- 0:48Speaker 5: went on last night and over a very busy weekend.
- 0:52Speaker 5: We will also give you our analysis of it, because
- 0:57Speaker 5: I know that's what you're looking for. But moreover all,
- 1:00Speaker 5: SO want to add to that how the news of

- 1:25Speaker 5: tuning in in Virginia Beach as well. I mentioned the
- 1:32Speaker 5: Ten Commandments in American schools versus theocracy, kareem rites in
- 1:37Speaker 5: what the Hebrews under the Ten Commandments weren't a theocracy?
- 1:42Speaker 5: I didn't say that. I said in the American construct
- 1:46Speaker 5: in America, if you display the Ten Commandments, it's not
- 1:50Speaker 5: saying you must join this church. And what the agnostic
- 1:58Speaker 5: overthrow of America's got government has done is created this idea,
- 2:04Speaker 5: this confrontation of church versus state that you know, to
- 2:13Speaker 5: its end, what we wind up doing is not explaining
- 2:21Speaker 5: the kids that lying is bad or stealing is bad,
- 2:25Speaker 5: and that's intentional. That is a demoralization. And what political
- 2:30Speaker 5: what governmental theocracy is based on. Demralization take away your morals,
- 2:38Speaker 5: take away your ability to determine right and wrong. Let's see,
- 2:42Speaker 5: you know, Congressman John McGuire, Armed services and a government
- 2:49Speaker 5: Oversight Committee. I want to talk about your weekend in Chappaquah,
- 2:52Speaker 5: but you wanted to add something about the folks and
- 2:56Speaker 5: the situation going on right now in Iran in the attacks.

- 3:04Speaker 8: that I know of. There at Israel right now. So
- 3:06Speaker 8: I was in direct communication with Marco Ruby yes day

- 3:11Speaker 8: But I would add, I would say that if anyone
- 3:13Speaker 8: has a loved one or concern about that, please reach

- 3:27Speaker 5: And of course, Iran now attempting to use the Strait
- 3:32Speaker 5: of Horror moves as we were talking about earlier, as
- 3:35Speaker 5: a weapon in this battle. Iranian authorities are warning commercial
- 3:39Speaker 5: vessels that the strait is closed, though international authority says
- 3:43Speaker 5: nothing is on file with them. We'll see what happens.
- 3:46Speaker 5: They are eight countries part of OPEK Plus announced on
- 3:50Speaker 5: Sunday they are going to boost oil production to make

- 3:59Speaker 5: Saudi Arabia, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria
- 4:06Speaker 5: and alman and Russia. Senator Tom Cotton slapped down the
- 4:12Speaker 5: idea that President Trump wants to send American soldiers into Iran.
- 4:17Speaker 5: In an appearance on Face the Nation, he said, the
- 4:20Speaker 5: President has been clear that we should expect to see
- 4:22Speaker 5: an extended air and naval campaign that's designed to continue
- 4:26Speaker 5: to set back Iran's nuclear ambitions, but most importantly destroy
- 4:31Speaker 5: its vast missile arsenal. On Sunday, Virginia Senator Mark Warner,
- 4:38Speaker 5: the top ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said
- 4:42Speaker 5: Sunday on CNN State of the Union program, I saw
- 4:46Speaker 5: no intelligence that Iran was on the verge of launching
- 4:49Speaker 5: any kind of preemptive strike against the United States of America.
- 4:54Speaker 9: The President needs to make that case now to start
- 4:57Speaker 9: another conflict.
- 4:58Speaker 2: Where will allies be?
- 5:00Speaker 8: You know, we are much stronger when we have allies.
- 5:04Speaker 5: Iran and Iranian backed militias fired missiles into Israel and
- 5:08Speaker 5: other neighboring Arab states on Monday, hitting the US embassy.
- 5:12Speaker 5: Reports are in Kuwait also in the battle over these
- 5:16Speaker 5: missile strikes. The reports out of kuwaitar that three American
- 5:21Speaker 5: jets were hit by Kuwaiti missiles trying to shoot down
- 5:26Speaker 5: the incoming Iranian missiles. Iran's ambassador ambassador to the UN
- 5:32Speaker 5: Nuclear Agency alleged on Monday that US Israeli air strikes
- 5:37Speaker 5: have targeted Iran's Nantas nuclear enrichment site. Reza Najafi told
- 5:44Speaker 5: journalists they attacked Iran's peaceful, safeguarded nuclear facilities yesterday. World
- 5:52Speaker 5: markets are feeling the hits, though not as much as
- 5:56Speaker 5: some might have expected. US futures on the S and
- 6:00Speaker 5: P five hundred and Dow Jones Industrial sank one point
- 6:03Speaker 5: seven percent, the German DAS exchange drop two point two percent.

