0:01
Speaker 1: Quick, making mornings great again. First thing today on the
0:06
Speaker 1: Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas, Jewort.
0:10
Speaker 2: Said, steal metem.
0:12
Speaker 3: You have a day least for work.
0:15
Speaker 1: When the sun comes up, drops a pet.
0:17
Speaker 4: Of this scook none.
0:20
Speaker 5: Joe has everything a dream do all the treasure needs.
0:25
Speaker 6: No wonder. Joe's as smile, he only eggs.
0:32
Speaker 7: Joe, thank you for letting us be of service to
0:34
Speaker 7: you this morning.
0:36
Speaker 6: I want to be.
0:38
Speaker 7: On the radio program the first and foremost. Isn't afraid
0:40
Speaker 7: of calling ourselves a radio program. I know content creators
0:45
Speaker 7: and all the other things, but we are a radio
0:48
Speaker 7: program for you. As you bask in the amplitude and
0:50
Speaker 7: frequency modulation goodness, we will give you a list of
0:54
Speaker 7: the things that went on last night and then ask
0:57
Speaker 7: you how they're impacting you where you are. Matt on
1:00
Speaker 7: the line with us, and he was earlier. We were
1:02
Speaker 7: talking about these size of and I know size does
1:06
Speaker 7: matter sometimes in terms of congressional districts, but representation. Now
1:11
Speaker 7: that the Supreme Court has pulled the plug on these
1:15
Speaker 7: majority minority districts from the Voting Rights Act, it's become
1:20
Speaker 7: a bum rush of people running to the idea of
1:24
Speaker 7: redistricting their states for this. At some point the case
1:30
Speaker 7: has to be made that this is exactly what the
1:33
Speaker 7: nineteen twenty nine Permanent Reapportionment Act would do, right, Matt.
1:39
Speaker 8: Well, I mean, we are dealing with people who have
1:43
Speaker 8: an inflated view of themselves. True, they think that because
1:49
Speaker 8: they are a member of Congress, they are somebody. And
1:56
Speaker 8: again it's like the old bumper sticker. You know what
1:59
Speaker 8: your other trust a millionaire who became a politician, or
2:03
Speaker 8: a politician who became a millionaire.
2:05
Speaker 7: Uh, the former. But that's okay.
2:08
Speaker 8: I remember when when Shelley Silver in the New York
2:13
Speaker 8: Legislature in Albany was arrested by the FBI. A friend
2:19
Speaker 8: of mine here who knew I was in New Yorker
2:21
Speaker 8: in exile, said, oh, I see, they're starting to clean
2:25
Speaker 8: up the legislature. And I had to laugh, and I
2:29
Speaker 8: pointed out to him that the only reason that Shelley
2:32
Speaker 8: Silver was getting arrested was that he had been at
2:35
Speaker 8: the troth too long.
2:38
Speaker 7: Somebody else wanted their turn.
2:40
Speaker 8: Somebody else. Yeah, they were trying to elbow him out
2:43
Speaker 8: of the way. And this is this is how it
2:46
Speaker 8: works in entrenched places like Albany. Well, this is what
2:51
Speaker 8: he is concerned about cleaning it.
2:53
Speaker 7: Up, right, they're they're cleaning out of space for themselves
2:57
Speaker 7: or a friend of theirs, somebody who's done them a favor.
3:00
Speaker 7: This is part and parcel of it, because I believe
3:03
Speaker 7: if you have thirteen hundred people per se, let's just
3:06
Speaker 7: take the argument of the current size versus where we
3:10
Speaker 7: were in nineteen thirty, that becomes harder to metastasize. You've
3:16
Speaker 7: got one hundred and you know, thirteen hundred people and
3:20
Speaker 7: only so much trough and you actually have the ability
3:24
Speaker 7: to build a coalition against the trough. Maybe that's the party,
3:28
Speaker 7: you know, we should have no more trough party.
3:32
Speaker 8: Well, I mean it's it's like when you see these
3:37
Speaker 8: candidates for president. I preached for years that if somebody
3:43
Speaker 8: is absolutely desperate to be president, if they've got that
3:48
Speaker 8: fire in their belly to do this job, they shouldn't
3:53
Speaker 8: be let anywhere near it.
3:55
Speaker 7: That's right. That's the first disqualification. Good stuff, my friend.
3:59
Speaker 8: And with the with the people that are going to
4:02
Speaker 8: the legislature, as you and I have discussed in the past,
4:08
Speaker 8: it should be the shop owner or the mechanic who
4:13
Speaker 8: who was saying, oh god, okay, Okay, I'll go. I'll
4:18
Speaker 8: go for two months and that's it. And then and
4:21
Speaker 8: then I'm coming back here because I got the garage right. Well.
