- 1:22than trying to end the shutdown. So why would you
- 1:26want to do that? What's the sign about consultants? Why
- 1:30solve the problem when there's good money to be made
- 1:34extending it. Los Angeles County leaders have declared a state
- 1:38of emergency so they can bring about resources to the
- 1:41non citizen community. Their statement on it declaring a local
- 1:46emergency ensures that are the full weight of our county
- 1:49government is aligned to support our quote unquote immigrant communicaties
- 1:55that are being targeted by federal actions, taking the side
- 2:00of non citizens over citizens. President Trump Tuesday posthumously awarded
- 2:07America's highest civilian ardor to Turning Point USA founder. She

- 2:17and for freedom.
- 2:18Speaker 3: In a Rose Garden ceremony with Kirk's widow, Erica. Then

- 2:30aid to the country if he didn't succeed in defending
- 2:34his presidency next year and keeping majorities in the House
- 2:38this year. He also said that he had communicated to

- 3:11and said to The Financial Times. Ashley tell Us, senior
- 3:17advisor at the State Department and expert on Indian and
- 3:21South affairs, was arrested on charges of printing out classified
- 3:25documents and storing more than a thousand pages of highly
- 3:28sensitive government records and filing cabinets and trash bags at
- 3:32her home after FBI agents searched the home over the
- 3:36weekend and found what they said was a trove of
- 3:39records marked classified to the highest secret levels. And those
- 3:44are some of our first things this morning. Let me
- 3:47get to the phones and get your thoughts on the
- 3:50news of the day. Good morning, who's this?
- 3:52Speaker 5: Hey?
- 3:53Speaker 6: This is?
- 3:53Speaker 3: And how good house Florida this morning? Andy?
- 3:57Speaker 7: Oh, it's great. So they've defund to the chemtrails by
- 4:01shutting the government down, which is that's some good news.
- 4:05Speaker 3: Yeah, there, you do always take the good Yeah.
- 4:08Speaker 7: It's also our rates have gone up dramatically because of
- 4:13the solar farms and wind farm things. My electric bill
- 4:20has almost tripled since I moved here.
- 4:23Speaker 3: Oh my, I usuage hasn't gone up at all.
- 4:26Speaker 7: And it's the stuff that y'all talked about. I'm like, okay,
- 4:29I can, I can afford this, but it's silly that
- 4:33this kind of thing is happening.
- 4:35Speaker 3: Well, because they're passing they're passing the losses on this
- 4:38un you know, this unproductive energy sources. They're passing the
- 4:44losses onto the ratepayers when the government won't pick it
- 4:47up for them.
- 4:48Speaker 7: Right exactly. And it's I learned just I went to
- 4:52these little freedom conferences locally here and that was one
- 4:55of the subjects. The other thing is happening this weekend
- 5:00and I'm going over And then I've been affiliated with
- 5:04the Thesis Institute for a long time as just as
- 5:07a sponsor. But I met this young man who'd written
- 5:12this book for kids and his topic is not going
- 5:16to be prunious book, but about ending the FED. And
- 5:21right after that, the uh that Bob Murphy is in
- 5:26one of these scholars. They said, you know, blame next
- 5:29and not China, you know, so that'll be interesting to
- 5:32hear that interesting speech.
- 5:34Speaker 3: Well, you know what, and is it the same Nixon
- 5:37that came back from China and he went there and
- 5:39then came back and did we ever take the NA
- 5:42test to make sure he wasn't a doppelganger. That's good stuff,
- 5:48is too.
- 5:48Speaker 7: I actually have the Time magazine cover or actually the
- 5:53actual book, because inside of it, my mom was really
- 5:57close with the guy who came up with the idea
- 6:01of separating the lunar lender, you know, sending things up
- 6:05and having They weren't best friends, but you know, I
- 6:10drive an original signature from John Hobo in that in
- 6:15my archives that I found my mom's stuff in.
- 6:19Speaker 3: Uh, the last question you got about thirty seconds.
- 6:25Speaker 7: Okay, Patrick Henry, his place was tourist in nineteen nineteen.
- 6:30I don't know if you know that, but I mean
- 6:32he's my guy. He's my definitely my founder, and I
- 6:36know that Jonathan and Patrick Meuman are both people who
- 6:41know him as being like the best of the best.
