- 0:09Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Chunk Media Network.
- 0:14Speaker 2: All natural and free of artificial intelligence, your.
- 0:17Speaker 3: Words that steal me stem have a day at least
- 0:22Speaker 3: for work when the sun comes up, drops a pet.
- 0:24Speaker 4: Into school in the way.

- 0:35Speaker 4: He on the eggs pet.
- 0:40Speaker 6: Joe, thank you for letting me be of service to
- 0:42Speaker 6: you this morning. To be just like every morning. We
- 0:46Speaker 6: try to be your Joe all across America. Coming from
- 0:50Speaker 6: Central Virginia, the place that birthed America, we are the
- 0:53Speaker 6: midwives of America here in Charlottesville, Virginia, home of Thomas Jefferson,
- 0:58Speaker 6: although most of the people in Central Virginia governance want
- 1:02Speaker 6: to deny that Thomas Jefferson ever lived here. Funny enough,
- 1:06Speaker 6: as we approach April, I think we're about a month
- 1:09Speaker 6: removed from Thomas Jefferson's birthday. Most people would be surprised
- 1:15Speaker 6: to find out that here in Charlottesville, Virginia, they don't
- 1:18Speaker 6: celebrate Thomas Jefferson's birthday.
- 1:20Speaker 2: They want to.
- 1:21Speaker 6: Deny Thomas Jefferson existed. Why would that be because he
- 1:25Speaker 6: didn't build an authoritarian regime ready to do things for
- 1:29Speaker 6: the government like the far more important American President Barack
- 1:33Speaker 6: Obama said.
- 1:34Speaker 2: He would do.
- 1:36Speaker 7: Change.
- 1:37Speaker 6: You can believe in Jefferson was the first one to
- 1:40Speaker 6: kind of bring about that change. But here they won't
- 1:44Speaker 6: even celebrate his birthday. They continue to have quiet debates
- 1:48Speaker 6: about whether his statues should be seen anywhere because America
- 1:54Speaker 6: is a blight and anyone who helped make America created
- 1:59Speaker 6: that blight. These are the same people who aren't interested
- 2:02Speaker 6: in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a group of people
- 2:07Speaker 6: who actually made an actual blight against the country. But
- 2:10Speaker 6: here we are, sitting here from this sanctified place, the
- 2:16Speaker 6: left wingers attempts to silence it. Notwithstanding, ready to tell
- 2:22Speaker 6: you what went on last night, Ready to tell you
- 2:25Speaker 6: what we see in our analysis of what went on
- 2:28Speaker 6: last night. But most importantly, because you are the most
- 2:31Speaker 6: important local aspect of the radio station, what is it
- 2:35Speaker 6: doing on your street? What's it doing to you? Four
- 2:40Speaker 6: three four eight eight two four two one seven is
- 2:43Speaker 6: how you get their text message? Very popular. We'll get
- 2:47Speaker 6: some of the texts into the public record. In a
- 2:49Speaker 6: little bit, I'll do my best to read your words
- 2:52Speaker 6: with your intent, or you can call us at the
- 2:54Speaker 6: same number or email JT in the morning radio at

- 3:05Speaker 6: Bessont was asked by a reporter Thursday whether he would
- 3:08Speaker 6: get to a point where he told Donald Trump we
- 3:11Speaker 6: couldn't afford to continue bombarding Iran. Amongst stories being circulated
- 3:16Speaker 6: that we've burned through a year's worth of munitions in
- 3:19Speaker 6: a couple of weeks, then you need a different way
- 3:23Speaker 6: to judge how much munitions you would use in a year.
- 3:27Speaker 6: But Treasury Secretary Besson said absolutely not. There was no
- 3:32Speaker 6: point where the invasion or attacks on Iran would become unaffordable. Meanwhile,
- 3:38Speaker 6: Iran's UN ambassador said Thursday that his government was not
- 3:43Speaker 6: going to close the Strait of Hormuz, but it could.
