  Speaker 7: the hill that we fight on, all right here, all
• 1:18
  Speaker 7: the things that we stand up for, all the things
• 1:23
  Speaker 7: we stand up against, came to pass. And if there's
• 1:36
  Speaker 7: a story of a life well led, And we have
• 1:42
  Speaker 7: tons of stories every day in the news of another
• 1:45
  Speaker 7: shooting victim, another predator victim, another victim of a drone attack,
• 1:52
  Speaker 7: or a pipe bomber blowing up young police officers in Moscow,
• 1:58
  Speaker 7: of people who don't live eighty ninety years, But can
• 2:06
  Speaker 7: you tell me that in your first thirty three years.
• 2:09
  Speaker 7: And this is a tough thing. I remember a priest
• 2:12
  Speaker 7: giving a pretty good sermon on how do your thirty
• 2:17
  Speaker 7: three years live up to? Oh, don't even start, because
• 2:24
  Speaker 7: it's easy. It's easy to backslide down that hill, isn't it.
• 2:28
  Speaker 7: It's easy to backslide down that hill and say, well,
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: I mean, nobody's going to live here, But what have
• 2:36
  Speaker 7: you done to try to live up to the thirty
• 2:38
  Speaker 7: three years that began in Bethlehem on this morning? And
• 2:50
  Speaker 7: if your first thirty three or your first sixty six
• 2:53
  Speaker 7: years haven't matched up, it's okay. It's not just Christmas Day?
• 2:59
  Speaker 8: What do you know?
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: And if you're new to the show, you've never heard
• 3:01
  Speaker 7: me say this. Every day is New Year's Day.
• 3:04
  Speaker 8: We all have our.
• 3:07
  Speaker 7: Oh this year I'm going to do this, and this
• 3:09
  Speaker 7: year we all have our resolutions. Today's as much New
• 3:15
  Speaker 7: Year's Day as a week from now is going to be.
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: Why not if you feel like your last thirty three
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: years haven't lived up to the thirty three years? This
• 3:24
  Speaker 7: kid from you know, born in Bethlehem, a couple of
• 3:28
  Speaker 7: taxpayers from Galilee, the hero of all step dads in
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: the world, and named Joseph.
• 3:40
  Speaker 8: By the way, today's a day to start new and
• 3:50
  Speaker 8: I'm not.
• 3:51
  Speaker 7: Saying we know we can start a movement that brings
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: down the most tyrannical, you know, dehumanizing authority Arrian state
• 4:01
  Speaker 7: known demand, not that it was born to be that way.
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: And the Romans are fairly characterized as the villains in
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: the Jesus story, but the Roman Empire by the time
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: they get to Judea had been doing this for hundreds
• 4:21
  Speaker 7: of years, and it was one of the great provable
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: points of why we try to decentralize power. And you
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: flash forward to the founding Fathers and how we tried
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: to create a nation full of representatives, not leaders, not dictators,
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: and we set aside God given rights, not just given
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: to the kid that was born in Bethlehem on this day,
• 4:56
  Speaker 7: but given to.
• 4:57
  Speaker 8: All of us.
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: To be defended and to be cherished. And I know,

• 5:24
  Speaker 7: willing to discuss a demilitarized free economy zone in the
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: Dawnbass region currently occupied by Russian troops. He said he'll
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: withdraw his soldiers if Russia withdraws theirs. He also said
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: that he hopes Vladimir Putin perishes. During his Christmas message
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: so well international affairs, President Trump used his Christmas message
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: to tout good economic data. You heard him talking to
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: a little kid on the NORAD calls certainly higher water
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: mark than let's go Brandon.
• 6:02
  Speaker 8: We have that Let's go Brandon clip somewhere, don't we.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I know.
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: I wasn't slagging Dolly. I was just saying.
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: Volatile combination you So, what is it called the Christmas
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: on the Square Netflix show? That she did that my
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: daughter loves, and I just find it illuminating that my
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: daughter finds this movie and is so incongruous, and I
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: guess that's what dads are supposed to feel like. It's like,
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: hold it, my daughter likes this. I mean, I'm lucky
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: so far. I like the guy she's dating. So I
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: guess you know you count your blessings on this Christmas morning.
