Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: Talk radio, just the way your mother used to make
- 0:05Speaker 1: his first thing. Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk
- 0:09Speaker 1: Media Network.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Jewort said, steal me step here every day, at least
- 0:15Speaker 2: for work.
- 0:16Speaker 1: When the sun comes up.
- 0:17Speaker 3: Drops a pet of the scoom in the way. Joe
- 0:21Speaker 3: has everything a dream do, all the treasure set and
- 0:24Speaker 3: needs no one that Joe's as smile he only eggsp.
- 0:32Speaker 4: Never be your Joe.
- 0:37Speaker 5: I want to be thank you for letting us be
- 0:40Speaker 5: of service to you this morning. She gather together and
- 0:44Speaker 5: say hold of another? Wherein where march is started? Already?
- 0:48Speaker 5: What happened last time I turned around? We were still
- 0:51Speaker 5: we still had plenty of February left, darn it, and
- 0:56Speaker 5: the weekend is nigh. But we have plenty to get
- 0:59Speaker 5: into this morning. The filibuster, it's on the table. Ken
- 1:04Speaker 5: Paxton says, I'll bail on my Senate race if the
- 1:09Speaker 5: Senate gets rid of the filibuster and passes the Save
- 1:14Speaker 5: America Act. That's the one where you need to show
- 1:18Speaker 5: proof of citizenship to get onto the voter rolls, identifying
- 1:24Speaker 5: a huge exploit that the Marxists have left in our
- 1:29Speaker 5: voting policies across most states in the Union.
- 1:34Speaker 6: Is that a good deal.
- 1:39Speaker 5: The Senate couldn't even get its head out of its
- 1:42Speaker 5: backside to bring back the speaking filibuster right now, all
- 1:48Speaker 5: you have to say is yeah, filibuster and go back home.
- 1:51Speaker 5: You don't have to do anything. And this is part
- 1:54Speaker 5: of the packs pox on both of their houses that
- 1:59Speaker 5: the politicians seem to get. They don't do. They just say, yeah,
- 2:03Speaker 5: we're calling filibuster and they walk away. That's not doing something,
- 2:09Speaker 5: that's just using parliamentary procedure which the Democrats use much better, do,
- 2:17Speaker 5: much more eloquently than Republicans ever do. And that's the
- 2:21Speaker 5: consternation of many Conservatives like you and me and anyone
- 2:26Speaker 5: else who wants to weigh in on Ken Paxton's pack
- 2:32Speaker 5: to get out of the race, called John Cornyn a
- 2:35Speaker 5: coward over it. That's just one of the many, many
- 2:39Speaker 5: things we face on this Friday morning. Certainly, your travails,
- 2:44Speaker 5: unless you have a son or daughter in the deep
- 2:47Speaker 5: Kimshi in the Middle East, are nothing compared to the
- 2:51Speaker 5: problems people in Tehran and Isapha and other cities in
- 2:56Speaker 5: Iran are facing this morning. But that's again not of
- 3:00Speaker 5: our doing theirs, and we can discuss further as we
- 3:05Speaker 5: get into a Friday morning, but let's run down our
- 3:08Speaker 5: first things. Rising oil prices tied to the conflict in
- 3:15Speaker 5: Iran have prompted the Department of Treasury to prepare measures
- 3:19Speaker 5: aimed at easing pressure on US energy costs. Price increases
- 3:24Speaker 5: come as Iran continues to restrict travel through the Strait
- 3:29Speaker 5: of Hormuz, where twenty percent of the world's oil supply passes.
