Speaker 1 (00:03):
We're not violating any loss.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Avoiding prosecution isn't the standard that I was shooting for.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
the second most famous Thomas and Charlotte's.
Speaker 4 (00:15):
Will George said, steal me stem.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
You have a day at least for work. When the
sun comes up, drops a.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
Cut of the scood.
Speaker 5 (00:24):
Then Joey has.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Everything agenda, all the treasures out of needs.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
No one that Joe's as smiled, he only eggs.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Be let them be.
Speaker 6 (00:38):
Joe, thank you for letting me be of service to
you this morning. I want to keep your hands out
of the bowl of candy. It's for the trigger treaters.
Four three four eight eight two four two one seven
is how we do it, you know the business model.
We tell you what went on. Then we'll tell you
what we see as we reach in between the lines
(01:01):
of what went on. But most importantly, we want to
know how what went on impacted you where you are.
The singular, most important local aspect of your radio station
is you, and the more of you we talk to,
the better we understand the impacts of all of the stuff.
As Carl Sagan used to call it, going on. I
(01:22):
think the farmers call it something else, but we know
that it is impacting folks and sometimes just in their mood.
And that's the sad part, is that it's sometimes just
a narrative to make you feel. It's about how you feel,
it's about your emotions, and that's not fair. That's manipulative.
(01:47):
And it bothers me because the same way it used
to bother me when I would watch gas.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Lighting going on.
Speaker 6 (01:53):
I didn't know the phrase when I was in high school,
but I would see, you know, the other guys in
my class girls badly, and I would say, this is
just wrong. And I would see manipulative girls treating guys
badly too, And it's just something that we have to
stand up against because if we don't stand up against it,
(02:18):
it's just going to continue more and more and more,
because it's all about democratcy. It's all about winning that
next vote, that next election. And in a world where
now we've devolved into picking our own voters and redrawing
districts just specifically to give a political party and a
(02:41):
political ideology without basis for a majority of an elective majority,
exiling entire swaths of a population to political irrelevancy based
on how you draw political districts have to stand up.
So we have to rally together. We must stand together,
(03:06):
or certainly we will all hang apart. And I'm not
talking about, you know, the physical kind, but they will
hang us out to dry our first things on this
Tuesday morning, President Donald Trump began one of the busiest
days on his Asia trip today by greeting the new
Japanese Prime Minister, Senna Takaichi. He's going to go and
(03:30):
speak to US troops, support an aircraft carrier, and visit
with Japanese business leaders. Trump called Takeichi's role as Japan's
first female prime minister a big deal. Anything I can
do to help Japan, we will be there. Trump said,
we are an ally ally at the strongest level. They
(03:52):
did sign a framework agreement for securing the supply of
critical minerals and rare earths through mining and processing. The
White issued a statement on the agreement, saying it was
signed during Trump's visits and as it is part of
a wider Asia strategy to strengthen rare earth supply chains
(04:13):
for renewable energy, batteries and electronics and cars. Treasury Secretary
Scott Besson Monday confirmed the names of five candidates to
replace Jerome Powell as chair of the Federal Reserve on
Air Force one. Besson said he would engage in a
second round of interviews in the coming weeks to present
(04:34):
a good slate of candidates to President Trump. Right after Thanksgiving,
Fox News is reporting of a mass shake up inside
the offices of the US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement belying
a power battle between ICE Director Todd Lyons and Border
(04:55):
Todd Homan and DHS Secretary Christy Nomes, Corey leunda Vsky
and Border Patrol Commander Greg Baveno. They've pushed for a
more aggressive approach than Holman has been taking. They want
to target anyone in the US illegally, according to Fox News,
to boost deportation numbers rather than just go after illegals
(05:19):
who have committed crimes. Small Business Administration Administrator Kelly Laffer
says that Democrats have disgracefully driven the small business economy
into a ditch, calling the liberals intent of hurting small
businesses disgraceful. Prior to the shutdown, small business confidence was
(05:43):
at a seven year high, she said, and Senate Majority
Leader John Thune said he spoke with President Trump's Sunday
night about ending the shutdown and strategizing he would like
it as all of us do, to get the government reopened.
This are our first things.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Hi.
Speaker 7 (06:06):
This is Bud Foster, co host of Foster and Friends
and former Virginia Tech football coach. When I brought the
fame lunch fail to our team, it symbolized teamwork. The
word win stood for what's important. Now, the Lunch Pail
Defense Foundation realizes the importance of helping others. Our foundation
is a nonprofit corporation that helps fund academic scholarship for
(06:26):
eligible high school students.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Since two thousand and.

hundred thousand dollars and awarded over forty individual scholarships. We
also support an organ transplant program in conjunction with Duke
University Medical Center. For information regarding corporate sponsorship or becoming

Tali considered by most Optimized curcumin is one of the
few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
(08:22):
nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
(08:46):
in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

Speaker 1 (09:02):
I'm Andrews. Saul, Commission of Self Security. I'm here to
warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
are not from US. Real solid security employees will never
(09:25):
threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
call like this, hang up. Never give the call of
your personal information like your social Security number or bank account,
or send money in any form cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
(09:46):
enforcement on the Office of the Inspector General at OIG
dot SSA dot gov. Share this information with your friends
and family.
Speaker 9 (09:58):
Hi, everybody, I'm Jack Hannah, and it's always a boy.
Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
with animals. I'm not only in alle of their beauty
and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
at the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or
Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
(10:20):
jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
they also perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep
us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of
whom suffer from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them
(10:41):
when there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs
have a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to
society and help those in need. So please join me
An American Humane and supporting our heroic working dogs and
all the amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together.

