Speaker 4: uh and will be good. You know that's it just
14:15

Speaker 4: want to do something, and everyone wants to be John
14:23
Speaker 4: Adams or Thomas Jefferson and we all and we lose
14:27
Speaker 4: sight of the things that we're supposed to be doing,
14:30
Speaker 4: the magical, mystery, liberty loving things that we do on
14:35
Speaker 4: a daily basis, by example in many cases. But I
14:40
Speaker 4: digress four three four eight eight two four two one seven.
14:43
Speaker 4: That is our phone number. We break down the news
14:46
Speaker 4: of the day once we've delivered it to you here
14:48
Speaker 4: on First Thing Today, supported in part by jcsgold dot Com.
14:54
Speaker 4: And I say that because I know that our unspoken
14:58
Speaker 4: covenant is if you are in the market for gold
15:01
Speaker 4: or said, well, you give these folks a call. Why
15:04
Speaker 4: because they are a family business. It's not like please
15:07
Speaker 4: wait for the next operator to pick up your call.
15:10
Speaker 16: Beep.
15:11
Speaker 4: These folks are right there at jcsgold dot com and
15:16
Speaker 4: four to three four nine seven nine coo I and
15:21
Speaker 4: James Lucke is on the phone with us this morning.
15:23
Speaker 4: They are early ready to pack boxes and send stuff
15:26
Speaker 4: out to folks who have been ordering gold and silver
15:29
Speaker 4: off the website. Good morning, James, how are you, sir?
15:32
Speaker 13: I'm Joe.
15:33
Speaker 20: Well, Joe, and people have been taking advantage of a
15:36
Speaker 20: slight dip overnight so far. Earlier this morning, gold is
15:41
Speaker 20: down fifty four dollars, down just about one percent to
15:44
Speaker 20: five seventy two dollars. Yesterday was a big climb up
15:49
Speaker 20: though after we talked to gold and silver continued to run.
15:52
Speaker 20: Gold was up over one hundred and twenty dollars overall
15:55
Speaker 20: yesterday and we're still holding those levels at the moment,
16:00
Speaker 20: down just a quarter of a percent to eighty seven
16:02
Speaker 20: dollars and ninety three cents. Silver was hitting mid eighty
16:07
Speaker 20: eight dollars yesterday, which we haven't seen in a while,
16:10
Speaker 20: which is great. So a little dip so far.
16:13
Speaker 21: Then.
16:13
Speaker 20: I've just checked in the back end of the website
16:15
Speaker 20: and looks like a lot of people had their fingers
16:19
Speaker 20: on the trigger ready ready to buy a little pullback.
16:21
Speaker 4: So that's great, well, and you can do that, but
16:23
Speaker 4: I think you know if you're new to the gold
16:25
Speaker 4: and silver world and you don't know, because I mean,
16:28
Speaker 4: let's face it, Present Company excluded. I hear every you know,
16:33
Speaker 4: every I dial around and see what other folks are
16:35
Speaker 4: talking about, and everybody seems to have a gold and
16:37
Speaker 4: silver hookup somewhere. But it's all these corporations and these
16:42
Speaker 4: big international firms. And that's why I suggest that you
16:46
Speaker 4: talk to somebody you can talk to. These folks have
16:49
Speaker 4: been doing this since nineteen sixty one, so talk to
16:53
Speaker 4: them because it's not that they're without experience either. They're
16:56
Speaker 4: just a family business that wants to talk to you
16:59
Speaker 4: about where you are in gold and silver investing. James
17:03
Speaker 4: and I appreciate it as always. And the website is
17:05
Speaker 4: great aside from talking to folks because you've got all
17:09
Speaker 4: the research and all the other stuff that you can
17:11
Speaker 4: look at price of gold versus price of oil and
17:14
Speaker 4: all that stuff that I'm sure it takes quite a
17:15
Speaker 4: bit to get all set up.
17:18
Speaker 20: Absolutely, And and the great thing about us though, being
17:21
Speaker 20: a family business, is what you see on the website
17:24
Speaker 20: is what we have in our showroom. You know, we
17:27
Speaker 20: don't have things listed for sale on our website that
17:30
Speaker 20: we don't actually have that get fulfilled by you know,
17:33
Speaker 20: some third party or something. It's actually the items that
17:36
Speaker 20: are in our showroom of what we have there on
17:38
Speaker 20: our website. So it's it's direct you know, of us
17:43
Speaker 20: to our clients, and you know we're and we're not
17:46
Speaker 20: commission based. We're a family business. There are no commissions
17:49
Speaker 20: or hidden fees or anything like that. And we're not
17:52
Speaker 20: going to try to upsell you or switch you to
17:54
Speaker 20: something else. We really just want you to get the
17:56
Speaker 20: best deal, you know for investing in gold and silver.
