  Speaker 1: you're saying on paper.

  Speaker 2: I need to do this.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: Putting the radio on is the first thing today.
• 0:11
  Speaker 4: Your words that steal men every day.
• 0:16
  Speaker 5: Please for work.

• 0:30
  Speaker 8: Please let me be Joe.
• 0:35
  Speaker 7: God bless you for letting me be of service to
• 0:37
  Speaker 7: you this morning, and all these places that are trying
• 0:42
  Speaker 7: to put these unjust injunctions on all of your rights,
• 0:48
  Speaker 7: the most important of them un challenged. Today, we are
• 0:52
  Speaker 7: here for a Second Amendment rally on Martin Luther King
• 0:55
  Speaker 7: Junior Day, intentionally held on this day, not just because
• 0:59
  Speaker 7: Martin Luther was a gun owner, not just because Martin
• 1:03
  Speaker 7: Luther King Junior saw this as the reason people needed
• 1:06
  Speaker 7: to own firearms to defend themselves against authoritarianism, but because
• 1:12
  Speaker 7: all the other rights are buttressed by your Second Amendment,
• 1:18
  Speaker 7: your fourth Amendment right to privacy. You look at the
• 1:21
  Speaker 7: collectivos in Venezuela going around kicking indoors, searching houses, looking
• 1:26
  Speaker 7: for all.
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: The collaborators that helped with the extradition.
• 1:32
  Speaker 7: If you will of Nicholas of Yeah, Nicholas Maduro, your
• 1:39
  Speaker 7: fifth Amendment, right to own property. Look at the housing
• 1:44
  Speaker 7: Czar in New York. Owning property is colonialist, white supremacy.
• 1:52
  Speaker 7: I'm going to have to fix that. What happens when
• 1:56
  Speaker 7: they come for your property and certainly the most important
• 2:02
  Speaker 7: your free speech rights, your right to question the government.
• 2:07
  Speaker 7: Ask the Iranians they don't have a Second Amendment in Tehran.
• 2:11
  Speaker 7: Yet they're dying by the thousands to protest the government.
• 2:16
  Speaker 7: And yet somehow there are people saying, oh, that's just
• 2:18
  Speaker 7: a put up. I mean, you know what, do you
• 2:21
  Speaker 7: realize what they're accusing you of? The accusation that they're
• 2:27
  Speaker 7: making when they say that these protests in Iran are
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: just to put on, are just to put up.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: Mosad and the CIA.
• 2:41
  Speaker 7: They're saying that you and me and our representatives would
• 2:45
  Speaker 7: kill tens of thousands of people to get our way.
• 2:49
  Speaker 9: Is that?
• 2:50
  Speaker 7: Is that what we have become discussive four three four
• 2:54
  Speaker 7: eight eight two four two one seven. Certainly authoritarians need
• 2:59
  Speaker 7: you to fear so that you will give them authority.
• 3:08
  Speaker 7: This text message we were talking in the last segment,
• 3:11
  Speaker 7: Kareem had sent me text of a speech Karl Marx
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: maid in which he said the workers need to needed
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: to keep in bear arms to fight against the ttalitarians.
• 3:23
  Speaker 7: Follow up to that, speaking of Marx, comes this text,
• 3:29
  Speaker 7: real oppressors to the working people are the politicians at
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: all levels.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: Federal, state and local.
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: When we get back, I want to share a story
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: and not that my twenty seven year old son should
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: be held up as an example of all twenty seven
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: year olds. He did grow up around me and my wife,
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: so you know he may he may not be as
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: indoctrinateable as possible. We had a great discussion over dinner
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: Saturday night. It was Saturday night, maybe it was Sunday night.
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: All run together when you don't have the radio show,
• 4:04
  Speaker 7: you know for those couple of days and you're like, oh,
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: what day is it again, It's like a.
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: Punctuation mark in your sentence. It's like that.
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: Oxford comma. But we had this great conversation on the
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: perversion of the commerce clause that I want to get
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: into that.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: Leads to that botch.
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: It is first thing today, which means you need to
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: know the first things in the news that we're covering
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: this morning, so that we can discuss here at four, three, four, eight, eight,

• 4:58
  Speaker 7: were on meet the press to discuss us how they've

  Speaker 7: Crown Prince of Iran, in exile since his father was
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: deposed in nineteen seventy nine, said to the security forces
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: watching to not point your weapons at the people. Death
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: toll conservatively is thirty nine hundred this morning. More accurate
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: descriptions say could be closer to thirteen thousand. Department of
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: Justice said it's investigating a group of protesters that invaded
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: a Minnesota church where the pastor is reported to be
• 6:18