- 3:35Speaker 5: United States and Venezuela have agreed to re establish diplomatic relations,
- 3:41Speaker 5: State Department said Thursday. The move comes after rounds of
- 3:45Speaker 5: Administration officials visiting the South American nation following the US
- 3:50Speaker 5: military operation that deposed President Nicholas Maduro. Some two dozen
- 3:57Speaker 5: states have challenged President Trump's global trifs Thursday, filing a
- 4:01Speaker 5: lawsuit over import taxes he imposed after the Supreme Court
- 4:06Speaker 5: ruled against them. The lawsuit is led by the attorneys
- 4:10Speaker 5: general of Oregon, Arizona, California, and New York. Also joining
- 4:15Speaker 5: in are the attorney's general of Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada,
- 4:25Speaker 5: New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin,
- 4:33Speaker 5: and the governors of Kentucky and Pennsylvania. Senate Democrats blocked
- 4:39Speaker 5: a Republican back bill to fund the Department of Homeland
- 4:42Speaker 5: Security through the end of fiscal twenty twenty six, extending
- 4:47Speaker 5: the agency shutdown into a fourth week. The measure passed
- 4:51Speaker 5: fifty one forty five, but was short of the sixty
- 4:55Speaker 5: votes required to advance because of the non talk fucking Philipbuster.
- 5:01Speaker 5: The only Democrat to vote with the Republicans on the
- 5:04Speaker 5: bill was John Fetterman Speaker Mike Johnson says the Department
- 5:11Speaker 5: of Homeland Security will be well served if Mark Wayne
- 5:14Speaker 5: Mullen takes over at DHF. This comes after Christy nom
- 5:19Speaker 5: was reassigned to an unspecified Western Hemisphere security initiative. According
- 5:25Speaker 5: to President Trump, US stocks closed down Thursday as the
- 5:30Speaker 5: Middle East conflict enter his day six. Oil prices pushed
- 5:34Speaker 5: higher to eighty one since Barrel, and in less than
- 5:41Speaker 5: a week, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has gone from
- 5:44Speaker 5: supporting US actions against Iran to raising the issue that
- 5:48Speaker 5: the US and Israel acted without engaging the United Nations
- 5:52Speaker 5: or consulting with allies. And those are some of our
- 5:55Speaker 5: first things for this Friday morning yesterday a great visit
- 6:01Speaker 5: with Valerie Durham. She is the president and CEO of
- 6:05Speaker 5: Freedom Fest. We're getting on our way to a couple

- 7:10Speaker 2: joining meta share can save you or your family up
- 7:13Speaker 2: to five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge, but.

- 7:18Speaker 2: They love being part of something that reflects and promotes their.
- 7:21Speaker 7: Values and what they believe in.

- 8:04Speaker 8: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 8: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 8: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 8: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 8: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 8: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31Speaker 8: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:36Speaker 8: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42Speaker 8: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46Speaker 8: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51Speaker 8: healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

- 9:58Speaker 10: Hi everybody, I'm Jack Hannah. It's always a boy growing
- 10:01Speaker 10: up on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 10: I'm not only in alle of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 10: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:08Speaker 10: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 10: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 10:15Speaker 10: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 10:17Speaker 10: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21Speaker 10: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 10:23Speaker 10: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 10:25Speaker 10: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 10:29Speaker 10: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 10:32Speaker 10: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
- 10:35Speaker 10: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
- 10:38Speaker 10: from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
- 10:41Speaker 10: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
- 10:44Speaker 10: variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
- 10:46Speaker 10: help those in need. So please join me an American

- 13:17Speaker 1: The first thing today on the Talk Media Network by
- 13:21Speaker 1: Joe Thomas, the second most famous Thomas in Charlotte's Mille.
- 13:35Speaker 5: So using procedure is one of these things that the
- 13:41Speaker 5: American Left has become very good at capturing the establishment
- 13:46Speaker 5: and growing procedure, growing policy so that they can do
- 13:56Speaker 5: things that are unconstitutional. They have no institutional right to
- 14:01Speaker 5: do some of the things they do, but they have policy,
- 14:05Speaker 5: and they use policy, and they use policy like a weapon.
- 14:10Speaker 5: For example, there's no constitutional right to restrict somebody's gun ownership.
