  Speaker 4: When the sun comes up drops at the school of.
• 0:21
  Speaker 5: Joe has a gender. All the treasures needs.
• 0:26

  Speaker 5: He only is.

  Speaker 3: us at Joe Thomas in the Morning dot com. Uh
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: it's it's got a place to go to get our
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: podcasts if nothing else for you, uh and me, I
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: suggest you find the distributor of your choice and plug
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: in there because this weird thing where oh, I'll tell
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: us how many hits and clicks and it's an algorithm
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: and they all judge by how many times people share.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: And if you go to whether it's Spotify or Apple
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Podcasts or anything like that, you like it, you share it,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: you download it, and it tells the algorithm oh more
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: people might want to see this spread the word, and
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: the word is Joe. So as we gather this morning,
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: so much going on and a couple of emails. I
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: mentioned Hamarabi's code because one of the topics that came
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: up in the course of this program is how do
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: you hold elected officials accountable when they do wrong. We
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: have this horrible tragedy in Northern Virginia, former lieutenant governor
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: the Commonwealth shoots his wife dead and then takes his
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: own life justin Fairfax, and we'll give you the latest.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Their police are going through security video footage.
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: But there were.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Judges and cases and allowances made that they were still
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: in the house together despite going through what sounds like
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: a fairly acrimonious divorce that may have led to this.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: But what ignorances were conducted in it? And I said,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: you know, at some point, if you have, for example,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: all the myriad of public officials in Parkland, Florida, that
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: had interactions with Nicholas Cruz, arrested Nicholas Cruz, had him
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: in custody of the sheriff, how many of these people
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: have ever been held accountable for continuing to let him
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: go all the way up to the President of the
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: United States, or Eric Holder's attorney general who suggested that
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: that might be a good thing to do. Raymond writes
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: in to JT in the Morning Radio dot com. The
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: idea of making officials responsible is not new, if memory serves,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: and I'd always for ray.
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: There was a.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Provision in Hamarabi's Code circa eighteen hundred BC that if
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: officials could not recover a man's stolen property, they had
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: to make it good themselves. There was an interesting case.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: But where do you go to get your good name
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: back if it's been smeared. We'll get our first things
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: here this morning. Although the US in Israel have ceazed
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: airstrikes on Iran, Iranian hackers are continuing to break through
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: American firewalls, even though the country is in an internet blackout.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: They have the ability, and according to a New York
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Times report, western cybersecurity experts and former US Intel officers,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Iran not only is seeking to keep pressure on US
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: and Israel, but it is looking out to its supporters
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: on the international community to help with that. Although President
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Trump said a deal with Tehran is very close and
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: agreed that he would fly to Pakistan if the next
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: round of talks, which apparently are coming very soon as well,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: are fruitful and a deal might be signed. The acting
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: head of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement is planning to leave,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: citing two US officials familiar with the planned CBS News
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: reported that todd Lyons has told client and colleagues that
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: he is planning to depart the agency in June. As
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: I mentioned, former Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax, a front
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: runner in twenty twenty for the gubernatorial nomination until a
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: sexual assault from a staffer ruined his political fortunes, killed
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: his extranged wife and then himself in the family's home
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: in Annandale late Friday or early Thursday. That was when
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: their teenage son discovered the body. Pope Leo the fourteenth
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: blasted a handful of tyrants who he says are ravaging
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: the earth with war and exploitation. He was at a
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: round table with a Presbyterian moderator and then a mom,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: a Catholic nun, and a Mankin traditional chief in Cameroon
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: when he made the statements. By the way, a bomb
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: threat had been called into Pope Leo the fourteenth brother's
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: home in Illinois. It turned out to be a false alarm,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: a swatting instance. Ten day truce appears to be holding
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: so far. In Lebanon. Lebanese administrators are the ones who
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: are in charge of making sure his bola doesn't break
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: the truth, since they weren't the ones who made the truce.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: President Trump plans to nominate Cameron Hamilton to head FEMA.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: You may say, hold on, this sounds like old news.
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: No.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: He was the temporary head of FEMA until he was
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: fired by the administration, but now they're ready to hire
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: him back as their permanent administrator. Cameron Hamilton on the
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: short for that at. Doctor Erika Schwartz has been hired
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: to head the Center for Disease Control.

