Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: For you from Joe Thomas. It's first thing today.
- 0:12Speaker 2: The reason why I brought this up there, hang out
- 0:15Speaker 2: to the hang out one second, Joel, hang out, hang
- 0:18Speaker 2: out one second. This Christmas Eve morning, thank you for
- 0:28Speaker 2: joining in with us and letting us be of service
- 0:30Speaker 2: to you gathering around the talk media network like a
- 0:34Speaker 2: yule log. Just don't throw us in the fireplace and
- 0:38Speaker 2: hit the ignite switch. We celebrate the preparations for a
- 0:47Speaker 2: pretty big birthday celebration birthday celebration of a fellow in
- 0:53Speaker 2: a quick text message before we get back to you, Joel.
- 0:56Speaker 2: At four three four eight eight two four two seven,
- 0:58Speaker 2: we were talking about the role of the separation of
- 1:04Speaker 2: church and state in our part of this story, and
- 1:13Speaker 2: you know, and the importance of it, and what could
- 1:17Speaker 2: have travailed if we continued to allow the kings and
- 1:24Speaker 2: the crowned heads to continue to manipulate our faiths in
- 1:29Speaker 2: order to divide us. Well, look at what happened in France,
- 1:36Speaker 2: and it was very much that very thing. The crown
- 1:40Speaker 2: heads were using their divine authority. You know, if you
- 1:45Speaker 2: will to rule over France and reign with impunity. Marie
- 1:55Speaker 2: Antoinette famously asking her handmaiden. Why the the peasants were rioting,
- 2:03Speaker 2: And she's told when she was told that they had
- 2:06Speaker 2: no bread, it's her answer, famously, we'll let them eat
- 2:10Speaker 2: cake then, as if such an idea was anathema. And
- 2:16Speaker 2: you can almost hear those kind of discussions going on
- 2:19Speaker 2: in Democratic Party cloakrooms. Why are they rioting because they're poor.
- 2:26Speaker 2: We'll give them money. Then they can't buy anything with
- 2:30Speaker 2: the money they've got. Give them more. Because as big
- 2:40Speaker 2: as Christmas is, it's also small, because Christmas is about
- 2:49Speaker 2: the small things. Christmas is about a baby, about one person,
- 3:01Speaker 2: about one person saying, hey, this is wrong, against the
- 3:06Speaker 2: weight of the most mighty army ever known to man,
- 3:16Speaker 2: that had infiltrated his own government, his own church, and
- 3:24Speaker 2: and and a point I wanted to make based on
- 3:28Speaker 2: that point was that Jesus didn't set out on his
- 3:36Speaker 2: way to the crucifixion, even even as he arrived in Jerusalem,
- 3:40Speaker 2: there was no intent to start a new church. Peter
- 3:47Speaker 2: and Paul or Saul or you know, all the Apostles.
- 3:51Speaker 2: They weren't going to become saints of a new church.
- 3:55Speaker 2: They were trying to save the old one. It's a
- 3:59Speaker 2: point Joel I'm sorry to like the villains in the Incredibles.
- 4:06Speaker 2: I got monologuing again. Hang on again one second, and
- 4:11Speaker 2: we'll get the first things out of the way. And
- 4:12Speaker 2: I want to hear why you were bringing up the
- 4:15Speaker 2: tomorrow Tomorrow Land and yesterday Land, the two islands in
- 4:19Speaker 2: between Russia. There. The Supreme Court has rejected the Trump
- 4:24Speaker 2: administration's request to continue the deployment of National Guards troops
- 4:29Speaker 2: into Chicago. They write, at this preliminary stage, the government
- 4:34Speaker 2: has failed to identify a source of authority that would
- 4:37Speaker 2: allow the military to execute the laws in Illinois. Meanwhile,
- 4:41Speaker 2: the administration is sending three hundred and fifty National Guard
- 4:45Speaker 2: troops to New Orleans for New Years, launching another federal deployment,
- 4:50Speaker 2: but this one specifically targeted on the terror attacks that
- 4:54Speaker 2: happened the previous New Years. The administration will begin garnishing
- 4:59Speaker 2: wage of student loan borrowers in default beginning in January,
- 5:04Speaker 2: the Education Department said to a statement, we expect the
- 5:07Speaker 2: first notices to be sent approximately one hundred to one
- 5:12Speaker 2: thousand defaulted borrowers on the week of January seventh, and
- 5:15Speaker 2: the notices will increase in scale on a month to
- 5:19Speaker 2: month basis. President Trump said on Monday at Mari Lango
- 5:24Speaker 2: while announcing the new Trump Class destroyer that when asked
- 5:29Speaker 2: about the oil seized and the tankers trying to sneak
- 5:32Speaker 2: out of Venezuela, he said, maybe we'll sell it, maybe
- 5:36Speaker 2: we'll keep it, maybe we'll use it the strategic reserves.
