- 2:18Speaker 4: our YouTube channel. It's Joe Thomas and America on YouTube,
- 2:23Speaker 4: and there's some videos up there. I think my speech
- 2:26Speaker 4: to the Virginia Citizens Defense League is up there, a
- 2:28Speaker 4: couple of other things, but we're going to try to
- 2:31Speaker 4: put stuff up there each day from the program. Sometimes
- 2:34Speaker 4: it might be you and me having a conversation a guest.
- 2:37Speaker 4: We're definitely going to put mac up there because people
- 2:41Speaker 4: keep telling me that this is what is missing in
- 2:43Speaker 4: sports talk radio. I don't know this comment comes in
- 2:48Speaker 4: from how I think it is. Let me just make
- 2:56Speaker 4: sure I give the right folks here. It might be
- 2:59Speaker 4: Scott in Hampton Rose. He writes in the NFL needs
- 3:03Speaker 4: more black commissioners. We were talking in Max Sports Report,
- 3:09Speaker 4: Roger Goodell perhaps gave some of the most racist or
- 3:13Speaker 4: at least dog whistling racist comments about having to do
- 3:18Speaker 4: a better job of teaching the black guys how to
- 3:21Speaker 4: coach the white guys. I know that's not exactly what
- 3:25Speaker 4: he said. I'm just paraphrasing for content there, But yes,
- 3:30Speaker 4: Dion Sanders would be the first person I chose. You'll
- 3:34Speaker 4: understand something I'm not and I'm not being glib about
- 3:36Speaker 4: the National Football League. But what is a commissioner's job?
- 3:40Speaker 4: What is the president or the chair of your chamber
- 3:44Speaker 4: of commerce? The same kind of what was it? Five
- 3:46Speaker 4: OZHO one C six. It's it's an association, like a
- 3:51Speaker 4: trade association. They're a cheerleader, they're a cheerleader for the organization.
- 3:58Speaker 4: So why not get somebody like a Dionze. You don't
- 4:02Speaker 4: think Dion Sanders loves football. You don't think you think
- 4:06Speaker 4: Dion Sanders can get on TV and sell himself some
- 4:09Speaker 4: NFL football. And you're going to need it too, now
- 4:12Speaker 4: that they're paying the college kids. I mean, do you
- 4:16Speaker 4: really think the NFL can go up against the Big
- 4:18Speaker 4: ten and the SEC when it comes to passion. I mean,
- 4:23Speaker 4: maybe they'd be relegated to the West Coast, but they'd
- 4:27Speaker 4: need to get some fans in Scotland and in Mexico City. Anyway,
- 4:32Speaker 4: let me get our first things into your ears here
- 4:34Speaker 4: and then we can discuss as well. The partial government
- 4:42Speaker 4: shutdown continues into today, noted by several of my friends
- 4:48Speaker 4: on social media pointing to the lack of chemtrails in
- 4:51Speaker 4: the sky. Mike Johnson is going to have a test
- 4:55Speaker 4: vote on the rule, which will be how the deal
- 5:01Speaker 4: to reopen the government will be brought to the floor
- 5:03Speaker 4: of the House. He can only lose at this point
- 5:07Speaker 4: one vote, and if one Republican defense, the whole thing
- 5:12Speaker 4: comes apart and Republicans are lined up at the pork buffet.
- 5:17Speaker 4: President Trump says there are no changes this time, sounding
- 5:21Speaker 4: like a parent who made changes the last time. President
- 5:25Speaker 4: Trump also said Monday that he plans to lower tariffs
- 5:28Speaker 4: on goods from India to eighteen percent from where they
- 5:32Speaker 4: are now at twenty five percent because India has agreed
- 5:35Speaker 4: to stop buying Russian oil. Homeland Security Secretary Christy nom
- 5:40Speaker 4: announced that the ICE and other federal officers in Minneapolis
- 5:45Speaker 4: will be equipped with body cameras now. Corey Lewandowski said
- 5:50Speaker 4: in an interview a separate one that ICE officers had
- 5:54Speaker 4: asked for the extra protection. US Special Envoy Steve witcom Off,
- 6:00Speaker 4: an Iranian Foreign Minister of Agracci, are expected aradschi. I'm sorry,
- 6:07Speaker 4: I keep moving the consonants around. This poor guy's name.
- 6:10Speaker 4: How are we going to have peace with these people
- 6:12Speaker 4: if I can't get his name right. They're expected to
- 6:15Speaker 4: meet Friday in Istanbul. I presume Witkoff will get his
- 6:18Speaker 4: name right as they try to forestall any further nuclear
- 6:23Speaker 4: developments and try to end the humanitarian crisis that is
- 6:27Speaker 4: the collapsing Iranian economy. Former President Bill Clinton and his wife,
- 6:33Speaker 4: former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, have agreed to testify
- 6:37Speaker 4: to written questions in a written AFFI David to the
- 6:41Speaker 4: House Oversight Committee on their relations with pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
- 6:51Speaker 4: James Comer said he's still looking at contempt of Congress
- 6:54Speaker 4: charges for them, but they have agreed to dates for
- 6:57Speaker 4: the depositions.
