FTTxJT 062026 "What's So Civil About War?" · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:08
Speaker 1: The first thing today on the Tunk Media Network by
0:14
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas, the second most famous Thomas and Charlotte's vill.
0:25
Speaker 2: You know, somewhere, there's an agent somewhere down Nollys, some
0:35
Speaker 2: agent in New Orleans is thumbing through his mail and
0:40
Speaker 2: is getting some letter from as CAP or b m I.
0:44
Speaker 2: And he's opening it up and it says, well, we
0:49
Speaker 2: got a bigger royalty check than we did in the
0:51
Speaker 2: last twenty years. Hey, Vince, give me Vince Vince on
0:55
Speaker 2: the phone Iran deal. President Trump last night took to
1:02
Speaker 2: truth social responding to all the criticism coming from both sides.
1:08
Speaker 2: I mean, Chuck Schumer said, you know, two weeks ago,
1:12
Speaker 2: Trump never got our permission to go into this war.
1:16
Speaker 2: This week it was Trump never got our permission to
1:18
Speaker 2: stop this war. All the people you know who are
1:24
Speaker 2: using their positions on the war to hide their anti
1:28
Speaker 2: Semitism under you know who you are. They've lost their
1:38
Speaker 2: premise now and their battel control. It seems the blogo
1:43
Speaker 2: sphere is full of people who are I don't get it,
1:46
Speaker 2: you know what's funny, And I try not to be
1:48
Speaker 2: shallow or thin skinned about it, but I'll get emails
1:51
Speaker 2: all the time, especially once we got into partnership with
1:55
Speaker 2: the Talk Media Network and the great folks. You know,
1:59
Speaker 2: and you want to associate with good quality people. Somebody said, well,
2:04
Speaker 2: would you know these are good quality people that I'm
2:09
Speaker 2: involved with. I don't care if I'm on five Well,
2:13
Speaker 2: I could get you on five hundred stations. I'd rather
2:15
Speaker 2: be on the fifty that we're on, knowing that we're
2:17
Speaker 2: in a relationship with good people, and honestly, you're only
2:21
Speaker 2: listening to one of them, so it doesn't make a
2:22
Speaker 2: difference to you. But once we started distributing this show
2:27
Speaker 2: to places like San Antonio and Portland and Chicago and
2:31
Speaker 2: Long Island. From here in the birthplace of the nation,
2:36
Speaker 2: everyone's like, well, what about Jefferson. Jefferson was nowhere near
2:39
Speaker 2: Central Virginia and his home in Charlottesville. As a matter
2:42
Speaker 2: of fact, a big part of his story his narrative,
2:45
Speaker 2: is that he wanted to get the Declaration of Independence finished,
2:49
Speaker 2: ratified and sent off to England so he could get
2:52
Speaker 2: back home to Charlottesville, where we come to you from
2:57
Speaker 2: this morning. And Stanton was home to great Independence Day
3:01
Speaker 2: celebrations started by the Statler brothers, and we'll be bringing
3:04
Speaker 2: some of that to you in a couple of weeks.
3:10
Speaker 2: But when we started this distribution more broadly, people are like, well,
3:13
Speaker 2: who the hell are you? What gives you? Who gives you?
3:16
Speaker 2: It's about you. My interactions with so many of you
3:21
Speaker 2: over the years I've been doing radio, I get it.
3:24
Speaker 2: I mean, I know the people who are the people
3:27
Speaker 2: behind the people. So I do have low friends in
3:30
Speaker 2: high places that give me some inside information. But moreover,
3:34
Speaker 2: I know how this stuff has impacted you over years.
3:39
Speaker 2: And if there's a reason things get me jacked up,
3:42
Speaker 2: it's how you get mistreated by the people who are
3:46
Speaker 2: supposed to be representing you. So President Trump, answering some
3:52
Speaker 2: of the critics both sides, He wrote on Truth Social
3:55
Speaker 2: the war has this diminished Iran. It doesn't any longer
3:59
Speaker 2: have an air force, a navy, anti aircraft equipment, radar,
4:03
Speaker 2: or practically anything else. And yet the Democrats say that
4:07
Speaker 2: Iran is better off now than it was four months ago.
