Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: The same act is Jim Crow two point zero more
- 0:05Speaker 1: than twenty million people would lose.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Their right to her first thing.
- 0:09Speaker 3: Today by Joe Thomas on the Chunk Media Network, All
- 0:13Speaker 3: natural and free, you of artificial intelligence.
- 0:16Speaker 4: Your word said, steal me stem you have a day
- 0:20Speaker 4: at least for work.
- 0:21Speaker 2: When the sun comes up.
- 0:23Speaker 5: Drops a pet of the school way.
- 0:26Speaker 6: Joe has everything, agenda, all the treasures that it needs.
- 0:31Speaker 1: No one that Joe's as smile, he only as.
- 0:38Speaker 7: Joe.
- 0:39Speaker 2: Thank you for letting me be of service to you, sir.
- 0:42Speaker 5: I want to be ma'am.
- 0:45Speaker 2: We will tell you what went on last night. We
- 0:48Speaker 2: will give you our analysis of it. Sometimes it's not
- 0:51Speaker 2: even going to be popular. Sometimes it will be something
- 0:54Speaker 2: that you've never heard before. But for the most part,
- 0:58Speaker 2: we will give you our analysis. But we want to
- 1:00Speaker 2: hear how it's impacting you where you are. That's Chuck
- 1:04Speaker 2: Schumer who's not playing fair with the Virginia Democrats who
- 1:07Speaker 2: are up in arms because apparently conservatives are using the
- 1:14Speaker 2: battle for civil rights in their campaign to make sure
- 1:20Speaker 2: that the Democrats don't gerrymander all the districts and cut
- 1:24Speaker 2: up all the black communities into separate communities and therefore
- 1:29Speaker 2: to stretch their votes out. But he also outed the
- 1:33Speaker 2: fact that there is apparently, according to Chuck Schumer, twenty
- 1:37Speaker 2: million non citizens who are voting in our elections. And
- 1:44Speaker 2: some arithmetic that was pointed out to me. If there's
- 1:48Speaker 2: twenty million non citizens that need to vote for their
- 1:56Speaker 2: aid so they will vote in the next election, that's
- 2:00Speaker 2: more like forty million votes, because you have to take
- 2:04Speaker 2: into account the fact that we have fifty to sixty
- 2:07Speaker 2: percent voter turnout. You no, that is that is well
- 2:11Speaker 2: done arithmetic right there. But you are right on the
- 2:14Speaker 2: money because when we only show up to a tune
- 2:19Speaker 2: of fifty percent, you know, the people who need government
- 2:24Speaker 2: assistance are showing up at one hundred percent clip. Because,
- 2:32Speaker 2: as you know was once said very famously, politics is
- 2:37Speaker 2: the art of who shows up. Decisions are made by
- 2:41Speaker 2: those people who show up. So show up at four
- 2:44Speaker 2: three four eight eight two four two one seven. Don't
- 2:47Speaker 2: throw up your hands. We have a unique opportunity in
- 2:50Speaker 2: this world and this time, to use the technology we
- 2:53Speaker 2: have to communicate what's really going on out there. Despite
- 2:58Speaker 2: the bankruptcies of Cumulus Media and Westwood One and all
- 3:02Speaker 2: the big companies, that's not necessarily a news story that's
- 3:05Speaker 2: going to impact you outside of the fact that you're
- 3:07Speaker 2: going to get fewer and fewer live radio personalities because
- 3:11Speaker 2: they can afford fewer and fewer of them. One of
- 3:13Speaker 2: the biggest broadcast companies in America has filed for Chapter
- 3:17Speaker 2: eleven bankruptcy. Cumulus Broadcasting owns I think it's the second
- 3:22Speaker 2: largest radio chain in America after iHeart, who's also regularly
- 3:27Speaker 2: in bankruptcy proceedings. But Cumulus entered on Friday for a reorganization,
- 3:32Speaker 2: saying that the cost of running radio stations has got
- 3:37Speaker 2: just gotten further and further out of hand, and they're
- 3:40Speaker 2: not growing advertising revenue. It's odd because little operators like
- 3:45Speaker 2: this one we are growing revenue. So it's strange how
- 3:48Speaker 2: their business model doesn't seem to pencil out. Meanwhile, on
- 3:53Speaker 2: the world stage, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahoo vowed Tuesday that
- 3:58Speaker 2: Israel will continue viking Iran quote. Our aim is to
- 4:02Speaker 2: bring the Iranian people to cast off the yoke of tyranny.
