• 0:46
  Speaker 8: just like all the others. Right, we need to we do,
• 0:51
  Speaker 8: and often we do because we care about what it
• 0:55
  Speaker 8: is that we're all about. I think that, given the
• 0:59
  Speaker 8: way our demographics flesh out, most of us go to
• 1:05
  Speaker 8: work for somebody we admire and or believe in and
• 1:11
  Speaker 8: or want to help achieve what it is they do.
• 1:17
  Speaker 8: That's why here we are on a Saturday morning, dusting

  Speaker 8: that situation. In the situation is in room discussing the

  Speaker 8: ramifications of deals proposed to at least extend the ceasefire
• 2:36
  Speaker 8: in Iran for sixty days. But the Strait of Horne
• 2:40
  Speaker 8: moves has to get open. And has anyone besides me
• 2:44
  Speaker 8: ask the question why, Yes, twenty percent of the world's
• 2:50
  Speaker 8: oil supply goes through the Strait of Horn Moves, or
• 2:53
  Speaker 8: is trying to. But why not just crank up the

  Speaker 8: auction in the other twenty percent just saying, I mean
• 3:06
  Speaker 8: the other eighty percent, Pardon me, just saying, Meanwhile, our

  Speaker 8: Democratic House pardon me, the House Oversight Committee, which Democratic
• 3:27
  Speaker 8: lawmakers decried the construction of, but now that they're on it.

  Speaker 8: the former age, saying that she was closed lipped and

  Speaker 8: demonstrated an unprecedented commitment to keeping information from them, though

• 4:08
  Speaker 8: and Obama appointee if that's of interest to you, said,
• 4:12
  Speaker 8: Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress
• 4:16
  Speaker 8: can change it. President Trump will make a peace deal
• 4:19
  Speaker 8: with Iran only if it meets all of his conditions,
• 4:22
  Speaker 8: he said after a four hour situation room meeting. President
• 4:26

  Speaker 9: the American story, but not every site is telling the

  Speaker 9: for citizens to celebrate America to fifty this summer. From
• 6:34
  Speaker 9: Mount Vernon to Independence Hall to Gettysburg and more. Americans

  Speaker 4: People are just happier with it.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: They love being part of something that reflects and promotes
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: their values and what they believe in.
• 7:22
  Speaker 8: Meta Share works too.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: It's been around for thirty years now and members have
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: shared more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills.

  Speaker 11: Forty Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the
• 8:06
  Speaker 11: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market.
• 8:12
  Speaker 11: I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
• 8:17
  Speaker 11: our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to
• 8:21
  Speaker 11: any nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing
• 8:26
  Speaker 11: or reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  Speaker 11: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  Speaker 11: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 11: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:45
  Speaker 11: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:50
  Speaker 11: healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

• 10:00
  Speaker 13: Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
• 10:03
  Speaker 13: with animals. I'm not only in awe of their beauty
• 10:05
  Speaker 13: and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look

  Speaker 13: at the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or

• 10:14
  Speaker 13: or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to

• 10:20
  Speaker 13: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
• 10:22
  Speaker 13: in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
• 10:25
  Speaker 13: by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
• 10:28
  Speaker 13: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 10:31
  Speaker 13: they also perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep
• 10:34
  Speaker 13: us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of
• 10:37
  Speaker 13: whom suffer from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them
• 10:40
  Speaker 13: when there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs
• 10:43
  Speaker 13: have a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to
• 10:45
  Speaker 13: society and help those in need. So please join me