- 14:17Speaker 5: But if we create a scenario where it becomes very
- 14:21Speaker 5: hard to sell firearms, well we've ostensibly banned guns. Then
- 14:27Speaker 5: this is how their mind thinks, because they can't and
- 14:33Speaker 5: they know they won't get rid of the Bill of
- 14:36Speaker 5: Rights yet until they've established such a calcification around it
- 14:45Speaker 5: that you don't even notice it anymore. Keep enough people
- 14:50Speaker 5: from buying firearms, and then you can say, do you
- 14:53Speaker 5: really need the Second Amendment? Yeah, it's come on, nobody
- 14:56Speaker 5: uses that anymore. We can get rid of it and
- 15:00Speaker 5: it becomes popular, or at least popularly accepted. I bring
- 15:08Speaker 5: this up because there's another story, and you've got to
- 15:11Speaker 5: watch for this on your college campuses. All across America,
- 15:18Speaker 5: a virus has been created. Some viral legislation has been
- 15:26Speaker 5: created in the lab of government through gain of function research,
- 15:34Speaker 5: just like our friends in the Wuhan Institute of Virology,
- 15:38Speaker 5: a viral piece of governance has been started to quel
- 15:43Speaker 5: conservatism on campus, and I want you to watch for
- 15:49Speaker 5: this on your campuses, not just college but high school
- 15:52Speaker 5: as well. Schools have been informed by their ernies that
- 16:02Speaker 5: they can't ban groups like Turning Point USA from existing,
- 16:07Speaker 5: but they can do things like restrict their fundraising. For example,
- 16:18Speaker 5: in Charlottesville, where the home of Thomas Jefferson, the author
- 16:23Speaker 5: of the Declaration of Independence, is school has determined that
- 16:30Speaker 5: their new policy will be that all clubs and so
- 16:34Speaker 5: what they do, they will sacrifice their own to get
- 16:37Speaker 5: the nasty conservatives out of their hair. They'll come back
- 16:42Speaker 5: later with new ways to run the gay glee club
- 16:48Speaker 5: or whatever. And I'm saying glee clubs or I'm just
- 16:52Speaker 5: saying that if they have an LGBTQ club, they'll find
- 16:56Speaker 5: a way to turn it into a class and then
- 16:58Speaker 5: it's not for both. But follow this and watch for this,
- 17:03Speaker 5: because this is like COVID nineteen gain of function virus
- 17:08Speaker 5: that's going to get to all the schools. They've determined
- 17:14Speaker 5: that they have the legal authority to tell these clubs
- 17:22Speaker 5: that all money is raised by the clubs for the
- 17:25Speaker 5: operation of the clubs has to be held by the school,
- 17:29Speaker 5: by the school division that in order to be chartered
- 17:35Speaker 5: as a club in the school. They have to establish
- 17:38Speaker 5: through the school an account that any money, any money
- 17:42Speaker 5: used by the club for anything, any money given to
- 17:46Speaker 5: the club will have to be given to the school,
- 17:49Speaker 5: and then the school will determine whether or not something
- 17:53Speaker 5: they want to do with the money is appropriate. Is
- 17:59Speaker 5: the same thing they did. Remember, our friends at fire
- 18:02Speaker 5: dot org got started when these free speech zones were
- 18:09Speaker 5: created on college campuses in Texas and California, only to
- 18:15Speaker 5: be discovered to be anything but free speech. Oh, you
- 18:19Speaker 5: can say whatever you want after the board has approved
- 18:23Speaker 5: your speech, after you clear with us what it is
- 18:29Speaker 5: that you're going to say, and if you vary from it,
- 18:32Speaker 5: we will have the gendarmerie to take you away. So
- 18:41Speaker 5: they used what they laughably called free speech zones to
- 18:46Speaker 5: stop free speech. They're using these club or too. It's
- 18:51Speaker 5: to protect the children, don't you understand, Joe, from manipulation.