- 4:06Speaker 2: Ultimately it depends on them. President Trump was hit by
- 4:13Speaker 2: a press gaggle yesterday because he said the battles were
- 4:18Speaker 2: nearly complete, but Pete Hegsath said they were only just beginning,
- 4:22Speaker 2: So which is it.
- 4:23Speaker 8: And how long should Americans be were.
- 4:27Speaker 5: The beginning, It's the beginning of building a new country.
- 4:31Speaker 2: The President also warned Monday the United States would respond
- 4:35Speaker 2: with twenty times more force if the Iranian Republican Guard
- 4:40Speaker 2: attempts to halt oil shipments through the Straits of Hormuz.
- 4:45Speaker 2: The President was speaking in Doral, Florida, at his golf club,
- 4:49Speaker 2: there where he's invited Republican leaders to press them on
- 4:53Speaker 2: passing the Save Act, the Save Act that would require
- 4:58Speaker 2: proof of citizen ship to vote in American election get
- 5:03Speaker 2: on the voter goal the Save.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Act, as Jim Crow two point zero, more than twenty
- 5:08Speaker 1: million people would lose their right.
- 5:09Speaker 2: To vote, according to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Meanwhile,
- 5:16Speaker 2: other leaders in his party, like Cory Booker, have said
- 5:19Speaker 2: We're going to hold up the US Senate until we
- 5:23Speaker 2: get answers from Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseith on their
- 5:27Speaker 2: premise for bombing Tehran. Leaks from the Administration to USA
- 5:40Speaker 2: Today say that there is a potential deal between US
- 5:45Speaker 2: and Cuba which would lift restrictions on Americans traveling to
- 5:51Speaker 2: Havana and create more economic transactions. I lift the sanctions
- 5:58Speaker 2: that were there. First Thing Today by Joe Thomas, supported

- 7:01Speaker 9: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
- 7:05Speaker 9: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
- 7:08Speaker 1: It was Medishare that came through for us and there

- 8:04Speaker 11: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 11: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 11: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 11: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:27Speaker 11: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:32Speaker 11: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:37Speaker 11: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42Speaker 11: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46Speaker 11: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51Speaker 11: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

- 9:59Speaker 13: Hi everybody, I'm Jack and it's always a boy. Growing
- 10:01Speaker 13: up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 13: I'm not only in all of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 13: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:09Speaker 13: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 13: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 10:15Speaker 13: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 10:18Speaker 13: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21Speaker 13: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 10:23Speaker 13: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 10:26Speaker 13: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 10:29Speaker 13: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 10:32Speaker 13: perform life saving work every day.
- 10:34Speaker 14: Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans,
- 10:37Speaker 14: some of whom suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics,
- 10:40Speaker 14: alerting them when there's a change in their blood chemistry.
- 10:43Speaker 14: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
- 10:45Speaker 14: contribute to society and help those in need, So please
- 10:48Speaker 14: join me an American Humane and supporting our heroic working
- 10:51Speaker 14: dogs and all the amazing animals on this planet we
- 10:54Speaker 14: inhabit together.

- 11:03Speaker 15: the woots.
- 11:05Speaker 8: And now a speech.
- 11:07Speaker 4: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
- 11:10Speaker 4: heart and brain.
- 11:12Speaker 2: Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 15: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
- 11:15Speaker 15: brain is saying when it's time to go home, Somebody
- 11:18Speaker 15: call me a ride.
- 11:19Speaker 8: Love that guy, me too.

- 13:09Speaker 18: The sound.
- 13:11Speaker 3: Question for you from Joe Thomas. It's first thing today, Oh, information.
- 13:18Speaker 18: Honoring is really quite ferocious.
- 13:20Speaker 9: It's right ups to take them lines and makes them
- 13:22Speaker 9: sound prepocious for saying than in.
- 13:24Speaker 5: Congress or and mainstream outed.
- 13:25Speaker 3: So this information's origins are slightly.
- 13:28Speaker 8: Lost, atrocious.
- 13:31Speaker 11: It's how you hide a delighted lie.
