  Speaker 1: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the second most famous Thomas and Charlottesville.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Your word said, steal me stem. You have a day
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: at least for work. When the sun comes up, drops
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: a pet to school. Your joy has a gender. All
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: the treasures needs no one that Joe salis smile he
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: only as.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Joe.
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: Bless you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: this morning. Oh we are. We are loaded up for
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: you today. It's another target rich environment in which we
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: will tell you what went on obviously, and then we'll
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: tell you what we see in the evidence that makes
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: it back to the locker well, because not all of
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: it ever does right. And once once we've analyzed all that,
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: I want to find out how it's impacting you where
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: you are at four three, four eight eight two four
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: to two one seven. The countdown is on Christmas season
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: and there's some As America Fest wraps up in Arizona,
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: the Turning Point USA event. A couple of things JD
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Evan said, we only get into because slogans are well,
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: they are like high fruitose corn syrup. Sure they start
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: with something organic, but after playing with it enough times
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: and giving it to enough consultants and focus groups. Slogans
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: can really cause some health concerns, and so you've got
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: to be careful how you use them. And we're going
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: to get into that obviously hot person suit right now
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: our eye as much hot pursuit as there can be
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: over an oil tanker going on right now. And pardon me.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: I know several of you say, you know, when I
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: hear you slip sip your first free in the morning coffee,
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: it's distracting today, we pardon me. We spent the weekend
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: in a great place, you know, wonderful we visited. I
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: saw a bunch of people. But one of the nights
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: we were visiting New York, the room we were in
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: was locked in at about eighty five degrees on the
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: thermostat and we couldn't lower it, and apparently the whole
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: place had been like cleaned with bleaches and everything else.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: So I woke up I don't know if you heard
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: it on Saturday morning. I woke up on Saturday morning
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: with what felt like a ball of congealed wax inside
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: my sinuses, And after quite a bit of effort, we
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: got it to clear up enough so that we could
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: perform Saturday morning for you. And this is the you know,
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: clearing out process. It's you know, honey and tea. Charlie
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Kirk used to talk about honey and tea our friends
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: at First Free in the Morning coffee. All the people
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: who sell First Free in the Morning coffee also sell
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: a special tea called Charlie's Blend. And I should have
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: brought some home, you know. Yeah, I spend it where
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: I make it, so First Free in the Morning coffee
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: is in the cop But man, I could use a
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: cop of tea that was mint tea with honey in it.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: And I guess that's what Charlie used every day as
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: we went in to do the radio show. I generally
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: don't have that kind of crippling disability with my voice,
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: and I'm able to get her done, as it were.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: But this morning, it is no offense to you. It's
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: the most mucous in the morning, and we're just we're
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: trying to take shallow breaths. Is what we do. Is
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: if you've ever known anyone in broadcasting, one of the
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: secrets when you have signed this condition or that kind
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: of thing going on, you take shallow breaths frequent, more frequent,
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: like if you can make two sentences on one inhalation,
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: you probably want to cut that in half. So if
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: you ever have to do public speaking and your respiratory
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: track has taken a beating, that's Joe Thomas in the
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Morning's tip for yous. Frequent shorter breaths, and don't press me,
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: because when you get to the end of your breath,
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: that's when Bobby Brady comes out. If you're old enough
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: to know what I mean when I refer to Bobby Brady.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: So on our first things this morning. White House Envoy
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: Steve Witkoff took to X Sunday evening, saying he held
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: a weekend's worth of productive and constructive talks in Florida
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: with Ukrainian and European representatives to end the war between
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: Russia and Ukraine. He wrote, our shared priority is to
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: stop the killing, ensure guaranteed security, and create conditions for
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: Ukraine's recovery. The White House announced that President Trump is
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: scheduled to make a public announcement today at four point
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: thirty in the afternoon, alongside Secretary of War Pete Hegseeth
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: and Secretary of the Navy John Falen. According to the
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: official website, the event will take place at marri Lago.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: No additional details, but there is pursuit of one of
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: these ghost tankers from Venezuela going on as we speak.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: The US Department of Justice said it restored a photo
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: to the Jeffrey Epstein related documents that featured President Donald
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: Trump after it had been taken down. A media outrage
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: over it on Saturday and Sunday led to a post
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: from the Department of Justice saying that it had been
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: taken down quote out of an abundance of caution after
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: flagged it for additional review because it may have had
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: potential victims of Epstein's human trafficking. We mentioned turning point
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: USA's America Fest wrapping up with Nicki Minaj appearing giving
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: full support and utmost respects, she said to President Trump,
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: particularly for giving people hope in dark times and discussing
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: her work through the Christian prosecution persecution the persecution of
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: Christians in Nigeria. The Department of Homeland Security is disputing
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: reports that Acting Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director Madhu
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: Gatamkla failed a polygraph test after seeking access to highly
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: sensitive intelligence, and those are some of our first things
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: to discuss on this Monday morning before Christmas.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: You know, a lot of times you have to choose
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: between something high quality or something that saves you money.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: But what if you could get both?
