"Not a Flaw, a Feature" (Wednesday, March 25, 2026, Hour 4) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Fiant and more megan.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Now make America great again than I've ever been.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Chunk
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: Whether it will become a force for good or ill
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: depends on man, And only if the United States occupies
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: a position of pre eminence can we help decide whether
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: this new ocean will be a sea of peace or
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: a new terrifying theater of war.
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: Of course, that was the famous Rice University speech by
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: Jack Kennedy, President Kennedy giving that speech but speaking I think,
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: you know, in analogous forms to what's going on in
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: the Strait of hor Mooze, because his point was that
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: as the United States had made sure that the Pacific
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: and Atlantic oceans were safe for all who want to
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: see fare and trade goods, that space would have to
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: be the same. And how is making sure the Strait
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: of Horn moves not open to all? I don't know,
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: but I guess they make the case. Coming up on
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: our first thing, so we can tell you what we're
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: going to talk about today and what the news is
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: that we're going to chop up. The first Doctor Clark
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: is on the line with us at least let me
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: find out what he's got on his mind, so I
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: can go google the answers to it. Good morning, No,
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: I don't do that. Good morning, Clark. What's going on?
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: So you were talking about being a civil rights issue
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: voting the other state sites. Sorry, Hakeem Jeffries.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, here's the thing, Joe.
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: One more time.
• 2:11
  Speaker 7: It's not about the.
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: Votes that the illegal aliens cast. Now, certainly they would
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: like for that to happen. What it's about is the
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: bogus votes that the Democrats cast.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: And if you look, oh gosh, I can't remember.
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: Some of it was in Sweet Home, Alabama. They started
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: going through and you know, the ballot machines are supposed
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: they're supposed to use a very specific stock of paper
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: for ballots.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: M usually mandated by state code.
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: Yes, and the machines have a system whereby they can
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: detect if it's not the correct stock of paper.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Right, apparently that's not too hard to disable.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: Joe, Well, all of those things, yeah, and examining us,
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: they're finding thousands abouts that are not the proper stock,
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: and in fact the paper came from other stables or
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: office depot not supposed to and that goes into something
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: that happened as well in Oh what was that place?
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: Where was that place? Was it Georgia? I believe hang
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: onder that thought, doctor Clark. Let me get our first
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: things out there. Otherwise people are like, what are we
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: supposed to be talking about here? More than four hundred
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: and fifty Transportation Security Administration officers have quit the job
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: since the partial federal government shut down in February. Still
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: about fifty thousand TSA officers are showing up at work
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: most of the time without pay and being backstopped by
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: ICE officers. They are a subject of quite a bit
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: of rhetoric on the talker's circuit yesterday, as Kim Jeffries
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: is saying, look at the horrible things the president is
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: doing now with these ICE officers. I'll bet you they're
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: at airport security looking for illegals, not trying to help
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: you get on your flight. The United States is said
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: to have sent a fifteen point piece plan through regional
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: mediators to the leaders of Iran. The spokesperson for that
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: leadership we're referring to as Tehran Terry because it's a
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: different person every time. But they keep to be of
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: the mind that they've actually invaded the United States and
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: are marching on Washington rather than the other way around.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: They say, we don't know who they're negotiating with. They
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: must be talking to themselves. The fifteen point proposal says
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: that Iran would give up its stockpile of enriched uranium,
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: except enhanced international inspections and monitoring of its nuclear facilities,
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: limit its ballistic missile ranges, and curb support for regional
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: proxy militias. Pentagon ordered a couple of one thousand power
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: troopers from the eighty second Airborne Division to deploy to
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: the Middle East, as President Trump.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Would not rule.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: Out putting US troops on Iranian soil, and Iran is
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: quietly demanding two million dollars per ship for safe passage
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: along the Strait of Horror Moves. Currently more than eight
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: hundred ships are backed up in and around the Strait
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: as it says that setting up an easy pass lane
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: will come next. National Transportation Safety Board said the fire
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: truck that got collided with an Air Canada commercial jet
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: didn't have a warning system equipped to it that would
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: have triggered a scramble before the deadly crash. First Thing

  Speaker 11: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 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
• 8:26
  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
• 8:51
  Speaker 11: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

  Speaker 7: Hi everybody, I'm Jack and it's always a boy.
