7:03

7:07
Speaker 8: when it comes to our spending our healthcare. This is

Speaker 9: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few

Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
8:13
Speaker 9: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
8:18
Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
8:22
Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
8:26
Speaker 9: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
8:31
Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
8:36
Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
8:42
Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
8:46
Speaker 9: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
8:51
Speaker 9: healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

Speaker 11: Hi everybody, I'm Jackhannah. It's always a boy growing up
10:01
Speaker 11: on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
10:04
Speaker 11: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
10:06
Speaker 11: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
10:08
Speaker 11: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
10:12
Speaker 11: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
10:15
Speaker 11: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
10:17
Speaker 11: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
10:21
Speaker 11: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
10:23
Speaker 11: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
10:25
Speaker 11: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
10:29
Speaker 11: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
10:32
Speaker 11: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
10:35
Speaker 11: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
10:38
Speaker 11: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
10:41
Speaker 11: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
10:44

13:15
Speaker 1: From Joe Thomas, It's first thing today.
13:18
Speaker 16: Oh gee, I always thought they were balls of gas
13:23
Speaker 16: burning billions of miles away.
13:28
Speaker 9: Book with You Everything scarce.
13:30
Speaker 5: And John Kerry back there with his classical gas telling everyone.
13:36
Speaker 1: The climate crisis is killing people. Yeah, climate crisis.
13:41
Speaker 5: Is killing We got you John and saying there's no
13:45
Speaker 5: So he goes on to say it is knowingly wittingly
13:50
Speaker 5: allowing people to die and infecting them with disease and
13:54
Speaker 5: providing them with air that kills people. And we're not
14:01
Speaker 5: willing to take the steps necessary to do what we
14:04
Speaker 5: know we need to do. And every year now millions
14:07
Speaker 5: of people around the planet are dying because of fossil fuel,
14:12
Speaker 5: like from my private jet that I fly around on.
14:18
Speaker 5: All right, I added that last bit in there, and
14:22
Speaker 5: you know the best part of this, the best part.
14:25
Speaker 7: Of the whole video.
14:25
Speaker 5: If you see the video that John Kerry has posted
14:30
Speaker 5: to I guess his YouTube channel or whatever. And I'm
14:34
Speaker 5: not hating. I'm sure he's got more sycophones, I mean,
14:37
Speaker 5: followers than I have on mine, which is, by.
14:41
Speaker 7: The way, if you're looking for it, Joe Thomas in America.
14:45
Speaker 5: I don't make dumb claims like this from the inside
14:50
Speaker 5: of a palatial study with dark wood grained paneling and
14:57
Speaker 5: books all across and look looking like he's just walked
15:01
Speaker 5: in from afternoon tea to record this expose on how
15:07
Speaker 5: he's propelling his vehicles with fossil fuels and generating the
15:15
Speaker 5: electricity for this massive mansion that he lives in. Believe
15:21
Speaker 5: it's still in the Pittsburgh I mean, it's obviously his
15:24
Speaker 5: wife's family fortune, the Heinz family. That surprised it's not
15:31
Speaker 5: ketchup stained walls. But these these folks just you can't
15:39
Speaker 5: spend enough time calling out the hypocrisy. And when I
15:43
Speaker 5: saw John Kerry on the news, I said, what the
15:46
Speaker 5: hell is John Kerry doing on the newswires? And then
15:51
Speaker 5: I realized it's because he's playing the supporting role in
15:58
Speaker 5: Banto's suit. This is the California Attorney General and his
16:04
Speaker 5: suit along with Colorado and Connecticut and Illinois and Oregon,
16:09
Speaker 5: all places you can listen to First Thing Today by
16:12
Speaker 5: Joe Thomason. I know so proud you are your leaders
16:16
Speaker 5: in these states. What's the expression they say to no, no, no,
16:21
Speaker 5: John Kerry says, flying around in a private jet has consequences.
16:26
Speaker 5: No elections. Yeah, yeah, that was an Elections have consequences.
16:30
Speaker 5: Y'all can do stuff about this. California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Oregon,
16:39
Speaker 5: along with New Jersey and New York and Washington State