- 6:44And during that time period he ran for the exits
- 6:48when they tried to get him involved in the federalism.
- 6:51Speaker 3: Sorry, that's how we wound up with the Bill of Rights.
- 6:54Patrick Henry's force on that good stuff. And do you
- 6:57have a great morning, sir?

- 8:00Speaker 12: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:08bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:19optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:23nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:27reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:32The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:37has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:43cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

- 10:01Speaker 14: Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
- 10:04with animals. I'm not only in all of their beauty
- 10:06and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
- 10:09at the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or
- 10:12Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
- 10:15or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
- 10:17secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
- 10:21jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
- 10:23in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
- 10:26by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
- 10:29wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
- 10:32they also perform life saving work every day.
- 10:35Speaker 13: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
- 10:36Speaker 14: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS
- 10:39they work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change.
- 10:42Speaker 13: In their blood chemistry.
- 10:43Speaker 14: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
- 10:46contribute to society and help those in need. So please
- 10:49join me an American Humane and supporting our heroic working
- 10:52dogs and all the amazing animals on this planet we
- 10:54inhabit together.

- 11:00Speaker 15: Uh oh, bruh, that's buzzed.
- 11:01Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 11:06Speaker 16: And now a speech.
- 11:07Speaker 10: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
- 11:11art and brain.
- 11:12Speaker 13: Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 15: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
- 11:16brain is saying when it's time to go home. Somebody
- 11:19call me a ride.
- 11:20Speaker 17: Love that guy, me too.
- 11:22Speaker 18: Know your buzzed warning signs call for a ride when
- 11:24it's time to go home.
- 11:25Speaker 13: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 11:29Speaker 19: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 11:32costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
- 11:36good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
- 11:40One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 11:43energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
- 11:47learn how to do it. Yourself at energysavers dot gov.
- 11:50That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
- 11:53leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
- 11:57improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
- 12:00when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
- 12:03energy Star logo and read the energy guide label, and
- 12:07there are day to day things you can do. Lower
- 12:09your thermostat and winter and raise it in the summer,
- 12:12close fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep

- 12:33first to notice when a veteran you love has been

- 12:55Speaker 9: Treatment works recovery is possible on.
- 13:17Speaker 1: A need to know basis, because you need to know
- 13:20the first thing today a tennes.
- 13:25Speaker 3: The Morning yesterday, we spent some time on a new
- 13:29tactic I think a tactic that works, especially when you're
- 13:33dealing with somebody entrenched who you know doesn't believe what
- 13:36they're saying and is coached up and is being fed lines.
- 13:42You keep nudging them until they squeeze a little bit
- 13:46of truthiness out. We watched it when Terry mcculluffs said
- 13:49he didn't believe parents should have any role in what
- 13:53their kids are taught in school. And last week, just
- 13:56a week ago, we watched Abigail Spanberger confess that there
- 14:00shouldn't be naked men in women's bathrooms. And yeah, and
- 14:06I've talked to some folks that are like, oh, well,
- 14:08I mean, it's still she can legally get away with
- 14:10this thing. But this case of the lunacy that has
- 14:16been allowed to metastasize to our society has gone even further.
- 14:23Sex offenders now found in school boards just outside our
- 14:27nation's capital and they're caught an email talking about using
- 14:38the girl's locker room and to talk about this with
- 14:41us from defending ed dot org. An amazing organization is
- 14:47Kendall Teats. Kendall, thank you for taking some time out
- 14:50with us this morning early for you out there in Texas.
- 14:53But thank you for our first and foremost everything you
- 14:55guys do at Defending Education.
- 14:58Speaker 6: Thank you and thanks for having me. It's great to
- 15:00be here.
- 15:01Speaker 3: So you know, what did you find? I mean, because
- 15:04this is another arrow in the quiver of people to
- 15:10defend ourselves again people saying, oh, this is apocryphal, this
- 15:13isn't really happening. This is all this is. You have
- 15:18the emails between these guys who you know, using transgenderism
- 15:23to get into the girl's locker room.
- 15:26Speaker 22: Yeah. So through public records request Defending Education GOD documents
- 15:33from Arlington County Public Schools, which what you said is
- 15:36right outside of DC. And basically we found that Richard Cox,
- 15:40who was a fifty eight year old man, used Elias's
- 15:45including Ricky Cox, how he signed his.
