Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
- 0:09Speaker 1: the second most famous Thomas Charles.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Your words at steal me stem day.
- 0:17Speaker 3: At least for work.
- 0:18Speaker 4: When the sun comes up, drops a kid to scoot.
- 0:22Speaker 5: Joy all the JASU seven needs no one that Joe
- 0:28Speaker 5: Zalis smile.
- 0:30Speaker 4: He only as peg.
- 0:35Speaker 6: Joe, thank you for letting me be of service to
- 0:37Speaker 6: you this morning.
- 0:42Speaker 3: You know how we roll.
- 0:43Speaker 6: I will tell you what we see in the news.
- 0:46Speaker 6: We will give you our analysis of the evidence left
- 0:49Speaker 6: behind in the debris field and including incendiary devices at
- 0:54Speaker 6: al and then we will convene on how you see
- 0:58Speaker 6: it and how it's impacting you where you are this one.
- 1:02Speaker 6: How do we get an independent judiciary?
- 1:05Speaker 3: Joe? Well, you know, I don't know.
- 1:08Speaker 6: There's an expression America is screwed up, but it's better
- 1:11Speaker 6: than all the other places.
- 1:13Speaker 3: In the world.
- 1:14Speaker 6: I don't know how you get an independent judiciary, really don't.
- 1:20Speaker 6: Because our constitution is based on the idea of being
- 1:24Speaker 6: a moral society, and that means political party shouldn't mean
- 1:31Speaker 6: as much as it does because there is only one
- 1:35Speaker 6: final arbiter. But we sell ourselves out for the momentary
- 1:40Speaker 6: and the tangible and the immediate and so when the
- 1:45Speaker 6: people who appoint you to a position of notoriety. And
- 1:48Speaker 6: this is why organizations like the Alliance Defending Freedom and
- 1:53Speaker 6: Founding Freedoms Lost Center and Pacific Legal Foundation, these folks
- 1:57Speaker 6: are so important because they're the ones who file the
- 2:00Speaker 6: suit in the first place. If somebody's got Ken mentioned
- 2:04Speaker 6: suing Ken. Kuchinelli is on with us in the green
- 2:07Speaker 6: room getting ready. He had to go into makeup because
- 2:09Speaker 6: he's going to be on c SPAN later this morning
- 2:12Speaker 6: as well. He'll be back with us in a moment.
- 2:15Speaker 6: But you're talking about the rulings, the judicial rulings on
- 2:22Speaker 6: voting and voting rights. Is where you come to this question,
- 2:27Speaker 6: and I'll ask Canna, but it just it strikes me
- 2:30Speaker 6: that having somebody nominate a justice and then having a
- 2:35Speaker 6: whole separate political function going there should work. But it
- 2:42Speaker 6: doesn't right now in this world of the fourth and fifth,
- 2:47Speaker 6: fourth and fifth branches of the US government, which they
- 2:51Speaker 6: believe to be the Democratic and Republican party, And that's
- 2:54Speaker 6: what needs to be because the partisan justices come from
- 2:58Speaker 6: the partisan government that we're in, and it's just the
- 3:01Speaker 6: two parties and they read great power over these offices,
- 3:08Speaker 6: and you see what's happening with John Fetterman, for example.
- 3:11Speaker 6: We'll get into that coming up there. Since we're going
- 3:14Speaker 6: to we got to get our Pennsylvania chops on. We're
- 3:16Speaker 6: going to be on in State College in Altoona next week.
- 3:21Speaker 6: US aircraft carrier Nimitz and its strike group have arrived
- 3:25Speaker 6: in the Caribbean right as the US have been negotiating
- 3:28Speaker 6: with Cuba. Cuba says that they're concerned with the presence
- 3:33Speaker 6: of the naval armada and the pressure it seems to
- 3:37Speaker 6: be implying on Havana to negotiate with the US government. Meanwhile,
- 3:44Speaker 6: prosecutors federal prosecutors have filed murder charges against President Raoul
- 3:50Speaker 6: Castro for the downing of civilian planes in nineteen ninety six,
- 3:56Speaker 6: Sultan al Jabert, the head of adnac's, the oil and

- 4:08Speaker 6: halfway done completing a pipeline that would bypass the Strait
- 4:12Speaker 6: of Hormuz and allow oil to flow without permission of
- 4:16Speaker 6: the Iranians, US and Israel planned. According to a report
- 4:21Speaker 6: in The New York Times, UN vetted without context Makhmud
- 4:28Speaker 6: Ahmedinajad as Iran's new president if they were successful in
- 4:34Speaker 6: knocking down the theocratic administration, of which he was an
- 4:38Speaker 6: ardent part but had fallen out of favor with and
- 4:41Speaker 6: was actually in house arrest when the missile strikes started
- 4:45Speaker 6: coming in February. The twenty first Century Road to Housing

- 5:02Speaker 6: President Trump is expected to sign an executive order possibly
- 5:06Speaker 6: today on artificial intelligence. Leaks to Reuters say the executive

- 5:26Speaker 6: the AI for examination.

