- 10:01Speaker 6: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 6: I'm not only in all of their beauty and kindness,

- 10:08Speaker 6: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 6: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins

- 10:17Speaker 6: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21Speaker 6: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search

- 10:25Speaker 6: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 10:29Speaker 6: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 10:32Speaker 6: perform life saving work every day.

- 10:36Speaker 6: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
- 10:39Speaker 6: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
- 10:42Speaker 6: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
- 10:44Speaker 6: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
- 10:47Speaker 6: in need. So please join me an American Humane and

- 17:28Speaker 7: people from storage wars?
- 17:32Speaker 17: You know, I guess I could do a credible barrier
- 17:37Speaker 17: if you gave me a little bit of time.
- 17:39Speaker 3: That's the hard one. He is, like the mensch. There's
- 17:42Speaker 3: that word again. But yeah, he says like that. I'm

- 18:05Speaker 18: Now.
- 18:05Speaker 17: I'll tell you what, if there's a yard sale not
- 18:07Speaker 17: far out of my way, I'll be checking that out.
- 18:09Speaker 17: As a matter of fact, all these things your legislature
- 18:14Speaker 17: is doing, I have an idea for something that ought
- 18:17Speaker 17: to be passed.
- 18:18Speaker 3: Joe, Okay, legislation, write this down.
- 18:22Speaker 17: Yes, the Yard Sale Sign Act of twenty twenty six. Okay,
- 18:28Speaker 17: if you put up a yard or garage sale sign
- 18:31Speaker 17: U and it's still up a week later, I get
- 18:36Speaker 17: to come to your house and buy stuff out of
- 18:38Speaker 17: your garage at ridiculous good prices.
- 18:42Speaker 7: Even if you're not selling it, like I want that
- 18:45Speaker 7: lawn tractor there.
- 18:47Speaker 3: I saw it.
- 18:47Speaker 17: If you ain't took your sign down out at the intersection, then.
- 18:53Speaker 3: You still got to sell me something. Are you having
- 18:55Speaker 3: a problem with that in your neighborhood there, Clark, So.
- 19:00Speaker 17: There's a sign. I went to the garage sale. I
- 19:02Speaker 17: bought stuff there, Okay, about four months ago. But the
- 19:08Speaker 17: sign is still up at the intersection.
- 19:11Speaker 3: Do you know Do you know that in Wilmington, Delaware?
- 19:14Speaker 7: And I know this because gosh, oh Man, So I
- 19:19Speaker 7: was on the air in Wilmington, Delaware twenty years ago
- 19:23Speaker 7: and they were passing the Delaware state legislature was passing
- 19:27Speaker 7: a law that said you had to get a state
- 19:31Speaker 7: state issued special use permit if you were going to
- 19:35Speaker 7: hold a yard sale or a garage sale. And it
- 19:38Speaker 7: was just the most ridiculous overreach of government. But I mean,
- 19:43Speaker 7: I can see your point. If you still got a
- 19:45Speaker 7: yard sales.
- 19:46Speaker 3: Sign up, now does that count for the ones on
- 19:48Speaker 3: the telephone polls.
- 19:51Speaker 17: Any if you got any sign up that indicates that
- 19:53Speaker 17: there's the yard sound and we could figure out who
- 19:55Speaker 17: put it up. You gotta sell some.
- 19:56Speaker 3: Stuff, Okay, I see that.
- 19:59Speaker 7: You will interesting enforcement apparatus to that as well.
- 20:05Speaker 17: When you shut the garage door, you go take those
- 20:08Speaker 17: signs down.
- 20:09Speaker 7: That's a fair thing in New York State. Here's another
- 20:12Speaker 7: fun law for you. In New York State, it got
- 20:15Speaker 7: so bad people were businesses were going out of business sales,
- 20:20Speaker 7: everything must go going out of business.
- 20:22Speaker 3: Blah blah blah.
- 20:24Speaker 7: The state had to actually pass a law that said,
- 20:27Speaker 7: if you post a going out of business sale, you
- 20:30Speaker 7: actually have to be out of business within six months
- 20:34Speaker 7: of the original posting of the sign because companies like
- 20:37Speaker 7: electronics stores were like going out of business sale, crazy
- 20:40Speaker 7: Edny going out of business sale, and then two years
- 20:43Speaker 7: later the store is still there because they made so
- 20:46Speaker 7: much money and they're going out of business sale. They
- 20:48Speaker 7: didn't need to go out of business anymore.
- 20:52Speaker 17: Joe Jacksonville, North Carolina, the home of camp was June.

