Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: Have you seen the Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee operate?
- 0:06Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Chunk Media Network,
- 0:11Speaker 2: all natural and free of artificial intelligence.
- 0:14Speaker 3: Stuart said, steal metem.
- 0:16Speaker 4: You have a day at least for work.
- 0:19Speaker 5: When the sun comes up, drops a pet of scoo.
- 0:24Speaker 5: Joey is epything agenda. All the josues out and needs
- 0:29Speaker 5: the one that Joe's as smile.
- 0:31Speaker 6: He only aggs.
- 0:36Speaker 4: Joe, bless you for letting us be of service to
- 0:39Speaker 4: you this morning, on this Thursday morning. Across the fruit,
- 0:45Speaker 4: they don't focus on the facts.
- 0:47Speaker 1: They focus on emotion and excitement and whatever gets them
- 0:53Speaker 1: attention from the media.
- 0:54Speaker 7: So uh, you would set about disrupting the class by
- 0:59Speaker 7: attracting to yourself.
- 1:02Speaker 4: That's what it is. It's Ben Klein from the House
- 1:05Speaker 4: Judiciary Committee talking about why they had closed door hearings
- 1:11Speaker 4: on the you Don't Know Jack Smith investigation. Jack Smith
- 1:17Speaker 4: telling the press that behind closed doors he told them,
- 1:21Speaker 4: And since we weren't behind those closed doors, I guess
- 1:23Speaker 4: we just have to trust you don't know Jack Smith,
- 1:26Speaker 4: because you know, that's generally what Jack Smith engenders is
- 1:31Speaker 4: trust amongst the American people. But Ben Klein told us
- 1:35Speaker 4: about these closed door hearings that they are going to
- 1:43Speaker 4: have to get open door hearing.
- 1:45Speaker 1: Some public hearing will be necessary following this deposition. But
- 1:49Speaker 1: to get to the bottom of the weaponization of the
- 1:53Speaker 1: DOJ against Donald Trump, against sitting US senators, against a
- 1:57Speaker 1: former Speaker of the House, against conservative gris, we have
- 2:00Speaker 1: to get to the bottom of that, and that involves
- 2:02Speaker 1: a private deposition with lawyers present, asking very detailed questions.
- 2:07Speaker 4: And so that's what went on yesterday. And you don't know.
- 2:10Speaker 4: Jack Smith told the committee that he had found, without
- 2:16Speaker 4: a shadow of a doubt, proof that Donald Trump tried
- 2:20Speaker 4: to overturn the twenty twenty election. And here's where lawyers
- 2:26Speaker 4: hate me, not existentially they don't want to see me
- 2:31Speaker 4: in jail or anything, but because I will point out
- 2:35Speaker 4: the bovine excrement in what they're saying. So if you
- 2:38Speaker 4: say that it's a perfectly legal thing to say, it's
- 2:43Speaker 4: like Bob's meme from earlier. Just because man writes a
- 2:48Speaker 4: law legalizing a sin doesn't make it moral. You can't
- 2:54Speaker 4: legislate away a lie. But in their world of truthiness,
- 3:01Speaker 4: you don't know, Jack Smith can't be held to account
- 3:04Speaker 4: for lying. He's telling you that they tried to overturn this,
- 3:10Speaker 4: just like the Senate tried to overturn the two thousand
- 3:12Speaker 4: election and the twenty sixteen election and the twenty twenty
- 3:17Speaker 4: four election. Because that's part of the process, is that
- 3:25Speaker 4: you're allowed to challenge election results. But now we're in
- 3:29Speaker 4: a world where you're told that to say, hey, is
- 3:32Speaker 4: that count legit is an American it's heresy, it's insurrection.
- 3:40Speaker 4: Is that the same thing when the IRS comes and
- 3:42Speaker 4: says we want to do an audit of your last
- 3:44Speaker 4: five years tax returns, can you say this is insurrection?
- 3:49Speaker 4: You're challenging me. These were bonafied I have them on
- 3:53Speaker 4: DOUG government documents. These are bonafide tax returns, and you're
- 3:57Speaker 4: going to challenge the legitimacy of my tax return burns
- 4:00Speaker 4: as an American citizen.
- 4:02Speaker 8: This is.
- 4:04Speaker 4: I know it's an extreme example, but it is an example.
