FTTxJT 061926 "Mistake by the Lake 2026 Edition" · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:01
Speaker 1: Quick first thing today on the Talk Media Network by
0:05
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas, the second most famous Thomas and Charlotte's jewort.
0:10
Speaker 2: Said, steal me stem every day at least for work,
0:16
Speaker 2: when the sun comes up, drops a kid to school.
0:18
Speaker 2: Then Joey has everything agenda, all the treasures, No one
0:26
Speaker 2: that Joe's smiled, he all the eggs. Let me be
0:32
Speaker 2: your Joe.
0:33
Speaker 3: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
0:35
Speaker 3: this morning. Yeah, if nothing else. And obviously talking about
0:42
Speaker 3: how the Founders fell profoundly short in their founding, and
0:46
Speaker 3: I'll that reminds all of us that one of Barack Obama,
0:54
Speaker 3: one of his gifts as president was the ability to
1:00
Speaker 3: find the things that you believe, pull them into what
1:03
Speaker 3: he believes and make it out to be his own.
1:11
Speaker 3: And he could take a position like that the Founders
1:17
Speaker 3: had failed in some spots, and that's an unquestionable point
1:25
Speaker 3: if you're trying to disparage their entire work product. But
1:30
Speaker 3: in one frozen speech you're like, well, yeah, okay, they
1:34
Speaker 3: failed to be able to protect this one part of
1:38
Speaker 3: the Declaration of independence, completely changing the course of the nation.
1:43
Speaker 3: Do you scrap the whole project? And I think that
1:48
Speaker 3: there's a point to be made in both his statements
1:53
Speaker 3: yesterday the opening of his presidential tenement building. I'm sorry,
1:59
Speaker 3: it's just if you look at it from afar, you're like,
2:02
Speaker 3: is that a big like housing project on the side
2:04
Speaker 3: of the Perhaps appropriate because that was really his first
2:11
Speaker 3: job in Chicago was working for the person of the
2:14
Speaker 3: Chicago Sun Times referred to back in.
2:16
Speaker 4: The day as the worst slumlord.
2:18
Speaker 3: In Chicago history, and Barack Obama was his lawyer. But
2:23
Speaker 3: that being said, it's not just a frozen moment in
2:28
Speaker 3: a speech, it's what do you want to do with it?
2:30
Speaker 3: And his administration during its administration, spent quite a bit
2:35
Speaker 3: of time trying to buy the idea that it wasn't
2:40
Speaker 3: a perfect document have them thrown out entirely. And that's
2:45
Speaker 3: inappropriate as well. Just because they failed at dealing with slavery,
2:58
Speaker 3: it still gave it the opportun tunity to deal with slavery. Eventually.
3:03
Speaker 3: Let's get our first things in here and we can discuss.
3:06
Speaker 3: We've got folks, you know, on June teenth, and why
3:10
Speaker 3: isn't it a Republican holiday? Why are the Republicans hiding
3:14
Speaker 3: from June teenth when we were the ones who well
3:18
Speaker 3: conservatives especially were the ones that brought it about.
3:22
Speaker 4: We'll get into all of that.
3:24
Speaker 5: Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
3:27
Speaker 5: people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
3:30
Speaker 5: to look into. And that's meta share. Maybe you've heard
3:33
Speaker 5: joining metashare can save you or your family up to
3:36
Speaker 5: five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge, but it's
3:39
Speaker 5: also true. People are just happier with it. They love
3:41
Speaker 5: being part of something that reflects and promotes their values
3:44
Speaker 5: and what they believe in. Meda Share works too. It's
3:47
Speaker 5: been around for thirty years now and members have shared
3:50
Speaker 5: more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills. People
3:54
Speaker 5: love having telehealth and a huge nationwide ppo networks. So yeah,
3:58
Speaker 5: really you can save a ton and like it better.
4:00
Speaker 5: Imagine being happy with how you're taking care of your
4:03
Speaker 5: health care, whether you're self employed or part of the
4:05
Speaker 5: gig economy, or you just want to plan that you're
4:08
Speaker 5: happy with.