16:43
Speaker 5: all filed suit to get back money that they were
16:47
Speaker 5: pouring into boondoggles of clean energy projects. But their tantrum
16:54
Speaker 5: is Congress promised us this money and the president can't
16:59
Speaker 5: take it away. And you say, well, of course, again,
17:02
Speaker 5: he's the executive, he's executing the office.
17:05
Speaker 7: I see.
17:06
Speaker 5: In nineteen seventy four, Congress, still butt hurt over Watergate,
17:13
Speaker 5: decided that they were going to continue to be punitive
17:16
Speaker 5: over the president, and Jerry Ford went okay.
17:21
Speaker 7: And they passed a law.
17:26
Speaker 5: That said that the president has to spend all the
17:32
Speaker 5: money that Congress appropriates in the manner in which Congress
17:37
Speaker 5: appropriates them each dollar. And you say, well, then, what
17:42
Speaker 5: the hell is the point of an executive branch. Well,
17:45
Speaker 5: if you're young enough, you might have grown up in
17:48
Speaker 5: a world where you're like, well, what exactly until Donald
17:51
Speaker 5: Trump came along and you're like, oh, that's why we
17:53
Speaker 5: have an executive branch. But when you look at the filing,
18:00
Speaker 5: when you look at this law, and you say, and
18:03
Speaker 5: this is the basis of their lawsuit, that the president
18:07
Speaker 5: cannot choose arbitrarily to spend money or not that if
18:12
Speaker 5: it's appropriated by Congress, even if it's a Congress that
18:16
Speaker 5: lasts sat in deliberative body ten years ago, which is
18:21
Speaker 5: much of what they're appropriating these days, our budget appropriations
18:27
Speaker 5: requests from twenty ten, twenty eleven. It's crazy.
18:34
Speaker 7: Just tack five percent on.
18:36
Speaker 5: This is how you get Minnesota. Just yeah, give them
18:39
Speaker 5: five percent more for cost of living. So John Kerry
18:48
Speaker 5: is out there to be the celebrity face while these
18:51
Speaker 5: lawsuits are going on. Then the counter suit another suit
18:58
Speaker 5: suing against the dangerment finding, Health and Environmental Group Coalition.
19:05
Speaker 5: None of them could do it on their own, but
19:07
Speaker 5: together they can get a bunch of Uncle George's money
19:10
Speaker 5: and sue the EPA challenging them to meet them in
19:16
Speaker 5: court to defend the decision to take down the endangerment
19:22
Speaker 5: finding that gives them. And I would love to see
19:26
Speaker 5: Lee Zelden argue it in this way. The endangerment finding
19:32
Speaker 5: is overly broad. Tell me what specific greenhouse gases there are?
19:39
Speaker 5: Because the overly broad endangerment finding from the Obama administration
19:44
Speaker 5: was that the EPA had authority to regulate greenhouse gases.
19:54
Speaker 1: What are they?
19:56
Speaker 5: It says dangerous greenhouse gases?
19:58
Speaker 1: Which one?
19:59
Speaker 5: And since the endangerment finding we have wandered from water, vapor, methane,
20:09
Speaker 5: carbon monoxide was sort of the beginning of it. And
20:13
Speaker 5: they were like, well, it's just what's the stuff that
20:15
Speaker 5: comes out of your tailpipe? And there were some scientific
20:20
Speaker 5: backup to say carbon monoxide. Asked, you know, any grieving
20:25
Speaker 5: spouse who finds their spouse in the garage with the
20:29
Speaker 5: car running, it is pretty deadly. Okay, so we'll give
20:34
Speaker 5: you carbon dioxide. And they're like, well, you know, just
20:37
Speaker 5: one other oxygen and now it's carbon dioxide. Isn't that
20:44
Speaker 5: the stuff we breathed out?
20:45
Speaker 1: Yeah?
20:47
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a lot of us on this planet. Have
20:49
Speaker 5: you been to Mumbai? Barack Obama used to love talking about, Oh, Mumbai.
20:55
Speaker 5: It was one of his favorite words to say that.
20:57
Speaker 5: He said, central Mumbai. It's like a cartoon character. And
21:02
Speaker 5: much of Obama's administration was sort of sadly like a
21:05
Speaker 5: dark like Frank Miller graphic novel kind of cartoon.
21:11
Speaker 1: You ever been to Mumbai?
21:17
Speaker 5: But I would love to see if you. If you
21:20
Speaker 5: get it in court, just argue the fact that it's
21:22
Speaker 5: overly broad. This is what the Supreme Court had said
21:25
Speaker 5: in the in Loper v. Bright. You can't just say
21:29
Speaker 5: clean up the water, damn the torpedoes. You need specifics.
21:34
Speaker 5: You need to say this is what we want to
21:36
Speaker 5: get out of the water and then you can debate it.
21:40
Speaker 5: But Dasha, well, it's Obama. We can't debate Obama. Otherwise
21:43
Speaker 5: we're racists.
21:45
Speaker 1: Oh that's right. I'm sorry.
21:46
Speaker 5: I should have warned you we were going to be
21:47
Speaker 5: racists this morning and story. But four three four eight
21:52
Speaker 5: eight two four two one seven City Elders, you ever
21:56