- 4:07Speaker 4: There you go. So you don't know, Jack Smith, just
- 4:11Speaker 4: amongst the things that's on our docket of first things
- 4:15Speaker 4: this morning, National Guards troops have a court order to
- 4:19Speaker 4: remain in Washington, d C. An appeals court temporarily blocked
- 4:25Speaker 4: a lower court's order that said President Trump had exceeded
- 4:28Speaker 4: his Washington federal authority in deploying two thousand personnel across
- 4:35Speaker 4: the nation's capital. A different federal appeals scored on Monday
- 4:39Speaker 4: rejected a Guatemalan woman's attempt to overturn a deportation order
- 4:44Speaker 4: issued so long ago. Bill Clinton was the president at
- 4:47Speaker 4: the time. The plaintiff had been trying to have the
- 4:52Speaker 4: deportation order overturned, Domingos hennec Herrera, and now we'll have
- 4:57Speaker 4: to go back to Guatemala. Trump counted how well the
- 5:01Speaker 4: administration has done since January in an address in which
- 5:06Speaker 4: he reiterated how bad the government was and what chaos
- 5:10Speaker 4: the American economy was in when they took office eleven
- 5:15Speaker 4: months ago. US government admitted in a hearing over a
- 5:21Speaker 4: lawsuit filed by one of the victims of the air
- 5:24Speaker 4: crash into the Potomac that killed sixty seven people in
- 5:28Speaker 4: between a black Hawk helicopter and a commercial airliner. In
- 5:33Speaker 4: the lawsuit, the deposition said the government is liable for
- 5:38Speaker 4: the crash because the air traffic controller violated visual separation
- 5:42Speaker 4: procedures at night, and plus the army helicopter pilot's failure
- 5:49Speaker 4: to maintain vigilance so as to see and avoid the
- 5:52Speaker 4: airliner in front of him. Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino
- 5:58Speaker 4: announced yesterday that indeed he does plan to leave the
- 6:01Speaker 4: administration in January. This comes just after President Trump praised
- 6:06Speaker 4: his work but said I think he wants to go
- 6:09Speaker 4: back to his show. A heated confrontation unfolded Wednesday in Evanston, Illinois,
- 6:16Speaker 4: where Mayor Daniel Biss, who is trying to get a
- 6:20Speaker 4: congressional campaign going, confronted Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino during
- 6:27Speaker 4: a street level Title eight immigration enforcement operation that conveniently
- 6:33Speaker 4: had dozens of cameras rolling and they're all posted to
- 6:37Speaker 4: X as you watch the confrontation. House Republicans passed the
- 6:41Speaker 4: bill they say will lower healthcare costs by eleven percent,
- 6:45Speaker 4: but it will not extend the subsidies of Obamacare premiums.
- 6:50Speaker 4: They also defeated two resolutions seeking to stop the President
- 6:54Speaker 4: from taking action on drug dealers in Venezuela.
- 7:01Speaker 5: For veterans concerned about their alcohol or drug use, seeking
- 7:05Speaker 5: help can be the first step toward recovery. Doctor Joseph Liberto,
- 7:09Speaker 5: National Mental Health Director for Substance Use Disorders with the

- 8:04Speaker 10: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 8:13Speaker 10: am Doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 10: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 10: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 10: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:32Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and
- 8:36Speaker 10: inflammation has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can
- 8:42Speaker 10: prevent cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer,
- 8:46Speaker 10: and in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects
- 8:51Speaker 10: our healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com

- 10:01Speaker 12: on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 12: I'm not only in alle of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 12: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:09Speaker 12: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 12: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 10:15Speaker 12: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 10:18Speaker 12: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21Speaker 12: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 10:23Speaker 12: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 10:26Speaker 12: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 10:29Speaker 12: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 10:32Speaker 12: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
- 10:35Speaker 12: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
- 10:38Speaker 12: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
- 10:41Speaker 12: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
- 10:44Speaker 12: variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
- 10:46Speaker 12: help those in need. So please join me an American

- 11:31Speaker 15: costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just

- 13:38Speaker 17: Stephen Brooks with guest stars Jack Plugman, Brett Summers.
