  Speaker 1: Local and corporate controlled. Is still corporate controlled. This is
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: independence from Virginia again. First Thing Today by Joe Thomas
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: on the talk media network.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Jew Wort's that steal me stem You have a day
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: least for work, when the sun comes up, drops a
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: pet to school. The way Joe has everything, agenda, all
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: the chases, needs no one that Joe's as smile, He
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: only is peg.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Joe, thank you for letting me be of service to
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: it this morning. I want to be an honor to
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: be the guy that gets together with you and tells
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: you what went on last night. It breaks it down
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: into easily digestible gummies. And then while you wait for
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: the effects of the gummies to take hold, we will
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: discuss with you how the news of the past twenty
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: four hours is impacting you where you are. Lots and
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: lots of emails and text messages here Joel writes in
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: the Republicans need to grow a pair what you know
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: and go back to And I really thought it was
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: an interesting turn of a phrase that Tom Garrett, former
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: congressman and now member of Virginia's General Assembly said, the
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Democrats lie, the Republicans lack the courage to tell the truth,
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: and a couple of folks picked up on that line.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Mary says, that sounds like he's trying to cover for
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: the Republicans' lies. And there are multiple schools of thought
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: on what bearing false witness is. Such a great turn
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: of a phrase obviously written by God and handed to Moses,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor, and
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: not bearing a witness that you have is the same thing,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: is not as bearing a false witness. If somebody says
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: to you, Mary, what did you see when the police
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: chased the guy down the alley? And you say, I
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: don't know, and trust me. I grew up in the
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: city that was the most famous for the most famous
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: incident of I didn't see nothing. I think that's actually
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: the slogan for the city of New York, whatever the
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Latin translation is for I didn't see nothing. What employing
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: a double negative now requires me to pay payroll tax
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: on it? Nice? Nice, I didn't see that one coming
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: from you. Usually you make a face, So so that
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: is bearing false witness as much as actually lying and
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: saying I think I saw Joe chasing him down the street.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: So we have to realize that you know, not telling
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: what we know to be true is as bad as lying.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: But we've lost that. This goes back to the whole
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: moral country thing, and there are moral people in that
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: fifty percent that don't turn out or forty percent. Let's
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: be you know, open minded about it. Let's say that
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: mass forty percent of people who regularly don't show up
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: to vote. There's a lot of really good people there
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: who have have, you know, through their beliefs, believe that
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: when somebody says something on TV or a website that
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: looks like TV, because that's what we do now, is
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: we make our websites look like TV stations and POI,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: you know that that must be a TV guy. He
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: can't just lie. It is time for our first things
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: that will delve further into that. Coming up. Bob Good,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: host of the Good for America podcast Hanging on the
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: align with Us. But our first things this morning. Redistricting
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: in Florida. The organization the National Redistricting Foundation that's the
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: eric Holder group that has big bags of money and
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: sent two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to both houses
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: of Virginia's General Assembly just before their redistricting spasm is
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: now going to court against Florida Governor Ron de Santa
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: saying he doesn't have the authority to call a special
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: session of the Florida General Assembly in order to redraw
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Florida's congressional maps. Virginia's redistricting is ramping up as the
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Democrats that control Virginia's legislature right now introduced what they
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: call is a ten to one map, a map that
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: would take four of the five Republican represented seats and
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: automatically turned them to Democrat seats. The interesting part of
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: that is Virginia does not register their voters by political parties,
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: so they only know this based on previous election results,
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: and those vary. The nuclear pack between Russia and the
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: United States has expired. Start expired at midnight, and President
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Trump took to truth socials saying that quote, rather than
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: extend new start parenthes parenthetically a badly negotiated deal by
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: the United States that, aside from everything else, was being
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: grossly violated and close parentheses, we should have our nuclear
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: experts work on a new, improved, modernized treaty and that's
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: going to be a lot easier. As the United States
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: and Russia have agreed yesterday to reestablish military dialogue for
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: the first time in more than four years. President Biden
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: pulled out of any high level military communications between Moscow
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: and Washington as Russia was marshaling troops ahead of the
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: invasion of Ukraine in February of twenty twenty two. The
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: World Economic Forum has launched an independent investigation into its CEO,
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Borges Brende to clarify his relationship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Canada and France have set up consulates in the Danish
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: territory of Greenland to show their support for the local government.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: And Jorhan Mamdani is in trouble already because the heat's
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: been off in New York for weeks.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: people are actually happier with it, that sounds like something
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: to look into. And that's meta share. Maybe you've heard
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: joining metas share can save you or your family up
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: to five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge. But
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: it's also true. People are just happier with it. They
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: love being part of something that reflects and promotes their
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: values and what they believe in. Meda Share works too.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: It's been around for thirty years now, and members have
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: shared more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: So yeah, really, you can save a ton and like
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: of your health care, whether you're self employed or part
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: of the gig economy, or you just want to plan
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: that you're happy with.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: Here you go.

