  Speaker 6: This morning at four three.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Four eight, eight, two seven, we're gonna talk Tennessee redistrict
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: thing with Tom Starns coming up. But Tom drops bombs
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: on YouTube host Tom Garrett. Uh, we're talking about the
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Virginia whatever the at Tony General uh filing with the
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: US Supreme Court, trying to get them to overturn Virginia's
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Supreme Court. And and Tom, I had a question earlier
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: for the audiences. My point is that if if there's
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: the will of the people, it's the argument, why not
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: you just change the law.
• 1:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well, because the timeline didn't suit them, right. I mean,
• 1:15
  Speaker 7: we threw out four laws in Virginia just to get
• 1:17
  Speaker 7: to this point, and those laws aren't coming back unless
• 1:19
  Speaker 7: somebody carries them. I might do it next year just
• 1:22
  Speaker 7: for fun. So I can watch the Democrats kill them.
• 1:26
  Speaker 7: But the laws that we threw out were crazy ideas
• 1:29
  Speaker 7: like party line or or district line shouldn't be drawn
• 1:33
  Speaker 7: to favor one party over another.
• 1:34
  Speaker 8: That was on the books. Gone we threw out.
• 1:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we threw out one that said that, you know,
• 1:40
  Speaker 7: congressional districts should, wherever practicable, represent communities of interest and
• 1:44
  Speaker 7: be geographically compact. Two different laws gone and gone. So
• 1:49
  Speaker 7: those are all gone as a result of this blatant
• 1:52
  Speaker 7: Here's the thing, though, They keep over reaching and then
• 1:56
  Speaker 7: it turns around and bites them in the butt. It's like,
• 1:59
  Speaker 7: it's like I got to give Trump a little credit.
• 2:02
  Speaker 7: It's like the road runner in Wily Coyote, right, I mean,
• 2:05
  Speaker 7: they've always got a great idea from acme and it
• 2:08
  Speaker 7: always falls squarely anvil like on their head.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Have you seen somebody has has superimposed Democrats and Republicans
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: over the famous painted tunnel scene, you know, Wiley Coyote
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: with the word Democrat superimposed over and painting the tunnel
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: roadrunner is the Republican runs right through it and then
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Wiley Coyote slams into it and the roadrunner comes back
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: and runs over him again.
• 2:33
  Speaker 8: So so much more real than you know.
• 2:35
  Speaker 7: Right, who's happy in the Wiley Coyote road Runner cartoons?
• 2:39
  Speaker 8: Which one is happy and which one is rage fueled? Right?
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: And so yeah, So in Virginia we're getting beat down
• 2:47
  Speaker 7: every day in a near super minority.
• 2:50
  Speaker 8: And yet when you watch people who.
• 2:52
  Speaker 7: Are actual conservatives and I don't know, maybe have Christ
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: in their life. That's just my opinion, we're walking around smiling. Right,
• 2:59
  Speaker 7: They can't hurt me. They could kill me. I mean,
• 3:01
  Speaker 7: have at it, because I think the next place I
• 3:03
  Speaker 7: goes better than this one.
• 3:04
  Speaker 8: But I got stuff left to do here. And they're miserable.
• 3:07
  Speaker 7: I mean, they're just miserable, and it's actually kind of sad.
• 3:12
  Speaker 7: But even me pointing this OUs offensive to them.
• 3:15
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 3:15
  Speaker 7: Another original quote, I'm on fire today. Half the world
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: is too busy being offended to be productive. The other
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: half is too busy being productive.
• 3:23
  Speaker 8: To be offended.
• 3:24
  Speaker 7: Right, If you get upset about being misgendered, then you
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: have given someone entirely too much control over your own
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: psyche and well being, et cetera.
• 3:33
  Speaker 8: Right, focus on three things.