- 3:47Speaker 6: He added that it's Iran's right to preserve the security
- 3:52Speaker 6: of this key shipping route that runs just past one
- 3:55Speaker 6: of their borders. A newly completed national survey by the
- 4:00Speaker 6: Blackland Group says fifty seven percent of the likely voters
- 4:04Speaker 6: they surveyed backed President Trump's military actions against Iran, and
- 4:09Speaker 6: even the higher majority said it was justified at fifty
- 4:12Speaker 6: nine percent. Japan is going to join the US Golden
- 4:17Speaker 6: Dome Missile Defense Initiative. Senei Takaichi, Prime Minister of Japan,
- 4:23Speaker 6: will announce this as she meets with President Trump on
- 4:27Speaker 6: March nineteenth. According to reports, Senate Democrats yesterday failed to
- 4:33Speaker 6: fund the Transportation Security Administration, so blame them for the
- 4:38Speaker 6: long lines and the continued blight of blue flu that's
- 4:42Speaker 6: running through TSA officers. The Senate later on Thursday tried
- 4:48Speaker 6: to get a procedural vote on Republican proposals to fund
- 4:52Speaker 6: all of homeland security, but also faced headwinds and fell.
- 4:59Speaker 6: Leaders of the nation's largest reform synagogue said Thursday that
- 5:03Speaker 6: their congregation was the victim of a targeted attack. The
- 5:11Speaker 6: FBI is here.
- 5:12Speaker 8: Working with their state, local, and federal partners to investigate
- 5:15Speaker 8: this incident, and I can confirm that we are leading
- 5:18Speaker 8: the investigation right now.
- 5:20Speaker 9: Is a targeted act of violence against.
- 5:22Speaker 10: The Jewish community.
- 5:23Speaker 6: The police went on to say they couldn't speak to
- 5:26Speaker 6: a motive to that. US stocks fell yesterday, SMP notching
- 5:32Speaker 6: its biggest three day to drop in a month. It's
- 5:35Speaker 6: like saying it's its biggest three day decline in the
- 5:38Speaker 6: past five days. I don't understand why it's headline writers.
- 5:42Speaker 6: One hundred dollars per barrel is where the price of
- 5:45Speaker 6: oil is. FBI Director Cash Ptel says that they are
- 5:50Speaker 6: looking at the Old Dominion University attack as a potential

- 13:33Speaker 6: for something they didn't understand. And that's what we're trying
- 13:36Speaker 6: to do. We're trying to manxplain what they're trying to
- 13:39Speaker 6: sell you. Uh, there where the guy in the back
- 13:42Speaker 6: of the square saying, no, it's not even snake oil,

- 14:09Speaker 6: com find supporter because you honestly, you can't be a
- 14:13Speaker 6: talk radio show host without somebody helping people buy gold.
- 14:17Speaker 6: But in my case, it's not a big corporation with
- 14:20Speaker 6: a call center. It's a family business that's been doing
- 14:23Speaker 6: this since technically actually since actually before Friday, the thirteenth
- 14:28Speaker 6: September of nineteen sixty three came around, they had already
- 14:32Speaker 6: been in business for more than a year. When I
- 14:34Speaker 6: first breathed my first breath and screamed at my mom. So, James,
- 14:39Speaker 6: welcome in, James. Luck is the fourth generation of these
- 14:43Speaker 6: gold and silver sherpas that help you climb the mountain
- 14:47Speaker 6: of investments.
- 14:49Speaker 2: There.
- 14:49Speaker 6: How are you doing, sir, I'm Jill, Well.
- 14:52Speaker 17: Joe and gold silver a little bit mixed this morning.
- 14:55Speaker 17: Gold is up a quarter of a percent at five
- 14:58Speaker 17: ninety two dollars, right below that fifty one dollars mark,
- 15:03Speaker 17: which is interesting to see but still trying to hold strong. Sover,
- 15:06Speaker 17: on the other hand, is down one percent, down to
- 15:09Speaker 17: eighty three dollars, and it's actually eighty three dollars even
- 15:13Speaker 17: at the moment.
- 15:13Speaker 6: Well, this gives you an opportunity to get in at
- 15:17Speaker 6: a lower level and then watch the ride as it
- 15:19Speaker 6: climbs back up. There is what I've picked up from context.
- 15:23Speaker 6: I'm just I'm just by association. I know this stuff
- 15:27Speaker 6: because I listened to you, James there, and you know,
- 15:31Speaker 6: volatile oil went back up to one hundred dollars a
- 15:34Speaker 6: barrel yesterday stock market, and I love this. I don't
- 15:38Speaker 6: know if you share my zeal for these these handhandedly
- 15:41Speaker 6: clickbait headlines, but you'll love this one.
- 15:44Speaker 2: If you are.