- 7:02Speaker 3: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
- 7:05Speaker 3: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
- 7:08Speaker 6: It was Medishare that came through for us, and there
- 7:10Speaker 6: was no hassles, there was no problem.
- 7:12Speaker 3: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
- 7:16Speaker 3: of such an incredible ministry.
- 7:18Speaker 7: Meta Share is a Biblical approach to healthcare where Christians
- 7:21Speaker 7: share each other's medical expenses.
- 7:24Speaker 8: Medishare is a family, a group of people that stick
- 7:28Speaker 8: with you through the hardest times of your life.
- 7:31Speaker 7: Metashare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over thirty years
- 7:35Speaker 7: old and members have shared over eight billion dollars of
- 7:38Speaker 7: each other's medical bills.
- 7:39Speaker 9: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
- 7:41Speaker 1: You can focus on on supporting other people.
- 7:44Speaker 10: Medashare is affordable.
- 7:45Speaker 1: Medishare is biblical.
- 7:47Speaker 11: Medishare is family.

- 8:04Speaker 10: Considered by most Optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:08Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi'm
- 8:14Speaker 10: doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized
- 8:19Speaker 10: curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program.
- 8:24Speaker 10: It makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation
- 8:29Speaker 10: is a key component to our overall health. The Mayo
- 8:33Speaker 10: Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has
- 8:38Speaker 10: antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent cancer
- 8:44Speaker 10: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
- 8:46Speaker 10: many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy
- 8:52Speaker 10: cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where we

- 10:01Speaker 13: Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
- 10:04Speaker 13: with animals. I'm not only in all of their beauty
- 10:06Speaker 13: and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
- 10:09Speaker 13: at the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or
- 10:12Speaker 13: Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
- 10:15Speaker 13: or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
- 10:18Speaker 13: secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
- 10:21Speaker 13: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
- 10:23Speaker 13: in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
- 10:26Speaker 13: by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
- 10:29Speaker 13: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
- 10:32Speaker 13: they also perform life saving work every day.
- 10:35Speaker 1: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
- 10:36Speaker 13: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
- 10:39Speaker 13: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change.
- 10:42Speaker 1: In their blood chemistry.
- 10:43Speaker 13: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
- 10:46Speaker 13: contribute to society and help those in need. So please

- 13:27Speaker 2: At first Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by
- 13:32Speaker 2: Joe Thomas, the second most famous Thomas Charlottesville.
- 13:37Speaker 1: Or just opposed state.
- 13:42Speaker 2: You bet look out.
- 13:43Speaker 1: People or gets too Lay.
- 13:47Speaker 4: Said, there is the song that got Eric Clapton banned
- 13:50Speaker 4: from classic rock radio that lasted literally about a week,
- 13:54Speaker 4: when all the classic rock radio stations said, it's like, seriously,
- 13:59Speaker 4: like twenty percent of our library. He's got Eric Clapton
- 14:02Speaker 4: on it somewhere. We can't ban him. See that's what
- 14:05Speaker 4: you need. You need somebody that is so ubiquitous that
- 14:10Speaker 4: if you tried to cancel them, society itself would come apart.
- 14:15Speaker 4: Be four three four eight eight two four two one
- 14:18Speaker 4: seven couple of things. And we brought this up yesterday
- 14:23Speaker 4: and we never really had time to flesh it out.
- 14:25Speaker 4: And I think on the anniversary of the fifteenth Amendment,
- 14:29Speaker 4: as Joel pointed out to us earlier while we discussed
- 14:33Speaker 4: the Save Act, ironically on the anniversary of the fifteenth Amendment,
- 14:41Speaker 4: I want to enter into the public record again something
- 14:47Speaker 4: that I've done before, and we just didn't have it
- 14:49Speaker 4: at hand yesterday when it came up. The lost usurpation
- 14:59Speaker 4: in the Declaration of Independence. And tell me if this
- 15:04Speaker 4: is written by a racist person, if you want to,
- 15:07Speaker 4: if you were listening forty five minutes ago, compare it
- 15:10Speaker 4: to the statement Roger Goodell about made about why there
- 15:14Speaker 4: weren't enough black coaches in the NFL and how the
- 15:16Speaker 4: NFL has to do a better job of teaching them
- 15:19Speaker 4: how to. I don't know coach football. Declaration of Independence.
