- 1:51Speaker 6: which makes you know it important that we keep an
- 1:54Speaker 6: open mind and an open ear for each other because
- 2:01Speaker 6: of the trouble with this. You know, a holiday season
- 2:03Speaker 6: is everything becomes super focused on that and we forget
- 2:06Speaker 6: sometimes that people don't know the whole holiday situation there.
- 2:12Speaker 6: I want to get back into the war versus terror
- 2:14Speaker 6: thing that we were doing before the top of the hour.
- 2:17Speaker 6: But you know, we had an amazing week. Our friends
- 2:19Speaker 6: at jcsgold dot com, jcsgold dot com, the people I say,
- 2:24Speaker 6: you know you should talk to about gold and silver investing.
- 2:27Speaker 6: We watched silver fly past seventy dollars an ounce, so
- 2:31Speaker 6: I figured we'd have a chance to sit here and say, oh,

- 2:37Speaker 6: you don't know what, We're not stopping for seventy We're

- 2:53Speaker 7: thirty dollars range, and here we are over one hundred percent.
- 2:57Speaker 7: Uh you know, increase in value here with been one
- 3:00Speaker 7: year for silver. This is what clients have been dreaming
- 3:04Speaker 7: about for decades, honestly, so it's really crazy to see
- 3:08Speaker 7: silver move this way. It really just goes to show,
- 3:11Speaker 7: you know, how silver is used industrially. It's used in
- 3:14Speaker 7: data centers and microchips and solar panels and electric cars,
- 3:20Speaker 7: and it's used up in all this technological growth.
- 3:23Speaker 6: And that's the key of it is it's not just
- 3:26Speaker 6: a precious metal, it's a durable good as well. Find
- 3:29Speaker 6: out about gold or silver investing currently hitting gold is

- 4:14Speaker 6: to all, including the radical left scum that is doing
- 4:17Speaker 6: everything possible to destroy our country, but our failing badly.
- 4:22Speaker 6: The Americans were pulled by the Daily Mail newspaper to
- 4:26Speaker 6: see which of the White House decor they preferred, and
- 4:30Speaker 6: by a two to one margin, it was Milania Trump's
- 4:33Speaker 6: White House decor over Jill Biden or Michelle Obama. A
- 4:38Speaker 6: man in Arkansas or a person in Arkansas has a
- 4:42Speaker 6: ticket that has earned them eight hundred and thirty four
- 4:45Speaker 6: point nine million dollars winning the one point eight one
- 4:49Speaker 6: seven billion dollar jackpot. Do the math. The winning numbers,
- 4:56Speaker 6: in case you're checking it were four, twenty five, thirty one,
- 5:00Speaker 6: fifty two, fifty nine and the red powerball was nineteen.
- 5:06Speaker 6: Justice Samuel Alito penned the descending opinion in the Supreme
- 5:11Speaker 6: Court's Descent Tuesday, or he was the descent on Tuesday's
- 5:17Speaker 6: ruling that block President Trump from deploying the National Guard
- 5:21Speaker 6: to Chicago. Whatever one may think about the current administration's
- 5:27Speaker 6: enforcement of the immigration laws or the way ICE has
- 5:30Speaker 6: conducted its operations. The protection of federal officers from potential
- 5:35Speaker 6: lethal attacks should not be thwarted. Two people were injured
- 5:40Speaker 6: in an attack on ICE officers when a van in
- 5:44Speaker 6: Maryland was stopped on Christmas Eve and started driving towards
- 5:48Speaker 6: the officers. Police alleged the driver attempted to run the
- 5:51Speaker 6: agents over, prompting the agents to open fire on the vehicle,
- 5:55Speaker 6: which drove off the road. Justice Department is asking for
- 5:59Speaker 6: a few more weeks to release the remainder of its
- 6:02Speaker 6: Jeffrey Epstein records, saying that they've discovered more than a
- 6:05Speaker 6: million potentially relevant documents, further delaying compliance in Toto with
- 6:12Speaker 6: the congressional insistence that they release it. Eleven Democrats and
- 6:17Speaker 6: a Republican told Acting Inspector Don Berthom in a letter
- 6:22Speaker 6: that victims quote deserve full disclosure and peace of mind
- 6:27Speaker 6: in an independent audit of these files. A man accused
- 6:32Speaker 6: of the man accused of shooting two National Guard soldiers

- 8:04Speaker 9: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 8:13Speaker 9: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 9: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:32Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:37Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46Speaker 9: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51Speaker 9: healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

- 10:01Speaker 11: on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 11: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,

- 10:18Speaker 11: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21Speaker 11: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 10:23Speaker 11: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 10:26Speaker 11: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 10:29Speaker 11: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 10:32Speaker 11: perform life saving work every day.