- 15:45Speaker 6: The headline is Wall Street has its biggest three day
- 15:49Speaker 6: dip in the past month. And because you see biggest
- 15:53Speaker 6: three day dip and you're like, and then you realize, oh,
- 15:56Speaker 6: out of the last what fifteen days, just like saying, oh,
- 16:01Speaker 6: that's the worst three days we've had in the past
- 16:03Speaker 6: five Bob, I don't know, let's see. But it's the
- 16:07Speaker 6: clickbait headline writers must make overtime for headlines like that.
- 16:14Speaker 17: Yeah, exactly. You It's like the same thing if someone
- 16:16Speaker 17: tries to say that silver, you know, is down or
- 16:20Speaker 17: something and silver isn't down.
- 16:22Speaker 6: So maybe compared to yesterday, but last year, my god,
- 16:26Speaker 6: you know you're you're you're ready to head to Vegas
- 16:29Speaker 6: with that, But we appreciate that. As always, there open
- 16:33Speaker 6: from ten am till two on Fridays Eastern for your
- 16:37Speaker 6: phone calls. No no call center, but if you miss

- 16:42Speaker 6: to you. Uh there and just find out more at
- 16:45Speaker 6: jcsgold dot com twenty four to seven all through the
- 16:49Speaker 6: weekend as well. James, you have an awesome weekend.
- 16:52Speaker 15: IKS show you too. A couple of.
- 16:55Speaker 6: Text messages on a theme here actually going in this
- 17:00Speaker 6: hamp in Hampton Roads, not Hampton Roades. Hamp That would
- 17:06Speaker 6: be way too ironic, wouldn't it hamp down on the
- 17:09Speaker 6: treasure coast, writes in on the subject of the failure
- 17:13Speaker 6: to fund TSA and Department of Homeland Security and the
- 17:17Speaker 6: Save Act and all of that, he said, so much
- 17:20Speaker 6: for quote a barrage of Trump's executive orders being codified
- 17:25Speaker 6: this year, almost the end of the first quarter, and
- 17:28Speaker 6: nothing has happened. Yeah, quarter of the way into year two.
- 17:33Speaker 6: And doctor Clark actually seemed to be coordinating statements with you.
- 17:40Speaker 6: He texted me this on the same subject. The passage
- 17:49Speaker 6: of the Save Act would doom the Democrat Party. There'll
- 17:52Speaker 6: be a permanent or very long term minority with voter
- 17:56Speaker 6: ID and clean voter They will be a permanent, long
- 18:00Speaker 6: term minority with voter ID and clean voter rolls. However, conversely,
- 18:06Speaker 6: failure to pass the Save Act will doom the Republican Party.
- 18:10Speaker 6: If thom can't muster fifty votes, vance is fifty one
- 18:14Speaker 6: and push this through reconciliation when eighty percent of the
- 18:18Speaker 6: American people want it. People will not show up to
- 18:22Speaker 6: vote in any sort of significant number to relegate the
- 18:26Speaker 6: Republicans to a permanent minority. The major difference. The Democrats
- 18:31Speaker 6: understand the threat and are fighting tooth and nail for
- 18:34Speaker 6: their very existence. The Republicans don't understand the consequences of inaction,
- 18:41Speaker 6: or they don't care. We've talked in the past about
- 18:47Speaker 6: how if you watch this stuff or you're old enough
- 18:51Speaker 6: to remember the good old days of the New World
- 18:54Speaker 6: Order versus Hulkamania, or even before that, Hulk Hogan versus
- 19:02Speaker 6: Andre the Giant, that traditional Washington DC politics tends to
- 19:10Speaker 6: become very much like World Wrestling Federation SmackDown without the sweaty,
- 19:17Speaker 6: oiled up physiques, except for when Marjorie Taylor Green was there,
- 19:23Speaker 6: because she could probably slam you into the turnbuckle pretty easily.
- 19:30Speaker 6: But there was no real rivalry. There wasn't really you know,
- 19:35Speaker 6: a hatred. Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan would hang out
- 19:39Speaker 6: together each slim gyms and you know, laugh all the
- 19:45Speaker 6: way to the very lucrative bank accounts they were keeping.
- 19:51Speaker 6: Vince McMahon was building a fortune that allowed him to
- 19:54Speaker 6: drive his Bentley at one hundred miles an hour into
- 19:56Speaker 6: a guardrail in Connecticut last week while his daughter is
- 20:02Speaker 6: out there trying to help President Trump dismantle the Department
- 20:05Speaker 6: of Education. But it was showmanship, it was for entertainment.