• 8:07
  Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 11: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 11: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 11: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 11: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:32
  Speaker 11: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:37
  Speaker 11: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 11: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 11: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51

  Speaker 13: Hirybody, I'm Jack, and it's always a boy. Growing up
• 10:01
  Speaker 13: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 13: I'm not only in alle of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 13: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:09
  Speaker 13: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 13: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
• 10:15

  Speaker 13: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
• 10:21
  Speaker 13: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
• 10:23
  Speaker 13: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 10:26
  Speaker 13: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29
  Speaker 13: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 10:32
  Speaker 13: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
• 10:35
  Speaker 13: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
• 10:38
  Speaker 13: from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
• 10:41
  Speaker 13: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
• 10:44
  Speaker 13: variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
• 10:46
  Speaker 13: help those in need. So please join me an American

• 11:05
  Speaker 15: And now a speech.
• 11:07
  Speaker 16: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
• 11:10
  Speaker 16: heart and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 14: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
• 11:15
  Speaker 14: brain is saying when it's time to go home, Somebody
• 11:18
  Speaker 14: call me a ride.

  Speaker 17: Love that guy, me too.
• 11:21

• 11:31
  Speaker 18: costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just

• 12:32
  Speaker 4: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased

• 13:13
  Speaker 3: From Joe Thomas, it's first thing.
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: Today, the cirrination or just a poling state you met
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: the cab people or gets Julae there, I am.
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: So you got to keep the clips on or at
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: least well oiled. Here in Richmond, Virginia for one of
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: the biggest civil rights rallies that we could possibly ever
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: see one year with fifty thousand people took to the
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: streets to defend the the cornerstone of all the other
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: civil rights, your right to keep in bare arms h
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: and you'll see a lot of coverage of it today,
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: maybe some of it even include me, as told me
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: where I grew up in New York. It doesn't matter
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: whether the press says bad things about you or not,
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: as long as they spell your name correctly. I'm not
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: sure if that still stands or not. But you know,
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: one of the greats in this area when it comes
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: to Second Amendment rights and not just your right to
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: keep in bear arms, but the right to be able
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: to use them when the excrement hits the air handler.
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: Is Jim Wood.
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: He is the owner of Big Ridge Guns and art
• 14:41
  Speaker 7: Uh and our sponsor as well. But beyond that, one
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: of considered one of the pre eminent gun instructors in
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: the mid Atlantic, not just in Virginia. And he's on
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: the phone with us also city councilor of Waynesboro, Virginia.
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: But that's another matter for another day.
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: That triggers a few people on the left as well.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: Jim Goodmore, how are you doing.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Sir good barn Joe Good to be with you?
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: Am I wrong about?
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: One of the things that's key about Second Amendment supporters,
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: like all the folks who are going to gather here
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: in Richmond, Virginia today and gather in other similar rallies
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: all across the country. I was talking to Philip Van
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: Cleeve of the Virginia Citizens Defense League. He said, you know,
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: they're partnering with gun owners of America. So there are
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: similar rallies going on all over the country on this
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: Martin Luther King Day. So many I think the twenty
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: states have part time legislatures that have just gone into
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: session and are considering all sorts of things. I mean,
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: here it's you know, a license even to consider purchasing
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: a legal consumer product. That's amazing to me. Other states
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: are still dancing around ammunition taxes and regulations on all,
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: dancing around the reality that Second Amendment supporters not only
• 15:58
  Speaker 7: own guns, but are well trained guns. Which is your
• 16:01
  Speaker 7: pigeon is training people and how to use their firearms
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: when the excrement hits the air handler, No exactly.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: I mean most you know, most gun owners that I
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: deal with on a regular basis, their biggest emphasis is
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: on safety and correct handling. But when you're dealing with
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: some of these, especially in Virginia newly elected officials, they
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: just go over they overstep that. They don't look at
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: the true meaning of what we do as as instructors
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: to teach the responsible gun handling. All they are looking
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: at is achieving the goal of complete and total gun control.
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and so that only the authority figures have the guns.
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: And it's if there is a better example of what's
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: going on on the streets of Tehran. I mean, yeah, sure,
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: there are no gun owners in Iran, and they're still
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: uprising against the authoritarian government. But tens of thousands of
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: people have died in the effort, and we've avoided that
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: through political backs and forths, right.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Jim, Absolutely, it's it's it's a constant struggle. And the
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: anti gun lobby in this country, you know, they're they're
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: not really reinventing the wheel. They are looking at what
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: other countries have done in the past, places like China
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: and Turkey, the United Kingdom. They're looking at those places
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: and just adopting the tactics that they used in order
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: to get their totally complete gun control. If people study
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: history and look at it, they'll, you know, realize the
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: old cliche of how history repeats itself is true and
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: evident in everyday life. But especially when we're talking about
