"Conspiracy or Just a Freak?" (Wednesday, February 18, 2026, Hour 4) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:02
Speaker 1: Client and morn magineality America.
0:07
Speaker 2: I'm making mornings great again. First thing today on the
0:11
Speaker 2: Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
0:34
Speaker 1: Welcome to a ted sty the Talk Media Network. The
0:38
Speaker 1: day we celebrate God's gifts to you, your expertise in
0:42
Speaker 1: applying them to a grateful constituency who rewards you. Just
0:47
Speaker 1: leave for it and then you don't need to worry
0:49
Speaker 1: about what all the people say and what the search
0:51
Speaker 1: results are. By the way, I checked again, if if
0:57
Speaker 1: you search the Epstein files in the department of just
1:00
Speaker 1: this website for Joe Thomas, you find only one document,
1:04
Speaker 1: and even in that case it is a somebody named
1:08
Speaker 1: Joe and then later in the document somebody named Thomas,
1:12
Speaker 1: so it is not me. You only get one result
1:16
Speaker 1: if you search Joe Thomas. But you know when you
1:18
Speaker 1: do it, you get that moment of uh, oh okay,
1:23
Speaker 1: it's not what you think. But in this, in this
1:27
Speaker 1: McCarthy esque era that I believe is intentional, while you
1:33
Speaker 1: are all trying to affix the appropriate scarlet letters to
1:39
Speaker 1: people who participated with Jeffrey Epstein, and we can sully
1:44
Speaker 1: the reputation of people who didn't or may have been
1:48
Speaker 1: associated in other ways like, oh, I don't know cooking
1:51
Speaker 1: food for catering events, and we know that the American
1:56
Speaker 1: left wants to cancel you if you didn't do enough,
2:02
Speaker 1: even if you'd had no idea, Even if you had
2:05
Speaker 1: no idea. He owned a mansion next to Jeffrey Epstein's house,
2:08
Speaker 1: he didn't do enough. Round him up as well. It's
2:12
Speaker 1: like January sixth, only without people spending eight months, nine months,
2:17
Speaker 1: ten months in a jail cell, without ever seeing a lawyer,
2:21
Speaker 1: never mind the inside of any courtrooms there. James Peterson
2:25
Speaker 1: and there are two things that are of most concern
2:28
Speaker 1: to me about this mania. Number one is we're avoiding
2:32
Speaker 1: the key question, which is what was Jeffrey Epstein doing
2:36
Speaker 1: with all these famous people? Is it simply he was
2:42
Speaker 1: making money from them? If so, why isn't there more
2:46
Speaker 1: about the influence peddling he was doing. Because there's obviously influence.
2:54
Speaker 1: He wouldn't be filming there are cameras everywhere, So what
2:59
Speaker 1: in influence was he using? And what four? Since apparently,
3:05
Speaker 1: according to those in the media, it wasn't for anything
3:09
Speaker 1: to do with corrupting political decisions, No, no note at all.
3:13
Speaker 1: It's also normally normalizing the idea of young people and
3:20
Speaker 1: sexual encounters. James Peterson writes in Joe, can we subpoena
3:25
Speaker 1: the member roles of Nambola and compare them to the
3:29
Speaker 1: Epstein files? Onwards into our first things Today? The transman
3:36
Speaker 1: who opened fired and killed a woman and an adult
3:41
Speaker 1: child of his at a hockey game in Rhode Island
3:45
Speaker 1: had also shot the woman's women's parents who were in hospital,
3:52
Speaker 1: and a family friend, Thomas Garuso. The shooter took his
3:56
Speaker 1: own life. Robert dorgan also known by the names ROBERTA
4:01
Speaker 1: Esposito and ROBERTA Dorgano. Nancy Guthrie's family apparently has become
4:09
Speaker 1: the subject of several media inquiries. Pima County Sheriff Chris
4:13
Speaker 1: Nanos said Monday that there is no connection and none
4:17
Speaker 1: of the Guthrie family are suspects. Crews pushed through mountain
4:25
Speaker 1: wilderness and so far have rescued six of fifteen missing
4:29
Speaker 1: skiers in the area near Lake Tahoe, Tahoe after a
4:34
Speaker 1: blizzard came in and buried it under many feet of snow.
