Speaker 1: Fiant and more Megan now make America great again than
0:07
Speaker 1: I've ever been.
0:08
Speaker 2: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
0:12
Speaker 2: Media Network by Joe.
0:13
Speaker 3: Jalas, Thank you for letting us be of service to you.
0:36
Speaker 4: It is Tedsdy, which means it is the day that
0:40
Speaker 4: we set aside to celebrate the gifts that God has
0:44
Speaker 4: given you and your exuberant application of those gifts to
0:50
Speaker 4: a grateful constituency who, of course reward you justly, and
0:55
Speaker 4: therefore you don't need to worry about what the gnattering
0:57
Speaker 4: nay bombs of negativism will throw you. It is a
1:01
Speaker 4: great day in America. Every day is New Year's Day.
1:04
Speaker 4: And if you don't know what God has gifted you
1:07
Speaker 4: to do, there are some steps you can take.
1:10
Speaker 3: We can run through them.
1:11
Speaker 4: I grew up in an era where everybody had a
1:13
Speaker 4: self help book out at Barnes and Noble. Kids google
1:17
Speaker 4: Barnes and Noble. No, that's it's not a wine cooler company.
1:20
Speaker 4: That's Bartle's and James, although some could very easily make
1:24
Speaker 4: that confusion. But they were a bookstore back in the
1:27
Speaker 4: day when we had books there.
1:30
Speaker 3: But everyone had one.
1:31
Speaker 4: When I was in my twenties, you know who was
1:35
Speaker 4: the seven second you know, efficient moves of every bowel
1:41
Speaker 4: in America. You know, everybody had something. It was the
1:44
Speaker 4: seven procedures of successful and this one who caught the cheese?
1:49
Speaker 4: And everyone had some plan and it was all about
1:54
Speaker 4: you know, here's how you get rich quick. And what
1:56
Speaker 4: you realize pretty quickly was the way to get rich
1:59
Speaker 4: quick is to write a self help book. And many
2:02
Speaker 4: people picked up on that too. But we can help
2:07
Speaker 4: you check in on what it is you did. It's simple. Really,
2:11
Speaker 4: take a few of your best closest friends, maybe a
2:14
Speaker 4: family member, whatever, if you trust them, people whose opinions
2:18
Speaker 4: you trust, and ask them to write the ten most
2:22
Speaker 4: positive personality traits and the ten most negative personality traits
2:28
Speaker 4: about you are limited to five if you know sensitive.
2:32
Speaker 4: And once they've done that, start sorting through them and
2:36
Speaker 4: look through them and see which ones are the strongest.
2:39
Speaker 4: Maybe there's a's and b's and when you see them,
2:43
Speaker 4: you'll start to see a picture of what kind of
2:45
Speaker 4: personality you have and what it is you love to do.
2:49
Speaker 4: That's the other part. Then your homework is to sit down,
2:52
Speaker 4: what are the things you would just do if you
2:55
Speaker 4: if you didn't have to get paid. And those are
3:00
Speaker 4: the things that you are driven for if you would
3:03
Speaker 4: do something every day in any day. I had a
3:06
Speaker 4: dear friend, and it isn't even always a job, it's
3:09
Speaker 4: an advocation. A dear friend of mine was my roommate
3:13
Speaker 4: for some time, worked as a manager at a grocery store,
3:17
Speaker 4: not a very reasonable and laudable profession, helping people get
3:23
Speaker 4: their groceries, but that wasn't his calling.
3:25
Speaker 3: His calling was.
3:26
Speaker 4: He was a youth minister at his church and he
3:28
Speaker 4: ran all the sports leagues and the retreats and everything else.
3:32
Speaker 4: But that didn't pay enough to pay his bills. So
3:35
Speaker 4: he took a job that he didn't need to devote
3:37
Speaker 4: a lot of extra time or effort or brain power to.
3:42
Speaker 4: He ran a department at a grocery store, basically making
3:44
Speaker 4: sure the shelves were all full and everything was rotated.
3:48
Speaker 4: But he didn't have to go home and bring work
3:50
Speaker 4: home and do so. You know, his nine to five
3:53
Speaker 4: was done, his eight hours were done, and he could
3:56
Speaker 4: focus on running the sports leagues and the summer camps.
4:02
Speaker 3: And that was his calling.