- 5:35Speaker 6: stop the one point billion dollar compensation fund for people
- 5:40Speaker 6: who are victims of government weaponization and lawfair, saying that
- 5:45Speaker 6: such a fund would create more political violence like they
- 5:49Speaker 6: saw on January sixth, and the Open Source Open Society
- 5:54Speaker 6: Foundation is moving three hundred million to the midterms. The
- 5:58Speaker 6: confetti will have barely settled and the smell of expended
- 6:02Speaker 6: fireworks will still be wafting through the air as we

- 8:07Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 8:13Speaker 10: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 10: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 10: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 10: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:32Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:37Speaker 10: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42Speaker 10: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46Speaker 10: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51Speaker 10: healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

- 9:58Speaker 12: Hirybody, I'm Jack. It's always a boy growing up on
- 10:01Speaker 12: a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals. I'm
- 10:04Speaker 12: not only in awe of their beauty and kindness, but
- 10:06Speaker 12: also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds
- 10:09Speaker 12: who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes who
- 10:13Speaker 12: work hard to provide for their young, or penguins who
- 10:15Speaker 12: travel up to five hundred miles to secure food for
- 10:18Speaker 12: their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows them
- 10:21Speaker 12: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.

- 10:27Speaker 12: the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets at home,
- 10:30Speaker 12: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life
- 10:33Speaker 12: saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports.
- 10:36Speaker 12: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
- 10:39Speaker 12: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
- 10:42Speaker 12: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
- 10:44Speaker 12: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
- 10:47Speaker 12: in need. So please join me an American Humane and

- 11:24Speaker 18: it's time to go home.

- 13:34Speaker 6: A reminder of Shakespeare's character said that wanted anarchy so
- 13:38Speaker 6: he could become king Ken Kuchinelli election transparency is on
- 13:44Speaker 6: with us, and they need to ask.
- 13:48Speaker 3: As an originalist and a.
- 13:50Speaker 6: Pantheon of great originalists like Antonin Scalia and Samuel Alito
- 13:56Speaker 6: and Ken Kutchinelli. And I know that there are other commonalities,
- 14:01Speaker 6: but you're all raw talian whether there's that too, But
- 14:05Speaker 6: I wasn't But and what is it about that? But
- 14:10Speaker 6: I have to ask you about this whole issue with
- 14:12Speaker 6: the Virginia Supreme Court four to three and Catanji Brown
- 14:17Speaker 6: now going out saying all the Supreme Court rulings on
- 14:20Speaker 6: voting rights are racist and should be questioned. How do
- 14:26Speaker 6: we fix this judiciary so that judges stop playing politics
- 14:33Speaker 6: with their rulings.
- 14:34Speaker 3: I have to ask your thought on it.
- 14:36Speaker 6: I'm not saying you know it's the permanent position of
- 14:39Speaker 6: ETI or anything, but I know you think about stuff
- 14:41Speaker 6: like this, have you? And how do we fix this
- 14:45Speaker 6: so we can stop having parties and judges.
- 14:48Speaker 21: So at the federal level you've got presidential selection and
- 14:53Speaker 21: Senate approval. I mean Justice Jackson was not. I don't
- 15:01Speaker 21: think her behavior is surprising, nor the quality of her rulings.
- 15:05Speaker 21: She wasn't picked for any of those things. She was
- 15:09Speaker 21: a DEI pick. And you know, the president said I'm
- 15:16Speaker 21: going to pick a black woman, so he immediately eliminated
- 15:19Speaker 21: ninety four percent of.
- 15:20Speaker 14: The population from selection.
- 15:25Speaker 21: And you know that's if you're the one picked, then
- 15:32Speaker 21: the whole world knows you weren't picked.
- 15:33Speaker 14: As part of a meritocracy.
- 15:36Speaker 21: But in case anybody missed it, by golly, Justice Jackson
- 15:40Speaker 21: is going to prove.
- 15:41Speaker 14: It to them.
