- 0:01Speaker 1: Client i'm more mega now make america great again than
- 0:06Speaker 1: i've ever been making mornings great again first thing today
- 0:10Speaker 1: on the talk media network by joe thomas.
- 0:13Speaker 2: So Oh, the blessings of a Tedstee rain down upon you.
- 0:37Speaker 2: A day where we set aside more so than we
- 0:40Speaker 2: normally do. But I think as a rule, we generally
- 0:43Speaker 2: roll off this idea that God has endowed you with
- 0:47Speaker 2: many gifts and talents. And knowing what those are is
- 0:50Speaker 2: the secret to happiness and immunity from the haters. We've
- 0:55Speaker 2: described our social media addicted world. as trying to have
- 1:00Speaker 2: a private conversation with your closest friends in the middle
- 1:03Speaker 2: of the world's busiest high school cafeteria with all the
- 1:07Speaker 2: same issues that a high school cafeteria has, including the bullies,
- 1:11Speaker 2: the nerds, and the general problematic folks who are going
- 1:16Speaker 2: to try to interrupt your conversations. You can feel confident
- 1:22Speaker 2: through that if you get your Tedness right. that is
- 1:27Speaker 2: the things that God has put you here to do,
- 1:30Speaker 2: once you're expert at them, that's the secret of growing,
- 1:34Speaker 2: then you apply those with great zeal and passion to
- 1:38Speaker 2: a community that rewards you justly. And, you know, sure,
- 1:43Speaker 2: there are bumps along the line. I've got three or
- 1:46Speaker 2: four chapters for my forthcoming unauthorized autobiography that are going
- 1:50Speaker 2: to be about that, including the numbers 811. But We
- 1:57Speaker 2: will save that because we're here to serve you on
- 2:01Speaker 2: this Ted's Day morning. So much to get into the intrigue.
- 2:05Speaker 2: President Trump continues to roll like a bull in a
- 2:11Speaker 2: china shop through all the sanctified and sorted ways that
- 2:19Speaker 2: things are done, driving everyone insane. More of it yesterday.
- 2:23Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, yesterday was probably one of
- 2:26Speaker 2: the busiest days of Trump derangement syndrome impacting the American
- 2:32Speaker 2: left and the global left, for that matter, as well.
- 2:35Speaker 2: We'll chronicle it all for you, including You Don't Know
- 2:39Speaker 2: Jack Smith. And believe me, Jack Smith out there defending
- 2:44Speaker 2: persecution of American citizens if they dare to want to
- 2:49Speaker 2: serve and perhaps gain a position that they haven't been
- 2:55Speaker 2: anointed to yet. They hadn't passed through muster, so it's
- 3:00Speaker 2: on guys like Jack Smith to vet you. But our
- 3:06Speaker 2: first things this morning begin with the U.S. Supreme Court
- 3:12Speaker 2: allowing President Trump's administration to continue deporting people to countries
- 3:16Speaker 2: other than their own for now while they consider whether
- 3:20Speaker 2: the policy is thoroughly legal or not. The 6-3 order
- 3:25Speaker 2: halts an appeals court ruling staying those deportations. Meanwhile, the
- 3:30Speaker 2: administration's IRS agents are working on a citizenship and work
- 3:37Speaker 2: authorization question for next year's tax returns, while separately proposing
- 3:44Speaker 2: rules that would restrict access to the full value of
- 3:47Speaker 2: several tax credits for Migrants who are legally allowed to
- 3:52Speaker 2: live and work in the United States. Draft form from
- 3:55Speaker 2: the IRS asks filers to check yes or no to
- 3:59Speaker 2: this question. At the time you file your return, are
- 4:03Speaker 2: you and your spouse, if filing jointly, a U.S. citizen,
- 4:07Speaker 2: a U.S. national, or alien lawfully authorized to work in
- 4:12Speaker 2: the U.S.? President Trump had a technology day at the
- 4:17Speaker 2: White House unveiling America.gov, an artificial intelligence-powered portal designed to
- 4:23Speaker 2: give Americans a single entry point for navigating the federal
- 4:27Speaker 2: government information and services, declaring that the technology could fundamentally
- 4:32Speaker 2: change the way citizens interact with the federal government. Special
- 4:38Speaker 2: Counsel Jack Smith forcefully defended his persecutions of President Trump
- 4:43Speaker 2: and his investigative tactics, pushing back against repeated Republican efforts
- 4:48Speaker 2: to paint him and his team as partisan political operators.
- 4:52Speaker 2: Democrats rallied to Smith's defense, eliciting testimony about legal and
- 4:57Speaker 2: factual bases for criminal cases against the then-candidate. President Trump
- 5:04Speaker 2: released a document Tuesday that his administration cast as an
- 5:07Speaker 2: accord on artificial intelligence, which he said earlier was signed
- 5:12Speaker 2: by him and high-tech executives in a meeting in the
- 5:15Speaker 2: Oval Office. He said the document is morally binding and
- 5:23Speaker 2: urged four layers of controls in companies and asked companies
- 5:26Speaker 2: to partner with external auditors to carry out independent assessments.
