  Speaker 2: Joe Thomas, the second most famous Thomas and Charlotte Smith.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Thank you for allowing me to be of service to
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: you on this Tedsdy.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: And unlike so many, we are here for you live.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: I was talking to a friend of mine.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Who higher up in the network, and I said, let's
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: it just takes me so much more time that I
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: don't have to concoct or go through. And somebody asked
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: me about best ofs and stuff like that, and you're
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: you're going to be hit with a lot of best
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: of stuff if you listen to talk radio over the
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: holiday weekend. And I've just I find that to be
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: disquieting because when I need news, I don't want to
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: hear like last week's news. And even if you've had
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: a notable interview with somebody, I'm not doing this for
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: the art of it.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: I you know that interview existed at that.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Moment in time and is relevant to the things that
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: were going on at that time and not necessarily to
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: where we are today. So I just I just have
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: never I've never been sanguined with it. I've tried it.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: I've tried it, and it just I feel itchy. I
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: just I can't sleep properly, just like, oh, I'm just
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: because there's a rule in my business that all it
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: takes is one button push and you're done. And I
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: was honored some years ago a research project was done
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: by a notable consultant in radio, and they said that
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: my my tune in factor was as high as a
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: fellow that recently passed away that had a golden microphone,
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: and I was quite an honor. He said he had
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: never seen a situation where listeners said.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Oh, you know, we tuned into the station for Joe.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: I was an honor. He said he had.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Never seen one where my numbers were higher than where
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: the local guy's numbers were higher than russ limbaws, and
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Russia's were pretty high, and it was a good deal
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: to it that you know, it gives you comfort, but
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: it also says that there's still people who go, I
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: don't I don't know what he's talking about here, or
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: I'm looking for the news, darn it. And there's a
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: whole bunch of olds, which is what I always feel
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: like when we're playing best ofs and stuff. So we
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: are here live to break it all down for you.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: We will be here tomorrow morning as the roast starts
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: to roast and the wafting smells start to get in there,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: and we'll give thanks for the things that we need
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: to give thanks for live tomorrow morning and black Friday
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: as we try to survive what we discussed yesterday, Blackout
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Friday or Blackout Wednesday?
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Like, really, is that what we've come to?
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: And I received an email yesterday after the show saying
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: that they appreciated our coverage of Blackout Wednesday, but after
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: the election results they were considering participating in. Come on, man,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: it's not that bad. I'm sure we've got progressives who
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: are out there are going to try to get there.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: A boy and their gun grab on and all of that,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: and we'll keep pushing back at it. We made it
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: through eight years of Barack Obama. Our first things for
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: this Ted's d Morning. President Donald Trump upheld the Thanksgiving tradition,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: but had a little fun yesterday pardoning two North Carolina turkeys,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Gobble and Wobble. The lighthearted Rose Garden ceremony blended some
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: holiday humor, as.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: The News reports, cover it.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: He took some shots at former President Joe Biden's use
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: of the auto pen for pardons, saying that last year's
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: ceremonies were invalid, so he retroactively pardoned Peach and Blossom
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: from last year's ceremony. The new geolocation tool in the
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: social media platform X is exposing what they're saying our
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: waves of social media influencing from foreign powers. X released
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: the geolocation of major influential accounts and discovered fake postings
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: from sites claiming to be US based. Notably, there were
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: so called Maga accounts that appeared to support President Donald
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Trump and his policies, but often posted critically of Israel
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: and Ukraine. I have long said foreign actors are using
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: social media to poison our politics. Former UN Ambassador Nikki
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Haley posted on X she said it's a huge win
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: for transparency and American security. President Trump is not considering
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: a straight two year extension of Obamacare subsidies that was
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: reported in Reuters yesterday. He did say his plan to
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: end the war in Ukraine has been fined tuned and
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: sent the new versions off with Steve Witkoff to meet
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: with President Vladimir Putin and Army Secretary Dan Driscoll to
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: meet with Ukrainian officials. Meanwhile, in a speech acquired by Reuters,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski said that his government is ready
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: to move forward with the US backed peace deal with
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: the backing of the so called Coalition of the Willing.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: He said European leaders hashed out of framework for a
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: reassurance force. The FDA is recalling forty one thousand bottles
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: of Walgreen nasal spray over concerns they were contaminated with
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Pseudomnus lactis. It's a bacteria found in raw milk. The
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: specific spray affected is the one point five ounce bottle
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: of Walgreen's Saline nasal Spray with Xylotol. And the Utah
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Legislator legislature announced on Tuesday plans to appeal the state's
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: congressional map that was just redrawn by the League of
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Women Voters to give an extra Democrat seat in the
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: area around Salt Lake City. And those are our first
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: things for this Tednesday morning.