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: Why not, especially when it comes to healthcare, and that
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: is meta share You get both. Many families save five
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: hundred bucks a month with Medashare and that's huge. But
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: it's also true that people wind up way more satisfied too,
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: and we know this from research of members. There's a
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: lot they like about Medicare, but especially they love being
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: part of something they believe in. And Metashare works too.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: It has for more than thirty years. There are hundreds
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: of thousands of members who love having telehealth if they
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: need it. They love the huge PPO network. You can
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: save a ton and like it better. Imagine being happy
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: with how you're taking care of your health care. So
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: if you're self employed, or you're part of the gig economy,
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: or you just want a plan you're happy with, you
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: can call right now and get a price in two minutes.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: Here's the number. Call eight five five share forty. That's
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: eight five five shre forty, eight five five share.
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: Considered by most. Optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

• 9:16
  Speaker 7: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls

  Speaker 8: Hi everybody, I'm Jack Hannah. It's always a boy growing
• 10:01
  Speaker 8: up on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 8: I'm not only in all of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 8: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:08
  Speaker 8: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 8: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
• 10:15
  Speaker 8: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
• 10:21
  Speaker 8: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 10:25
  Speaker 8: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29
  Speaker 8: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
• 10:41
  Speaker 8: a change.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: In their blood chemistry.
• 10:43
  Speaker 8: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
• 10:45
  Speaker 8: contribute to society and help those in need. So please
• 10:48
  Speaker 8: join me an American Humane and supporting our heroic working

• 11:10
  Speaker 10: art and brain.

• 13:12
  Speaker 1: The first thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Media Network.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: So I have a question, is there anywhere on the
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: planet that's less alike to Louisiana.
• 13:29
  Speaker 11: In New All.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: You're hanging with us on w g s O this morning.
• 13:37
  Speaker 11: We're not getting through work in the blue, We're not
• 13:40
  Speaker 11: getting back to Newall.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: So President Trump, I'm not and I'm not sure. I'm
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: certainly a cabinet posting is considered to be important and
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: a feather in your cap. But if if you're sending
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: Greg Landry from Louisiana to Greenland, and the last time
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: I checked, they don't have a team in the Southeastern
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: Conference that he can get the coach fired on. So
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: the news of the morning is Louisiana is going to
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: need a new governor, as Greg Landry appointed by President
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Trump to become his envoy to Greenland. You know, it's
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: just because I have these fanciful flights, and I apologize
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: to you if you think they're distracting. But when I
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: read this story, I said, how did that phone call go?
• 14:37
  Speaker 15: Hey?
• 14:37
  Speaker 16: Greg, it's don I got a job for you. It's
• 14:42
  Speaker 16: a great it's a great, the best job in the government.