4:10
Speaker 2: Can you imagine getting away with that? How stupid can
4:13
Speaker 2: some people be? I love the Truth Social posts. When
4:17
Speaker 2: he just cuts loose and nobody's around, even Stephen Miller's
4:21
Speaker 2: not in there. Susie Wiles isn't in there saying Don
4:24
Speaker 2: Donson EOI wields authority because in the past, guys like
4:31
Speaker 2: John Podesta would have control over this kind of stuff
4:35
Speaker 2: before it got to the press. Bill Clinton to be
4:37
Speaker 2: in there ranting about some such and John would say
4:40
Speaker 2: to George, snuffle up agus, don't you put that out
4:44
Speaker 2: until I clear it. Then he put out this post.
4:49
Speaker 2: We didn't need We didn't meet out of desperation, Iran did.
4:53
Speaker 2: They're finished. We'll play out the sixty days. They get
4:56
Speaker 2: no money, not ten cents under the argument. And again
5:02
Speaker 2: this is all about people reading the fourteen point memorandum
5:05
Speaker 2: of understanding and then inserting what they think it means.
5:11
Speaker 2: And so you know that insertion. Again these folks who
5:15
Speaker 2: are on the blog of sphere, and nobody ever asks
5:17
Speaker 2: them like they always query me, is what gives you
5:20
Speaker 2: the right to have this radio show? Who gave you that?
5:23
Speaker 2: It's always the thought that somebody has to be given something.
5:28
Speaker 2: I'm going to have to give you the news in
5:30
Speaker 2: about four minutes here, So let me get some phone
5:32
Speaker 2: calls in here. As I said, we're trying to find
5:34
Speaker 2: out how this impacts you where you are. So let
5:37
Speaker 2: me go to four, three, four, eight eight, two four
5:39
Speaker 2: two one seven, Good morning. Who's this?
5:42
Speaker 3: Good morning, Joe. It's Kareem.
5:43
Speaker 2: Hey, Kareem. How are you doing this Saturday morning?
5:47
Speaker 3: I'man outside it's beautiful weather, but still working, so otherwise
5:52
Speaker 3: it's a normal day.
5:52
Speaker 2: Well, you're you are the avatar of why we do this.
5:56
Speaker 2: I mean people aren't working Monday through Friday eight am
6:00
Speaker 2: four pm anymore.
6:03
Speaker 3: No. No, banker's hours, doctors hours and dentist hours. Those
6:06
Speaker 3: are the ones we all aspire A half.
6:08
Speaker 2: I don't know about that. I like getting up at
6:10
Speaker 2: three o'clock in the morning and having the day in
6:12
Speaker 2: my hands before anyone else gets up. There's a there's
6:16
Speaker 2: a feeling of unrequited power in that. But anyway, what's
6:20
Speaker 2: on your mind's what's hitting you this morning.
6:23
Speaker 3: Oh, there's a lot going back to just a quick
6:27
Speaker 3: touch on Bob in Moscow's anecdote about Scotland. It's not
6:31
Speaker 3: an anecdote, it's with a note, so he is known
6:35
Speaker 3: in Scotland. If you look back at Sports Illustory, I
6:38
Speaker 3: think had an article, let's say, I say twenty years
6:42
Speaker 3: ago about the British Open. There were over one hundred
6:46
Speaker 3: players from Nigeria who registered and so at that time
6:50
Speaker 3: I think they only had one golf course with grass
6:54
Speaker 3: in Nigeria, in Nigeria, not in Scotland. But so over
7:00
Speaker 3: one hundred Nigerians went there to play they opened, only
7:03
Speaker 3: three showed up for play. Anyway, setting that aside, interesting.
7:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I remember that story. Where did they go.
7:12
Speaker 3: The looking at infrastructure military infrastructure? We bombed our end.
