- 0:45Speaker 3: foremost isn't afraid of calling itself a radio program. But
- 0:49Speaker 3: beyond that, we tell you what went on last night,
- 0:52Speaker 3: as we have for decades. We know how to do this,
- 0:56Speaker 3: and then we will give you a chance to tell
- 0:59Speaker 3: us how all of this is impacting you where you

- 1:21Speaker 3: four three four eight eight two four two one seven,
- 1:24Speaker 3: because I know how crazy mornings can be, and to
- 1:28Speaker 3: be fair, you're going to give you a chance to
- 1:31Speaker 3: get on with your getting on this morning. So much
- 1:34Speaker 3: to go into. Of course, you heard President Trump there
- 1:36Speaker 3: at the onset of the program in his primetime address
- 1:41Speaker 3: that he called yesterday afternoon.
- 1:43Speaker 1: In these past four weeks, our armed forces have delivered swift, decisive,
- 1:49Speaker 1: overwhelming victories on the battlefield, victories like few people have
- 1:54Speaker 1: ever seen before. Tonight, Iran's navy is gone in ruins.
- 2:02Speaker 1: Their leaders, most of them, terrorist regime they led, are
- 2:08Speaker 1: now dead.
- 2:09Speaker 6: Now.
- 2:10Speaker 3: Interestingly enough, the New York Times has reopened their famous
- 2:14Speaker 3: Pentagon Papers section, in which they get to lead classified
- 2:19Speaker 3: documents or start whisper campaigns behast to foreign nations. And
- 2:24Speaker 3: they're reporting that.
- 2:25Speaker 2: No, that's not true at all.
- 2:28Speaker 3: It's amongst all the fact checking that went on. Oh
- 2:31Speaker 3: that's not true. That's not true. Iran stronger than ever.
- 2:34Speaker 3: The New York Times tells their readers in New York,
- 2:38Speaker 3: if there are any remaining, that it's not true at
- 2:42Speaker 3: all that all of Iran's great leaders and deer leaders
- 2:45Speaker 3: are still alive, and sending them press releases from Tehran.
- 2:51Speaker 3: We'll get into all of that with you and me.
- 2:54Speaker 3: And some interesting stuff going on in court yesterday and
- 2:58Speaker 3: rulings and lings abound, So here we go our first
- 3:03Speaker 3: things for this Thursday morning, four astronauts are hurtling through
- 3:11Speaker 3: space on the longest humanity lunar voyage in more than
- 3:16Speaker 3: half a century, a thirty two story rocket carrying three
- 3:20Speaker 3: Americans and a Canadian from NASA's Kennedy Space Center. Tens
- 3:26Speaker 3: of thousands gathered to witness the launch of the Artemis
- 3:29Speaker 3: two rocket, and so far, so good. Senate is expecting
- 3:38Speaker 3: to try something more difficult than even flying to the Moon.
- 3:41Speaker 3: They're going to try to quickly pass a measure today
- 3:44Speaker 3: that would fund most of the Department of Homeland Security,
- 3:48Speaker 3: though it's unclear how soon the House would follow up.
- 3:51Speaker 3: Senate Majority Leader John Thune held a joint press conference
- 3:55Speaker 3: with House Speaker Mike Johnson, who apologized for having the
- 3:58Speaker 3: temerity from slowing down the process and said, of course,
- 4:02Speaker 3: the Senate's compromise deal is so much better than anything
- 4:05Speaker 3: else we could have come up with, Basically bringing what
- 4:08Speaker 3: the Senate compromised on last week to the floor, a
- 4:12Speaker 3: deal that would fund most of the Department of Homeland
- 4:15Speaker 3: Security budget, just not the Immigration and Customs enforcement part
- 4:21Speaker 3: of that, and that would be debated in certainly Grand
- 4:25Speaker 3: Form later in the next few weeks. In response to
- 4:29Speaker 3: President Trump's address, Iran peppered's neighboring Arab countries with new
- 4:36Speaker 3: missile strikes, including some that even made it towards Israel.
- 4:46Speaker 3: The New York Times is reporting that Iran is not
- 4:53Speaker 3: willing to engage in meaningful negotiations and is as strong
- 4:57Speaker 3: as ever. They have access to US intelligence reports, they
- 5:02Speaker 3: claim that indicate that Iranian leadership holds a strong position
- 5:06Speaker 3: and does not need to accept US demands. NATO's Secretary
- 5:12Speaker 3: General Mark Root is set to visit with President Trump
- 5:15Speaker 3: next week for meetings on the war in Iran and
- 5:19Speaker 3: NATO's tepid response to the President's request for assistance or
- 5:24Speaker 3: at least a runway or two to use. Britain is
- 5:28Speaker 3: holding a call today with the G seven and twenty
- 5:33Speaker 3: seven other countries on the response to the restrictions on
- 5:39Speaker 3: oil coming through the Strait of Hormuz. And those are
- 5:43Speaker 3: some of our first things on this Thursday morning here
- 5:47Speaker 3: all along the Talk Median Network, thanks for joining us.