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: the use and ownership of firearms.
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: It's a blessing that most people listening right now, wherever
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: they are, have never had a gun pointed at them.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: I have.
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: I don't know if you ever have, Jim, but I
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: know what it's like to have, you know, some scared
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: teenager with a rifle robbing my restaurant, And then you
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: know the cold hard stare of somebody who is well
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: trained pointing a thirty eight caliber at me, robbing another
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: restaurant of mine. But that feeling of helplessness when you
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: know you don't have the ability to defend yourself back
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: is so profound. And I remember the desk sergeant at
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: the one hundred and eleventh Precinct in New York City
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: looking at me and saying, well, what would you do
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: if you had a gun? When I went and applied
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: for a concealed carry permit or just a carry permit
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: in New York, and I didn't have a good answer
• 18:32
  Speaker 7: because I was a twenty year old kid. But I
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: went and I said, I need to defend myself, even
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: back then, growing up in New York. What do you
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: say to somebody who it's just an abstract to them.
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: They've never had to face that moment of helplessness when
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: somebody gets the drop on them. We see it with
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: the drug gangs and all these other folks.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: What do you say to those folks?
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Jim, Well, listen, you're talking to a combat veteran. So
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: when you ask if I've had any again, is pointed
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: at me, I can say there's a few yeah, so yeah,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: but not, you know, in in the same context as
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: you have no, I have not. Now. I thank the
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Good Lord every day and when I lay my head
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: on my bill at night, I say my prayers that
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: anybody who's ever taken my training or my class that
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: that never happens to them as well. But in answer
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: to your question, you know, I tell everyone you don't
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: really know what you'll do to your in that situation.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Everybody reacts differently. Fight or flight never kicks in the
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: same way twice. But the one important thing that you
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: can have in your pocket is training. Because as a
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: combat infantryman, the training that I had in the military
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: really led to me being able to perform and do
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: my job in the military. So your ability to your
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: training as a civilian. You know, hopefully if you have
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: the correct training from a good instructor who knows what
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: they're doing, that that training will kick in ass as
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: much instinct as anything. Because those situations In the u
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: United States, the average shooting self to fit shooting incident
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: only lasts three to five seconds. Well, you really don't
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: have time to think about it. All you have to
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: do is react and hopefully react correctly, safely, and with
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: enough force to stop the threat, but not excessive.
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: Big Ridgeguns dot Com, by the way, is where Jim's
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: and it's still got that new store smell brand new,
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: just open here. But you know, and that's why I
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: brought this up because what that desk sergeant in New
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: York City said to me is the is the point
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: of training. I have a guy, as a matter of fact,
• 20:35
  Speaker 7: I'm sitting in his office in Virginia's General Assembly that
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: did a lot of training for me. He had me
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: doing somersaults and all this calisthenics and then trying to
• 20:44
  Speaker 7: get up and hit a target because, as you said,
• 20:46
  Speaker 7: you don't know your heart racing, you're scared, your nervous,
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: and you want to make good decisions.
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: So what do they call it?
• 20:54
  Speaker 7: Live fire training? Where you know you really to feel
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: that that adrenaline right.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, And and you know shooting and self defense
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: with firearms is a perishable skill if you don't continue
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: that training and and train correctly, just like anything else,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: if you train poorly, then you're going to react poorly.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: But correct training, well, actually you got to keep those
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: skills sharpened and you know, honestly, if you do it right,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: it's it's it's a great stress reliever, and there can
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: be a lot of fun going out to the range
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: and just fired some rounds one day.
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: Well and feeling confident that you know what you would
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: do when things go you know, Caddy wampus in your world.
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: And again the prayers of everyone that the majority of
• 21:41
  Speaker 7: us don't have to face it. Jim would one of
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: the pre eminent trainers. And I'm not overstating it. It's
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: not just Virginia, it's the whole mid Atlantic. People turn
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: to you. You know, their own law enforcement officers turned
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: to Jim for training in that case. And and one
• 21:57
  Speaker 7: of the things here in Virginia that they're asking about is.
• 22:01
  Speaker 19: Hey, I Brandt and her name is shay I Love.
• 22:04
  Speaker 19: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
• 22:07
  Speaker 19: for because of a surgery.
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: She just went through.
• 22:09
  Speaker 20: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
• 22:12
  Speaker 20: talk about all the time, which is meta share.
• 22:14
  Speaker 19: That is right, Yeah, So what was your experience like
• 22:17
  Speaker 19: with meta share and health care ability?
• 22:18
  Speaker 20: Honestly, Brandt seamless and what a blessing that is when
• 22:21
  Speaker 20: you're already nervous about a health issue which I was
• 22:24
  Speaker 20: members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
• 22:27
  Speaker 20: me tell you, having people pray.
• 22:30
  Speaker 21: With you when you call in with your need, that
• 22:32
  Speaker 21: is just refreshing.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's what it is.
• 22:35
  Speaker 19: I keep telling people people love meda share and they
• 22:38
  Speaker 19: love saving money. The typical family can save five hundred
• 22:41
  Speaker 19: dollars a month.
• 22:42
  Speaker 20: I am very thankful for Meta Share. It is so different,

