"Hit 'Em Right in the Caracas" (Saturday, January 3, 2026, Hour 2) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:01
Speaker 1: From the President of the United States.
0:03
Speaker 2: We'll do it.
0:04
Speaker 3: Making mornings great again. We'll do the first thing today
0:07
Speaker 3: on the chunk media acts by Joe Thomas.
0:10
Speaker 1: We'll do it. The United States of America has successfully
0:13
Speaker 1: carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela at its leader,
0:17
Speaker 1: President Nicholas.
0:17
Speaker 4: Maduro Jewart said, steal me.
0:22
Speaker 1: Who has been captured and flown out of the country.
0:24
Speaker 5: The sun comes up, drops.
0:27
Speaker 6: The way.
0:29
Speaker 4: Joe is everything.
0:30
Speaker 7: All the Jersey seven needs.
0:34
Speaker 8: No one that Joe's smiled.
0:36
Speaker 9: He only as.
0:41
Speaker 1: Joe, thank you for letting us be of service to
0:44
Speaker 1: you this Saturday morning. Whereas Bill O'Reilly said, we'll do
0:49
Speaker 1: it live four three four eight eight two four two
0:53
Speaker 1: one seven. How we roll here is I'll tell you
0:56
Speaker 1: what went on last night. I will tell you what
0:58
Speaker 1: my forensic team says they found in the evidence left
1:02
Speaker 1: behind in the debris field of what went on last night.
1:06
Speaker 1: And then I mostly want to hear about how it
1:08
Speaker 1: is impacting you where you are at four three four
1:12
Speaker 1: eight A two four two one seven. That is the
1:16
Speaker 1: phone number you can talk or you can text message there.
1:23
Speaker 1: Kareem picking up on the idea that we're just doing
1:27
Speaker 1: this for oil, the invasion, the bombing of Venezuela, that
1:31
Speaker 1: it's not really about the drug trade, it's about the
1:34
Speaker 1: oil that's in Venezuela. He warns that Nigeria has oil,
1:39
Speaker 1: to which I pointed out, yes, so to South Dakota
1:42
Speaker 1: and Alberta. But he says, yes, but we've already killed
1:48
Speaker 1: all the natives there, to which I responded, sure, and
1:52
Speaker 1: the Swedes killed all of my ancestors in Scotland, I
1:56
Speaker 1: mean vikings.
1:57
Speaker 10: But you know, you get the point, and we can just.
1:59
Speaker 1: Go on on and around and around and around. Is
2:02
Speaker 1: it about oil or is it about abject poverty being
2:08
Speaker 1: driven by the drug trade and putting people in the
2:11
Speaker 1: position to need the drug trade so that they can survive.
2:17
Speaker 1: Because this was a prosperous nation prior to Hugo Chavez.
2:21
Speaker 1: Is elevation to president a prosperous nation full of prosperous
2:27
Speaker 1: people who didn't have to Oh, I don't have a
2:30
Speaker 1: riot for food? And is that important? Is that our worry? Well,
2:35
Speaker 1: it is when poverty leads you to work for the
2:38
Speaker 1: drug cartels and go after American kids. And understand, fentanyl
2:47
Speaker 1: actually has a very profound important medical use in America's
2:53
Speaker 1: hospitals in their operating rooms. So to just vilify fentanyl
2:59
Speaker 1: is a mistake because it's like vilifying a gun or
3:05
Speaker 1: any other sort of inanimate object. Let's go after the
3:08
Speaker 1: people who are using it. I still say Nancy Reagan
3:11
Speaker 1: was the most successful drug warrior when she went on
3:15
Speaker 1: her Just Say No campaign. So we bombed in and
3:20
Speaker 1: around Caracas, a large scale strike, as you heard the
3:23
Speaker 1: reporter talk, and Nicholas Maduro has been captured along with
3:28
Speaker 1: his wife and flown out of the country. According to
3:31
Speaker 1: President Trump, will hold a press conference today at eleven.
3:36
Speaker 1: Del Rodriguez, who is now the president of Venezuela she
3:40
Speaker 1: had been vice president, said in a hastily called press conference,
3:46
Speaker 1: we demand proof of life. The Cradle of the Liberator
3:51
Speaker 1: was attacked just north of them. Southern Mexico and Central
3:57
Speaker 1: Mexico were rocked by an earthquake that happened live during
4:01
Speaker 1: President Claudia Scheinbaum's New Year's greeting to the country. The
4:07
Speaker 1: earthquake had a magnitude of six point five and its
4:09
Speaker 1: epicenter was near the town of San Marcos. Iran's leader
4:16
Speaker 1: Iatola Alijmeni said to the President, we will not yield
4:23
Speaker 1: to the enemy. God willing, and by divine grace, we
4:26
Speaker 1: will bring the enemy to its knees. In response to
4:29
Speaker 1: President Trump's comments regarding the protesters, some reports from international
4:34
Speaker 1: press upwards of ten have been shot and killed by
4:38
Speaker 1: Iranian police. Offshore wind developers have gone to court to
4:44
Speaker 1: get going on building their wind turbines, again saying that
4:49
Speaker 1: the Trump administration decision to take the money away has
4:57
Speaker 1: cost them and they have to finish the project because
5:00
Speaker 1: somebody else said they had to finish the project. The
5:04
Speaker 1: Department of Justice Friday sent a letter to Minnesota's Secretary
5:07
Speaker 1: of State to many records related to the state's voter
5:10
Speaker 1: registration practices. The request is for all federal elections, the
5:17
Speaker 1: report says, held within the previous twenty two months from
5:21
Speaker 1: the date of the receipt of this letter, including the
5:24
Speaker 1: March fifth, twenty twenty four primary and the November fifth,
5:28
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four general elections. Assistant Attorney General Harmey Dylon
5:34
Speaker 1: is the one leading that tech Bogel billionaire Elon Musk
5:39
Speaker 1: is back in the Trump train, saying that he is
5:43
Speaker 1: going to bankroll Republican candidates. America is toast if the
5:48
Speaker 1: radical left wins, and those are some of our first
5:52
Speaker 1: things on this Saturday morning. Here all along your talk
5:56
Speaker 1: media network.
