  Speaker 8: II im doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to

• 8:31
  Speaker 8: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  Speaker 8: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 8: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and

• 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 2: From the home of the First Amendment. First thing today.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Ah, Yes, just good business, Jack, open fire, Oh the
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: business of war. Kareem texts in spike in gas prices
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: that infrastructure is taking years to rebuild. Hasn't the US
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: been an infrastructure week for the past eight years, to
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: which I responded with pith. Yes, we're sending Special Envoy
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Joe Biden to take over the Katari shovel ready jobs program,
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: but there is a cost to war. President Trump calling
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: on Israel to stop blowing up natural gas fields because
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: here's the thing about natural gas fields. You blow a
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: big hole in one, it's kind of ruined forever. And
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: this is going to be an interesting period. I think
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: next few days, maybe a week, is going to be
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: an interesting period in the historical telling of the Commander
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: in Chief Donald Trump, because by calling on Israel to
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: stop shooting missiles into natural gas fields, because what Israel
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: is doing to Iran is what Iran's trying to do well.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Iran shot at a facility that processes the gas into
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: liquefied natural gas. Israel is going full on salted earth.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Israel wants to make sure Iran has no economy ever again.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: And that's wrong because if you're going to do battle,
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: and I know that there is the theory that you
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: just go scorched earth, and maybe the couple of missile
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: strikes into the Iranian natural gas fields is enough to
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: wake up the people in Iran that Israel was not
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: about to pull the plug on a scorched earth strategy
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: first invented by the Union Armies in Atlanta and Scottsville
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: and their march through the South. But the here's the trouble.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: If your economy is built on producing what they like
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: to call fossil fuels, and you blow up the fossil
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: fuel fields, then what's their economy going to be if
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: you ever get a peace settlement, I mean, if you're
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: already dealing with a group of people who, for all
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: the right reasons, we didn't want them to have nuclear
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: weapon technology, because the ideologically unhinged batch within their belief
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: structure in their theocracy have no problem blowing themselves up
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: along with you. The thing about nuclear annihilation is it
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: only works as a deterrent if the other guy doesn't
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: want to die. So was it crete? You know, they
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: salted the earth so nothing would ever grow there. Again,
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: we're not inventing new military strategies, but how do you
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: get Iran to stop and to you know, modernize your
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: by attacking the very source of their economic you know,
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: the very source of their economy, you're just guaranteeing that
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: they're going to strap on as many bomb vests as
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: they can and go out swinging. And so this is
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: going to be where you know, Trump, along with Witkoff
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: and the rest of the international team and Marco Rubio
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: are going to be put to the test. This is
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: your Yalta moment because Israel wants to go salted earth here.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Israel wants to make sure that Iran is, as we
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: used to say in the early nineteen eighties, a parking lot.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: What President Trump does, and I think we've already seen
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: a signal of it when he called Prime Minister net
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Yahoo and said stop with bombing the oil fields, and
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Netanyahu did it. So I don't know what Trump said
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: to Netanya, who carthage, Thank you, Kareem. I'm going to
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: give Kareem an honorary membership in the research Department, probably
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: because he's up earlier than Eddie is. And it is
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: difficult in war because when President Trump's in Dover yesterday
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: and the flag drapes, coffins start coming back. We're humans.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: We want to revenge. We want to kill the bastards
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: that killed our people. That's natural statesmanship, and history will
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: look back on leaders who do things like when George
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: Washington turned in his commission at the end of the
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: American Revolution rather than allowing the Continental Congress to affix
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: his head with the crown as King of America, King
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: George the First of America. That's what they wanted to do.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: That's what they understood. That's what the political leaders of
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: the time understood was in the warrior, become the king.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: It's good to be the king. And in that single
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: moment in Annapolis, Washington turned the tide on that. And
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: there's plenty of people saying, you know, forty seven years,
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: let's bomb them into the parking lot that we yelled
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: about in nineteen seventy seven while they were holding our hostages.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: Let get our hostages and bomb them into a parking lot.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: And while it's understandable. It's what makes leadership different than
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: pure democracy, because if you vote on everything and you
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: get people mad enough, you become manipulatable. It's what was
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: happening in Orwell's depiction of nineteen eighty four. The government
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: kept you thinking they were in a constant state of
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: war with some existential threat, and Winston Smith, working in
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: the news business, the propaganda business, started to remember, hold
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: it weren't we enemies with them six years ago? And
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: it was perhaps the last great appearance of Richard Burton. Ever,
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: at least he went out with a good performer. You
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: can say whether or not the film version of eighty
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: four did it justice. I don't know how you do
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: a film version of a book like nineteen eighty four
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: and do it justice. But the cost of war is
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: damaged infrastructure. That's why Eisenhower wanted us to build an
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: interstate highway system, because he saw how easily it was
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: to cripple the Germans by taking out a few key
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: bridges and railway interchanges, and he wanted the United States
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: to develop an infrastructure mentioning Joe Biden's shovel ready jobs
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: wink wink. But the next few days is going to
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: be key. Now, what do they get Iran to put
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: down the trigger and sit down and talk about this
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: like adults, which is generally the major point of a
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: first offensive is to get the opponents to put down
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: their weapons and sit down. So maybe there's some tactical
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: used to Israel at least hitting some oil fields and
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: natural gas fields at the start, But I'm glad Trump
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: stomped them.
• 22:01
  Speaker 15: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National League training for Planet Fitness,

