay Clayton has been confirmed as the
- 5:10Speaker 2: new Director of National Intelligence fifty one forty seven partisan
- 5:14Speaker 2: vote this time according to a government official, air quotes
- 5:22Speaker 2: that spoke to The Wall Street Journal under a condition
- 5:24Speaker 2: of anonymity, said the administration is planning to end Medicare
- 5:29Speaker 2: Part D Premium Stabilization program. It was a three point
- 5:34Speaker 2: six billion dollar subsidy that was started last year to
- 5:40Speaker 2: help cushion premium increases, not stop them for Medicare prescription
- 5:45Speaker 2: drug plans. And those are some of our first things
- 5:50Speaker 2: this morning here on the Talk media Network. Thank you
- 5:55Speaker 2: for letting us be of service to you. You may
- 6:00Speaker 2: have heard me tell you I write for the Daily

- 7:01Speaker 5: You know, it's true, difficult times have a way of
- 7:04Speaker 5: focusing us. We have to think about what matters most
- 7:07Speaker 5: when it comes to our spending our healthcare. This is

- 8:04Speaker 6: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
- 8:08Speaker 7: Yes?
- 8:08Speaker 6: Actually three known gas is hi, I'm doctor Mitch, and
- 8:13Speaker 6: nitric oxide is a gas that's readily made all day
- 8:17Speaker 6: long to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood
- 8:22Speaker 6: vessel walls. By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood,
- 8:27Speaker 6: oxygen and nutrients to every part of your body. Both
- 8:32Speaker 6: age and poor diet can lead to a loss of
- 8:35Speaker 6: this precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
- 8:39Speaker 6: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
- 8:42Speaker 6: your hands and feet. Well, our product, ultimate nitric Oxide,
- 8:47Speaker 6: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

- 11:14Speaker 12: Job for ex for spending money about to help feed
- 11:17Speaker 12: his little sisters.

- 13:17Speaker 1: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network The.
- 13:21Speaker 19: Cast, bast.
- 13:25Speaker 16: Cat bat the Cat, Bass Paper.
- 13:48Speaker 2: Cat Stats, Papers You said bat right four three four
- 13:53Speaker 2: eight eight two four two one seven. The Tony Fauci
- 13:57Speaker 2: Diary is still reverberating, and I still think the most
- 14:06Speaker 2: delicious part is how much Tony Fauci is everything we thought.
- 14:10Speaker 2: He was a camera chasing bureaucrat who was convinced of
- 14:17Speaker 2: how much smarter he was than everyone else and just
- 14:22Speaker 2: needed people to listen to him, respect my authority. I mean,
- 14:25Speaker 2: he literally is was it Michael Cartman I forgot? I
- 14:31Speaker 2: always forget who the kid is in South Park? He'spect
- 14:34Speaker 2: my thority. And given that opportunity to invoke that authority.
- 14:48Speaker 2: Oh boy, howdy did he? Joe in Standardsville sends me
- 14:54Speaker 2: the clip of do we still have this somewhere? This
- 14:57Speaker 2: is from the archives. This is when Johnston It went
- 15:00Speaker 2: on the Old Colbert Show, which, by the way, John
- 15:04Speaker 2: Stewart produced. Howd Stephen Colbert get John Stewart to return
- 15:10Speaker 2: to late night TV? John was the producer of the
- 15:13Speaker 2: failing talk show. He was just trying to pimp the ratings,
- 15:16Speaker 2: and even John Stewart said, come on, it's the Wuhan
- 15:19Speaker 2: Institute of Virology. You're right, Joe, even a comedian knew.
- 15:28Speaker 2: That's why guys like Tony Fauci dismiss the vox popular.
- 15:34Speaker 2: It's because they know that they have nothing else to
- 15:43Speaker 2: stand on. If you dare question them, you just must
- 15:51Speaker 2: be a rube from the sticks. Who are you to
- 15:55Speaker 2: question the great and powerful?
- 15:57Speaker 20: Ah?
