"Turks and Cuckoo's" (Monday, April 13, 2026, Hour 4) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:02
Speaker 1: The bad news is that we have not reached the agreement.
0:05
Speaker 2: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
0:09
Speaker 3: Neither it's bad news for a Ran much more than
0:11
Speaker 3: it's bad news for the United States of America.
0:13
Speaker 4: Jewort said, steal mem you have a day at least
0:18
Speaker 4: for work.
0:19
Speaker 5: When the sun comes up, drops a pet to scoop
0:21
Speaker 5: of nos.
0:23
Speaker 4: Jo has everything, a jinda all the chosen needs, no
0:29
Speaker 4: wonder Joe's once smiled, he only aims.
0:36
Speaker 3: Joe, thank you for letting me be of service to
0:38
Speaker 3: you this morning. Joe, bless you for keeping me from
0:45
Speaker 3: the important issue.
0:45
Speaker 1: They want to have nuclear weapons and im going to
0:47
Speaker 1: have nuclear weapons.
0:48
Speaker 6: I've been saying that for thirty years.
0:50
Speaker 7: I would never allow.
0:51
Speaker 6: That to happen before I was in politics. And that
0:54
Speaker 6: country will not have nuclear weapons. Most countries shouldn't be
0:57
Speaker 6: allowed to have, but that country will not have.
0:59
Speaker 1: No.
1:00
Speaker 3: We were queried earlier, not that we judge, but we
1:04
Speaker 3: were queried earlier about Iran and its nuclear ambitions. And
1:10
Speaker 3: who says they want nuclear weapons? Why? Even Tim Kaine
1:13
Speaker 3: said on ABC this Sunday morning, we had already controlled that.
1:18
Speaker 3: I don't know what all that going on was about
1:20
Speaker 3: we had it under control. We had their nuclear weapon
1:24
Speaker 3: technology under control, despite denying that it existed anyway. Orbond's
1:35
Speaker 3: defeat shows what Trump's opponents keep doing wrong. This is
1:40
Speaker 3: Politico magazine. The Hungarian election was a setback for MAGA,
1:45
Speaker 3: they claim, but the winner's campaign should be a wake
1:49
Speaker 3: up call for Trump's opponents. The defeat of Hungary's Prime
1:53
Speaker 3: Minister Victor Orbon should deliver a sharp jolt to one
1:57
Speaker 3: of America's two major political parties. Oddly, it's not the
2:00
Speaker 3: Republicans deeply invested, though they were in Orbon as a
2:04
Speaker 3: fellow traveler. Russian word for that is sputnik. There is
2:09
Speaker 3: no question that Orbon's downfall is a loss for MAGA
2:13
Speaker 3: style politics. And is it really We can discuss. But
2:18
Speaker 3: this is Politico's stand. It's their column. They made it up.
2:22
Speaker 3: A reminder that even a developed system of so called
2:26
Speaker 3: illiberal democracy has its limits. President Trump and Vice President
2:30
Speaker 3: Vance committed personal credibility and political capital to maintaining Orbonism,
2:37
Speaker 3: including dispatching Dvance to campaign for the premiere. The outcome
2:41
Speaker 3: is a setback for a White House, but a reminder
2:44
Speaker 3: to the Democrats. Strange as that may sound. That's because
2:48
Speaker 3: Orbon's ouster represents a triumph for a particular brand of
2:52
Speaker 3: disruptive politics, one defined by reformist candidates. Launch excuse me, Oh,
3:08
Speaker 3: we may need to go to the news here. No, No,
3:11
Speaker 3: I'm not. I'm not choking on the very words we're
3:14
Speaker 3: trying to read here. No, it's just all of a sudden,
3:18
Speaker 3: something got in in there where it shouldn't have gotten
3:20
Speaker 3: into during the break apparently. And now I'm gonna have
3:26
Speaker 3: to grab a sip from my first free in the
3:29
Speaker 3: morning coffee. Oh he sticks in a promo. Anyway, there
3:33
Speaker 3: we go. Thank you, First three in the morning coffee
3:44
Speaker 3: tastes good and it will stop a coughing fit in
3:46
Speaker 3: its tracks. First three in the morning coffee is not
3:51
Speaker 3: designed to treat any medical condition. Should be used in
3:54
Speaker 3: consent consultation with your talk radio show hosts. Was the
4:00
Speaker 3: meeting on Saturday, JD. Vans and the envoys Witkoff and
4:12
Speaker 3: Kushner leaving their meeting with no deal with the Iranian
4:16
Speaker 3: government regarding the bombardment, the ceasefire, and the Strait of Hormuz,
4:22
Speaker 3: the President confirming that the hang up was nuclear weapons,
4:26
Speaker 3: which everyone claimed they weren't doing up until yesterday. US
4:30
Speaker 3: Central Commands said that American forces will be again enforcing
4:34
Speaker 3: that maritime blockade the President announced yesterday. According to Sentcom,
4:39
Speaker 3: the blockade which is more of an escort service where
4:43
Speaker 3: they stop ships and then make sure they pass through
4:45
Speaker 3: without having to pay Iranian tribute, much in the same
4:50
Speaker 3: way the Barbary pirates charged tribute to Jefferson at al
4:54
Speaker 3: in seventeen eighty six. Centcom says the ships will begin
4:58
Speaker 3: in two hours time at the Strait of Hormuz. Iran however,
5:03
Speaker 3: warned that if military vessels go into the strait, they
5:07
Speaker 3: will violate the ceasefire and bring a strong forceful response.
5:13
Speaker 3: Saudi Arabia has restored full oil pumping capacity through its
5:17
Speaker 3: East West pipeline, seven million barrels a day now flowing there,
5:22
Speaker 3: and they also announce they want to expand operations with
5:26
Speaker 3: more pipelines in the hopes that it renders shipping through
5:30
Speaker 3: the Strait of Hormuz a moot point. Eric Swalwell hung
5:35
Speaker 3: up the spurs on his gubernatorial campaign, saying to my family,
5:42
Speaker 3: staff and friends and supporters, I'm deeply sorry for the
5:45
Speaker 3: mistakes and judgment I made and those are some of
5:50
Speaker 3: our first things this morning, another sip of that coffee.
5:55
Speaker 8: Every state is home to significant historic sites that tell
5:58
Speaker 8: the American story, if not every site is telling that
6:01
Speaker 8: story honestly and fairly. That's why the Heritage Foundation created
6:05
Speaker 8: the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites. This interactive guide equips
6:10
Speaker 8: American citizens with the tools they need to enjoy the
6:14
Speaker 8: sites that depict some of the greatest moments at our