6:03
Speaker 2: Hi, this is Bud Foster, co host of Foster and
6:05
Speaker 2: Friends and former Virginia Tech football coach. When I brought
6:09
Speaker 2: the fame lunch fail to our team, it symbolized teamwork.
6:12
Speaker 2: The word win stood for what's important. Now, the Lunch
6:15
Speaker 2: Pail Defense Foundation realizes the importance of helping others. Our
6:19
Speaker 2: foundation is a nonprofit corporation that helps fund academic scholarship
6:23
Speaker 2: for eligible high school students. Since two thousand and nine,
6:26
Speaker 2: the Lunch Pail Defense Foundation is raised nearly four hundred
6:30
Speaker 2: thousand dollars and awarded over forty individual scholarships. We also
6:34
Speaker 2: support an organ transplant program in conjunction with Duke University
6:38
Speaker 2: Medical Center. For information regarding corporate sponsorship or becoming an
6:42
Speaker 2: individual supporter, log on to our site at lunch Paildefense
6:47
Speaker 2: dot com. It's always been important to win, especially when
6:51
Speaker 2: we're helping others.
7:02
Speaker 9: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
7:06
Speaker 11: Yes?
7:07
Speaker 9: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
7:12
Speaker 9: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
7:17
Speaker 9: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
7:22
Speaker 9: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
7:27
Speaker 9: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
7:31
Speaker 9: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
7:35
Speaker 9: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
7:38
Speaker 9: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
7:41
Speaker 9: your hands and feet. Well, our product, ultimate nitric oxide
7:46
Speaker 9: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

Speaker 9: where we are helping you to look good, feel good,
7:57
Speaker 9: and enjoy total wellness. Considered by most, Optimized curcumin is
8:06
Speaker 9: one of the few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products
8:11
Speaker 9: on the market. Hi, I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic
8:15
Speaker 9: diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems to be a
8:20
Speaker 9: perfect addition to any nutritional program. It makes sense to
8:25
Speaker 9: me that preventing or reducing inflammation is a key component
8:30
Speaker 9: to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin
8:34
Speaker 9: can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties, and research
8:40
Speaker 9: suggests that kurcumin can prevent cancer or at least slow
8:44
Speaker 9: the spread of cancer and in many instances, make chemotherapy
8:48
Speaker 9: more effective. It protects our healthy cells even from radiation.

9:02
Speaker 12: I'm Andrew Saul, Commission of Self Security. I'm here to
9:05
Speaker 12: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
9:10
Speaker 12: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
9:13
Speaker 12: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
9:17
Speaker 12: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
9:21
Speaker 12: are not from US. Real solid security employees will never
9:25
Speaker 12: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
9:29
Speaker 12: call like this, hang up. Never give the call of
9:33
Speaker 12: your personal information like your social Security number or bank account,
9:38
Speaker 12: or send money in any form cash, gift cards, wire transfers.
9:42
Speaker 11: Of prepaid debit cards.
9:44
Speaker 12: Report the call to our law enforcement on the Office
9:48
Speaker 12: of the Inspector General at OIG dot SSA dot gov.
9:53
Speaker 11: Share this information with your friends and family.
9:58
Speaker 13: Hiverybody, I'm Jackhanna.
10:00
Speaker 3: It's always a boy.
10:01
Speaker 13: Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
10:03
Speaker 13: with animals. I'm not only in awe of their beauty
10:06
Speaker 13: and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
10:08
Speaker 13: at the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or
10:11
Speaker 13: Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
10:14
Speaker 13: or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
10:17
Speaker 13: secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
10:20
Speaker 13: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
10:22
Speaker 13: in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
10:25
Speaker 13: by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
10:29
Speaker 13: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
10:32
Speaker 13: they also perform life saving work every day.
10:34
Speaker 3: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
10:36
Speaker 13: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
10:39
Speaker 13: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change.
10:42
Speaker 3: In their blood chemistry.
10:43
Speaker 13: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
10:45
Speaker 13: contribute to society and help those in need. So please
10:48
Speaker 13: join me an American Humane and supporting our heroic working
10:51
Speaker 13: dogs and all the amazing animals on this planet we
10:54
Speaker 13: inhabit together. Go to American Humane dot org to learn more.
11:00
Speaker 4: Bruh, that's buzzed.
11:01
Speaker 14: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
11:05
Speaker 4: And now a speech.
11:06
Speaker 6: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
11:10
Speaker 6: art and brain.
11:12
Speaker 1: Who's with me?
11:13
Speaker 4: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
11:15
Speaker 4: brain is saying when it's time to go home.
11:18
Speaker 15: Somebody call me a ride.
11:19
Speaker 16: Love that guy, me too.
11:21
Speaker 17: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
11:23
Speaker 17: it's time to go home.