- 5:51Speaker 7: Every state is home to significant historic sites that tell
- 5:54Speaker 7: the American story, but not every site is telling that
- 5:58Speaker 7: story honestly and fairly. That's why the Heritage Foundation created
- 6:02Speaker 7: the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites. This interactive guide equips
- 6:06Speaker 7: American citizens with the tools they need to enjoy the
- 6:10Speaker 7: sites that depict some of the greatest moments in our
- 6:12Speaker 7: nation's history, analyzing them for historical accuracy, and provides resources
- 6:18Speaker 7: for families or educators planning a visit. It currently covers
- 6:22Speaker 7: over forty five sites in the thirteen original colonies, but
- 6:25Speaker 7: sites from all fifty states will be added in time
- 6:28Speaker 7: for citizens to celebrate America to fifty this summer. From
- 6:32Speaker 7: Mount Vernon to Independence Hall to Gettysburg and more. Americans
- 6:37Speaker 7: deserve transparency, and sites that steward our history faithfully deserve
- 6:42Speaker 7: our gratitude. The Heritage Guide to Historic Sites invites every
- 6:45Speaker 7: American to rediscover the places and stories that define our nation,
- 6:50Speaker 7: whether it's across the country or in your backyard. Visit
- 6:54Speaker 7: Historic Sites dot Heritage dot org to start your adventure today.
- 7:01Speaker 8: You know it's true, difficult times have a way of
- 7:03Speaker 8: focusing us. We have to think about what matters most
- 7:07Speaker 8: when it comes to our spending our healthcare. This is
- 7:09Speaker 8: why so many people are joining meta share right now.
- 7:13Speaker 8: Metashare is a trusted way to save up to fifty
- 7:16Speaker 8: percent on your monthly healthcare costs. More than four hundred
- 7:19Speaker 8: thousand people have already made the switch. It's pretty obvious why,
- 7:23Speaker 8: especially now during this challenging season with health care costs
- 7:27Speaker 8: and out of pocket.
- 7:27Speaker 2: Expenses going up.
- 7:29Speaker 8: Metashare can save you a lot of money. The typical
- 7:31Speaker 8: family saves five hundred dollars a month. Medashare works too.
- 7:35Speaker 8: It's been around for thirty years. Members have shared more
- 7:38Speaker 8: than five billion dollars of each other's bills. There are
- 7:41Speaker 8: different options to choose from to fit your budget. I'll
- 7:44Speaker 8: give you the number here in a second, and if
- 7:45Speaker 8: you call, you can get a price within two minutes.
- 7:48Speaker 8: Maybe now is the perfect time to make the switch
- 7:51Speaker 8: and start saving. Here you go call eight five five
- 7:54Speaker 8: share forty. That's eight five five share forty eight five
- 7:59Speaker 8: five share.
- 8:03Speaker 9: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 9: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 9: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:36Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46Speaker 9: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51Speaker 9: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

- 10:00Speaker 5: It's always a boy growing up on a farm in Tennessee,
- 10:02Speaker 5: I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only in awe
- 10:05Speaker 5: of their beauty and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic.
- 10:08Speaker 5: Just look at the birds who gather supplies to build nests,
- 10:11Speaker 5: or Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
- 10:14Speaker 5: or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
- 10:17Speaker 5: secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
- 10:20Speaker 5: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
- 10:22Speaker 5: in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
- 10:25Speaker 5: by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
- 10:28Speaker 5: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
- 10:32Speaker 5: they also perform life saving work every day.
- 10:34Speaker 6: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
- 10:36Speaker 5: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
- 10:39Speaker 5: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
- 10:41Speaker 5: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
- 10:44Speaker 5: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
- 10:47Speaker 5: in need. So please join me an American Humane and
- 10:50Speaker 5: supporting our heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals
- 10:53Speaker 5: on this planet we inhabit together.

- 11:06Speaker 9: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
- 11:10Speaker 9: heart and brain.
- 11:12Speaker 6: Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 5: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and.

- 13:12Speaker 2: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
- 13:16Speaker 2: the second most famous Thomas and Charlottesman.