4:38
Speaker 1: Iran has closed the Straits of Hormuz. It's only where
4:44
Speaker 1: twenty percent of the world's oil passes through. They're holding
4:48
Speaker 1: live fire military operations and therefore the Straits are closed
4:54
Speaker 1: to all that oil traffic while they're negotiating their nuclear
4:59
Speaker 1: treaty with the United Slime States. United States also has
5:03
Speaker 1: envoys in Geneva to meet with leaders of Russia and
5:07
Speaker 1: the Ukraine to discuss who's going to blink first in
5:12
Speaker 1: their brinksmanship over territories taken by Russia in the approaching
5:17
Speaker 1: four year old invasion. Remember that was only supposed to
5:21
Speaker 1: last two or three weeks. The Vatican announced that Pope
5:25
Speaker 1: Leo the fourteenth has declined President Trump's invitation to join
5:30
Speaker 1: the Board of Peace overseeing the rebuild of Gaza, opting
5:35
Speaker 1: rather to stick with the United Nations and all the
5:37
Speaker 1: success they have had over the past fifty years in
5:41
Speaker 1: the area. And the Justice Department has new subpoenas regarding
5:45
Speaker 1: the Steele dossier and Russia collusion involving folks involved in

Speaker 6: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
8:07
Speaker 6: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi'm
8:13
Speaker 6: doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized
8:19
Speaker 6: curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program.
8:24
Speaker 6: It makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation
8:28
Speaker 6: is a key component to our overall health. The Mayo
8:32
Speaker 6: Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation has
8:37
Speaker 6: antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent cancer
8:43
Speaker 6: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
8:46
Speaker 6: many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy
8:51
Speaker 6: cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where we

9:02
Speaker 7: I'm Andrew Saul, Commission of Self Security. I'm here to
9:05
Speaker 7: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
9:10
Speaker 7: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
9:13
Speaker 7: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
9:17
Speaker 7: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
9:21
Speaker 7: are not from US. Real solid security employees will never
9:26
Speaker 7: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
9:29
Speaker 7: call like this, hang up. Never give the call of
9:33
Speaker 7: your personal information like your Social Security number or bank account,
9:38
Speaker 7: or send money in any form cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
9:42
Speaker 7: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
9:46
Speaker 7: enforcement on the Office of the Inspector General at OIG
9:51
Speaker 7: dot SSA dot gov. Share this information with your friends
9:56
Speaker 7: and family.
9:58
Speaker 8: Hi, everybody, I'm Jackman. It's always a boy growing up
10:01
Speaker 8: on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
10:04
Speaker 8: I'm not only in all of their beauty and kindness,
10:06
Speaker 8: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
10:09
Speaker 8: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
10:12
Speaker 8: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
10:15
Speaker 8: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
10:18
Speaker 8: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
10:21
Speaker 8: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
10:23
Speaker 8: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
10:26
Speaker 8: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
10:29
Speaker 8: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
10:32
Speaker 8: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
10:35
Speaker 8: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
10:38
Speaker 8: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
10:41
Speaker 8: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
10:44
Speaker 8: variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
10:46
Speaker 8: help those in need. So please join me an American
10:49
Speaker 8: Humane and supporting our heroic working dogs and all the
10:52
Speaker 8: amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go to
10:55
Speaker 8: American Humane dot org to learn more.
11:00
Speaker 9: Bruh, that's buzzed. Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
11:05
Speaker 10: And now a speech.
11:07
Speaker 11: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
11:10
Speaker 11: art and brain.
11:12
Speaker 1: Who's with me?
11:13
Speaker 12: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed.
11:15
Speaker 1: And my brain is saying when it's time to go home.
11:18
Speaker 1: Somebody call me a ride.
11:19
Speaker 13: Love that guy, me too.
11:21
Speaker 14: Know your buzzed warning signs. Call for a ride when
11:24
Speaker 14: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
11:29
Speaker 3: Did you know that more than half our household energy
11:31
Speaker 3: costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
11:35
Speaker 3: good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
11:39
Speaker 3: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
11:42
Speaker 3: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
11:46
Speaker 3: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
11:49
Speaker 3: That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
11:53
Speaker 3: leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
11:56
Speaker 3: improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
12:00
Speaker 3: when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
12:02
Speaker 3: energy Star logo and read the energy guide label. And
12:06
Speaker 3: there are day to day things you can do. Lower
12:09
Speaker 3: your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,
12:12
Speaker 3: close fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep
12:15
Speaker 3: air filters clean. For more tips on saving money by

Speaker 3: reducing your energy waste, check out FTC dot gov slash green,

Speaker 15: As a family member or friend, you may be the
12:32
Speaker 15: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
12:35
Speaker 15: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
12:40
Speaker 15: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern,
12:44
Speaker 15: but help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories

13:11
Speaker 2: News and analysis now without artificial colors. First Thing Today
13:16
Speaker 2: by Joe Thomas on the TNK Media Network.
