  Speaker 6: We're going to visit with is it Matt or Matt
• 1:15
  Speaker 6: slap or Mercedes from seapak. Also we've got a peel
• 1:21
  Speaker 6: apart how the media has been covering and I say
• 1:25
  Speaker 6: that in air quotes covering the war in Iran and
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: what it is an honest brokerage, you know, just just
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: for the sake of having some honest brokerage in that
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: there and to that end we were talking, Bob, thank
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: you for hanging on the line with us here. Before
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: we get into our first things, I had a question
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: regarding where we are in Congress. So you know, DHS
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: funding failed again.
• 1:58
  Speaker 8: Yesterday, and.
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: Of a time where we can be without the Department
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: of Homeland Security. And I was a critic of the
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: development of it. I told Tom Ridge before he even
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: took the job. I asked him, why was it constitutional
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: to do these things? We've seen it manifest, but gosh,
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: if we're going to have it and they're in charge
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: of things like airport security and making sure big events
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: or secure and everything, having a budget and making sure
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: these people aren't trying to make ends meet on Coupon's
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: cut out of the Kroger flyer, is I think important?
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: Aside from the change in leadership with Senator Mullen moving in,
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: I guess as an appointee and we'll see if he
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: gets confirmed, talk about this inability to get the DHS
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: funding done, Bob, what needs to happen here?
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: Well, First of all, I hope that the President and
• 2:57
  Speaker 7: the administration will not back away from strong enforcement of
• 3:02
  Speaker 7: our immigration laws and deportation of illegals who are here.
• 3:06
  Speaker 7: And the signs are concerning the President even just yesterday
• 3:11
  Speaker 7: talked about, hey, we got to give a little bit,
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: got to be flexible. This is cheap labor. These people
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: are working on our farms and in our hotels and
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: our restaurants. The President is weakening on that, I think,
• 3:23
  Speaker 7: bowing to political pressure.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: And I'm concerned about that.
• 3:26
  Speaker 7: And we'll see what this changed to Mark Wayne Mullin, who,
• 3:29
  Speaker 7: by the way, was selected seemingly just like Christy Noan.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Based on being a Trump supporter, if you will.
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: He has no applicable experience in his background that would
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: qualify him for this role other than he's a friend
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: of the president. By the way, he is a Rhino
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: buddy of Kevin McCarthy, just like Christy nom but DHS funding.
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: I hope the Republicans remain strong on that they won't
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: make any concessions on changing policy that Tom Homan is
• 3:58
  Speaker 7: trying to implement successful with the.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Council from Stephen Miller, who's a friend.
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: But to your point, it does the Democrats retaliation against
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: ice and border patrol. They are flush with cash from
• 4:14
  Speaker 7: the Big Bill last summer where they got tens of
• 4:16
  Speaker 7: billions of dollars of extra money. They're hurting Coastguard, They're
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: hurting FEMA, they're hurting TSA. They're hurting those who are
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: not the object of the wrath, if you will, and
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: it's going to at some point begin to hurt the
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: American people increasingly. The House passed the funding mechanism on
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: a bipartisan basis yesterday, with four or five Democrats joining
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: I think all Republicans, but the Senate, to your point,
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: I think you only had perhaps one Republican maybe Fetterman,
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: vote for it, so it didn't pass with the necessary
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: sixty votes. I think public pressure will mount on that
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: if the Republicans hold strong and don't give in and
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: concede to the Democrat demands to change Trump's policies. That
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: are the right policies as long as they're enforced and
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: execute properly.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: Bob, Good On with Us, Good for America is the podcast.
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: I've got to do our first things, Bob, So hang
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: on with us. Like I said, Ceapack and media and
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: a lot of folks looking to join you in sharing
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: your morning with you. Senate Democrats Thursday blocked a bill
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: to fund the Department of Homeland Security. As Bob was saying,
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: fifty one to forty five, some Republicans abandoned. John Fetterman
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: voted with the Republicans. Several states, about two dozen, are
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: part of a class action suit looking for reparations on
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: the global tariffs and what they claim are tax revenues
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: that they didn't collect because of them.
• 5:40
  Speaker 8: The leaders of the case are.