7:17
Speaker 3: I think we hit dropped fifteen fifteen thousand or something thousands,
7:22
Speaker 3: thousands of sites they said we hit, and lots of sorties,
7:26
Speaker 3: lots of lots of damage, instruction and all that ordinance
7:31
Speaker 3: that we that we dropped. We have little whispers of okay,
7:35
Speaker 3: the second deaf is talking to General Motors about or
7:39
Speaker 3: not the second death, but defense contractor. We'll talking about
7:41
Speaker 3: General Motors about okay, we need a production, we need
7:43
Speaker 3: a production of these critical parts.
7:45
Speaker 2: Well, the president acted. The President this week enacted the
7:50
Speaker 2: World War Two where Defense Procurement Ordinance so they can
7:56
Speaker 2: make deals with other companies and they can tool because
8:00
Speaker 2: the ones we're getting our bombs from and our missiles
8:03
Speaker 2: from can only make so many. I think it exposes
8:06
Speaker 2: a little bit of a weakness if if we ever
8:09
Speaker 2: got into an actual, you know war, like what's going
8:12
Speaker 2: on between Russia and Ukraine. There's a problem there and
8:16
Speaker 2: I think that needs to be addressed. But as who
8:20
Speaker 2: is the very first military Industrial Complex member? Do you
8:25
Speaker 2: know who?
8:25
Speaker 3: That was? DuPont? Yeah?
8:30
Speaker 2: Oh, hey, yes. Ben Franklin was friends with Ei do
8:34
Speaker 2: Pont of being in the Philadelphia area Wilmington, and he
8:37
Speaker 2: introduced him to the Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson under
8:42
Speaker 2: the premise of it would be a good idea to
8:44
Speaker 2: have stockpiles of black powder, and thus the first military
8:49
Speaker 2: contract was struck. My name is Bobby.
8:52
Speaker 1: I'm a veteran and lost my leg to a roadside bomb.
8:55
Speaker 1: My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a
8:57
Speaker 1: weightlifting champion. I'm Sam. I'm a veteran.
9:01
Speaker 4: My victory was finding a career I can be proud
9:03
Speaker 4: of and supporting my family.
9:05
Speaker 5: America's veterans are on their most important tour, the tour
9:08
Speaker 5: of their lives.
9:10
Speaker 1: I'm a veteran. My victory was going from homeless.
9:13
Speaker 5: Toll at dav We're on a mission to help veterans
9:17
Speaker 5: get the benefits they've earned.
9:18
Speaker 4: I'm a veteran and my victory was finishing my education.
9:22
Speaker 5: DAV offers veterans of all generations a lifetime of support
9:26
Speaker 5: for victories great and small.
9:28
Speaker 2: My victory was proving that disability is not a limitation.
9:32
Speaker 3: My victory was getting my service dog and new best friend.
9:35
Speaker 5: We help more than a million veterans every year as
9:38
Speaker 5: they face and conquer their challenges.
9:40
Speaker 2: My victory is being able to be there for my family.
9:43
Speaker 5: When America's veterans win, we all win.
9:46
Speaker 2: Help us support more victories for veterans. Go to DAV
9:49
Speaker 2: dot org.
9:52
Speaker 1: We'll do it making mornings great again. The first thing
9:55
Speaker 1: today it on the Tunk Media Networks by Thomas.
9:59
Speaker 4: We'll do it long, jew Ward said, steal.
10:01
Speaker 2: Me, including saturdays, please for.
10:05
Speaker 6: Work when the sun comes up, drops all to.
10:09
Speaker 2: Serve you better.
10:12
Speaker 3: All the.
10:15
Speaker 1: No one that Joe's as smiled.
10:18
Speaker 2: He only Joe telling you what went on last night
10:25
Speaker 2: and chatting with you about it. Kareem was on the
10:29
Speaker 2: line when we owned the news. But my point is
10:33
Speaker 2: that you know you you do need to have stockpiles
10:37
Speaker 2: of munitions available and ready, uh if you do need
10:42
Speaker 2: to go into something, because we saw that in World
10:45
Speaker 2: War Two. How long it took us to ramp up.