Speaker 10 (11:00):
Bruh, that's buzzed. Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
Speaker 11 (11:05):
And now a speech.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
art and brain.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Who's with me?
Speaker 10 (11:13):
Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
brain is saying when it's time to go home.
Speaker 12 (11:18):
Somebody call me a ride.
Speaker 13 (11:19):
Love that guy, me too.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
Speaker 14 (11:28):
Did you know that more than half our household energy
costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
(11:49):
That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs when
you shop for a new appliance, look for the energy
star logo and read the energy.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Guide label, and there are day to day things you
can do.
Speaker 14 (12:08):
Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,
close fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep
air filters clean. For more tips on saving money by
reducing your energy waste, check out FTC dot gov slash green,
a tip from the Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer
protection agency.
Speaker 15 (12:29):
As a family member or friend, you may be the
first to notice when a veteran you love has been
going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
anger could be a sign of a larger health concern,
but help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
at makethconnection dot net and learn how you can support
(12:52):
the veterans in your life. Treatment works, recovery is possible.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
From the home of the First Amendment. First thing today, So.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
I want to pick up with and we'll get into
one of the most hysterical things. And if Republicans had
done what Virginia Democrats had done, it would be front
page news everywhere. It would be party in disarrayed. We'll
get into that. Stick a pin into that. More drawings
coming up for Trans Siberian Orchestra tickets are a special
(13:56):
deal where all the places where this program is heard
and Trans Siberian Orchestra will be performing. We have tickets
for each one of these shows and you enter at
Joe Thomas in the Morning dot com. But I want
to pick up with this Foxnews report on the schism
(14:18):
in the Department of Homeland Security, specifically it's division for
Immigration and Customs Enforcement. So as the whistleblowers are telling
Fox News, and given what I know of the access
to Fox News, I have to see that this is
(14:40):
coming from the side of Christinome and Corey Lewandowski and
the political side of law enforcement. But it's a bigger
issue and you face it on your streets every day.
It is the battle between the political versus the police.
(15:00):
And one of the reasons the most important in my
mind law enforcement office that you can have is your
elected constitutional sheriff. These are the people who you elect,
so if you have an issue with law enforcement in
your community, you can change it. They're not appointees of
(15:24):
a political body, and the fact that we don't have
as much political policing as we do is a credit
to the men and women who wear the uniforms and
to most of the people who hold elected office to
not fall prey to this idea of I need to
(15:47):
arrest a lot of people because I'm in a re
election campaign and you've seen this. DA's have fallen prey
to this. Attorneys general have fallen prey to this. Governors,
mayors need to look like I'm tough on crime. When
we used to broadcast out of the Philadelphia area, the
mayor of Philadelphia at the time, and I kid you not,
(16:10):
his name is Nutter, So yes, Philadelphia for years had
a mayor Nutter. Mayor Nutter would go on these spasms
where he would almost literally put every Philadelphia police officer
in a ten or twenty square block area to clean
(16:32):
up crime. And you always knew what was going on
because crime would go up in cities like Camden, New Jersey,
and Lancaster, Pennsylvania, because the criminals would be like, damn,
neighborhoods shut down for the weekend. Let's go do something
somewhere else, like putting on the lights. Cockroaches are going
(16:54):
somewhere just because you can't see. But he would do
it for the show of look, I'm trying to protect
your neighborhood, and do you really need to ask me
what political party Michael Nutter was. I mean, come on,
first off, he was the mayor of Philadelphia in the
(17:17):
early two thousands. Yeah, no, he was not a Republican. No, but.
Speaker 15 (17:26):
That is.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
A great exemplar of what happens when the political takes
over the police. I need you to arrest these people
red flag laws or another great place where the political
comes in and tries to police rather than allowing law
enforcement to invest crimes, investigate crimes when they happen so
(17:51):
that you can find the guilty party, bring them in
front of a jury of their peers where they can
have a fair trial, and give and all the access
to defense that they can have. And according to Fox News,
this is a battle over statistics, which is exactly what
(18:12):
happens every time a DA or a mayor or a
governor wants to be seen as tough on crime, they
want to gin up the statistics. And I've talked to
Tom Homan four years, not since he took over at
ICE in twenty twenty four, but right before it, he
(18:33):
visited this program and talked about how they were just
not going to cot in any nonsense. They were going
to go arrest people who are in this country illegally
and send them back to the countries that they are
legally citizens of, period, full stop. And amongst the people
(18:55):
who have made appearances on this program, few or as
popular as Tom Homan. And if you want to talk
about a guy in the public arena that's cut from
central casting, I mean he's like the Sean Connery character
in The Untouchables. Now there is a part of me
(19:23):
that says this is designed to kneecap and pull the
rugout from under some of these mostly peaceful protests against
ICE that go on on a seemingly regularly scheduled basis,
organized and coordinated with identical signs in all these different
(19:45):
cities in America, no Kings, no Kings, to electric boogoloo, etc.
All saying we don't want ice because we don't like ice.
But if ICE is being challenged by the DH, does
that soften the political view of Republicans that support Donald Trump?
(20:08):
Because Donald Trump is DHS, Donald Trump is Christy Nome
and Corey Lewandowski, Tom Homan and todd lyons are out
on an island their law enforcement. They're the guys that
(20:28):
direct the men and women in the vests with the masks.
But according to reports, this is about ginning up higher statistics,
arresting more people so you can have more deportations. And
(20:51):
is this because they've been so successful at both arresting
and deporting non citizens from the country that we're starting
to see a downturn in the statistical output and now
the politicians are concerned that it's happening too soon, too fast.
(21:11):
We can't make hay out of this for the midterms.
This is what always happens when police gets overwhelmed or
challenged by the political and it's always dangerous and it's
always a blessing to our liberties when we have law
(21:31):
enforcement stand up against it. But this is why, as
I said at the onset, constitutional sheriffs, the elected district attorneys,
these are the people that are generally speaking, your firewall
against just political operations designed to help getting a mayor
(21:51):
or a governor, or a president or a congressman re
elected because of statistics, not necessarily justice.
Speaker 16 (22:01):
Hey I Brandt, and her name is shay I Love.
She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
for because of a surgery. She just went through.
Speaker 17 (22:09):
Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
talk about all the time, which is meta share. That
is right.
Speaker 16 (22:14):
Yeah, So what was your experience like with meta share
and health care ability?
Speaker 17 (22:18):
Honestly, brandt seamless and what a blessing that is. When
you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was,
members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
me tell you, having people pray with you when you
call in with your need that.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
Is just refreshing.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Yes, that's what it is.
Speaker 16 (22:35):
I keep telling people. People love meta share and they
love saving money. The typical family can save five hundred
dollars a month.
Speaker 17 (22:42):
I am very thankful for meta share. It is so different,
and I mean different in a very very good way.
Speaker 16 (22:48):
It is good different.