  Speaker 15: activity in a week's time. But here's the thing that
• 22:13
  Speaker 15: one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to be
• 22:15
  Speaker 15: super intense. As a matter of fact, it could just
• 22:18

• 24:07
  Speaker 8: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 8: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 24:18
  Speaker 8: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 24:22
  Speaker 8: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 24:26
  Speaker 8: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 24:31
  Speaker 8: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 24:36
  Speaker 8: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 24:41
  Speaker 8: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

  Speaker 6: Bomb bomb bom bom bomb, I ran.
• 28:19
  Speaker 17: Bom bom bom bom bomb.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: Iran, I'm still trying to find Vince Vance, see if
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: he's if he's getting ready to do a reunion tour.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: I mean they all do. I mean my friends and
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: Zebra have been out on their fiftieth anniversary tour. There.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: They're actually putting out their first album since I think
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: the nineties. Uh, they're coming with it, so I wouldn't
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: at this point in history, Vince Vance and the Vandals
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: get back out there on the road. Eddie, the director
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: of the First Thing This Morning by Joe Thomas research
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: department heard what I said about Kareem's point about Carthage
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: being the one that salted the where the earth salting was,
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: and Eddie says, fact checking the salting of the earth,
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: that Carthage was probably a symbolic myth, and this research
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: department only reports that's that they can prove because salt
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: was very expensive back then. I said, so Israeli missiles
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: and natural gas. Eddie, I appreciate the jump in on that.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: So other things going about as we get into the
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: fixation of voting and the mischaracteration actually you know what,
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: stick a pin in the har Meat Dylden stuff here
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: for a second, and the voter rolls and the redistrict
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: thing and all the other shenanigans that are being played,
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: because I think there is a reason for the stage
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: performance on all of this. But the last point before
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: in a couple of people have asked, did you watch
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: Joe Canton Tucker? You predicted it, Joe, and he was.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: I watched clips subject myself to the entirety of it,
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: and just from what I saw, it was predictable, partially
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: because I predicted it. But let us not go down
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: this as President Trump calls off more missile strikes against Iranian. Well,
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: the future of any Iranian economy their oil and natural
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: gas production capabilities. Let's not fall into the trap that
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: the media tried to sell Americans about Hamas the gig
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: terrorists that Iran would hire whenever they needed to cause
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: some problems. Hamas, probably using money that came from Iran,
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: which came from the Obama administration, rebranded itself as the victim,
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: as the marginalized community that just killed all those people
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: because gosh darn it, nobody's paying attention to us, and
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: I find that to be a perilous position. We are
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: in Iran right now because Iran's missile strikes, etc. Are
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: flailing attempts at a country whose leaders have all been killed.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: Nobody knows who's in charge. It's sort of like that
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: scene from Death of Stalin and Jason Isaacs comes storming
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: in I'm Inventive, Blue sos ours the Great Kakney Burr
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: as a Russian general. It just one of the funniest
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: bits in modern recent film. Anyway. So while Iran is
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: staggering under the assaults, you have the opportunity to say, okay, now,
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: sit down, here's what we're doing. Let's all sit down
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: and come to a reasonable point. We have your attention now.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: But what we can't do is in that effort, forget
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: that Iran for forty seven years have been hiring people
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: to go do terrorism against America, against our allies. If
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: you go to the podcast channel, when we visited with
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: Tom Speciali, who's been studying Iran as long as I've
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: been in radio, it seems like talking about all the
