  Speaker 1: Do you support adding four more seats to the Supreme Court, Congressman?
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, I do.
• 0:06
  Speaker 3: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:10
  Speaker 4: Joe works at.
• 0:11
  Speaker 5: A steel mill, he's down here every day.
• 0:15
  Speaker 6: Leads for work when the sun comes up, drops the kids.
• 0:18
  Speaker 7: To school and all the work.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Joe has everything he dreamed of, all the treasures that
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: he needs.
• 0:25
  Speaker 8: No wonder Joe's always smiling, he only aims to please you.
• 0:34
  Speaker 6: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:36
  Speaker 6: this morning. I think it's interesting, if not ironic to
• 0:42
  Speaker 6: a degree, or maybe it's only just the way my
• 0:44
  Speaker 6: mind works, that on the weekend that we saw a
• 0:47
  Speaker 6: movie about the great avatar of cheating to get that
• 0:56
  Speaker 6: which you could not get on your own, the Coyote
• 1:00
  Speaker 6: versus Acme movie, James Clyburn is saying.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, why not?
• 1:05
  Speaker 6: Let's just add four more Supreme Court justices. I mean,
• 1:11
  Speaker 6: it's almost 100 years to the day that Franklin Delano
• 1:17
  Speaker 6: Roosevelt said, yeah, let's just keep adding Supreme Court justices
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: until I get my way. I'm sure that the John
• 1:31
  Speaker 6: Cena Coyote vs. Acme movie is all about how big,
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: greedy corporate America is screwing.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: The little guy.
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: I'm sure it is.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: I'm sure it is.
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: As much as I'm compelled to see it, I know
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: it doesn't tell the tale the way it was originally
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: meant to be told, which was if you can't get
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: what you want yourself, cheat. buy things, buy things that countermand,
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: rather than just coming up with a strategy to catch
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: the roadrunner.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Wile E.
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: Coyote kept buying anvils and dynamite and rocket skates and
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: you name what all else. Just like James Clyburn, who
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: can't get what he wants within the rules, he's gone
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: and called Acme Court Pack Inc., And one can really
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: only hope that it blows up in his face much
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: in the same way that all those Acme products blew
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: up in Wile E.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: Coyote's face.
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: Oh, certainly I'm compelled by the movie, but I have
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: a pretty good feeling.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Although I.
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: Was not even nearly close to as right as I
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: could have been about.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: One battle after another.
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: It was bad, not quite in the way I expected
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: it to be bad, but it was bad. I'm sure
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: Coyote vs. Acme is just as bad, though it opened
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: in second place behind Spider-Man, because real stories just don't
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: sell anymore, apparently. We have plenty to get into this morning,
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: and our first things begin with the United Arab Emirates
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: Air Force intercepting Iranian drones over its own territorial waters Monday,
• 3:30

• 3:36
  Speaker 6: forces struck Iranian rocket launchers along the coast of the
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude is up 2.9% to $ 90.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: 61 a barrel.
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: Still some $ 50 to $ 60 lower than it was, say,
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: three years ago. Rescuers were trying to find trapped workers
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: in at least a dozen hydroelectric plant sites Monday after
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: the catastrophic flooding in Nepal and Tibet killed, at this count,
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: at least 900 people with 4,700, still missing many of
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: them American missionaries. One person died in the United States
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: in a flash flood in the Grand Canyon, Fifteen people
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: are also missing as the Colorado River flooded and knocked
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: out the sole water pipeline that serves tourists and residents

• 4:42
  Speaker 6: in North Carolina for the group of 20 finance ministers' meetings. However,
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: several reporters are with their nose out of joint because
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: they've been denied press credentials. The New York Times is
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: reporting that several of their reporters, including Alan Rappaport, who's
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: covered the meetings for years, have been denied credentials. However,
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: the New York Times bureau chief in Berlin, Jim Tankersley,
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: has been given credentials to cover the meeting. Sunday, Iceland's
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: voters rejected... A restarting of negotiations to join the European Union, 52.8%

  Speaker 3: Why not?