• 10:01
  Speaker 13: Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
• 10:03
  Speaker 13: with animals. I'm not only in all of their beauty
• 10:06
  Speaker 13: and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
• 10:08
  Speaker 13: at the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or
• 10:11
  Speaker 13: Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
• 10:14
  Speaker 13: or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
• 10:17
  Speaker 13: secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
• 10:20
  Speaker 13: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
• 10:22
  Speaker 13: in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
• 10:25
  Speaker 13: by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
• 10:29
  Speaker 13: a wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 10:32
  Speaker 13: they also perform life saving work every day.
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
• 10:36
  Speaker 13: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
• 10:39
  Speaker 13: They work with diabetics alerting them when there's a change
• 10:42
  Speaker 13: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
• 10:44
  Speaker 13: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
• 10:47
  Speaker 13: in need. So please join me an American Humane and

  Speaker 3: on the Talk Media Network.

  Speaker 19: Certain Friendam.
• 13:26
  Speaker 9: Mountain, need to bring a tample do thesit?

  Speaker 7: Ron bar.
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: on this tedsday.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: And I wanted to go back.
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: To a clip we had and no we got Clark
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: is hanging on the line with us there. But this
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: clip from earlier on in the program this morning, and so.
• 14:07
  Speaker 20: What's happening today in America that should outrage everybody. He's
• 14:11
  Speaker 20: taking the very same agency that has been bursting into
• 14:16
  Speaker 20: our schools, into our churches, into our hospitals, into our courts,
• 14:23
  Speaker 20: and even into the homes of Americans. He's taking that
• 14:27
  Speaker 20: agency that is reckless, out of control and bringing.
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: Them to our airports.
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: That's Corey Booker making the case that now the ICE
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: agents who are helping out at TSA are there, they.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Must be looking for people. Oh be careful, don't show
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: your ID to the ICE agents.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: You might wind up in detention centers, being hustled off
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: to some deportation facility if you're not supposed to be
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: here in the first place. That's what Corey Booker puts
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: out and forgets the in the A great response. We'll
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: get to it from Tom Homan, who's coming to Dallas
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: with me. Not well, should be careful, how I say
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: that he's not in the car with me driving there,
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: Although that would be.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: A really fun drive. I don't know, maybe he wouldn't.
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: He seems like that kind of guy who just sits
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: in the car and reads and doesn't talk to anyone
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: else in the car, just stares out the window and
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: watches the world go by. Anyway, we're talking about civil
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: rights and how it's interesting that the same folks, and
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: it's how Hakeem Jefferies can sound like Governor George Wallace
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: when he talks about it being a states rights issue,
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: whether or not they dilute your vote by a half
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: or a quarter or two thirds, or however many times
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: they dilete your vote vote without somebody being there. It's
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: kind of adjunct also to this case out of Riverside County, California, Clark.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: So we left off with you pointing out that it's
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: not just the non citizens voting, it's the deceased citizens
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: and names just made up out of whole cloth. And
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: I brought up Georgie, Oh, good old Fulton County Georgia.
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: Nothing corrupt ever happened there, did it?
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Clark?
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: Right, No, a lot happened there. So look, Joe, here's
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: the thing. You're an American citizen. You have the right
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: to vote. I'm an American citizen. I have the right
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: to vote.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I bet the.
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: Vast majority of people listening are American citizens and are
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: supposed to have the right to vote. Every one of
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: these bogus ballots that they generate negates the vote, a
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: legitimate vote cast by a citizen that had the right
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: to vote.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely.
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: You know, you could make the statement that they are
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: denying hundreds of thousands of people the right to vote.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: But wait, that's not the case, Shoe.
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: If they generated enough bogus ballots to win elections, they
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: denied everybody to write the vote because they made the
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: decision and we did not.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: And also Rob Bonta, the Attorney General of California, and
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: his statement that what the sheriff is trying to do
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: by investigating these six hundred and fifty thousand ballots he's
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: subpoened out of Riverside is sowing discord and distrust in
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: the election. No, telling him he can't check those ballots
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: is what sows the discord and the distrust.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: And I remember it was New Year's Eve. Bard me.