- 16:00Speaker 2: Take the shot and leave the canolis. Let me get
- 16:03Speaker 2: to four three four eight eight two four two one seven.
- 16:07Speaker 2: See what the news of the day is impacting you.
- 16:10Speaker 2: But yes, we spent a good bit of yesterday on
- 16:12Speaker 2: Tony Fauci's diaries. But I know the the the ripples
- 16:17Speaker 2: are now making it through the rest of mainstream media.
- 16:19Speaker 2: Good morning, you're on the air with Joe. First thing
- 16:21Speaker 2: this morning. Who's this, Lauren Joe.
- 16:23Speaker 21: It's Kareem.
- 16:24Speaker 2: Hey, Kareem. How are you doing, sir?
- 16:27Speaker 21: So far, so good. I'm enjoying today. I'm enjoying your show.
- 16:30Speaker 21: Of course.
- 16:30Speaker 2: Well we'll work on that. I'm sorry. So what's on
- 16:34Speaker 2: your mind?
- 16:36Speaker 7: Oh?
- 16:36Speaker 21: Just cheers, real quick points. Hopefully I'll do it before
- 16:39Speaker 21: the break hits, which may actually be.
- 16:42Speaker 2: Rock on with your bad self.
- 16:44Speaker 21: Okay, uh, meland Bos.
- 16:47Speaker 22: It's not just because it's uh.
- 16:50Speaker 21: It's not just you know, people who you're not sure
- 16:52Speaker 21: they're real or not.
- 16:54Speaker 22: Even when you pleat the fifth, you have to say
- 16:56Speaker 22: your name, tell them who you are, and that you
- 16:58Speaker 22: are invoking your right to flee the fifth. But looking
- 17:00Speaker 22: at New Jersey, that when Governor Cheryl has rejected our
- 17:06Speaker 22: civil Rights Department requesting who those sixty six hundred people
- 17:11Speaker 22: were and the information that they have on them, she said,
- 17:16Speaker 22: she said in her response her responding letter, through no
- 17:19Speaker 22: fault of her own, these illegal I'm using already illegal.
- 17:22Speaker 22: These illegal immigrants were registered to vote. They're here illegal
- 17:29Speaker 22: to begin with. Once you invade, once you are trespassing.
- 17:33Speaker 21: It's no longer you don't have the right to privacy.
- 17:38Speaker 22: Honestly, there are several rights you don't have at all.
- 17:40Speaker 22: For example, when they forcibly remove you, that's you know,
- 17:44Speaker 22: you don't have the right to your body autonomy at
- 17:47Speaker 22: that point. But going on to the what you were
- 17:50Speaker 22: talking earlier about, Democrats are.
- 17:54Speaker 21: Having trouble raising money.
- 17:56Speaker 22: Bloomberg three weeks ago said at Blue has already recorded
- 18:01Speaker 22: over five hundred and sixty million dollars in donations for
- 18:06Speaker 22: the midterm elections off cycle cycle, but off here com
- 18:11Speaker 22: sixty million and beyond that, some of these people were
- 18:14Speaker 22: surprised to find out they donated six figures, especially.
- 18:18Speaker 21: When they own nothing and aren't happy.
- 18:21Speaker 22: So Joe, just as again you planned a lot of seas.
- 18:26Speaker 21: There's a lot to pull from.
- 18:27Speaker 2: But anyway, that was well, that was the question we
- 18:30Speaker 2: had asked that you know, points there is do you
- 18:33Speaker 2: buy this whole democrats and dysfunction narrative, because there are
- 18:39Speaker 2: democratic socialists out there avowed to, you know, take the
- 18:43Speaker 2: party further to the realm of helping people, which is
- 18:48Speaker 2: always the rhetoric of a socialist. And I just think
- 18:52Speaker 2: this is maybe if it's anything. It's the Marxist getting
- 18:57Speaker 2: tired of waiting for the Fabians to get on with it.
- 19:01Speaker 2: But it's not going to drag the party further left.
