Speaker 2: ever been.
0:07
Speaker 3: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Tunk
0:12
Speaker 3: Media Network by Joe Tellas.
0:34
Speaker 4: Thank you for letting us be of service to you.
0:36
Speaker 4: Four three four eight eight two four to two one
0:39
Speaker 4: seven is the important hotline you're gonna need. It's content
0:43
Speaker 4: creators hotline, right, so all the cool kids are online.
0:47
Speaker 4: I'm a content creator. Well, you're a content creator too,
0:50
Speaker 4: and you needed to apply for no grants from any
0:53
Speaker 4: of your local, state or federal government offices. Just call in,
0:58
Speaker 4: share your thoughts on how the news of the day
1:01
Speaker 4: is impacting you. Or you can text message, because mornings
1:05
Speaker 4: are that suppository of all last minute things left to
1:11
Speaker 4: now because now is the last minute. I'll tell you
1:16
Speaker 4: what went on. I'll tell you to give you my
1:18
Speaker 4: analysis of it as well, but you can share your
1:20
Speaker 4: thoughts and dreams as well at that hotline. Ceasefire in
1:26
Speaker 4: Iran Eleventh Hour. Iran agrees to a cease fire for
1:31
Speaker 4: our friends listening on WGH and Greenwich. So proud you
1:35
Speaker 4: must be. Chris Murphy, playing the role of Hanoi Jane
1:40
Speaker 4: uses his social media accounts to share the announcement of
1:45
Speaker 4: the ceasefire from the Iranian perspective as saying that President
1:52
Speaker 4: Trump has unilaterally surrendered the Strait of Hormuze to the
1:57
Speaker 4: Iranian government. I guess, Chris Murphy, he doesn't have a
2:01
Speaker 4: map anywhere around. Chris Murphy CT is the handle on
2:06
Speaker 4: social media if you want to make yourself have aja
2:10
Speaker 4: to this morning. It appears Trump just agreed to give
2:13
Speaker 4: Iran control the Strait of hor Moves, a history changing
2:18
Speaker 4: win for Iran. They already have control over it. The
2:23
Speaker 4: level of incompetence Chris Murphy blusters on is both stunning
2:29
Speaker 4: and heartbreaking. And then he posts the message from Abbas Arachi,
2:37
Speaker 4: the Foreign Affairs Minister, or we like to call him
2:41
Speaker 4: Tehran Terry here on this program. So it's good to
2:46
Speaker 4: see that the Iranian government has a voice box to
2:50
Speaker 4: get out their message there, so that nobody can be
2:53
Speaker 4: left wondering what the Iranians are thinking as the ceasefire
2:58
Speaker 4: gets announced. Let's get into the ceasefire. It's a two
3:05
Speaker 4: weeks ceasefire, and here are some of the details. In
3:11
Speaker 4: first thing this morning, the Iranians are claiming they will
3:18
Speaker 4: continue to charge tolls for ships passing through the Strait
3:22
Speaker 4: of Hormuz. President Trump suggested on social media that American
3:27
Speaker 4: warships will quote be hanging around the waterway to make
3:30
Speaker 4: sure that there is safe passage. But that is key
3:34
Speaker 4: to the ceasefire. Iran stops firing missiles and stops threatening
3:38
Speaker 4: ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, we are now
3:43
Speaker 4: finding out we don't know who made this deal because
3:45
Speaker 4: according to a report in the London news outlet The Times,
3:51
Speaker 4: based on Israeli intelligence, that they've come into possession of
3:56
Speaker 4: Mojaka Khameny, as we like to call him here Atola
4:00
Speaker 4: Junior is not conscious. He is under medical care. It's
4:05
Speaker 4: not sure if it's a medically induced coma or not,
4:09
Speaker 4: but is in severe condition. In the Holy City of
4:12
Speaker 4: comm oil prices plunged fifteen percent. Stock futures jumped. Gold
4:19
Speaker 4: price is jumped on news of the ceasefire. Gold futures,
4:23
Speaker 4: according to jcsgold dot Com, up nearly one hundred dollars.
4:28
Speaker 4: An ounce. For our friends listening in Dalton, Georgia, you
4:32
Speaker 4: have ANUE Congressman Clay Fuller won the special election to
4:37
Speaker 4: fill the House seat in Northwest Georgia that had been
4:40
Speaker 4: represented by Marjorie Taylor Green. President Trump endorsed the candidate
4:45
Speaker 4: and he won by twelve percentage points. Congressman Eric Swalwell
4:50
Speaker 4: was in Sacramento yesterday beginning his campaign for governor of California.