- 21:10Speaker 17: Station, Furniture Warehouse will be closed today. Furniture Warehouse will
- 21:16Speaker 17: be closed tomorrow. Furniture Warehouse will open at eleven pm
- 21:22Speaker 17: Saturday night for the going out of business sale. The
- 21:25Speaker 17: largest furniture sale in the history of North Carolina, maybe
- 21:28Speaker 17: the world now, I think because there was just a
- 21:33Speaker 17: constant stream of new marines coming in, they figured that,
- 21:38Speaker 17: like every other month, they could run the biggest furniture
- 21:41Speaker 17: sale in the history of North Carolina, going out of
- 21:43Speaker 17: business sale.
- 21:44Speaker 7: You know what the funny thing is is, I've had
- 21:46Speaker 7: that commercial on about a dozen different radio stations in
- 21:49Speaker 7: my career. Just changed the town names and insert the
- 21:53Speaker 7: name of the business there. It sounds like a template
- 21:57Speaker 7: to me, Doctor Clark, thank you, sir.
- 22:01Speaker 19: Hey, I'm Brandt and her name is Shary.
- 22:03Speaker 20: I love.
- 22:04Speaker 19: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
- 22:06Speaker 19: for because of a surgery. She just went through.
- 22:09Speaker 20: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
- 22:11Speaker 20: talk about all the time, which.
- 22:13Speaker 3: Is meta share.
- 22:14Speaker 20: That is right.
- 22:14Speaker 19: Yeah, So What was your experience like with meta share
- 22:17Speaker 19: and healthcare ability?
- 22:18Speaker 20: Honestly brandt seamless and what a blessing that is. When
- 22:21Speaker 20: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was,
- 22:24Speaker 20: members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
- 22:27Speaker 20: me tell you, having people pray with you when you
- 22:30Speaker 20: call in with your need that.
- 22:32Speaker 19: Is just refreshing.
- 22:34Speaker 20: Yes, that's what it is.
- 22:35Speaker 3: What I keep telling people.
- 22:36Speaker 19: People love meda share and they love saving money. The
- 22:39Speaker 19: typical family can save five hundred dollars a month.
- 22:42Speaker 20: I am very thankful for Meta share. It is so different,
- 22:46Speaker 20: and I mean different in a very very good way.
- 22:48Speaker 19: It is good different call now. They're easy to talk
- 22:51Speaker 19: to and you can get a price within two minutes.
- 22:53Speaker 19: Call eight five five share forty. That's eight five five
- 22:56Speaker 19: s h a r E forty eight five five share.

- 23:11Speaker 21: better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
- 23:15Speaker 21: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases. AI supports
- 23:20Speaker 21: veterinary teams in exciting ways We're using AI to develop
- 23:25Speaker 21: personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
- 23:30Speaker 21: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
- 23:34Speaker 21: on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
- 23:40Speaker 21: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
- 23:44Speaker 21: AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for

- 24:07Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 24:12Speaker 9: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26Speaker 9: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:42Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 24:45Speaker 9: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