• 13:32
  Speaker 8: A master's class was held yesterday in why they do it?
• 13:38
  Speaker 8: When you say, why do they expend so much time
• 13:41
  Speaker 8: and energy bashing and trashing and impugning people who might,
• 13:47
  Speaker 8: in some way, shape or form, be associated with In
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: order of importance, Donald J. Trump, the country, Donald J.
• 13:54
  Speaker 8: Trump is president of the political party Donald J. Trump
• 13:58
  Speaker 8: is member of or any one who voted for Donald J. Trump.
• 14:06
  Speaker 8: This is going to be a rough two hundred and
• 14:09
  Speaker 8: fiftieth anniversary of this country. So Brett Michaels, Martina McBride,
• 14:18
  Speaker 8: Young MC a bunch of people that, quite honestly, if
• 14:23
  Speaker 8: you were amongst the many, said, Martina McBride is still
• 14:28
  Speaker 8: going around singing, dag We're scheduled to be part of
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: the America's Fair. Is that what it was called America's
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: America's County Fair. That doesn't seem right to me. Oh,
• 14:46
  Speaker 8: the Great American State Fair, Thank You was what they've
• 14:50
  Speaker 8: been dubbing. All the events that are supposed to take
• 14:54
  Speaker 8: place over a two week period starting June twenty fifth
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: on the National Mall, all organized by the Freedom two fifty,
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: part organization that President Trump launched. It's different. You see,
• 15:10
  Speaker 8: there's also several organizations. There's America two fifty, there's Freedom
• 15:15
  Speaker 8: two fifty. Then you have your state organizations like Virginia
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: two fifty or Connecticut two fifty or you know, insert
• 15:24
  Speaker 8: washrints repeat, and they all have money from different sources,
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: and they're all holding different events ostensibly all to celebrate
• 15:35
  Speaker 8: are was it semi septis senative something septy semis septis whatever?
• 15:43
  Speaker 8: Are two hundred and fiftieth anniversary? I kid, it's semi
• 15:48
  Speaker 8: sescua tennial. So let me explain how this all works
• 15:55
  Speaker 8: and why this was a master's class, and why the
• 15:59
  Speaker 8: cancel culture still is operating even despite all all of
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: us lining up here each morning for your vaccination against it.
• 16:11
  Speaker 8: Joe Thomas in the morning, safe and effective the program
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: that they were supposed to be in the Commodores and
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: all these folks were any of the actual Commodorees still.
• 16:26
  Speaker 8: I mean, I mean, at some point, you know, it's
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: going to be a bunch of people who have been
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: in the band Poison. It's it's somebody who met Martina
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: McBride once singing Martina McBride's songs. I mean, this is
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: what we get. You know, Karen Carpenter ain't coming out
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: from backstage to sing Merry Christmas Baby. My daughter on
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: the other hand, can stick it, Oh she can. She
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: nails that one. By the way, Happy Birthday to will
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: Cook her choir teachers. As you know, too many of
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: the less have to grab this attitude. But everyone has
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: those teachers, whether it's Will Cook, my daughter's choir teacher,
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: mister Small, the the theater teacher that my son got involved.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: With, or.
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: The folks who ran the catering operation at the tech
• 17:23
  Speaker 8: center that my other son got involved in. It's you know,
• 17:33
  Speaker 8: everyone has those teachers, and it happens to be you know,
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: Will Cook's birthdays or choir teacher. And she doesn't sing
• 17:40
  Speaker 8: outside of the shower that much anymore. She's supposedly going
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: to do some Phantom of the opera thing at the
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: next con she goes to that she's not working at.
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: It's now a professional photographer. But you know, you learn
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: life things in these options and operations and confidence things