13:20
Speaker 1: Hey you for joining us on this Ted Steam morning. Well,
13:27
Speaker 1: we tell you what went on last night, and we
13:30
Speaker 1: will tell you certainly how we analyze the evidence left
13:33
Speaker 1: behind at the crime scene. But I also want to
13:35
Speaker 1: hear how it's impacting you where you are, and you
13:38
Speaker 1: can do it through text message at four three four
13:41
Speaker 1: eight eight two four two one seven very popular. There.
13:46
Speaker 1: We'll get some of the text and a little bit
13:51
Speaker 1: hamp and Bob and Jason, a bunch of folks with
13:55
Speaker 1: some great texts about the Overton window normalization of discussions
14:01
Speaker 1: of pedophilia and adult was it a minor attracted persons
14:09
Speaker 1: and you're working in a margin where you just need
14:11
Speaker 1: one percent, and that one percent then becomes five percent.
14:15
Speaker 1: Remember remember a time when somebody like this Robert Dorgan
14:20
Speaker 1: was considered just a cross dresser. He didn't have an agenda,
14:26
Speaker 1: he didn't have a lifestyle. It takes, for example, the
14:29
Speaker 1: guy and I forget his name, but he plays the
14:32
Speaker 1: the serial killer in Silence of the Lambs. He's a
14:38
Speaker 1: character actor. I've seen him a couple of other things,
14:40
Speaker 1: but he's most famous as whatever, the serial killer that
14:45
Speaker 1: kidnaps the girl in the van that Hannibal Lecter has
14:49
Speaker 1: to help Claric find. And he has now denounced the
14:57
Speaker 1: movie because of the way it depicts trans people. This
15:06
Speaker 1: is like the Queen, the founding mother of Woke, who
15:10
Speaker 1: is Molly Ringwald, when she denounced the Breakfast Club because
15:17
Speaker 1: of what she has determined that other people have told
15:20
Speaker 1: her are bad stereotypes that it suborned. So a so
15:28
Speaker 1: with that, this email comes in and I appreciate this email.
15:31
Speaker 1: This is a Jerry. It's a long time caller, first
15:35
Speaker 1: time listener. No, I'm sorry to flip that, Jerry says, Joe,
15:39
Speaker 1: I've heard you say frequently that you try to take
15:46
Speaker 1: an opponent's an opposition view on most controversies. That generally speaking,
15:51
Speaker 1: you found that the simple answer I believe you say
15:57
Speaker 1: the mundane is often more likely the case. Am I correct,
16:02
Speaker 1: Yes you are, he said. If so, then what is
16:06
Speaker 1: all this mania about Epstein being a government operative parentheses?
16:15
Speaker 1: Be it I six CIA or MASAD. Why couldn't it
16:20
Speaker 1: be the FSU. Remember we told you the story about
16:23
Speaker 1: this FSU or FSB. FSU is Florida State University. But
16:31
Speaker 1: this Russian State policeman, the FSB officer that was, that's
16:38
Speaker 1: all over the Epstein files working him. Jeffrey Epstein wants
16:42
Speaker 1: to hang with Vlad the Invader. But I get what
16:50
Speaker 1: you're saying. You're saying, well, Joe, you're upset, And what
16:53
Speaker 1: I'm really upset with is not that more people aren't
16:56
Speaker 1: making a big deal about Jeffrey Epstein, the government ad
17:00
Speaker 1: that was corrupting our officials and forcing them to make
17:04
Speaker 1: bad decisions. Like a Bond villain might. My concern is
17:09
Speaker 1: more that why isn't anyone asking? That seems to me
17:13
Speaker 1: to be the bigger problem, because if there was no
17:18
Speaker 1: there there, we would ask an answer I get, and
17:23
Speaker 1: I am the person who will often say, why isn't
17:27
Speaker 1: the mundane the answer? Why isn't Jeffrey Epstein a pervert?