  Speaker 6: It's eight five to five share forty eight five five
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: share forty eight five five share.
• 7:59
  Speaker 7: Forty Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market.
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: any nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: or reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

  Speaker 9: saving work every day.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
• 10:36
  Speaker 9: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTSS.
• 10:39
  Speaker 9: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
• 10:42

  Speaker 3: Subject of the gerrymandering, and.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Business on your to do list, Putting the radio on
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: is the first thing today.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: I was sitting down with former House Freedom Concuss chair
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Bob Good this morning and host of the Good for
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: America podcast on a line at Good for America dot org. Bob,
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: I want to ask on the subject of the gerrymandering
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: and what will come of it, and the reason that
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: they have such zeal for it is this idea that
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: they can impeach and then remove Donald Trump. You get
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: enough senators, you get enough House members to do it.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: And I think a lot of Americans because all they
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: get are the newsfeeds that say Orange Man is going
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: to invade Greenland and that kind of stuff. Is there
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: enough time to counteract that narrative in your mind.
• 14:25
  Speaker 16: To counter out the efforts to impeach him.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Well, that the American people trying to sell the idea
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: of impeaching the president to the American people under the narrative,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: he's going to invade Greenland and he's going to destroy NATO.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Whether you agree or disagree with that, He's created chaos,
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: he hasn't stopped the war in Ukraine yet, and all
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: these things that they're trying to throw out there to
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: create this idea that it would be okay with the
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: average American voter, including many that voted for Donald Trump,
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: to impeach the guy.
• 15:02
  Speaker 16: I think you make a great, great question, great point.
• 15:04
  Speaker 16: The DEMS are controlled by their most radical, extreme leftist
• 15:08
  Speaker 16: base who actually talk the way that Spanburger governs here
• 15:11
  Speaker 16: in Virginia. Yeah, and they will be overreaching by pursuing impeachment. Now,
• 15:17
  Speaker 16: the Dems may be able to successfully run against the
• 15:20
  Speaker 16: President's policies or what he's doing, or against him, what
• 15:23
  Speaker 16: have you, that perhaps that will help turn out voters
• 15:25
  Speaker 16: for them, But in their efforts to pursue impeachment, the
• 15:29
  Speaker 16: American people don't want a duly elected president overturn through impeachment.
• 15:33
  Speaker 16: They will fail in that. That will not help them
• 15:35
  Speaker 16: in twenty eight if they were to get control of
• 15:37
  Speaker 16: the House. I don't think they're going to get the Senate.
• 15:39
  Speaker 16: They do have an opportunity for perhaps in the House,
• 15:42
  Speaker 16: but I think it will be an overreach that will
• 15:43
  Speaker 16: fail with the voters if they do pursuper impeachment, which
• 15:46
  Speaker 16: they will almost certainly do if they do get the
• 15:48
  Speaker 16: House majority, but it would fail in the Senate if
• 15:50
  Speaker 16: they did.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: All right, well, I appreciate it. What's coming up this
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: week in the Good for America podcast.
• 15:57
  Speaker 16: We're going to take a deep look at the Second Amendment,
• 16:00
  Speaker 16: particularly there's been some concerning response. I know that you've
• 16:03
  Speaker 16: talked about it with some government officials to what happened
• 16:06
  Speaker 16: in Minnesota to say, hey, you can't have you can't
• 16:09
  Speaker 16: be armed, you can't have a gun at a protest,
• 16:12
  Speaker 16: and so we're going to reinforce the Second Amend. We
• 16:14
  Speaker 16: talk a lot about that this week. We're also going
• 16:15
  Speaker 16: to be talking about with Tim Burchett from Tennessee, a
• 16:18
  Speaker 16: good friend of mine, Tennessee seven is going to be
• 16:20
  Speaker 16: on the broadcast this week as well.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Looking forward to it. Good for America and I'm sorry
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: I misnamed you. It's good for America. Dot org is
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: where you find the podcast. Bob. You have a great morning,
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: certain thing, and having a great weekend you.