• 7:12
  Speaker 4: You get both.
• 7:14
  Speaker 9: Many families save $ 500 a month with MediShare, and that's huge.
• 7:18
  Speaker 9: It's also true that people wind up way more satisfied, too.

  Speaker 9: We know this from research of members. There's a lot
• 7:24
  Speaker 9: they like about MediShare, but especially they love being part
• 7:28
  Speaker 9: of something they believe in. And MediShare works, too. It
• 7:31

  Speaker 7: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Products on the market.
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: Hi, I'm Dr.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: Mitch.
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer. or at
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances,
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells, even
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,

  Speaker 10: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 10: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 10: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you

  Speaker 10: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:16
  Speaker 10: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 10: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 10: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 10: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your

  Speaker 10: at oig.ssa.gov. Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 11: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 10:01
  Speaker 11: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 11: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 11: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:08
  Speaker 11: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 11: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
• 10:15
  Speaker 11: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
• 10:17
  Speaker 11: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
• 10:21
  Speaker 11: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 10:23
  Speaker 11: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
• 10:26
  Speaker 11: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
• 10:30
  Speaker 11: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving
• 10:33
  Speaker 11: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
• 10:36
  Speaker 11: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
• 10:39
  Speaker 11: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
• 10:42
  Speaker 11: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
• 10:44
  Speaker 11: trained roles that contribute to society.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: And help those in need.
• 10:47
  Speaker 11: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 10:50
  Speaker 11: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 10:53
  Speaker 11: planet we inhabit together. Go to americanhumane.org to learn more.

  Speaker 12: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 13: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 14: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 15: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 12: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
• 11:15
  Speaker 12: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
• 11:18
  Speaker 12: call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 16: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 17: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Boop!

  Speaker 18: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 18: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 18: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:39
  Speaker 18: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 18: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can

  Speaker 18: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:07
  Speaker 18: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it

  Speaker 5: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.

