- 1:31Speaker 2: Explosive report from Clemson University. I want to get in
- 1:37Speaker 2: to this because it goes into well, it goes into everything.
- 1:41Speaker 2: It's it's practicing your gazintes, is what it is. You've
- 1:45Speaker 2: got to practice your gazintes when you're in school. And
- 1:49Speaker 2: this goes into everything, and it's the sixties all over again.
- 1:56Speaker 2: And I'm sorry for you know, you know, And I
- 2:02Speaker 2: love Tucker Carlson, you know, I think he's done some
- 2:05Speaker 2: great things, but he's in a world that he doesn't
- 2:08Speaker 2: understand and I do the world of trying to be popular,
- 2:13Speaker 2: and he's never had to do it before. He's always
- 2:16Speaker 2: just been able to be who he wants to be.
- 2:18Speaker 2: But now you've got to chase the clickthroughs. You got
- 2:21Speaker 2: to chase the clickthroughs, and he's not doing very well
- 2:24Speaker 2: with it. And maybe what we found from Clemson University
- 2:29Speaker 2: can explain a little bit of that. We'll tell you more.
- 2:31Speaker 2: The latest from Iran plus governments moving to shadow band
- 2:38Speaker 2: organizations they don't agree with. They've come up with creative
- 2:42Speaker 2: new legal ish alternatives to trying to remove the First Amendment,
- 2:47Speaker 2: which they found doesn't poll well. Oh and speaking of polling,
- 2:51Speaker 2: new polling data on what Americans think about what we're
- 2:55Speaker 2: doing with Iran, despite what Clemson tells us. So all
- 3:01Speaker 2: that coming up for you on this Friday morning, fund
- 3:04Speaker 2: and frolic to be had it. We'll have some fun
- 3:07Speaker 2: along the way too. But here are the first things
- 3:11Speaker 2: that we are working on. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessett
- 3:17Speaker 2: yesterday was asked if there's a point he would tell
- 3:20Speaker 2: the president that the military action in Iran had become unaffordable,
- 3:26Speaker 2: and he said no. Iran's UN ambassador said Thursday that
- 3:32Speaker 2: the government was not going to close the Strait of Hormuz,
- 3:36Speaker 2: but it could, adding that it has the right to
- 3:39Speaker 2: preserve the security of that key shipping route past its borders.
- 3:44Speaker 2: A national survey of likely voters by the mcglauchlin Group
- 3:48Speaker 2: shows that strong support for military action against Iran. Fifty
- 3:53Speaker 2: seven percent of those survey of likely voters said they
- 3:57Speaker 2: backed the military action. Nine nine percent said President Trump
- 4:02Speaker 2: should finish the job. Japan's government is going to tell
- 4:06Speaker 2: the United States next week that it's going to join
- 4:10Speaker 2: the Golden Dome missile defense program. Yo Miyori newspaper reported Friday,
- 4:18Speaker 2: citing government officials, that Prime Minister Sunai Takeichi will announce
- 4:24Speaker 2: the plan when she meets with the President on March
- 4:27Speaker 2: Nineteenthate Democrats failed in a bid yesterday to fund the
- 4:32Speaker 2: Transportation Security Administration, so blame them for the long lines
- 4:37Speaker 2: at the airports. Republicans demanding lawmakers approved funding for the
- 4:41Speaker 2: entire Department of Homeland Security. Leaders of the largest Reform
- 4:47Speaker 2: synagogue in the nation in Michigan are reeling after an
- 4:53Speaker 2: attempt was made on their synagogue yesterday by an armed gunman.
- 5:00Speaker 7: Here working with our state, local and federal partners to
- 5:03Speaker 7: investigate this incident, and I can confirm that we are
- 5:06Speaker 7: leading the investigation right now is a targeted act of
- 5:09Speaker 7: violence against the Jewish community.