- 5:40Speaker 2: We're keeping it or keeping the ships. Also with the
- 5:45Speaker 2: announcement that Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry has been tabbed to
- 5:49Speaker 2: be the administration's Special envoy to Greenland, Denmark is pushing back.
- 5:56Speaker 2: Danish Foreign Minister Lars Rasmussen said in a faith spoke
- 6:00Speaker 2: post President Trump's announcement about the stop it that sounds
- 6:07Speaker 2: way too much like this in this Swedish Chef. And
- 6:11Speaker 2: I'm not using the clip President Trump's announcement about the
- 6:16Speaker 2: appointment it. I said, yeah, go look it up, Swedish chef.
- 6:21Speaker 2: Excuse me. The President's announcement about the appointment of a
- 6:25Speaker 2: special envoy to Greenland, and in particular statements about the
- 6:28Speaker 2: purpose hereby, is completely unacceptable. That is why we are
- 6:33Speaker 2: now convening the US ambassador to the Department of State
- 6:36Speaker 2: for a discussion, and the State Department announced Tuesday, it's
- 6:40Speaker 2: borrow borrowing five Europeans from the US for radical activism
- 6:46Speaker 2: and weaponized non government organizations. Those are some of our
- 6:51Speaker 2: first things on this Christmas Eve morning? Are your stockings
- 6:55Speaker 2: hung by the chimney with care?
- 7:02Speaker 3: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
- 7:06Speaker 4: Yes?
- 7:07Speaker 3: Actually three known gas is I I'm doctor Mitch, and
- 7:12Speaker 3: nitric oxide is a gas that's readily made all day
- 7:16Speaker 3: long to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood
- 7:20Speaker 3: vessel walls. By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood,
- 7:26Speaker 3: oxygen and nutrients to every part of your body. Both
- 7:31Speaker 3: age and poor diet can lead to a loss of
- 7:34Speaker 3: this precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
- 7:38Speaker 3: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in

- 13:12Speaker 1: First Thing Today on the Tunk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
- 13:17Speaker 1: the second most famous Thomas and Charlotte's Willing.
- 13:30Speaker 3: Heard more spearing the horned book waiting to clipping and.
- 13:34Speaker 2: You know that's the stuff that keeps us from carrying
- 13:37Speaker 2: the gravitytass that we could. That is not the Danish ambassador.
- 13:42Speaker 2: It's not even Danish. It's the Swedish chef. Although I
- 13:49Speaker 2: get what you were doing there, hamp even gets it.
- 13:51Speaker 2: Hamp down on the treasure coach, said uh in a
- 13:56Speaker 2: text to us Denmark a Facebook post. Lol, you know
- 14:03Speaker 2: it's twenty twenty five, hamp this is you know what
- 14:07Speaker 2: would Henry Kissinger do with an Instagram feed? Huh? Think
- 14:13Speaker 2: about it a second before we get back to Joel.
- 14:17Speaker 2: Since time was on his mind when we when we
- 14:21Speaker 2: were going to the news at the top of the hour,
- 14:24Speaker 2: it gives me an entree to Bob's graphic for this morning.