- 28:09Speaker 1: The first Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by
- 28:15Speaker 1: Joe Thomas.
- 28:16Speaker 23: Tonight tonight will make his.
- 28:20Speaker 7: History sure as scant, so the midterms officially begin tonight.
- 28:29Speaker 9: We'll take that he whispered to tie.
- 28:32Speaker 7: Back the head of time, and I share and I apologize.
- 28:38Speaker 7: Sometimes I drag you all into my mad, mad world.
- 28:41Speaker 7: Doctor Clark is still on the line because he actually
- 28:44Speaker 7: had something else on his mind. I dragged him into
- 28:47Speaker 7: this whole fanciful flight about storage wars and Jeffrey Epstein's
- 28:52Speaker 7: computer towers. But on the subject of tonight's State at
- 28:57Speaker 7: the Union address, the midterms begin tonight, and it begins
- 29:03Speaker 7: both with President Trump's constitutionally mandated address and our indulgent
- 29:09Speaker 7: allowance for the opposition party to make a speech as well.
- 29:13Speaker 7: Because Barack Obama's handpicked candidate.
- 29:17Speaker 3: For twenty twenty eight.
- 29:19Speaker 7: Will deliver the opposition research, Virginia's governor, Abigail Spanberger, will
- 29:26Speaker 7: dust off her impression of a moderate centrist and wheel
- 29:31Speaker 7: that one out for you there. And I tell you now,
- 29:34Speaker 7: what you're going to hear is a lot of making
- 29:36Speaker 7: things affordable. I got some flak because a news story
- 29:40Speaker 7: I wrote for our flagship station referred to subsidies for
- 29:45Speaker 7: housing programs. And somebody calls her statement says she's making
- 29:50Speaker 7: housing more affordable. I said, and how is that happening?
- 29:54Speaker 7: There's going to be a grant program. I said, yeah,
- 29:56Speaker 7: that's a taxpayer subsidy. Walks like a dunk, quacks like
- 30:00Speaker 7: a duck. It must be a tur duncan. Anyway, doctor Clark,
- 30:04Speaker 7: I appreciate you indulging my flights of fancy, but you
- 30:07Speaker 7: actually had a serious point.
- 30:09Speaker 3: You wanted to make. This morning.
- 30:11Speaker 7: Although I think I think the idea of a yard
- 30:13Speaker 7: sale ban might be something somebody in the Virginia General
- 30:17Speaker 7: at least unless the Virginia General Assembly could find a
- 30:21Speaker 7: way to sales tax your garage sale, because that they
- 30:25Speaker 7: would definitely do.
- 30:28Speaker 17: Oh, I have no doubts of that, and I'm not
- 30:31Speaker 17: against yard sales. I just think if there's a sign
- 30:34Speaker 17: that says there's a yard sale, there needs to be
- 30:36Speaker 17: a yard sale.
- 30:37Speaker 3: So fair enough. So what was your point that you
- 30:40Speaker 3: brought to.
- 30:42Speaker 17: One more thing? You just stimulated before I get to
- 30:46Speaker 17: the thing has achieved justice? Ever given the after the
- 30:52Speaker 17: State of Union rebuttal for the opposing side, I just wondered,
- 30:57Speaker 17: maybe that could be a thing.
- 31:00Speaker 7: You know, it's interesting if you go back to the Constitution,
- 31:03Speaker 7: not to get you know, you know, all Samuel Alito
- 31:07Speaker 7: or Justice Scalia on you, but the actual job of
- 31:11Speaker 7: the Attorney General of the United States in the Constitution
- 31:16Speaker 7: was to review all legislation before it was voted on
- 31:21Speaker 7: in Congress to determine whether or not what they were
- 31:26Speaker 7: voting on would pass muster as constitutional. The Attorney General