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: Oregon, Arizona, California, and New York, along with states like
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: Virginia and Connecticut and Colorado, and the governors even of
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: Kentucky and Pennsylvania are coat signatory. The United States and
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: Venezuela have agreed to re establish diplomatic relations. State departments
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: said Thursday. Several rounds of Trump administration officials have visited
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: Venezuela in the past week week and a half after
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: the military operation to depose President Nicholas Meduro, who hasn't
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: really been seen since. Rising oil prices have the Treasury
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: Department's attention. They are moving to bring in some measures
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: aimed at easing pressure. Meanwhile, the Strait of Horne movez
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: remains closed. Iranian military has that choke point closed up,
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: and that's twenty percent of the world's oil supply, which
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: in a world of commodities, means the people who sell
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: the gasoline to the gas station on the corner are
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: raising their prices because it's going to become harder to
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: get if they can't reopen the strait.
• 6:52
  Speaker 9: And those are some of our first.
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: Things we'll get back seapack, media mischaracterization and your phone
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: calls as well.
• 7:00
  Speaker 10: First thing today, let's see if something costs less a
• 7:03
  Speaker 10: lot less, but people are actually happier with it. That
• 7:07
  Speaker 10: sounds like something to look into, and that's meta share.
• 7:10
  Speaker 10: Maybe you've heard joining metashare can save you or your
• 7:12
  Speaker 10: family up to five hundred bucks a month.
• 7:15
  Speaker 11: And that's huge, but it's also true. People are just
• 7:17
  Speaker 11: happier with it.
• 7:18
  Speaker 10: They love being part of something that reflects and promotes their.
• 7:21
  Speaker 11: Values and what they believe in.
• 7:23
  Speaker 9: Meda Share works too.
• 7:24
  Speaker 10: It's been around for thirty years now and members have
• 7:27
  Speaker 10: shared more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills.
• 7:31
  Speaker 10: People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide ppo networks.
• 7:35
  Speaker 10: So yeah, really, you can save a ton and like
• 7:37
  Speaker 10: it better imagine being happy with how you're taking care
• 7:40
  Speaker 10: of your health care. Whether you're self employed or part
• 7:42
  Speaker 10: of the gig economy, or you just want to plan
• 7:45
  Speaker 10: that you're happy with.
• 7:46
  Speaker 9: Here you go.
• 7:46
  Speaker 10: You can call right now and get a price within
• 7:48
  Speaker 10: two minutes. A very very smart use of two minutes.
• 7:51
  Speaker 10: Here's the number you need.
• 7:52
  Speaker 11: It's eight five to five share forty eight five five
• 7:56
  Speaker 11: share forty eight five five share.
• 7:59
  Speaker 12: Forty Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the
• 8:07
  Speaker 12: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market.
• 8:12
  Speaker 12: I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
• 8:18
  Speaker 12: our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to
• 8:22
  Speaker 12: any nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing
• 8:26
  Speaker 12: or reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:32
  Speaker 12: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:37
  Speaker 12: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 12: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 12: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51
  Speaker 12: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

  Speaker 14: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 14: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 14: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the

  Speaker 14: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
• 10:21
  Speaker 14: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
• 10:23
  Speaker 14: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 10:26
  Speaker 14: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29
  Speaker 14: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 10:32
  Speaker 14: perform life saving work every day.

  Speaker 15: Dogs keep us safe at airports.

  Speaker 14: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTSS.

• 10:42
  Speaker 14: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of

• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Media Network, all natural and free of artificial intelligence.
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm not sure what you mean by that, but
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: I sense a tongue in cheek there from the announcers.
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: Booth not zack out.
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: We're going to hit a Texas.
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: Town or two in a couple of weeks as we
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: head to the Conservative Political Action Conference colloquially known to
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: all as Sea Pack twenty twenty six. And the Boss
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: is on the phone with us, so everyone be on
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: your best behavior. Or is that Mercedes?
• 13:54
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: Matt probably would say it's a Mercedes lap, but match
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: Flap is on the phone with us.
• 13:59
  Speaker 8: Good morning, Matt. How are you doing, sir?
• 14:01
  Speaker 17: Hey Joe, great to be with you again in Mercedes
• 14:04
  Speaker 17: is like sitting behind me. We're in Miami for some meetings,
• 14:08
  Speaker 17: and we are getting ready to be in the sunshine
• 14:11
  Speaker 17: because Dallas is going to be beautiful weather.
• 14:14
  Speaker 9: Well that's that is.
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: So it's a neat idea because I know this is
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: sort of born of COVID when Maryland wasn't letting anyone
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: gather together because Lord only knows what we might discover
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: like that we shouldn't have been kept apart. When you
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: move down to Florida and then Dallas. You did a
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: spot there in Texas during the pandemic as well. You know,
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: is this going to be a theme, because I'm going
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: to try to get sponsored by booking dot com. If
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: if I need to travel around to catch up with
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: SEAPAC every year.