- 14:29Speaker 2: That well, it's it is a graphic. It's a picture
- 14:32Speaker 2: of words. I can read it. Worrying is carrying tomorrow's
- 14:38Speaker 2: load with today's strength, carrying two days at once. It's
- 14:44Speaker 2: moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worry does not empty
- 14:48Speaker 2: tomorrow of sorrow, but it empties today of strength. Corey
- 14:54Speaker 2: ten Boom there anyway, Joe, I don't know if that's
- 14:57Speaker 2: where you were going with your point, but you brought
- 15:00Speaker 2: up tomorrow land and today land, the islands off the
- 15:03Speaker 2: Allutians there, So what was your point, John?
- 15:05Speaker 18: Time isn't by the clock.
- 15:07Speaker 2: It's by what God gives.
- 15:08Speaker 18: Us and our heart and our breathing, and then also
- 15:13Speaker 18: making us have a soul. And Jesus came on this
- 15:17Speaker 18: earth not to separate us, but to bring us together. Amen,
- 15:22Speaker 18: And I did something kind of by your inspiration. I
- 15:28Speaker 18: sent out a few cards to everybody else that you know.
- 15:31Speaker 18: I usually don't get a chance to send out cards,
- 15:33Speaker 18: but I thought I was going to do something positive.
- 15:37Speaker 18: But one of my friends haven't communicated with about probably
- 15:41Speaker 18: for about three years or some stupid disagreement. It all
- 15:44Speaker 18: happened on communicating by text anyway. But I sent a
- 15:48Speaker 18: card and then I got a text message yesterday, Hey,
- 15:51Speaker 18: Merry Christmas, and he showed me. I gave him these fish,
- 15:55Speaker 18: these hanging fish that I got from Florida from thirty
- 15:57Speaker 18: years ago. But it was nice to see that we're
- 16:00Speaker 18: able to talk again. And like you said, that's a
- 16:03Speaker 18: big part of Christmas too, and everybody kind of praying
- 16:07Speaker 18: for each other too.
- 16:08Speaker 2: Well. But that's the thing is, you know the I
- 16:11Speaker 2: know who the people are who are trying to divide us,
- 16:15Speaker 2: and they don't have our best interests at heart, So
- 16:17Speaker 2: why would we be listening to them? I mean, well, sure,
- 16:21Speaker 2: am I going to see something differently than you are?
- 16:23Speaker 2: Of course that's the wonders of the individual. But that
- 16:27Speaker 2: doesn't mean I have to have dominion over you to
- 16:31Speaker 2: make my view of something true or not.
- 16:36Speaker 18: And people want to say that our religion, our Christian faith,
- 16:40Speaker 18: is intrusive, but it's not. It's quite the opposite.
- 16:44Speaker 2: It's inviting.
- 16:45Speaker 18: It wants to bring people in and it's a matter
- 16:47Speaker 18: of people opening up their heart and their mind and
- 16:51Speaker 18: their soul to understand it. And I've seen a lot
- 16:55Speaker 18: of people who have I didn't even think worship and
- 17:00Speaker 18: that I'm pointing my finger at them, but come to
- 17:02Speaker 18: me and say, hey, you know, I'm on your side.
- 17:05Speaker 18: Things are going to be okay. But you know, I
- 17:08Speaker 18: still feel kind of turmoil because I still haven't had
- 17:12Speaker 18: any you know, positive news on anything. But I'm trying
- 17:15Speaker 18: to keep my hope and faith alive.
- 17:16Speaker 2: Well, but that's it, I mean faith. If faith isn't
- 17:19Speaker 2: about the positive news the negative news, it is that
- 17:22Speaker 2: the sun is rising not far from where you are
- 17:25Speaker 2: in the east, just as it's going to do tomorrow,
- 17:28Speaker 2: just as it did two thousand and fifty eight years ago.
- 17:31Speaker 2: Thank you. That's okay to keep checking my mauth here.
- 17:35Speaker 2: You know that that nature and this world that we
- 17:39Speaker 2: were given to shepherd is everlasting. And that was long
- 17:45Speaker 2: before Jefferson was born, long before Adams or Franklin or
- 17:49Speaker 2: any of the Founding Fathers long before Joe Thomas or
- 17:53Speaker 2: Joel in Florida, or Rush Limbaugh or anyone else. You know,
- 17:57Speaker 2: we came to this earth and it's our garden to guard,
- 18:01Speaker 2: and that's a bigger deal than anything, and we've got
- 18:05Speaker 2: to do it together. And it's just it's sad to me.