4:56
Speaker 4: The June second primary is crowded full of Democrats and
4:59
Speaker 4: mail in ballots start to go out in just a
5:02
Speaker 4: few weeks after the event. Swallowell broke his silence on
5:06
Speaker 4: allegations of sexual misconduct and NDAs on female staffers, calling
5:12
Speaker 4: them false, saying there has never been an allegation and
5:15
Speaker 4: there's never been a settlement. Ford Motor Company recalling more
5:20
Speaker 4: than four hundred thousand Ford Expedition and Lincoln navigators and
5:25
Speaker 4: a range of F series Super duty trunks made between
5:29
Speaker 4: twenty twenty one and twenty twenty three because of windshield
5:34
Speaker 4: wiper arms that break, causing a chance of visibility issues
5:39
Speaker 4: and deer in company has agreed to pay ninety nine
5:42
Speaker 4: million dollars as part of a settlement that would resolve
5:45
Speaker 4: the class action lawsuit against the company for its inability
5:51
Speaker 4: to repair. On your own case, and those are some
5:54
Speaker 4: of our first things this morning. Not entirely unlike mel
6:00
Speaker 4: Brooks in history of the World Part one. We're going
6:03
Speaker 4: to get to play Caesar's Palace on July eighth, and
6:07
Speaker 4: they love a mountain comic there. In this case it's
6:09
Speaker 4: the Blue Rage Mountains. As we bring First Thing Today

13:12
Speaker 3: On a need to know basis, because you need to

Speaker 3: know the first thing today.
13:17
Speaker 17: I tola good news. The tola good news. He got
13:21
Speaker 17: to meet his seventy two versins. The bad news is
13:25
Speaker 17: all of them are Nick Fuentes.
13:44
Speaker 4: Thank you for letting us be of service to you.
13:47
Speaker 4: Get the nose. Get the nose. For those who remember Sleeper,
13:52
Speaker 4: I have told of Junior apparently. I'm getting confirmation though
13:57
Speaker 4: from overseas that it's a medically induced coma that they're
14:00
Speaker 4: holding him in. I had heard he was in the
14:05
Speaker 4: care of the Russian medical system, which is we know,
14:09
Speaker 4: saved so many of their Soviet premiers' lives back in
14:13
Speaker 4: the day, or at least gave them time to prepare
14:16
Speaker 4: for the state funeral. But now is back in Iran
14:22
Speaker 4: under a medically induced coma due to injuries he suffered there. So,
14:28
Speaker 4: Nick Fuentes, I guess awaits as Ted Cruz said to
14:31
Speaker 4: us there, And so I don't know who's in charge.
14:34
Speaker 4: I don't know who cut the deal. From what I gather,
14:40
Speaker 4: the committee of experts after the initial bombing raid killed
14:46
Speaker 4: Ayatola Senior chose to pick somebody to run the country
14:54
Speaker 4: that was completely incapacitated, incapable of making any decisions, executive
14:59
Speaker 4: to decisions or anything like that, and then has been
15:04
Speaker 4: running everything from behind him ever since. Thank goodness, nothing
15:10
Speaker 4: like that would ever happen here in this country. Joel
15:14
Speaker 4: is on the line with us. I'm sorry, I can't
15:17
Speaker 4: get through that story with a straight face, because that
15:20
Speaker 4: would never happen in this country. We'd never get a
15:23
Speaker 4: shadowy group of people that nobody knows who they are,
15:26
Speaker 4: picking a leader that's incapacitated, uh to run their country.
15:30
Speaker 4: That would never happen here, right, chel.
15:33
Speaker 18: Oh, I understand. We had we had the we had
15:36
Speaker 18: the walking zombie.
15:38
Speaker 4: That's right. But he was he was he was in
15:40
Speaker 4: a medically induced non coma. There, hang on one, seing
15:44
Speaker 4: and we get line two picked up so that they
15:46
Speaker 4: don't hang up on us. I'll get comments from them.
15:48
Speaker 4: Good morning. Who's this, hey, Clark. I'm on the line
15:53
Speaker 4: with Joel ahead of you, So hang on the line
15:55
Speaker 4: a second. All right, okay, so Joel, you have the war.