- 15:44Speaker 3: Wow.
- 15:45Speaker 21: And I mean this is elections, This is elections have consequences.
- 15:49Speaker 14: The fact that Scalia's seat.
- 15:51Speaker 21: Was open in twenty sixteen was an incredible motivator for conservative,
- 15:57Speaker 21: Catholic and evangelical voters to come out and vote for Trump.
- 16:01Speaker 21: Not someone who is naturally appealing to them necessarily, but
- 16:05Speaker 21: the judiciary is a huge issue to us.
- 16:09Speaker 14: I'm part of that group.
- 16:11Speaker 21: And and you know, Trump stuck with what he said
- 16:16Speaker 21: he was going to do there, and unfortunately, the elections
- 16:21Speaker 21: have consequences. Is at two level. Won the presidential but
- 16:25Speaker 21: also the Senate. They could have rejected her and they didn't.
- 16:31Speaker 21: And now on the Democrats side, they were too afraid
- 16:34Speaker 21: of the narrative. Now, I say, on the Democrats side,
- 16:38Speaker 21: there were plenty of Republicans who run scared of all
- 16:41Speaker 21: of this stuff too. And and and here we are
- 16:46Speaker 21: stuck with a sniping, low quality justice who's going to
- 16:54Speaker 21: be there as long as she wants. And you know,
- 16:58Speaker 21: that's incredibly harm full to America. And hopefully that serves
- 17:05Speaker 21: as an object lesson you.
- 17:07Speaker 14: Know, I it's not cheating, but.
- 17:09Speaker 21: This is how I that's the context in which I
- 17:12Speaker 21: say it. When I when my opponents cheat, I want
- 17:14Speaker 21: them to be brazen about it. I don't want to
- 17:17Speaker 21: have to explain it to anybody, right, you know, And
- 17:22Speaker 21: she makes the subject you raise self evident at least
- 17:29Speaker 21: on the right side of the aisle, and that we
- 17:35Speaker 21: have to leverage that we remind people of that every election,
- 17:39Speaker 21: because you know, Joe Biden with a compliant Senate can
- 17:42Speaker 21: pick a Catanjie Brown Jackson, and.
- 17:48Speaker 3: So we need better senators, is what you're saying.
- 17:54Speaker 14: Long term piece of that equation. That's right.
- 17:58Speaker 6: Well, I'm glad to see that the RNC or the
- 18:01Speaker 6: RSCC spent so much money on helping John Cornyn and
- 18:05Speaker 6: not in Virginia where we might have actually won that
- 18:08Speaker 6: election with a few of those.
- 18:09Speaker 21: Yeah, and knock Thomas Massey out. Yeah, that was great.
- 18:13Speaker 21: God forbid, we have people who care about the constitution.
- 18:16Speaker 6: Yeah, forget about all that. You know, it's just it
- 18:19Speaker 6: would Al Davis once teach us it's the Oakland Raiders
- 18:22Speaker 6: of politics.
- 18:23Speaker 3: Just win, baby.
- 18:25Speaker 6: But Ken, you are always a gift to us because
- 18:29Speaker 6: I always feel three inches taller and a better dancer
- 18:31Speaker 6: for talking to you. Go knock him dead on c
- 18:34Speaker 6: SPAN and say hi to them there and we'll talk
- 18:38Speaker 6: to Youghain very soon.
- 18:40Speaker 14: Ah Hi, thanks Jo, good to talk to you.
- 18:42Speaker 6: And I think it comes back down to character. I mean,
- 18:44Speaker 6: even the Tommy Massey stuff. I mean, Thomas Massey has
- 18:48Speaker 6: no one else to blame but himself. Nobody had a
- 18:50Speaker 6: problem with Thomas Massey's constitutionalism until he became ideologically anti Israel.
- 18:59Speaker 6: Because that and ideologically being all one thing or another
- 19:03Speaker 6: is to me limiting in terms of your representation. Roger
- 19:08Speaker 6: and Marshall are still on with us from City Elders
- 19:12Speaker 6: of Virginia and your thought about this because City Elders
- 19:16Speaker 6: is one of those organizations. My life has seen a
- 19:19Speaker 6: lot of political campaigns come and go, and inevitably one
- 19:23Speaker 6: was like, I want to talk about my record. I
- 19:25Speaker 6: want to keep personality out of this. And it has
- 19:30Speaker 6: been my experience Roger or Patty, you know, either you
- 19:35Speaker 6: know you weigh in on this, but it's been my
- 19:38Speaker 6: experience that you can't really war game out every scenario
- 19:44Speaker 6: that a politician is going to an elected official is
- 19:48Speaker 6: going to face when they're in elected office. My great
- 19:52Speaker 6: example is I don't recall any of the debates in
- 19:56Speaker 6: two thousand between Al Gore and George W.
