- 0:07Speaker 1: What about work.
- 0:10Speaker 2: On your to do list? Putting the radio on is
- 0:13Speaker 2: the first thing today?
- 0:14Speaker 3: Your words that steal me step every day, at least
- 0:19Speaker 3: for work when the sun comes up, drops a pet
- 0:22Speaker 3: into school on the way.
- 0:24Speaker 4: Joe has everything, A dreamer all the Joss needs no
- 0:30Speaker 4: one that Joe's has smiled.
- 0:32Speaker 5: He on the eggs.
- 0:37Speaker 6: Joe.
- 0:37Speaker 7: We should all have a little more Tom Holman in us.
- 0:44Speaker 7: Happy Friday. Bless you for letting me be of service
- 0:48Speaker 7: to you as we head into Mother's Day weekend. Like
- 0:52Speaker 7: it or not, you've all got one. That much is clear.
- 0:57Speaker 7: You may have a dad that is absent, but mom
- 1:01Speaker 7: is mom, and you may have moms that have had issues.
- 1:04Speaker 7: But you are who you are and where you are.
- 1:09Speaker 7: Good bad are indifferent for that. So we bless the
- 1:13Speaker 7: moms who brought us into the world, and we bless
- 1:16Speaker 7: them mostly with how we conduct ourselves. This is why
- 1:20Speaker 7: I say we all should have a little bit more
- 1:22Speaker 7: Tom Homan in us. Tom knows what his job is
- 1:27Speaker 7: and it just goes about doing it and people say
- 1:30Speaker 7: I don't like you doing your job, and he says, okay,
- 1:33Speaker 7: but I am doing my job, so get out of
- 1:37Speaker 7: my way. And the best part about Tom Homan is
- 1:45Speaker 7: he has proven to the left that he's not going
- 1:51Speaker 7: to back down or capitulate or half step put softer
- 1:57Speaker 7: gloves on. He says, my job is to take people
- 2:00Speaker 7: who are not supposed to be here, who are not
- 2:03Speaker 7: citizens of this country, and send them back home. And
- 2:08Speaker 7: he goes about doing that business. And whatever your business is,
- 2:14Speaker 7: there are always going to be people who say you're
- 2:17Speaker 7: not supposed to do that, whether it's in your own company,
- 2:22Speaker 7: in your own family, in your own community. Why do
- 2:29Speaker 7: you say the things you say on your radio show, Joe,
- 2:33Speaker 7: community standards, whatever it is, I disagree with you. That's fine.
- 2:41Speaker 7: Disagreeing is part of humanity. My opinion has no dominion
- 2:47Speaker 7: on you. No, it's not time yet. It's premature jubilation.
- 2:52Speaker 7: That's not a way to start a Friday morning. But
- 2:55Speaker 7: we should all have a little bit more Tom home
- 2:57Speaker 7: in US, is all I'm saying as we conduct the
- 2:59Speaker 7: day affairs. Now, thank you what it's time for our
- 3:02Speaker 7: first things. President Trump said Thursday a retaliatory strike by

- 8:03Speaker 5: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 5: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 5: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 5: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 5: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 5: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31Speaker 5: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:36Speaker 5: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42Speaker 5: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46Speaker 5: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51Speaker 5: healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

- 9:59Speaker 4: I'm Jack Hannah, and it's always a boy. Growing up
- 10:01Speaker 4: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 4: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 4: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:08Speaker 4: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 4: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 10:15Speaker 4: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 10:17Speaker 4: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21Speaker 4: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 10:23Speaker 4: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 10:25Speaker 4: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 10:29Speaker 4: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 10:32Speaker 4: perform life saving work every day.
- 10:34Speaker 2: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
- 10:36Speaker 4: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
- 10:39Speaker 4: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change.
- 10:41Speaker 2: In their blood chemistry.
- 10:43Speaker 4: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
- 10:45Speaker 4: contribute to society and help those in need. So please
- 10:48Speaker 4: join me an American Humane and supporting our heroic working
- 10:51Speaker 4: dogs and all the amazing animals on this planet.

- 11:06Speaker 6: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
- 11:10Speaker 6: art and brain.
- 11:12Speaker 2: Who's with me?

- 13:13Speaker 2: From Joe Thomas, it's first thing to do.
- 13:16Speaker 18: He says he's got a deadline.
