  Speaker 1: of those things that, yeah, sure, technically news. But here

  Speaker 1: let us begin with our first things. Saudi Arabia could

  Speaker 1: have a nuclear enrichment facility in a partnership with the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: United States as part of the rank ratcheting up of
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the nuclear standoff between the United States and Iran. Arguments
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: in favor say that Iran's nuclear program is just a
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: client state of Russia's nuclear program. President Trump was in Rome, Georgia,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: visiting a steel plant and told the crowd there that
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: his tariffs and his America First trade policies. Quote, without tariffs,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: what would you do? You know what? Every one would
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: be bankrupt. President Trump also announced yesterday the Board of
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Peace has two more billion dollars. And now you're starting
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: to talk about real money, as nine members of the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: body have pledged seven billion dollars towards a Gaza rebuilding package.
• 4:17

  Speaker 1: Radio at gmail dot com. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar was speaking
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: in Golden Valley, Minnesota to what she thought were just supporters.

  Speaker 1: Apparently there was a reporter from Breitbart there and she
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: told the crowd she wants to get rid of the
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: entire Department of Homeland Security. There is an easier conversation
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: happening today than six seven years ago when I got
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: to Congress about what we need to do with ice,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: which is to abolish it. New Mexico's Attorney general has

  Speaker 4: Hi.

• 6:09
  Speaker 7: Fame Lunch fail to our team, it symbolized teamwork. The

  Speaker 8: people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
• 7:07
  Speaker 8: to look into, and that's meta share. Maybe you've heard
• 7:10
  Speaker 8: joining metashare can save you or your family up to
• 7:13
  Speaker 8: five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge, but it's

  Speaker 8: being part of something that reflects and promotes their.
• 7:21
  Speaker 9: Values and what they believe in.

  Speaker 10: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market.
• 8:12
  Speaker 10: I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
• 8:18
  Speaker 10: our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to
• 8:22
  Speaker 10: any nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing
• 8:26
  Speaker 10: or reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  Speaker 10: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 10: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 10: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51

  Speaker 12: Hi, everybody, I'm Jackhannah and it's always a boy. Growing
• 10:01
  Speaker 12: up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with
• 10:03
  Speaker 12: animals I'm not only in alle of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 12: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:08
  Speaker 12: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 12: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
• 10:15
  Speaker 12: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
• 10:17
  Speaker 12: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
• 10:21
  Speaker 12: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
• 10:23
  Speaker 12: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 10:25
  Speaker 12: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29
  Speaker 12: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 10:32
  Speaker 12: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
• 10:35
  Speaker 12: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
• 10:38
  Speaker 12: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
• 10:41
  Speaker 12: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
• 10:44
  Speaker 12: variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
• 10:46
  Speaker 12: help those in need. So please join me an American

  Speaker 8: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:05
  Speaker 14: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 15: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
• 11:10
  Speaker 15: art and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Who's with me?

  Speaker 13: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
• 11:15
  Speaker 13: brain is saying when it's time to go home. Somebody
• 11:18