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: like that. But I digress. So Brett Michaels, I'm not
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: sure if it was all of Poison or just Brett Michaels,
• 18:06
  Speaker 8: or maybe Brett Michaels was going to come up and
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: renovate a tour bus, which apparently is his thing on
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: the Learning Channel these days. But their show was going
• 18:16
  Speaker 8: to be called I Love the Nineties, and it was
• 18:19
  Speaker 8: supposed to be June twenty sixth, and they're all backing out,
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: saying that claiming that the show didn't turn out to
• 18:26
  Speaker 8: be what they thought it was. Brett Michael's statement says
• 18:29
  Speaker 8: so much. On Instagram, he wrote, thought the show was
• 18:35
  Speaker 8: a chance to honor our veterans, active military, first responders, teachers,
• 18:40
  Speaker 8: and hardworking Americans from all walks of life. Brett, did
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: you leave anyone out of that list? By the way,
• 18:46
  Speaker 8: did your publicist write then? Could you have covered any
• 18:49
  Speaker 8: other factions? I want to honor our veterans. Well, don't
• 18:54
  Speaker 8: forget the active military. Okay, So veterans and active military. Oh, oh,
• 18:58
  Speaker 8: don't forget our first responders too. There they're you know, okay,
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: a veteran's active military first responders. Oh and teachers are
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: also you gotta honor to okay, anyone else?
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: All Americans? Yeah, let's my god, it's just it's silly, simple.
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: I honor the people who are listening. How about that.
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: If you're listening to this program, you have my gratitude
• 19:25
  Speaker 8: and I hold you in high esteem. Not so much
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: if you're not. But then again, if you're not listening,
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: then you don't know. But his Instagram post goes on
• 19:36
  Speaker 8: to say it evolved into something much more divisive and
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: referred to threats that are completely unfounded and unforgivable. So
• 19:47
  Speaker 8: here's what happened. The Snowflakes started threatening Martina McBride and
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: Young MC and Brett Michaels with lord knows what, but
• 19:58
  Speaker 8: they sound pretty bad. I'm sure everything from not buying
• 20:05
  Speaker 8: any more of their records probably the highest crime and misdemeanor,
• 20:10
  Speaker 8: to not going to any of their shows anymore, to
• 20:14
  Speaker 8: filing lawsuits against them. Who knows, but we watched a
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: protester in New Jersey threaten to kill an ice officer,
• 20:22
  Speaker 8: so why not say something akin to that of somebody
• 20:27
  Speaker 8: like Brett Michaels. So they threaten Brett michaels and Martina
• 20:34
  Speaker 8: mcbrideen Young MC and the Commodores. They back out of
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: a show because I mean, they're populous. They're trying to
• 20:41
  Speaker 8: sell tickets to the next time they're at the Beacon
• 20:44
  Speaker 8: Theater in your hometown, So they don't want to be
• 20:49
  Speaker 8: tagged with something that half their audience is not going
• 20:52
  Speaker 8: to show up for anymore. They have a responsibility to
• 20:56
  Speaker 8: all the people that they owe money to. I'm sure
• 21:01
  Speaker 8: they pull out. And then the Headline Writers, which is
• 21:05
  Speaker 8: the adjunct PR department for the Snowflake Brigade can run.
• 21:12
  Speaker 8: What was the last count? We had one hundred and
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: seven stories. So so far we've counted one hundred and
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: seven stories about how all these big stars like Martina
• 21:23
  Speaker 8: McBride are abandoning Trump amidst his freedom two fifty concert
• 21:30
  Speaker 8: collapse all words. We have that Bill Maher clip that
• 21:36
  Speaker 8: Bill Maher last week on his show, not yesterday, but
• 21:39
  Speaker 8: last week did a great treatise on how you know
• 21:42
  Speaker 8: you're listening to narrative instead of news. Words like collapse
• 21:48
  Speaker 8: in the headline, you have pretty good chance it's not news,
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: it's narrative. But that's how it works is we get
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: people to quit, and then the quitting becomes something we
• 21:58
  Speaker 8: can impune Donald Trump with.