- 5:12Speaker 2: The Reform synagogue said that their security guards handled the
- 5:17Speaker 2: incursion and that they are truly heroes. Our teachers followed
- 5:23Speaker 2: their training, the school went on to say, and kept
- 5:26Speaker 2: the children safe and calm us. Stocks fell Thursday, s
- 5:30Speaker 2: and P five hundred, notching its biggest three day percentage
- 5:34Speaker 2: drop in almost a month as Iranian strikes on two
- 5:37Speaker 2: oil tankers. Who wrote that that sounds like the Associated
- 5:41Speaker 2: Press wrote that, well, it's the biggest three day drop
- 5:45Speaker 2: in the last three days. Joe, those are some of
- 5:48Speaker 2: our first things. Prices did surge back to one hundred
- 5:52Speaker 2: dollars a barrel for oil, and we'll get into it
- 5:56Speaker 2: with you next at four three four eight a two
- 5:59Speaker 2: for two. Not entirely unlike mel Brooks in History of
- 6:05Speaker 2: the World Part one, we're going to get to play
- 6:07Speaker 2: Caesar's Palace on July eighth, and they love a mountain
- 6:11Speaker 2: comic there. In this case it's the Blue Rage Mountains.

- 7:01Speaker 4: Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
- 7:04Speaker 4: people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
- 7:07Speaker 4: to look into.
- 7:08Speaker 2: And that's meta share.
- 7:10Speaker 4: Maybe you've heard joining metashare can save you or your
- 7:12Speaker 4: family up to five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge,

- 7:59Speaker 1: Forty considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the
- 8:07Speaker 1: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market.
- 8:12Speaker 1: I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
- 8:18Speaker 1: our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to
- 8:22Speaker 1: any nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing
- 8:26Speaker 1: or reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31Speaker 1: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:36Speaker 1: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42Speaker 1: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46Speaker 1: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51Speaker 1: healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

- 9:58Speaker 11: Hi, everybody, I'm Jack Hannah. It's always a boy growing
- 10:01Speaker 11: up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 11: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 11: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:08Speaker 11: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 11: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 10:15Speaker 11: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 10:17Speaker 11: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21Speaker 11: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 10:23Speaker 11: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 10:25Speaker 11: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 10:29Speaker 11: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 10:32Speaker 11: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
- 10:35Speaker 11: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
- 10:38Speaker 11: from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
- 10:41Speaker 11: a change.
- 10:41Speaker 3: In their blood chemistry.
- 10:43Speaker 11: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
- 10:45Speaker 11: contribute to society and help those in need. So please
- 10:48Speaker 11: join me an American Humane and supporting our heroic working
- 10:51Speaker 11: dogs and all the amazing animals on this planet we
- 10:54Speaker 11: inhabit together. Go to American Humane dot org to learn more.
- 11:00Speaker 12: Bruh, that's buzzed.
- 11:01Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 11:05Speaker 13: And now a speech.
- 11:06Speaker 14: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
- 11:10Speaker 14: art and brain.
- 11:12Speaker 2: Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 12: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed.
- 11:15Speaker 14: And my brain is saying when it's time to go home.
- 11:18Speaker 14: Somebody call me a ride.
- 11:19Speaker 15: Love that guy, me too, know your buzzed warning signs,
- 11:23Speaker 15: call for a ride when it's time to go home.
- 11:24Speaker 2: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 11:26Speaker 5: Who did you know.
- 11:29Speaker 16: That more than half our household energy costs go to
- 11:32Speaker 16: heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just good for the environment,
- 11:36Speaker 16: It means lower utility bills too. One way to reduce
- 11:40Speaker 16: your energy waste is a home energy assessment. Your utility
- 11:44Speaker 16: company can help, or you can learn how to do
- 11:46Speaker 16: it yourself at energysavers dot gov. That's energysavers dot gov.

- 11:54Speaker 16: check ducks for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
- 11:58Speaker 16: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 12:00Speaker 16: new appliance. Look for the energy Star logo and read
- 12:04Speaker 16: the energy guide label, and there are day to day
- 12:07Speaker 16: things you can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and
- 12:10Speaker 16: raise it in the summer, close fireplay stampers when they're

- 12:32Speaker 17: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
- 12:35Speaker 17: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
- 12:40Speaker 17: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern,

- 13:11Speaker 3: From the home of the First Amendment, first thing today.