6:26
Speaker 8: over forty five sites in the thirteen original colonies, but
6:29
Speaker 8: sites from all fifty states will be added in time
6:32
Speaker 8: for citizens to celebrate America to fifty this summer. From
6:36
Speaker 8: Mount Vernon to Independence Hall to Gettysburg and more. Americans
6:40
Speaker 8: deserve transparency, and sites that steward our history faithfully deserve
6:45
Speaker 8: our gratitude. The Heritage Guide to Historic Sites invites every

8:07

8:11

8:18
Speaker 10: our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to
8:22
Speaker 10: any nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing
8:26
Speaker 10: or reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
8:32
Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
8:37
Speaker 10: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
8:42
Speaker 10: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
8:46
Speaker 10: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

Speaker 5: Hi everybody, I'm Jack and it's always a boy.
10:01
Speaker 12: Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
10:03
Speaker 12: with animals.
10:04
Speaker 5: I'm not only in all of their.
10:05
Speaker 12: Beauty and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just
10:08
Speaker 12: look at the birds who gather supplies to build nests,
10:11
Speaker 12: or Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
10:14
Speaker 12: or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
10:17
Speaker 12: secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
10:20
Speaker 12: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
10:22
Speaker 12: in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
10:25
Speaker 12: by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
10:29
Speaker 12: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
10:32
Speaker 12: they also perform life saving work every day.
10:34
Speaker 5: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
10:36
Speaker 12: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
10:39
Speaker 12: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change.
10:42
Speaker 5: In their blood chemistry.
10:43
Speaker 12: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
10:45
Speaker 12: contribute to society and help those in need. So please

11:05
Speaker 3: And now a speech.
11:07
Speaker 15: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,

Speaker 15: art and brain.

11:31
Speaker 18: costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
11:35