- 13:22Speaker 6: And the Generation does not in Camp.
- 13:26Speaker 15: He's a founder in the Backwards That's Upcoming, Agent says,
- 13:30Speaker 15: we need.
- 13:31Speaker 5: To be a part of it.
- 13:32Speaker 16: We need to lead a freend.
- 13:37Speaker 17: Papers want enough to shouts way Now it's time to
- 13:45Speaker 17: lead the capsule and be a day.
- 13:50Speaker 3: So we get to climb back on a giant, massive
- 13:54Speaker 3: explosion and fly off into space. And everyone says, why
- 14:00Speaker 3: do we need to be out on the moon. Why
- 14:02Speaker 3: do we need space stations? Because we forget that if
- 14:06Speaker 3: we are going to explore anything, you know, beyond our
- 14:10Speaker 3: own planet, we're going to need to start out there.
- 14:14Speaker 3: And yesterday's launch of the Artemis two, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 14:18Speaker 3: I got We will discuss. Don't just hollering at me.
- 14:23Speaker 15: Are we going to talk about Trump's speech?
- 14:27Speaker 3: Yes, we will talk about Trump's speech, But let's be fair.
- 14:31Speaker 3: Did you expect brother to get behind a podium and say, cheese,
- 14:34Speaker 3: I screwed up?
- 14:37Speaker 2: Oh?
- 14:38Speaker 3: I mean I listen to it. Our flagship station carried
- 14:41Speaker 3: it live. Might be one of the shortest speeches President
- 14:47Speaker 3: Trump's ever given. I think it was thirty five minutes
- 14:50Speaker 3: long or something like that. But we will get into
- 14:52Speaker 3: the datas of what he said. But I mean, unless
- 14:55Speaker 3: he got behind the man, did we underestimate these Iranians?
- 15:00Speaker 3: That would have been the only newsworthy thing President Trump said?
- 15:04Speaker 3: We're doing great, great kicking ass taken names film Middle eleven.
- 15:09Speaker 3: So I want to talk for a second spend a
- 15:11Speaker 3: little time kareem very funny. You send a story about
- 15:16Speaker 3: how NASA has finally decided that since all the rest
- 15:20Speaker 3: of the people measure in metrics, that they will drop
- 15:23Speaker 3: the imperials and measure in metrics as well. Yes, he says,
- 15:31Speaker 3: I'd like to applaud the metrics system for putting a
- 15:34Speaker 3: man on the moon. Well, we haven't put him there yet.
- 15:36Speaker 3: We're going to circle it, make sure it's still there,
- 15:39Speaker 3: check on our stuff, head back. It's like a drive by,
- 15:44Speaker 3: only without the gang bangers shooting out the window. But
- 15:49Speaker 3: last night's launch of the Artemis two should remind you
- 15:57Speaker 3: why we need the International Space Station. And you know,
- 16:02Speaker 3: NASA and the history of the National Aeronautics and Space
- 16:07Speaker 3: Administration has been pock marked with fits and starts of
- 16:13Speaker 3: this is what we need to do. Yeah, let's do that,
- 16:15Speaker 3: and it was like six months later. Because none of
- 16:18Speaker 3: this stuff happens fast enough for us. If there is
- 16:21Speaker 3: a story of our modern life, that is this exemplar
- 16:25Speaker 3: of our communal short attention span, it is space exploration.
- 16:31Speaker 3: Because they say we're going to go to the moon,
- 16:33Speaker 3: Everyone's like yeah. They all run out of the room
- 16:36Speaker 3: with John Belushi leading them and they get out in
- 16:41Speaker 3: the hallway and they say, when are we going, Well,
- 16:44Speaker 3: it'll be six eight months, and other stuff happens. There's
- 16:49Speaker 3: stuff comes along and we forget, and then when it happens,
- 16:53Speaker 3: we're like, oh, yeah, I think I remember something about that,
- 17:00Speaker 3: And I'm not sure there's a way you manage the
- 17:03Speaker 3: spin on space exploration to make it more salacious, instantaneous,
- 17:10Speaker 3: anything like that. But that's always been the issue, is
- 17:13Speaker 3: we rush out of the room with piss and vinegar
- 17:16Speaker 3: on the announcement of we're going to do something, and
- 17:20Speaker 3: then it takes forever to do it. Can you imagine
- 17:25Speaker 3: Queen Isabella saying, whatever happened to Chris and his ships.
- 17:32Speaker 15: That we gave him?