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: It was New Year's Eve twenty twenty, and I forget
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: which channel it was, but was running hearings. It must
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: have been that final week of December of twenty twenty,
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: and they were holding hearings in Fulton County, Georgia, and
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: this corpulent fellow with a beard was up there explaining
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: how all these ballots in Georgia are supposed to have
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: a barcode on them to make sure that it can't
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: be scanned twice. And you were talking about paper stock.
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: And they found thousands of ballots in Fulton County that
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: didn't have the barcodes on them, and the judge. The
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: judge dismissed that because he said it was insufficient. That
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: was the first place I heard insufficient evidence to indicate
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: that the election results could change.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Joe.
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: I'm just gonna leave with what line is from Charlie
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: Brown said peanuts. If it can be destroyed by the truth,
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: it deserves to be destroyed.
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: But that's the you know, But they're not letting their
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: rhetoric the play acting. Yes, and Louise wrote in earlier
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: to an email, frustrated, not knowing what to do because
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: a lot of her friends, you know, they see even
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: what they would we would consider to be mainstream publications,
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: you know Newsmax or you know Fox News, reading the
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: you know Wall Street Journal, and they're pitching narratives that
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: are decidedly Trump is a danger. Trump lied, people died people.
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: Trump started a war in Iran. No, Jimmy Carter started
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: the war in Iran. You can make the case that
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: mister Dulles started the war in Iran, however you want
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: to slice it. The war in Iran was on before
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: Donald Trump got there. He's just decided, like he did
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: with so many of the other wars we're in. It's
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: time for us to end this mess. And we have
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: to be the ardent, not celebrants. I don't want people
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: to be sycophants running around just you know, sounding like
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: so many members of the congressional Trump chorus. I want
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: us to intellectually engage and understand. And maybe the first
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: place to do this, you tell me, doctor Clark, is
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: in an empathetic place where you understand why somebody would
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: feel the way. It's not because they're corrupt or they're
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: an idiot, or they're duped, or they're ill ill formed.
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: They've just been lied to so often that it becomes
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: the truth and you have to have that empathy first.
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: Maybe that's the Is that the key?
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Do you think, I know, we've been lied to?
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: You're finding it difficult to have empathy for somebody who's
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: been lied to.
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: Oh, we're like a Tracy Lawrence song right now. We've
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: been cheated on and pushed around and left alone and
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: lied to.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: But what's the what's the you know, what's the function
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: of right? What? What is the function of that? What
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: is the end result of that? Joe?
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: I wonder if we're not going to just have to
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: storm the bastile one of these days.
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: No, so this is and we'll all wind up in
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: the January sixth wing of whatever penety entry.
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: This is so okay, Well that was what they call
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: an insurrection. They keep it up and they'll see an
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: insurrection and that's going.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: To be different. Yeah.
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: But my worry in that, Clark is all the people,
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: and I'm talking about conservative people too, when they start
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: talking about doing stuff like changing the government and the
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: system's broken. I have not seen to be fair most
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: of them don't have a plan for what happens next,
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: and that worries me in and of itself tactically.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: But the ones who do have a.
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: Plan, I don't like their plans for what comes next.
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: Uh So I'd rather keep the system we've got and
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: fix it and sanctify it. You'll polish it up, strip
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: it and get a new code of varnish on it.
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: I think their goal is to get us to the
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: point where we do something like that.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: It's not a flaw but a feature. You have a
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: good morning, Clark take care four three four eight eight
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: two four two one seven. That's how you engage and
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: tell us why the news of the day is in
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: acting you.
• 22:01
  Speaker 21: Let's see if something costs less but people are happier
• 22:05
  Speaker 21: with it. That sounds like something to look into, and
• 22:07
  Speaker 21: that is meta share. Maybe you've heard switching to meta
• 22:10
  Speaker 21: share to pay for healthcare can save many families up
• 22:13
  Speaker 21: to five hundred bucks a month, and that is huge.
