0:41
Speaker 2: On the program where we tell you what went on
0:44
Speaker 2: since last we spoke. Then we'll give you our analysis
0:48
Speaker 2: of it. But mostly I'd like to hear how it's
0:51
Speaker 2: impacting you where you are. You do it multiple ways.
0:54
Speaker 2: Our phone number is four three four eight eight two
0:57
Speaker 2: four two one seven. You can also use that to
1:01
Speaker 2: text message, which is a massively popular way because mornings
1:05
Speaker 2: are crazy. I always used to get this from the
1:07
Speaker 2: midday guys. Oh I got more phone calls than Joe does. Well, yeah,
1:11
Speaker 2: you're on at lunch. I have time to call you
1:14
Speaker 2: at lunch. I don't have time to call you first
1:16
Speaker 2: thing in the morning, So I get it. I'm down
1:20
Speaker 2: with you player. So Bob sent us this sometimes being
1:23
Speaker 2: a good Christian meant being a bad Roman. So before
1:27
Speaker 2: you accuse people of being unpatriotic, ask yourself which empire
1:31
Speaker 2: they're actually serving. That's a great I love that one,
1:36
Speaker 2: because you know, that's one of the reasons Adams et
1:41
Speaker 2: cetera said we needed to be a moral society because
1:44
Speaker 2: we can't be good Americans if we're not moral. We
1:48
Speaker 2: just can't. It's not physically possible. Let me see who
1:53
Speaker 2: was on the line before we go for our first things.
1:56
Speaker 2: This morning, Good morning. Who's this, Hey Joe, Good morning.
1:59
Speaker 2: It's Joel. Hey Joel, how are you doing this Friday morning?
2:03
Speaker 2: I'm okay.
2:03
Speaker 10: I finished my first week week go Monday through Thursday,
2:08
Speaker 10: so on Friday.
2:09
Speaker 2: So it's good, awesome. That's why you wanted to, you know,
2:12
Speaker 2: because you used to have tedsdy off and you used
2:14
Speaker 2: to call on tedsdy and and that was fun. But
2:17
Speaker 2: now now you have a long weekend. That's interesting. So
2:20
Speaker 2: is it interesting work? It is?
2:23
Speaker 10: It's an it's infusion center work. So we're working with
2:26
Speaker 10: all the new biologics and then so we do objections too.
2:32
Speaker 2: That's it, you know. And you know, in Virginia, I
2:34
Speaker 2: don't know how Florida's laws are where you are, but
2:37
Speaker 2: what they're one of those industries that is suffering under
2:41
Speaker 2: this certificate of public need stuff. That's another one of
2:45
Speaker 2: these things that half the country has, these uh cop
2:49
Speaker 2: N laws that say that if you want to start
2:53
Speaker 2: a medical business, you have to get permission from the
2:56
Speaker 2: big medical providers. The all the hospitals and and half
2:59
Speaker 2: of the hospitals are owned by insurance companies. Tell you what, Joel,
3:03
Speaker 2: hang on. I want to get my first things out
3:05
Speaker 2: in here so that people know what we're talking about,
3:08
Speaker 2: and then you can hang on with me. I will
3:11
Speaker 2: all right. Let me see who's online too. We'll just
3:13
Speaker 2: tell them the same thing. Good morning, who's this? This
3:16
Speaker 2: is Matt, Hey, Matt. We're just about to run our
3:18
Speaker 2: first things down so that we know what we're talking
3:21
Speaker 2: about this morning. Believe me, you know in talk radio
3:24
Speaker 2: that's not a prerequisite. But but look, can I hang
3:27
Speaker 2: on to you on the line? Sure, right, you know,
3:30
Speaker 2: cheap shots, no extra charge here. But anyway, let me
3:35
Speaker 2: tell you what's been going on. President Trump and Senate
3:42
Speaker 2: Democrats say they've come to a deal to avert the
3:45
Speaker 2: partial government shutdown and temporarily fund the Department of Homeland Security,
3:50
Speaker 2: as no negotiations continue on restrictions on what they could
3:55
Speaker 2: do regarding illegal immigration enforcement. Under the agreement, the Senate
3:59
Speaker 2: would quickly past five of the six spending bills that
4:03
Speaker 2: have already cleared the House, and then take the next
4:06
Speaker 2: two weeks to tweak the DHS budget. The passage would
4:11
Speaker 2: also create a fully funded federal government for the rest
4:17
Speaker 2: of the fiscal year ending September thirtieth. The joy of
4:21
Speaker 2: the DHS questions is it's taken the prickly issue of
4:25
Speaker 2: the extension of Obamacare subsidies. Also still in this extension
4:31
Speaker 2: to continue through September thirtieth, House Republicans are proposing sweeping
4:37
Speaker 2: changes to the voting laws. It's the Save Act, finally
4:41
Speaker 2: introduced yesterday, requiring photo ID before people can get government
4:48
Speaker 2: benefits or enter government building I mean vote. I'm sorry,
4:53
Speaker 2: those things you already need photo ID to do or
4:56
Speaker 2: board an airplane, but you would also need proof of
5:00
Speaker 2: citizenship to get said photo ID. Both would be put
5:03
Speaker 2: in place by twenty twenty seven, but immediate changes would
5:07
Speaker 2: be the ending of vote by mail and ranked choice voting.