10:47
Speaker 2: I mean there's probably six months of just trying to
10:49
Speaker 2: ramp up production of military equipment. So you know there,
10:54
Speaker 2: I think they've already struck that. But what was your
10:57
Speaker 2: point on the on the the clearing of our shelves
11:03
Speaker 2: of ordinance?
11:06
Speaker 3: Again, there's a lot. We had seven thads I think,
11:09
Speaker 3: and most of them were elsewhere. We still can't detect.
11:14
Speaker 3: We don't have anything. We just still don't have anything
11:16
Speaker 3: to detect. Essentially, if so let's say Russia sends a
11:19
Speaker 3: hypersonic over the South Pole, we don't really have Granted
11:23
Speaker 3: they're fast enough, we wouldn't have that much time to
11:26
Speaker 3: if they do so enough North Pole. Anyway, we need machinists,
11:29
Speaker 3: we need tradesmen. We don't have that going on to
11:31
Speaker 3: school as we've been relying on other countries to train
11:35
Speaker 3: our people and actually to get people from other places.
11:37
Speaker 3: I've heard again, Scott, but this is an anecdote, this
11:40
Speaker 3: is not a with note somewhere North Alabama very important place,
11:48
Speaker 3: not just space for us, but but if you want
11:51
Speaker 3: to know how we are going to do against Iran's missiles,
11:55
Speaker 3: or Russia's missiles, or China's missiles, anybody's missiles that North
11:59
Speaker 3: Alabama is Rocky City for a reason. At some point
12:03
Speaker 3: they were having a hard time getting carpenters, not not
12:07
Speaker 3: highly trained people. This isn't Rocket City rednecks on that geo.
12:11
Speaker 3: This is people who are just the foundation the people
12:14
Speaker 3: who build the foundations for the things that we make
12:17
Speaker 3: six months not to train. If you look at the
12:20
Speaker 3: Band of Brothers, that was just for military action, they
12:22
Speaker 3: were in training for a year and a half before
12:24
Speaker 3: they saw combat. So all this rampant for they can
12:28
Speaker 3: print as much new money as they want at it,
12:29
Speaker 3: try to throw all the cash they want, try to like, oh,
12:32
Speaker 3: we're talking all these millionaire billionaires in the defence industries.
12:37
Speaker 3: It's it's going to be ugly. And I think we're
12:39
Speaker 3: going to we're being sold a bill of goods that, oh,
12:41
Speaker 3: we just need to spend more money. So this one
12:43
Speaker 3: point five tree and budget that he wanted to do,
12:45
Speaker 3: it's it's going to be closer to two anyway.
12:49
Speaker 2: Checking my call, Oh absolutely, without question, Kareem. But here's
12:54
Speaker 2: there's more to this than just that. And I appreciate
12:58
Speaker 2: you giving us a look into what other people are saying.
13:01
Speaker 2: I don't listen to a lot of the commentariat, mostly
13:05
Speaker 2: because I don't want that coloring what we get into
13:08
Speaker 2: there is there is some you know question and and
13:14
Speaker 2: so it's somebody looking for something and particularly guilty of it.
13:17
Speaker 2: Here in our flagship state. Mark Warner, the vaunted head
13:22
Speaker 2: of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is now talking about, oh,
13:24
Speaker 2: we don't have any guns left. Well, everybody bullets left.
13:27
Speaker 2: And it's the rhetoric that that they're spewing that isn't
13:30
Speaker 2: true and it's disingenuous. I'll explain why we when we
13:35
Speaker 2: get back from break.
13:37
Speaker 7: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
13:42
Speaker 7: actually three known gas is hi, I'm doctor Mitch, and
13:47
Speaker 7: nitric oxide is a gas that's readily made all day
13:51
Speaker 7: long to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood
13:55
Speaker 7: vessel walls. By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood,
14:01
Speaker 7: oxygen and nutrients to every part of your body. Both
14:06
Speaker 7: age and poor diet can lead to a loss of
14:09
Speaker 7: this precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
14:13
Speaker 7: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
14:16
Speaker 7: your hands and feet. Well, our product, ultimate nitric oxide,
14:21
Speaker 7: can easily help fix this. Lack of nitric oxide go
14:25
Speaker 7: to total wellness. Dot com. That's total Wellness dot com,
14:29
Speaker 7: where we are helping you to look good, feel good,
14:32
Speaker 7: and enjoy total wellness.