• 14:48
  Speaker 9: Well I guess I'll make it public.
• 14:50
  Speaker 17: Next year we're going to be in Florida and Orlando,
• 14:53
  Speaker 17: and then the following year we'll be back in Dallas.
• 14:56
  Speaker 9: You know, Texas and Florida, or the two centers of
• 14:59
  Speaker 9: the universe.
• 15:00
  Speaker 17: It's not just for American politics that we can see
• 15:02
  Speaker 17: with all this news coming out of both those states,
• 15:04
  Speaker 17: especially Texas recently, but just.
• 15:06
  Speaker 12: Of the whole world.
• 15:07
  Speaker 17: I mean, I'm here in Miami. I believe Miami is
• 15:10
  Speaker 17: now what New York City used to be. It's the
• 15:12
  Speaker 17: center of everything. Everyone meets here. There's a lot of
• 15:15
  Speaker 17: financial deals being done here. The city is transforming. It's
• 15:19
  Speaker 17: had mostly Republican leadership, and you know, even the Democrats
• 15:25
  Speaker 17: in Miami, like they haven't lost their minds. And that's
• 15:30
  Speaker 17: and so it's a it's a happy place to be.
• 15:32
  Speaker 17: It's a good place to be, and you know, you
• 15:34
  Speaker 17: run into people. Last night, I ran into a couple
• 15:37
  Speaker 17: of ambassadors down in Coral Gables and it's just it's
• 15:41
  Speaker 17: there's there's a hub of activity here, and I think
• 15:43
  Speaker 17: Dallas is I'm less familiar with Dallas, but it's very
• 15:46
  Speaker 17: similar in Dallas.
• 15:46
  Speaker 9: And we're excited to be down there in Grapevine.
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: All right, So now'll get the logistics Department on Orlando's
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: to next year, because there's always so much good, interesting
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: stuff right off the head lines. Rez of Polavi is
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: going to be one of the speakers at Seapack this year.
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: Is Iran and are bombing in Tehran and our assault
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: on the theocracy going to dominate our discussions this year
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: in Sea pac met well.
• 16:19
  Speaker 17: It's hard not to be consumed with it. I'm fifty
• 16:22
  Speaker 17: eight years old and my childhood is consumed with memories
• 16:26
  Speaker 17: and fears of you know, Americans held hostage in Iran,
• 16:32
  Speaker 17: the rise of our understanding that Jihad was a real
• 16:36
  Speaker 17: threat to America, and the seeming kind of impotence of
• 16:39
  Speaker 17: America to do anything to stop it. And boy, you know,
• 16:44
  Speaker 17: we got three wars going on that the American people
• 16:46
  Speaker 17: probably don't think about. But we have a war which
• 16:48
  Speaker 17: China going on, we got a war with Jihad, and
• 16:50
  Speaker 17: we got a war with these cartels, and Trump is
• 16:54
  Speaker 17: hitting all three simultaneously. He took out the leader of Venezuela,
• 16:58
  Speaker 17: who was kind of like a mob boss, and he's
• 17:02
  Speaker 17: done what he did in Iran. And I'm staying with
• 17:04
  Speaker 17: a friend of mine who runs in a group focused
• 17:08
  Speaker 17: on making sure Ron never gets the nuclear weapon, and
• 17:12
  Speaker 17: he was going through the success of the of the
• 17:15
  Speaker 17: hits in Iran.
• 17:16
  Speaker 9: I don't think the American people understand.
• 17:18
  Speaker 17: How successful this has been and how popular it is
• 17:22
  Speaker 17: within the Arab and Muslim world. They basically all hate Iran,
• 17:27
  Speaker 17: and so this greets even if I don't know what's
• 17:30
  Speaker 17: going to happen going forward with the government, but even
• 17:33
  Speaker 17: just alone, the fact that we've eviscerated their ability to
• 17:35
  Speaker 17: terrorize people, it's a very good thing.
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: Well that was a point about an hour ago a
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: listener email, you know, out of our affiliate in Connecticut
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: saying that he thought, you know, I thought, yeah, you guys,
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: was Trump maga people, you know, the epithets. But his
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: point of the email was, I thought Trump was going
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: to be the guy who ended wars, not started them.
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: And it sounds like you're of the same mind that
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: I am. This is this is an attempt to end
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: a war that's been going on for both of our
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: adult lives, more than it is to start a new one.
• 18:08
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that's exactly right.