• 16:34
  Speaker 16: As well, Joe, thank you.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: So it's interesting I was looking at our friends at
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: ballot Pedia have a graphic on partisan affiliation by state,
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: because Virginia's General Assembly is redrawing these districts based on
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: voter results, not on party registration. And I think it's
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: perilous for them because depending on the election, you look at,
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: these discs that they've gerrymandered are stretched so far away
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: from core blue areas like Scott in Hampton Roads Rights
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: in five districts weasel their way into just Fairfax County.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Fairfax County is one of those wealthy suburbs of Washington,
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: d C. Full of federal employees, and they are so
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: what they've done with these districts is they start in
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: blue areas like Richmond, Virginia, Fairfax, Arlington, and they take
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: the districts, and they literally stretch them like a piece
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: of rubber as far as they can before based on
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: last year's election results, they don't fall into a deficit.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: And if they've based I've looked at some of the
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: statistics a lot of their prognostications on last year's election results.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Last year saw a woeful turnout Republicans. So I think
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: they're making a mistake because if you go back and
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: look at elections that Republicans did well and turned out
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: well in these districts could flip the other way just
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: as easily. So it's going to be imperative on the
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: parties to get them. They get the voters motivated, but
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: you don't know the way you do in New York
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: or Massachusetts, or California or Oregon. What is it thirty
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: two two, thirty two percent registered Democrats, twenty four percent
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: registered Republicans, thirty percent, thirty six percent registered independence. New
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: York it's forty seven percent Democrats, twenty two percent Republicans,
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: and so on and so forth down the line. So
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: these partisan registration numbers make it easier to jerry mender.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: But beyond all that, this all begins with one of
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: the most racist things the American government ever did. And
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: Tom was talking about it a little bit when we're
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: visiting with former congressmen and member of Virginia's General Assembly
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: now Tom Garrett, we were talking about the racial underpinnings
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: of some of these things that he was talking about,
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: the gun grabs, and how the anti gun, anti Second
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Amendment movement was born during the racial post Civil War era,
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: and ironically, they're using poll taxes as a way to
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: stop gun ownership. Instead of banning the gun ownership, they're
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: just taxing them and creating all these new fees on
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: top of gun ownership. So you say, nah, you know what,
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: I don't need to own a gun. Fits all this
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: money extra and going to the government at all. That's
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: what they used to do to the blacks to keep
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: them from voting. I'm sorry, sir, that's twenty five dollars
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: fee to the state. I only make twenty five dollars
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: a week. I'm sorry, that's what the fee is to vote.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: And they were using all these premises to you had
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: to be a property owner and things like that in
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: the day to create Jim Crow one point zero and
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: the voting rights were one of the key trappings of
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: the first iteration of Jim Crow. And so what they're
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: doing is creating a scenario where if you live in
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: any of these congressional districts in Illinois or California and
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: you're a Republican, well, I'm not going to turn out.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to the guy's not going to win.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: You're also going to suppress participation. Republicans aren't going to
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: participate in the arena if they feel like the district
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: has already drawn sixty forty against them, and then they
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: can get this supposed mandate. And what they'll do is
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: they'll leave out the fact that they changed all these
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: district seats. And it begins with Texas, and Texas was
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: ordered to do this because their district seats were racially imbalanced,
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: and everyone else decided, hey, that sounds like fun. And
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: so I believe the Virginia Democrats are in peril of
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: doing a couple of things. Number One, in the way
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: the new governor is governing, inflaming the Republicans to a
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: point where no matter what the districts look like, they're
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: going to be turning out for the midterms, and it
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: might even flip Virginia's congressional representation even further, but that
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: requires motive.

• 28:24
  Speaker 1: the second most famous Thomas in Charlotte's.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're picking on me when I get theological. My
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: faith tells me as long as they're printing Bibles, I'm
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: allowed to read them in my native tongue. It's the
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: tenets of it. And there are a lot of people
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: who are still to this day. If I bring up
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: Martin Luther, I'll get a half a dozen text messages
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: or emails.