4:09
Speaker 6: Here you go.
4:09
Speaker 5: You can call right now and get a price within
4:11
Speaker 5: two minutes, a very very smart use of two minutes.
4:14
Speaker 5: Here's the number you need. It's eight five five share
4:17
Speaker 5: forty eight five five s h A r E forty
4:20
Speaker 5: eight five five share fortysc quit.
4:35
Speaker 1: On a need to know basis, because you need to
4:38
Speaker 1: know the first thing today.
4:40
Speaker 3: On this June teenth. Question for you, why do Republicans
4:44
Speaker 3: run from June teenth? Isn't this a holiday of our
4:46
Speaker 3: own making? Four three four eight eight two four two
4:51
Speaker 3: one seven. We'll get back to President Obama's statements and
4:55
Speaker 3: how it relates, at least at the home office of
4:58
Speaker 3: this program, to what we're watching happen in between the
5:02
Speaker 3: United States and Iran. But first I want to check
5:05
Speaker 3: in with James Luck, who's got a busy day ahead
5:07
Speaker 3: of them, heading in this Friday to jcsgold dot com.
5:14
Speaker 3: Tell us how gold and silver are greeting the day
5:17
Speaker 3: this morning, James, Good morning sir, how are you?
5:21
Speaker 7: I'm Jill Well Joe, and gold and silver are on
5:24
Speaker 7: a discount again this morning. Gold is down a little
5:27
Speaker 7: bit over one percent, down fifty three dollars to four
5:30
Speaker 7: and fifty five dollars. Silver is down about one percent
5:35
Speaker 7: to sixty five dollars. Even gold is bouncing off of
5:39
Speaker 7: some support here. Silver back to discounted prices again, not
5:44
Speaker 7: as low as we saw about two weeks ago, but
5:47
Speaker 7: a lot of people have already seen this morning, have
5:50
Speaker 7: taken advantage of the dip again here in gold and
5:53
Speaker 7: silver and continue to stack at these diskind of prices.
5:57
Speaker 3: And that's an important and I like the way you
5:59
Speaker 3: always put that, because it's just a greater opportunity for
6:02
Speaker 3: you to get these metals, these precious metals coinage or
6:07
Speaker 3: just in bar form and get more of it. So
6:11
Speaker 3: as the price continues to go up, you have more
6:13
Speaker 3: things that are gaining in value.
6:16
Speaker 7: Absolutely, because you know, the prospects and the whole outlook
6:19
Speaker 7: for gold and silver have not changed at all since
6:23
Speaker 7: the beginning of the year when they were at much
6:26
Speaker 7: higher prices. You know, there's still the same outlook. There's
6:29
Speaker 7: still the same demand for gold and silver industrially, especially
6:33
Speaker 7: for silver. None of that is going awigh or change
6:36
Speaker 7: anytime soon. So people really are seeing this as just
6:39
Speaker 7: an extreme discount that they want to take advantage of, and.
6:43
Speaker 3: You can do so. I know you have a no
6:45
Speaker 3: Spot deal on your website. Explain that to the folks
6:50
Speaker 3: before we let you loose to go deal with all
6:53
Speaker 3: the orders coming in today.
6:55
Speaker 7: Yeah, that means that you can buy silver items right
6:58
Speaker 7: at Spot. There's no markup premium, You're not paying anything overspot.
7:03
Speaker 7: You really are paying the market price for silver, which
7:06
Speaker 7: is really a great deal.
7:07
Speaker 3: And that's because this is a family business. There are
7:10
Speaker 3: no hidden fees because there are no hidden people involved.
7:14
Speaker 3: If you call four three four ninety seven nine coin
7:18
Speaker 3: that you might get James unless he's busy packing boxes
7:21
Speaker 3: to get out to the delivery services or his mom
7:24
Speaker 3: and pomp and their team there at the Jefferson Coin Shop.