- 15:49Speaker 6: Name.
- 15:50Speaker 22: He reached out to now a sitting school board member
- 15:53of the Arlington County Public Schools, basically just complaining about
- 15:58what he said was bad treatment by staff at these
- 16:02these pools. So for a little bit of background, there
- 16:06are Arlington County public spaces that he went into as
- 16:10well as Arlington public school spaces.
- 16:13Speaker 6: Okay, and after hours, after school. Those are open to
- 16:17the community.
- 16:18Speaker 3: Like swimming pools and things like that, exactly. And by
- 16:22the way, if you see this guy, radio is not
- 16:24a visual medium. But if you look at this guy,
- 16:28you know, I don't know how you mistake him for
- 16:31a female, but I guess that's how he was trying
- 16:34to pull it off. I don't know how much foundation
- 16:36he uses, but I don't see it. But maybe I'm
- 16:40not a good judge, Kendall. Anyway, continue on the backstory
- 16:44of this guy.
- 16:46Speaker 22: Yeah, that's exactly the point, right, So, I mean both
- 16:49Arlington Public School in Arlington County, they allow individuals based
- 16:54on their self identified gender to use restrooms in locker rooms,
- 17:00you know, female restrooms and locker rooms. And you know,
- 17:03in this case, that meant that this person, Richard Cox,
- 17:07this man was able to use the same facilities used
- 17:11by three ps and girls.
- 17:13Speaker 6: So he reached out.
- 17:15Speaker 22: To a sitting school board member, now at the time,
- 17:18she was running for the position, basically saying, you know,
- 17:22should I vote for you?
- 17:23Speaker 6: What is your position on this?
- 17:26Speaker 22: And you know, she touted her work for the Queer
- 17:29Insurance Advocacy Organization are both multiple queer insurance organizations, and
- 17:36you know how she was she was in favor of
- 17:39him being able to use you know, the showers and
- 17:43changing rooms that he feels most comfortable using.
- 17:45Speaker 6: I mean she said that point blank.
- 17:47Speaker 22: So she also said, you know, she hoped that he
- 17:50wasn't experiencing any sort of transphobic comments from the staff.
- 17:55And then you know, after he said he was offended
- 17:59by Pool's staff. After this exchange, Cox allegedly went on
- 18:04to repeat this behavior six times in both Fairfax and
- 18:08Arlington County facilities. I think that that's really important to note.
- 18:12Speaker 3: Now, if I understand this story correctly, he's already on
- 18:17a sex offender list. This isn't like new behavior for him.
- 18:22There there are a lists with this guy on it
- 18:24saying don't you know register go on databases and things
- 18:29like that. Correct.
- 18:31Speaker 22: Yeah, so he's facing a let me of charges and
- 18:34like you said, this isn't new for him. He's been
- 18:36doing this for a while and he is a registered
- 18:39sex offender. And that was one of the other things
- 18:42to be uncovered was that, you know, it's it they
- 18:46were not checking IDs against the sex offender registry. They've
- 18:52changed that policy, but that's how they were able to
- 18:58he was able to gain access these facilities.
- 19:01Speaker 6: It's exactly right.
- 19:02Speaker 22: We have an instance where it's, you know, a person
- 19:05who's claiming to be transgender who wants to use these restrooms,
- 19:08but they're also sex offender, a sex offender, and that
- 19:11I think is is a double issue here where this
- 19:18person was, because of bad policy, allowed to get access
- 19:22to these facilities.
- 19:24Speaker 3: So you know, the core principle of America is government
- 19:28is there to secure our rights. Failing miserably in this
- 19:33and I think this case is just another laundry list
- 19:38of allowances for virtue signaling. Kendall, do you agree that.
- 19:44I mean, this is what happens when these political leaders
- 19:47decide that it's more important to virtue signal and be
- 19:50seen supporting a marginalized community without checking to see if
- 19:55the person involved is even part of that marginalized community.
- 20:01Speaker 6: Exactly.
- 20:02Speaker 22: So you know, this sitting school board member, without any
- 20:05apparent betting or an inquiry into who he was, basically
- 20:10just responded and said, yes, you should vote for me.
