Russia wants to see you grade sixteen on your to
do list.

Speaker 7 (00:30):
Joe.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Thank you for letting us be of service to you.
This morning, we were talking about the FCC and the
corruption in Minneapolis, UH and and how the centralized government
feeds all this on the on a program that will
tell you what went on last night, and then we'll
tell you our analysis of it, but mostly we want

(00:54):
to hear how it's impacting you where you are. You
can text message two four three four eight eight two
four two one seven, or you can use that as
traditional phone call. This text message came in on the
corruption in Minneapolis. If ilan Omar is worth thirty million

(01:16):
dollars after a few years in elected office, tell me
how that works. If the same solution to pollution is dilution,
then maybe dilution is the cover up for corruption. Now
I've never heard the dilution is the solution to pollution.
I do believe that dilution is the solution to our corruption.

(01:38):
Though we get back to a government and understand it's
not just me. When confronted with the possibility of a
toolkit to develop a centralized authoritarian government, Patrick Henry and
George Mason at the founding of the US Constitution said,
the first thing we want listed as the most important

(02:01):
right to be protected is the right of a small,
contiguous representative office, the right of the people to petition
their government, because they were one out of fifty thousand residents,
not one out of seven hundred and twenty five thousand residents.
But like the old song goes, the knee bones connected

(02:23):
to the hip bone, the hip bones connected to the
None of this happens in isolation. So you also have
to rein in what it is the government can do.
Be more, perhaps specific with the limitations on the Commerce clause,
because since the end of the Civil War, every time

(02:46):
the government needs to insert itself into your life, they
plagiarize the Commerce Clause of the US Constitution to infer
or confer some sort of authority that isn't there constitutionally.
And if you're questioning that, then you're an American because
you're questioning the American bureaucracy and therefore that is un American.

(03:12):
Our first things this morning, President Trump meeting with Vladimir
Zelenski yesterday and at the press conference announced that they
also took a two and a half hour phone call
with Russian President Vladimir Putin. In the midst the President
of the United States said that Russia and Ukraine are
closer than ever before to a peace deal. He said,

(03:35):
Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed, and we'll offer low
cost infrastructure and fuel costs to help the reconstruction. Tim
Wallas's office in Minnesota is pushing back against the fraud
allegations that the YouTube videographer had chronicled of daycare centers

(04:01):
bereft of children getting millions of dollars per year. Spokesperson
for the government told Fox News that Waltz has spent
years working to crack down on fraud and including one
of those daycare centers which has already been closed. Meanwhile,
just to make sure, the FBI has deployed personnel to

(04:22):
investigate in Minnesota and dismantle large scale fraud schemes. China's
military is saber rattling today as their Air, Navy, and
rocket troops conduct joint military drills around the island of Taiwan,
a move that Beijing says is a warning against separatists

(04:44):
in Taiwan and external interference from other countries. The wealthiest
men and women in California could be facing a five
percent asset tax on their wealth if California voters have
their way in November. The wealth tax is backed by

(05:05):
the Service Employees International Union of United Healthcare Workers West.
The Trump administration has begun investigations into the use of
diversity initiatives. According to DOJ records, Letters have gone out
to companies like Google and Verizon asking for all the
documents and information regarding hiring practices and actual hirings done

(05:31):
in those companies. Brigitte Bardoux passed away Sunday at the
age of ninety one. Was just twenty two when she
rose to stardom, then disappeared from public view in the
eighties to focus on animal rights and protection. And the
families of the Sydney massacre have sent a letter to

Speaker 8 (07:01):
You know a lot of times you have to choose
between something high quality or something that saves you money.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
But what if you could get both?

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Why not?

Speaker 8 (07:09):
Especially when it comes to healthcare, and that is meta
share You get both. Many families save five hundred bucks
a month with meta share and that's huge, But it's
also true that people wind up way more satisfied too,
and we know this from research of members. There's a
lot they like about metashare, but especially they love being
part of something they believe in and metashare works too.

of thousands of members who love having telehealth if they

Exercise is hard, so is maintained a healthy diet. Of course,
neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type two diabetes,
heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.

diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is

Speaker 5 (13:11):
President he was very generous and was staring.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
To the first thing today by Joe Thomas on the
Talk Media Network, I'm.

Speaker 23 (13:21):
Afraid of the Russians.

Speaker 20 (13:24):
I can't sleep.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
Of course they're very excited.