7:28
Speaker 3: Is their full name jcsgold dot com. And again give
7:32
Speaker 3: them a test at after ten o'clock at four to
7:35
Speaker 3: three four nine seven nine coin. We have a great weekend, James,
7:38
Speaker 3: Happy Father's Day to you. Make sure you pass that
7:42
Speaker 3: greeting along to your pomp as well, and I hope
7:45
Speaker 3: you have a wonderful weekend.
7:47
Speaker 7: Absolutely, Joe, I appreciate that, I sure will, and happy
7:50
Speaker 7: Father's Day to you as well.
7:52
Speaker 8: In forming our union, the founders felt terribly short of
7:56
Speaker 8: the Declarations Promise, leaving slavery antick, allowing states to restrict
8:05
Speaker 8: the franchise so white men who.
8:07
Speaker 4: Owned property the.
8:18
Speaker 3: Se so as Barack Obama opens the Obama Presidential Museum
8:26
Speaker 3: and Housing Complex on the side of the Every time
8:30
Speaker 3: I look at it at different angles, you look at it.
8:32
Speaker 3: It either looks like a housing, you know, like a
8:35
Speaker 3: public housing tenement building, or a penal institution like Inner
8:45
Speaker 3: City penitentiary. There are several of them in Chicago, in
8:48
Speaker 3: the Loop where you've got these downtown high rise prisons, jails,
8:54
Speaker 3: that kind of thing.
8:56
Speaker 4: You know, they sent Joliet Jake out to Joliet.
9:00
Speaker 3: It's understandable, but you know, this was It's a reminder
9:03
Speaker 3: of how or whoever wrote back Obama's speeches and put
9:07
Speaker 3: him up on Barack Obama's teleprompter. Remember the good old
9:11
Speaker 3: days when conservatives realized, well, if we can't pick on
9:16
Speaker 3: Barack Obama because we don't want to be called rageous,
9:20
Speaker 3: we could pick on his teleprompter. Because it was somewhere
9:25
Speaker 3: about halfway through the first campaign it became obvious that
9:29
Speaker 3: if Barry left the teleprompter, he was the smooth talking,
9:37
Speaker 3: silver tongued storybook character that Joe Biden likened him to be.
9:42
Speaker 3: He needed to stay on his teleprompter. The teleprompter was
9:46
Speaker 3: leading the nation. Even Gary Trudeau in Doonsbury, I believe
9:51
Speaker 3: created a teleprompter avatar for President Obama. It may have
9:57
Speaker 3: been a different satirist, but you know, it's nice to
10:01
Speaker 3: remember that there were people who satirized Barack Obama at
10:05
Speaker 3: the great peril of being called a racist there. But
10:11
Speaker 3: he isn't wrong the bit about the landowners. That was
10:17
Speaker 3: commonplace because these were the people who actually were going
10:24
Speaker 3: to have to live under the laws of the land.
10:28
Speaker 3: People forget that if you were just renting a flat somewhere,
10:32
Speaker 3: you were like this magic creature. You weren't held responsible
10:39
Speaker 3: for the actions in the community. You're just you're truly transient.
10:45
Speaker 3: Back before that word was only given negative connotations. So
10:50
Speaker 3: that last bits, you know, that's a that's a nod
10:53
Speaker 3: to his Marxist keepers like Valerie Jarret's.
10:57
Speaker 8: Allowing states to restrict the franchise white men who owned property.
11:02
Speaker 3: And that's a lie too, because black men who owned
11:05
Speaker 3: property also had the right to vote. That was one
11:07
Speaker 3: of the big hang ups in the three fifths compromises.
11:11
Speaker 3: There were black men who owned property who had full
11:16
Speaker 3: votes because they and nobody thought to bring that to
11:20
Speaker 3: a court. We really didn't have a Supreme Court as
11:23
Speaker 3: it's founded. But let's go back to the infamous.
11:28
Speaker 4: Bed forming our union.
11:30
Speaker 8: The founders fell terribly short of the declarations promise.