  Speaker 3: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: Media Network by Showtime.
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: If you're on a highway, a roadrunner goes beep beep.
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: Just step aside or.
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: You might end up in a heap heap.
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: Roadrunner, Roadrunner runs on the road all day.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Even the coyote can't make him change his ways.
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: Roadrunner, the coyote's after you.
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: Roadrunner, if he catches.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: You, you're through.
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: Oh, that ain't going to happen. So if you look
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: at the Roadrunner's mop of feathers on the top of
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: his head, you can almost see President Trump's hair combed over.
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: there as he has got them so bent out of shape.
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: They are metaphorically calling Acme, bringing out the greatest hits
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: of a hundred years ago. Kristen Welker, who's found herself
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: on the wrong end of an FCC call, and we'll
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: get into that if we have time, with you and me,
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: but she asked James Clyburn straight up on NBC.
• 14:21
  Speaker 16: Do you support adding four more seats to the Supreme Court, Congressman?
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, I do.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: Yes, I do.
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: Packing the court, and I'm going to connect this with
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: what may seem like an unrelated story, more with Clyburn.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: Yes, I do.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: I think that we are in a position now that
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: calls from some significant actions taken by the Congress.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: And we ought to expand. In 13, there's a pretty
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: good number.
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: As somebody who was born on a Friday, the 13th,
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: I can't disagree with you, Congressman, but your point being, well, wrong.
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: And I know there's no constitutional mandate for how many
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: Supreme Court justices there are.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: And you do.
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: There is a schism in theory as to whether you
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: want these bodies to have an even or an uneven number.
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: And I kind of am in the camp, it's not
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: by a lot, if it's 55-45 maybe, that I'm in
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: the camp of an even number because I like the
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: idea of the tie going to the citizen. So if
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: the Supreme Court can't come up with a decision, yay
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: or nay, it just bounces back. I think that there
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: is something to be said for that. But given the
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: fact that the Supreme Court hears so few things in
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: the course of a year, give it an odd number.
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: Like I said, I'm It's still close to a 50-50 split.
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: I mean, if Northern Virginia comes in the way it
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: usually does, it'll change. But I'm going to tie the
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: Clyburn statements into Barack Obama. Barack Obama, did he or
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: is he about to host a fundraiser.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: On Martha's Vineyard?
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: Remember, he bought this multi-million dollar chateau Martha's Vineyard because
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: nothing says a kid from Chicago like having a multi-million
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: dollar beachfront property on Martha's Vineyard. No, he says it's
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: coming up.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: But he's not raising the money for the Democratic Party.
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: So this is the thing Washington Examiner is making this
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: out that he's raising money for the Democratic Party.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: He is not.
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: He is raising money for his old buddy EZE, Eric Holder,
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: and his National Democratic Redistricting Committee. This is the group
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: that tried and failed all across the country over the
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: last six months to a year to redraw all these districts,
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: and I think was successful in Illinois and California, and
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: that's about it. And if Democrats can't win in Illinois
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: and California, they ain't trying. In Illinois, they don't pack
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: the court, they pack the vote box. You know, just
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: because you're deceased does not mean you're not consuming some
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: agency monies. So you should have a say in how
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: they're allocated, right? So Barack Obama is going to raise
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: a boatload of cash for Eric Holder to continue his
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: campaign to redraw and gerrymander all of these districts in
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: Democrat-led states. And here's why he's pushing for this, because
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: they believe they're going to win a majority in the
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: House and therefore also down-ticket win majorities in a lot
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: of states in that they don't have majorities in. So
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: sure that Republicans are done with Donald Trump that not
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: only will they sweep the midterms, but they're going to
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: sweep a lot of state houses. And then they can
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: call Acme redistricting and have a box full of redistricting
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: delivered from the Acme Corporation so they can catch the roadrunner.
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: Because like Wile E. Coyote, They think themselves to be
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: a super genius when all they do is, when failing
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: at legitimately catching their prey, in this case Donald Trump
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: and American conservatives, they resort to outside influences, to cheat.
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: to buy some TNT, to buy some rockets, to buy
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: a slingshot with a giant anvil on it. All so
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: that they can catch the roadrunner even though they're not
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: really qualified to catch the roadrunner. All right, enough of
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: the beating that metaphor to the death. But I just
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: thought it was ironic as we're retelling the coyote story.
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: Coyote is the victim now. Coyote is just trying to eat.
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: Coyote is the victim. Just like Hamas is the victim. Yeah,
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: I went there. Going to make something of it? There's
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: a phone number.
• 20:35
  Speaker 19: 434-882-4217.
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: I mean, seriously, if we can have on the same
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: college campus that five years ago, anti-Semitic rhetoric from Nazis
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: was a reason for lockdowns and expulsions, we now support
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: anti-Semitic rhetoric and often the same kind of anti-Semitic rhetoric
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: because it's by a marginalized community of terrorists. So, of course,
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: we're going to retell the coyote story. Coyote is just
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: a drawn out depiction of Hamas. I know many of
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: you think he's a beloved character. I've seen the cars
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: with the dents in the door and the coyote silhouette
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: painted on it. And he's the lovable loser. But let's
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: not forget, nobody has ever done this animation. What would
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: happen if the coyote catches the roadrunner? Does Mutual of
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: Omaha have any footage of when an actual coyote catches
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: an actual roadrunner in the wild?
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: It's not pretty. Just saying, kids.

• 23:07
  Speaker 8: intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver better
• 23:12
  Speaker 8: care for pets. From AI-assisted radiographs that speed up diagnoses
• 23:17
  Speaker 8: to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports veterinary teams
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop personalized cancer treatments,
• 23:27
  Speaker 8: predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease, and even streamline
• 23:32
  Speaker 8: record keeping so veterinarians can focus more on patients. But
• 23:37
  Speaker 8: as with any new technology, always keep a human in
• 23:41
  Speaker 8: the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare. AI is
• 23:45
  Speaker 8: a powerful tool. but not a replacement for your veterinarian's expertise, compassion,

  Speaker 7: Considered by most, Optimized Curcumin is one of the few

  Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: I'm Dr.
• 24:13
  Speaker 18: Mitch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer. or at
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances,
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even