- 10:42Speaker 1: In their blood chemistry.
- 10:43Speaker 11: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
- 10:45Speaker 11: contribute to society and help those in need. So please

- 13:45Speaker 6: oh man, I gotta get to five below. Stuff is stocking.
- 13:50Speaker 6: Just remember the stocking stuffers are different than the turkey stuffers.
- 13:55Speaker 6: Don't make that mistake. It's the Voice of Spirits. But
- 14:04Speaker 6: one of our favorite segments every month is to take
- 14:08Speaker 6: a look into what's going on in the world of
- 14:10Speaker 6: cancer treatment, cancer management, UVA Health. And you know, it's
- 14:16Speaker 6: a story that's still to this day. Twenty years ago
- 14:19Speaker 6: I met a fella came to the Charlottesville area and
- 14:22Speaker 6: there was a legend in the area. Some would say,
- 14:24Speaker 6: I have you know, been around long enough to be
- 14:27Speaker 6: considered in the same breath, But I don't think so.
- 14:29Speaker 5: For the impert now, I want them to lose so
- 14:32Speaker 5: they can get a better draft.
- 14:33Speaker 3: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Tunk Media Network,
- 14:38Speaker 3: all natural and free of artificial intelligence.
- 14:57Speaker 2: Just be.
- 15:00Speaker 6: With this war raging. And I received this even now.
- 15:03Speaker 6: We were talking earlier, just before we went to the
- 15:06Speaker 6: top of the hour news about the difference between jihad,
- 15:12Speaker 6: between terror and war, and that war. You know what's
- 15:24Speaker 6: the joke? You know, there isn't anything civil about war.
- 15:27Speaker 6: Cibil doesn't mean oh well, please you go first, Sybil
- 15:32Speaker 6: means involving civilians. And you know how I'm a bear.
- 15:38Speaker 6: And if you don't experience the program a lot, and
- 15:41Speaker 6: bless our friends and Altoona and on Long Island hearing
- 15:45Speaker 6: the program, I know of our Long Island friends get
- 15:47Speaker 6: a taste of this every Saturday morning. And it's not
- 15:52Speaker 6: the first Christmas I've been on the air at one
- 15:54Speaker 6: O three point nine FM on Long Island. I'm telling
- 15:57Speaker 6: you that right now to justify playing a Mariah Carey
- 16:02Speaker 6: song for you again. The the way we play with words,
- 16:13Speaker 6: and we're glib with words. Civil war means it's involving civilians.
- 16:22Speaker 6: It's broached that boundary where two armies would battle for
- 16:27Speaker 6: control over a region in a predefined place in that region,
- 16:34Speaker 6: and then once the victor was clearly decided, the vanquished
- 16:38Speaker 6: would be off with them or they would surrender and
- 16:42Speaker 6: join with the victors. And you know, our war for
- 16:53Speaker 6: independence was a battle to expel an invading army. And
- 17:00Speaker 6: we have to define things better, we really do. Because
- 17:03Speaker 6: people make moral equivalencies. They're like, well, you know the Americans,
- 17:11Speaker 6: they did some pretty terroristic things to the British. Yeah,
- 17:15Speaker 6: and you know what ho Chi Minh did the same
- 17:18Speaker 6: crap to US in Southeast Asia because he came to
- 17:23Speaker 6: the US, went to our war colleges, learned George Washington's
- 17:27Speaker 6: tactics and the tactics of the of his generals green
- 17:34Speaker 6: and said, hmm, that might work. And to be truthfully told,
- 17:40Speaker 6: Ho Chi Minh wanted to use it against the French.
- 17:43Speaker 6: The French just abandoned ship before they got a turn
- 17:46Speaker 6: to so we were left holding the bag in Vietnam.