  Speaker 7: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

  Speaker 9: Hi, everybody, I'm Jackhannah, and it's always a boy. Growing
• 10:01
  Speaker 9: up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 9: I'm not only in alle of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 9: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the

  Speaker 9: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
• 10:15

  Speaker 9: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
• 10:21
  Speaker 9: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
• 10:23
  Speaker 9: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 10:25
  Speaker 9: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29
  Speaker 9: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 10:32
  Speaker 9: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
• 10:35
  Speaker 9: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
• 10:38
  Speaker 9: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
• 10:41

  Speaker 1: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 12: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,

  Speaker 12: art and brain.

• 13:11
  Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Thank you for joining us on this Ted Steve So,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: here's the crazy made gas lid world we're in. So
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: news story breaks that accounts using and you can use
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: the geolocation bid as well. And I suggest you do
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: when you read stuff on the internet, as I think
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: anything you read on the internet should be vetted first
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: because number one algorithms, will you take a long, loving
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: look at your prior history and they.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: Will tailor it.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: I mean it's it's creepy to a great degree to
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: watch how much can be tailored to what you've already
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: looked for in Internet searches, so they can create echo
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: chambers of their own. It used to be you had
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: to work the old fashioned way and get a bunch
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: of newspeople to echo chamber something before you could start
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: swaying public opinion.
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: And it is a bigger abstract than this story out
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: of the land of X where a lot of.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Fake accounts have been promoting fake things, and it's not new.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: It goes back here in our flagship. I still have
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: clothes that smell like pepper spray from my coverage that
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: people use against me all the time. I went down and.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: Was there one of the rare people who.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: You will hear talk about the riots of twenty seventeen
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: that was actually there, and so I can tell you
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: the truth, unlike an X feed that's just going to
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: become a reinforcement tool of things you already believe.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: And that's fine.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, sometimes you got to vet anything, and it's
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: using that interest in vetting and double sourcing to create
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: this echo chamber. So when you when you read things,
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: you've got to do due diligence, and you have to
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: be aware that people are trying to make you believe
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: things in order to win elections. And it doesn't matter
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: whether you agree or disagree. This is why we're supposed
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: to have essential truths and that democracy. This is something
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: that Greeks learned at the very beginning of what we
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: call Western civilization that pure democracy becomes like this. When
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: you become totally and solely reliant on democratic process for
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: every decision, you have no choice but to as a
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: society devolving into.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: This hateful, divisive.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Name calling that's going to drive only a certain portion
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: of people to even stay engaged, and then they can
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: be manipulated into giving the authoritarians the.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: Power that they want.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: And the first rule I always go through is is
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: there something essentially right or wrong that I can find