18:00
Speaker 2: I love them.
18:00
Speaker 4: Thank you, James, You have a great morning, sir. I
18:03
Speaker 4: show you to jcsgold dot com. That's the phone number.
18:09
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, that's the website. Phone number is four three
18:12
Speaker 4: four nine seven nine. And how does that work out
18:15
Speaker 4: against co I N is two six four six for
18:21
Speaker 4: the Jefferson coinshob So we're talking about the State of
18:26
Speaker 4: the Union address prescribed report. He shall, from time to
18:34
Speaker 4: time give to Congress a report on the State of
18:37
Speaker 4: the Union. And it actually isn't anything requiring it to
18:41
Speaker 4: be a speech. It's just sort of become dereguer to
18:45
Speaker 4: get there and talk to folks, and it becomes like
18:50
Speaker 4: the Oscars in a lot of ways. If the Oscars
18:53
Speaker 4: actually had public policy. I know that folks like you know,
18:58
Speaker 4: uh Oprah Winfrey would love the Oscars to have public
19:01
Speaker 4: policy implications, and some of them think they do. Billie
19:08
Speaker 4: Eilish and etc. And the Grammys. But you know, the
19:13
Speaker 4: State of the Union address is like the political version
19:16
Speaker 4: of the Oscars. Everyone wants a front row seat or
19:21
Speaker 4: a representative that I lived in his district and he
19:24
Speaker 4: made a big, big deal. We call him the Wriglar
19:28
Speaker 4: now for multiple reasons. Part of it is his last
19:31
Speaker 4: name is Riggleman. A big deal. You know, he was
19:35
Speaker 4: right there on the isle. And if you talk about
19:38
Speaker 4: prime real estate in the political world, that is Washington,
19:43
Speaker 4: d C. As craven and as shallow as it is.
19:47
Speaker 4: The most prime of all prime real estate is on
19:51
Speaker 4: the isle during the State of the Union because the
19:54
Speaker 4: president will stop and shake your hand. So if you're
19:58
Speaker 4: in the president's political party, you want to be sitting
20:01
Speaker 4: on the isle, and that means you've got some important
20:04
Speaker 4: legislation or your your vote is going to be coveted
20:07
Speaker 4: by the Party and everything. Oh I remember the regular
20:10
Speaker 4: was just huge pictures of him, you know, glad handing
20:14
Speaker 4: and having a warm embrace with the President Trump. And
20:18
Speaker 4: then as soon as he lost his re election campaign
20:21
Speaker 4: in primary, he turned on the party, Trump everybody, and
20:25
Speaker 4: he just went scorched to earth on it and now
20:28
Speaker 4: endorses Abigail Spanberger, who will be delivering the opposition party response,
20:35
Speaker 4: which I kind of get, but there's nothing in the
20:39
Speaker 4: US Constitution that says the opposition party gets. And I
20:46
Speaker 4: was just reading a piece. Associated Press did a whole
20:50
Speaker 4: piece on all the different states doing their redistricting, and
20:55
Speaker 4: it's driven by Virginia because Virginia's got this fanciful part
20:59
Speaker 4: of having to do a constitutional amendment change. And then
21:10
Speaker 4: you've got Colorado still looking for a ballot initiative would authorize,
21:16
Speaker 4: so that Colorado's kind of in the same place Virginia is.
21:24
Speaker 4: But then Ron DeSantis wants Florida to jump in on it.
21:29
Speaker 4: North Carolina has already done it, Ohio has already done it.
21:35
Speaker 4: Texas obviously started the whole thing. But the idea of
21:42
Speaker 4: what is required by the US Constitution, of what is important,
21:46
Speaker 4: I'm going to get into that with you, because we've
21:48
Speaker 4: discovered here in Virginia that the Democrats that wrote a
21:52
Speaker 4: new map that's supposedly going to give them a ten
21:55
Speaker 4: to one majority already had the candidates chosen for those districts.

28:20
Speaker 4: Yeah, there it is, or more like thud, there it is.