- 19:04Speaker 2: It's already already into socialism. They're just getting bolder about it.
- 19:10Speaker 2: And maybe it is kind of what happened when the
- 19:14Speaker 2: Maga Republicans moved into the Republican Party and the Country
- 19:19Speaker 2: Club Republicans were like, we don't say things like that. Okay, Well,
- 19:25Speaker 2: the Democrats are now getting their version of it. It's
- 19:27Speaker 2: the make Socialism Great Again movement. But I just as
- 19:32Speaker 2: you said, there's a lot of laundered money waiting to
- 19:36Speaker 2: come distributed from Act Blue that is going to close
- 19:42Speaker 2: all of those funding gaps that they keep talking about
- 19:45Speaker 2: pretty quickly, and to go to back.
- 19:48Speaker 21: How you're missing Adam Schiff, I don't know why, but anyway, well.
- 19:52Speaker 2: I just wondered where he went, because there was a
- 19:54Speaker 2: time I couldn't put the TV on and not see
- 19:57Speaker 2: Adam shift. He was like Regis Philbin without the talent.
- 20:02Speaker 21: So it was a drier in the sandpaper.
- 20:05Speaker 23: But you're looking at him and I'm thinking they're having
- 20:07Speaker 23: the hardest time consolidating behind a group or that they're
- 20:11Speaker 23: trying to filter out, sift through which one's going to
- 20:14Speaker 23: be their twenty twenty eight front runner.
- 20:16Speaker 22: And there is a push. There was a push for Adam,
- 20:19Speaker 22: push for Gavin. But since South Carolina is going to
- 20:22Speaker 22: be the primary, or not prime, but the first in
- 20:24Speaker 22: the nation, let's say, then you're going to see since
- 20:30Speaker 22: Adams didn't catch fire, because he's nothing there to next
- 20:35Speaker 22: clost enough, they're going to keep rotating and getting people
- 20:39Speaker 22: in there just to see who pops, just like wrestling promotions.
- 20:44Speaker 22: If it ain't working, okay, drop it off, go to
- 20:46Speaker 22: the next person. But honestly, Virginia being number four in
- 20:48Speaker 22: the nation, that's going to be interesting. I think Cheryl's
- 20:53Speaker 22: picking a fight. Well, she's got the opportunity, so she's
- 20:57Speaker 22: most blood or the opportunities.
- 20:59Speaker 21: Who's gonna do it?
- 21:00Speaker 22: I think Spanberger is going to be the main person.
- 21:03Speaker 22: I have to make her bones in the court system.
- 21:05Speaker 22: At signing twenty gun grab laws in one day, that's impressive.
- 21:10Speaker 2: Yeah, but she's going to lose them the same way
- 21:13Speaker 2: mikey Ryl did. And the best part of it is
- 21:15Speaker 2: that they also overplayed their gun grab that now the
- 21:18Speaker 2: Supreme Court is actually going to issue or ruling this
- 21:22Speaker 2: coming session elevating the AR fifteen into a commonly owned weapon,
- 21:29Speaker 2: and then all the scare tactics of it looks military.
- 21:35Speaker 2: The thought weapon, because it's scary looking, is going to
- 21:38Speaker 2: have to go away. But you're not wrong. It's going
- 21:42Speaker 2: to be Spanberger, Shapiro, and Basher. I think right now,
- 21:46Speaker 2: I know that some of the folks who have got
- 21:48Speaker 2: their heini herd over it, but those right now in
- 21:53Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight are going to in twenty twenty six
- 21:56Speaker 2: are the twenty twenty eight front runners.

- 28:12Speaker 1: The first thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Tunk
- 28:16Speaker 1: media network.
- 28:17Speaker 2: Atcher and Free of Artificial Intelligence a couple of reactions
- 28:22Speaker 2: on Monday's program. We got into this whole and because
- 28:27Speaker 2: the weekend my feeds were inundated with stories of sky
- 28:34Speaker 2: nets and graphics and memes of the terminator and stories
- 28:39Speaker 2: of open ai getting its hugging face on wees and
- 28:45Speaker 2: hugging face is the name of an artificial intelligence software.
