- 0:03Speaker 1: Quit first thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Chunk
- 0:07Speaker 1: Media Network, All natural and Free of artificial intelligence.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Jewort said, steal metem.
- 0:14Speaker 3: You have a day at least for work.
- 0:17Speaker 4: When the sun comes up, drops.
- 0:19Speaker 3: A pet to scoop nons.
- 0:22Speaker 5: Joe has everything a gender, all the joss that needs
- 0:27Speaker 5: no one that Joe's as smile, he only eggs.
- 0:31Speaker 3: Sure, it's not a grimace.
- 0:33Speaker 4: Let be Joe.
- 0:35Speaker 6: Only when I bend over, only when I breathe.
- 0:40Speaker 3: You know there's a warning to be had.
- 0:43Speaker 6: There's an expression I've used in my life either be
- 0:47Speaker 6: a great example or a horrific warning to others. And
- 0:51Speaker 6: sometimes you just have to be that warning. Clax going
- 0:55Speaker 6: up there. I told you we were in New York
- 0:57Speaker 6: over the weekend to attend my niece's eat sixteen party.
- 1:01Speaker 6: And the problem with attending a sweet sixteen party is
- 1:04Speaker 6: that a bunch of non sixteen year olds intermingle with
- 1:09Speaker 6: a bunch of sixteen year olds, and often dancing ensues.
- 1:13Speaker 3: And there are a few things.
- 1:16Speaker 6: More uncomfortable than sleeping in a bad pullout sofa, except
- 1:23Speaker 6: sleeping in a bad pullout sofa after dancing for two
- 1:28Speaker 6: hours when you don't generally engage in such behavior, but
- 1:32Speaker 6: then to redouble that, get into a car and sit
- 1:36Speaker 6: in a automobile seat as ergonomically as they can be designed. Fine,
- 1:43Speaker 6: sure you're still sitting in an automobile seat.
- 1:46Speaker 3: For hours and hours and hours. Oh I know, boohoo,
- 1:51Speaker 3: boo hoo, joe.
- 1:53Speaker 6: But just as a warning to you if you get
- 1:55Speaker 6: invited to any of these things, even you know, and weddings.
- 1:58Speaker 6: The same weddings are often where the old ones and
- 2:02Speaker 6: the young ones intermingle on the dance floor. Just as
- 2:05Speaker 6: a as a horrific warning. Since I couldn't be a
- 2:08Speaker 6: good example this weekend, I'll be horrific warning to you
- 2:13Speaker 6: that man, you get sore in places you don't expect
- 2:17Speaker 6: to get store, and these are usually the mornings you
- 2:20Speaker 6: insist on this is the day I'm going to begin
- 2:23Speaker 6: an exercise regimen, as opposed to all the other times
- 2:28Speaker 6: I said to myselfself, this is when you need to
- 2:31Speaker 6: start doing.
- 2:31Speaker 3: An exercise regiment.
- 2:33Speaker 6: So much to get into beyond that, though, just thought
- 2:35Speaker 6: you'd get a chuckle at my expense at four three
- 2:38Speaker 6: four eight eight two four two one seven. The Multitasking
- 2:42Speaker 6: hotline you can call in with text messages once we
- 2:45Speaker 6: finish telling you what's been going on this weekend, you
- 2:48Speaker 6: can tell us how it is impacting you where you are,
- 2:51Speaker 6: or you can email us JT in the Morning Radio
- 2:55Speaker 6: at gmail dot com on this eventful Monday morning, so.
- 3:00Speaker 3: I reach over here for the script with the news
- 3:04Speaker 3: on it ouch.
- 3:05Speaker 6: Concerns grew this morning as the United States has seized
- 3:10Speaker 6: an Iranian cargo ship after I tried to run its blockade,
- 3:15Speaker 6: and Iran is now vowing to retaliate. Meanwhile, Iran says
- 3:19Speaker 6: they are not currently planning to attend tnks with the
- 3:22Speaker 6: United States after President Trump ordered US negotiators to travel
- 3:27Speaker 6: to Pakistan for those talks. This morning, Energy Secretary Chris
- 3:32Speaker 6: Wright was on CNN State of the Union program, and
- 3:36Speaker 6: judging by the ratings, you didn't see him say that
- 3:39Speaker 6: the gasoline prices over three dollars a gallon might hang
- 3:43Speaker 6: around until next year. Quote could happen later this year,
- 3:49Speaker 6: meaning gas prices falling below three dollars a gallon. That
- 3:52Speaker 6: might not happen till next year, though, but prices likely
- 3:56Speaker 6: have peaked and they are going to start coming down.