- 5:32Speaker 2: on whether a company's AI control and monitoring systems were
- 5:36Speaker 2: operating as intended. The Associated Press is reporting that the
- 5:41Speaker 2: Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the militia attached to the mullahs
- 5:47Speaker 2: in Iran, is now trying to influence U.S. elections, publishing
- 5:52Speaker 2: a letter that, well, the Associated Press decided to publish, saying,
- 5:56Speaker 2: you are the ones to empower with your votes who
- 5:59Speaker 2: make decisions in your name. Our friends at JCS Gold
- 6:04Speaker 2: want to help you make decisions on gold and silver.
- 6:07Speaker 2: They keep a great website full of information, but they
- 6:10Speaker 2: want you to call them as well at 434-979-COIN. It's
- 6:17Speaker 2: 2646 after 10 Eastern. I can tell you right now,
- 6:20Speaker 2: because I'm looking at jcsgold.com, that gold is at $ 41.
- 6:24Speaker 3: 8913.
- 6:24Speaker 2: That's up $ 7. 00. Since yesterday, silver is down about 43 cents, $ 61. 03.

- 6:37Speaker 2: can go see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra where you live. If

- 7:01Speaker 4: For veterans concerned about their alcohol or drug use, seeking
- 7:05Speaker 4: help can be the first step toward recovery.
- 7:08Speaker 2: Dr.
- 7:08Speaker 4: Joseph Liberto, National Mental Health Director for Substance Use Disorders
- 7:12Speaker 4: with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, has more.
- 7:16Speaker 5: May is Mental Health Month, and VA is committed to
- 7:19Speaker 5: letting every veteran know that help is available. Substance use
- 7:23Speaker 5: disorder can harm your physical and mental health, but it
- 7:26Speaker 5: can be treated. There are thousands of veterans in recovery.
- 7:30Speaker 4: VA's Today I Am campaign highlights real stories from veterans
- 7:35Speaker 4: describing how treatment, support, and resources help them improve their
- 7:39Speaker 4: mental health and their lives.
- 7:41Speaker 5: VA has programs to treat substance use disorder at facilities
- 7:46Speaker 5: throughout the country. We also offer telehealth services. A better,

- 8:03Speaker 6: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 6: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 6: I'm Dr.
- 8:13Speaker 7: Mitch.
- 8:14Speaker 6: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
- 8:20Speaker 6: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 8:24Speaker 6: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 8:28Speaker 6: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 8:32Speaker 6: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
- 8:39Speaker 6: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
- 8:43Speaker 6: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
- 8:47Speaker 6: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
- 8:52Speaker 6: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
- 8:57Speaker 6: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
- 9:02Speaker 8: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
- 9:05Speaker 8: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
- 9:10Speaker 8: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
- 9:13Speaker 8: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
- 9:16Speaker 8: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
- 9:21Speaker 8: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
- 9:25Speaker 8: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
- 9:29Speaker 8: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
- 9:33Speaker 8: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
- 9:37Speaker 8: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
- 9:42Speaker 8: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
- 9:46Speaker 8: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General at oig.ssa.gov
- 9:53Speaker 8: Share this information with your friends and family.
- 9:58Speaker 9: Hi, everybody.
- 9:59Speaker 4: I'm Jack Hanna.
- 10:00Speaker 10: Since I was a boy growing up on a farm
- 10:01Speaker 10: in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only
- 10:05Speaker 10: in awe of their beauty and kindness, but also their
- 10:07Speaker 10: tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds who gather
- 10:09Speaker 10: supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes who work hard
- 10:13Speaker 10: to provide for their young. Or penguins, who travel up
- 10:15Speaker 10: to 500 miles to secure food for their families. Or
- 10:18Speaker 10: bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them to navigate the
- 10:21Speaker 10: trees and the wild in search of fruit. This remarkable
- 10:24Speaker 10: work ethic is shared by our best friends, the canines.
- 10:27Speaker 10: We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home, but
- 10:30Speaker 10: because of their acute senses, they also perform lifesaving work
- 10:33Speaker 10: every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort
- 10:36Speaker 10: returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They work
- 10:39Speaker 10: with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in their
- 10:42Speaker 10: blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly trained
- 10:45Speaker 10: roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
- 10:47Speaker 10: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
- 10:50Speaker 10: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
- 10:53Speaker 10: planet we inhabit together. Go to americanhumane.org to learn more.
- 10:59Speaker 11: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
- 11:01Speaker 12: Oh, yeah?
- 11:01Speaker 11: Yeah, he's starting with the woots. And now a speech.
- 11:06Speaker 13: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 11:10Speaker 2: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 11: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
- 11:15Speaker 11: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
- 11:18Speaker 11: call me a ride. Love that guy.
- 11:20Speaker 13: Me too.
- 11:21Speaker 14: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 11:23Speaker 14: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 11:28Speaker 7: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 11:31Speaker 7: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 11:35Speaker 7: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
- 11:39Speaker 7: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 11:42Speaker 7: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
- 11:46Speaker 7: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
- 11:51Speaker 7: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
- 11:54Speaker 7: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
- 11:58Speaker 7: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 12:00Speaker 7: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
- 12:04Speaker 7: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 12:07Speaker 7: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 12:11Speaker 7: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
- 12:14Speaker 7: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
- 12:18Speaker 7: money by reducing your energy waste, check out ftc.gov slash green.