16:00
Speaker 4: The floor recognizes the delegate from Arizona, and how are
16:04
Speaker 4: you doing this morning?
16:06
Speaker 19: Good?
16:06
Speaker 4: How are you?
16:07
Speaker 18: I'm up a little bit early, of course.
16:09
Speaker 4: But you know, you know, just to get there early
16:12
Speaker 4: and uh. And then you know everyone else is like, gosh,
16:14
Speaker 4: how Joel gets so much more done than us?
16:19
Speaker 18: I just want to go back to Koreem. I think
16:21
Speaker 18: he made some good ud points. And the reason why
16:27
Speaker 18: I'm saying the reason why I'm saying this is because
16:31
Speaker 18: America used to take the raw material and refine it
16:36
Speaker 18: and then produce it, and it doesn't matter.
16:39
Speaker 4: With oil.
16:39
Speaker 18: We we were the we were the producers and the finishers,
16:43
Speaker 18: right and now we have people. Now we have people
16:45
Speaker 18: finishing our goods, finishing our products because if you notice
16:50
Speaker 18: a lot of the products say made and made parts
16:54
Speaker 18: made in America, partially manufact settled in so so I
17:00
Speaker 18: think part of it too is that we do that
17:03
Speaker 18: with our military, or we've done it with our military.
17:06
Speaker 18: Where we go in, we we take place, not that
17:08
Speaker 18: we want to be occupiers, but we want to make
17:11
Speaker 18: sure we have functional bearing there in order to not
17:15
Speaker 18: just for ourselves, but for for worldwide. And in the
17:19
Speaker 18: sense that I know President Trump doesn't want to have
17:24
Speaker 18: we want to America first, but generally it's speaking with him,
17:28
Speaker 18: it's America first and wants to make sure that those
17:32
Speaker 18: things are going to be open not just for the world,
17:34
Speaker 18: but for America first. And I think that's what he
17:37
Speaker 18: is seeing in this area. And I didn't realize that
17:41
Speaker 18: a lot of the oil was you know, refined for
17:43
Speaker 18: gasoline and then brought back here.
17:46
Speaker 4: So and that's the green Those are the greenies of
17:49
Speaker 4: our parents generation that stopped making you know, oil refineries
17:55
Speaker 4: in this country and started closing them down. This is
17:57
Speaker 4: this is existential. What's going to happen at the far
18:01
Speaker 4: end of these green agenda shut down all the electric
18:05
Speaker 4: generation facilities, So we started shutting down oil refineries because well,
18:09
Speaker 4: you know, they made you know, awkward, you know looking skylines,
18:14
Speaker 4: and people just presumed they were dirty. And partially it
18:20
Speaker 4: was due to the oil crisis of the seventies where
18:23
Speaker 4: OPEC started to restrict all the oil imports and exports,
18:28
Speaker 4: and so a lot of these refineries struggled and never
18:32
Speaker 4: reopened because the greenies in these states didn't want them,
18:38
Speaker 4: didn't want them back. We don't like refineries. They are
18:41
Speaker 4: They tend to have an aroma. If you've been in
18:46
Speaker 4: North Jersey or Staten Island, you kind of well, Staten
18:49
Speaker 4: Island it's the landfill, but North Jersey you get the
18:52
Speaker 4: aroma of refining oil. It's it's a difficult, but it's
18:57
Speaker 4: a lucrative process. I mean, you imagine there is there
19:03
Speaker 4: are a few miraculous things in the world, but the
19:05
Speaker 4: amount of things that we can do with a gallon
19:08
Speaker 4: of oil is amazing, from the plastics and the physical
19:16
Speaker 4: stuff all the way through kerosene and gasoline and the
19:20
Speaker 4: things that we use to propel ourselves. This is a
19:22
Speaker 4: miracle compound and how many Well that's too true as well.
19:31
Speaker 4: And do you realize how expensive you would have to
19:34
Speaker 4: make a barrel of oil? I mean it's back down.
19:36
Speaker 4: I think it's eighty five dollars a barrel right now,
19:40
Speaker 4: drop fifteen percent after you know, the ceasefire was announced.
19:46
Speaker 4: But do you know how expensive a barrel of oil
19:49
Speaker 4: would have to become in order to just bring equal
19:55
Speaker 4: the green agenda propulsion ideas of ethanol and all these
20:01
Speaker 4: other things. You know how expensive it would have to
20:03
Speaker 4: be Joel.