• 8:07
  Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 11: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 11: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 11: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:27
  Speaker 11: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:32
  Speaker 11: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:37
  Speaker 11: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 11: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 11: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

  Speaker 13: Hi, everybody, I'm Jack and it's always a boy. Growing
• 10:01
  Speaker 13: up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 13: I'm not only in all of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 13: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:09
  Speaker 13: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 13: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
• 10:15

• 10:18
  Speaker 13: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
• 10:21
  Speaker 13: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
• 10:23
  Speaker 13: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 10:26
  Speaker 13: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29
  Speaker 13: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 10:33
  Speaker 13: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
• 10:35
  Speaker 13: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
• 10:38
  Speaker 13: from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's

  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:05
  Speaker 14: And now a speech.
• 11:07
  Speaker 15: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
• 11:10
  Speaker 15: art and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 14: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my

  Speaker 14: brain is saying when it's time to go home.

  Speaker 2: From the home of the First Amendment, the first thing today.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: The host of the Good for America podcasts still on
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: with this Bob Good, former Congressman, former chair of the
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: House Freedom Caucus, and we were talking about this FAISA authorization.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: It's still gobsmacking to me, and your thoughts on it
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: this while at four three four eighty two four two
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: one seven, because some folks have taken a different view,
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: and we'll get to your text messages on the subject
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: in a moment, but the idea of extending it, you said,
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: you know that people were getting you know, pressure from uh,
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: the administration. That's bizarre me since this was the very
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: tool kit that was used for the Steele dossier and
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: now we're finding out that it was also you know
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: this uh uh, this Charamela fella and you know the
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: whistle blowing that was not really whistle blowing, more like
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: composing his own song. And yet these congress people were
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: getting pressure.
• 14:21
  Speaker 18: The pressure from the speaker. So I want to commend
• 14:26
  Speaker 18: those sex.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Well, and and you bring up standing up to and
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: and maybe over time we're starting to see you talk
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: about Tulsea Gabbert, uh, you talk about you know, inter
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: we were talking about some of the reconvened session here
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: in Virginia where Virginia Democrats are starting to infight amongst
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: one another, uh much in the way California Democrats in
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: fight against one another, and sometimes more, you know, pointedly
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: than Republicans fight with Democrats over issues, especially fiscal ones.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: But you know, at one point, somebody's got to stand
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: up for the American citizen in this, Bob, and I
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: feel like maybe we're starting to see a growing coalition
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: of these folks.
• 15:10
  Speaker 18: Well there's not enough, certainly. It's very disappointing to see
• 15:13
  Speaker 18: people like Mike Johnson and Jim Jordan, who used to
• 15:16
  Speaker 18: be strong on the Constitution and our rights to privacy
• 15:22
  Speaker 18: and our Fourth Amendment protections, and having to have a
• 15:26
  Speaker 18: warrant with probable cause before you go search the records
• 15:30
  Speaker 18: of American citizens. And you can't in the federal government
• 15:32
  Speaker 18: buying information from private providers if they don't have the
• 15:35
  Speaker 18: constitutional authority to get themselves directly. But Jim Jordan, Mike Johnson,
• 15:39
  Speaker 18: others have caves flipped on their position. The President, who
• 15:42
  Speaker 18: was against illegal CISIS or balance of US citizens until
• 15:45
  Speaker 18: he got back into office, now he wants his administration
• 15:48
  Speaker 18: to be able to do it without any restrictions or reforms.
• 15:51
  Speaker 18: It's very disappointed that Republicans would do this to us.
• 15:54
  Speaker 18: And again, that's why it's so commendable for those six again,
• 15:57
  Speaker 18: Andy Harris from Maryland, Thomas Massey Kentucky, Andy oh Ogles Tennessee,
• 16:00
  Speaker 18: Scott Perry Pennsylvania, John Rose, Tennessee, and Keith Seal from Texas,
• 16:04
  Speaker 18: who voted against both efforts to extend FAISA in the
• 16:08
  Speaker 18: early hours of this morning.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: Last question, it kind of ties together, or at least
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: in my mind it does, Bob. I've been making this comparison.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: This new prime minister in Hungary whose name apparently translates
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: to Hungarian but is he has promised a purge. He
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: meets with the President says you need to get out
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: of office, and you need to get out of office
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: right now, or I'm going to take you out of office.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: I'm going to use my mandate to purge the government
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: and our public square of Orbon supporters. You know, is
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: there a message here about what could come if HAAKEM.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: Jeffreys takes control in January of next year, you know,