13:13
Speaker 2: The first Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by
13:17
Speaker 2: Joe Thomas, the second most Famous Thomas and Charlott Smille.
13:21
Speaker 20: We're the fifty sixth man who signed the Declaration of
13:23
Speaker 20: Independence in the thirty seven who signed the Constitution.
13:27
Speaker 3: Is to you, mister Jeff, will miss you you. Happy birthday, Tom.
13:37
Speaker 5: God bless you please, mister.
13:42
Speaker 3: These fools the legislates.
13:45
Speaker 6: Right.
13:47
Speaker 3: Somebody asked me if they took the tour of Monticello,
13:53
Speaker 3: and it was just before we were hooked up with
13:55
Speaker 3: the Heritage Historic Sites, and they said, why why do
13:57
Speaker 3: they make a big deal about the fact that the
13:59
Speaker 3: matt were at Monticello so frequently that they had a
14:04
Speaker 3: bedroom named after them, And you can tour and part
14:06
Speaker 3: of the tour is you look at the Madison bedroom,
14:09
Speaker 3: he said, because if you ever go to Montpelier, you
14:12
Speaker 3: realize it's a mother daughter James and Dolly lived with
14:17
Speaker 3: his parents. It's a duplex. It's a big, fancy duplex.
14:23
Speaker 3: And the elder Madison's occupied the north side and Dolly
14:29
Speaker 3: and Jim lived in the south side. So if you
14:32
Speaker 3: lived with your parents, don't you think you'd visit your
14:34
Speaker 3: kind of eclectic, nerdy slash goofy friend as frequently as
14:41
Speaker 3: he'd have you. Yeah, we're going to spend the weekend
14:44
Speaker 3: down at Tom's ma.
14:47
Speaker 21: When do you got to be back?
14:48
Speaker 3: Well, you know it's a three day carriage ride by horse.
14:53
Speaker 3: Don't wait up. So that's just a sidebar under the
14:58
Speaker 3: historical comport. So let me finish this. We have Kareem
15:02
Speaker 3: hanging on the line as well. So the point political
15:05
Speaker 3: was making before I choked on it, as several of
15:08
Speaker 3: you said, Ah, you couldn't bring yourself to Saiah, Joe,
15:10
Speaker 3: you got typical. It was anti Trump. Actually it's not.
15:15
Speaker 3: Their point in the article is that Trump was just
15:18
Speaker 3: the forebearer of a movement that leads to Mayar and
15:24
Speaker 3: it includes Milai and leaders in Paris and Rome and
15:28
Speaker 3: Ottawa and Buenos Aires and Soul. It points out now
15:33
Speaker 3: quote here there is no ideological coherence to this group
15:37
Speaker 3: of new leaders. It includes a technocrat, former central banker,
15:42
Speaker 3: a conglomerate bashing former labor lawyer, a chainsaw wielding libertarian activist,
15:47
Speaker 3: and a tariff obsessed hotel developer turned reality TV star.
15:52
Speaker 3: You know that is, but all of it is blowing
15:56
Speaker 3: up the traditional political establishment. And on Jefferson's birthday, keep
16:01
Speaker 3: in mind that the one thing he did successfully do,
16:05
Speaker 3: aside from the Louisiana purchase, was start the Democratic Party.
16:11
Speaker 3: And you know, you realize that until Lincoln comes along
16:14
Speaker 3: and they found the Republican Party as a spin off,
16:17
Speaker 3: they basically leave the Democratic Republican Party and say we're
16:21
Speaker 3: just Republicans. We believe in the Republic. That was the
16:29
Speaker 3: last time Abraham Lincoln was the last new party candidate,
16:35
Speaker 3: and so entrenched and so sclerotic, and all these other countries.
16:39
Speaker 3: They're parliamentary systems in most cases, where it just takes
16:44
Speaker 3: getting your party into parliament. How it happens in parliament,
16:49
Speaker 3: you know, you get enough people of one party and
16:52
Speaker 3: you build a coalition and boom, you're the prime minister.
16:55
Speaker 3: It's a little different the United States, where the president
16:58
Speaker 3: is not necessarily elected by Congress, so it's different. But
17:07
Speaker 3: if you had representative districts that were based on the Constitution,
17:12
Speaker 3: and I mean even the ones that George Mason wanted,
17:16
Speaker 3: if you had districts those size, you'd actually have so
17:20
Speaker 3: many political parties. The power of these political parties more
17:25
Speaker 3: over than the power of the central government, because the
17:27
Speaker 3: power of the central government only can exist in the
17:30
Speaker 3: compliccency of the two political parties, their agreement to carry
17:36
Speaker 3: on this kubuki theater like a world wrestling federation, SmackDown
17:43
Speaker 3: metaphorical and rhetorical turnbuckle bouncing and that kind of thing.
17:50
Speaker 3: This is the only way that this authoritarianism exists is
17:53
Speaker 3: with the compliccency of the two political parties who believe
17:57
Speaker 3: themselves to be the unofficial fourth and fifth branches of
18:01
Speaker 3: our government anyway, so I wanted to finish up that point.
18:04
Speaker 3: They'll just cut straight hair, literally in my throat. But kareem,
18:08
Speaker 3: thank you for hanging on the line. What's on your mind, sir?
18:12
Speaker 7: Well? Hey, Joe, honestly, right now, Jim Cornett, I'm a
18:16
Speaker 7: big fan of his podcast, but I digress, Joe, Honestly,
18:20
Speaker 7: your show is it's a Piccadilly, just a Schmortsborg of
18:24