Hi.
Speaker 19 (23:01):
I'm doctor Michael Bailey, President of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases. AI supports
veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
(23:25):
personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
(23:47):
your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
center of our profession. For more information on AI and

Speaker 21 (28:24):
Immediately.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas, so.
Speaker 6 (28:32):
As pathetic as things can get, the Virginia General Assembly
here in our flagship state, has really taken the here
hold my beer rhetoric beyond and this is the amazing thing.
So they call this special session, and we reported to
you on this program It was literally within twelve hours
(28:56):
of Eric Holder and the National Demochocratic Redistricting Committee dropping
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars into the pockets of
both Abigail Spanberger and Democrat leadership in the House. So
(29:21):
if a Republican majority had done something as nit witted
and aduled as this, the front pages of every blog
and every news online news source would be inept Republicans
doing the bidding of insert shadowy Republican group, Koch Brothers,
(29:44):
Americans for Prosperity whatever. However, the bad guy that they.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Want to point to.
Speaker 6 (29:54):
The MAGA. So what happened yes afternoon the Virginia General
Assembly trying to join the spasm of other states trying
to redistrict before the redistrict things that have happened in
Texas and North Carolina and Missouri and now Indiana has
(30:15):
called for a redistricting as well Virginia because it's one
of those states with a constitutional amendment on how districts
will be drawn, they have to play games and actually
go truly nuclear option on this. They are going to
blow up all process in the effort to get what
(30:39):
they want. But when we reported yesterday that this was
all bought and paid for by Eric Holder. I received
maybe a quarter of a dozen emails from people saying,
can you prove that? Can you prove that? Well, here
we go, because once they had gaveled in the session
(31:02):
yesterday afternoon around four, they voted on the fact that
they were there and what they were going to work on.
And this is one of those things where governments just
behaving without any sort of guard rails turns us into
a Third World nation. El presidente in some banana republic
(31:26):
in Central America can just say, you know what, I
don't like him, Write me a law that allows me
to arrest him and his whole family. And then the
leader of the presidio goes and writes a law, and
they passed the law because they'll go to prison if
they don't. That says you and your family are enemies
(31:47):
of the state and we can arrest you. That's what
we're doing now. We're just creating out of these piles
of laws that we've left on the side of the highway,
we go searching through them. And boy Ai has made
this easy. You see, you give the code of Virginia
(32:08):
or California or Massachusetts to artificial intelligence and say, find
me a legal precedent to do the thing that I
want to do, and it'll comb through four hundred years
of code and find the things you want to do.
(32:32):
And that's what Eric Holder did. However, the humans at
the other end of Eric Holder's funding stream forgot something.
They have no call to action, they have no law
to work on. So they all got there. They gabbled.
(32:54):
In This special session of the Virginia General Assembly is
called order first, arder of business. We vote on the
call for the special session, all in favor, Democrats all
say I Republicans all say nay, there's more Democrats than Republicans.
Washerans repeat. Now they say, and now we adjourn because
(33:16):
we don't have a law. They don't have the law
that they want the special session to address. They don't
have it. They don't have a law for them to
actually bring to the floor and say here's what we
want to vote on. And I'm sorry if this sounds fanciful,
(33:37):
but I imagine what happened is Thursday of last week,
Eric Holder looking around the country for places to get
his redistricting jerrymandering on realizing that there was a Democrat
gubernatorial candidate and after he figured out how to pronounce
(34:01):
her last name, called her and said, Abigail, it's a
sponge SpongeBob sponge spin sping spangler. No span Burger, right,
Abigail Spanberger. This is Eric Holder. You've never met me,
but I'm your boss. And here's what you're going to do.
I'm going to give you a whole crap ton of money,
(34:21):
and then you're going to redistrict your state and you're
going to draw it in a way where ten of
the eleven congressional districts will be blue. I know, I
know that Virginia generally is fifty three percent Democrat and
forty seven percent Republican. But we're going to make it
look like your like New York State, no even moor,
(34:44):
your New York City. And here's how you're going to
do it. Here's what the maps are going to look like.
I've seen mock ups of these maps. They build out
of urban areas. Where As Thomas Jefferson warned us in
the beginning, if we pile ourselves and this is quote
from Jefferson, if we pile ourselves upon one another in
(35:08):
European style cities, we will be open to the same
corruption that we see in these European style cities. He
knew this because when people are piled together, tightly packed
into an urban area, the feeling is a feeling of
(35:31):
out of control, that there's a cacophony of life going
on around you, and there needs to be a strong
man in charge, somebody who's calling the tunes. There needs
to be an authority figure making sense of the morass
of humanity. So we fall prey to the corruption of
(35:55):
the authoritarians just to make sense of it all. Somebody's
got to make the trains run on time, for heaven's sake.
That's the attitude. This is what Jefferson warned about big
European style cities. So what Virginia is going to do
(36:16):
is take all of its urban areas. Certainly Northern Virginia
is one, and the Richmond area and the Norfolk area
that's three, and then Roanoke, Lynchburg, Charlottesville, and they're going
to build the congressional districts out based on those urban areas.
(36:37):
And there's a phrase in Virginia's constitution, I think it's
also in the Texas Constitution regarding districts being compact and contiguous.
I mean you can't just like cross rivers and go
over the mountains just to grab more voters into this district.
But I've seen some of the models that they're bizarre,
(37:00):
but they're based around getting as many urban areas into
each congressional district so that those blue areas overwhelmed the
red areas, and that you would wind up with and
it may come out to be eight to three Democrats
over Republicans in Virginia. Also, again not the reason we
(37:23):
should be drawing districts based on what political party leads there.
And they're doing this in a state where the voters
don't register by political party, so they're just basing it
on the most recent election results. But when they arrived yesterday,
I don't know what they were expecting. Nobody over the
(37:44):
weekend could write up a law that says, here's what
we want to do. Eric Holder didn't send them a
template of what the National Democratic Redistricting Committee wants them
to pass. I'm sure he has one. Did they just
forget to bring it yesterday? Today?