14:45
Speaker 3: Question.
14:46
Speaker 1: The first thing today on the Talk Media Network by
14:49
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas, the second most famous Thomas and Charlot's surmondering
14:54
Speaker 1: is really quite ferocious.
14:56
Speaker 7: It's right up us to take some lines and make
14:58
Speaker 7: them sound prepocious for.
14:59
Speaker 6: The Congress or so this information's origins.
15:03
Speaker 2: Us disinformation is actually even you know, perhaps even more
15:12
Speaker 2: laudable than partial information. And you know some of what
15:16
Speaker 2: is going out MS now and the left wing is
15:20
Speaker 2: the same crowd. These are the same folks who did
15:22
Speaker 2: the no Nukes marches in the seventies, disingenuous in their thoughts,
15:28
Speaker 2: strucks or even better, you know, we all know the
15:31
Speaker 2: famous bit of Eisenhower's farewell address about the military industrial complex,
15:37
Speaker 2: and then this program honks on about the governmental and
15:42
Speaker 2: scientific collusion that he warns about after that. But there's
15:46
Speaker 2: a part that precedes it that I think is illuminative
15:50
Speaker 2: of what he was pointing out, that there was a
15:54
Speaker 2: need for military stuff.
15:57
Speaker 6: Crises there will continue to be in meeting them, whether foreign,
16:02
Speaker 6: our domestic, great or small. There is a recurring temptation
16:07
Speaker 6: to feel that some spectacular and costly action could become
16:11
Speaker 6: the miraculous solution to.
16:13
Speaker 2: All current difficulties.
16:16
Speaker 6: A huge increase in newer elements of our defenses, development
16:21
Speaker 6: of unrealistic programs to cure every ill in agriculture, a
16:25
Speaker 6: dramatic expansion and basic and applied research. These and many
16:30
Speaker 6: other possibilities, each possibly promising itself, may be suggested as
16:36
Speaker 6: the only way to the road we wish to travel.
16:40
Speaker 2: And he's talking about this Manhattan Project metaphor that gets
16:45
Speaker 2: wheeled out every time we have a problem. And I'm
16:48
Speaker 2: going to segue to Tony take the shot, leave the
16:50
Speaker 2: Cannoli's Faunci and d and I Gabbard's parting shots, her
16:56
Speaker 2: farewell address from the Office of National Intelligence, as she
17:03
Speaker 2: did her own document release, and a much more interesting
17:06
Speaker 2: document release than anything involving Jeffrey Epstein. I hate to
17:10
Speaker 2: say to you, but his point is we need to
17:18
Speaker 2: do the little things. We need to do the little
17:21
Speaker 2: things every day in order to win the war. And
17:24
Speaker 2: this is the guy, This is one of the two
17:27
Speaker 2: greatest generals when it comes to human liberty in the
17:33
Speaker 2: history of mankind. Both of them wound up being president
17:38
Speaker 2: of the United States. What does that tell you that
17:42
Speaker 2: we're blessed? Yeah, no kidding. But we as a society,
17:48
Speaker 2: as a shining city on the Hill, are the reason
17:53
Speaker 2: more people live in some semblance of liberty, even in
17:57
Speaker 2: the Arab world, than ever have. And we can't stop
18:02
Speaker 2: now we're winning. They just don't want to admit it
18:06
Speaker 2: to you. On mass media, Clark's on the line with
18:10
Speaker 2: us at four three four eight eight two four two
18:13
Speaker 2: one seven. My point being that we do need to
18:15
Speaker 2: have stockpiles. DuPont was not wrong when he said to Jefferson, Hey,
18:21
Speaker 2: you probably should have a stockpile of black powder for
18:26
Speaker 2: your navy that you're building and for the militia, should
18:28
Speaker 2: you call it up. It is not wrong in that.