- 13:32Speaker 8: It's how you hide a delighted line.
- 13:34Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 13:34Speaker 2: I want some of this info and some of that
- 13:36Speaker 2: info if you got it to, you know, put it
- 13:38Speaker 2: all in a bag rapid separately. I'm making sandwiches later
- 13:43Speaker 2: four three four eight eight two four two one seven.
- 13:46Speaker 2: I love this email because I love the deep thought
- 13:51Speaker 2: that goes into it, even if I'm not necessarily thrilled
- 13:54Speaker 2: with where it's going. Anthony writes into JT in the
- 14:00Speaker 2: Morning Radio at gmail dot com. Joe, you're asking where
- 14:04Speaker 2: are the Iranian citizens standing up? You even pointed out
- 14:08Speaker 2: that Benjamin Netanyahoo is saying where are the Iranian citizens?
- 14:13Speaker 5: Wow?
- 14:13Speaker 2: Technically, Anthony, I think he's saying, we're going to keep
- 14:16Speaker 2: bombing until they stand up. My question is, you know,
- 14:21Speaker 2: the Iranian Mullahs had to kill tens of thousands of
- 14:24Speaker 2: them when they were still in power because they were protesting.
- 14:29Speaker 2: And that's where Anthony's going with this. He said, what, Joe,
- 14:32Speaker 2: if those protests we saw really weren't protests, they were
- 14:38Speaker 2: staged uprisings to draw the Americans and the Israelis into
- 14:44Speaker 2: a battle. Did you ever see the movie The Mouse
- 14:50Speaker 2: That Roared? You see? And now, I don't think Tehran
- 14:53Speaker 2: wants to be a client state of the United States.
- 14:57Speaker 2: I think they wanted more attention from Russia. Maybe if
- 15:01Speaker 2: your premise and you tell me you guys have much
- 15:04Speaker 2: more you know, uh, depth of field time to consider
- 15:10Speaker 2: these things. But I think asking the question is not
- 15:14Speaker 2: something you're gonna hear Corey Booker say. Nobody in the
- 15:18Speaker 2: US Senate is going to say to Marco Rubio, can
- 15:21Speaker 2: you verify the intel that we saw on the news
- 15:25Speaker 2: for two months of protesters rioting in Tehran? But I
- 15:30Speaker 2: think Anthony's question is apt. We've blown up the Iranian government,
- 15:36Speaker 2: the same Iranian government that was shooting these people in
- 15:39Speaker 2: the streets for the most part. I mean, the Iranian
- 15:43Speaker 2: Republican Guard is still there and whatnot? Are these protesters
- 15:49Speaker 2: more afraid now than they were before? Because if we
- 15:58Speaker 2: hit the command and control and that's taken out, this
- 16:03Speaker 2: should be your opportunity while the chaos, if you will,
- 16:08Speaker 2: is ensuing to take those celebrations that I've seen on
- 16:12Speaker 2: social media and turn them into action, turn them into governance,
- 16:18Speaker 2: not just say you know, we were done with the
- 16:21Speaker 2: old Ayatola. Anyway, here's the new Iatola. It's Iatola Junior
- 16:27Speaker 2: now from Hasbro It's Iatola Junior now available for purchase
- 16:33Speaker 2: off the commercials you see at NBC dot com. And
- 16:41Speaker 2: you know, your Anthony's point is that, as I warned
- 16:45Speaker 2: last week, Americans enthusiasm for this adventure in the Middle East,
- 16:53Speaker 2: which I think has been a long time coming, Bill Wayne,
- 17:01Speaker 2: if this starts to go on now, I will also
- 17:04Speaker 2: point out that much of what we learned about the
- 17:08Speaker 2: anti war protests of the nineteen sixties was paid for.
- 17:18Speaker 2: Misinformation paid for by the Soviet Union, who sent money
- 17:28Speaker 2: to our newsrooms and said, here, we will sponsor this,
- 17:33Speaker 2: here's the story we want, or you would just straight
- 17:36Speaker 2: up corrupt. Some reporters pay for them, and the biggest
- 17:52Speaker 2: part of the anti war movement was the Soviets paying
- 17:55Speaker 2: for the actual anti war movement itself. Soviets are gone,
- 18:01Speaker 2: but that isn't going to stop Russia or China from
- 18:04Speaker 2: sending some money to an influential podcaster. They don't have
- 18:09Speaker 2: the risk of having, you know, to somebody soothe them.