- 15:26Speaker 4: You know the abuses and usurpations. These are all the
- 15:29Speaker 4: charges against the king in this legal filing. He has
- 15:33Speaker 4: waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most
- 15:38Speaker 4: sacred rights of life and liberty in the persons of
- 15:42Speaker 4: a distant people who never offended him, captivated and captivating
- 15:48Speaker 4: and carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to
- 15:52Speaker 4: incur miserable death in the transportation thither. This piratical warfare,
- 15:58Speaker 4: the opprobrium of infidel powers, is the warfare of the
- 16:02Speaker 4: Christian King of Great Britain. Determined to keep open a
- 16:06Speaker 4: market where men should be bought and sold, he has
- 16:10Speaker 4: prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt Note that
- 16:16Speaker 4: means there were legislative attempts to end it, to prohibit
- 16:21Speaker 4: or restrain this execrable commerce, and that this assemblage of
- 16:25Speaker 4: horrors might not want no fact of distinguished die. He
- 16:29Speaker 4: is now exciting those very people to rise in arms
- 16:34Speaker 4: among us and purchase that liberty of which he has
- 16:38Speaker 4: deprived them, and murdering the people upon who he has
- 16:43Speaker 4: also obtruded them, thus paying off former crimes committed against
- 16:49Speaker 4: the liberties of one people with the crimes he urges
- 16:53Speaker 4: them to commit against the lives of another. Now I've
- 16:57Speaker 4: read that, Gosh don't know how many times I read that.
- 17:02Speaker 4: I've even played the musical that goes along with it
- 17:06Speaker 4: from the film seventeen seventy six Molasses Monday and Slaves
- 17:15Speaker 4: so uncounted times. But as I watch what's going on
- 17:19Speaker 4: in Minneapolis, and maybe you were hearing it as well,
- 17:22Speaker 4: in those words, it's Thomas Jefferson, the other Thomas from Charlottesville,
- 17:27Speaker 4: aside from your humble host, Thomas Jefferson of Charlottesville writing
- 17:34Speaker 4: this legal filing against the abuses and usurpations of the king.
- 17:39Speaker 4: Let those rattle around it. It's not a conspiracy. You
- 17:43Speaker 4: don't have to go to RedState dot com to find that.
- 17:47Speaker 4: You don't have to go to Reddit or four Chan
- 17:50Speaker 4: or some of these. You don't even have to go
- 17:52Speaker 4: to the Epstein files to get it. Go to the
- 17:58Speaker 4: Library of Congress. It's kept there. It's digital. That's actually
- 18:02Speaker 4: the copy I read to you is the copy from
- 18:04Speaker 4: the Library of Congress itself. To be fair, the Library
- 18:09Speaker 4: of Congress started as Thomas Jefferson's private library. But that's
- 18:12Speaker 4: a matter for another time. Please pay no attention to
- 18:15Speaker 4: the man behind the curtain. He was broke. So can
- 18:21Speaker 4: you imagine, just for a second thought, just struck me.
- 18:24Speaker 4: Can you imagine if Donald Trump, you know, gave merriw
- 18:30Speaker 4: Lago to the US government or something, as you know,
- 18:34Speaker 4: I don't know, a new camp, David. Can you imagine
- 18:39Speaker 4: the hue and cry So Thomas Jefferson's broke, and you know,
- 18:46Speaker 4: it's passed his presidency. He's broke, he's bankrupt, the farm
- 18:50Speaker 4: is dilapidated, he's there's a runout of money, and he
- 18:53Speaker 4: sells all of the books he's collected in his life
- 18:57Speaker 4: to the US government for money and they turn it
- 19:05Speaker 4: into the Library of Congress. Can you imagine if Donald
- 19:09Speaker 4: Trump tried to do something like that? Man? To be fair,
- 19:14Speaker 4: Eric Trump and Lara own a very fine winery not
- 19:17Speaker 4: far from Madicello where mister Jefferson sold that library from.
- 19:21Speaker 4: But I digress, which is my programming model. Think about
- 19:28Speaker 4: what's going on in Minneapolis, and think about what was
- 19:33Speaker 4: happening in seventeen seventy six. He has prostituted his negative
- 19:44Speaker 4: to suppress every legislative attempt to prohibit or restrain this
- 19:49Speaker 4: execrable commerce, every time we try to close the border,
- 19:54Speaker 4: build a wall, or oh, we can't let you do that,
- 19:58Speaker 4: and that this assemblage of horrors might not no fact
- 20:02Speaker 4: of distinguished die. He is now exciting the very people
- 20:06Speaker 4: who those very people to rise in arms among us
- 20:10Speaker 4: and purchase the liberty from which he has deprived them,
- 20:14Speaker 4: and murdering the people upon whom he has obtruded them.
- 20:18Speaker 4: Look at the riots in Minneapolis. Is this not a
- 20:22Speaker 4: political movement run by former staff aides to Congressman Tom
- 20:28Speaker 4: Periello D of Virginia. That's where Indivisible got at start.