Hi, it's Mark Falter, hosts of The Financial Fitness Show.
I strongly believe that no one should ever pay one
penny more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately,
for most hard working Americans, this just isn't the case.
Why because most people spend more time planning next weekends
getaway than trying to ensure they're going to pay less
(38:23):
than taxes. My financial fitness team has put together some
materials that I know are going to help you. It's
the Tax Savings Kit. Tax Savings Kit includes three things,
free tax analysis, top ten ways to pay less than taxes,

Exercise is hard, so was maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type two diabetes,

few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
(41:21):
Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is

Speaker 3 (44:10):
Absolute hundred to do list. Putting the radio on is
the first thing today. Well, there's no question that jerry
mandering is a threat to our democracy. It allows politicians
to pick their voters.
Speaker 6 (44:22):
Which is exactly what Eric Holder is doing these days
out there fundraising for all of these whether there's Prompt
fifty and sending big money into the Gavenussom Fund to
redraw the districts there and so laughable is this. I mean,
if I was Eric Holder right now, I would be
(44:43):
on the phone to the Speaker of the Virginia House,
Don Scott, just reaming him out. As I understand, Eric
Holder's temper is legend, and that's beyond the whole. When
they go low, we kick them. This screw up that
(45:04):
Virginia's Democrats. I don't think it's fatal. It's not like
they fumbled on the five yard line, but just to
be as embarrassing as they were to show up to
this special session and then not have anything to propose
regarding what this redistricting would look like. Because understand, Virginia
(45:25):
has a law that says, first we try a nonpartisan
redistricting commission. If that fails, and this is in the constitution,
the Virginia Supreme Court appoints a special master. And guess
which political party fought for this constitutional amendment. That's right,
(45:51):
the Democratic Party of Virginia. So there they were egg
on their face after demanding that have this non partisan
redistricting commission to avoid jerry man.
Speaker 3 (46:04):
No question, the jerry mandering is a threat to our democracy.
Speaker 6 (46:07):
Yes, so the Democrats said, we we have to stop
jerry mandering. So they invented this system. It's only five
years ago. This isn't like something that your grandfather's Democrats
put in. Many of the people who are still in
the House and Senate in Virginia are the ones who
(46:28):
voted for this. To show up and not even have
a piece of paper saying here's what we want to do.
I mean, it's if I was Eric Holder, I'd be
reaming some tookuses out Right now, Joel is on the
line with US at four three four eight eight two
four seven. Good morning, Joel. How are you doing this morning?
Speaker 23 (46:50):
Good morning, Joel. I'm doing okay. I don't know if
I want to. Can I click it back to the
immigration and.
Speaker 6 (46:57):
Talk Oh yeah, oh yeah, the Battle Royale. Talk about
that right now, because this is really and the reason
I packaged it the way I did is that you
see this on the streets of your city as well,
when the mayor wants the police chief to do something
but it's you know, it's questionable, and so the police
(47:19):
chief gets fired by the mayor and they hire a
new police chief or they force them out. I mean,
we lived through this in Charlotte's Fell, our flagship city.
I mean we were going through police chiefs faster than
some elected officials go through socks.
Speaker 23 (47:34):
I agree with you. I think if you look at
if you look at the whole picture, right, you have
probably a lot of illegal aliens here. And I say
that because that's in the US Code. It's not degrading
a person, right. I know you have people here. They
(47:54):
may be Eastern people, but you're still here illegally and
those could be people who came over with no documents,
or visa overstays, or even people who lied to get
green cards. And so my thing is, of course, so
I'm sure there's a lot of businesses that are knowingly
using illegal aliens, and I'm sure there's a lot of
(48:16):
police and law enforcement they just let it go by
because they're not you know, they're not doing anything out
of the ordinary, they're not hurting anybody. Then they even
frequent those restaurants or have them doing something. You see
people doing law care or or working in a business
or whatever. And so, but you're still here illegally. And
(48:38):
Christy No, Homeland Security and other commercials have been on
TV and they've talked about it, and they've they've set
it up or hey, if you're here illegally, you're allowed
to leave. We'll give you some money and we'll pay
for if your children are here or whatever, we'll you know,
let you deport. But those are the options, right, And
everybody's acting like somebody's crying fel and and of course
(49:01):
they said in the beginning, we're gonna we're gonna get
people that are here first that are criminals. But you're
still a criminal if you come here illegally. Oh, I
understand that, you know, And that's not a juxtaposition. It's
just that you need to enforce what the law is.
It's like it's like our courts, you know, they're they're
not doing what is on the law. They're not doing
mandating what is through the through the court systems. They're
(49:25):
just allowing things to be political. So you can't be
political with these positions.
Speaker 6 (49:30):
Well, and one of the things that I think is
interesting in this, if you believe the Fox News report,
and I'm sure it's driven by one particular side in this,
and it's not the one Tom Holman's on, is that
is that they want the numbers, the statistics to be bigger.
And I'm sorry, statistics are not how you do law enforcement.
(49:53):
And to say we want higher numbers, we want uh,
more detentions, more deportations to report, which is what Fox
News is saying to us, which is most likely what
somebody in Lewandowski or Nome's office has told them is
(50:16):
the problem. And and again you have to backtrack a
lot of these sources. So is this a whistleblower, Who's
who's trying to make Corey Lewandowski look bad or Christy
Nome because it's an unnamed source at Fox News saying
that that they're mad at Tom Homan because he's not
arresting enough people. Meanwhile, we've got the Democrats marching in
(50:38):
the street saying they're arresting half our communities. So I
guess Tom must be doing it right if everyone's mad
at him. But you have to be very careful because
if your if your job is to lead law enforcement,
you want them to be out there enforcing the laws justly.
(50:59):
And they are in a perilous spot now that you've
got this sovereign immunity cases where now police in a
lot of places and including Ice, can be prosecuted and
and then civilly chased down for behavior if it's proven
that they violated someone's rights. You've got to have it
buttoned up twice on Sunday before you go and raid
(51:22):
somebody's business. And we just had it here in Virginia.
Down in Hampton Roads, a car full of guys were
going to their gardening gig when Ice pulled them over,
and a guy took a runner and ran out into
the interstate and got hit and killed. It's tragic for him.
But why was he running because he knew Ice Ice
(51:44):
was not going to let him go finished cutting somebody's grass.
And then again back to your point about people employing
these people.
Speaker 23 (51:51):
Right because they're they're just as liable too, because aren't
you harboring and by betting a criminal, I mean they're
here illegally, they're they're not as citizen and it violates
the USC Code. I don't know what it is. I'm
not well, you don't have all those documents.
Speaker 6 (52:08):
But for years, for years, business work well yeah, yeah, yeah,
hang on, I just want you know, to make the
point though, for years business leaders and US Chamber of
Commerce amongst them, have fought back against real not real idea,
but everify that's what the program is called, right, because
it would put the business owners that employ these non
(52:30):
citizens in the in that kind of well used to
go after the Johns to crack down on prostitution. So
so you made the business owners responsible for the criminal
behavior of employing non citizens for lower wages.

were there's no hassles, there was no problem.