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: a piece of information to go through it. This is
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: how we wind up with weird narratives coming out of
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: this show. When it comes to your Korean in Russia
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: for example, Israel and Hamas for example, I'm not all
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: on one side or another of others. I'm fascinated with
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: how Hamas can get itself rebranded as a marginalized group,
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: and I'm concerned that if they can do it, who
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: else can be I mean, outside of Caucasian white men.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: There was a redundancy apologies for that.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Outside of Caucasian men, I can't imagine a group that
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: couldn't get branded in this media marketplace as a marginalized community.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: We just went through this Ukraine stuff yesterday on the program.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: You don't have the right to invade a sovereign country,
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: even if you claim you were duped. There are processes
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: in which you can adjudicate that DuPage. If Russia's argument
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: was that they were fooled or that Yeltsin was drunk
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: or whatever when they agreed to Ukraine's sovereignty, there are
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: you go to the Hague, go petition it, ask for
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: the thing. You have lawyers in Russia, right. You don't
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: get to just send divisions of tanks into sovereign countries
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: once you've agreed that their sovereign country. This is where
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: rule of law has to apply. Interestingly, as Nourenberg still
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: struggles to get anyone to go watch it in the theaters,
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: except for Elise Slotkin, US Senator, who loves to bring
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: up Nourenberg in the defense of the indefensible and her
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: disobey the orders video, which by the way, has led
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: to pretty good fundraising takes from these senators Mark Kelly's
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: officers reporting that they're just having bags of cash thrown
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: at them. And this doesn't surprise me. Here in Virginia,
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: our new Attorney General elect Jay Jones said that he
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: wanted to put two bullets in the head of a
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: political rival, the head of the Republican Caucus, Todd Gilbert,
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: and then when queried about it, instead of backing down
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: like everyone usually does, he doubled down and said, well, yeah,
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: I think people deserve if we're going to fight guns,
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: people should wind up suffering the pain of gun violence.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: He defended it, and he's our attorney general starting in January.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: What do you think he's going to do a little
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: old radio shows that broadcast to the nation from Virginia.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: You don't think he's going to investigate first thing today
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: by Joe Thomas. You don't think he's going to come
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: looking for Thomas media for different things. Oh and so
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: my accountants are already making sure we're buttoned up. Every
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: tax dollar is paid. As a matter of fact, if
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: there's a rounding error, we're paying more just to make
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: sure that Jay Jones don't find the easy stuff. They'll
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: make up stuff. Remember, if you can't get somebody to sing,
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: get them to compose. But we hold these interesting positions
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: because I don't just go with what the echo chamber says.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: And if there's an echo chamber, I immediately start to feel
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: like something queer about that. I mean in the original
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: form of the meaning of that word. But you've got
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: to double triple source everything, and if something just seems
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: to reinforce what you already believe, go and find things