- 13:47Speaker 4: The night's episode image in a cracked mirror image in
- 13:51Speaker 4: a mirror of crack. Uh these days so the Federal
- 13:55Speaker 4: Bureau of Investigation Beyond the primetime dramas of Shim Shamir
- 14:01Speaker 4: more or Ephraim Zimbalist Junior is playing out a bunch
- 14:07Speaker 4: of text messages. So I want to circle back to
- 14:11Speaker 4: the number of people like put Vongino back on your
- 14:14Speaker 4: radio station. Joe. First off, question, anyone think Dan Bongino
- 14:21Speaker 4: is going to sit down behind his podcast, microphone or
- 14:24Speaker 4: on a network radio show and start telling you all
- 14:26Speaker 4: the classified stuff that went on at the FBI. You
- 14:30Speaker 4: really think that's going to happen, Because I have a bridge,
- 14:33Speaker 4: I can tell you if you do. Secondly, I don't
- 14:39Speaker 4: think he would because I think he's leaving for a
- 14:41Speaker 4: much more mundane reason than you think. And this is
- 14:44Speaker 4: where Terry's email comes into JT in the Morning Radio
- 14:48Speaker 4: at gmail dot com. Joe, you said that you believe
- 14:51Speaker 4: the mundane is much more likely the case in all
- 14:54Speaker 4: of these affairs. But I don't think you told me
- 14:57Speaker 4: what the mundane reason is. I did sort of at
- 15:01Speaker 4: the end. It was it may have kind of been
- 15:03Speaker 4: trampled under as we were heading towards the break earlier
- 15:07Speaker 4: this morning. But the mundane is that when change makers
- 15:11Speaker 4: are hired into an organization, and my friend Chris Horner
- 15:15Speaker 4: went through this and Mark Morano and a lot of
- 15:18Speaker 4: folks who landed at the EPA back in twenty seventeen.
- 15:22Speaker 4: Is that, you know, members of an organization, whatever the
- 15:27Speaker 4: enterprise is, whether it's a restaurant or what's the program is,
- 15:35Speaker 4: the Taffer does the bar rescue. And of course then
- 15:38Speaker 4: you've got the the crazy British cuss machine. It comes
- 15:46Speaker 4: into the restaurants and tries, what the bee bee beep
- 15:51Speaker 4: are you doing? You know, rats running around on the
- 15:53Speaker 4: kitchen floor of some diner in the middle of Brooklyn.
- 15:59Speaker 4: You know these show, these these reality TV shows. Taffer
- 16:03Speaker 4: is the one that does bar rescue. And it comes
- 16:06Speaker 4: in and everyone's sitting there reading the reading the newspaper,
- 16:09Speaker 4: and nobody's serving any drinks. And if you do, it's
- 16:12Speaker 4: you know, twice as much liquor as you're supposed to
- 16:14Speaker 4: get into it. And he's like, I've figured out why
- 16:16Speaker 4: you guys are losing money. But nobody likes these people.
- 16:20Speaker 4: And this is why you hire consultants and outsiders like
- 16:23Speaker 4: this Taffer guy to come in and give you a
- 16:26Speaker 4: check up from the neck up. Institutionally is because nobody
- 16:29Speaker 4: from the inside wants to figure out what they're doing
- 16:32Speaker 4: wrong to the people on the outside and the longer
- 16:37Speaker 4: an enterprise goes on, and the government is an enterprise,
- 16:41Speaker 4: just like a radio station or a dry cleaner, or
- 16:44Speaker 4: whoever it might be. The longer it runs, the more
- 16:47Speaker 4: it gets its institutional memory, the more this is how
- 16:51Speaker 4: we do things. Here becomes the answer to all questions
- 16:55Speaker 4: regarding procedure. And I truly believe that as much as
- 17:01Speaker 4: the folks love to write in about Red Flag Pam
- 17:05Speaker 4: and Dan Bongino's issues with her, which I also think
- 17:09Speaker 4: are real, I think he got tired of people not
- 17:13Speaker 4: changing in the way he wanted them to change and said,
- 17:17Speaker 4: I don't need to deal with this. And it may
- 17:19Speaker 4: have come down to where either Red Flag Pam or
- 17:22Speaker 4: Cash Bettel said, you know what, Dan, We're going to
- 17:25Speaker 4: kind of let that one slide. And this becomes a
- 17:28Speaker 4: question over the Trump administration in its first eleven months.
- 17:33Speaker 4: There are a lot of folks that I talk to
- 17:36Speaker 4: that are concerned, you know, with the Marjorie Taylor Greens
- 17:41Speaker 4: of the world, the Laura Loomers of the world. Who's
- 17:44Speaker 4: pulling Trump in what direction.
- 17:48Speaker 7: Is it?
- 17:48Speaker 4: Stephen Miller and now Steven Miller's wife is doing a podcast.