4:24
Speaker 7: I have suggested, sometimes wistfully, that you know, we should
4:28
Speaker 7: treat congressional representation like we treat jury duty. You know,
4:34
Speaker 7: you get the letter in the mail. Oh no, honey,
4:37
Speaker 7: I've been called for congressional duty. I wonder if I
4:41
Speaker 7: can get out of it. No, honey, you got out
4:42
Speaker 7: of it last year. You're not going They're not gonna
4:44
Speaker 7: let you get out of it this year.
4:47
Speaker 8: And this is this is what I mean by not
4:49
Speaker 8: making it permanent, not making it full time.
4:55
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, no, without questioning.
4:58
Speaker 8: You brought up the Vermont legislator. They meet for a
5:03
Speaker 8: specified amount of time in the beginning of the year
5:06
Speaker 8: to set things up. And that's it. And these people
5:10
Speaker 8: are I mean. One of my proudest moments of being
5:14
Speaker 8: working in Vermont was and Charlie Palmer got up in
5:17
Speaker 8: the well of the House and the budget was running late,
5:21
Speaker 8: and he got up in the well of the House
5:23
Speaker 8: and he said, we have to have this budget passed
5:26
Speaker 8: by March twenty fourth, because I've got four hundred acres
5:30
Speaker 8: of corn to get in and I plan to be
5:33
Speaker 8: doing good stuff.
5:34
Speaker 7: Matt. I've got to speak of getting it in. I've
5:37
Speaker 7: got to get our first things into the radio so
5:40
Speaker 7: people know what we're talking about. But you have a
5:42
Speaker 7: great morning, the speaker. The erstwhile Speaker of the House,
5:47
Speaker 7: Hakeem Draffre's House Minority leader, said that if Republicans continue
5:52
Speaker 7: to redraw congressional maps after the Supreme Court narrowed the
5:55
Speaker 7: Voting Rights Act regulations, Democrats will follow sue. Republicans said, Okay,
6:02
Speaker 7: see where you are. Supreme Court's Voting Rights a ruling
6:05
Speaker 7: could put seven House districts in play, according to the
6:09
Speaker 7: Cook Political Report and the Virginia University of Virginia Center
6:14
Speaker 7: for Politics, two of them in Louisiana, two in Alabama,
6:19
Speaker 7: one in Mississippi, one in Tennessee, and one in South Carolina.
6:23
Speaker 7: Kyle Condick of the University of Virginia Center for Politics,
6:27
Speaker 7: it certainly appears possible, even likely, that these Republican states
6:31
Speaker 7: will be able to draw out all or some of
6:33
Speaker 7: their Democrat held seats. If not in twenty twenty six,
6:37
Speaker 7: then in twenty twenty eight. A new BAP by the
6:42
Speaker 7: GOP legislator is almost certain to result in at least
6:45
Speaker 7: one political pickup, said Amy Walter for the Cook Political Report.
6:51
Speaker 7: And those are just some of the first things. Pete Hegsith,
6:55
Speaker 7: testifying before Congress, says, the ceasefire stops the sixty day
7:00
Speaker 7: war powers.
7:01
Speaker 9: Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
7:04
Speaker 9: people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
7:07
Speaker 9: to look into. And that's meta share. Maybe you've heard
7:10
Speaker 9: joining metas share can save you or your family up
7:13
Speaker 9: to five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge, But.
7:16
Speaker 7: It's also true.
7:16
Speaker 9: People are just happier with it. They love being part
7:19
Speaker 9: of something that reflects and promotes their.
7:21
Speaker 10: Values and what they believe in.
7:23
Speaker 9: Meta share works too. It's been around for thirty years
7:26
Speaker 9: now and members have shared more than seven billion dollars
7:30
Speaker 9: of each other's bills. People love having telehealth and a
7:33
Speaker 9: huge nationwide ppo networks. So yeah, really, you can save
7:36
Speaker 9: a ton and like it better. Imagine being happy with
7:39
Speaker 9: how you're taking care of your health care, whether you're
7:41
Speaker 9: self employed or part of the gig economy, or you
7:43
Speaker 9: just want to plan that you're happy with.

7:56
Speaker 10: share forty eight five five share.