- 17:37Speaker 3: The Spaniards all rising up, what happened to those three
- 17:40Speaker 3: boats we gave Columbus and forever? So we forget things
- 17:51Speaker 3: like why we were building the International Space Station, which
- 17:55Speaker 3: was to be a launch platform. There was supposed to
- 17:59Speaker 3: be ships up. They're ready to launch, not needing the
- 18:03Speaker 3: massive explosions of highly volatile liquids that are required to
- 18:11Speaker 3: get through the atmosphere. Oh for the days when we
- 18:18Speaker 3: had a giant hole in the ozone right' it just.
- 18:21Speaker 15: Fly through there.
- 18:22Speaker 3: It's like a garage door. I'm kidding. Oh my gosh,
- 18:28Speaker 3: the Greenies are all on a march. Did you see
- 18:30Speaker 3: all that burning? Can't do that with a solar panel,
- 18:37Speaker 3: can you, jack. So the launch of Artemis two should
- 18:46Speaker 3: remind us why we are interested in being out there,
- 18:50Speaker 3: because like, it is easier to launch a seafaring vessel
- 18:56Speaker 3: from the water. I mean, ask the vik The Vikings
- 19:00Speaker 3: used to build their ships inland because that was easier
- 19:05Speaker 3: and then try to figure out a way to get
- 19:07Speaker 3: them to water.
- 19:08Speaker 15: Not sure who it was.
- 19:09Speaker 3: It could have been the Belfast, Northern Irish or somebody said, hey,
- 19:15Speaker 3: how about we build the boats in the water and
- 19:18Speaker 3: it might be easier to launch them. And we learned that,
- 19:22Speaker 3: and space launches of exploratory vessels is going to be
- 19:27Speaker 3: far more a cost effective and also be effective effective
- 19:32Speaker 3: because we don't have to get whatever it is, whether
- 19:35Speaker 3: it's a new satellite or anything else, out of the
- 19:38Speaker 3: Earth's atmosphere. Thus facilities on places like the Moon are
- 19:45Speaker 3: going to be handy. This is part of why the
- 19:49Speaker 3: Mars rovers are out there saying, well, given that Mars
- 19:53Speaker 3: has more gravity and is potentially a little bit more
- 19:58Speaker 3: earth like. Would it be better have facilities that would
- 20:02Speaker 3: build this stuff and launch this stuff there, or should
- 20:05Speaker 3: we just accept the fact that, you know, in a
- 20:08Speaker 3: few days travel we can be at the Moon and
- 20:12Speaker 3: just use that devoid of really almost any gravity whatsoever.
- 20:17Speaker 3: And and so we launch and we say, wow, that
- 20:26Speaker 3: was really cool. What are they doing again? It's a flyby,
- 20:30Speaker 3: it's a drive by, it's a proof of concept, it's
- 20:36Speaker 3: a yeah, we can do this. Here are some of
- 20:40Speaker 3: the numbers. That's Kareem pointed out. Let's do it in
- 20:42Speaker 3: kilometers this time. But humanity is, of all things a
- 20:54Speaker 3: creature of exploration. We like to poke around and say
- 20:58Speaker 3: what's going on here? And the glory days of humanity,
- 21:05Speaker 3: not to wax poetic, have always been as we explore.
- 21:13Speaker 3: And at least we don't have to be accused of,
- 21:20Speaker 3: I don't know, what was the leftist say, usurping the
- 21:25Speaker 3: indigenous peoples of the Moon. If we build a base
- 21:28Speaker 3: out there to oh, I don't know, manufacture satellites and
- 21:33Speaker 3: telescopes and other matters that would go off into space
- 21:37Speaker 3: far more easily if we just kick them off of
- 21:40Speaker 3: the Moon and let them go that way, use a
- 21:43Speaker 3: little gravity. Who knows we might even be able to
- 21:46Speaker 3: figure out how to get a space warp together and
- 21:50Speaker 3: actually be able to travel faster than the speed of
- 21:53Speaker 3: light because we wouldn't actually be moving ourselves, we'd be
- 21:56Speaker 3: moving space. And now I'm starting to sound like Montgomery got.
- 22:02Speaker 9: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
- 22:06Speaker 6: Yes?