- 20:13Here's my record as an ally to the LGBTQ community.
- 20:17Speaker 6: To basically secure Cox's vote.
- 20:20Speaker 22: So you know, she expressed concern about potential transphobic comments
- 20:25from staff and told this fifty eight year old man
- 20:28that he should be able to use the showers and
- 20:30changing rooms that he's most comfortable using.
- 20:32Speaker 6: And that is a quote we have her end quote saying.
- 20:34Speaker 3: That, go, oh my gosh, I don't know how we
- 20:42fix this except by dragging it out into the sunlight.
- 20:47And Kendall, bless you and all the folks at defending
- 20:49It for doing that, because this festering pile has to
- 20:52be dragged out into the glaring sun so that it
- 20:55can be seen for what it is.
- 20:58Speaker 6: That's exactly right, and that's what we here at defending ED.
- 21:01Speaker 3: And you take comments. You get contact from parents all
- 21:06the time. I understand that you know are calling you,
- 21:10texting you saying you should see what's going on at
- 21:13my school. What's the best way for somebody to do that?
- 21:17Speaker 22: Yeah, So I would say the best way is to
- 21:19go to defending at dot org. You can get in
- 21:21contact with us there and we can we can go
- 21:26from there, and we also have a bunch of resources
- 21:29for parents and information as well as all of our
- 21:33investigations at defending ed dot org.
- 21:35Speaker 3: And you guys, you know, go to the bat and
- 21:37go to the mat for these parents. Oftentimes because they're
- 21:41going to become targets, you know, whistleblowers, and as they
- 21:45have become in these schools, you have to stop this
- 21:50because this is predatory. And I'm old enough to remember.
- 21:53I look like I'm about Ricky Konx's age, maybe a
- 21:56little older. I remember when this stuff would get you
- 21:59landed in. Let's see if.
- 22:02Speaker 23: Something costs less but people are happier with it, that
- 22:06sounds like something to look into, and that is meta Share.
- 22:09Maybe you've heard switching to meta share to pay for
- 22:11healthcare can save many families up to five hundred bucks
- 22:14a month, and that is huge, But it's also true
- 22:16that people are way more satisfied after making the switch too.
- 22:20The members satisfaction rate for meta share is double that
- 22:23of the typical health insurance plan. Double meta share works too.
- 22:27It's been around for thirty years. Members have shared more
- 22:29than five billion dollars of each other's bills. People love
- 22:33having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network. So yeah, really,
- 22:36you can save a ton and like it better. Imagine
- 22:39being happy with how you're taking care of your health care.

- 24:07bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 24:13am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:23nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:27reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:32The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:37has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:42cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 24:46in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 24:51healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

- 28:21Speaker 3: First thing today by Joe Thomas and Crisis on a
- 28:26multiple universes here as the load disk space monster has
- 28:33come up and bit in our studios here and we
- 28:35don't know why engineers are looking at but we're visiting
- 28:39with Kendall teets from defending ed. That much is easy
- 28:42because you and I don't have load disk space. Kendall
- 28:46and I appreciate your visits with us. And we were
- 28:50talking during the last segment about this case out of Arlington,
- 28:55Virginia where a sex offender has been charged with this
- 29:03case of now trying to get into these girls' bathrooms
- 29:09and girls' locker rooms and the compliance of school board
- 29:14members and elected officials trying to gain gravitas from this.
- 29:19What you know, what is the hope that there's going
- 29:23to be criminal charges. This isn't a area where a
- 29:26lot of George sorow's prosecutors are is there going to
- 29:31be charges? Is it to the point where it's so
- 29:35out of control that there's no uh, there is no
- 29:38choice but to bring these charges to folks.
- 29:42Speaker 22: So so, Richard Cox is currently facing multiple charges in
- 29:47Arlington County related to his allege exposer incidents in these
- 29:52women's locker rooms. So I think I believe he recently
- 29:55appeared at a preliminary hearing where witnesses test against him,
- 30:01and now prosecutors are moving forward.
- 30:03Speaker 6: With the case. So I don't think that there's a.
- 30:08Speaker 22: Child aid yet, but I believe he's scheduled to be
- 30:11in court later this month, So this is something that
- 30:15is actively ongoing.
- 30:17Speaker 3: So what do parents need to be watching out for?