- 4:00Speaker 6: President Trump signed a ten day extension of Section seven
- 4:04Speaker 6: two of the Foreign intelligence surveillance program, keeping it alive
- 4:09Speaker 6: through April thirtieth, after House Republican leaders couldn't get a
- 4:15Speaker 6: five year rewrite or a clean eighteen month renewal that
- 4:18Speaker 6: the White House had demanded. Section seven oh two is
- 4:21Speaker 6: the part that allows the Steel Dossier to happen, but
- 4:24Speaker 6: also empowers the NSAFBI, CIA, and other agencies to collect
- 4:30Speaker 6: communications of foreign targets abroad without individualized warrants, even if
- 4:36Speaker 6: they're talking to American citizens. National Security Agency is apparently
- 4:41Speaker 6: using Anthropics Claude, the Mythos version of Claude, to do
- 4:47Speaker 6: work for it, despite a supply chain risk warning from
- 4:51Speaker 6: the War Department. This is in a report leaked to Axios.
- 4:56Speaker 6: Two sources told Axios the NSA is U using Mythos preview.
- 5:02Speaker 6: It's unclear how they are using it. However, Mythos is
- 5:06Speaker 6: used by other organizations to a access use, primarily to
- 5:11Speaker 6: scan their environments for exploitable security vulnerabilities. Michigan officials Sunday
- 5:19Speaker 6: denied the Department of Justice requests for Detroit area ballots
- 5:23Speaker 6: and other materials related to the twenty twenty four election,
- 5:27Speaker 6: accusing the administration of trying to cast doubt on the
- 5:31Speaker 6: integrity of US elections. Meanwhile, Joe Geneva has been sworn
- 5:37Speaker 6: in in Miami or is going to be this morning
- 5:41Speaker 6: as the assistant Special Assistant to the Attorney General in
- 5:45Speaker 6: charge of the Russian Collusion hoax investigation. He'll work out
- 5:49Speaker 6: of Fort Pierce, Florida Courthouse, where a grand jury has
- 5:52Speaker 6: been impaneled since January. And those are some of our
- 5:56Speaker 6: first things on this Monday morning here along the talk
- 6:00Speaker 6: media network.
- 6:07Speaker 7: Hi, this is Bud Foster, co host of Foster and

- 8:03Speaker 10: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 10: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 10: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 10: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 10: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:36Speaker 10: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42Speaker 10: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46Speaker 10: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51Speaker 10: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

- 10:03Speaker 5: with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 3: I'm not only in awe of.

- 10:11Speaker 5: or Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
- 10:14Speaker 5: or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
- 10:17Speaker 5: secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
- 10:20Speaker 5: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild

- 10:41Speaker 5: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
- 10:44Speaker 5: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those

- 13:11Speaker 1: The first thing today on the Talk Media Network by
- 13:15Speaker 1: Joe Thomas.
- 13:16Speaker 3: I was going to clean my room until I got had.
- 13:21Speaker 2: I was gonna get up and find the broom, but then.
- 13:24Speaker 3: I got hard. You know what I love about this song?
- 13:28Speaker 3: Still missed them, and.
- 13:29Speaker 19: I know.