• 14:45
  Speaker 16: It's none of none of them are better. Pam BONDI
• 14:48
  Speaker 16: wanted this job. I wouldn't give it to her. I
• 14:51
  Speaker 16: need you to take over Greenland.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: What I just there's a part of me that it's sure,
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: mister President, that would be uh great. You're not going
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: to say no to it. But if Jeff Landry had
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: a moment and was at all, you know, a member
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: of the human race, there has to be that moment
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: when somebody first floats this idea that you're going to
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: serve as US special envoy to Greenland. And you're sitting
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: there baton rouge, sipping on a you know, a Manhattan
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: or whatever it is you're imbibing mint julip I don't care,
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: picking at some crayfish, waiting for the boil to get done.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: And they say, hold, mister governor, the President's on the
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: phone and he wants you to go Whatland? Yeah, Greenland.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: So of course this is giving the press yet another
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: opportunity to run around and mischaracterize what the President wants
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: to do with Greenland, because they took, you know, glib
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: comments like maybe we should take it over. Seriously, the
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: President said, Jeff understands how essential Greenland is to our
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: national security and will strongly advance our country's interests for safety, security,
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: and survival of our allies and indeed the world. He
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: said chidingly that he wanted the US to take jurisdiction
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: over Greenland. Denmark, of course, bristled as much as Denmark
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: and Bristol. They put the water pipe down, dude, what
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: did he say, passed me a royale with cheese. So
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: the Danish put down the water pipe long enough to
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: have issue with this and you know, straighten it all out.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: I mean, the President's not invading Greenland, although there are
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: people in Greenland who were looking forward to the opportunity.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: I mean, that was the fun of it, was that
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: they were finding people in Greenland who are like, hell's
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: to the Yeah, I'm down with that. But if you
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: look at where Greenland is and the fact that we have,
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: along with China and Russia, by the way, major military
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: bases there kind of important. Jd Vance was dispatched there
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: and survived, survived long enough to say some slogans from
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: the stage at America And by the way, can I
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: just insert a random thought here about America Fest and
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: was like Eric got Kirk and Doris jd Vance And
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: I've told you in the past that I was the
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: reason Charlie Kirk got did least two of his radio affiliates.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: So I was listening to him as the president started
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: to vet out vice presidential candidates. And there could not
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: have been a person on the planet that was a
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: bigger advocate of JD Vance for anything, certainly for vice
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: president then Charlie Kirk. So everyone was like Eric got
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Kirk and Doris jd Van Of course she did. If
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: she didn't, that would have been a news story. Stop
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: trying to just make a news story because you have
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: to fill column spaces. But as anyways, so jd you know,
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: damaged his marriage. I guess if you read the gossip
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: columns with Usha when they went to Greenland. I don't know.
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: Everyone's got a different theory about what's going on there,
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: but but we have a space force base there and
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: they're not wrong that it's crucial for NATO and the
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: United States. Now, Landry, whose gubernatorial term ends in twenty
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: twenty eight, will have to have a special election, and
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: we all know how how much fun Louisiana elections can be. I,
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: you know, and for everyone who's like, oh, yeah, it's
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: it's an election in Louisiana. You expect the Well, why
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: don't we just reward the industrious. Why don't we say
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: to someone, you know what gives a given award the
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: person who voted in as many places as they could,
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: to the Luisa and that votes in the most precincts
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: that they can. I think there should be some sort
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: of acknowledgment that it all happens, and reward the industrious.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: Let's stop kidding ourselves, he says, with tongue in cheek.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: So that'll have to be a special election for Landry.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: The Embassy of Denmark in Washington did not respond to
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: requests for comment, according to CNN about Landry's appointment. I
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: mean it was four twenty, I'm sure when they asked.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: The Danish Defense Intelligence Service said in a report earlier
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: this month that the United States is using its economic
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: power to quote assert its will and threaten military force
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: against friend and foe alike. And I know that you're
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: probably sitting there this Monday morning getting wrapping paper or
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: trying to figure out if you can get a Christmas
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: gift at five below and not get tagged for it.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: But you're probably sitting there staring at your radio saying, wow,
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: Joe's they're live, and what's with his voice? And then
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: you stop and think, hold it. The Danes have an
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: intelligence service. You never saw them show up in a
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: Bond movie, did you? And I bet you though it
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: would have. It's probably some Broccoli family members said, what
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: if we get tall, blonde Danish spy. I'm sure they
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: all look much more like who is the uh the

• 23:19
  Speaker 15: AI supports veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI

  Speaker 15: to develop personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline

• 24:31
  Speaker 6: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and

  Speaker 4: Gallaine Maxwell. They're in unredacted security footage taken from the
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: FBI releases of the Epstein documents clearly show Donald Trump
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: walking along the beach behind the tower there as mister
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: Rourke comes out to welcome his guests of Fantasy Island
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: and now and understand that if this happened to the
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: Trump administration, this would be all you hear about the FBI.