- 19:02Speaker 5: So this is a shadow band, just like the laws
- 19:06Speaker 5: that allow you to sue gun sellers. And this is
- 19:14Speaker 5: what they do. This is how they do it. They
- 19:16Speaker 5: don't have the constitutional authority. I can't tell you in
- 19:19Speaker 5: twenty years of doing this, how many times have been
- 19:22Speaker 5: called by people saying what gives them the right. It's
- 19:30Speaker 5: not a right, it's a procedure. They've captured the procedures
- 19:37Speaker 5: and they're using the process as the punishment. Hard on
- 19:44Speaker 5: the heels of this new found virus that's going to
- 19:49Speaker 5: infect America's schools. Oh, we're going to protect the children
- 19:53Speaker 5: from manipulation by keeping the money ourselves and only allowing
- 19:57Speaker 5: them to use it for good purposes. Why Erica Kirk
- 20:02Speaker 5: herself was supposed to be coming, and they said, you
- 20:05Speaker 5: know what, we're also going to write a policy that
- 20:07Speaker 5: says these clubs can only host guests that have something
- 20:11Speaker 5: to do with curriculum. Again, you could shrug and say, well,
- 20:16Speaker 5: I guess is that going to count when Ibram X
- 20:19Speaker 5: Kendy wants to come and tell everyone that the white
- 20:22Speaker 5: kids are racist just because they're white. What they'll do
- 20:28Speaker 5: there is they'll establish a class six months before Ibram
- 20:33Speaker 5: X Kendy wants to come to your local high school.
- 20:36Speaker 5: They'll start a class on white supremacy in America, and
- 20:42Speaker 5: then he'll come and he'll be a special guest speaker
- 20:45Speaker 5: for that class. They won't start a class in the
- 20:49Speaker 5: American exceptionalism. They won't start a class on America two
- 20:53Speaker 5: point fifty. They won't start a class on the Bill
- 20:55Speaker 5: of Rights that Erica Kirk could be invited to speak to.
- 20:59Speaker 6: No. Oo.
- 21:03Speaker 5: They make the process the punishment. So every time somebody says,
- 21:07Speaker 5: but Joe, it's the school board, you have to you
- 21:11Speaker 5: have to have to have to run for these school boards.
- 21:14Speaker 5: It's just like we were talking about yesterday with the
- 21:19Speaker 5: folks from City Elders. I mean, will I truly believe
- 21:24Speaker 5: that if you want to see a conservative get elected
- 21:27Speaker 5: to an office in Portland, Oregon, ask start a city
- 21:31Speaker 5: elders chapter. Start a city elders chapter in Portland, Oregon,
- 21:36Speaker 5: and you'll have a conservative on city council within a
- 21:39Speaker 5: few years. You might even elect a Republican governor, just
- 21:48Speaker 5: saying that they use the procedure because they don't have
- 21:52Speaker 5: the Constitution on their side. But we've allowed them to
- 21:56Speaker 5: capture the administration and that's the problem them.
- 22:01Speaker 17: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National League Training for Planet Fitness,
- 22:05Speaker 17: and the American Heart Association recommends that we all get

- 22:11Speaker 17: activity in a week's time. But here's the thing that
- 22:13Speaker 17: one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to be
- 22:16Speaker 17: super intense.
- 22:16Speaker 6: As a matter of.
- 22:17Speaker 17: Fact, it could just be you moving your body and
- 22:19Speaker 17: doing what you already love to do, like exercise. And
- 22:22Speaker 17: a stronger heart doesn't just mean cardio, right, it means

- 22:56Speaker 18: For decades, America's offshore oil industry has relied on Portfouschaw
- 23:00Speaker 18: in Louisiana, But now as Win Energy continues to grow,
- 23:04Speaker 18: many of these vessels, these companies, these people are building
- 23:08Speaker 18: and servicing the offshore wind industry, moving equipment, installing turbines,

- 28:13Speaker 1: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
- 28:18Speaker 1: the second most famous Thomas in Charlottesville.
- 28:30Speaker 5: Yeah, we're all pre wired with these kind of corruptions.
- 28:33Speaker 5: We all want our way, and that's the problem with
- 28:38Speaker 5: what's become of America as corrupt men and women take
- 28:47Speaker 5: you know, a position and then change procedure. So let's
- 28:50Speaker 5: go back to Ken Paxton. Now, did we did that
- 28:53Speaker 5: spot on how the left uses procedure to to shadow
- 29:03Speaker 5: band to shadow eliminate things that they have no constitutional
- 29:08Speaker 5: right to eliminate. And we can discuss maybe you think
- 29:11Speaker 5: it's appropriate that's Oh, their high school kids, Joe, they
- 29:14Speaker 5: could be corrupted. Shouldn't let them have money for a club.