- 17:52Speaker 4: Maybe Dan Bongeno will go on that is it Steve
- 17:58Speaker 4: Bannon who's in the shots, and then Susie Wiles gives
- 18:03Speaker 4: like a three month access to the West Wing to
- 18:06Speaker 4: Vanity Fair and then his surprise, Susie, I thought you
- 18:09Speaker 4: were smarter than that, surprised that Vanity Fair does a
- 18:13Speaker 4: hit piece on the dysfunction of the West Wing under
- 18:18Speaker 4: Donald Trump faster than you can say, General Flynn, I
- 18:22Speaker 4: could have told you that was going to happen. So
- 18:28Speaker 4: I truly believe it's more that the swamp frustrated Dan
- 18:32Speaker 4: and at some point Dan and you notice this started
- 18:37Speaker 4: right after Russ Vote was told he didn't have the
- 18:41Speaker 4: authority to fire these swamp monsters. That Dan's these stories
- 18:48Speaker 4: started to surface, so as fanciful as as primetime soap
- 18:52Speaker 4: opera as it would be to say, you know, he
- 18:54Speaker 4: and Red Flagpam weren't seeing eye to eye on things,
- 18:58Speaker 4: especially it starts with the Epstein files and so on
- 19:01Speaker 4: and so forth. I don't think Dan has Dan Bongino
- 19:04Speaker 4: we're talking about it has ever been the kind of
- 19:06Speaker 4: guy who's just like, well, she won't release the Epstein files,
- 19:09Speaker 4: I'm going to drug get rid of you. He doesn't
- 19:14Speaker 4: sound like the kind of person who since he protected
- 19:17Speaker 4: Bill Clinton for a long time and for a little
- 19:19Speaker 4: while Hillary Clinton. I don't think Dan Bongino is the
- 19:22Speaker 4: kind of guy to say I'm going to slack off
- 19:25Speaker 4: my job because I didn't like the decision of one
- 19:28Speaker 4: of my superiors. I think it just had to deal
- 19:32Speaker 4: with the fact that he was trying to make changes
- 19:34Speaker 4: in an organization that wasn't making change as fast as
- 19:38Speaker 4: he wanted to, and at some point was told to
- 19:40Speaker 4: ease up to make more realistic expectations, and he didn't
- 19:46Speaker 4: want to do it. Now, the issue with red Flag
- 19:50Speaker 4: Pam A couple of folks heard, and there are folks
- 19:54Speaker 4: who refer to her as that mostly are Florida listeners.
- 19:58Speaker 4: She was a proponent of red flag laws in Florida
- 20:04Speaker 4: after the Parkland shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas. She was
- 20:08Speaker 4: also a functionary figure in the Trayvon Martin mess as well.
- 20:16Speaker 4: Also is showing and proving that conservatives Republicans can get
- 20:22Speaker 4: it just as crestfallingly long wrong as Democrats can, often
- 20:27Speaker 4: for the wrong reason, though so, in an effort to
- 20:30Speaker 4: be populist and to keep the hordes from storming her door,
- 20:35Speaker 4: she moved on more onerous and ridiculous red flag legislation,
- 20:41Speaker 4: which you and I can sit here all the morning
- 20:45Speaker 4: and talk about how red flag legislation doesn't accomplish any
- 20:49Speaker 4: more than the Affordable Care Act does except to make
- 20:52Speaker 4: the politicians that vote for it seem like they care.
- 20:58Speaker 4: And it's just the the mess on top of another mess. Ellen,
- 21:07Speaker 4: you got to warn me with these things. She sent
- 21:09Speaker 4: me a text message about Cardinal Dolan in New York,
- 21:13Speaker 4: the shake up in the New York Church. I thought
- 21:17Speaker 4: you were I thought the story was saying that Pope
- 21:20Speaker 4: Leo was going to appoint Dan Bongino as the new cardinal.
- 21:24Speaker 4: Now that would be a Babylon b headline right there.
- 21:30Speaker 4: But Shariz writes in about red flag laws. She says, Joe,
- 21:33Speaker 4: what's the matter with red flag laws? If somebody is
- 21:37Speaker 4: in danger of hurting themselves, isn't this something that's important
- 21:41Speaker 4: to know? But they don't work that way because yeah,
- 21:44Speaker 4: and partially because we don't work that way, we use
- 21:48Speaker 4: red flag laws as weapons that we don't need to
- 21:51Speaker 4: get a concealed carry permit to use. So until we
- 21:56Speaker 4: get better, things like red flag laws are not going
- 21:59Speaker 4: to work.
- 22:02Speaker 10: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas. Yes,
- 22:07Speaker 10: actually three known gases. I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric oxide
- 22:13Speaker 10: is a gas that's readily made all day long to
- 22:17Speaker 10: keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.

- 24:26Speaker 10: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 10: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:42Speaker 10: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and

- 28:10Speaker 2: Is the challenge of the College of Question for you
- 28:14Speaker 2: from Joe Thomas Its first thing today.
- 28:18Speaker 7: There was an investigation into whether there was a conspiracy
- 28:21Speaker 7: between President Trump and some in his orbit to try
- 28:24Speaker 7: to delay the certification of the electoral College vote in Congress.