- 13:26Speaker 2: And that ought to all my friends who still vote Democrats. Well,
- 13:30Speaker 2: you know, considering the choices there, it's tough. Sometimes I
- 13:33Speaker 2: get you. I feel your player. The Fabians are everywhere,
- 13:36Speaker 2: Fabians still left to me, Fabians to the right. Here,
- 13:40Speaker 2: I am stuck in the radio with you. But that's
- 13:44Speaker 2: deeply appreciative of your taking us along on this Friday
- 13:47Speaker 2: the thirteenth, trisk gets for breakfast, Well, trisc A. Decaphobics
- 13:53Speaker 2: are the ones who are afraid of Friday the thirteenth,
- 13:58Speaker 2: and we are here to be your talisman. If you
- 14:01Speaker 2: are entering today with trepidation, thinking no fear. Not number one,
- 14:08Speaker 2: unless you're a member of the Knight's Templar, you really
- 14:11Speaker 2: never had anything to worry about on Friday the thirteenth.
- 14:15Speaker 2: But other than that, sure, it's metastasized as a superstition,
- 14:20Speaker 2: but lots of great people. I always look at Milton Hershey,
- 14:24Speaker 2: the founder of the Hershey's Chocolate Company, as a great
- 14:27Speaker 2: exemplar of people whose birthdays are September thirteenth, like mine.
- 14:33Speaker 2: But there are notable folks who actually were born on
- 14:36Speaker 2: Friday the thirteenth, like Christopher Plummer and Alfred Hitchcock, and
- 14:43Speaker 2: you know then Steve Buscemi, Darius Rucker. Then you get
- 14:48Speaker 2: into the more are we counting these as upticks? Like
- 14:53Speaker 2: the Olsen twins were born on a Friday the thirteenth,
- 14:57Speaker 2: But fear not the triskeets into it. Have a plate
- 15:01Speaker 2: of triskets with cheese or maybe some peanut butter for breakfast.
- 15:05Speaker 2: Those would be my symbols for you, so as we
- 15:08Speaker 2: dive into this Friday. Yes, the vox popular is going
- 15:16Speaker 2: around with the mclonchlin group pole, but I do want
- 15:20Speaker 2: to go there first. We can get into that. We
- 15:22Speaker 2: can get into the assaults on the temple and Old Dominion,
- 15:26Speaker 2: university and commonplace things. Do we have the clip of
- 15:32Speaker 2: the FBI spokeson, No, it's the Michigan Police spokesperson saying,
- 15:39Speaker 2: I don't want to say anything about the motive, but
- 15:43Speaker 2: it was a targeted act against the Jewish community. I'm
- 15:47Speaker 2: not quite sure how you're avoiding saying anything targeted. But
- 15:52Speaker 2: new Clemson University report, Now I understand. First off, it's
- 15:56Speaker 2: a university number two, it's in the Atlantic Coast Conference
- 16:02Speaker 2: and just got its heine paddled in the acc tournament.
- 16:06Speaker 2: Number three, it's been a long time since Dabo Sweeney
- 16:09Speaker 2: has been in the National Championship game. And number four
- 16:13Speaker 2: it's in South Carolina. So there's a lot of things
- 16:16Speaker 2: going against this poll being anything good for you and
- 16:19Speaker 2: me to talk about. But even despite all of those headwinds,
- 16:26Speaker 2: Clemson University has issued a report that has discovered that
- 16:31Speaker 2: dozens of social media accounts associated with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary
- 16:37Speaker 2: Guard Corps have been very busy. Now there are news
- 16:41Speaker 2: stories out there that they've hacked a couple of US
- 16:44Speaker 2: healthcare companies. They're the hackers and slackers in Tehran. Well,
- 16:49Speaker 2: never mind the nuclear couldn't they just take out their
- 16:52Speaker 2: Internet sites? President, Mister President, I mean, can we target
- 16:58Speaker 2: their Yahoo servers? First? I know, finding the yahoos is
- 17:05Speaker 2: always hard, except for you and me. We can find
- 17:08Speaker 2: the yahoos just like that. You look to your state
- 17:11Speaker 2: capital anyway. So these bots, these social media accounts have
- 17:16Speaker 2: been launching thousands and thousands of bot accounts in the
- 17:21Speaker 2: last month, pushing anti Israel and anti US content so
- 17:28Speaker 2: that they can be show prep for Tucker Carlson. I'm sorry,
- 17:32Speaker 2: was that way too specific? I mean, it's not just
- 17:36Speaker 2: Tucker Carlson, it's Candice Owens's you know you name it,
- 17:41Speaker 2: Joe Rogan. I mean these guys, it's like IRAN is
- 17:44Speaker 2: doing show prep for these people. Sixty two accounts across X,
- 17:52Speaker 2: Blue Sky and Instagram, because nobody uses any of those now,
- 17:57Speaker 2: but we couldn't find their TikTok handles because if there's
- 18:00Speaker 2: sixty two, all I can tell you as somebody who
- 18:05Speaker 2: continually and frustratingly gets referred to as a luddite because
- 18:09Speaker 2: people think because I don't know, the white goateee makes
- 18:14Speaker 2: me look like Colonel Sanders' poor nephew. But I get technology.