- 30:21We were talking before that, we went to the news
- 30:23break about your whistle blower protections and the things that
- 30:27you're able to do for parents there when they bring
- 30:32these issues up. Obviously that takes resources, but parents are
- 30:37often afraid because you know, these hierarchical schools, you know,
- 30:44they they turn on kids and they will make life
- 30:48quote difficult for kids that make trouble in the schools.
- 30:52What what do parents need to be looking out for
- 30:56or is this just more reason we need to you know,
- 31:01get more money follows the child's school choice out there.
- 31:06Speaker 6: Yeah. Absolutely, I think.
- 31:10Speaker 22: Parents, you know, they have a right to anonymity if
- 31:12they come to us with a tip, so we will
- 31:16always welcome those as far as you know what parents
- 31:19can be doing on the ground, My thing is always
- 31:24they should just know the policies of their school districts
- 31:28and you know, do they have a policy where they
- 31:31allow you know, kids and potentially adults to use the
- 31:37bathrooms and locker rooms even compete on sports teams according
- 31:42to their chosen gender identity. So just being in the
- 31:46know about what those policies look like is really step one.
- 31:51Speaker 3: And yeah, and I hate to go back to the
- 31:55elected officials when we listen to Abigail Spanberger, you know,
- 31:59finally pressed on no men in no naked men in
- 32:02women's bathrooms. You know, are there members of the other
- 32:08political party that are finally getting to the point where
- 32:12they can't take being associated with some of this ignorance?
- 32:17Speaker 22: Well, yeah, I think that you know, there's instances like
- 32:20that one where it's it's like an instance where you know,
- 32:23you were pressed and ultimately saying that you want grown
- 32:28men naked, grown men in a young girl's bathroom is
- 32:33an indefensible position. So at a certain point, when you're
- 32:37finally pressed multiple times on this issue, you can't.
- 32:43Speaker 6: Come out in favor of that. You have to come
- 32:46out against it.
- 32:47Speaker 22: So I think that's what we saw in the case
- 32:49of Abiel Spanberger, where she basically said, you know, okay, fine,
- 32:53this is what I believe, but she knows that that
- 32:58is maybe unpopular with people in her party.
- 33:03Speaker 3: But it takes courage. I mean, it takes courage to
- 33:05do this. This is the kind of stuff that used
- 33:08to land people, you know, in prison, and now we've
- 33:12normalized it. I mean, it's a classic example of the
- 33:15Overton window. We somebody says something crazy, we say, wow,
- 33:21that's crazy, and within a few years we're discussing it
- 33:26like it's a public policy. You know what, how much
- 33:29further can this go? Or are we at that tipping
- 33:33point that, you know, finally we've said enough's enough? Or
- 33:37do we have to go further down this horrific road
- 33:43towards even worse things than have happened in here in
- 33:47Virginia and in other school districts.
- 33:51Speaker 22: I do think I'm hopeful that the pendulum is swinging.
- 33:56So a lot of these once again most egregious example
- 34:00like this one, you know, is not defensible for our defendable,
- 34:06I should say, for Abigail Spanberger, so she she's forced
- 34:10to say, Okay, fine, I don't support that. So I
- 34:13do think that that that means that the pendulum is
- 34:16swinging as well as public opinion is on our side.
- 34:20Speaker 6: I think that this is not this is not popular
- 34:22for uh, for a lot of among a lot of parents,
- 34:26and you know, they want their kids to be safe.
- 34:28Speaker 22: So the voters have the ability to really enact that change, I.
- 34:33Speaker 3: Think, and you need to be looking at it. And
- 34:36one of the things, and I bring this back up
- 34:39because obviously people are going to go out there and say, oh,
- 34:41you're just a hater, Joe, you hate kids or whatever.
- 34:45And you know, and we watched the T shirts and
- 34:47we watched it in another local school division where the
- 34:54speaker was supposed to come to the school from the
- 34:56Family Foundation. Then they compared her to the klu Klux
- 34:59cl We saw the sign that said, hey, Winsome speaking
- 35:04to the GOP gubernatorial candidate. If trans can't use your bathroom,
- 35:09then you can't drink from my water fountain bringing up
- 35:12the images of Jim Crow. The we're ignoring through all
- 35:18of this, kids who are screaming out for help. And
- 35:23if there's anything and I'm sure you guys at defending
- 35:26Edfield this as well, tell me if I'm off base
- 35:28on this. If a kid says I hate who I
- 35:31am indulging it just to you know, become the cool
- 35:35parent who's empowering their kid to be transgender, I think
- 35:40is Munchausen's by proxy on steroids.