  Speaker 3: His book came out and the publisher sent me some notes.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't agree with this guy at all,
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: but he's interesting, and so we talked a little bit
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: before the show, and he may not be exactly what
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: the publisher is portraying him to be, but he does

  Speaker 4: Thank you for letting me be of service to you.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: Mike Bedenbaugh has written a book called Reviving the Republic,
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: and Reviving the Republic is out. It's a book, and
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: I was reading the publisher's notes and I don't know
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: where Mike and I go on some of this stuff,
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: but it starts off with his he's got a plan
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: for a twenty twenty six project to follow up the
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty five project from the Heritage Foundation, and things
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: like that that I'm like, hang on the second and here,
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: what do you know?
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: What are you thinking about?
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: Because we've gone into the project twenty twenty five and
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: what it really is versus what the narrative is. So
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: it was a little I don't know where this guy's
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: coming from, but I thought the concept and where it
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: was coming from on the book was interesting enough, and
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: especially as Thanksgiving is bearing down on us, and there
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: may be people at the table that don't necessarily agree
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: with you on everything, but at the end of the day,
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: our free will is got to be at the stake.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: And as we watch what's going on on x we
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: were just talking about Mike Betdenbaugh is on with us.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: The book is reviving the reviving our Republic. Mike, thank
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: you for taking time with us before Thanksgiving.
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: How are you doing?
• 29:47
  Speaker 12: I am great, Joe, how are you doing today?
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: Well, you know what, I remind myself that I have
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: things to be grateful for. I don't take that much work,
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: but a lot of my listeners sometimes need to be
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: reminded of how lucky we are here regardless of an
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: election result. And I guess over the number of miles
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: on my odometer, it breaks my heart how much we
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: have wound up getting tied into the political world and
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: the results.
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: Of an election.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: Because I mean I used to do top forty shock
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: jock radio and you'd have to call me three times
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: to remind me that all elections are coming up in November.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: So I think the majority of Americans aren't as ardently
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: connected to the world of politics. But it's everywhere. It's
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: in the news, it's on the news feeds. So even
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: people who would have ignored it twenty years ago, they
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: they're at least in some way, shape or form impacted
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: by it.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: Is that sort of where you came from when you
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: wanted to put this book together? Well, yeah, I mean.
• 30:59
  Speaker 12: I've always been interested in politics. I actually when I
• 31:03
  Speaker 12: got out of the Navy. I served in the Navy
• 31:05
  Speaker 12: in the eighties and I got out and I took
• 31:08
  Speaker 12: in school Soviet studies, Russian studies. I've always been founded
• 31:12
  Speaker 12: with international affairs primarily, but then I also served as
• 31:17
  Speaker 12: a city councilman here in my small town I live
• 31:20
  Speaker 12: in Prosperity, South Carolina, And you know, I just ran
• 31:24
  Speaker 12: as an independent for Congress. So I've always seen the
• 31:28
  Speaker 12: responsibility of citizenship and always took that very serious. And
• 31:33
  Speaker 12: I did recognize that most people were just just leave
• 31:36
  Speaker 12: me alone. Let me make sure I can get a
• 31:38
  Speaker 12: job and work and not pay much attention but with
• 31:41
  Speaker 12: the past ten twenty years, more and more people are
• 31:44
  Speaker 12: paying attention now.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and I know that. One of the things
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: that bothers me is that there are people who, you know,
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: take their public service and it certainly is a public
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: responsibility voting, but it's not a public service, you know.
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: I've worked the soup kitchens, I've raised I've seen the
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: bottoms of enough dunk tanks, raising money for fire departments
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: and things like that. That doing things for your community
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: does not end at the end of election day when
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: somebody has chosen as your delegate or state senator. I
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: should note, for those of us who get in trouble
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: every time they bring up Martin Luther, the subtitle of
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: your book is ninety five Theses for the Future of America.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: And that was intentional, if I understand correctly that you
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: wanted to kind of take that Martin Luther approach to
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: how the American Republic has become over the last two
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: hundred and forty nine years so far.
• 32:44
  Speaker 12: Well, yeah, I like the that I grew up in