11:35
Speaker 3: Ye Barry not to debate you, but the declaration itself
11:40
Speaker 3: fell short because it had this wonderful rebuke of slavery.
11:45
Speaker 3: The Constitution just did the most masterful job of taking
11:49
Speaker 3: that philosophical legal filing and turning it into a governing document.
11:58
Speaker 3: But it continues to two thousand and four, after he
12:02
Speaker 3: gave his barn burning speech at the DNC convention, he
12:08
Speaker 3: said the same thing local radio. But the failings of
12:15
Speaker 3: the Declaration, the fact that it couldn't leave that eloquent
12:19
Speaker 3: rebuke of slavery in it. These are all part and
12:23
Speaker 3: parcel of what we're watching take place in between Washington
12:28
Speaker 3: and Tehran. Would Israel prefer if Iran or radical Islam
12:37
Speaker 3: just vanished from the planet. I'm sure if you ask
12:41
Speaker 3: many Israelis they would say yes. I warned them that
12:45
Speaker 3: when that happens, you're just going to turn on yourselves,
12:48
Speaker 3: just the way many of the factions in the Islamic
12:51
Speaker 3: world turn on one another. So this idea that you
12:58
Speaker 3: can negotiate away or even militarize away unless you're a
13:01
Speaker 3: gengis con and you just kill everybody. The art of
13:07
Speaker 3: the deals sometimes is the other guy's gotta get some
13:10
Speaker 3: things too before they sign on the dotted line, and
13:13
Speaker 3: it's about managing what those things are that's key.
13:18
Speaker 9: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National League trainer for Planet
13:21
Speaker 9: Fitness and the American Heart Association recommends that we all
13:24
Speaker 9: get at least one hundred and fifty minutes of moderate
13:27
Speaker 9: aerobic activity in a week's time. But here's the thing
13:30
Speaker 9: that one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to
13:32
Speaker 9: be super intense. As a matter of fact, it could
13:34
Speaker 9: just be you moving your body and doing what you
13:37
Speaker 9: already love to do, like exercise. And a stronger heart
13:40
Speaker 9: doesn't just mean cardio, right, it means also infusing your
13:43
Speaker 9: workout routines with strength training as well. So we are
13:47
Speaker 9: super excited to be launching our new plateloaded Strength series
13:51
Speaker 9: and all of our gems. It's already fitted in seventeen
13:54
Speaker 9: hundred locations, with the goal to have all twenty seven
13:57
Speaker 9: hundred fitted by the end of twenty twenty five. You
14:00
Speaker 9: need more information, go to our website at Planet fitness

14:20
Speaker 1: The first thing today on the Tunk Media Network by
14:27
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas, how We Roll.
14:33
Speaker 5: He got a deadline I got, He says, it's all.
14:36
Speaker 10: Over time I got.
14:38
Speaker 1: She said to something then board, then he needs riding.
14:40
Speaker 4: Now that's on specified.
14:42
Speaker 2: I got the firk.
14:43
Speaker 5: He says, he knows the bud in a long week bud,
14:45
Speaker 5: he's gotta be inn pc me.
14:48
Speaker 1: So it needs me.
14:49
Speaker 4: So I got red Sue next week. So that is
14:53
Speaker 4: eds uh.
14:54
Speaker 3: And that's you know, the idea that you can organize
14:59
Speaker 3: anything better than in a capitalist system. This was going
15:02
Speaker 3: back to Barack Obama's statement, but also looking at how
15:08
Speaker 3: we have devolved from what was founded was the idea
15:15
Speaker 3: that we could live freely. And we had been living freely,
15:18
Speaker 3: and we had become prosperous, and all of a sudden
15:20
Speaker 3: the king noticed and said, oh crap, we need to
15:27
Speaker 3: get more of that. It was very much like the
15:29
Speaker 3: California five percent tax on billionaires. Such an egregious idea
15:38
Speaker 3: that even Gavin Newsom's presidential aspirations won't allow.