20:05
Speaker 18: I'd say two hundred, three hundred dollars a.
20:07
Speaker 4: Barrel, not even close. It's got to be close to
20:09
Speaker 4: one thousand dollars barrel in order to push us to
20:13
Speaker 4: the things to where the green agenda products start to
20:19
Speaker 4: pencil out as more economically viable. So you know, oil oil,
20:23
Speaker 4: crude oil would have to be ten times more expensive.
20:28
Speaker 18: But yo, China and Russia are pushing the green agenda.
20:32
Speaker 18: Of course they want us to implode, right, and the
20:35
Speaker 18: and the ignorant, ignorant blue hairs, and the people that
20:39
Speaker 18: lay in the streets, and the people that walk around
20:42
Speaker 18: like that with their cell phone cases and their cells
20:45
Speaker 18: don't understand where the oil come? What about the what
20:48
Speaker 18: about the dye that you put in your hair and
20:50

29:16
Speaker 4: Dan sends in a graphic. I don't know if he
29:19
Speaker 4: made it himself in photoshop or whatever it is or
29:22
Speaker 4: wood shop for a worries, but it's a photograph of
29:26
Speaker 4: Jill Biden and a bunch of people. I think one
29:29
Speaker 4: of them is Valerie Jarrett, another one is I'm tempted
29:35
Speaker 4: to say it's one of his spokespeople. And then you
29:40
Speaker 4: had Karine Jean Pierre also there, and his Council of
29:45
Speaker 4: Experts picks incapacitated man to lead national power. Yeah, that's
29:53
Speaker 4: it though, that's the question, you know. So apparently the
29:55
Speaker 4: Council of Experts in Iran picked somebody who was completely
29:59
Speaker 4: physically incapable and cognitively incapable of running Iran and put
30:05
Speaker 4: him in charge because that would never happen in the
30:08
Speaker 4: United States there. But you know, we wish God's speed
30:11
Speaker 4: and he gets to whatever kind of virgins he's looking
30:15
Speaker 4: for when he gets there. Doctor Clark was hanging on
30:18
Speaker 4: the line with us when we were talking with Joel.
30:20
Speaker 4: I do want to get back to the barrels of
30:23
Speaker 4: oil and why is it while we're drilled baby, because
30:26
Speaker 4: that's the part that everyone's itchy about. Well, we've been
30:28
Speaker 4: doing all the drill baby built. President Trump even said,
30:31
Speaker 4: we've got plenty of oil. We don't refine it. And
30:35
Speaker 4: that's the problem. We told you the story just three
30:38
Speaker 4: months ago or so of a refinal first refinery since
30:42
Speaker 4: the eighties I think, opening in the United States and
30:45
Speaker 4: starting to refine crude oil into gasoline. There. That's our problem.
30:51
Speaker 4: It's it's refined, baby, refined. But the greedies don't like
30:56
Speaker 4: that because they still think it's like, oh, we take
30:59
Speaker 4: a Bruce Spinks Dean song and I don't like that.
31:01
Speaker 4: I'm against it. It makes me money. And of course
31:04
Speaker 4: then China gives them tons of money to support their cause.
31:08
Speaker 11: Uh.
31:08
Speaker 4: They are just like they used to do back in
31:10
Speaker 4: the anti war movement. And so anyway, doctor Clark, that's
31:14
Speaker 4: where we are as we sit. Thank you for joining
31:16
Speaker 4: us in progress down there in Alabama. What's going on?
31:21
Speaker 24: Well in the vein of in search of more perfect speech?
31:27
Speaker 24: In reference to aj I told JR. Uh huh, let's
31:32
Speaker 24: call him in a kinetically induced coma.
31:38
Speaker 4: An americanly induced.
31:39
Speaker 24: Coma, kinetically induced?
31:43
Speaker 4: Okay, kinetic energies. What put him in a coma? Joe?
31:46
Speaker 24: That when you get a big bomb, that's a kinetic thing. Okay, okay,
31:52
Speaker 24: So he's in a kinetically induced coma. Best wishes to

32:02
Speaker 4: Thank you, Steve Martin.
32:04
Speaker 24: Yes, he would not lie to me. I just think
32:07
Speaker 24: they remember born in Arizona, moved to Babylona.