- 13:19Speaker 2: He says it's no overtime.
- 13:22Speaker 19: He said it's something important.
- 13:23Speaker 6: That he needs right now.
- 13:24Speaker 7: That's on specify.
- 13:26Speaker 2: I got to He says he.
- 13:27Speaker 6: Knows a bud in a long week, but he's gotta
- 13:30Speaker 6: be in pc BE so he needs me.
- 13:33Speaker 7: So Red's new next week. So that's right, that's what
- 13:38Speaker 7: you do. You strap it on, you hoist your jib
- 13:42Speaker 7: and turn towards the work, uh that we do. And
- 13:47Speaker 7: this is why it's important to grasp a tedsty because
- 13:50Speaker 7: we all need to do things to survive, right, I mean,
- 13:56Speaker 7: this is just an abstract. We got plenty to get into.
- 13:58Speaker 7: I want to spend a little time. I'm on Alexandra
- 14:01Speaker 7: Occasional Cortex living up to her nickname on this was
- 14:11Speaker 7: it Ilana Glazier podcast saying billionaires are a myth. You
- 14:17Speaker 7: can't earn a billion dollars. I guess you know, unless
- 14:21Speaker 7: you're in a Member of Congress AOC. Nancy Pelosi's on
- 14:25Speaker 7: the phone, you're still talking to her. Maybe maybe there
- 14:32Speaker 7: is a cap, Maybe you can only make so many
- 14:35Speaker 7: millions being in Congress, and so that's all she knows. So,
- 14:45Speaker 7: I mean, there are there are plenty of billionaires who
- 14:47Speaker 7: would like to have a sit down with her. Many
- 14:49Speaker 7: of them contribute to her campaigns. I'm not sure why,
- 14:53Speaker 7: especially the way she jobbed Jeff Bezos and all the
- 15:00Speaker 7: people in Northern Queens and the South Bronx that she
- 15:03Speaker 7: claims to represent despite being from Westchester, County, but the
- 15:07Speaker 7: district is the district. New York hasn't redrawn their district,
- 15:11Speaker 7: so she gets to live in suburban Westchester County where
- 15:16Speaker 7: she grew up and still represent the South Bronx, which
- 15:19Speaker 7: is still the South Bronx since I was a kid,
- 15:26Speaker 7: and Northern Queens full of empty factories that used to
- 15:30Speaker 7: make stuff, and Amazon wanted to move in there, and
- 15:34Speaker 7: she's like, oh no, we don't want those kind of jobs,
- 15:37Speaker 7: and you know, and she gets do I supporters are like, yeah,
- 15:41Speaker 7: she's standing up for us, and they go home and
- 15:45Speaker 7: they film a four minute long podcast, call themselves an
- 15:50Speaker 7: influencer and go on to it and bless you if
- 15:53Speaker 7: you can pay the rent doing that. The problem becomes
- 15:56Speaker 7: when you turn to everyone else and say, I can't
- 15:58Speaker 7: pay my rent doing this, but it's what I do,
- 16:02Speaker 7: and we accept this. It's what I do axiomatically, Well okay,
- 16:10Speaker 7: well then you need to figure out how to do
- 16:11Speaker 7: something else or add to what you do so it
- 16:16Speaker 7: can earn you more money to pay your bills. And
- 16:20Speaker 7: your bills are going out, mostly because people like Alexander
- 16:23Speaker 7: Occasional Cortex keep regulating businesses and telling them they can't
- 16:27Speaker 7: be in your community. So good luck on that. And
- 16:32Speaker 7: yet bless the American citizen that generates trillions upon trillions
- 16:39Speaker 7: of dollars just in tax collections. I mean, you think
- 16:44Speaker 7: about it. Multiply that the federal government's tax collections and
- 16:48Speaker 7: the multiple trillions of dollars by three times. You realize
- 16:53Speaker 7: how much we do, how much we generate. But there are,
- 17:08Speaker 7: you know, things afoot of reality as well that have
- 17:11Speaker 7: to be going into our phrase. So the beginning is here.
- 17:15Speaker 7: The first states Florida did it on Monday, just as
- 17:20Speaker 7: signed the redistricting Tennessee signed theirs Tennessee Democrats calling on
- 17:30Speaker 7: Memphis to secede from the state to become part of Arkansas.
- 17:38Speaker 7: I guess, I mean, you know, the sovereign state of Memphis.