• 18:09
  Speaker 17: I mean, Iran essentially is the number one funder and
• 18:13
  Speaker 17: orchestrator of terrorism around the world. They're obsessed with defeating
• 18:18
  Speaker 17: the Great Satan. And look that some people have said
• 18:20
  Speaker 17: this was a mistake because now you know, a new
• 18:24
  Speaker 17: form of terror is going to be unleashed. And I
• 18:25
  Speaker 17: don't believe that. I think these radicals about twenty percent
• 18:29
  Speaker 17: of the population in Iran who truly are rabid haters jihadis,
• 18:35
  Speaker 17: I don't think anything. I don't think this changes their mindset.
• 18:38
  Speaker 17: I think they're lunatics, but they're dangerous that what we
• 18:42
  Speaker 17: have to do is make sure that the surrounding countries
• 18:46
  Speaker 17: excuse me, and the region is more stabilized, and that
• 18:50
  Speaker 17: the Arab world can take care of these problems themselves.
• 18:53
  Speaker 17: I mean, Trump is calling Europe to take care of
• 18:56
  Speaker 17: their problems, to spend money on their military and to
• 19:00
  Speaker 17: be able to go after bad guys and or prevent
• 19:04
  Speaker 17: worse from happening. And I think something similar has to
• 19:06
  Speaker 17: happen in the air world.
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: Matt Slapp is on with us and he and Mercedes
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: are welcoming everyone to Dallas for Seapack twenty twenty six
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: starting March twenty fifth, and talking about Iran. But you know,
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: in Iran, one of the things I said is what's
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: going to happen in this next week is really going
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: to be key. All these young people that were rising up,
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: that tens of thousands of their brothers and sisters killed
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: by the regime there already, But will they rise up
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: now and take their place and get rid of the theocracy.
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: You have some expertise in that because Seapack has been
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: around since Ronald Reagan got it started, but it helped
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: Shepherd in the Tea Party movement and then Trump and
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: make America great again.
• 19:58
  Speaker 9: You have a little.
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: Experience in these, you know, grassroots organizations taking over and
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: changing the attack of a country. What suggestions would you
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: give the Iranian folks who might be listening to us
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: right now on American Forces Radio.
• 20:15
  Speaker 17: Well, you know, Joe, it all starts with somebody saying
• 20:18
  Speaker 17: they've had enough, and then you have this dynamic in
• 20:22
  Speaker 17: history where you can be so depressed about your future
• 20:25
  Speaker 17: that you do nothing.
• 20:26
  Speaker 8: You just sit.
• 20:26
  Speaker 17: I think that's what characterizes a lot of people in Cuba.
• 20:30
  Speaker 17: They're so discouraged about you know, sixty plus years, seventy
• 20:35
  Speaker 17: years of this communist rule that you know, they kind
• 20:40
  Speaker 17: of just it becomes a mindset. Iran seems to it seems,
• 20:43
  Speaker 17: of course we don't get the pictures out of Iran
• 20:45
  Speaker 17: and the stories out of Iran, but it seems from
• 20:48
  Speaker 17: the people I talk to that there's a real anxiety
• 20:52
  Speaker 17: and a real.
• 20:54
  Speaker 9: Energy within the people which to counter the mullas.
• 20:59
  Speaker 17: I mean, think about the generations now of people who
• 21:01
  Speaker 17: have been slaughtered and you know, my prayers are with them.
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, match slap Seapack at dot org is where
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: you get tickets to join us in Texas. Coming up
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: in so much, you know, is beyond this. I mean,
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: there's economics, there's inter governmental affairs, there's DHS, there's so
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: many people coming. We just mentioned Rezipalavi, who's the son
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: of the Shah. He has expressed, you know, a volunteer nature.
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: You know, he said he would come in as the
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: Crown Prince and trying to help with transition. There's President
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: Trump mentioned new Mulla is coming along. I'm not sure
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: that's the great idea. But this, this conversation pit that
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: is known as Seapack will delve into all of those things,
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: and Matt I want to find out more about some
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: of the other things, some of the other highlights that
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: are coming up at Sea Pack March twenty fifth, Dallas.

  Speaker 12: Forty Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the
• 24:07
  Speaker 12: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:13
  Speaker 12: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 24:18
  Speaker 12: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 24:22
  Speaker 12: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 24:26
  Speaker 12: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 24:31
  Speaker 12: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 24:36
  Speaker 12: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 24:42
  Speaker 12: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and

• 28:25
  Speaker 1: on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:27
  Speaker 27: At We're gonna be out there Seapack Dallas.