32:10
Speaker 4: King Tutt So.
32:13
Speaker 24: There, and you know Eric Swallwell, the long knives are
32:22
Speaker 24: out there now, Joe.
32:24
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and they're coming from Democrats.
32:27
Speaker 24: Well, yes, yes, yes, he was useful, and when he
32:31
Speaker 24: was useful, they protected him. What happens when you're no
32:37
Speaker 24: longer useful.
32:38
Speaker 4: Joe, what do you become expendable? Useless or that, I
32:44
Speaker 4: guess is a nicer word. Human Resources said, you know,
32:48
Speaker 4: said I should use the word expendable because useless makes
32:51
Speaker 4: people feel bad.
32:53
Speaker 24: Well, yeah, well that's what they do when you're uselesses
32:56
Speaker 24: that make you feel bad.
32:59
Speaker 4: Truth.
33:00
Speaker 24: You know, the example of Boxer and Animal Farm was
33:03
Speaker 24: a pretty good one. And as I look at what
33:05
Speaker 24: they're fixing to do to Eric, I keep thinking of
33:09
Speaker 24: Terry Malone to Johnny Friendly and on the Waterfront. You
33:15
Speaker 24: give it to Joey, you give it to Dougan, you
33:18
Speaker 24: give it to Charlie, who was one of your own.
33:23
Speaker 24: Do you remember that scene?
33:25
Speaker 4: Yeah? Again, it's been a long time, you know, I
33:27
Speaker 4: don't get turn your classic movies on my subscription service,
33:31
Speaker 4: so I don't see a lot of.
33:32
Speaker 24: Those speeches in that one that I've just got permanently
33:35
Speaker 24: shared in my memory.
33:37
Speaker 4: Yeah.
33:39
Speaker 24: And then the last thing, on all these predictions from
33:43
Speaker 24: the left on Trump's failure, the doom and gloom, et cetera,
33:50
Speaker 24: et cetera, I remember what Jiminy Cricket said a dream
33:55
Speaker 24: was Joe, that's a wish your heart so while you're sleeping.
34:03
Speaker 24: That's what I think in most of their predictions of
34:05
Speaker 24: doom and gloom, well.
34:08
Speaker 4: You see, and some people and my wife included bless
34:13
Speaker 4: our heart will often chasten us for quote preaching to
34:20
Speaker 4: the choir. But I don't think so. Because I run
34:23
Speaker 4: into people who are not politically active or even partisan
34:28
Speaker 4: to the conservative side. They tune in because I think
34:32
Speaker 4: we give a fair reading to the story. I'm not
34:36
Speaker 4: going to tell you, I know Eric Swalwell did it.
34:39
Speaker 4: We've watched people, you know undergo as you mentioned the
34:42
Speaker 4: character assassination, that kind of thing. Because I want everyone
34:46
Speaker 4: to listen because I think we have better ideas. And
34:49
Speaker 4: if nobody's listening except people who already share our ideas,
34:53
Speaker 4: then what's the point. And believe me, our ideas are
34:58
Speaker 4: as they used to say, safe enough active if that helps,
35:03
Speaker 4: But you know the idea that there is, you know,
35:10
Speaker 4: a political gain. And we're going to talk to a
35:12
Speaker 4: guy who used to be a leading Democrat until they
35:16
Speaker 4: ran him out of his party because he said locking
35:19
Speaker 4: everyone down and keeping them home because of COVID was
35:23
Speaker 4: stupid and it wasn't helping and it was actually hurting kids.
35:26
Speaker 4: And for that the Democratic Party ran him out of
35:30
Speaker 4: that party. He's written a book, it's called Rebels. He's still,
35:35
Speaker 4: you know, out there plugging away, is still a Democrat.
35:38
Speaker 4: He's I still, you know, believe in my party. I
35:41
Speaker 4: just can't find anyone in it anymore who thinks the
35:44
Speaker 4: same way I did. These are not your parents' democrats.