  Speaker 19: The sound.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: From the home of the First Amendment, First thing today
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: for a wildlight of big secret. People are smart, they
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: can handle it.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: The person is smart.
• 13:20
  Speaker 19: People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals, and you know it.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: So you know we're in trouble. If you see Will
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Smith on Truth Social all of a sudden, it's not
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: near July fourth, it's not Independence Day weekend? Is it's
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: not any big holidays coming up that we have blockbuster
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: movie releases. There's two things you could guarantee about movies.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Back in the day. If it was a big blockbuster,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: it was going to star Will Smith, and if it
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: needed a say track, it was going to have Kenny
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Longin's on it. Those are the things that we could
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: hold on to, that we could believe in, right, So
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I entertained this story because we were derisive at the
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: onset of the program. And I want to acknowledge that
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I received an email during the break Mike, who seems
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: to take umbrage with our characterization of these two all
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: consuming stories, the suspect formerly known as Prince and the
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: UFOs and Presidents Trump and Obama dueling over well, of
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: course I don't have any evidence, but of course I
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: believe it. And President Trump saying he's going to release
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: everything we have right after he's finished releasing all of
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: the Epstein documents. Mike's point in his email, and I
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: have to give him some credit to this, Joe, You,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: of all people I like when emails begin, you, of
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: all people, it's second only to I expected better from you.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: That's that's usually a good one. But you got to
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: get in line. My mom and dad used to use
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: that a lot, and did a lot of my teachers.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure why you expect better from me. If
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: you've spent any amount of time with me, you should
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: probably expect what you expect. And you can disagree, and
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: that's fine. As Mike does. The story of these UFO
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: cover ups is big because it ties to the Epstein
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: cover ups and all the other cover ups in American history.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: I believe you are the one I've heard say most
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: frequently in broadcast form that the cover up is always
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: worse than the crime. Why be glib about disclosure? Well,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: part of it is because if you expect the files.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: What was it Project blue Book? Now, I sound like
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Judd Hirsch in Independence Day? What was the you knew forever?
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: You knew about the Rosswell, it was Project blue Book
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: twenty years ago, and Clinton was going to do it,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I mean disclose. I mean he did other things, but disclose.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: And yes, Mike, you are correct that these stories do
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: revolve around government cover ups, especially Epstein. I think more
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: heinous because I don't believe unless you know, the cow
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: mutilations are as righteous as I mean, if the aliens
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: are coming down sexually abusing underage cows, then without question.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: But the thing about these disclosures is what do we
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: do with the information, what is what is the implication?
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: And just as a backgrounder back in it was it
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety seven, nineteen ninety eight. It was the year
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: the first Men in Black movie came out, and we
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: were going to have a whole program on it. We
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: had been contracted by a movie theater in the area.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: It was in Ocean City, Maryland. We were going to
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: do a premiere of the movie on Friday, and listeners
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: were going to come and we're given all this way,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: and I, as the morning guy, went and got interviews
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: with the guy who did the graphic novels that Men
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: in Black Horse based on. And then I talked to
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: a friend of mine who was a news reporter in Phoenix, Arizona.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: When you had all the triangle of all the ships,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, this wasn't the National Inquirer. This was serious
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: journalists who I've known my entire life saying no, yeah,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: there was stuff flying around that we couldn't explain, and
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: nobody could explain that everyone saw it. This wasn't in
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: some field in upstate New York where a farmer and
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: his cows saw it. So it was over Phoenix, Arizona,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: and right over some military bases, and we had this
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: whole thing put together. It was all ready to go.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: And I get to the radio station Thursday morning. I
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: see the program director, the boss of the radio station
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: is there already. That's a Derek doing here so early.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: And I get there. It's like, dude, all the computers crashed,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: everything's gone, all of our music's missing, all of our
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: commercials are erased. I said, my show, Oh yeah, your show,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Everything that you had recorded, all the interviews all erased.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Like all right, that was a little too weird. It
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: was computers in the late nineties, so you know, one
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: could shake it off and just say it's a computer thing.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: But it was a little too coincidental for me. Nor
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: do I actually believe that we're alone in the universe,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: nor do I believe that if there are alien races
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: out there, they intend everything to be for good, anymore
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: than I believe that every person on this planet is
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: just hell bent on doing good things for one another.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: I believe in nature creates good and evil, and I
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: don't think that ends at the ionosphere. But that being said,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: when you look at the military base ramp ups going
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: on in Iran, they're apparently mobilizing troops. They're securing their
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: nuclear sites that we supposedly bombed out, but there are
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: a whole bunch of activity going on there with tunnels.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: We have aircraft carriers and the Mediterranean two aircraft carrier groups.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Now we're talking to Saudi Arabia about turning them into
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: our proxy of Middle East nuclear weapons and understand something
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: real quick about nuclear weapons. A lot of the discussions
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: about uabs and UFOs have centered around aliens perhaps being
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: interested in our fixation with nuclear weaponry. It was one
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: thing when the Soviet Union in the United States were
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: staring at each other over a munitions dump full of
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: nuclear weapons, because neither of those countries coveted mass annihilation
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: or even individual annihilation. They wanted to survive. The concern
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: in the Middle East are the theocracies that say nothing
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: could be a greater service than to die for your God.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: What's going to keep somebody like that who's got a
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: big red button on their desk from saying, pH, I
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: want my seventeen virgins and I want them now, and
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: push that big red friendly button and say, oh that
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: was easy.