11:25
Speaker 3: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
11:29
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
11:46
Speaker 18: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
11:49
Speaker 18: That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
11:53
Speaker 18: leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
11:56
Speaker 18: improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
12:00
Speaker 18: when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
12:02
Speaker 18: energy Star logo and read the energy guide label. And
12:06
Speaker 18: there are day to day things you can do. Lower
12:09
Speaker 18: your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,
12:12
Speaker 18: close fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep
12:15
Speaker 18: air filters clean. For more tips on saving money by

Speaker 19: As a family member or friend, you may be the
12:32
Speaker 19: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
12:35
Speaker 19: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
12:40
Speaker 19: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.

13:11
Speaker 3: Ques amaze your friends here in First Thing Today by
13:15
Speaker 3: Joe Thomas, come.
13:17
Speaker 20: And listen to the story about a man named Jed.
13:19
Speaker 1: The poor mout near barely kept his family fed, and
13:22
Speaker 1: then one day he was shooting at something up to
13:25
Speaker 1: the ground thumb.
13:26
Speaker 9: A bubble cruve oil that is black Gold Texas team.
13:33
Speaker 1: Well, the first thing you know, a Jeds and minionaire.
13:35
Speaker 1: The folks said, Jed, move away from.
13:38
Speaker 3: There, said California is a face you ought to be.
13:41
Speaker 18: So they loaded up the truckle hills that is swimming
13:46
Speaker 18: pools and movies, I mean concrete ponds, don't you there?
13:50
Speaker 1: So the bubbling crude is that what we're shooting at
13:54
Speaker 1: in Venezuela, Ray writes in to uh JT in the
13:58
Speaker 1: morning radio at GEZ. The price of crude oil has
14:06
Speaker 1: actually been falling recently, and the Venezuelan crude is difficult
14:10
Speaker 1: to refine. So control of the Venezuelan oil probably does
14:14
Speaker 1: not figure prominently in our current adventure. I've had it
14:19
Speaker 1: compared to bunker fuel there, there's so much sulfur. From
14:23
Speaker 1: what I understand in the I don't know all that
14:26
Speaker 1: much about the biochem refinement industry, but I understand that
14:33
Speaker 1: there's just a ton of impurities in the oil that
14:38
Speaker 1: comes out of the Venezuelan waters, and so I don't
14:47
Speaker 1: know what you have to do to refine it all out.
14:49
Speaker 1: I understand that some of the stuff, like you know,
14:52
Speaker 1: Welsh coal is really like almost one hundred percent pure.
14:56
Speaker 1: It's like dove soap, and so it's varying degrees of
15:01
Speaker 1: whatever is being ground up in there. What No, it's not,
15:07
Speaker 1: you know, it's not dinosaur remains. I mean maybe some
15:13
Speaker 1: of it is. It's tectonic movement. I mean, that's why
15:16
Speaker 1: some of these oil fields that should have been dry
15:19
Speaker 1: fifty hundred years ago aren't because the planet keeps making
15:25
Speaker 1: more of this stuff. Here's a good question, by the way,
15:30
Speaker 1: for the greenies what happens? And we're going to ask
15:35
Speaker 1: some folks that when we get to the Consumer Electronics show,
15:39
Speaker 1: because it appears to me, and your results may vary,
15:42
Speaker 1: but just just for conversation's sake, it appears to me
15:47
Speaker 1: that we have a much more tangible chance of running
15:51
Speaker 1: out of all the stuff we need to make batteries
15:55
Speaker 1: and solar panels than we do running out of fossil fuel,
16:00
Speaker 1: if you will, oil, because it appears that a lot
16:08
Speaker 1: of the oil fields that were supposed to be dry
16:11
Speaker 1: fifty years ago aren't yet. As far as I can tell,
16:17
Speaker 1: there's a relatively finite amount of cobalt and palladium and
16:21
Speaker 1: all of that on the planet that we need to
16:24
Speaker 1: make these solar panel arrays and the batteries that we need.
16:29
Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be ironic if we wind up using the
16:32
Speaker 1: oil as loss.
16:35
Speaker 10: You're not burning it, That's all I got about. I
16:37
Speaker 10: want you burning it.
16:39
Speaker 1: See, the green movement is really an anti fire movement.
16:45
Speaker 1: These are people that truly believe the worst thing that
16:47
Speaker 1: ever happened to planet Earth was mankind marshaling the ability
16:52
Speaker 1: to create their own fire. If they could go back
16:59
Speaker 1: in time and change one thing, they wouldn't kill actual Hitler.
17:03
Speaker 1: They would go back and stop Oough from figuring out
17:07
Speaker 1: how to make fire for himself, because that's the great horror.
17:14
Speaker 1: We would still be tiger food if we hadn't figured
17:17
Speaker 1: out how to master fire.
17:20
Speaker 10: But those were these greedies.
17:22
Speaker 1: They don't care about the oil, they care about burning it.
17:29
Speaker 1: There was a story, gosh, fifteen years ago, maybe maybe
17:33
Speaker 1: a little bit less, but it was a while ago.
17:35
Speaker 1: Some scientists in California, we're trying to figure out why
17:40
Speaker 1: solar panels, seemingly, you know, an abundant source of electricity,
17:45
Speaker 1: had not been turning out as profitable as they could.
17:50
Speaker 1: And they realized one of the problems is that trees
17:53
Speaker 1: don't make electricity with the sunlight.
17:55
Speaker 10: They make fuel.