That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
of such an incredible ministry.
Speaker 22 (53:07):
Metas Share is a biblical approach to healthcare where Christians
share each other's medical expenses.
Speaker 4 (53:13):
Medishare is a family, a group of people that stick
with you through the hardest times of your life.
Speaker 22 (53:20):
Metashare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over thirty years
old and members have shared over eight billion dollars of
each other's medical bills.
Speaker 3 (53:28):
We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
You can focus on on supporting other people.
Speaker 6 (53:33):
Meta Share is affordable.
Speaker 7 (53:35):
Medishare is biblical.
Speaker 22 (53:36):
Medishare is family. Join thousands of Christians who can help
you save on your healthcare and support your family when
you need it. Call eight five five share forty eight
five five share forty. That's eight five five share forty
We're not violating any loss.

Speaker 3 (00:35):

Speaker 6 (00:38):
Joe, thank you for letting me be of service to
you this morning. I want to keep your hands out
of the bowl of candy. It's for the trigger treaters.
Four three four eight eight two four two one seven
is how we do it, you know the business model.
We tell you what went on. Then we'll tell you
what we see as we reach in between the lines
(01:01):
of what went on. But most importantly, we want to
know how what went on impacted you where you are.
The singular, most important local aspect of your radio station
is you, and the more of you we talk to,
the better we understand the impacts of all of the stuff.
As Carl Sagan used to call it, going on. I
(01:22):
think the farmers call it something else, but we know
that it is impacting folks and sometimes just in their mood.
And that's the sad part, is that it's sometimes just
a narrative to make you feel. It's about how you feel,
it's about your emotions, and that's not fair. That's manipulative.
(01:47):
And it bothers me because the same way it used
to bother me when I would watch gas.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Lighting going on.
Speaker 6 (01:53):
I didn't know the phrase when I was in high school,
but I would see, you know, the other guys in
my class girls badly, and I would say, this is
just wrong. And I would see manipulative girls treating guys
badly too, And it's just something that we have to
stand up against because if we don't stand up against it,
(02:18):
it's just going to continue more and more and more,
because it's all about democratcy. It's all about winning that
next vote, that next election. And in a world where
now we've devolved into picking our own voters and redrawing
districts just specifically to give a political party and a
(02:41):
political ideology without basis for a majority of an elective majority,
exiling entire swaths of a population to political irrelevancy based
on how you draw political districts have to stand up.
So we have to rally together. We must stand together,
(03:06):
or certainly we will all hang apart. And I'm not
talking about, you know, the physical kind, but they will
hang us out to dry our first things on this
Tuesday morning, President Donald Trump began one of the busiest
days on his Asia trip today by greeting the new
Japanese Prime Minister, Senna Takaichi. He's going to go and
(03:30):
speak to US troops, support an aircraft carrier, and visit
with Japanese business leaders. Trump called Takeichi's role as Japan's
first female prime minister a big deal. Anything I can
do to help Japan, we will be there. Trump said,
we are an ally ally at the strongest level. They
(03:52):
did sign a framework agreement for securing the supply of
critical minerals and rare earths through mining and processing. The
White issued a statement on the agreement, saying it was
signed during Trump's visits and as it is part of
a wider Asia strategy to strengthen rare earth supply chains
(04:13):
for renewable energy, batteries and electronics and cars. Treasury Secretary
Scott Besson Monday confirmed the names of five candidates to
replace Jerome Powell as chair of the Federal Reserve on
Air Force one. Besson said he would engage in a
second round of interviews in the coming weeks to present
(04:34):
a good slate of candidates to President Trump. Right after Thanksgiving,
Fox News is reporting of a mass shake up inside
the offices of the US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement belying
a power battle between ICE Director Todd Lyons and Border
(04:55):
Todd Homan and DHS Secretary Christy Nomes, Corey leunda Vsky
and Border Patrol Commander Greg Baveno. They've pushed for a
more aggressive approach than Holman has been taking. They want
to target anyone in the US illegally, according to Fox News,
to boost deportation numbers rather than just go after illegals
(05:19):
who have committed crimes. Small Business Administration Administrator Kelly Laffer
says that Democrats have disgracefully driven the small business economy
into a ditch, calling the liberals intent of hurting small
businesses disgraceful. Prior to the shutdown, small business confidence was
(05:43):
at a seven year high, she said, and Senate Majority
Leader John Thune said he spoke with President Trump's Sunday
night about ending the shutdown and strategizing he would like
it as all of us do, to get the government reopened.
This are our first things.

Hi, everybody, I'm Jack Hannah, and it's always a boy.
Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
with animals. I'm not only in alle of their beauty
and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
at the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or
Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
(10:20):
jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
they also perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep
us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of
whom suffer from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them
(10:41):
when there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs
have a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to
society and help those in need. So please join me

art and brain.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Who's with me?
Speaker 10 (11:13):
Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
brain is saying when it's time to go home.
Speaker 12 (11:18):
Somebody call me a ride.
Speaker 13 (11:19):
Love that guy, me too.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.

Did you know that more than half our household energy
costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
(11:49):
That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs when
you shop for a new appliance, look for the energy
star logo and read the energy.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Guide label, and there are day to day things you
can do.
Speaker 14 (12:08):
Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,
close fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep
air filters clean. For more tips on saving money by
reducing your energy waste, check out FTC dot gov slash green,

As a family member or friend, you may be the
first to notice when a veteran you love has been
going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
anger could be a sign of a larger health concern,
but help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
at makethconnection dot net and learn how you can support
(12:52):
the veterans in your life. Treatment works, recovery is possible.