- 8:07Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 8:13Speaker 10: am 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
- 8:27Speaker 10: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:32Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:37Speaker 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

- 10:01Speaker 12: on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 12: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 12: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:09Speaker 12: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 12: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 10:15Speaker 12: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 10:18Speaker 12: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21Speaker 12: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 10:23Speaker 12: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 10:26Speaker 12: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 10:29Speaker 12: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 10:32Speaker 12: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
- 10:35Speaker 12: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
- 10:38Speaker 12: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
- 10:41Speaker 12: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
- 10:44Speaker 12: variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
- 10:46Speaker 12: help those in need. So please join me an American

- 13:17Speaker 5: John McGuire on with us the fifth Congressional District out
- 13:21Speaker 5: of Virginia and just back from New York where he
- 13:27Speaker 5: was part of the crew doing the deposition of the
- 13:30Speaker 5: Clinton's Hillary and Bill. John. So I want to ask
- 13:34Speaker 5: you before you go.
- 13:35Speaker 13: What was all that?
- 13:37Speaker 17: Like?
- 13:38Speaker 5: The stories I read said that Bill Clinton doubled down
- 13:41Speaker 5: on the classic hits. Maybe he forgot that he had
- 13:43Speaker 5: used the line before, repeatedly saying that he never had
- 13:47Speaker 5: sexual relations with that woman every time a picture was
- 13:50Speaker 5: shown to him. You know, just give us your feel
- 13:54Speaker 5: for how those how those interviews went well.
- 13:58Speaker 8: First of all, they were historic and only a few
- 14:00Speaker 8: of us were chosen to go. And it was the
- 14:02Speaker 8: first time that we ever, you know, Congress has ever
- 14:07Speaker 8: interviewed someone as high as a former Secretary of State
- 14:10Speaker 8: and that was Hillary Clinton on Thursday, and then even higher.
- 14:13Speaker 8: It was the first time in history we ever questioned
- 14:16Speaker 8: a former president. And I got to tell you, both
- 14:18Speaker 8: of them are slick. They are definitely professional politicians.
- 14:24Speaker 13: It was like a.
- 14:25Speaker 8: Selective memory, and I'm exaggerating, but Hillary Clinton could tell
- 14:28Speaker 8: you what she had for breakfast at ninety two. But
- 14:30Speaker 8: there's something that involved the epsteam just like I don't
- 14:33Speaker 8: recall it, don't remember. And that's what you heard that
- 14:36Speaker 8: we went around circles for six hours with Hillary Clinton
- 14:39Speaker 8: on Thursday, and we did about six hours to start
- 14:41Speaker 8: with Bill Clinton on Friday. But you know, What's interesting
- 14:45Speaker 8: is we asked them the same question in many different ways,
- 14:48Speaker 8: and we actually got more information out of the bill
- 14:50Speaker 8: that we did Hillary.
- 14:53Speaker 7: But what Yeah.
- 14:54Speaker 8: But one thing I will say is on President Trump
- 14:57Speaker 8: is obviously I talked to especially women who may have
- 15:03Speaker 8: been sexually assaulted or you know, by men in Congress.
- 15:07Speaker 8: They are head huting right now. They want to get
- 15:10Speaker 8: every single person.
- 15:11Speaker 3: We all do.
- 15:12Speaker 8: And I can say the same thing, but I think
- 15:13Speaker 8: they're probably the most paculate they said. They actually told
- 15:17Speaker 8: me the more they read the Epstein files, the more
- 15:19Speaker 8: it exonerates President Trump. And because there's only one person
- 15:25Speaker 8: that I've seen who was found in alarms and banging
- 15:28Speaker 8: drums and saying you got to do something about us,
- 15:30Speaker 8: and there was President Trump, I think everybody else was afraid.
- 15:33Speaker 8: And so one thing that came out of the interviews
- 15:36Speaker 8: with Bill Clinton was he actually said, and I don't
- 15:39Speaker 8: think he knew he said, Look, I remember back in
- 15:41Speaker 8: the nineties presidents told everybody what the bad Epstein was.
- 15:48Speaker 8: I think that actually had the head I mean, we're
- 15:50Speaker 8: not supposed to talk about.
- 15:51Speaker 5: Well, you know, I mean, was there a sense I
- 15:54Speaker 5: don't like, I said, I know, you don't want to
- 15:55Speaker 5: get into the specific Was there a sense that they
- 15:57Speaker 5: were aware of any thing that Epstein was trying to
- 16:01Speaker 5: influence them to do after being on the island or
- 16:06Speaker 5: was it a straight party line. I didn't know anything
- 16:08Speaker 5: was going on.