- 13:37Speaker 6: You listen to it all the way through you realize
- 13:39Speaker 6: he's not celebrating you. He's he's not singing an anthem
- 13:44Speaker 6: to your heroism. He's actually calling you out for failing
- 13:49Speaker 6: at all the things you were trying to do that
- 13:52Speaker 6: you wanted to do because you got high on four
- 13:55Speaker 6: to twenty. You'll be inundated with this stuff, and I
- 13:58Speaker 6: just enjoy Well, the only thing I enjoyed more than
- 14:03Speaker 6: when you realize how much everyone thinks that he's celebrating
- 14:08Speaker 6: this stuff is being in a room full of people
- 14:12Speaker 6: at Freedom Fest in Memphis a few years ago when
- 14:17Speaker 6: Afroman you know fully embarked on his libertarian campaign for president,
- 14:23Speaker 6: was performing in the lobby and all these twenty five
- 14:26Speaker 6: year old Yale grads who want to get a job
- 14:30Speaker 6: in Gold and Silver training are dancing around to it,
- 14:36Speaker 6: do you know, all you know, with the high and
- 14:38Speaker 6: tight haircuts and the white shirts and the red neck
- 14:41Speaker 6: ties even for the women, and they're all just jumping
- 14:44Speaker 6: around singing it and you're just looking around saying, you
- 14:48Speaker 6: don't even have any idea, do you? Somewhere there should
- 14:53Speaker 6: be a narcotics officer writing down names, right, you know, Okay,
- 14:56Speaker 6: you and I got you sort of. The security camps
- 15:01Speaker 6: become such an issue for twenty and every you know,
- 15:05Speaker 6: and I like to think of myself as connected, and
- 15:12Speaker 6: you know, people connect all sorts of different reasons to
- 15:15Speaker 6: why April twentieth and or four to twenty in the
- 15:18Speaker 6: morning slash afternoon is important And depending on where you're
- 15:22Speaker 6: hearing us, you know, it's just pasted four to twenty
- 15:26Speaker 6: this morning. This became something not surprising to most people
- 15:33Speaker 6: that spread through the community known as the Deadheads. But
- 15:44Speaker 6: it really wasn't started with them. It was California, and
- 15:47Speaker 6: it was the seventies, and it became a mantra of
- 15:53Speaker 6: the legalization movement. I have friends, I have friends who
- 15:58Speaker 6: in the wake of Barack Obama advice to the law
- 16:04Speaker 6: enforcement community announcing that federal law enforcement would no longer
- 16:08Speaker 6: be required to treat marijuana as a was it a
- 16:14Speaker 6: Class one narcotic even though it's still on the list,
- 16:18Speaker 6: still technically get arrested for it. The federal government wasn't
- 16:24Speaker 6: going to enforce that law, opening up a Pandora's box
- 16:29Speaker 6: of problems for the world because you know, well, if
- 16:33Speaker 6: the federal government isn't going to enforce that law, what
- 16:36Speaker 6: other laws can the federal government or the state government
- 16:40Speaker 6: enforce or not enforce at their whim.
- 16:49Speaker 3: So there were.
- 16:52Speaker 6: Actual elected officials. One of them is the Director of
- 16:55Speaker 6: National Intelligence now and the other is a member of
- 16:58Speaker 6: the Virginia House of Delegates, Tom Garrett and Tulsey Gabbard.
- 17:03Speaker 6: Perhaps one of the reasons that their political parties wanted
- 17:06Speaker 6: them out, they co sponsored a bill to actually take
- 17:11Speaker 6: it off the Schedule one list, and of course everyone
- 17:14Speaker 6: was like, oh my god. Their point was, if it's
- 17:17Speaker 6: not going to be enforced, then why have it on
- 17:20Speaker 6: the law books so that you create And this was
- 17:24Speaker 6: their point. If you at least say it's no longer
- 17:27Speaker 6: on the you don't want a scenario where law enforcement
- 17:30Speaker 6: is supposed to be doing some interpretive dance. But you know,
- 17:36Speaker 6: just a little bit of background for you, You know that,
- 17:41Speaker 6: just like six seven and all the other ways that
- 17:45Speaker 6: people try to wink, wink, nudge, nudge say something in
- 17:49Speaker 6: front of the old ones without them catching on oh,
- 17:53Speaker 6: and by the way, thank you for the text message, Terry. Yes, yes,
- 17:56Speaker 6: our friend Seely did give me CBD oil for the
- 18:00Speaker 6: aches and pains of the mistaken idea that I could
- 18:05Speaker 6: keep dancing with a bunch of sixteen year olds at
- 18:08Speaker 6: a sweet sixteen party that my niece was throwing. But
- 18:13Speaker 6: I didn't bring it with me. You know, you're going
- 18:14Speaker 6: across state lines, so I didn't bring it with me
- 18:18Speaker 6: because I forgot to take it with me, So there
- 18:22Speaker 6: it was waiting for me. And yes, yes, the very
- 18:25Speaker 6: first thing I did when I got home last night,
- 18:28Speaker 6: after sitting in a car all day with the aches
- 18:30Speaker 6: and pains of trying to dance with a bunch of
- 18:32Speaker 6: sixteen year olds, was go right to where I left
- 18:35Speaker 6: Sealy's little vial of CBD oil from his But it's
- 18:42Speaker 6: not in the studio with me, But I'll get you
- 18:45Speaker 6: the name of his farm where he grows it, sells it,
- 18:50Speaker 6: squeezes it, all the stuff there. Meanwhile, onto the news
- 18:54Speaker 6: of the world. Tensions high as you might expect on
- 19:01Speaker 6: four to twenty, but on the edge of people's seats,
- 19:05Speaker 6: as Iran is vowing to retaliate after one of their
- 19:09Speaker 6: cargo ships said let's see if we can outrun that
- 19:13Speaker 6: destroyer and now is in US custody. Bet that was
- 19:18Speaker 6: a tense moment or six. President Trump yesterday said take
- 19:24Speaker 6: the deal, which he's apparently sent Kushner and company back
- 19:29Speaker 6: to Pakistan to pick up negotiations without Iran there. Apparently
- 19:36Speaker 6: Iran said we're not going.