- 20:34Speaker 4: That's who indivisible is. Indivisible is funded through Act Blue.
- 20:40Speaker 4: This is a political movement of people who are being
- 20:43Speaker 4: excited within their community to fight back against the very
- 20:47Speaker 4: laws that protect their property, their lives, their liberties. And
- 20:54Speaker 4: what has become the fodder for these people, I may
- 20:57Speaker 4: posit to you, is that we have allowed the economy
- 21:01Speaker 4: to become so slerotic that even professional people like nurses,
- 21:08Speaker 4: whether it be the one at Virginia Commonwealth University and
- 21:11Speaker 4: her poison Ivy, Yeah, that's what we call her Poison
- 21:17Speaker 4: Ivy at the Virginia formerly of Virginia Commonwealth University or
- 21:21Speaker 4: pretty Boy in Minneapolis. These are professional people that not
- 21:27Speaker 4: ten years ago would never have been in the economic
- 21:30Speaker 4: conditions to feel like they have to riot against the system.
- 21:34Speaker 4: But that's what they're doing. They're writing against the system,
- 21:37Speaker 4: and they're being gindap to do it along with the
- 21:40Speaker 4: non citizens, to collapse the system so that they can
- 21:47Speaker 4: insert their own. And what they've not done is vet
- 21:51Speaker 4: what the next system is going to be, because if
- 21:53Speaker 4: they did, I don't think they'd be so ready to
- 21:57Speaker 4: start kicking police cars and pushing and spring police officers.
- 22:02Speaker 9: Business owners, are you paying high phone bills for old
- 22:05Speaker 9: school systems and lousy service? Strong Tel cuts your phone
- 22:09Speaker 9: bills in half and turns every phone you own into
- 22:13Speaker 9: a feature rich business system. Sean Roddy CEO of Hennings
- 22:17Speaker 9: Brothers Drilling, had this to say, We've been a strong

- 28:33Speaker 4: Paso, Yeah, that's me, the little voice inside your head me,
- 28:42Speaker 4: I'm I'm the I'm the one in the white suit,
- 28:44Speaker 4: not the one in the red suit. That's just if
- 28:47Speaker 4: you're wondering which voices you're hearing uh in your head,
- 28:50Speaker 4: and don't don't don't look out the back window at
- 28:53Speaker 4: your dog. I grew up in New York City. I
- 28:54Speaker 4: know what happens when you go start listening to your
- 28:57Speaker 4: dog out the Uh what to tie in? So we
- 29:01Speaker 4: were read in and we got into the original draft
- 29:05Speaker 4: of the US Declaration of Independence. And Jim Wood, owner
- 29:09Speaker 4: of Big Ridge Guns and AMMO, is going to join
- 29:11Speaker 4: us in a moment because there's a connection here because
- 29:14Speaker 4: one of the things that happened during the you know,
- 29:16Speaker 4: after the fifteenth Amendment was passed, they started doing things
- 29:20Speaker 4: like poll taxes and poll tests. And you'll still hear
- 29:24Speaker 4: people they'll talk about the Save Act and say, oh.
- 29:27Speaker 9: Not just a poll tax.
- 29:30Speaker 4: Which were I mean the real poll taxes where you
- 29:33Speaker 4: had to pay like twenty five bucks, which was a
- 29:35Speaker 4: week's wages at the time in order to vote, in
- 29:39Speaker 4: order to register and then vote. So they were keeping
- 29:42Speaker 4: the black community out. They couldn't keep them out by
- 29:45Speaker 4: just saying you can't come in, so they had to
- 29:47Speaker 4: come up with qt s ways to do it. And
- 29:49Speaker 4: they're doing the same thing to the firearms owners of
- 29:53Speaker 4: America now. But let me get to you at four
- 29:56Speaker 4: three four eight A two four two one seven. Good
- 29:58Speaker 4: morning around the air with Joe. First thing this morning,
- 30:01Speaker 4: who's this, hey, Mike? What's on your mind?
- 30:07Speaker 6: Sir?
- 30:11Speaker 2: Mike?
- 30:13Speaker 6: Well transferred or blues again?
- 30:17Speaker 4: Do you do you intentionally? Somebody asked me this, hang
- 30:19Speaker 4: on a second Mike hanging. Somebody said, does Mike intentionally
- 30:23Speaker 4: call when he has bad cell service? I said, I
- 30:26Speaker 4: think so. I think he's trying to make a point
- 30:28Speaker 4: to his local board of supervisors. But I'm glad you
- 30:31Speaker 4: made it through anyway. Mike, go ahead, tell us what
- 30:34Speaker 4: what's on your mind before we lose you?
- 30:36Speaker 6: Uh sort of thing to a podcast what I do
- 30:39Speaker 6: on occasion this is the best opportunity for me to
- 30:44Speaker 6: get a service to heare you when I'm not competing
- 30:48Speaker 6: with a Mexican station.