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: I hope you're having a great morning too. Yes we're
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: in here, Yes we're in here right now as it's happening,
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: telling you what's going on in the world and on
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: your street, and you know, following stories like this this
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: case out of Russia where it's apparently a couple of
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: suicide attackers killing Muscovite police officers. Then the Epstein thing
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: that happened right before, I mean, this is the missiletoe
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: is hung. And the Department of Justice said, ches last
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: night needs more few more weeks, I think was the
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: phrase it used to release all of its records on
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. They discovered what they say were
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: a million, more than a million potentially relevant documents. And
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: remember you're dealing with lawyers who are preparing for being
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: a hit by lawyers. And now there's a statement that
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: there's an incident where a child was killed and Donald
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: Trump was supposedly present in this document that one of
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: the three hundred million duly deputized defense attorneys that are
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: going through these documents are looking for. So there's claims
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: that there's a bipartisan push to impeach Donald Trump simply
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: for being at this that happened where a child was killed?
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: Was it on Epstein's Island.
• 16:11
  Speaker 7: And of course you take the commentariat saying, well, that's
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: why they're withholding because now they realize that the more
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: they release, the more Donald Trump looks bad, and that's
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: why they're doing it.
• 16:21
  Speaker 8: Blah blah blah blah.
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: Blah, which actually was funny enough. Isn't really the case
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: and isn't any of the things that they said were
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: going on. I mean, and if they're coming up with
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: it's a horrific story. The death of a child is
• 16:36
  Speaker 7: out of order, horrific and it shouldn't, you know, be suborned.
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: But the document simply states some dates and places, and
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: the internet sleuths are, you know, saying, well, he was
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: here and this would happened here, and at the same
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: time he was here.
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: So he did it.
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: That's the part where the Internet becomes fun, and by fun,
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: I mean terrifying and equilibrium busting, because the Internet has
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: taken all the things that have been found out about
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: this incident where a kid died and said, well, Donald
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: Trump was there and basically equating it to Donald Trump
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: did the murder and there's a reason for it. A
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: friend of mine texted me about this. He said, is
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: this abject lunacy? I said, I know it's a less
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: extreme version, but I've seen this before. Like I said,
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: warning flags up. This is a less extreme version, but
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: Jim Crow laws like the nineteen twenty nine Act for
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: Permanent Reapportionment that cap the size of the House of
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: Representatives so the black communities wouldn't get more voice in Congress.
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: By the Dixie krect the same ones who wanted to
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: take the sendate away from the governors of the several states.
• 18:09
  Speaker 7: They they wrote in a lot of laws, a lot
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: of horrific laws, a lot of dehumanizing laws, because they
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: didn't believe blacks were the same as whites. They didn't
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: can't sugarcoat it is racist goons. That's what they believed.
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: And there's a I guess if you want to make
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: a if you really want to slice the balogney so
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: thin that it starts to look like onion skin copy paper.
• 18:39
  Speaker 8: We're all different.
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: There are people that are better than me, and it
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: has nothing to do with their ethnicity. They're just better
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: than me. And I'm better than other people and it
• 18:49
  Speaker 7: has nothing to do with my ethnicity or my gender
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: or anything else. And we all have gifts and talents
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: and we all just need to use them. So in
• 19:08
  Speaker 7: the PostScript of the Jim Crow Laws, there was something
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: in Virginia, our flagship state, called the Massive Resistance.
• 19:17
  Speaker 8: Didn't get quite.
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: The publicity because the President never called the National Guardian
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: like they did in Alabama to desegregate the schools.
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: We just closed them all.
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: We sent all the kids home, said you know what,
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: We're just going to close all the schools in Virginia.
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: It was like COVID, only with black people. So they
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: closed all the schools.
• 19:45
  Speaker 8: What too soon? Am I saying?