17:59
Speaker 1: So they converted some solar panels to make basically what
18:03
Speaker 1: we would call biofuel, and it worked really well. It
18:09
Speaker 1: created the sucrose or whatever was making, but it was
18:13
Speaker 1: basically sugar, the same way sap is created through photosynthesis.
18:19
Speaker 10: They said, well, this is great.
18:20
Speaker 1: We could just hang these things out here. It makes
18:23
Speaker 1: all the biofuel we want through photosynthesis, and then we
18:33
Speaker 1: just use that to fire up our electric generators. And
18:37
Speaker 1: the greenies poop themselves over that too, because it's still
18:41
Speaker 1: involved burning something. So whenever these folks tell you they're
18:45
Speaker 1: against fossil fuels, they're not. They couldn't care less. As
18:49
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, they're quite happy with all the
18:51
Speaker 1: stuff that's made with oil, and it's derivatives like the
18:55
Speaker 1: plastics that their iPad is encased in, their eye phone
19:00
Speaker 1: and their I Claudius and all the other you know,
19:04
Speaker 1: gadgets they have from Apple Incorporated. They're fine with that
19:10
Speaker 1: derivative of oil. They just don't want you burning it.
19:16
Speaker 1: Smoke you can, wood doesn't make a difference. If you're
19:20
Speaker 1: burning it, you're a danger to the planet. And they
19:30
Speaker 1: hate it when you point that out because it makes
19:32
Speaker 1: them seem so much less interesting at a cocktail party.
19:38
Speaker 1: But they would if they could go back in time,
19:40
Speaker 1: they would stop that first caveman that figured out how
19:43
Speaker 1: to master fire, how to start it himself, use it.
19:48
Speaker 1: What an oligarch he turned out to be. So Venezuela
19:57
Speaker 1: and I agree with ray I don't think it's about
19:59
Speaker 1: the oil. I think it is about their complacency with Colombia.
20:03
Speaker 1: And what is the message you know to Bob said,
20:06
Speaker 1: Who's next? I think this is more of a message
20:08
Speaker 1: to Cuba and Colombia than it is Iran. Iran's got
20:14
Speaker 1: their own problems. Their economy is in the dump. Now
20:18
Speaker 1: here's the danger. Here's the danger in Iran, the peril
20:23
Speaker 1: because we did this to Germany in the thirties, and
20:27
Speaker 1: by we I mean England. In France mostly insisted on
20:31
Speaker 1: making Germany a ten in state, a poverty stricken backwash
20:40
Speaker 1: trailer park, and Germans didn't like that. So this guy,
20:47
Speaker 1: who was a passionate speaker hadn't really done much else
20:51
Speaker 1: in life, but man the kid could talk. He got
20:57
Speaker 1: up there and took over the Nationalist Socialist Party and
21:04
Speaker 1: the rest was an ugly part of history. So you
21:07
Speaker 1: have to be careful about suborning poverty because it always
21:14
Speaker 1: has to come with a rifle in someone's hands. Because
21:18
Speaker 1: it's not human's nature to be poor and to stay poor.
21:24
Speaker 1: It's humans nature to try to make money, to try
21:27
Speaker 1: to do better for their families and their kin, to
21:32
Speaker 1: go hunting for some food, and perhaps find some bubbling crude.
21:39
Speaker 1: And if you do, the greenies will come after you
21:41
Speaker 1: because you just gotta burn that, aren't you racist?
21:46
Speaker 10: Colonialist?
21:48
Speaker 1: Imperialist That was the word that Venezuela's vice president used.

Speaker 7: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, suv, or light truck,
23:14
Speaker 7: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
23:17
Speaker 7: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
23:20
Speaker 7: That's what you should use, But there are exceptions to
23:23
Speaker 7: the rule. Many high end or luxury vehicles call for
23:26
Speaker 7: premium or higher octane fuel, and the reason for this
23:29
Speaker 7: is not just due to the octane rating. There are
23:31
Speaker 7: better fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know too.
23:35
Speaker 7: The vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
23:38
Speaker 7: with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
23:41
Speaker 7: their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
23:44
Speaker 7: your fuel choices around, say every third tank full, you
23:47
Speaker 7: may find better performance and miles per gallon because you
23:50
Speaker 7: are cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive.
23:53
Speaker 7: Just don't tell your mechanic you're trying to replace them
23:55
Speaker 7: anytime soon. With your automotive prescription. I'm ronin aany in

Speaker 9: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
24:07
Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
24:12
Speaker 9: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
24:18
Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
24:22
Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
24:26
Speaker 9: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
24:31
Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
24:36
Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
24:42
Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
24:45
Speaker 9: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
24:50

28:33
Speaker 1: It's a way of rolls. Thank pat four three four
28:36
Speaker 1: eight eight two four two one seven. That is the
28:39
Speaker 1: phone number of emails coming to JT in the Morning
28:42
Speaker 1: Radio at gmail dot com. The issue of Venezuela and
28:49
Speaker 1: the invasion has has several things going on that have
28:52
Speaker 1: distracted from other matters. So the Jewish community in New
28:56
Speaker 1: York is already after zor On Mamdani to demonstrate quote
29:02
Speaker 1: a serious commitment to confronting and anti Semitism. The rest
29:08
Speaker 1: of the Muslim community in New York, like Zorhan Mamdani,
29:13
Speaker 1: are busy at the moment laughing, But as soon as
29:15
Speaker 1: they stop laughing and rolling around on the floor, I'm
29:18
Speaker 1: sure they'll have a comment. The groups including the Uja
29:27
Speaker 1: Federation of New York, jc RC New York, AJC of
29:31
Speaker 1: New York, ADL of New York and New Jersey, Agudath
29:34
Speaker 1: Israel of America, and the New York Board of Rabbis
29:38
Speaker 1: and the Orthodox Union all warmed that Mamdani's decision to
29:43
Speaker 1: hit reset on Mayor Eric adams executive orders on antisemitism
29:48
Speaker 1: rolled back he measures the Jewish community viewed as essential.