• 28:38
  Speaker 8: I don't know what that was at the beginning there, but.
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: Visiting Matt slap on with us as we talked to
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: Texas and then I guess Orlando. You can mark it
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: down in your calendar that we'll be heading to Orlando
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: for next year's Seapack conference as well.
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: Matt.
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: I appreciate you hanging on with us to get further
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: into what is coming up in Texas and what you'll
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: guys will be.
• 29:10
  Speaker 8: Doing there as.
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: As you know, we get further in towards CEPAC. Let
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: me talk about some of the other notable things coming up.
• 29:25
  Speaker 17: Well, I think the thing we have to focus on
• 29:27
  Speaker 17: first is the people that are doing things in their communities. Joe,
• 29:31
  Speaker 17: we spent way too much time as a conservative movement
• 29:34
  Speaker 17: watching famous people kind of attack each other or you know,
• 29:38
  Speaker 17: talk about how they're more or less maga, and so
• 29:41
  Speaker 17: our theme is actions not words.
• 29:43
  Speaker 9: So we're going to focus on the doers.
• 29:46
  Speaker 17: Not all of them are household names yet, but the
• 29:48
  Speaker 17: Nick Shirley's of the world, and he is coming need
• 29:52
  Speaker 17: to talk about.
• 29:53
  Speaker 9: How you just get involved in your community to push back.
• 29:57
  Speaker 17: I mean, in Texas, they have this problem where they've
• 30:00
  Speaker 17: built a breathtaking number of mosques and uh. You know,
• 30:05
  Speaker 17: in America, where we have religious freedom, you also have
• 30:08
  Speaker 17: this problem where you don't want to be growing jihad
• 30:10
  Speaker 17: uh within our country and and and Joe Biden's open
• 30:14
  Speaker 17: borders contributed to that. So you know, we want to
• 30:17
  Speaker 17: talk to we want to talk to the people who
• 30:18
  Speaker 17: are pushing back on that. There's a lot of great
• 30:20
  Speaker 17: people in media and journalism who once again they don't
• 30:23
  Speaker 17: have some big show yet, but they're making a real difference.
• 30:27
  Speaker 9: And you same thing from members of Congress.
• 30:29
  Speaker 17: You have members of Congress uh that are do that,
• 30:31
  Speaker 17: that are actually up there to get things.
• 30:33
  Speaker 9: Passed and to work hard and uh.
• 30:36
  Speaker 17: And I think too many times we've highlighted the members
• 30:39
  Speaker 17: of Congress that are just glib and you know, famous
• 30:43
  Speaker 17: and get a lot of TV hits and they're not
• 30:46
  Speaker 17: necessarily legislators.
• 30:47
  Speaker 9: So it's got we have a different approach.
• 30:49
  Speaker 17: I've watched so much during the course of the year,
• 30:53
  Speaker 17: and I don't know, I think we need to give
• 30:55
  Speaker 17: the spotlight to some people who you might not know yet.
• 30:58
  Speaker 8: Well.
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: I love that idea, especially those up and coming people
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: in the media. I'm a thirty year overnight success here
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: on the Talk Media Network. So and we're looking forward.
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: We're going to visit our friends in eleven ninety Talk
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: Radio out of Dallas when we're down there, and WGOW
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: in Chattanooga on our way our way station there, Matt
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: looking forward to seeing everyone and being part of again
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: the media row that covers this and brings it all
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: back to the folks. Sponsorships available, but you didn't hear
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: that part, but we are looking forward to it and
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: we will talk to you again very soon as we
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: head on down to Dallas.
• 31:44
  Speaker 9: All right, Joe, great to be with you again.
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: Four three four.
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: Eighty two four two one seven. Catching up there, lots
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: of and we haven't even told you what we've got
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: planned for America's two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. As we
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: go where the newsmakers are for you here on First
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: Thing Today by Joe Thomas Bob Good, a host of
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: the Good for America podcast. I appreciate you hanging on
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: the line with us and delving into a bunch of
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: things going on around the world. If a change was
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: made at DHS that it wasn't Tom Holman taking over,
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: and it was another political figure, not somebody who's actually
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: out there, you know, getting it done quote unquote.
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: That's an interesting point. Tom Holman's not a political guy.
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: I know Tom worked with him a lot during my
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: four years, met with him many times, was at the
• 32:38
  Speaker 7: border with him along with some of his allies.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: And he's an operator.
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: He's an operator's retired a couple of times and been
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: called out of retirement by President Trump and call of
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: duty if you will. I do think it's interesting why
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: didn't we just make him DHS secretary from the beginning.