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: Have you heard of them? Their National Police Department, established
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: by the Department of Justice after the Department of Justice
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: had been established, to do things that the Constitution didn't
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: lay it out to do. So, the FBI National Police
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: Department has apparently been warning people about Jeffrey Epstein for
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: ten years. The Justice Department records showed that the FBI
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: was warned in nineteen ninety six by Maria Farmer, an
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: artist who worked for Epstein, who filed the complaint on
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: September third of that year. Farmer alleged that Epstein stole
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: explicit photos of her underage sisters, sought images of young girls,
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: and threatened to burn her house down if she spoke out.
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: The complaint surfaced publicly for the first time last week
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: as part of the court ordered release under the epist
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: Epstein Files Transparency Act. OOPS. So let's do a little math.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: Who was president in nineteen ninety six, Whose Attorney General
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: was in charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: nineteen ninety six? I no, no, no, you didn't expect a quiz.
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: I get it. You're trying to figure out what kind
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: of stocking stuff or you sure you know what? Given
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: the energy costs, coal is probably not a bad thing
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: to put in your stockings this year. Just saying I
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: got another smartphone, nobody got coal. I need some coal
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: to run the furnace. The FBI document, which initially redacted
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: Farmer's name, confirms allegations but does not mention Gallaine Maxwell
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: or other Epstein associates. Farmer said she reserved note received
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: no meaningful response from the Bureau for nearly a decade
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: before Epstein ultimately faced federal scrutiny that led to his
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: two thousand and eight plea deal. In Florida under Florida
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: Attorney General pamp BONDI what it's true while you infer
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: what meaning you want from that. Brad Edwards, attorney for
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: many of the Epstein victims, called for a full investigation
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: into why the complaint was hidden. G Brad, I don't know.
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: I'm looking at a photograph of Bill Clinton in a
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: hot tub. I'm looking at a photograph here of Bill
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: Clinton at a dining room table with Jeff and Galaine.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: I don't know. Why do you think they were covered
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: up in nineteen ninety six?
• 31:58
  Speaker 20: You know?
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: And this is the simple stuff. This is the this
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: is the dumb stuff. This isn't the Hey, we have
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: pictures of you with this guy in this place where
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: this bad stuff went on. If you don't want it released,
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: or send to your wife and kids, here's how you're
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: going to vote on Insert key treaty vote, insert key
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: Supreme Court ruling, insert important national security briefing. This is
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: the this is the knuckleheaded stuff. And sure this is
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: pretty damning. I think this is more damning than the
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: actual pictures of Bill enjoying a little hot tub time
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: and Bill's own hot tub time machine moment, even guys
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: like Tim Kaine, who ran for president, by the way,
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: with Bill's wife, found himself, you know, on NBC over
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: the weekend being confronted about the Clinton photos and trying
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: to hammin to hamm and hamina his way back to
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: let's make it about Trump. Do we have the Kine clip? Yeah,
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: this is Tim kan on NBC Meet Depress on Sunday.
• 33:36
  Speaker 22: President Clinton has said and if they're un answered questions,
• 33:39
  Speaker 22: you know, he should address him, and.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: I suspect he will.
• 33:42
  Speaker 22: But let's just make sure that we meet the promise
• 33:45
  Speaker 22: that President Trump made as a candidate that all these files.
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: Will will be released. Okay, Tim, let's talk about the
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: ones that have been released so far. Unless unless you're
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: saying that these pictures in these files of FBI cover
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: ups of human trafficking under the Bill Clinton administration are
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: irrelevant or out of context. Seems interesting to say this
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: is out of context because I mean, the Crimes against
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: Children acts all across the country. Every state has ordinances,
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: and there are civil liberties lawyers that will start quoting
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: about you know, minor attracted adults, you know, the mas,
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: the other mas. There's make America affordable again. And then
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: there's minor attracted adults, and they'll go on and on
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: about how it's not there are countries in the world
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: and blah blah blah and all the stuff that allow
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: people to have scholarly discussions about pedophiles. And this is
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: a stark reminder that there are real children being really
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: trafficked to doing things that they should not be forced
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: to do by somebody. Now, I will still maintain that
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: just like the research into gain of function on certain
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: respiratory coronaviruses in China, the cover up isn't so much
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: that we know what was going on. I think we
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: all know what was going on. The cover up is
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: about who was paying for it. Where did Jeffrey Epstein's
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: seed money come from? Did it come from Glen Maxwell's dad?