- 30:51Speaker 4: I understand that.
- 30:54Speaker 6: So yeah, I purposely do it to try and convince
- 30:58Speaker 6: them that they need these ugly sell towers as pine trees.
- 31:04Speaker 8: But.
- 31:06Speaker 4: Good stuff. So what's on your mind?
- 31:08Speaker 6: I'm going I'm going at like a super ball and
- 31:12Speaker 6: just bounce around the place all rapidly one yesterday morning
- 31:18Speaker 6: during your second hour. And just recently, uh uh, you've
- 31:23Speaker 6: talked about uh destroying the system rebuilding it. Well, you
- 31:28Speaker 6: get illegal immigrants. They are not as well protected as slaves.
- 31:34Speaker 6: At least, slaves were acknowledged to be human and property
- 31:40Speaker 6: and people patry had an investment in it. You couldn't
- 31:45Speaker 6: work a dead slave, so the owners were interested in
- 31:50Speaker 6: protecting their investments. Point uh ill legal immigrants, they're just
- 31:57Speaker 6: disposable or uh, you can't claim them as a deduction,
- 32:02Speaker 6: you can't do this, or that, you don't have to
- 32:07Speaker 6: paid them a living wage or a memum wage. But
- 32:10Speaker 6: if you get enough of them, you can crash the
- 32:13Speaker 6: system by overwhelming and you can rebuild it. My real
- 32:19Speaker 6: interest is what would laws or franchise think about. I know,
- 32:26Speaker 6: the church, the churches for laural not any one single one,
- 32:33Speaker 6: not trying to pick on anyone, but a lot of
- 32:36Speaker 6: churches say, you know, treat them humanely. I'm wondering, aren't
- 32:45Speaker 6: we taught in the Christian faith that you're supposed to
- 32:49Speaker 6: respect the laws of man. If you're respecting the laws
- 32:53Speaker 6: of man, is it more humane you? So the illegals
- 32:58Speaker 6: don't come here to begin with. And second, if you
- 33:01Speaker 6: do go home because you're violating the law, and the
- 33:05Speaker 6: consequences are you get abused, used and discarded.
- 33:11Speaker 4: In and that's that's that's certainly not you humane. How
- 33:15Speaker 4: a lot of these folks are treated, uh, and and
- 33:19Speaker 4: not by our standards. And this becomes one of those
- 33:21Speaker 4: little gray areas the activists like to play in because
- 33:25Speaker 4: a lot of the countries where these folks have fled from,
- 33:29Speaker 4: the real refugees, not the ones who are pretending because
- 33:33Speaker 4: they're Chicom soldiers, but the ones who were abjectly poor
- 33:38Speaker 4: in Guadalmala or El Salvador or wherever it was. They
- 33:43Speaker 4: may actually have a better life, even living in the
- 33:47Speaker 4: shadows here in the United States than they had back home.
- 33:51Speaker 4: That's still not the standard we need to have. And
- 33:54Speaker 4: our Judeo Christian ethic is what you're talking about, is
- 33:59Speaker 4: these folks have to be given the opportunity to thrive
- 34:03Speaker 4: in the same way any citizen would by the same
- 34:06Speaker 4: protections that you mentioned that And that's the part where
- 34:10Speaker 4: these theologians come off the rail, because they're talking about
- 34:13Speaker 4: treating them humanely and then supporting this execrable commerce of
- 34:19Speaker 4: using them as cheap labor and patting ourselves on the
- 34:22Speaker 4: back just because it's better than Venezuela was.
- 34:29Speaker 6: Yeah, And wasn't our nation founded on the fact that
- 34:34Speaker 6: the English pairments, the English rulership was treating Americans as
- 34:43Speaker 6: citizens or not much better than the slaves. We got
- 34:48Speaker 6: paid better than slaves, but we weren't much better since
- 34:53Speaker 6: we weren't in England, and so the people had a resolution.
- 35:00Speaker 6: If you fight the government and you when you're reference
- 35:05Speaker 6: or referendue sustinaries. If you fight and lose, you're just
- 35:09Speaker 6: the junk aware for people that should be tet you
- 35:13Speaker 6: to curve.
- 35:14Speaker 4: Well, yeah, you're you're either revolutionaries or you're insurrectionists. You
- 35:20Speaker 4: choose good stuff, Mike is always I'm glad you made
- 35:23Speaker 4: it through the entrance corridor, Blues. There no cell service
- 35:26Speaker 4: where you are five years, but the county will give
- 35:29Speaker 4: you Internet. I'm sure they'll if you pay a fee
- 35:32Speaker 4: and fill out the forms. You have a good morning, sir.
- 35:35Speaker 4: Okay four three four eight A two four two one seven.