• 3:34
  Speaker 7: Those you can control, those you can't control, and those
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: that you can influence but not control, And they can't
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: control is the biggest piece of pizza, right. The next
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: one is influenced, but not control. And what I can
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: control is me most of the time. Praise God and
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: so and so's that's where I live, and it creates
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: this happiness that I think they lack. But ultimately, the
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: States are are children's future.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Into that Tom drops bombs on YouTube. Scott and Virginia
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Beach says Tom needs to move Tom drops bombs onto Rumble,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: So you know, maybe that's for your social media boss
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: to look at. I appreciate it, sir. Get the first
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: things in here so that we know what else we're
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: talking about. Plenty going on. President Trump on his way
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: for some Chinese takeout in Beijing with Chairman she They're
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: going to discuss whether or not the Chinese government can
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: use its leverage to reopen the Strait of horror moves
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: and get the two month bombardment and cease fire of
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Iran battle with the United States and Israel to end. Meanwhile,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: US Supreme Court set the stage for Alabama to eliminate
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: more of these racially divisive congressional districts. Before the midterm elections,
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Alabama officials had gone to the court to have them
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: overturn a a court imposed House Congressional map that had
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: been put in place in twenty twenty two. The High
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Court overturned the lower court's order and ordered them to
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: go back to the map. Meanwhile, as we said, Virginia's
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Democrats are there today saying to the justices that it's
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: not fair. The voice of the people were heard. President
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Trump has nominated Cameron Hamilton to come back and lead
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which he had been fired
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: from for suggesting that dismantling a whole cloth would be
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: a bad idea. Now they are going to reimagine it
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: as a resource management operation. United States Monday issued an
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: alert to financial institutions because the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: in Iran is trying to evade US sanctions by using cryptocurrency.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Department of Interior is canceled a rule that put conservation
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: on equal footing with development. Well the three day ceasefire
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: in between Ukraine and Moscow that was announced on Friday
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: by President Trump just hours before Russia's World War eleven victory.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, it's just for those listening in Minneapolis on
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: kd IZ. Sorry about that, Trump said, he hoped the
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: ceasefire would mark the beginning of the end of the
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: conflict between the two nations. However, it appears that both
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: sides are claiming that the other side has made incursions
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: and bombing runs during the course of the ceasefire, and
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: those are our first things this morning. Todd Starns, former
• 6:48

• 6:53
  Speaker 3: is up next on the Talk Media Network.
• 7:01
  Speaker 9: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 7:05
  Speaker 9: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: It was Medishare that came through for us, and there
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: was no hassles, there was no problem.
• 7:12
  Speaker 9: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
• 7:16
  Speaker 9: of such an incredible ministry.
• 7:17
  Speaker 10: Meta Share is a Biblical approach to healthcare where Christians
• 7:21
  Speaker 10: share each other's medical expenses.
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: Medishare is a family, a group of people that stick
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: with you through the hardest times of your life.
• 7:30
  Speaker 10: Metashare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over thirty years old,
• 7:35
  Speaker 10: and members have shared over eight billion dollars of each
• 7:37
  Speaker 10: other's medical bills.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: you can focus on on supporting other people.

• 8:04
  Speaker 11: Considered by most Optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 11: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 11: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 11: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 11: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:32
  Speaker 11: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:37
  Speaker 11: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 11: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 11: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51
  Speaker 11: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

  Speaker 4: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets

• 13:19
  Speaker 4: Movie Youurial place beyond every Friday of the Hollywood.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: And it brought me down to see her, and they
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: asked me if I.
• 13:32
  Speaker 19: Wiel and I said, with home my mont.
• 13:40
  Speaker 15: She said, tell me are you Christian child? And I said, man,
• 13:45
  Speaker 15: I am.
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: Tonight walk in.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Ill think Steve Cohen is in the relation to Mark Cohene.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: But for the sake of argument, we'll make it work
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: as we welcome in uh the owner of but legend
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: in the news television business, Todd Starn's, owner of the
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: mighty nine to ninety in Memphis and also a partner
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: of ours here on the Talk Media Network. Here in
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: lunchtime across the Eastern Seaboard and Todd, good morning, sir,
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: how are you doing, Joe.
• 14:22
  Speaker 14: What a great honor to be able to hang out
• 14:24
  Speaker 14: with you this morning. You're like the hardest working man
• 14:27
  Speaker 14: in radio. You don't sleep. I don't understand. You're like
• 14:31
  Speaker 14: Donald Trump. I don't know how you guys do it well.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: It's being born in Queens and having unusual haircuts. I
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: think that's our connection there. And so if you're trying
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: to don't try this at home though. So Congressman Cohen
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: is talking about trying to lead some secessionary movement. I
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: presume to have Memphis join Arkansas because they've divided in
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: their new districts Shelby County in half there, But otherwise
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: it doesn't seem like Tennessee is all that bent out
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: of shape about its new congressional districts. What are you
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: guys getting there in Memphis, where, if I'm not mistaken,
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: the Democrat African American mayor has sat down with President
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Trump to work on fighting crime in his city.