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: Well, have you seen the picture of Governor Ralph Northam,
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: either in blackface or a white sheet. I mean, I'm
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: just saying, google at kids, Ralph Northam blackface, just saying
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: or use duck duck go if you prefer. So, this
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: Massive Resistance closed a lot of the schools. Took a
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: long time to get it sorted, get it settled, to
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: get the schools reopened, get them desegregated. Barbara John's just
• 20:20
  Speaker 7: had a statue unveiled in the statuary hall in the
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: Capitol building from Virginia Farmville High schools still there. But
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: we had schools who were named as tributes to great
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: educators who would work through the fifties and sixties to
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: help all the kids in the community, especially the black
• 20:43
  Speaker 7: kids who were coming from very impoverished spots to earn
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: great scholarship. And they had been rewarded with this, these
• 20:54
  Speaker 7: decades of service with their names on schools, so that
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: time in memoriam would recognize that, you know, this one
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: or that one was a great educator. And we took
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: them off. You know why, not because they were racists,
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: but because they existed in the time of racists and
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: that they didn't do enough. So when you ask me
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: if this wild connections of Trump and Epstein and all
• 21:21
  Speaker 7: of this are surprising to me, it's not. If we
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: can take the name of a brilliant career, lifelong educator
• 21:29
  Speaker 7: off the side of a school because he existed in
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: the time when racist things happened and he didn't do enough.
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: By somebody's determination decades after they had passed away, we
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: can do anything, and that's not a good thing because
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: it's not sadly surprising to this humble host anymore.

  Speaker 16: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, suv, or light truck,
• 23:14
  Speaker 16: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
• 23:16
  Speaker 16: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
• 23:20
  Speaker 16: That's what you should use. But there are exceptions to
• 23:23
  Speaker 16: the rule. Many high end or luxury vehicles call for
• 23:26
  Speaker 16: premium or higher octane fuel, and the reason for this
• 23:29
  Speaker 16: is not just due to the octane rating. There are
• 23:31
  Speaker 16: better fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know too,
• 23:35
  Speaker 16: that vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
• 23:38
  Speaker 16: with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
• 23:41
  Speaker 16: their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
• 23:44
  Speaker 16: your fuel choices around say every third tank full, you
• 23:47
  Speaker 16: may find better performance and miles per gallon because you
• 23:50
  Speaker 16: are cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive.

  Speaker 3: Tunk Media Network by Joan Talman.
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: Amen to that all fired up? And you know, this
• 28:36
  Speaker 7: is the beautiful thing about Christmas is that it gives
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: us a time. And I think it's appropriate that we
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: set aside time. Somebody was complaining to me that grocery
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: stores weren't going to be open, even just for a
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: little while, and and what is the what is the
• 28:53
  Speaker 7: camel's toe under the tent flap? Where you know, where
• 28:59
  Speaker 7: is the order line? And convenience stores are open, and
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: you know, it's this amazing world full of all sorts
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: of different people making up this world we live in.
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: And so some of them can serve on Christmas, so
• 29:26
  Speaker 7: they open. There are tons of restaurants that make big
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: money catering people's Christmas dinners. Grocery store chains do it.
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: They just ask you can you pick it up before
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: Christmas Day because we're not going to be open. But
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: what is the appropriate celebration of it? You've heard me
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: before say, you know, I always worry when we make
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: something a holiday that we somehow we lose the point,
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: We miss the punchline of what we were supposed to
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: be celebrating, and maybe we do, maybe we don't. But
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: I think there's a point to be made in taking time,
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: in taking the time necessary to say, Hey, we're gonna
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: sit and we're gonna visit. We're going to be with
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: each other, whether it's on Christmas Day or just it's
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: Sunday or Tuesday, because one of the things that has
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: happened in this world that this baby was born into
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: is that we have been driven away from each other.