- 18:12Speaker 2: And that's the joy of our five point twenty corruption
- 18:18Speaker 2: is that you know, the Russians or the Chicoms can
- 18:23Speaker 2: corrupt a popular podcast or TikTok feed or whatever, and
- 18:33Speaker 2: there's no recompense to go after the author directly and say, well,
- 18:38Speaker 2: hold on, you're I'm just a content creator.
- 18:42Speaker 5: Me.
- 18:43Speaker 2: I can't go on the air without saying, better make
- 18:46Speaker 2: sure I can't get sued for anything I say, or
- 18:51Speaker 2: if I do say something that would get me sued,
- 18:54Speaker 2: that that was the intent. You know, sometimes people say
- 18:58Speaker 2: things intentionally to get a lawsuit, so then there's discovery
- 19:05Speaker 2: and all those things. But so far polling has said
- 19:16Speaker 2: the popularity of the invasion of Iran is still in
- 19:24Speaker 2: favor of the president eighty percent, but that's not going
- 19:38Speaker 2: to last forever because of what has happened in the
- 19:42Speaker 2: past and you've got seven deceased soldiers. The Dover test
- 19:48Speaker 2: is what the politicos call it. You know, how does
- 19:51Speaker 2: the president's popularity You know, Marshal an airplane hangar full
- 19:57Speaker 2: of coffins, But knowing what we know about what went
- 20:09Speaker 2: on in the sixties, don't necessarily just gobble up anything.
- 20:13Speaker 2: And you might not like the idea of trying to
- 20:16Speaker 2: help liberate Iran. We should be the country that's out
- 20:20Speaker 2: there pushing for people's liberty so that they can be
- 20:23Speaker 2: self determining. The Iranian people in nineteen seventy nine overthrew
- 20:33Speaker 2: the Shah because through their media, they had been fomented
- 20:37Speaker 2: into the idea that the Shah himself was a brutal dictator,
- 20:44Speaker 2: and there was enough evidence of brutal dictatorship and police
- 20:47Speaker 2: actions that led to an uprising against the Shah. Jimmy
- 20:53Speaker 2: Carter abandoned the Shah even though we were his number
- 20:58Speaker 2: one a guy or vice versa. So he had no
- 21:03Speaker 2: more supported home, so he abandoned ship. What happened was
- 21:08Speaker 2: the Ayatola, who had been fomending the anti Shah rhetoric
- 21:14Speaker 2: from his home, his palatial home in Paris. This is Komane,
- 21:19Speaker 2: not Kamene, then swooped in and said we're here, we're
- 21:25Speaker 2: taking over now, and replaced the SHA's government with the theocracy.
- 21:37Speaker 2: We now see theocracies aren't so easy to get rid of.
- 21:41Speaker 2: And for everyone who says, oh America is just a
- 21:44Speaker 2: you know, as Christian nationalist, no, you're looking at what
- 21:47Speaker 2: happens when a theology becomes the government. Four three four
- 21:55Speaker 2: eight eight two four two one seven, much much much

- 24:07Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 24:12Speaker 11: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18Speaker 11: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22Speaker 11: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26Speaker 11: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31Speaker 11: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 11: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:42Speaker 11: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer and
- 24:45Speaker 11: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

- 28:23Speaker 3: on the Tunk Media Network.
- 28:25Speaker 5: Bom Bom bomb Iran, Bom bom bom bom bomb.
- 28:29Speaker 2: Iran is when is Vince Vance going to hit the
- 28:33Speaker 2: road for a reunion tour. I mean we're the kind
- 28:36Speaker 2: of radio show that somebody would call and say, hey,
- 28:39Speaker 2: you got the Vince Vance is going out on the
- 28:43Speaker 2: tour there President Trump yesterday. Darrell first Gary in Berlin,
- 28:49Speaker 2: writes in in response to Anthony's email, it's my understanding
- 28:54Speaker 2: that Trump has repeatedly told the good Iranians to hold off,
- 28:58Speaker 2: and the kurd are arming in the north from Iraq.