• 32:48
  Speaker 12: a Lutheran area of South Carolina. My beaten ball Ancestors
• 32:52
  Speaker 12: team were loose when they came in seventeen fifty and so,
• 32:57
  Speaker 12: as a student of history, I love the medical of
• 33:00
  Speaker 12: a single person, a monk in a small town in Germany,
• 33:05
  Speaker 12: who took created ninety five ideas that he thought the
• 33:09
  Speaker 12: Catholic Church at the time should have known, saw his
• 33:12
  Speaker 12: indulgences the sixteenth century Catholic Church had abused, and nailed
• 33:17
  Speaker 12: them on a door to say, this is a stark
• 33:20
  Speaker 12: reminder of what you're doing wrong.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: Let's discuss. And so I like that.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 33:25
  Speaker 12: I combine that with George Washington's farewell address, where after
• 33:30
  Speaker 12: he voluntarily gave up power, he left a letter to the.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: People ahead of.
• 33:38
  Speaker 12: Okay, you have a republic. Here's how you keep it,
• 33:42
  Speaker 12: Here's what you have to do, Here's the things you
• 33:44
  Speaker 12: have to be careful of. And I dissected out of
• 33:46
  Speaker 12: that and created forty policy points that are embedded in
• 33:50
  Speaker 12: these ninety five thesis that I think will help correct
• 33:54
  Speaker 12: the ship of state.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: One of the things that I think you and I
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: are most common on is the concentration of power, and
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: I get in trouble in my circles Mike for bringing
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: up One of the things that I think is most
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: fascinating to me is if you read the original.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: Draft the proposed Bill of Rights.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: This a list of things that Patrick Henry and George
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: Mason and James Monroe felt like, were these singular most
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: important things to do to defend against an overly powerful
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: centralized government. The very first thing they listed was small, compact,
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: contiguous congressional representative districts. They suggested no larger than fifty thousand.
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: I will nod.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: To the fact that that was when we traveled by horseback,
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: so you might be able to get away with one
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: hundred thousand. But gosh, we have seven hundred and fifty
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: thousand people in each congressional district now, and we want
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: much How we're being torn apart at the at this
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: rearranging the deck chairs of redistricting going on, is that
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: one of the things you know, you're talking about curbing monopolies.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: I think, gosh, government has become so centralized as well,
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: never mind.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: Our broadcast and retail industries.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: Is that, you know, out of the realm of what
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: you thought about.
• 35:28
  Speaker 12: Oh absolutely, I mean, like I say, I ran for
• 35:30
  Speaker 12: Congress as an independent, and we have two big party
• 35:35
  Speaker 12: machines here. Of course, the Republican Party is the most
• 35:38
  Speaker 12: but it's in my opinion. Here in South Carolina, there
• 35:41
  Speaker 12: was a machine made by Lee Atwater back in the
• 35:44
  Speaker 12: eighties that is impenetrable, and you have to sign certain
• 35:48
  Speaker 12: pacts with them that I just don't agree with. So
• 35:50
  Speaker 12: I ran as an independent, but you know, seven hundred
• 35:54
  Speaker 12: and fifty thousand people in one district is not representation
• 36:00
  Speaker 12: because my opponent, my Republican opponent, was able to raise
• 36:04
  Speaker 12: nine hundred thousand dollars. Half of that came from out
• 36:08
  Speaker 12: of the district to ensure that she would have a monopoly.
• 36:12
  Speaker 12: And so what has happened is representatives are representing their donors,
• 36:18
  Speaker 12: their supporters, the gatekeepers to a system, and not really
• 36:24
  Speaker 12: on the ground people like we need to and I
• 36:26
  Speaker 12: agree with you, I don't know what size it should be.
• 36:28
  Speaker 12: I mean we have to take into account how big
• 36:30
  Speaker 12: can an affection a functional house be. You know, right
• 36:35
  Speaker 12: now it's four hundred something members. Can it function at
• 36:38
  Speaker 12: two thousand members? I think there's waysing, but we'd at
• 36:41
  Speaker 12: least have to have this discussion a serious one.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: Well, it's funny because I got into a debate about
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: the Permanent Reapportionment Act of nineteen twenty nine. And yes,
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: as you stare at your radio. Yes, I actually have
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: conversations about the Permanent Reapportionment Act of nineteen twenty nine.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: Welcome to my world.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: And I pointed out, I said, these were the Dixiecrats
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: who were panic stricken over the black communities growing prosperous.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: This are the same things that they wanted to break
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: up the Black Wall Street in Oklahoma. And they said,
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: holy cow, these freed slaves are getting too much power.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: And so they said, well, if we cap the size
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: of the house, then we can. We can jerry Mander
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: and keep these communities from gaining their own political voice,
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: which they would have very quickly at that point. And
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: I don't think a lot of people realize that that's
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: how we wind up with four hundred and thirty five
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: people as a static number. And the population has tripled
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: since that time, Mike. And so even if we don't
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: go back to the fifty thousand of George Mason, you know,
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: at least, you know, triple the house. So we have
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: a better grasp on being able to.