• 32:54
  Speaker 7: It's hard to have an organization with two bosses. Apparently
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: they didn't like each other, he and no I have
• 32:59
  Speaker 7: heard terrible things about Nome. I'm glad she's gone. I
• 33:02
  Speaker 7: don't think she was qualified. But that's a good point.
• 33:06
  Speaker 7: I don't know why we don't just make home and
• 33:09
  Speaker 7: and we don't really need him to be the czar
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: or just make him the DHS secretary and make it
• 33:15
  Speaker 7: clear who's in charge. And I think he's effective. I
• 33:17
  Speaker 7: think he gets the job done. They send him into
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: Minnesota to come to clean up some of the mess
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: from NOME. So it is a little bit interesting the
• 33:25
  Speaker 7: way that it's structured.
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: There last question for you Bob Ken Patson says he'll
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: drop out of his race against John Cornyn if the
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: Senate gets rid of the filibuster to pass the Save
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: America Act. Is that the kind of tactic that's necessary.
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: Is that patriotic?
• 33:44
  Speaker 9: Is it?
• 33:45
  Speaker 8: Headline grabber? What is your thought on that Texas Senate race?
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: Well, answering it kind of a different way. I find
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: it deeply disturbing that Cornyn and Fune and their allies
• 33:54
  Speaker 7: are saying, well, maybe we'll pass the Save Act if
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: you'd endure Cornyn.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: Okay, why don't you.
• 34:00
  Speaker 9: Just pass it then?
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: If you could pass it, pass it for.
• 34:04
  Speaker 7: The good of the country, for the safety and security
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: of our elections. I'm not a fan of either one.
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: Cornyn is obviously a Rhino moderate. Trump shouldn't endorse him.
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: I suspect he will endorse him. That's what Trump does.
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: He always endorses the wrong person. Paxton is more conservative,
• 34:19
  Speaker 7: but he's corrupt. He's got ethical issues, moral issues, scandals,
• 34:23
  Speaker 7: and he would put the general in at risk. I
• 34:27
  Speaker 7: actually liked Wesley Hunt unfortunately finished. He should have got
• 34:30
  Speaker 7: in earlier. He's actually a pretty good conservative member of
• 34:32
  Speaker 7: the House of one of the better members who's not
• 34:34
  Speaker 7: in the Freedom Caucus.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: I would vote for Pakistan over Cornyn.
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: We got enough people like Corning in the US Senate,
• 34:41
  Speaker 7: but I suspect and fear that Trump's going to endorse Cornyn.
• 34:44
  Speaker 8: Well, thank you, Bob. What's coming up this week on
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: the Good for America podcast.
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: We're going to have Thomas Massey as my guest in
• 34:50
  Speaker 7: our next episode.
• 34:52
  Speaker 8: And we're going to be going to controversy.
• 34:54
  Speaker 7: There no controversy there, so we're going to have my
• 34:56
  Speaker 7: friend Thomas Massey and we're going to go deep on
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: the Iran issue, just like we did this morning.
• 35:01
  Speaker 8: Good for America dot org. Bob, it's always good to
• 35:03
  Speaker 8: catch up.
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: Who knows what happens in the weekend between our next visit,
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: But have a great weekend and we'll talk to you
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: again next Friday.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: Here as well. Joe, thank you.
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: My friend four three four eight eight two four two
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: one seven has always been the head scritcher with me,
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: and I know how you like. I may have said
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: this to you before, said this to you before, said
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: this to you before, but I grew up in New
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: York City during the seventies and eighties, and and Donald
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: Trump rewards people who are along with him and and
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: help him get things done. And you know, at the
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: end of the day, that's always been the determining factor.
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: So not surprised when he appointed folks who'd really worked
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: very hard to help him get reelected, like Christineohman and
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: Pam bondy uh. And that being said, it sure is
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: hell beats the alternative of, you know, more years of oh,
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: I don't know Merrick Garland at d D o J
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: or anything like that. Did we have who was who
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: was the hot mess at Department of Homeland Security. I've
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: already blocked his face out of.
• 36:16
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah he was. He was the apologist for the.
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: Auto pen app for asylum, the auto pen asylum app
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: That's that's just that was a mess. But you know,
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: so certainly it's better than the others. Bringing Tom Homan
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: in is this battle between the professional governance, almost to
• 36:42
  Speaker 6: what Matt Slapp was talking about, the professional governing Republicans
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: versus the you know, it's broke, we need to fix it.