  Speaker 17: aerobic activity in a week's time. But here's the thing
• 22:13
  Speaker 17: that one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to
• 22:15
  Speaker 17: be super intense. As a matter of fact, it could
• 22:17
  Speaker 17: just be you moving your body and doing what you
• 22:19
  Speaker 17: already love to do, like exercise, and a stronger heart

  Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I

• 24:31
  Speaker 11: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and

  Speaker 11: prevent cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer,

• 28:16
  Speaker 17: We're all afraid to speak the truth, and the more
• 28:18
  Speaker 17: afraid we get, the more we hate the ones who do.
• 28:20
  Speaker 8: You're ashamed to be American? Okay, that's cool, because honestly.
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: We are all ashamed of YouTube, y'are?
• 28:25
  Speaker 17: So?
• 28:29
  Speaker 8: I have a friend who claims his businesses crisis communications,
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: and the best part of his life is he does
• 28:39
  Speaker 8: a radio, TV thing on YouTube, social media, Facebook and
• 28:46
  Speaker 8: all that in which, you know, he'll report on a crisis.
• 28:50
  Speaker 8: He'll report something bad about a business and then go
• 28:53
  Speaker 8: to them and say, I'll help you unspin this. It's
• 28:57
  Speaker 8: a great it's a great world crisis communications first create
• 29:02
  Speaker 8: the crisis and then profit from the unspinning of the crisis.
• 29:10
  Speaker 8: I can help you figure this out. We'll get it,
• 29:12
  Speaker 8: we'll get it right. Well, you're the one who caused it. Yeah,
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: well who better to get it right for you than
• 29:18
  Speaker 8: the guy who caused it, you know. But that's what's
• 29:21
  Speaker 8: going on with this Freedom two fifty you know State
• 29:26
  Speaker 8: Fair is they made people quit so that they could
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: report that people quit to make Trump look bad. And again,
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: it's to make one percent of the midterm voters vote
• 29:43
  Speaker 8: for someone else. It's all it's about. They want one
• 29:48
  Speaker 8: percent each time one of these stories happens. If they
• 29:51
  Speaker 8: can get half a percent of Trump's supporters to either
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: stay home or vote for someone else in November, it's
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: a win. And it's worth every billion they spend on it.
• 30:04
  Speaker 8: Every billion they spend on it, because there's that much
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: money that traffics through the grubby little mitts of those
• 30:14
  Speaker 8: in our quote unquote representative offices, that there is a
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: profit motive, There is a return on investment for the
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: billions spent on flipping the majority in Congress. Remember, the
• 30:27
  Speaker 8: Speaker of the House has complete dictatorial control. You want
• 30:32
  Speaker 8: to talk about a dictatorship. US House of Representatives is
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: a dictatorship, complete authoritarian control over any bill. Bill could
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: pass through a House subcommittee unanimously, and if the Speaker
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: doesn't want to go to the floor, it don't go
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: to the floor. So imagine what will happen if that
• 30:59
  Speaker 8: speaker Hakeem Jeffries and whose money you could be made
• 31:04
  Speaker 8: and whose bank accounts could be engorged. That's a heck
• 31:08