7:59
Speaker 12: Forty Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
8:08
Speaker 12: actually three known gases. I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric oxide
8:14
Speaker 12: is a gas that's readily made all day long to
8:18
Speaker 12: keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
8:23
Speaker 12: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
8:28
Speaker 12: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
8:32
Speaker 12: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
8:36
Speaker 12: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
8:39
Speaker 12: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
8:42
Speaker 12: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate nitric Oxide,
8:47

Speaker 7: The FBI a QM production. And where is Quinn Martin
13:31
Speaker 7: when we need him? Or from Zimbalist Junior who would
13:35
Speaker 7: probably be called to testify in some way shape or form.
13:38
Speaker 7: Uh four three four eight A two four two one seven.
13:41
Speaker 7: I'm sorry if I break with formation here. I do
13:46
Speaker 7: not believe a photograph showing the numbers eighty six and
13:50
Speaker 7: forty seven rises to the level of threaten. Here's why
13:54
Speaker 7: I say this. Yes, I understand he used to be
13:56
Speaker 7: the head of the FBI. UH, and we're talking about
14:00
Speaker 7: the James Comy indictment. But if we allow and understand
14:06
Speaker 7: the premise that will be the precedent that will be
14:10
Speaker 7: set if this happens, what else will then a political
14:15
Speaker 7: threat be We already railed at the idea that parents
14:20
Speaker 7: at school board meetings were investigated by Merrit Garland because
14:27
Speaker 7: they threatened quote unquote sitting school board members. The threat
14:33
Speaker 7: against the city school board members were that they were
14:36
Speaker 7: going to either a try a recall campaign, try to
14:39
Speaker 7: get a recall petition out there to help to have
14:43
Speaker 7: them lose their job or run against them in the
14:47
Speaker 7: next reelection, which was going to cost them their job.
14:50
Speaker 7: Is either one of those a threat because in a democracy,
14:54
Speaker 7: which I'm told Hakeem Jeffries and all these other folks
14:57
Speaker 7: genuinefle liked in the view shed of in a democracy,
15:01
Speaker 7: saying I'm going to run against you is pretty well
15:04
Speaker 7: protected speech. You tell me. I know we want to
15:07
Speaker 7: get this guy, but I want to get him for
15:09
Speaker 7: other things that our actual abuses of his office. Uh there,
15:14
Speaker 7: not just because he posted a picture that said eighty
15:17
Speaker 7: six forty seven on his Instagram feed. We've got a
15:20
Speaker 7: bunch of folks on the line with thoughts on them
15:23
Speaker 7: on this and other matters, including the redistricting stuff. I
15:27
Speaker 7: have four three four eight eight two four to two
15:30
Speaker 7: one seven. Me me tell line two we got him, and
15:33
Speaker 7: to hang in there. Good morning, who's this?
15:36
Speaker 17: Good morning, Joe, Happy anniversary to you and Elaine.
15:38
Speaker 7: Oh thank you, Joel. Can you hang on for a second. Sure, okay,
15:43
Speaker 7: because we've got line one here. Let me open this
15:45
Speaker 7: package and see see what gifts were left on the
15:48
Speaker 7: bride and groom's table.
15:49
Speaker 3: There.
15:50
Speaker 7: Oh it's another envelope. Oh look, aunt, Aunt Agnes and
15:53
Speaker 7: Uncle Tony left us cash Good morning, You're nt the
15:56
Speaker 7: air with Joe. Who's this?
15:58
Speaker 5: Hey, Joe Clark.
16:00
Speaker 18: So what you're saying is you don't think a reasonable
16:05
Speaker 18: prosecutor would have indicted Comy for his beach threats and
16:10
Speaker 18: calls to kill the president.
16:12
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I also don't want to set the precedent
16:15
Speaker 7: that things like that can be seen as oh, I
16:19
Speaker 7: don't know, hate speech or anything else.
16:22
Speaker 18: Say long since set the precedents?
16:25
Speaker 7: Come on, Well, I'm just saying, why do why cement it? Then?
16:31
Speaker 18: I don't know as far as I'm concerned when it
16:33
Speaker 18: comes to Comy, any indictments a good indictment, and you know,
16:38
Speaker 18: I think there's a couple things there. One it might
16:43
Speaker 18: be a message that maybe you would have quit colin
16:45
Speaker 18: Donald Trump nazi and calling for wack of doodles to
16:48
Speaker 18: try and kill him.
16:49
Speaker 7: Now, that's something we should talk about because you know,
16:52
Speaker 7: you you listen to these people, and you know we
16:55
Speaker 7: talk about no King's protests and all the other stuff.