  Speaker 10: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls

  Speaker 12: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah?
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 25:59
  Speaker 16: And now a speech.
• 26:02
  Speaker 15: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 26:05
  Speaker 17: Heart and brain.
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: Who's with me?
• 26:08
  Speaker 11: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 26:10
  Speaker 12: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 26:13
  Speaker 12: somebody call me a ride.
• 26:15
  Speaker 16: Love that guy.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Me too.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 26:23
  Speaker 18: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 26:25
  Speaker 18: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 26:29
  Speaker 18: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 18: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:36
  Speaker 18: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 26:40
  Speaker 18: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 26:46
  Speaker 18: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 26:49
  Speaker 18: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 26:53
  Speaker 18: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 26:55
  Speaker 18: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 26:58
  Speaker 18: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 27:02
  Speaker 18: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 27:05
  Speaker 18: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 27:09
  Speaker 18: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 4: Lucky?

  Speaker 22: Caring for my brother is far from easy. But he's

  Speaker 3: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 28:22
  Speaker 17: When the judge look mean, there's devil to pay.
• 28:24
  Speaker 23: Everybody going to jail today.
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: Here comes the judge.
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: So why do they want a court pack? What is
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: the deal with the court packing? If you're joining us
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: in progress, Congressman Clyburn of South Carolina was on with
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: Kristen Welker. on Meet the Press, and she asked him.
• 28:51
  Speaker 19: Four more seats to the Supreme Court, Congressman?
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Yes, I do. I think that we are in a
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: position now that calls for some significant actions taken by
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: the Congress, and we ought to expand. And 13 is
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: a pretty good number. A baker's dozen will be a
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: good number to have on the court, and I would
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: hope we would get people on the court who will
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: follow the constitutional underpinnings of this great nation of ours.
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: The constitutional underpinnings. What does that mean? That's a phrase
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: that jumped off the TV screen at me. And once
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: I stomped on it a couple of times, it stopped
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: scurrying around. He didn't say the Bill of Rights. He
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: didn't say the U.S. Constitution. He said the constitutional underpinnings.
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: He wants four new justices that will join Kagan and
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: Sotomayor and Katanji Brown at interpretive dance.
• 29:58
  Speaker 19: To.
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: decide what we want our Constitution to mean today, to
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: rewrite the rulebook. This is why I mentioned that, like
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: the coyote, when you can't win, cheat. This is what
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: FDR wanted when he wanted to pack the court. Too
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: many judges were voting against things that he wanted to
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: do because, oh gosh, he wasn't given that power in
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: the Constitution. Well, damn it, I'm going to go get
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: me a bunch of Supreme Court justices that will see
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: it my way, not the Constitution way.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: That's just a piece of paper. I'm FDR.
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: I've got half the country thinking I'm a superhero. I
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: can't even get out of this chair. So almost 100
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: years since the first court packing controversy, here we go again.
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: for the same reason. They can't do the things they
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: want to do because, damn it, this Constitution thingy is
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: in their way. So let's get us a bunch of
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: judges that will interpret the constitutional underpinnings. In other words,
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: invent constitutional rights that that don't exist, support the idea
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: of constitutional rights that will require, and understand that John
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: Locke said very clearly, you cannot have a right to
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: something that requires someone else to work for you. You
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: cannot have a right that requires someone else to serve you.
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: And had we had more intestinal fortitude at the founding
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: of our nation. And it's easy for us post-game to criticize.
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: It's like every North Carolina State football fan saying, what
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: the hell? It's easy to criticize after the fact because
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: we're looking at it through hindsight and it is 2020.
• 32:27
  Speaker 11: 2020.
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: To say, well, we were trying to found a nation
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: and not allow Britain to take over again. And we
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: were being hung up by, believe it or not, South Carolina.
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: Congressman Clyburn, your own state. Your own state is the
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: reason we still had slavery for another hundred and change years.
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: I guess that's not true.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: It's about 80.
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: I don't need the ex-checkers to get their abacus out
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: and start playing with their beads. So what have we
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: said in the past? That the beauty of the Bill
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: of Rights is that for all the things that they
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: try to do, and they do, understanding that mankind is
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: predisposed to this kind of authoritarianism, I want my way.
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: It's something that the founders understood as part of human nature.
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: So how do you check that? The Supreme Court has
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: this list. It's a hard list to add new things
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: to sometimes. In the 1920s, it was all too easy
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: to add things to it, but it calmed down again.
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: But you have rights. You have constitutionally protected rights, not
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: constitutionally given rights. Constitutionally protected rights. And what Clyburn is
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: talking about is creating a court that will look and say,
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: I think today we should have the right to housing.
• 34:46
  Speaker 6: We should have the right to medical care. We should
• 34:52
  Speaker 6: have the right to a wage, a subsistence living. Well,
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: that requires then somebody to do something for you. And
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: you can't have a right to that. That's called slavery.
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: And of all the people, I would imagine Congressman Clyburn
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: would be against slavery.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: Oh, hold on.
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: He's from South Carolina. And South Carolina has a long
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: history of defending slavery. Congressman Clyburn is much more interested
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: in reverse slavery now, where anyone who's made anything of themselves,
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: a middle-class person, because this is the march of Marxism.
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: This is Clyburn trying to stay okay with the nouveau
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: socialists of the Zorhan Mamdani party. But they're not all
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: that far from it. They never were. They wanted to
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: go get the guy behind the tree. It's not about you.
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: It's not about me. It's about that shadowy guy behind
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: the tree, right? We'll go get his money, not your money.
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: You work for some middle-class guy who owns a shop? Well,
• 36:19
  Speaker 6: he's a greedy oligarch, isn't he? The guy who founded Meta?
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, no.
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: He's a patriot. Guy who founded Microsoft? No, he's a patriot.
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: The guy who runs a string of computer stores, he's
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: an oligarch. Guy runs a chain of restaurants, oh, he's
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: an oligarch. He's exploiting his people. So what Clyburn is
• 36:45
  Speaker 6: talking about is getting a court that will invent rights
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: rather than just defend them.
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: Right, Senator Kaine?
• 36:56
  Speaker 23: Not from our laws, not from our government. I find
• 37:00
  Speaker 23: that very, very troubling. I'm a devout person. I was
• 37:04
  Speaker 23: a missionary in Honduras. We've got other devout folks in
• 37:07
  Speaker 23: this room, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, American. The notion that rights
• 37:12
  Speaker 23: don't come from laws and don't come from the government,
• 37:16
  Speaker 23: but come from the creator, that's what the Iranian government believes.
• 37:21
  Speaker 6: No, the Iranian government believes that this book tells us
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: what to do with people who don't do what it says.
• 37:31
  Speaker 6: So Clyburn wants a court. Oh, this text message from Sharon. Sharon, see,
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: now you're working overtime there, listening to us in San Antonio,
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: and I appreciate it. She says, go ahead, let's give
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: him four new justices, and President Trump has two years
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: to pick four.
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: That's right. Yeah, go ahead. I'll give you four. I
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: got four names right here.
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: We'll start with Ted Cruz, and yeah.