15:41
Speaker 4: It to happen.
15:43
Speaker 3: All right, Well, maybe Gavin Newsom's not gonna let them happen.
15:46
Speaker 3: But it's really his presidential aspirations that won't allow him
15:50
Speaker 3: to do this. But the brilliance of what happened, and
15:59
Speaker 3: there's this there's a historical rap that gets into this,
16:04
Speaker 3: just briefly. When the French and Indian Wars started, more
16:10
Speaker 3: British came over to the United States, and British officers
16:15
Speaker 3: and the British elites were paying and they came in
16:20
Speaker 3: They're like, look at all this stuff going on.
16:22
Speaker 4: Did you know? Did you know they were doing all
16:24
Speaker 4: this were here?
16:26
Speaker 3: And that's when the king started to take an interest
16:29
Speaker 3: in what had been.
16:30
Speaker 4: Going on under his nose.
16:33
Speaker 3: For fifteen years or so. And it didn't take long
16:38
Speaker 3: for a free market economy to start to develop in
16:42
Speaker 3: the United States because Britain wasn't paying a whole lot
16:45
Speaker 3: of attention. The attention was the Caribbean and the subcontinent,
16:50
Speaker 3: and there was much bigger fish to fry than colonies.
16:57
Speaker 3: And we learned that as long as the snuff and
17:00
Speaker 3: the tobacco and the cotton the linens made it over there,
17:08
Speaker 3: it leave us alone. We developed our own way of
17:11
Speaker 3: doing things. Then they came in because the French had
17:16
Speaker 3: hired a bunch of mercenaries to come and attack us
17:25
Speaker 3: rather than getting their hands dirty. And so the British
17:29
Speaker 3: came to do battle with their old adversary, the French,
17:32
Speaker 3: and the French and Indian War. And then that's when
17:35
Speaker 3: they noticed, hey, you guys are doing a lot of
17:37
Speaker 3: stuff differently here than we would have allowed you to.
17:42
Speaker 3: And that's when the clamp down started and everything else.
17:46
Speaker 3: But in the foundation of our nation, it was a
17:48
Speaker 3: foundation of a free market economy, and the failings of
17:53
Speaker 3: that were that people were not able to get past
17:59
Speaker 3: some of the obvious hypocrisies in that.
18:04
Speaker 4: Because of crony.
18:05
Speaker 3: Capitalism, because people, rather than representing just the people that
18:11
Speaker 3: they were going to represent, still though an unusual concept,
18:17
Speaker 3: they were making this up as they go along. Jefferson
18:23
Speaker 3: writes the Ultimate Treaties on why slavery is bad, but
18:29
Speaker 3: he can't get it passed because the South Carolina Delegation
18:33
Speaker 3: is cannot tell the important people, the landowners. And that's
18:38
Speaker 3: where the second part of this comes in, is how
18:41
Speaker 3: they viewed who citizens were.
18:45
Speaker 8: Allowing states to restrict the franchise to white men who
18:48
Speaker 8: owned property.
18:52
Speaker 3: That was a commonplace thing. You weren't a citizen until
18:55
Speaker 3: you owned land. And that was another subtle complex that
19:05
Speaker 3: was a commonplace European view. Ben Franklin didn't share it.
19:11
Speaker 3: Jefferson didn't even really share it per se. He knew
19:15
Speaker 3: that urban areas you were less likely to be a
19:18
Speaker 3: property owner, so he felt like you were going to
19:23
Speaker 3: leave the cities at the command of the rural areas. Funny,
19:30
Speaker 3: we've now gone full circle in two hundred and fifty years,
19:34
Speaker 3: where now the rural communities are at the under the
19:38
Speaker 3: heel of the urban areas.
19:44
Speaker 4: But it all.
19:45
Speaker 3: Falls apart when you insist on a governing process that
19:53
Speaker 3: governs that will stop you from doing something to benefit yourself.