4:04
Speaker 4: So you can do, and just if your calling doesn't
4:07
Speaker 4: make you a ton of money, find a way to
4:08
Speaker 4: make some money to support your calling. That's all Ted's
4:12
Speaker 4: d is about here. But our first things where we
4:15
Speaker 4: tell you what went on in the world, and then
4:17
Speaker 4: we will discuss thoroughly. President Trump in Pennsylvania, while he
4:26
Speaker 4: was flying there, said to the gagle in the aisles
4:28
Speaker 4: of Air Force One, he might even consider eliminating federal
4:32
Speaker 4: taxes on gambling winnings. We have no tax on Tipsy, said,
4:36
Speaker 4: we have no tax on social Security, we have no
4:38
Speaker 4: tax on overtime, no tax on gambling winnings.
4:41
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm going to have to think about that.
4:45
Speaker 4: While at the rally, he said, I have no higher
4:48
Speaker 4: priority than making America affordable again. Lower prices, bigger paychecks
4:54
Speaker 4: was what the banner read behind the rally stage, and
4:58
Speaker 4: he pointed out, We're bringing them down.
5:01
Speaker 3: That's our message.
5:02
Speaker 4: They gave you high prices, they gave you the highest
5:05
Speaker 4: inflation in history. Meanwhile, his approval rating is up to
5:10
Speaker 4: forty one percent from last week's thirty eight percent, according
5:13
Speaker 4: to the latest.
5:15
Speaker 3: Reuters IPSOS poll.
5:17
Speaker 4: US fighter jets were deployed to over the Gulf of Venezuela,
5:23
Speaker 4: flying past the coast of Venezuela, saying it was the
5:28
Speaker 4: closest approach of military aircraft to Venezuelan airspace to date,
5:33
Speaker 4: According to reports. US defense officials, speaking on the condition
5:38
Speaker 4: of anonymity, described the short mission as quote a routine
5:43
Speaker 4: training flight. Meanwhile, a Democrat led effort by Senators Tim Kaine,
5:49
Speaker 4: Adam Schiff, and Chuck Schumer, along with one Republican Ran
5:53
Speaker 4: Paul to get a war powers resolution is about to
5:56
Speaker 4: go to a vote next week in the US Senate
6:00
Speaker 4: that would restrict any military action in Venezuela without congressional approval.
6:06
Speaker 4: A divided three judge panel of federal appeals courts on
6:09
Speaker 4: Tuesday cleared the administration to resume discharging transgender service members,
6:16
Speaker 4: issuing a stay that reinstates Secretary of War Pete Hexith's policy,
6:20
Speaker 4: while the case heads to a full appellate argument next month.
6:25
Speaker 4: The Administration is threatening to pull federal funding from public
6:29
Speaker 4: transportation in Chicago unless the city titans security after a
6:34
Speaker 4: man set a woman on fire inside a commuter train
6:37
Speaker 4: in November, and European leaders are pushing back after President
6:41
Speaker 4: Trump said their union was weak. European Council President Antonio
6:47
Speaker 4: Costa said the United States must act as allies and
6:52
Speaker 4: urged the US President to show respect and those are
6:56
Speaker 4: our first things.
6:57
Speaker 3: This Ted's d Morning on the Talk Media Network.

Speaker 7: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
8:07
Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi
8:13
Speaker 7: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
8:18
Speaker 7: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
8:22
Speaker 7: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
8:26
Speaker 7: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
8:31
Speaker 7: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
8:36
Speaker 7: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
8:42
Speaker 7: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
8:46
Speaker 7: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
8:51
Speaker 7: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

10:01
Speaker 9: up on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.

Speaker 9: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
10:25
Speaker 9: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
10:29
Speaker 9: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
10:32

Speaker 9: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
10:39
Speaker 9: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
10:41
Speaker 9: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
10:44

Speaker 2: Absolute from the home of the First Amendment, First thing today.
13:31
Speaker 4: Thank you for joining us on this Tedsday morning, where
13:34
Speaker 4: you tell us how the news of the day is
13:37
Speaker 4: impacting you at four three four eight eight two four
13:40
Speaker 4: two one seven. You can also wind up hooking up
13:45
Speaker 4: with us text message through that number as well, or
13:48
Speaker 4: email JT in the morning radio at gmail dot com.
13:56
Speaker 4: We got much going on, and I just thought this
14:00
Speaker 4: story jumped off the page at me as the European
14:06
Speaker 4: Union is striking back at Donald Trump and in such
14:10
Speaker 4: empty saber rattling I've rarely heard so. Antonio Costa said
14:18
Speaker 4: that Europe and the United States must act as allies
14:24
Speaker 4: and the President should show European leaders respect.