5:12
Speaker 2: President Trump says he plans to announce his choice for
5:15
Speaker 2: Chairman of the Federal Reserve Friday morning. That would be
5:19
Speaker 2: this morning. Malania Trump's documentary hits the big screens on
5:24
Speaker 2: fifteen hundred theaters across the United States. Had a gala
5:29
Speaker 2: premier yesterday at the Trump Kennedy Center. President Trump Thursday
5:34
Speaker 2: signed an executive order coordinating the federal response to drug
5:40
Speaker 2: addiction and substance abuse. The order creates a White House
5:45
Speaker 2: Great American Recovery Initiative, which advises federal agencies on directing
5:51
Speaker 2: grants to support addiction recovery and increase awareness about drug addiction.
5:57

13:14
Speaker 3: Jack Amaze your friends Here at first Thing Today by
13:25
Speaker 3: Joe Thomas.
13:32
Speaker 2: So phone linees jammed here at four three four eighty
13:36
Speaker 2: two four two one seven Matts on hold, Joel is
13:40
Speaker 2: up with us. Good morning, so Joel, thank you for
13:43
Speaker 2: hanging on the line. Aside from discussing your your work
13:46
Speaker 2: week brought to you to the phone this morning.
13:50
Speaker 10: So as they would say around here for Jamaica, and
13:53
Speaker 10: I say, I'll be jomming the phone lines.
13:55
Speaker 2: Mon Oh, there you go. That's what I smelled anyway.
14:00
Speaker 2: So anyway, what what's triggered you to join in this morning?
14:05
Speaker 20: Well?
14:06
Speaker 2: I have these questions.
14:07
Speaker 10: I don't know if you're doing live with Ken Kitchenelli
14:09
Speaker 10: or if you you know you did.
14:10
Speaker 2: You'll be here after eight, I mean you know, I
14:13
Speaker 2: have a list of questions. So yours will mostly triage
14:17
Speaker 2: behind me. So okay, but so.
14:23
Speaker 10: What bothers me is The I nine is set up.
14:25
Speaker 10: It was set up in November sixth, nineteen eighty six.
14:28
Speaker 10: It's two seven four A and USC three twenty four
14:32
Speaker 10: nine B and a MB or something like that. But
14:36
Speaker 10: it requires that employers have proof of actual documentation of
14:42
Speaker 10: those employees. Right now, there's some states that require, I
14:48
Speaker 10: guess for twenty five or more. So if some of
14:51
Speaker 10: those states don't require twenty five or more, are the
14:54
Speaker 10: are the ones that are five, ten, fifteen, maybe twenty
14:58
Speaker 10: or twenty four? Are those the ones that are getting
15:01
Speaker 10: through and undercutting jobs? And then the other portion of
15:05
Speaker 10: this is the H two A for farming, and statistically
15:10
Speaker 10: it says that forty to fifty percent of farm workers
15:14
Speaker 10: are illegal immigrants, and they're supposed to if they do
15:20
Speaker 10: get documented or they do get an H two visa
15:23
Speaker 10: for seasonal work, they're supposed to provide housing, free housing,
15:30
Speaker 10: food or places for people to cook and you know, live.
15:35
Speaker 2: But just like we used to, just like we used
15:38
Speaker 2: to back in the nineteenth century when we just called
15:40
Speaker 2: it slavery right, put it right away exactly.
15:43
Speaker 1: That was my whole point.
15:44
Speaker 2: I was going to say after that, but oh but no,
15:47
Speaker 2: I was.