• 15:19
  Speaker 14: Yeah, that's right, and it's a lot to unpack. I
• 15:22
  Speaker 14: actually live in the congressional district that everybody's talking about,
• 15:27
  Speaker 14: and it is it's an interesting topic of conversation, but
• 15:31
  Speaker 14: I think a lot is getting lost in the mainstream media.
• 15:34
  Speaker 14: You are correct. And this is what's fascinating here, Joe,
• 15:39
  Speaker 14: at this very moment in the state of tennessee below
• 15:42
  Speaker 14: the Mason Dickon line. You literally have black people that
• 15:46
  Speaker 14: are marching in the state capitol wearing KKK outfits. What
• 15:51
  Speaker 14: you have black people, yes, sir, and it's all on video.
• 15:54
  Speaker 14: You have black people that are waiving the Confederate flag.
• 15:58
  Speaker 14: You have a black man who got in the face
• 16:01
  Speaker 14: of a white state trooper and called him a boy.
• 16:04
  Speaker 14: And now you've got a black lawmaker, one of our
• 16:06
  Speaker 14: state lawmakers, who's calling for secession. Well, here's the problem.
• 16:11
  Speaker 14: Nobody wants Memphis. Mississippi doesn't want Memphis. Arkansas doesn't want
• 16:15
  Speaker 14: Memphis because we are a welfare state. I mean, the
• 16:19
  Speaker 14: billions of dollars that the rest of Tennessee has to
• 16:22
  Speaker 14: pour into Memphis just so that we can keep the
• 16:24
  Speaker 14: lights on is just insane. So that is just not
• 16:29
  Speaker 14: going to happen. But the reality is that Congressman Steve
• 16:33
  Speaker 14: Cohen is a white guy, and the argument is that
• 16:36
  Speaker 14: blacks will no longer have their black congressional district. Well,
• 16:40
  Speaker 14: the fact is that the ten times that Steve Cohen
• 16:44
  Speaker 14: ran for office. There were blacks who primaried him in
• 16:48
  Speaker 14: the Democrat primary, and the voters kept going with the
• 16:51
  Speaker 14: white guy. Republicans. On the other hand, they actually held
• 16:55
  Speaker 14: their primaries and a black woman beat the white candidates
• 17:00
  Speaker 14: to become the Republican nominee. And she's run six times
• 17:03
  Speaker 14: and she's lost all times. But that just sort of
• 17:06
  Speaker 14: gives you the play of what's really going on when
• 17:08
  Speaker 14: they say, oh, this is about those racist Republicans.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Well, the first time I was in Memphis, we were
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: broadcasting from Freedom Fest was there a couple of years ago,
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: And I remember walking from my hotel which we could afford,
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: down to the convention center and you have to walk
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: past the Memphis Federal Reserve Bank, and I just a
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: frozen moment in my life to see a permanent homeless
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: encampment out in front of the Federal Reserve. As if
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: there wasn't a better metaphor for our financial problems that
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: we're in in our country, you know, and the office
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: buildings and the things that have remained empty for years
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: and years in Memphis as more liberal policies just keep
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: driving jobs away and prosperity out of there, is this
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: maybe an opportunity, Todd for all of that to start
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: to turn around.
• 18:02
  Speaker 14: Well, I think so, Joe. And the good news here
• 18:04
  Speaker 14: is that Memphis is not being divided. Memphis is being
• 18:07
  Speaker 14: broken up into three different sections. So you'll have three
• 18:11
  Speaker 14: members of Congress now representing the city in Congress, which
• 18:17
  Speaker 14: I think is only a good thing. And you've got
• 18:19
  Speaker 14: another voice that's you know, that's out there. It's defending
• 18:22
  Speaker 14: Memphis and advocating for Memphis. So it's a great city problem.