  Speaker 12: According to a new report from Discovery Education, 92% of
• 38:05
  Speaker 12: students say that engaging lessons make school more fun, and
• 38:08
  Speaker 12: more than 90% of educators said engagement is critical for
• 38:11
  Speaker 12: student achievement. Student engagement is essential for learning, but gaps
• 38:16
  Speaker 12: remain about how to achieve, measure, and sustain students' interest
• 38:19
  Speaker 12: in the classroom. Although 63% of students agreed that students
• 38:24
  Speaker 12: are highly engaged in school, only 45% of teachers and
• 38:27
  Speaker 12: 51% of principals surveyed agreed with the same statement. Educators
• 38:32
  Speaker 12: disagreed on the top indicators of engagement. 72% of teachers
• 38:37
  Speaker 12: said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of student engagement,
• 38:41
  Speaker 12: while 54% of superintendents rate performing well on assessments as
• 38:45
  Speaker 12: a top engagement indicator. Also, two-thirds of students said they
• 38:49
  Speaker 12: believed that AI could help them learn faster, yet fewer
• 38:52
  Speaker 12: than half of teachers report using AI themselves to complete tasks.

  Speaker 17: Bring good home.
• 40:57
  Speaker 14: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 14: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 14: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 14: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 14: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 14: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 14: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 14: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 14: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 14: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.