- 18:23Speaker 2: And if they have sixty two accounts on X and
- 18:27Speaker 2: Blue Sky and Instagram, two things I know for sure.
- 18:32Speaker 2: Number One, they've got to have at least as many
- 18:36Speaker 2: TikTok accounts, and number two, I'm surprised they didn't show
- 18:40Speaker 2: up on the signal app Chat. So these sixty two accounts,
- 18:46Speaker 2: just on those three were found to be connected to
- 18:49Speaker 2: the IRGC, despite claiming to be users from the United States, England,
- 18:54Speaker 2: Scotland or Ireland. These people are so good at catfishing
- 18:59Speaker 2: they could be Virginia Democrats. The report states, all these
- 19:07Speaker 2: accounts systematically amplify politically divisive content that's university speak for lies.
- 19:18Speaker 2: They also amplify disinformation lies aligned with IRGC narratives, lies,
- 19:29Speaker 2: and they are designed to exploit regional fault lines lies
- 19:34Speaker 2: to advance Iranian regime interests aka anti Semitism. Can we
- 19:41Speaker 2: get our friend John Stutz back on the phone it
- 19:44Speaker 2: it's to do an infographic on this, I mean, if
- 19:47Speaker 2: it has gotten to the point, and maybe this is
- 19:49Speaker 2: the impact of the work that John has done at
- 19:53Speaker 2: his substack page and all the research he's done into
- 19:56Speaker 2: exposing this stuff, because all this anti Semitism is all
- 20:00Speaker 2: being driven by the Islamist regimes in places like Iran.
- 20:06Speaker 2: Huh funny that you mean, just like the anti American
- 20:10Speaker 2: stuff during the sixties was being paid for by the
- 20:13Speaker 2: Soviet Union. Surely no, yes, and don't call me Shirley.
- 20:23Speaker 2: So I saw this and I thought it was notable
- 20:26Speaker 2: to point out that first and foremost, this is Clemson University,
- 20:32Speaker 2: and I'm sure it pained them deeply, almost as much
- 20:36Speaker 2: as watching Dabo Sweeney's football team not be included in
- 20:40Speaker 2: the National Championship picture yet again, or their exits from
- 20:45Speaker 2: the ACC Basketball tournament, which, to be fair in the ACC,
- 20:51Speaker 2: is more important than playing for a football national title.
- 20:56Speaker 2: It must have pained them greatly to swallow the byo
- 21:00Speaker 2: that is boiling up in them to say that all
- 21:03Speaker 2: this anti American stuff, all this anti Israel stuff, it's
- 21:10Speaker 2: coming from Iranian bot farms. Sure. Hey, free speech, right,
- 21:18Speaker 2: free speech, you know. And they'd use these internet sites
- 21:22Speaker 2: because of the three two protections, so that the sites
- 21:25Speaker 2: can't be cited and nobody can be run down for lies. Oh,
- 21:32Speaker 2: it's just social media. Oops, my bad. It's like Elon
- 21:39Speaker 2: Musk's human resources department. Oops, are bad. We hired the
- 21:42Speaker 2: wrong people. Thank you Kareem for that text string that
- 21:46Speaker 2: you captured for us. But this is how we begin
- 21:49Speaker 2: our Friday the thirteenth trisc its triscts for breakfast, annoint
- 21:53Speaker 2: them how you see fit and don't fear the thirteen
- 21:57Speaker 2: this morning on first thing today.