- 31:30Speaker 7: is sort of like a precursor to the Supreme Court.
- 31:33Speaker 7: He'd look at a law and say no, that's not
- 31:36Speaker 7: you're not going to make it through court. Because the
- 31:38Speaker 7: idea was that if you just forced everyone to have
- 31:41Speaker 7: to fight back against a law in court, it's going
- 31:46Speaker 7: to call the process would be the punishment. So even
- 31:49Speaker 7: in the eighteenth century, our founders understood that the process
- 31:53Speaker 7: could become the punishment. We can just enact whatever all
- 31:56Speaker 7: hell laws we want and ensure will give them up
- 32:01Speaker 7: when the court rules on it. But what's that going
- 32:03Speaker 7: to be three four, five years later? Fun and frolic
- 32:06Speaker 7: will prevail and and maybe that's who should give the
- 32:11Speaker 7: the rebuttal is the attorney general. He is like, all right,
- 32:15Speaker 7: here's the stuff the president said, is not kantial whatever,
- 32:19Speaker 7: but anyway, good thought.
- 32:20Speaker 3: So what was really the reason you called us.
- 32:22Speaker 17: This swimming Well, now that we've done perversion of process,
- 32:27Speaker 17: we can actually get to the real thing. Now. I
- 32:30Speaker 17: did not look this up, and I should have, but
- 32:32Speaker 17: I've been doing other things because I'm not really a caricature.
- 32:35Speaker 17: I'm a real person. But democracy, now, I'm pretty sure
- 32:41Speaker 17: demos is going to be Greek for people, and crotesy
- 32:45Speaker 17: is going to be form of government, right, Joe.
- 32:47Speaker 3: I think that is the root of it. I'm not
- 32:49Speaker 3: looking at my Latin, okay.
- 32:52Speaker 17: And we didn't walk pure democracy because that would be
- 32:56Speaker 17: mob rule.
- 32:57Speaker 3: Yeah, always has.
- 32:59Speaker 17: Them doing with the wiget to rule and perpetuity act.
- 33:05Speaker 17: Is the crotzy is picking the mob.
- 33:10Speaker 3: Right? Yes, that is That is a good depiction of it.
- 33:15Speaker 17: What'd you call it? No, let's see crodimassy, crotzy demascy
- 33:22Speaker 17: I don't know, is a complete fur around. It sounds
- 33:25Speaker 17: like majoe.
- 33:26Speaker 3: I think it's called mobocracy, you know.
- 33:29Speaker 7: And as President Trump pointed out last week, and I
- 33:32Speaker 7: made some hay out of this because I know that
- 33:35Speaker 7: his son and daughter in law own a winery within
- 33:38Speaker 7: the sound of our flagship station's voice, and I think
- 33:42Speaker 7: some family members live in Greenwich, near our great affiliate
- 33:46Speaker 7: there in Greenwich, WGH. But that being said, it seemed
- 33:50Speaker 7: like President Trump has grasped a concept that that I've
- 33:55Speaker 7: been talking about for decades now, which is the media
- 33:58Speaker 7: gives ninety percent of the attention to five percent of
- 34:01Speaker 7: the population because they're jumping up and down with their
- 34:04Speaker 7: hair on fire, and it creates a narrative that makes
- 34:11Speaker 7: it seem like, oh, everyone must agree with me. Here's
- 34:14Speaker 7: a great example of it. So, the Roanoke College here
- 34:17Speaker 7: in Virginia just issued a poll regarding guns because the
- 34:21Speaker 7: General Assembly has got a bunch of gun confiscation bills.
- 34:26Speaker 3: And you know what the headline is, most Virginians want
- 34:30Speaker 3: gun control. And that's not what the poll said at all.
- 34:34Speaker 7: You know what the poll said, when asked if there