- 12:24Speaker 7: A tip from the Federal Trade Commission. the nation's consumer
- 12:27Speaker 7: protection agency.
- 12:29Speaker 15: As a family member or friend, you may be the
- 12:32Speaker 15: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
- 12:35Speaker 15: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
- 12:40Speaker 15: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
- 12:43Speaker 16: But help is available.
- 12:46Speaker 15: Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories at maketheconnection.net and learn
- 12:51Speaker 15: how you can support the veterans in your life. Treatment works.
- 12:56Speaker 15: Recovery is possible.
- 13:01Speaker 1: Thomas on the Talk Media Network. First thing today by
- 13:13Speaker 1: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 13:16Speaker 2: On this tense day morning, cue one of my favorite senators, Louisiana.
- 13:21Speaker 17: You're about to prosecute. A former president of the United States,
- 13:25Speaker 17: first time in history. Not only that, you're about to
- 13:31Speaker 17: prosecute a former president of the United States who's also
- 13:36Speaker 17: the current opponent of Judge Garland's boss. And you told
- 13:43Speaker 17: Judge Garland, here's what I'm about to do. And you
- 13:49Speaker 17: don't think he checked with President Biden?
- 13:53Speaker 18: To see if it was okay?
- 13:55Speaker 16: I have no idea what he did.
- 13:57Speaker 19: My job as a prosecutor on the special counsel regulations
- 14:01Speaker 19: was to make an independent decision. And Attorney General Garland
- 14:05Speaker 19: could have countermanded that decision. But I made that decision
- 14:09Speaker 19: on my own, consulting with my staff and reviewing the
- 14:13Speaker 19: incredibly strong evidence that we had accumulated.
- 14:15Speaker 17: In fact, President Biden and or his White House staff
- 14:21Speaker 17: Told General Garland to prosecute the president, didn't they?
- 14:26Speaker 16: Again, I have no idea about that. What my job was.
- 14:29Speaker 18: Don't know anything about that. Do you believe in the
- 14:31Speaker 18: tooth fairy?
- 14:35Speaker 16: I do not.
- 14:36Speaker 18: How about the Easter bunny?
- 14:40Speaker 16: I no longer believe in the Easter bunny.
- 14:43Speaker 2: So at least we know that about Jack Smith, that
- 14:45Speaker 2: at one point in his life, he believed- in the
- 14:47Speaker 2: Easter Bunny. Now, you know, the question should have followed,
- 14:51Speaker 2: and at what point did you stop believing in the
- 14:53Speaker 2: Easter Bunny? Was it before or after you were hired
- 14:56Speaker 2: as a special prosecutor?
- 14:58Speaker 18: Do you think Jimmy Hoffa died of natural causes?
- 15:02Speaker 20: I do not.
- 15:03Speaker 2: Of course, we have the opportunity now that the Teamsters
- 15:06Speaker 2: have been kicked out by the truckers to find his body,
- 15:09Speaker 2: because I'm sure it's spinning at about 700 RPM.
- 15:11Speaker 3: Now, you.
- 15:16Speaker 18: You sought the phone records of a bunch of U.S. senators, right?
- 15:25Speaker 16: We sought the toll records, non-content records.
- 15:28Speaker 18: Any Democrats or just Republicans?
- 15:33Speaker 19: If President Trump had reached out to Democrats... I'm just trying.
- 15:37Speaker 17: To get the facts. Were there any Democrats who sought
- 15:39Speaker 17: their phone records? Just Republicans, right?
- 15:43Speaker 19: The toll records that we sought were relevant to the investigation,
- 15:48Speaker 19: and they were Republicans.
- 15:49Speaker 18: I'm asking you. You're stalling me again, Counselor. You know that.
- 15:54Speaker 18: You saw just the records of the Republicans.
- 15:57Speaker 17: And you knew that violated the speech and debate cause.
- 16:01Speaker 18: Didn't you?
- 16:03Speaker 16: That is incorrect. We sought to comply with that.
- 16:06Speaker 18: Did you take con law?
- 16:09Speaker 16: I'm sorry, Senator.
- 16:10Speaker 18: Were you in the quad playing Frisbee during.
- 16:14Speaker 18: Con Law at Harvard Law School.
- 16:18Speaker 2: I'm sorry. There's so much about Senator Kennedy to like,
- 16:24Speaker 2: because he's asking him directly, and the most pointed part
- 16:30Speaker 2: of the inquiries are how you're surveilled. This is about
- 16:38Speaker 2: the reality of not just a president of the United States,
- 16:41Speaker 2: but that If this is possible to the President of
- 16:48Speaker 2: the United States, what makes it unbelievable that the same
- 16:52Speaker 2: thing could happen to you or me? Toll records. So
- 17:00Speaker 2: understand what he means by saying toll records. He is
- 17:04Speaker 2: saying that he went into your phones and found out
- 17:08Speaker 2: who you were calling. His defense is, well, I didn't.