- 35:40Speaker 4: So the point I was making about guns and slaves is,
- 35:44Speaker 4: aside from the obvious, you know that the slaves and
- 35:48Speaker 4: a lot of the folks in the late nineteenth century
- 35:53Speaker 4: were trying to arm and train the freed slaves much
- 35:57Speaker 4: in the same way I say, if we liberate a country,
- 36:00Speaker 4: we should give every man and woman of adult age
- 36:04Speaker 4: a rifle and a handgun and ammunition for them. Because
- 36:08Speaker 4: if you truly believe that the Second Amendment is the
- 36:10Speaker 4: way to fight tyranny, once you've liberated a country, it's
- 36:14Speaker 4: going to be very hard for the tyrant to come
- 36:16Speaker 4: back if everyone's armed. But and that was going on
- 36:20Speaker 4: after the Civil War and the slaves were freed. But
- 36:25Speaker 4: what's happening now with gun ownership? And Jim Wood is
- 36:28Speaker 4: going to join us. Thank you Jim for hanging on there.
- 36:31Speaker 4: The listener always comes first, well, I mean right after me.
- 36:38Speaker 4: But the firearm taxes and the firearm restrictions are very
- 36:44Speaker 4: much in the same way there they were doing the
- 36:47Speaker 4: poll taxes. Oh sure, we won't stop you from owning
- 36:51Speaker 4: a gun. We're going to tax it like crazy. Oh sure,
- 36:54Speaker 4: we're not going to challenge whether or not you can
- 36:57Speaker 4: own a gun. We're going to make it impossible for
- 36:59Speaker 4: you to find a place to buy it. And there's
- 37:02Speaker 4: legislation just past the committees here in Virginia that will
- 37:09Speaker 4: establish a way to go after the people who sell
- 37:13Speaker 4: the guns, not even the manufacturers of the guns. They've
- 37:15Speaker 4: gone way past the idea of going after kel Tech
- 37:19Speaker 4: or any of the other manufacturers of these firearms. They
- 37:23Speaker 4: want to go after the people who sell them and
- 37:26Speaker 4: in many cases legally sell them, who to somebody who
- 37:30Speaker 4: then goes and does something horrific with them. They had
- 37:33Speaker 4: no way of knowing, and you should see the background
- 37:35Speaker 4: checks that somebody has to go through. If you pass that,
- 37:38Speaker 4: and you're still going to drop your last good marble
- 37:42Speaker 4: and do something horrific with a gun. What's a retailer
- 37:45Speaker 4: supposed to do? So they're going to start closing soon
- 37:49Speaker 4: if this law doesn't get vetoed by Governor Spanberger. But
- 37:52Speaker 4: that's not the only one in the country that's like this,
- 37:56Speaker 4: where the civil liability go after the gun sellers.

- 43:04Speaker 9: I can probably swim.
- 43:06Speaker 18: You should wait thirty minutes.
- 43:08Speaker 9: Okay, I'll tell me what to do.
- 43:10Speaker 3: Can it bar.
- 43:12Speaker 4: Cramp?
- 43:13Speaker 12: Oh?
- 43:13Speaker 2: I have a cramp.
- 43:17Speaker 1: I can probably hit the green from here?
- 43:19Speaker 4: Probably?
- 43:24Speaker 16: Can I get a mulligan.
- 43:27Speaker 4: Ready to go?
- 43:28Speaker 14: Hey?
- 43:28Speaker 19: Are you sure you're okay to drive?
- 43:30Speaker 17: Yeah?
- 43:31Speaker 19: I'm pretty sober.
- 43:33Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
- 43:36Speaker 5: Probably okay isn't okay? Especially when it comes to drinking
- 43:39Speaker 5: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
- 43:42Speaker 5: or a friend. Buzz driving is drunk driving. A message

- 44:14Speaker 2: Making Mornings great again. First Thing today on the Talk
- 44:18Speaker 2: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
- 44:32Speaker 4: You know, if you believe in things you don't understand,
- 44:35Speaker 4: like gun confiscation, you might fall prey to this. So
- 44:42Speaker 4: we were talking about this new Virginia proposal that would
- 44:47Speaker 4: go beyond what the normal states. And I was just
- 44:50Speaker 4: looking across the country states that allow their citizens to
- 44:54Speaker 4: go after gun manufacturers. Connecticut, our friends up there at WGH, Illinois,
- 45:00Speaker 4: Our friends in Evanston and Joliet, Colorado, Colorado Springs. And
- 45:07Speaker 4: for Collins listening to us California, are friends in Sacramento, Washington,
- 45:15Speaker 4: New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware. It's a murderer's row
- 45:20Speaker 4: pun intended of these sorts of states that allow you
- 45:23Speaker 4: to go after the sig sours in the keel tax
- 45:28Speaker 4: and the smith and Wessons of the world. If something
- 45:33Speaker 4: happens with one of their guns, you can go after them.