  Speaker 22: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
• 23:11
  Speaker 22: better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
• 23:16
  Speaker 22: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports
• 23:20
  Speaker 22: veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
• 23:25
  Speaker 22: personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
• 23:31
  Speaker 22: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
• 23:35

• 23:40
  Speaker 22: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
• 23:44
  Speaker 22: AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for

  Speaker 11: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
• 24:12
  Speaker 11: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 24:18
  Speaker 11: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 24:22
  Speaker 11: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 24:26
  Speaker 11: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 24:31
  Speaker 11: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 24:36
  Speaker 11: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 24:42
  Speaker 11: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 24:45
  Speaker 11: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

  Speaker 5: The cmnation or just opposing state. I want to bring
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: up COVID when we get you know, but you met
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: look out people worn gets too that Jim wood is
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: was I had a question for Jim.
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: He is a sponsor of today's program without question big
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: Ridge Guns and archery, but also pre eminent gun teacher
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: here in the mid Atlantic goes state to state to
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: teach people how to use their firearms. Jim, is this
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: idea that you would need a permit just to come
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: into a store like yours, and even before you could
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: even investigate purchasing firearm, you would have to go through
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: all this training to get an approval from the state
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: to purchase a legal consumer product. You know, it's mind
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: boggling the calisthenics that they've gone through to find ways
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: to restrict gun ownership.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Well, again, history has a tendency to repeat itself. And
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: in states that have those restrict super restricted rules and regulations,
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: they have nearly never seen any decrease in crime in
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: most cases, really an increase in crime, or you know,
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: they're they're they're going to some of the angle now
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: of preventing suicide, and there's no real proof that that's
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: ever happened. As well, in these states restrict gun laws
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: on ownership and be able to purchase. As matter of fact,
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: in some states they have just the same amount of statistics.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: They're the statistics never moved when they have rules that
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: allow you only to purchase a firearm one day, then
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: wait sometimes in some areas forty eight hours before you
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: can purchase AMMO. And that's what their argument was there,
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: and it didn't change the statistics at all.
• 30:14
  Speaker 7: Well, and you talk about, you know, even red flag laws,
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: which oh they sound logical, Well, if somebody is in crisis,
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: we see time and time again that these red flag
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: laws actually cause more problems when somebody busts in and
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: takes somebody's firearms and then they become more suicidal than
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: they did before.
• 30:35
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, red flag laws have really just kind of polluted
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: the water. Honestly, there's you know, if you've ever taken
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: a probability in statistics class, you know you could adjust
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: numbers to say whatever you really want them to true.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: But my probability and statistics professor I had told me
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: one day that you know, the thing is that basic
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: fundamental math never lies when you just use the basic addition, subtraction,
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: long division, multiplication. Those numbers are the univision language that
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: always tells the truth. And when you look at the
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: basic numbers, you can see there has been no decrease
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: in crime. There has been no decrease in suicide. It's
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: only hindered responsible gun owners, you know, with those laws
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: in place.
• 31:15
  Speaker 7: Well, and again, you know it's not that we're not caring.
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: We want people. I mean, it's the same thing when
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: somebody is feeling gender dysphoria. I want them to get help.
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: I don't want them to just be become some tool
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: of somebody who's got an agenda and then left by
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: the side of the highway like so many empty uhuah
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: wah cups. Jim, what is as we look towards this
• 31:39
  Speaker 7: year the key to you. We were talking about the
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: congressional races, but we're looking at all these different state legislations.
• 31:50
  Speaker 7: I said to Philip earlier, you got to get out there.
• 31:53
  Speaker 7: Even if you're in a state like Oregon or California
• 31:56
  Speaker 7: where you feel like you're out numbered three to one,
• 31:59
  Speaker 7: you've got to make the case. Just like those dissenting
• 32:02
  Speaker 7: Supreme Court decisions.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: No, it goes all the way down to the individuals,
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: their individual citizens. You know, whenever anybody starts asking me
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: questions about what's going on, especially with our executive branch
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: in Virginia or our General Assembly, the first question I
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: asked is did you vote? Yeah, that's what leads. That's
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: what leads the question or the rest of the conversation.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Right then.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: I was speaking to a gentleman the other day that
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: I've known for a long time, I consider a good friend.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: I'm an Army veteran, and he was complaining about the
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: upcoming laws. I said, did you vote? And he said, well,
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: I never vote. You're the problem.