- 17:14Speaker 2: listen to who you were talking to. Again, Senator Kennedy's
- 17:21Speaker 2: follow-up should have been, okay, so what did you do
- 17:24Speaker 2: with the toll records once you got them? Because generally
- 17:28Speaker 2: what a prosecutor does is he gets toll records and
- 17:32Speaker 2: then turns that into a warrant because you have clicked,
- 17:39Speaker 2: I agree, on a smartphone app, and I file this
- 17:44Speaker 2: in a folder I like to call informed consent. I
- 17:49Speaker 2: know our friends at the High Wire, Del Bigtree et al.,
- 17:53Speaker 2: have their informed consent action network regarding whether or not
- 18:00Speaker 2: medical procedures are being explained thoroughly to those who are
- 18:04Speaker 2: having them conducted on them. But in this case, digitally...
- 18:10Speaker 2: since the president was talking with AI people, digitally, because
- 18:15Speaker 2: you click I Accept in order to use anything. I mean,
- 18:26Speaker 2: it's not, oh, I want to play Marjong on my phone,
- 18:31Speaker 2: and I don't have to, but I do. So I
- 18:34Speaker 2: click I Accept, and the Marjong software app developer says
- 18:40Speaker 2: in the user agreement that they can share your data
- 18:45Speaker 2: with third parties.
- 18:47Speaker 1: Oh, no, no, no.
- 18:48Speaker 2: That would be easy. Then you just say, well, don't
- 18:50Speaker 2: do that. But anything, Gmail, in some cases, actually accessing
- 19:00Speaker 2: the phone service. You have an app that helps you
- 19:04Speaker 2: access your cell phone account, maybe to pay it. Google Maps, perhaps,
- 19:15Speaker 2: or Apple Maps. Anything that has an application like that
- 19:22Speaker 2: has a.
- 19:24Speaker 2: Somewhere way down, if it was printed out as a document,
- 19:29Speaker 2: it would probably be 80 or 90 pages long. Somewhere
- 19:32Speaker 2: around page 75 is a codicil that says, I.
- 19:38Speaker 2: Authorize the developer of this software to share my information
- 19:43Speaker 2: from this phone with certain third parties that they can determine.
- 19:49Speaker 2: Words to that effect. They get to decide. You have
- 19:51Speaker 2: no say over what third parties get to see your information.
- 19:56Speaker 2: Just third parties at the discretion of the app designer,
- 20:00Speaker 2: the programmer, that kind of thing. So that's what you
- 20:07Speaker 2: don't know Jack Smith was talking about, getting that data
- 20:11Speaker 2: off your phone, whether it's through your Marjong app or not.
- 20:15Speaker 2: One of your apps will give him your phone info.
- 20:19Speaker 2: And then from that, he goes into court and says, yeah,
- 20:22Speaker 2: we have a record here that Joe Thomas spoke to
- 20:26Speaker 2: Joel in Arizona, and we want to know about that call.
- 20:30Speaker 2: So I need a warrant to go into the phone
- 20:34Speaker 2: records of Joel in Arizona and Joe Thomas in the morning.
- 20:41Speaker 2: That's how that all rolls out. And there are laws
- 20:46Speaker 2: prohibiting that, and that's what Senator Kennedy is asking Jack
- 20:50Speaker 2: Smith if he was playing Frisbee during that part of
- 20:54Speaker 2: his legal education. And he writes in, UVA law, done
- 21:00Speaker 2: is proud. I thought Smith went to Harvard Law, but
- 21:05Speaker 2: maybe there's... I.
- 21:07Speaker 16: Did take constitutional law, yes.
- 21:09Speaker 18: Well, then you had to know it violated the speech
- 21:11Speaker 18: and debate clause.
- 21:12Speaker 17: In fact, when you went to Judge Boasberg, you didn't
- 21:18Speaker 17: even tell him you were seeking the phone records of
- 21:21Speaker 17: members of Congress, did you?
- 21:23Speaker 18: Because you knew he wouldn't agree.
- 21:26Speaker 17: He would say, hey, counselor, anybody who knows a law
- 21:30Speaker 17: book from a J.Crew catalog.
- 21:32Speaker 18: Knows that this violates the Constitution.
- 21:36Speaker 16: It's just.
- 21:39Speaker 2: I think there are more people in that room who
- 21:41Speaker 2: know what a J.Crew catalog looks like over the U.S. Constitution.
- 21:47Speaker 2: But bless the hearings. Oh, there's so much of this.
- 21:50Speaker 2: And a lot of senators saying, in fact, Counsel Smith,
- 21:55Speaker 2: aren't you wonderful? You're an incredible dancer and very thorough
- 22:00Speaker 2: in your work, aren't you?
- 22:02Speaker 6: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
- 22:07Speaker 6: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
- 22:12Speaker 6: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
- 22:17Speaker 6: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
- 22:21Speaker 6: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
- 22:27Speaker 6: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 22:31Speaker 6: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
- 22:34Speaker 6: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
- 22:38Speaker 6: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
- 22:41Speaker 6: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,
- 22:46Speaker 6: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

- 24:03Speaker 6: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 24:07Speaker 6: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 24:12Speaker 6: I'm Dr.
- 24:13Speaker 17: Mitch.
- 24:14Speaker 6: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
- 24:19Speaker 6: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 24:23Speaker 6: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 24:28Speaker 6: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 24:32Speaker 6: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation has antioxidant
- 24:37Speaker 6: properties and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or
- 24:43Speaker 6: at least slow the spread of cancer and in many
- 24:45Speaker 6: instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells
- 24:51Speaker 6: even from radiation. TotalWellness.com where we help you to look good,

- 25:53Speaker 11: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
- 25:56Speaker 21: Oh yeah?