- 29:03Speaker 2: Oh goody, because that's always a good sign, because you've
- 29:08Speaker 2: got these international powers who would love to get in
- 29:11Speaker 2: on what Iran has. That's the other thing is that
- 29:16Speaker 2: you know who who out there is looking to make
- 29:19Speaker 2: a killing out there in Iran on the tumult. This
- 29:23Speaker 2: is why you need something. And he was asked about
- 29:25Speaker 2: this at dur rally yesterday.
- 29:27Speaker 3: Given that you just said that their leadership has been
- 29:29Speaker 3: the you know, internal and eternal, come to think of it.
- 29:34Speaker 5: But I like the idea of internal because it works well.
- 29:39Speaker 5: I mean, I think we've proven that so far. In Venezuela,
- 29:43Speaker 5: we have a woman, Elsey, who has been president of
- 29:48Speaker 5: the country, very respected, very She's doing a great job
- 29:52Speaker 5: and it's you know, no disruption.
- 29:54Speaker 8: You have called him an unacceptable choice. So does he
- 29:57Speaker 8: have a target on his back?
- 29:59Speaker 5: I don't want to s whether or not he does,
- 30:01Speaker 5: because that would be inappropriate. But hey, look I had
- 30:03Speaker 5: a target on my back because as you people wrote,
- 30:06Speaker 5: pretty well, they caught the assassin that was after me,
- 30:12Speaker 5: so we just got them first.
- 30:13Speaker 4: But they.
- 30:15Speaker 2: So the question remains, and of course the headline on
- 30:18Speaker 2: that story is all Trump brags about being an assassin
- 30:21Speaker 2: or whatever. It doesn't actually quote the salient answer to
- 30:26Speaker 2: his question. We talked frequently about the pedantic representation of
- 30:40Speaker 2: what happened two hundred and fifty years ago, and there's
- 30:46Speaker 2: reasons that what happened in France is different than what
- 30:52Speaker 2: happened in the United States. So in the United States,
- 30:58Speaker 2: the colonies took legal measures to declare that they no
- 31:07Speaker 2: longer recognized the government of Britain as the legitimate government
- 31:14Speaker 2: of these colonies and immediately sat a colonial government to
- 31:22Speaker 2: oversee the actions within, especially military, of course, and then
- 31:32Speaker 2: the battle we had with the British was a battle
- 31:36Speaker 2: of ousting an occupying force. We no longer recognize your authority,
- 31:41Speaker 2: so your army in our country is an occupying force.
- 31:48Speaker 2: This has been a problem that has truly dogged the
- 31:51Speaker 2: United States when we've gone in to liberate a country.
- 31:55Speaker 2: Eventually the anti American voices within those countries say they're
- 32:01Speaker 2: just an occupying force. And there's a reality to that,
- 32:04Speaker 2: not just that what's driven by Russian disinformation. So you
- 32:13Speaker 2: don't want to be an occupying army. And I don't
- 32:15Speaker 2: think Trump wants to be an occupying army. His actions
- 32:18Speaker 2: have not inferred that he likes being an occupying army.
- 32:25Speaker 2: So how do I put this in a way that
- 32:32Speaker 2: is the most I don't want to get lost into analogies,
- 32:36Speaker 2: but I have said frequently for habitual users of this program,
- 32:41Speaker 2: I would have been really interested to hear what talk
- 32:45Speaker 2: radio would have sounded like during the American battle for sovereignty,
- 32:53Speaker 2: the battle to oust the British from our shores. I
- 33:00Speaker 2: can hear talk show hostsan again, the United States, the
- 33:03Speaker 2: colonial army. They've got routed Green, Nathaniel Green is being
- 33:09Speaker 2: routed all the way down the James River. He's going
- 33:12Speaker 2: to be in Yorktown soon. And Cornwallace is just waiting
- 33:16Speaker 2: for him in Yorktown. We need a change, we need
- 33:20Speaker 2: Washington isn't getting it done. Washington hasn't won a third
- 33:24Speaker 2: of the battles in this We're just getting our clocks
- 33:27Speaker 2: cleaned by these guys. I mean, I could hear what
- 33:30Speaker 2: talk radio would sound like to be fair. That sounds
- 33:33Speaker 2: more like sports talk radio. But you get the idea.