14:30
Speaker 3: So I've got a question for you.
14:31
Speaker 4: And I know that there are those in the commentariat
14:34
Speaker 4: who would like to make these international relations oh mystical, fanciful,
14:46
Speaker 4: some strange interaction that needs special people to talk to.
14:53
Speaker 4: But they're really just people interacting with other people. And
15:00
Speaker 4: if you're in trouble, if you're doing self destructive things
15:07
Speaker 4: and a friend of yours takes you out for a
15:10
Speaker 4: cup of coffee and says, ah, I kind of think you're.
15:15
Speaker 3: In need of a checkup from the neck up, Joe?
15:21
Speaker 3: Is that mean? Now?
15:23
Speaker 4: I won't deny that sometimes those things go sideways. This
15:29
Speaker 4: is why they're still a profession of professional interventionists. You
15:38
Speaker 4: show up at some place, Hey, why don't you come over.
15:40
Speaker 4: We're gonna have some friends, we're going to watch the game.
15:42
Speaker 4: You get there and all the chairs are in a
15:44
Speaker 4: circle in the middle of the room, and there's some
15:47
Speaker 4: strange person there with.
15:48
Speaker 3: A notepad, and what are they doing? Who are they?
15:51
Speaker 3: And where are all my friends sitting there looking concerned?
15:54
Speaker 3: And where's the beer?
15:58
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's how you know, But it's it's your friends
16:02
Speaker 4: trying to get you to, you know, go back to
16:06
Speaker 4: who you were, to live up to the things that
16:09
Speaker 4: they think you should be able to do. Maybe you've
16:12
Speaker 4: kind of gone off the rails. Maybe you're gambling, or
16:15
Speaker 4: you're drinking, or you're you're womanizing or philandering in some way.
16:23
Speaker 4: Who am I to judge? Oh that's right, that's what
16:26
Speaker 4: you pay me for.
16:28
Speaker 2: Uh.
16:28
Speaker 4: So your friend will call you out, and sometimes they
16:32
Speaker 4: do it privately. Maybe your friend pulls you aside and says, hey,
16:38
Speaker 4: all the all the drugs you're doing really not helping you,
16:44
Speaker 4: you know, when you had to call me last week
16:46
Speaker 4: and I had to help you at work and all
16:49
Speaker 4: this stuff is And often your friend's first reactions.
16:54
Speaker 3: Well, what kind of friend do you? Would you stand
16:58
Speaker 3: up for me?
17:00
Speaker 4: And that's what's going on right now with the European Union.
17:03
Speaker 4: President Trump, I presume at some point had had quiet
17:06
Speaker 4: discussions with Emmanuel Macrone or you name it, Keir Starmer,
17:12
Speaker 4: somebody who's been said, hey, this is not helping. You're
17:18
Speaker 4: not helping yourself. Your countries are a mess. And honestly,
17:23
Speaker 4: there's a reasonable number of people like dude, I thought
17:26
Speaker 4: Trump was supposed to make America great. Why does he
17:29
Speaker 4: care if France or Germany is great? Because if the
17:33
Speaker 4: Western world is great, then the Eastern world can't insert
17:37
Speaker 4: its dictatorial, dehumanizing rhetoric into our schools and have our
17:44
Speaker 4: kids go yeah, well that kind of makes sense, isn't it.
17:47
Speaker 4: I think there's people who shouldn't be allowed out in public.
17:52
Speaker 4: So you need the Western world to be strong. And
18:01
Speaker 4: you know, in the abstract of this make America affordable
18:05
Speaker 4: again thing, and we've got more folks who are weighing.
18:07
Speaker 3: In on it.
18:08
Speaker 4: Talk about a classic hit, I wish it was intensity.
18:13
Speaker 4: We've got to figure out a way to get the
18:14
Speaker 4: slim shady in here, because who's back back again. The
18:20
Speaker 4: greatest hits from you know, the man who gave you
18:23
Speaker 4: Obamacare is back, wants to go back into Congress to
18:27
Speaker 4: do more good for you. But we'll get into that
18:31
Speaker 4: a little bit later. But tariff's, international trade, all of
18:39
Speaker 4: these things that the left are trying to blame for
18:43
Speaker 4: why things cost more, because it's a punching bag, and
18:49
Speaker 4: rather than hitting you, they want to hit the punching bag.
18:54
Speaker 4: And what President Trump is saying is that our European
18:58
Speaker 4: allies need to be, you know, as good as we are.