• 18:27
  Speaker 14: It is everything. And this just cracks me up. You know,
• 18:30
  Speaker 14: race is a big issue here and they always blame
• 18:33
  Speaker 14: the white man. And it's funny because for the past
• 18:36
  Speaker 14: thirty years, every single office in Memphis has been held
• 18:41
  Speaker 14: by a black Democrat. So we're still trying to figure
• 18:45
  Speaker 14: out how it's the white ice.
• 18:46
  Speaker 8: Cus.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, this is the point I've made about
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: the Great Society, Todd, since in nineteen sixty four when
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Lyndon Johnson cooked up the idea to stop the riots
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: in Oakland and other areas. We have now four times
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: as many people as a percentage of population living below
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: the poverty line as we did before the Great Society
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: was in Vokes. So you know, as President Trump has said,
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: why are we still doing this? Let's let's try something
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: new for a change, like opening things up so people
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: can start businesses.
• 19:22
  Speaker 14: I know, we've been covering on our national show that
• 19:25
  Speaker 14: airs on your radio station every day at noon, we've
• 19:29
  Speaker 14: been covering the situation in Virginia, and it's it's tragic
• 19:34
  Speaker 14: because that Tennessee could have gone in that direction. Instead,
• 19:38
  Speaker 14: we are a super majority Republican state. That doesn't mean
• 19:42
  Speaker 14: we don't have a lot of problems. I mean, we've
• 19:43
  Speaker 14: got lawmakers trying to make it legal to marry your
• 19:46
  Speaker 14: sister here. It's an issue. But you know, all things considered,
• 19:50
  Speaker 14: you know pretty good?
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, of course, But I mean Virginia's We were
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: just talking about Virginia's issues. Our attorney general, I mean,
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: are at Toney general, because he misspelled it in his
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Supreme Court filings and misspelled Virginia as well in the
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Supreme Court filings, is now trying to overturn the law
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: rather than actually trying to change the law that demands
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: how elections are taking place so that they could redistrict Virginia.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: And it's laughable to me, Todd, when I listened to
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Virginia's Democrats saying we should be able to ignore the
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Constitution to redistrict, but when Ron DeSantis wants to do
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: it in Florida, they're like, oh, hold it, the Constitution
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: says he can't call a special session. You can't have
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: it both ways. But this redistricting thing seems to have
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: brought out the hypocrisy in the Democrats.
• 20:45
  Speaker 14: Well, of course, and again, this is something the Democrats
• 20:48
  Speaker 14: have been doing for generations. And don't get me wrong,
• 20:51
  Speaker 14: we got a problem here. We've got to get this nationally,
• 20:54
  Speaker 14: this gerrymandering situation fixed. The problem is Democrats have been
• 20:58
  Speaker 14: doing this for a long time, and the Republicans know that.
• 21:01
  Speaker 14: They're saying, well, the Republicans are winning the redistricting bat No,
• 21:06
  Speaker 14: they're not. They're playing catchup, is what they're doing. I mean,
• 21:10
  Speaker 14: for example, when you look at New England, which went
• 21:12
  Speaker 14: over forty percent of the vote for Donald Trump, not
• 21:15
  Speaker 14: a single not a single Republican represents New England in Congress.
• 21:20
  Speaker 14: And it's worse than unders Illinois, California, New Mexico for example.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there's a and that's one of the problems.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: And I have a I'm on a soapbox that I'm
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: a little by little winning people over regarding how we
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: got here in the first place. And it involves an
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: arcane bit of US code called the nineteen twenty nine
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: Permanent Reapportionment Act, which was passed by Southern dixiecrat racists
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: who wanted to stop the growing black populations from getting
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: congressional seats as their population crew, so they just froze
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: the size of the US House of Representatives.