  Speaker 8: of an endowment you've got there. I'm just saying, that's
• 31:11
  Speaker 8: why they do these things, because, yeah, it costs a
• 31:14
  Speaker 8: lot of money to buy this space and all these
• 31:17
  Speaker 8: the Rawstory dot Com and Huffington Puffington Post and all
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: of those places, they sell their column space and they
• 31:29
  Speaker 8: figure the return on investments is a majority in the
• 31:33
  Speaker 8: House and Senate. Come January of next year, doctor Clark
• 31:37
  Speaker 8: is hanging on the line with us. We haven't even
• 31:39
  Speaker 8: gotten into the Rand deal yet. We haven't gotten into
• 31:44
  Speaker 8: this poll out of Texas, Oh gotta love. The New
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: York Times runs into Texas hours hours after the primary
• 31:53
  Speaker 8: results are in and starts asking John Cornyan voters, are
• 31:57
  Speaker 8: you going to vote for someone else? And the third
• 32:01
  Speaker 8: of them said, yeah, how many people think Republicans are
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: actually going to vote for James tall Rico? Four three,
• 32:07
  Speaker 8: four eight eight two four to two one seven. Okay, Clark,
• 32:10
  Speaker 8: you didn't know that was the question of the day,
• 32:13
  Speaker 8: But how many Republicans do you think are either going
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: to stay home in Texas or actually vote for James
• 32:19
  Speaker 8: Taller Rico. The more we get to hear from this nutcluster.
• 32:23
  Speaker 20: Joe, Joe, There's been a big ad campaign that addresses
• 32:28
  Speaker 20: this right here. Okay, nobody wants their salsa or hot
• 32:33
  Speaker 20: salce made in New York City, especially people from Texas.
• 32:38
  Speaker 8: I remember that one that was yeah, wow, new City slicker,
• 32:44
  Speaker 8: that dear salsa came from New York City. There you go, Now,
• 32:50
  Speaker 8: did you see? Did you see? Tall Rico was at
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: some fair and he asked the booth, the vendor if
• 32:57
  Speaker 8: they had vegetarian tacos.
• 33:00
  Speaker 20: Well, yeah, James is gonna do real well, not so, Joe.
• 33:08
  Speaker 20: Who were the original outlaws in country music?
• 33:13
  Speaker 8: Do you know the four of them?
• 33:14
  Speaker 20: I'll tell you the four.
• 33:16
  Speaker 8: Tell me the four. I think I can name three
• 33:17
  Speaker 8: of them, but I don't want to sound dumb on
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: the air because I'm.
• 33:20
  Speaker 20: L Jennings, Willie Nelson, Jesse Coulter, and Tom Paul Glazier.
• 33:26
  Speaker 20: Now why were they outlaws? Were they robbing banks and
• 33:28
  Speaker 20: cutting records?
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: No? Why were they outlaws, Joe?
• 33:33
  Speaker 20: Because at the time the music industry country music was
• 33:38
  Speaker 20: completely controlled by three production studios and they dictated everything
• 33:43
  Speaker 20: about how you did your music and Waylon Jennings said no,
• 33:47
  Speaker 20: I'm gonna do my music my way, right And they said, no.
• 33:51
  Speaker 8: You're not.
• 33:53
  Speaker 20: And he said, well, I'll tell you what. I go
• 33:56
  Speaker 20: put my own studio together and I'll do my own distribution.
• 34:01
  Speaker 20: And that's how we got outlaw country. They were outlaws
• 34:04
  Speaker 20: because they went outside of the established studio network. Right now,
• 34:11
  Speaker 20: the country music industry, the music industry is still completely controlled.
• 34:19
  Speaker 20: And for us to think that any of these people
• 34:22
  Speaker 20: that are, well, I can't go because it's about Trump.
• 34:24
  Speaker 8: I'm not gonna go.
• 34:26
  Speaker 20: None of those people are capable of making their own decisions.