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we've got to.
• 32:39
  Speaker 7: I mean, we saw whether it was that Virginia election
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: was fifty two percent turnout for you know, all of
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: the seats in the General Assembly and governor, and we
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: couldn't get past fifty two percent statewide. So you're seeing
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: the playing field to the organized and we have to
• 32:56
  Speaker 7: we can't allow ourselves to be voiceless because it's you know,
• 33:02
  Speaker 7: and maybe that's part of why the press, you know,
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: unendingly will feed you these stories to gaslight you into
• 33:09
  Speaker 7: you know, giving up, and you can't, can you, Jim.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Well, you know people have that opinion sometimes that my
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: vote is just one vote and it doesn't count. But
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: you know, right now, Virginia is under a spotlight. People
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: are looking just like in twenty twenty during the last
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: you know that during the probably more famous lobby day
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: that happened in Virginia with such a huge turnout. You know,
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Virginia was under a spotlight. Every vote counts because that
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: spotlight shines across our country and other states as like
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: you mentioned Oregon and other states, they look at us
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: and then they use us as an example of what
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: they should do for their people. Jim would and that
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: just absolutely it. Oh no, I was just going to
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: say that we don't understand the responsibility we have as
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: in the greatest country in the nation, you know, to
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: be an example and be that shining light for everyone.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: And people need to understand that Virginia one of the
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: original colonies, one of the original you know states, one
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: of the region that led our revolution to become a
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: free nation, to be able to establish a constitution and
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: a bill of rights. People look to us, not just
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: any country, but around the world to see what we do.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: So every single vote counts so.
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: Well, said Jim Wood big Ridge Guns and Archery, big
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: Ridgeguns dot Com. God bless you, sir, and thanks for
• 34:27
  Speaker 7: joining us, and thanks for supporting our broadcast today.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: Thanks joe y'all keep up the good fight.
• 34:33
  Speaker 7: And I want to tie it back into what he
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: was saying about the last time when we had fifteen thousand,
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: that was the height of COVID and one of the
• 34:41
  Speaker 7: things COVID. I think Joel mentioned this earlier too. He
• 34:47
  Speaker 7: mentioned another one of Horace Cooper, the great jurist who
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: has fought for constitutional rights out of Project twenty one
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: and the National Center for Public Policy.
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: But Joel brought this one up earlier.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: I think nine to eleven changed everything, which is crazy.
• 35:07
  Speaker 7: I don't want to because you might get past this
• 35:09
  Speaker 7: and hold on to your thought a second, because that's
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: the craziest thing.
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: And I agree with you.
• 35:14
  Speaker 7: I think nine to eleven gave the government the idea
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: it had this kind of authority.
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: But there were no guns used.
• 35:21
  Speaker 7: So are we banning box cutters because that was the
• 35:23
  Speaker 7: weapon of choice of Muhammad Atta and his boys. I
• 35:27
  Speaker 7: have six box cutters in my house right now and
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: only one pistol. So anyway, so that was Joel's call
• 35:33
  Speaker 7: from earlier on the subject. So nine to eleven COVID.
• 35:37
  Speaker 7: These are what Horace Cooper called norm busting events, norm
• 35:42
  Speaker 7: busting meaning so shocking, so frightening that we're willing to
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: change who we are because of them. And they all
• 35:52
  Speaker 7: turned out to be lies and frauds. And this is
• 35:56
  Speaker 7: why every September eleventh I bring up Flight ninety three,
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: because this was a bunch of unarmed guys getting up
• 36:03
  Speaker 7: and attacking the guys with the box cutters and crashing
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: a plane. Obviously, they knew the peril, They knew what
• 36:11
  Speaker 7: was going to happen, because it had already happened at
• 36:15
  Speaker 7: the Pentagon and at the World Trade Center.
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: That kind of courage is.
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: Born of what Jim does and teaching people how to
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: use their firearms and their Second Amendment safely and thoroughly
• 36:29
  Speaker 7: and appropriately. But it also looks at as he said
• 36:35
  Speaker 7: COVID twenty twenty, Oh my gosh, it's a virus.
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: What are we going to do?
• 36:39
  Speaker 7: Government says, close all your businesses, stay home, or we're
• 36:42
  Speaker 7: going to take away your licenses. They were threatening to
• 36:45
  Speaker 7: take away people's driver's licenses if they were caught out
• 36:49
  Speaker 7: after curfew. Remember, after being pushed around by constitutional lawyers,
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: they finally capitulate and said, okay, okay, you you can't
• 36:57
  Speaker 7: be out between midnight and seven am. As if somehow
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: COVID only spread in the dark of night, and not
• 37:05
  Speaker 7: even only in the dark of night, but only after
• 37:07
  Speaker 7: midnight for some reason, because they had no constitutional grounds,
• 37:11
  Speaker 7: but because they had been given the power of the license.
• 37:15
  Speaker 7: Because you had to get a license from the government
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: to open your restaurant or your your habitashery or whatever
• 37:23
  Speaker 7: it was, you had to have some sort of permit
• 37:25
  Speaker 7: from the government. They never said we're going to put
• 37:28
  Speaker 7: the state police around you know, your businesses and shut
• 37:31
  Speaker 7: them down. They had no constitutional authority to do that.
• 37:35
  Speaker 7: What they had was the power of the license. And
• 37:38
  Speaker 7: that's still something that's hanging out there that we need
• 37:42
  Speaker 7: to go back into and look into to push back
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: on these norm busting events that take us further and
• 37:49
  Speaker 7: further away from the very common sensical things of the
• 37:53
  Speaker 7: Bill of Rights.
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: So we get to you at four three, four eight
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: eight two four two.
• 37:56
  Speaker 7: One seven coming up as we broadcast live from the
• 37:59