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: He was deep into mi I five. What would their
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: intentions have been. Who were they trying to influence in
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: the American government. I don't see anything in any of
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: these documents that indicate the you know, Massad, and everyone
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: just wants to say Massad because that's the cool kids
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: thing to say that it must be Israel. It's Israel's fault.
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: Everything is Israel's fault. At some point people gone on planes,
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: even the Dalai Lama that one still puzzles me, got
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: onto airplanes and flew to places, and as soon as
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: they saw these activities, nobody, nobody came back and said, hey,
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: there's some bad juju going on here. So whether you
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: participated or not, whether you hung out with little girls
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: or not, it's regardless of what you may or may
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: not have done while you were there. You saw what
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: was going on there, and you came back and you
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: didn't say anything, and it was because you had been corrupted.
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: And what decisions did you make? That's the big question,
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: is what decisions did you make that were changed from
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: what you normally would have decided by that corruption, Because
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: that's the story, beyond the fact that this guy should
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: should have been guarded better so that he could get
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: the appropriate punishments if such things even can exist, for
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: the behaviors he did, and if there are governments involved
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: in propping him up, they deserve the punishment they deserve.
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: So let's shake our heads off and look at the realit.
• 38:01
  Speaker 19: According to a new report from Discovery Education, ninety two
• 38:04
  Speaker 19: percent of students say that engaging lessons make school more
• 38:07
  Speaker 19: fun and more than ninety percent of educators said engagement
• 38:11
  Speaker 19: is critical for student achievement. Student engagement is essential for learning,
• 38:15
  Speaker 19: but gaps remain about how to achieve, measure and sustain
• 38:18
  Speaker 19: student's interest in the classroom. Although sixty three percent of
• 38:22
  Speaker 19: students agreed that students are highly engaged in school, only
• 38:26
  Speaker 19: forty five percent of teachers and fifty one percent of
• 38:28
  Speaker 19: principles surveyed agreed with the same statement. Educators disagreed on
• 38:33
  Speaker 19: the top indicators of engagement. Seventy two percent of teachers
• 38:37
  Speaker 19: said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of student engagement,
• 38:41
  Speaker 19: while fifty four percent of superintendents rate performing well on
• 38:44
  Speaker 19: assessments as a top engagement indicator. Also, two thirds of
• 38:48
  Speaker 19: students said they believed that AI could help them learn faster,
• 38:52
  Speaker 19: yet fewer than half of teachers report using AI themselves

• 44:08
  Speaker 4: Is the sound.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: The first thing today on the Talk Media Network by
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: Joe Thomas. I love words.
• 44:16
  Speaker 24: I thank you for hearing my words. I want to
• 44:18
  Speaker 24: tell you something about words that I think is important.
• 44:21
  Speaker 24: I love, as I say, they are my work, there,
• 44:23
  Speaker 24: my play, they're my passion. Words are all we have. Really,
• 44:26
  Speaker 24: we have thoughts, but thoughts are fluid, you know, and
• 44:34
  Speaker 24: then we assign a word to a thought, and we're
• 44:38
  Speaker 24: stuck with that word for that thought.
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: So be careful with words, Yes, be careful with words.
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: And you've heard us talk about sloganeer ring on this
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: program before and the dangers of slogans and the hashtag.
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: We used to call it when I was a kid,
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: the chromium pulpit, because it was some declaration usually confined
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: to maximum two words, that could fit on an easily
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: read bumper sticker on the back of your car. And
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: I mean, there were some things praised Jesus, that kind
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: of thing alu akbar. If you want to take a
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: different tag that can be summed up in a statement
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: that makes it kind of clear as to what's going on.