18:31
Speaker 2: Was it the wrong way to do it? I don't know.
18:34
Speaker 2: It seemed to be the simplest way is to just
18:38
Speaker 2: say to them, you make us all the black powder
18:40
Speaker 2: and we'll buy it from you. But anyway, Clark, you
18:43
Speaker 2: were saying.
18:45
Speaker 4: Well, there's two gaps we definitely don't want to have,
18:48
Speaker 4: and that's a stockpile gap or a mind chaff gap.
18:51
Speaker 4: So there's that, and if you get it, you get it.
18:54
Speaker 3: And if you don't. You ought to pay more attentions.
18:57
Speaker 4: So anyway, yesterday was June the.
19:01
Speaker 2: Teenth, juneteenth, yes, sir, yes.
19:04
Speaker 4: Now, I guess that makes today June.
19:08
Speaker 2: If okay, Junith, I mean twenty iated somebody named Junith once.
19:14
Speaker 4: But okay, okay, all right, now, Look, I don't know
19:18
Speaker 4: why they picked June tenth rather than December the sixth,
19:22
Speaker 4: when the thirteenth the Moendment was ratified. But that's what
19:25
Speaker 4: they picked, okay.
19:26
Speaker 2: It's when the news got to them in Texas. That's
19:29
Speaker 2: that's the point of June nineteenth.
19:33
Speaker 4: Two hundred and fifty slaves were freed in Texas as
19:36
Speaker 4: a result of that. Hang on to that number. How
19:38
Speaker 4: many children did Joe Biden lose? Oh gosh, three one
19:43
Speaker 4: hundred thousand. That's fifty thousand more than what we're freed
19:49
Speaker 4: on June tenth. Okay, and that's just children. I did
19:52
Speaker 4: a little bit of reading on this, Joe. Now, I
19:55
Speaker 4: twenty comes smack through the middle of Alabama. Y'all ain't
19:59
Speaker 4: got I twenty, but you got ninety five. And I'll
20:01
Speaker 4: figure it's about sixty seventy miles from where you are
20:04
Speaker 4: right now. You know what the two biggest corridors human
20:08
Speaker 4: trafficking in the United States are.
20:09
Speaker 2: I'll give you a guess, said I twenty and I
20:12
Speaker 2: ninety five. There you go.
20:14
Speaker 4: You know how many people are trafficked in the United
20:17
Speaker 4: States every single year? Right now? One point seven million
20:24
Speaker 4: people annually are trafficked for either forced labor or prostitution.
20:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, and by the way, I'm I'm glad you said
20:37
Speaker 2: that at the end, because I think you know, the
20:38
Speaker 2: phrase human trafficking has become used so frequently that it
20:42
Speaker 2: doesn't carry the impact of what is going on here.
20:46
Speaker 2: These are people who are imprisoned. These are people who
20:49
Speaker 2: are being held against their will, imprisoned by criminals, and
20:56
Speaker 2: in many cases being held in inhumane conditions in order
21:00
Speaker 2: to condition them to follow the orders of their captors,
21:05
Speaker 2: in order to avoid the pain and suffering that they've
21:08
Speaker 2: been put under. The idea of human trafficking he needs
21:12
Speaker 2: to have a much bigger gut punch to us than
21:15
Speaker 2: I think it is these days.
21:17
Speaker 4: Let me take you where I want to go, right
21:19
Speaker 4: down on your note pad in front of you, what
21:21
Speaker 4: you think the criteria for slavery are and tell me
21:23
Speaker 4: which box I don't check sold to someone else, transported
21:27
Speaker 4: against your will, held in captivity, forced to do things
21:32
Speaker 4: you don't want to do, or you will be beaten.
21:36
Speaker 4: What did I miss? What do you got on your
21:38
Speaker 4: list that I didn't check off? Human trafficking is slavery, yes, sir. Now,
21:44
Speaker 4: I can only come up with two reasons why we
21:46
Speaker 4: won't call it slavery. One, If we call it slavery now,
21:50
Speaker 4: it diminishes from the slavery that was, and it becomes
21:53
Speaker 4: less of a political football.