From the home of the First Amendment. First thing today, So.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
I want to pick up with and we'll get into
one of the most hysterical things. And if Republicans had
done what Virginia Democrats had done, it would be front
page news everywhere. It would be party in disarrayed. We'll
get into that. Stick a pin into that. More drawings
coming up for Trans Siberian Orchestra tickets are a special
(13:56):
deal where all the places where this program is heard
and Trans Siberian Orchestra will be performing. We have tickets
for each one of these shows and you enter at
Joe Thomas in the Morning dot com. But I want
to pick up with this Foxnews report on the schism
(14:18):
in the Department of Homeland Security, specifically it's division for
Immigration and Customs Enforcement. So as the whistleblowers are telling
Fox News, and given what I know of the access
to Fox News, I have to see that this is
(14:40):
coming from the side of Christinome and Corey Lewandowski and
the political side of law enforcement. But it's a bigger
issue and you face it on your streets every day.
It is the battle between the political versus the police.
(15:00):
And one of the reasons the most important in my
mind law enforcement office that you can have is your
elected constitutional sheriff. These are the people who you elect,
so if you have an issue with law enforcement in
your community, you can change it. They're not appointees of
(15:24):
a political body, and the fact that we don't have
as much political policing as we do is a credit
to the men and women who wear the uniforms and
to most of the people who hold elected office to
not fall prey to this idea of I need to
(15:47):
arrest a lot of people because I'm in a re
election campaign and you've seen this. DA's have fallen prey
to this. Attorneys general have fallen prey to this. Governors,
mayors need to look like I'm tough on crime. When
we used to broadcast out of the Philadelphia area, the
mayor of Philadelphia at the time, and I kid you not,
(16:10):
his name is Nutter, So yes, Philadelphia for years had
a mayor Nutter. Mayor Nutter would go on these spasms
where he would almost literally put every Philadelphia police officer
in a ten or twenty square block area to clean
(16:32):
up crime. And you always knew what was going on
because crime would go up in cities like Camden, New Jersey,
and Lancaster, Pennsylvania, because the criminals would be like, damn,
neighborhoods shut down for the weekend. Let's go do something
somewhere else, like putting on the lights. Cockroaches are going
(16:54):
somewhere just because you can't see. But he would do
it for the show of look, I'm trying to protect
your neighborhood, and do you really need to ask me
what political party Michael Nutter was. I mean, come on,
first off, he was the mayor of Philadelphia in the
(17:17):
early two thousands. Yeah, no, he was not a Republican. No, but.
Speaker 15 (17:26):
That is.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
A great exemplar of what happens when the political takes
over the police. I need you to arrest these people
red flag laws or another great place where the political
comes in and tries to police rather than allowing law
enforcement to invest crimes, investigate crimes when they happen so
(17:51):
that you can find the guilty party, bring them in
front of a jury of their peers where they can
have a fair trial, and give and all the access
to defense that they can have. And according to Fox News,
this is a battle over statistics, which is exactly what
(18:12):
happens every time a DA or a mayor or a
governor wants to be seen as tough on crime, they
want to gin up the statistics. And I've talked to
Tom Homan four years, not since he took over at
ICE in twenty twenty four, but right before it, he
(18:33):
visited this program and talked about how they were just
not going to cot in any nonsense. They were going
to go arrest people who are in this country illegally
and send them back to the countries that they are
legally citizens of, period, full stop. And amongst the people
(18:55):
who have made appearances on this program, few or as
popular as Tom Homan. And if you want to talk
about a guy in the public arena that's cut from
central casting, I mean he's like the Sean Connery character
in The Untouchables. Now there is a part of me
(19:23):
that says this is designed to kneecap and pull the
rugout from under some of these mostly peaceful protests against
ICE that go on on a seemingly regularly scheduled basis,
organized and coordinated with identical signs in all these different
(19:45):
cities in America, no Kings, no Kings, to electric boogoloo, etc.
All saying we don't want ice because we don't like ice.
But if ICE is being challenged by the DH, does
that soften the political view of Republicans that support Donald Trump?
(20:08):
Because Donald Trump is DHS, Donald Trump is Christy Nome
and Corey Lewandowski, Tom Homan and todd lyons are out
on an island their law enforcement. They're the guys that
(20:28):
direct the men and women in the vests with the masks.
But according to reports, this is about ginning up higher statistics,
arresting more people so you can have more deportations. And
(20:51):
is this because they've been so successful at both arresting
and deporting non citizens from the country that we're starting
to see a downturn in the statistical output and now
the politicians are concerned that it's happening too soon, too fast.
(21:11):
We can't make hay out of this for the midterms.
This is what always happens when police gets overwhelmed or
challenged by the political and it's always dangerous and it's
always a blessing to our liberties when we have law
(21:31):
enforcement stand up against it. But this is why, as
I said at the onset, constitutional sheriffs, the elected district attorneys,
these are the people that are generally speaking, your firewall
against just political operations designed to help getting a mayor
(21:51):
or a governor, or a president or a congressman re
elected because of statistics, not necessarily justice.

Hey I Brandt, and her name is shay I Love.
She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
for because of a surgery. She just went through.
Speaker 17 (22:09):
Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
talk about all the time, which is meta share. That
is right.
Speaker 16 (22:14):
Yeah, So what was your experience like with meta share
and health care ability?
Speaker 17 (22:18):
Honestly, brandt seamless and what a blessing that is. When
you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was,
members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
me tell you, having people pray with you when you
call in with your need that.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
Is just refreshing.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Yes, that's what it is.
Speaker 16 (22:35):
I keep telling people. People love meta share and they
love saving money. The typical family can save five hundred
dollars a month.
Speaker 17 (22:42):
I am very thankful for meta share. It is so different,
and I mean different in a very very good way.