22:06
Speaker 4: Yes?
22:07
Speaker 9: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
22:12
Speaker 9: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long

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

26:50
Speaker 14: improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
26:54
Speaker 14: when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
26:57

27:01
Speaker 14: there are day to day things you can do. Lower
27:03
Speaker 14: your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,
27:06

28:12

28:14
Speaker 1: the first thing today.
28:24
Speaker 7: It's not.
28:32
Speaker 5: It's a great Thursday morning. On the program the radio
28:37
Speaker 5: program that isn't afraid to still.
28:39
Speaker 1: Call it a radio program.
28:41
Speaker 5: You know, the amplitude and the frequency module istion you
28:44
Speaker 5: bask in wherever you are, all across the place. So
28:48
Speaker 5: so much fun. This has been and continues to be
28:52
Speaker 5: as we meet new folks listening all across obviously, folks
28:56
Speaker 5: like Bob and Portland, who sent me another note to
29:00
Speaker 5: start the day this morning. Transgenderism is an assault on God.
29:05
Speaker 5: The idea that you're something other than your biology is
29:09
Speaker 5: a cultural construct intended as an assault on God and yourself.
29:15
Speaker 5: I mean, God is you, and you have to treat
29:20
Speaker 5: that as a temple. It's a great note, Bob, I
29:23
Speaker 5: appreciate that, and our friends down in Norfolk, Scott and
29:27
Speaker 5: Beth who listened down in Norfolk on either you choose
29:32
Speaker 5: w t AR eight fifty or WNIS seven ninety, both
29:37
Speaker 5: Odyssey stations. And I love my time for the time
29:41
Speaker 5: I was allowed to stay with Odyssey up in Buffalo,
29:46
Speaker 5: New York, when I worked for them up there doing
29:50
Speaker 5: shock jock radio and stuff like that, and Tim McGraw's
29:54
Speaker 5: horse and stuff like that there. But joining us specifically
29:59
Speaker 5: for our frien and all across the country because if
30:02
Speaker 5: you're in Oklahoma or Kansas, you've got branches of the
30:07
Speaker 5: City Elders, and you should really have city elders everywhere.
30:12
Speaker 5: They have a big branch. Just here in Virginia. There's
30:16
Speaker 5: like eight nine different branches, even in places as left
30:19
Speaker 5: wingy as Charlottesville, and they've been able to get people
30:22
Speaker 5: onto boards and actually work in getting moral people back
30:27
Speaker 5: into our government and joining us from city elders specifically
30:32
Speaker 5: out of Norfolk. Norfolk is Beth Brannon along with Marshall
30:36
Speaker 5: Patty from here in our flagship area. But I want this,
30:40
Speaker 5: I want this to be a note to you all
30:44
Speaker 5: that you should be starting up one yourself. But Beth,
30:47
Speaker 5: thank you for starting up your own branch of city
30:50
Speaker 5: Elders in the Hampton Roads area. And Marshall, of course
30:54
Speaker 5: what you've been doing here in Harrisonburg and Stanton and Charlottesville.
30:59
Speaker 5: They're welcome and thanks for joining me this morning.
31:02
Speaker 20: It's wonderful to be on here. Thank you for the
31:04
Speaker 20: honor and the privilege of joining you. I'm very excited
31:06
Speaker 20: to be able to talk about what we're doing here
31:08
Speaker 20: in southeast Hampton Road. So thank you for having me
31:11
Speaker 20: and Marshall.
31:12
Speaker 5: You know when the movement started, this the city elders
31:18
Speaker 5: governing the city gates and actually you know, reminding people
31:24
Speaker 5: that we need ethical and morally grounded people in our
31:28
Speaker 5: elected offices. It seems like Virginia has just voraciously jumped