28:27
Speaker 4: Party people need I remind you the two greatest generals
28:32
Speaker 4: in the history of mankind left us with seminal warnings
28:36
Speaker 4: about things, and the first of those two greatest generals
28:40
Speaker 4: in the history of mankind, said and I quote upon
28:44
Speaker 4: leaving the public stage. However, political parties may now and
28:49
Speaker 4: then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course
28:52
Speaker 4: of time and things, to become potent engines by which cunning, ambitious,
28:58
Speaker 4: and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power
29:02
Speaker 4: of the people and usurp for themselves the reigns of government,
29:07
Speaker 4: destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to
29:11
Speaker 4: unjust dominion. The country, the United States of America, had
29:17
Speaker 4: existed for all of eight years at that point, Congress, Senate,
29:24
Speaker 4: you know, Supreme Court. Eight years, and Washington was already
29:31
Speaker 4: warning about this. We hadn't even begun to talk about
29:35
Speaker 4: gerrymandering yet. Eldridge Jerry didn't even exist at the time.
29:42
Speaker 4: If you said something about jerry mandering, it probably involved
29:45
Speaker 4: Hessian troops. But the danger of partisan faction to the
29:56
Speaker 4: point where just eight years prior to this this letter
30:00
Speaker 4: being written to the American people, George Mason, when asked
30:06
Speaker 4: what would be the ten most or twelve most important
30:09
Speaker 4: things we needed to do to protect the rights of
30:12
Speaker 4: the individual over a centralized government. The first, the most
30:19
Speaker 4: pre eminent one he put in was that congressional districts
30:23
Speaker 4: should not exceed fifty thousand persons each. The most important
30:31
Speaker 4: thing to the founding fathers. They didn't pass that one,
30:39
Speaker 4: so they jumped onto free speech and no government church,
30:43
Speaker 4: that kind of stuff. But pre eminent more important than
30:47
Speaker 4: free speech in the minds of the founders was that
30:49
Speaker 4: your right to representation stayed close to you. Current congressional
30:58
Speaker 4: districts top out near eight hundred thousand residents each. Yeah, yeah,
31:04
Speaker 4: I know what that means. But look at Parliament for
31:07
Speaker 4: a second in England, and I know this becomes a
31:10
Speaker 4: hot button topic with folks. Look at New Hampshire. I
31:14
Speaker 4: guess New Hampshire has something like four hundred members of
31:18
Speaker 4: its state House.
31:20
Speaker 2: Just New Hampshire.
31:21
Speaker 4: We have four hundred and thirty four here in the
31:24
Speaker 4: whole United States, they have four hundred in New Hampshire.
31:29
Speaker 4: State police get paid, teachers get paid, roads get paved.
31:35
Speaker 4: But you know what else, People in each one of
31:38
Speaker 4: these districts feel like there's a chance your representative will
31:44
Speaker 4: make a decision based on actually maybe even oh, I
31:47
Speaker 4: don't know, meeting you, talking to you, the possibility of
31:51
Speaker 4: a political party outside of Republican slash Democrat, shades of
31:57
Speaker 4: Fabian red, dark red Fabian Republicans bluish Fabian Democrats, all
32:06
Speaker 4: from the Fabian school, all know the secret handshake and
32:09
Speaker 4: the fight song and root for the same college football
32:13
Speaker 4: team is the Fabian School Division III. Oh, they don't
32:18
Speaker 4: play football because it's all They all just end in
32:21
Speaker 4: a tie. I got you, so so these folks who
32:28
Speaker 4: divvy up the pie, you get yours, I get mine,
32:31
Speaker 4: and we'll make somebody else, maybe our grandkids pay for it,
32:36
Speaker 4: especially bad after COVID. I mean, there used to be
32:41
Speaker 4: a kabuki theater regarding spending. But if you had congressional
32:46
Speaker 4: and we were just going through the list of all
32:48
Speaker 4: the places talking about redistricting, this wouldn't be a thing. Texas,
32:52
Speaker 4: Florida is Does Ron DeSantis have the constitutional right to
32:57
Speaker 4: call a general Assembly session in April? Missouri? My keyho
33:05
Speaker 4: wants a revised House map. Maryland, Maryland, who recently had
33:12
Speaker 4: a Republican governor, which means there's enough Republicans in Maryland
33:18