• 31:10
  Speaker 7: I was talking about this with my son last night,
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: and if you missed it, it's okay. Do you miss
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: a minute, you miss a lot. We podcast everything up
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: online at Joe Thomas in the Morning dot com. You
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: can find us on iHeart Media Podcasts. You can also
• 31:28
  Speaker 7: go to Apple Podcasts and Audible and Deezer, to my
• 31:35
  Speaker 7: daughter says, if I'm on it, it's got to be
• 31:36
  Speaker 7: renamed Geezer. But all these you know, Podchaser and all
• 31:41
  Speaker 7: these different Spotify podcast distribution network.
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: So if you miss.
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: Something that we refer back to, you can go back
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: and the archives as it were. But you miss a minute,
• 31:52
  Speaker 7: you miss a lot. But I had said that, you know,
• 31:56
  Speaker 7: maybe we need to not that I'm a huge of
• 32:03
  Speaker 7: warning labels per se. Maybe, just maybe we need to
• 32:10
  Speaker 7: make sure people are more aware of their behavior on
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: the Internet, being in public, and do a better job
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: of trying to find ways that we can have private conversations.
• 32:25
  Speaker 21: You know.
• 32:25
  Speaker 8: And it's funny, you know, because you talk about.
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: The signal app controversy this year and all these different
• 32:32
  Speaker 7: conversation room apps that have grown in popularity. What's interesting
• 32:40
  Speaker 7: to me is that is, to me, a commercial response
• 32:44
  Speaker 7: to what I was feeling and the confirmation that I
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: wasn't wrong that the vox popular was feeling just a
• 32:53
  Speaker 7: little too exposed on the rest of the interwebs. And
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: I think there's a peril to it. And it's a
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: game of live fast and live leave a good looking corpse,
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: or hang around for a long time and have a
• 33:08
  Speaker 7: grand overarching impact on society. And the Internet is full
• 33:13
  Speaker 7: of these mercurial pardon first day with the rented tongue,
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: this Christmas Day, mercurial moments where we, you know, live
• 33:31
  Speaker 7: for a pyrrhic attention blast and then we're gone. Rather
• 33:39
  Speaker 7: than grinding it out three yards at a time, scoring
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: the same touchdown but eating up ten minutes of the
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: game clock so your opponent doesn't have time to mount
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: a comeback.
• 33:56
  Speaker 8: I'm sorry.
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: Yes, I know there's something that passes for National Football
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: League games going on today. And I'd call them NFL
• 34:05
  Speaker 7: games if they didn't involve the Washington Comedies and the
• 34:09
  Speaker 7: Dallas Cowboys. And I'm sorry for both fan bases and
• 34:17
  Speaker 7: and but you know the metaphor is, you know, we've
• 34:21
  Speaker 7: got to be the grinded out people. We've got to
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: be the people who are who have the staying power
• 34:28
  Speaker 7: to still be in the game decades later, not just
• 34:36
  Speaker 7: flash out and on the Internet, where we're in peril
• 34:40
  Speaker 7: of allowing the government to get in and regulate this stuff.
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: When you listen to FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, who is
• 34:52
  Speaker 7: playing crampis to Donald Trump's version of Santa Claus lately,
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: he is out saying that you know, you owe us
• 35:06
  Speaker 7: all tribute because we've deigned to give you a license
• 35:14
  Speaker 7: the way Brendan Carr is purporting to. And I get it.
• 35:21
  Speaker 7: Jimmy Kimmel and these folks they're out there, they're making
• 35:23
  Speaker 7: fun of you. I don't watch it because they're making
• 35:27
  Speaker 7: fun of me, and I don't need to be made
• 35:30
  Speaker 7: fun of unless my daughter is here, and then you know,
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: that's what I had her for, keep the bubble from
• 35:36
  Speaker 7: getting too big. But I'm not going to sit there
• 35:39
  Speaker 7: and let Jimmy Kimmel make fun of me. So I'm
• 35:45
  Speaker 7: going to watch something else or nothing at all, and
• 35:48
  Speaker 7: look at the TV ratings. That's what's happening. And Brendan
• 35:52
  Speaker 7: Carr is, unfortunately, as a Trump administration employee, living out
• 36:07
  Speaker 7: the everything that you're afraid of with the authoritarian state.