Speaker 7: great things to pull from going over to seas, back
18:28
Speaker 7: to this Irania thing. Have you happened to read any
18:33
Speaker 7: remarks from the Chinese government on their monitoring of the situation.
18:37
Speaker 3: I read that they have been monitoring the situation, which
18:40
Speaker 3: basically means we're standing by because we have our own
18:43
Speaker 3: Taiwan issue. I don't know if you saw Trump made
18:47
Speaker 3: a statement about Taiwan on Sunday as well, warning China
18:51
Speaker 3: off messing around in there.
18:54
Speaker 7: Did I hear anything about anybody visiting Taiwan from China?
18:59
Speaker 3: Not from me, But that doesn't mean they haven't, okay, uh, from.
19:04
Speaker 7: I understand, the Taiwanese opposition leader met with Jihim Tang
19:08
Speaker 7: and Beijing.
19:09
Speaker 3: All right, so I'm just you know, the opposition to
19:13
Speaker 3: China's or the opposition to the current you know, status
19:16
Speaker 3: quo leadership.
19:18
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, anyway, setting out aside, uh, great job bringing
19:25
Speaker 7: up Historyrhi hisphorical you know, precedents for us protecting their
19:29
Speaker 7: own people everywhere, which is kind of important. It's anytime
19:33
Speaker 7: the U. S is in goes anywhere in world, and
19:36
Speaker 7: we go everywhere, it's there is a comfort knowing that
19:40
Speaker 7: wherever you are, if you are taking hostage your family,
19:44
Speaker 7: people will come get you. I can't stress how comfortable
19:47
Speaker 7: that is.
19:47
Speaker 3: Well, you know, but there's also more to it that.
19:50
Speaker 3: My point with the Jefferson tying it into is that
19:54
Speaker 3: Jefferson and Trump are the only two leaders this country
19:58
Speaker 3: seems to have ever had, and the two hundred and
20:01
Speaker 3: fifty years in between them. That's got the idea that
20:05
Speaker 3: this hypocritical government of Islam, the government you know is
20:11
Speaker 3: is really nothing more than a shakedown racket. You know,
20:18
Speaker 3: so Ardent where there was their support of the Islamic faith,
20:24
Speaker 3: that they would sell it out for a few million dollars.
20:27
Speaker 3: And you know, if you give us, if you give
20:29
Speaker 3: us money, we'll let you go. And you know, and
20:33
Speaker 3: since then, we've been funding it, never mind Obama and
20:36
Speaker 3: his palate full of money. You know, we we've been
20:39
Speaker 3: paying them to leave us alone, bribing them to you know,
20:44
Speaker 3: leave us be, and they still haven't left us be,
20:47
Speaker 3: which is also an obviousness. You know, anyone who's lived
20:53
Speaker 3: more than twenty five years knows that if you pay
20:55
Speaker 3: somebody to leave you alone, they're only going to leave
20:58
Speaker 3: you alone for a little while. And so we've been
21:01
Speaker 3: bribing these folks to leave us b and they haven't
21:04
Speaker 3: left us b and all the while taking the money
21:08
Speaker 3: we've been paying them to build up ways to destroy us. So,
21:11
Speaker 3: you know, like I said, Jefferson wrote that we need
21:15
Speaker 3: to have a war against this, and Adams was the
21:18
Speaker 3: one that said, no, let's just pay him off. And
21:21
Speaker 3: that's a huge point, I think, inflection point. Yes, it's
21:26
Speaker 3: Jefferson's birthday, but if you compare where we were then
21:29
Speaker 3: to where we are now, how much time and treasure
21:33
Speaker 3: would we have been able to spare ourselves if we
21:36
Speaker 3: had listened to Jefferson. And the point I was making
21:38
Speaker 3: about Jefferson is that he's failed in all these great
21:41
Speaker 3: moments that he had this opportunity. He saw slavery for
21:45
Speaker 3: the execrable commerce, couldn't get that passed. Saw the Islamic
21:49
Speaker 3: barbary pirates as a problem that we needed to fight militarily.
21:53
Speaker 3: Couldn't get that passed. Those are the things he saw it.
21:56
Speaker 3: I just wish he was a little bit better of
21:58
Speaker 3: an arm twister or let hey Brandt. And her name
22:03
Speaker 3: is Shary I love.
22:04
Speaker 1: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
22:06
Speaker 1: for because of a surgery. She just went through.
22:09
Speaker 21: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
22:11
Speaker 21: talk about all the time, which is meda share. That
22:14
Speaker 21: is right.
22:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, So what was your experience like with Meta share
22:17
Speaker 1: and healthcare ability?
22:18
Speaker 21: Honestly, Brandt seamless and what a blessing that is when
22:21
Speaker 21: you're already nervous about a health issue which I was.
22:24
Speaker 21: Members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
22:27
Speaker 21: me tell you, having people pray with you when you
22:30
Speaker 21: call in with your need that is just refreshing. Yes,
22:34
Speaker 21: that's what it is.
22:35
Speaker 3: What I keep telling people.
22:36
Speaker 1: People love meda share and they love saving money. The
22:39
Speaker 1: typical family can save five hundred dollars a month.
22:42
Speaker 21: I am very thankful for Meta share. It is so different,
22:46
Speaker 21: and I mean different in a very very good way.