  Speaker 2: Absolute from the home of the First Amendment, First Thing Today,
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: The First Thing.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: Today on this Ted Steve Morning and Mike Bedenbaugh. Beidenbaugh
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: on with us from Preservation, South Carolina, author of the
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: book Reviving Our Republic, and Mike Race. We went to
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: break and of course I'm just on a jam and
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: I wanted to ask you about your thought on what
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: I was saying regarding the size and the at least
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: getting back to where we were in nineteen twenty nine
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: when it comes to number of citizens per Congress people.
• 44:47
  Speaker 12: Well, I agree with you, and I think with the
• 44:49
  Speaker 12: way communications are happening now. But the revolution in how
• 44:54
  Speaker 12: we can communicate and build communities in technology, I think
• 44:59
  Speaker 12: there's a way we could have a functional House of
• 45:01
  Speaker 12: Representatives with over well over a thousand people and so,
• 45:06
  Speaker 12: but right now I know it's not working, so we
• 45:09
  Speaker 12: have to be open to the other.
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 45:11
  Speaker 12: The other flip point of this also is the Senate.
• 45:14
  Speaker 12: And I love it when I'm talking with someone that
• 45:18
  Speaker 12: knows their history. And the Senate was always meant to
• 45:23
  Speaker 12: represent the members of the federal government, which were the states,
• 45:27
  Speaker 12: the state govern and when we did away with that
• 45:31
  Speaker 12: in the seventeenth Amendment, I think we over politicized Congress
• 45:35
  Speaker 12: to where there is no checks against short term trauma
• 45:40
  Speaker 12: trends and mobism that can come out of the House
• 45:44
  Speaker 12: on tragic events nine to eleven or things like that.
• 45:49
  Speaker 12: We need a state as enforced in Congress, and that's
• 45:52
  Speaker 12: something it might take a while to convince people to
• 45:54
  Speaker 12: do it, but again we got to have that discussion.
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: Well, I think considering the fiscal state the federal government is.
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: You know, if you were called one of the jobs
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: of a senator was to go back to the state
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: capitals and say, okay, here's what the budget looks like
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: we can we fund our share. And that's why the
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: Senate had this great control over the budget because they
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: had to go back to the states and collect the
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: membership fees, which created the federal budget. And now we gosh,
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: you know, so sixteenth and seventeenth amendments of really you know,
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: taking the direct income tax and eliminating the states step
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: in between. I really think has created a big Washington
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: beyond all the other stuff you talk about with big
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: because I think one feeds the other. You get rid
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: of big Washington, and then you get rid of big
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: media and big retail and big Menu, big Pharma because
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: they're K Street doesn't have the power it used to.
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: That's right, that's right.
• 46:56
  Speaker 12: And you know, we've grown a little bit with this
• 47:00
  Speaker 12: myth that the larger the success, the bigger the company,
• 47:03
  Speaker 12: means good because people are successful. I absolutely pushed back
• 47:07
  Speaker 12: on because living here, well, you're there in rural western
• 47:11
  Speaker 12: Virginia and I'm here in rural South Carolina. I have
• 47:14
  Speaker 12: seen how the corporate power has extracted capital out of
• 47:19
  Speaker 12: small communities and people. I'm doing a history of my
• 47:23
  Speaker 12: hometown prosperity, and I can look in that, I can
• 47:27
  Speaker 12: look at the data of when my town was formed
• 47:29
  Speaker 12: in eighteen ninety and everybody, so many people own their
• 47:33
  Speaker 12: own businesses. Well, now those people's grandchildren and great grandchildren
• 47:38
  Speaker 12: are just managers in a large corporate outlet somewhere in
• 47:42
  Speaker 12: a city nearby. Oh yeah, you know, it's taken away
• 47:46
  Speaker 12: people's ability of their own community sovereignty.
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: To readdress that and get back to that.
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: I agreed completely on that. You know, I thought we
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: were going to disagree. I'm a little disappointed Mike being
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: baws hun with us. I thought we were going to
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: have more to Well, we'll get into the whole project
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty five a little bit later in the program
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: Plenty to do this morning as we head into Thanksgiving
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: and you know, the yams are boiling.
• 48:10