35:47
Speaker 4: These are the Marxists. These are the folks who have
35:52
Speaker 4: grown tired of waiting for the Fabian socialism to finally
35:56
Speaker 4: take full effect. And they're like, the hell with it,
35:59
Speaker 4: give me my pitchfork, get me a torch, and we're
36:02
Speaker 4: going to have a revolution. And they've gotten tired of
36:05
Speaker 4: waiting for the long con. Because the joy of the
36:10
Speaker 4: long con that the Fabian Marxists have been going on
36:12
Speaker 4: is is when you catch them, they have to stop
36:15
Speaker 4: and kind of reset and go backwards and and try
36:19
Speaker 4: to march forward from that. And the Marxist revolutionaries have
36:23
Speaker 4: grown tired of it. And that's, you know, we really
36:26
Speaker 4: should be welcoming some of these folks in Trump was
36:29
Speaker 4: one of them. Trump was a Democrat. Most of his life.
36:33
Speaker 24: We're just going right back to Terry alone, maybe from
36:37
Speaker 24: where you stand, but I'm standing over here.
36:39
Speaker 4: Now, Yeah, that's it.
36:43
Speaker 24: Hey, let's back up to preaching to the choir for
36:46
Speaker 24: just one second, Joe. Yeah, let's change that preaching to
36:50
Speaker 24: the congregation, because that's probably more accurate. And that's what
36:55
Speaker 24: happens every Sunday. But and you know the people in
37:01
Speaker 24: the congregation, they're already there, right, uh huh, So why
37:05
Speaker 24: preach to them because hopefully they'll evangelicalize the message and go.
37:14
Speaker 4: Spread that at least by example.
37:19
Speaker 24: That's what we hope happens with the talk radio, isn't it.
37:23
Speaker 24: Do we try, We try, it becomes like the East
37:27
Speaker 24: and the Bread, and it spreads.
37:32
Speaker 4: It has to, because otherwise we have no tool against
37:35
Speaker 4: the Marxist march. Anyway to Clark, come in. Got to
37:38
Speaker 4: pay our electric bills, So we'll talk to you soon,
37:40
Speaker 4: my friend. Take care four three four eight eight two
37:45
Speaker 4: four two one seven. Why are your electric bills going up?
37:48
Speaker 4: The same reason your gas prices are going up? Government regulations,
37:53
Speaker 4: And we told you so. And it's to political peril,
37:57
Speaker 4: you know. And I think some of what's happened to
37:59
Speaker 4: Abigail's band Burger is proof.
38:02

39:13
Speaker 7: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
39:19

39:32
Speaker 7: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
39:37
Speaker 7: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
39:42
Speaker 7: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
39:46
Speaker 7: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

41:24
Speaker 25: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
41:27
Speaker 25: the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets at home,
41:30
Speaker 25: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life
41:33
Speaker 25: saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports.
41:36
Speaker 25: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
41:39
Speaker 25: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
41:42
Speaker 25: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
41:45
Speaker 25: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
41:47
Speaker 25: in need. So please join me an American Humane and
41:50
Speaker 25: supporting our heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals
41:53
Speaker 25: on this planet we inhabit together. Go to American Humane

42:00
Speaker 20: Huh oh bruh, that's buzzed.
42:01
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
42:05
Speaker 8: And now a speech.
42:07
Speaker 2: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
42:10
Speaker 2: heart and brain.
42:12
Speaker 4: Who's with me?
42:13
Speaker 5: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
42:16
Speaker 5: brain is saying when it's time to go home.
42:18
Speaker 15: Somebody call me a ride.
42:20
Speaker 20: Love that guy, me too.
42:21
Speaker 12: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
42:24
Speaker 12: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
42:29
Speaker 13: Did you know that more than half our household energy
42:32
Speaker 13: costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
42:36

42:40
Speaker 13: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home

Speaker 26: As a family member or friend, you may be the
43:33
Speaker 26: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
43:35
Speaker 26: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
43:41

44:11
Speaker 3: From the home of the First Amendment, First thing today.
44:17
Speaker 4: So how do you you know? We've talked about doing
44:20
Speaker 4: this and laying out the stories because most of us
44:25
Speaker 4: agree on most all of these things, and it's the
44:29
Speaker 4: small five to ten percenters that change everything and a
44:33
Speaker 4: guy who stood up against the COVID lockdowns, and it
44:37
Speaker 4: cost him his job. I reached out to former Senator
44:42
Speaker 4: Chap Peterson about the poll numbers we saw Abigail Spanberger,
44:48
Speaker 4: the darling of the Democrat Party, is hemorrhaged the double
44:52
Speaker 4: digits Chap in popularity here. Do you think this has
44:57
Speaker 4: to do with the radical stands she's already taken in Virginia.