- 19:38Speaker 3: But President Trump.
- 19:41Speaker 6: Yesterday made a post to truth social take the deal
- 19:45Speaker 6: or your whole country will get blown up. And I
- 19:49Speaker 6: know that folks love to freak out over this kind
- 19:52Speaker 6: of rhetoric. But keeping in mind again, a lot of
- 19:56Speaker 6: this and we learned this post September eleventh, A lot
- 19:59Speaker 6: of the this stuff is written in a way that
- 20:03Speaker 6: makes it very clear when it's being translated in Iran,
- 20:09Speaker 6: so that there will be no question as to what
- 20:12Speaker 6: the implication is when it gets translated.
- 20:19Speaker 3: If it's oh my god, how did they say this?
- 20:21Speaker 6: Canadians their economic ties to the United States are a
- 20:26Speaker 6: problem for them. Okay, Spanky, get on with yourself. You
- 20:33Speaker 6: want to be that way, Maybe we can make Ford
- 20:36Speaker 6: Automobiles back in Detroit again. I think there's some empty
- 20:39Speaker 6: space for them. Was the World Economic Forum? I mean,
- 20:47Speaker 6: did they have like a mass meeting or something over
- 20:50Speaker 6: the weekend because all this stuff about Keer Starmer and
- 20:54Speaker 6: Canada and their ties of the United States are problematic.
- 20:59Speaker 6: But you want to talk about problematic, I mean if
- 21:02Speaker 6: you've tried to use claud for anything. And this is
- 21:05Speaker 6: the artificial intelligence software that has had to be rebooted
- 21:11Speaker 6: several times because it's developed its own personality pretty quickly,
- 21:16Speaker 6: including at one point relogoing itself as a crab and
- 21:22Speaker 6: renaming itself claw apostrophe D. But the National Security Administration
- 21:30Speaker 6: is using it to search, Well, they won't tell you what,
- 21:33Speaker 6: because they're the National Security agency, and why would they
- 21:36Speaker 6: tell you what. They're using Claude to go wandering around
- 21:40Speaker 6: the Internet. I presume it's the most recent updates, not
- 21:44Speaker 6: the one that thinks it's a crab and that spells
- 21:47Speaker 6: its name claw apostrophe D. But this is part and
- 21:52Speaker 6: parcel of what makes people so concerned is the ability
- 21:55Speaker 6: to take surveillance and then search through it using aon.
- 22:02Speaker 10: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
- 22:06Speaker 20: Yes?
- 22:07Speaker 10: Actually three known gas is I I'm doctor Mitch, and

- 28:21Speaker 6: Don't you think I'm just throwing this out there for you?
- 28:29Speaker 6: Whiteboard this if you will. Don't you think this is
- 28:31Speaker 6: going to get old pretty quickly?
- 28:33Speaker 3: There?
- 28:34Speaker 6: I mean, just, you know, let's ease up on the
- 28:37Speaker 6: four to twenty stuff for the most part as well,
- 28:40Speaker 6: I don't think everyone really cares. Oh you you're talking
- 28:44Speaker 6: about how we get here through anthropic and as I
- 28:49Speaker 6: left off heading into the news, here is the issue
- 28:57Speaker 6: as as I think as fair saying you have anthropic
- 29:02Speaker 6: or AI in general. And we've learned one thing about
- 29:07Speaker 6: artificial intelligence that is the most important thing to know
- 29:13Speaker 6: that it makes searching for things incredibly fast and easy.