- 17:43Speaker 7: And this is a city, by the way, that just
- 17:45Speaker 7: hosted Donald Trump like a month ago. Can we get
- 17:48Speaker 7: Todd back on the program? He and I are supposed
- 17:51Speaker 7: to share the stage at our industry convention, Todd Starn's
- 17:58Speaker 7: I think has he started us in? Somebody in Memphis
- 18:02Speaker 7: call us if we're on the mighty nine to ninety.
- 18:06Speaker 7: I don't know. I don't know, because there are more
- 18:09Speaker 7: important things to do than go running around saying, are
- 18:12Speaker 7: you counting my show yet? And we bless our friends
- 18:15Speaker 7: in Chattanooga. It was one of those things that was
- 18:19Speaker 7: a head scratcher when we built our network of affiliates.
- 18:22Speaker 7: I'm like, where's Tennessee. Tennessee is hopefully pick up Bristol
- 18:30Speaker 7: as well in there, you know, a state that gets
- 18:34Speaker 7: it in so many ways. But Memphis. Now, the Democrats
- 18:39Speaker 7: in Memphis want to secede. When Republicans say that, say
- 18:43Speaker 7: in Western Virginia, it's the Vexit movement where all the
- 18:47Speaker 7: counties west of the Blue Ridge Mountains, like where our
- 18:51Speaker 7: flagship station is, start looking to West Virginia and saying, hey,
- 18:56Speaker 7: can we join you. West Virginia's like, hey, you guys
- 19:00Speaker 7: work over there, so tax revenue, you guys generate. You're
- 19:03Speaker 7: all conservative like us. Me. I agree with some of
- 19:08Speaker 7: my friends in the Virginia General Assembly. I'd rather see
- 19:11Speaker 7: West Virginia come back and make us best Virginia. You know,
- 19:15Speaker 7: bring bring all their conservative blue collar work ethic into
- 19:20Speaker 7: the Virginia map, make Washington d C Square again, and
- 19:26Speaker 7: we'd be just as conservative politically as Tennessee. But that's
- 19:30Speaker 7: my view is, you know, all the rivalry over the
- 19:35Speaker 7: Civil War is gone, although it's still going to flame
- 19:39Speaker 7: up at some point. Well, this is why West Virginia left. Ironically,
- 19:45Speaker 7: West Virginia celebrates its southern heritage when it actually didn't
- 19:51Speaker 7: join the Confederacy. It it became West Virginia because it
- 19:57Speaker 7: didn't want to become a slave state and become part
- 20:01Speaker 7: of the Confederacy. But you know, we could heal that.
- 20:08Speaker 7: I don't know would that be called a wax. It
- 20:11Speaker 7: just spitballing here. So Tennessee lawmakers have done the deed.
- 20:18Speaker 7: Now the only Democrat held seat in Tennessee now is
- 20:27Speaker 7: divided in half, splitting Shelby County, where Memphis is a
- 20:32Speaker 7: majority black city that played a critical role in the
- 20:35Speaker 7: Civil rights movement. We know that, but it is a mess.
- 20:42Speaker 7: You go down to Beale Street and the music and
- 20:45Speaker 7: the clubs and everything else. It's as much fun as
- 20:48Speaker 7: going to the French Quarter in New Orleans. Apologies to
- 20:51Speaker 7: our friends at WGSO, the music, the food, all of that.
- 20:58Speaker 7: But you get into downtown memphisism mess of empty office buildings,
- 21:04Speaker 7: empty apartment buildings. And these office buildings in downtown Memphis
- 21:09Speaker 7: have been empty for a decade or more just rotting
- 21:13Speaker 7: behind Orange Fencing. And Memphis has a homeless encampment in
- 21:21Speaker 7: front of the Federal Reserve Bank. I love that because
- 21:26Speaker 7: it's just the most appropriate place to set up a
- 21:29Speaker 7: homeless encampment is in front of the Memphis Fed Memphis
- 21:38Speaker 7: needs help, Memphis needs jobs, Memphis needs to go to work.
- 21:46Speaker 7: So now, just you know, Republicans gaining majorities and more
- 21:53Speaker 7: seats in Congress guarantee that no, but it will make
- 21:57Speaker 7: sure there ain't impeachments for the next two years.