- 25:57Speaker 11: Yeah, he's starting with the woots. And now a speech.
- 26:02Speaker 13: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 26:05Speaker 18: Heart and brain.
- 26:07Speaker 2: Who's with me?
- 26:08Speaker 11: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
- 26:11Speaker 11: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
- 26:13Speaker 11: call me a ride. Love that guy.
- 26:16Speaker 16: Me too.
- 26:16Speaker 14: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 26:19Speaker 14: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 26:23Speaker 7: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 26:25Speaker 7: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 26:29Speaker 7: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills too.
- 26:34Speaker 7: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 26:36Speaker 7: energy assessment. Your utility company can help. Or you can
- 26:40Speaker 7: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
- 26:46Speaker 7: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
- 26:49Speaker 7: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
- 26:53Speaker 7: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 26:55Speaker 7: new appliance. Look for the ENERGY STAR logo and read
- 26:58Speaker 7: the ENERGY GUIDE label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 27:02Speaker 7: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 27:05Speaker 7: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
- 27:09Speaker 7: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

- 28:11Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 28:15Speaker 24: Don't you dare, don't you tread on me.
- 28:32Speaker 2: Don't On this Ted's D, I want to spend two
- 28:38Speaker 2: seconds here because, again, there has been so much media
- 28:42Speaker 2: time spent on the weaponization of government on misrepresentation of
- 28:49Speaker 2: the settlement. Designed intentionally to make it look like Donald
- 28:57Speaker 2: Trump just grabbed money from the federal budget and set
- 29:00Speaker 2: it aside to get to his friends. Tell me I'm wrong.
- 29:05Speaker 2: Tell me that that is not how the weaponization of
- 29:09Speaker 2: government settlement monies weren't depicted on most news outlets. President
- 29:15Speaker 2: Trump took money from the federal government meant for poor
- 29:20Speaker 2: starving children in Head Start and set up a fund
- 29:24Speaker 2: for his cronies. When in reality, the weaponization of government
- 29:30Speaker 2: fund was a settlement reached after the Internal Revenue Service
- 29:38Speaker 2: couldn't defend its actions any further regarding the release of
- 29:43Speaker 2: a U.S. citizen's private tax return records to the news media.
- 29:51Speaker 2: Would you like your tax returns released to the news media?
- 29:57Speaker 2: I don't feel like I have anything to hide. But
- 30:00Speaker 2: then again, read Harvey Silverglate's wonderful book, Three Felonies a Day,
- 30:06Speaker 2: and you tell me most of those felonies are in
- 30:11Speaker 2: the tax code. So President Trump's tax returns were released
- 30:16Speaker 2: to the press by the IRS illegally, and their settlement
- 30:21Speaker 2: with the president was to set aside $ 1, 776, 000. I think
- 30:29Speaker 2: it was $ 1. 776 million or billion. Not looking at the settlement,
- 30:41Speaker 2: but set it aside for anyone, anyone, Greenpeace member, Southern
- 30:48Speaker 2: Poverty Law Center attorney, talk radio show host, MTV VJ.
- 30:56Speaker 2: that feels like the government has targeted them, like Jack
- 31:01Speaker 2: Smith's testimony, admits. And that's the joy of Jack Kennedy's
- 31:08Speaker 2: interview with him, is that nowhere does You Don't Know
- 31:12Speaker 2: Jack Smith deny the fact that he is taking phone
- 31:16Speaker 2: records of people that he has no warrant to take
- 31:19Speaker 2: phone records from. That's the part you shouldn't be lost
- 31:26Speaker 2: on you. Because if they can do this and if
- 31:31Speaker 2: they will do this to Donald Trump running for president,
- 31:37Speaker 2: what do you think they'll stop at regarding doing the
- 31:41Speaker 2: same thing to you? And I know your thought is, oh,
- 31:45Speaker 2: I would never be so foolhardy. as to do something
- 31:48Speaker 2: like run for president without permission of the Republican or
- 31:52Speaker 2: Democratic Party, which was Donald Trump's real crime, which was
- 31:58Speaker 2: run and win in an election he wasn't invited to.
- 32:05Speaker 2: He hadn't passed muster yet. And Jack Smith and all
- 32:11Speaker 2: of the king's horses and all the king's men were
- 32:13Speaker 2: meant to punish him for such temerity. So don't you
- 32:18Speaker 2: think about it because we can do the same thing
- 32:21Speaker 2: to you. And you, you, Mr. Radio listener, you don't
- 32:25Speaker 2: have the resources that Donald Trump has to hire lawyers
- 32:28Speaker 2: and investigators and fixers like Michael Cohen. Just wanted for
- 32:34Speaker 2: clarity because that's what this is all about. This is
- 32:37Speaker 2: exactly what that fund was set aside for. Kareem is
- 32:42Speaker 2: hanging on the line with us this Ted's D morning.
- 32:45Speaker 2: Good morning, Kareem. What's going on? Thank you for calling
- 32:47Speaker 2: us first thing this morning.
- 32:50Speaker 3: Good morning, Joe.