- 22:01Speaker 18: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National League training for Planet Fitness,
- 22:04Speaker 18: and the American Heart Association recommends that we all get
- 22:08Speaker 18: at least one hundred and fifty minutes of moderate aerobic
- 22:10Speaker 18: activity in a week's time. But here's the thing that

- 24:07Speaker 1: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 24:12Speaker 1: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18Speaker 1: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22Speaker 1: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26Speaker 1: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31Speaker 1: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 1: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:41Speaker 1: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 24:45Speaker 1: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 24:50Speaker 1: healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

- 28:14Speaker 3: the first thing today.
- 28:16Speaker 22: Information honoring is really quite ferocious. It's right up ups
- 28:20Speaker 22: to take them lines and makes them sound precocious fussings
- 28:23Speaker 22: and in Congress or mainstream outlet. So this information's origins
- 28:27Speaker 22: a slightly lost atrocious it's how you had a delighted line.
- 28:32Speaker 22: It's how you had a delighted line.
- 28:34Speaker 2: Yes, sorry, so as old as the hills, and I
- 28:39Speaker 2: mentioned things in the public record that we learned after
- 28:43Speaker 2: the fall of the Soviet Union that the Russian government,
- 28:47Speaker 2: the Soviet government had sent more money to the American
- 28:51Speaker 2: anti war movement during the nineteen sixties than they sent
- 28:55Speaker 2: to the North Vietnamese army. There's support for you. But
- 29:01Speaker 2: it began this idea that one of the tactics of
- 29:06Speaker 2: modern warfare is to make your opponent not want to
- 29:10Speaker 2: do it anymore, especially if you're fighting a publicly traded government.
- 29:16Speaker 2: Let's just that's the that's our new word for democracy,
- 29:19Speaker 2: publicly traded. So if you're you're fighting a government that
- 29:25Speaker 2: relies on public support for its government, and its government's
- 29:30Speaker 2: making the decisions based on how it's going to battle you, well,
- 29:34Speaker 2: what's the best way to make them give up on
- 29:37Speaker 2: that fight? Make them unpopular at home? So it's something
- 29:42Speaker 2: During the break, I received a phone call and I
- 29:44Speaker 2: texted some friends you know, high have low friends in
- 29:47Speaker 2: high places. Is it the other way we're in, you know,
- 29:51Speaker 2: and so far the best I can dig up for
- 29:54Speaker 2: you questions. So Russian media, okay, Bob, and Moscow called
- 29:59Speaker 2: h and he said, the Russian press they are in Moscow,
- 30:04Speaker 2: is saying that Iran has heavily damaged the USS. Abraham
- 30:09Speaker 2: Lincoln sent Com is saying absolutely not, and has actually
- 30:14Speaker 2: published pictures of the boat. Don't necessarily know whether the
- 30:19Speaker 2: pictures of the boat were taken yesterday or six months ago.
- 30:23Speaker 2: So we are going based on Iran says they blew
- 30:29Speaker 2: a hole in the side of the thing and it's
- 30:32Speaker 2: being hauled back to the United States heavily damaged with
- 30:36Speaker 2: I'm sure heavy casualties there. US scent Com is like, no, not,
- 30:43Speaker 2: and I guess that's easy enough to verify there. But
- 30:47Speaker 2: this is what's going on now. This ties into the
- 30:50Speaker 2: Clemson story, the Clemson University report of the dozens and
- 30:55Speaker 2: dozens of Iranian misinformation bots that are out there working
- 31:02Speaker 2: this kind of stuff. So you know, take this as
- 31:06Speaker 2: your your dramamine pill for the tumultuous seas ahead. This
- 31:13Speaker 2: is going to be the stuff because what they want
- 31:15Speaker 2: to do is to make President Trump's attempts especially, we
- 31:21Speaker 2: act like these people don't know what's going on. I mean,
- 31:24Speaker 2: the Hamas terrorists taking all the US money to dig
- 31:31Speaker 2: tunnels underneath Israel's border. We're sitting there with cable apparently
- 31:38Speaker 2: in the caves they were living in, watching CNN and
- 31:42Speaker 2: watching the Democratic Party fall all over itself to support
- 31:47Speaker 2: marginalized communities. So somebody in Hamas leadership said, hey, Markwood,
- 31:54Speaker 2: why don't we just get ourselves labeled a marginalized community.