19:03
Speaker 4: And and if we're all great, if all of our
19:06
Speaker 4: countries are great, we do well. And his warning shot
19:11
Speaker 4: was that it's not going well in these European countries.
19:14
Speaker 4: And rather than saying, well, you know, it's we're close
19:18
Speaker 4: allies and President Trump wants the best for us, they
19:23
Speaker 4: do what a lot of your friends would do.
19:25
Speaker 3: Well, what kind of friend to you.
19:27
Speaker 4: I gotta have a few beers, you know, so it's lunchtime,
19:30
Speaker 4: but you know people have They wouldn't sell it if
19:33
Speaker 4: it wasn't okay, you know. And and so that that
19:37
Speaker 4: first defensive blast out of Costa seems to be where
19:42
Speaker 4: we are right now. Rather than having a reasonable introspective
19:48
Speaker 4: look now, I don't know what an international intervention looks like.
19:54
Speaker 4: If you all sit around a room in the Hague,
19:56
Speaker 4: and you know, Costa walks in and there's a bunch
20:00
Speaker 4: of leaders sitting around on folding chairs and a facilitator,
20:04
Speaker 4: I don't know.
20:04
Speaker 3: It could be. It's fanciful to think of that.
20:08
Speaker 4: But they need to check themselves before they wreck themselves.
20:12
Speaker 3: As simple as that.
20:13
Speaker 4: Because if that part of the Western world old falls,
20:16
Speaker 4: just as it nearly did in World War Two, you know,
20:21
Speaker 4: there's not going to be a lot America can do. Sure,
20:23
Speaker 4: we have a lot of our own resources, but eventually
20:26
Speaker 4: we get very isolated and it's not good for anyone.
20:31
Speaker 3: You me, or anyone on the phone at.
20:32
Speaker 4: Four three four eight eight two four two one seven,
20:35
Speaker 4: Good morning, you're on the air, first thing this morning
20:37
Speaker 4: with Joe.
20:38
Speaker 3: Who's this?
20:43
Speaker 4: Hang on a second, we can't hear you, Bob. Hang on,
20:46
Speaker 4: Let's get Moscow. Bob into the system.
20:48
Speaker 2: Here.

21:08
Speaker 15: that he'll have elections in Ukraine only if you it's
21:12
Speaker 15: the United States and Europe guarantees security in Ukraine during
21:18
Speaker 15: the elections, which means he wants them to put military

Speaker 15: people on the ground in Ukraine from the United States
21:26
Speaker 15: and NATO, which is an absolute, definitely no from Putin,

Speaker 7: Considered by most Optimized curcumin is one of the few
24:07
Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi'm
24:12
Speaker 7: doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized
24:18
Speaker 7: curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program.
24:23
Speaker 7: It makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation
24:27
Speaker 7: is a key component to our overall health. The Mayo
24:31
Speaker 7: Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has
24:36
Speaker 7: antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent cancer
24:42
Speaker 7: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
24:45
Speaker 7: many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy

Speaker 2: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
28:33
Speaker 4: Oh damn, I wonder, I wonder if the Russians used
28:36
Speaker 4: that Bob in Moscow is on what this was talking
28:40
Speaker 4: about this issue? Uh, and that President Trump is correct
28:45
Speaker 4: in his determination that Europe is falling apart under itself.
28:49
Speaker 4: When we ran into the news at half past go ahead,
28:51
Speaker 4: Bob finished up the.
28:52
Speaker 15: Country holding Christianity faith alive. That's Israel and Russia, and
28:58
Speaker 15: it's Russia fall. The Islamic World's going to take over
29:03
Speaker 15: Europe completely, and the United States will eventually fall.
29:08
Speaker 4: And this is one of those Marxist tactics, which is
29:11
Speaker 4: use your rules against you. It's really a Lynsky you know,
29:14
Speaker 4: describes it very deadly. It use your you know, use
29:18
Speaker 4: your opponent's own rules against them. And Europe has not
29:24
Speaker 4: been able to grapple with this, and America is fumbling
29:28
Speaker 4: the ball at the five yard line too. You have
29:31
Speaker 4: a right to practice your religion until it impacts someone else,
29:35
Speaker 4: and then it becomes criminal. And it's the same problem
29:39
Speaker 4: we had with communism, Bob. You can't arrest a belief system.