31:34
Speaker 5: into the idea of this movement. What makes Virginia unique
31:40
Speaker 5: to this movement so far anyway?
31:44
Speaker 21: Yeah, I think it's a competitive state, which politically and
31:49
Speaker 21: so there's a lot of anks on either side, and
31:51
Speaker 21: there's a lot of fights to be fought. We're not California,
31:56
Speaker 21: you know, We're not Oklahoma. We're somewhere in between. And
31:59
Speaker 21: I think that people realize that what we're fighting for
32:03
Speaker 21: needs to be fought for, and that we really need
32:05
Speaker 21: to win on those Christian based values and you know,
32:09
Speaker 21: the moral and ethical principles that that we stand on.
32:12
Speaker 21: And uh So we've we've spread across the state and
32:15
Speaker 21: Beth and her team just done a tremendous job.
32:18
Speaker 7: They've helped get.
32:21
Speaker 21: City elders elected or city elders sponsored elected, and city
32:25
Speaker 21: council and school board uh in an area that's mostly blue.
32:29
Speaker 21: And I think Beth herself has probably knocked on more
32:31
Speaker 21: doors than anyone else in city elders, I think over
32:33
Speaker 21: a couple of thousand last election cycle, and so she's
32:36
Speaker 21: not just talking, and she's also doing the work, and
32:38
Speaker 21: so we're appreciative her.
32:40
Speaker 5: Well in Beth, I wanted to talk about this because
32:42
Speaker 5: it's not just and and I and I truly believe this.
32:48
Speaker 5: It doesn't require a political party for this. You weld
32:52
Speaker 5: just for example, this argument over the redistricting and the
32:56
Speaker 5: the kind of groups that are playing fast and loose
33:00
Speaker 5: with our election districts. You know, the original group that
33:05
Speaker 5: fought for our constitutional protection of our districting includes Democrat
33:11
Speaker 5: like Chad Peterson and ethics and that moral underpinning isn't
33:16
Speaker 5: a political party thing. Unfortunately, it seems like only one
33:21
Speaker 5: recognize that anymore. What do you find as you go
33:24
Speaker 5: door knocking in the Hampton Roads area and the Tidewater area.
33:30
Speaker 5: Am I off base about that? And does the message
33:33
Speaker 5: resonate with people of both political parties?
33:37
Speaker 20: Yes? It does, Yes it does. I do happen to
33:41
Speaker 20: be campaigning often to the doors of people who already
33:44
Speaker 20: are conservatives, but they do also send me to people
33:47
Speaker 20: who are called with we say swing and voters, so
33:51
Speaker 20: they're people who sometimes vote Republicans sometimes who Democrats. They're
33:54
Speaker 20: more concerned with the issues, and I love to talk
33:56
Speaker 20: to those people because they really want to hear them
34:00
Speaker 20: and the bolts of what's happening. So, in particular on
34:02
Speaker 20: this Jerry Manning issue, you know, sixty five percent of
34:05
Speaker 20: Virginians from both sides of the aisle and in the
34:08
Speaker 20: middle with the Libertarians, voted for the maps that we
34:12
Speaker 20: currently have and voted to keep them for ten years.
34:15
Speaker 20: So these people are watching what's happening in the over
34:19
Speaker 20: stretch of power in Richmond and their concerns about their
34:22
Speaker 20: rights being infringed, and they want to know how they
34:25
Speaker 20: can work to stop it and have back the power
34:29
Speaker 20: with the people, which is our government is designed. So yeah,
34:31
Speaker 20: it's an honor to talk to these people and I
34:34
Speaker 20: love to hear their perspectives and so often, like you said,
34:39
Speaker 20: they want to vote or the issues and not over
34:42
Speaker 20: the party.
34:43