- 22:07Speaker 9: Actually three known gas is I I'm doctor Mitch, and
- 22:12Speaker 9: nitric oxide is a gas that's readily made all day
- 22:16Speaker 9: long to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood
- 22:20Speaker 9: vessel walls. By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
- 22:27Speaker 9: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 22:31Speaker 9: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this

- 24:07Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 24:12Speaker 9: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26Speaker 9: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:41Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 24:45Speaker 9: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

- 29:06Speaker 3: hundred and thirteen pages of documents have been released by
- 29:16Speaker 3: US Surgeon General Vivek Murphy Pardon me regarding US Surgeon
- 29:27Speaker 3: General Vivek Murthy. Under the Biden administration in twenty and
- 29:32Speaker 3: twenty one, the administration coordinated speeches, media appearances, and a
- 29:45Speaker 3: push to the media networks of America for a one
- 29:49Speaker 3: sided COVID nineteen response narrative that, according to the documents,
- 29:56Speaker 3: contradicted underlying scientific research.
- 30:01Speaker 12: I know, I know, I know, I know.
- 30:02Speaker 3: That's you're looking at your radio saying Joe, I think
- 30:05Speaker 3: the word you're looking for is duh. Well, we knew this,
- 30:11Speaker 3: We knew this faster than you could say. Your YouTube
- 30:14Speaker 3: channel has been suspended, having had that happen to be
- 30:21Speaker 3: multiple times for having the temerity to interview folks like
- 30:25Speaker 3: doctor Paul Marrick, who was, prior to the onset of
- 30:30Speaker 3: SARS Cove two, considered one of the pre eminent emergency
- 30:36Speaker 3: room doctors on the planet this planet, and then he
- 30:42Speaker 3: had the temerity to start treating sick people with readily available,
- 30:47Speaker 3: safe and effective medicines to make them well again. But
- 30:53Speaker 3: it wasn't approved by the FDA. Oh, but the FDA
- 30:57Speaker 3: will approve another GLP one fast tracking more GLP one injections.
- 31:05Speaker 3: But there are numerous life saving treatments that one can
- 31:10Speaker 3: only get overseas because the FDA doesn't want that. And
- 31:18Speaker 3: at some point the FDA is going to just have
- 31:20Speaker 3: to change its motto to the expression, if you can't
- 31:27Speaker 3: be part of the solution, you can certainly make good
- 31:30Speaker 3: money promulgating the problem. Documents, like I said, four hundred
- 31:39Speaker 3: and thirteen pages of the stuff, some of it involving
- 31:42Speaker 3: veterans suicide as well, which is an interesting part of
- 31:45Speaker 3: this and the military because, as doctor Robert Malone has
- 31:50Speaker 3: told the listeners in the adherents of this program and
- 31:56Speaker 3: anyone who has read his book cy War, doctor Robert Loan,
- 32:00Speaker 3: the man who pioneered mRNA research only to find it
- 32:05Speaker 3: co opted by the government to create install vas vaccine templates,
- 32:13Speaker 3: just add bioweapon and stir. When he discovered why they
- 32:19Speaker 3: needed to take his mRNA research, it became even more
- 32:23Speaker 3: acute for him because you almost understand I mean, these
- 32:29Speaker 3: Franken vaccines, these vaccine templates, what I really refer to
- 32:36Speaker 3: them as exist mostly because things like SARS Cove two
- 32:43Speaker 3: are bioweapons. They are bioweapons that slip through a loophole
- 32:51Speaker 3: in the Geneva Convention, because the Geneva Convention says bioweapons
- 32:56Speaker 3: are verboten. If they kill someone, if they just make
- 33:01Speaker 3: them really really sick, you're good. And all of a sudden,
- 33:07Speaker 3: it all starts to make sense. China develops, through its
- 33:11Speaker 3: gain of function labs that we paid for a bio
- 33:14Speaker 3: weapon that we didn't perhaps pay for, but we should
- 33:18Speaker 3: have known they were doing, drops it on some of
- 33:23Speaker 3: their own citizens, because that's what they do. They've got
- 33:27Speaker 3: so many of them. Good golly. Then either it jumps
- 33:35Speaker 3: the lab if you want to take their narrative of it,
- 33:39Speaker 3: or some of it conveniently gets onto some cruise ships
- 33:42Speaker 3: heading back to the Pacific Northwest and you can take
- 33:49Speaker 3: And there's a reasonable argument to be made that China,
- 33:53Speaker 3: teetering on economic collapse at the time, said you know,
- 33:56Speaker 3: we really need to stop the rest of the world
- 34:00Speaker 3: a little bit. And the reset isn't so much. You know,
- 34:08Speaker 3: your currency market was about China getting a chance to
- 34:12Speaker 3: catch up economically because they were about to collapse under
- 34:16Speaker 3: the weight of their property rights, property tax based economy
- 34:24Speaker 3: that yuon is really built on dirt and the value
- 34:28Speaker 3: of dirt in a government that determines what the value
- 34:31Speaker 3: of something is. So yes, currency manipulation by any other name. Right,
- 34:39Speaker 3: So you look at all those points, and these are
- 34:41Speaker 3: the things that we're getting people banned from social media.