29:45
Speaker 4: You can arrest the people who perverted in people's name
29:50
Speaker 4: and and and make their actions, but we we hate that,
29:54
Speaker 4: We we loathe to do that. We won't talk about
29:57
Speaker 4: the specific individuals or or groups of individuals that will
30:01
Speaker 4: go out and try to do mayhem. We want to
30:04
Speaker 4: blame some inanimate object. We've grown so fixated on whether
30:09
Speaker 4: it's the gun or the religious beliefs, or the newspaper article,
30:15
Speaker 4: or it's never the guy's fault or the gal's fault
30:19
Speaker 4: that causes the terrorist act. And we need to get
30:22
Speaker 4: back to punishing those people.
30:26
Speaker 15: But it's not been that way for a long time,
30:28
Speaker 15: ever since the sixties, with all the covert operations of
30:32
Speaker 15: the CIA, and now we're at the point kg where
30:37
Speaker 15: Russia is still Russia is still with their immigration if
30:41
Speaker 15: like when the Crocus attack happened, there was a big
30:45
Speaker 15: crackdown in immigrants and illegal immigrants in the country and
30:48
Speaker 15: there still is. If you do something desperate against the
30:52
Speaker 15: Russian Federation, you your family, your relatives are all going
30:58
Speaker 15: to lose the Russian citizenship. That's what they do to
31:00
Speaker 15: these people. You're like, that's like the Afghan terrists that
31:07
Speaker 15: shot and killed the noble. Gotcha again, think about the
31:12
Speaker 15: garden in Washington, d C. Not only would he yeah
31:17
Speaker 15: just recently, not only would heat the National Guard, not
31:20
Speaker 15: only would he be be supported, but every family member, bloodline, aunts, uncles, brothers,
31:28
Speaker 15: every single one of them would be deported. That's what
31:30
Speaker 15: they do in Russia. That's how they solved the issue.
31:34
Speaker 15: They had an interesting situation here where immigrants teenager fifteen
31:40
Speaker 15: sixteen Desic created a war memorial. His whole family, relatives
31:48
Speaker 15: and everyone else have lost their Russian citizenship and maps
31:51
Speaker 15: go back to their own country from where they were from.
31:54
Speaker 4: Can you imagine the aclu cases you know they would have.
31:59
Speaker 4: They wouldn't have enough lawyers on retainer to have good stuff. Bob,
32:03
Speaker 4: thank you for the perspective of my friend yep So
32:07
Speaker 4: for an example of this mania. Just down the road
32:12
Speaker 4: from our flagship is a little old paper mill town
32:16
Speaker 4: that's quickly becoming the Las Vegas of Virginia. Danville sold
32:23
Speaker 4: I was like, you know what casinos work? And I
32:27
Speaker 4: guess you know who am I to argue that gambling
32:31
Speaker 4: it helps kids in school? These syntaxes and all that
32:37
Speaker 4: people claim, Oh, you know Colorado, great example. How many
32:42
Speaker 4: billions of dollars have you fallen short of the predicted
32:45
Speaker 4: amount of tax revenue the wacky Tobacci was going to
32:49
Speaker 4: earn you. Virginia is going to go through the same
32:52
Speaker 4: thing with gambling. But down in Danville, Virginia, you may
33:00
Speaker 4: have seen this. Sadly, this horrific story got less national
33:06
Speaker 4: attention than the drunk raccoon passed out in an ashl
33:10
Speaker 4: in Virginia liquor store city councilor sitting member of the
33:17
Speaker 4: Danville City council was attacked by a resident and lit
33:24
Speaker 4: on fire like he was doused in accelerant. I'm sure
33:28
Speaker 4: if it was kerosene or gasoline who was doused with
33:32
Speaker 4: an accelerant and lit on fire, he spent months in
33:36
Speaker 4: the hospital. So grievously injured was this guy? And yet
33:40
Speaker 4: we're still here trying to decide whither this guy is
33:44
Speaker 4: sane enough to stand trial. Now, luckily a judge just
33:48
Speaker 4: ruled that he is competent to stand trial. But you
33:52
Speaker 4: think about this for a second, So is he insane?
33:57
Speaker 4: Is the decision to light somebody on fire something a
34:00
Speaker 4: sane person does. No, So the defense saying my client
34:06
Speaker 4: should be found not guilty for the reason of insanity,
34:10
Speaker 4: I think is a victim's last kind of way of
34:14
Speaker 4: looking at it.
34:15
Speaker 3: Now.
34:15
Speaker 4: I'm not saying we can't have heart. One of my
34:17
Speaker 4: dear friends helped establish drug courts and things like that
34:21
Speaker 4: that help people get out from under the yokes of
34:24
Speaker 4: addiction and things like that, rather than just throwing them
34:27
Speaker 4: all in the whoscal And the trials only just beginning
34:33
Speaker 4: for this guy. But there are people who are like, well, well,
34:37
Speaker 4: why did he do? I don't you don't get to
34:40
Speaker 4: pour gasoline on somebody and let them light them on fire.