- 33:38Speaker 2: We don't know what we don't know. I have whispers about,
- 33:42Speaker 2: you know, people who are being trained up in what
- 33:44Speaker 2: it means to have a Second Amendment right to stand
- 33:48Speaker 2: up to tyranny? Is that unfair? Do we believe that
- 33:52Speaker 2: Iranian citizens, just like United States citizens, have a god
- 33:57Speaker 2: given right to defend themselves and arms? Their culture hasn't
- 34:04Speaker 2: allowed that for a long time. So are there boots
- 34:13Speaker 2: on the ground teaching people how to be that militia?
- 34:19Speaker 2: Because the hard part about overthrowing a tyrannical dictatorship is
- 34:24Speaker 2: the tyranny doesn't leave you a lot of time to
- 34:28Speaker 2: meet in the cornfield and practice your rifle shooting, because
- 34:35Speaker 2: it becomes pretty clear pretty quick. So that's just one
- 34:38Speaker 2: of the many things we've been into this morning on
- 34:42Speaker 2: this Jack writes in You're right, it's amazing to me
- 34:51Speaker 2: how guys like Corey Booker act like they're the Senate
- 34:54Speaker 2: leadership when they're seven seats to the minority. I don't
- 34:58Speaker 2: know if it's seven seats like six seats in the minority.
- 35:02Speaker 2: They're not quite the cloture they need. But because they
- 35:08Speaker 2: know how to do it, and they go out there
- 35:10Speaker 2: and they're not afraid to do it. Our friend Tom
- 35:14Speaker 2: Garrett from the Virginia House of Delegates has said frequently
- 35:17Speaker 2: Democrats aren't afraid to lie, but Republicans are afraid to
- 35:21Speaker 2: call them on the truth. And we have to change that.
- 35:27Speaker 2: And I think some of it is that elected Republicans
- 35:32Speaker 2: count on talk radio just to gin up their base
- 35:37Speaker 2: for them, and then they can play moderate for the
- 35:42Speaker 2: middle of the road folks who don't listen to talk
- 35:48Speaker 2: radio but can be persuaded by lower taxes, a couple
- 35:54Speaker 2: of bills about property ownership or whatever, and then they
- 35:58Speaker 2: vote for the standard issue Republican. Never mind the twenty
- 36:06Speaker 2: million extra voters that Chuck Schumer is talking about. When
- 36:12Speaker 2: he was caught on a hot mic there at a
- 36:14Speaker 2: press conference saying.
- 36:19Speaker 1: The same act as Jim Crow two point zero, more
- 36:22Speaker 1: than twenty million people would lose their right to vote.
- 36:26Speaker 2: As Scott in Virginia Beach pointed out, he said, people
- 36:30Speaker 2: not citizens. That's intentional. It's the same way that to
- 36:34Speaker 2: take Jake from Minnesota. From Minneapolis, the mayor keeps talking
- 36:41Speaker 2: about the folks who live in our city. They're not
- 36:44Speaker 2: talking about citizens. They're talking about these abstract people who
- 36:49Speaker 2: are here, So let's just accept them. You clean up
- 36:53Speaker 2: voter rolls, and purple states are red and blue states
- 36:58Speaker 2: are purple. And that's just the way that is.
- 37:01Speaker 5: Jo.
- 37:02Speaker 20: Here's the thing about what your legislature wants to do
- 37:06Speaker 20: right now, Joe, you know, come on, be reasonable for
- 37:10Speaker 20: a minute.
- 37:11Speaker 2: They just want to temporarily, temporarily.
- 37:15Speaker 7: Suspend your constitution, right, so they can get permanent power.
- 37:20Speaker 2: Right, that's all right, and you can have the constitution
- 37:22Speaker 2: back once they have permanent power. Well, they can permanently
- 37:26Speaker 2: change it. Well, yeah, there's that too. Yeah. Who has
- 37:31Speaker 2: to worry about putting it back?
- 37:32Speaker 3: And who's going to stop them?
- 37:35Speaker 2: That's the biggest question. And that's one of the points
- 37:38Speaker 2: of the Corey Booker story is that here's a guy
- 37:41Speaker 2: who has no lever of authority by the basis of
- 37:45Speaker 2: his elected position, acting like he runs the Senate right
- 37:49Speaker 2: now because he knows that there are procedures designed to
- 37:54Speaker 2: protect the minority voice. Yet Republicans never like using those.