- 45:36Speaker 4: Now Virginia has decided to say, here, hold my beer.
- 45:42Speaker 4: They've decided to add the actual retail seller onto that
- 45:48Speaker 4: list of people. And this is what I mean when
- 45:51Speaker 4: I compare it to the poll tax. So, oh no,
- 45:53Speaker 4: you can own a gun. Good luck finding a place
- 45:55Speaker 4: you can buy one. Oh sure, you can own a gun.
- 46:00Speaker 4: It costs two hundred and fifty dollars. Well, the tax
- 46:02Speaker 4: is two hundred and fifty dollars as well.
- 46:05Speaker 22: Well.
- 46:05Speaker 4: The bullets are let's say a dollar a holler. Let's
- 46:09Speaker 4: just I'm just picking a number out. Let's say the
- 46:11Speaker 4: bullets are a dollar each. We're going to attach you
- 46:14Speaker 4: two fifty for each of those bullets. It's the same
- 46:21Speaker 4: premise as the poll tax was. Now one of my
- 46:26Speaker 4: friends who is great, one of the great trainers. He
- 46:30Speaker 4: will teach every He teaches law enforcement how to use
- 46:33Speaker 4: and you know, do their live fire training and all
- 46:37Speaker 4: of that. He's one of the pre eminent gun instructors
- 46:40Speaker 4: in the mid Atlantic. He's also the owner of Big
- 46:42Speaker 4: Ridge Guns and Archery. He is the great Jim Wood. Jim,
- 46:48Speaker 4: I mean, this is crazy land where we can start
- 46:51Speaker 4: going after retailers like yourself. You know, if something happens,
- 46:55Speaker 4: somebody does something with a gun, what do we do?
- 46:59Speaker 22: Yeah, well, well, you know the best thing you can
- 47:01Speaker 22: do is, you know the old saying is contact your congressman. Well,
- 47:05Speaker 22: and on the state level, it's not just contact your representative,
- 47:08Speaker 22: but contact.
- 47:09Speaker 4: All the representatives.
- 47:10Speaker 18: You can go to the General.
- 47:12Speaker 22: Assembly website and you can get the email information and
- 47:15Speaker 22: contact each and every one of them and just flood
- 47:18Speaker 22: their inbox with with your disagreement with with with the
- 47:21Speaker 22: you know, almost communist stand that they're trying to take
- 47:24Speaker 22: against their constitution.
- 47:26Speaker 4: Well, what about some of these folks, And you know,
- 47:28Speaker 4: we talk about hours. I know Tony Wilt had a
- 47:31Speaker 4: really close race, and I imagine he's a no vote
- 47:35Speaker 4: when it comes to a lot of these gun grabs.
- 47:38Speaker 4: But there are some of the folks who flipped the
- 47:40Speaker 4: you know Chris Obenshaine's seat for example, you know south
- 47:45Speaker 4: of US who did it fifty one forty nine, fifty
- 47:49Speaker 4: point five to forty nine point five, really close districts
- 47:53Speaker 4: where these Democrats that are now representing them, are they
- 47:56Speaker 4: just going to get up on the altar and commit
- 47:59Speaker 4: political sue side in support of these agendas, even though
- 48:03Speaker 4: it will clearly in a year and a half's time
- 48:06Speaker 4: cost them their reelection.
- 48:09Speaker 22: Well, every conversation I have with a citizen right now
- 48:12Speaker 22: about this topic, I say, I start off the conversation
- 48:15Speaker 22: with did you vote? Because the majority of those people
- 48:18Speaker 22: who flipped those seats and took those seats are so
- 48:23Speaker 22: uneducated on the facts when it comes to firearms, their use,
- 48:27Speaker 22: their and their their performance. So you know, the only
- 48:32Speaker 22: thing I've been able to tell people right now is,
- 48:34Speaker 22: you know, we had over three hundred thousand people who
- 48:36Speaker 22: voted in the last presidential campaign that did not vote
- 48:39Speaker 22: in the last election. You have to vote. You have
- 48:42Speaker 22: to know where your people stand. You know, it's it's
- 48:45Speaker 22: I won't say it's too late to complain, but when
- 48:49Speaker 22: you could have done something about it was in November.
- 48:51Speaker 4: Well, and that's one of the key things. Jim Wood
- 48:54Speaker 4: is on with its owner of Big Ridge Guns and Archery,
- 48:57Speaker 4: also Waynesboro City councilor, and so he knows a thing
- 49:01Speaker 4: or two about getting out the vote.
- 49:04Speaker 2: What was it that?
- 49:04Speaker 4: Because I get a lot of folks saying hold it.
- 49:07Speaker 4: Spanburger never was questioned about whether she'd raised taxes, even
- 49:10Speaker 4: by winsome sears, because she very carefully controlled the environment.