Speaker 4: to elect a governor statewide, would have zero Republican majority
33:26
Speaker 4: congressional districts under their attempt at redistricting. Under wes, I'm
33:31
Speaker 4: not invited more. And of course Virginia here where there
33:37
Speaker 4: are court proceedings stopping unconstitutional attempts at calling a vote
33:43
Speaker 4: for something that they don't have the laws on their
33:46
Speaker 4: side to call the vote for. But you know, Eric
33:48
Speaker 4: Holder spent a lot of money in the States, so
33:51
Speaker 4: and who wouldn't be a little afraid of Eric Holder
33:54
Speaker 4: when he starts throwing money around. Who knows indictments might
33:58
Speaker 4: come next? Polled on by Rono College here in Virginia
34:05
Speaker 4: said and this is the Trump effect. This is what
34:08
Speaker 4: this is why the media has to be on an
34:11
Speaker 4: unending loop of attacking Donald Trump. Sixty two percent of
34:20
Speaker 4: the respondents of this polled on by Rono College's Policy Center,
34:26
Speaker 4: said that they support Virginia's process to special Master or
34:32
Speaker 4: nonpartisan redistricting commission once every ten years. That's they support that. However,
34:39
Speaker 4: when asked if it came to a vote, fifty two
34:42
Speaker 4: percent said they would vote to keep the system, and
34:45
Speaker 4: forty four percent, up from thirty four percent, said sure,
34:49
Speaker 4: I'd vote to temporarily suspend the Virginia Constitution to get
34:53
Speaker 4: Trump because it's the Trump effect. Ten percentage points on
34:59
Speaker 4: this Virginia p that that people who said, I believe
35:04
Speaker 4: in Virginia's constitutional protection of my rights to sovereignty. But
35:11
Speaker 4: when Trump's involved, Chad tear up the constitution. That's why
35:15
Speaker 4: it's an unending loop of anti Trump rhetoric. And you
35:21
Speaker 4: see the mathematics of it, that's a ten percent swing
35:24
Speaker 4: of the same eight hundred people. Because Trump is involved
35:29
Speaker 4: in the second question, they change their vote. Andy's on
35:35
Speaker 4: the line and in Florida there at four three four
35:37
Speaker 4: eight A two four two one seven. Good morning, Andy,
35:40
Speaker 4: how are you, sir?
35:41
Speaker 1: I'm doing great, another day above the above the dirt.
35:45
Speaker 1: I guess that you're trying to save a little bit
35:47
Speaker 1: of the constitution that's left.
35:49
Speaker 4: Amen to that.
35:50
Speaker 1: You know, Desantus has done some interesting things here. You
35:53
Speaker 1: know the the money follows the child in the schools.
35:58
Speaker 4: Yeah, and so you know.
36:00
Speaker 1: That that's about as free market as you could ever
36:02
Speaker 1: get it. He has just helped eliminate the sales tax
36:08
Speaker 1: on rent which we used to charge you did.
36:13
Speaker 4: There was a sales I thought Virginia was nutty cuckoo
36:16
Speaker 4: with some of the things they were going to try
36:18
Speaker 4: to attach sales tax to. You were putting sales tax
36:21
Speaker 4: on rent payments.
36:24
Speaker 7: Yes.
36:24
Speaker 1: And one thing, there's a gallery that it's a pretty
36:31
Speaker 1: significant glass on the art gallery that is from just
36:36
Speaker 1: north of Detroit, Michigan. But they do this pop up
36:40
Speaker 1: down here on the Ringling College campus, and the Ringling
36:46
Speaker 1: College you know said about his nutty a leftist encampment.
36:52
Speaker 4: It's a real circus, isn't it.
36:55
Speaker 1: It's really funny. But I've been collecting, you know, glass
36:59
Speaker 1: for a long time, and I bought some amazing things,
37:03
Speaker 1: and I insisted that the gallery adds sales tax. And
37:09
Speaker 1: the lady, who was not the owner but running the gallery,
37:13
Speaker 1: she said, well, most people don't want to pay sales tax,
37:16
Speaker 1: and I said, well, that's how we fund our things
37:19
Speaker 1: here in this state. The other thing that's interesting about
37:23
Speaker 1: Florida is that they have this homesteading thing. So if
37:26
Speaker 1: you buy a home, uh, you know, you're you're locked
37:31
Speaker 1: in kind of it at the yeah, the level of inflation,
37:35
Speaker 1: you know, they can't text from. So I'd pay maybe
37:38
Speaker 1: ten thousand. I don't have to like a silly house
37:40
Speaker 1: down here.
37:41
Speaker 4: So it protects the property value from just going up
37:44
Speaker 4: like crazy when they need it exactly.