• 34:32
  Speaker 8: Now we pay these people to.
• 34:35
  Speaker 20: Entertain us, right, much like a dancing monkey for an
• 34:39
  Speaker 20: organ grinder que the ted nugent, but change it from
• 34:44
  Speaker 20: shut up and jam to shut up a dance monkeys.
• 34:47
  Speaker 8: Just shut up and dance.
• 34:49
  Speaker 20: We don't care what your opinion is. Heinlan wrote a
• 34:52
  Speaker 20: thing about that. You know, when you come to the
• 34:54
  Speaker 20: time when you're sports figures and you're entertainers think they
• 34:59
  Speaker 20: have political opinions of value, you're in trouble. We're there now.
• 35:04
  Speaker 8: Oh, Heinland. Heinland was like a time traveler. I mean
• 35:07
  Speaker 8: from the I think it was in nineteen twenty nine.
• 35:10
  Speaker 8: He wrote the Roads must Roll to Crying Transport, you know,
• 35:14
  Speaker 8: Trucker's unions and the teamsters and all of that and
• 35:18
  Speaker 8: oh so much. You know, he really was out ahead
• 35:21
  Speaker 8: of so many things that we see. It's people need
• 35:26
  Speaker 8: to go back and reread Heinland. Nobody will make him
• 35:29
  Speaker 8: after they made that god awful Starship Troopers movie, They
• 35:33
  Speaker 8: won't do anything really good like, oh it was, it
• 35:37
  Speaker 8: was a mess, you know what they should have done.
• 35:39
  Speaker 8: My best friend Pete and I have been in agreement
• 35:41
  Speaker 8: on this Forever Moon is a Harsh Mistress would have
• 35:45
  Speaker 8: been a hell of a movie. It's got action, it's thoughtful,
• 35:49
  Speaker 8: it's political. I mean, it's got everything that George Lucas
• 35:53
  Speaker 8: tried to put into nine movies you could put into
• 35:57
  Speaker 8: you know, one blockbuster, know, get ben Asfleck to do it,
• 36:01
  Speaker 8: and you know, and and just clean up.
• 36:05
  Speaker 20: Well, Starship Trivers could have been one of the best
• 36:10
  Speaker 20: movies absolutely ever made, you know, and the director deliberately
• 36:16
  Speaker 20: sabotaged it because he was a filthy communist. But yeah,
• 36:20
  Speaker 20: and you know, if you don't have the time to
• 36:23
  Speaker 20: read Hainland, just type in uh top five hundred Hanland
• 36:28
  Speaker 20: quotes and read through them and just be amazed.
• 36:32
  Speaker 8: So some of them, and see, you have to I've
• 36:35
  Speaker 8: looked at some of those lists and they're great. But
• 36:39
  Speaker 8: some of them because I know the books, I know,
• 36:41
  Speaker 8: you know which character was Lazarus Long saying this was
• 36:45
  Speaker 8: you know, so so you know, you have to take
• 36:48
  Speaker 8: it in context of who the character was, what was
• 36:51
  Speaker 8: happening at the scene. But you know, for the most part,
• 36:54
  Speaker 8: you know, they they they they do still resonate without
• 36:59
  Speaker 8: the text in a lot of ways. You're right, So.
• 37:04
  Speaker 20: Because I'm a little add just completely chumping to a
• 37:07
  Speaker 20: different thing. You know, I spent a lot of time
• 37:12
  Speaker 20: on a tractor or doing stuff out there on a
• 37:15
  Speaker 20: tree farm with headphones on, listening to talk radio like
• 37:20
  Speaker 20: you and I had them on the other evening and
• 37:25
  Speaker 20: during the news break they misreported on the Egen Carol investigation.
• 37:32
  Speaker 8: Okay, what did they say?
• 37:35
  Speaker 20: Well, you know, initially the story there was was they
• 37:38
  Speaker 20: were investigating eg and Carol for perjury what she did.
• 37:43
  Speaker 20: But matter of fact, Lawn Order season eleven, SUV Lawn
• 37:50
  Speaker 20: Order Season eleven, episode thirteen, that's in her entire story.
• 37:55
  Speaker 20: I believe the woman probably drank until she passed out
• 37:59
  Speaker 20: and then she had a lifetime.
• 38:01
  Speaker 11: In a study, it was found that thirty three percent
• 38:04