Speaker 5: I'm going to stay with you for a second on this,
34:45
Speaker 5: but because Marshall mentioned that you've successfully you know, shepherded
34:50
Speaker 5: candidates under the city elders banner onto groups like city
34:55
Speaker 5: councils and school boards. Talk about the impact of moral
34:59
Speaker 5: leader readership in those bodies.
35:05
Speaker 20: Wow, A great example is the school board of Virginia Beach.
35:09
Speaker 20: So in around twenty twenty three we started working up.
35:13
Speaker 20: We started in twenty twenty two. Here in twenty twenty three,
35:17
Speaker 20: a local pastor who's very fiery on these issues and
35:20
Speaker 20: very well and form decided he wanted to get involved also.
35:23
Speaker 20: So one of the things that we really took on,
35:26
Speaker 20: especially under his leadership, was that at that time the
35:29
Speaker 20: Virginia Beach school Board was pushing really radical agendas. There
35:34
Speaker 20: were hundreds of people coming out to both speak out,
35:38
Speaker 20: to want lgbtqs taught in all their schools and special
35:42
Speaker 20: privileges and pornogra pornographic books in schools, and it was
35:47
Speaker 20: just really a struggling city in a city that's purple.
35:52
Speaker 20: So there was a lot of an agenda being pushed there,
35:55
Speaker 20: and city elders really decided to get involved. So we
35:58
Speaker 20: taught our people about these issues. We've talked to them
36:01
Speaker 20: how to write letters, how to come show up at
36:03
Speaker 20: school board meanings, how to speak out. And they came
36:06
Speaker 20: and they came, and they came for an extended period
36:09
Speaker 20: of times. So much so when the school board elections
36:12
Speaker 20: happened in twenty twenty four, that school board flipped from
36:16
Speaker 20: being completely radical left to now being conservative by one
36:20
Speaker 20: or two people. So some of we're changed there, and
36:24
Speaker 20: it's really changed what's happening and what kids are experiencing.
36:28
Speaker 20: And Foraginia Beach Schools, they're now back to dealing with
36:31
Speaker 20: education and not all these other fringe topics and things
36:36
Speaker 20: that are more helpful to our children.
36:40
Speaker 5: And one of the things, and you talk about school
36:42
Speaker 5: boards in the importance of it, I think that too
36:45
Speaker 5: long we had politically, and I think broadcasters play a
36:51
Speaker 5: role in this as well, because the national and the
36:54
Speaker 5: more and more centralized news media you know two three
36:59
Speaker 5: networks and yeah, yeah, your substack publishers and people like
37:03
Speaker 5: that that run around and kind of try to get
37:09
Speaker 5: in under the radar. But it's in the internet space,
37:13
Speaker 5: it's about click through So if you're not driving big
37:16
Speaker 5: click throughs, and often a school board race doesn't drive
37:20
Speaker 5: big clickthroughs unless you have something egregious like what happened
37:24
Speaker 5: in Louden County where you girl gets raped in the
37:27
Speaker 5: bathroom by somebody who had claimed and gotten permission from
37:31
Speaker 5: the school to feel like a woman, and maybe he
37:34
Speaker 5: just meant he felt like a woman. Every now and
37:37
Speaker 5: then and went and grabbed one in the girl's bathroom
37:39
Speaker 5: in Louden County schools. So unless you get a story
37:42
Speaker 5: like that that grabs national notoriety, most school board coverage
37:46
Speaker 5: doesn't drive big clickthrough, so you're not even seeing it
37:50
Speaker 5: on the internet. But we need to because this is
37:52
Speaker 5: where the Soros funded stuff and the Sharia stuff is
37:57
Speaker 5: sneaking into the indoctrination of our kids.