Speaker 18 (13:28):
I'm so afraid of the Russians.

Speaker 23 (13:31):
Afraid.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Cemail came in from earlier in the program where we
talked about President Trump's statements about the meeting with and
apparently vlad was involved. They called, you almost have this
fanciful view. You know, Trump sitting there at Mary Lago
out on the veranda with Zelensky saying, hey, a Voladimir,

(14:00):
let's call vladd and let's talk on the phone. Just
almost exactly how it went down at the FAIFA meeting,
where he tapped Shinbaum on the shoulder and he and
Art Carney went in the back room to the chagrin
of their handlers, like they can't just go off and
have a meeting like that. So the president's comments are

(14:25):
unfortunately misconscrewed because Putin, of course, he wants Ukraine to
be successful once it is folded back into the Russian Federation,
which he has said frequently, even to Tucker Carlson, does
not recognize their sovereignty, believes it was pushed by NATO

(14:51):
on Yeltsin under the fraudulent idea that NATO was somehow
going to help Yeltsin rein in the out of control
Russian liberty movement, and when he didn't, then Putin runs
and gets himself elected and he's been dictator for life
ever since. But sure, I want Ukraine to be successful

(15:13):
once they're back in Russian Federation where they belong. Let
me get to you at four three four eight eight
two four two one seven. Good morning. You're on the
air with Joe. First thing this morning. Who's this.

Speaker 18 (15:25):
Morning? Comrade? This is a comrade.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
Mic those Beadonia. No, it was it. Jannati used to say,
it was a d last with you, d last with you?
Isn't him? In a while he's a he's a radio guy.
And ever since they kicked us off the radio in
Charlottesville proper. Uh, he can't get our new station. So

(15:50):
you know, it's just out of side, out of mind,
is what happens. Man.

Speaker 18 (15:55):
Unfortunately, but that brings up a the interesting thing. Comrade. Uh,
you see, uh was your radio license up for renewal?
Zone soon. I need to remind you of a couple
of keys sayings like during brac obrama. Uh, he sued
so many people for a nominous source information because it

(16:22):
was detrimental to his policies, and he wanted that big
Red Tales, which then under the Trump administration sent the
first one. Since he was an outsider, he didn't know
how to play the game. So us uh, well, not
corporate government operators that helped keep the government running from

(16:45):
administration to administration. We let people know that if they
needed to renew a license and did not paint Trump
as evil, we could lose or delay the paperwork or something.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
Oh that would happen. You know. The organizations of the
government would never do that, like you know, I mean,
that would be like the irs targeting you know, groups
like Tea Party organizations for special investigations to slow them down. No,
that would never happen.

Speaker 18 (17:16):
And then under Joe Biden, if you did not uh
talk about COVID and approved government approved manner, we could
take you to cart for uh being a hazard to
public help by providing disinformation no matter how true or accrid.

(17:38):
It was right, but it did not meet the narrative.
So a comrade, please keep this in mind as we
review your license.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
Well, thank you, Winston Smith. I appreciate it. At the
Memory Hole Department of the Department of Information here in
East Anglia, I appreciate it, sir. We'll talk to you soon, okay,
enjoy you know, like they say, either you you you're
a good example or a horrible warning. You know, and
you could you could be either, you know, try to

(18:10):
you strive to be a good example, but sometimes you
just wind up being a horrific warning, a cautionary tale,
uh if you will four three four eight A two
four two one seven and narrative, as Mike said, is
very important to government because most people are busy. My son,

(18:40):
my son was showing me this AI generated animation with
like a robot, Charlie Kirk and Alex Jones flying off
to I don't know, meet Loki or something. It's all
this alt right stuff that they larp around in the Internet,
and they're circular gratification clubs, and he's his dad. You've

(19:07):
got to understand these people are you know, they're out there.
They think that there's some shadow society of white people.
And I said, all right, well, then we need to
bring them back in and let them understand that there isn't.
I've been doing this long enough, I can tell you
there isn't a shadow society of white people that live

(19:28):
underground under Antarctica. And Donald Trump's attempts to take over
Greenland are not trying to repatriate them or something. It's
just us here. And this text message comes in, and
I appreciate this because normally when this listener texts me,

(19:52):
it's it's about taking my valume before my head explodes.
But this one I think is important. He said. The
answer do the corruption in Minneapolis, the issues at the FCC,
all of this. The answer is morality. As you have
said numerous times on your show. When confronted with the