- 32:50Speaker 12: I don't know anybody in the nation I've called quicker
- 32:53Speaker 12: than I would you the first thing in the morning.
- 32:55Speaker 12: So far, so good. Tell you what, I applaud Senator
- 32:59Speaker 12: Kennedy for taking time to get off the front porch
- 33:02Speaker 12: where he's hanging out with his condo to put a
- 33:04Speaker 12: jacket on and go to Washington, D.C. and ask these questions.
- 33:07Speaker 2: Well, you know, he would be much rather drink in
- 33:10Speaker 2: the clear. or brew in the clear than he would be,
- 33:14Speaker 2: you know, sitting there in Washington. But, yeah, you're right.
- 33:17Speaker 2: That is quite a sacrifice because Louisiana is lovely this
- 33:21Speaker 2: time of year.
- 33:22Speaker 12: And, honestly, Jackson instructions more as a hacky sack guy
- 33:26Speaker 12: than a Frisbee person.
- 33:27Speaker 9: But I digress.
- 33:30Speaker 2: Anyway, go ahead, Kareem.
- 33:34Speaker 12: Looking at weaponization. Now, that's just looking at Jack Smith
- 33:38Speaker 12: or even the IRS because Lois Lerner, I still remember that.
- 33:42Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
- 33:43Speaker 12: Sitting in front of that. That opening statement from then on,
- 33:46Speaker 12: it was like Anthony Fauci, fifth all the way. But weaponization,
- 33:51Speaker 12: we can look at January 6th. People that have nothing.
- 33:56Speaker 12: Absolutely no one defending them. No one wants to help
- 33:59Speaker 12: them except for a few.
- 34:01Speaker 9: Yep.
- 34:02Speaker 12: Their communications between them and the lawyer were recorded, and
- 34:08Speaker 12: then when the FBI was finally– you have right to
- 34:12Speaker 12: discovery in the state, but at federal, it's whatever they
- 34:15Speaker 12: think is exculpatory. So it's whatever they want to turn
- 34:18Speaker 12: over to you. Fortunately, there were some leaks. There were
- 34:22Speaker 12: some– and it wasn't an important one.
- 34:24Speaker 3: Excuse me.
- 34:25Speaker 12: It was an important one, but it wasn't a– it
- 34:26Speaker 12: was a subtle one.
- 34:29Speaker 2: And if you knew what you were looking for, then
- 34:30Speaker 2: you could spot it.
- 34:32Speaker 12: And we had judges go along and protect the FBI
- 34:36Speaker 12: while they were on the stand over the objections of
- 34:38Speaker 12: the lawyers. So this weaponization fund, it's $ 1776 billion, but yes,
- 34:41Speaker 12: it's $ 1.
- 34:42Speaker 17: 776 billion.
- 34:42Speaker 2: That's not enough. Well, and this is the thing. It
- 34:48Speaker 2: was a nonpartisan setup, too. This is I mean, if
- 34:51Speaker 2: if some member of Greenpeace felt targeted by the government,
- 34:56Speaker 2: they could file under it. There was nothing in the
- 34:59Speaker 2: weaponization of government fund that said this was money for
- 35:03Speaker 2: Donald Trump's supporters, sycophants or any of the other derisive
- 35:09Speaker 2: things that were said about it. This was anyone who
- 35:12Speaker 2: felt like the government came after them unjustly. could tap
- 35:17Speaker 2: into this.
- 35:20Speaker 12: There were some independent voices that did say some things
- 35:26Speaker 12: that were showing that that fund could have been used poorly.
- 35:31Speaker 12: I'm applauding it because it opened the door for something else.
- 35:35Speaker 12: Qualified immunity. Again, this has given the government more power
- 35:41Speaker 12: than they should have. And it's a club. It's seriously,
- 35:46Speaker 12: just like George Carlin, you play his clips.
- 35:48Speaker 2: It's a club.
- 35:49Speaker 1: You're not, you're in it.
- 35:50Speaker 12: It's the qualified immunity. And the best way to go
- 35:52Speaker 12: through that is if the government's handing out money, then
- 35:55Speaker 12: maybe there's some court cases, just like the Supreme court's
- 35:57Speaker 12: taken up court cases of things that are supposedly already settled. Bruin.
- 36:02Speaker 12: Bruin was a monumental landmark decision. And now they're, well,
- 36:06Speaker 12: we'll take it up again because we didn't clarify it
- 36:07Speaker 12: the last time.
- 36:09Speaker 2: Because we got in trouble on the street and this is,
- 36:13Speaker 2: The Supreme Court is supposed to be immune from this
- 36:15Speaker 2: sort of populism, yet here we are watching them chase
- 36:20Speaker 2: their tail like so many members of the Senate and
- 36:22Speaker 2: the House.
- 36:25Speaker 12: They only take a handful of cases a year compared
- 36:27Speaker 12: to how many people actually have government-run roughshod. Not talking
- 36:31Speaker 12: about private industries here or mom-and-pop businesses that are having
- 36:35Speaker 12: issues with big corporations here. And they have to continually
- 36:39Speaker 12: fix their previous– their slow rolling. And, Joe, I'll tell
- 36:43Speaker 12: you what. That 1776 fund that was available for anybody,
- 36:47Speaker 12: that should be the case anywhere because, for example, we
- 36:51Speaker 12: look at the vaccine injury board. How many were applied?