17:32
Speaker 1: And who's discovered a world full of perverts? Why isn't
17:42
Speaker 1: he simply just an elitist goon from a world full
17:45
Speaker 1: of elitist goons who viewed the rest of humanity as
17:49
Speaker 1: nothing other than play toys. Nothing says he isn't. And
17:54
Speaker 1: I am very much that guy that believes the mundane
17:58
Speaker 1: is more frequently than not the answer. But I want
18:03
Speaker 1: somebody under oath to say, hey, was Jeffrey Epstein using
18:10
Speaker 1: all this information he gathered about whether you know it's
18:13
Speaker 1: the artist formerly known as Prince of York or Bill
18:17
Speaker 1: Clinton or Hillary Clinton? And again, the connection with the
18:21
Speaker 1: FSB operative and Jeffrey Epstein and Hillary Clinton, it becomes
18:26
Speaker 1: a little bit of a hold it there's a real
18:30
Speaker 1: Russian collusion going on in twenty six Surely no, I
18:36
Speaker 1: just wanted to be asked under oath. I just wanted
18:43
Speaker 1: to be a matter of the public record, beyond you
18:50
Speaker 1: and me and the four walls. That's all. I just
18:57
Speaker 1: want somebody to say on the public record, Hey, all
19:01
Speaker 1: these Congress people, Pam Bondy there, Jim Jordan, hello, Jim
19:11
Speaker 1: Roz was asking, you know, where are they? I don't
19:14
Speaker 1: care if it's a Democrat or a Republican. Somebody asked,
19:17
Speaker 1: Pam Bondy, hey, is there any evidence that Jeffrey Epstein
19:21
Speaker 1: was manipulating any of these powerful people, all these personal
19:33
Speaker 1: matters that he's you know, in these emails talking about.
19:41
Speaker 1: There's a memo from the Trump administration stating there's no
19:45
Speaker 1: credible evidence that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals, but it doesn't
19:50
Speaker 1: go into detail on how they came to that conclusion.
20:06
Speaker 1: But you're right, Jerry, absolutely. I am the guy that
20:09
Speaker 1: says it's more likely than not that Jeffrey Epstein is
20:12
Speaker 1: an elitist goon from a world full of elitist goons
20:15
Speaker 1: that see the rest of us as nothing more than
20:18
Speaker 1: toys for them to play with. And Gallaine Maxwell and
20:22
Speaker 1: her daddy the quote newspaper publisher slash m I five
20:29
Speaker 1: operative they just view the rest of us as play
20:36
Speaker 1: toys for them. That's fine, and I get it. I
20:40
Speaker 1: understand that the other side of it is, like I said, societally,
20:46
Speaker 1: we are being dragged into this world where we're normalizing
20:49
Speaker 1: this kind of behavior. This one comes in. Before I
20:54
Speaker 1: had ever heard of the Overton window, I realized that
20:57
Speaker 1: society seemed to move towards the least liberal direction in
21:01
Speaker 1: a ratcheting way. Remember the Ten Commandments being removed in Alabama.
21:07
Speaker 1: I remember it very well. I actually grabbed the woman
21:10
Speaker 1: who was behind that, Margaret Downey from the Free Thought Society.
21:16
Speaker 1: She was the one battling Judge Moore over the Ten Commandments.
21:20
Speaker 1: I actually had her in studio, made her walk out.
21:22
Speaker 1: It's one of my proudest moments. Is there a way
21:26
Speaker 1: to release the ratchet holding pin through movement? But human
21:30
Speaker 1: nature tends to turn into that ratchet eventually. As you've stated,
21:36
Speaker 1: I think Trump, the Trump administration, especially version two, has
21:41
Speaker 1: done more to drag the Overton window to the right.
21:45
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk did quite a bit towards pulling the Overton
21:48
Speaker 1: window back to to the right and towards the center.
21:55
Speaker 1: But you know most people don't because oh I don't
21:58
Speaker 1: want to tell people what to do.
22:01
Speaker 17: Let's see if something costs less but people are happier
22:05
Speaker 17: with it. That sounds like something to look into, and
22:07
Speaker 17: that is meta Share. Maybe you've heard switching to meta
22:10
Speaker 17: share to pay for healthcare can save many families up
22:13
Speaker 17: to five hundred bucks a month, and that is huge.