23:06
Speaker 22: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
23:11
Speaker 22: better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
23:16
Speaker 22: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports
23:20
Speaker 22: veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
23:25
Speaker 22: personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
23:30
Speaker 22: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
23:34
Speaker 22: on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
23:40
Speaker 22: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
23:44
Speaker 22: AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
23:48
Speaker 22: your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
23:53

Speaker 10: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
24:07
Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
24:12
Speaker 10: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
24:18
Speaker 10: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
24:22
Speaker 10: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
24:26
Speaker 10: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
24:31
Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
24:36
Speaker 10: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
24:42
Speaker 10: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
24:45
Speaker 10: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

28:44
Speaker 3: Let me get Ray in here. Let me actually Ray,
28:47
Speaker 3: hang on to that thought. We've got line two is here?
28:51
Speaker 3: This line three there, hang on one second, and good morning.
28:55
Speaker 3: Who's this Hey?
28:57
Speaker 5: It's from Florida.
28:58
Speaker 3: All right, Hey, Andy, hang on this second. I got
29:00
Speaker 3: folks ahead of you here. Let me get to Ray
29:03
Speaker 3: and then get him on his what's your what's going on?
29:06
Speaker 2: Right?
29:06
Speaker 3: We're talking about you earlier?
29:09
Speaker 6: Yes? Well, No, there's an interesting little situation developing out
29:14
Speaker 6: with the governor's race in California which could be highly amusing.
29:20
Speaker 6: It it probably won't happen. But turns out they have
29:24
Speaker 6: this sort of great fruit basket arrangement for their primaries.
29:29
Speaker 3: Right, everyone's on the same ballot, you know everyone.
29:32
Speaker 6: Yeah, everybody's on the same ballot. And turns out there
29:36
Speaker 6: are two Republicans running for governor and I don't know,
29:41
Speaker 6: maybe a dozen Democrats or something like that. And as
29:45
Speaker 6: the polling is going now, each of the Republicans is
29:50
Speaker 6: polling at about fourteen percent and none of the Democrats
29:56
Speaker 6: are polling above about ten. So it looks like if
30:03
Speaker 6: the election were hell today, and of course it won't
30:06
Speaker 6: be and things will change radically, but you could wind
30:10
Speaker 6: up with two Republicans as candidates, oh yeah, and no
30:16
Speaker 6: Democrats they are.
30:18
Speaker 3: Now the.
30:20
Speaker 6: Question is the Christion is what kind of chicanery would
30:24
Speaker 6: the Democrats pull to deal with this, because you know
30:27
Speaker 6: they'd have a fit. Well, it'd be so amusing.
30:30
Speaker 3: Do you see the original? The first chicanery I think
30:34
Speaker 3: starts with the whispers and allegations about Eric Swalwell, and
30:40
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, Nancy Pelosi abandons her political godson
30:45
Speaker 3: and then twenty one other Democrats. Now he's suspended his campaign. Clink.
30:51
Speaker 3: Now you're down to what ten Democrats and the two
30:54
Speaker 3: Republicans and Swalwell I think was pulling at about four percent.
30:58
Speaker 3: But who gets that four percent? Who does one person?
31:02
Speaker 3: Does it go to amongst all of them? You know?
31:05
Speaker 3: That's that's going to be the interesting thing is to
31:07
Speaker 3: watch the back room dealing of of these Democrats in
31:13
Speaker 3: California because and I've talked to folks about this, the reason.
31:18
Speaker 6: You're taking all the fun away. Oh I'm sorry, so much,
31:23
Speaker 6: so much more fun to just see Democrats having a fit.
31:27
Speaker 6: I mean, it's better even than anything it's that's happened
31:31
Speaker 6: in Illinois.
31:33
Speaker 3: Oh, I know, you know what's what's the old Will
31:35
Speaker 3: Rogers line. I'm a member of no organized political party.
31:39
Speaker 3: I'm a Democrat. Well, here's the thing that I was
31:43
Speaker 3: told about California Democrats, is there. California Democrats are actually
31:49
Speaker 3: two political parties. It's the California pro business Democrats and
31:55
Speaker 3: the far left looney basket of fruits and nuts Democrats.
32:00
Speaker 3: And that's why California actually, for the most part, has
32:04
Speaker 3: more conservative laws than Virginia does. Because Virginia's Democrats all
32:09
Speaker 3: vote in one voice. California's Democrats like fighting with each
32:14
Speaker 3: other over stuff. Because there are the pro business Democrats
32:17
Speaker 3: who in most other states would just be Republicans, but
32:21
Speaker 3: since the Republican Party has so gone into decrepitude in California,
32:28
Speaker 3: these pro business, mostly freedom thinking people have said, well,
32:33
Speaker 3: if I want to serve in office, I'm going to
32:35
Speaker 3: have to be a Democrat because ain't no Republican getting
32:37
Speaker 3: elected around here. And the interesting thing is Ray, this
32:42
Speaker 3: is the part that's going to be fun, and it's
32:45
Speaker 3: a peril in Virginia as well. I'm told that a
32:49
Speaker 3: lot of the support for these two Republicans are not