- 16:10Speaker 8: It was straight, I admit, nothing to not everything. And
- 16:14Speaker 8: of course the Democrats had a handful of Democrats there. Everything.
- 16:18Speaker 8: Everything they said, sent it around blaying and Trump for everything,
- 16:21Speaker 8: of course and h but I thought it was interesting that. Yeah,
- 16:25Speaker 8: but I thought it was interested in that Bill actually said.
- 16:27Speaker 8: But actually you know, uh, President Trump actually was the
- 16:31Speaker 8: one sound the alarm, so he just confirmed what we
- 16:34Speaker 8: had been readings.
- 16:35Speaker 5: Are they the happiest two people on the planet though?
- 16:38Speaker 5: Once Saturday morning came and President and Trump announced the
- 16:42Speaker 5: attack on Iran.
- 16:45Speaker 8: Yeah, definitely deflected the spotlight off of them.
- 16:48Speaker 5: Oh my god, right off the front page there, John McGuire,
- 16:51Speaker 5: it's McGuire dot House dot gov.
- 16:57Speaker 1: That's right.
- 16:58Speaker 5: But John, you know, to the subject of redistricting real quick,
- 17:02Speaker 5: do you have any thoughts on this case in Lynchburg
- 17:06Speaker 5: regarding ours the state electors or I guess the county
- 17:11Speaker 5: and city electors are saying, we don't know what to
- 17:14Speaker 5: do because the State Board of Elections is under a
- 17:18Speaker 5: court order to not undertake anything involving redistricting until after
- 17:24Speaker 5: March eighteenth. The voting is supposed to start March six
- 17:28Speaker 5: and they're just looking for the judge to say, yeah,
- 17:31Speaker 5: as long as this court order is in place and
- 17:33Speaker 5: this restriction, you can't start voting on the six What
- 17:39Speaker 5: do you hear about it?
- 17:40Speaker 8: Well, what the Democrats are saying is if we don't
- 17:43Speaker 8: like what another state is doing, we can ignore our constitution.
- 17:47Speaker 8: That means Virginia's sovereignty at stake. The Taswell judge gave
- 17:51Speaker 8: truth of them breaking sixth laws to get this redistricted on.
- 17:55Speaker 8: So it is unconstitutional for the Virginia constitution. And that's
- 17:59Speaker 8: why you've had Aswell one and Taswell two. And the
- 18:02Speaker 8: reason there's so much confusion is because they're.
- 18:04Speaker 9: Breaking the law.
- 18:05Speaker 8: That's why there's so much confusion. But I realized that
- 18:08Speaker 8: the Democrats are radical in Richmond right now, you see
- 18:12Speaker 8: fifty some taxes at proposing and itary minimum. They're putting
- 18:16Speaker 8: Federals on the street. So that's why they're going to
- 18:18Speaker 8: push through with this. And if they do, please get
- 18:21Speaker 8: family members and friends that vote know but I'm hoping,
- 18:24Speaker 8: as you've said that the court, the Lynchburg judge will
- 18:27Speaker 8: to say that this is completely unlawful and throw it out.
- 18:31Speaker 8: But it's a battle that they got to feel in.
- 18:33Speaker 8: The Democrats they are they're gangsters. They don't care about
- 18:36Speaker 8: the law, and they don't care about our constitution. But
- 18:38Speaker 8: imagine if five different states come up with something that
- 18:41Speaker 8: they do that Virginia Democrats don't like. They're setting up
- 18:45Speaker 8: presidents that anytime you don't like what some other state does,
- 18:48Speaker 8: you can ignore our constitution. Then why have elected officials?
- 18:51Speaker 8: Why have a government? You know, it's just it's nonsensical, right,
- 18:55Speaker 8: And I'm hoping we prevail.
- 18:56Speaker 5: Well, yeah, if you if you can temporarily suspend your constitution,
- 19:00Speaker 5: then you really don't have a constitution, is what we've
- 19:03Speaker 5: talked about here. John, good stuff, My friend is always.
- 19:05Speaker 5: Thank you for your insights and thank you for everything
- 19:08Speaker 5: you do both on your committees and in general in Congress.
- 19:13Speaker 5: And we'll talk to you again very soon. My God
- 19:16Speaker 5: bless you brother four three four eight eight two four
- 19:19Speaker 5: two one seven for your way in on this. Like
- 19:23Speaker 5: I said, we need to know how it's impacting you
- 19:25Speaker 5: where you are a couple of quick notes, because a
- 19:30Speaker 5: lot of folks are still picking up on this idea
- 19:33Speaker 5: that and this is why they do it. So my
- 19:36Speaker 5: friend Tom says, why do they do it? JT? Because
- 19:39Speaker 5: it works the idea that Trump is only doing this
- 19:44Speaker 5: in Iran to help Republicans like John Maguire win the midterms,
- 19:52Speaker 5: which I thought was weird because I was told that
- 19:57Speaker 5: that's why the Democrats had to read district to stop
- 20:00Speaker 5: Trump from keeping a majority in the House in the midterms.
- 20:05Speaker 5: I guess it's more dire than the Democrats that made
- 20:08Speaker 5: it out to be. They're peril at not having a
- 20:12Speaker 5: majority so that they can begin impeaching President Trump. But understand,
- 20:17Speaker 5: some of the weird discordant narratives being portrayed by senators
- 20:23Speaker 5: from the Democratic Party like Tim Kaine and Mark Warner,
- 20:27Speaker 5: our specificalory booker folks like that are specifically designed to

