• 8:31
  Speaker 2: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36

• 10:00
  Speaker 9: It's always a boy growing up on a farm in Tennessee,
• 10:02
  Speaker 9: I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only in awe
• 10:05
  Speaker 9: of their beauty and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic.
• 10:08
  Speaker 9: Just look at the birds who gather supplies to build nests,
• 10:11
  Speaker 9: or Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
• 10:14

  Speaker 9: secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
• 10:20
  Speaker 9: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
• 10:22
  Speaker 9: in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
• 10:25
  Speaker 9: by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
• 10:28
  Speaker 9: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 10:32
  Speaker 9: they also perform life saving work every day.
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
• 10:36
  Speaker 9: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
• 10:38
  Speaker 9: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
• 10:41

  Speaker 9: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those

  Speaker 10: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: art and brain.

  Speaker 3: On your to do list. Putting the radio on is
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: the first thing today.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: It stadsday morning a fascinating story. And I like how
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: rulings sometimes are written because they're fun in the way
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: that they say things and a backhanded statement out of
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: the Department of Justice has inflamed twenty two attorneys general
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: from around the United States. Colorado, while the snowflakes are
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: falling there, California, there are some of the members of
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: this coalition of the damned or not surprising Connecticut, Sorry, Greenwich, California, Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: It's all the greatest hits. I means these places that Nevada,
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington,
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: and the District of Columbia have submitted a formal letter
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: opposing a Department of Justice ruling that stops the US
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: Postal Service from restricting guns being sent in the mail.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: I know you're thinking, what so Virginia's Attorney general, who
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: actually espoused putting two bullets in the head of a
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: political opponent, and then, when challenged upon it, refreshingly to
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: a degree, said yeah, I said that. Here's why I
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: said it. But J. Jones we call him double tap
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: here in Virginia. Double Tap joined the twenty two other
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: attorneys general opposing the ruling from the Department of Justice
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: that would stop the Postal Service from restricting delivery of
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: firearms through the mail. The opinion was actually issued January,
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: and these attorneys general, and in the case of double tap,
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: you have to give him some time the ruling was
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: being made. He would just was celebrating the fact that
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: he was now about to have the metaphorical firearm of
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: the chief law enforcement officer and the common aeuth of
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: Virginia to go after his political opponents. Doesn't actually have
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: to put two bullets in his head now or their heads.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: He has, you know, the ability to send law enforcement
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: after you and put you know, whether it be criminal
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: charges or tax of As you know, any number of
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: investigations can come from the Attorney General's office, and often
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: it's just the investigation. Remember the process is the punishment
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: these days. So I like the ruling though that the
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: Department of Justice issued in January. Keeping in mind this
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: is a January and it only just appeared to concern
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: these Attorneys general yesterday. But this is the Department of
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: Justice ruling. So long as Congress chooses to run a
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: parcel service, the Second Amendment precludes it from refusing to
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: ship constitutionally protected firearms to and from law abiding citizens,
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: even if they are not licensed manufacturers or dealers. Now
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: I appreciate this on several levels. Number one is its
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: grasp of what the Second Amendment says regarding shall not
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: be infringed. But I also like its grasp of what
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: the Constitution says about the post office. As a matter
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: of fact, the US Constitution spends more time aka about
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: a half of a sentence more on addressing your right
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: to own firearms than it does on what its responsibility
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: is to a postal system. For the public record, because
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: many of your friends will tell you, hey, post office
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: is constitutionally protected. Gil the existence of post offices and
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: the roads to connect them are connected are constitutionally protected.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: Go read, Go read your pocket guide to the US Constitution.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: I will serve as your verbal translator here. But the
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: US Constitution only mandates that postal offices be established in
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: municipalities and that roads to connect them are maintained. So
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: if you drive around the United States and you see
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: there are various signs on roads, many of them at
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: the same time. So it's Interstate seventy and the US
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: Route thirteen or whatever it is, amalgam of labels on them.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: The white shield looks like a police badge, you know,
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: the old school police badges. Those routes the white blackfield
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: with the white silhouette the numerals. Those are the constitutionally
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: mandated US postal routes. That's it that a post office
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: is established in your town and that those roads are
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: kept open to allow for mail delivery to them. What
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: happens in between is not mandated for Congress. That's what
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: I really loved about this ruling that came to light
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: only because all these attorneys general just noticed it. So
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: long as Congress chooses to run a parcel surface and
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: that's a beautiful, delicious precedent right there. Because we see
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: how the postal Service continues to struggle as a functionary
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: funded by and operated by political appointees, Perhaps, just perhaps
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: we need to start looking at some of the other options. Now.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: One of the things that is not mentioned in the
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: Spirit airlines collapse, aside from the fact that it was
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: Joe Biden's Department of Justice, not President Trump's, but President
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: Biden's Department of Justice that stopped JetBlue from buying them,
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: is the amount of mail that these airliners these air
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: carriers actually carry. And this is why you can bring
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: a carry on bag in most cases, not spirit but
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: most cases for free. But it'll cost you money to
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: put something in the hold of the plane, because the
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: more room they have in the hold of the plane,
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: the more mail they can put in there, the more FedEx,
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: and the more ups they can put in there as well.
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: The belly of those beasts are often filled with some
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: pretty well paying cargo from these parcel services. As the
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: Department of Justice piece identifies, I know there are bigger
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: fish afoot in the world than this delicious little story.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: But number one, the idea that somebody gets the nuance
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: of what the Second Amendment says, but moreover, even the
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: nuance of what was this blanche that did this? I'd
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: like to meet the DOJ lawyer that understands the Constitution
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: this beauty.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 22:07