- 35:45Speaker 6: No, that's absolutely correct. I mean, we do think that,
- 35:48you know, the first step is those kids, it's to
- 35:51cry for help. So you know, we've tracked.
- 35:54Speaker 22: Policies across the country where unfortunately, instances like this are
- 36:00are hidden from children or sorry from parents where their
- 36:04children is you know, their child is transitioned socially, perhaps
- 36:08behind their back, different names and pronouns, and there are
- 36:12once again policies in place where that's allowed to happen.
- 36:17So I do think that you know, a lot of
- 36:21this stuff starts in the schools, and it's really important
- 36:24to you know, for parents to be in the know
- 36:27and you really be their own advocates, because this is
- 36:33this is far too common. But like I said, I
- 36:35do think that the pendulum is swinging slightly.
- 36:40Speaker 6: And you know, parents are they know this is going on.
- 36:44Speaker 22: It's not like three, four or five years ago when
- 36:47it sounded like, oh no, that's not happening. I mean,
- 36:52we've can continue to expose instances where it is. And
- 36:57because of that, you know you can no longer say
- 37:01oh this isn't happening. It is happening, and more parents
- 37:05are speaking up.

- 38:05hundred years of life saving service as the world's leading
- 38:08nonprofit organization focused on heart and brain health. Heart disease
- 38:12still kills more people in the United States each year
- 38:15than all types of cancer combined, but more than half
- 38:17of Americans are unaware of this fact, according to a
- 38:20recent Harris Pole survey conducted for the American Heart Association. However,
- 38:25the majority of heart disease is preventable. New research has
- 38:28improved the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of heart disease and
- 38:32its risk factors. Efforts led by the American Heart Association
- 38:35have reduced deaths from heart disease by half over the
- 38:38past century and helped people with heart disease live longer
- 38:41and more productive lives while managing their condition and risk factors.

- 44:28Speaker 13: That I'm coming just.
- 44:36Speaker 3: As we wrap up. And a couple of things we're
- 44:39into this morning, and I think the most important one
- 44:43is President Trump yesterday with President Melai of Argentina talking
- 44:49about the situation where the President might actually withhold aid
- 44:58to Argentina if the President isn't successful, and everyone in
- 45:03the left, i imagine today's view will be spending quite
- 45:07a bit of time over how this is an overreach
- 45:10and the president can't do that, and he's overstepped his
- 45:17bounds the federalism, blah blah blah, and he interfering with
- 45:21one of the the same people who will go on
- 45:23about Russia collusion into the twenty sixteen election would say, oh, well,
- 45:30you cannot allow that. You can't allow President Trump to
- 45:36do that. I'm sure there are court filings already being
- 45:42prepared to try to get some Circuit court judge in
- 45:49Phoenix to stop the entirety of the process so that
- 45:57it wouldn't happen. This is a little bit of their
- 46:00is it cabinet meeting? Marco Rubio, everyone back from Israel
- 46:06yesterday with President Malay very much.
- 46:09Speaker 4: It's a great honor to have the leader of Argentina
- 46:13place that I love, I've been to and one of
- 46:16the most beautiful places in the world. President, I really
- 46:19want to thank you very much. He's maca all the
- 46:23way to make Argentina great again. I heard about him
- 46:26when he was campaigning, and even before his campaign. He's
- 46:29a great economist and he was saying a lot of
- 46:32very correct things, and he was very much in a
- 46:35conservative mode. And I heard all about you as you
- 46:39were running it, even before you were running, as a
- 46:42tremendously talented economists, you were getting a lot of good
- 46:45write ups.
- 46:46Speaker 3: And this is something that's lost in the Javier male
- 46:49I story. Is he this is an economist. This is
- 46:52somebody who understands that all you know, a rising tide
- 46:56lifts all boats.