15:47
Speaker 10: I just didn't. I'm not fast enough, but I just
15:50
Speaker 10: wanted to say this. So there's a there's a portion
15:53
Speaker 10: of what's going on that it's in the midst of
15:56
Speaker 10: legality because as you as we say, you don't want
16:00
Speaker 10: extensive products. But but then we're allowing these these what's
16:07
Speaker 10: the word where you're at the edge of illegality, but
16:10
Speaker 10: you're not fringe. You know, you're shadow the friends right
16:14
Speaker 10: that you know, you know how to you know how
16:16
Speaker 10: to almost bypass the eat illegality of it.
16:20
Speaker 2: Well, because you have groups like Indivisible that will provide
16:23
Speaker 2: legal assistance for you to tell you don't do this,
16:26
Speaker 2: don't go there. I mean you're still you know, you're
16:29
Speaker 2: still living in the shadows. And it's just ignorance.
16:33
Speaker 10: And that's part of you know, as far as like
16:35
Speaker 10: Moscow Bob brought up, it's it's part of It's I
16:38
Speaker 10: don't think it's necessarily mental disease. That's a morality disease.
16:43
Speaker 10: And and and it's not that we have to make
16:45
Speaker 10: everything black and white. We have to make things clear.
16:49
Speaker 10: You know, you have to be able to see it.
16:51
Speaker 10: So even people who can't understand legality, you know, legal laws.
16:56
Speaker 10: It needs to be put in common common readable language
17:00
Speaker 10: that if you can read to you know, to understand
17:04
Speaker 10: that language. The set of government ease.
17:06
Speaker 2: Well, this is why citizenship matters. And this is my
17:09
Speaker 2: point always in this is that citizenship matters because it
17:13
Speaker 2: protects the new citizen against exploitation. Let me see what
17:17
Speaker 2: Matt's got for us, Joel, good stuff, my friend. Thanks
17:22
Speaker 2: and online too. We've got Matt hanging on in Virginia.
17:26
Speaker 2: Thank you for hanging on, Matt. What's on your mind?
17:29
Speaker 21: Well, first of all, I'd like to congratulate Joel if
17:32
Speaker 21: he's found profitable employment. Yep, yep, I miss you, buddy.
17:42
Speaker 2: Well, you know, and it is an industry. You know
17:45
Speaker 2: that that infusion, but also the primary kid, the direct
17:48
Speaker 2: care clinics and things like this. The biggest hospital systems
17:53
Speaker 2: are trying to clamp down on these things using the
17:55
Speaker 2: certificate of public need laws, and we've got to watch
18:00
Speaker 2: out for that because medical treatment is medical treatment. I
18:04
Speaker 2: don't want, you know, somebody coming along trying to sell
18:08
Speaker 2: snake oil without me being able to say, hey, you're
18:10
Speaker 2: selling snake oil and there might be an efficacy for
18:13
Speaker 2: snake oil, who knows. Well.
18:17
Speaker 21: The point I would like to raise here is with
18:21
Speaker 21: all of these ice protests that we have in Minnesota
18:27
Speaker 21: and people complaining about.
18:29
Speaker 2: It, hey, hang on before you before you go forward
18:32
Speaker 2: to this, We're supposed to have a nationwide shutdown today.
18:37
Speaker 2: Indivisible is going to try to show off its chops
18:40
Speaker 2: so that they're better at organizing than the No kingspeople.
18:44
Speaker 2: Indivisible is going to try to do a nationwide, you know,
18:48
Speaker 2: Leq Willessa style shutdown of the United States today. You
18:53
Speaker 2: won't notice it here in Central Virginia because all the
18:56
Speaker 2: schools are closed anyway. But schools are supposed to be
18:59
Speaker 2: walking out. Tea is supposed to be taking kids out
19:01
Speaker 2: of class, staging a walkout, using children as there as tools.
19:08
Speaker 2: I'd love to see some people arrested for that, But
19:11
Speaker 2: this is supposed to be a nationwide thing today. Anyway,
19:13
Speaker 2: Go go on.
19:14
Speaker 21: I just want to well, I mean what I get
19:17
Speaker 21: frustrated with is that you basically have a body that
19:26
Speaker 21: is riddled with cancer cells and these people are complaining
19:31
Speaker 21: because the chemo is making them nauseous.
19:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a big problem. That's a great analogy
19:40
Speaker 2: for it because and I think you've heard me say
19:44
Speaker 2: this over the past few weeks, show me the law
19:47
Speaker 2: that you are protesting. When doctor King marched down across
19:51
Speaker 2: the bridge into Selma, there were specific laws in specific
19:56
Speaker 2: states that they wanted overturned because they were unconstitution Show
20:01
Speaker 2: me the piece of immigration law that these individualists want changed.