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: different instances that were rooted in Tehran, Let's not pretend
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: that these guys who were just sitting there by the
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: side of the Tigris and Euphrates river and what the
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: heck is that a missile coming at us?
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: What did we do?
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: But that's how some of the media is portraying it,
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: is that Iran is the poor victims of the mean,
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: imperialistic United States who just wants to steal their gas
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: and go home, because that's what the media does. If
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: the United States does a single thing, if we cure homelessness,
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: the United States will have wronged to some other community.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: US government wrecks property rights, cures homelessness film at eleven,
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: even though that's everything they wanted. If Trump's the one
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: that does it, they'll be against it. I wish it
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: was less than that, but it is. So let's be
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: careful and maybe as an inoculation this morning, just remind
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: ourselves that Iran is not the innocent here and there
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: are costs, certainly infrastructural damages. Ask the Marshall Plan. By
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: the way, quick note, dear friend of mine is a
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: history professor at George Mason University, delays out the reconstruction
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: of europe history beautifully. He says, the one country that
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: recovered from World War Two fastest was the one that
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: didn't take the Marshall Plan aid and did it themselves,
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: would be Germany. So as the next few days play out,
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: as I said, this is an important period in the
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: history of the Trump administration because you know his his
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: position in this is going to probably resonate over quite
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: a bit of time. But everyone you're going to be
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: hearing it from is playing this song.
• 35:24
  Speaker 19: I don't know what they have to say. It makes
• 35:27
  Speaker 19: no difference in any way.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Whatever it is, I'm against it.
• 35:31
  Speaker 15: A man about it is, or who commenced it, I'm
• 35:35
  Speaker 15: against this.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: So on the voter roles, because you know it's democracy.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: We all want to have a vote. I mean, and
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: by all, I mean the twenty percent of us that
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: show up, and we want to vote because we hate
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: you all and we want to vote you off the island.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: And we are we are living through a political version
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: of Survivor. And maybe the popularity of Survivor gave these
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: liquid democracy zelots the idea that, ooh, this is good.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: And there's an off ramp of the technocrat movement of
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: the late eighteen hundreds early nineteen hundreds in the United States,
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: led by a fellow named Charles Dodgson. Charles Dodgson is
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: the founding father of things like proxy voting and ranked
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: choice voting and all of the stuff that fell under
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: the banner liquid democracy. If the statistical ability to do
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: estimates and polls were out, he'd be the guy saying, hey,
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: we don't need to actually count votes, we can just
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: do estimates. This is These are the people that give
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: you the estimated census every time there's an argument over
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: whether we should actually count everyone or we should just
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: do an estimated census. This is the liquid democracy crowd.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: And if you've never heard of Charles Dodgson, you're wrong.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: You have heard of Charles Dodgson. He wrote some fiction
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: as well, and it's illuminative to understand just how insane
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: the idea of liquid democracy is when you realize that
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: Charles Dodgson, in order to pay his bills, wrote some
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: fiction under the name Lewis Carroll. So these folks who
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: are fighting for liquid democracy, and everybody votes and will
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: vote four or five times just to get it right.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: These are all people who are following the same mind
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: that gave you Alice in Wonderland. So maybe that helps
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: explain how things are these days.
• 38:02
  Speaker 8: In a study, it was found that thirty three percent