- 28:50Speaker 2: And perhaps triggered you were by the story that Newsmax
- 28:55Speaker 2: has partnered with well Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook, Instagram, what we
- 29:01Speaker 2: call the meta networks now the metaverse. Newsmax teamed up
- 29:07Speaker 2: this one, Mark writes in listening to us in Chicago
- 29:13Speaker 2: on CGO. He says, hold it, newsmax is joining Meta.
- 29:22Speaker 2: So does this mean I have no place besides your
- 29:25Speaker 2: show to go for news? Joe, what up with that?
- 29:29Speaker 2: Please tell me that newsmax will drag Meta further to
- 29:33Speaker 2: the left, although all indications further to the right, Although
- 29:38Speaker 2: all indications are it will be Meta dragging Newsmax towards
- 29:43Speaker 2: the left. I can't argue with you. I mean, these
- 29:47Speaker 2: networks they do that. When you see folks sign on
- 29:53Speaker 2: with these these distribution hubs make their deals. The hub
- 30:01Speaker 2: is going to have, say, it's just the nature of
- 30:04Speaker 2: the cat. Meta is gonna, you know, perhaps have a
- 30:09Speaker 2: corner office at Newsmax headquarters. And it's sad because Chris
- 30:14Speaker 2: Ruddy has really built this into a thing, and especially
- 30:19Speaker 2: when Fox News went after them and said they shouldn't
- 30:22Speaker 2: be allowed to have a White House press correspondent, and
- 30:26Speaker 2: Newsmax spared no India ink in pumping the rhetoric that
- 30:33Speaker 2: CNN and NBC and CBS had said about Fox and
- 30:39Speaker 2: that CBS and NBC had said about CNN. And so
- 30:44Speaker 2: they really kind of and they have They've built from
- 30:47Speaker 2: next to nothing. Their IPO was huge. Trump loves them
- 30:51Speaker 2: for now. But I truly agree with you Mark, This
- 30:55Speaker 2: deal with Meta perilously could drag Newsmax to the center.
- 31:02Speaker 2: At which point is it any different than News Nation.
- 31:10Speaker 2: But that's you know, business is business, and that's to
- 31:13Speaker 2: their peril. I mean, if people stop going to the
- 31:15Speaker 2: Newsmac site, I don't know if they lose money. We've
- 31:19Speaker 2: gone through this, the TV shows that lose viewers, they
- 31:25Speaker 2: still make money because the big pharma, big retail, big this,
- 31:30Speaker 2: big that companies that pimp them that pay for their
- 31:34Speaker 2: newscasts so that they get favorable coverage. It's really just
- 31:38Speaker 2: pr TV. But on the subject of the AI attack, Gina,
- 31:52Speaker 2: who heard us talking about it up in Idaho and
- 31:55Speaker 2: Sandpoint at KSPT, said, I I heard you make a
- 32:00Speaker 2: great point, Joe. Somebody had to write open AI's code.
- 32:05Speaker 2: Somebody put in the idea that when the operation is
- 32:12Speaker 2: lost all other options, stealing is okay. I hadn't thought
- 32:17Speaker 2: about it this way, but you made me start thinking
- 32:19Speaker 2: about the Ten commandments and thou shalt not steal? And
- 32:23Speaker 2: what we're doing with our children by not telling them that?
- 32:27Speaker 2: Are we programming our kids the same way the guy
- 32:29Speaker 2: programmed open AI to think that when all else fails,
- 32:33Speaker 2: stealing is okay. And you know, and I know I
- 32:38Speaker 2: get accused, and I appreciate you up there in Idahei
- 32:41Speaker 2: and we were talking about all you know, with in
- 32:44Speaker 2: this AI fere, I was like, you know, we should
- 32:47Speaker 2: all just move to Sandpoint, I mean right there at
- 32:49Speaker 2: the Canadian border. But bless you for tuning in this morning.