41:07
Speaker 12: type two diabetes, heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a
41:10
Speaker 12: million people a year. Even sadder, most of these deaths

41:18

41:26
Speaker 12: if your doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication, listen. The

44:09
Speaker 1: The first thing today on the Talk Media Network by
44:15
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas. So it's interesting.
44:30
Speaker 5: I was reading Apparently somewhere along the road, rob Ritchie
44:35
Speaker 5: a ka kid Rock has converted to Christianity, and I
44:40
Speaker 5: guess trolling.
44:41
Speaker 1: Back and forth.
44:42
Speaker 5: Bill Maher asked kid Rock through guests sent him a
44:47
Speaker 5: direct letter and said, wouldn't it be the Christian thing
44:51
Speaker 5: to do to give bad Bunny his time with that?
44:55
Speaker 5: And I just really, you're going to stretch Christianity that.
44:58
Speaker 5: But morality is, you know, is an underpinning. I don't
45:03
Speaker 5: think it has to deal with who does what halftime
45:05
Speaker 5: show at the super Bowl, but I think morality when
45:09
Speaker 5: the door is closed is an important part. That's why
45:12
Speaker 5: I love the work of City Elders. And we'll get
45:15
Speaker 5: to you at four three four eight eight, two four
45:17
Speaker 5: two one seven. Just finishing up Marshall Patty of our
45:21
Speaker 5: flagship area here in Harrisonberg and Stanton and Charlottesville and
45:26
Speaker 5: Beth Brannon from the Hampton Roads area and listening down there,
45:30
Speaker 5: and I appreciate it. What do you say to someone
45:37
Speaker 5: listening in Sandpoint, Idaho right now, or Salt Lake City
45:40
Speaker 5: or Sacramento. Oh, our poor friends in Sacramento listening right
45:44
Speaker 5: now and saying, oh, but we're in California, man, you
45:48
Speaker 5: know who are thinking about this here and are saying, yeah,
45:52
Speaker 5: that's that's kind.
45:52
Speaker 4: Of what we need.
45:53
Speaker 5: And if you're able to get people on school boards.
45:56
Speaker 5: Then you can make big change down the road as well.
45:59
Speaker 5: And I know we have locations in Tulsa and in Wichitah,
46:03
Speaker 5: and is there a national group to talk to that
46:09
Speaker 5: can help if somebody is you know, waking up this
46:11
Speaker 5: morning in Evanston, Illinois or Greenwich, Connecticut and said, oh,
46:16
Speaker 5: we could do that absolutely.
46:19
Speaker 7: And so you know, Jesse Rogers is the founder.
46:21
Speaker 21: And in Oklahoma they I think they have like something
46:24
Speaker 21: like three fourths, so the localities have a city elders
46:27
Speaker 21: in them.
46:27
Speaker 7: It's a very different culture. You know, it's a very
46:29
Speaker 7: red area. So it's it was easier to start off.
46:32
Speaker 7: You know, we're talking you know, Virginia.
46:34
Speaker 21: So we each have different roles and so you know,
46:38
Speaker 21: Jesse's the visionary and gives the direction and the idea
46:41
Speaker 21: and thinks of the picture. Virginia's kind of just kind
46:43
Speaker 21: of backstepped it and really worked about the details and
46:47
Speaker 21: where the rules are and how do we get things
46:48
Speaker 21: to go in and and so we we work in
46:51
Speaker 21: conjunction with also to start So we're working with a
46:55
Speaker 21: group in North Carolina right now near Duke North and
46:59
Speaker 21: North Carolina out University and and so we're just coaching them,