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: He's out there saying that you are given this gift
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: of broadcasting. Were that true, that would be an interesting thing.
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: Like if I could just file a form and get
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: a broadcast license and fire up a transmitter. It's enormously expensive,
• 36:33
  Speaker 7: and a television station even more so. And like I said,
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: Brendan Carr is playing the role of Crampis in this
• 36:48
  Speaker 7: particular Santa story with Donald Trump riding in the front
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: of the sleigh and crampis there in the back with
• 36:56
  Speaker 7: his birch sticks. It's not his job. His job is
• 37:04
  Speaker 7: to protect our spectrum. And because everyone's you know, certainly
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: present company included pleased with so many of the things
• 37:17
  Speaker 7: that Donald Trump has done, we're tempted to ignore, or
• 37:26
  Speaker 7: if somebody brings up hey, you listen to Brendan Carr
• 37:29
  Speaker 7: talk Hey over the rails a little bit because they're like, yeah,
• 37:36
  Speaker 7: but you said bad things about Trump, even Trump last
• 37:39
  Speaker 7: night saying that they should lose their licenses. No, they shouldn't,
• 37:50
  Speaker 7: they should lose their audience because it's bad programming. That's
• 37:54
  Speaker 7: how the marketplace works. Don't let the Marxists even in
• 37:58
  Speaker 7: the Republican Party.
• 38:01
  Speaker 17: Can you believe with all the recent violent protests, looting,
• 38:05
  Speaker 17: and destruction, some areas are considering either defunding or abolishing
• 38:09
  Speaker 17: the police. At a time when America's neighborhoods need the
• 38:13
  Speaker 17: protection of police the most, some elected officials would rather
• 38:17
  Speaker 17: create more chaos by playing politics. If you're sick of

  Speaker 4: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our

  Speaker 4: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any

• 39:27
  Speaker 4: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

  Speaker 26: not only in all of their beauty and kindness, but

  Speaker 26: also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds

  Speaker 2: M First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk media.
• 44:17
  Speaker 7: Networ Living Color Even remember happened to the good old
• 44:26
  Speaker 7: days when the Nazis could be a punchline?
• 44:30
  Speaker 8: Huh h.
• 44:37
  Speaker 7: I bring this up in the in the context of
• 44:41
  Speaker 7: this Brendan Carr uh, Donald Trump sort of doing their
• 44:46
  Speaker 7: Santa Claus and crampist thing, and President Trump yesterday on
• 44:55
  Speaker 7: Air Force one.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: Edwork television. There is a licensing. I'll give you an example.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: I've read someplace that the networks were ninety seven percent
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: against me. I get ninety seven percent negative, and yet
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: I won and easily when all seven spake stays popular
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: but won everything. And if they're ninety seven percent against,
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: they give you holy bedoblicening to oppress.
• 45:23
  Speaker 27: I mean they're getting a license. I would think maybe
• 45:27
  Speaker 27: their license should be taken away. It will be up
• 45:30
  Speaker 27: to Brendan car. I think Brendan car is outstanding. He's
• 45:33
  Speaker 27: a patriot, he loves our country, and he's a tough guy.
• 45:38
  Speaker 7: Mister President, I know that you've participated in television for
• 45:42
  Speaker 7: a very long time, but there's some realities you don't understand.
• 45:47
  Speaker 8: Numbers Number one.
• 45:49
  Speaker 7: Your point about their viewership is exactly why they're struggling.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: The networks were ninety seven percent against me negative, and
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: yet I would easily won.
• 46:04
  Speaker 7: So market research should say they're not serving their audience.