- 46:58Speaker 4: When does it stop, one will stop and it stopped
- 47:01with him winning, and he's become very popular, and he's
- 47:06on the verge of a breakthrough. I think, I think
- 47:08he's really on the verge of tremendous economic success. And
- 47:12I know that Scott Bessant is helping and great Scott
- 47:17is doing a job and he feels very strongly about it.
- 47:19And Scott, do you want to say just a couple
- 47:21of words.
- 47:22Speaker 3: Of course, this is you know, twenty billion dollars in aid.
- 47:25President is fighting one hundred years of bad economic.
- 47:29Speaker 4: History and policy, and it is both presidents, both both.
- 47:37I thought he was talking about the US press.
- 47:41Speaker 3: And so, but it relies economic prowess is important to
- 47:48where Argentina is. And one of the reasons people say, well,
- 47:52we don't have the money ourselves, how can we send
- 47:54money to Argentina. And this is where President Trump differs
- 47:58from a lot of the arch conservatives out there, because
- 48:03he's not afraid of debt. He said so as much,
- 48:10and I think there's a middle ground. You cannot debase
- 48:14the US dollar to the point. But what he's doing
- 48:17is he's using monies that have been clawed back from
- 48:19COVID through DOGE to send money to Argentina to help
- 48:25forestall some of the programs that the anti MILI factions
- 48:32are using to try to undo him in what we
- 48:36would call mid term elections. There's congressional elections, legislative elections
- 48:41going on right now in Argentina. And this is where
- 48:45the left he's messing around in foreign countries elections. But
- 48:50when Barack Obama does it to benefit the Biden family,
- 48:56and you all and I go back to the Biden
- 48:59administration and the expose on the laptop and the fifty
- 49:02one signatures, and it's all Russian misinformation, except that it
- 49:06wasn't It was the one thing I said to you
- 49:10during that period of time, What did Barack Obama know
- 49:15and win? It's the old it's the classic Watergate question,
- 49:21what did the president know and when? Because Joe Biden
- 49:24can only sell so much real estate, there's only so
- 49:27much influence you get from the sitting vice president. The
- 49:31argument might be that as a senior member of the
- 49:35US Senate, with the strings of international trade deals in
- 49:41his purview, Joe Biden the Senator was probably more valuable
- 49:46real estate than he was his vice president, except that
- 49:51he had access to the president. So Hunter Biden and
- 49:57Bill Biden and doctor j Ill and all these folks
- 50:02have access to this real estate, this roadway that leads
- 50:09to the president, who then gets to make these decisions.
- 50:12So when you look at the five billion dollars spent
- 50:17in Ukraine in twenty fourteen, I mean this, President Trump,
- 50:22as I said at the onset of the program, is
- 50:26at least telling you up front. He doesn't need PolitiFact
- 50:29to say, well, they didn't know. Nobody said they were
- 50:32sending the money to cause havoc and to get riots.
- 50:36And the truth is we wound up with the situation
- 50:53in Ukraine, not just because Joe Biden was an weak
- 50:56and ineffectual commander in chief, but because Joe Biden wanted
- 51:02Barisma and all the oligarchs that were running Ukraine to
- 51:05be powerful through Russia. And so, you know, when they
- 51:14were showing a popularly elected president that wasn't friendly to Russia,
- 51:23they had to break that down. And so they were
- 51:32pushing away, you know, entire swaths of Russian nationals living,
- 51:37you know, expats living in Ukraine, so that the Ukrainian
- 51:42centric candidate would win. And now we have an invasion
- 51:48because they felt like it benefited Barisma holdings. We've talked
- 51:53about this in the past. Corruption is in many forms.
- 52:01How do you corrupt a decision? Donald Trump says, hey,
- 52:05you know what, if Melia doesn't get realcted, you don't
- 52:08get the aid. You can't say that. But when Barack
- 52:13Obama goes under the table and says, here, spend this
- 52:16on activism and riots and public unrest, and will restrict
- 52:22access to just the Ukrainians in certain areas and will
- 52:27lean on the scales of your election, nobody knows about it,
- 52:32so nobody says anything about it. I know the red
- 52:40Light's got to go off until tomorrow. So long and
- 52:47thanks for all the fish. Now clean my hard drive.
- 52:51Speaker 15: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
- 52:53compression of spinal nerves. According to doctor Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
- 52:57California based chiropractor with more than thirty years of experience,