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: Republicans like Dan Bongino and Tom Homan and these folks
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: who have had friction within the administration. I think even
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: going back to twenty seventeen, I had friends who were
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: sent into the Environmental Protection Agency for President Trump and
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: very quickly were asked to leave because the career people
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: there were not happy with the way they were being treated.
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: Well what was happening, So they they were asked to
• 37:31
  Speaker 6: leave before they really got anything done. And that's a
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: shame because the professional governance is in a lot of ways.
• 37:40
  Speaker 6: How I think we arrived here is the people saying, well,
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: we'll just have government doing things that conservatives like as
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: best we can, whereas the Democrats are here, hold my
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: copy of Dos capitile and my vodka and watch us work.

• 44:14
  Speaker 6: First thing today, Thank you for letting us be of
• 44:16
  Speaker 6: service to you. My friend Stephen Campbell Cornerstone Wealth advisors.
• 44:21
  Speaker 6: We were talking the other day and baiting each other
• 44:24
  Speaker 6: over sports teams, I think, but he had a couple
• 44:27
  Speaker 6: of really interesting ideas, so I wanted him to share
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: some ideas about protecting you from scams this morning, Steve.
• 44:35
  Speaker 15: So you know, this week we talk about every week,
• 44:38
  Speaker 15: you know, we talk about how to make money. But
• 44:41
  Speaker 15: at some point in time we need to take a break,
• 44:43
  Speaker 15: call the time out and say, well, how do we
• 44:45
  Speaker 15: protect our money once we have it? And financial scams
• 44:51
  Speaker 15: are becoming just, you know, too much of a part
• 44:55
  Speaker 15: of our life. And last year your Americans lost over
• 45:00
  Speaker 15: ten billion dollars to financial fraud and apparently that's not
• 45:05
  Speaker 15: even half of it, because that's only what was reported.
• 45:08
  Speaker 8: Holy cow, that's more than some country's GDP.
• 45:11
  Speaker 15: Yes, right, that's right. And the average laws now get
• 45:16
  Speaker 15: this between thirty and one hundred thousand dollars.
• 45:20
  Speaker 8: Oh you're not coming back from that, Holy cow.
• 45:22
  Speaker 9: That's right.
• 45:23
  Speaker 15: Yeah, So you know, and I think here's the thing.
• 45:26
  Speaker 15: Technology is making it easier for the crooks to separate
• 45:31
  Speaker 15: us from our money. And frankly, Ai, now you know,
• 45:36
  Speaker 15: and I heard this, I didn't even know what this
• 45:38
  Speaker 15: term was. AI voice cloning and deep fake video now exist.
• 45:45
  Speaker 15: You see it on Facebook or on x where you
• 45:49
  Speaker 15: see someone's picture and you know it's not them, but
• 45:52
  Speaker 15: it's close to them. And so in this deep learning,
• 45:57
  Speaker 15: you know, the part, the deep thing, the deep is
• 46:01
  Speaker 15: for learning, the deep learning. That that's the type of
• 46:04
  Speaker 15: AI fake is a fabricated or manipulated voice or picture. So,
• 46:10
  Speaker 15: and here's how it works. Scammers clone a grandchild's voice, Poppy,
• 46:16
  Speaker 15: I've been in an accident. But please don't tell mom
• 46:20
  Speaker 15: and a grandparent when they get a call from their
• 46:23
  Speaker 15: grandson or granddaughter. And if they need money, you know.
• 46:28
  Speaker 6: I mean, that's that scam is as old as the hills.
• 46:31
  Speaker 6: But if they're using AI to make it even harder
• 46:34
  Speaker 6: to ye.
• 46:35
  Speaker 15: Yeah, now listen, I'm you know, I'm gonna want to know.
• 46:37
  Speaker 15: Tell me what your address is. I'll be there, you know,
• 46:41
  Speaker 15: I'm going to get there as fast as I can
• 46:43
  Speaker 15: and so you know, but I'm not bringing my check book, dude.
• 46:46
  Speaker 15: But a lot of people, you know, get you know,
• 46:50
  Speaker 15: get scammed. So here are the other ones. And it's
• 46:52
  Speaker 15: kind of the usual suspects, the I R S threats,
• 46:57
  Speaker 15: and so you get a call from someone that's says
• 47:00
  Speaker 15: they're from the I R S. And if you don't
• 47:02
  Speaker 15: pay this money right now, they're going to send the
• 47:06
  Speaker 15: police to arrest you and Joe. You'll never get a
• 47:10
  Speaker 15: phone call from the I R S. You'll never You'll
• 47:13
  Speaker 15: never get a phone call, uh, social security suspension. But
• 47:18
  Speaker 15: the biggest one that I see in my life is
• 47:20
  Speaker 15: the Banked Fraud Department. They call you and say there's
• 47:24
  Speaker 15: been some unauthorized charges.