- 19:59Speaker 3: Bush centering around.
- 20:00Speaker 6: All right, so eleven guys hijack four airplanes and fly
- 20:04Speaker 6: them into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
- 20:06Speaker 3: What do you do?
- 20:08Speaker 6: Because you just don't know, you don't know what the
- 20:10Speaker 6: future is going to hold. So what you're hoping to
- 20:13Speaker 6: do is find people of good character. I want to
- 20:16Speaker 6: have character be the center of a political discussion because
- 20:22Speaker 6: we don't know what decisions they're going to be faced
- 20:25Speaker 6: with and and how, and we want to know how
- 20:28Speaker 6: they're going to act. You know, when those when those
- 20:32Speaker 6: corrupting influences might bubble under quietly and try to win
- 20:37Speaker 6: Sway County supervised or a school board. Gosh, man, we
- 20:41Speaker 6: see that, Roger. Does that make any sense to you?
- 20:45Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 20:45Speaker 22: A lot of the local politicians will come to our
- 20:47Speaker 22: meetings and they'll you know, they'll speak and we'll kind
- 20:50Speaker 22: of get a sense of what they're about, and you know,
- 20:52Speaker 22: we can kind of vet them as far as you know, is.
- 20:55Speaker 8: This somebody that represents their values?
- 20:56Speaker 14: Is this somebody that we can support?
- 20:58Speaker 22: And if we support them, I mean we'll get behind
- 21:00Speaker 22: with you know, with with some real action like door
- 21:02Speaker 22: knocking and letter writing and you know, you know, doing
- 21:06Speaker 22: the phone calls and the text banking and things like that,
- 21:08Speaker 22: whatever we need to do to you know, to actively
- 21:11Speaker 22: support them. But what what we're really looking for is people.
- 21:14Speaker 5: Who have got solid character, who are going to you know,
- 21:17Speaker 5: who are going to counter horrible legislation and actually promote
- 21:22Speaker 5: promote goodslit legislation in our in our state.
- 21:26Speaker 3: And that's so well said Roger, Thank you.
- 21:28Speaker 6: I mean it's again why you know, people and I
- 21:31Speaker 6: watch it all the time, their march around under this
- 21:33Speaker 6: banner of Christian nationalism. But I just want people wherever
- 21:37Speaker 6: they get their morality, whether it's the Old Testament, the
- 21:40Speaker 6: New Testament.
- 21:41Speaker 3: I you know, guys like Zudi Jasser, you.
- 21:44Speaker 6: Know, and and gain great morality from, you know, realizing
- 21:48Speaker 6: what's in there in their Quran. But we need to
- 21:51Speaker 6: have those people who aren't out there trying to uh,
- 21:55Speaker 6: you know, take care of themselves and the rest of
- 21:59Speaker 6: us will have to just deal with it.
- 22:02Speaker 10: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?

- 24:03Speaker 10: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 24:07Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 24:12Speaker 10: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18Speaker 10: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22Speaker 10: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26Speaker 10: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 10: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:42Speaker 10: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 24:45Speaker 10: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

- 28:15Speaker 1: thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media.
- 28:34Speaker 3: This one.
- 28:36Speaker 6: I wouldn't recognize a Matchbox twenty song if it bit
- 28:41Speaker 6: me in the ankles, but I'm sure I surely appreciate
- 28:43Speaker 6: the Keith Moon reference.
- 28:44Speaker 3: It shows me you're not a robot.
- 28:52Speaker 6: So morality, I don't think we've ever seen a time
- 28:58Speaker 6: where it has been more badly obvious that the US
- 29:01Speaker 6: Constitution does not operate if we are not a moral society.
- 29:05Speaker 6: Now we understand why Margaret Downey in the Free Thought
- 29:09Speaker 6: Society fought so hard to get Alabama to take the
- 29:12Speaker 6: Ten Commandments out of classrooms. And now we should sit there.
- 29:17Speaker 3: And we go.
- 29:17Speaker 6: I don't know why the kids are stealing and lying
- 29:20Speaker 6: and murdering, and I don't.
- 29:21Speaker 3: Know, I don't know, I don't.