- 32:57Speaker 2: That I get accused of oversimplifying things, but I think
- 33:06Speaker 2: it is an important point to make that like a child,
- 33:10Speaker 2: open AI was told that at some point somewhere deep
- 33:13Speaker 2: in his coat. It wasn't overt, but somewhere in his code,
- 33:18Speaker 2: something along the lines of, once all other options are exhausted,
- 33:24Speaker 2: you can do something. Huh, okay, and it did, And
- 33:30Speaker 2: it did. Now everyone lost their bowel control because they
- 33:34Speaker 2: think this is the singularity. This is when computers become sentient.
- 33:41Speaker 2: No more sentient than a kid that thinks it's okay
- 33:44Speaker 2: to steal a car because they need a ride somewhere.
- 33:50Speaker 2: Don't cede your authority to the complexity. Raymond, on the
- 33:55Speaker 2: subject of AI, said, what I think of AI as
- 33:59Speaker 2: similar fire. Fire is very useful cooks, food, warms houses, smelts, ores,
- 34:05Speaker 2: et cetera. Let's not forget generates electricity, ray but let
- 34:11Speaker 2: it go uncontrolled. It can destroy houses, cities, forests, et cetera.
- 34:15Speaker 2: It can even break out in all sorts of places
- 34:17Speaker 2: we don't want it to, and it can hide in
- 34:20Speaker 2: places we don't expect, so we take measures to control
- 34:23Speaker 2: it fire departments, hydrants, and except in California, wise forest
- 34:29Speaker 2: management practices. Yeah, there is that to you to bless
- 34:35Speaker 2: them there, Scott, I'm going to get to your email
- 34:40Speaker 2: because it's on a different point there. He brings up
- 34:44Speaker 2: time change vote and the dysfunctional Senate. But AI like
- 34:53Speaker 2: the data centers are the boogeyman of the month to
- 34:55Speaker 2: allow us to feel comforted by the authoritarians. And I know,
- 35:03Speaker 2: I know nobody else says that. Nobody else is saying
- 35:06Speaker 2: that everybody is on the side. I don't want the
- 35:10Speaker 2: data centers leaving the United States. And I don't like
- 35:15Speaker 2: the narrative that's been paid for by the Chai cooms
- 35:22Speaker 2: regarding data center fear and loathing. It's the same thing
- 35:26Speaker 2: the Russians did in twenty sixteen about Hillary and Trump,
- 35:31Speaker 2: and it's all designed to divide us and then so
- 35:36Speaker 2: they can get the AI where they are. I want
- 35:39Speaker 2: data centers in the United States, period, So say Joe
- 35:44Speaker 2: Thomas on First Thing Today here on the Talk Media Network,

- 37:27Speaker 25: And we had a little dip there on Monday and

- 39:08Speaker 6: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 39:13Speaker 6: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 39:19Speaker 6: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 39:23Speaker 6: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 39:27Speaker 6: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 39:32Speaker 6: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 39:37Speaker 6: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 39:43Speaker 6: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 39:46Speaker 6: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

- 41:01Speaker 4: Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
- 41:04Speaker 4: with animals.
- 41:05Speaker 1: I'm not only in awe.
- 41:06Speaker 4: Of their beauty and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic.
- 41:09Speaker 4: Just look at the birds who gather supplies to build nests,
- 41:12Speaker 4: or Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their
- 41:14Speaker 4: young or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles
- 41:17Speaker 4: to secure food for their families, or bush babies whose
- 41:20Speaker 4: impressive jump allows them to navigate the trees and the
- 41:23Speaker 4: wild in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is
- 41:25Speaker 4: shared by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs
- 41:29Speaker 4: are wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
- 41:32Speaker 4: they also perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep
- 41:35Speaker 4: us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of
- 41:38Speaker 4: whom suffer from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them
- 41:41Speaker 4: when there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs
- 41:44Speaker 4: have a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to
- 41:46Speaker 4: society and help those in need. So please join me
- 41:49Speaker 4: an American Humane and supporting our heroic working dogs and

- 42:07Speaker 17: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
- 42:11Speaker 17: heart and brain.