• 22:15
  Speaker 21: But it's also true that people are way more satisfied
• 22:18
  Speaker 21: after making the switch too. The members satisfaction rate for
• 22:21
  Speaker 21: meta share is double that of the typical health insurance plan.
• 22:25
  Speaker 21: Double meta share works too. It's been around for thirty years,
• 22:28
  Speaker 21: members have shared more than five billion dollars of each
• 22:31
  Speaker 21: other's bills. People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide
• 22:34
  Speaker 21: PPO network. So yeah, really you can save a ton
• 22:37
  Speaker 21: and like it better. Imagine being happy with how you're

  Speaker 3: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: Earlier in the program, we were talking about being here
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: in Mississippi, and I brought up something and it really
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: triggered some folks because I brought up an issue with
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: Mississippi in our flagship state of Virginia. I guess the
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: last time I brought up this story was when somebody
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: told me. Last early October, I was told that there
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: was no way that Jay Jones would get elected Attorney
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: General of the Commonwealth of Virginia because he had unapologetically
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: said you should shoot somebody in the head twice because
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: they disagree with you politically, and I said, I'm sorry.
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: We elected a and to be governor in twenty thirteen, despite.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Everyone knowing that.
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: He was being chased down by the Mississippi government for
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: defrauding their taxpayers out of a million dollars in seed
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: fund money to start an electric car company. They even
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: had prototypes of this thing. And there he was, and
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: Mississippi was, and I believe still are, in pursuit of
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: that million dollars from Terry mccauliffe. We should ask I
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: know his wife is now running for Congress in the
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: seventh district I think of Virginia. We should ask Dorothy
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: if Terry has ever successfully paid back Mississippi for the
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: or at least the Mississippi taxpayers for the million dollars
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: he defrauded them out of so they gave him the
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: seed money. This goes into why you shouldn't have all
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: this government investiture. Terry mccalliff comes looking for government seed
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: money to build his electric car company and starts in Virginia.
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: He lives in Virginia and It starts with the Virginia government,
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: which at the time Tim Cain was the governor, also
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: of Terry mccalliff's same political party, and Tim Kaine's administration
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: found his application to be so spurious they said, no,
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: Terry probably not going to give you the money for
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: that startup. So he went shopping around for a state
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: that was going to give him the money for this startup.
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: They were going to build a factory, build these elect
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: They to call them cars is charitable. They were like
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: golf carts with full panel doors on them, I think
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: is the best way to describe them. Slightly slightly more
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: body panels than one of these ATVs. So Terry wanted
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: to build this company, and he finally found a million
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: dollars ready to come out of the pockets of the
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: Mississippi taxpayers. So I said, you know that I'm here.
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: They're like, oh, it's another one of them Virginians. But
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: I was asked about what I meant by that. People
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: hadn't heard the story of Terry mcculloff and his fraud
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: against taxpayers.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: But that's the thing.
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: We don't even think fraud against taxpayers is a thing anymore.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: And our friend John Suttz. Do we have the clip
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: of John.
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: We should keep that clip of John where he talks
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: about fifty percent. He's got infographics up at this site
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: on his substack page John Sutz j O Nsutz infographic
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: showing that fifty percent of the population of the United
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: States contributes three percent of the federal budget. And that's
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: how we get away with it. That's how somebody like
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: Terry McCullough kids away with it because we shrug and
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: we say, good for the greedy bastards. Soak those taxpayers.
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: I'm not one of them. I get a refund check.
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: Sometimes my refund check is bigger than the amount of
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: money I paid.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's great times in America.
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: Where you can get a refund of more than you
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: actually paid in and somehow they don't call that socialism.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, it's all in a name. Kids.
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: They should have taught you, you know, English as a
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: second language, statistics as your first language. So anyway, that
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: was the Terry mccalloff point. Then this email on the
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: subject of the strait of Hormuz, Joe, thank you for
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: playing the John F.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Kennedy clip.
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: I had forgotten he was talking about space as a
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: place to make sure that we were protecting it from
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: being militarized. Do you think that we're militarizing? Now here's
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: here's the gag. Do we have the Kennedy speech, This
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: is the famous we will go to the moon in
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: this decay and do the other things. So I have
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: the whole speech, which includes the other things there that
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: led us into space, and now I think we're going back.