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: based on what's happening in Hungary, because This sounds very
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: much like the Democratic Party of America. They want to
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: be part of the World Economic Forum. You know, they've
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: already ceded authority over several things to a European court.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: This sounds like American Democrats have taken over Hungary and
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: they're going after their political opponents with their legal system.
• 17:16
  Speaker 18: Well, the Democrats weaponize the federal government and the legal
• 17:20
  Speaker 18: system against their opponents for four years under Joe Biden,
• 17:23
  Speaker 18: when they had full control of government. They've threatened to
• 17:26
  Speaker 18: do it again.
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: They will do it again.
• 17:28
  Speaker 18: They want to try to obviously remove President Trump from power.
• 17:30
  Speaker 18: If they were to get the House majority, they'd be unsuccessful.
• 17:33
  Speaker 18: They could certainly make things more difficult for Republicans for
• 17:36
  Speaker 18: the administration. The Americans should believe the Democrats. The Democrats
• 17:41
  Speaker 18: are running on nothing except for opposition to President Trump.
• 17:45
  Speaker 18: Their policies are a disaster, Their policies are unpopular, and
• 17:50
  Speaker 18: Republicans should be bold and courageous in what the policies
• 17:53
  Speaker 18: they pursue over these next six months to give the
• 17:56
  Speaker 18: American people a reason to vote for them and to
• 18:00
  Speaker 18: draw sharp contrasts between them and the Democrats.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: What's coming up on the good for America Podcast This week, Bob.
• 18:06
  Speaker 18: Well, we're gonna be talking about Faiso. We're going to
• 18:08
  Speaker 18: be talking about amnesty and how some Republicans are for that.
• 18:11
  Speaker 18: We're going to be talking about the example of Argentina
• 18:15
  Speaker 18: and a great job that habbier Malay is doing there
• 18:17
  Speaker 18: and the results he's already seeing as a result. And
• 18:20
  Speaker 18: then we're going to be talking about Spenberger and the
• 18:22
  Speaker 18: Democrats assault in the Second Amendment here in Virginia.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Good stuff, well, you find it at good for America
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: dot org. And you're a good, good contributor to great
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: thought and perspective as well. You have a wonderful weekend, sir, you.
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: As well, Joe, thank you, my friend.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: So onto your texts on the subject of Faiza and
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: the ability to go after your political opponents. And I
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: like this one because it fluffs me a little bit.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: But Mike writes into four three four eight eight two
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: four two one seven, aren't you the one that always
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: says that if you take the power out of the government,
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: this stuff will stop. Yeah, yes, I am. But of
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: the things that are going on right now that we
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: can control, getting the power out of government is aspirational.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: It's something to shoot for it is somewhere we want
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: to get with, whether it's with the Convention of States
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: or heaven forbid, we find enough political leaders to give
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: up that power because it's unconstitutional, or we you know,
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: get rid of the nineteen twenty nine Permanent Act for
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: Reapportionment so that we get enough politicians to create that
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: kind of friction. But that's a longer fight from where
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: I said. Anyway, that's the that's that's something that's going
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: to take a little bit of time right now. Taking
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: away their ability to punish their political opponents simply for
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: being their political opponents seems like something we can do.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: And is there a direct correlation? Got you know, keyboard warriors,
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: you know internet lawyers, mister Thomas, I like it when
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: they start. Mister Thomas, this email to JT in the
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: Morning Radio at gmail dot com. Can you give me
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: any evidence that the Democratic Party is planning to do
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: any of the things that you're accusing the democratically elected
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: leadership of Hungary to do. I thought shows like yours
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: was supposed to be about democracy and the will of
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: the people. Well, first off, I thought shows like yours
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: are supposed to be as a great predicate to any
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: sentence if you want me to believe that you're just
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: a seminar emailer. But I think your question puts a
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: good point out onto the table and worth some mastication
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: about democracy. And yes, you're teeing me up again for
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: yet again pointing out that democracy as a tool is
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: fine if it's everything you do. It's not. Catholics don't
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: worship burning incense. They don't all gather and go the
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: incense is burning is it is a tool to the sacrament.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: I picked on that one just because it might get
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: somebody say what it was? It well up on it
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: in a moment.
• 22:02
  Speaker 11: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 22:07
  Speaker 11: actually three known gases. I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric oxide
• 22:13
  Speaker 11: is a gas that's readily made all day long to
• 22:17
  Speaker 11: keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.

  Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,

  Speaker 11: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our

  Speaker 11: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any

  Speaker 11: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 24:31
  Speaker 11: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,

  Speaker 2: Talk radio just the way your mother used to make
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: its first thing Today by Joe Thomas on the talk
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: media network.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: Liberty's let me let me pick up an email that
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: I got here, text message, pardon me, give me my
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: phone so I can pull up give me my phone,
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: and other phrases that I never thought when I got
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: into broadcasting, I'd say, let me read this tweet that
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: I got. But this on the subject we were talking about,
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: you know, holding officials accountable for you know what they do?
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: How do you do it?
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: Ray brought up the code of.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Hamerabi, judges that allow criminals out on the street, commonwealth's
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: attorneys that decide, you know what, I have some leeway
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: into how I'm going to charge things, so I'm just
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: not going to charge things. And all of a sudden
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: you have criminals out on the street, mayors that say
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: to their jail operators, your job depends on me. So
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: you let these criminals go because I want to be
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: a sanctuary city. All of these things, and then you know,
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: where does the family of the rape victim go for
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: a mayor? Oh, we had no idea. He seemed like
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: such a nice fellow, you know, like a Maryland man,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: not Marilyn Manson Maryland man. So maybe I'm high on opium.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: But I think the solution to the justice system is, yes,
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: hood judge is accountable, but also appoint judges who have
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: a strong moral compass. More specific laws may tilt towards
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: more or technocracy. And every law is an infringement on liberty,
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: though some are warranted, and this is a commonly held
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: especially as we get ready to go out Freedom Fest
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: libertarian And one of the things where libertarianism struggles sometimes
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: is there's a battle within the libertarian movement to say
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: we should have a society of no laws at all,
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: that nothing is illegal. And that's not good either, because
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: there's God's law, there's natural law, that you should have
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: the right to proceed with your life as you see
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: fit until it infringes on somebody else's rights. And this
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: is important, and it ties into Fairfax, and it ties
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: into Charamela and Gabbard and the DNI, and it ties
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: into FISA. That our laws. And by the way, I
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: didn't say I want simple laws. I want I didn't
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: want specific laws. I wanted simple laws. Here is the
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: punishment for murder, not you know, sixteen law books on
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: what the punishments may or may not be if you
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: may or may not be charged with something that may
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: or may not look to the surface as be murder. Sure,
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: come up with something that's not murder. For somebody who
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: maybe kills somebody in self defense, some would say that
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: that's justified.
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: But there are.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: Cities I know, I know. And this is where the
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: jury of your peers is supposed to come into play,
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: because the jury of your peers is supposed to be
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: able to grasp the simplicity of law without having to
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: be lawyers. And then you look at the mountain of
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: legislation that has become law, and you realize we're circling
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: a black hole of juris. There's so much law that
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: justice itself cannot escape to torture. The black hole metaphor,
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: the density of all the law that we have created
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: has created this legal singularity from which justice itself cannot come.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: So you're basically there, you know, trying to win over
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: the judge's curry, the judge's favor, so that he rules
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: in your favor rather than saying, here's the law. Law
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: is pretty straightforward, so I didn't mean specific laws. I
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: mean laws that are simple in the fact that they say,
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: in the course of your day, you infringed on this
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: person's right, or you stand accused of infringing on this
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: person's right to privacy. What's the punished for that, and
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: then enact that punishment for it. Over the last century,