  Speaker 21: Are you sure we should get matching tattoos on our
• 42:55
  Speaker 21: first date?
• 42:56
  Speaker 20: Sure.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: We'll probably stay together.
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: Probably?
• 42:59
  Speaker 22: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: I can probably swim.
• 43:05
  Speaker 13: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 43:07
  Speaker 6: Okay, don't tell me what to do.
• 43:09
  Speaker 15: Cannonball!
• 43:12
  Speaker 18: Cramp!
• 43:12
  Speaker 13: I have a cramp.
• 43:16
  Speaker 20: I can probably hit the green from here.
• 43:19
  Speaker 6: Probably.
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: Ready to go?
• 43:27
  Speaker 16: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 43:35
  Speaker 13: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 43:39
  Speaker 13: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 43:42
  Speaker 13: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message
• 43:45
  Speaker 13: brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council.

  Speaker 3: On a need-to-know basis, because you need to know. The
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: first thing today.
• 44:23
  Speaker 6: So I find this really interesting, this bipartisan coalition of
• 44:38
  Speaker 6: the damned who are all bent about this deal with
• 44:44
  Speaker 6: Venezuela to restart their oil industry. Delce Rodriguez confirmed yesterday
• 44:55
  Speaker 6: the historic U.S.
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: Deal.
• 44:59
  Speaker 6: 65 billion barrels. It's about a third of their reserves.
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: It gives U.S. companies and I'm sorry.
• 45:17
  Speaker 6: I hate to get like this, but My brethren and
• 45:22
  Speaker 6: sister in this business really have got to stop being
• 45:26
  Speaker 6: so willfully sloppy.
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: So U.S.
• 45:33
  Speaker 6: Companies are going to have access to the oil fields
• 45:36
  Speaker 6: that they haven't had access to since Hugo Chavez ascended
• 45:41
  Speaker 6: to his dictatorial throne. The first thing Hugo Chavez did
• 45:47
  Speaker 6: was nationalize the oil fields and shut them down. Chevron
• 45:55
  Speaker 6: is one of the largest, and they're going to move
• 45:58
  Speaker 6: in as soon as they can figure out how much
• 46:00
  Speaker 6: work needs to be done on these derelict.
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: Oil rigs.
• 46:07
  Speaker 6: What was the name of his book? Was it just
• 46:09
  Speaker 6: Hugo on Hugo Day? The first thing Barack Obama did,
• 46:15
  Speaker 6: and this has always bugged me about the General Flynn situation.
• 46:21
  Speaker 6: The first thing Barack Obama did, got elected. The sweeping
• 46:28
  Speaker 6: up of the fields in Denver, the baseball stadium hadn't
• 46:33
  Speaker 6: even finished, and he was on the plane to Venezuela
• 46:36
  Speaker 6: to play grab ass with Hugo Chavez and exchange autographed
• 46:42
  Speaker 6: copies of of their biographies, autobiographies, I presume. And I
• 46:52
  Speaker 6: said at the time, gee, do you think you have
• 46:54
  Speaker 6: an idea of what Barack Obama's presidency.
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: Is going to be like? Nobody listened. Nobody listened.
• 47:09
  Speaker 6: Plus, in and amongst this is Venezuela, Delcy Rodriguez announcing
• 47:14
  Speaker 6: that they're considering, which is usually a good sign for
• 47:18
  Speaker 6: they're well on their way to, leaving OPEC, the Organization
• 47:24
  Speaker 6: of Petroleum Exporting Countries, which is a price-fixing organization that
• 47:32
  Speaker 6: sets what the price of oil is on the global market.
• 47:40
  Speaker 6: which means Venezuela wants to sell its oil to the
• 47:43
  Speaker 6: United States, period, because nobody else will buy it if
• 47:46
  Speaker 6: it's not traffic through OPEC. Price fixing is classic stuff
• 47:55
  Speaker 6: that happens. But it's the Tucker Carlson's and the Candace
• 48:03