29:52
Speaker 1: You know, Mam Donnie's office did respond on Friday, said
29:59
Speaker 1: he would fund measures to prevent hate crimes and would
30:02
Speaker 1: make protection of Jewish New Yorkers a focus of his administration.
30:07
Speaker 1: So it sounds he's like, oh, no, we'll protect you.
30:11
Speaker 1: I mean, define protect.
30:12
Speaker 10: I mean that's.
30:15
Speaker 1: A moving target. Also, a lot of people making hay
30:18
Speaker 1: out of Elon Musk getting back in the family. He
30:24
Speaker 1: wrote on X America is toast. If the radical left wins,
30:29
Speaker 1: they will open the floodgates to illegal immigration and form fraud.
30:34
Speaker 1: We won't be America anymore. And they say it's a
30:37
Speaker 1: huge thing and also huge. Department of Justice wants.
30:49
Speaker 10: Twenty two months.
30:50
Speaker 1: And I thought this was an oddly specific amount, But
30:53
Speaker 1: twenty two months of federal election data from the receipt
31:01
Speaker 1: of a letter that I guess was sent late December
31:05
Speaker 1: twenty two months, including the primary of March fifth, twenty
31:09
Speaker 1: twenty four, and the general election on November fifth, but
31:14
Speaker 1: they want all of the voter registration practices as well
31:21
Speaker 1: as the voter registration details. But they want they want
31:26
Speaker 1: the report on their practices. This says to me.
31:30
Speaker 10: And you know, you can read the tea leaves differently
31:33
Speaker 10: if you want.
31:34
Speaker 1: This says to me, somebody has already blown the whistle
31:37
Speaker 1: about something, and they already have something that they're looking for,
31:46
Speaker 1: and so they've they've gone specifically on this. It gives
31:51
Speaker 1: you a trolling mission, but they know what they're looking for.
31:56
Speaker 1: That's without question.
31:57
Speaker 10: There.
31:59
Speaker 1: Mag Make Donald was in and chronicling the college football playoffs,
32:05
Speaker 1: including My Pain and Suffering, which involved trying to watch
32:13
Speaker 1: some college football games only to find that the good
32:19
Speaker 1: ones were all past my bedtime. You know, why can't
32:21
Speaker 1: the game that gets decided in the last ten seconds
32:25
Speaker 1: be the noon game?
32:26
Speaker 23: Be the noon game?
32:27
Speaker 3: Yeah?
32:27
Speaker 1: Why why do I have to be so? And by
32:29
Speaker 1: the way, there is a certain amount of schadenfreud that
32:32
Speaker 1: happens when you watch Alabama get Alabama. But you know, man,
32:39
Speaker 1: you know, and for my friends in Harrisonburg, Virginia, Hey,
32:43
Speaker 1: at least James Madison scored thirty four on Oregon, you.
32:47
Speaker 24: Know, just saying for all the people like, why you
32:50
Speaker 24: let James Madison in here at least beat down thirty
32:54
Speaker 24: eight to three was the Tides first loss by thirty
32:57
Speaker 24: five plus and twenty eight years.
32:59
Speaker 10: Oh my god.
33:00
Speaker 23: Really, and you know both teams went through the twenty
33:04
Speaker 23: sixth day layoff and that's why.
33:06
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, I bring to the table.
33:08
Speaker 23: You know, it's another Kurt Signetti SoundBite because he still
33:12
Speaker 23: gets the same questions over and over and over and over.
33:16
Speaker 23: But then again, in defense of the media and the Riders,
33:19
Speaker 23: they are seeing a coach sometimes for the first time
33:23
Speaker 23: they're on the West coast.
33:24
Speaker 1: You know, they haven't had a.
33:25
Speaker 23: Chance to go one on one despite all the press,
33:27
Speaker 23: availabilities and everything. But Kurt was you know, he was straightforward.
33:32
Speaker 23: I mean, this team is just they're a number one
33:36
Speaker 23: seed for a reason, and you know, just re just
33:39
Speaker 23: beating everybody like a drum got to It was a
33:42
Speaker 23: slow start and then they scored twenty four straight. But
33:46
Speaker 23: he was asked the question yesterday, you know, how can
33:51
Speaker 23: how can you just keep doing this? And did you
33:54
Speaker 23: learn a lot in your days when you were coaching
33:56
Speaker 23: D two and whatever? Of course, Signetti played it straight.
34:02
Speaker 10: I can't hear Matt, I'm not hearing him. Oh you
34:06
Speaker 10: can't hear it. No, Well, let me double check.
34:11
Speaker 23: Sorry, let me double check a setting. Oh, I'm sorry,
34:13
Speaker 23: there it is. I thought I said it all right,
34:15
Speaker 23: here we go.
34:16
Speaker 8: Good.
34:17
Speaker 10: Thanks, I'm glad I got you in the other end.
34:19
Speaker 1: Okay, happy January.
34:20
Speaker 10: Second.