22:15
Speaker 17: But it's also true that people are way more satisfied
22:18
Speaker 17: after making the switch too. The members satisfaction rate for
22:21
Speaker 17: meta share is double that of the typical health insurance plan. Double.
22:25
Speaker 17: Meta share works too. It's been around for thirty years.
22:28
Speaker 17: Members have shared more than five billion dollars of each
22:31
Speaker 17: other's bills. People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide
22:34
Speaker 17: PPO network. So yeah, really you can save a ton
22:37
Speaker 17: and like it better. Imagine being happy with how you're
22:40
Speaker 17: taking care of your health care. So if you're self
22:41
Speaker 17: employed or part of the gig economy, or you just
22:43

28:37
Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us on this, Ted Stay. I
28:44
Speaker 1: believe Ted paid those kids who sang along in that
28:48
Speaker 1: song better than Pink Floyd did, because I think there's
28:52
Speaker 1: still a lawsuit going on. Apparently the kids were barely
28:55
Speaker 1: paid any sort of anything for their singing, and the
29:00
Speaker 1: own the wall, and the school is trying to get
29:03
Speaker 1: money for it or the parents are somebody issuing somebody
29:06
Speaker 1: for it. There children, children, and what is their role?
29:13
Speaker 1: And Ellen just found the Journal of American Academy of
29:18
Speaker 1: Psychiatry and Law. There's a page turner for you. Sends
29:25
Speaker 1: this link in to me at JT in the Morning
29:32
Speaker 1: Radio at gmail dot com. Ellen, we got to get
29:35
Speaker 1: you some fiction to read. So John lecarry the Journal
29:42
Speaker 1: of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law. The
29:46
Speaker 1: title of the article she sent the Pedophilia and Orientation
29:52
Speaker 1: Debate and its Implications on Forensic Psychiatry by J. Paul Federoff,
30:01
Speaker 1: originally published in the Journal of the American Academy of
30:04
Speaker 1: Psychiatry in twenty twenty. By its nature, the field of
30:10
Speaker 1: forensic psychiatry demands attention to and integration of both mental
30:15
Speaker 1: health and legal perspectives. Again, here we go into just
30:20
Speaker 1: because something's wrong doesn't make it illegal. Sometimes important distinctions
30:26
Speaker 1: come down to the perspective adopted, the method employed, or
30:30
Speaker 1: even single words. This editorial reviews a controversial subject in forensics, sexology,
30:38
Speaker 1: to illustrate general concerns of potential interest to all forensic psychiatrists,
30:47
Speaker 1: whether or not pedophilia is a sexual orientation. I'm not
30:53
Speaker 1: going to go into the rest of the article, but
30:55
Speaker 1: these are the warning flags that were even discussing whether
31:00
Speaker 1: or not it's just a sexual orientation like being gay.
31:09
Speaker 1: This is what I mean about the normalization of Epstein.
31:14
Speaker 1: Epstein has dragged these conversations into a place where instead
31:18
Speaker 1: of just saying, oh my god, you did what. Because
31:22
Speaker 1: keep in mind, society, as long as there has been
31:27
Speaker 1: a society has had an age of majority, an age
31:32
Speaker 1: at which point you enter the society. In most more
31:41
Speaker 1: structured European societies, prior to the Great Devolution of the
31:46
Speaker 1: twenty twenties, it was are you in school or not?
31:53
Speaker 1: That was generally those if you left school. Then you
31:57
Speaker 1: are accepting the role as an adult in the world
32:00
Speaker 1: requires you to pay your way. You know all the
32:04
Speaker 1: laws would apply in theocratic societies. There are tests, there
32:14
Speaker 1: are lessons you have to study to make communion or
32:20
Speaker 1: get bar mitzvah. And those are the church communities saying
32:25
Speaker 1: you are now aware of your role in the community.
32:31
Speaker 1: You can now join the adults. Prior to that, you're
32:35
Speaker 1: on another plane. You are amongst the children. You are
32:41
Speaker 1: still learning what society means and wants from you. And
32:46
Speaker 1: to purport to treat you as an adult as an abomination.