- 36:55Speaker 12: But looking at Judge Boasberg, now, was that a FISA warrant?
- 37:00Speaker 12: that he, uh, that, that Jackson has submitted, or was
- 37:03Speaker 12: it a different mechanism?
- 37:05Speaker 2: Uh, Boseberg was a FISA judge. Uh, so I'm, and again,
- 37:09Speaker 2: I'm not looking at the, all the filings because there's
- 37:12Speaker 2: a lawyer out there somewhere with a keyboard who's going
- 37:14Speaker 2: to say something. Um, but, uh, I do believe these
- 37:18Speaker 2: were filed under FISA because that's how the beginnings of
- 37:23Speaker 2: this started. That was how, uh, operation, uh, epic thunder
- 37:29Speaker 2: or whatever it was called, crossfire hurricane, was all set
- 37:33Speaker 2: up was under the idea that Donald Trump was colluding
- 37:37Speaker 2: with Russia. We have this dossier that says Vladimir Putin
- 37:41Speaker 2: had pictures of him, you know, having hookers pee on
- 37:45Speaker 2: a bed that Barack Obama slept in. And nobody stopped
- 37:49Speaker 2: and said, really? But I guess, you know, the zeal to,
- 37:52Speaker 2: you know, fill in the narrative. Kareem, good stuff, my friend.
- 37:55Speaker 2: Drive safely this morning.
- 37:58Speaker 12: Thanks for checking my college show. Have a great day.
- 38:01Speaker 25: At Hot Shot Secret, we share the science behind common
- 38:04Speaker 25: diesel problems and their solutions.
- 38:06Speaker 2: For example, diesel fuel cetane levels.
- 38:08Speaker 25: In many states, the cetane rating in diesel fuel is
- 38:11Speaker 25: 42 to 45. Most diesel engines operate more efficiently with
- 38:15Speaker 25: a cetane rating of 48 to 50. One treatment of
- 38:18Speaker 25: Hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your cetane seven points,
- 38:21Speaker 25: increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts. Due to a
- 38:25Speaker 25: cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons and particulate matter in
- 38:28Speaker 25: your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of your diesel particulate filter.
- 38:32Speaker 25: Using Diesel Extreme generates 83% less DPF regenerations. The 6-in-1
- 38:38Speaker 25: Diesel Extreme formula also includes the most concentrated detergent on
- 38:42Speaker 25: the market. Lubricity enhancer, water demulsifier, rust and corrosion inhibitors,
- 38:47Speaker 25: and a fuel stabilizer.
- 38:49Speaker 1: Hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme is available nationwide at truck stops,
- 38:52Speaker 1: fine farm and auto stores, and online at hotshotsecret.com. Hot

- 40:57Speaker 21: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
- 41:02Speaker 21: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
- 41:08Speaker 21: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
- 41:12Speaker 21: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
- 41:15Speaker 21: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
- 41:21Speaker 21: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
- 41:24Speaker 21: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
- 41:27Speaker 21: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
- 41:32Speaker 21: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
- 41:36Speaker 21: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
- 41:40Speaker 13: Eat better.

- 43:16Speaker 2: I can probably hit the green from here. Probably.
- 43:23Speaker 9: Can I get a mulligan?
- 43:26Speaker 1: Ready to go?
- 43:27Speaker 22: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
- 43:29Speaker 16: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
- 43:35Speaker 20: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
- 43:39Speaker 20: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
- 43:42Speaker 20: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message
- 43:45Speaker 20: brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council.

- 44:12Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 44:19Speaker 2: So, there are leaps of faith and stories that one
- 44:29Speaker 2: tells oneself to make you okay with what you do.
- 44:38Speaker 2: And in the case of the weaponization of government, here is,
- 44:43Speaker 2: because you have to know how these decisions are come to.
- 44:51Speaker 2: All the corruptions start with this, but you're here to
- 44:55Speaker 2: protect the citizens. And if you're not here to protect
- 44:59Speaker 2: the citizens, who will protect the citizens? That tortured logic.
- 45:07Speaker 2: is what is the root of all evil, whether it's Sacramento, California,
- 45:15Speaker 2: or Albany, New York, or Athens, Georgia, or wherever it
- 45:20Speaker 2: may be, Richmond, Virginia, Austin, Texas, it matters little. The
- 45:28Speaker 2: tortured logic is, well, I need to be here to
- 45:32Speaker 2: protect the citizens. Even if you believe that you're only
- 45:36Speaker 2: there to protect their rights, if you're not there, then
- 45:40Speaker 2: you can't do it. So you start making compromises so
- 45:44Speaker 2: that you can stay there. And little by little, you
- 45:49Speaker 2: drift further and further away from the original intent, which
- 45:53Speaker 2: is to defend your citizens' rights. Now, there are those who...
- 46:01Speaker 2: We find them all mostly in one particular political party,
- 46:04Speaker 2: the one with the donkey, that go there in order
- 46:08Speaker 2: to create out of whole cloth rights. Them's is scary
- 46:12Speaker 2: other people. But right now we're talking about how conservative
- 46:17Speaker 2: constitutionalists can be corrupted in such a way as to suborn, permit,
- 46:25Speaker 2: encourage the kind of behavior of you don't know Jack Smith.