32:51
Speaker 3: going to leave the Republicans, you know, and if one
32:54
Speaker 3: drops out and the other runs, they will just coalesce
32:57
Speaker 3: and they'll both have this coalition together. Because those pro
33:01
Speaker 3: business Democrats felt like the redistricting was a bridge too far,
33:08
Speaker 3: and a lot of the support you're seeing in the
33:10
Speaker 3: polls for these two Republicans are coming from Democrats in Hilton,
33:16
Speaker 3: of course, getting Trump's endorsement and Bianco, who I I
33:20
Speaker 3: think I like Bianco more than Hilton, but you will
33:24
Speaker 3: see what Trump's endorsement does for that. But uh, there's
33:28
Speaker 3: a lot of Democrats who didn't like the redistricting in California,
33:32
Speaker 3: who are going to leave the Democrats anyway, And that's
33:36
Speaker 3: going to be even more fun than what you were
33:37
Speaker 3: talking about.
33:39
Speaker 6: Oh, we are coming up on a good year, don't
33:42
Speaker 6: you think.
33:42
Speaker 3: I think so, I really do, And you're you you know,
33:46
Speaker 3: I know that a lot of people don't share our
33:49
Speaker 3: thought about this, but I think you know, Governor Spanberger
33:53
Speaker 3: and and her lurch to the left after running as
33:58
Speaker 3: a moderate has inflamed You know, folks, We're going to
34:03
Speaker 3: see it on April twenty second when the results come
34:07
Speaker 3: in on the redistricting referendum, and I feel like we're
34:12
Speaker 3: heading forward a resounding rebuke against their position on it,
34:17
Speaker 3: because you have Democrats and Republicans alike saying, hold it.
34:20
Speaker 3: We supported this idea and now you're making us vote
34:23
Speaker 3: against it. No, I don't think so. And you're gonna
34:26
Speaker 3: watch June second.
34:27
Speaker 6: Yeah, devoutly to be hoped.
34:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, hope is something that we need to be
34:34
Speaker 3: devout about.
34:36
Speaker 6: Yes, but no, I've started calling her spamburger And you know,
34:43
Speaker 6: think of a can of hormlle spam, slice it up
34:46
Speaker 6: into pieces and put it on a bun. This woman
34:49
Speaker 6: is devious and oh yeah, gosh, I mean, you know,
34:54
Speaker 6: she's a perfect Democrat. You know, she said, says whatever
34:58
Speaker 6: she wants to get liked it, and then she completely
35:02
Speaker 6: ignores it all.
35:03
Speaker 3: Absolutely, there's a plea if you go to the Daily
35:07
Speaker 3: Signal website. My latest column is that Virginia's Democrats don't
35:12
Speaker 3: have an affordability problem. They have a believability problem. And
35:16
Speaker 3: it ties in.
35:17
Speaker 6: Because that's wonderful.
35:19
Speaker 3: Well, because it's about the energy costs, because you know, immediately,
35:23
Speaker 3: very quietly, going back into the regional greenhouse Gas Initiative dominion,
35:28
Speaker 3: our main energy company announced last week they've asked for
35:33
Speaker 3: and have been granted permission to pass all the costs
35:36
Speaker 3: of being in Reggie onto the consumer. Isn't that fun?
35:41
Speaker 6: Yes? Yes, isn't it wonderful? Isn't it wonderful? And we
35:46
Speaker 6: have the Democrat left to thank for this.
35:50
Speaker 3: Absolutely never said they were going to do it, but
35:53
Speaker 3: you know they did it.
35:54
Speaker 6: No, No, but well if they if they said what
35:57
Speaker 6: they were going to do, they'd never win an election.
36:00
Speaker 3: It's so true, This is so true. But this is
36:02
Speaker 3: why you're right This California gubernatorial uh, you know, free
36:06
Speaker 3: for all is going to be fun to watch, wouldn't it?
36:08
Speaker 3: Be nice though, if two Republicans are the only ones
36:11
Speaker 3: left on the ballot.
36:12
Speaker 6: Well, there was a time in Illinois where a Larousi
36:18
Speaker 6: won the Democratic primary, oh Man, and so the party
36:23
Speaker 6: actually went to bat against him and told everybody they
36:28
Speaker 6: tried to run some kind of a write end campaign,
36:31
Speaker 6: I think, But he had simply run as a quiet
36:35
Speaker 6: Democrat and he had a very good name. I don't know,
36:38
Speaker 6: it was like John Winthrop or something like that, where
36:43
Speaker 6: all the other names were sort of goofy or something
36:46
Speaker 6: like that. So people who didn't know what were going
36:48
Speaker 6: on they voted for him, and he was a Laroushi
36:53
Speaker 6: and they were just embarrassed beyond all comprehension. I mean,
36:57
Speaker 6: it's almost as bad as some of the things that
37:00
Speaker 6: Republicans did.
37:01
Speaker 3: Well, you know, so let's not forget the Linden LaRouche Foundation.
37:04
Speaker 3: Are the ones that printed all those Barack Obama posters
37:07
Speaker 3: with a little Hitler mustache on it, because did you
37:13
Speaker 3: not know that?
37:15
Speaker 6: No, I didn't know that. That's that's charming of them,
37:17
Speaker 6: isn't it time right?
37:19
Speaker 3: And they got it blamed on the tea part.
37:21
Speaker 6: It was devious, but in a different way, of course, Well.
37:24
Speaker 3: They felt like Obama had abandoned that he had promised
37:27
Speaker 3: them to go further left than he did, so they started.
37:31
Speaker 3: And what happened. All those posters got blamed on the
37:34
Speaker 3: tea party because they would show up at tea party rallies.
37:37
Speaker 3: But these, if you read the bottom, is it paid
37:39
Speaker 3: for by the Linden LaRouche Foundation. And yeah, that one
37:43
Speaker 3: never got out either the truths, the lies and everything
37:46
Speaker 3: that flies between ray good stuff, my.
37:49
Speaker 6: Friend, Yes, Sarah, keep going droll.