- 29:20Speaker 5: I'll bet you if if the local election club got
- 29:26Speaker 5: five hundred thousand dollars from Eric Holder, they'd look the
- 29:29Speaker 5: other way. That's not corrupting. Getting money from Turney Point
- 29:34Speaker 5: USA supporters, that's corrupting because it's not part of the dogma.
- 29:40Speaker 5: So let's go back to Ken Paxton's deal. Ken Paxton
- 29:44Speaker 5: says he'll drop out of the scheduled runoff race against
- 29:50Speaker 5: John Cornyan, who he called a coward in a tweet yesterday,
- 29:57Speaker 5: if the Senate eliminates the filibuster. So I think it's
- 30:01Speaker 5: important to let's go back to see why there is
- 30:04Speaker 5: the filibuster, because it has been used by both sides.
- 30:11Speaker 5: There are procedural steps within it that I think need
- 30:16Speaker 5: to come back. I think, you know, at this point,
- 30:19Speaker 5: rather than eliminate the thing, especially in the America two
- 30:29Speaker 5: point zero era of elected senators, it might be important
- 30:40Speaker 5: to hold on to it just for the time being,
- 30:44Speaker 5: as we you know, wean ourselves from it. But make
- 30:49Speaker 5: people actually have to stand and hold the floor. Don't
- 30:54Speaker 5: have a problem with that. I have a problem with
- 30:57Speaker 5: somebody just saying, yeah, we call Philip okay, then stand
- 31:02Speaker 5: to do something. No, we don't have to, and I
- 31:04Speaker 5: don't have to anymore. There's some of Harry Reids shenanigans.
- 31:09Speaker 5: But let's go back to you know where it comes from.
- 31:16Speaker 5: Debate in the Senate used to only end on only
- 31:20Speaker 5: need unanimous, only need a simple majority to end debate.
- 31:24Speaker 5: Under the Constitution, you just had to get more senators
- 31:28Speaker 5: against it than for it. So if something was being debated,
- 31:33Speaker 5: say the Save America Act, eventually the Senate leadership would
- 31:41Speaker 5: say we need to vote, and then that vote could
- 31:51Speaker 5: be called by a simple majority. You didn't have to
- 31:54Speaker 5: get cloture. Aaron Burr is the one who eliminated that.
- 32:02Speaker 5: But in that elimination then debate could only be ended
- 32:06Speaker 5: by unanimous consent. The word filibuster is actually Dutch for pirate,
- 32:15Speaker 5: or it's derived from the Dutch word for pirate, meaning
- 32:18Speaker 5: I've boarded your ship. Prepare for my grabbing of your booty.
- 32:26Speaker 5: President Wilson, it should surprise no one is the one
- 32:29Speaker 5: who really pushed for the use of the filibuster to
- 32:33Speaker 5: block things that were restricting his authoritarian, technocratic takeover of
- 32:39Speaker 5: the establishment. And then after the end of the Civil War,
- 32:46Speaker 5: it became almost entirely the purview of Southern senators to
- 32:56Speaker 5: block civil rights legislation while there Dixiecrat compatriots in the House,
- 33:08Speaker 5: froze the size of the House of Representatives so we
- 33:11Speaker 5: could split up black communities because now we couldn't grow
- 33:15Speaker 5: congressional districts anymore. So those two things. The cloture rule
- 33:26Speaker 5: was only instituted in nineteen seventy five, and since then
- 33:41Speaker 5: it's gone from a speaking filibuster. And so you know,
- 33:44Speaker 5: mister Smith and all that, it existed long before cloture
- 33:48Speaker 5: did or anything else. Filibuster only ended if you ended it.