20:07
Speaker 2: They I can't ask them, because this is my point
20:10
Speaker 2: about the cult members. If I try to talk to them,
20:13
Speaker 2: I just get shouted at with you know, hey, hey
20:16
Speaker 2: ho ho, Ice officers got to go and other you
20:20
Speaker 2: know slogans and chantings. I get no direct intellectual answer
20:25
Speaker 2: from anyone as to what law needs to change.
20:28
Speaker 20: And other slogans and chantings that are getting recycled from
20:32
Speaker 20: the nineteen sixties.
20:34
Speaker 2: That's right, because you know, and I get it.
20:36
Speaker 20: It used to be hey, hey, ho ho Lbj's gotta go.
20:42
Speaker 2: And it keeps just getting morphed. I guess, you know,
20:44
Speaker 2: when you've got a classic hit, you keep playing it
20:46
Speaker 2: on the radio. But you know, but that's the thing.
20:49
Speaker 20: Because they've got nothing else, and that's the problem.
20:52
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I'd love to I'd love to engage in
20:55
Speaker 2: a debate about this stuff with them.
20:57
Speaker 20: I listened to a radio clip of the small fry
21:01
Speaker 20: this mayor from Minneapolis.
21:05
Speaker 2: To take to take Jake.
21:08
Speaker 20: He was He was complaining that Ice was getting involved
21:13
Speaker 20: in a local issue. I beg to differ, this is
21:18
Speaker 20: not a local issue. This is an issue of national security.
21:24
Speaker 20: This is an issue of not knowing who is within
21:29
Speaker 20: your borders. And maybe some of these people are safe
21:35
Speaker 20: or whatever.
21:36
Speaker 2: Good people whatever.
21:39
Speaker 20: It's like you give somebody a bowl of eminem's. It's
21:43
Speaker 20: a big bowl of eminem's, and you say, oh, yeah,
21:46
Speaker 20: most of them are fine. There's maybe half a dozen
21:49
Speaker 20: in there that are deadly poisoned, but you don't go
21:51
Speaker 20: for it.
21:52
Speaker 2: Your percentages are in your favor. Well yeah, and that's
21:54
Speaker 2: a great point also about the abuse of these people
21:59
Speaker 2: as pawns in this.

28:11
Speaker 3: On a need to know basis, because you need to
28:15
Speaker 3: know the first thing today.
28:21
Speaker 2: Hey, hey, easy, you mean Roku and Substack. Yes we are,
28:50
Speaker 2: but you know we we live in places where with apologies. Yes,
28:55
Speaker 2: I understand that Colonel Jessup was technically the quote bad
29:00
Speaker 2: guy in a Few Good Men, but that's what makes
29:04
Speaker 2: his scene stealing. We live in a world that has walls,
29:10
Speaker 2: and those walls need to be protected by men with guns, son,
29:15
Speaker 2: because we do. And your rights are protected by law,
29:21
Speaker 2: and those laws need to be enforced by law enforcement.
29:25
Speaker 2: And anything other than that is an attempt to bring
29:27
Speaker 2: on anarchy, and you rapid in whatever raiment you want.
29:35
Speaker 2: The bottom line is, nobody has shown me a law
29:38
Speaker 2: that needs to change in our immigration outside of the
29:41
Speaker 2: fact that Joe Biden let millions of people into this
29:45
Speaker 2: country illegally without any sort of substance as to how
29:49
Speaker 2: they were going to learn their rights and protections. Thus,
29:52
Speaker 2: my point about the permanent underclass and how we're just
29:56
Speaker 2: fighting the same civil war we were before. Matt was
29:59
Speaker 2: on the line with us when we headed to the news.
30:02
Speaker 2: My point on this is, as a subtext, if you're
30:06
Speaker 2: telling me that you're doing this out of care, out
30:09
Speaker 2: of care for these people, are you really caring for
30:13
Speaker 2: them or are you just looking to create this permanent underclass.
30:16
Speaker 2: It has been the plank under my idea that this
30:20
Speaker 2: isn't a new civil war, it's the same old one.
30:22
Speaker 2: By the way, on your point about it's a local issue,
30:26
Speaker 2: when did Minneapolis become a sovereign country so that they
30:31
Speaker 2: could convey citizenship on someone, I don't remember that moment.