38:23

Speaker 23: children are living proof that it works. My arms, which

38:42

38:44

38:46

Speaker 2: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
44:17
Speaker 2: the second most famous Thomas, I'm Charlottsville on the fifty.
44:20
Speaker 20: Sixth man who signed the Declaration of independence in the
44:23
Speaker 20: thirty seven who signed the Constitution.
44:26
Speaker 3: Is to you will miss you since nobody here in
44:33
Speaker 3: his hometown will celebrate the guy. Why don't we right,
44:36
Speaker 3: God bless you.
44:37
Speaker 2: Please, mister.
44:41
Speaker 26: Falls the legislates.
44:44
Speaker 25: Rights away.
44:47
Speaker 28: Right.
44:47
Speaker 3: So Tom Hartzell writes into JT in the Morning Radio
44:51
Speaker 3: at gmail dot com on my uh call it analysis
44:58
Speaker 3: of Tim Kaine's eyebrows and say, you know, and I
45:02
Speaker 3: got to appreciate man. He finds the utility in the
45:06
Speaker 3: fact that he's got these big eyebrows, because if you
45:10
Speaker 3: watched him Kane, and he takes his glasses off to
45:13
Speaker 3: show how studious he is, he rests his glasses on
45:17
Speaker 3: his eyebrows. He says, we always thought Tim Kaine looked
45:21
Speaker 3: like Dilbert, looked like Dilbert, especially the hair. Okay, I
45:27
Speaker 3: I hadn't thought about that I'm gonna have to go back.
45:29
Speaker 3: And then does Scott Adams just pass away? Remember seeing
45:33
Speaker 3: something about that in There's Kareem. We were talking with
45:37
Speaker 3: Kareem and he brought up Pakistan and in proliferation and
45:41
Speaker 3: all this discussion of nukes. I don't know if you
45:44
Speaker 3: saw this, but our friend Erdiguan in Turkey has now
45:49
Speaker 3: threatened to invade Israel as well. And I wonder how
45:53
Speaker 3: long we're going to keep calling Pakistan and Turkey friends
45:56
Speaker 3: before we realize that's a the right idea.
45:59
Speaker 7: I do understand where they're having issues. And honestly, from
46:02
Speaker 7: the Euphrates to the Nile, that greater Israel patch on
46:05
Speaker 7: the soldiers of the IDF on their on their sleeve.
46:09
Speaker 7: They've gotten some from Syria and there's a there's a
46:13
Speaker 7: school of authors, says Jolani, who honestly, when he was
46:17
Speaker 7: part of ISIS was attacking everybody. But there was one
46:20
Speaker 7: country he never attacked. In fact, there was one country
46:23
Speaker 7: that provided medical treatment for his soldiers. But their divvy,
46:27
Speaker 7: they divvied up Syria and now they want to just
46:30
Speaker 7: but when I say they, I mean both Turkey and Israel.
46:34
Speaker 3: Well, and you know, here's the thing but we we
46:36
Speaker 3: leave out the fact that the Israelites were driven out
46:39
Speaker 3: of there in the first place, so you know, the
46:42
Speaker 3: Jewish state being where it is is as much a return.
46:47
Speaker 3: And ironically that if you go back into history, the
46:51
Speaker 3: phrase Palestinian meant jew The Palestinians were the Jewish people
46:57
Speaker 3: who lived in that area of Palestine, and they were
47:01
Speaker 3: the ones driven out. So you know who came first,
47:04
Speaker 3: It's the chicken the egg. Right now, Trump is this
47:07
Speaker 3: agent of I'm here, I'm dealing with this right now,
47:11
Speaker 3: and he's dealing with a playground bully that's been thugging
47:16
Speaker 3: up on the region for a long time. And that's why,
47:19
Speaker 3: and more of than even my point that this isn't
47:22
Speaker 3: a new war from last week when we were just
47:25
Speaker 3: pointing out that it was nineteen forty seven, it was
47:27
Speaker 3: getting ready for Jefferson's birthday, where I see his writing
47:30
Speaker 3: that he's saying we need to go to war with
47:33
Speaker 3: these people in seventeen eighty six that I realized this
47:37
Speaker 3: is the oldest war out there, and it's just Trump
47:40
Speaker 3: is the first one to actually say we need to
47:43
Speaker 3: do something about this.
47:47
Speaker 7: I hear you, Joe, anyway, you're coming up on the news.
47:49
Speaker 7: Hope you have a great show.