47:03
Speaker 21: and you know, once in a while one of us
47:06
Speaker 21: will go down and see different locations. We've talked about
47:09
Speaker 21: going to Pennsylvania, so we'll go to wherever people want
47:13
Speaker 21: to start and will help anyone else that once they
47:15
Speaker 21: get going.
47:16
Speaker 5: Talk about young people, Beth, I know Marshall is connected
47:21
Speaker 5: to a university in the Harrisonburg area. You decide don't
47:26
Speaker 5: want out people, but they have an explosion of interest
47:32
Speaker 5: in groups like turning point us A what about where
47:35
Speaker 5: you are in the Virginia Beach area has has the
47:39
Speaker 5: pardon the phrase, but the Charlie Kirk effect had an
47:44
Speaker 5: impact on young people looking for groups like City Elders
47:48
Speaker 5: for the answers to kind of the questions that they
47:52
Speaker 5: are finding themselves asking.
47:55
Speaker 20: That's a great question and that's something that you really
47:58
Speaker 20: want to start tapping into. So I'm also happily involved
48:01
Speaker 20: with a local Republican party here. We haven't seen it
48:05
Speaker 20: carry over to City Elders yet, but there is an
48:08
Speaker 20: active TPUSA chapter in one of our most challenging high
48:13
Speaker 20: schools in Stinia Beach, so we helped to try to
48:16
Speaker 20: connect with them, and I know that our local party
48:19
Speaker 20: wants to connect with starting the high school Republican clubs
48:22
Speaker 20: in this area. So I hope to connect I know
48:25
Speaker 20: the people that are getting ready to start that. I'm
48:27
Speaker 20: probably going to be involved in that, and I hope
48:29
Speaker 20: to be able to bring new people into City Elders
48:32
Speaker 20: because it completely fits with the vision of TPUSA and
48:36
Speaker 20: these other things that are happening. And for sure, I
48:40
Speaker 20: real lot and see a lot about the revivals and
48:43
Speaker 20: the movements that are happening on these campuses where our
48:47
Speaker 20: young people really want foundations of biblical truth, they want
48:51
Speaker 20: to be involved, they care about the future. So it's
48:54
Speaker 20: something that we're really helping to tap into war over
48:56
Speaker 20: the coming year.
48:58
Speaker 5: Oh absolutely, And thank you for being such a great
49:00
Speaker 5: example and showing us because you know, there are areas
49:03
Speaker 5: Marshall knows in Virginia that you know, people are like, oh,
49:07
Speaker 5: that's a lost cause, charlottes Will where our friend John
49:11
Speaker 5: Quisinberry it rolls up his sleeves every week. But you know,
49:17
Speaker 5: to know that it can happen, and it does happen,
49:19
Speaker 5: and it happens the old fashioned way by going out
49:22
Speaker 5: and talking to people. Beth, I know that you're the
49:25
Speaker 5: door knocking champ, but that's you know, that's really the
49:28
Speaker 5: essence of it. For all the glitzy, multimillion dollar TV buys,
49:34
Speaker 5: it's it's still comes down to talking to one another.
49:37
Speaker 5: And if we disengage, then we're guaranteeing that we're not
49:41
Speaker 5: going to be successful.
49:42
Speaker 7: Is that a fair statement?
49:46
Speaker 20: Absolutely? Absolutely, And I also the privilege of being able
49:49
Speaker 20: to attend a lot of community events here and get
49:51