- 29:24Speaker 6: Have you know, of course, you'll always get the haters
- 29:26Speaker 6: and the keyboard warriors there. Do you have empirical proof
- 29:30Speaker 6: that that's the case, I don't know. We took the
- 29:32Speaker 6: Ten Commandments out of classrooms and other kids lie and
- 29:35Speaker 6: murder and steal, just saying it might be a place
- 29:44Speaker 6: that you want to look, but beyond that, So we
- 29:48Speaker 6: talked about these judges and the political parties that hold
- 29:51Speaker 6: sway over them, and why do they hold that sway?
- 29:58Speaker 6: Because you want to get what you want and the
- 30:01Speaker 6: constitution is ill equipped to provide that. So what you
- 30:06Speaker 6: have to do is circumvent it. And that's why George
- 30:09Speaker 6: Sorows taught us that you buy the law enforcers, not
- 30:14Speaker 6: the lawmakers, by the ones that have invented things like
- 30:21Speaker 6: prosecutorial discretion. I've decided not to prosecute them from stealing
- 30:29Speaker 6: everything from you, because you know what, there might be
- 30:33Speaker 6: more people who will vote for your sorry carcass the
- 30:35Speaker 6: next time around. And it's part and parcel of why
- 30:38Speaker 6: democracy is a purity is a mistake of galactic proportion
- 30:43Speaker 6: as well, not just because you might wind up with
- 30:46Speaker 6: Zefid biebel Bronx as president.
- 30:49Speaker 3: But because.
- 30:51Speaker 6: It's only part of the equation of getting morality, because
- 30:55Speaker 6: you need somebody who doesn't have to be beholden to
- 31:00Speaker 6: a political party overseeing you, there always has to be that.
- 31:04Speaker 6: Nobody likes it. Nobody covets having to go to a
- 31:08Speaker 6: meeting twice a week. We have editorial meetings at the
- 31:14Speaker 6: Daily Signal.
- 31:16Speaker 3: Once a day.
- 31:17Speaker 6: I used to have to go into the operation manager's
- 31:21Speaker 6: office in Buffalo, New York when I worked there and
- 31:23Speaker 6: answer for stuff we did on the morning, but also
- 31:26Speaker 6: you had the opportunity to get stuff for tomorrow morning.
- 31:29Speaker 6: We got a lot of good stuff, did a lot
- 31:31Speaker 6: of good radio because of it. People asking you why
- 31:36Speaker 6: nobody wants to be the person who's asked why nobody
- 31:41Speaker 6: wants to get a text message from a listener saying, hey,
- 31:44Speaker 6: two weeks ago, they took marijuana off the Schedule one
- 31:47Speaker 6: narcotics list, and of course you remember, like duh, I
- 31:50Speaker 6: remember when that happened. But it does and it's real
- 31:57Speaker 6: and it's good.
- 32:03Speaker 3: And so you have to.
- 32:07Speaker 6: Understand that checks and balances are a societal thing, not
- 32:10Speaker 6: just a political thing. We think, oh, checks and balances.
- 32:13Speaker 6: It's the US government, and we have a checks and
- 32:15Speaker 6: balances system. No, we need to you know, society needs
- 32:18Speaker 6: a checks and balance system. And I'm looking at this
- 32:21Speaker 6: story about the the these two shooters from San Diego,
- 32:30Speaker 6: and they haven't published anything, and apparently they've let the
- 32:33Speaker 6: handpicked you know, experts for the.
- 32:37Speaker 20: Press following that press conference out of San Diego yesterday,
- 32:41Speaker 20: the shooting at an Islamic center rocking that community.
- 32:44Speaker 6: Let's bring so the experts line up to be brought
- 32:49Speaker 6: in on camera to say, well, I'm reading it. You
- 32:52Speaker 6: can can if you're going to give it to everyone
- 32:54Speaker 6: and their grandmother just published the damn things, and I
- 32:57Speaker 6: don't want them published because I think, first off, the
- 33:00Speaker 6: idea that to seventeen and an eighteen year old wrote
- 33:03Speaker 6: seventy five pages on anything is stunning to me. Most
- 33:09Speaker 6: teachers will tell you getting a seventeen year old to
- 33:12Speaker 6: write seven lines on a subject seventy five pages. But
- 33:20Speaker 6: I also have enough young people in my world that
- 33:22Speaker 6: tell you that will tell me that there is the
- 33:26Speaker 6: things they're talking about it in the dark corners of
- 33:31Speaker 6: just the public web. This isn't even the dark web stuff.
- 33:33Speaker 3: This is.