37:48
Speaker 2: That's smart.
37:49
Speaker 4: I just did want tax sales right. I thought I
37:54
Speaker 4: was hang on a second because I thought I was
37:56
Speaker 4: crazy about putting sales tax on yard sales.

39:13
Speaker 13: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
39:19
Speaker 13: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
39:23
Speaker 13: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
39:27
Speaker 13: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
39:32
Speaker 13: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
39:37
Speaker 13: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
39:42
Speaker 13: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
39:46
Speaker 13: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

Speaker 29: I think he's gonna make it four three four eight
44:58
Speaker 29: A two four.
44:59
Speaker 4: Two one seven text message Go ahead, Joe, I know
45:03
Speaker 4: you've got to fix in your head for our malaise
45:07
Speaker 4: with our districting. Why don't you go ahead? I know
45:09
Speaker 4: you're trying to oill Andy. Andy was telling us this
45:12
Speaker 4: fancy old tale of Florida, and a text message from
45:15
Speaker 4: down the Treasure Coast listening down there with hamp and
45:19
Speaker 4: John and the folks on WTTV said, Joe, you didn't
45:23
Speaker 4: know they taxed rent here? No.
45:26
Speaker 6: I did.
45:27
Speaker 4: When they proposed some of the things they wanted to
45:30
Speaker 4: do in Virginia, I thought that was crazy, nuts, cuckoo.
45:34
Speaker 4: They wanted to tax your tax preparation. They wanted to
45:37
Speaker 4: detax the rent you were going to pay on a
45:40
Speaker 4: storage locker. And I made the presumption, then why stop there?
45:43
Speaker 4: Why don't you just tax the rent I pay to
45:46
Speaker 4: the apartment complex. I didn't realize there was precedent in
45:50
Speaker 4: the Sunshine State.
45:51
Speaker 1: So we have You know, if you just think about
45:54
Speaker 1: the velocity of the money as being fifty two times
45:59
Speaker 1: a year and the constitutional amount right now that you
46:05
Speaker 1: know that you can give to somebody else. It's not constitutional,
46:08
Speaker 1: but the current law allows you to give like nineteen
46:12
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, right, yeah, convert them to like constitutional silver
46:19
Speaker 1: as yours, and then just volunteer your labor if you will,
46:24
Speaker 1: and so everybody has, you know, kind of a volunteer economy.
46:29
Speaker 4: Well that's interesting because our friend Joel Salaton, the rogue Farmer,
46:35
Speaker 4: just back from the Rogue Farmer's Conference, I guess it
46:39
Speaker 4: was early this month, and he goes around the country whatever,
46:43
Speaker 4: your rogue farm conference, and there are so many ways
46:47
Speaker 4: to say, you know, if you're looking for you know,
46:49
Speaker 4: a whole direct from the cow milk, you know, whole eggs,
46:53
Speaker 4: that kind of thing that you know, trying to circumvent
46:55
Speaker 4: all these government overlays, they've got some creative ways in
46:59
Speaker 4: a sounds just like what you're talking about with that
47:02
Speaker 4: that you know, convert to silver and then just.
47:06
Speaker 1: Great, dude. I met him the first time at Ed
47:10
Speaker 1: Griffin's first Red Pill expo.
47:13
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, Joel is amazing there.
47:18
Speaker 1: Just got that one, you know, nearly had pardon twenty
47:24
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand, yeah, balance.
47:28
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, right off the bad McCall off Terry mcauff. Yeah,
47:31
Speaker 4: I gotta love Terry for that. But the idea, so so,
47:35
Speaker 4: just get a disbursement a gift of nineteen thousand dollars
47:40
Speaker 4: in silver and gifted and then just volunteer to work
47:46
Speaker 4: for me. That's an interesting concept. I'm going to have
47:49
Speaker 4: to dig into that legally. There are wonder if it
47:52
Speaker 4: works for radio advertising too, Like you know, I would
47:55
Speaker 4: run public service messages for your business and you would
47:58
Speaker 4: just gift me money, you know, up to nineteen thousand
48:03
Speaker 4: that would pay my rent and the taxes on it too.
48:06
Speaker 4: My god. There so the question, and I know you
48:10
Speaker 4: know where I was.
48:10
Speaker 2: Going with it.
48:11
Speaker 4: I know nothing that you know that I know that
48:13
Speaker 4: you know regarding districting and the reason I brought up
48:20
Speaker 4: George Mason's original plan. So think about a world and
48:25
Speaker 4: I know that it's conceptually weird, but look at England.