34:44
Speaker 3: There is no why to this.
34:48
Speaker 4: That's where Western civilization is being torn apart. Is this
34:53
Speaker 4: fixation we've developed on why we won't ask our elected
34:58
Speaker 4: officials why they inact restrictive legislations, but.
35:05
Speaker 3: We will insist.
35:06
Speaker 4: We want to know why some kid in Norfolk picks
35:12
Speaker 4: up a gun at mom's house and goes and shoots
35:15
Speaker 4: his teacher in the face. We want to know why
35:19
Speaker 4: that happened. And there's some efficacy towards preventing these things
35:26
Speaker 4: from ever happening again. But the teacher again got more
35:33
Speaker 4: national attention for her horrific experience than the guy who
35:38
Speaker 4: is lit on fire in Danville. These situations happen all
35:45
Speaker 4: the time, and we bend over sideways trying to come up, well,
35:50
Speaker 4: he should be forgiving. It's some of what I'm reading
35:53
Speaker 4: in this Butler investigation. And then now, well what radicalized him? Well,
35:57
Speaker 4: at some point the fact that he was radicalized becomes
36:02
Speaker 4: the salient point. And what Bob was saying is, you
36:07
Speaker 4: know what about the family members. And there's always an
36:10
Speaker 4: ACLU backed case where somebody hasn't talked to their family
36:15
Speaker 4: in decades, or they've grown strange because of their radical beliefs.
36:22
Speaker 4: But you know, see something, say something. It's very similar
36:27
Speaker 4: to what we were saying about the president in an
36:30
Speaker 4: abstract as Allies saying, Europe needs to get its excrement
36:34
Speaker 4: together so that these bastions of freedom, the bastions of
36:44
Speaker 4: economic prosperity, which is why people want to emigrate to them,
36:50
Speaker 4: can remain in that position because if they fall, they
36:54
Speaker 4: become ilhan Omar was complaining on the joy Read podcast,
37:00
Speaker 4: which I know you're I'm sure a big fan of
37:02
Speaker 4: the joy Read podcast. Dozens and dozens of people downloaded
37:08
Speaker 4: every day complaining that President Trump called some of these
37:16
Speaker 4: countries beep whole countries. She didn't defend whether they were
37:22
Speaker 4: or not. She just said it wasn't right for him
37:24
Speaker 4: to say it. We never fix anything if we won't
37:33
Speaker 4: address the problems. And that's what we're dancing around like, well,
37:39
Speaker 4: they have a right to their religion, not if it
37:41
Speaker 4: means blowing someone up or lighting them on fire or
37:45
Speaker 4: blowing up a building, or no, it doesn't. You don't
37:48
Speaker 4: get to do that. Why is it so hard to
37:52
Speaker 4: say no, you don't get to do that, and you
37:54
Speaker 4: can't wrap it in some religiosity and then pretend that
37:58
Speaker 4: it's all going to be.
37:59
Speaker 21: At Hotshot Secret, we share the science behind common diesel
38:04
Speaker 21: problems in their solutions.
38:06
Speaker 3: For example, diesel fuel setane levels.
38:08
Speaker 21: In many states, the setane rating and diesel fuel is
38:11
Speaker 21: forty two to forty five. Most diesel engines operate more
38:14
Speaker 21: efficiently with the cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one.
38:17
Speaker 21: Treatment of hot Shot Secret Diesel extreme will raise your
38:20
Speaker 21: seatane seven points increase fuel economy and improve cold starts.
38:24
Speaker 21: Due to a cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons in
38:27
Speaker 21: particulate matter in your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of
38:30
Speaker 21: your diesel particulate filter. Using Diesel Extreme generates eighty three
38:34
Speaker 21: percent less DPF regenerations. The six and one Diesel Extreme

41:08
Speaker 17: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
41:12
Speaker 17: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
41:15
Speaker 17: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
41:21

44:17
Speaker 16: Things are out of control.
44:18
Speaker 22: People are angry and confused, and they have a right
44:21
Speaker 22: to be. I'm Tom Perry, Yellow and I'm running for
44:30
Speaker 22: Congress because this is an all hands on deck moment.