- 20:43Speaker 5: It's moved. Epstein, It's moved everything else back on the docket.
- 20:47Speaker 5: President Trump's attack on Iran. You know the peaceful protesters,
- 20:52Speaker 5: you know that peaceful Islamic state in Iran was attacked
- 21:00Speaker 5: conscionably by President Trump. And that's why he must be impeached,
- 21:04Speaker 5: because he's abusing the authority that the Congress has given
- 21:09Speaker 5: the President ceded to the President over all those years.
- 21:12Speaker 5: So understand that first and foremost. Secondly, if there is
- 21:17Speaker 5: going to be another one of these protracted and here's
- 21:20Speaker 5: what the next week is going to be important on.

- 23:06Speaker 15: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
- 23:11Speaker 15: better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
- 23:16Speaker 15: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases. AI supports
- 23:20Speaker 15: veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
- 23:25Speaker 15: personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
- 23:31Speaker 15: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
- 23:35Speaker 15: on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
- 23:40Speaker 15: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
- 23:44Speaker 15: AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
- 23:48Speaker 15: your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
- 23:53Speaker 15: center of our profession. For more information on AI and

- 24:03Speaker 10: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 24:07Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. II
- 24:13Speaker 10: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18Speaker 10: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22Speaker 10: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26Speaker 10: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 10: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:42Speaker 10: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 24:46Speaker 10: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