• 46:11
  Speaker 7: That's fair. The marketplace will punish you. Now, we have
• 46:20
  Speaker 7: monopoly rules. We have rules about controlling a marketplace monopolistically,
• 46:29
  Speaker 7: which ironically Brendan Carr is trying to knock down and
• 46:34
  Speaker 7: allow TV operators to own all the TV stations in
• 46:39
  Speaker 7: of city. So let's say, you know, I don't pick
• 46:44
  Speaker 7: one Gray Television could own all the TV stations. So
• 46:49
  Speaker 7: if they were to allow their political bent to control
• 46:54
  Speaker 7: their programming, and they're humans, they could suffer for that
• 47:00
  Speaker 7: loss of all of their audience by broadcasting things they
• 47:05
  Speaker 7: don't want to see.
• 47:09
  Speaker 8: And I bring this up in the.
• 47:10
  Speaker 7: Connection of the idea of the Internet being the town square,
• 47:14
  Speaker 7: because that's become a popular thing. And when Brendan Carr
• 47:17
  Speaker 7: said earlier this week that he was looking at cable
• 47:32
  Speaker 7: operators and podcasters and all these other things that reign
• 47:37
  Speaker 7: with impunity can say whatever they want. I heard an
• 47:43
  Speaker 7: all too familiar refrain instead of The most recent familiarity
• 47:52
  Speaker 7: is in the case of the homestay industry, because the
• 47:56
  Speaker 7: government was treating hoteliers very badly, taxing an awful lot,
• 48:01
  Speaker 7: taxing them on their income, taxing them on their rooms,
• 48:04
  Speaker 7: taxing them on their employees, taxing and taxing and tAxiom,
• 48:09
  Speaker 7: and then saying we need a stumb city so that
• 48:12
  Speaker 7: we can get more tourism. How about you stop treating
• 48:15
  Speaker 7: your hotelers like a bad word that rhymes with the
• 48:22
  Speaker 7: word witch. But instead they say, oh, well, these people
• 48:27
  Speaker 7: who are doing homestay, well, they're ripping off the hotelers
• 48:30
  Speaker 7: that we're already ripping off. So instead of stopping ripping
• 48:33
  Speaker 7: off the hotelers, how about we rip off the homestay
• 48:36
  Speaker 7: people more. And the hoteliers are all involved, they're like, yeah, yeah,
• 48:42
  Speaker 7: go punish them too, mostly because hotelers have bigger accounting
• 48:46
  Speaker 7: departments at Hilton or Marriott bonvoi bonvoy is an ancient
• 48:53
  Speaker 7: Greek word for big accounting firm, and they can fold
• 48:57
  Speaker 7: in the cost of compliance to all this government stuff
• 49:00
  Speaker 7: if it keeps the homestay people from knittering at their nabobs.
• 49:07
  Speaker 7: The marketplace is always too slow for the progressive authoritarian.
• 49:14
  Speaker 7: And here's why you're like, but Trump. Okay, yeah, I
• 49:19
  Speaker 7: get it, but Trump. I'm going to read you a
• 49:21
  Speaker 7: poem written by another Jew as we celebrate this Jewish
• 49:26
  Speaker 7: kid's birthday today. Tell me if you've heard me read
• 49:31
  Speaker 7: this poem before. First they came for the communists, and
• 49:36
  Speaker 7: I did not speak out because I was not a communist.
• 49:41
  Speaker 7: Then they came for the socialists, and I did not
• 49:44
  Speaker 7: speak out because I was not a socialist. Then they
• 49:48
  Speaker 7: came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak
• 49:52
  Speaker 7: out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they
• 49:56
  Speaker 7: came for the Jews, and I did not speak out
• 49:59
  Speaker 7: because I was not a Jew. And then they came
• 50:03
  Speaker 7: for me, and there was no one left to speak
• 50:06
  Speaker 7: out for me. This is what we have to realize
• 50:15
  Speaker 7: when we're trying to do reparational governance. Sure, the networks
• 50:22
  Speaker 7: were all badly biased against Donald Trump, and he won anyway,
• 50:27
  Speaker 7: and the networks are losing. It was pointed out to
• 50:31
  Speaker 7: me that a lot of these networks don't need advertising revenue.