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: Somebody was telling me that we've got a Moon mission
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: coming up, first one since Apollo seventeen. I think is
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: the gig. But you know, he was talking about making
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: sure space was a safe place for four people to
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: you know, not fear for their lives, to protect these oceans.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there it is. That's that's the one I want. Yeah,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: go ahead. From the start there.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: New ignorance did and rested and wished to look behind them.
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, jump jump into the You saved the ignorant stuff
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: about me.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, thank you.
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: All the eyes of the world now look into space,
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: to the Moon and to the planets beyond. And we
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: have vowed that we shall not see it governed by
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: freedom and peace. We have vowed that we shall not
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: see space filled with weapons of mass destruction, but with
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: instruments of knowledge and understanding.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: So that was the clip.
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: I wanted that part right there, because they are all
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: the piece snakes. They say, see you know, and we've
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: got Star Wars and now he's got you know, Star Trek,
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: and you know, President Trump wants space bombers, and he
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: started the Space Force. And here's the dirty little secret.
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: Jack Kennedy, as a naval officer, knew this. In order
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: to make sure that space or the Straits of Hormuz
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: are straight or safe for all, you need military presence there.
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: So when Jack Kennedy is talking about making sure there
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: aren't weapons of mass destruction in space, he meant except
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: for hours. Because we're going to be the police department there.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: We're going to be the one.
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: Policing this vast new sea of opportunity and the Strait
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: of Hormuz. The reason I brought up the Kennedy speech
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: is the Strait of Hormoz is of the same ilk.
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: If we are to defend this sea or this ocean,
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: this trade route, we need to be there. And it
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: goes to what was we were talking earlier about interestingly enough,
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: now Iran is claiming the authority to charge a two
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: million dollars per boat tariff if you will toll on
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: these and I don't know if they'll have an easy
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: pass lane and a cash only lane. Whatever it is,
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: two million dollars per ship in hostage money. There's already
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: eight hundred ships backed up at the Strait of Hormuz.
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: Yet people are still convinced the Iranians are the victims here.
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: They're claiming sovereignty over something they don't have sovereignty over.
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: It happens to be a body of water near them.
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: But if you're going to threaten, I mean, this is
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: far worse than anything that happened before any of the
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: other conflicts. I mean, this is in a lot of ways,
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: ethically anyway connected to what Saddam Hussein did in Kuwait.
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: So Saddam Hussein invades Kuwait for no other good reason
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: except that just the week prior to the Iraqian version
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: of Kuwait, Kuwait had called Saddam Hussein and said, when
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: are we going to start seeing a paypack on.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: That loan we gave you?
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: And we don't know what conversations went on, but I
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: imagine it went something along the lines of I'll tell
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: you what, I have a tank division that's heading your way,
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: and they'll bring that first payment back there with you.
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: It'll be in the tank, you'll see a flash, and
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: that'll be the payment coming to you. So guaranteeing safe
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: passage is perhaps again debatable. You can debate the most
• 37:54

• 38:17
  Speaker 14: of Americans are unaware of this fact, according to a

  Speaker 15: million people a year. Even sadder, most of these deaths

  Speaker 15: healthier eating, and not smoking. Talk to your doctor about

• 41:26
  Speaker 15: if your doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication, listen. The

• 44:21
  Speaker 1: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: this morning.
• 44:25
  Speaker 5: So we get ramped up to get ramps up on
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: this Ted's day morning.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: Someday soon. I hope that's a you know, it's it's
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: neat seeing new places.
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: Never been to Dallas to been to Austin before, never
• 44:45
  Speaker 5: been to Dallas, but seapack is always worth it. Full
• 44:49
  Speaker 5: of folks who are doing should have mentioned this to
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: Andy as Congresswoman kat Camick is going to be on
• 44:55
  Speaker 5: the program, whether she's part of this Sharia Free America
• 44:59
  Speaker 5: con there. But we were talking earlier about theater and
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: it goes back to Adam's email about the tell Rico
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: fella in Texas that beat Jasmine Krockett and now is
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: the Senate candidate and is really, you know, as stiff
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: as can be, and a lot of people questioning, you know,
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: if is he really getting a full vetting from the press. No,
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: he's getting the Abigail Spanberger treatment. He is doing friendly interviews.