- 18:10Speaker 2: And I know that sometimes dear friends of the program, say, Joe,
- 18:14Speaker 2: get a go, get your blood pressure medication. Joe, you
- 18:16Speaker 2: seem a little hyped up this morning, Because sometimes I
- 18:19Speaker 2: just feel it's so angering to listen to people trying
- 18:23Speaker 2: to divide us so that they can get momentary political power.
- 18:27Speaker 2: And you know, I was going to make a glib
- 18:29Speaker 2: comment maybe you'll like it. I'll use it on you
- 18:32Speaker 2: since since sometimes a live studio audience is better for
- 18:35Speaker 2: this kind of thing. The Romans being confronted with that
- 18:41Speaker 2: radical conservative rabbi from Galilee committed the greatest political blunder
- 18:46Speaker 2: and human history until they thought, until somebody thought that
- 18:50Speaker 2: Kamala Harris would be the right candidate for president. Hello, Hello,
- 18:56Speaker 2: is this thing on? I'm here? I'm sorry. I thought
- 18:59Speaker 2: that is a funnier joke. I'm glad we tested it
- 19:02Speaker 2: out on Joel you have a blessed Christmas eve, sir
- 19:05Speaker 2: youtub you two. Thanks Joe, Eric, So why you test
- 19:10Speaker 2: your humor out? I'm student, I'm sorry. I just thought
- 19:17Speaker 2: that was a better line than that. See this shows
- 19:20Speaker 2: you what I know. This is why you want a
- 19:22Speaker 2: writer's room there, and what.
- 19:33Speaker 18: Darren Murray, who is.
- 19:38Speaker 2: Not the Danish ambassador about Greenland. On the subject though
- 19:43Speaker 2: of the Danish ambassador on Greenland, Sherry writes in Joe,
- 19:52Speaker 2: this is wonderful theater. President Trump has managed to distract
- 19:57Speaker 2: us from Jeffrey Epstein's Island and getting us talking about
- 20:02Speaker 2: Denmark's island. So you think that all this about, you know,
- 20:08Speaker 2: jeff Landry going up to Greenland and so on and
- 20:11Speaker 2: so forth, is about distracting us from Epstein's Island. Oh
- 20:19Speaker 2: there was an email came, sure, give me the ones
- 20:23Speaker 2: from yesterday. All right, So this one, Joe is listening
- 20:31Speaker 2: to your podcasts. And I thought it was interesting. I
- 20:35Speaker 2: went looking online for other people making the connection between
- 20:40Speaker 2: the nineteen ninety six called to the FBI about child
- 20:44Speaker 2: pornography on Epstein Island, tying it to Ruby Ridge and
- 20:51Speaker 2: the branch Davidians. Where did you get that from? I
- 20:57Speaker 2: don't know. Are you an attorney? I don't know, because
- 21:02Speaker 2: sometimes you tell an attorney something and you wind up
- 21:04Speaker 2: in trouble no matter what you say. No, I mean
- 21:06Speaker 2: that was just from my own remembrances and following timelines.
- 21:11Speaker 2: That's just me. That might wind me up in more
- 21:15Speaker 2: trouble than blaming it on someone else. But no, that
- 21:19Speaker 2: was It's just us. That was Our analysis is that
- 21:22Speaker 2: you're you're gonna storm the branch Davidian's campground and Waco
- 21:28Speaker 2: over child abuse allegations and ignore Epstein Island and then
- 21:35Speaker 2: with the dozens and dozens of Bubba in hot tubs
- 21:41Speaker 2: and at dining room tables with young girls, and everyone's
- 21:45Speaker 2: still trying to make this out about Trump, and you
- 21:48Speaker 2: think you think Denmark and Greenland is a way to
- 21:53Speaker 2: distract us from something that actually makes Bill Clinton look
- 21:56Speaker 2: worse than anything else, you know, except for that wedding picture.