21:55
Speaker 2: Two and see how that comes.
21:58
Speaker 4: Let's get to two in just a minute. Joe, fifteen point,
22:02
Speaker 4: I don't know. I think four billion dollars has made
22:05
Speaker 4: a year off the forced labor, nine points something billion
22:10
Speaker 4: off of the prostitution. That's twenty four point something billion
22:15
Speaker 4: dollars a year off of slavery that exists right now.
22:20
Speaker 4: And as far as I can tell, very little is
22:22
Speaker 4: being done to curtail this. Joe, you have to ask
22:25
Speaker 4: yourself why why is very little being.
22:28
Speaker 2: Done to curtail this?
22:29
Speaker 4: Well, okay, they're the wrong color brown. I don't think
22:34
Speaker 4: that's it. The sex workers are female, and we don't
22:38
Speaker 4: care about females.
22:40
Speaker 3: I don't think that's it.
22:42
Speaker 4: There's enough profit in it to a pay off the right.
22:47
Speaker 2: Political figures or b.
22:50
Speaker 4: We ain't even talking about political figures getting paid off.
22:53
Speaker 4: They're involved. And now I got up, bit Joe. It's
22:57
Speaker 4: like that time when you've got a really solid line
22:59
Speaker 4: drive to right field. Should have been a good single,
23:02
Speaker 4: but it got by the right fielder and unded up
23:04
Speaker 4: on third and the blood was rushing through your ears
23:07
Speaker 4: and the coach was talking to you, which couldn't really
23:09
Speaker 4: understand what you was saying because the mod was rushing
23:11
Speaker 4: to your ears. I heard that news story, but it
23:14
Speaker 4: was during the lift. I think I heard Harrisburg and
23:18
Speaker 4: a city councilwoman prostitution ring.
23:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, Harrisonburg, Harrisonburg, Virginia City councilwoman big bust at her
23:26
Speaker 2: home as we head into the bottom of the hour news.
23:31
Speaker 7: In a study, it was found that thirty three percent
23:34
Speaker 7: of forty four herbal supplements had no trace of the
23:37
Speaker 7: advertised herb. Don't let that happen to you, Hi, this

24:18
Speaker 2: Town on the streams, and not to see the storm
24:25
Speaker 2: and pound celebrating Pride Month all month long, and sometimes
24:34
Speaker 2: even in format. Doctor Clark, when we headed to the news,
24:38
Speaker 2: was ramping up into a subject that is near and
24:41
Speaker 2: dear to my heart.
24:42
Speaker 6: It is this.
24:44
Speaker 2: It's not a new civil war. I know they keep
24:46
Speaker 2: talking about Republicans versus Democrats and it's a new civil war,
24:50
Speaker 2: and Maga versus Marxist or whatever your battle lines. It's
24:56
Speaker 2: not a new civil war. It's the same one we
25:01
Speaker 2: thought we ended in Appomatos, Virginia one hundred and fifty
25:06
Speaker 2: years ago. But the embers were still there, and it
25:09
Speaker 2: just took a good stiff wind, and we finally have
25:12
Speaker 2: started to blow hard enough and we've reignited this stiff wind.
25:17
Speaker 2: We're just using a different population as the permanent underclass.
25:21
Speaker 2: I don't believe me. Listen to to take Jake Fry,
25:25
Speaker 2: Minneapolis mayor talking about how the battle against Ice is
25:30
Speaker 2: a battle to protect our aboilas and our bus boys.
25:34
Speaker 2: Oh my god, thank god. Some of these Democrats speak impromptu,
25:42
Speaker 2: because there ain't no political operative that would have allowed
25:46
Speaker 2: I don't care how nice his Jerry curl is. No
25:50
Speaker 2: mayor of any place should be allowed to say stuff
25:53
Speaker 2: like that if his political handlers had their way. Oh
25:57
Speaker 2: but bless them when they speak extemporaneous and they just
26:01
Speaker 2: let loose on what they actually believe. And so, yeah,
26:06
Speaker 2: human trafficking is slavery, doctor Clark.