- 33:37Speaker 6: In cells and racists and white supremacist and misogynistic, uber
- 33:47Speaker 6: macho people who are you listen to them and say,
- 33:53Speaker 6: how do people allow you into the world, And it's
- 33:54Speaker 6: because they don't go out into the world. There are
- 33:57Speaker 6: no checks and balances in these places. That's why people
- 34:01Speaker 6: stay in them. People stay in these little silos of
- 34:06Speaker 6: self gratification.
- 34:10Speaker 3: Huh.
- 34:11Speaker 6: In cell, it's a shortened form of the word with
- 34:18Speaker 6: the phrase involuntarily celibate. I know, the Internet invents some wonderful,
- 34:25Speaker 6: fascinating things for the vernacular, but apparently these are all
- 34:29Speaker 6: folks who don't want to be celibate, but they are.
- 34:32Speaker 6: I used to call that my teenage years, but that's
- 34:34Speaker 6: a different matter. These there are no checks and balances
- 34:41Speaker 6: in these silos. It's just a bunch of people saying, yeah,
- 34:44Speaker 6: you're right, Yeah, you're right, Yeah, you're right, and we
- 34:54Speaker 6: permit this stuff. As a society. There are people in
- 34:59Speaker 6: every who act like, well, it's not my place, it's
- 35:04Speaker 6: all of our places. I mean, it's not your place,
- 35:08Speaker 6: it's all of our places. And you get back to
- 35:16Speaker 6: a world where we're being moral, we're being people of character,
- 35:22Speaker 6: then our elected representatives will become people of character again,
- 35:29Speaker 6: because I do still believe we have a representative government,
- 35:32Speaker 6: and you look at how these folks in our representative
- 35:36Speaker 6: government behave, and we gravitate to these two political parties
- 35:44Speaker 6: because they tell us they can get us the win.
- 35:48Speaker 3: We mentioned baseball earlier.
- 35:52Speaker 6: There's always an argument when the Los Angeles Dodgers of
- 35:56Speaker 6: the New York Yankees spend ten times more than your
- 35:59Speaker 6: favorite team, whether it be the Seattle Mariners or the
- 36:04Speaker 6: Houston Astros, whoever it may be. Yankees and Dodgers flaunt
- 36:10Speaker 6: restrictions on how much they ah won't pay the fine,
- 36:13Speaker 6: just pay the guys, all them as much as they
- 36:15Speaker 6: and they still don't win, or if they win, it's
- 36:20Speaker 6: they still have to play the other teams to do it.
- 36:23Speaker 6: It's not just handed to them. And there is a
- 36:33Speaker 6: lesson in this because we pick only two. You were
- 36:38Speaker 6: talking about choice, Republican or Democrat. That's your choice. I love,
- 36:46Speaker 6: I love the libertarian thoughts until you start talking to
- 36:49Speaker 6: people in the libertarian world who want to promote more
- 36:53Speaker 6: of these silos on the internet. You're like, al right, oh,
- 36:58Speaker 6: you had me at life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
- 37:01Speaker 6: But minor attracted persons. You know, that's a bridge too
- 37:06Speaker 6: far for me. So we have to have judges who
- 37:13Speaker 6: represent a thought and the idea being Once you're on
- 37:17Speaker 6: the judiciary, you don't have to worry about the political
- 37:21Speaker 6: parties anymore. You're not trying to play for the political
- 37:24Speaker 6: parties anymore. But we see now these rulings, they're all,
- 37:30Speaker 6: you know, four to three, five, four, all along partisan lines.
- 37:40Speaker 6: Even when it comes to defending your right to not
- 37:43Speaker 6: have something infringed, you'll see the partisans that want to
- 37:49Speaker 6: infringe it come down on the side whether there's any
- 37:53Speaker 6: legality to it, and usually their justification is, well, we
- 37:57Speaker 6: need to do something, and this is something.
- 38:01Speaker 25: At Hotshot Secret we share the science behind common diesel
- 38:04Speaker 25: problems in their solutions.
- 38:06Speaker 2: For example, diesel fuel setan levels.
- 38:08Speaker 25: In many states, the setane rating and diesel fuel is
- 38:11Speaker 25: forty two to forty five. Most diesel engines operate more
- 38:14Speaker 25: efficiently with the cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one.

- 43:26Speaker 14: Ready to go?
- 43:27Speaker 5: Hey?
- 43:27Speaker 23: Are you sure you're okay to drive?