- 34:45Speaker 3: And now these documents covering a period from July of
- 34:49Speaker 3: twenty twenty one over two years through Foyer requests from
- 34:57Speaker 3: Protect the Public Trust also show that the Biden administration
- 35:06Speaker 3: used terms like misinformation. Michael Chamberlain said in an interview
- 35:11Speaker 3: with Newsmax. They sidelined science when it was inconvenient and
- 35:15Speaker 3: pushed tech companies to censor information when it turned out
- 35:19Speaker 3: to be true. Now that's a story we've reported to
- 35:22Speaker 3: you before. YouTube, Google alphabet at the end of the
- 35:27Speaker 3: Daisy chain, as well as Meta both have admitted to
- 35:31Speaker 3: being pressured. So did x now Elon Musk, releasing documents
- 35:36Speaker 3: from the federal government at least a year ago showing
- 35:45Speaker 3: that they were pressured pressured by the government over regulatory
- 35:50Speaker 3: issues to sell the story of safe and effective, not
- 36:01Speaker 3: safe but very effective. And there are still people to
- 36:06Speaker 3: this day. You tell me at four three, four eight
- 36:09Speaker 3: eight two four two one seven, don't you still see
- 36:12Speaker 3: people walking down the side of the road in your
- 36:16Speaker 3: neighborhood wearing a woke mask, completely alone, not even with
- 36:23Speaker 3: a pet. I see them all the time. Was it
- 36:30Speaker 3: a trial balloon? Was it an op to see what
- 36:32Speaker 3: we'd accept, how many of our individual rights and freedoms
- 36:36Speaker 3: we'd sign off? And to this moment, as we sit
- 36:43Speaker 3: here seventeen minutes before the top of the hour on
- 36:48Speaker 3: April second, twenty twenty six, I sit here and still
- 36:52Speaker 3: a gape at the idea that almost to a man, woman,
- 36:56Speaker 3: and child, this zealous advocates for Roe versus Wade as
- 37:02Speaker 3: Supreme Court ruling based on the government not being permitted
- 37:08Speaker 3: to know what you do with your doctor, whoever that
- 37:12Speaker 3: doctor may be. We're the ones most ardently hollering for
- 37:17Speaker 3: vaccine cards and contact tracing.
- 37:26Speaker 2: It might be.
- 37:29Speaker 3: As history is written of this era in human history.
- 37:32Speaker 3: Perhaps one of the most fascinating orwellian bits is that
- 37:36Speaker 3: you'll take a group that almost genue flex at the
- 37:41Speaker 3: altar of a medical privacy ruling Roe versus Wade, insisting
- 37:47Speaker 3: that everyone need to have a vaccine card to show
- 37:53Speaker 3: the world what they did with their doctor, and a
- 37:56Speaker 3: website so that you can track who is sick in
- 37:59Speaker 3: your neighborhood.

- 44:23Speaker 3: So I've got a chance to sit down and you
- 44:26Speaker 3: can see the whole thing I think coming up today
- 44:29Speaker 3: at Daily Signal dot com. Sat down with former Virginia
- 44:33Speaker 3: Governor George Allen. That's his nickname for me is set
- 44:36Speaker 3: him up Joe, former US senator presidential candidates. The last
- 44:44Speaker 3: time George and I worked together was five years ago
- 44:48Speaker 3: when we successfully managed to get Virginians to support the
- 44:53Speaker 3: idea of taking the district drawing, congressional and otherwise out
- 45:00Speaker 3: of the hands of politicians and put them into the
- 45:03Speaker 3: hands of a nonpartisan commission, and failing that, the Virginia
- 45:08Speaker 3: Supreme Court, and as all the other attempts, I think
- 45:12Speaker 3: we're still waiting on a couple of other states to
- 45:16Speaker 3: make their decisions reguarding mid mid season redistricting. Virginia is
- 45:24Speaker 3: in the midst of voting, nineteen days remaining in Virginia's
- 45:28Speaker 3: vote on that, and George Allen reminded everyone of how
- 45:34Speaker 3: many people supported the idea of taking this process away
- 45:39Speaker 3: from the politicians.
- 45:41Speaker 23: Sixty six percent of the voters two point seven million
- 45:45Speaker 23: voters in Virginia said yes, we want to have fair districts.