- 20:14Speaker 6: And so why would governance be relegated to some form
- 20:21Speaker 6: of primetime television theater? Why would government become theater unless
- 20:31Speaker 6: it is to be the opiate of the masses. Because
- 20:38Speaker 6: we learned from Julius Caesar. Caesar, you've heard of him,
- 20:44Speaker 6: Julius Caesar. I'm not speaking of some arcane reference like
- 20:48Speaker 6: Cincinnatus or something like that. Julius Caesar we've heard of.
- 20:54Speaker 6: So Julius Caesar took power here as we approached the
- 20:58Speaker 6: IDEs of March. Julius Caesar takes power in Rome by
- 21:05Speaker 6: claiming to know that there are existential threats just beyond
- 21:10Speaker 6: the boundaries into France. Back when you know, the French
- 21:14Speaker 6: were considered a grave threat to national security other than
- 21:18Speaker 6: their own. And Julius Caesar said, don't sleep on the French.
- 21:24Speaker 6: Oh they were the Gauls. Then don't sleep on these people.
- 21:29Speaker 6: They're ready to come and raid us. They're going to
- 21:33Speaker 6: do terrorist attacks, they're going to raid our borders. They're
- 21:41Speaker 6: coming after our very way of life. And the Senate said, okay,
- 21:44Speaker 6: you can have temporary power because our constitution says you can,
- 21:51Speaker 6: And four hundred years later, all of his descendants never

- 28:23Speaker 6: For See, that's what they want. They want us fighting
- 28:39Speaker 6: with each other. See you know, it's it's easy if
- 28:42Speaker 6: you're Kim jong un or the Ayatola to rule with
- 28:47Speaker 6: an iron fist, because there's nobody who's going to challenge you.
- 28:52Speaker 6: The dictators have it easy. It's the people who are
- 28:55Speaker 6: leading democratically elected or democratic representative governments. They have the
- 29:03Speaker 6: hard time just doing whatever they want to do. And
- 29:06Speaker 6: often they will complain saying, but look at what they
- 29:09Speaker 6: do in China, and that will be their excuse for
- 29:15Speaker 6: whatever obfuscations they have for you. Hey, Al, Christopher just
- 29:20Speaker 6: texted reminded, I think we were talking about Largo last week,
- 29:25Speaker 6: or it might have been earlier this week. We were
- 29:27Speaker 6: talking about all the redistricting and the ironies going on
- 29:30Speaker 6: between the Democrats of Florida and the Democrats of Virginia.
- 29:34Speaker 6: Because if you listen to the Democrats of Virginia and
- 29:37Speaker 6: the Democrats of Florida. You would think they are two
- 29:40Speaker 6: separate political parties, that they would be diametrically opposed to
- 29:45Speaker 6: one another and they would be battling it out in court.
- 29:48Speaker 6: Yet there they are standing shoulder to shoulder with each
- 29:51Speaker 6: other at the next national convention. And that's sort of
- 29:56Speaker 6: the street theater I was talking about. So in Florida
- 29:59Speaker 6: where al wbgs and tune in in Largo or all across,
- 30:06Speaker 6: and we have a ton of affiliates. Embarrassing, we have
- 30:09Speaker 6: more affiliates in Florida than we have in Virginia. But
- 30:13Speaker 6: we're working on it. We have a lot of passionate
- 30:15Speaker 6: folks in the Hampton Roads area that get a little
- 30:17Speaker 6: taste of this every morning for an hour and they're like,
- 30:20Speaker 6: oh why again. We get the rest of it, and
- 30:22Speaker 6: then they listen to my state, my flagship station on
- 30:24Speaker 6: the stream, you know, Scott and Barbara and all the folks.
- 30:27Speaker 6: I appreciate those folks tuning in there. And we're there
- 30:32Speaker 6: to help the radio stations. We're not there to get
- 30:34Speaker 6: people bounced off the air or anything. We're just trying
- 30:36Speaker 6: to be a breath of fresh air in between the narratives,
- 30:40Speaker 6: which is, let's divide you guys up so that you
- 30:45Speaker 6: don't realize number one, you outnumber us by like one
- 30:49Speaker 6: hundred to one, but that most of us agree on
- 30:56Speaker 6: most things. And this is where the spin doctors, this
- 31:01Speaker 6: is where the marketing geniuses come into play. So pick
- 31:08Speaker 6: a controversial topic off the top of your head. Okay, abortion,
- 31:16Speaker 6: The Democratic Party has long since abandoned the safe but
- 31:21Speaker 6: rare camp. And is you know, have sex all you want,
- 31:27Speaker 6: take a pill, you're all good. Pharmaceutical science. Without chemistry,
- 31:31Speaker 6: life itself would be impossible unless you're an unborn infant.