34:20
Speaker 25: Well, you know, I learned from my mistakes. One thing
34:22
Speaker 25: about it was, you know, I did make a lot
34:24
Speaker 25: of mistakes year one, and then the second time three.
34:27
Speaker 25: You always get a little better, and every year you do.
34:30
Speaker 25: So I can't say that I'm the same coach I
34:32
Speaker 25: was year one because I'm not. You're always looking to
34:35
Speaker 25: improve because you get better or worse. You never stay
34:37
Speaker 25: the same. And yeah, my journey has been kind of surreal,
34:39
Speaker 25: but I think every move kind of prepared me for
34:42
Speaker 25: this challenge at this time with the changing dynamic of
34:45
Speaker 25: college football.
34:46
Speaker 3: You know, he is just one notch above a Bill Belichick.
34:51
Speaker 1: Well, if people forget so James Madison being the you know,
34:54
Speaker 1: supposedly this usurper in the college area, he's the one
34:57
Speaker 1: who really put James Madison well, I guess no, he
35:00
Speaker 1: was the second guy. And who is the longtime coach
35:03
Speaker 1: that was the won all the and Mickey Andrews. Yeah,
35:06
Speaker 1: win all the Division two titles. It was North Dakota
35:09
Speaker 1: State versus James Madison for D two all the time,
35:13
Speaker 1: it seemed like and then finally they said, you know,
35:15
Speaker 1: we're going to go D one and Signetti won, like
35:18
Speaker 1: right off the bat. You know that was there was
35:21
Speaker 1: no like learning college game day.
35:23
Speaker 23: Was there when Signette because they were winning, you know, uh,
35:26
Speaker 23: you know college game Day with the Harrisonburg and you know,
35:29
Speaker 23: people started to discover you know, Signetti. So it was anyway,
35:33
Speaker 23: the way, the way it's set down, Miami and Ole
35:35
Speaker 23: Miss will meet Thursday in the semi finals. A great
35:37
Speaker 23: win for Pete Golding, who is is being in I
35:41
Speaker 23: love this whole Golden story because he is embraced by
35:44
Speaker 23: the Mannings. Archie and Eli made a lot of speeches
35:48
Speaker 23: to the teams or whatever. Of course, Archie's number is
35:51
Speaker 23: was the first to ever be retired by Ole Miss,
35:53
Speaker 23: so number eighteen hangs it. You know, I just but
35:56
Speaker 23: I'm a big Pete Golden guy, and uh, you know
36:00
Speaker 23: it's just well, and with the Lane Kiffin stuff, the
36:04
Speaker 23: whole you know, Lane Kiffin was smiling even though you
36:07
Speaker 23: know he's probably one of the most hated guys in
36:09
Speaker 23: the Southeast.
36:11
Speaker 3: That was terrific.
36:12
Speaker 23: But now Miami, so they reced. They always play that game.
36:15
Speaker 23: Let's resee the teams and you know what's going to happen.
36:18
Speaker 23: And you know, so Oregon with its you know, great
36:22
Speaker 23: showing its Texas Tech never showed up. I don't know
36:25
Speaker 23: where you know they were, but in the Orange Bowl,
36:27
Speaker 23: as you said, that was at noon twenty three.
36:29
Speaker 10: Nothing.
36:29
Speaker 23: And so anyway, the way Miami and o miss and
36:32
Speaker 23: then Oregon in Indiana. So it's Thursday Friday.
36:36
Speaker 1: It's a scene setting for the college football playoffs there
36:42
Speaker 1: and coming soon. Now it's you know, the pros get
36:45
Speaker 1: their turn today. Our friend Nick fredis and there's a
36:50
Speaker 1: lot of folks who are telling me he's going to
36:52
Speaker 1: take over at Charlie Kirks radio show. That'd be cooler
36:55
Speaker 1: than the other side of the pillows said that.
36:57
Speaker 20: All the New Yorkers that voted for Mom gone. I
37:00
Speaker 20: just want to tell you something, in about a year
37:02
Speaker 20: and a half, two years from now, when you discover
37:04
Speaker 20: that the warmth of collectivism is not all it's cracked
37:07
Speaker 20: up to be, because after all, where were all the
37:08
Speaker 20: warnings except for all the warnings, I want to understand something.
37:12
Speaker 10: Isn't that Mom Donnie let you down.
37:14
Speaker 20: I have a feeling that Mom Donnie will try to
37:16
Speaker 20: faithfully execute a socialist utopia as well as anybody has
37:20
Speaker 20: ever tried. And the lesson you need to learn is
37:24
Speaker 20: this crap doesn't work. It hasn't worked before, It's not
37:27
Speaker 20: going to work now. You're not special in New York City. Okay,
37:30
Speaker 20: it doesn't work. So when you inevitably pick up whatever
37:34
Speaker 20: is left of your property or your wealth and you
37:36
Speaker 20: need to go somewhere else, the place you flee to
37:40
Speaker 20: doesn't need your opinion or insights. No, it needs you
37:44
Speaker 20: to sit down, shut up, and actually pay attention to
37:46
Speaker 20: what works so that you don't continue to perpetuate the
37:50
Speaker 20: same mistakes that you made in New York City in
37:52
Speaker 20: places that have successfully avoided those mistakes.

Speaker 22: Exercise is hard, so is main hating a healthy diet.