  Speaker 20: that one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to

  Speaker 20: be super intense. As a matter of fact, it could

• 24:07
  Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
• 24:12
  Speaker 10: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 24:18
  Speaker 10: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any

  Speaker 10: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 24:26
  Speaker 10: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 24:31
  Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 24:36
  Speaker 10: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 24:41
  Speaker 10: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 24:45
  Speaker 10: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

  Speaker 1: then want to see how it's making you feel. We
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: play with your feels every morning. And other phrases that
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: sound weird but are apparently commonplace these days. Terry texts
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: in Joe, why don't you talk about the real controversy?
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: And he says, Eric Dane died of ALS. What is
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: would the spike in ALS cases these days? And you know,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: it's interesting that I'm sixty years old and I made
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: it all the way to sixty without knowing a single
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: person besides lou Gerigg that had suffered ALS. That's why
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: we called it lou Gerigg's disease. And perhaps it's a
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: proliferation of news sites things like that. But according to
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: ALS News Today alsnewstoday dot com. You can take their
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: angle on this as you wish, But they say that
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: in the next ten years, there's going to continue to
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: be an increase. But they're blaming it on us being older,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: that this is just from us living longer. I don't
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: think we're living all that exponentially longer than anything else.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: But you're correct. The number of people that you and
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: I are aware of and dain the Gray's anatomy actor
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: passing away with als yesterday. I have personal friends, two
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: personal friends that are descending into als. I never knew
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: anyone that had als before. Is there a connection? And
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: here's a question, why haven't any of you asked me
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: about glyphist states yet? President Trump yesterday supposedly lit the
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: whole building on fire like he sprayed napalm on it
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: by announcing that he had signed an executive order pushing
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: American manufacturing of glyphasate. That's the that's round up, you know,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: the stuff we used in Vietnam to exfoliate the countryside. Yeah, yeah,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: I know it was intentional. Doctor Clark's on the line
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: with us as we do conspiracy analysis this Friday morning.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Clark. How are you doing, sir? No, I'm
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: all good.
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: And as I was getting ready to do treatments, Burry
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: and I were listening to the show, and he's like,
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: you know his number, you call him alone, So I've
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: got him here. He wants to talk to you about
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: the aliens.
• 32:05
  Speaker 19: Okay, well who All the way back to black and
• 32:12
  Speaker 19: white television, Ray Walston Bill Vixby were on the show
• 32:16
  Speaker 19: about an alien that got stranded on Earth. Uncle Martin
• 32:19
  Speaker 19: couldn't repair a ship. He was stranded here. A lot
• 32:23
  Speaker 19: of adventures there. I can't recall the circumstances, but Kazoo
• 32:31
  Speaker 19: had to hang out with Bred and Barney for an
• 32:33
  Speaker 19: entire season. And then there was a document series ALF,
• 32:38
  Speaker 19: which was an acronym for alien life form, an orange
• 32:43
  Speaker 19: fuzzy creature from Melmack and again stranded because he couldn't
• 32:47
  Speaker 19: repair his ship.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Hide the cats.
• 32:49
  Speaker 19: So the yeah, well apparently the cats were culpivated for
• 32:55
  Speaker 19: food on that planet. Oh gosh, don't let Donald Trump
• 33:01
  Speaker 19: care about that. So the egance is overwhelming and the
• 33:07
  Speaker 19: science is settled. There are definitely aliens.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: But are they safe and effective?
• 33:14
  Speaker 19: Well, we need government studies to determine this, and you
• 33:19
  Speaker 19: know the governments that we see here, we probably need
• 33:26
  Speaker 19: to have some alien spaceship repair shops. All Curly Elonis,
• 33:34