- 17:54Speaker 6: But is blowing up a couple of cops walking a
- 17:59Speaker 6: beat in Moscow part of a grander battle between Russia
- 18:07Speaker 6: and Ukraine? Or is this a psyop to regin up
- 18:15Speaker 6: Russian civilian support for a war that has dragged on. Ah,
- 18:24Speaker 6: let's see, let's do the math. We're on four years.
- 18:27Speaker 6: That's twelve twelve hundred days. Wasn't supposed to take two weeks,
- 18:32Speaker 6: so a lot longer than Russians were told it was
- 18:36Speaker 6: going to take. Why Because like the English, like the
- 18:47Speaker 6: Red Coats were, they are the occupying force in someone
- 18:50Speaker 6: else's country and there's very little that will change somebody's
- 18:56Speaker 6: mood about fighting you then you trying to move into
- 19:01Speaker 6: their house. So the the use of this kind of
- 19:15Speaker 6: tactic in this battle with Russia. I'm not sure is
- 19:22Speaker 6: necessarily I know it's very quickly a point. Oh it's Ukraine. Ukraine.
- 19:27Speaker 6: Ukraine intelligence officers one story out of Moscow had it
- 19:37Speaker 6: blaming NATO on it that that US and NATO intelligence
- 19:43Speaker 6: officers planted the bomb. I guess that's one of the
- 19:47Speaker 6: accusations now on behalf of the Ukrainian You know, like
- 19:54Speaker 6: exactly why what does Ukraine gain from pissing off the
- 19:58Speaker 6: Russians any more than they already have more drone attacks?
- 20:03Speaker 6: Oh good, we were feeling like we were getting forgotten
- 20:08Speaker 6: down here. So you have to be careful on the
- 20:13Speaker 6: outside of this. And I've said this since the first
- 20:18Speaker 6: shots were fired in this A you don't get to
- 20:23Speaker 6: invade somebody else's country. B if you don't believe somebody
- 20:27Speaker 6: else's country deserves to be a country, there are courses
- 20:31Speaker 6: of action. C should NATO have continued to treat the
- 20:39Speaker 6: Russian state like the Soviet Union after it fell. It's
- 20:46Speaker 6: Nigel Farage and the folks who did Brexit and are
- 20:50Speaker 6: quickly quickly winning a majority in the British Parliament. By
- 20:55Speaker 6: the way, in case you were wondering Nigel Faraj has
- 21:02Speaker 6: said time and time again the NATO nations should have
- 21:06Speaker 6: reached out to Russia long before there even was an
- 21:11Speaker 6: independent Ukraine and said what can we do to help?
- 21:19Speaker 6: But instead we were so used to having them as
- 21:22Speaker 6: an enemy that we couldn't figure out a world where
- 21:27Speaker 6: we weren't fighting the Russian bear. And so there's so
- 21:32Speaker 6: many moving parts in this, but the bottom line is,
- 21:34Speaker 6: and since the earliest days of this battle, the Russian
- 21:38Speaker 6: the Ukrainian farmers defending their land with rifles that they owned.
- 21:44Speaker 6: If that doesn't tell you why we have a second Amendment,
- 21:46Speaker 6: I don't know what can now. Voladimir Zelenski wants to
- 21:51Speaker 6: confiscate those when they win. So I hope he finds
- 21:54Speaker 6: himself with a cold dead hands moment, not his hands
- 21:57Speaker 6: being dead, but go ahead, tried to take them.
- 22:03Speaker 9: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
- 22:07Speaker 9: actually three known gas is I I'm doctor Mitch, and
- 22:12Speaker 9: nitric oxide is a gas that's readily made all day
- 22:16Speaker 9: long to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood
- 22:21Speaker 9: vessel walls. By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood,
- 22:26Speaker 9: oxygen and nutrients to every part of your body. Both
- 22:31Speaker 9: age and poor diet can lead to a loss of
- 22:34Speaker 9: this precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,

- 24:04Speaker 9: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 24:07Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 24:13Speaker 9: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26Speaker 9: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:32Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:37Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:42Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 24:46Speaker 9: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 24:51Speaker 9: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

- 28:48Speaker 6: This isn't the best of This wasn't recorded two weeks ago.
- 28:52Speaker 6: This isn't some Christmas spectacular. This is as it's happening now.