- 31:34Speaker 6: And then life itself is impossible.
- 31:39Speaker 15: Oh you're going straight to hell for that one right there.
- 31:45Speaker 6: But the civil war they want is an attitude is
- 31:51Speaker 6: not having choice, And we talk about the permanent act
- 31:55Speaker 6: of reapportionment that leads us to this crazy made world
- 31:59Speaker 6: of redistrict mania. This would be irrelevant if number one,
- 32:03Speaker 6: if we had listened to George Mason in seventeen eighty
- 32:08Speaker 6: nine and made the very first and this is important.
- 32:13Speaker 6: I know I seem pedantic on this, but when George
- 32:16Speaker 6: Mason filed his draft for the US Bell of Rights,
- 32:20Speaker 6: it had twelve provisions in descending order from what he
- 32:25Speaker 6: thought the most important were. And you'll hear journalists and
- 32:32Speaker 6: other folks talk about why the first Amendment is the
- 32:36Speaker 6: first amendment because George Mason thought it was the most
- 32:38Speaker 6: important thing free speech reassociation. No, he thought it was
- 32:42Speaker 6: the second most important thing. First among a list of
- 32:48Speaker 6: promises that he wanted made to protect the citizens from
- 32:53Speaker 6: an out of control centralized government, was that no congressional
- 32:58Speaker 6: district be larger than than fifty thousand citizens. Anyone know
- 33:05Speaker 6: where we are right now? In some cases we've passed
- 33:09Speaker 6: eight hundred thousand. You say, but Joe, that would make
- 33:16Speaker 6: Congress so enormous. Yeah, it would be impossible to do anything. Yeah, Okay,
- 33:24Speaker 6: Your argument against it is what number two? There are
- 33:28Speaker 6: governments that have large, voracious elected representatives by just the
- 33:35Speaker 6: House of Commons in England, never mind the New Hampshire
- 33:41Speaker 6: General Assembly. The New Hampshire General Assembly has four hundred members,
- 33:48Speaker 6: nearly as many members of just New Hampshire's General Assembly
- 33:52Speaker 6: as there are of the entire US government. And here's
- 33:55Speaker 6: the subtext to it is, you don't think that in
- 34:00Speaker 6: congressional districts that were population of fifty thousand.
- 34:04Speaker 2: Look around you.
- 34:06Speaker 6: More here our flagship station is in Stanton, Virginia, and Waynesboro, Charlottesville.
- 34:14Speaker 6: I mean even Charlottesville. Charlottesville metropolitan area is two hundred
- 34:18Speaker 6: and forty thousand people. That's about the size of a
- 34:23Speaker 6: congressional district before the Permanent Reapportionment Act was enacted. So
- 34:28Speaker 6: even they had gone way past what George Mason said.
- 34:32Speaker 6: And maybe George was just pulling numbers out of his ars,
- 34:36Speaker 6: But if you think about fifty thousand people and how
- 34:40Speaker 6: far you would have to go to find fifty thousand
- 34:43Speaker 6: people in your world Portland, how many congressional districts would
- 34:49Speaker 6: just be within the city of Portland or Dalton, Georgia.
- 34:53Speaker 6: How many congressional districts would be the fourteenth district around
- 34:58Speaker 6: Dalton and Rome or Chattanooga. How many congressional districts would
- 35:03Speaker 6: you have, and how many different political parties would we have. See,
- 35:09Speaker 6: that's the good sauce that gets made, the drippings, that's
- 35:14Speaker 6: the drippings that gets turned into the great gravy.
- 35:16Speaker 15: Yeah.
- 35:17Speaker 6: Yeah, it makes it harder for you to corrupt a
- 35:21Speaker 6: congress that's that large, But you also have all kinds
- 35:27Speaker 6: of opportunities for political parties that aren't from these ersatz
- 35:33Speaker 6: fourth and fifth branches of the American government, the Republicans
- 35:37Speaker 6: and the Democrats. You have a chance to say, you
- 35:39Speaker 6: know what we want, the Joe Thomas and the Morning
- 35:43Speaker 6: Listeners party, And I'll bet you on the Treasure Coast
- 35:48Speaker 6: we could get a congressional candidate elected. I'd love to
- 35:54Speaker 6: say in Stanton we could too, But I know how
- 35:57Speaker 6: passionate you guys are on the Treasure ghosts for Portland.