- 45:50Speaker 23: We don't want these politicians jerry rigging elections picking out
- 45:54Speaker 23: what voters will vote for them, rather than the people
- 45:57Speaker 23: deciding who I want to have as their representatives. And
- 46:02Speaker 23: so it's gone very well until now. And I will
- 46:07Speaker 23: say this, our group is a bipartisan group. Our no
- 46:10Speaker 23: jerry Mandering Virginia group is bipartisan. As we were many
- 46:13Speaker 23: of them back five six years ago. This was precipitated,
- 46:20Speaker 23: and it was by President Trump urging the Texas Republicans
- 46:26Speaker 23: to Jerrymander in this unusual way mid decade.
- 46:30Speaker 3: This is I want to jump in here, and you've
- 46:34Speaker 3: probably heard me say, but I want to resay it
- 46:36Speaker 3: just for those and the keyboard warriors. What George is
- 46:40Speaker 3: about to say, I agree with. This was one of
- 46:43Speaker 3: those moments where I wish the President hadn't responded to
- 46:48Speaker 3: the reporter's question. And again this was not the President
- 46:51Speaker 3: just wistfully saying, hey, it would be great if he
- 46:54Speaker 3: had been approached by a reporter regarding the court order
- 46:59Speaker 3: that said had to redraw their districts because they had
- 47:04Speaker 3: failed to make sure communities of Latino origin had been divided. Anyway,
- 47:10Speaker 3: back to our visit with George Allen.
- 47:12Speaker 23: Very abnormal and you've probably heard me say this through
- 47:16Speaker 23: the years, Texas. I wish our policies in our whole
- 47:20Speaker 23: country had the audacity and policies of Texas. We'd be
- 47:24Speaker 23: much more free and prosperous.
- 47:26Speaker 6: But they were wrong.
- 47:28Speaker 23: And this I think the President was wrong, and I
- 47:30Speaker 23: think the Texas Republicans are wrong. Well, so they did that.
- 47:34Speaker 23: Then California washed it all out by them Jerry manderin
- 47:39Speaker 23: mid then you know so, and you can look at
- 47:42Speaker 23: what Texas did was wrong, North Carolina, Missouri. However, there's
- 47:46Speaker 23: some examples of principal leadership rather than the hypocritical situational
- 47:54Speaker 23: principles that we have these days prevalent in politics. And
- 47:57Speaker 23: you had South Carolina Republicans, Kansas Republicans saying no, we're
- 48:02Speaker 23: not going to do it, and the most prominent of
- 48:03Speaker 23: all were the Indiana Republicans who said no, we're not
- 48:06Speaker 23: going to do it.
- 48:08Speaker 3: You will also note in here there's not a lot
- 48:10Speaker 3: of Democrats that said no, we're not going to do it.
- 48:13Speaker 3: And that's where Virginia comes into play, because the Democrats
- 48:17Speaker 3: in Virginia have a chance to join that list of
- 48:19Speaker 3: people saying no, I don't think this is how it's
- 48:21Speaker 3: supposed to work.
- 48:22Speaker 23: And they got blasted by President Trump's political people. But
- 48:28Speaker 23: I was publicly on it, do a radio show on
- 48:31Speaker 23: WRVA every Friday morning, and I was saying, no, what
- 48:34Speaker 23: they did in Indiana, the Republicans was a right thing
- 48:37Speaker 23: to do, rather than doing it going along with this
- 48:40Speaker 23: abnormal approach. Then you even have some principal Democrats in
- 48:44Speaker 23: Maryland who are refusing to do it. So let's not
- 48:47Speaker 23: just look at what are the worst states. Let's look
- 48:49Speaker 23: at the ones who have acted admirably. Now Here we
- 48:52Speaker 23: are in Virginia. The way that they've gone about this
- 48:56Speaker 23: is so wrong. They rushed this thing through two days
- 48:59Speaker 23: before the end of voting. Virginia doesn't have election day,
- 49:02Speaker 23: we have election season. For forty five days.
- 49:05Speaker 6: There wasn't a.
- 49:06Speaker 23: Single person And the reason you have for your listeners
- 49:10Speaker 23: and viewers, the reason Virginia has a process by which
- 49:15Speaker 23: you amend the constitution has good reason and rationale behind it.
- 49:20Speaker 6: You pass it once.
- 49:22Speaker 23: And then you have an election of the House of
- 49:25Speaker 23: Delegates and possibly governor, and then after that election, you
- 49:30Speaker 23: pass it again in the exact same form, not a
- 49:34Speaker 23: common nothing changed.
- 49:36Speaker 2: Now.