  Speaker 6: Owens's on the right, and of course everyone from Hassan
• 48:10
  Speaker 6: Piker on up on the left are all freaking out
• 48:14
  Speaker 6: about this.
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: Whether it be a power grab.
• 48:21
  Speaker 6: Unconstitutional and it all is to me driven by the
• 48:27
  Speaker 6: fact that Snuffy knows they're going to die this is
• 48:33
  Speaker 6: the fight or flight of the blogger class that is
• 48:40
  Speaker 6: afraid that their relevancy is about to go out the
• 48:44
  Speaker 6: back door. Because the amazing thing is they talk about
• 48:57
  Speaker 6: international trade deals and things like this all the time.
• 49:00
  Speaker 6: And remember, Joe Biden, and we were told in 2020,
• 49:04
  Speaker 6: Joe Biden was the guy who understood The world and
• 49:08
  Speaker 6: the world understood Joe Biden. We come to find out
• 49:11
  Speaker 6: that through, you know, Burisma Holdings and all, the world
• 49:14
  Speaker 6: understood Hunter Biden and a little graceful. the big guy.
• 49:21
  Speaker 6: That's how Joe Biden knew the world economy. And so
• 49:32
  Speaker 6: here comes Donald Trump making these deals in the Middle East.
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: And with Venezuela.
• 49:43
  Speaker 6: And through it all, who.
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: Again does this isolate?
• 49:50
  Speaker 15: China.
• 49:54
  Speaker 6: China doesn't like having to deal with Russia for energy,
• 50:01
  Speaker 6: but step by step, drop by drop, President Trump is
• 50:07
  Speaker 6: isolating Russia China, economically, environmentally, energy, you name it, he
• 50:16
  Speaker 6: is isolating China move by move. Doesn't mean China's done
• 50:24
  Speaker 6: for or anything like that. That's not what I'm getting at.
• 50:31
  Speaker 6: But I'm sure you will come across one of your
• 50:36
  Speaker 6: favorite podcasters or bloggers who cloggers and sloggers, all alike,
• 50:43
  Speaker 6: who are going to be bent out of shape about
• 50:45
  Speaker 6: this deal, mostly because the more of this that happens,
• 50:50
  Speaker 6: the less relevant they become. So they have to say ridiculous,
• 50:55
  Speaker 6: more grabastic things to get the clicks necessary to keep
• 51:05
  Speaker 6: getting paid. And don't forget, that's exactly what's... I mean,
• 51:09
  Speaker 6: if Thomas Paine had to do all these things to
• 51:15
  Speaker 6: get paid to feed his family, I think common sense
• 51:20
  Speaker 6: would have sounded a whole lot different. It wouldn't have
• 51:24
  Speaker 6: been as common either.
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: And it's okay.
• 51:29
  Speaker 6: Making money is not a bad thing. But when you are.
• 51:34
  Speaker 6: Being elevated by the traditional media, who doesn't have time
• 51:37
  Speaker 6: to go write their own stuff, so they'll go grab
• 51:40
  Speaker 6: something a blogger said and report that. Today, Hasan Piker said.
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: You.
• 51:50
  Speaker 6: Know, I remember the days of trying to get a
• 51:52
  Speaker 6: little news coverage for my old radio shows. You know,
• 51:57
  Speaker 6: you had to do some ridiculous stuff. I mean, I
• 51:59
  Speaker 6: remember broadcasting from a billboard in... diapers and a bathrobe,
• 52:05
  Speaker 6: and we got some news coverage. I've sat up on
• 52:07
  Speaker 6: a roof for three days in sub-zero temperatures, got some
• 52:12
  Speaker 6: news coverage. Now they just give it away like candy,
• 52:17
  Speaker 6: mostly because they fired all of their regular reporters in
• 52:22
  Speaker 6: more newsroom downsizing, and that happened over the weekend as well.
• 52:29
  Speaker 6: So it's salad days for the blogger class. But you're
• 52:32
  Speaker 6: going to be confronted with these stories of how Donald
• 52:37
  Speaker 6: Trump is again violating the Constitution, going to infect your
• 52:42
  Speaker 6: souls and keep the allies from winning the war.
• 52:51
  Speaker 15: In today's troubled world, our USA Armed Forces stand ready
• 52:54
  Speaker 15: to protect you and our American way of life. When