- 28:31Speaker 5: I'm telling you, and I'm playing Tom Hanks or as
- 28:35Speaker 5: Kareem running the peril of breaking the metaphor machine. When
- 28:42Speaker 5: I compared the radio program to a salad bar of
- 28:45Speaker 5: all kinds of different information and points of view, he
- 28:49Speaker 5: thanked me for being the sneeze guard. Just you know,
- 28:56Speaker 5: it's one of those things you got who who who
- 28:58Speaker 5: workshopped the name of the glass that is over a
- 29:05Speaker 5: salad bar who came up with sneeze guard. It's just
- 29:11Speaker 5: what was the booger blocker was taken by someone else?
- 29:15Speaker 5: Was it copyrighted by someone else? Sneeze guard? Oh, thank you,
- 29:19Speaker 5: that's this snot guard. Next there, So the a couple
- 29:31Speaker 5: of points in this that need to be brought up.
- 29:34Speaker 5: First off, the American pilots that were killed over the weekend.
- 29:40Speaker 5: It was it's referred to in theater right now and
- 29:44Speaker 5: by Pentagon sources as friendly fire. And this one text
- 29:49Speaker 5: message from Sealy down in four corners says, I wager
- 29:55Speaker 5: the Kuwaiti missiles that brought the jets down were American
- 29:58Speaker 5: missiles filed by fired by Kuwaitis. Yeah, I didn't call them. Obviously,
- 30:07Speaker 5: the kuwait has been buying arms from the US for
- 30:11Speaker 5: some time, so it would without question. It's the chaos
- 30:16Speaker 5: of a scene. This is why you want to not
- 30:19Speaker 5: get into protracted I mean, asked historians about World War
- 30:24Speaker 5: One and what happens when you get into protracted battles
- 30:34Speaker 5: and you know the Kuwaitis are trying to shoot down
- 30:37Speaker 5: the missiles that Iran is firing at them, willy nilly.
- 30:41Speaker 5: Then there's the story of the kids, the school kids,
- 30:46Speaker 5: one hundred and sixty girls students killed in so we're
- 30:51Speaker 5: supposed to believe there's some school in Calm southern border
- 31:01Speaker 5: cities of Iran. Explosions rock southern Iran. This is the
- 31:08Speaker 5: Republic reporting massive explosions have rocked Tehran, Calm, Isfahan, I
- 31:17Speaker 5: hope I'm pronouncing it Isfahan and other major Iranian cities.
- 31:21Speaker 5: Strikes hitting IRGC headquarters, nuclear facility, leadership compounds. But out
- 31:28Speaker 5: of Minob, Southern Iran, missiles struck a school with one
- 31:35Speaker 5: hundred and sixty students there in it the missiles. A
- 31:40Speaker 5: missile also hit a clinic near the school, the Iranian
- 31:44Speaker 5: governor of Minab, Mohammad rod Murr said, and that rescue
- 31:51Speaker 5: operations are underway. Number one girls in school in Iran, really,
- 31:57Speaker 5: but the Iranian in government is falling short of saying
- 32:02Speaker 5: these were American missiles, that they were that they were
- 32:11Speaker 5: just missiles that hit the school. So we don't know
- 32:13Speaker 5: if they were fired from Kuwait or somewhere else. And
- 32:17Speaker 5: this is always what happens, is you know, when something
- 32:23Speaker 5: you know, whether it's the invasion of Ukraine, Pakistan versus Afghanistan,
- 32:38Speaker 5: it's always the civilian toll and I think what I
- 32:49Speaker 5: pointed this out on Saturday, and I'm gonna say it
- 32:52Speaker 5: again just because I'm that guy in the radio. Can
- 32:56Speaker 5: we talk to John Thune and Mike Johnson, maybe even
- 33:04Speaker 5: reach out to Hakeem Jeffreys and Chuck Schumer and say, hey, guys, really,
- 33:11Speaker 5: no fooling aside here. This is probably not the best
- 33:15Speaker 5: time in US history. If you are going to have
- 33:18Speaker 5: a Department of Homeland Security, this probably right now isn't
- 33:23Speaker 5: the time you want them working without paychecks. I'm just saying.
- 33:30Speaker 5: And for everyone who says, oh, Trump, this is all calculated,
- 33:34Speaker 5: you know, it's funny because in one breath Trump is
- 33:37Speaker 5: this calculated mastermind of all this international intrigue, and the
- 33:42Speaker 5: next one he's a bumbling thunderhead who's just you know,
- 33:46Speaker 5: having spasms. And this war was started over a Twitter
- 33:51Speaker 5: exchange with Pete Hegseith, you can't have it both ways.
- 33:58Speaker 5: I know we have off and talked about poor k
- 34:01Speaker 5: Nolos Dos. Why can't both be true? But at some
- 34:07Speaker 5: point there's a decision to be made. I was just