41:02
Speaker 22: Of course, neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly,
41:07
Speaker 22: type two diabetes, heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a
41:10
Speaker 22: million people a year. Even sadder, most of these deaths
41:14
Speaker 22: are preventable with a few lifestyle changes, including regular activity,
41:18
Speaker 22: healthier eating, and not smoking. Talk to your doctor about
41:23
Speaker 22: your risk for type two diabetes and heart disease, and
41:26
Speaker 22: if your doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication, listen. The
41:31
Speaker 22: reason so many die is because not enough are willing
41:34
Speaker 22: to change. You can stop it, starting right now. It's

44:16
Speaker 1: And I'm proud.
44:17
Speaker 9: I'm proud of be a part of this wall MARKABAT
44:20
Speaker 9: and the history of electronic entertainment.
44:24
Speaker 22: Just think, right now my presence is being beamed live
44:30
Speaker 22: via satellite to you and right into your face.
44:34
Speaker 1: I got a text message earlier I made the comment
44:37
Speaker 1: that thank goodness for this invasion of Venezuela giving us
44:40
Speaker 1: something else in our news feed besides more clips of
44:44
Speaker 1: this damn Chevy Chase reputation laundering mess. And Maureen writes
44:54
Speaker 1: in Joe, I've listened to you for some time now.
44:56
Speaker 1: Given your sense of humor, I thought you'd be a
44:58
Speaker 1: huge Chevy Chase fan. I am.
45:01
Speaker 10: I am.
45:02
Speaker 1: I love you, know, Fletch. Yeah, I'm not so much
45:07
Speaker 1: a Christmas vacation or a vacation movie. I enjoyed the
45:11
Speaker 1: first vacation all the DERIVERNI Yeah, Quad is much funnier
45:18
Speaker 1: in it than Chevy Chase. You know, the Funny Farm,
45:21
Speaker 1: you know some of these things, obviously, Caddy Shack and
45:26
Speaker 1: things like that, and his you know, brief time on
45:30
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live. All well and good. He's just another
45:34
Speaker 1: in an unending stream of celebrities that I just wish
45:37
Speaker 1: would go home and stay home in between their performances.
45:42
Speaker 10: Please, I don't need to know, you know all.
45:47
Speaker 1: And now he's out there and just demanding that you
45:51
Speaker 1: sit there and listen to the fact that and he'll
45:53
Speaker 1: tell you that's not how I remember it, because I
45:55
Speaker 1: had a stroke and I was in a coma for
45:57
Speaker 1: eight months, and they say my memory's been damned. Well,
46:01
Speaker 1: that's convenient, isn't it.
46:02
Speaker 10: Chev.
46:04
Speaker 1: I was glad that when they rebooted the Fletch series
46:08
Speaker 1: and Jeffrey McDonald's wonderful series about smart Ass and really
46:14
Speaker 1: Deadpool without the costumes, this smart alegy newspaper reporter John
46:26
Speaker 1: Hamm just killed it that although now people are telling
46:30
Speaker 1: me John Hamm is just Chevy Chase with a better voice.
46:35
Speaker 1: Oh okay, fine, that's all. Well, I just I don't
46:38
Speaker 1: want to know. I don't want to know, and please
46:41
Speaker 1: don't come to me and tell me what Humphrey Bogart's
46:44
Speaker 1: politics were. One of the reasons I enjoy the Cohen
46:52
Speaker 1: Brothers documentary Hail Caesar, I know, not actually a documentary.
47:00
Speaker 1: One of the reasons I enjoy you know, Hail Caesar
47:03
Speaker 1: is because most of the movie is about how this
47:06
Speaker 1: movie executive is trying to hide all the crap that
47:10
Speaker 1: these flawed and failed human beings are all about.
47:14
Speaker 10: In between the the movie magic. Just tell the stories.
47:19
Speaker 1: And maybe this is part and parcel of why the
47:22
Speaker 1: written word is still the best way. You know, I
47:26
Speaker 1: don't want Tolkien's legacy, and I'm and I'm saying this
47:32
Speaker 1: not even as a Tolkien fan.
47:36
Speaker 10: Or here Tom Clancy.
47:39
Speaker 1: I love Tom clancy books, the ones he actually wrote,
47:42
Speaker 1: not you know, under the Tom Clancy name. Tom Clancy
47:46
Speaker 1: is like McDonald's now it's a franchise, But when Tom
47:50
Speaker 1: Clancy was actually writing Tom Clancy novels.
47:53
Speaker 10: I love him.
47:54
Speaker 1: I love the way he writes, I love the They're
47:56
Speaker 1: exciting even through prose. And then you go and put
48:01
Speaker 1: Alec Baldwin in who, As hard as it is for
48:05
Speaker 1: me to say, because Alec Baldwin is a hot mess
48:08
Speaker 1: of a human being. He killed it.
48:12
Speaker 14: He was the best Jack Ryan of them all. I mean,
48:15
Speaker 14: they keep Chris Pine and obviously, oh Harrison Ford and whatnot.
48:21
Speaker 14: Alec Baldwin actually played him the way he was written.
48:24
Speaker 14: And I hate it because I know now I know
48:26
Speaker 14: what Alec Baldwin's all about. Like ah, and I try
48:30
Speaker 14: very hard, and my wife, my wife doesn't even try.
48:34
Speaker 14: As soon as my wife knows anything about somebody's background
48:38
Speaker 14: that she doesn't like, that's it. You're done, John Cusack.
48:42
Speaker 1: I mean, I've got a stack of John Cusack movies
48:44
Speaker 1: because he used to be her favorite actors. No more
48:50
Speaker 1: serendipity for you, No more America's Sweethearts. Sorry, thanks for playing.