• 38:01
  Speaker 19: Life can change so abruptly.
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: Just ask Paul.
• 38:05
  Speaker 19: He's a hardworking entrepreneur, he's young, he's got a young family. Suddenly, though,
• 38:09
  Speaker 19: he develops a rare medical condition where he lost the
• 38:12
  Speaker 19: use of both of his arms.
• 38:14
  Speaker 16: I could no longer drive a car, couldn't use a computer, type,
• 38:17
  Speaker 16: couldn't use a mouse. I could not hold my son,
• 38:19
  Speaker 16: who was about a month old.
• 38:20
  Speaker 19: Paul and his family were facing a mountain of medical bills,
• 38:23
  Speaker 19: but they're so thankful that they're members of metas Share.
• 38:27
  Speaker 16: I think if someone asked me, like, hey, does men
• 38:29
  Speaker 16: Share really work? I'm living proof that it works. My
• 38:33
  Speaker 16: four children are living proof that it works. My arms,
• 38:36
  Speaker 16: which have been healed, are living proof that menashare works.
• 38:40
  Speaker 16: Just knowing the emotional peace of mind, knowing that our
• 38:42
  Speaker 16: needs are going to be taken care of when we
• 38:44
  Speaker 16: have some type of medical problem, that is such a
• 38:46
  Speaker 16: huge blessing to us.
• 38:47
  Speaker 19: It could be a huge blessing to you to people
• 38:50
  Speaker 19: save so much and love being part of meta Share