- 44:38Speaker 2: who votes, it's who counts the votes. So we're you know,
- 44:43Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer is talking about the Save America Act when
- 44:46Speaker 2: he gets on his high horse talking about twenty million people?
- 44:50Speaker 1: Is Jim Crow two point zero?
- 44:52Speaker 2: Yeah? And I bring this up and actually I went
- 44:54Speaker 2: for this quote, not just for the twenty million that
- 44:57Speaker 2: he admitted to, but here in our flagsh state of Virginia,
- 45:01Speaker 2: we are the center square of redistricting right now. We're
- 45:05Speaker 2: in a forty five day election cycle. The Supreme Court
- 45:09Speaker 2: has abdicated. We were talking about that earlier with Mike's
- 45:13Speaker 2: call that they the Supreme Court has said we can't
- 45:17Speaker 2: do anything. Despite egregious violations of the law, because apparently,
- 45:22Speaker 2: if you're the legislature, you're allowed to violate the law
- 45:25Speaker 2: in order to do things that would be patently unallowable otherwise.
- 45:34Speaker 2: And then you'll rule later once you see what the
- 45:36Speaker 2: vote total is. And that's and so the General Assembly leaders,
- 45:44Speaker 2: including people who've taken big bangs of cash from Don Scott,
- 45:50Speaker 2: from Eric Holder, former Attorney General of the United States.
- 45:54Speaker 2: You have three hundred thousand dollars at first just to
- 45:57Speaker 2: get the General Assembly to call a special session to
- 46:02Speaker 2: redraw the congressional maps. And now they've dumped twenty million
- 46:06Speaker 2: dollars worth of advertising into Virginia. And you know, we
- 46:10Speaker 2: played for you the ad. Many people were saying to me, Joe,
- 46:14Speaker 2: what are the Conservatives doing? Well? They had recorded this
- 46:17Speaker 2: brilliant ad you know, of black leaders in their communities
- 46:23Speaker 2: pushing back against the redistrict thing. We've seen this before.
- 46:28Speaker 22: They count our bodies for representation.
- 46:31Speaker 2: But pass sham laws to silence our voices.
- 46:35Speaker 10: They'll let us on the bus, but tell us where
- 46:38Speaker 10: to sit.
- 46:41Speaker 8: They tell us be quiet, tell us to stay in
- 46:44Speaker 8: the back.
- 46:45Speaker 2: In the back, in the back, in the back, in
- 46:48Speaker 2: the back, in the back of the bus.
- 46:50Speaker 20: But we didn't fight to sit down.
- 46:52Speaker 2: We didn't stand up just to be silence. So this
- 46:56Speaker 2: is a gatekeeper's VA. Put that ad together and they're
- 47:01Speaker 2: finally getting some money to buy some time on the
- 47:04Speaker 2: digitals in the digital space for it. And that's good.
- 47:08Speaker 2: It's not anywhere close to the ten or twenty million
- 47:13Speaker 2: dollars the pro redistricting anti trumpers are. They'll call them
- 47:19Speaker 2: out for what they are. They're only trying to do this,
- 47:21Speaker 2: and one of their ads they actually say, this is
- 47:24Speaker 2: to stop Trump. So they're never Trumpers, they're anti trumpers,
- 47:28Speaker 2: whatever you want to call them. Trying to redraw the
- 47:32Speaker 2: district in Fairfax County. If you look at the map,
- 47:36Speaker 2: Fairfax County, Virginia has five congressional districts, all coming out
- 47:45Speaker 2: of one county. This is dividing communities in among themselves.
- 47:51Speaker 2: And why is it a black versus white issue? Well,
- 47:54Speaker 2: the black communities are the ones that seem to be,
- 47:57Speaker 2: by vote voter history, the most predominantly Democrat dominated. So
- 48:03Speaker 2: let's cut up the black community and give them a
- 48:07Speaker 2: bunch of white Democrats rather than perhaps a black one
- 48:15Speaker 2: representing them, because they want more Democrats in the Virginia
- 48:19Speaker 2: Congressional delegation. And so while the Supreme Court has said, no,
- 48:27Speaker 2: we're going to wait till after we see how the
- 48:28Speaker 2: votes come out. This is going to be our Supreme
- 48:31Speaker 2: Court jurisprudence. It's going to sound like this, Oh, this
- 48:37Speaker 2: is the way the winds blown. So the John Roberts
- 48:41Speaker 2: justice system, it's the way John Roberts decides things. What's
- 48:48Speaker 2: gonna get me yelled at when I get home. I'm
- 48:51Speaker 2: sorry if that sounds dismissive. Maybe a perfectly nice fella.