(20:15):
US Constitution, John Adams said, this is wholly inadequate for
anything but a moral nation, insisting that we must be
a moral society in order to be well. Then expression
you can't be self governing if you're not self governing,

(20:36):
and this was a little bit of what Madison was
trying to write in and then with George Mason and
James Monroe and Patrick Henry's assistance with the Bill of
Rights was trying to reign in the government. And I
remember an interview Barack Obama did years ago on a
Chicago public radio station. I don't know if all if
you listen up there, evanston Or in Joliet, if you

(20:59):
remember this, but during his campaign for the presidential nomination
in two thousand and eight, it played a lot and
the hosts were asking him in that typical NPR fashion,
So you're a professor of constitutional law, what is your
view of the Constitution? And his response was, well, I

(21:23):
believe the problem with the Constitution is it's not a
list of proactive measures that the things the government's supposed
to do for people. It's all restrictions on what the
government can do. And for eight years he sure is
shooting governed that way. I want to find ways to
circumvent the restrictions on the things the government can do

(21:45):
and I understand that's two thousand and eight. That's one
hundred and seventy years from the beginning of this technocratic
nightmare bastardizing the commerce clause to instict the government's grubby
little mention to everything.

HI.

Speaker 6 (23:02):
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

(23:48):
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 25 (24:04):
Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?

Speaker 4 (24:08):
Yes?

Speaker 25 (24:09):
Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age

(24:33):
and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
your hands and feet.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
Well.

lack of nitric oxide.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
It's on.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
For you from Joe Thomas. It's first thing today.

Speaker 1 (28:22):

Program Office at Full Sale University's dan Patrick School of Sportscasting,
where he's bringing the next generation in one would one
highlight reel at a time? Yeah, one assignment at a time,
that's right, One sideline report at the time. He is

(28:44):
putting together the future of sports if we still watch
sports anymore. And I worry about sports being the same way.
You know, these big corporations will start calling on the
government to go after these YouTubers and you know, oh
you can't get you know, they already do it. I mean,
you people post stuff on their social media from inside
stadiums and the next thing you know, the their their

(29:06):
posts are taken down because it was a violation of
your ticket license.

Speaker 14 (29:10):
And yeah, I don't mean to interrupt Joe.

Speaker 22 (29:13):
Each day there was a story that I just I
really literally.

Speaker 14 (29:17):
Sit back and laugh.

Speaker 22 (29:18):
And before we got into the Friday. Last Friday was
the NC double, a story with Diego Pavia, whose attorney
filed a brief and and and wrote the whole to
was the night before Christmas poem to get Diego Pavia
Vanderbilt more time with Vanderbilt, Oh my god, to get
him another year of eligibility, and regarding the JC players

and now the watch will be on Chandler Morris, who
wants you know, he's filing for extra time as well,

Speaker 1 (29:52):
Can't well this this started this started with the Duke
rape case where all the kids you know got suspended.

Speaker 14 (30:02):
No, there's a great analogy.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
Well no, no, because the the n C double A
opened the Pandora's box of saying, well, I guess we
can arbitrarily give somebody an extra year of eligibility since we.

Speaker 14 (30:15):
Killed the season, right, yeah you know?

Speaker 1 (30:18):
Yeah, and then COVID comes and they're like, okay, so

where it was a knockoff on something he did where
he showed up.

Speaker 22 (31:04):
Oh you're talking about the Hulu special with what's the
Glenn Powell?

Speaker 1 (31:09):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, where he's he's you know, he's got
buck teeth and everything goes.

Speaker 22 (31:14):
To east at South Georgia State or something like right right,
I have the t Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Okay, yeah, But I mean anyway, that's it. You know,
how many how many more years of eligibility can these
I want to improve my draft. This is like when
they when my kids were growing up, and all of
my kids started school early, and.

Speaker 14 (31:35):
But Chad powers, by the way, Chad powers.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
But but all my kids started early in school. My
my my younger son started first grade at four, but
there were kids who were six and seven because their
parents were holding them back. Oh, I want my son
to be more mature when he gets and it'll help
him in sports. When he finally gets to high school,
he'll be more physically mature, like oh my god, just

(32:03):
shut up and put the kid on the bus.

Speaker 22 (32:05):
Yeah, old the cable guy lined by the best three
years he ever spent was in first grade.