30:35
Speaker 2: I thought it would have made the news.
30:37
Speaker 20: Well, I mean, you have people on the right want
30:44
Speaker 20: the immigrants in because it means cheaper labor for them.
30:47
Speaker 20: People on the left want the immigrants in because it
30:50
Speaker 20: means more voters for them than they can gin up
30:55
Speaker 20: the census numbers and that sort of thing. These are
31:00
Speaker 20: internal political issues. But how many of these people who
31:05
Speaker 20: have been have been sent across our borders by regimes
31:11
Speaker 20: that are hostile to us, such as the Chinese, such
31:15
Speaker 20: as the Iranians, such as the Mexicans.
31:19
Speaker 2: Right, and it's done to create tumult.
31:24
Speaker 20: Yeah, it's not. It's not like We've got a lot
31:27
Speaker 20: of friends out there in the world these days now,
31:31
Speaker 20: and these I worry about a lot of these people
31:35
Speaker 20: who have been sent here with malicious intent, not just
31:41
Speaker 20: to pick our pockets or anything like that, which some
31:44
Speaker 20: of them are doing anyway, but the ones that are
31:46
Speaker 20: here because they're on a mission from wherever to disrupt
31:52
Speaker 20: this nation.
31:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, uh. And you see it in southern California.
31:57
Speaker 2: I told the story You're going to up to joshua
32:00
Speaker 2: a Tree, and there were all these folks saying, this
32:02
Speaker 2: is Mexico, this is our land, you know, and and these, uh,
32:06
Speaker 2: these protests about taking back Texas and Arizona and southern California.
32:12
Speaker 2: You know, I think they draw the line at San Francisco.
32:15
Speaker 2: Even Mexico doesn't want San Francisco back. But you know this,
32:19
Speaker 2: this is a sovereignty issue, and as an abstract, I
32:23
Speaker 2: don't want to drag uh, you know, another whole can
32:26
Speaker 2: of you know, Ludifisque into this. But this is this
32:32
Speaker 2: was Vladimir Putin's premise for invading Ukraine was I have
32:37
Speaker 2: all these Russian citizens that are living in Ukraine and
32:40
Speaker 2: they they're feeling like they're uh, you know, targets, and
32:43
Speaker 2: they're not being given all the rights they should have.
32:46
Speaker 2: You know, what's going to stop outside of the fact
32:48
Speaker 2: that you know, she doesn't have the army to do
32:50
Speaker 2: it yet, Claudia Scheinbaum from claiming the same issue on
32:55
Speaker 2: southern California and Texas.
32:58
Speaker 20: Well, she doesn't need to have quote unquote the army
33:02
Speaker 20: because she keeps infiltrating people in and if she infiltrates
33:06
Speaker 20: enough people in, they'll be able to vote for it.
33:10
Speaker 2: Well, they'll be able to vote for it. But she
33:12
Speaker 2: also has the drug cartels. If she keeps them on
33:14
Speaker 2: her side, they're pretty well armed.
33:18
Speaker 20: Yeah, yeah, and they're pretty well financed, yeah.
33:21
Speaker 2: And they don't necessarily follow the Geneva Convention either. Yeah. Anyway, Matt,
33:27
Speaker 2: you have a great morning, sir, Thanks for your car.
33:29
Speaker 20: You take care of Joe. Thank you.
33:31
Speaker 2: Doctor Clark is on the line with us as well
33:35
Speaker 2: on the subject of but also you know what is
33:38
Speaker 2: being done in and around We were talking about the
33:44
Speaker 2: Virginia law that would stop us from teaching January sixth
33:48
Speaker 2: to school kids anything beyond it. It was an insurrection.
33:52
Speaker 2: And he'll took you on.
33:53
Speaker 26: About Jay six I'm gonna keep talking about the night
33:55
Speaker 26: the lights went out in Georgia.
33:58
Speaker 2: Tulcy Gabbard posted some nice selfies about around that raid
34:03
Speaker 2: on Fulton County, didn't she.
34:06
Speaker 26: Yes, she did reckon that on Mountain of Hillbanes. I
34:09
Speaker 26: don't know. I have no faith in confidence that anything
34:12
Speaker 26: will come of anything anymore.
34:15
Speaker 2: Well, it's not about what It's not about changing what
34:18
Speaker 2: happened in twenty twenty. It is closing all these loopholes.
34:23
Speaker 2: Well you know, yes, yes, we do want consequences, but
34:27
Speaker 2: more importantly, we want the Save Act to pass so that,
34:32
Speaker 2: you know, so that people can get on with actually
34:35
Speaker 2: having confidence in their elections. Again.