• 28:38
  Speaker 4: up and finish up on this situation with UH mail
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: ordered guns and it's delicious because the mail order gun
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: stuff is actually thanks to the Biden administration. They didn't
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: realize that, of course, the fact that more and more
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: states are trying to restrict unconstitutional efforts on your right
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: to own and keep firearms. People have been trying to
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: send them by mail and the Biden administration was ordering
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: through the postmaster and they wouldn't deliver firearms. But the
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: ruling from the Department justices you can't do that.
• 29:33
  Speaker 13: Now.
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: I don't know if that winds up being a suit
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: in front of courts of law based on people who
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: had that commerce restricted, but it opens this door to
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: hopefully and a nice honest conversation about how the mail
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: gets delivered, you realize that another nail in the confident
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: of some of these discount air carriers was levied by
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: the Biden administration when they pulled a billion dollars out
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: of the airline industry, mostly because the Postal Service couldn't
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: afford it anymore. They were paying upwards of three point
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: five billion dollars into airlines for the space in their
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: cargo holds at their peak, and almost completely eliminated it
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: in twenty twenty three. And I don't know if the
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: Auto Pen himself signed that order or if it was
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: doctor Jill. Somebody signed the order. Maybe it was the
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: auto Pen itself pulled several billion dollars out of the
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: airline industry and said no, we're going to give it
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: all to the US, to the to UPS United Partial Service.
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: And I don't have campaign contribution numbers on this, but
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: UPS now delivers the US Postal Service mail the lion's
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: share of it, So why not just finish the deal? Obviously,
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: FedEx and UPS do a better job than the congressionally
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: operated postal delivery operation in between the constitutionally mandated postal
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: offices and using the postal routes that are guaranteed. Let's fitish,
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: looks like we're almost eighty percent of the way there.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: Now you still have your post office and people miss this.
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: There is no guarantee to have it delivered to your
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: house either. All this stuff is stuff that was done
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: by pandering populists who said, hey, hey, why don't we
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: bring your mail right to your house. That'd make you happy,
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: wouldn't it. And it does until the mail doesn't get there,
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: until you don't find that check from your sponsor or,
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: and and they're insistent that they send it two months ago.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: Those kind of things really can make people salty. So
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: let's let's get out of a business that we're not
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: good at, turn it over to private companies that we
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: are already paying to do it for us. So here's
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: the deliciousness that this exposes. So so thanks to j Jones,
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: double Tap and all these other Attorneys General Letitia James
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: at al. The world now knows that a you can
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: send a firearm through the US mail. But number two
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: curious hosts would start looking around because it's a commonly
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: held knowledge that a lot of cargo hold space on
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: US airliners had been filled by US Mail, and now
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: apparently several billion dollars out of the airline industry has
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: gone poof because the Biden administration couldn't afford it. Now
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: I agree with them that we shouldn't be doing this
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: kind of thing, But if you wonder what's happening with
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: the airline industry, maybe losing several billion dollars in US
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: government pork has some impact on it. And it's a
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: warning for all of us who want to get the
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: government out of all of these industries that this is
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: what it looks like when the government stops subsidizing. And
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: this is actually even a it's not even a subsidy.
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: It's it's the government saying, hey, instead of us buying
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: airplanes and so on and so forth, how about we
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: just use your unused cargo hold space and you deliver
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: our mail for us. But UPS does it more efficiently,
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: to the point where the US Postal Service actually uses
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: UPS to all that money that went away from United
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: and Spirit and Jet Blue and all these carriers that
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: were several billion dollars in their industry just went poof.
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: A little scribble from the auto pen and all this money,
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: all this pork, if you will it's it's it's salted pork.
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: I mean, it is commerce. At least it isn't just
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: a handout. We were paying these airlines for them actually
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: doing something. This is an example of what's going to
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: happen when the US government inevitably has to get out
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: of the insurance business and the medical business, and the
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: automobile business and all these other things that they've partnered with.
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: And you'll have another cadre of Attorneys general saying, but
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: we now understand that if UPS decides to know, and
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: we decide that UPS is going to deliver our mail,
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: and it could be any number of people, all you
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: have to do is establish that Thomas Media LLC. Is
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: based out of this city, and this is our post
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: office box. So that's all we're guaranteed by the constitution.
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: And the mail will arrive there and go into the box,
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: and my wife will drive down to the post office
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: and get our mail for us, just as we used
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: to happen all the time. And it could come from FedEx,
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: it could come from UPS, could come from Bobby's Delivery
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: Service or DHL for all it matters, but it gave
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: you and I may be the only one who caught this.
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: Nobody else I'm getting text messages or where the hell
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: did this story come from?
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: Joe.
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: It's just because of these Attorneys general flipping out over
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: the fact that guns can be delivered through the US
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: mail right now. And I know, technically if a private
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: companies do it, they can deny that delivery. But that's
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: a private company, and you can choose a different one.
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: And since we're already as a matter of form, don't
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: you drop your mail off at the US Postal Service
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: office in a blue box somewhere and it's just going
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: to ups anyway, let's pull the trigger. Okay, pun intended
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: there on that one, but let's just go the rest
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: of the way. Keep to the constitution, make sure those
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: roads are paved and they're open so that people can
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: drive their trucks from one post office to the other.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: And make sure each municipality has a post office. That's all.
• 37:59