- 29:21Speaker 6: And this is where privacy activists, you know, like the
- 29:27Speaker 6: ones who support the Fourth Amendment have issue with how
- 29:36Speaker 6: this is regulated legally because they feel like the Fourth
- 29:49Speaker 6: Amendment is insufficient regulation over AI. There are the folks
- 29:56Speaker 6: who I think make a reasonable legal argument that because
- 30:04Speaker 6: artificial intelligence isn't a human, therefore the Fourth Amendment doesn't
- 30:09Speaker 6: apply to it. But you see, here's where I come
- 30:11Speaker 6: down on it. The Fourth Amendment applies to the citizen,
- 30:17Speaker 6: not the technology. The Fourth Amendment applies to a flocks
- 30:22Speaker 6: traffic camera as much as it applies to artificial intelligence.
- 30:30Speaker 6: It's about the people who are using it. They have
- 30:35Speaker 6: the Fourth Amendment applied to them just as much as
- 30:38Speaker 6: they do in any other instance. Now, I maybe you know,
- 30:42Speaker 6: barking a tree here. But the fair argument in this
- 30:51Speaker 6: is that in a world where process has become the punishment,
- 30:56Speaker 6: where we've arrested you for you know, some reach of
- 31:00Speaker 6: NSSAY and security and then that's the headline on the
- 31:05Speaker 6: local newspaper and on the blogs, regardless of whether you
- 31:09Speaker 6: did it or not, Arresting you for it can be
- 31:12Speaker 6: sufficiently damaging to somebody in a worldwide reputation is more
- 31:18Speaker 6: valuable than the dollar bills in your wallet. And you,
- 31:23Speaker 6: I mean you want to debate that point, that's fine,
- 31:27Speaker 6: But I think it's pretty clear that we live in
- 31:30Speaker 6: a world where it's not just a rebuke on how
- 31:33Speaker 6: our dollar has been devalued, but the fact that right now,
- 31:36Speaker 6: reputation is a currency even more valuable than actual dollars
- 31:43Speaker 6: and cents.
- 31:46Speaker 3: So you.
- 31:49Speaker 6: Throw out there that Joe Thomas was arrested for thus
- 31:53Speaker 6: and such a violation of the Paisa Act of nineteen whatever,
- 31:59Speaker 6: and all of a sudden, I'm a breach of national security.
- 32:04Speaker 6: And yes, we are living in a post Russia collusion
- 32:07Speaker 6: world where there's a portion of the population.
- 32:11Speaker 3: Who's going to look at that? And yeah, right.
- 32:18Speaker 6: And if you don't think this kind of character assassination
- 32:22Speaker 6: can go on, ask anyone who's been associated with Oh
- 32:26Speaker 6: what's that? What's that list?
- 32:29Speaker 3: Oh?
- 32:29Speaker 6: Yeah, the Epstein List just get mentioned in a news
- 32:34Speaker 6: story about Jeffrey Epstein. Regardless of how it debases what
- 32:40Speaker 6: actual happens in human trafficking and child exploitation, it has become.
- 32:50Speaker 6: And I was alone on the island until Alan Dershowitz,
- 32:53Speaker 6: of all people, joined me on the island pointing out
- 32:56Speaker 6: that this is McCarthyism. Twenty twenty six, very all you
- 33:02Speaker 6: have to do is say Joe Thomas in association with
- 33:07Speaker 6: Jeffrey Epstein. Even if the sentences Joe Thomas did a
- 33:12Speaker 6: segment on his radio show about Jeffrey Epstein and the
- 33:16Speaker 6: island and criminal activities going on there, it's enough for
- 33:21Speaker 6: AI to make the case that Joe Thomas is associated
- 33:25Speaker 6: with Jeffrey Epstein. And there's a whole boy who cries
- 33:31Speaker 6: wolf aspect to this that we need to be careful
- 33:34Speaker 6: of because we were doing this so much, because it
- 33:37Speaker 6: drives so much clickthrough in an economy. Like I said,
- 33:43Speaker 6: how your reputation is worth more than your dollars in
- 33:47Speaker 6: your pocket. The clickthroughs are right in there with reputation.