- 33:54Speaker 5: You had to get unanimous consent. So I don't have
- 34:05Speaker 5: a problem with eliminating the filibuster per se under Paxton's
- 34:11Speaker 5: deal because it's not in the Constitution. But if we're
- 34:18Speaker 5: going to go back to the way the Senate operates
- 34:21Speaker 5: under the Constitution, we also need to go back to
- 34:24Speaker 5: the states selecting their senators and sending them to Washington
- 34:30Speaker 5: to represent the states rather than these super legislators. So
- 34:38Speaker 5: I'm okay with Paxton's idea. I would take it up
- 34:42Speaker 5: a notch and say, let's go back to originalism. What
- 34:47Speaker 5: was the original intent of the US Senate to take
- 34:52Speaker 5: the passions of the House, which was going to expectedly
- 34:56Speaker 5: be more volatile then the Senate, which was interested in
- 35:05Speaker 5: states rights, I guess the right word for it. So
- 35:13Speaker 5: since the senators were not going to have to worry
- 35:18Speaker 5: about getting re elected, they could they could take an
- 35:21Speaker 5: unpopular stand on something, even if the passions of the
- 35:28Speaker 5: electorate had been ginned up through editorials and newspaper or
- 35:36Speaker 5: rhetoric from a radio show host. That was okay. It
- 35:40Speaker 5: was meant to keep the country from lurching left and
- 35:44Speaker 5: right and left and right as the whims of the
- 35:48Speaker 5: world could dictate. And you might say, well, that doesn't
- 35:51Speaker 5: sound good, Joe. Look at how people can be fooled
- 35:57Speaker 5: through just the inundation of the media, and it's because
- 36:02Speaker 5: they're busy. It's understanding that the electorate that gives the
- 36:07Speaker 5: government its constitutional power isn't paying attention every minute of
- 36:12Speaker 5: every day. It's not even reasonable to ask such a thing.
- 36:19Speaker 5: But if we're basing it on democratic principles, then you say, well,
- 36:24Speaker 5: an informed electorate. This was Jefferson's point, as an educated
- 36:28Speaker 5: population will defend democracy. The Marxist realized that if we
- 36:34Speaker 5: could hide in doctrination in and amongst the education, politics
- 36:43Speaker 5: is downstream from culture, right, and schools fall unto the
- 36:46Speaker 5: banner of culture. So therefore we take over the schools.
- 36:51Speaker 5: We can show Chairman now a thing or two about
- 36:54Speaker 5: a march through the establishment one hundred years bah, we
- 36:58Speaker 5: could do this at one hundred days. And that's what's
- 37:04Speaker 5: been going on. That's what's happening with this. So Packson's right,
- 37:11Speaker 5: there's nothing in the constitution that says there has to
- 37:15Speaker 5: be cloture. But let's not take out one bad bit
- 37:24Speaker 5: of the way the Senate operates and leave more. Just
- 37:28Speaker 5: like Aaron Burr one hundred and ten odd years ago,
- 37:33Speaker 5: one hundred and twenty odd years ago. What, Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah,
- 37:38Speaker 5: two hundred and twenty odd years ago, Aaron Burr took
- 37:41Speaker 5: out just a little proviso and it made it one
- 37:44Speaker 5: hundred times worse. Let's not make that mistake. The issues
- 37:52Speaker 5: in the Senate are not just the filibuster John Cornyn
- 37:58Speaker 5: might actually be one of those problems.

- 45:07Speaker 5: just say President Trump cured cancer. The headline in the
- 45:12Speaker 5: press would be millions of cancer researchers out of work
- 45:17Speaker 5: because of President Trump. Just the way it is, anything
- 45:21Speaker 5: but Trump. So everyone in the anything but Trump Trump
- 45:25Speaker 5: derangement syndrome population. It's like he hasn't given us a
- 45:29Speaker 5: good reason. Why are we here? We have not And
- 45:32Speaker 5: their hero, their lord high mugwump is Mark Warner the
- 45:39Speaker 5: embodiment of Senate Intelligence or something like that that I
- 45:43Speaker 5: forget how he says it, but every time he says it,
- 45:45Speaker 5: I hear he's the embodiment of Senate Intelligence. And yet
- 45:52Speaker 5: when you ask them why you want to teach kids
- 45:55Speaker 5: that white kids are racist just because they're white, they
- 46:01Speaker 5: won't answer. They don't want to answer why. When you
- 46:04Speaker 5: ask them why they believe taking everybody's money and putting
- 46:08Speaker 5: it into a government kitty and then handing it out
- 46:11Speaker 5: as you see fit is good, they won't answer that.