48:11
Speaker 3: what's on your mind this morning?
48:13
Speaker 11: Oh?
48:13
Speaker 7: Just Gehn wanted to let you know.
48:15
Speaker 14: First of all, I took the day off and went
48:18
Speaker 14: to I spent at court side at the Elizabeth More
48:24
Speaker 14: Memorial or not. It's really the the fellow who started
48:29
Speaker 14: the big tennis camp down here, Snell img and he's
48:33
Speaker 14: got football and basketball and all that. But a good
48:38
Speaker 14: friend of mine actually was at the Master's for the
48:41
Speaker 14: weekend and he paid for my ticket, and so I
48:44
Speaker 14: went in and got a plateful like goodies and then
48:49
Speaker 14: dragged my I have a camera I call Big Dog, right,
48:54
Speaker 14: and so with permission, I brought Big Dog and ended
48:57
Speaker 14: up getting some amazing shots after the tournament was over.
49:02
Speaker 14: Col Wh's really funny?
49:04
Speaker 3: Is it? At least to me?
49:07
Speaker 28: Is it?
49:08
Speaker 7: You know?
49:08
Speaker 14: Some of the folks down here, you know, have kind
49:11
Speaker 14: of like Nutty's leftist ideas. But and I was walking
49:16
Speaker 14: to the court because you know, it's Elizabeth Moore tournament.
49:20
Speaker 14: And my friend Gus, who actually was at J six,
49:26
Speaker 14: I would have been there too. I just stayed over
49:29
Speaker 14: sold the bus, right, But you know, Gus had gone
49:32
Speaker 14: up on a private, private little thing and anyway doubles
49:37
Speaker 14: and then I just said, you just have to hand
49:40
Speaker 14: it to her. You know, she she puts her money
49:43
Speaker 14: where her mouth is. She you know, bought like got
49:45
Speaker 14: twelve hundred acres and took it out of the path
49:48
Speaker 14: of the potential development, you know.
49:51
Speaker 3: And so you know, more kinds of ways. Well it's great,
49:56
Speaker 3: but you circle back to the master. It was very
49:59
Speaker 3: cool that you got to go. So I know, so
50:00
Speaker 3: few people that get to gold.
50:03
Speaker 14: Andrew Ford, my my friend who has the auction business
50:08
Speaker 14: locally here. Oh okay, all right, Well, he had had
50:14
Speaker 14: a bot of a bucket of tickets. The one of
50:18
Speaker 14: the sponsor or, one of the artists that does the sculptures,
50:23
Speaker 14: was actually from Venezuela, and he's absolutely hilarious. I think
50:28
Speaker 14: I have five or six of his sculptures. He was there,
50:31
Speaker 14: and Elizabeth Moore loves that, you know, his backstory of
50:35
Speaker 14: escaping from Venezuela. And so you know, there are all
50:39
Speaker 14: these kind of interesting things that are both sport related
50:43
Speaker 14: and are related. But it's all about the culture, right.
50:47
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it always is, you know, and the culture
50:49
Speaker 3: is going to live on. And that's where I think
50:52
Speaker 3: Venezuela has, you know, been able to be liberated to
50:57
Speaker 3: a degree, is because they had a culture that you know,
51:00
Speaker 3: was was pre Maduro, pre Chavez. That was why the
51:04
Speaker 3: food riots happened.
51:05
Speaker 14: When the price controls, you know, that's gonna cub It's
51:09
Speaker 14: gonna come come around appropriately, I think. So this incredible
51:14
Speaker 14: photograph of both two times, you know, one is just great,
51:22
Speaker 14: like singing the foreground where they have actually had the
51:27
Speaker 14: porches on the front of it.
51:28
Speaker 3: In the background, Oh, some of the beautiful houses down there, absolutely.
51:32
Speaker 14: But in the background this is like public house.
51:35
Speaker 3: Oh with those big gray monoya. It's really well, you know,
51:39
Speaker 3: and we'll see what comes of this. I know that
51:41
Speaker 3: the Cuban president Saber rattled a little bit over the weekend.
51:45
Speaker 3: But if if Castro, you know, the younger is negotiating
51:49
Speaker 3: on behalf, you know, who knows what's gonna come and
51:52
Speaker 3: the good stuff my friend, thank you, sir.
51:54
Speaker 14: Well, just keep doing what you're doing, absolutely and they
51:57
Speaker 14: just don't realize it.
51:59
Speaker 3: That's right. And as we finish up, a reminder again
52:02
Speaker 3: from the masters, not only do we always wind up,
52:05
Speaker 3: you know, it's just going to happen. We're going to
52:08
Speaker 3: wind up in the woods, We're going to wind up
52:10
Speaker 3: in the sand. We're not always going to hit it
52:12
Speaker 3: straight down the fairway. And the winners, the successful, are
52:17
Speaker 3: the ones who know or are confident enough in what
52:20
Speaker 3: they need to do when that happens, not avoiding it,
52:23
Speaker 3: but dealing with it when it happens. And just like
52:27
Speaker 3: falling behind is going to happen, what do you do?
52:31
Speaker 3: What is your plan? What is the flexibility into it?
52:35
Speaker 3: All of that in the grander scheme of things. Anyway,
52:38
Speaker 3: time for us to clean up and get ready for
52:41
Speaker 3: tomorrow morning. Until then, I am Joe Thomas here on