16:58
Speaker 7: These are the people who, you know, if they have
17:02
Speaker 7: a less than sturdy grip on their last good marble
17:05
Speaker 7: wind up bum rushing a dais with the president hating.
17:10
Speaker 18: Yes, And now now that you brought up the bomb rushing,
17:15
Speaker 18: you know, Joe, I read a thing yesterday about how
17:21
Speaker 18: the people in rural Virginia really have no record and
17:25
Speaker 18: there's nothing they can do. Joe, do you remember the
17:28
Speaker 18: Fantastic Four from when we were kids?
17:31
Speaker 8: Sure?
17:31
Speaker 7: Absolutely. I just watched a Deadpool and Wolverine, so I
17:35
Speaker 7: you know, I remember? You know, Johnny fire, ain't you
17:38
Speaker 7: hang on.
17:39
Speaker 18: To the Fantastic Four for just a minute? So what
17:43
Speaker 18: you had was Abigail and the overreachers trying to do
17:49
Speaker 18: the most egregious redistricting so far. And whereas maybe the
17:55
Speaker 18: people in Virginia you don't have a record, I'm not
17:58
Speaker 18: entirely down with that.
17:59
Speaker 7: No, they they have recourse.
18:01
Speaker 18: They do stepped up the Supreme Six and the rest
18:06
Speaker 18: of the Southern States, and we got your back, baby,
18:10
Speaker 18: because the backlash is coming. I won't personally think Abigail, Louise,
18:17
Speaker 18: Jay and the rest of the carpetbaggers for taking it
18:22
Speaker 18: a step too far and finally causing the backlash. What
18:29
Speaker 18: how many years have they cost the left Congress? Now, Joe,
18:33
Speaker 18: how long is this going to be before they count
18:37
Speaker 18: on a majority again?
18:40
Speaker 7: Thank you so much, well, thank you. Well. You know,
18:43
Speaker 7: this is what happens when you have people who are
18:46
Speaker 7: you know, arrogance is a sin. It's one of our
18:48
Speaker 7: seven vices, and you know you get out over your
18:52
Speaker 7: skis too far. I think they're still counting on quote democracy,
18:56
Speaker 7: and that being, of course, fifty one percent of the
19:00
Speaker 7: fifty percent that turn out to vote. I'm more of
19:04
Speaker 7: the mind that all these behaviors up until the Supreme
19:08
Speaker 7: Court and they see I take a different view. I
19:10
Speaker 7: think the Supreme Court ruling about Louisiana is going to
19:16
Speaker 7: fire up all the folks who are looking for their
19:19
Speaker 7: own Selma Bridge moment to say this is and see,
19:26
Speaker 7: I may see things differently than you do. This is
19:29
Speaker 7: their moment to say, see, the Republicans are trying to
19:33
Speaker 7: get rid of the black vote because that we allowed
19:37
Speaker 7: the Voting Rights Act to be written in such a
19:40
Speaker 7: bad pandering way in the sixties. It has left us
19:45
Speaker 7: no recourse. This is the brilliance of the left. So
19:47
Speaker 7: they write an amendment to the Constitution that says you
19:51
Speaker 7: have to have majority minority districts rather than getting rid
19:55
Speaker 7: of the Permanent Reapportionment Act, because that would have cost
19:59
Speaker 7: them person money, so they write a constitutional amendment. There
20:04
Speaker 7: is so bad that the idea of getting rid of
20:08
Speaker 7: it is anethem at any jurist because it will be
20:12
Speaker 7: interpreted as saying we don't want black people to have
20:16
Speaker 7: a vote, or a say this is going to backfire
20:20
Speaker 7: on people. I think there's a real real chance that
20:24
Speaker 7: all these civil rights do gooders that have been keeping
20:27
Speaker 7: the black population in poverty since the sixties are going
20:31
Speaker 7: to use this. You tell me your thought on this.
20:35
Speaker 7: I don't want to be a nattering nabob of negativism,
20:38
Speaker 7: but I don't see this so rosy. This Supreme Court
20:41
Speaker 7: ruling could blow up in a lot of people's faces
20:44
Speaker 7: come elections. Am I wrong?
20:48
Speaker 18: The only black votes Democrats want to be counted are
20:53
Speaker 18: Democrat votes.
20:55
Speaker 7: I understand that. You and I get that. But right
20:58
Speaker 7: now what they'll do is they're probably already printing the
21:01
Speaker 7: mailers saying that the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress
21:06
Speaker 7: have systematically marginalized the black vote.
21:11
Speaker 18: So was it like blackwater fountains, whitewater fountains are what
21:16
Speaker 18: was it colored water fountains? White water fountains?