- 28:28Speaker 7: My understanding is that those phone records didn't actually contain
- 28:32Speaker 7: the content of those conversations, but purely just what numbers
- 28:37Speaker 7: were speaking to each other and how long the call lasted.
- 28:41Speaker 7: You're suggesting that the Special Counsel and his team were
- 28:45Speaker 7: spying on lawmakers. I believe that the.
- 28:50Speaker 4: Copying, the taking of those numbers.
- 28:53Speaker 1: The monitoring of those conversations was a violation not only
- 28:57Speaker 1: of speech and debate clause, but also the separation of powers.
- 29:01Speaker 1: And so we do have issues with the methods in
- 29:04Speaker 1: which Jack Smith underwent his investigation. We believe that he
- 29:09Speaker 1: violated the norms and procedures of the Department of Justice,
- 29:12Speaker 1: as well as potentially the laws in the Constitution of
- 29:15Speaker 1: the United States.
- 29:17Speaker 4: That's from the closed door hearings with you don't know
- 29:21Speaker 4: Jack Smith regarding his investigations into January sixth. On the
- 29:27Speaker 4: political side, not the people that two hundred and forty
- 29:31Speaker 4: seven FBI, CIS and other agents provocateurs were able to
- 29:38Speaker 4: gin up into a furer enough into entering a building
- 29:41Speaker 4: that I think most people would logically consider they would
- 29:45Speaker 4: have some sort of right to have access to the
- 29:48Speaker 4: US Capital where their representatives worked, only to find out Oops. Sorry, Ever,
- 29:54Speaker 4: since September eleventh of two thousand and one, the US
- 30:00Speaker 4: Capital is invitation only, so you can't go visit the
- 30:04Speaker 4: offices of the people who work for you. Sorry. Thanks
- 30:07Speaker 4: for playing, though, here's a home version of the game
- 30:09Speaker 4: you can play while you're in solitary for three years
- 30:12Speaker 4: waiting for your first hearing unless you want to give up,
- 30:16Speaker 4: mister Big. Nobody gave up, mister Big, So stay in jail,
- 30:20Speaker 4: enjoy it. And it's Congressman Ben Klein from the House
- 30:25Speaker 4: Judiciary Committee talking about the surveillance and the backtracking and
- 30:30Speaker 4: the collecting of information regarding who was talking to who
- 30:35Speaker 4: in the build up of the Senate proceedings, and understand
- 30:42Speaker 4: one of the things he was talking about is norms
- 30:44Speaker 4: and procedures for time in memoriam. Senators and members of
- 30:48Speaker 4: the House on invitation have on January sixth of the
- 30:53Speaker 4: year following an election of for president challenged in many
- 30:58Speaker 4: instances results of varying states, and it's never been a
- 31:06Speaker 4: controversial thing until twenty twenty one because it was stopped.
- 31:12Speaker 4: It actually didn't even happen in twenty twenty one because
- 31:15Speaker 4: the two hundred and forty seven FBI adjuncts seemed to
- 31:20Speaker 4: be able to get enough of a crowd going and
- 31:23Speaker 4: then they went into the Capitol building and everything stopped,
- 31:27Speaker 4: and then they never came back to actually investigate states
- 31:31Speaker 4: like Georgia's election results in Arizona and places like that
- 31:34Speaker 4: where they were going to question the veracity of the
- 31:38Speaker 4: election results before they certified the results of the election,
- 31:42Speaker 4: and people think that just because some secretary of state
- 31:46Speaker 4: in some states said this is what I certified, that
- 31:49Speaker 4: that's it. That would be like claiming to Thers investigator
- 31:54Speaker 4: that because your accountant signed the bottom of your tax return,
- 31:58Speaker 4: it's beyond reproat and this is the foe. Well, you know,
- 32:06Speaker 4: it's almost like we've begged for this because we've fallen
- 32:11Speaker 4: so in love with the trappings. Oh, this is the election,
- 32:13Speaker 4: the election results, and here we go that there is
- 32:17Speaker 4: other parts of the process, and people want pure democracy
- 32:23Speaker 4: and understand the flaw in this whole debate about January sixth.