Speaker 14 (32:10):
So I mean sports.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (32:16):
The things that happened over the weekend was you know,
first of all, on Saturday and the Ravens Day alive
because they got a prayer from Derek Henry, which I'll
talk more about tomorrow and Darry sixteen lambowfield and ran
for two sixteen and uh so John r bar course
in his spiritual ways, you know. But but it was
Derek Henry said there had to be divine intervention when

(32:37):
something like that happened.

Speaker 29 (32:38):
Very grateful for this win, Derek. Derek talked about it
in the pregame prayer and talked about I'm I'm gonna
make you ask him what he said in the pregame
player prayer and what he's what he talked about to
the guys, because I just think the belief on this
football team is at a level that I've never really
seen before because we've been through a lot.

Speaker 26 (32:53):
I did the prayer before the game, and you know,
I just talked about, guys, he's playing free and trusting,
trusting and believing in each other. We've been through a
lot this season. You know, the Lord's gonna be there
where's regardless, and he's been a with us this whole time.

Speaker 14 (33:05):
Yeah, two hundred and sixteen yards. Maybe it was the law.

Speaker 22 (33:09):
It was the best performance by a running back in
Lambeau since the.

Speaker 14 (33:12):
Field opened in nineteen fifty seven.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
Yike.

Speaker 22 (33:15):
So anyway, now they moved the game they flexed the
game and it's an eight twenty next Sunday night, so
naturally we have to stay watch the Steelers host the
Ravens after clear.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
It helps my flagship station because we're stuck with the
Commies at one o'clock. So I was like, I don't
want to have to choose this, and you know, we're,
you know, the flagship stations in the NFL Playoff affiliates.
So I'm trying to, you know, do right by some
sponsors and stuff. Sure, funny, funny clip your your buddy
the Nictator. I saw a clip he was telling a

(33:46):
Derreck Henry story and he got to training camp and
he was missing all these blocks and everything and these
traps and everything, and he comes up he goes, coach,
you gotta help me. They never asked me to do
any of this stuff in high school. They just throw
me the.

Speaker 22 (34:00):
Ball and I'd run right Vrabel and you'll hear it
next that Rabel told Drake May. You know, we talked
about the progressions, but basically I just told Drake, may
throw it to somebody who's open.

Speaker 14 (34:13):
You know, That's that's the way the game.

Speaker 22 (34:15):
I mean, you'll hear it next, next, hour because it's
you know, it's classic. But of all the oka, of
all the things that happened over the weekend, and I
remember a lot of football. There's a lot of football
forgot that, you know, forty years in the booth or whatever.
Ten minutes, seven seconds, nineteen plays, and it gave you
bea the lead that would never overcome. And over this

(34:37):
sec gauntlet that Virginia was playing. They shut him out
for nearly fifty seven minutes. It was fifty six fifty
six if you want to keep score, all right, So
Chandler Morris converted five times to keep the drive alive.
He was perfect on third down throws during the game,
key conversions. He was like ten for ten, and so
the drive culminated in a two yard touchdown and run

(34:58):
by Harrison Whaley from a wildcat formation, and they scored.
It gave Virginia the lead, which they did not relinquish. Okay,
So with all that, Chandler Morris, who was twenty five
for thirty, eight for two, eight, ten for ten on
third downs, I just said, he got in the huddle
and he kept telling his line. He says, I could
tell my guys were getting gassed. He said, but we
had to put this drive together. It was nineteen plays.

(35:20):
I mean Missouri in the third quarter, he had the
ball for a minute fifty anyway, Chandler Morris qb Ubat.

Speaker 30 (35:28):
We got in the huddle a little bit and I
could see the big guys up front. We're a little
gas just trying to try to encourage them, just encourage
them to go finish drives and everything like that.

Speaker 14 (35:38):
And that was a huge drive in the game.

Speaker 30 (35:40):
I mean ten minutes to be able to go out
there and really take over the line of scrimmage and
punch it in the end zone because putting seven points
on the board, that drive was really big to get
us up in the league.

Speaker 22 (35:50):
Yeah, program's second longest drive by duration and tied for
the second longest my number of plays. The last time
Uba hit a nineteen play drive was against Syracuse fifteen.

Speaker 14 (36:00):
If you're just keeping score.

Speaker 22 (36:02):
But overall, what UVA accomplished in Tony Elliott, And if
there's one guy I'm happy for, it's Tony Elliott.