48:29
Speaker 4: Look at England and Nigel Farage and now you've got
48:33
Speaker 4: his Reform Party has won enough seats for people to
48:38
Speaker 4: start feeling like you're not living up to what we said.
48:45
Speaker 4: You told us you were going to do these things
48:47
Speaker 4: and we voted for you, And I mean he's on
48:49
Speaker 4: the cost. If another parliamentary election in England, I think
48:54
Speaker 4: Nigel Farage becomes Prime Minister, but the Reform Party that
49:02
Speaker 4: he started is already starting to waiver. And there's apparently
49:07
Speaker 4: now a new movement in the UK called the Restore Party,
49:13
Speaker 4: and the Restore Party is all the things that the
49:21
Speaker 4: Reform Party said they wanted to do and their campaign
49:25
Speaker 4: promises will actually do it, and apparently they've been talking
49:30
Speaker 4: to this guy. I don't know if you like cars
49:32
Speaker 4: or car TV shows, but this guy who is a
49:35
Speaker 4: notable car reviewer if you will, or whatever, Jeremy Clarkson,
49:43
Speaker 4: he bought a farm and turned it into a TV show.
49:46
Speaker 4: I'm sure it was a TV show before it was
49:48
Speaker 4: an actual farm that he owned. But in his efforts
49:51
Speaker 4: to try to run this farm as part of a
49:54
Speaker 4: reality TV show, he's become a huge activist like Joel
49:59
Speaker 4: Salatin on the plight of the farmer under the yoke
50:03
Speaker 4: of the government and the apparently this Restore Party, but
50:07
Speaker 4: they can win seats. And the point I'm making is
50:09
Speaker 4: that in parliament, in the British Parliament, which is almost
50:13
Speaker 4: as I think it's got more members than the US
50:17
Speaker 4: Congress for a far smaller country, you have upstart political
50:23
Speaker 4: parties like Reform, which apparently has gotten out over its ski.
50:28
Speaker 4: Sorry Nigel, I like Nigel for a lot of what
50:31
Speaker 4: he says, but this Reform Party has fallen prey to
50:36
Speaker 4: what happens to political parties. But because the House of
50:40
Speaker 4: Commons in England is so large, there's so many members.
50:45
Speaker 4: I think Liz Trust still has a seat in Parliament.
50:48
Speaker 4: Even though she lost her election as Prime Minister, she
50:53
Speaker 4: still gets to keep her seat representing her district. You
51:01
Speaker 4: can have upstart parties win and get enough seats to
51:06
Speaker 4: actually sway power. And if the Restore Party pulls enough
51:11
Speaker 4: seats from the Tories and the Labor then they've got
51:14
Speaker 4: to form a coalition because then you get a voice.
51:18
Speaker 4: And we could have the same thing here if we
51:20
Speaker 4: could get rid of the racially motivated anti black Democrat
51:27
Speaker 4: ramrodded nineteen twenty nine Act for Permanent Reapportionment. Now I'm
51:31
Speaker 4: not saying go to what George Mason proposed, fifty thousand
51:37
Speaker 4: citizens per seat, but even if we just went back
51:42
Speaker 4: to the apportionments that there was in nineteen twenty nine.
51:46
Speaker 2: And remember this law was written so.
51:48
Speaker 4: That they could break up black communities because black communities
51:56
Speaker 4: were becoming prosperous enough despite all the Jim Crow laws.
52:01
Speaker 4: States like Oklahoma see the Black Wall Street debacle, had
52:09
Speaker 4: grown wealthy enough. They had their own rothschilds, and they
52:13
Speaker 4: had their own banking systems and they had their own wealth,
52:16
Speaker 4: and damn it, Dixiecrats were not for that, and they
52:19
Speaker 4: were getting seats in Congress, so they voted for this
52:23
Speaker 4: Permanent Reapportionment Act that allowed them to break up black communities,
52:31
Speaker 4: get rid of that go back. I think it was
52:33
Speaker 4: somewhere around two hundred thousand people per district at the time. Yeah,
52:38
Speaker 4: and that means we're tripling the size of Congress. But
52:42
Speaker 4: we could actually get political parties from various regions and
52:46
Speaker 4: upstart political parties and different libertarian might win a seat.
52:54
Speaker 26: Hi, I'm Mark Falter with the Financial Fitness Show. Have