- 48:56Speaker 2: My daughter got to meet him during the opening of
- 48:59Speaker 2: my peelier James Madison's home. He came as an honored
- 49:05Speaker 2: guest of the of the reopening. They had had to
- 49:10Speaker 2: restore it from it was being turned into an arboretum
- 49:13Speaker 2: or something like that. So they're trying to take away
- 49:24Speaker 2: people's voices. And so Don Scott, who took one hundred
- 49:28Speaker 2: and fifty thousand dollars from Eric Holder, said, you know
- 49:32Speaker 2: the civil rights movement, where these folks are talking about
- 49:36Speaker 2: going to the back of the bus. Conservative black man
- 49:40Speaker 2: ac Cordoza has a political action committee out there putting
- 49:44Speaker 2: out mailers. Comparing this to the civil rights movement, and
- 49:48Speaker 2: now they're all saying that the civil rights movement is
- 49:51Speaker 2: not a prop not twelve hours after Chuck Schumer said.
- 49:55Speaker 1: This the same act as Jim Crow two point zero.
- 50:00Speaker 2: The white Jewish man from New York is going to
- 50:03Speaker 2: tell y'all back in chains, right, Joe Biden, greatest hits
- 50:07Speaker 2: of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. And understand, I'm debating with
- 50:16Speaker 2: you on a subject that I don't even think should
- 50:19Speaker 2: be a subject because the nineteen twenty nine Act for
- 50:23Speaker 2: Permanent Redistricting Reapportionment has created this scenario. We wouldn't have
- 50:32Speaker 2: this problem if we had a constitutionally based number of
- 50:36Speaker 2: congressional districts. Redistricting wouldn't be this battle for who gains
- 50:42Speaker 2: votes and who doesn't, because it is classically politicians picking
- 50:50Speaker 2: their voters rather than the other way around. So we
- 50:55Speaker 2: have to stand up for that, and the black community
- 50:58Speaker 2: is raising up against that. That might even be good news.
- 51:02Speaker 2: I've told you that if you base the new Virginia
- 51:07Speaker 2: districts on twenty twenty one's election, where Republicans were motivated,
- 51:13Speaker 2: Republicans were energized, and Republicans turned out to vote, the
- 51:19Speaker 2: Democrats actually lose a seat in these new districts because
- 51:23Speaker 2: they've stretched out their power bases so far. So if
- 51:29Speaker 2: you're a Democrat listening in Virginia, I would vote knowing
- 51:32Speaker 2: on these things because you're in peril of losing a
- 51:37Speaker 2: seat in Congress rather than gaining one in the process. Now,
- 51:42Speaker 2: that presumes a motivated Virginia GOP, which is a stretch sometimes,
- 51:48Speaker 2: but I'm told that they are motivated and they want
- 51:53Speaker 2: to get turned out, and I hope you do. And
- 51:55Speaker 2: part of the reason that we're pointing out this story
- 51:58Speaker 2: is that one of the reasons, one of the political
- 52:02Speaker 2: upsides of having ten million, twenty million dollars more than
- 52:06Speaker 2: your opponent is it defeats the supporters of your opponent.
- 52:12Speaker 2: Oh well he's got twenty million dollars, he can't. We
- 52:15Speaker 2: can't beat that. Well, you can't outraise that because this
- 52:19Speaker 2: is outside money trying to twist your elections around, take
- 52:26Speaker 2: away your voice. But if you if you go on
- 52:30Speaker 2: there this this mailer because the Attorney General double tap
- 52:35Speaker 2: got involved in it, it's become news without having to
- 52:39Speaker 2: pay for more mailings. Good job, way to get free media. Anyway.
- 52:43Speaker 2: We will reconvene tomorrow five Eastern until then, I'm Joe Thomas,
- 52:47Speaker 2: So long and thanks for all the fish.