- 28:57Speaker 6: And one of the reasons if you're, you know, just
- 29:01Speaker 6: experiencing the program for the first time, one of the
- 29:04Speaker 6: reasons we don't do this. And I have some fun
- 29:06Speaker 6: with the fact that my family, Yeah, aside from my
- 29:09Speaker 6: youngest son, we're not early risers. My wife, no not,
- 29:15Speaker 6: We're like Jack Spratt and his wife, only instead of
- 29:18Speaker 6: fat it's sleep. She goes to bed about the same
- 29:22Speaker 6: time I get up. I mean, she's the night owl,
- 29:24Speaker 6: she's the one going through everything and trying to make
- 29:27Speaker 6: sure everything is settled in before the day ends. Me
- 29:33Speaker 6: I want to get up before everyone else did because
- 29:35Speaker 6: I want to. I want to. I want first DIBs
- 29:37Speaker 6: on the coffee mugs. But more over than that, if this,
- 29:46Speaker 6: if you're tuning into this program, there is an expectation.
- 29:49Speaker 6: And I'm going to circle this back to Donald Trump
- 29:52Speaker 6: and Brendan Carr or as I'm referring to them this morning,
- 29:56Speaker 6: Santa Claus and Crampas.
- 30:00Speaker 3: Television.
- 30:01Speaker 1: There is a license. I'll give you an example.
- 30:04Speaker 2: I read some places that the networks were ninety seven
- 30:07Speaker 2: percent against me. I get ninety seven percent negative, and
- 30:11Speaker 2: yet I won easily won all seven spake stains popular
- 30:14Speaker 2: with won everything. And if they're ninety seven percent against,
- 30:20Speaker 2: they give you holy bed listening to oppress. I mean
- 30:25Speaker 2: they're getting a license. I would think maybe their license
- 30:29Speaker 2: should be taken away.
- 30:30Speaker 15: I don't.
- 30:31Speaker 6: They're not getting a license, mister President. And with all
- 30:34Speaker 6: due respect, we don't get a license. We have to
- 30:39Speaker 6: apply for and then be approved for it. But understand
- 30:43Speaker 6: and license is a sloppy word. And here's how it
- 30:47Speaker 6: relates to why I am here live this morning and why.
- 30:50Speaker 6: You know, there were days that I would take off
- 30:54Speaker 6: when we were doing music radio and things like that.
- 31:00Speaker 6: You tune into this station to hear about the news
- 31:04Speaker 6: of the day. You tune into this station to hear
- 31:08Speaker 6: about what the heck is going on. Now a full disclosure,
- 31:14Speaker 6: my flagship station is not carrying this program right now.
- 31:18Speaker 6: It might carry it later on today because we have
- 31:22Speaker 6: to carry a minor league football game between the Cowboys
- 31:27Speaker 6: and the Commanders, Oh contracts. But our flagship station is
- 31:33Speaker 6: in the middle of a promotional event called the thirty
- 31:35Speaker 6: six Hours of Christmas. We've got the Mormon Tabernacle Choir,
- 31:38Speaker 6: We've got my new partner here at the Talk Media Network,
- 31:44Speaker 6: Todd Starns. It's an amazing even and Todd's been doing
- 31:48Speaker 6: this since back when he was with Fox News. And
- 31:50Speaker 6: remember remember Todd's Christmas specials when he was on Fox News.
- 31:55Speaker 6: And if you don't know Todd Starns is and you're
- 31:57Speaker 6: you're younger, Todd Starns was Brian Killmead before Brian kill
- 32:02Speaker 6: Mead was. He was the guy who was the regular guy.
- 32:06Speaker 6: He was the non journey you know, he was the
- 32:11Speaker 6: agent provocateur. He was the guy out there the Man
- 32:15Speaker 6: on the Street guy, and every year he would do
- 32:18Speaker 6: this amazing TV special Christmas. I grew up an eerr,
- 32:23Speaker 6: everybody had a TV special. It was getting a little
- 32:25Speaker 6: pass as the Sunny and Share Christmas Special Live from Pasadena,
- 32:37Speaker 6: so even you know. But they're in between these programming segments,
- 32:45Speaker 6: some history programs about Christmas and Charlie Brown and the
- 32:49Speaker 6: Christmas Tree and stuff like that. A great friend of
- 32:51Speaker 6: mine that is putting together as well, that's on my
- 32:56Speaker 6: flagship station right now. Between it are news and weather
- 33:02Speaker 6: and the things that somebody in our flagship city needs
- 33:06Speaker 6: to know as they get up to go out this morning.