26:08
Speaker 4: Are politicians profiting from this? And then you got to
26:12
Speaker 4: ask yourself, Joe, if northern politicians had profited as much
26:18
Speaker 4: from the slavery that was, would we have ever gotten
26:22
Speaker 4: thirteenth Amendment or would we still have the same thing
26:24
Speaker 4: going on if they'd have been able to make as
26:27
Speaker 4: much money as the politicians in the south, well, some
26:30
Speaker 4: of them were.
26:30
Speaker 2: I mean, it becomes the big problem is that the
26:33
Speaker 2: Republican Party was launched in the north in Wisconsin, notably
26:39
Speaker 2: because the northern plains was not down with the northern industry.
26:44
Speaker 2: The northern industrial states like New York were quietly saying,
26:50
Speaker 2: you know, slavery wouldn't be such a bad idea because
26:54
Speaker 2: they were already struggling to make ends meet and keep
26:58
Speaker 2: their pockets lined with their money to manufacture things. They
27:02
Speaker 2: didn't see the work of the factory workers to be
27:08
Speaker 2: as valuable as the factory workers were asking for it
27:10
Speaker 2: to be. So they were thinking, you know, maybe a
27:12
Speaker 2: little slavery wouldn't be so bad for our business. So
27:15
Speaker 2: the Republican Party was born in this land of lawlessness,
27:21
Speaker 2: where the idea of slavery had made its way back
27:25
Speaker 2: into the northern conversations. The Southern States weren't about to
27:30
Speaker 2: give it up, and all of a sudden, it was
27:32
Speaker 2: just this bunch of Midwesterners who said this is wrong,
27:37
Speaker 2: this is just. And these were pioneers, families usually second
27:41
Speaker 2: maybe third generation of people who came out to the
27:44
Speaker 2: middle of nowhere and built something. Maybe they found a
27:47
Speaker 2: little area to make a little seaport in Great Lakes,
27:50
Speaker 2: that kind of thing. But these people were out there
27:53
Speaker 2: in harsh conditions, really hot summers, really brutal winters, making
27:57
Speaker 2: it on their own. And they didn't believe in slay
28:00
Speaker 2: because you know why, it was all hands on deck
28:03
Speaker 2: out there. So there are some real sociological and economic
28:06
Speaker 2: reasons the Republican Party was born. I say it that
28:09
Speaker 2: way because it's offensive to me that the Party of
28:13
Speaker 2: Lincoln and of fighting slavery are the ones who can't
28:17
Speaker 2: can't even get the guts to bring a vote on
28:19
Speaker 2: the Save America Act to protect us and to try
28:22
Speaker 2: to strike a blow against the new slavery, which I
28:25
Speaker 2: think is what you're talking about here, this human trafficking,
28:28
Speaker 2: this Brago Garcia stuff, where it's like, oh, well, you know,
28:32
Speaker 2: he was just delivering workers to a work site. That's
28:36
Speaker 2: all he was doing. Because we're playing games with words,
28:39
Speaker 2: we don't want to admit that maybe there's a portion
28:42
Speaker 2: of America's government that thinks we're paying our workforce too much.
28:46
Speaker 2: Maybe there's a portion of our government that doesn't want
28:50
Speaker 2: to address it because they've got businesses that have paid
28:54
Speaker 2: their campaign contributions and don't want to be forced to
28:59
Speaker 2: pay their work force.
29:00
Speaker 4: More over the table, what did that Shakespeare guys say
29:05
Speaker 4: about a rose, Joe.
29:08
Speaker 2: Rose by any of their name, smells as sweet. Yeah, slavery,
29:13
Speaker 2: I don't care what you call it. Slavery.
29:15
Speaker 3: And this.
29:17
Speaker 2: And this battle, this this battle we're heading to is
29:20
Speaker 2: not a new civil war. It's the same one we
29:23
Speaker 2: had in the eighteen sixties. And the battle is over
29:29
Speaker 2: the same thing.