44:33
Speaker 4: Yeah, we found a way to get it around the
44:35
Speaker 4: ted'ste requirements of Ted NuGen Bumper music. Uh there, And
44:40
Speaker 4: yeah they're motown guys anyway, I all think they hang
44:44
Speaker 4: not the way Kid Rock does with the Motor City Madman.
44:47
Speaker 4: But the man who gave you Obamacare. So important was
44:55
Speaker 4: Tom to the establishment of the Patient Protection and Affordable
44:59
Speaker 4: Care Act. His was the tie breaking vote to bring
45:03
Speaker 4: it to the full House, and funny enough, his ad
45:08
Speaker 4: announcing that in this new age where even Republicans are
45:13
Speaker 4: afraid of saying anything bad about the Patient Protection and
45:17
Speaker 4: Affordable Care Act, His ad goes on to say.
45:20
Speaker 22: They're prioritizing tax cuts for huge corporations over cutting the
45:24
Speaker 22: cost of healthcare and housing.
45:28
Speaker 4: But Tom, back back in twenty ten, you were the
45:32
Speaker 4: tie breaking vote for I guess it was late oh nine.
45:36
Speaker 4: Remember Nancy Pelosi walking across with the gavel in her hand,
45:41
Speaker 4: and there you were, and they needed the guy who
45:44
Speaker 4: was going to be the tie breaking vote to bring
45:47
Speaker 4: the bill to the floor.
45:49
Speaker 3: And you were that guy.
45:51
Speaker 4: And now you're saying you're running for Congress again because
45:54
Speaker 4: the cost of healthcare is too high.
45:57
Speaker 3: I mean, there's a lot.
45:58
Speaker 4: Of people who were playing with their multiple faces on this,
46:03
Speaker 4: but you were the guy. You were the King of Obamacare.
46:08
Speaker 4: I even gave you a certain amount of gravitas because
46:11
Speaker 4: you committed political Harry Curry on the Grand stage stage
46:18
Speaker 4: cost yourself and Barack Obama showing you how Chicago works,
46:24
Speaker 4: rewarded you by sending you to the Congo and making
46:30
Speaker 4: you ambassador that every week you were putting out another
46:35
Speaker 4: genocidal attack on some poor group of ethnic minorities, and
46:43
Speaker 4: you'd have to broker some peace settlement. So okay, okay,
46:47
Speaker 4: we've killed enough of the ethnic minorities. We'll stop now
46:49
Speaker 4: for a while, Ambassador Periello. And then after finally wearing
46:55
Speaker 4: out his welcome in Sub Saharan Africa, Tom went on
46:59
Speaker 4: and became the second in command until Alex got old
47:04
Speaker 4: enough to you know, finished.
47:05
Speaker 3: His bar mitzvah.
47:07
Speaker 4: Became second in command at the Open Society Foundation, that is,
47:15
Speaker 4: that is George Soros's group. He was George's guy, of course,
47:19
Speaker 4: like I said, until Alex finished his bar mitzvah, and
47:23
Speaker 4: then and then Alex is now taking it over. So
47:25
Speaker 4: I guess that gives Tom the free time to come
47:29
Speaker 4: back and run for his congressional seat back. And when
47:36
Speaker 4: he when his announcement came. And I've been friendly with
47:42
Speaker 4: Tom for some time, I grew crestfallingly disappointed with him.
47:46
Speaker 4: The last time I saw Tom Periello in person, he
47:50
Speaker 4: and I were both on Market Street in Charlottesville on
47:53
Speaker 4: August twelfth of twenty seventeen. No, no, he wasn't there
47:57
Speaker 4: with the with the Nazis, and he wasn't there with
48:00
Speaker 4: Black Lives Matter either. His to be legitimately fair, his
48:03
Speaker 4: sister ran a school not far from the riot scene,
48:08
Speaker 4: and he was outside, you know, trying to be big
48:11
Speaker 4: brother and protect his sister's school. He's a little, you know,
48:16
Speaker 4: small private school there on Market Street in Charlottesville. So
48:20
Speaker 4: as the rioters, the few that remained, the half a
48:24
Speaker 4: dozen or so Nazis that finally got ousted from the
48:28
Speaker 4: park go running down the street with Black Lives Matter
48:30
Speaker 4: in tow I stopped and I said, hey, Tom, you've
48:33
Speaker 4: just spent you know, a few years in Sub Saharan Africa.