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: we've been gasled into this idea that our courts are
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: not a place to go seek justice but a place
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: to go get screwed. That's the brothel. We've mixed that up.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you want to go, but no, we
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: view interactions with our justice system to be more I'm
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: going to go to jail. I'm going to jail, and
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: we're all trying to keep ourselves out of jail rather
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: than seek justice. Liberty is when it comes up, you know,
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: and only infringement I write back to them, The only
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: infringement on liberty is when it comes up against somebody
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: else's liberty. And the laws you should have are simply
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: regarding what those punishments are, not what the rights are, because,
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: as Locke clearly states in his Treatise on Natural Law,
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: you cannot have a right to someone else's efforts. So
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: anything that requires anyone else to do anything for you.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: Cannot be a right, regardless of what the politician says.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: Nobody can keep you from seeking healthcare, nobody can keep
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: you from seeking an apartment, or from keep you from
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: seeking a home to live in. But they don't have
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: to give you one. And that's the teetering danger of
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: the progressive left. Right now. Everything is a right. It's
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: like we're all Bernie Sanders stunt doubles. Everything is a
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: right these days. You have a right to this and
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: a right to that and the right to the other thing.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: And each time I warn you that if you gives,
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: if you infer that there is a right to a job,
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: what is the going to happen? What is the punishment
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: for not giving someone a job? If you infer this?
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: Everyone has the right to a living wage. Whose responsibility
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: is it to give that living wage? And if they
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: don't get that living wage? Who is punished for infringing
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: on that person's quote unquote right to a living wage
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: or a place to live? Do I have to, as
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: a homeowner build a little apartment in my basement so
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: that somebody can live there because they have a right
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: to live somewhere And I have somewhere, so therefore they
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: have a right to live here. See, these are the things.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: This is the enlightenment that was so simple that our
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: constitutional document, even if you printed on eight and a
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: half by eleven inch paper, is four pages, and that
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: includes the signatures and the Bill of Rights, including commercial
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: breaks and news breaks. I once read the US Constitution
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: on the air, all the way through the first ten
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: amendments the Bill of Rights in a three hour radio program.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: That's seven to ten minutes at a pop break for
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: commercial comeback, pick up where you left off, read some
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: more seven eight minutes, break for news come back, seven
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: eight minutes. I think the aggregate was one hundred and
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: ten minutes of reading time. No, it was one hundred.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: It was under one hundred minutes of reading time because
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: my co hosts were kibbittzing and doing play by play
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: analysis of some of the stuff as I read them.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: So less than one hundred minutes you can read the
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: entirety of the US government start to finish. It's not
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: even a big enough volume to technically warrant a book
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: unless you're going to start inserting, like I did, you know,
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: commentary and stuff on it. That's where liberty is protected
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: in the simplicity of Okay, don't murder someone. It's already
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: written down. We don't need a new law to say
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: thou shalt not murder. Already got one. So we're just
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: going to write down if you murder someone, here's how
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: we will punish you in this country for it. And
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: then you get back to a place where you can
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: hold jurists culpable for not enforcing those kind of laws.
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: But right now, in that black hole of legality, you
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: go find a law and you find a person that
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: it applies to.
• 38:01
  Speaker 20: At Hotshot Secret, we share the science behind common diesel
• 38:04
  Speaker 20: problems in their solutions.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: For example, diesel fuel setan levels.
• 38:08
  Speaker 20: In many states, the setane rating and diesel fuel is
• 38:11
  Speaker 20: forty two to forty five. Most diesel engines operate more
• 38:14
  Speaker 20: efficiently with the cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one.