• 45:32
  Speaker 5: And this is the joy of podcasts. So because podcasts
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: delves into specific things and I still can somebody explain
• 45:41
  Speaker 5: to me and by all means use words like Luddheight
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: or Chromudgeon as much as you like. If I get
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: an answer, I don't care. Why is it these people
• 45:53
  Speaker 5: that publish egregious headlines on stories that have little, if
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: anything at all to do with what the content of
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: the story is. How do they still make money? What
• 46:04
  Speaker 5: are you monetizing?
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: Is it?
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: Is it purely my IP address? If it is, there
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: are things I think we can fix and the way
• 46:13
  Speaker 5: the Internet works, because I don't I don't see how
• 46:21
  Speaker 5: if somebody clicks on a story that says William Shatner
• 46:25
  Speaker 5: gives it to Donald Trump, and you click on it
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: and it's some story about the you know, Captain Kirk
• 46:32
  Speaker 5: saying how he really enjoyed getting into acting as a Canadian.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: Well, where does that get?
• 46:38
  Speaker 5: Oh, well, it's because Donald Trump said something about Canada,
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: so we published a story about Yeah, William Shatner loves
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: being a Canadian, But that has nothing to do with
• 46:48
  Speaker 5: the headline.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: But they do it.
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: They do it because it's monetization. You get to a
• 46:54
  Speaker 5: number of clicks who pays for this. It's just like
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: I watch some of these news programs. Is anyone actually
• 47:03
  Speaker 5: buying Pfizer pharmaceuticals because they answer CNN's wolf Blitzer Report.
• 47:12
  Speaker 5: I mean, at this point, anyone who still has a
• 47:14
  Speaker 5: rectile dysfunction doesn't need it anyway. I mean metaphorically speaking.
• 47:21
  Speaker 5: But we were talking about, you know, Tallerico and political theater,
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: that these are political theater kids now doing a show,
• 47:30
  Speaker 5: Abigail Spanberger, all these folks who are doing political theater.
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: Marjorie Taylor Green, my wife, asked me as we drove
• 47:38
  Speaker 5: through George's fourteenth district yesterday, she said, what happened to her? Well,
• 47:44
  Speaker 5: she was doing an act that she thought was going
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: to get her a lot of votes, and it did
• 47:52
  Speaker 5: until the act got too hard to keep up. The
• 47:57
  Speaker 5: same thing happened at the tea party at the same
• 48:00
  Speaker 5: thing is happening in the progressive movement. You've got people
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: like Tallerico who are doing a Obama Act and they're
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: not good at it, but it might be good enough
• 48:14
  Speaker 5: to win a majority in the House and Senate.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: And some of these folks they do it because there's.
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: Better money to be made at being involved in political leadership,
• 48:27
  Speaker 5: whether it be intelected office or as a party chair
• 48:29
  Speaker 5: and everything else. And I bring this up because a
• 48:32
  Speaker 5: friend of mine, a fellow who has interacted with me
• 48:36
  Speaker 5: on a previous but unmentioned iteration of this show that
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: I can't speak about too much because it's sort of
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: a David Letterman NBCCBS thing. But previously, Shariff Sam Page
• 48:49
  Speaker 5: of Rockingham County, North Carolina was a regular on this program,
• 48:54
  Speaker 5: not because we had an affiliate in Rockingham County, North Carolina,
• 48:58
  Speaker 5: but we would go to this event all the Federation
• 49:00
  Speaker 5: for American Immigration Reform feet to the fire, and every day,
• 49:05
  Speaker 5: first thing we're on the air at five am. By
• 49:08
  Speaker 5: six am, Sam Page would be in the room saying,
• 49:13
  Speaker 5: hey man, how are you? And he'd come by bigger
• 49:15
  Speaker 5: than life, twice as gregarious, and he'd sit down and
• 49:20
  Speaker 5: we'd talk for a half hour on law enforcement and
• 49:23
  Speaker 5: constitutional authority of a sheriff and everything else. So it's
• 49:26
  Speaker 5: with that I'm quite pleased to see that Phil Berger,
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: another one of these political profiteers who's forever planted himself
• 49:37
  Speaker 5: in the state leadership in North Carolina, has been shown
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: the door finally has conceded after expending hundreds of thousands
• 49:46
  Speaker 5: of dollars in challenges to his loss in a primary
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: race to run for the state Senate. He's the Senate
• 49:57
  Speaker 5: president pro tempore, and he was primaried by county Sheriff
• 50:01
  Speaker 5: Sam Page, mostly over the fact that Berger had forced
• 50:07
  Speaker 5: a casino into Sheriff Page's home county when nobody in
• 50:12
  Speaker 5: the county wanted it. Why because this is what people do.