I'm doctor Michael Bailey, President of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases. AI supports
veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
(23:25):
personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
(23:47):
your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
center of our profession. For more information on AI and
veterinary medicine, visit AVMA dot org.
Speaker 8 (24:03):
Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
(24:26):
reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
(24:50):
healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

Speaker 21 (28:24):
Immediately.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas, so.
Speaker 6 (28:32):
As pathetic as things can get, the Virginia General Assembly
here in our flagship state, has really taken the here
hold my beer rhetoric beyond and this is the amazing thing.
So they call this special session, and we reported to
you on this program It was literally within twelve hours
(28:56):
of Eric Holder and the National Demochocratic Redistricting Committee dropping
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars into the pockets of
both Abigail Spanberger and Democrat leadership in the House. So
(29:21):
if a Republican majority had done something as nit witted
and aduled as this, the front pages of every blog
and every news online news source would be inept Republicans
doing the bidding of insert shadowy Republican group, Koch Brothers,
(29:44):
Americans for Prosperity whatever. However, the bad guy that they.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Want to point to.
Speaker 6 (29:54):
The MAGA. So what happened yes afternoon the Virginia General
Assembly trying to join the spasm of other states trying
to redistrict before the redistrict things that have happened in
Texas and North Carolina and Missouri and now Indiana has
(30:15):
called for a redistricting as well Virginia because it's one
of those states with a constitutional amendment on how districts
will be drawn, they have to play games and actually
go truly nuclear option on this. They are going to
blow up all process in the effort to get what
(30:39):
they want. But when we reported yesterday that this was
all bought and paid for by Eric Holder. I received
maybe a quarter of a dozen emails from people saying,
can you prove that? Can you prove that? Well, here
we go, because once they had gaveled in the session
(31:02):
yesterday afternoon around four, they voted on the fact that
they were there and what they were going to work on.
And this is one of those things where governments just
behaving without any sort of guard rails turns us into
a Third World nation. El presidente in some banana republic
(31:26):
in Central America can just say, you know what, I
don't like him, Write me a law that allows me
to arrest him and his whole family. And then the
leader of the presidio goes and writes a law, and
they passed the law because they'll go to prison if
they don't. That says you and your family are enemies
(31:47):
of the state and we can arrest you. That's what
we're doing now. We're just creating out of these piles
of laws that we've left on the side of the highway,
we go searching through them. And boy Ai has made
this easy. You see, you give the code of Virginia
(32:08):
or California or Massachusetts to artificial intelligence and say, find
me a legal precedent to do the thing that I
want to do, and it'll comb through four hundred years
of code and find the things you want to do.
(32:32):
And that's what Eric Holder did. However, the humans at
the other end of Eric Holder's funding stream forgot something.
They have no call to action, they have no law
to work on. So they all got there. They gabbled.
(32:54):
In This special session of the Virginia General Assembly is
called order first, arder of business. We vote on the
call for the special session, all in favor, Democrats all
say I Republicans all say nay, there's more Democrats than Republicans.
Washerans repeat. Now they say, and now we adjourn because
(33:16):
we don't have a law. They don't have the law
that they want the special session to address. They don't
have it. They don't have a law for them to
actually bring to the floor and say here's what we
want to vote on. And I'm sorry if this sounds fanciful,
(33:37):
but I imagine what happened is Thursday of last week,
Eric Holder looking around the country for places to get
his redistricting jerrymandering on realizing that there was a Democrat
gubernatorial candidate and after he figured out how to pronounce
(34:01):
her last name, called her and said, Abigail, it's a
sponge SpongeBob sponge spin sping spangler. No span Burger, right,
Abigail Spanberger. This is Eric Holder. You've never met me,
but I'm your boss. And here's what you're going to do.
I'm going to give you a whole crap ton of money,
(34:21):
and then you're going to redistrict your state and you're
going to draw it in a way where ten of
the eleven congressional districts will be blue. I know, I
know that Virginia generally is fifty three percent Democrat and
forty seven percent Republican. But we're going to make it
look like your like New York State, no even moor,
(34:44):
your New York City. And here's how you're going to
do it. Here's what the maps are going to look like.
I've seen mock ups of these maps. They build out
of urban areas. Where As Thomas Jefferson warned us in
the beginning, if we pile ourselves and this is quote
from Jefferson, if we pile ourselves upon one another in
(35:08):
European style cities, we will be open to the same
corruption that we see in these European style cities. He
knew this because when people are piled together, tightly packed
into an urban area, the feeling is a feeling of
(35:31):
out of control, that there's a cacophony of life going
on around you, and there needs to be a strong
man in charge, somebody who's calling the tunes. There needs
to be an authority figure making sense of the morass
of humanity. So we fall prey to the corruption of
(35:55):
the authoritarians just to make sense of it all. Somebody's
got to make the trains run on time, for heaven's sake.
That's the attitude. This is what Jefferson warned about big
European style cities. So what Virginia is going to do
(36:16):
is take all of its urban areas. Certainly Northern Virginia
is one, and the Richmond area and the Norfolk area
that's three, and then Roanoke, Lynchburg, Charlottesville, and they're going
to build the congressional districts out based on those urban areas.
(36:37):
And there's a phrase in Virginia's constitution, I think it's
also in the Texas Constitution regarding districts being compact and contiguous.
I mean you can't just like cross rivers and go
over the mountains just to grab more voters into this district.
But I've seen some of the models that they're bizarre,
(37:00):
but they're based around getting as many urban areas into
each congressional district so that those blue areas overwhelmed the
red areas, and that you would wind up with and
it may come out to be eight to three Democrats
over Republicans in Virginia. Also, again not the reason we
(37:23):
should be drawing districts based on what political party leads there.
And they're doing this in a state where the voters
don't register by political party, so they're just basing it
on the most recent election results. But when they arrived yesterday,
I don't know what they were expecting. Nobody over the
(37:44):
weekend could write up a law that says, here's what
we want to do. Eric Holder didn't send them a
template of what the National Democratic Redistricting Committee wants them
to pass. I'm sure he has one. Did they just
forget to bring it yesterday? Today?