21:19
Speaker 7: Was that right, Joe? No, No, it wasn't right.
21:23
Speaker 18: Okay, was like white only lunch counters?
21:27
Speaker 1: Right?
21:27
Speaker 18: No, So do we want white voting districts and black
21:32
Speaker 18: voting districts? Is that where we are?
21:34
Speaker 7: Is that what we want? I'm telling you, Unless you're
21:37
Speaker 7: going to start writing speeches for every single congressional candidate
21:40
Speaker 7: for the midterms, you're the only one. And you and
21:43
Speaker 7: me were the only ones saying this, And I don't
21:46
Speaker 7: trust the speech writers of most of the Republicans out
21:50
Speaker 7: there to be able to grasp this. So you need
21:53
Speaker 7: to start sending that as draft copies of speech templates
21:57
Speaker 7: to every Republican running for reelection this year.
22:01

29:04
Speaker 7: of gold and silver. When last we spoke and they
29:07
Speaker 7: were trying to bounce back a little bit yesterday, James,
29:10
Speaker 7: Good morning, sir, Happy Friday. How are you doing today?
29:13
Speaker 3: I'm doing all right, Joe.
29:15
Speaker 24: I think golden silver got a little too ahead of
29:17
Speaker 24: themselves on Thursday, I thinking it was the weekend because
29:20
Speaker 24: they got a little bit.
29:21
Speaker 3: Of a headache.
29:22
Speaker 24: This morning, gold is down one percent, down fifty dollars,
29:25
Speaker 24: not giving up all the games from yesterday, but most
29:29
Speaker 24: of them. It's Gold's currently at four thy five hundred
29:32
Speaker 24: and seventy dollars. Silver is just down about a half percent,
29:36
Speaker 24: down forty five cents to seventy three dollars and twenty
29:39
Speaker 24: eight cents. So both metals still, you know, holding strong
29:42
Speaker 24: right in that comfortable area that we've been talking about
29:45
Speaker 24: for you know, a month or two now, that golden
29:48
Speaker 24: silver really seemed to have found themselves in this really
29:51
Speaker 24: comfortable channel here at these levels which which is you know,
29:55
Speaker 24: the stability of gold and silver over the long run.
29:58
Speaker 7: Amen. This the whole point of gold and silver investing
30:01
Speaker 7: is it's not going to boil away. It's not going
30:04
Speaker 7: to You're gonna wake up one morning and find out
30:06
Speaker 7: the Department of Justice has has you know, rated the
30:09
Speaker 7: home of the founder of gold. It's I don't know,
30:15
Speaker 7: the kid with the weird hair. He cooked the bulx
30:18
Speaker 7: or something. Now gold is gold and it has been forever,
30:21
Speaker 7: and so get you some of that and make it
30:24
Speaker 7: a part of your portfolio because it's never been down
30:28
Speaker 7: to nothing. And more over than that, your results can vary.
30:34

30:36
Speaker 7: how you invest in gold? You may have You may

31:12
Speaker 7: Friday morning to you there. How is the morning coming
31:15
Speaker 7: across Arizona's hills?
31:19
Speaker 8: Good?
31:19
Speaker 17: Good, It's still it's still perk here versus you know
31:23
Speaker 17: the old Seinfeld thing three hour difference.
31:25
Speaker 7: You know, well, you know, sunlight, sunlight is is a
31:29
Speaker 7: great disinfectant, but that doesn't change the fact that it's
31:33
Speaker 7: o dark thirty in many many places there. So what's
31:36
Speaker 7: on your mind this morning?
31:38
Speaker 17: Well, I just wanted to say this. Yeah, people people
31:43
Speaker 17: always want to transform themselves. They go, I'm gonna go
31:47
Speaker 17: on a diet, I'm gonna do better, I'm gonna because
31:49
Speaker 17: we're all we're all fallible, we all have that, we
31:53
Speaker 17: all have that that mark, that thing that that Jesus said,
31:57
Speaker 17: you know, and baptism and water and getting ourselves clean.
32:00
Speaker 17: But the Democrats in particular, have have tried to erase history.