20:01
Speaker 3: We're supposed to be God fearing people. The reason Jefferson
20:05
Speaker 3: used the word there rather than the Creator, was to
20:11
Speaker 3: make it on you to have a creator in mind
20:14
Speaker 3: and to learn from them that you are but one person,
20:21
Speaker 3: that you are part of a community, and all those
20:24
Speaker 3: wonderful flowing things that Barack Obama said in the opening
20:27
Speaker 3: of his presidential housing complex. But the key was that
20:36
Speaker 3: you were to be individual to yourself, that you could
20:39
Speaker 3: find your own way as long as it didn't infringe
20:43
Speaker 3: on somebody else. You couldn't steal from other people for
20:47
Speaker 3: a manner of living, but you could convince them to
20:51
Speaker 3: pay you for things and that would be okay. And
20:57
Speaker 3: it was all there. They just didn't have complete ability
21:00
Speaker 3: to convince people who had never heard of such a
21:03
Speaker 3: governing process before, and we wrote rules in to protect it,
21:08
Speaker 3: but they were quickly ignored. And you know, so would
21:14
Speaker 3: you hear? You know when you look at this compromise
21:20
Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty, two hundred and thirty years ago,
21:26
Speaker 3: and you say, well, why did they come to it?
21:29
Speaker 3: Because they knew that the grander scale of getting a
21:32
Speaker 3: country that was going to allow the citizens to have
21:35
Speaker 3: a say, and they did a bad job of it
21:37
Speaker 3: with the Articles of Confederation, did a better job of
21:40
Speaker 3: it once they added the Bill of Rights. Would have
21:44
Speaker 3: preferred the Bill of Rights to have been Article one,
21:47
Speaker 3: the way it is in Virginia's Constitution. Article one is
21:51
Speaker 3: right up front. It's the Bill of rights. These are
21:55
Speaker 3: your rights. They are endowed to you by God, and
22:00
Speaker 3: the government swears to protect them. But when you look
22:05
Speaker 3: at what's happening in the commentariat over the Iran deal,
22:11
Speaker 3: you're finding the same problems that they founded two hundred
22:15
Speaker 3: and fifty years ago self interest. How do you manage
22:20
Speaker 3: self interest? You give people less dominion over anyone else.
22:26
Speaker 3: Self interest only works when you're able to coerce through
22:31
Speaker 3: the halls of government, through the power of government, people
22:35
Speaker 3: to do things that you would have to otherwise prod,
22:42
Speaker 3: pry or project yourself into getting them to do. And
22:54
Speaker 3: this is why societies are always going to suffer if
22:59
Speaker 3: we don't recognize things like our innate weaknesses, like sloth.
23:04
Speaker 3: Sloth is the reason we turned to the government to
23:07
Speaker 3: make people buy stuff from us. Andy was telling me
23:10
Speaker 3: the story of you know, when he called in. He
23:13
Speaker 3: was talking about working for this government contract that was
23:18
Speaker 3: applied to a contractor.
23:22
Speaker 4: Based on quotas.
23:24
Speaker 3: The job wasn't getting done and they were throwing more
23:27
Speaker 3: money at it until there was a government shut down.
23:36
Speaker 3: Because you don't if you take away the provider consumer
23:43
Speaker 3: part of the equation, we fall prey to our seven vices.
23:49
Speaker 3: You know, I don't fall prey to all those loud vices.
23:52
Speaker 3: In my head, Sloth is one of the most compelling
23:56
Speaker 3: one in my head. I don't know what your vices
23:59
Speaker 3: are is because I know I'm the only one who's
24:04
Speaker 3: going to provide income for the family through my efforts
24:09
Speaker 3: at getting folks who need our radio show to market them.
24:14
Speaker 11: In a study, it was found that thirty three percent
24:17
Speaker 11: of forty four herbal supplements had no trace of the
24:21
Speaker 11: advertised herb. Don't let that happen to you, Hi, this

24:51
Speaker 10: The sound.
24:54
Speaker 1: From the home of the First Amendment. First thing today.