(44:43):
on the phone to the Speaker of the Virginia House,
Don Scott, just reaming him out. As I understand, Eric
Holder's temper is legend, and that's beyond the whole. When
they go low, we kick them. This screw up that
(45:04):
Virginia's Democrats. I don't think it's fatal. It's not like
they fumbled on the five yard line, but just to
be as embarrassing as they were to show up to
this special session and then not have anything to propose
regarding what this redistricting would look like. Because understand, Virginia
(45:25):
has a law that says, first we try a nonpartisan
redistricting commission. If that fails, and this is in the constitution,
the Virginia Supreme Court appoints a special master. And guess
which political party fought for this constitutional amendment. That's right,
(45:51):
the Democratic Party of Virginia. So there they were egg
on their face after demanding that have this non partisan
redistricting commission to avoid jerry man.
Speaker 3 (46:04):
No question, the jerry mandering is a threat to our democracy.
Speaker 6 (46:07):
Yes, so the Democrats said, we we have to stop
jerry mandering. So they invented this system. It's only five
years ago. This isn't like something that your grandfather's Democrats
put in. Many of the people who are still in
the House and Senate in Virginia are the ones who
(46:28):
voted for this. To show up and not even have
a piece of paper saying here's what we want to do.
I mean, it's if I was Eric Holder, I'd be
reaming some tookuses out Right now, Joel is on the
line with US at four three four eight eight two
four seven. Good morning, Joel. How are you doing this morning?
Speaker 23 (46:50):
Good morning, Joel. I'm doing okay. I don't know if
I want to. Can I click it back to the
immigration and.
Speaker 6 (46:57):
Talk Oh yeah, oh yeah, the Battle Royale. Talk about
that right now, because this is really and the reason
I packaged it the way I did is that you
see this on the streets of your city as well,
when the mayor wants the police chief to do something
but it's you know, it's questionable, and so the police
(47:19):
chief gets fired by the mayor and they hire a
new police chief or they force them out. I mean,
we lived through this in Charlotte's Fell, our flagship city.
I mean we were going through police chiefs faster than
some elected officials go through socks.
Speaker 23 (47:34):
I agree with you. I think if you look at
if you look at the whole picture, right, you have
probably a lot of illegal aliens here. And I say
that because that's in the US Code. It's not degrading
a person, right. I know you have people here. They
(47:54):
may be Eastern people, but you're still here illegally and
those could be people who came over with no documents,
or visa overstays, or even people who lied to get
green cards. And so my thing is, of course, so
I'm sure there's a lot of businesses that are knowingly
using illegal aliens, and I'm sure there's a lot of
(48:16):
police and law enforcement they just let it go by
because they're not you know, they're not doing anything out
of the ordinary, they're not hurting anybody. Then they even
frequent those restaurants or have them doing something. You see
people doing law care or or working in a business
or whatever. And so, but you're still here illegally. And
(48:38):
Christy No, Homeland Security and other commercials have been on
TV and they've talked about it, and they've they've set
it up or hey, if you're here illegally, you're allowed
to leave. We'll give you some money and we'll pay
for if your children are here or whatever, we'll you know,
let you deport. But those are the options, right, And
everybody's acting like somebody's crying fel and and of course
(49:01):
they said in the beginning, we're gonna we're gonna get
people that are here first that are criminals. But you're
still a criminal if you come here illegally. Oh, I
understand that, you know, And that's not a juxtaposition. It's
just that you need to enforce what the law is.
It's like it's like our courts, you know, they're they're
not doing what is on the law. They're not doing
mandating what is through the through the court systems. They're
(49:25):
just allowing things to be political. So you can't be
political with these positions.
Speaker 6 (49:30):
Well, and one of the things that I think is
interesting in this, if you believe the Fox News report,
and I'm sure it's driven by one particular side in this,
and it's not the one Tom Holman's on, is that
is that they want the numbers, the statistics to be bigger.
And I'm sorry, statistics are not how you do law enforcement.
(49:53):
And to say we want higher numbers, we want uh,
more detentions, more deportations to report, which is what Fox
News is saying to us, which is most likely what
somebody in Lewandowski or Nome's office has told them is
(50:16):
the problem. And and again you have to backtrack a
lot of these sources. So is this a whistleblower, Who's
who's trying to make Corey Lewandowski look bad or Christy
Nome because it's an unnamed source at Fox News saying
that that they're mad at Tom Homan because he's not
arresting enough people. Meanwhile, we've got the Democrats marching in
(50:38):
the street saying they're arresting half our communities. So I
guess Tom must be doing it right if everyone's mad
at him. But you have to be very careful because
if your if your job is to lead law enforcement,
you want them to be out there enforcing the laws justly.
(50:59):
And they are in a perilous spot now that you've
got this sovereign immunity cases where now police in a
lot of places and including Ice, can be prosecuted and
and then civilly chased down for behavior if it's proven
that they violated someone's rights. You've got to have it
buttoned up twice on Sunday before you go and raid
(51:22):
somebody's business. And we just had it here in Virginia.
Down in Hampton Roads, a car full of guys were
going to their gardening gig when Ice pulled them over,
and a guy took a runner and ran out into
the interstate and got hit and killed. It's tragic for him.
But why was he running because he knew Ice Ice
(51:44):
was not going to let him go finished cutting somebody's grass.
And then again back to your point about people employing
these people.
Speaker 23 (51:51):
Right because they're they're just as liable too, because aren't
you harboring and by betting a criminal, I mean they're
here illegally, they're they're not as citizen and it violates
the USC Code. I don't know what it is. I'm
not well, you don't have all those documents.
Speaker 6 (52:08):
But for years, for years, business work well yeah, yeah, yeah,
hang on, I just want you know, to make the
point though, for years business leaders and US Chamber of
Commerce amongst them, have fought back against real not real idea,
but everify that's what the program is called, right, because
it would put the business owners that employ these non
(52:30):
citizens in the in that kind of well used to
go after the Johns to crack down on prostitution. So
so you made the business owners responsible for the criminal
behavior of employing non citizens for lower wages.
Speaker 13 (52:51):
A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
turned into something.
Speaker 6 (52:55):
Very major in a matter of hours.
Speaker 21 (52:57):
It was meticia that came through for us, and there
were there's no hassles, there was no problem.
Speaker 13 (53:02):
That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
of such an incredible ministry.
Speaker 22 (53:07):
Metas Share is a biblical approach to healthcare where Christians
share each other's medical expenses.
Speaker 4 (53:13):
Medishare is a family, a group of people that stick
with you through the hardest times of your life.
Speaker 22 (53:20):
Metashare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over thirty years
old and members have shared over eight billion dollars of
each other's medical bills.
Speaker 3 (53:28):
We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
You can focus on on supporting other people.
Speaker 6 (53:33):
Meta Share is affordable.
Speaker 7 (53:35):
Medishare is biblical.
Speaker 22 (53:36):
Medishare is family. Join thousands of Christians who can help
you save on your healthcare and support your family when
you need it. Call eight five five share forty eight