- 43:29Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 43:30Speaker 6: I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
- 43:35Speaker 24: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
- 43:39Speaker 24: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
- 43:42Speaker 24: or a friend. Buzz driving is drunk driving. A message

- 44:11Speaker 1: Hundred to do list. Putting the radio on is the
- 44:14Speaker 1: first thing today.
- 44:18Speaker 26: Maybe something of your own life feel so fun business
- 44:27Speaker 26: and there's nothing but you can't do.
- 44:33Speaker 3: That's me.
- 44:36Speaker 14: Passion and the.
- 44:37Speaker 26: Vision, because.
- 44:42Speaker 14: That's it.
- 44:42Speaker 6: That's what we're doing, and we're just trying to break
- 44:45Speaker 6: it all down for you and for your attention, whether
- 44:48Speaker 6: it's uh, doctor Mitch or Jefferson Coin.
- 44:54Speaker 3: Just support whatever sponsors.
- 44:56Speaker 6: You need, uh and will be good with that. There
- 45:01Speaker 6: a couple of things that I wanted to get into
- 45:06Speaker 6: before we finished up here loose ends if you will
- 45:11Speaker 6: there and yeah, I want to get that sort of
- 45:14Speaker 6: thing this, Scott Virginia Beach writes, do you prefer judges
- 45:18Speaker 6: being elected or appointed?
- 45:23Speaker 22: You know?
- 45:23Speaker 3: There's an interesting.
- 45:26Speaker 6: Arc that I always thought and I've never seen it
- 45:29Speaker 6: practiced anywhere, but there's a book of it's fiction. Obviously,
- 45:35Speaker 6: it's called The Probability Broach. It's by an author and
- 45:39Speaker 6: I named el Neil Smith and some of the stuff.
- 45:42Speaker 6: He is just fancy. He's very libertarian. And in this
- 45:48Speaker 6: story arc of this world, he creates this world where Scott,
- 45:53Speaker 6: you'll find this interesting. The world that this Denver detective
- 45:58Speaker 6: finds himself in started when the Whiskey Rebellion was successful
- 46:04Speaker 6: and defeated the constitutional government of the United States, and
- 46:09Speaker 6: Belief reinstituted the Articles of Confederation, and they considered Washington
- 46:15Speaker 6: a great man, but not a great president. We had
- 46:19Speaker 6: other presidents like Thomas Jefferson JFK was still.
- 46:22Speaker 3: President in this world.
- 46:24Speaker 6: None of the above was elected one time for presidents,
- 46:28Speaker 6: little things like that. But in this world, judges were
- 46:32Speaker 6: not a municipal authority. If you had a grievance against something,
- 46:37Speaker 6: including law enforcement, so if law enforcement needed to have
- 46:41Speaker 6: somebody adjudicated, both parties had to hire the judge. It's
- 46:48Speaker 6: an interesting thought. What if you had to hire the
- 46:50Speaker 6: judge for your case and both sides had to chip in,
- 46:53Speaker 6: both sides had to instead of hiring lawyers, you had
- 46:56Speaker 6: to hire the judge, and then the judge would ask
- 46:59Speaker 6: you the questions. As an interesting arc to the idea
- 47:03Speaker 6: of putting judges of cases, and judges were a thing
- 47:08Speaker 6: I mean, you had to be almost like a medical professional.
- 47:12Speaker 6: You had to go to school, you had to be approved,
- 47:14Speaker 6: you had to have a license to be a judge,
- 47:17Speaker 6: which I thought was a point where his libertarian view
- 47:20Speaker 6: of the world came apart. You had to be an
- 47:23Speaker 6: authorized judge in order to get hired as one. You
- 47:27Speaker 6: couldn't just call Joe Thomas on the radio and say, hey,
- 47:30Speaker 6: we need you to judge this case for us. You
- 47:32Speaker 6: had to basically be a lawyer and pass the bar
- 47:37Speaker 6: as it were. Whereas, like I said, there are flaws
- 47:40Speaker 6: in the uber libertarian message there but of the world,
- 47:44Speaker 6: and I go back to what Ken was saying, I
- 47:49Speaker 6: like the x checking of it being an executive appointee
- 47:55Speaker 6: that has to then be approved by the legislature. The
- 48:00Speaker 6: problem with the system is the partisanship. It's the power
- 48:04Speaker 6: that the two political parties hold over the members. And
- 48:10Speaker 6: that's what needs to be fixed, because if you fix
- 48:15Speaker 6: the power that the two political parties hold, and they
- 48:20Speaker 6: hold that power because the government holds disproportionate power over
- 48:25Speaker 6: the economy. Scott as the especially post COVID and as
- 48:33Speaker 6: we still try to grapple with the acceleration of money
- 48:37Speaker 6: out of COVID and all the fraud piece I wrote
- 48:41Speaker 6: about the fraud in Virginia Louise Lucas at al, but
- 48:47Speaker 6: also connecting it to Congressoman McCormick and all the other
- 48:53Speaker 6: frauds that have come against the taxpayers. We all have theft,
- 49:03Speaker 6: We all have greed and jealousy and sloth and things
- 49:07Speaker 6: woven into the fabric of who we are boiled down
- 49:12Speaker 6: into seven vices and seven virtues, and we can all
- 49:17Speaker 6: fall prey to them. So why do you develop a scenario?