- 36:01Speaker 6: You think one district in Portland would vote for the
- 36:04Speaker 6: first thing today party candidate for Congress. This is part
- 36:10Speaker 6: and parcel of why we would have to use the
- 36:12Speaker 6: Convention of States another George Mason Brilliants to force them
- 36:18Speaker 6: into getting rid of this permittent Reapportionment Act because they
- 36:22Speaker 6: won't do it because they're either a Republican or a
- 36:25Speaker 6: Democrat and their party doesn't want to relinquish that special
- 36:30Speaker 6: place as one of the fourth or fifth branches of government.
- 36:38Speaker 6: The approval process. Andy wrote in on the cesarean section
- 36:49Speaker 6: of the program that we had earlier on talking about
- 36:53Speaker 6: how a dictator uses the theater of government, and Caesar said,
- 36:59Speaker 6: I'm taking to tutorial power, but I don't want the
- 37:01Speaker 6: Roman citizens to know it, so he continued, though he
- 37:05Speaker 6: did not need to. He continued to have the Roman
- 37:09Speaker 6: senate meet, meet with him, talk with him. He ignored them,
- 37:15Speaker 6: He did what he wanted. He often told them just
- 37:18Speaker 6: you know, because they were all Romans. But they weren't
- 37:23Speaker 6: holding him accountable for anything until the IDEs of March
- 37:28Speaker 6: came and Brutus gave him one in the back, and
- 37:31Speaker 6: then the rest joined in. But the key point of
- 37:34Speaker 6: Caesar's sticky end is that Augustus, who took over, walked
- 37:44Speaker 6: in and, as mel Brooks once said, good to be
- 37:48Speaker 6: the king, and didn't relinquish it and started the tradition
- 37:53Speaker 6: that went on for four hundred more years with the
- 37:56Speaker 6: theater of oh, the Senate's there to argue with me.

- 41:01Speaker 25: up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 41:05Speaker 25: I'm not only in all of their beauty and kindness,
- 41:07Speaker 25: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 41:09Speaker 25: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 41:13Speaker 25: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 41:15Speaker 25: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 41:18Speaker 25: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 41:21Speaker 25: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 41:23Speaker 25: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 41:26Speaker 25: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 41:30Speaker 25: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 41:33Speaker 25: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
- 41:36Speaker 25: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
- 41:38Speaker 25: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
- 41:42Speaker 25: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
- 41:44Speaker 25: variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
- 41:47Speaker 25: help those in need. So please join me an American

- 44:11Speaker 2: QUI amaze your friends here in First Thing Today by
- 44:15Speaker 2: Joe Thomas, I.
- 44:28Speaker 6: Haven't seen so many moons like this since the last
- 44:31Speaker 6: acc basketball tournament. I went to a beautiful moon out
- 44:35Speaker 6: there giving way to a Friday morning, Friday the thirteenth. Again,
- 44:40Speaker 6: you shouldn't worry about it, but since I was born
- 44:43Speaker 6: on a Friday the thirteenth myself, let me be your talisman.
- 44:48Speaker 6: If you are one of the folks who is racked
- 44:51Speaker 6: in fear by Friday the thirteenth, maybe your ancestors were
- 44:56Speaker 6: Knights Templar, then you probably have some grievance to file
- 45:01Speaker 6: their last thought on. Why do they promote this idea
- 45:04Speaker 6: of civil discord between people? So back to the abortion issue.
- 45:09Speaker 6: I think if you talk to one hundred people, ninety
- 45:13Speaker 6: nine of them would say protecting an unborn life is important.
- 45:17Speaker 6: The schism comes usually when you say when does that
- 45:21Speaker 6: life begin? Right now? In Virginia, they're saying, bah, you know,
- 45:24Speaker 6: it could be four or five years after birth. I mean,
- 45:27Speaker 6: you got people who say this, As insane as that sounds,
- 45:30Speaker 6: they're a tiny minority, but they're out there and they're
- 45:33Speaker 6: pulling on the Overton window. And in Virginia they may
- 45:37Speaker 6: very well allow for abortion all the way up till
- 45:40Speaker 6: the moment the child is about to come out of
- 45:42Speaker 6: the mother for no other reason than mom is having
- 45:47Speaker 6: a mental health moment. And trust me, having raised three kids,
- 45:50Speaker 6: and I'm not trying to trivialize. I'm saying that, you
- 45:54Speaker 6: know it is scary and daunting to be a parent.