- 46:14Speaker 5: But they all want to know why Donald Trump helped
- 46:17Speaker 5: the Israelis bomb the snot out of Tehran and the
- 46:22Speaker 5: and by the way, I've seen some pictures of Tehran
- 46:27Speaker 5: that don't look like a single bombs going off anywhere

- 46:34Speaker 5: what we want to hit. I mean, I've seen some
- 46:36Speaker 5: of the craters we've hit some some impressive stuff. But
- 46:40Speaker 5: I don't think we're just carpet bombing the place, as
- 46:43Speaker 5: one news network says. We've been doing Doctor Clark on
- 46:48Speaker 5: the line with us at four three four eight eight
- 46:50Speaker 5: two four two one seven. Apologies if you all.
- 46:55Speaker 6: Know.
- 46:55Speaker 5: There apparently had been some hang up with the phone
- 46:58Speaker 5: system that needed a boot in the ass and or rebooting.
- 47:02Speaker 5: I'm sorry I was confused the two Doctor Clark. What's
- 47:05Speaker 5: on your mind, sir?
- 47:08Speaker 24: Well, before we get to what I was calling about,
- 47:11Speaker 24: let's just go with Donald Trump and who he is
- 47:14Speaker 24: according to the left. You remember the ferryman in the
- 47:19Speaker 24: Josie Wales talking about to the carpetbacker, you had to
- 47:24Speaker 24: be able to whistle Dixie or sing the Battle Hymn
- 47:27Speaker 24: of the Republic with equal enthusiasm.
- 47:29Speaker 6: Right, Okay, So let's see.
- 47:34Speaker 25: According to the left, Donald Trump is hitler, Donald Trump
- 47:41Speaker 25: is Putin's puppet, Donald Trump.
- 47:45Speaker 6: I guess he's a longer right now right, and.
- 47:48Speaker 24: Because of the Epstein's files he's a pedophile.
- 47:51Speaker 5: Well, don't forget alternately, don't forget alternately, doctor Clark. He
- 47:56Speaker 5: is either an idiot or a master Machiavellian manipulator.
- 48:02Speaker 24: Now there's these people on the left, the rank and
- 48:08Speaker 24: file left. This remind me of the Ferryman and now
- 48:12Speaker 24: alogc Wales because whatever the AzaC prop tells him Donald
- 48:17Speaker 24: Trump is today they can whistle or sing with equal
- 48:22Speaker 24: enthusiasm with whatever it was yesterday. He just fascinates me
- 48:28Speaker 24: how who he is changes with them from day to day.
- 48:31Speaker 6: Now, couple things. Second Amendment, mm hmm, let's.
- 48:37Speaker 24: See how's that go again. The security of a free
- 48:40Speaker 24: state is what it's all about, right, the well regulated
- 48:46Speaker 24: militia being necessary to the security of a free state.
- 48:48Speaker 24: The right of people to keep barons shall not be infringed.
- 48:53Speaker 24: Yep I heard that if you don't talk with the
- 48:56Speaker 24: law that says you take the people's guns away, but
- 48:58Speaker 24: you make it harder to get That kind of sounds
- 49:01Speaker 24: like infringement to me, Joe.
- 49:03Speaker 5: Does it? I mean, you know, infringed infringement is in
- 49:06Speaker 5: the eye of the beholder. We're just we're caring for people,
- 49:11Speaker 5: don't you understand, doctor Clark.
- 49:13Speaker 24: Yeah, let's get to the eye of the beholder. As
- 49:17Speaker 24: far as I hate to be telling the pinko comedies
- 49:21Speaker 24: that have taken over your state how to do their thing.
- 49:25Speaker 24: They're working way too hard, Joe.
- 49:29Speaker 6: How do you way too hard being creative with.