  Speaker 19: Miga we can't have him looking at that. But somebody,
• 33:37
  Speaker 19: somebody needs to be looking into this.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Uh all right, well, Barry, I appreciate that. You know,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: I'm a little perturbed that you brought race into it
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: by mentioning black and white television white white? Did we
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: have not invented, you know, a better way to mix
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: the two colors together back in the you know, by
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: the fifties we were well past Jim Crow. Yeah, we
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: segregated our TV is into black and white there. But
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: one of the things that I think, you know, black and.
• 34:09
  Speaker 19: White were acceptable at one time and then colored was acceptable.
• 34:13
  Speaker 19: But eventually it all becomes unacceptable.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: That's the phrase that pays this morning. Eventually it's all
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: going to become unacceptable. Because I wanted to ask Barry,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: you know what happens if the aliens come down here
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: and they don't apply for citizenship? Are you is this
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: the Barry of twenty twelve that was against illegal aliens
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: coming to and taking jobs that Terrans would otherwise be filling,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: or is it the Barry of twenty twenty five that
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: seems to be fine with you know, open.
• 34:55
  Speaker 19: Okay, Joe, this is just you and me, now, please
• 34:57
  Speaker 19: turn off the broadcast stuff. Okay yo, Yeah, when it
• 35:03
  Speaker 19: was politically expedient, definitely that they all had to be deported.
• 35:08
  Speaker 19: But somewhere around twenty ten, all the American people kind
• 35:15
  Speaker 19: of figured out that they weren't going to vote for
• 35:18
  Speaker 19: me and my party that much anymore. And we need
• 35:22
  Speaker 19: every alien we can get, Joe, we need every alien.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: We can get, right, all right, So there you go.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: He's he's there for open eye on a sphere I
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: guess is that the border in between space and the
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: and planet Earth. Okay, well, thank you, Barry. I appreciate it, sir.
• 35:41
  Speaker 19: Take care, take care do.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Clark. And so Clark hanging out with Barry
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: this morning. Oh look, thank you very much. And it's
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: it is fun and frolic In terms of making a point,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Are there aliens? I don't know. I've never met one,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: per se, but I believe the statistics seemed to bear
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: that it would be unlikely. I was just reading a piece,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: ironically in the USA today yesterday about this spaceship that
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: they've designed, apparently had a design competition that it's called
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: the Chrysalis. Look it up. It's, you know, like the
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: it's supposed to transport people to the nearest star. I
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: presume that's still Alpha Centaury. That's where the Robinson's were headed,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: right and lost in space. They were going to Alpha
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: Centaury with doctor Smith. Oh pain. But this Chrysalis ship
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: is supposed to take four hundred years and the majority
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: of what they spent time on the gravity was easy.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: The growing stuff, I guess, was all relatively straightforward. How
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: are they going to come up with a governing process
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: that would allow sixteen generations of people who never saw Earth,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: never set foot on Earth, and we'll never see the
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: place that they're going live on this planet. I was
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: reading it thinking, gosh, this is a script from that
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: British TV show Doctor Who actually I think it actually was?
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Was it? Starship UK? Was one of them. So we're
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: talking about being the alien life forms and will we
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: be allowed to emigrate to whatever planets we find around
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Alpha Centauri? And what if at the end of those
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: four hundred years we get to Alpha Centauri and there
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: are no habitable planets there? Uh oh.
• 38:02
  Speaker 10: In a study, it was found that thirty three percent