Speaker 14 (36:08):
We have talked about it. Who you know went through
what he went through.

Speaker 22 (36:12):
Virginia's six win improvement from twenty four there were five
and seven to eleven and three, the largest overall win
improvement from year to year in the one hundred and
thirty six years of UVA football. So and and people
are going to be studying it. They well, what'd you do?
What you know, how'd you put it together?

Speaker 1 (36:31):
Money? Well, you know, well placed money the.

Speaker 14 (36:35):
Portal like nobody else did a lot.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
Of people who spent money and didn't you know, get
to eleven wins and a bowl title?

Speaker 14 (36:41):
Well no, exactly. And so now I think a lot of.

Speaker 22 (36:45):
Folks are going to study that. And so now the
portal opens on a Friday, January second, Right, New Year's
Day is Thursday. Right, So the portal will open now
for two weeks and it starts on Friday, January second.
So now it's just going to be fun to watch
the school to work. Well, did you see who's gonna get?

Speaker 7 (37:02):
What?

Speaker 1 (37:02):
I know? I texted you some of this, Like every
single player at j MU. I think half the student
body at James Madison University have filed for transfers in
the last forty eight hours. I'm like, my god, this
whole team either they're all going to u c L
a quarterback and running background.

Speaker 22 (37:20):
But that's it's gonna be mayhem. And you know, starting
on the second, I'm not gonna submit. It's like recruiting,
but it is. It's going to be absolute mayhem starting
Friday for two weeks because.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
Like fantasy either this is fantasy football.

Speaker 14 (37:35):
Turn read it's fantasy football.

Speaker 22 (37:38):
And if Parker Brothers doesn't come up with the game
very soon, I will.

Speaker 14 (37:43):
Transfer Opoly or something like.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
It's the Parker Brothers still exists. We'll have to find
out their good stuff. Mac is always all right.

Speaker 14 (37:51):
We'll see you tomorrow as we get ready for the
big quarter final round.

According to a new report from Discovery Education, ninety two
percent of students say that engaging lessons make school more fun,
and more than ninety percent of educators said engagement is
critical for student achievement. Student engagement is essential for learning,
but gaps remain about how to achieve, measure and sustain
student's interest in the classroom. Although sixty three percent of

(38:22):
students agreed that students are highly engaged in school, only
forty five percent of teachers and fifty one percent of
principles surveyed agreed with the same statement. Educators disagreed on
the top indicators of engagement. Seventy two percent of teachers
said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of student engagement,
while fifty four percent of superintendents rate performing well on

(38:45):
assessments as a top engagement indicator. Also, two thirds of
students said they believed that AI could help them learn faster,
yet fewer than half of teachers report using AI themselves
to complete tasks. Visit Discovery education dot com to learn

Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?

Speaker 4 (39:08):
Yes?

Speaker 25 (39:09):
Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age

(39:33):
and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
your hands and feet. Well, our product, ultimate nitric oxide,
can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide go

Every year, more American adults die from vaccine preventable diseases
than from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like
the one for newmic coccle disease can protect adults from
illnesses that can cause misdays of work, hospitalization, and even death.
New macccle disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example

(40:57):
of an infection that can spread from person to person.
Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.
I'm doctor Susan Reem of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases.
When I speak with my patients, I urge them to
get all their recommended vaccines.

Speaker 1 (43:56):
It's on.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
From the home of the First Amendment. First thing today.

Speaker 1 (44:30):
So uh, this Ohio governor's race is interesting because apparently
the ute and and this is going to tie into
the president's press conference yesterday and a danger for all
of us who live and die by the hashtag. You've
heard me talk about it. When I was a kid.
We used to call it the chromium pulpit. It didn't

(44:51):
mean anything if you couldn't fit it on a bumper
sticker and the slogan ear ring will kill you. The
press conference yesterday, you promised you'd be done with this
in twenty four hours, and of course once the press
asks that. You know, it's funny the press is allowed
to do that to Donald Trump, but if you do

(45:12):
that to Joe Biden, I all of a sudden, your
network gets canceled, you're out of the White House Press Corps,
and nobody bats an eye. Nobody bats an eye, but
you do it to Donald Trump and that starts an
Internet explosion of people saying, yeah, you said you'd be
done in twenty four hours, liar, Because this is always