48:37
Speaker 4: How does this rioting compare. And he couldn't let go
48:40
Speaker 4: of the Donald Trump stuff. Well you see what Donald
48:42
Speaker 4: Trump did. I said, there's nothing Donald Trump in here. Yeah,
48:45
Speaker 4: some of them have their red ball caps on. But
48:47
Speaker 4: he couldn't let go of it. And I thought I
48:49
Speaker 4: was so disappointed. I thought I could actually get, you know,
48:53
Speaker 4: a reasonable conversation, but he was. He's a classic example
48:57
Speaker 4: of somebody who can rebroadcast the room to so dangerously slick.
49:03
Speaker 4: He would go at the request of tea party organizations
49:07
Speaker 4: and go and be the keynote speaker and answer questions
49:11
Speaker 4: at tea party events. Our friend Carol, who used to
49:17
Speaker 4: be the chair of the tea party, she would have
49:19
Speaker 4: him and he would he would come and he would read,
49:21
Speaker 4: he would retransmit the vibe in the room. He wouldn't
49:24
Speaker 4: say anything, he'd retransmit the vibe in the room. But
49:29
Speaker 4: this that that bit, since he was the tie breaking
49:32
Speaker 4: vote that gave the world the Patient Protection and Affordable
49:36
Speaker 4: Care Act.
49:36
Speaker 22: Cent prioritizing tax cuts for huge corporations over cutting the
49:40
Speaker 22: cost of healthcare and housing.
49:42
Speaker 4: Oh and by the way, there are tariffs, you know too.
49:45
Speaker 4: Let's not forget the tariffs. Oh yes, let's let's he
49:48
Speaker 4: wants to bring up the tariff.
49:50
Speaker 22: Federal government turns our region's largest employer, the University of Virginia.
49:53
Speaker 3: Into a political punching bag.
49:55
Speaker 16: Our congressman was nowhere to be seen.
49:59
Speaker 4: Let's discuss whether or not a university should be your
50:02
Speaker 4: largest employer. And they want to cut taxes for corporations,
50:12
Speaker 4: but they want to raise taris, which are taxes on corporations.
50:15
Speaker 4: It's just it's funny. But it's just I saw the
50:18
Speaker 4: announcement yesterday and I said, oh, Tom's back, And you
50:25
Speaker 4: know it's in relation to He's even sad that it's
50:33
Speaker 4: because of Abigail Spanberger's victory in Virginia that has empowered
50:38
Speaker 4: him to come back and make a comeback story and
50:42
Speaker 4: come back and help left the ship, all the ship
50:45
Speaker 4: to the left, especially if the General Assembly does their
50:50
Speaker 4: redistricting and creates all these districts that are two or
50:54
Speaker 4: three percent more Democrat lean than Republican lean, which is
51:00
Speaker 4: their claim that there's what they want to do, and
51:04
Speaker 4: you're probably going to see some Republicans do the same
51:07
Speaker 4: thing in states that are getting reader. But let's break
51:14
Speaker 4: into the tariff question, because President Trump on his tour
51:19
Speaker 4: yesterday in Pennsylvania talking about the tariffs, and this is
51:25
Speaker 4: the crux of this make America Affordable again argument of
51:30
Speaker 4: the Abigail Spanbergers of the world and the Tom perry
51:34
Speaker 4: Ellos of the world, and the Adam Shifts when they're
51:37
Speaker 4: not busied on YouTube making some silly comments about Donald
51:42
Speaker 4: Trump and the realities of what the tariffs have done
51:50
Speaker 4: regarding what we can do, and why it is so
51:54
Speaker 4: important for these people to do what they can do
51:57
Speaker 4: before the midterms, because if they can flip the midterms,
52:04
Speaker 4: then it's all done and the next two years is
52:06
Speaker 4: just going to be impeached Trump and the MAGA movement
52:11
Speaker 4: will go the way of the Tea Party.
52:13
Speaker 3: Movement that Tom Periello faced down.
52:16
Speaker 4: It'll still exist there'll still be some pockets of it,
52:19
Speaker 4: but it's not going to win presidencies until somebody else
52:23
Speaker 4: comes along and tosses over some tables in the temple
52:27
Speaker 4: and says, you guys are corrupted, and this is coming
52:36
Speaker 4: soon to a theater near you. As the midterms just
52:40
Speaker 4: start to heat up. And it's funny because as soon
52:44
Speaker 4: as Tom announced, a whole bunch of Democrats started to
52:47
Speaker 4: announce that, ah, you know what, I'm not running.
52:49
Speaker 11: Then crime across the country is at an all time high.
52:54
Speaker 11: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
52:56
Speaker 11: a risk. We don't want the feeling of being unprotected
52:59