34:39
Speaker 26: Well, gee, how long have Republicans had control of both houses?
34:47
Speaker 2: Six years?
34:50
Speaker 26: Has it passed yet?
34:52
Speaker 2: No, to be fairer. You know, they didn't try to
34:55
Speaker 2: pass it under Joe Biden because of because of Biden's
35:01
Speaker 2: ability to veto it or the auto pen's ability to
35:04
Speaker 2: veto it.
35:06
Speaker 26: You think that Donald will atow it.
35:08
Speaker 2: Not that I can see.
35:10
Speaker 26: Have they passed it yet?
35:12
Speaker 2: No, but they just introduced it yesterday.
35:17
Speaker 26: Welcome to the party, pal.
35:20
Speaker 2: You know it is what it is. You know, I
35:23
Speaker 2: will hold out hope that they get it right. We'll
35:26
Speaker 2: talk about this a little bit with Ken Kochinelli when
35:28
Speaker 2: he's on with us a little bit later on.
35:32
Speaker 26: So I'll tell you a couple of musical references. Uh
35:36
Speaker 26: huh in regards to your state legislature's desire for tax money.
35:43
Speaker 26: Cue the flying Lizards, I want money, and uh, we're
35:50
Speaker 26: going to teach all the children that Jay six was
35:52
Speaker 26: an insurrection break out the Jim Morrison and the children
35:56
Speaker 26: are insane because that's for your headed.
35:59
Speaker 2: Well, that also ties into the riots and the indoctrination there.
36:04
Speaker 2: Does anyone have a DSM? You don't happen that you're
36:07
Speaker 2: a veterinary clinic. I hope you don't have to have
36:10
Speaker 2: a DSM there unless somebody comes in with a thousand cats,
36:14
Speaker 2: and you're like, maybe just see if there's something in
36:17
Speaker 2: the DSM about that.
36:19
Speaker 26: I'm not supposed to talk about this, Joe, but there
36:23
Speaker 26: is a certain number and I don't know exactly what
36:26
Speaker 26: the specific number is, but if you care for x
36:32
Speaker 26: or more amount of cats, you are in fact crazy.
36:37
Speaker 2: That's a medical opinion right there. I don't know if
36:40
Speaker 2: it's a medical obasion.
36:41
Speaker 26: I don't know if the cats make you crazy or
36:44
Speaker 26: you're crazy and you get that many cats, but.
36:48
Speaker 2: Well, you know, it might have something to do. You
36:51
Speaker 2: know the expression I am a cat person. I will
36:54
Speaker 2: be the first one to tell you I am a
36:55
Speaker 2: cat person. I have been my whole life. But I
36:59
Speaker 2: will all be the first one to be honest about it.
37:02
Speaker 2: Dogs have people, cats have staff, and and if you
37:06
Speaker 2: need that many people, that many life forms telling you
37:09
Speaker 2: what to do and demanding of your attention, you know,
37:14
Speaker 2: thank goodness, the cat's got you before Indivisible did. That's
37:17
Speaker 2: all I'm saying.
37:19
Speaker 26: Do you have forty eight cats that live in the.
37:21
Speaker 1: House with you?
37:22
Speaker 2: No, okay, if that's very allergic to cats. But our
37:28
Speaker 2: one long hair half main coon, uh, you know, feral
37:34
Speaker 2: stray that has decided you know, what being indoors and
37:37
Speaker 2: warm is better than being outdoors and feral has has
37:42
Speaker 2: adapted to house cattery. But she's she's more than enough. Now.
37:46
Speaker 2: My son has three cats uh and uh and and
37:50
Speaker 2: there Larry, Curly and mo. But other than that, I
37:54
Speaker 2: think that's the max. I think I would I would
37:56
Speaker 2: stop at three and say, okay, that may be too
38:00
Speaker 2: too far.
38:02
Speaker 13: In a study, it was found that thirty three percent
38:05
Speaker 13: of forty four herbal supplements had no trace of the
38:08

Speaker 28: Hi, everybody, Jack Hannah and it's always a boy. Growing
41:01
Speaker 28: up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
41:05
Speaker 28: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
41:07
Speaker 28: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
41:09
Speaker 28: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
41:13
Speaker 28: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
41:15
Speaker 28: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
41:18
Speaker 28: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
41:21
Speaker 28: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
41:23
Speaker 28: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
41:26
Speaker 28: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
41:30
Speaker 28: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
41:33
Speaker 28: perform life saving work every day.