• 50:36
  Speaker 7: They're paid for by corporate interests who pay for a
• 50:40
  Speaker 7: half an hour block of the news, brought to you
• 50:44
  Speaker 7: by pharmac Now we have an expos a on why
• 50:50
  Speaker 7: everyone should get a vaccine each day, brought to you
• 50:54
  Speaker 7: by Pharmaco. Not this report, but the whole newscast. Now
• 50:57
  Speaker 7: i'll tell you the sports. And you're supposed to not
• 51:01
  Speaker 7: be engaged enough to notice that the pharmacy company that
• 51:05
  Speaker 7: wants you to take take a vaccine in a day
• 51:10
  Speaker 7: as long as your health insurance covers it. And you've
• 51:12
  Speaker 7: you've checked all the boxes because the health insurance wants
• 51:15
  Speaker 7: you to take the vaccine every day so that they don't,
• 51:18
  Speaker 7: you know, and if you don't, then they don't have
• 51:20
  Speaker 7: to cover you. We do the wrong things to fix
• 51:26
  Speaker 7: the right things for the wrong reasons, and we're still
• 51:31
  Speaker 7: better than every place else in the world. But don't
• 51:34
  Speaker 7: do this because I don't want the FCC chair or
• 51:44
  Speaker 7: of of Brendan, not Brendan, Gavin Newsome, or the FCC
• 51:51
  Speaker 7: chair chosen by President Abigail span Burger. And there's some
• 51:56
  Speaker 7: irony in this whole Abigail span Burger for president and
• 51:59
  Speaker 7: stuff that I think is funny. They're already starting to
• 52:03
  Speaker 7: include her in polls. But I digress. The reason Brendan
• 52:08
  Speaker 7: Carr has to be stopped in this is not because
• 52:11
  Speaker 7: of Trump or Brendan Carr. Although the haters and bads
• 52:16
  Speaker 7: and the press will say, oh, look, maga talk show
• 52:19
  Speaker 7: host turns on Trump. I'm not turning on Trump. I
• 52:21
  Speaker 7: want Trump to hear me and understand why he is
• 52:24
  Speaker 7: mistaken in this. And it's not for the wrong reason.
• 52:28
  Speaker 7: I get why he feels this way. But let the
• 52:36
  Speaker 7: marketplace punish these people. It's bad programming and nobody is watching,
• 52:44
  Speaker 7: and eventually the sponsors and sorrows in company will find
• 52:49
  Speaker 7: something else to sponsor.
• 52:51
  Speaker 24: You know, It's true. Difficult times have a way of
• 52:54
  Speaker 24: focusing us. We have to think about what matters most
• 52:57
  Speaker 24: when it comes to our spending our healthcare. This is
• 52:59
  Speaker 24: why so many people are joining meta share right now.
• 53:03
  Speaker 24: Metashare is a trusted way to save up to fifty
• 53:06
  Speaker 24: percent on your monthly healthcare costs. More than four hundred
• 53:09
  Speaker 24: thousand people have already made the switch. It's pretty obvious
• 53:12
  Speaker 24: why too, especially now during this challenging season with health
• 53:16
  Speaker 24: care costs and out of pocket expenses going up. Metas
• 53:19
  Speaker 24: Share can save you a lot of money. The typical
• 53:22
  Speaker 24: family saves five hundred dollars a month. Meda Share works too.
• 53:26
  Speaker 24: It's been around for thirty years. Members have shared more
• 53:28
  Speaker 24: than five billion dollars of each other's bills. There are
• 53:31
  Speaker 24: different options to choose from to fit your budget. I'll
• 53:34
  Speaker 24: give you the number here in a second, and if
• 53:35
  Speaker 24: you call, you can get a price within two minutes.
• 53:38
  Speaker 24: Maybe now is the perfect time to make the switch
• 53:41
  Speaker 24: and start saving.
• 53:42
  Speaker 8: Here you go call eight five five Share forty.
• 53:45
  Speaker 24: That's eight five five share forty, eight five five share
• 53:50
  Speaker 24: forty