  Speaker 3: No, that's right, long distance information. Talking with Todd Starn's,
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: owner of the mighty nine to ninety in Memphis, and
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: our friends at w G o W in Chattanooga. We've
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: got everything covered except Nashville in the middle, and I
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: don't look good in one of those clear party vans anyway.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: Although it would be very cool to cover all of it.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: You know, there's such so many cool cities in Tennessee,
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: and it's great to get our voices heard there. Quick
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: reference Mark writes in oh great, Now you're going to
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: drag Todd into your mad world of a thousand congress people. Well,
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: think of how hard it would be to corrupt a
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: thousand congress people. I mean, just think about that for
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: a second, and I'll go back to what Bob and
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: Virginia said to us. This is notes from the Constitutional
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: Convention when the President rose for the purpose of putting
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: the question. He said that although his situation had hitherto
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: restrained him for offering his sentiments on questions depending in
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: the house, and might be thought he ought now imposed,
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: and it might be thought, ought now impose silence on
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: him who's going to keep his mouth shut? Yet he
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: could not forbe expressing his wish that the alteration proposed
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: might take place, in meaning changing the size of the
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: districts and identifying them as an important part of the constitution.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: The smallness of the proportion of representatives had been considered
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: by many members of the Convention and an insufficient security
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: of the rights and interests of the people. He acknowledged
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: that it had always appeared to himself along the exceptionable
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: parts of the plan, and late as the present moment
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: was for admitting amendments, he thought this of so much
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: consequence that it would give much satisfaction for him to
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: see it adopted. He was actually talking about lowering so
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: John Adams, not John Adams. George Mason's original Bill of Rights,
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: the first most pre eminent entry was that congressional district
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: be no more than fifty thousand per It actually starts
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: at thirty and then as the population grows. But then
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: once you get to fifty you got to cleave and
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: make new districts so that no more than fifty thousand
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: people would be represented by one congressman. And we did
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: the math yesterday. You know, our flagship area, Stanton, would
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: have a congressional district all to itself, Stanton and Waynesboro, Fairbanks, Alaska.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: Never mind, you know areas of southern California or around
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: Sacramento where bigger populations are, Salt Lake City, Chattanooga, Tennessee, Memphis, Tennessee.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: Todd Starn's talking with us about you know, the sizes
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: of the districts. They're going to be three congressional districts
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: kind of all intersecting there in Memphis. Well, you know,
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: imagine you know, a population that would actually have the
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: ear of a congress person. Yes, it means it would
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: be harder to get something through, but has it been
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: easy to get something through Congress at this point? And
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: like we saw in Great Britain, Nigel Farage's Reform Party
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: is created and is able.
• 32:21
  Speaker 15: To win a thousand seats from the left and a
• 32:25
  Speaker 15: thousand seats from the right, and all these local elections
• 32:29
  Speaker 15: leading to a call within the House of Commons for
• 32:34
  Speaker 15: a parliamentary election could cost Keir Starmer.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: His position as Prime Minister, could cost him his seat
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: in Parliament because small in the local these parliamentary seats
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: in the House of Commons in England are much smaller
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: population wise than a US congressional district, pushing past eight
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: hundred thousand people per So, I mean it was even something.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: And I've always been flogging on the fact that George Mason,
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: when he wrote the Bill of Rights, it was twelve entries,
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: and the twelfth one we actually enacted later on, But
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: that first one, the one he thought was more important
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: than even free speech, that came second to keeping your
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: representative district small. And then when you look at the
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: racial undertones of the Permanent Reapportionment Act, we had already grown,
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: and we were still growing. We just didn't have it
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: as small as they wanted. It was two hundred thousand
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: people per to fifty ish per congressional district in nineteen thirty,
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: which is four times what George Mason wanted in the
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: first place. But now our country frozen in four hundred
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: and seventy five, this whole redistrict thing thing and the
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: whole point of the Voting Rights Act to keep communities together.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: Black communities were being split in two by the Permanent
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: Reapportionment Act, specifically written by racist Southern legislators to keep
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: the growing prosperous Black communities from continuing to get more
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: voices in Congress. So yeah, I'm dragging Todd into my
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: mad little world here of this obscure legislation. And I
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: appreciate you being on with this, Todd. I mean, do
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: you think I've taught to folks who were ardent, you know,
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: folks against that repeal. But a friend of mine who
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: was an ardent opponent to the idea of lifting that
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: cap on how many congressional seats, we have found out
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: that it was one of George Washington's most important premises
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: in presiding over the Constitutional Convention was that we kept
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: small US House districts and then the states would be
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: represented by the Senate. You know, can we get back there?
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: Can we pull all of this bad finish off of
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: our beautiful piece of furniture.
• 35:21
  Speaker 14: I don't know.
• 35:22
  Speaker 8: I hope we can.