41:35
Speaker 2: Dogs keep us.
41:35
Speaker 28: Safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom
41:38
Speaker 28: suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when
41:41
Speaker 28: there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have
41:44
Speaker 28: a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society
41:47
Speaker 28: and help those in need. So please join me an

Speaker 22: Uh oh, bruh, that's buzzed.
42:01
Speaker 20: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
42:05
Speaker 23: And now a speech.
42:07
Speaker 4: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
42:11
Speaker 4: heart and brain.
42:12
Speaker 2: Who's with me?
42:13
Speaker 4: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
42:16
Speaker 4: brain is saying when it's time to go home.
42:18
Speaker 18: Somebody call me a ride.
42:20
Speaker 22: Love that guy, me too.
42:21
Speaker 8: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
42:24

Speaker 6: energy costs is when you shop for a new appliance.

43:08
Speaker 6: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
43:11

43:33
Speaker 5: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
43:36

Speaker 2: On your to do list.
44:13
Speaker 3: Putting the radio on is the first thing today.
44:39
Speaker 2: So the question and Matt made the statement, you know,
44:44
Speaker 2: the people on the right want the illegals because they
44:48
Speaker 2: want cheap labor. That's the that's the Chamber of commerce position.
44:53
Speaker 2: Remember these are the folks who pushed back on everify,
44:58
Speaker 2: which would have Joel was talking about earlier, either the
45:02
Speaker 2: I nines proof of citizenship e Verify would have taken
45:06
Speaker 2: that made it an easily searchable database of business owners
45:12
Speaker 2: and social security numbers, so that you could double check
45:16
Speaker 2: and cross reference to make sure somebody shows you my
45:20
Speaker 2: social security number. For example, my social security number was
45:24
Speaker 2: stolen gosh many years ago, and so long ago that
45:30
Speaker 2: it used to be hard to find a way to
45:32
Speaker 2: get tax preparation software that understood what a pin number was.
45:37
Speaker 2: Now they all have it already figured in, like, yeah,
45:39
Speaker 2: give us your extra pin number. And the pin numbers
45:41
Speaker 2: have grown two the irs. Pin numbers used to be
45:45
Speaker 2: four digits, now they're five. A lot of people having
45:48
Speaker 2: their social Security numbers stolen. I thought these weren't supposed
45:52
Speaker 2: to be ID cards anyway. I know that was one
45:55
Speaker 2: hundred years ago. When they said that, that's telling me
45:58
Speaker 2: so the idea of inexpensive labor. And this is one
46:08
Speaker 2: of the myriad of hypocrisies in this These are the
46:14
Speaker 2: same people who will march in the street for living wages,
46:19
Speaker 2: higher wages. Vote for me, and I'll raisee the state
46:23
Speaker 2: minimum wage to insert some larger number than it currently
46:28
Speaker 2: is Virginia. It's going to go up to fifteen to
46:33
Speaker 2: twenty dollars if legislation goes through and has passed and
46:38
Speaker 2: assigned California. Service industries are dying in California because of
46:49
Speaker 2: mandatory twenty dollars an hour wages and things like that.
46:55
Speaker 2: Then you've got the living wage zelots who want to
46:57
Speaker 2: make it, you know, some mathematical equation based on what
47:02
Speaker 2: it costs to live where you are, so you wouldn't
47:04
Speaker 2: even have a minimum wage in your city. You would
47:07
Speaker 2: have to then go to the city government, find out
47:11
Speaker 2: demographically what it costs to live in the city, and
47:15
Speaker 2: then base what you're paying your employees as a minimum
47:18
Speaker 2: on that. And then they suborn illegal immigration. So the
47:25
Speaker 2: things that they need done in their business that they
47:28
Speaker 2: don't want to pay a lot of money for, they
47:31
Speaker 2: don't value very highly can be done at less cost.