32:51
Speaker 1: It's a pretty straightforward thing, isn't it. But we have,
32:57
Speaker 1: again in our hubris, created this idea that we are
33:03
Speaker 1: smarter than everyone who went before us, just because they
33:09
Speaker 1: went before us, just because they didn't have smartphones or
33:13
Speaker 1: they didn't have telephones, they didn't have writing paper, we're
33:21
Speaker 1: not smarter than them. And the problem with the people
33:26
Speaker 1: who think they're smarter than all the people who have
33:29
Speaker 1: created thousand year old generational norms is that they're trying
33:35
Speaker 1: to pervert intentionally chosen word for their own corruption intentionally
33:43
Speaker 1: chosen word. And it's not just kids, it's everything I
33:50
Speaker 1: don't believe in that, so it doesn't exist. I don't
33:54
Speaker 1: believe in that loss, so it doesn't apply to me.
33:56
Speaker 1: Is the attitude that these people have. So Jerry's email
34:00
Speaker 1: very apt about what he might Jeffrey Epstein and his
34:04
Speaker 1: cronies may have just been freaks and therefore, you know,
34:16
Speaker 1: maybe the corruption was just hey, i'll keep your secret
34:19
Speaker 1: if you keep mine, And there wasn't anything more to
34:23
Speaker 1: it than that I'm a perv. You're a perv where
34:27
Speaker 1: all pervs wouldn't you want to come to my island
34:30
Speaker 1: to be a pervert? Meet doctor pervert? And I mock
34:37
Speaker 1: in this way because we need the world to realize
34:40
Speaker 1: these people are predators and they went to this guy's
34:49
Speaker 1: world if for no other reason than the anonymity of
34:54
Speaker 1: getting your freak on. So all the Hillary Clinton, well,
35:00
Speaker 1: there was a law written and therefore and not answering
35:04
Speaker 1: the question and obviuse skating all across the spectrum in
35:11
Speaker 1: her BBC interview.
35:12
Speaker 19: Didn't know him. The former president says he knew him
35:16
Speaker 19: before his crimes came to light. But there are also
35:19
Speaker 19: associations with Galeine Maxwell, including in twenty thirteen when she
35:24
Speaker 19: was a guest at a Clinton Global Initiative event, years
35:29
Speaker 19: after allegations had emerged against her. What I want to
35:33
Speaker 19: know is do you regret the links that there have
35:37
Speaker 19: been between Epstein, Maxwell and the Clinton family.
35:41
Speaker 20: Well, let me start by saying that.
35:45
Speaker 1: A law was passed in Congress which has nothing to
35:48
Speaker 1: do with the answer. Blessedly, the BBC interviewer comes back
35:53
Speaker 1: to it.
35:53
Speaker 20: But man, it's just to require that all the files
35:58
Speaker 20: that have anything to do with them be released. And
36:03
Speaker 20: what we're seeing, I think it's fair to say, is
36:05
Speaker 20: a continuing cover up by the Trump administration.
36:08
Speaker 1: The only administration to actually release any of the documents,
36:11
Speaker 1: but they're the ones doing the cover up. If you
36:20
Speaker 1: don't drag these kind of behaviors, whatever your view of
36:25
Speaker 1: them are, they're out into the public square and punish them.
36:29
Speaker 1: If there are not jail sentences, and I don't mean
36:32
Speaker 1: you know, oh he did five months, or he paid
36:37
Speaker 1: a fine or whatever. If there are not those kind
36:43
Speaker 1: of convictions, you're just going to get more people like
36:51
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein. They and maybe they aren't just going to
36:57
Speaker 1: be freaks. They're going to be hey, you know, we
37:00
Speaker 1: could Jeffrey missed the boat and he didn't really manipulate
37:04
Speaker 1: these guys. Maybe he just wanted to make money, and
37:08
Speaker 1: his connection to all these famous people and these well
37:13
Speaker 1: positioned people was to make himself money. Like I said,
37:17
Speaker 1: Like Jerry's email said, I am the one who will
37:20
Speaker 1: always run to the mundane answer. Maybe he just thought,
37:24
Speaker 1: you know, I've got all these people, I've corrupted them.
37:26
Speaker 1: They can tell me when stock IPOs are going to
37:30
Speaker 1: happen before they happen. Therefore I can make more money
37:36
Speaker 1: than everyone else. It's a perfectly reasonable, mundane thing to
37:43
Speaker 1: cover up. But what we've done is we have stopped
37:47
Speaker 1: taking this behavior out and dragging it into the town
37:51
Speaker 1: square and say this is horrific, this is barbaric, and
37:56
Speaker 1: this cannot be allowed to go unpunished.