- 22:01Speaker 8: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National League training for Planet Fitness,
- 22:04Speaker 8: and the American Heart Association recommends that we all get
- 22:08Speaker 8: at least one hundred and fifty minutes of moderate aerobic
- 22:10Speaker 8: activity in a week's time. But here's the thing that
- 22:13Speaker 8: one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to be
- 22:15Speaker 8: super intense. As a matter of fact, it could just
- 22:18Speaker 8: be you moving your body and doing what you already

- 24:07Speaker 5: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 24:12Speaker 5: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18Speaker 5: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22Speaker 5: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26Speaker 5: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31Speaker 5: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 5: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:41Speaker 5: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 24:45Speaker 5: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

- 28:20Speaker 25: You can pay people less than what they're worth, but
- 28:23Speaker 25: you can't earn that right, and so you have to
- 28:27Speaker 25: create a myth.
- 28:30Speaker 14: That.
- 28:31Speaker 25: Since you didn't earn that, you have to create a
- 28:33Speaker 25: myth of earning it. There's a certain level of wealth

- 29:10Speaker 7: You know, let her loose, give her microphones. It's the
- 29:14Speaker 7: joy of this world of podcasts that you know she'll
- 29:18Speaker 7: find her friends and then they're out there for all
- 29:21Speaker 7: to see. So there's a couple of realities. And there's
- 29:27Speaker 7: a reason I'm bringing her to the fore. Not to
- 29:30Speaker 7: ruin your late night snack or breakfast. Not no, not
- 29:35Speaker 7: at all. This is a myth that has metastasized to
- 29:42Speaker 7: the American organ because conservatives like you and me don't
- 29:51Speaker 7: roll up our sleeves and get into this. We flinch,
- 29:56Speaker 7: We obfuscate, we apologize, mostly because people like you and
- 30:04Speaker 7: me grew up in a world. She goes on to say,
- 30:07Speaker 7: do we have the clip of her saying that we
- 30:08Speaker 7: were apartheid up until nineteen sixty three. That's even a
- 30:14Speaker 7: better part of this insanity. That is, we'll get it
- 30:26Speaker 7: for me, but for now we have a trust relationship.
- 30:30Speaker 7: She goes on to say that America was apartheid until
- 30:35Speaker 7: nineteen sixty three, and I'll tell you where she comes
- 30:38Speaker 7: up with that because we had allowed, since the end
- 30:41Speaker 7: of the Civil War, apartheid to creep its way into
- 30:46Speaker 7: our laws, the Jim Crow laws, laws that said you
- 30:51Speaker 7: can't go here, you can't work there, you can't earn this,
- 30:54Speaker 7: she can't go to that school, all of those things
- 30:56Speaker 7: that led to the Voting Rights Act that is now
- 31:01Speaker 7: you know, and the Voting Rights Act was wrong when
- 31:04Speaker 7: it was passed, but it was a wrong trying to
- 31:11Speaker 7: undo a wrong that was done in nineteen twenty nine.
- 31:14Speaker 7: Oh here he goes again. I'm sorry, I'm not letting
- 31:18Speaker 7: loose on this. This is if there isn't a time
- 31:21Speaker 7: where Democrats and Republicans can both look at the Permanent
- 31:25Speaker 7: Reapportionment Act of nineteen twenty nine, what up until this
- 31:29Speaker 7: year was just an obscure obsession by Joe Thomas in
- 31:34Speaker 7: the morning and look at it and say, this is
- 31:38Speaker 7: what set us up all into this, and look at
- 31:41Speaker 7: the history of it and the racist bias of it.
- 31:44Speaker 7: How can you stand for a law that was specifically
- 31:48Speaker 7: written to keep black people out of Congress, all of this,
- 31:55Speaker 7: all this redistricting mania. Jump in with me here. I'm
- 32:01Speaker 7: not the bad guy. I'm the one who's pointing out
- 32:04Speaker 7: that the emperor hasn't had clothes since the early nineteen hundreds.
- 32:08Speaker 7: And yes, we allowed you because the Supreme Court was
- 32:13Speaker 7: afraid to weigh in on racist laws in a civil
- 32:26Speaker 7: war that has never been put out. We've just changed
- 32:29Speaker 7: the permanent underclass that we're looking for. Oh, the Democrats
- 32:34Speaker 7: would be happy if the black community would go back
- 32:36Speaker 7: to being a permanent underclass. That would just automatically vote
- 32:39Speaker 7: for them. But now they're looking at the non citizen community.