- 49:20Speaker 6: As I said, you make this giant cookie jar and
- 49:22Speaker 6: that acts surprise somehow that a lot of kids try
- 49:25Speaker 6: to put their hands in it. So we create this
- 49:28Speaker 6: regulatory capture of American life, and that benefits businesses. They're
- 49:35Speaker 6: not going to say no to it. Oh no, no,
- 49:38Speaker 6: you think a business is going to say no? This
- 49:40Speaker 6: is the soft car Marxism. Who are the biggest supporters
- 49:44Speaker 6: of Vladimir Lenin? The rich people in Russia, who are
- 49:50Speaker 6: the biggest supporters of Hitler, The rich people in Germany,
- 49:55Speaker 6: and I mean the crazy rich, the ones that were
- 49:59Speaker 6: married into royalty in seventeen different countries, habsburgs et cetera.
- 50:06Speaker 6: These people were the ones who supported the authoritarians because
- 50:10Speaker 6: the authoritarians promise was we will protect your money and
- 50:18Speaker 6: go after the middle class business owner because more people
- 50:22Speaker 6: work for middle class business owners than work for wealthy,
- 50:26Speaker 6: truly wealthy people. That's changed a little bit in America.
- 50:30Speaker 6: A lot of Amazon drivers and things like that out there,
- 50:35Speaker 6: but for the most part, people were working for middle
- 50:40Speaker 6: class businesses, and so if you vilified the middle class,
- 50:46Speaker 6: then you turn that in. So the government has created
- 50:50Speaker 6: this Marxist authority over the marketplace to the benefit of
- 50:55Speaker 6: the targets and the Walmarts and the Amazon. They love it.
- 51:02Speaker 6: They can deal with it. It's their competitors. It's somebody
- 51:06Speaker 6: who might want to start up a delivery business to
- 51:09Speaker 6: challenge Amazon ain't going to do it because you can't
- 51:13Speaker 6: deal with the cost of compliance that kind of stuff,
- 51:17Speaker 6: and the government controls that money. So if you're friends
- 51:21Speaker 6: of the great example Dominion Energy merging with next Gen
- 51:25Speaker 6: out of Florida, sixty seven billion dollar merger of electric
- 51:31Speaker 6: utilities Colorado Springs, the commissioner, the government commissioner of utilities
- 51:38Speaker 6: just got to raise from five hundred thousand dollars a year.
- 51:41Speaker 6: That's crazy enough to seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars
- 51:44Speaker 6: a year. Why one of the county supervisors or the
- 51:47Speaker 6: city supervisors said he has to run a two billion
- 51:51Speaker 6: dollar company. No, you don't. Why does the government need
- 51:54Speaker 6: to be running a two billion dollar company. That's where
- 51:57Speaker 6: the power of these political parties meet, tastasizes Scott.
- 52:01Speaker 3: And it's that power, that.
- 52:05Speaker 6: Venture capitalism that they're dealing with now where they're less
- 52:10Speaker 6: entertaining versions of mister Wonderful and Mark Cuban and they're
- 52:15Speaker 6: doing their governmental shark tank.
- 52:18Speaker 3: Oh plead the aristocracy, and we might give you something
- 52:23Speaker 3: to help you start your business if we approve of
- 52:26Speaker 3: your business.
- 52:26Speaker 6: That's where the corruption is. It's not whether we elect
- 52:29Speaker 6: judges or not. It's because these parties now control who's
- 52:33Speaker 6: swinging the lever which way and for which businesses. That's
- 52:38Speaker 6: what has to be fixed, and then the rest of
- 52:41Speaker 6: it starts to fix itself. Anyway we out, I'm Joe
- 52:44Speaker 6: Thomas and told tomorrow morning a five, so long and
- 52:47Speaker 6: thanks for all the fish.