32:06
Speaker 17: They've tried to take that, They've taken down statues, they've
32:10
Speaker 17: tried to, you know, put their own words into documents
32:15
Speaker 17: in different states, and especially in Virginia and different areas
32:19
Speaker 17: where there's historical sites and create made it more of
32:22
Speaker 17: a you KNOWVEI kind of situation, and the situation and
32:28
Speaker 17: you're talking about bringing sunlight, Well, bringing sunlight also is
32:32
Speaker 17: bringing is also exposing things like the Jerry Mandarin and
32:36
Speaker 17: and how inefficient both sides of this coin of of
32:41
Speaker 17: Congress and the Senate are just doing it for themselves
32:44
Speaker 17: rather than representatation and people. So all those points you're
32:47
Speaker 17: hitting on, I believe, and I'm sure other listeners that
32:52
Speaker 17: are going to say the same thing.
32:54
Speaker 7: But well, it's an unusual thing. And I'm going to
32:57
Speaker 7: tap into the history of your state now you're new
33:00
Speaker 7: home state. Barry Goldwater. Barry Goldwater was the entirety of conservatism.
33:10
Speaker 7: He was the embodiment of conservatism, so conservative. He's the
33:14
Speaker 7: one that converted Ronald Reagan from being a Democrat to
33:19
Speaker 7: being a Republican because he realized that this person was
33:24
Speaker 7: the embodiment of all things that Russell Kirk talked about
33:29
Speaker 7: that Edmund Burke really showed the way through. Back in
33:33
Speaker 7: seventeen seventy six when Edmund Burke received our legal filing.
33:38
Speaker 7: He was a member of Parliament from Belfast, Northern Ireland,
33:41
Speaker 7: and he looked at it and said, well, these guys
33:44
Speaker 7: got us dead to rights, this Jefferson guy. I mean,
33:47
Speaker 7: if we went into court, we'd lose, and of course
33:50
Speaker 7: they crumpled it up and threw it away. I think
33:52
Speaker 7: it got I think it received twenty five percent of
33:55
Speaker 7: the vote in Parliament, and so it was resoundedly laughed at.
33:59
Speaker 7: But he started modern Western conservative politics. And if you
34:07
Speaker 7: read Russell Kirk's seminal book The Conservative Mind, it begins
34:11
Speaker 7: with a whole treatise on how though Edmund Burke didn't
34:15
Speaker 7: win at the moment, he kept pushing the conservative principles
34:19
Speaker 7: until eventually Parliament said to King George, I'm sorry, we're
34:23
Speaker 7: not going to keep sending ships and soldiers. They pulled
34:27
Speaker 7: the plug. Cornwallace gets cornered in Yorktown and we're a country.
34:33
Speaker 7: And so the conservative mind is sure, you might not
34:36
Speaker 7: win it first, but don't give up. Now you're fo bearer.
34:43
Speaker 7: Barry Goldwater, by the time he passed away, had almost
34:48
Speaker 7: become a leftist. He made John McCain look like Ronald Reagan.
34:54
Speaker 7: He had moved so far to the left everything that
34:57
Speaker 7: he had abandoned, everything he's stood for in nineteen sixty four.
35:03
Speaker 7: And you know so, yeah, And I can only as
35:07
Speaker 7: I read the history, find that it is as he
35:10
Speaker 7: lived his life after losing to Lyndon Johnson, he decided, well,
35:15
Speaker 7: conservatism isn't a winning formula. You have to you know,
35:20
Speaker 7: the American people want a big centralized state government. They
35:24
Speaker 7: want these things. And you know what he didn't have
35:29
Speaker 7: the intestical fortitude to stand up to was the idea
35:33
Speaker 7: that when he said the American people wanted a big
35:36
Speaker 7: centralized government, he meant fifty one percent of the fifty
35:41
Speaker 7: percent that turned out to vote. And so they were
35:44
Speaker 7: playing political electoral games with him, and eventually he gave up,
35:50
Speaker 7: and conservatism lost a great voice, and the left used
35:55
Speaker 7: his transformation for years as an example of why conservatism
36:02
Speaker 7: is bad public policy.
36:05
Speaker 17: Oh so there again, and I understand everything you said.
36:09
Speaker 17: So there again. It goes down to human strength or weakness.
36:13
Speaker 17: So it's like a rat being put in a core.
36:17
Speaker 17: I'm not calling people raps, but some people act that way.
36:20
Speaker 7: But fighty rat, you Jimmy Cagney, when we need them.
36:27
Speaker 17: It's like being cornered though. I mean, our primitive brain
36:30
Speaker 17: kicks in and you want to get some oxygen. But
36:33
Speaker 17: is it Are you getting oxygen or are you getting
36:36
Speaker 17: something else?
36:37
Speaker 7: Are you getting no the metaphors? Are you getting air?