- 34:11Speaker 5: watching a thing about Lincoln and the Civil War, and
- 34:17Speaker 5: at some point a decision has to be made and Lincoln,
- 34:20Speaker 5: famous for his cabinet. All these folks, including some who
- 34:23Speaker 5: were opposed to him, opposite political parties and everything else. Yeah,
- 34:29Speaker 5: at that point everyone was an opposition political party basically
- 34:33Speaker 5: started up the Republican parties. The first Republican president, and
- 34:40Speaker 5: he wanted to end slavery. He also knew that keeping
- 34:42Speaker 5: the country together was his best way to do it.
- 34:48Speaker 5: And I thought it was interesting. The piece I was
- 34:51Speaker 5: watching came just up and there was a one of
- 34:55Speaker 5: the historians. They were interviewing him right up to almost
- 35:00Speaker 5: mentioning that the American government, the Union, had lost a
- 35:07Speaker 5: massive amount of tax collections when the South succeeded. This
- 35:13Speaker 5: one woman, she said, well, the agriculture out of the
- 35:16Speaker 5: South was sixty percent of America's GDP. Yeah, and like
- 35:22Speaker 5: seventy percent of their tax collections. So you succeed and
- 35:31Speaker 5: all of a sudden, hey, where'd our budget go? But
- 35:36Speaker 5: decisions had to be made at some point, attempts needed
- 35:48Speaker 5: to be made to stop the war. It was interesting
- 35:51Speaker 5: they compared Sherman's burning of Atlanta to dropping the Big
- 35:57Speaker 5: Ones on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. That the Union army didn't
- 36:02Speaker 5: see the Confederacy giving up anytime soon. So they said,
- 36:05Speaker 5: we better start making a damn point of saying that
- 36:09Speaker 5: this is not going to go well for you. There's
- 36:14Speaker 5: the same tactical thing that Truman did when he dropped
- 36:18Speaker 5: the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, when he saw the
- 36:21Speaker 5: millions and millions of people who die just to take
- 36:25Speaker 5: one beach. Decisions have to be made. But now this
- 36:32Speaker 5: part comes and I like this email from Mike who
- 36:35Speaker 5: writes in he said, I love the analogy to the
- 36:39Speaker 5: colonials at Yorktown. So what I said was that when
- 36:46Speaker 5: France arrived in the American War to expel the occupying
- 36:51Speaker 5: British army from our soil, you might know it more colloquially,
- 36:55Speaker 5: less wordy, but more accurate, call it that than the
- 36:58Speaker 5: American Revolution. But after a while it's just what we
- 37:03Speaker 5: call it. The French arrive in Yorktown just as Nathaniel
- 37:16Speaker 5: Greene and his forces have drawn the British troops and
- 37:19Speaker 5: Cornwallis into this trap, basically crossing their fingers and hoping
- 37:25Speaker 5: that the French will be there in time for them
- 37:28Speaker 5: to surround them. And so the French arrive and the
- 37:35Speaker 5: British give up and surrender. This is what happens this
- 37:43Speaker 5: week has to be what happens next in America, which
- 37:46Speaker 5: was Washington, et cetera. Go to Annapolis where the government
- 37:51Speaker 5: was at the time, and talked to Congress about what
- 37:54Speaker 5: kind of government is going to come next. If they
- 37:57Speaker 5: don't do that, we made a huge mis stake.
- 38:01Speaker 19: Life can change so abruptly. Just ask Paul. He's a
- 38:05Speaker 19: hardworking entrepreneur, he's young, he's got a young family. Suddenly, though,
- 38:09Speaker 19: he develops a rare medical condition where he lost the
- 38:12Speaker 19: use of both of his arms.
- 38:14Speaker 16: I could no longer drive a car, couldn't use a computer,
- 38:16Speaker 16: could type, couldn't use a mouse. I could not hold
- 38:18Speaker 16: my son, who was about a month old.
- 38:20Speaker 19: Paul and his family were facing a mountain of medical bills,
- 38:23Speaker 19: but they're so thankful that they're members of metas Share.
- 38:27Speaker 16: I think if someone asked me, like, hey, does medicare
- 38:30Speaker 16: really work? I'm living proof that it works. My four
- 38:33Speaker 16: children are living proof that it works. My arms, which
- 38:36Speaker 16: have been healed, are living proof that Menashare works. Just
- 38:40Speaker 16: knowing the emotional peace of mind, knowing that our needs
- 38:42Speaker 16: are going to be taken care of when we have
- 38:44Speaker 16: some type of medical problem. That is such a huge
- 38:46Speaker 16: blessing to us.