- 45:57Speaker 6: Take that and go back to the moment the child
- 46:00Speaker 6: is conceived. I think also most of us agree we
- 46:03Speaker 6: should be better stewards of who we jump into the
- 46:06Speaker 6: sack with. And I'm going to say the quiet part
- 46:09Speaker 6: out loud. The pharmaceutical science that has made it easy
- 46:13Speaker 6: for us to shrug off what we're doing is doing
- 46:17Speaker 6: the society dirty. Not only is it bad for the
- 46:20Speaker 6: mother and We've proven this with science. Remember when we
- 46:23Speaker 6: used to be follow the science. So, I mean, these
- 46:26Speaker 6: are things I think we can agree on when we
- 46:28Speaker 6: take away the campaign literature and the cutely written slogans
- 46:34Speaker 6: like reproductive freedom as if someone is putting a chastity
- 46:39Speaker 6: belt on all the Americans and saying not until the
- 46:42Speaker 6: government approves you getting swerve on. But as long as
- 46:49Speaker 6: we're divided, like oh, I'm a Dodgers fan, Well I'm
- 46:52Speaker 6: an Angels fan. All right, Well we're going to have
- 46:54Speaker 6: a fight here. Then the poor kids who like the
- 46:58Speaker 6: Sacramento a's did you by the way?
- 47:02Speaker 2: Fun?
- 47:03Speaker 6: They finally decided to put Sacramento on their away uniforms. There,
- 47:07Speaker 6: there you go. That's that's a collector's item. Let me
- 47:09Speaker 6: get to you at four three, four eight eight, two
- 47:12Speaker 6: four two one seven. Good morning.
- 47:13Speaker 14: Who's this, Hey Joe?
- 47:16Speaker 6: It's Clark, Hey Clark. How are you doing, sir?
- 47:19Speaker 28: My fingers are cold. I've been posthold digger operating for
- 47:22Speaker 28: a while.
- 47:23Speaker 6: The most important PhD in a free society is the
- 47:27Speaker 6: post hole digger.
- 47:28Speaker 28: Yeah, so let me help you out with the follow
- 47:32Speaker 28: of the science. Every time you hear that, what's that
- 47:34Speaker 28: first letter?
- 47:34Speaker 14: In science.
- 47:36Speaker 28: Yes, you put two vertical lines in that ass and
- 47:40Speaker 28: you know how to follow the science. Okay, now, you
- 47:48Speaker 28: mentioned Cincinnatus earlier in the show and asked if that
- 47:52Speaker 28: was too esoteric a reference, Joe, I, well, remember Cincinnatus
- 47:57Speaker 28: kind of like the tavern keeper guy and Daniel Boone.
- 48:00Speaker 14: So yeah, no, that's not too esoteric. I got him.
- 48:03Speaker 28: I'm seeing his dry cornered hat, had on a white
- 48:06Speaker 28: shirt and a vest all the time beard too. So anyway,
- 48:13Speaker 28: you know, is there any doubt in your mind, Joe,
- 48:18Speaker 28: that twenty twenty was a stolen election?
- 48:22Speaker 6: You know, there wasn't at the moment, and now the
- 48:24Speaker 6: evidence is starting to pile up even more on on
- 48:28Speaker 6: that side.
- 48:30Speaker 28: So absolutely, positively there should be no doubt in anybody's
- 48:35Speaker 28: mind that that was stolen. What corrective measures, what significant
- 48:40Speaker 28: corrective measures have been taken nationwide or in the state
- 48:45Speaker 28: of Virginia since twenty twenty to correct the methods that
- 48:50Speaker 28: allowed that cheating to take place?
- 48:53Speaker 6: There have been And I want to pick this up,
- 48:55Speaker 6: and actually I want to thank hamp In on the
- 48:58Speaker 6: Treasure Coast for tip me to this. I didn't know
- 49:01Speaker 6: they passed it yesterday, but Florida passed their own version
- 49:07Speaker 6: of the Save Act. You have to be and you
- 49:09Speaker 6: have to prove that you were a US citizen to
- 49:11Speaker 6: get on the Florida poll books. Now they also only
- 49:15Speaker 6: accept driver's license, state issued ID, and military ID concealed
- 49:22Speaker 6: carry primit on election day to prove that you are
- 49:25Speaker 6: who's in the poll book as well. Student IDs are
- 49:28Speaker 6: not being accepted anymore. Things like that. So there are
- 49:32Speaker 6: places like Florida.