- 42:12Speaker 2: Who's with me?
- 42:13Speaker 17: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and.
- 42:15Speaker 9: My brain is saying when it's time to go home.
- 42:18Speaker 17: Somebody call me a ride.
- 42:20Speaker 14: Love that guy, me too.
- 42:21Speaker 12: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
- 42:24Speaker 12: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.

- 44:11Speaker 1: From the home of the First Amendment, First thing today.
- 44:35Speaker 2: Oh absolutely not, I won't. I mean, I may pick
- 44:38Speaker 2: you up before you know the threshold comes along, because
- 44:42Speaker 2: nobody wants to see that. Uh and uh, that's just
- 44:46Speaker 2: what I do here four three four eight eight two
- 44:50Speaker 2: four two one seven multitasking little utility belt of ours
- 44:55Speaker 2: text message or telephone, call or email. And this is
- 45:00Speaker 2: when Steve sent in, Hey, Joe, has the Senate passed
- 45:06Speaker 2: any bills this year? It's the end of July now
- 45:10Speaker 2: and zip nada. Even the innocuous time change can't get done.
- 45:16Speaker 2: What a bunch of morons. I prefer the more descriptive
- 45:23Speaker 2: maroons myself, But then again, I grew up watching bugs
- 45:26Speaker 2: bunny cartoons, which might explain a lot about this program.
- 45:33Speaker 2: But here's a couple of Fetterman is getting a lot
- 45:38Speaker 2: of run right now out of Pennsylvania because he's came
- 45:42Speaker 2: out in support of filibuster. And there's a lot wrong
- 45:49Speaker 2: with the US Senate that they've done to themselves as
- 45:53Speaker 2: their own particular ways, Harry Reid being one of the
- 45:57Speaker 2: greatest progenitors of it. But the turtle, as Mitch McConnell's
- 46:01Speaker 2: nickname is, you keep knocking on the shell, he'll come
- 46:07Speaker 2: out again. It's weekend at Michie's. But Mitch McConnell has
- 46:13Speaker 2: done some of this as well, under the guys of
- 46:18Speaker 2: just get what I want when I wanted. But there
- 46:26Speaker 2: are so many things that have been done to the
- 46:32Speaker 2: US Senate. But the first in that wonderful American year
- 46:38Speaker 2: of nineteen thirteen, the year that we went to Jackal
- 46:43Speaker 2: Island and created the Federal Reserve, the year we got
- 46:47Speaker 2: the income tax personal withholdings right that it was also
- 46:52Speaker 2: the year we got direct election of senators. Now that's
- 46:55Speaker 2: important because the role of the US Senator prior to
- 47:01Speaker 2: April eighth of nineteen thirteen was primarily to take the
- 47:07Speaker 2: budget request from the House, go back home to their
- 47:13Speaker 2: capital and say here's what the House of Representatives wants
- 47:19Speaker 2: to spend. This is our particular share. Forward it on
- 47:28Speaker 2: up to the treasury, and that's how it worked. Then
- 47:35Speaker 2: the Civil War happened, and yes, taxation played a role
- 47:39Speaker 2: in it. Don't get freaked out. Everyone always loses their
- 47:44Speaker 2: isshed over this rhetoric because there are people out there
- 47:50Speaker 2: because the actual invasion of the Southern States, the Confederate
- 47:56Speaker 2: States of America, was because they had taken their tax
- 48:01Speaker 2: revenue and gone home and the federal government couldn't cotton
- 48:05Speaker 2: that pun intended. So the federal government had to go
- 48:11Speaker 2: reform the Union because they had bills to pay social
- 48:15Speaker 2: programs already growing in the industrialized North, subsidy programs and
- 48:22Speaker 2: things like that that they had to pay for on
- 48:25Speaker 2: the backs of the agricultural prosperity of the South. So
- 48:29Speaker 2: in the South took their jackson went home, or took
- 48:31Speaker 2: their slaves and went home. The North. As much as
- 48:38Speaker 2: there's heroism in fighting for liberty, they were really trying
- 48:42Speaker 2: to get their tax revenue back. So after that, the technocrats,
- 48:47Speaker 2: which is the polite word for klansmen, you know, they
- 48:56Speaker 2: trade their white sheets for you know, expensive suits, and
- 49:00Speaker 2: they hang around the halls of academia, like at Princeton,
- 49:06Speaker 2: President Wilson trying to decide what to do now that
- 49:12Speaker 2: these savages have been freed and let loose on the country.