(45:37):
the attitude with Donald Trump is Donald Trump must be
a liar, because Donald Trump is out there telling you
that they have been lying to you all along. So
if he's saying you're you've been lied to, he must
be the liar. He's the king of the liars and
liar Town, and so Vivek Ramaswami is having the same

(46:03):
issues with the slogan airring. A lot of the stuff
he said when he was running for president isn't so
much what he's saying now he's running for governor, and
a lot of people are calling him out on it.
Not necessarily a huge situation going on. We had a
poll out of Ohio and our friends in Youngstown there

(46:24):
and perhaps the most interesting lineup of hosts that followed
this program and people I like, I truly, I've met
Tom Hartman a bunch of times. I don't think we
agree politically on stuff, but we, like many honest brokers
on the left, will admit that, you know, poverty is
a problem. I have a different solution to it than

(46:46):
he does. So polls out of Ohio say that there
is a change now acting Amy Acton the Democrat head

(47:12):
to head with Ramashwami leads forty six forty five nine
percent undecided. However, Ramashwami doesn't have the nomination yet. And
because pollsters like to determine this stuff in advance, uh,
they didn't pull on Casey Push for a governor to
see you know where he stood in this Emerson College.

(47:40):
They didn't say, well, what does Acton do against push?
So we're going to talk to Casey next hour and
probably about fifteen twenty minutes. But you know, we were
talking about how slogans will kill you, and this is
what's happening with Ramashwami is a lot of stuff that
the young people were so excited about. Now people are like,
hang on a second here, you said what now when

(48:03):
he talks about regulating the economy and using government investment
to create jobs, which are all well and good, because
you want to say you created jobs, and they the

(48:32):
devil always winds up being in the detail in these
slogans make America great again, America First? And there are
people who rail against President Trump saying, well, why is
he supporting Israel? What happened to America first? How are

(48:52):
the two mutually exclusive? Because on a bumper sticker you
don't have room for poor calos dos. Why can't both
be true? Why is it not an American first policy
agenda to say that the one Western enclave in the
Middle East that is a fulk room to better relations

(49:18):
with Saudi Arabia and Jordan and all these places that
we have far better relationship with than we did when
Jimmy Carter was president. Why is it not an American Well,
because I see people hear things like America First, and
they think America only. And that's the danger in the

(49:43):
slogan earring the chromium pulpit. It's like the fellow who
cut me off in traffic here in Charlottesville on a
traffic circle one day, cut me off, gave me the finger,
honked at me. I could see him, red in the face,
hollering at me. I was in a radio station van
with all sorts of conservative talk show hosts faces on it,

(50:05):
and as he passed me in his Subaru outpack, perhaps
his wife's perhaps you know, his wife's girlfriend. I don't know,
but as he passed me in the Subaru outpack, the
bumper sticker on the back window said Coexist. One of
my favorite moments in the Deadpool and Wolverine movie is

(50:25):
when they're fighting each other in the mini van with
the Coexist bumper sticker on it, because I saw that
it was probably about six eight months after this guy
had flipped me the bird and had started hollering at
me under the banner of coexist. So is it? And

(50:47):
this is something that happened, the difference between campaigning and governing.
So you say I want to I want to end
this war in twenty four hours, but he didn't say.
He said I can end this war in twenty four hours.
Can is a big word. Putin didn't want to go
along with it. I think Zelensky might have gone along

(51:09):
with it, but Putin didn't. The danger in this sloganeering
is why you see politicians over a long career until
they become so corrupt like Nancy Pelosi and so woven

(51:30):
into the cash machine that the first two to three
election cycles, you will see a decline in the number
of people voting for a congressman or a senator or
even a president. An increase in support is really hard
to do. So Reagan's route and had some to do

(51:53):
with a bad candidate he was up against. But to
see somebody grow in support from their first election to
their second one is very rare because the slogans we
all fought for in the last war having come to pass,
and especially if you've got an antagonistic press going on

(52:16):
and say, oh, mister Trump, you said you'd done this
in twenty four hours.

Speaker 14 (52:19):
Are you lying then? Are you lying now?

Speaker 1 (52:23):
Because everyone's trying to get their Woodward and Bernstein on,
of course, and it's not that he didn't say he
could end the war in twenty four hours. He didn't,
but he didn't say he will. He was going to.
And it's this casual retelling of history that the press
likes to do, this Mandela effect journalism that they get under.

(52:46):
Be careful of slogans, Be careful of the inferred promises you.