- 49:34Speaker 14: They but was one of those places Virginia?
- 49:39Speaker 15: No?
- 49:40Speaker 14: No, no, sorry, Okay.
- 49:42Speaker 28: Do you think that the Democrats just voluntarily quit chting
- 49:46Speaker 28: when it was working for him?
- 49:50Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 49:51Speaker 6: Let's ask Willie Sutton if he stopped robbing banks when
- 49:54Speaker 6: there was no money in him.
- 49:56Speaker 28: Well, you know I said yesterday, no firearms can be
- 49:59Speaker 28: like in stell An election lands. I think everything we
- 50:04Speaker 28: just talked about kind of supports that. I don't know
- 50:06Speaker 28: why anybody would think that your legislature is legitimately elected.
- 50:11Speaker 6: But this is but this is why you know, they
- 50:14Speaker 6: have to divide us about these you know, these silly things,
- 50:18Speaker 6: because the essential, the essential ones that the ninety percent
- 50:21Speaker 6: of things that we all agree on eighty Maybe if
- 50:23Speaker 6: you want to be liberal about it, you know, when
- 50:26Speaker 6: you take the sloganeering away, when you take the silly
- 50:29Speaker 6: slogans like you know, reproductive freedom or that kind of
- 50:32Speaker 6: stuff out of it, and you just discuss fact for fact.
- 50:36Speaker 6: Most of us agree on everything, but they wouldn't be
- 50:38Speaker 6: able to, you know, shuffle our tax dollars around to
- 50:42Speaker 6: whoever they want to. If we caught onto that and
- 50:45Speaker 6: we stopped fighting with each other over whether you voted
- 50:48Speaker 6: for Donald Trump or.
- 50:50Speaker 28: Not, well, we can't have a democratically elected representative government
- 50:58Speaker 28: if the Demos aren't the ones doing the election.
- 51:03Speaker 6: Well, but I'll make the argument that we can't have
- 51:05Speaker 6: a democratically controlled representative republic if we only have four
- 51:10Speaker 6: hundred and thirty five congressional districts for a population that
- 51:15Speaker 6: is tripled since that number was set.
- 51:19Speaker 28: Now you touched on why that has to be four
- 51:22Speaker 28: thirty five. Do you know how hard it would be
- 51:26Speaker 28: to buy enough to even know which politicians you needed
- 51:29Speaker 28: to buy?
- 51:32Speaker 14: If you had a thousand.
- 51:34Speaker 28: Congressional representatives in four parties, it would be impossible for
- 51:39Speaker 28: the corporate sponsors that run things right now to know
- 51:42Speaker 28: who to buy exactly.
- 51:45Speaker 6: That's my point. That's why we have to do it
- 51:47Speaker 6: through the Convention of States.
- 51:50Speaker 14: You know, it's real simple, folks.
- 51:53Speaker 28: The government that is best for the people is the
- 51:56Speaker 28: government that is closest to the people.
- 52:00Speaker 6: That's what George Mason wanted.
- 52:01Speaker 14: More.
- 52:02Speaker 28: You have represented the further you are from your government. Now,
- 52:07Speaker 28: the government that is best for the government is the
- 52:11Speaker 28: center laws government.
- 52:13Speaker 6: Let's ask Julius Caesar a lot.
- 52:16Speaker 14: The better it is for government, Yep, yep.
- 52:20Speaker 6: Caesar proved that back in the day. He's like, hey, uh,
- 52:23Speaker 6: And there is still historical debate about how dangerous the
- 52:27Speaker 6: galls actually were to the Roman Empire. But he said, man,
- 52:31Speaker 6: you know I need I need the war on terror. Uh.
- 52:34Speaker 6: And they signed for it. And that's that all comes
- 52:37Speaker 6: from this silly argument about war powers, which Obama and
- 52:41Speaker 6: Clinton et cetera gave to the president back in two Anyway,
- 52:45Speaker 6: I must run the news coming up, Clark. You have
- 52:47Speaker 6: a great morning, sir.
- 52:49Speaker 14: Take care. I'm gonna rereading fun.