  Speaker 1: We've cut the cost of radio listening. By hell, it
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: didn't cost anything in the first place. So let's say
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: one million dollars. I'm calling first thing today by Joe
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: Thomas and then talk to me and Edward talking me.
• 44:30
  Speaker 8: What's going on? Yeah, that's what you do. You talk
• 44:33
  Speaker 8: to me. Gonna be some sleeve. Michael writes into the
• 44:48
  Speaker 8: text message line, Joe, I believe there are more original
• 44:52
  Speaker 8: members of the Commodore still performing than there are of Poison.
• 44:59
  Speaker 8: That may be. I don't no, I know it said this,
• 45:03
  Speaker 8: you know, nineties day at the National State Fair. I
• 45:11
  Speaker 8: think they should call it, by the way, just as
• 45:13
  Speaker 8: an aside, because sometimes I think weird thoughts. I think
• 45:16
  Speaker 8: they should call it the tenth the tenth Amendment State Fair,
• 45:20
  Speaker 8: the National tenth Amendment State Fair. But all right, maybe
• 45:26
  Speaker 8: in twenty eighty nine. So to your point, yes, two
• 45:37
  Speaker 8: original members of the Commodores are still performing. You are correct, Michael,
• 45:42
  Speaker 8: they are. And I actually looked it up just to
• 45:46
  Speaker 8: make sure I was aware. It's King and Orange I
• 45:51
  Speaker 8: think are the two founding members that are still performing.
• 45:54
  Speaker 8: Orange as kids are playing with them as well there.
• 45:58
  Speaker 8: But yeah, and it may just be Brett Michaels. I
• 46:02
  Speaker 8: thought C. C. DeMille was still performing with Poison, but
• 46:06
  Speaker 8: it might just be Bret Michaels at this point talking
• 46:11
  Speaker 8: about the snowflakes that have managed to concoct yet more
• 46:16
  Speaker 8: crisis management to make Donald Trump look bad, make things untenable,
• 46:24
  Speaker 8: uncomfortable for those who might wind up being in some way,
• 46:27
  Speaker 8: shape or form associated with something that at some place,
• 46:30
  Speaker 8: day or time may come in contact with Donald Trump.
• 46:34
  Speaker 8: And you're going to have to quit or we're going
• 46:36
  Speaker 8: to ruin you. Louise writes in I may be one
• 46:41
  Speaker 8: of those people who hears a phrase and just never
• 46:44
  Speaker 8: says anything. I never quite grasp what snowflake meant. And
• 46:49
  Speaker 8: I finally feel like I can ask somebody because you
• 46:52
  Speaker 8: seem like somebody who doesn't mind answering questions like this. Well,
• 46:56
  Speaker 8: you know, I'm born and raised in a world where
• 46:59
  Speaker 8: there is no such thing as a dumb question. And
• 47:02
  Speaker 8: that's not one because it is. It's become commonplace. It's
• 47:06
  Speaker 8: part of the lexicon. Now we just say, oh, you're
• 47:09
  Speaker 8: a snowflake. What does that mean? It means fragile and
• 47:13
  Speaker 8: melts easily. That's how somebody was determined to be a snowflake.
• 47:18
  Speaker 8: They're fragile. In large combinations can be devastating, but on
• 47:26
  Speaker 8: their own they're fragile and melt easily upon any sort
• 47:33
  Speaker 8: of heat whatsoever. So that's how these people became known
• 47:38
  Speaker 8: as snowflakes, because if you can get a room full
• 47:41
  Speaker 8: of them, they're big and bad by themselves. They cry,
• 47:45
  Speaker 8: they cry, they soil themselves. They can't deal with a debate.
• 47:50
  Speaker 8: They don't want a debate. They want a shouting match.
• 47:54
  Speaker 8: They want to shout you down rather than debate with you,
• 47:58
  Speaker 8: because individually they can't handle it. Hamp texted me yesterday
• 48:07
  Speaker 8: and by the way, text us at four three four
• 48:10
  Speaker 8: eight eight two four two one seven. The upside of
• 48:13
  Speaker 8: this is if a stray hair gets across you at
• 48:17
  Speaker 8: some odd hour of the day after the show is done,
• 48:20
  Speaker 8: or maybe you're listening to us this morning and you're thinking, wow,
• 48:24
  Speaker 8: I don't get this show all week. Well, you know
• 48:26
  Speaker 8: you can ask your radio station too, or you can
• 48:30
  Speaker 8: text message me any old time. I'll get the texts.
• 48:35