• 35:23
  Speaker 14: I think it's important for us to get back to
• 35:26
  Speaker 14: the original intent of our founding fathers, not just on
• 35:29
  Speaker 14: that issue. But you know, when you look at things
• 35:31
  Speaker 14: like religious liberty, when you look at things like the
• 35:34
  Speaker 14: Second Amendment, I mean, there's a lot of ground that
• 35:37
  Speaker 14: needs to be covered. But the great irony here is
• 35:40
  Speaker 14: the Republican Party in Memphis, Tennessee was founded back in
• 35:43
  Speaker 14: the nineteen twenties. Are you ready for this shoe? By
• 35:46
  Speaker 14: black business owners and we're trying to fight against the
• 35:50
  Speaker 14: rats who were silencing the Democrat voices in Memphis.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: God bless him. I love history for that. Like they say,
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: history doesn't repeat, but at rhymes Todd. You know, So,
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: is there as much controversy in Tennessee over the districts
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: as there has been in Virginia? Has the Has the
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: Democratic Party put up a bigger fight than just Steve
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: Cohen uh and his calls for cessation? You said there's
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: marching as well in the capital, So I guess it's
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: been quieter. The national media hasn't covered it as much.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: What what are they planning on doing?
• 36:29
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 36:29
  Speaker 14: I really don't think so. A lot of these folks
• 36:31
  Speaker 14: are busting from out of state. And you can tell
• 36:34
  Speaker 14: most Tennesseeans don't have purple hair, and we don't really
• 36:39
  Speaker 14: we really relate to the soy boy snowflakes here. I
• 36:42
  Speaker 14: will tell you most of the protesters we've seen have
• 36:45
  Speaker 14: been old, and they drive subarus and they probably need
• 36:48
  Speaker 14: to hit Jenny Craig. And also those protests wrap up
• 36:52
  Speaker 14: around Fork. The protests wrap up around Fork Clank Show
• 36:56
  Speaker 14: so they can make the early Bird special down at
• 36:58
  Speaker 14: the Denny's.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: It's like Jordan Peterson once said, he said, you know
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: how I've stopped having people protest my speeches. I give
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: them in the morning. So bless you, bless you, sir
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: Todd Starns here. You listen to him lunchtimes on the

• 37:35
  Speaker 14: about barbecue, can we do that?
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: Oh?

• 37:40
  Speaker 3: a verb, so you know you'll have to work with
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: me here. You know, smoking meat is not something I
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: ever did now I did Inhale at the last barbecue

  Speaker 3: I was at. So just you know, keep my Clinton
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: vibe going.
• 37:55
  Speaker 14: You and I will smoke a butt together. And that's
• 37:57

  Speaker 21: type two diabetes, heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a
• 41:11
  Speaker 21: million people a year. Even sadder, most of these deaths
• 41:14
  Speaker 21: are preventable with a few lifestyle changes, including regular activity,
• 41:19
  Speaker 21: healthier eating, and not smoking. Talk to your doctor about

• 41:26
  Speaker 21: if your doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication, listen. The
• 41:31
  Speaker 21: reason so many die is because not enough are willing

  Speaker 2: The first thing today by Joe Thomas on the Tunk
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: Media Network all natural and free of artificial intelligence.
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: So all these perversions of the American process come with
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: someone's self interest. When William Randolph Hurst went up, it
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: was almost a ten year long campaign using all of
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: his social media platforms known then as magazines and newspapers
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: to convince the American people that they were not being
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: represented by their senators, and nobody bothered to push back
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: on him, saying that's not what the senators are there
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: to do. It was all part of the push to
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: take away the small local communities and make everything a
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: big national boomer beginning of the twentieth century. He was
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: the Mark Zuckerberg of his time, and he used his
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: platform because it benefited his self interest to see senators
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: run for election. Running a newspaper, he knew they would
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: have to buy advertising from him, which they didn't have
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: to do otherwise. The state just chose them. And he
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: was successful because nobody pushed back. There was no concern
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: renervative talk radio. There was no constitutionalist message saying no, no, no.
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: Senators are supposed to take the roiling passions of the
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: population which is represented in the House. But keep in mind,
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: when William Randolph Hurst was doing this, it was the
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: same time they were working on the Permanent Reapportionment Act.