- 23:21Speaker 19: That's what you should use, But there are exceptions to
- 23:23Speaker 19: the rule. Many high end or luxury vehicles call for
- 23:26Speaker 19: premium or higher octane fuel, and the reason for this
- 23:29Speaker 19: is not just due to the octane rating. There are
- 23:31Speaker 19: better fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know too,
- 23:35Speaker 19: the vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
- 23:38Speaker 19: with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
- 23:41Speaker 19: their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
- 23:44Speaker 19: your fuel choices around, say every third tank full, you
- 23:47Speaker 19: may find better performance and miles per gallon because you
- 23:50Speaker 19: are cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive.
- 23:53Speaker 19: Just don't tell your mechanic you're trying to replace them
- 23:55Speaker 19: anytime soon with your automotive prescription. I'm ronin any in
- 23:58Speaker 19: the car doctor see next time.
- 24:04Speaker 3: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
- 24:08Speaker 3: actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch. And nitric
- 24:13Speaker 3: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
- 24:18Speaker 3: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
- 24:23Speaker 3: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
- 24:28Speaker 3: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 24:33Speaker 3: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
- 24:36Speaker 3: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
- 24:40Speaker 3: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
- 24:42Speaker 3: your hands and feet. Well, our product, ultimate nitric oxide,

- 32:03Speaker 23: Well, so now that we've got our meeting taking care
- 32:06Speaker 23: of tel Vini, he did not participate, so we're a
- 32:08Speaker 23: little upset with that, but other than that, we're good
- 32:10Speaker 23: to go. Just one of the things, I'm going to
- 32:12Speaker 23: probably do a couple of rants in the next year,
- 32:15Speaker 23: next year, next week, as we go into next year,
- 32:19Speaker 23: and we can ask your listeners to name or send
- 32:23Speaker 23: us a list email you, text you. I want to
- 32:27Speaker 23: try to narrow down the top ten sports stories of
- 32:29Speaker 23: twenty twenty five. You know, naturally colleagues will be in
- 32:33Speaker 23: there somewhere with all the nil you know, stuff going
- 32:35Speaker 23: on and everything, but we will try to decipher the
- 32:40Speaker 23: top ten stories of twenty twenty five. So anyway, I
- 32:44Speaker 23: just wanted to throw that out there. Now, one of
- 32:46Speaker 23: the stories has to be Michigan. Okay, Bill Pogi is
- 32:50Speaker 23: now the interim coach Okay Ward Manual has been the
- 32:53Speaker 23: ad there for nine years. In twenty twenty one. I
- 32:56Speaker 23: don't know how it happened, he signed a contract extra.
- 33:00Speaker 9: Now think about the.
- 33:01Speaker 23: Connor Stallion signs stealing issue, Jim Harbass suspension, NCAA finds
- 33:06Speaker 23: impromissible scouting, failure to monitor the program. A former coach
- 33:10Speaker 23: Matt Wise handled quarterbacks, he was fired after being indicted
- 33:13Speaker 23: on federal charges hacking personal accounts of student athletes. And then,
- 33:17Speaker 23: of course let's just top it off with a Sharon
- 33:20Speaker 23: Moore story that is dominating the headlines. With all that
- 33:24Speaker 23: being said, Pogi met with the media and said, Okay,
- 33:28Speaker 23: enough is enough.
- 33:30Speaker 12: Really it has been five years of let's just call
- 33:34Speaker 12: what it is a malfunctioning organization where there's something every year.
- 33:37Speaker 16: And I know that, I know what.
- 33:39Speaker 12: The athletic director has made very clear he doesn't.
- 33:42Speaker 2: Want any more of that.
- 33:44Speaker 12: And so if I am named the coach, which again
- 33:47Speaker 12: I don't know if I am, but there will be
- 33:49Speaker 12: a massive self examination of what happens in this building
- 33:56Speaker 12: and you can expect a lot of changes.
- 34:01Speaker 9: Well we heard haven't we heard this before?
- 34:04Speaker 2: It never happened before.
- 34:07Speaker 23: Anyway, with all that, With all that going on, so
- 34:10Speaker 23: the other story, and we touched on it the other
- 34:13Speaker 23: day yesterday, and all the headlines run together.