36:41
Speaker 7: Or are you getting oxygen, because if you're just getting oxygen,
36:44
Speaker 7: you will asphixiate pretty much just a little slower than
36:48
Speaker 7: if you're actually getting air, which is a balancing act
36:51
Speaker 7: of a lot of different noble gases. Just asked the
36:54
Speaker 7: doc when he comes up with his commercial. But you know,
36:57
Speaker 7: but that's the But that's the thing is that I'm
36:59
Speaker 7: wor read that this Supreme Court ruling in Louisiana is
37:03
Speaker 7: going to open a floodgate to campaigners who are you know,
37:08
Speaker 7: as our friend Tom Garrett says, you know, they lie.
37:11
Speaker 7: They lie with such boldness, and conservatives don't have anyone
37:15
Speaker 7: who will debunk those lies with equal boldness, and we
37:19
Speaker 7: need to do that. And I just don't see it
37:21
Speaker 7: in today's political class.
37:24
Speaker 17: But what I love, too, Joe is and I hate
37:27
Speaker 17: to say black or white, but it's true, a lot
37:29
Speaker 17: of the black voters are going, Hey, for all these
37:32
Speaker 17: years you've been saying we can't do this because we're black,
37:36
Speaker 17: because you feel we're uneducated, because we're black, we can't
37:39
Speaker 17: own homes because we're black. I mean, all that stuff
37:42
Speaker 17: has been tossed down and and and a lot, I mean,
37:45
Speaker 17: there's still a group of young people that have been
37:47

41:01
Speaker 27: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
41:05
Speaker 27: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,

Speaker 27: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
41:15
Speaker 27: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food

Speaker 27: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
41:21
Speaker 27: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
41:23
Speaker 27: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
41:26
Speaker 27: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets

Speaker 27: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
41:33

Speaker 1: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
44:26
Speaker 6: You you you.
44:53
Speaker 7: So just about a fine point on what we're discussing
44:58
Speaker 7: about this case and now the the fact that we've
45:01
Speaker 7: got a whole bunch of former Southern states trying to
45:05
Speaker 7: redraw their districts. A couple in Alabama, Tennessee Marshall Blackburn
45:10
Speaker 7: calling for it, a couple of course in Louisiana impacted
45:15
Speaker 7: by the Supreme Courts ruling regarding this portion of the
45:20
Speaker 7: Voting Rights Act. And go back to yesterday's program, we
45:22
Speaker 7: talked to one of the great leaders in the black community,
45:26
Speaker 7: former civil rights commissioner from Michigan, who said this was
45:30
Speaker 7: the right ruling, but it doesn't stop there. So now
45:34
Speaker 7: the politics of the legality takeover, and what's going to
45:38
Speaker 7: happen is and the only reason I'm saying this is
45:41
Speaker 7: not because I agree with them, but it's because I
45:45
Speaker 7: am afraid that there are not people of a conservative
45:49
Speaker 7: bent that have the stomach for this argument, which is
45:54
Speaker 7: that if you get rid of the nineteen twenty nine
45:57
Speaker 7: permanent reapportionment, acting to have a lot more majority minority
46:05
Speaker 7: communities congressional districts, because if you go back to a
46:11
Speaker 7: two hundred thousand person congressional district size, and believe me,
46:18
Speaker 7: that's not even what George Mason thought was the best
46:21
Speaker 7: way to protect people's liberty from an out of control
46:25
Speaker 7: centralized government and to keep an out of control centralized
46:29
Speaker 7: government government from even metastasizing is congressional districts of fifty
46:35
Speaker 7: thousand people per district, and you can eive we need
46:39
Speaker 7: to use the Washington Wizard's Home arena for congressional meetings,
46:46
Speaker 7: and that would be fine with me as well. That
46:49
Speaker 7: would be fine with me as well, because more voices
46:54
Speaker 7: mean more liberty, because it will make it harder for
46:59
Speaker 7: the K Street lobbyists to manipulate enough people, then you'd
47:04
Speaker 7: pull the plug on their perversion of the commerce clause,
47:08
Speaker 7: and you really get back to a place where we were.
47:11
Speaker 7: But you win. The Democrats inevitably start campaigning on the
47:16
Speaker 7: fact that the Republican Party has used their majority in
47:24
Speaker 7: the Supreme Court Trump's justices. I can hear the campaigns
47:27
Speaker 7: now have taken away black voices. They're going to call
47:32
Speaker 7: it the most diabolically racist things since Jim Crow. This
47:39
Speaker 7: will be Jim Crow. What are we on three point
47:42
Speaker 7: zero now?
47:44
Speaker 3: Right?