- 34:36Speaker 7: should be stricter laws on gun ownership, forty eight percent
- 34:42Speaker 7: said yes, forty seven percent said no. And yet, because
- 34:49Speaker 7: they said, what about these scary automatic looking rifles?
- 34:52Speaker 3: Should we ban those?
- 34:54Speaker 6: Oh?
- 34:54Speaker 3: Yeah, we should ban those.
- 34:56Speaker 7: And what about making sure we register all the guns?
- 35:00Speaker 7: Oh yeah, we should register the guns. But then, when
- 35:02Speaker 7: asked if these gun laws would make them safer, forty
- 35:06Speaker 7: eight percent said no, forty seven percent said yes.
- 35:10Speaker 17: Did they ask about.
- 35:14Speaker 3: Ghost guns? No, they did not pull on ghost guns.
- 35:18Speaker 3: Those are the scary ones though, well, of course, because
- 35:22Speaker 3: they're ghosts.
- 35:23Speaker 7: Wait till the zombie guns come out and then Frankenstein's
- 35:29Speaker 7: firearms and all that. Now we're not being serious again,
- 35:34Speaker 7: sort of, we're being serious but satirized for your protection.
- 35:38Speaker 3: Good stuff, doctor Clark. I appreciate the question, though, sir,
- 35:41Speaker 3: take care.
- 35:44Speaker 7: Mobocracy and when they say mob rule and the reason
- 35:48Speaker 7: I brought up the President's statement was made in relation
- 35:52Speaker 7: to the Supreme Court ruling. He was talking about how
- 35:57Speaker 7: it's a very small group of people that are pushing
- 36:00Speaker 7: all these things, and I appreciated it because I've never
- 36:04Speaker 7: heard anyone else pick up on the fact that the
- 36:07Speaker 7: media gives an inordinate amount of attention to a very
- 36:10Speaker 7: small group. But that is pure democracy for you. You
- 36:15Speaker 7: do vote suppression, you know, that sort of passive vote
- 36:20Speaker 7: suppression where you make people not feel like their vote
- 36:24Speaker 7: matters so they don't. Then once you've got the voter
- 36:29Speaker 7: turnout down to a sufficiently low level forty to fifty
- 36:33Speaker 7: percent depending on the election. Sure, a presidential election might
- 36:38Speaker 7: get sixty percent nationwide, so you're still only needing to
- 36:42Speaker 7: sway one or two percent out of thirty percent. So
- 36:48Speaker 7: when you see a crowd of people outside your grocery
- 36:51Speaker 7: store saying hands off my handouts, you go, well, I'm
- 36:55Speaker 7: I don't know, I've been busy. I saw some headlines
- 36:59Speaker 7: on my smartphone. Looks like all our neighbors agree, Marge.
- 37:03Speaker 7: We must be against you know, the president as well.
- 37:08Speaker 7: And this was why we inoculated ourselves as a legislation
- 37:13Speaker 7: against pure democracy. The checks and balances were to check
- 37:19Speaker 7: and balance our passions because they knew that you could
- 37:25Speaker 7: get a small group of people to make it look
- 37:29Speaker 7: like a large ground swell of the population is for
- 37:34Speaker 7: or against whatever it is you want. It's what's brought
- 37:38Speaker 7: down democracies through the history of mankind, from the Greeks
- 37:43Speaker 7: on down. Is what Locke had learned, and Jefferson and
- 37:50Speaker 7: Madison had learned from Locke, and they put into practice
- 37:53Speaker 7: here in the United States in two hundred and fifty years.
- 37:56Speaker 7: It's longer than any other democracy or anything based on
- 38:00Speaker 7: democracy lack hi.
- 38:02Speaker 22: It's Mark Falter, hosts of the Financial Fitness Show. I