• 29:03
  Speaker 17: You know.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: Now the new one is comparing him to Jeffrey Epstein.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: That's fun as well. There I want to go back.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: I made a point, and we've got folks on the
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: phone at four three four eight eight two four two
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: one seven. If you're even a casual user of First
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: Thing Today by Joe Thomas, you've heard me talk about
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: the Permanent Reapportionment Act of nineteen twenty nine the Permanent
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: Reapportionment Act of nineteen twenty nine began in about the
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: same period in the teens that the Federal Reserve system
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: came about, a lot of technocracy came about, and we
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: started to really pervert the commerce clause because the post
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: Civil War America was dealing with a free black population
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: that was starting to figure it out on their own,
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: and I was thinking about this. Ray wrote in a
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: my comparison between where we are now and what a
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: lot of people say is the new coming civil war,
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: and my belief that no, this is just a reignition
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: of the old one, and much in the same way,
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: I truly believe that if you did find a way
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: to get citizenship for the folks who were here, you
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: would find them becoming conservative pretty quickly, much in the
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: way Jefferson was worried about freeing the slaves with the
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: stroke of a pen, talk about amnesty, and that by
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: the time nineteen twelve nineteen thirteen had come around, they
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: had developed quite an economy. This is why you had
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: to have the riots in Oklahoma over the Black Wall
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: Street and as part of why they started writing the
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: jerrymandering laws that became the nineteen twenty nine Permanent Reapportionment Act,
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: because they said, hold it, if this black community keeps
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: getting stronger and stronger and more and more prosperous, we're
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: going to lose all these seats in Congress. And how
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: will we run things if we don't have the seats
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: in Congress. So the racists in Congress at that point,
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: rotal authors said, that's it. No more Congress people. We're
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: capping the size of the US House of Representatives at
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: four hundred and thirty five. And that led to the
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: ability to break up black communities in the drawing of
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: the districts, because as communities grew, the districts would have
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: to be redrawn, So every ten years or so you
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: could split a black community in half and make sure
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: it never got political power. Obviously, the Voting Rights Act
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: that dealt with that to a great degree. But why
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: are these people who claim to be the voice of
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: the people, the Vox Popular why you tell me riddle
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: me this or or what the niddle me this? Jerome
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Gerald Nadler, natle me this, Jerome. Why is the party
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: that claims to be for all these minorities and all
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: these excluded classes doubling back down on the very legislations
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: that they use to keep those poor populations quote on
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: the reservation. I believe it's intentional because they want to
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: keep them on the reservation. What do you think? Andy
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: is on the line in Florida. Good morning, Andy. How
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: are you doing this morning, sir?
• 32:40
  Speaker 22: Hey, I'm doing great. I'm happily retired. Not as prosperous
• 32:46
  Speaker 22: as that had I sold the software. It's actually going
• 32:51
  Speaker 22: back on the market right now. So I used to
• 32:54
  Speaker 22: build track and field facilities. If you can imagine going
• 32:58
  Speaker 22: into a stadium and tearing something out and putting it
• 33:01
  Speaker 22: back and then telling the asphalt paving people that they
• 33:05
  Speaker 22: need to pay attention to like making sure they get
• 33:09
  Speaker 22: within like an eighth of an inch in three dimensions,
• 33:12
  Speaker 22: and they just look at you like you're crazy. And
• 33:14
  Speaker 22: then I just say, you know, you want the numbers
• 33:17
  Speaker 22: compacted and you know, or you want them loose.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: And so well. And that's because you're talking about a
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: track facility.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: The the you know, making these things to a specific
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: code is it's not you're not just paving someone's driveway.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: You're paying paving something that you know, Olympic records could
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: be set on are very important to kids, scholarships and
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: stuff like that.
• 33:41
  Speaker 22: The supposed who uh we're local asphalt people in Charlottesville
• 33:47
  Speaker 22: were quite great. I mean they were just you know,
• 33:50
  Speaker 22: never never worried about cheating. They just would you know,
• 33:55
  Speaker 22: put things to to a really tight tolerance. So every
• 33:59
  Speaker 22: time might build something around.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: There, you know, worked well.