• 50:17
  Speaker 5: So you say, well, that sounds like something a Democrat
• 50:19
  Speaker 5: would do. No, it's something an authoritarian would do. And
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: they come in both party flavors, and everyone says, oh, well,
• 50:29
  Speaker 5: this just makes it worse because you know Page is
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: a MAGA guy, and Maga is going to lose big
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: and Sheriff Page knows what he's doing, and it's he
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: didn't join MAGA. Maga saw him and said, that's our
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: kind of sheriff. He was already sheriff in Rockingham County,
• 50:47
  Speaker 5: North Carolina. But I sent a little email. I don't
• 50:52
  Speaker 5: think I still have his fresh email if I lost
• 50:55
  Speaker 5: all my emails, just like I'm sure David Letterman lost
• 50:58
  Speaker 5: all of his NBC emails when he went over to CBS.
• 51:03
  Speaker 5: So I think I went through the Sheriff of Rockingham
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: County's website and I said, please tell Sheriff Page. Joe
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: Thomas from Virginia said, congratulations, because this Senate leader Burger
• 51:18
  Speaker 5: finally has conceded losing his primary paddle. Of course, it
• 51:24
  Speaker 5: got all the North Carolina. You got the National Review
• 51:27
  Speaker 5: folks saying, oh, there's another seat that's going to lose.
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: You got the woman who won the congressional seat in
• 51:34
  Speaker 5: mary A Lago that represents the Mary Lago area.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: Again winning a race yesterday.
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: If you missed the story, Democrats win Trump's hometown in
• 51:55
  Speaker 5: a Florida House district. And again this is for the
• 51:58
  Speaker 5: Florida legislature. Tuesday special election was held. Democrats sent a
• 52:06
  Speaker 5: jolt Thursday through reliably red Florida, flipping two state legislative seats,
• 52:12
  Speaker 5: including a district containing President Donald Trump's Mary Lago home.
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: Democrat Emily Gregory defeated Trump endorsed House candidate in a
• 52:27
  Speaker 5: hotly contested race for Palm Beach County. But you know what,
• 52:32
  Speaker 5: that's how these things go. I've watched bad Republicans lose races.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: They deserve to lease.
• 52:42
  Speaker 5: Time for us to wrap up and get our heads
• 52:44
  Speaker 5: out of Mississippi and head to Dallas until tomorrow from
• 52:48
  Speaker 5: the Big Easy, So long, and thanks for all the fish.
• 52:51
  Speaker 14: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
• 52:53
  Speaker 14: compression of spinal nerves. According to doctor Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
• 52:57
  Speaker 14: California based chiropractor with more than three years of experience,
• 53:01
  Speaker 14: this compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury,
• 53:05
  Speaker 14: or simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
• 53:09
  Speaker 14: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
• 53:12
  Speaker 14: the neck and back. Doctor Fisher explains his inventions. The
• 53:16
  Speaker 14: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device
• 53:20
  Speaker 14: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
• 53:24
  Speaker 14: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are
• 53:27
  Speaker 14: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
• 53:30
  Speaker 14: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
• 53:33
  Speaker 14: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
• 53:36
  Speaker 14: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home,
• 53:38