  Speaker 20: At Hotshot Secret. We share the science behind common diesel
• 38:04
  Speaker 20: problems in their solutions.
• 38:06
  Speaker 16: For example, diesel fuel setan levels.
• 38:08
  Speaker 20: In many states, the setane rating and diesel fuel is
• 38:11
  Speaker 20: forty two to forty five. Most diesel engines operate more
• 38:14
  Speaker 20: efficiently with the cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one.
• 38:17
  Speaker 20: Treatment of hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your
• 38:20
  Speaker 20: seatane seven points, increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts.
• 38:24
  Speaker 20: Due to a cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons in
• 38:27
  Speaker 20: particulate matter in your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of
• 38:30
  Speaker 20: your diesel particulate filter. Using Diesel Extreme generates eighty three
• 38:34
  Speaker 20: percent less DPF regenerations. The six and one Diesel Extreme
• 38:38
  Speaker 20: formula also includes the most concentrated detergent on the market,

• 43:35
  Speaker 17: Probably okay, isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 43:39
  Speaker 17: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 43:42

• 44:00
  Speaker 22: H we couldn't tell you what six seven means.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: Where's the final? That first thing today by Joe Thomas
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: on the Talk media.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: Network, Oh them damn Yankees.
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: On this Ted Stay Morning. Joe in Virginia texted me
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: at four three four eight A two four two one seven. First,
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: first he said, stop the junk mail in US postal
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: services out of business. Well, you know, here's the thing
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: about junk mail, and I throw junk mail. Well, first
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: I throw it in the fire pit and burn it.
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: But junk mail only goes out because it has impact.
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: And a fun fact about political campaigns. So we talked
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: about the seventy million dollars that were spent by out
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: of state operators in the redistricting battle in Virginia, all
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: this money spent to get a one percentage point victory.
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: But when research is done, Joe, I don't know if
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: you and this, this will dishearten you. If you want
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: to get rid of junk mail, people say that it
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: actually has impact. In this day of digital media and
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: everything else, Putting something in your hand, whether you want
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: it there or not, does more to make a point
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: to you to get a piece of information. Now, this
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: is in the weeds stuff about direct mail and a
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: technically junk mail. Most of us only see the headline,
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: much like any traditional news story. So if the headline
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: says everything you need to say, opens the question, Hey
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: I saw that so and so opposes you know, black
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: people from voting. That message sticks more so than even
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: the digital stuff because our annoyance factor, and this is
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: demographic research, marketing research, our annoyance factor with the pop
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: up ads on our smartphones and we're surfing the interwebs
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: is higher than it is with direct mail junk mail.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: And I get it.
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: I get these letters that look like official statements from
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: thus and such or whatever, and it's bank you know,
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: statement included, and there's no bank statement and if there is,
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: it's not by bank. It's a statement that they want
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: to be by bank. And you have to look at
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: it all because you don't know if somebody has done
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: a little phony blooney messing around with your identity, so
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: you open it all anyway, But junk mail exists because
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: say this, it works if it didn't have an impact.
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: I saw one piece that said upwards of eighty percent
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: of the money spent in advertising or no, no, it
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: was eighty percent of campaign money is spent on advertising,
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: and the lion's share of that is spent on direct
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: mail pieces, those big oversized mailers, placards that show up