- 32:27Speaker 4: Is the endgame to the American left. The endgame to
- 32:31Speaker 4: Eric Holder and all the election destroyers out there, is
- 32:36Speaker 4: to get rid of the electoral College to do a
- 32:39Speaker 4: direct popular vote for president, so you will never have
- 32:45Speaker 4: a president that is popular anywhere except New York City
- 32:49Speaker 4: and Los Angeles and Chicago. Again, they want to undo
- 32:53Speaker 4: one of the very simplest procedures of American governance, which
- 32:59Speaker 4: is that Kansas and Nebraska and Ohio and Nevada can
- 33:05Speaker 4: all have as much import to an election as New
- 33:09Speaker 4: York and Los Angeles do, and that there are some
- 33:14Speaker 4: states and there's more of a movement on this. I
- 33:17Speaker 4: wouldn't be against allowing electors to represent their districts and
- 33:22Speaker 4: understand how the electoral college works. Just for a premer
- 33:26Speaker 4: you probably do. The percentages of this radio show's audience
- 33:30Speaker 4: that understand how the electoral college is set up is
- 33:36Speaker 4: probably higher than a lot of radio shows. No slight intended, Charlemagne.
- 33:42Speaker 4: But the electoral college is literally your state representation in Congress.
- 33:50Speaker 4: You have, for example, Virginia has thirteen electoral votes. Why
- 33:55Speaker 4: does Virginia have thirteen electoral votes? Because we have eleven
- 33:59Speaker 4: congress p eleven representatives and two senators. And here's a
- 34:06Speaker 4: fun little sidetrack into my campaign to get rid of
- 34:11Speaker 4: the Permanent Reapportionment Act. If you did, then the electoral
- 34:16Speaker 4: college would increase to the number of people that you have,
- 34:21Speaker 4: and each state would become more powerful in the electoral college,
- 34:27Speaker 4: never minding where the congressional districts are. But if you
- 34:31Speaker 4: have more Congress people, then you have more votes in there.
- 34:35Speaker 4: And you know, some states are investigating whether to allow
- 34:39Speaker 4: electors to vote, you know, in concert with their congressional district.
- 34:46Speaker 4: So if you're the elector from California's seventeenth congressional district
- 34:52Speaker 4: and they voted for Joe Biden. I don't know, I'm
- 34:56Speaker 4: I don't know where the seventeenth district in California is.
- 35:00Speaker 4: But let's just say they voted for Joe Biden. Oh no, No,
- 35:04Speaker 4: for the sake of the example, let's say say the
- 35:07Speaker 4: seventeenth congressional district in California went for Donald Trump, but
- 35:12Speaker 4: everyone else in California went for Joe Biden. You as
- 35:16Speaker 4: an elector from that district should be able to vote
- 35:20Speaker 4: what your constituency says. But whether it's two thousand, nineteen sixty,
- 35:32Speaker 4: we had this, we had these issues, Jack Kennedy. This
- 35:37Speaker 4: is why Jack Kennedy had a list of alternate electors
- 35:40Speaker 4: picked for Hawaii because there were some questions. And on
- 35:45Speaker 4: January sixth of nineteen sixty one, some senators and got
- 35:50Speaker 4: up and said, will you challenged the count of this?
- 35:53Speaker 4: And we wanted gone through Maxine Waters and t and one.
- 36:02Speaker 4: Remember he's not my president selected, not elected. January sixth
- 36:08Speaker 4: has always been a day to go through the results
- 36:12Speaker 4: and say I call bs on that. And so the
- 36:16Speaker 4: idea that you don't know Jack Smith is trying to
- 36:19Speaker 4: make this case leads us into a world where we
- 36:23Speaker 4: will accept the removal of one of the true cornerstones
- 36:29Speaker 4: of American republic government is the idea of representative but
- 36:37Speaker 4: not democratic government, because if you create a popular election
- 36:43Speaker 4: for president, you're never going to have a representative that
- 36:47Speaker 4: doesn't suckle up to New York, Los Angeles and Chicago,
- 36:50Speaker 4: maybe Atlanta, but the rest of the country will never
- 36:54Speaker 4: get a representative again and will never get their issues
- 36:58Speaker 4: looked at, and the president will own always be from
- 37:00Speaker 4: these left wing enclaves of these big cities.
- 37:04Speaker 7: But if days before that you had the President of
- 37:06Speaker 7: the United States at the time on tape suggesting to
- 37:09Speaker 7: the Georgia's Secretary of State that he should find him
- 37:12Speaker 7: some eleven thousand votes, you don't think they're sufficient cause
- 37:16Speaker 7: for someone to investigate with them.
- 37:18Speaker 4: And this is the CNN anchor that's telling you that
- 37:22Speaker 4: conversation has already been roundly debunked once everyone saw what
- 37:26Speaker 4: the entire conversation was, which was where did these votes
- 37:30Speaker 4: go from four years ago? That's what the conversation was about.
- 37:36Speaker 4: And see, this is how they're playing this word game.
- 37:40Speaker 4: It's all about smoke and mirrors. Remember, the trick of
- 37:44Speaker 4: the magician is making you not notice when they take
- 37:48Speaker 4: away the thing that they've made disappear, like your rights
- 37:53Speaker 4: to petition against an election result or even simply ask
- 37:58Speaker 4: for an auditing of it.