25:00
Speaker 3: Giant cinder block on the side of Lake Michigan, now
25:03
Speaker 3: the Obama Library.
25:20
Speaker 6: Could I say a.
25:23
Speaker 2: Spa.
25:26
Speaker 3: So Andy was on the phone talking about working with contractors.
25:30
Speaker 3: We had to run to a break but he he
25:32
Speaker 3: loves the fact that these contractors were all left holding
25:35
Speaker 3: the bag for this concrete edifice that, to be fair,
25:39
Speaker 3: from my esthetic, looks like a penal facility. Drive past
25:47
Speaker 3: a prison. Actually, I believe that prisons have more windows
25:52
Speaker 3: space on it than this Obama And I'm sure the
25:57
Speaker 3: facility inside is air conditioning thing else it just giant.
26:01
Speaker 3: It looks like a housing project to me, which I
26:06
Speaker 3: think is fair if you go back. The Washington Examiner
26:11
Speaker 3: back in two thousand and eight uncovered a story from
26:16
Speaker 3: the Chicago Sun Times that reported that there was an
26:22
Speaker 3: octogenarian black woman had been kicked out of her rent
26:29
Speaker 3: controlled government subsidized Section eight housing in the middle of December,
26:37
Speaker 3: and prior to that, had had her water and electricity
26:40
Speaker 3: shut off by a fellow who was referred to by
26:45
Speaker 3: the Chicago Sun Times as the quote unquote, the worst
26:50
Speaker 3: slumlord in Chicago history, and the story quotes his attorney
26:58
Speaker 3: several times. His attorney was Barack Obama. So I think
27:03
Speaker 3: it's just running home to Mama when you when you
27:07
Speaker 3: see his Presidential museum and it looks like a housing
27:11
Speaker 3: project on the side of the river. So he goes
27:15
Speaker 3: on to say in his dress and yes, and very
27:19
Speaker 3: fun part of this is, you know the man who
27:22
Speaker 3: said you didn't build that can now say, well, I
27:26
Speaker 3: didn't pay for that, because he hasn't.
27:28
Speaker 8: Because as a sign I kept on the resolute desk
27:32
Speaker 8: red hard things are hard.
27:34
Speaker 3: Well, that's a that's a deep thought right there. Jack
27:39
Speaker 3: Handy Saturday Alive said, will you steal that from me?
27:43
Speaker 8: And that's especially true in a big, raucous, diverse, argumentative
27:52
Speaker 8: democracy like the United States of America.
27:57
Speaker 4: Everybody's got an opinion.
27:59
Speaker 3: And none of them should have dominion on anyone else, Parry.
28:02
Speaker 3: And that's the problem.
28:06
Speaker 8: And that means getting stuff done involves reconciling the demands
28:10
Speaker 8: of a couple one hundred million people.
28:13
Speaker 3: Or you don't try to micro manage a couple one
28:17
Speaker 3: hundred million people's lives for them.
28:20
Speaker 5: Parry, All right, you've been listening.
28:31
Speaker 3: The idea that you can micro manage somebody's life is
28:42
Speaker 3: what the founding fathers, especially those who crafted the Constitution,
28:47
Speaker 3: which we are not approaching the two hundred and fiftieth
28:50
Speaker 3: anniversary of.
28:55
Speaker 4: So when he.
28:56
Speaker 3: Says that America's founders fell terribly short of the Declaration
29:02
Speaker 3: of independence promise, the beginnings were the parsing out of
29:11
Speaker 3: the rebuke of slavery. And it was the original indication
29:22
Speaker 3: that America's biggest problem, the bigger, bigger issue than fascism
29:29
Speaker 3: or Islamo terrorism or race, it was going to be
29:35
Speaker 3: crony capitalism. And if you don't, it's in the Library
29:44
Speaker 3: of Congress, you pull it up. It's not on some
29:46
Speaker 3: conspiracy theory website. This was the one controversial part of
29:53
Speaker 3: abuses and usurpations that nearly scuttled the entire thing. He
30:02
Speaker 3: speaking again, these are the abuses and usurpations that we're listing.