  Speaker 4: Joe Thomas.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: So we're going to pivot here. I know we've been
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: having some fun and frolic with the distraction of the
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: Wheak Club. Is it the suspect formerly known as Prince
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: or is it the aliens that are coming across the
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: ionosphere not the Mexican border. There was a ruling yesterday,
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: and with Missouri, in California and Texas and all these
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: states doing some form of battle over redistricting. You have
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: states like Indiana saying nope, nope, not playing, not going
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: to do it. New York gave it a shot, Virginia
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: trying to circumvent its constitutional protections. And a couple of
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: folks who listen living in Virginia, our friends down tar
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: and Nas in Hampton Roads and here on our flagship
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: station in Stanton and Harrisonburg, know that a judge in
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: the Virginia Supreme Court had said they will rule on
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: whether or not the Democrat majority in the Virginia General
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: Assembly had violated the law in rushing this referendum on temporarily.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: And they love to use the word temporarily in all
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: their advertisements. Temporarily suspend the Virginia Constitution because it's an emergency.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: Trump must redistrict for Trump, and that's what their ad
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: basically says, this is an emergency. We're only suspending the
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: constitution for a little while. And many of you were
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: inundated in Virginia with ads about this. During the Olympics,
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: five million dollars dropped from Eric Holder's bank account into
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: the pockets of the proponents of suspending Virginia's constitution for
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: the existential emergency of Trump, and many of you said, well,
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: where's the Republican response. I have in my hands, a
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: list I have in my hands the TV ad that
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: has been put together by the opponents of the redistricting.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: And I won't even say Republicans because I don't believe
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: everyone in this commercial is a Republican, but they all
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: do have one thing in common, and we'll talk about
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: it after you listen to this stunning I think it
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: is beautiful ad.
• 47:23
  Speaker 24: They tell us be quiet, tell us to stay in
• 47:26
  Speaker 24: the back, in the back.
• 47:28
  Speaker 8: In the back, in the back, in the back, in
• 47:31
  Speaker 8: the back.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: Of the bus.
• 47:32
  Speaker 24: But we didn't fight to sit down.
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: We didn't stand up just to be silence.
• 47:38
  Speaker 14: We fought to be heard, to have our voices counted,
• 47:42
  Speaker 14: to have.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: Our votes counted, to choose leaders who asked.
• 47:45
  Speaker 26: It to us.
• 47:46
  Speaker 19: Now.
• 47:47
  Speaker 18: They want our numbers, but not our voices.
• 47:50
  Speaker 16: They want our presence, but not our power.
• 47:53
  Speaker 8: They're so bold in their lives that they call it
• 47:56
  Speaker 8: fair when they silence us.
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: But we will not sit down.
• 48:01
  Speaker 14: We will not be silent.
• 48:04
  Speaker 15: We will never never, never, not ever again, not ever again.
• 48:10
  Speaker 7: Vote no.
• 48:12
  Speaker 26: Vote no.
• 48:14
  Speaker 6: Vote no.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: On April twenty first. Vote no, Vote no.
• 48:20
  Speaker 24: On April twenty first.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: Citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia paid for this vote no.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: I guess if you couldn't tell from context, all of
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: the participants in that ad were black, a community whose
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: voice was supposed to be protected by the Voting Rights
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: Rights Act. Because the Permanent Reapportionment Act of nineteen twenty
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: nine gave the government the opportunity to divvy up black communities,
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: because what was happening was these black communities were growing
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: and they were getting congressional representation, and that didn't sit
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: well with the Dixiecrats. So the Dixiecrats said, I'll say,
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: I'll say, look at me when I'm talking to you, boy,
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: don't make me filibuster all up and down on your face.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: Where we're going to. I say, we're going to stop
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: this right here, right now. And they did. And this
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: Permanent Reapportionment Act meant that now we had to do
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: redistricting every ten years. When we did a census, we'd
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: get higher population, but the population would move around, and
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, what had been a city full
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: of black residents rising up and raising businesses and sending
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: members to Congress was split into half, and their city
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: was now three different congressional districts, mostly Caucasian. The Supreme
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: Court ruled that was racist, and thankfully they did what. No,
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: they didn't pay me to run that ad. It's on.
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: It just was released like this morning. It's a news story.
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: Everybody's I guess we're all talking cover ups these days, right,
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: Joe Thomas fully nude this morning, nothing to hide. Maybe
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: there's some things I should hide. Nothing to hide, though,
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: So this Permanent Reapportionment Act written by the racists. You know,
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: they came out from under their white sheets long enough
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: to write the Permanent Reapportionment Act of nineteen twenty nine,
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: get it passed because the Northern representatives were a little concerned.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: I want to fight with them. We're trying to be reconciliatory.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: Most racist of all Jim Crow laws, the Permanent Reapportionment
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: Act of nineteen twenty nine creates jerrymandering, splits up black communities.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: And that's what this ad is speaking to, because that's
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: exactly what Virginia is doing, is splitting up black communities
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: so that they can stretch their supposedly reliably blue election
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: outcomes into red rural communities. It's why. And we got
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: some text messages. A friend of mine, former elected official,
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: is not a supporter of my idea of going back
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: to even just the percentages, the ratio before the Permanent
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: Reapportionment Act. I'd like to go back, honestly, I'd like
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: to go back to what George Mason, a noted Virginia
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: lawyer in his own right, said would be the most
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: important way to protect the individual from the state, which
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: was to guarantee this was going to be the first
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: amendment in the Bill of Rights, guaranteeing that no congressional
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: district would ever be more than fifty thousand citizens each. Oh,
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: you'd have a lot of congress people. And you know
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: what the opponents say, that grows government. Joe, I thought
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: you were a conservative. No, it grows representation. See. Sloganeering
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: is a dangerous thing. All these hashtags people throw around,
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: What a great ad. We'll play it again a few
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: times this morning. I don't know if they have any money.
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: I know that Eric Holder has spent millions of dollars
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: into the coffers of those who want racism.