- 44:12Speaker 2: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
- 44:16Speaker 2: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
- 44:27Speaker 4: So the dearth of housing. That again, More Munchausenes by
- 44:33Speaker 4: Government Syndrome this morning, and you jump in at four three,
- 44:36Speaker 4: four eight eight two four two one seven, text messages
- 44:41Speaker 4: or phone calls. Traditional ones have driven a new scam
- 44:47Speaker 4: out there where people are now posting to Craigslists and
- 44:55Speaker 4: to you know, all these websites dedicated face Spoke, Marketplace
- 45:01Speaker 4: and that kind of thing, ads saying hey, I can
- 45:06Speaker 4: find you a rental property. Look at this house. This
- 45:09Speaker 4: house is for rent for a buck three eighty, way
- 45:13Speaker 4: lower than going market rate. Hey I represent this family.
- 45:18Speaker 4: Send me. And what they're doing is they're asking for
- 45:20Speaker 4: finders fees. Send me five hundred bucks, send me one
- 45:25Speaker 4: thousand dollars, and I'll get you in to this rental property.
- 45:31Speaker 4: What's funny is that they're targeting the poorest of the
- 45:33Speaker 4: poor who can't afford the mortgage or whatever it is,
- 45:40Speaker 4: the rental rate, bad credit, new new rules regarding rentals.
- 45:47Speaker 4: Most corporate rental properties insist on a credit score, so
- 45:53Speaker 4: they're praying on the people who have the least spare
- 45:57Speaker 4: cash and they're stealing from them. A special place amongst
- 46:02Speaker 4: the fire and brimstone for these folks is in Albany
- 46:05Speaker 4: and New York. Fake rental properties popping up all over
- 46:09Speaker 4: Facebook and craigslists. Scammers take the information in pictures from
- 46:13Speaker 4: houses listed for sale and advertise them as rentals at
- 46:17Speaker 4: very low price. This is Jackson, Mississippi. Scammers are starting
- 46:22Speaker 4: to use real home addresses in order to get money
- 46:25Speaker 4: from other people. The worst thing is people who own
- 46:28Speaker 4: the home have no idea. I mean you've heard, I'm
- 46:31Speaker 4: sure the ads about title fraud where people are straight.
- 46:37Speaker 4: They're not even bothering with that anymore. They're just saying, hey,
- 46:40Speaker 4: I can get you into this house. Give me a
- 46:42Speaker 4: thousand bucks and we'll start the paperwork because it's my
- 46:46Speaker 4: finder's fee. But you'll be paying you five hundred dollars
- 46:49Speaker 4: a month to rent this three hundred and three bedroom
- 46:52Speaker 4: home rather than what you're paying now. Corpus Christy, fake
- 46:57Speaker 4: rental posts and forged document are hitting Corpus Christie homeowners.
- 47:02Speaker 4: The schemes often involved fake rental listings, wire fraud, and
- 47:06Speaker 4: phony video conference links because people are struggling to find homes.
- 47:13Speaker 4: So what's happening is you have scammers coming along saying
- 47:16Speaker 4: I can help you find where the homes are. I'm
- 47:19Speaker 4: the magic man or whatever they call themselves, and their
- 47:23Speaker 4: websites indicate how many satisfied customers don't actually exist and
- 47:29Speaker 4: if you pay me in advance, I can get you
- 47:31Speaker 4: into this apartment then, or this home or this and
- 47:35Speaker 4: then when you find out, oh we've been duped. Now
- 47:38Speaker 4: you don't even have the money for this month's rent
- 47:40Speaker 4: in the place, you are playing off desperation. And again,
- 47:48Speaker 4: government caused because the housing shortage is government driven based
- 47:55Speaker 4: on environmental and historical presentation and all of these different
- 48:05Speaker 4: problems that are created by government. The housing shortages we're
- 48:10Speaker 4: facing are caused by government because if you have a
- 48:13Speaker 4: shortage of housing, housing becomes more expensive. More expensive housing
- 48:17Speaker 4: drives up more local tax revenue. You see how it
- 48:21Speaker 4: becomes a for profit game. They don't want more affordable housing.