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: So they do the Permanent Reapportionment Act, then they create
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: elected senators who now no longer have to look at
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: something and say, hmm, that may be popular, but it's
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: not constitutional. Now they just look at it as h yeah,
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: let me see which way the wind is blowing. Then
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: you This is all happening in the early nineteen hundreds
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: nineteen ten is really I know it's the nineteen twenty
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: nine Permanent Reapportionment Act, but it started, it began as
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: a process trying to get through the House in the
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: nineteen sixteen, that wonderful, marvelous year when the Federal Reserve,
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: Tina writes in seriously, a homeless camp outside of the Fed.
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: I love it. You've got to go to Memphis if
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: for nothing else. I mean, I would suggest seeing Beele
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: Street and going down and where Memphis got it. You know,
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: where Elvis got his haircut and stuff like that is
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: still there. I mean, it's a little bit to me.
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: It's like a rock and roll country version of downtown
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: Charlottesville and Thomas Jefferson's home and you know, this is
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: where history was made Beal Street. But if you're in
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: downtown Memphis, the Federal Reserve is right there, looking out
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: over the river, and there's a permanent homeless en camp
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: in front of it. Because the FED was invented the
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: nineteen teens, Federal withholding tax in lieu of now the
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: Senators lifted from their responsibility as to represent the states.
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: Now you needed a way to get taxes out of
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: the states without their messy government saying no. So they
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: invented the irs and federal withholding taxes, which I still
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: maintain violates the Fifth Amendment because I did the work
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: already to qualify for that money, which means the money
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: already exists. I would love at some point I fear
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: being in that position of withholding my withholding and then
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: waiting for the police to come and arrest me for it,
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: and then questioning in Supreme Court. I would push it
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: all the way to the Supreme Court. I had already
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: earned that money. It was my money, even though it
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: wasn't in my hands, especially in a world where now
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: we can actually say, hey, people were voting, even if
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: the state claims Election day is the only day that
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: really counts for voting. Oh my gosh. But so imagine
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: just those three or four things that happened in betweeneen
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: ten and nineteen twenty, and you understand this was the
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: Palace Revolution that the Dixiecrats were able to push through.
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: This is when the filibuster comes to play. The Northern
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: apologists for the Civil War, while they're caught up in
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: crony capitalism of the reconstruction, bending and completely ignoring a
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: conventing the commerce clause to invent ways that the federal
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: government can jump into bed with businesses to get them
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: started again. After you know, the Northern Army marched through
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: the South and burned and ravaged and damaged many industries.
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: And there's just one chapter. And why I say we're
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: not facing a new civil war, We're facing a reignition
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: of the old one because it never was extinguished. The
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: players are the same, the teams are the same, the
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: agendas even the same, the open borders and the permanent
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: underclass that they want to create. So in scott and
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: Virginia beach rights, expanding the House of Representatives would also
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: spread the money out. I think it would eliminate the
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: money because you wouldn't be able to you wouldn't be
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: able to bribe enough people to win over a majority.
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: And again to talk about the importance of small districts.
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: So look to look at what happened in the United
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: Kingdom this week with Nigel Faraj and his a reform movement.
• 51:25
  Speaker 26: We've been so used to thinking about politics in terms
• 51:27
  Speaker 26: of left and right, and yet what reform are able
• 51:30
  Speaker 26: to do is to win in areas that have always
• 51:32
  Speaker 26: been conservative. But equally we're proving in a big way
• 51:36
  Speaker 26: we can win in areas that labor have dominated frankly
• 51:40
  Speaker 26: since the end of World War One. At the moment,
• 51:43
  Speaker 26: we're winning one in three of all the seats that
• 51:46
  Speaker 26: are up, but I genuinely think the best is yet
• 51:48
  Speaker 26: to come. Good morning, everybody.
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: I mean it is. It was a good morning where
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: the Reform Party did serious damage to the entrenched political parties.
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: And these political parties are supposed to be a way
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: to magnify, not diminish your voice. Andy writes in return
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: to constitutional money, Remember Andy, the reason we stopped doing
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: constitutional money was the Great Society. The Great Society had
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: promised all of these aid programs that we couldn't afford
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: if we were if we were limited to only spending
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: the money that we had gold to back up. So
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: they had to either cut all the aid programs, and
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: Republicans were not willing to do it. To be fair,
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: Nixon had a Democrat Congress as well. That wraps it
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: for us. Thanks again to Tom and Todd and you
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: for joining until tomorrow. So long and thanks for all
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: the fish.