• 34:03
  Speaker 22: And that's cool about Jefferson's quarry there is that that's
• 34:08
  Speaker 22: where that the greenstone comes from, for the for the
• 34:13
  Speaker 22: not plastic grass, but the uh click courts, oh that
• 34:19
  Speaker 22: not it's not red clay, but it's greenplay the.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: Question, I don't know if this is why you brought up.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: I don't know why it's why you brought it up,
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: but certainly an exacting piece of engineering like that. I'm
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: sure there are contractors who do paving that are you know,
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: looking at working in the margins for the folks who
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: are on their trucks and and in their equipment, you know,
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: simply because they're in a competitive marketplace for cost and
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: they can't keep having the state drive up the cost
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: of what they do, so they they they might you know,
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: damage or or mis create something if somebody isn't paying
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: as much attention as you Andy, that sounds like it
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: to me anyway.
• 35:05
  Speaker 22: Well, the other thing was, I mean, you know, I
• 35:07
  Speaker 22: spent my whole life in that industry and lived in
• 35:10
  Speaker 22: Charlottesville for like my whole life until I was retiring,
• 35:16
  Speaker 22: and you know, monetizing my life's work, and Florida has
• 35:20
  Speaker 22: you know, zero income tax now would has saved at
• 35:24
  Speaker 22: least three hundred and fifty thousand dollars just on you know,
• 35:28
  Speaker 22: some taxes.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: And I don't mean to interrupt you again, you know
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: that's one of the things that they're trying to propose,
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: is that they want to be able to retroactively go
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: after wealth. So if you if and I think this
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: is a New York state bill, not Virginia yet, but
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: you know they'll copy that. If you earned the money
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: in New York State and left, they could still tax it.
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: So you know this happens to our friends listening to
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: us on fourteen ninety wgh A lot. So you moved Greenwich,
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: Connecticut like my grandfather did, and you set up your
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: house there, and you build your house there, but you
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: work as a lawyer in New York City, Well you're
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: paying income tax in Connecticut. New York wants to be
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: able to attach your income as it was earned in
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: New York. They want their cut because they're afraid now
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: with Johan Mom Dannie, that you're gonna have this big
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: flight of companies moving out and if your company was
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: founded in New York, there's going to be taxes and
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: things like that that are going to allow them to
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: reach across state lines and get money that they have
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: technically would have no entitlement to jir I'm not get that.
• 36:41
  Speaker 22: But then the retroactive things. I remember was talking to
• 36:46
  Speaker 22: one of the government lawyers when I got this like
• 36:49
  Speaker 22: really weird letter, right, it was probably halfway through the
• 36:56
  Speaker 22: first What was the dude who was the chairman of
• 36:59
  Speaker 22: the g DNC who became the governor of Virginia, Terry mccauliffe. Yeah,
• 37:06
  Speaker 22: that guy. And I'm just I'm paying attention to, you know,
• 37:11
  Speaker 22: people like you, and not much else. I mean, I'm
• 37:13
  Speaker 22: sitting across from Lou Rockwell when I'm you know, doing
• 37:16
  Speaker 22: big things, nice company putting.
• 37:20
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 37:21
  Speaker 22: So, I mean you and Lou and James O'Keefe and
• 37:25
  Speaker 22: doctor Brad Wicks serving all on toe and they've tried

  Speaker 3: to share with us though, Andy.
• 45:02
  Speaker 22: Institute has a unimportant meeting from a there's a I
• 45:07
  Speaker 22: haven't met the dude yet, but apparently he rarely shows
• 45:10
  Speaker 22: up the things. But there's somebody from Europe that's come,
• 45:14
  Speaker 22: you know, coming to visit.
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: I think it might be March, okay this year, right,
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: it is where we love.
• 45:21
  Speaker 22: Mess It's in Auburn, but it has nothing to do
• 45:26
  Speaker 22: with Auburn University. They just teach people about the Austrian
• 45:30
  Speaker 22: School of economics.
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: That's right, that's right. This is the movement out of
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: Germany that you take over.
• 45:37
  Speaker 22: It's a an artist trained he was in an Austrian
• 45:40
  Speaker 22: born artists and he went to fight the people in
• 45:45
  Speaker 22: World War One and the unions they just failed to
• 45:49
  Speaker 22: supply the front lines.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: Good stuff.