• 47:27
  Speaker 30: Oh and and uh and so you've got to give them, uh,
• 47:32
  Speaker 30: you know, some information to be sure and and that's sneaky.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 47:38
  Speaker 15: And then of course you know the romance scams, which
• 47:41
  Speaker 15: doctor Phil I think has covered on his UH TV show.
• 47:47
  Speaker 22: Uh.
• 47:47
  Speaker 15: And it's interesting, you know, think about this shoe. You
• 47:50
  Speaker 15: and I are not quite in that category yet we
• 47:53
  Speaker 15: both have wives. But if you've lost a loved one,
• 47:57
  Speaker 15: one of the problem with men is we get lonely
• 47:59
  Speaker 15: and we want some companionship. And all the hot Tomali
• 48:04
  Speaker 15: from Bangladesh who is wanting to create a relationship with us,
• 48:10
  Speaker 15: what we don't realize is the pictures that that they
• 48:13
  Speaker 15: send us is not really the girl. In fact, later
• 48:17
  Speaker 15: on we find out it was a guy. Oh yeah,
• 48:20
  Speaker 15: uglier than you or I and but they are really
• 48:23
  Speaker 15: good at developing that long term relationship on the Internet
• 48:29
  Speaker 15: and then they can request some money. And then of
• 48:32
  Speaker 15: course there's Ed McMahon you know in Published clearing House. Yeah,
• 48:38
  Speaker 15: you know, he'd been dead for twenty years. But the
• 48:40
  Speaker 15: scam is just it's still it's still going.
• 48:44
  Speaker 6: On, right, Yeah, you're still getting the letters? Is this
• 48:48
  Speaker 6: one of the Because I know the police. I know
• 48:50
  Speaker 6: that sheriff, Sheriff Smith and Augusta. He's always telling people, uh,
• 48:56
  Speaker 6: you know, like you said with the IRIS, we don't
• 48:59
  Speaker 6: call you, you know, and if you're if you're concerned,
• 49:02
  Speaker 6: hang up and call us back. So if somebody says
• 49:05
  Speaker 6: I'm from the I r S, hang up and call
• 49:07
  Speaker 6: the I R S office and say, did somebody call me?
• 49:10
  Speaker 8: Because that's uh.
• 49:11
  Speaker 9: That's six.
• 49:12
  Speaker 15: I have six ways to hopefully protect your money.
• 49:17
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 49:17
  Speaker 15: The first thing is slow everything down. Scammers create urgency Act.
• 49:24
  Speaker 15: Now your account will be frozen. Your granddaughter's in jail
• 49:28
  Speaker 15: this time, this offer expires today. Slowing down the process
• 49:35
  Speaker 15: also means just hanging up mm hmm. Number two. Number two,
• 49:40
  Speaker 15: never trust caller ID now we've always been you know
• 49:45
  Speaker 15: the problem with our with Americas is that that the
• 49:49
  Speaker 15: the age group of the people getting scammed grew up
• 49:52
  Speaker 15: in the fifties and sixties, where we trusted everyone. We
• 49:55
  Speaker 15: didn't lock our cars, we didn't lock our houses, and
• 49:58
  Speaker 15: we assume that everybody is on the up and up.
• 50:01
  Speaker 15: But UH, never trust the collaradise. Scammers can spoof your
• 50:06
  Speaker 15: the bank's phone numbers, the government agencies, even your pastor
• 50:11
  Speaker 15: at church. Are your family members number three? Lock down
• 50:16
  Speaker 15: your accounts. UH, make it hard for anybody to get
• 50:20
  Speaker 15: in on a password. Use strong and unique passwords. Never
• 50:25
  Speaker 15: ever use your grandson's name and and his data birth
• 50:31

• 51:42
  Speaker 15: about once a week and I end up finding it.

  Speaker 15: But in the meantime, I can go on my phone
• 51:48
  Speaker 15: and lock my card.
• 51:50
  Speaker 8: Yeah, just in case it isn't lost.
• 51:52

  Speaker 15: When I'm getting ready to use it, I just go
• 51:58
  Speaker 15: in and unlock it, and then when I'm finished with it,
• 52:01
  Speaker 15: I lock it again.