- 33:09Speaker 6: So we are serving our purpose. And this is why
- 33:12Speaker 6: it relates to what President Trump is saying. Now TV
- 33:15Speaker 6: is a little bit different, But what purpose are you serving?
- 33:18Speaker 6: And he's going at this the wrong way. See these
- 33:21Speaker 6: O and O contracts, these network O and O contracts
- 33:24Speaker 6: where the network owns I think what a CBS say
- 33:28Speaker 6: they owned thirty six TV stations thirty six markets. That
- 33:33Speaker 6: doesn't sound like a lot. I mean, I watch iHeartMedia
- 33:37Speaker 6: owns stations in like one hundred and fifty markets. Never
- 33:41Speaker 6: mind the billboards and the airport billboards and all the
- 33:45Speaker 6: other things they own. What is too much is what
- 33:49Speaker 6: is local versus independent. Mean, there are local stations with
- 33:58Speaker 6: local hosts who who are trying to comply with corporate
- 34:02Speaker 6: rules as to what they can broadcast. And local is
- 34:09Speaker 6: an important thing because where you are, I mean, it's
- 34:12Speaker 6: your southern California. You're flooding and there's mud slides, and
- 34:16Speaker 6: then the Santa Anas are coming back. I mean, it's
- 34:19Speaker 6: Mother Nature has opened an who unholy bag of whoop
- 34:23Speaker 6: ass on southern California. The mid Atlantic, after freezing in
- 34:32Speaker 6: single digits, is now in like close to seventy and
- 34:39Speaker 6: so it's more rain than it is snow at Christmas
- 34:42Speaker 6: right now, wherever you might be. But there are things
- 34:44Speaker 6: you need to know, and that's the importance of each
- 34:47Speaker 6: individual broadcaster. And we get our permit, and this is
- 34:55Speaker 6: where we get sloppy with language. And you know how
- 34:57Speaker 6: pedantic I can be. Their FCC permits not FCC licenses.
- 35:08Speaker 6: Licenses saying we allow you to broadcast. Permit says we
- 35:13Speaker 6: have given you a permit to use this space. It's
- 35:16Speaker 6: more like a deed because the point of the FCC
- 35:22Speaker 6: license was to protect your spectrum that's the technical phrase
- 35:27Speaker 6: for the space in the air that your TV transmission
- 35:32Speaker 6: goes out over or your radio broadcast goes out over.
- 35:35Speaker 6: So if you're listening to us on WGCH and Greenwich
- 35:40Speaker 6: fourteen ninety am, nobody in and around the Greenwich area
- 35:44Speaker 6: can sign a transmitter on at fourteen ninety am and
- 35:49Speaker 6: squash wgh's signal or one oh three point nine in Riverhead,
- 35:56Speaker 6: Long Island, where Long Island News Radio is hell, I
- 36:01Speaker 6: even know where your transmitter is. I've been to the
- 36:03Speaker 6: old drive in movie theater where your transmitter is. That
- 36:11Speaker 6: frequency is what's protected because that's your property. You have
- 36:16Speaker 6: purchased this property much in the same way I've purchased
- 36:19Speaker 6: the home that I live in in Virginia, and I
- 36:23Speaker 6: have a deed that the government says. You've filed this
- 36:27Speaker 6: deed with us, we've notarized it. And if anyone else
- 36:32Speaker 6: tries to claim that this is their home or use
- 36:35Speaker 6: it or your storefront isn't even a better example. So
- 36:39Speaker 6: you buy a storefront or you lease a storefront, you
- 36:42Speaker 6: have documents that say you've leased this storefront. Then, and
- 36:51Speaker 6: this is how they managed to close everyone's business down
- 36:54Speaker 6: during COVID because they think because they gave us the license,
- 36:58Speaker 6: because they've agreed to protect our rights to do business,
- 37:02Speaker 6: then they can take away those rights. And they have to,
- 37:05Speaker 6: whether it be Brendan Carr or whoever the next president's
- 37:09Speaker 6: FCC chief is, they have to be put in their
- 37:12Speaker 6: place about it. And it's about serving your customers. This
- 37:16Speaker 6: is why we're live this morning, so that I can
- 37:19Speaker 6: serve you the news that you need. That these stations
- 37:22Speaker 6: that are carrying us say, hey, we'd like somebody to
- 37:24Speaker 6: break down this news. And if Brendan Carr is going
- 37:28Speaker 6: after the TV networks and they what he's really doing
- 37:32Speaker 6: is he's using the TV networks as a threat to
- 37:35Speaker 6: go after podcasters and the Internet. Now, if he wants
- 37:39Speaker 6: to fix the Internet and social media, get the three
- 37:42Speaker 6: O two provisions taken down and let us all compete
- 37:47Speaker 6: fairly in the world of truth versus phony BOLONEI plastic banana,
- 37:53Speaker 6: good time, Charlie crap. Then we can talk about competing.