- 32:51Speaker 7: Is that a hyphen it? We can? Can we create
- 32:53Speaker 7: that hyphen it I'm a non citizen American? I mean
- 32:58Speaker 7: you have African American, Irish American, Scottish American, Jewish American,
- 33:05Speaker 7: you name it. Can we have a new hyphen it,
- 33:09Speaker 7: I'm a non citizen American. Actually, it probably wouldn't sound
- 33:13Speaker 7: that way. Eight years of Spanish and I can't on
- 33:18Speaker 7: the fly translate what I'm a non citizen American would
- 33:23Speaker 7: sound like. I'll get Google Translate to write it for me,
- 33:26Speaker 7: or one of you will do that. While we finished
- 33:29Speaker 7: the segment here. The analysis of this is that while
- 33:36Speaker 7: we despise her policies and what she wants, because she
- 33:41Speaker 7: just wants more of what has led us here. She's
- 33:44Speaker 7: not picking up the wrong stuff. It's just the stuff
- 33:49Speaker 7: that conservatives are afraid to touch because their political consultants
- 33:54Speaker 7: tell them that's a Democrat issue. They win on that, well,
- 33:59Speaker 7: they win on it because we don't suit up. We
- 34:02Speaker 7: don't suit up and say, dude, we haven't seen a
- 34:04Speaker 7: free market economy since the fifties, maybe the sixties. Eisenhower
- 34:11Speaker 7: warned us about where our free market economy was going
- 34:14Speaker 7: as he left office. The two greatest generals in the
- 34:20Speaker 7: history of humanity, sorry, Alexander, the two greatest generals in
- 34:25Speaker 7: the history of humanity as men who led armies to
- 34:29Speaker 7: liberate more people than ever. Every other general was about
- 34:35Speaker 7: invading and conquering and all this other stuff. We were
- 34:38Speaker 7: about liberating. Washington and Eisenhower partisan politics and government cronyism.
- 34:49Speaker 7: You've got a better petritish to look at what's wrong
- 34:52Speaker 7: with this country. The real virus that's infecting us, not
- 34:56Speaker 7: the one that some blogger invented off of a cruise
- 34:59Speaker 7: ship some where. By the way, have you seen the
- 35:03Speaker 7: meme that's going around saying, am I the first one
- 35:07Speaker 7: to say I don't want to take the hint of
- 35:08Speaker 7: virus vaccine. I thought that was very funny. I responded
- 35:14Speaker 7: to the one that was sent to me by a listener,
- 35:17Speaker 7: and they said too soon, question mark, Nah, never too
- 35:21Speaker 7: soon for a little Tony Fauci jab there pun intended. Okay,
- 35:34Speaker 7: go ahead, just if you must.
- 35:37Speaker 17: Is it really safe and is it really effective?
- 35:40Speaker 7: You feel better now? Okay? So AOC, like Democrats long
- 35:50Speaker 7: before her, picking up on realities. People are struggling to
- 35:54Speaker 7: pay their bills. And this is where Lyndon Johnson swooped
- 35:57Speaker 7: in with the Great Society, and conservative have been pulling
- 36:02Speaker 7: their punches over this for too long now because if
- 36:08Speaker 7: we don't make the case now, I don't know when
- 36:14Speaker 7: we've had a better opportunity, a better landscape to make
- 36:17Speaker 7: the case for that. Everything that was started during the
- 36:20Speaker 7: Great Society has led us here. We have four times
- 36:24Speaker 7: as many poor people as we did in nineteen sixty four,
- 36:30Speaker 7: We have fewer jobs, greater national debt, and we lose
- 36:35Speaker 7: our minds talking about he said, She said, I sprinking
- 36:39Speaker 7: each other like Larry Curley and Moe trying to decide
- 36:46Speaker 7: who's more conservative. Ken s Moss Conservativo. Instead of saying listen,
- 37:00Speaker 7: this is what a free market would do for you.