48:58
Speaker 20: Me.
48:58
Speaker 1: I can. I can compart mentalized to a degree. But
49:04
Speaker 1: you know, man, just tell us the stories that you're
49:08
Speaker 1: you're hired to tell us. Go home, take the money
49:12
Speaker 1: and run. This is one of the reasons I'm not
49:17
Speaker 1: an Awards show fan. And everyone's like, oh, the Oscars
49:21
Speaker 1: are moving to YouTube. Yeah, good good, you know, and
49:27
Speaker 1: people have asked me about, you know, well, what does
49:29
Speaker 1: that say about broadcast television? I said, well, first off,
49:32
Speaker 1: the Oscars were an awful television program and when they
49:37
Speaker 1: weren't an awful television program. Everyone in the Hollywood glitterati
49:42
Speaker 1: community pooped themselves. Oh he made fun of his. David
49:46
Speaker 1: Letterman made fun of us. He's another one. I find
49:49
Speaker 1: David Letterman to be a wonderful comedic mind. Now you
49:55
Speaker 1: have to go tell me what you think about people
49:57
Speaker 1: like me, and you don't want me watching make it
50:00
Speaker 1: really hard. Just tell the stories. And that's why I
50:03
Speaker 1: like the printed word, because I don't have to find
50:09
Speaker 1: out that Elijah Wood is this, that or the other thing.
50:12
Speaker 1: And oh now I can't watch Frodo anymore. And as
50:20
Speaker 1: much as I enjoyed Benedict Cumberbatch's modernization of Sherlock Holmes,
50:26
Speaker 1: I could have read it in a book. Somebody could
50:28
Speaker 1: have rewritten it. That's fine. I don't need you know
50:34
Speaker 1: to tell you know. And that's why I love the
50:36
Speaker 1: printed word. I love the printed word because you're spared
50:40
Speaker 1: this whole Oh well, do.
50:42
Speaker 10: You know what he thinks of you? I don't want
50:44
Speaker 10: to know.
50:45
Speaker 1: I just just tell me the stories that we need
50:47
Speaker 1: to tell to advance our human condition. Tell us the
50:53
Speaker 1: good versus evil stories. I just don't need to know
50:56
Speaker 1: your politics. And yes, so yes, the question as I
51:00
Speaker 1: do love Chevy Chase as a performer, and I can't
51:04
Speaker 1: stand just stop with it already, please, At least at
51:11
Speaker 1: least the Venezuelan invasion has spared us that here's a question.
51:17
Speaker 1: Maybe they'll take hu goes Nicholas Meduro to New York
51:23
Speaker 1: where he can live under Zohan Mamdani's administration. Now there's
51:27
Speaker 1: a thought, maybe put him in charge of New York. Hey, Nick,
51:33
Speaker 1: we've got a place that you would reallyize. As a
51:34
Speaker 1: matter of fact, a lot of Venezuelan's there too. That's funny, Joel.
51:42
Speaker 1: I agree, actors finding out what actors are all about,
51:48
Speaker 1: drown their history. That's you know, hamp and the Treasure
51:53
Speaker 1: Coast writes, in quoting UK Daily Mail. Venezuelan leader Nicholas
51:59
Speaker 1: Meduro has been captured and flown out of the country,
52:02
Speaker 1: and I want to investigate this because there is a
52:04
Speaker 1: healthy skepticism as to whether it was a capture or
52:09
Speaker 1: a surrender, and understanding the power of these drug cartels,
52:19
Speaker 1: I find that there's a reasonable amount of believability into
52:23
Speaker 1: the idea that Nicholas Medoro went to this party with
52:26
Speaker 1: all these wealthy people and was spirited out, you know,
52:30
Speaker 1: ostensibly by some Tom Cruise character. There's another one. Do
52:33
Speaker 1: I really need to know about all the scientology and
52:36
Speaker 1: everything anyway? So Tom Cruise spirits him out, you know,
52:41
Speaker 1: the impossible mission force comes in, spirits him out in
52:46
Speaker 1: a helicopter so he can be spared the wrath of
52:49
Speaker 1: the drug cartel.
52:51
Speaker 26: You know, It's true, difficult times have a way of
52:54
Speaker 26: focusing us. We have to think about what matters most
52:57
Speaker 26: when it comes to our spending our healthcare. This is
52:59
Speaker 26: why so many people are joining meta share right now.
53:03
Speaker 26: Metashare is a trusted way to save up to fifty
53:06
Speaker 26: percent on your monthly healthcare costs. More than four hundred
53:09
Speaker 26: thousand people have already made the switch. It's pretty obvious
53:12
Speaker 26: why too, especially now during this challenging season with health
53:16
Speaker 26: care costs and out of pocket expenses going up. Metas
53:19
Speaker 26: Share can save you a lot of money. The typical
53:22
Speaker 26: family saves five hundred dollars a month. Meda Share works too.
53:26
Speaker 26: It's been around for thirty years. Members have shared more
53:28
Speaker 26: than five billion dollars of each other's bills. There are
53:31
Speaker 26: different options to choose from to fit your budget. I'll
53:34
Speaker 26: give you the number here in a second, and if
53:35
Speaker 26: you call, you can get a price within two minutes.
53:38
Speaker 26: Maybe now is the perfect time to make the switch
53:41
Speaker 26: and start saving. Here you go, call eight five five
53:44
Speaker 26: share forty. That's eight five five shre forty eight five
53:49
Speaker 26: five share forty