- 34:16Speaker 9: The NIL mess has exploded in the SEC After.
- 34:21Speaker 23: Missouri defens event, Damon Wilson the Second sued the athletic
- 34:25Speaker 23: Department and NIL Collective at Georgia. His former school originally
- 34:30Speaker 23: took legal action to get three hundred and ninety thousand
- 34:33Speaker 23: dollars in owede NIL wages back from him, but the
- 34:35Speaker 23: collective alleges Wilson signed a deal to stay with the
- 34:39Speaker 23: Dogs before entering the transfer portal a month later, and
- 34:43Speaker 23: so seeking the unpaid amount on his deal. Wilson's attorney
- 34:47Speaker 23: said it was not a legally binding contract and that
- 34:50Speaker 23: Georgia has been engaging in a civil conspiracy to punish
- 34:55Speaker 23: Wilson for transferring.
- 34:57Speaker 9: Whatever happens, this could set a legal president.
- 34:59Speaker 23: Now a lot of schools have buttoned up their contracts
- 35:03Speaker 23: and the way they're handling the you know, the the
- 35:05Speaker 23: kids and the players and what they're getting and how
- 35:10Speaker 23: much and how long they have to stay and a
- 35:12Speaker 23: lot of I.
- 35:13Speaker 9: Think now the schools are putting in their contracts.
- 35:16Speaker 23: You know, used to be a letter of intent, but
- 35:19Speaker 23: now they're putting in their contract you got to stay
- 35:20Speaker 23: two years. You know, I don't care what happens with
- 35:22Speaker 23: the coach. You got to stay two years unless the
- 35:24Speaker 23: coach leaves, and then you have the you know, you
- 35:27Speaker 23: have the opportunity to do that. So well, it's gonna
- 35:30Speaker 23: be a heavy we we get into you know, several
- 35:34Speaker 23: bowl games now over the next few days.
- 35:36Speaker 9: Saturday is going to be a huge day.
- 35:38Speaker 23: I think there's seven bowl games, including the Virginia Missouri game,
- 35:42Speaker 23: which is Saturday night at seven thirty right in my backyard,
- 35:44Speaker 23: about one hundred and fifteen miles away.
- 35:47Speaker 9: I guess that's a pretty big backyard.
- 35:49Speaker 23: But Jacksonville will be the side of the Gator Bowl,
- 35:51Speaker 23: which you know should be fun of all the games,
- 35:54Speaker 23: but really some dynamite games before next week and we
- 35:57Speaker 23: get into the college football player, so it should be good.
- 36:01Speaker 23: Also over the next couple of days, Joe, we're gonna
- 36:03Speaker 23: be talking about the the live return or the live
- 36:07Speaker 23: departure of Brooks Kopka.
- 36:10Speaker 9: He's he's done.

- 36:14Speaker 23: time champion, marquee name for the Saudi back circus quote
- 36:18Speaker 23: the announcement game. We have amicably and mutually agreed that
- 36:22Speaker 23: Brooks Kepka will no longer compete in the Live Golf
- 36:25Speaker 23: League following the twenty five year that came from Scott
- 36:28Speaker 23: O'Neill's the CEO. Kapkus coming off when it was more
- 36:31Speaker 23: frustrating years he missed a cut in three of the
- 36:33Speaker 23: four majors and he finished thirty first and lives individual standings.
- 36:38Speaker 9: Wow good. I wouldn't even know who was the first
- 36:41Speaker 9: guy in the lip standing.
- 36:42Speaker 2: I have no idea who they had standings. I didn't
- 36:46Speaker 2: know they had.
- 36:47Speaker 9: Standings somewhere, yeah, somewhere. So anyway, but Kapka is going

- 37:07Speaker 23: a family. To say, Kepka is a mental midget. You know,
- 37:11Speaker 23: he can be so good and I know the game
- 37:13Speaker 23: could be frustrating and I know, you know, these guys

- 42:19Speaker 14: Or a mother.

- 43:56Speaker 2: It's on.
- 44:12Speaker 1: From the home of the First Amendment.