- 37:05Speaker 7: And k Street doesn't like the idea. The DNC doesn't
- 37:11Speaker 7: like the idea of unfortunately too large majority at the
- 37:16Speaker 7: RNC doesn't like the idea, and they scare you with
- 37:21Speaker 7: the idea of it's chaos. So what they've been tagging
- 37:27Speaker 7: Donald Trump with for ten years now, it's chaos? Well,
- 37:34Speaker 7: look around you at what control has done, and tell
- 37:38Speaker 7: me chaos might not be a little bit more. Well,
- 37:42Speaker 7: surely it's volatile. And here's the thing the Democrats always say, Oh,
- 37:47Speaker 7: capitalism isn't a guarantee. No, it isn't You know what
- 37:50Speaker 7: you're guaranteed in capitalism a chance, and multiple chances, not
- 37:56Speaker 7: just one. You get multiple chances to try.

- 44:17Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 44:21Speaker 26: The last time the Alien Enemies Act was invoked, it
- 44:25Speaker 26: was used to detain and deport German, Japanese Italian immigrants
- 44:31Speaker 26: doing World War eleven.
- 44:34Speaker 14: Is this a.
- 44:34Speaker 7: Sovereignation or just opposing state?
- 44:42Speaker 6: You then look.
- 44:43Speaker 7: Out people or gets too lay real quick, you know?
- 44:49Speaker 7: And And an important date in history, eighty first anniversary
- 44:53Speaker 7: of v E Day when World War eleven ended in Europe.
- 44:59Speaker 7: And and President Trump talking with the European Union leaders.
- 45:04Speaker 7: I thought it was notable. Again, here is a gathering
- 45:10Speaker 7: led by Germany running all the economies of all the
- 45:15Speaker 7: European countries. And you sit back and you say, huh really.
- 45:20Speaker 7: And I remember asking this when the European Union was
- 45:22Speaker 7: formed because it was basing its currency on the deutsch Mark.
- 45:27Speaker 7: And I said, isn't anyone in Europe asking this question?
- 45:33Speaker 7: And my mother she said, oh yeah, oh yeah, there's
- 45:38Speaker 7: a lot of people in Europe that are still asking this.
- 45:42Speaker 7: She told me this is why it took so long
- 45:44Speaker 7: to get the European Union up and running, that there
- 45:47Speaker 7: were still an awful lot of people with little poppies
- 45:50Speaker 7: on their lapel's who remembered the last time Europe was
- 45:54Speaker 7: dominated by Germany. But outside of that historic irony and
- 46:05Speaker 7: the fact that it gives us a chance to play,
- 46:07Speaker 7: il han Omar exposing herself for who she is just
- 46:13Speaker 7: a script reader. I'm not saying she's got no intellectual
- 46:17Speaker 7: half do or anything, but she's just a script reader.
- 46:20Speaker 7: It's interesting because people like you and me, if we
- 46:24Speaker 7: espouse conservative principles, you're like, oh, you're just you're a
- 46:27Speaker 7: dat a hat, You're just spouting what you're told on
- 46:30Speaker 7: the radio because you have no intellectual ability. And I
- 46:34Speaker 7: will point to anyone who says that about this program.
- 46:37Speaker 7: I'll say, listen to all the folks who call and
- 46:39Speaker 7: disagree with me or the emails I get disagree with me.
- 46:43Speaker 7: And this weekend, across the country, letter carriers are going
- 46:46Speaker 7: to be picking up food for your local food bank
- 46:49Speaker 7: stamp out hunger because it's there, it's real, and it
- 46:53Speaker 7: hasn't subsided since COVID. And if there's an example of
- 46:59Speaker 7: what we were just talking about with free market economy,
- 47:09Speaker 7: it's this schism that is driving people because things commodities
- 47:16Speaker 7: will price themselves at what they can get for them.
- 47:24Speaker 7: A house in a community full of university professors will
- 47:31Speaker 7: cost what university professors can afford. And too many states
- 47:41Speaker 7: write tax law that protects property owners from lowering their
- 47:46Speaker 7: price or needing to lower the price of their home.
- 47:50Speaker 7: If your home isn't selling because it's too expensive, lower
- 47:54Speaker 7: the price. Nobody does that anymore. If your storefront is
- 47:58Speaker 7: unoccupied because the rent is too high, lower it. That's
- 48:04Speaker 7: how a free market system works. But people don't want
- 48:08Speaker 7: to do that. You know why, because governments fund themselves
- 48:12Speaker 7: on property values. So if things start costing less, the
- 48:16Speaker 7: government gets less.
- 48:21Speaker 6: It is.