• 48:51
  Speaker 18: I kind of agree with you, But you know what
• 48:53
  Speaker 18: the trick is, you don't want to procrastinate because you're
• 48:56

• 49:02
  Speaker 18: the season a little bit, you know. More So, I
• 49:04
  Speaker 18: think it's important to try to get a jump on
• 49:06
  Speaker 18: your holiday shopping and I've partnered with a few brands
• 49:09
  Speaker 18: to give you ideas to help give you that head.
• 49:11

• 49:14
  Speaker 18: Okay, So you know, financially, you know, a lot of
• 49:17

• 49:20

• 49:23
  Speaker 18: you're planning for the holiday season or you've got your
• 49:26

  Speaker 3: are there hot things that people are looking for? Is
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: it digital? Is it technology?
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: Is it ai? I mean? What is what is driving
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: the holiday gift giving?
• 50:07
  Speaker 18: You know, there are a lot of different you know
• 50:12
  Speaker 18: drivers this holiday, but you know it's always about the kids, right,
• 50:15
  Speaker 18: I mean that should be. That's kind of the center
• 50:17
  Speaker 18: of our gift giving and that's no different this year.
• 50:21
  Speaker 18: And Mattel has lots of ideas for everyone from Barbies
• 50:25
  Speaker 18: to Huo and even more. But one idea that I'm
• 50:29
  Speaker 18: really loving right now is the Imagine Next Ultimate Action
• 50:33
  Speaker 18: Chop t Rex. This is such a cool giant action figure,
• 50:37
  Speaker 18: especially if you have kids that are fans of Jurassic World,
• 50:40
  Speaker 18: like my kids are.
• 50:42
  Speaker 12: So I wish you.
• 50:43
  Speaker 18: Could see it because it's huge. It's eighteen inches tall,
• 50:46
  Speaker 18: oh god, thirty inches long. It rumbles, it roars, it
• 50:49
  Speaker 18: moves its head, it lights up, there's removable launchers. It
• 50:53
  Speaker 18: can even hold like action figures in its mouth, so
• 50:55
  Speaker 18: it's super super fun. My kids love re enacting from
• 51:00
  Speaker 18: Jurassic World Rebirth, and I personally love. I mean, I
• 51:03
  Speaker 18: think parents out there all agree that any screen free play,
• 51:07
  Speaker 18: especially when they're using their imagination, it's exactly the kind
• 51:11
  Speaker 18: of gift we want to give the holiday.
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: Amen to that, although I do know that, you know,
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: my kids have been telling me there have been some
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: new gaming system stuff that has been working on.
• 51:21
  Speaker 18: Absolutely, you know, my kids are kind of in between,
• 51:24
  Speaker 18: you know, playing with the Jurassic Park, you know, characters,
• 51:28
  Speaker 18: and video games. They're nine and eleven, so the video
• 51:31
  Speaker 18: games are definitely also on our list, and Sega will
• 51:34
  Speaker 18: have something for everyone this holiday, but my kids are
• 51:38
  Speaker 18: especially excited about this game is called Sonic Racing Crossworlds.
• 51:43
  Speaker 18: What's so cool about it is, you know it's Sonic,
• 51:46
  Speaker 18: and we all love Sonic the Hedgehog. But in this game,
• 51:49
  Speaker 18: you can race across land, sea, air, and even space.
• 51:53
  Speaker 18: And what's so cool about this is, you know Hasnic
• 51:56
  Speaker 18: travels around through these rings, right, but this allows you
• 52:00
  Speaker 18: to get transported to all these new dimensions by going
• 52:03
  Speaker 18: through these travel rings.
• 52:05
  Speaker 5: And I love that you can.
• 52:06
  Speaker 18: Either play by yourself or you can play as a team,
• 52:08
  Speaker 18: which my family loves to do. And you can even

  Speaker 18: customize your own Ultimate Racing Machine. So Sonic Racing Cross