30:07
Speaker 3: He has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating
30:12
Speaker 3: its most sacred rights of life and liberty in the
30:15
Speaker 3: persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating
30:19
Speaker 3: and carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to
30:23
Speaker 3: incur miserable death in their transportation. Thither, this hiratical warfare,
30:29
Speaker 3: the opprobrium of infidel powers, is the warfare of the
30:33
Speaker 3: Christian king of Great Britain. Determined to keep open a
30:37
Speaker 3: market where men should be bought and sold. He has
30:42
Speaker 3: prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit
30:50
Speaker 3: the or restrain the execrable commerce, and that this assemblage
30:55
Speaker 3: of horrors might want no fact of distinguished.
31:00
Speaker 4: He is now.
31:01
Speaker 3: Exciting those very people to rise in arms among us
31:06
Speaker 3: and to purchase that liberty of which he has deprived them,
31:11
Speaker 3: and murdering the people upon whom he also obtruded them,
31:15
Speaker 3: thus paying off former crimes committed against the liberties of
31:20
Speaker 3: the one people with crimes, he urges them to commit
31:24
Speaker 3: against the lives of another. And I remember the first
31:29
Speaker 3: time I read that on the airs, years and years
31:31
Speaker 3: and years ago. I had a phone call saying, I've
31:34
Speaker 3: heard another hosts talk about that. That's a conspiracy theory, Joe,
31:37
Speaker 3: that's another one of your right.
31:39
Speaker 4: Wing And I said, you don't. And I said to him,
31:43
Speaker 4: I said, this is going to sound.
31:44
Speaker 3: Silly to you, but do you recall the Broadway play
31:55
Speaker 3: turned musical film seventeen seventy six And he said, well,
32:05
Speaker 3: I remember seeing it as a kid. I said, do
32:07
Speaker 3: you remember the song Molasses to rum.
32:12
Speaker 4: Toward our slaves?
32:14
Speaker 10: They don't keep slaves, Oh, no, but they're willing to
32:20
Speaker 10: be considerable carriers of slaves to others.
32:25
Speaker 4: They're willing for the shilling.
32:30
Speaker 1: Or haven't you heard miss Adams, clean, clean.
32:38
Speaker 10: Molasses to run to slave?
32:43
Speaker 4: Oh?
32:44
Speaker 3: One of beautiful wars you.
32:49
Speaker 10: Dance with off, we dance with you in molasses and rum.
32:57
Speaker 2: And Sir.
33:01
Speaker 3: John Collum, the amazing portrayer of the South Carolina delegation
33:08
Speaker 3: and their opposition to that one paragraph. I said to
33:13
Speaker 3: the guy, I said, how is this some right ways?
33:15
Speaker 3: It was written into a Broadway play and the guy.
33:18
Speaker 3: I had no idea because we always forget. We forget
33:22
Speaker 3: these little points of culture, and we make reference to
33:27
Speaker 3: them sometimes because people who say, oh, that's just a
33:30
Speaker 3: right wing conspiracy.
33:32
Speaker 4: My name is Bobby.
33:33
Speaker 5: I'm a veteran and lost my leg to a roadside bomb.
33:36
Speaker 5: My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a
33:39
Speaker 5: weightlifting champion.
33:40
Speaker 1: I'm Sam. I'm a veteran.
33:42
Speaker 8: My victory was finding a career I can be proud
33:45
Speaker 8: of and supporting my family.

33:50
Speaker 6: of their lives.
33:51
Speaker 1: I'm a veteran.
33:52

33:55
Speaker 6: At DAV, we're on a mission to help veterans get
33:58

34:04
Speaker 6: DAV offers veterans of all generations a lifetime of support
34:08
Speaker 6: for victories great and small.
34:10

34:16
Speaker 6: We help more than a million veterans every year as
34:19