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

• 41:24
  Speaker 14: diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:28
  Speaker 14: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is

  Speaker 14: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop

  Speaker 2: Independence from Virginia again. First Thing Today by Joe Thomas
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: on the Talk.
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: Median programming Note tomorrow will be coming to you from
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: the home of our great affiliate on Saturday mornings, WRCN
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: will be up there. I have to go to a
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: sixteenth sweet sixteen party for my niece and I'm fine
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: with that, And actually it's kind of neat because my
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: sister in law and her husband A are so much
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: more grounded than the crazy people on Long Island who
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: it must have something to do with the disassociation and
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: being stuck on the other side of New York City
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: or something like that, because man, some of these sweet
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: sixteen parties insane, giant limousines and catering halls, and I
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: had no idea, and I'm amazed TLC didn't give it
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: a TV show, you know, when you had my big
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: fat Greek wedding TV shows and my crazy you know
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: in laws TV show, all these reality TV shows, Storage
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: Wars and all of that, Nobody nobody thought to do.
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: Who's whose Sweet sixteen party? Is it anyway? Maybe it
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: had to do with the miners. I don't know anyway,
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: grateful dead bringing us into a story. Who is the
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: who was the avant garde of decriminalizing marijuana taking Barack
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: Obama up on his promise to not prosecute people for
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: possession of marijuana. Oh yes, our dear friends in Colorado
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: and Coloradon's were sold the idea that it was just
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: going to make them so much money. Oh my goodness,
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: look at how much money is out there, and they've
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: never lived up to the promises, even though you voted
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: it in because you were expecting to no longer have
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: to pay income tax or whatever it was. They promised
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: you you would never ever ever have to pay because
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: we're going to make so much money selling marijuana, and
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: they didn't. Almost immediately the projections that Coloraden's were promised
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: fell short. This is important because Virginia just passed and
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: Governor Spanberger says she wants to wait a while before
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: implementing a similar program here in Virginia. So I suggest,
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: Governor Spanberger, if you get that pause they you asked for,
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: you consider just not doing it. I know you're a Democrat,
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: So it's probably hard for me to ask you to
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: not sell drugs, because I mean, your policy seems so
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: much more sensible when someone's high. Wednesday, Colorado lawmakers introduced
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: a bill that, if approved, would place a ballot proposal
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: before you listening to us on KPPF or what's the
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: one up in four collins or four corners? Seely, you
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: guys there in four corners listening in Cortes changes that
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: backers say would improve consumer safety and overhauls. And this
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: is the key how the marijuana industry is taxed. First,
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: it creates a government oversight purity Bureau, So you know
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: that's always good, right that that never is rife for corruption.
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: But they also want who change the way it's taxed
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: to increase how much money they're getting from the tax roles.
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: The broad the measure would broadly shift taxes applied to
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: marijuana and manufacturing stages, which regularly say have been plagued
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: by fraud and deception. No really, drugs fraud and deception. No,
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: But what they want are value added taxes. So each
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: transaction in the marijuana process would have to go through
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: a commercial exchange. So you can't just say, hey, will
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: you sell my stuff for me and give me a
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: percentage cut. Now the farmer will actually have to, by
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: state law, conduct a transaction in which value is exchanged
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: for the plants, and then he is taxed on those transactions.
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: So you've inserted now a value added tax on top
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: of this, because Colorado has annually fallen way short of
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: anything close to their projections on how much they were
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: going to make from the sale of the wacky tobacci.
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: Now that you could argue, hey, how about you just
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: stop then, and their argument whenever they're struck with that
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: is but the criminals are just going to then sell it.
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: And that's the problem because when Colorado legalized the sale
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: and possession of marijuana, or decriminalized it it's the more
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: appropriate word, the criminals didn't stopped selling it. They started
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: selling it without tax so it was cheaper. They started
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: selling it, you know, all biologically amended and hybridized to
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: make it more potent. So most Colorado's last survey I saw,
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: which was about a year ago, still by marijuana illegally,
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: not from the state dispensaries. Uh oh, I think I
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: know where your tagged revenue went. And so this is
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: another instance where the do rights, the Dudley do rights.
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: Oh well we use just everyone's doing it anyway. Let
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: this be an example. How many times have we done
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: illegal immigrant amnesty only to be promised, oh, this is
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: the last time that once you do this, amnesty will
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: never have a problem with amnesty again. And that was
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: two or three amnesty. There was amnesty, Amnesty two and
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: then mini amnesty. Because the idea that the government can
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: do these things for you like a venture capital firm
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: is crazy, but we get gas lit into it every day. Anyway,
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: So as we finish up this morning to watch for us,
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: we'll be out on Long Island tomorrow there as we
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: have to head there and hopefully, you know, we'll have
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: breaking news out of Islamabad or at least about Islamabad
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: there and we'll get you all that squared away. This
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: oh I wanted to out. Yes, this email came in
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: early in the show. We were just kind of griffing
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: on the idea that the QBC channel has failed because
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: they failed to grasp the changing technology. Teresa says, what
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: kind of changing technologies that they have been doing? Well,
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: they should have immediately become more like TMU, because you know,
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: with QBC. It's still you've got a call and you've
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: got to know. Maybe you have a QR codes on
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: a screen on the internet. You don't even need a
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: TV satellite distribution network anymore. But they couldn't do it
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: until they had hemorrhaged so much money that bankruptcy was
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: all they had. And we see this time and time again,
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: the government will come to our rescue, and then when
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: they don't, it's like, oh no, we're we're going to
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: have to close, really because you ran a bad business model.
• 52:43
  Speaker 10: Shocked Tam.
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: I'm Joe Thomas until tomorrow morning from Long Island. So
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: long and thanks for all the fish.