47:49
Speaker 7: I mean, it's bad enough in Virginia or any place
47:52
Speaker 7: where there's early voting merely mentioning the idea of shortening
47:57
Speaker 7: the early voting period, whether it's one week, two weeks,
48:00
Speaker 7: forty five days, anything short of a full month and
48:08
Speaker 7: a half of voting is considered a poll tax. But
48:20
Speaker 7: if we and we have to be ready for this,
48:24
Speaker 7: because it's coming now. The can is open, The lutafisk
48:30
Speaker 7: is smelling up the breakroom at your office. You can't
48:34
Speaker 7: put the tuna back in the microwave. The stink is
48:39
Speaker 7: out there. And I'm not saying the Supreme Court was wrong.
48:43
Speaker 7: I'm afraid that the Republicans are going to get roasted
48:47
Speaker 7: on it because they don't have the intestical fortitude to
48:51
Speaker 7: speak truth to this. Now, maybe President Trump does, but
48:59
Speaker 7: he's person all these midterm elections, all these redistricted districts
49:06
Speaker 7: in Alabama and Mississippi and Tennessee. They're going to have Democrats,
49:12
Speaker 7: probably from Central Casting, female African Americans out there saying
49:19
Speaker 7: that these redistricted maps, this ruling regarding majority minority districts
49:25
Speaker 7: is the worst thing since Jim Crow. They're going to
49:28
Speaker 7: liken it to segregated lunch counters and segregated drinking fountains.
49:34
Speaker 7: Who amongst us has the balls to call them out
49:37
Speaker 7: for the lie that it is because I'm looking around
49:41
Speaker 7: the Republican roster and I'm not seeing that lou Gerrigg
49:46
Speaker 7: sitting on the bench ready to take over from Wally Pip.
49:50
Speaker 7: I'm just not Maybe, you know, maybe Marsha Blackburn can,
49:55
Speaker 7: but they've tagged her for being nutty for so long.
49:58
Speaker 7: She'll say stuff and they're like, ah, that's this nutty
50:00
Speaker 7: Marshall Blackburn. But she's right. She might do it. Ted
50:03
Speaker 7: Cruise might do it. Ted Cruz, God bless him, picked
50:07
Speaker 7: up on an issue too late, of course, because Jimmy
50:11
Speaker 7: Kimmel had to go pee in the Cheerios said the
50:14
Speaker 7: FCC shouldn't be going after ABC simply because their network
50:18
Speaker 7: carries Jimmy Kimmel's late night talk show that nobody watches
50:22
Speaker 7: except for when we martyr him, saying that, you know
50:29
Speaker 7: just what we were talking about yesterday, The FCC shouldn't
50:33
Speaker 7: be doing this. What the FCC should be doing is
50:39
Speaker 7: looking at the people who for the last six years
50:44
Speaker 7: have been calling Donald Trump a pedophile rapist as if
50:49
Speaker 7: it's fact, until this nutcluster from Torrance, California said, I've
50:53
Speaker 7: had those I can stands. I can't stands no more,
50:58
Speaker 7: down his can of spinach and hopped to Amtrak the
51:03
Speaker 7: Joe Biden Special from California to Washington, d C. Even
51:10
Speaker 7: took selfies of himself getting ready to go do the deed,
51:15
Speaker 7: so proud of himself that he was taking a stand
51:18
Speaker 7: against this horrific person. Where is the FCC action against
51:22
Speaker 7: the people that will continue to refer to the president
51:28
Speaker 7: as something patently unprovable but so horrific? Is to drive
51:32
Speaker 7: someone to this You can have an honest conversation and
51:37
Speaker 7: not just be political party right, political party left. And
51:46
Speaker 7: that's the place we are in this morning. We have
51:51
Speaker 7: to be ready to, you know, stand up and say
51:55
Speaker 7: that's not what this is. But there are other things afoot.
51:59
Speaker 7: Just getting Congress back to a pre permanent Reapportionment Act
52:04
Speaker 7: number isn't enough. We have to take away their credit
52:08
Speaker 7: card from the Commerce Clause. We have to take away
52:11
Speaker 7: the keys of these administrative courts that have all come
52:15
Speaker 7: up and come to being after they perverted the Commerce
52:19
Speaker 7: Clause into giving them permission to run everybody's business. You
52:23
Speaker 7: didn't build up. There are simple fixes to stopping all this,
52:31
Speaker 7: but I you know, as George Mason warned in Article five,
52:36
Speaker 7: expecting politicians to take away their own powers a fools
52:39
Speaker 7: errand that's why as we got to break here. Convention