45:02
Speaker 27: Yes, I think it was a mistake. I felt like
45:05
Speaker 27: it was really a bad mistake for her to start
45:07
Speaker 27: her administration that way on such a really openly part
45:12
Speaker 27: is an issue, you know. I think when she got started,
45:16
Speaker 27: she ran successfully as a moderate Democrat, someone that is
45:20
Speaker 27: going to work with both sides, work across the aisle.
45:23
Speaker 27: She got elected with a very large majority, which I
45:26
Speaker 27: think reflected that, and she got dragged into this redifferencing
45:30
Speaker 27: issue which she had not run on, shed that had
45:34
Speaker 27: not been part of her platform. And I think that
45:36
Speaker 27: was a mistake.
45:38
Speaker 4: If you had a moment to talk to her, and
45:40
Speaker 4: you may have, can she can she turn on this?
45:44
Speaker 4: It seems like there is such a lockdown. I don't
45:48
Speaker 4: know how this situation has become so untenable where it
45:54
Speaker 4: seems like there's one camp or another and nobody is
45:58
Speaker 4: thinking about the other side very much. Lunch.
46:02
Speaker 27: Well, it's too bad, because you know, when I was
46:04
Speaker 27: in the legislature, and I was in the Senate for
46:07
Speaker 27: sixteen years, and before that the House of Delegates, you know,
46:11
Speaker 27: we had people that prouded themselves on being independents, and
46:15
Speaker 27: you know, I'm a Democrat. I was a Democrat, but
46:17
Speaker 27: I always tried to do what I thought was right.
46:19
Speaker 27: And there were times when you know, I didn't go
46:22
Speaker 27: along with the party, particularly on the COVID nineteen shutdowns.
46:26
Speaker 27: You know, I worked with the Senator Donovan, who was
46:28
Speaker 27: a Republican, to reopen the schools and the mass mandate
46:32
Speaker 27: on kids, and I felt like, you know, I talked
46:35
Speaker 27: to my fellow party members and said, hey, you know,
46:38
Speaker 27: we got to do the right thing. And I think
46:40
Speaker 27: that just there's a lack of people like that in
46:42
Speaker 27: the General Assembly now, and unfortunately that people like Governor Spamberger,
46:48
Speaker 27: I think got painted into a corner. She could have
46:50
Speaker 27: early on said you know what, we're not going to
46:53
Speaker 27: do this, and she could have either vetoed it or
46:55
Speaker 27: just told her party right off the bat, don't pass
46:58
Speaker 27: me this bill, I'm going to veto it, and it
47:01
Speaker 27: just would have ended it right away, and instead she
47:03
Speaker 27: got caught in a situation where I do think it's
47:05
Speaker 27: going to have. It's had a negative effect on her,
47:08
Speaker 27: and the irony is if the redistricting fails, then it'll
47:12
Speaker 27: be an embarrassment, but that's it. But if it succeeds,
47:16
Speaker 27: I think it's going to have a really a permanent
47:18
Speaker 27: division between rural and suburban Virginia. And I think that's
47:23
Speaker 27: just there's gonna be a lot of bitterness, and that's
47:26
Speaker 27: the exact opposite of what you want your first three
47:28
Speaker 27: months in office.
47:29
Speaker 4: So you're thinking the division will flip from Republican Democrat
47:34
Speaker 4: if even such a thing is still real, and it'll
47:38
Speaker 4: become rural regardless of political party versus urban.
47:44
Speaker 27: Well, i'll tell you right right now, I'm driving through
47:46
Speaker 27: Westmoreland County where I had a court appearance right next
47:50
Speaker 27: door in Northumberland, and every other yard has a sign
47:54
Speaker 27: and it says no redistricting. So clearly the people here
47:58
Speaker 27: are motivated. Now this this is a small county. You know,
48:01
Speaker 27: you could probably take forty of these counties and fit
48:03
Speaker 27: it into Fairfax. So I'm not saying that, you know,
48:06
Speaker 27: voter enthusiasm here is going to outweigh the rest of
48:10
Speaker 27: the state.
48:10
Speaker 4: But the bottom line is, people feel very.
48:12
Speaker 27: Strongly that they're going to be disenfranchised by this new
48:15
Speaker 27: redistricting plan and Fairfax is going to dominate the rest
48:19
Speaker 27: of the state. And that was the exact opposite of
48:22
Speaker 27: what was intended in twenty twenty when we passed non
48:24
Speaker 27: partisan redistrict and it was to make sure that everyone
48:27
Speaker 27: got represented.