- 37:59Speaker 6: But don't you don't license.
- 38:01Speaker 17: At Hotshot Secret, we share the science behind common diesel
- 38:04Speaker 17: problems in their solutions.
- 38:06Speaker 3: For example, diesel fuel stan levels.
- 38:08Speaker 17: In many states, the setane rating and diesel fuel is
- 38:11Speaker 17: forty two to forty five. Most diesel engines operate more
- 38:14Speaker 17: efficiently with the cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one.
- 38:17Speaker 17: Treatment of hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your
- 38:20Speaker 17: seatane seven points, increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts.
- 38:24Speaker 17: Due to a cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons in
- 38:27Speaker 17: particulate matter in your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of
- 38:30Speaker 17: your diesel particulate filter. Using Diesel Extreme generates eighty three
- 38:34Speaker 17: percent less DPF regenerations. The six and one Diesel Extreme
- 38:39Speaker 17: formula also includes the most concentrated detergent on the market,

- 44:38Speaker 6: So there's a question the birthday boy, as we gather
- 44:43Speaker 6: on this Christmas morning, what was his military record? Obviously
- 44:58Speaker 6: so many people do war in his name. That's not fair,
- 45:06Speaker 6: is it? Because people will go to battle to defend
- 45:12Speaker 6: his honor. The Crusades were about liberating Jerusalem. Jerusalem, the
- 45:21Speaker 6: city that claims to be the home of all three
- 45:25Speaker 6: major religions on the planet, aside from the fourth Buddhism,
- 45:31Speaker 6: all came from the same city. Really, it's a head
- 45:34Speaker 6: of a city. And here's where I'm going to tie
- 45:37Speaker 6: the war thing in. So this proposal that Witkoff and
- 45:44Speaker 6: Rubio at al have proposed for the don Bass region
- 45:50Speaker 6: to demilitarized trade zone that would be open to all.
- 45:59Speaker 6: And it sounds great, and we have seen in the
- 46:02Speaker 6: moments that we were allowed to watch before the twenty
- 46:07Speaker 6: twenty election was yeah, and well that's a hot mess too.
- 46:12Speaker 6: Now Rafsenberger is out there saying, oh, no, no, the
- 46:17Speaker 6: ballots were signed. It was the tapes that weren't signed
- 46:21Speaker 6: at you know. And then so it's just election officials
- 46:24Speaker 6: in a hectic time forgetting to sign off that they
- 46:28Speaker 6: had checked the tapes that they were accurate. Oh okay,
- 46:33Speaker 6: because that made it better. Again, it goes back under
- 46:37Speaker 6: the folder of insufficient to change the election results. Hmm okay.
- 46:46Speaker 6: So you say that's your story and you're sticking to it.