• 41:03
  Speaker 17: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type two diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 17: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 17: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 17: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 17: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
• 41:24
  Speaker 17: diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 17: changes or medication. Listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 17: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop

  Speaker 2: the second most famous Thomas and Charlottesville.
• 44:25
  Speaker 6: Chasing rabbits and you.
• 44:31
  Speaker 7: Tell them all.
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: Same mind, same mind that invented Alice in Wonderland. And
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: and actually I think about it the way the Queen
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: of Hearts ran things. It's kind of a little like
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: what sayd Money in New York is trying to.
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: Do off with his head.
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: But this Charles Johnson and his liquid democracy is one
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: of the aspects of technocracy, to give everyone the feeling
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: that they're all voting for stuff. We like to call
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: it democratsy here or democrazy if you really want to
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: go this route. When they flog around and march around
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: about defending democracy, what they're actually saying is they're trying
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: to defend democratsy because they're Santa Claus. They believe, you know,
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: they will campaign. They have no compunction about lying about
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: the gifts they're going to give and bestow upon you,
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: that everything will be wonderful in your life again, except
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: for all the people who have been told that voted
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: for it and found out they were lied to. But
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: it's at that point, what are you going to do?
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: Vote for a Republican a ah, it's the way he
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: says it. It's just the delivery. So the liquid democracy
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: crowd is still out there saying that Trump just trying
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: to make Oh I don't know, citizens of the United States,
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: the only ones on the voter rolls are pushing back
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: against the Department of Justice. Harmeat Dylan, who we've talked
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: about here before, making a rare appearance on camera because
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: unlike a lot of the other posturers and maybe that's cash,
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: Bettel's job is to go out and get on TV
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: while people like har Meat Dylan are off there doing
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: the work. Put Pam Bondi out there, although I mean,
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: Harmeat Dylan is not uneasy on the eyes. But you
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: put the leggy blonde on TV and what do they
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: call her, Justice Barbie? You put red flag Pam out
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: on TV and let har Meat, do you know, spend
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: the time she would have to spend in makeup and
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: hairstyling doing actual work. So Assistant Attorney General for Civil
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: Rights is getting pushed back from I think it's twenty
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: nine states who have been asked to hand over their
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: voter rolls to the Department of Justice to make sure
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: that they are in compliance with federal law. So you
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: had this thing. It was called Jim Crow. And when
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: Jim Crow was enacted, it was a lot of states
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: saying we don't like the fact that you freed the
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: black people, so we're going to make laws that make
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: it impossible for them to work because we're the states.
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: And the federal government said, well, no, the Constitution says
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: that which we render to you as yours. But if
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: we've made a laws specifically saying what you have done
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: is against the United States law, you can't do it.
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: Just because you're ver doesn't mean you can have a
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: set of laws that are contradictory to the United States.
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: And we are over all the gun grabs and everything
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: else developing quite a legal textbook full of instances where
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: the democratsy junkies try to circumvent us federal law rather
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: than changing it. Let's not forget a lot of these states,
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: like New York, they have congress people that could change
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: the laws, but they'd rather just write their own and
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: ignore because Barack Obama told them that's okay when he
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: said the wacky Tobacci wasn't going to be a chargeable
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: offense anymore to federal officers. So Harmi Dylon is trying
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: to get the voter rolls. She like I earlier in
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: the week, was on Newsmax. We have the e clip
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: of her on Newsmacs with Finnerity talking about this. They're
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: her puzzlement in this.
• 49:01
  Speaker 19: They're getting different excuses. Some of them are giving no excuse.
• 49:04
  Speaker 19: Others are saying that they are state privacy laws that
• 49:08
  Speaker 19: protect the data from the federal government, although that makes
• 49:10
  Speaker 19: no sense when you think about Social Security numbers, which
• 49:13
  Speaker 19: are issued by the Feds. Of course, and you know
• 49:17
  Speaker 19: various other excuses. They don't like our purpose. They're afraid
• 49:20
  Speaker 19: we're going to use it to harass minorities or aliens
• 49:24
  Speaker 19: and so forth. Regardless, we're entitled to this data, and
• 49:28
  Speaker 19: we're going to pursue each of these litigations to its
• 49:30
  Speaker 19: bitter end.
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: And if you don't like the law, change the law.
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's the whole point of the process. Are
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: democratically supported republic But once the law is the law
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: and the federal government has jurisdiction over the voter roles
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: under Funny enough, the Civil rights statutes enacted by the
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: very same or the grand pappies of the the very
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: same Democrats that are opposing their application because it's a
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: Republican applying these Civil Rights era statute saying we want
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: to make sure that you're not punishing the minorities in
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: your community with another minority. This is why it's another
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: quiver arrow in my quiver of the point I make
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: that we're not facing a new civil war. We're battling
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: the same old one. The players are the same. The
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: issue is the same permanent underclass of people who the
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: defenders of their existence claim are doing a kindness for
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: them by getting them to clean up after their visit
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: to the coffee shop, or to take care of their
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: granddaughter while they go to the club. It's the same
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: stuff time and time again, and I'm starting to win
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: converts to this. People are like, no, we're having a
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: new civil war. We want to have a new civil war.
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: We want to have our civil war. No, we're not
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: facing our new civil war. We've just been not paying
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: attention while the old one reignited, just like a forest
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: fire will if you don't put it out. I know
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: you thought it was Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S.
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: Grant walked away from Appomatics Courthouse that they had stomped
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: out all the embers of the Civil War. We could
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: have predicted this back in eighteen seventy that this was
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: going to happen. They hadn't finished cleaning Abraham Lincoln's blood
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: off the box at Ford Theater, and I could have
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: predicted that this would come back as soon as the
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: first protest over a Civil War memorial took place. I
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: was telling you this is going to come, and here
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: we are. This is why they wanted to take down
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: all the Civil War monuments, because they were getting ready
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: to fire up the band again. We were told back
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: in twenty fifteen that holding Civil War reenactments was racist
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: and needed to be stamped out by communities from Appomattics
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: all the way up through First Manassas and all the
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: way out Gettysburg. No, we can't have those reenactments anymore,
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: because we're going to have the mother of all Civil
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: War reenactments coming soon, coming soon, and Ken Burns isn't
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: going to make the documentary about this one.
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: My name is Bobby.
• 52:52
  Speaker 7: I'm a veteran and lost my leg to a roadside bomb.