• 44:52
  Speaker 7: Joel Annan's Sami and Natasha surdox America's Round Table program.
• 45:00
  Speaker 7: They were at speech that then wound up turning into
• 45:03
  Speaker 7: national news as hackers took Resipalavi's speech from northern Virginia
• 45:10
  Speaker 7: just there last week and turned it into a hack
• 45:13
  Speaker 7: like a scene from the original And it may be
• 45:16
  Speaker 7: in the new telling of Running Man as well. But
• 45:19
  Speaker 7: when you know Mick Fleetwood is the leader of your
• 45:22
  Speaker 7: underground and dweezl Zappa is his hacker, you have to
• 45:27
  Speaker 7: remember that those are the kind of things that are
• 45:29
  Speaker 7: indelible memories. This one Mike in Florida says, don't forget
• 45:34
  Speaker 7: red flag Pam and Florida Joe without question, all our
• 45:38
  Speaker 7: friends WRR ro O D in Daytona and WTTB up
• 45:42
  Speaker 7: there and the Treasure Coast and WFO Y and our
• 45:47
  Speaker 7: great friends in Florida, like Andy's on the phone with us.
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: You know, Florida a red state. And I always tell
• 45:53
  Speaker 5: this to.
• 45:54
  Speaker 7: People when they say, oh, all hope is lost. We're
• 45:57
  Speaker 7: in Oregon, or in California, or we're in Virginia, where
• 46:00
  Speaker 7: you know you have a You had fourteen seats flipped
• 46:03
  Speaker 7: in the General Assembly to create this super majority of
• 46:06
  Speaker 7: Democrats thanks to fifty one percent of the votes cast
• 46:11
  Speaker 7: out of fifty percent of the voters. And and yeah,
• 46:15
  Speaker 7: I meant that to sound dismiss of their authority or
• 46:18
  Speaker 7: their mandate. But these states don't stay static. There was
• 46:24
  Speaker 7: a point on September eleventh, two thousand and one, when
• 46:28
  Speaker 7: New York State had a Republican governor and New York
• 46:32
  Speaker 7: City had a Republican mayor.
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: So these things don't stay static.
• 46:38
  Speaker 7: On September eleventh, two thousand and one, Florida was still
• 46:41
  Speaker 7: a purple state, mostly blue, had been blue, reliably blue
• 46:46
  Speaker 7: for decades. Now, we just think it's a FEEDI complete
• 46:51
  Speaker 7: that it's read number one a reminder to conservatives in Florida,
• 46:55
  Speaker 7: hold on to the fish loosely because it'll squirt out
• 46:59
  Speaker 7: and you'll be California before you know it. And to
• 47:01
  Speaker 7: the folks in California, you know you had a Republican
• 47:04
  Speaker 7: governor not all that long ago, and you thank you
• 47:07
  Speaker 7: for hanging on the line, sir, Happy Martin Luther King
• 47:10
  Speaker 7: Junior day.
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: And same to you.
• 47:13
  Speaker 8: I'm in favor of all races as long as we
• 47:17
  Speaker 8: just you know, just you know, respect God's law, rightmen.
• 47:21
  Speaker 8: So a couple of things. I've got a copy and
• 47:26
  Speaker 8: you can get these on Amazon. A book called Start Strong,
• 47:31
  Speaker 8: A New Believer's Guide to Christianity by Christian Rana. And
• 47:37
  Speaker 8: she's the spouse of the man who handles my financial
• 47:45
  Speaker 8: and so I just wanted to share that with you.
• 47:48
  Speaker 8: I actually texted.
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: What's the name of the book again?
• 47:52
  Speaker 8: It's it's called Start Strong, A New Believer's Guide to Christianity.
• 48:01
  Speaker 8: Kids went to the Coven School. And I've just known him, yeah,
• 48:06
  Speaker 8: for a long time since he used to write articles
• 48:08
  Speaker 8: for the Daily Progress on Mondays.
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, and then on finance. No, I know, David.
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: OK.
• 48:15
  Speaker 7: But here's the thing, and so important is this concept
• 48:19
  Speaker 7: because we read news stories all the time about this
• 48:22
  Speaker 7: explosion of twenty somethings finding their way to Christian churches,
• 48:28
  Speaker 7: and the left wing.
• 48:29
  Speaker 5: Media is like, Oh, they're not really. Oh these people
• 48:31
  Speaker 5: are being fooled.
• 48:32
  Speaker 7: They're not really, they're not becoming Christians, and pay no
• 48:36
  Speaker 7: attention to all these people who are joining all these churches.
• 48:39
  Speaker 7: But it's important for kids, especially these kids who were
• 48:42
  Speaker 7: raised you know, almost free range or feral if you
• 48:47
  Speaker 7: want to understand, because I think they're out there looking
• 48:51
  Speaker 7: for answers, Andy, and their parents were unwilling to give
• 48:54
  Speaker 7: them to them because oh, I want to keep their