- 38:13Speaker 22: most hard working Americans, this just isn't the case. Why
- 38:17Speaker 22: because most people spend more time planning next weekends getaway
- 38:21Speaker 22: than trying to ensure they're going to pay less than taxes.

- 41:26Speaker 24: if your doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication, listen. The

- 44:13Speaker 1: Local and corporate controlled is still corporate controlled. This is
- 44:17Speaker 1: independence from Virginia again the first Thing today by Joe
- 44:22Speaker 1: Thomas on the Top Media.
- 44:34Speaker 4: You're on the air, what's on your mind?
- 44:45Speaker 7: Thank you bro letting us serve you up, and thanks
- 44:49Speaker 7: to our new friends. And I was just talking about
- 44:53Speaker 7: Chattanooga and Memphis and some of the places. I was
- 44:57Speaker 7: really puzzled because Tennessee is such a cool state. But
- 45:01Speaker 7: now we've got Memphis and Chattanooga locked up and getting
- 45:04Speaker 7: the goodness off the radio, and I appreciate that. But
- 45:08Speaker 7: we're actually talking with the folks who put together the
- 45:11Speaker 7: Kyle Petty Charity Ride every year. And Kyle Petty, you know,
- 45:15Speaker 7: obviously part of the NASCAR royal family, but every year
- 45:19Speaker 7: it takes a whole bunch of you know, his motorcycle
- 45:22Speaker 7: friends and does a motorcycle rally across the country. And
- 45:25Speaker 7: he's hitting so many of the first thing today high spots,
- 45:28Speaker 7: Colorado Springs, both Chattanooga and Memphis, Tennessee. Obviously finishing up
- 45:35Speaker 7: in conquered North Carolina there, but just going across the country.
- 45:42Speaker 7: I've tried to you want to talk about crazy. We
- 45:45Speaker 7: mentioned Charles Carrault at one point. We're actually trying to
- 45:50Speaker 7: get somebody to do that trailer that camper kind of thing,
- 45:54Speaker 7: one of those cab overs or something. You know, it's
- 45:57Speaker 7: something straightforward enough to drive but with enough room to
- 46:00Speaker 7: set up a studio in the back and just ride
- 46:03Speaker 7: along with the Kyle Petty Charity ride there, because I
- 46:07Speaker 7: think that would be a very cool way to do it.
- 46:09Speaker 7: We've done some things with them in the past and
- 46:15Speaker 7: it's fun and they're they're neat folks. This text message
- 46:20Speaker 7: comes in from Terry listening a talk radio eleven ninety
- 46:23Speaker 7: in Dallas. Joe, do you want a list of places
- 46:26Speaker 7: for you to visit while you're here for Seapack?
- 46:29Speaker 3: Terry?
- 46:29Speaker 7: I really appreciate that, and it would be fun to mention.
- 46:32Speaker 7: But Seapack and Freedom Fest, both of both of these
- 46:35Speaker 7: events that were going to come to broadcast from And
- 46:38Speaker 7: my wife and I have never been to Dallas or
- 46:41Speaker 7: Fort Worth. I've spent some fun times in Austin, but
- 46:45Speaker 7: don't judge, but these places are just a non stop
- 46:52Speaker 7: You're trying to find people that will add to your mourning.
- 46:58Speaker 7: You know, it's a Haulsey Gabbard one day, doctor Robert
- 47:02Speaker 7: Malone another day, and they're all over the place and it's.
- 47:05Speaker 3: An all day thing.
- 47:06Speaker 7: Actually, you know, the quiet time when I'm at places
- 47:10Speaker 7: like Seapack and Freedom Fest are the hours that were
- 47:12Speaker 7: actually on the air. And then everyone starts showing up
- 47:15Speaker 7: because it's, you know, one part convention, so there's always
- 47:19Speaker 7: some hospitality suite that runs till eleven o'clock at night,
- 47:23Speaker 7: and then you're trying to get guests to come down
- 47:26Speaker 7: at five am Eastern Standard Time.
- 47:29Speaker 3: Like, oh, that's a little early for me, man, Can
- 47:31Speaker 3: we meet it?
- 47:32Speaker 25: Like ten?
- 47:34Speaker 22: Yeah?
- 47:34Speaker 7: Then you know what we talk about won't be on
- 47:36Speaker 7: the air until tomorrow. But that's okay as long as
- 47:39Speaker 7: you know. You don't want to try to do breaking
- 47:41Speaker 7: news there, but I appreciate it, you know. Well, maybe
- 47:43Speaker 7: we'll stop by and visit our friends at Talk Radio
- 47:46Speaker 7: eleven ninety out there in the DFW Las Vegas. We
- 47:51Speaker 7: had a cool affiliate we used to when we first
- 47:54Speaker 7: came on the air on the Talk Media network. We
- 47:56Speaker 7: had a great affiliate and lost wages and they took
- 47:59Speaker 7: us off because apparently they.
- 48:03Speaker 3: Didn't like what we were getting.
- 48:04Speaker 7: A ton of phone calls, almost as much listener interaction
- 48:07Speaker 7: out of Las Vegas as we get out of Portland,
- 48:10Speaker 7: and Bob and all the folks out there listening on
- 48:14Speaker 7: both KFIR.
- 48:15Speaker 3: How is that going?
- 48:16Speaker 7: By the way, I know they were having some challenges
- 48:20Speaker 7: with ownership at KFIR in Salem Corvalis. Often I can