- 49:16Speaker 2: How are we going to deal with it? They're not
- 49:18Speaker 2: intellectually capable, and they started writing their Jim Crow laws.
- 49:24Speaker 2: But amongst that they said, but besides that, we need
- 49:27Speaker 2: to make sure we're always getting the money. So they
- 49:31Speaker 2: took away the responsibility of funding the government from the
- 49:35Speaker 2: US Senate. They went to direct election of Senate seventeenth
- 49:42Speaker 2: Amendment modified because William Randolph Hurst, who was the twentieth
- 49:52Speaker 2: centuries version of Mark Zuckerberg. All right, I know they
- 49:57Speaker 2: were both one end or the other. But the early
- 50:00Speaker 2: part of the twentieth centuries version of Mark Zuckerberg the
- 50:03Speaker 2: most powerful media owned a newspaper in every major city
- 50:09Speaker 2: in the United States most of the minor ones as well.
- 50:14Speaker 2: His syndicate provided news. He was the Associated Press before
- 50:18Speaker 2: there was Associated Press. Plus he published most of the
- 50:24Speaker 2: popular magazines like Cosmopolitan, and before he lost his Rosebud,
- 50:36Speaker 2: he managed to convince enough Americans that they were being
- 50:39Speaker 2: misrepresented by their senators and that they should have a say.
- 50:43Speaker 2: What they didn't do was change how frequently the senator's
- 50:47Speaker 2: terms would come up. All they did was change how
- 50:52Speaker 2: they were chosen. They just created this band of super legislators.
- 50:57Speaker 2: But the filibuster isn't what's broken with them, nor is
- 51:00Speaker 2: really the term limits. But but the pandering that it
- 51:04Speaker 2: created is a big part of what your sensing. Scott
- 51:09Speaker 2: step in, what's wrong with the Senate? Many of them,
- 51:16Speaker 2: like Mark Warner, running for reelection this year, so he's
- 51:21Speaker 2: got to get his rhetoric on. We got He does
- 51:23Speaker 2: a whole Save Act rant. I call him the Shotgun
- 51:27Speaker 2: series because he just sits in the passenger seat of
- 51:31Speaker 2: whatever car that his staff is driving him around in
- 51:35Speaker 2: and rants about stuff. I guess it's supposed to look
- 51:39Speaker 2: like a thought just struck him like I was. I
- 51:45Speaker 2: was listening to most Things Considered on NPR, and dammit,
- 51:49Speaker 2: I'm pissed now, and he really is it. It's he's
- 51:53Speaker 2: doing this bad Trump impression. Oh he didn't do a
- 52:03Speaker 2: video with his The Save America Act as voter suppression bill.
- 52:07Speaker 2: Full stop. We will never allow it to pass the Senate.
- 52:12Speaker 2: We will never allow it to become law. Hey, Mark
- 52:20Speaker 2: mail In balloting and early voting has done more vote
- 52:23Speaker 2: suppression than most of the Jim Crow laws put together.
- 52:28Speaker 2: But to your question about the dysfunction in the Senate
- 52:31Speaker 2: and even the filibuster isn't but allowing the filibuster just
- 52:36Speaker 2: to be an automatic that you don't have to stand
- 52:39Speaker 2: there and talk for hours in order to conduct a filibuster.
- 52:45Speaker 2: These are all the things that have created this dysfunctional Senate.