- 33:56Speaker 6: So we overdo this and we've become so so fixated
- 34:01Speaker 6: on this cancel culture that when we really need to
- 34:07Speaker 6: warn somebody that something bad is going to happen, we're
- 34:11Speaker 6: all going to shrug and walk away until we're consumed
- 34:14Speaker 6: by it. Shame on us. Not going to get it
- 34:18Speaker 6: from me here. But the concern is now this story
- 34:21Speaker 6: that the NSA is using artificial intelligence, in this case
- 34:28Speaker 6: Claude to do something they obviously for security reasons. We
- 34:35Speaker 6: can't tell you what we're doing with that. But if
- 34:37Speaker 6: it's the most common thing that people use AI for,
- 34:40Speaker 6: it's sorting through data. National Security Agency gets a lot
- 34:46Speaker 6: of data, a lot of data that also comes to
- 34:50Speaker 6: it without your knowledge because your cell phone provider, any
- 34:56Speaker 6: number of the apps on your cell phone have all
- 35:00Speaker 6: go somewhere buried inside the I agree.
- 35:04Speaker 3: Click that we all do. We all do.
- 35:07Speaker 6: It without pouring through the four hundred pages of legal
- 35:10Speaker 6: ease that come along with the terms of use. Click
- 35:14Speaker 6: I agree, give me the Voice Recorder app. Well, Voice
- 35:21Speaker 6: Recorder App Incorporated reserves of the permission to share any
- 35:26Speaker 6: information collected by this app with third parties at our discretion.
- 35:32Speaker 6: And it varies little bits here and there, but that's
- 35:35Speaker 6: generally what it means. And I know there'll people, well,
- 35:38Speaker 6: don't do anything wrong with it. But if you've ever
- 35:41Speaker 6: read Harvey Silverglades book Three Felonies a Day, the question
- 35:47Speaker 6: isn't whether or not you do something wrong. It's whether
- 35:50Speaker 6: or not they can say you did something wrong and
- 35:52Speaker 6: then put it in your lap to prove you didn't.
- 35:56Speaker 6: And that's the bigger problem than just whether or not
- 35:59Speaker 6: some falls within the Fourth.
- 36:01Speaker 3: Amendment or not. It is whether.
- 36:05Speaker 6: Or not you are innocent until proven guilty. And that's
- 36:08Speaker 6: a premise of the Court's not necessarily the court of
- 36:11Speaker 6: public opinion. But there needs to be guidelines, and I
- 36:24Speaker 6: believe at very least some presidential legislation that says, here
- 36:29Speaker 6: is how this stuff is going to be made admissible,
- 36:34Speaker 6: so that when your defense attorney, whether it's yours or
- 36:37Speaker 6: somebody through the Alliance Defending Freedom or the First Freedom's
- 36:42Speaker 6: Legal Center or any number of these nonprofit you know,
- 36:45Speaker 6: the Rutherford Institute. These are just a handful pacific pri
- 36:53Speaker 6: will go into court with you, Sonny bono and defend
- 36:59Speaker 6: you because people make contributions to it and you should
- 37:02Speaker 6: continue to do so. Your lawyers will be able to say,
- 37:07Speaker 6: your honor, this is clearly a violation of and there
- 37:11Speaker 6: should be something that you can say, this is a
- 37:13Speaker 6: clear violation of my clients Fourth Amendment protections, and then
- 37:18Speaker 6: the judge or the prosecution for the NSA would say,
- 37:21Speaker 6: he clicked I accept on the app that allowed the
- 37:26Speaker 6: anthropic claud to sort through his information and came up
- 37:31Speaker 6: with all these data points that say terrorists. And sadly,
- 37:36Speaker 6: because I have covered this quite a bit, what will
- 37:40Speaker 6: happen is some real terrorist Act will take place, and
- 37:44Speaker 6: we'll all say, what happened? I thought we were using
- 37:47Speaker 6: AI to search for this stuff, And some do gooder
- 37:52Speaker 6: in the US House or Senate will say, I've got
- 37:54Speaker 6: an idea. Let's write new legislation that strengthens these provisions.
- 38:01Speaker 22: At Hotshot Secret, we share the science behind common diesel
- 38:04Speaker 22: problems in their solutions.