- 46:31Speaker 2: And that famous Tim Kaine clip about where rights come from,
- 46:39Speaker 2: it is a selective interpretation of John Locke's theory. So
- 46:48Speaker 2: John Locke, of course, the philosopher, the founder of the Enlightenment,
- 46:53Speaker 2: the man who first hypothesized that all men were created equal,
- 47:10Speaker 2: And within his treaties, he says that if the government
- 47:29Speaker 2: does not protect citizens' rights, it is de facto taking
- 47:37Speaker 2: them away. So therefore, when Tim Kaine said to all
- 47:55Speaker 2: amazement that we were no better than Iran if we
- 48:03Speaker 2: believed that the government just, that God gave us our rights,
- 48:08Speaker 2: not the government, it was his selective, he just took
- 48:15Speaker 2: a little piece of John Locke in which he John
- 48:17Speaker 2: Locke is actually saying it is a warning to you
- 48:20Speaker 2: that people will believe this, but don't fall for it.
- 48:24Speaker 2: Locke's point is, sure, people will say, but if the
- 48:28Speaker 2: government chooses not to defend a particular God-given right, then
- 48:33Speaker 2: it's tantamount to have taken it away or to have
- 48:38Speaker 2: not granted it in the first place. So these folks
- 48:47Speaker 2: convince themselves that as the government, they have a responsibility
- 48:53Speaker 2: to take care of you. It's this perversion of the
- 48:58Speaker 2: idea of protecting your rights becomes somehow taking care of you.
- 49:06Speaker 2: And it's always a perversion. It's always an extrapolation. It's
- 49:10Speaker 2: always a, well, maybe we can make it mean this.
- 49:13Speaker 2: It's a stretching of the meanings of welfare. Promote the
- 49:20Speaker 2: general welfare. You've heard that phrase. Do ordain and establish
- 49:29Speaker 2: this constitution. You've heard that before, right? If you're of
- 49:34Speaker 2: a certain age, you even hear music playing in the
- 49:37Speaker 2: background of your memories of that phrase.
- 49:40Speaker 24: Right?
- 49:47Speaker 2: So the idea that you're protecting someone's rights then becomes
- 49:52Speaker 2: I'm protecting someone, which then becomes I need to stay
- 49:56Speaker 2: here so I can keep protecting people. I don't trust
- 50:00Speaker 2: my opponents to protect them the same way I do.
- 50:03Speaker 2: So I need to stay here. And you start to
- 50:06Speaker 2: make your compromises that take you further and further away
- 50:10Speaker 2: from the Constitution to the point where when something like
- 50:14Speaker 2: January 6th happens and this becomes the unanswered question, the
- 50:21Speaker 2: question that you and I have a pretty good feeling
- 50:24Speaker 2: for what the crowd of FBI confidential sources were doing
- 50:32Speaker 2: dressed in brand new Trump regalia. gathered outside the steps
- 50:38Speaker 2: of the U.S. Capitol while everybody else was down there
- 50:42Speaker 2: at the Ellipse listening to the president. There was just
- 50:46Speaker 2: this crowd of people in brand new shiny Trump regalia
- 50:51Speaker 2: that the FBI has admitted were confidential informants. So what
- 51:03Speaker 2: was their job? Was their job to observe, or what's
- 51:08Speaker 2: the expression? If you can't get somebody to sing, get
- 51:11Speaker 2: them to compose. So if people aren't going to cause
- 51:16Speaker 2: a problem, encourage them to cause a problem. Knowing that
- 51:23Speaker 2: the reaction of elected officials, not being the bravest souls
- 51:27Speaker 2: in the first place, was to circle the wagons to
- 51:31Speaker 2: defend government rather than citizens. Keeping in mind that the U.S.
- 51:37Speaker 2: Capitol building, most people, if you polled, and I've never
- 51:41Speaker 2: seen Harris or Zogby or even Rasmussen ask the average American,
- 51:47Speaker 2: if they think that the U.S. Capitol building is open
- 51:51Speaker 2: to the general public, I think most people would presume
- 51:55Speaker 2: that it's our office building. We own the company that
- 51:59Speaker 2: inhabits that office building. Why shouldn't we be able to
- 52:03Speaker 2: go in there? The citadel that it has become is
- 52:07Speaker 2: indicative of a government that is afraid of its citizens.
- 52:14Speaker 2: That's not healthy. I mean, I want them to be
- 52:17Speaker 2: concerned that the citizens might fire them, but to treat
- 52:25Speaker 2: the citizens— and the interesting thing is leftists— will routinely go
- 52:31Speaker 2: out there and go after police officers, especially those who
- 52:35Speaker 2: have served in the military, saying they still view anyone
- 52:38Speaker 2: that's not part of their team as enemy combatant. Well,
- 52:43Speaker 2: politicians view citizens, especially those not from their district, as
- 52:49Speaker 2: enemy combatants.
- 52:51Speaker 26: Crime across the country is at an all-time high. It
- 52:54Speaker 26: feels like even a family road trip is taking a risk.
- 52:57Speaker 26: We don't want the feeling of being unprotected and vulnerable.