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: But most things require more than a couple of words
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: with a hashtag in front of it. And so at
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: the end of America Fest and I bring this up
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: because I used to be because I was one of
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: his bosses, one of his radio affiliates. I know Charlie
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: Kirk from listening to him, men, meeting him, and interviewing
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: him many times that he saw great nuance and that
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: he saw great peril in just saying things like Christian nation,
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: and that one of the great perils that we had
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: after September eleventh, two thousand and one was going to
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: be defining ourselves. If that's a Muslim nation, then we
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: must be a Christian nation. Where a free nation established
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: under the idea of you have the right to follow
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: whatever faith you have as long as it does not
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: impede someone else, and that is the magic peace. As
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: long as your pursuit of your faith does not impact
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: someone else, God be with you and what we're being
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: herded into with the Bandai Beach shootings and more and
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: more questions about non citizens coming from Muslim nations twenty
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: five years old in good shape. What are you afraid
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: of there, sir? While we watch the Muslim nations, the
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: Muslim states, the isises of the world declare that Ahmed
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: al Ahmed, the man who interceded to save countless Jewish lives,
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: should be sought out and killed amongst the Caliphate because
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: he saved Jewish lives and don't play well, that's what
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: they believe. Yeah, okay, then you get arrested. You can't
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: arrest me for my faith. I can when it impacts
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: someone else. Let's say, for the sake of argument, i
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: am I'm a voodoo practitioner, and I kidnap somebody and
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: shrink their head. I've committed a felony. I can't defend
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: it under religious freedom if that was the case. Jeffrey
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: Epstein would have used that defense right off the bat.
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: My religion is pedophilia. What go look it up. You
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: don't have to go to the dark web to see
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: churches that. Yeah, soon as your faiths pursuit causes someone
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: else's pursuit of their life to come off the rails,
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: you have broken the law and you cannot hide behind
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: religious freedom. That being said, and that being a very
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: judaeo Christian ethic, we are a country based around the idea.
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: And this goes back to the most or perhaps the
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: second most controversial thing Thomas Jefferson wrote into the Declaration
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: of Independence after they scrubbed out the brilliant and eloquent
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: Treatise against Slavery. There was a debate as to whether
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: he had mistakenly written the word there in the preamble.
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: Adams and many others like, well, you know, you meant
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: the Creator. It was a commonly held translation of what
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: Locke believed, that you were endowed by the Creator with
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: unalienable rights. Jefferson, with intent, wrote the word there, putting
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: the onus on the citizen to be God fearing, not
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: government fearing. So when folks I get it, they're up
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: on stage and it's exciting, and it's Amfest and Nicki
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: Minaj's coming out and everyone's watching on Newsmax or whatever.
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: Mike Lindel's out there trying to get himself elected governor
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: of Minneapolis, and there's just a copny of stuff going on.
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: So it's easy for guys like jd Vance, who should
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: know better, to call us a Christian nation. And I know,
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: like I'm picking at knits, but words are important. Words
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: are often what our laws are written out of. You
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: didn't see it, but I winked at you, and I
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: said that often, often our laws are written with words,
• 50:19
  Speaker 4: and we need to be careful as to what we
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: do because sloganeering becomes very popular because it's easy to
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: kind of sum up everything in a short sentence. Give
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: me two words that defines you. Can you do that?
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: Can you give Can you call me right now at
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: four three four eight eight two four two one seven
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: and sum up the entirety of your existence? We will.
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: We will put aside the word Jesus, the two words
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: Jesus saves for a moment because I can hear the
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: phone's ringing now, because that's a good thing to define
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: yourself with. There are other people who define themselves with
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: al hu akbar, and they don't have that same feeling
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: about impacting how other people go about their day. They
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: find that their day is going to be ruined if
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: they don't stop other people from celebrating their faith. And
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: I don't need to know why you don't. It's just
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: like trying to explain Jeffrey Epstein. I don't need to
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: know why. I don't need to know why the Grinch
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: tried to steal Christmas. I don't need to know why
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: Darth Vader was the bad guy. Storytelling requires that you
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: have good and bad, and you look at bad and say,
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: don't do that. How do you do that by saying, look,
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: that's bad and we've lost this in our pul correct
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: everybody gets a trophy bovine excrement. As we finish up here,
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: Bob in Portland send us a graphic Welcome to Christmas week.
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: He writes, thank you for tuning in out there. KUFO.
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: Feed your faith and your fears will starve to death.
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: That's beautiful because that's what consumes so many of us.
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: That's probably what consumed so many people to keep from
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: coming out about Jeffrey Epstein and what was going on
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: on fantasy Island because they were afraid. They have a
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: precious and they don't want to lose their precious. Guess
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: what after you lose your precious, you realize the sun
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: comes up in the sky in the same place. The
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: next morning, dust yourself off and get a helmet.