- 42:58Speaker 13: Probably, it's been twenty three minutes.
- 43:02Speaker 6: Since I ate.
- 43:03Speaker 13: I can probably swim.
- 43:05Speaker 6: You should wait thirty minutes. Okay, I'll tell me what
- 43:08Speaker 6: to do. Can it bar.
- 43:12Speaker 7: Cramp?
- 43:13Speaker 13: I have a cramp.
- 43:16Speaker 2: I can probably hit the green from here?
- 43:19Speaker 10: Probably?
- 43:24Speaker 22: Can I get a mulligan.
- 43:26Speaker 21: Ready to go?
- 43:27Speaker 8: Hey?

- 43:29Speaker 14: Yeah?
- 43:30Speaker 6: I'm pretty sober.
- 43:32Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
- 43:35Speaker 13: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
- 43:39Speaker 13: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
- 43:42Speaker 13: or a friend. Buzz driving is drunk driving? A message

- 43:57Speaker 21: Don't Serve Teens program and the Federal Trade Commission.
- 44:11Speaker 3: From the home of the First Amendment. First thing Todays
- 44:20Speaker 3: from they got.
- 44:21Speaker 5: Free speech tourists said Dr Jesus, one of these.
- 44:28Speaker 1: He says the.
- 44:31Speaker 5: Word they stops.
- 44:41Speaker 4: To stop.
- 44:43Speaker 5: Oh yeah, for those who they get to all or
- 44:50Speaker 5: nothing with us, you will acknowledge anything.
- 44:57Speaker 6: Jesus curates and mods.
- 45:01Speaker 8: Friday after the.
- 45:05Speaker 17: Degrees.
- 45:06Speaker 15: How come.
- 45:09Speaker 5: So you know, once the spanner is done into the
- 45:12Speaker 5: work and nobody wants soldiers to have to go off
- 45:14Speaker 5: to theater, to die, to be injured to come back.
- 45:18Speaker 5: I remember asking as we headed off into Iraq, I said,
- 45:24Speaker 5: are we ready? I was broadcasting out of Coatesville, Pennsylvania,
- 45:29Speaker 5: which is the home of a big VA hospital, and
- 45:32Speaker 5: I said, are we ready for the influx of new veterans.
- 45:36Speaker 5: It had been the first time we had had soldiers
- 45:39Speaker 5: in a in a theater for a very long time.
- 45:42Speaker 5: And remember the nurse from the Coatesville VA calling me
- 45:47Speaker 5: and saying, live on the air, Joe, we don't have
- 45:50Speaker 5: enough nurses and doctors for the veterans we have right now.
- 45:54Speaker 5: So I mean, there are things you have to consider
- 45:56Speaker 5: in and beyond, beyond and above just the kinetic of
- 46:00Speaker 5: the moment. But that being said, everyone who's trying to
- 46:04Speaker 5: pretend that Iran was this little sheep that was just
- 46:08Speaker 5: munching grass on the side of the hill and some
- 46:11Speaker 5: guy in a fifty cow mounted on the back of
- 46:14Speaker 5: his lifted jeep his blew his entire inside up against
- 46:18Speaker 5: the wall and drove away laughing. Is completely lost to
- 46:24Speaker 5: the narrative of the marginalized communities. And you know, I
- 46:31Speaker 5: understand a quick tangent on what a marginalized community means.
- 46:36Speaker 5: That's just like saying somebody is unhoused, as if it's
- 46:39Speaker 5: somebody's job to put you in a margin somewhere. And
- 46:46Speaker 5: Iran has been one of the most suppressive regimes on
- 46:51Speaker 5: the planet ever, and we're acting like they were just
- 46:55Speaker 5: a bunch of freedom fighters just out there trying to
- 46:59Speaker 5: live their way, and why did we have to stop them?
- 47:03Speaker 5: And it's going to be the narrative You're going to
- 47:05Speaker 5: get sold for the rest of the week. Couple of
- 47:08Speaker 5: quick things here from the oh, by the way standpoint,
- 47:15Speaker 5: our friends in the Ukrainian conflict drones, and you know
- 47:20Speaker 5: this is where coordination is important. So drones, Ukrainian drones
- 47:26Speaker 5: hit Russia oil terminal in Novverysik and I'm like, dude,
- 47:35Speaker 5: come on, Russia just said they were going to up
- 47:37Speaker 5: their oil supply deliveries to make up for what we've
- 47:41Speaker 5: stopped in Iran. Don't do this, expect us to support you.
- 47:46Speaker 5: And again the idea of supporting someone is weird when
- 47:50Speaker 5: you try to listen and for consistency at all. Out
- 47:54Speaker 5: of the folks on the talking head media's let me
- 47:57Speaker 5: get Andy is on the line with us at four
- 47:59Speaker 5: three four eight eight two four two one seven. Good morning, Andy.
- 48:03Speaker 5: How are you doing, sir?
- 48:05Speaker 23: Doing great? I set my alarm for four fifty two
- 48:08Speaker 23: every morning.
- 48:09Speaker 5: And it hasn't had any ill side effects I can tell.
- 48:13Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 48:14Speaker 23: It's I'm not coming late to the the pro to
- 48:18Speaker 23: the party, you know. Just uh, it's fascinating to think
- 48:24Speaker 23: that that these senators don't get out of the way
- 48:30Speaker 23: of themselves.
- 48:31Speaker 8: You know.