Speaker 20: to know people that way different church events. You know,
49:54
Speaker 20: there are churches that care about what's going on and
49:56
Speaker 20: want to be involved and want to be connected with
49:59
Speaker 20: groups like City. It's a little more challenging here in
50:02
Speaker 20: southeast Hampton Roads what we are finding on avenues for that.
50:06
Speaker 20: So yes, absolutely all that works together.
50:09
Speaker 5: The City elders dot org is the national website for it.
50:13
Speaker 5: To Beth Marshall talked again a little bit later on
50:18
Speaker 5: this morning by four thirty four eight A two four
50:21
Speaker 5: two one seven. And what that just said there at
50:23
Speaker 5: the end is just so important to me because we've
50:27
Speaker 5: been gaslighted into thinking that we shouldn't have people thinking
50:35
Speaker 5: in terms of what is the moral what is the
50:39
Speaker 5: right thing to do, not just what is the legal thing.
50:42
Speaker 5: We cover this all the time, people playing fast and
50:46
Speaker 5: loose I mean it's the Clinton effect.
50:49
Speaker 4: Still, it's it's all.
50:51
Speaker 5: I was just with Jeff Jeff gamier Rada is playing
50:55
Speaker 5: so I could do work in the hot tub. I
50:57
Speaker 5: could get work in the hot tub. I could get welllevermot.
51:01
Speaker 7: You know, it's all.
51:02
Speaker 5: The definition of is stuff. And Bill Clinton didn't invent it.
51:07
Speaker 5: He just gave voice to it in a way that
51:09
Speaker 5: I don't think anyone had seen so clearly that these
51:12
Speaker 5: are people who are not interested in right and wrong.
51:16
Speaker 5: They're we're worried about is it legal? Can I be
51:20
Speaker 5: charged with something? And so we need moral people with
51:26
Speaker 5: a moral underpinning in these offices. And for so long
51:30
Speaker 5: we've been gaslighted by people like Margaret Downey and the
51:34
Speaker 5: Free Thought Society to say keep that stuff away. And
51:38
Speaker 5: then we wonder why eighteen year old kids, Clark writes
51:42
Speaker 5: in don't condone it, but understand it in completely formed
51:46
Speaker 5: prefrontal cortex, eighteen year old limited impulse control, paying attention
51:51
Speaker 5: to congressional actions, taking a shotgun to have a conversation.
51:56
Speaker 5: I don't condone, but I understand. But this is the
52:02
Speaker 5: isolation because we don't ask our kids to understand what
52:06
Speaker 5: it means to say that God himself is saying thou
52:09
Speaker 5: shalt not lie, thou shalt not steal. We think we
52:15
Speaker 5: get to decide, Well, we had a vote.
52:17
Speaker 1: We had a vote about this whole.
52:20
Speaker 5: What if Moses decided to hold a vote on the
52:26
Speaker 5: Ten Commandments? And yeah, I guarantee you since God had
52:33
Speaker 5: to tell the Israelites don't murder each other that, some
52:37
Speaker 5: would have said, well, could we change the way that many?
52:39
Speaker 4: That's cold? We just make it kill.
52:41
Speaker 5: I feel better about that, or or the whole bearing
52:44
Speaker 5: false witness. I mean, you know, I don't know. Sometimes
52:48
Speaker 5: you know that might help people.
52:50
Speaker 2: Right.
52:51
Speaker 17: Crime across the country is at an all time high.
52:54
Speaker 17: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
52:56
Speaker 17: a risk. We don't want the feeling of being unprotected
52:59
Speaker 17: and votvulnerable. We found get CCL dot com. Get CCL