• 48:56
  Speaker 7: feelings or whatever it is that they convince themselves of,
• 49:00
  Speaker 7: and they're looking for those answers and a lot of it.
• 49:03
  Speaker 5: Charlie Kirk turning point, and they're like, what is this stuff?
• 49:06
  Speaker 5: What is the stuff that gives you this courage?
• 49:08
  Speaker 7: Like Jim Wood was talking about training with firearms gives
• 49:12
  Speaker 7: you courage to face the unknown. Your faith is designed
• 49:17
  Speaker 7: to give you that courage, Right, Andy.
• 49:21
  Speaker 8: Well, I did the same thing when well it was
• 49:25
  Speaker 8: I went to Northwest Arkansas when you said that the
• 49:30
  Speaker 8: things we're going to blow up downtown and sure enough,
• 49:33
  Speaker 8: on August twelfth and whatever was in twenty seventeen. Yep,
• 49:37
  Speaker 8: and I'm watching this Charlottesville, where i'd lived for forty
• 49:42
  Speaker 8: plus years, you know, just on the national news. I'm like, oh,
• 49:46
  Speaker 8: my Joe is right.
• 49:48
  Speaker 5: And so when I came back, I had it being
• 49:51
  Speaker 5: right about that too.
• 49:52
  Speaker 8: Training. A lot of people been, you know, joined the
• 49:55
  Speaker 8: Little Robanner Rifle Club. And the day I went out
• 49:59
  Speaker 8: there actually to do the testing, there was a guy
• 50:03
  Speaker 8: from Antifa in there and with the California sweatshirt on,
• 50:09
  Speaker 8: and I was like, it was just too weird because
• 50:13
  Speaker 8: that was the one place you could go and actually
• 50:15
  Speaker 8: do the firing of the fire of the because there
• 50:20
  Speaker 8: everything else you could do online up until that point.
• 50:26
  Speaker 8: This is twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, and then I think
• 50:29
  Speaker 8: there were about two hundred thousand felons that were pardoned
• 50:34
  Speaker 8: by mccaulloff. I think it was.
• 50:37
  Speaker 5: That's true. I were ramping up towards the news.
• 50:40
  Speaker 8: Okay, anyway, just keep doing what you're doing well, and
• 50:44
  Speaker 8: it's important.
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 50:46
  Speaker 8: On the corner of Wayne and Maine, it's the Waynesboro
• 50:50
  Speaker 8: Heritage Foundation, and I helped sponsor a show before I left. Yeah,
• 50:57
  Speaker 8: the the family didn't have enough money to put you together.
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: Whatever.
• 51:01
  Speaker 8: Let's say I wanted to show shut up with the
• 51:05
  Speaker 8: chechnat day.
• 51:06
  Speaker 7: I'm glad you supported that kind of stuff, Andy, and
• 51:08
  Speaker 7: thank you for listening. Four three four eight A two
• 51:11
  Speaker 7: four two one seven God bless you, sir. Keep it
• 51:14
  Speaker 7: up always, uh so you know, and as we ramp
• 51:17
  Speaker 7: up to the finish line, a couple of things like Kareem,
• 51:20
  Speaker 7: I want to thank Kareem for that docum, that speech
• 51:23
  Speaker 7: that Carl Marx made in which he said the workers
• 51:27
  Speaker 7: need to keep their guns uh to push back on authority.
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: So you know, even Carl.
• 51:32
  Speaker 7: Marx got it so and as I said, it makes
• 51:36
  Speaker 7: me muse. I wonder what Carl Marx would say to
• 51:39
  Speaker 7: Bernie Sanders today. But more importantly on this Martin Luther
• 51:42
  Speaker 7: King Junior day, let's remember his last words to us,
• 51:45
  Speaker 7: Oh we say to America.
• 51:47
  Speaker 5: Is being show of what you say it on paper?
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: I lived in Shana.
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: Are you going to rush on in it? Totalitarian country?
• 52:03
  Speaker 5: Maybe I could understand some of these illegal injunctions.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: Maybe I could understand the denial of suddain basic First
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: Amendment privileges because they haven't committed themselves to that over that.
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: But somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly. Somewhere
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: I read are the freedom of speech? Somewhere I read
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: are the freedom of press. Somewhere I read that the
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: greatness of America is the right to protest far right now.
• 52:42
  Speaker 7: And if I would tweak that speech once, I'd say
• 52:44
  Speaker 7: for the defensive rights until tomorrow morning at five.
• 52:47
  Speaker 5: I am Joe Thomas, So long and thanks for all
• 52:49
  Speaker 5: the fish.