- 48:27Speaker 7: shoot an email to someone just as well. It just
- 48:29Speaker 7: struck me as we're getting sent for all of this
- 48:32Speaker 7: going on State of the Union address tonight, email from
- 48:36Speaker 7: Charis says Joe, why you put so much pressure on
- 48:40Speaker 7: the State of the Union address? The mid terms won't
- 48:44Speaker 7: start until September or so, so says my friend who's.
- 48:48Speaker 3: A local party chair, Charise.
- 48:53Speaker 7: That's that is traditionally and still there is an amass
- 49:00Speaker 7: of population that doesn't really start paying attention electorally till September.
- 49:07Speaker 3: And believe me, I wish the rest of the world
- 49:10Speaker 3: was like that. But what's going to be going on?
- 49:13Speaker 3: And I think it really already has been going on, but.
- 49:18Speaker 7: It will start with the State of the Union address
- 49:20Speaker 7: tonight and Abigail Spanberger's campaign announcement for twenty twenty eight
- 49:27Speaker 7: all those you won't say those words is now a
- 49:32Speaker 7: march to pre salt the field.
- 49:38Speaker 3: They need to.
- 49:41Speaker 7: Pre campaign almost so that by the time September and
- 49:46Speaker 7: October of this year rolls around and This is really
- 49:49Speaker 7: craven and it's just I feel so bad for people
- 49:53Speaker 7: that live in this world. But it's the reality of
- 49:55Speaker 7: it right now because we are so much just as
- 49:59Speaker 7: doctor Clark said in the last segment, democratsy driven country,
- 50:05Speaker 7: everything has to be voted for. Is there going to
- 50:08Speaker 7: be a Dell Taco in your neighborhood?
- 50:11Speaker 18: You know?
- 50:11Speaker 7: Do you want to bed? There was a story actually
- 50:14Speaker 7: Doctor Clark made me think of it. So did the
- 50:18Speaker 7: Jeffrey Epstein story. So there's the planning commission in our
- 50:22Speaker 7: flagship city of Stanton, Virginia. I think it's the Augusta
- 50:25Speaker 7: County Planning Commission has it on its agenda next week.
- 50:29Speaker 3: They have to be asked.
- 50:33Speaker 7: The owner of a storage facility. So they've given permission
- 50:38Speaker 7: to somebody to open a storage facility. It appears like
- 50:41Speaker 7: it's already been operating as a storage facility, all the
- 50:44Speaker 7: lockers and everything else and yeah, auctions, you name it.
- 50:52Speaker 3: But they want to store boats and RVs. Hello, that's
- 50:56Speaker 3: what happens at storage did.
- 50:58Speaker 14: You not know?
- 50:58Speaker 7: That's oh no, oh, she's got to come get a
- 51:01Speaker 7: special permit to store RVs and boats at the storage
- 51:04Speaker 7: facilities are there. And then on their same docket. Some
- 51:08Speaker 7: guy wants to start a homestay business Airbnb, that's you
- 51:15Speaker 7: might as well want to. You probably would be easier
- 51:18Speaker 7: in our flagship state of the Commonwealth of Virginia to
- 51:22Speaker 7: get a charter for a klu Klux Klan branch than
- 51:28Speaker 7: it is to get a homestay permit.
- 51:32Speaker 3: Oh oh my god, it's homestay.
- 51:34Speaker 7: It's and they demagogget and it's just I've only stayed
- 51:40Speaker 7: at one and it was lovely. My sister is a
- 51:44Speaker 7: huge fan of homestay. It's not easy.
- 51:49Speaker 3: I mean you really, it's not like you can go
- 51:51Speaker 3: to work at the you.
- 51:52Speaker 7: Know, it's spent ten hours at your office job and
- 51:55Speaker 7: come home and say, yeah.
- 51:56Speaker 3: How's everything. You guys having a nice day.
- 51:58Speaker 7: I mean, there's a lot of work in the homestay industry.
- 52:01Speaker 7: It can make you good money. But here's the government
- 52:05Speaker 7: saying we must give you permission first before you make money.
- 52:11Speaker 7: It's just so ridiculous. But that's the world. You're in,
- 52:14Speaker 7: this heavily regulated state and everything has to be voted on.
- 52:19Speaker 7: So you'll go to these planning commission meetings and there'll
- 52:22Speaker 7: be ten people there and eight of them will get
- 52:25Speaker 7: up and talk against something, and the planning commissioners go, well,
- 52:28Speaker 7: it looks like a majority of the community community, two
- 52:31Speaker 7: hundred thousand people, eight people get to derail somebody's business.
- 52:38Speaker 16: I know, I know.
- 52:39Speaker 7: Government is the process of leading by who shows up,
- 52:44Speaker 7: but it's frustrating when such small groups of people can
- 52:48Speaker 7: dictate to terms to others.
- 52:51Speaker 18: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
- 52:55Speaker 18: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
- 52:57Speaker 3: It was Medicare that came through force. There's no hassles,
- 53:00Speaker 3: there was no problem.
- 53:02Speaker 18: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
- 53:05Speaker 18: of such an incredible ministry.