- 46:51Speaker 6: It took Rafsenberger what a week and a half to
- 46:53Speaker 6: come up with that. How many lawyers did he have
- 46:56Speaker 6: to run that by before they said yeah, yeah, I
- 46:59Speaker 6: think I think we're protected on that one. You can
- 47:01Speaker 6: say that. But when the Abraham Accords first went into
- 47:12Speaker 6: a fact, I mean, this was stunning because it isolated Iran,
- 47:16Speaker 6: who was trying to create jihad in between Arab nations
- 47:20Speaker 6: in Israel, and so I think that there's a gravitas
- 47:26Speaker 6: there for this Abraham to electric boogaloo that we're working
- 47:35Speaker 6: off of in this ceasefire air quotes in between Israel
- 47:42Speaker 6: and Hamas, while Israel kind of goes after Syria more again,
- 47:48Speaker 6: promoters sponsors. But watch this and this might actually come
- 47:57Speaker 6: to pass faster than anything else. Is Is this the
- 48:02Speaker 6: Trump manifesto? Is the Trump manifesto creating little free zones,
- 48:15Speaker 6: little Americas, if you will, governed by a constitution ish
- 48:22Speaker 6: document that dictates what is and isn't allowed. Worry devil's
- 48:28Speaker 6: in the details. But these economic free zones that the
- 48:36Speaker 6: president has suggested. He also suggested one over the disputed
- 48:41Speaker 6: areas of Israel and Gaza, mostly Gaza. But what if
- 48:50Speaker 6: Witcoff and Rubio came back to Bibi net Yahun and said,
- 48:55Speaker 6: we'd like to establish one of these zones for Jerusalem,
- 49:02Speaker 6: maybe in the third year or fourth year of the presidency,
- 49:08Speaker 6: provided the Democrats don't earn enough of a majority or
- 49:11Speaker 6: even close to a plurality to start impeachment proceedings, because
- 49:15Speaker 6: now they're talking about having enough votes in the House
- 49:18Speaker 6: right now to start impeaching the president, that they've finally
- 49:24Speaker 6: won over enough Republicans that they could they could call
- 49:28Speaker 6: for an impeachment hearing, even with a Republican majority. I
- 49:36Speaker 6: remind myself of time I was told by a political insider,
- 49:42Speaker 6: why do they do it JT? Because it works. You
- 49:46Speaker 6: say something horrible about somebody enough times, eventually people are like,
- 49:49Speaker 6: you know what, I'm not. I don't have time to
- 49:52Speaker 6: investigate whether it's all true or not. The guy's just
- 49:55Speaker 6: a pain on my ass. Let's get them out of
- 49:56Speaker 6: here so they don't have to beat him on ideas
- 50:04Speaker 6: or philosophies or even outcomes. Did you see the unemployment
- 50:09Speaker 6: numbers came way down? Yes? Yeah, yesterday's release of the
- 50:14Speaker 6: unemployment numbers plummeted. If you can get the cost of
- 50:23Speaker 6: fertilizer under control, we'd get the cost of groceries under control.
- 50:28Speaker 6: And then they have nothing left except pretending that the
- 50:32Speaker 6: economy is still bad. But if he makes it through
- 50:40Speaker 6: the midterms and gets to a third or beginning of
- 50:44Speaker 6: a fourth year, and if this don Bass region is working,
- 50:48Speaker 6: and if Gaza is working, mark my words, they're gonna
- 50:52Speaker 6: look at as at Jerusalem because it's such a disputed
- 50:57Speaker 6: city for that conversation. But with that in mind, on
- 51:13Speaker 6: this birthday of Jesus, think about how many armies he
- 51:19Speaker 6: beat and never once picked up a rifle. They didn't
- 51:25Speaker 6: exist at the time. Knocked over a few tables one
- 51:32Speaker 6: day because he got smacked in the face by how
- 51:36Speaker 6: corrupt the temple had become. Didn't want to create a
- 51:42Speaker 6: new church. Wanted to save the old one, kind of
- 51:47Speaker 6: like those radical conservative talk show hosts. They don't want
- 51:51Speaker 6: a new country, they want to save the old one. Right,
- 52:01Speaker 6: you can do it, and we all can do it
- 52:05Speaker 6: by not giving into the authoritarians, by not letting them win,
- 52:12Speaker 6: because when they win, it's by our complacency. It's by
- 52:19Speaker 6: us shrugging and saying, I don't have any fight left
- 52:22Speaker 6: in me. And that's the great tragedy in America and
- 52:27Speaker 6: something we need to steal ourselves. So celebrate the birth
- 52:31Speaker 6: of the man that beat armies without ever picking up
- 52:34Speaker 6: a weapon and never got at dinner. Actually he did.
- 52:38Speaker 6: I don't see any food, but he got a dinner.
- 52:42Speaker 6: Merry Christmas to all till tomorrow morning, So long, thanks
- 52:47Speaker 6: for all the fish.
- 52:51Speaker 12: Crime across the country is at an all time high.
- 52:54Speaker 12: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
- 52:56Speaker 12: a risk. We don't want the feeling of being unprotected
- 52:59Speaker 12: and vulnerable. We found GETCCL dot com. Get CCL dot