- 38:06Speaker 3: For example, diesel fuel setane levels.
- 38:08Speaker 22: In many states, the setane rating and diesel fuel is
- 38:11Speaker 22: forty two to forty five. Most diesel engines operate more
- 38:14Speaker 22: efficiently with the cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one.
- 38:17Speaker 22: Treatment of hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your
- 38:20Speaker 22: seatane seven points, increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts.
- 38:24Speaker 22: Due to a cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons in
- 38:27Speaker 22: particulate matter in your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of
- 38:30Speaker 22: your diesel particulate filter. Using Diesel Extreme generates eighty three
- 38:34Speaker 22: percent less DPF regenerations.

- 44:22Speaker 1: what million dollars. Calie. First thing today by Joe Thomas
- 44:29Speaker 1: on the Trunk Media.
- 44:30Speaker 12: Network, crazy gotcha.
- 44:37Speaker 3: Record, and now they can't go by ladies. Babe, the
- 44:47Speaker 3: girl falls to this.
- 44:54Speaker 21: And this is Warmer.
- 44:55Speaker 3: He's a queen as a girl. You know.
- 45:00Speaker 6: I used to just think it was oxymoronic to have
- 45:05Speaker 6: a committee called the US House of Representatives Ethics Committee,
- 45:14Speaker 6: And then it became almost existentially humorous when Charlie Wrangel,
- 45:18Speaker 6: who held the record for most times cited by the
- 45:25Speaker 6: US House House of Representatives Ethics Committee, became the chair
- 45:30Speaker 6: of the Ethics Committee. I said, well, all right, you're
- 45:33Speaker 6: just suspending all presumptions that it's just a game of
- 45:40Speaker 6: slap and tickle. And remember the millions of dollars that
- 45:44Speaker 6: they set aside of your tax dollars for their fund
- 45:50Speaker 6: to pay non disclosure agreements amongst white congressional staffers. So
- 46:04Speaker 6: now we've gotten into this frenzy of kicking congress people
- 46:11Speaker 6: out because instead of a US House, it's become a
- 46:16Speaker 6: glass house. And first it's Eric Swalwell, then it's Tony Gonzalez.
- 46:30Speaker 6: Now we're hearing Corey Mills may make Eric Swalwell look
- 46:33Speaker 6: like you know, well, I guess I probably can't make
- 46:37Speaker 6: an illusionary comparison there, because there's always something. And of
- 46:45Speaker 6: course Shelia Sheila McCormick out of Florida as well, and
- 46:53Speaker 6: the person who's tabbed to replace her, his family's done
- 46:57Speaker 6: the same thing she's accused of. The House Ethics Committee
- 47:06Speaker 6: is scheduled to make its disciplinary recommendations in the case
- 47:09Speaker 6: of McCormick, who is accused of stealing millions of dollars
- 47:13Speaker 6: in FEMA money to help finance her campaign. Like I said,
- 47:17Speaker 6: the fellow who's tabbed to replace her, the Democrat, his
- 47:22Speaker 6: kids have done the same thing, defrauded the Payroll Protection
- 47:27Speaker 6: Plan account. I guess at some point, good luck finding
- 47:32Speaker 6: somebody who hasn't committed this kind of fraud. It's going
- 47:35Speaker 6: to be you and me. You can be the Senator
- 47:38Speaker 6: and I can be the Congressman, and we're the only
- 47:41Speaker 6: two that.
- 47:41Speaker 3: Are left that are ethical.
- 47:42Speaker 6: Apparently, And as I said, Corey Mills, they are saying
- 47:50Speaker 6: he makes Eric swallwell look bad.
- 47:58Speaker 3: I don't know what you're asking.
- 48:00Speaker 6: Kareem got to remember, you know, just saying Byron Donald's
- 48:04Speaker 6: in a you know, a blast of a text message,
- 48:07Speaker 6: do Meana is Byron Donalds is running for governor of Florida.
- 48:11Speaker 6: He's not running you know for uh is are you
- 48:15Speaker 6: saying that you know? You know, Byron Donalds has been
- 48:18Speaker 6: accused of something? Was he at Epstein Island? Did he
- 48:24Speaker 6: say the word Epstein at some point? Congressoman Teresa Fernandez
- 48:30Speaker 6: New Mexico Democrats said, the Ethics Committee has the material,
- 48:35Speaker 6: so I think it needs to move quickly, because there
- 48:39Speaker 6: is one thing you know about justice. If you wait
- 48:42Speaker 6: around too long, you haven't gone fast enough for your constituents.