  Speaker 8: Hamp texted me yesterday upon seeing pictures of Marjorie Taylor
• 48:39
  Speaker 8: Green and Tommy Massey frolicking on the beaches of Costa Rica,
• 48:44
  Speaker 8: and tell me that that wouldn't have been a controversy
• 48:47
  Speaker 8: had they both been in office at the time. Is
• 48:50
  Speaker 8: she on her third marriage? I mean, this could be
• 48:53
  Speaker 8: something weird. But he said, do you think Marjorie Taylor
• 48:57
  Speaker 8: Green and Tommy Massey might try to start a third party?
• 49:00
  Speaker 8: My response to him was, you would need a real
• 49:03
  Speaker 8: heavy hitter. No offense to Tommy Massey. I like him
• 49:06
  Speaker 8: a lot in a lot of things he stood for.
• 49:08
  Speaker 8: He started to get caught up in the political imagery,
• 49:13
  Speaker 8: just like Marjorie Taylor Green. Marjorie Taylor Green four years
• 49:16
  Speaker 8: ago was the queen of finding the parliamentary procedure if
• 49:21
  Speaker 8: there was a woman who could do from a minority
• 49:25
  Speaker 8: position what Quem Jeffries does. Let me explain that better
• 49:32
  Speaker 8: for you. We have marveled on this show for some time.
• 49:36
  Speaker 8: How Hakeem Jeffries seems like he's running the US House
• 49:41
  Speaker 8: of Representatives, partially because the media gives him that kind
• 49:44
  Speaker 8: of gravitas, But he actually does seem to hold up
• 49:49
  Speaker 8: and get things passed on his agenda more frequently than
• 49:53
  Speaker 8: Mike Johnson does. And he's in the minority by a
• 49:59
  Speaker 8: few seats. Anyway, Marjorie Taylor Green said, you know, four
• 50:04
  Speaker 8: years ago, I think or more. She said, we should,
• 50:07
  Speaker 8: as conservatives, do the same thing, use all the parliamentary procedure,
• 50:12
  Speaker 8: call a quorum vote when we know there's a bunch
• 50:14
  Speaker 8: of Democrats not in Washington. Whatever it takes to get
• 50:18
  Speaker 8: a Republican majority on the floor to pass Republican things.
• 50:26
  Speaker 8: But neither of them are what I would call a
• 50:28
  Speaker 8: heavy hitter. Thinking of the last time a new political
• 50:31
  Speaker 8: party was started was started by this guy, Abe Lincoln,
• 50:34
  Speaker 8: and the Republicans started it to oppose slavery, and before
• 50:40
  Speaker 8: that it was Thomas Jefferson. They're on a mountain somewhere.
• 50:47
  Speaker 8: But I did point out to hamp that Trump, President
• 50:50
  Speaker 8: Trump technically started a new party. He just did it
• 50:54
  Speaker 8: from inside GOP headquarters. The Republican Party right now now,
• 51:00
  Speaker 8: and this is where the John Cornyns and the Thomas
• 51:03
  Speaker 8: Massey Sadly, because I really thought Thomas Massew would be
• 51:07
  Speaker 8: one of these Trump guys, you know, drain the swamp
• 51:15
  Speaker 8: up in the establishment, that kind of thing, and maybe
• 51:19
  Speaker 8: he wasn't. Maybe it was just an act to get
• 51:21
  Speaker 8: you know, populism. I don't know, But the Republican Party
• 51:30
  Speaker 8: now is a third party. It is not the Republican
• 51:33
  Speaker 8: Party of twenty fifteen, the Republican Party that had Donald
• 51:39
  Speaker 8: you know Wright's previous chairman of the Republican Party of
• 51:42
  Speaker 8: twenty fifteen. You know, when Donald Trump knocks on the
• 51:46
  Speaker 8: door and says, hey, yeah, I was just out of
• 51:48
  Speaker 8: Freedom Fest and he was the keynote speaker and it
• 51:52
  Speaker 8: was great and they had a huge crowd and they
• 51:55
  Speaker 8: loved me and decided that based on that the true story.
• 52:00
  Speaker 8: By the way, I was there twenty fifteenth. What the
• 52:02
  Speaker 8: hell is Donald Trump doing at Freedom Fest? We'll be
• 52:05
  Speaker 8: back there in a few weeks time, July eighth, so
• 52:09
  Speaker 8: stay tuned, you know, maybe we'll meet the next president.
• 52:15
  Speaker 8: So in twenty fifteen, there was an entirely different Republican Party.
• 52:19
  Speaker 8: When Donald Trump said I want to run as well,
• 52:25
  Speaker 8: and they're like, this is great, We'll get some attention.
• 52:27
  Speaker 8: This is a TV guy. They figured it was a
• 52:31
  Speaker 8: publicity stunt. Oops. Oops, sucks to be you. What's Right's
• 52:39
  Speaker 8: previous doing these days? Is he a commentator for ms now?