- 44:15Speaker 2: First thing today, this Christmas Eve, when we gather together
- 44:45Speaker 2: to go over all the things that they try to
- 44:47Speaker 2: sneak out while you're not looking. So about the you
- 44:52Speaker 2: know it's not just nine billion dollars in Somali fraud.
- 44:56Speaker 2: By the way, I don't want a new one. But
- 44:58Speaker 2: yesterday we were telling you, uh, the mayors of Minnesota
- 45:02Speaker 2: are rallying against Tim Walls and how close we came
- 45:07Speaker 2: to having Tim Walls as our vice president. Very frightening.
- 45:13Speaker 2: But the question is asked just catching the pop culture
- 45:18Speaker 2: version of it, which is the nine billion dollars that
- 45:20Speaker 2: the Somali group took from Tim Walts and ran. Does
- 45:26Speaker 2: this shine a light on the fact our education system
- 45:29Speaker 2: is so lacking when a third world country's refugees come
- 45:33Speaker 2: to our country and built us for that kind of money. No,
- 45:38Speaker 2: it actually speaks to how nit witted our politicians are
- 45:50Speaker 2: because they hang themselves on these islands. Let's just use
- 45:56Speaker 2: the word island, because nobody is using the word island
- 45:58Speaker 2: in any sort of selectionacious way these days, So they
- 46:02Speaker 2: get themselves out on these islands. I'm the compassionate candidate.
- 46:06Speaker 2: I'm the tough on crime candidate. I am the law
- 46:10Speaker 2: and order candidate. I'm the free speech candidate. Whatever it is,
- 46:15Speaker 2: Slolinski tells you, I think it's rule five or is
- 46:19Speaker 2: that no pooftas I forget whi joy, Oh, that's the
- 46:23Speaker 2: that's Maddy Python has you know rule five? Okay, But
- 46:26Speaker 2: one of Sololinsky's rules, nevertheless, is make them live up
- 46:33Speaker 2: to their own words. So if I if you say
- 46:38Speaker 2: I'm the the compassionate candidate, and I get elected as
- 46:43Speaker 2: congress person or governor of Minnesota on the compassion ticket,
- 46:48Speaker 2: and you get a bunch of people saying, a, we
- 46:51Speaker 2: can make that work for us. I mean, how many
- 46:52Speaker 2: emails you get from people saying that they're, you know,
- 46:55Speaker 2: descended from Somali king that has trillions of dollars in
- 47:00Speaker 2: a bank account that's been frozen. But if you send
- 47:03Speaker 2: them five or five hundred or one thousand dollars, you'll
- 47:07Speaker 2: help them unfreeze that money, as if somehow that would
- 47:12Speaker 2: even work. But that speaks volumes about our educational system
- 47:18Speaker 2: that we keep falling for that one. But it's more
- 47:25Speaker 2: than just nine billion dollars. The state of Minnesota has
- 47:30Speaker 2: burned through an eighteen billion dollar budget surplus to a
- 47:36Speaker 2: three billion dollar budget deficit. That's twenty one billion dollars
- 47:43Speaker 2: in the span of just a few years by being
- 47:48Speaker 2: out on Compassion Island. The mayors of Minnesota even identify
- 47:58Speaker 2: the fraud as the very reason. The first reason anyway,
- 48:03Speaker 2: mismanagement another one of those. But they write right this
- 48:15Speaker 2: laundry list of things, the abuses and usurpations of Tim
- 48:19Speaker 2: Waltz's administration to burn through twenty one billion dollars. I
- 48:27Speaker 2: guess safety would have been put him in the federal government,
- 48:31Speaker 2: where we'll just print more. They can't print more in Minnesota.
- 48:36Speaker 2: Holy moly. And these guys think that this is a
- 48:41Speaker 2: mandate to lead, and here's how they win. Go back
- 48:46Speaker 2: to the column I just published for the Daily Signal. Yes, Virginia,
- 48:50Speaker 2: you just elected Santa Claus. And I think it's appropriate
- 48:55Speaker 2: on Christmas because that's what the Democrats have run on.