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: Andy has always missus dot org is will you find
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: all that I want to finish up on the subject
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: of movements that you should be followed? Is an email
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: that came in from Tony listening to us and Joliet
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: W J O. L. They're in Illinois and the Chicago
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: what do they call it Chicago Land? It's because Joliet,
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: You know, I don't know Evanston and our bracketing of
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: the Chicago market there. But I appreciate you listening there
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: in the Windy City. We all got an experience of
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: that for a little bit in this past week. But
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: his email goes along the lines that we were talking
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: about with with Joel earlier. Is the Turning Point USA
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: and all of that. He says. He says, you mentioned
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: the schisms being driven in Turning Point USA. I wish
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: you wouldn't bring these stories up because it just gives
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: them oxygen. We need to extinguish these before they grow
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: any further. Don't do the Left any favors. And what
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: I did was I brought up the battle, if you will.
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: I think it's a made up battle. But you know,
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: Candice Owens had been on the outs with Turning Point
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: USA and Charlie Kirk for I think half a decade
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: before Charlie's assassination. And I'm not taking sides because I
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: don't think there need to be sides, because here is
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: my point on what's going on with Turning Point USA
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: and the twenty somethings that are awakening. This is in
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: a much more violent fashion, exactly what they did with
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: the Tea Party movement and the Maga movement. And all
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: you have to do is go open up better call
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: Sololensky's rules for radicals. Marginalize, isolate are two of the
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: core tools in his battle against alternative thought. Because in
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: the Democrat Party, this is why they march in such lockstep,
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: and you can never get somebody to vote differently than
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: the Democratic Party seems to want them to vote, because
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: it's a movement to them, and anything anyone that stands
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: up against it will be treated similarly. So in order
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: to stop a movement, you have to fracture the movement.
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: And they did it, you know, brilliantly, dark brilliants, but
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: brilliantly with the Tea Party movement. And then they did
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: it with the Maga movement. I think they're still in
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: the process of doing it in the Maga movement. And
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: then with Charlie Kirk, they killed brother and then turned
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: around and started fomenting this discord amongst those who survived.
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: It's Tucker Carlson, It's what's his name, Shapiro's it's Candice Owens,
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: it's Erica Kirk and everyone's being pulled and it will
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: dissolve the movement. They do it because it works, and
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: I'm not to not acknowledge it is the same thing
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: Donald Tom Garrett was saying earlier. I can't not tell
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: you what's going on. If I ignore what's going on,
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: that's the same thing as lying to you pretending there
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: isn't some there. There is worse than telling you everything
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: is daisies and roses and unicorn flatulence. So I won't
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: do it. I won't play that game. I just I can't.
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: And I hope you understand that we call balls and
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: strikes here dispassionately, and I'm not trying to win for
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: a political party outside of the fact that there is
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: one political party that we see, at least in some
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: way degree paying lip service to the conservative principles that
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: undergird the nation and begin us to this path. Where
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: at its founding, this country was not supposed to have
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: the authority over all the parts of the government of
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: the life that they do. This country was supposed to
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: be very limited in its scope. And this is why
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: I draw this all back to Barack Obama. State Senator
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: two thousand and one saying, you know, I really think
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: that the US Constitution is flawed because it's not a
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: proactive document, doesn't tell us what we're supposed to do
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: for the people. It just keeps restricting us from the
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: things we can do for the people. And thus began
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: his eight years in office, the intervening four years where
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: Valerie Jarrett was pulling Joe Biden's strings as well. And
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: so you know, we go through this time and time again,
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: washer in's repeat because the authoritarians don't have the intellectual
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: high ground to stand on. They don't These folks who
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: want to create this communist utopia don't have reality to
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: deal with, so they have to use machiavellian stunts and
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: manipulations and whisper campaigns and ways to fracture a much
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: larger population. That's why, you know, race baiting and this
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: kind of stuff is always so important, because they want
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: the conservative voices that I think outnumber them two to
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: one and minimum maybe three to one in the United
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: States to stay fragmented. Because if we stay fragmented, many
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: of us just don't engage, and we stay home and
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: we keep our heads down. We just do our thing,
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: and those who do engage wind up splitting tickets and
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: diluting the votes and spend so much time bashing one
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: another that it's a pox on both houses and nobody
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: gets elected. Stop us still wrap it up for the
• 52:27