- 49:17Speaker 4: She didn't do you know, wide open press conferences. She
- 49:21Speaker 4: did these carefully controlled town halls where only supporters were
- 49:25Speaker 4: invited and that kind of thing, so they could keep
- 49:28Speaker 4: pitching this affordability narrative while now they're talking about an
- 49:32Speaker 4: income tax rate going up to fourteen you know, almost
- 49:36Speaker 4: fourteen percent, plus sales taxes on everything, including I think
- 49:40Speaker 4: hiring an accountant to do my taxes. It's they the
- 49:46Speaker 4: nickname Abigail Catfish. Spanburger is sticking pretty hard to the
- 49:50Speaker 4: new governor.
- 49:52Speaker 2: Yeah, they were.
- 49:53Speaker 22: I won't say well, I guess wise is the best word.
- 49:57Speaker 4: To explain it.
- 49:57Speaker 22: They were wise and how they ran her campaign because
- 50:00Speaker 22: she didn't say anything. Even in the debate against winslom Seres,
- 50:04Speaker 22: she didn't say anything. She really just kept it to
- 50:06Speaker 22: a men. Women kept it very discreet or what she
- 50:09Speaker 22: was going to do. But if you followed her party platform,
- 50:13Speaker 22: we knew exactly the direction they were going, you know.
- 50:16Speaker 22: So just because they don't say it does not mean
- 50:18Speaker 22: that they're not going to try to enforce it once
- 50:20Speaker 22: they get in power. And we're seeing that right now.
- 50:23Speaker 4: So I had this thought, and you you you know,
- 50:27Speaker 4: these folks, you know, sixth district. Who knows, But it
- 50:30Speaker 4: seems like we talked to Ken Couchinelli last week and
- 50:33Speaker 4: he said he believes that these rulings out of Daswell
- 50:37Speaker 4: will be upheld in the Virginia Supreme Court. So if
- 50:41Speaker 4: that's the case, so we're dealing with districts as we
- 50:44Speaker 4: expect them to be. And Ben Klein has got you know,
- 50:48Speaker 4: the famous novelist, and Tom Perriello is back for you know,
- 50:51Speaker 4: another round, you know, in the fifth district, and that
- 50:55Speaker 4: kind of thing. What impact does this sort of here
- 51:00Speaker 4: hold my beer process in Richmond going to do to
- 51:05Speaker 4: the Virginia electorate where I think the Democrats are hoping
- 51:08Speaker 4: on a big, big sweep in November. They could lose
- 51:12Speaker 4: because a lot of folks, just like you said, a
- 51:15Speaker 4: lot of those three hundred thousand Virginians that voted for
- 51:17Speaker 4: Trump are waking up. Maybe they will turn out in
- 51:21Speaker 4: this midterm. Jim, what are you hearing?
- 51:24Speaker 22: Well, I'm hoping so. You know, one of the things
- 51:27Speaker 22: that worries me, that will get people's attention is the
- 51:30Speaker 22: Virginia concealed carry permit. Now they're talking about dropping all
- 51:33Speaker 22: the reciprocity, given the power completely over to the new
- 51:37Speaker 22: Attorney General, who has control over people's right to defend themselves.
- 51:41Speaker 22: When he was the one saying that he wanted to
- 51:43Speaker 22: see somebody's children die, he is if they do that.
- 51:48Speaker 22: In order to get your license to carry, which is
- 51:51Speaker 22: another piece of legislation that they're talking about, they're saying
- 51:54Speaker 22: that you have to have a within the last two
- 51:57Speaker 22: years a class safety class given by either the Virginia
- 52:02Speaker 22: State Police or the Department of Criminal Justice Services in
- 52:05Speaker 22: order to have a license to purchase and that's not
- 52:07Speaker 22: just firearms that will also be AMMO. But they have
- 52:10Speaker 22: not been discussing or talking about how they're going to
- 52:13Speaker 22: fund these classes, how they're going to create these classes.
- 52:15Speaker 22: So without funding or the creation of these type of classes,
- 52:19Speaker 22: that means if this legislation pass has read, you won't
- 52:23Speaker 22: be allowed to purchase a firearm in Virginia.
- 52:25Speaker 4: Yeah, not until they create a toolkit for it. It's
- 52:28Speaker 4: sort of, you know, from the other viewpoints, sort of
- 52:30Speaker 4: what happened with marijuana. They said, Okay, we're going to
- 52:33Speaker 4: do this. We don't know how yet, but you know,
- 52:36Speaker 4: you know, it'll be out there. Jim, I appreciate it.
- 52:40Speaker 4: I'm so sorry I broke my mic there a second,
- 52:43Speaker 4: but we've got a run. Show is done until tomorrow morning.
- 52:48Speaker 4: So long and thanks for all the fish.