47:36
Speaker 2: That's it. I'm done here. That's it. That is the
47:41
Speaker 2: entire scenario. And it's because they don't if they're in
47:45
Speaker 2: a pressure packed situation, they can only charge so much
47:49
Speaker 2: for a hamburger and French fries, and the Marxists in
47:56
Speaker 2: the government, along with the Fabian Socialists as well, they
48:01
Speaker 2: don't care. They don't care that you can't charge this
48:04
Speaker 2: much for a hamburger because to them, you're the rich
48:07
Speaker 2: people that need to be protested against. Because the really
48:18
Speaker 2: wealthy people are already signed in on being part of
48:21
Speaker 2: the Pullet Bureau. We've assigned them party chairmanships and things
48:25
Speaker 2: like that. You, as the business owner, you're the wealthy,
48:30
Speaker 2: and we've told the poor where you live and where
48:33
Speaker 2: you work, and they're going to shut you down. Today
48:36
Speaker 2: supposedly there's going to be a nationwide protest. They're very
48:40
Speaker 2: quiet about it because the last time they've just pounded
48:43
Speaker 2: about a nationwide protest kind of went wah. But Indivisible
48:51
Speaker 2: is supposed to have this nationwide strike against ICE. Hey,
48:57
Speaker 2: before you start, could somebody tell me what immigration laws
49:02
Speaker 2: that ICE is enforcing that you don't like, that you
49:05
Speaker 2: would like changed. Huh, get here and all bets are off.
49:10
Speaker 2: If you can get here, you all you know you're good.
49:15
Speaker 2: And this is again to the point of this, it's
49:18
Speaker 2: not a new civil war, it's the same old one
49:21
Speaker 2: because the parties are the same. The issue is the
49:24
Speaker 2: same cheap labor under a permanent underclass that's going to
49:30
Speaker 2: do the manual labor that you know, the elites don't
49:33
Speaker 2: want to do. Used to be picking cotton and tobacco.
49:38
Speaker 2: Now it's washing dishes and cutting grass, looking after our children.
49:44
Speaker 2: According to the statement that one of Scott jennings opponents onse,
49:50
Speaker 2: and so they're rounding up Arbuelas. So you have somebody
49:55
Speaker 2: who's not a citizen watching your children, do you well,
49:58
Speaker 2: I can't afford to pay the citizen my point. My
50:04
Speaker 2: point is we've decided we want to virtue signal that
50:08
Speaker 2: we have high wages in this country, and then when
50:12
Speaker 2: it becomes apparent that we might actually have to pay
50:15
Speaker 2: those high wages for something, we don't want to do it.
50:21
Speaker 2: The problem isn't them as much as the problem is
50:24
Speaker 2: us politically speaking, because we're at this intersection of left
50:30
Speaker 2: wing policies that aren't based on anything more factual than
50:39
Speaker 2: I need to say this so I can get re elected.
50:43
Speaker 2: Abigail Spanberger, the new governor of Virginia doubling the income tax,
50:48
Speaker 2: never campaigned on that. I went through her stuff. I
50:51
Speaker 2: don't see anything in there and saying hey, you know,
50:54
Speaker 2: vote for me and I'm going to double your income
50:56
Speaker 2: tax probably would have cost her some votes.
51:04
Speaker 1: Oh.
51:04
Speaker 2: I received this email about an hour and a half ago.
51:07
Speaker 2: Where did I put it? It was about It was
51:11
Speaker 2: about the media and asking span Burger. Yeah, here it is,
51:18
Speaker 2: Marquise writes in Joe. I don't recall when some seers
51:22
Speaker 2: bringing this up at all, don't blame the media. Well,
51:26
Speaker 2: I mean, you know you can blame is all around
51:28
Speaker 2: it anyone say, And I don't expect Abigail Spanberger would
51:32
Speaker 2: have answered the question directly anyway. Are you planning on
51:37
Speaker 2: raising taxes? Congressoman span Burger? We need to make Virginia
51:42
Speaker 2: more affordable. It's all about pivot and all this stuff.
51:47
Speaker 2: And you know we were saying, you know, you vote
51:49
Speaker 2: for left wingers, they're going to raise your taxes because
51:51
Speaker 2: they're insatiably hungry for more money to give to other
51:55
Speaker 2: people that they have made it more unaffordable to live
51:59
Speaker 2: around not even discount the devalued US dollar. What's it
52:07
Speaker 2: worth to you? If you're making a product or providing
52:12
Speaker 2: a service and the people who would engage in your
52:17
Speaker 2: service can't afford it for what you're charging for it,
52:20
Speaker 2: you have to lower that cost or go out of business.
52:30
Speaker 2: But if the government artificially says you have to pay
52:34
Speaker 2: somebody who's washing dishes for you this much money, and
52:37
Speaker 2: you're like, but that doesn't add that much value to
52:40
Speaker 2: the product I'm making. Sucks to be you. And that's
52:45
Speaker 2: what's driving this from a business standpoint anyway.
52:51