48:28
Speaker 4: Chad Peterson's great voice for reasonableness of Democrats and one
48:35
Speaker 4: of my favorite chat Thank you, sir. His book is
48:37
Speaker 4: called Rebel. It details how he stood up to the
48:41
Speaker 4: Democratic Party, the party of lockdowns, the party of the incapacitated,
48:46
Speaker 4: one that the Council of Experts chose to run a
48:50
Speaker 4: major world power, very similar to what apparently happened after
48:55
Speaker 4: the bombing in Iran. Chap Ky, bless you, sir. Thank
48:58
Speaker 4: you for joining us on a related story out of Florida.
49:01
Speaker 4: Now you've probably seen these stories in Florida of the
49:06
Speaker 4: frauds being committed by a Congresswoman, Sheila McCormick, who's who's
49:22
Speaker 4: facing her own battles. But Richard Wholeness, who is seeking
49:28
Speaker 4: to replace McCormick, is now facing a familial issue. His
49:38
Speaker 4: own daughters are now pleading guilty to defrauding Florida's unemployment
49:46
Speaker 4: program of thirty thousand dollars in COVID nineteen fraud. As
49:51
Speaker 4: part of their plea deal, Rachelle Wholeness was spared from
49:56
Speaker 4: pleading guilty to pocketing money from her father's twenty twenty
50:00
Speaker 4: County Commission campaign, which she served as treasurer as well.
50:06
Speaker 4: And so and I share these stories because whether it's
50:11
Speaker 4: the redistricting zeal here and in Maryland and in other
50:14
Speaker 4: places that seems to be being used by the Democrats
50:21
Speaker 4: to gain permanent power over these states under the guise
50:28
Speaker 4: of we must stand up to Donald Trump. This isn't
50:30
Speaker 4: about Donald Trump. It's about their permanent position of power
50:34
Speaker 4: with the hands in the cookie jar. Because once you
50:38
Speaker 4: permanently have a position to be able to move money around,
50:44
Speaker 4: you become the kingmaker. You're the godfather. You come to
50:47
Speaker 4: me on the day of my daughter's a winning in
50:51
Speaker 4: this case, in the day of my daughter's indictment. So tomorrow,
50:57
Speaker 4: Holeness lied on a paycheck protection program application. Tell me
51:01
Speaker 4: you've heard this story before because the Biden administration created
51:07
Speaker 4: a program that was just rife with fraud. And the
51:13
Speaker 4: interesting thing is, I have at least half a dozen
51:16
Speaker 4: businesses who contacted me during COVID for help in reaching
51:22
Speaker 4: out to a member of Congress to plead their case
51:25
Speaker 4: because they're legitimate businesses had been turned down for payroll
51:29
Speaker 4: protection program monies and support. But yet another instance of
51:35
Speaker 4: a company in this wholeness family just rolling on this
51:44
Speaker 4: keeping money out of their own dad's campaign fund. Federal
51:49
Speaker 4: Elections Committee first reported the investigation into McCormick in twenty
51:54
Speaker 4: five after a Coolidge Reagan found after the Coolidge Reagan
51:58
Speaker 4: Foundation alleged the congresswomen accepted one hundred and fifty thousand
52:02
Speaker 4: dollars in illegal inkind campaign contributions from a corporation and
52:07
Speaker 4: attempted to conceal the crime by failing to accurately report
52:12
Speaker 4: the contributions. No, no, no, see its process. How House
52:18
Speaker 4: Ethics Committee, laughably oxymoronically titled found the Congress when guilty
52:23
Speaker 4: of violating twenty seven separate House ethics rules, including money
52:30
Speaker 4: laundering and failure to disclose donations. And so you know,
52:35
Speaker 4: here we have another instance. But this is what this is,
52:39
Speaker 4: what's behind all of this, Even as they wrapped themselves
52:43
Speaker 4: in the raiment of Green New Deal environmentalism, it's about
52:47
Speaker 4: pocketing money and getting their vague.
52:51
Speaker 20: Crime across the country is at an all time high.
52:54
Speaker 20: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
52:56
Speaker 20: a risk. We don't want the feeling of being unprotected
52:59
Speaker 20: and vulnerable. We found GETCCL dot com. Get CCL dot