- 48:21Speaker 7: It's one of one of the sad truisms. And never
- 48:29Speaker 7: mind what it does to our schools. I thought this
- 48:33Speaker 7: FEMA report was interesting as well because and now it's
- 48:38Speaker 7: oh the government, Trump's abandoning the black people, and Trump's
- 48:42Speaker 7: abandoning the disaster stricken FEMA and their own internal Review Council,
- 48:50Speaker 7: which wasn't all MAGA irreparably damaged by should creep and
- 49:01Speaker 7: endemic program failures. How many before COVID ever existed, how
- 49:08Speaker 7: many fraud cases had been brought against FEMA Because unscrupulous,
- 49:15Speaker 7: amoral people will see a disaster and say, ah, I
- 49:20Speaker 7: can make some money on this because out of an
- 49:24Speaker 7: abundance of care, people will arrive saying, hey, how can
- 49:29Speaker 7: we help, and unscrupulous people will say, you know, I
- 49:33Speaker 7: need this, and in the tumult of a emergency, people
- 49:40Speaker 7: get it and then they're gone. They're in the wind.
- 49:43Speaker 7: We watched it during Superstorm I hate that phrase. By
- 49:47Speaker 7: the way, during Sandy, many of the people who were
- 49:52Speaker 7: getting FEMA aid were people who had their second house.
- 49:57Speaker 7: And I'm not hating on second house owners, but they
- 50:00Speaker 7: were getting made whole for something that hadn't made them damaged.
- 50:06Speaker 7: I mean they'd lost value their property on the beach
- 50:11Speaker 7: that most local watchers in the Jersey Shore would say
- 50:15Speaker 7: was inappropriate to be right on the Atlantic Ocean with
- 50:18Speaker 7: a three story glass building. But half a century of
- 50:24Speaker 7: not having a storm like that led people to think,
- 50:27Speaker 7: I think it's okay now, and insurance companies were getting
- 50:31Speaker 7: hit and then they were turning to FEMA, and FEMA
- 50:34Speaker 7: was trying to aid photographs of jaguars being pulled out
- 50:39Speaker 7: of sand and stuff. And I'm not saying people didn't
- 50:43Speaker 7: lose value, But when a government agency inserts itself saying
- 50:47Speaker 7: we will print more magic mystery money and give it
- 50:51Speaker 7: to you it's not worth as much as it was
- 50:53Speaker 7: when you bought the Jaguar in the first place, because
- 50:57Speaker 7: there's hardcore fraud and there's soft core fraud because in
- 51:04Speaker 7: emergencies that's what happens. So it's you're setting yourself up
- 51:09Speaker 7: for failure in an operation like the Federal Emergency Management
- 51:13Speaker 7: Agency because sometimes you have to say no. And then
- 51:19Speaker 7: you've got the TV news saying this family had their
- 51:21Speaker 7: home washed away and FEMA has left them on the
- 51:24Speaker 7: side of the road with no help because it's a
- 51:29Speaker 7: big federal bureaucracy, just like COVID was. How many congress
- 51:35Speaker 7: people just in the last six months have been caught
- 51:37Speaker 7: up in this COVID fraud. My favorite part of the
- 51:44Speaker 7: Florida story is the guy who wants to replace the
- 51:47Speaker 7: congresswoman who had to leave after stealing five million dollars
- 51:50Speaker 7: in COVID money. His daughters did the same thing. I
- 51:54Speaker 7: guess he didn't do it, so it's just a family business.
- 51:58Speaker 7: I wonder if Joe Biden, or at least Hunter Biden,
- 52:01Speaker 7: endorsed the guy got to keep it in the family.
- 52:07Speaker 7: I did a piece It should be up later today.
- 52:09Speaker 7: Video column for Daily Signals YouTube channel on the irony
- 52:15Speaker 7: of the fact that Joe Biden came after Louise Lucas
- 52:19Speaker 7: here in Virginia for the corruption of using her political
- 52:24Speaker 7: office to make money. As I say in the piece,
- 52:28Speaker 7: well they ought to know. Hey, hey, stop working our
- 52:35Speaker 7: side of the street here. That's our scam as money
- 52:39Speaker 7: Hunter could have been making through Bearisma Holdings. And this
- 52:43Speaker 7: is what happens. You keep allowing the government to do
- 52:46Speaker 7: more and more, and the corruption will grow exponentially with it.
- 52:51Speaker 20: My name is Bobby. I'm a veteran and lost my
- 52:54Speaker 20: leg to a roadside bomb.