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: in your mailbox saying vote for Josie. They have impact because,
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: believe me, in the day of digital media, not the
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: only person that made digital work from was Barack Obama.
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: But that was two thousand and eight. I wasn't yesterday.
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: Most of us dislike the digital stuff more than we
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: dislike the physical stuff in our mailbox. Anyway. His other
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: question was just wondering the legacy media has an dated
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: me in say a year after wearing this particular story out,
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: How is Russia and Ukraine war going? Was supposed to
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: be a ceasefire today and then Russia killed twenty two people.
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: Unilateral ceasefire proposed by Ukraine was supposed to take effect
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: this morning, and Russia celebrated this by airstrikes involving eighty
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: nine drones as well as ballistic missiles hitting eight different locations.
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: Ukraine says at least twenty seven people were killed in
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: the strikes in eastern Ukraine in the hours leading up
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: to the supposed start of the ceasefire. Zelenski, of course,
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: is irate, saying that this is the ultimate in Russian treachery.
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: Putin had not, by the way, for his part, committed
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: to observing the seats fire, proposed his own truce to
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: cover May eighth and ninth, when Russia will commemorate the
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: end of World War eleven. As ilhan Omar calls it
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: with a military parade in Red Square, I guess there
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: are few remaining. You know, missile launchers will be on
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: parade in Red Square. So you know we'll cease fire
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: because all our guns are going to be in Moscow.
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: As Putin gets his Chernyenko on standing up there like
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: the premiere of the Supreme Soviet the viewing tower, it's
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: all you know, recreating history. What you don't think anyone
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: knows about ilhan Omar and World War eleven? Oh, come on, play,
• 50:59
  Speaker 4: not on this broke. Maybe if we were playing hot hits.
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: Maybe if we were playing ten in a row of
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: your favorite hits from the sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties, two
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: thousands en today. But I think the listeners of this
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: program know about ilhan Omar and World War eleven. I
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: mean I saw a meme with Nigel Saint Tufnel or
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: whatever say from spinal taps saying she goes to eleven
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: fun at others people's expenses, not something we're above doing
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: in the morning. Schadenfreud is my particular flavor of mental
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: health care. So there you go, Joe, there's your update
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: from Ukraine. Supposed to be a ceasefire today, maybe a
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: ceasefire in a couple of days at least, while Russia
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: has all of its missile launchers on parade in Red Square.
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: But Russia said, oh, ceasefire, Sure, you cease firing and
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: will rain death down from above. And there's a bigger
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: abstract about this war that is, you know, it was
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: hypothetical when I first said I didn't like all this
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: drone warfare going on, but Russia has struggled mightily to
• 52:25
  Speaker 4: put boots on the ground because most of the boots
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: they had have been either captured or killed and they
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: can't get new ones. And the ones they send are
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: criminals that were in prison anyway, and they're taking it
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: on the lamb, so they're relying on long range missile
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: strikes and drones to do their battles for them, And
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: I worry about this becoming the future.
• 52:51
  Speaker 12: Crime across the country is at an all time high.
• 52:54
  Speaker 12: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
• 52:56
  Speaker 12: a risk. We don't want the feeling of being unprotected
• 52:59