- 48:32Speaker 23: I think it was it was was it the seventy
- 48:35Speaker 23: two or the seventy four Congress when there was this
- 48:39Speaker 23: big movement for uh term limits, and I remember there
- 48:44Speaker 23: was this very conservative and very large human from Arizona
- 48:50Speaker 23: and he would go on to the floor of the
- 48:52Speaker 23: House and you know, he just said, look, I'm here
- 48:56Speaker 23: for maybe two terms, but uh, you know how much
- 49:00Speaker 23: what I can and get out? And he actually held
- 49:03Speaker 23: his promise we have by contrast of a congressman here
- 49:10Speaker 23: in Sarasota, and because you know, the area has grown
- 49:15Speaker 23: so much, or at least a part of it, and
- 49:17Speaker 23: there's less representation per person, which is something you talk
- 49:21Speaker 23: about all the time. And you know, he's like, he's
- 49:26Speaker 23: like loving the power that this other guy went to
- 49:32Speaker 23: walk away from. I mean, you know, thirty plus years now,
- 49:39Speaker 23: and you know he has a part of a Ford
- 49:41Speaker 23: dealership here Andy. He's just kind of the I wouldn't
- 49:46Speaker 23: say he's quite fabian, but close.
- 49:49Speaker 5: Yeah, it's hard to tell sometimes, but that's what happens
- 49:53Speaker 5: is they they enjoy the money, they enjoy the perks,
- 49:58Speaker 5: and you know, I don't know, I've never been offered
- 50:01Speaker 5: that kind of largees just for simply doing you know,
- 50:06Speaker 5: because it's a sneaky game. They'll get you to do
- 50:08Speaker 5: something you were going to do anyway. But once they've
- 50:12Speaker 5: involved themselves into the decision, then they have you. And
- 50:16Speaker 5: then it becomes a little by a little incrementally asking
- 50:19Speaker 5: you to step outside your normal you know, right and
- 50:22Speaker 5: wrong decision making tree just a little bit, just a
- 50:25Speaker 5: little bit here, compromise a little bit there, and before
- 50:28Speaker 5: you know it, you don't even recognize yourself anymore.
- 50:32Speaker 23: So right after the Revolutionary War ended, you know, they
- 50:36Speaker 23: were trying to get Patrick Henry to be involved either
- 50:40Speaker 23: as like the Supreme Court, like a head of Supreme
- 50:43Speaker 23: Court or something, and he was like, nope, like this
- 50:49Speaker 23: is this is not what we fought for, right I
- 50:53Speaker 23: think when very close to his death, you know, they
- 50:56Speaker 23: had finally gotten whatever form of that we have right now,
- 51:02Speaker 23: and he made a comment to one of his you know,
- 51:06Speaker 23: close friends, we've lost and so you know through I
- 51:12Speaker 23: guess three years, three terms the first couple of I
- 51:17Speaker 23: guess something like that, you know, the term limits governor,
- 51:24Speaker 23: but also raised all the money.
- 51:25Speaker 4: For the war.
- 51:26Speaker 5: Here's here's the thing that you know, Virginia was one
- 51:30Speaker 5: of the first to pay that back. But here's here's
- 51:34Speaker 5: one of my things Andy about term limits. If you
- 51:37Speaker 5: limit the power the centralized government has, then they will self,
- 51:44Speaker 5: you know, eliminate that. You know, you won't need term
- 51:47Speaker 5: limits because no one will want to stay there all
- 51:50Speaker 5: that time and stay away from their law practice or
- 51:53Speaker 5: their real estate agency or anything like that, because it's
- 51:58Speaker 5: the power that is corrupting the cys them, not the
- 52:00Speaker 5: system corrupting the power, but I've got to run. I've
- 52:04Speaker 5: got the news coming up here, and God bless you.
- 52:06Speaker 10: Sir doing it.
- 52:08Speaker 23: Just you know we're out here fighting.
- 52:10Speaker 5: I amen to that, sir, God bless you, and thank
- 52:13Speaker 5: you for tuning in. It's just a reality check in
- 52:16Speaker 5: the morning, and it's not trying to be cute by
- 52:18Speaker 5: half or anything like that. I know that there are
- 52:22Speaker 5: real concerns about soldiers in the field and what could
- 52:25Speaker 5: come of it and safety here in America, which is
- 52:28Speaker 5: why I'm the only one I hear asking the question, Hey,
- 52:31Speaker 5: shouldn't we work on getting the DHS budget funded now? Especially?
- 52:36Speaker 5: But that could just be me. I'm just weird that way,
- 52:40Speaker 5: and you know, I guess you by adjunct, by association,
- 52:43Speaker 5: you can be weird as well. I am Joe Thomas
- 52:46Speaker 5: until Tuesday morning. Enjoy the Monday, so long and thanks
- 52:49Speaker 5: for all the fish.
- 52:51Speaker 4: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
- 52:55Speaker 4: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
- 52:57Speaker 13: It was meticie that came through for us, and there
- 53:00Speaker 13: was no hassles, there was no problem.