- 49:33Speaker 24: Like they're trying to do legislation that will cause permanent
- 49:36Speaker 24: gun bands and things.
- 49:38Speaker 5: Well, shadow bands. They they know they can't ban the.
- 49:41Speaker 6: Gun any kind of band. It's all unnecessary. All they
- 49:45Speaker 6: have to do.
- 49:48Speaker 24: Is temporarily suspendable rights in the state of Virginia until
- 49:52Speaker 24: there's no longer a free state.
- 49:54Speaker 5: That's right, whatever they want, that's that's what you know.
- 49:57Speaker 5: Voting here in Virginia begins today on whether or not,
- 50:00Speaker 5: you know, depending on the issue, we can temporarily suspend
- 50:03Speaker 5: the Virginia Constitution. It's an amazing time. You know, who
- 50:08Speaker 5: knew we could be so creative as to have a
- 50:11Speaker 5: hard fast governing body. And then if you know, twenty
- 50:15Speaker 5: six percent of us turn out to vote against the constance,
- 50:18Speaker 5: we can suspend it. I mean, to be fair, it's
- 50:21Speaker 5: better than the suspension of the constitution we had under
- 50:24Speaker 5: COVID where it was you know, whoever was behind the
- 50:27Speaker 5: podium and the governor's mansion. But it's still not good.
- 50:33Speaker 24: Well, here's the thing about sluts, Joe, they're all slippery. Okay, yeah, yep,
- 50:40Speaker 24: so I was putting it wasn't slippery. And uh, you
- 50:45Speaker 24: just go to temporarily suspend the constitution for one thing,
- 50:49Speaker 24: And what's the next thing you're going to temporarily suspend
- 50:51Speaker 24: it for?
- 50:52Speaker 6: And what'll be the thing after that?
- 50:54Speaker 5: Habeas corpus? Maybe I guess why don't we ask the
- 50:59Speaker 5: Romans how that went? Remember remember Caesar used a little
- 51:03Speaker 5: arcane bit of Roman law to seize power under what
- 51:08Speaker 5: he claimed was an existential threat to the city state.
- 51:13Speaker 5: And the Senate said, okay, he kind of got us
- 51:15Speaker 5: on this. He's read the law. We didn't read the law.
- 51:18Speaker 5: But he's found a he found a little proviso in
- 51:20Speaker 5: the law that said if there was a threat to Rome,
- 51:23Speaker 5: he could take supreme dictatorial powers. And he never gave
- 51:28Speaker 5: it up. They had to kill him, and and then
- 51:31Speaker 5: guess what happened. The guy who came in after him said,
- 51:35Speaker 5: I kind of like this, and and for what was it?
- 51:38Speaker 5: Four hundred years after that, after Caesar took dictatorial powers
- 51:43Speaker 5: in Rome. It was before anyone saw liberty again.
- 51:49Speaker 24: It was just a temporary four hundred years.
- 51:53Speaker 5: It's how we defined temporary, Okay, I think, because like
- 51:59Speaker 5: we're a few thousand years later and I didn't last
- 52:02Speaker 5: that long compared to now. That's that's true. Rome's free
- 52:05Speaker 5: now ish free ish, It's it's Marxist, but it's it
- 52:10Speaker 5: doesn't have an emperor.
- 52:11Speaker 6: Now.
- 52:13Speaker 24: Well, if there's an existential threat, I can do whatever
- 52:16Speaker 24: I want and I get to be the arbiter of
- 52:20Speaker 24: existential threats. Hmm. Sounds a lot like what you got
- 52:23Speaker 24: going on with the schools and the virus is the name?
- 52:26Speaker 5: Yeah, oh absolutely, and we'll just shadow ban. You will
- 52:29Speaker 5: take your money, and we'll decide whether or not you
- 52:32Speaker 5: get any of it back. That sounds like the tax
- 52:34Speaker 5: code to me as well. You have a great weekend,
- 52:36Speaker 5: doctor Clark. Maybe I'll talk to you Saturday. But thanks
- 52:39Speaker 5: for the call. Take care four three four eight eight