- 49:04Speaker 2: This is what the twenty twenty five rebuke of Conservatives
- 49:08Speaker 2: and Trump was all about, was electing Santa Claus. They
- 49:19Speaker 2: ran on your poor, we're not we'll give you stuff
- 49:24Speaker 2: if you vote for us. And everyone just said, well,
- 49:27Speaker 2: I need stuff, so maybe I should vote from and
- 49:34Speaker 2: then I'll have stuff. You don't have time for it.
- 49:43Speaker 2: It's more than two minutes. I didn't think it was
- 49:45Speaker 2: that long of a read. But all right, you're looking
- 49:48Speaker 2: at the clock. So the other story that's in here.
- 49:56Speaker 2: Supreme Court hoping you weren't going to be paying attention
- 49:58Speaker 2: into Christmas, they refused to hear a case the president
- 50:05Speaker 2: wanted them to stop a lower court from keeping his
- 50:10Speaker 2: National Guard deployment out of Chicago. They based in the
- 50:15Speaker 2: President's theory is he can deploy National Guard troops to
- 50:21Speaker 2: suppress rebellion, repel invasion, or if he is unable with
- 50:25Speaker 2: regular forces, to execute the laws of the United States.
- 50:30Speaker 2: Illinois and Chicago had sued the administration's use of Illinois
- 50:35Speaker 2: National Guards troops and ordered others from Texas in calling
- 50:39Speaker 2: the actions unlawful, saying that they couldn't make the case
- 50:43Speaker 2: that their police were not able to execute the laws
- 50:47Speaker 2: of the United States. She said there was no evidence
- 50:55Speaker 2: the Judge Perry no evidence of rebellion or that the
- 50:59Speaker 2: law was not being enforced, faulting officials for equating protests
- 51:05Speaker 2: with riots, and lack of appreciation for a wide spectrum
- 51:09Speaker 2: that exists between citizens who are observing, questioning, and criticizing
- 51:13Speaker 2: their government and those who are obstructing, assaulting, or doing violence. Yes,
- 51:21Speaker 2: because the videos from Chicago of the news reporters standing
- 51:27Speaker 2: up the street from mostly peaceful protests that were a
- 51:30Speaker 2: burning all those storefronts that was see That must have
- 51:34Speaker 2: been what Justice Perry was talking about when she made
- 51:37Speaker 2: that ruling. She must have been thinking of the mostly
- 51:43Speaker 2: peaceful protests of twenty twenty and that nobody was questioning
- 51:53Speaker 2: the government what we were doing and what the Trump
- 51:56Speaker 2: administration was doing, and maybe they just had bad lawyers
- 52:00Speaker 2: at this It starts with who writes the first filing.
- 52:07Speaker 2: So whoever wrote the first filing put enough leeway in
- 52:11Speaker 2: it for the Supreme Court to duck out the back
- 52:16Speaker 2: door after a bunch of appellate proceedings dodged it. So
- 52:24Speaker 2: if you're wondering how that was possible, how the Supreme
- 52:26Speaker 2: Court could quote turn on Donald Trump, which is the headline,
- 52:32Speaker 2: it's not that they're turning on it's just that, according
- 52:36Speaker 2: to the way the filing was originally put, they didn't
- 52:39Speaker 2: live up to the standard of pointing to any of
- 52:43Speaker 2: those violations happening in the city of Chicago right now.
- 52:48Speaker 2: I gotta say, they don't look like they read the paper.
- 52:51Speaker 17: You know.
- 52:51Speaker 9: It's true. Difficult times have a way of focusing us.
- 52:55Speaker 27: We have to think about what matters most when it
- 52:57Speaker 27: comes to our spending our healthcare. This is why so
- 53:00Speaker 27: many people are joining meta share right now. Metas Share
- 53:04Speaker 27: is a trusted way to save up to fifty percent
- 53:06Speaker 27: on your monthly healthcare costs. More than four hundred thousand

- 53:13Speaker 27: especially now during this challenging season with health care costs
- 53:17Speaker 27: and out of pocket expenses. Going up Medashare can save
- 53:20Speaker 27: you a lot of money. The typical family saves five