- 48:28Speaker 4: And then the other side of the whole affordable housing
- 48:30Speaker 4: thing is, you know what kind of jobs are we
- 48:32Speaker 4: creating in this country? And I have no slag And
- 48:35Speaker 4: people hear me talk about this and they say, oh, Joe,
- 48:38Speaker 4: you have a problem with convenience stores. Hell no, But
- 48:42Speaker 4: there's a there's a fine line. If you have a
- 48:45Speaker 4: free market and somebody is making and selling sandwiches and
- 48:50Speaker 4: gasoline and candy bars and a cup of coffee, there
- 48:56Speaker 4: is a cost in turn to that business. If somebody
- 49:02Speaker 4: is selling sandwiches and pepsi products. There's a cost and
- 49:06Speaker 4: curd in producing those, and the leftists have so gas
- 49:11Speaker 4: lit us economically that we think, oh, you started that
- 49:15Speaker 4: business to make jobs. And they'll go and they'll give
- 49:19Speaker 4: a speech saying, we'd like to thank Joe Thomas for
- 49:22Speaker 4: starting this radio show to create all these jobs. That's
- 49:25Speaker 4: not why I created a radio show. I didn't create
- 49:27Speaker 4: a radio show to create jobs. I started a radio
- 49:31Speaker 4: show to help people to give, to provide a service
- 49:37Speaker 4: to them. But they just don't grasp that. And so
- 49:41Speaker 4: what they've done is they've artificially driven up this market
- 49:45Speaker 4: and now they're claiming, oh well, now look at all
- 49:48Speaker 4: these people, you need a government overseer. And some of
- 49:52Speaker 4: it is playing off of the very things that we've
- 49:54Speaker 4: decried Facebook for for some time. They're two thirty per
- 49:59Speaker 4: teen as, oh well, we don't you know, a newspaper
- 50:02Speaker 4: used to have to have some liability if they posted
- 50:07Speaker 4: something in their classifieds that didn't turn out to be
- 50:10Speaker 4: let's just say quote real, they could be held to
- 50:14Speaker 4: account for it. Facebook, because of you know, Section two
- 50:19Speaker 4: thirty is protected from that. We had no say we
- 50:23Speaker 4: didn't know that that wasn't a real house, but they're
- 50:28Speaker 4: they're playing off your fears of housing shortages and where
- 50:34Speaker 4: are we going to live and all that. As we
- 50:37Speaker 4: approached the weekend, my friends at Triple A. I was
- 50:41Speaker 4: talking with Morgan Dean Triple A and mid Atlantic, and
- 50:45Speaker 4: he was telling me about the holiday weekend travels and
- 50:48Speaker 4: what they're looking at, talking about.
- 50:49Speaker 24: One hundred and twenty two point four million people traveling
- 50:52Speaker 24: all across the country.
- 50:54Speaker 4: That's like a third of the population going somewhere, with.
- 50:58Speaker 24: About one hundred and ten million are about ninety percent
- 51:01Speaker 24: of them hitting the.
- 51:02Speaker 4: Roadway, so driving somewhere, and you know, and of course
- 51:07Speaker 4: the leftists will say that's because we've allowed gas prices
- 51:10Speaker 4: to become too low.
- 51:12Speaker 24: It is going to be busy out there this year.
- 51:13Speaker 24: Comparing it to last year, we're up about two point
- 51:16Speaker 24: two percent. And when we compare it to the pre
- 51:18Speaker 24: pandemic days of twenty nineteen, we're up about two point
- 51:22Speaker 24: eight percent.
- 51:23Speaker 4: So can we stop bringing up pre pandemic numbers, say,
- 51:28Speaker 4: because to me, if we're up two point eight percent,
- 51:31Speaker 4: if it's just a little bit more than we were
- 51:34Speaker 4: from pre pandemic, I think we've come back out of
- 51:37Speaker 4: pre pandemic preclosure, although I do still mystifiably see folks
- 51:44Speaker 4: walking along the street completely alone, not a soul around them,
- 51:48Speaker 4: not even a pet at the other end of a leash,
- 51:51Speaker 4: wearing a woke mask, and I still don't understand why,
- 51:55Speaker 4: because I want to go up and say, you understand,
- 51:58Speaker 4: the woke mask is to protect me, not you. Yeah,
- 52:06Speaker 4: fun Facts, it's what we do here. Fun Facts. Appreciate it.
- 52:10Speaker 4: Like I said, you know, I think we're gonna be good.
- 52:13Speaker 4: I'm gonna make sure I get enough rest before the concert.
- 52:16Speaker 4: It will be a later night than my usual rack time,
- 52:19Speaker 4: but you know it only happens once a year, and
- 52:21Speaker 4: I appreciate, like I said, all the folks who have
- 52:23Speaker 4: sent me notes about their first experiences with Trans Siberian Orchestra.
- 52:29Speaker 4: Thanks to this program, we will have all the fun
- 52:33Speaker 4: and frolic for tomorrow morning and break it all down