Speaker 9: In twenty twenty four, the American Heart Association celebrates one
38:05

Speaker 9: still kills more people in the United States each year
38:14
Speaker 9: than all types of cancer combined, but more than half
38:17
Speaker 9: of Americans are unaware of this fact, according to a
38:20
Speaker 9: recent Harris Pole survey conducted for the American Heart Association. However,
38:25
Speaker 9: the majority of heart disease is preventable. New research has
38:28
Speaker 9: improved the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of heart disease and
38:32
Speaker 9: its risk factors. Efforts led by the American Heart Association
38:35
Speaker 9: have reduced deaths from heart disease by half over the

Speaker 1: This Tendnesday morning. Thank you for letting us be of
44:23
Speaker 1: service to you so much and your interactions four three
44:28
Speaker 1: four eighty two four two one seven.
44:35
Speaker 4: So Eric and I have direct.
44:42
Speaker 23: Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy's been
44:46
Speaker 23: talked about for years. You're asking, we have Texas, we
44:50
Speaker 23: have this, we have all of the things, and are
44:53
Speaker 23: people still talking about this guy, this creep.
44:58
Speaker 4: Yes.
44:58
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, mister President, many of us have to because otherwise
45:04
Speaker 1: it's going to leave the narrative to too many other people.
45:09
Speaker 1: But there's so much, you know that you have to
45:12
Speaker 1: watch for. And one of the things that's been a
45:16
Speaker 1: particular concern to me is the witch hunt that this
45:20
Speaker 1: has become January sixth without the incarcerations, and that distracts
45:28
Speaker 1: from finding out the actual questions because now we don't
45:32
Speaker 1: want to ask the questions because if we ask the questions,
45:35
Speaker 1: we're associated.
45:39
Speaker 10: It.
45:41
Speaker 1: Whoopee Goldberg had to answer. Then the caterer on Long
45:45
Speaker 1: Island lost his job. His company is under attack because
45:49
Speaker 1: he worked for Jeffrey Epstein. He cooked food, didn't cook
45:52
Speaker 1: food on the island. Didn't you know you want to
45:56
Speaker 1: ask him? Did you see little kids? Go ahead, but
46:00
Speaker 1: don't you don't ruin people just because they were around.
46:12
Speaker 1: This is one of those if you recall, we've had
46:17
Speaker 1: issues with people getting canceled from history, not because they
46:22
Speaker 1: were bad school teachers, but because they existed during the
46:26
Speaker 1: era of bad things, like Jim Crow and they did nothing.
46:30
Speaker 1: Why should we celebrate these people? They did nothing. They
46:33
Speaker 1: taught a whole bunch of people who went on to
46:35
Speaker 1: become famous physicists and scientists. But dah, why celebrate that
46:41
Speaker 1: they didn't say enough about racism when it happened. Now
46:46
Speaker 1: we got Casey Wasserman's being forced out at the Los
46:52
Speaker 1: Angeles Olympic LA twenty eight committee because his name shows
46:57
Speaker 1: up there. The British government may completely implode because the
47:04
Speaker 1: chief of staff was apparently in there. Yet nobody. Nobody
47:08
Speaker 1: talking about the FSB agent. Nobody wants to talk about that.
47:12
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to talk about the FSB agent that seems
47:15
Speaker 1: to be pulling the strings on Epstein.
47:17
Speaker 21: No.
47:18
Speaker 1: And then Epstein's connection to the Clintons. No, no, no,
47:24
Speaker 1: Trump Russia collusion. Trump's the one that's in the pocket
47:27
Speaker 1: of the Russians. And in it all, we stop talking
47:32
Speaker 1: about the horrific things that Jeffrey Epstein was doing on
47:37
Speaker 1: his private island. This one comes in. My dad told
47:44
Speaker 1: me when I was little, God is watching, Yes, and
47:47
Speaker 1: and understand that there is there is punishments here on earth,
47:51
Speaker 1: law of man. And you people make this distinction, Oh,
47:57
Speaker 1: I didn't do anything illegal. Well, if you did something immoral,
48:05
Speaker 1: you're going to have another hearing later on. And so
48:15
Speaker 1: you know, we forget that, we do. And thank you
48:17
Speaker 1: for the reminder on that. A couple of the other
48:20
Speaker 1: things that I think are important to the to the
48:28
Speaker 1: day is that we have two simultaneous peace negotiations going on,
48:42
Speaker 1: one in between Russia and Ukraine and one in between
48:46
Speaker 1: the US and Iran. Yes, and we need to get
48:50
Speaker 1: Iran to stop lobbing missiles into the straits of horror
48:53
Speaker 1: moves and reopen the damn thing. They're doing it to
48:59
Speaker 1: specific engender or reaction, of course, while they're at the
49:05
Speaker 1: negotiating table talking about their nuclear program with the American
49:09
Speaker 1: representatives there. Plus, we're in a rebuild phase where I
49:14
Speaker 1: think tomorrow is the first meeting of the Gaza Committee.