- 49:36Speaker 23: The reason for that is that in that intervening election,
- 49:39Speaker 23: people have a change to discuss it, to peruse it,
- 49:43Speaker 23: to understand it.
- 49:45Speaker 6: And what they did.
- 49:46Speaker 23: There wasn't a single candidate for the House of Delegates,
- 49:50Speaker 23: nor governor, any statewide officers saying elect me. I'm going
- 49:54Speaker 23: to go in there and we're going to gerrymander districts.
- 49:56Speaker 23: We're going to cut the Shenandoah Valley five different ways.
- 49:59Speaker 23: We're going to sure they're represented by Northern Virginia, and
- 50:03Speaker 23: we're going to have suburbs of Richmond put in with
- 50:05Speaker 23: Northern Virginia. We're going to put Matthews County in the
- 50:08Speaker 23: Chesapeake Bay rural areas in with Northern Virginia. Not a
- 50:12Speaker 23: one of them, not a one of them. But note
- 50:15Speaker 23: they all were talking about three other constitutional amendments, one
- 50:18Speaker 23: on abortion or reproductive rights, another constitutional amendment to restore
- 50:24Speaker 23: voting rights for convicted felons, and another one for gay
- 50:28Speaker 23: marriage or marriage equality. And they were all saying that
- 50:31Speaker 23: Democrats and Republicans or some of them were saying, well,
- 50:34Speaker 23: I don't like this one, or I like that, or whatever.
- 50:37Speaker 6: The point is. It was part of the debate.
- 50:40Speaker 23: It was part of the consideration for the voters, the
- 50:43Speaker 23: owners of the government, the people, and those three constitutional
- 50:48Speaker 23: amendments have all been passed again in this recent session
- 50:51Speaker 23: of the General Assembly, and they'll be on the ballot
- 50:54Speaker 23: in November, not on April twenty first. No one's considering
- 50:59Speaker 23: voting on April twenty first, And so they're ramming this through.
- 51:03Speaker 23: They don't want people to know. They're spending twenty eight
- 51:06Speaker 23: million dollars so far, and this is money from New
- 51:09Speaker 23: York and DC and California trying to get Bagel and
- 51:12Speaker 23: Sucker Virginians into this jerry rigging of elections. And they
- 51:19Speaker 23: don't want people to see these maps. Have you put
- 51:21Speaker 23: a sixth grader, excuse me, a six year old you
- 51:24Speaker 23: put the maps of the current maps for Congress, say okay,
- 51:27Speaker 23: that makes sense, and then you look at these others.
- 51:29Speaker 23: They'll say, well, that kind of looks like a lobster.
- 51:32Speaker 23: Well that one kind of looks like a giraffe.
- 51:35Speaker 3: And they start drawing, coloring them in and some of
- 51:37Speaker 3: them were blue, some of them are red. Give them
- 51:39Speaker 3: crayons because it's about the same as what we had
- 51:43Speaker 3: with the jerrymanderin By the way, he mentions Maryland, Maryland
- 51:46Speaker 3: still in play, and it's I think it's The Leader
- 51:51Speaker 3: of the Senate, Bill Ferguson, says that he's not marshaling
- 51:58Speaker 3: the votes because he can what they're trying to do
- 52:01Speaker 3: illegal and unconstitutional. See, you know what happens is you
- 52:06Speaker 3: have mostly Democrats in Maryland, and eventually some of them
- 52:09Speaker 3: start sounding like other people than Democrats. I guess is
- 52:14Speaker 3: how it winds up working. And then there are court
- 52:17Speaker 3: proceedings still going on in Virginia that might render it
- 52:21Speaker 3: mood anyway, because there were at least three separate laws
- 52:24Speaker 3: that were broken in the process for it, but no
- 52:27Speaker 3: jerrymanderingva dot Org is George's website, along with Brian Cannon,
- 52:33Speaker 3: who we spoke to last week. I'll be out on
- 52:35Speaker 3: the road with some of those as well. Yes, I'm
- 52:37Speaker 3: on the board for this as well, because we worked
- 52:40Speaker 3: hard to get this across, convincing Republicans and Democrats alike
- 52:45Speaker 3: to take this out of the hands of politicians. And
- 52:48Speaker 3: this is a masterclass.
- 52:49Speaker 18: Is why crime across the country is at an all
- 52:53Speaker 18: time high. It feels like even a family road trip
- 52:56Speaker 18: is taking a risk. We don't want the feeling of
- 52:58Speaker 18: being unprotected andulnerable. We found get CCL dot com. Get