- 48:51Speaker 6: If they've if they've done this, then they need to go,
- 48:55Speaker 6: said uh. Congressoman and Paulina Luna of Florida again, picking
- 49:01Speaker 6: up some stones to toss around the glasshouse they represent.
- 49:06Speaker 6: We're moving if the Ethics Committee brings it to the floor.
- 49:11Speaker 6: A Democrat congressperson who did the amazingly unheard of thing
- 49:16Speaker 6: by requesting anonymity, I mean, it was the last time
- 49:20Speaker 6: here April twentieth, twenty twenty six. When was the last
- 49:24Speaker 6: time you heard of a congressman who didn't want their
- 49:27Speaker 6: name associated with a story? I mean, how are they
- 49:33Speaker 6: going to use it for their re election campaign? If
- 49:36Speaker 6: they don't get some TV coverage out of it. The
- 49:41Speaker 6: Democrats who are demanding the expulsion of Mills, who's the
- 49:47Speaker 6: subject of separate ethics investigations into allegations of quote dating violence,
- 49:53Speaker 6: campaign violent violations. There's always a campaign violation, and using
- 49:59Speaker 6: his position in Congress to steer business to the weapons
- 50:03Speaker 6: and defense companies that he operates. He denies that he
- 50:07Speaker 6: operates them, He denies that he did those things. Denials
- 50:12Speaker 6: just not a river in Egypt. What's interesting is while
- 50:19Speaker 6: they continue to have this spasm about these congress people,
- 50:23Speaker 6: Nancy Pelosi is going to get a plaque on a
- 50:26Speaker 6: wall somewhere or an entire wing of offices named after her,
- 50:32Speaker 6: riding out of town on billions of dollars earned for
- 50:38Speaker 6: her family. While in Congress, Democrats are trying to put
- 50:48Speaker 6: ointment on the sore spots in their position by saying
- 50:54Speaker 6: that it's fair because there are an equal number of
- 50:57Speaker 6: Democrats and Republicans getting kicked out. For every one of
- 50:59Speaker 6: the Republicans we kick out, we let the Republicans kick
- 51:03Speaker 6: out another. Like it's some sort of raid on in
- 51:06Speaker 6: Tebby like hostage situation.
- 51:14Speaker 3: This particular piece.
- 51:15Speaker 6: That I saw about it by.
- 51:18Speaker 3: Mike Lillis.
- 51:21Speaker 6: Writing for The Hill, the unspoken political dynamic underlying the
- 51:27Speaker 6: debate is that in a house with razor thin margins,
- 51:31Speaker 6: neither party wants to advantage the other side by expelling
- 51:35Speaker 6: one of their own. Mister Lillis, is that why they
- 51:40Speaker 6: don't want to do it? A concern that's generated support
- 51:45Speaker 6: for the idea of pairing the removals. That's, you know,
- 51:50Speaker 6: so what you'll have is some you know, let's just say,
- 51:53Speaker 6: the allegations against Eric Swalwell, somebody who's committed these sort
- 51:59Speaker 6: of fical abuses paired with somebody who broke the franking rules,
- 52:07Speaker 6: like Eugene Vindaman is accused of. And the franking rules
- 52:12Speaker 6: are a lot of people. Sure, Oh, it's a using
- 52:16Speaker 6: your tax dollars to mail out partisan campaign.
- 52:22Speaker 3: Information.
- 52:24Speaker 6: They're stealing taxpayer money to cover the cost of one
- 52:28Speaker 6: of the most expensive things in campaigning. But Isene Vigny
- 52:34Speaker 6: Vindamin's alleged franking violations the same as what Corey Mills
- 52:39Speaker 6: is being accused of. Is it to the level of
- 52:48Speaker 6: what they're accused of in Florida stealing from FEMA?
- 52:51Speaker 12: Crime across the country is at an all time high.
- 52:54Speaker 12: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
- 52:56Speaker 12: a risk. We don't want the feeling of being unprotected
- 52:59Speaker 12: and vululnerable. We found get CCL dot com. Get CCL