49:24
Speaker 1: Five billion dollars already invested into rebuilding the place.
49:34
Speaker 10: Two.
49:35
Speaker 1: I think it was Sunday somebody sent me an email
49:37
Speaker 1: about why you know the more Palestinians weren't involved, because
49:42
Speaker 1: every time we sent money into the Palestinians, it would
49:45
Speaker 1: be taken by the terrorist groups and used to dig
49:48
Speaker 1: tunnels into Israel rather than build up infrastructure in Gaza.
49:55
Speaker 1: So we're going to do it. This text message about
49:58
Speaker 1: the Pope's position, Joe, I appreciate what you said about
50:03
Speaker 1: the Pope's decision to stay with the United Nations because
50:07
Speaker 1: they had done such a bang up job up till
50:10
Speaker 1: this point. Is simply the Pope distancing himself from Trump
50:17
Speaker 1: or does he not want to see success in the
50:20
Speaker 1: Middle East in terms of peace. Well, there are people,
50:26
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying the Pope is one, but maybe
50:29
Speaker 1: the Vatican might be that benefit from rivalry. It does
50:39
Speaker 1: them no good to get along with everyone else. It's
50:44
Speaker 1: better to have an enemy. So there are people who
50:51
Speaker 1: are always going to oppose things like peace deals in
50:54
Speaker 1: the Middle East because there's money to be made based
50:58
Speaker 1: on the continued in the Middle East. It's a simple
51:04
Speaker 1: corruption of human nature. But Dan, it was a good
51:08
Speaker 1: question over the weekend, and a good question about the
51:14
Speaker 1: Pope this morning, because you know, the Vatican isn't a country,
51:21
Speaker 1: but it carries a lot of weight of the world's
51:23
Speaker 1: Catholic faith. And like I said, I'm not saying the
51:31
Speaker 1: Pope himself wants to continue this Holy war, but there
51:34
Speaker 1: are probably people, since there are people in all the
51:37
Speaker 1: governments of all the world that want to keep conflict going,
51:41
Speaker 1: whether it be in Ukraine or in Gaza, wherever it is.
51:46
Speaker 1: The more conflict there is, the more chaos there is.
51:51
Speaker 1: The more chaos there is, the more the opportunity for
51:54
Speaker 1: authoritarianism there is. And that's you know, like I said,
51:59
Speaker 1: that's the mundane. It's not for you know, deep seated agendas.
52:05
Speaker 1: It's just to get power. So I'll wrap it up
52:11
Speaker 1: for this, Ted Steve and putting more to get into tomorrow,
52:15
Speaker 1: get the podcasts of Today's program, Yesterday's program, and the
52:21

52:46
Speaker 1: long and thanks for all the fish.
52:51
Speaker 9: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
52:53
Speaker 9: compression of spinal nerves. According to doctor Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
52:57
Speaker 9: California based chiropractor with more than three years of experience,
53:01
Speaker 9: this compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury,
53:05
Speaker 9: or simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
53:09
Speaker 9: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
53:12
Speaker 9: the neck and back. Doctor Fisher explains his inventions. The
53:16
Speaker 9: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device
53:20
Speaker 9: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
53:24
Speaker 9: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher traction devices are
53:27
Speaker 9: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
53:30
Speaker 9: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
53:33
Speaker 9: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
53:36
Speaker 9: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your
53:38
Speaker 9: home and Doctor Fisher's series of YouTube videos provides helpful
53:41
Speaker 9: videos and detailed instructions. For more information, visit Fishertraction dot