- 31:59Speaker 2: And they looked around the cave they were living in
- 32:02Speaker 2: and said, yeah, certainly seems marginalized to me. Call a
- 32:06Speaker 2: Chicago ad agency and see if they'll take the contract.
- 32:10Speaker 2: And over a period of time, they rebranded themselves as
- 32:14Speaker 2: a as a marginalized community. This is how you get
- 32:18Speaker 2: all the anti semitism on our college campuses and out
- 32:21Speaker 2: of our politicians, especially the Jewish ones. That's the fear
- 32:26Speaker 2: and self loathing in Washington, DC that I find interesting. Oh,
- 32:31Speaker 2: it's our fault. If we just hadn't been Jewish, then
- 32:34Speaker 2: they wouldn't, you know. So that being said, this is
- 32:40Speaker 2: the stuff you have to watch out for. Take it
- 32:42Speaker 2: to like a dramamine tablet. Is it possible. I don't
- 32:48Speaker 2: know how much there, how much tonnage their drones carry
- 32:52Speaker 2: right now. I do know that they have, you know,
- 32:56Speaker 2: the drones they've been making for the Russian Army have
- 33:00Speaker 2: managed to damage some electric generating facilities in Ukraine pretty badly.
- 33:05Speaker 2: So I don't know. It seems like their missile targeting
- 33:09Speaker 2: technology is better than old North Koreas. But right now
- 33:15Speaker 2: it's Sentcom saying now everything's fine on the Abraham Lincoln.
- 33:19Speaker 2: That's the aircraft carrier and it's continuing to launch attacks
- 33:26Speaker 2: as part of its mission there in the Middle East.
- 33:29Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens at Rain. Iranian foreign minister
- 33:33Speaker 2: in the United Nations says, oh, we're not closing the
- 33:36Speaker 2: states of Hormus, but we could, and at some point
- 33:41Speaker 2: that's going to have to be the issue here, And
- 33:45Speaker 2: to be fair, I think it always has been since
- 33:48Speaker 2: the Iyatola rock and rolled back into Tehran. The issue,
- 33:52Speaker 2: the unspoken, the quiet part not said out loud, is
- 33:56Speaker 2: the Strait of Hormuz and all oil that goes chugging
- 34:01Speaker 2: through that area. That's always been the reason we play
- 34:04Speaker 2: paddy Cake. It's the reason Obama unfroze trillions of dollars
- 34:09Speaker 2: of Iranian money or billions, you know, considering what the
- 34:13Speaker 2: reality is worth, and it's probably worth even less today.
- 34:19Speaker 2: But when when Obama unfroze all their money so they
- 34:23Speaker 2: could go, you know by the munitions that President Trump
- 34:26Speaker 2: is burning through our reserves to destroy. You know he
- 34:31Speaker 2: did it because of the strait of horror moves. It's
- 34:34Speaker 2: the great hostage negotiator. I have your children, here are
- 34:39Speaker 2: my demands. Let me get to you at four three
- 34:42Speaker 2: four eight eight two four two one seven, shying away
- 34:46Speaker 2: from nothing. Good morning. Who's this?
- 34:49Speaker 23: Good morning, Joe.
- 34:50Speaker 2: I just have a question. Is Joel.
- 34:55Speaker 23: So with X allowing these Iranian you know, Mullow's or
- 35:01Speaker 23: whoever the the I R C D or whatever they
- 35:05Speaker 23: call them themselves high and they're on r GC and
- 35:09Speaker 23: they're on X. I think they're allowing a certain portion
- 35:13Speaker 23: of it to get on there and other websites because
- 35:17Speaker 23: it's a good method for them to be tracked. I mean,
- 35:20Speaker 23: I know Elon with all his interesting development of space
- 35:25Speaker 23: program and then his technologies, I'm sure that the Space
- 35:31Speaker 23: Force and specialized units in the Army and Air Force
- 35:35Speaker 23: are tracking them. And I don't think they want to
- 35:38Speaker 23: do one at a time. They want to do clusters.
- 35:41Speaker 2: Well, if they're smart, they're not in a cluster. If
- 35:43Speaker 2: they are, they're going to go boom in the night
- 35:45Speaker 2: at some point. That's an interesting thought about why why
- 35:49Speaker 2: would these folks. I know, our friend John has researched
- 35:53Speaker 2: to great you know, and has brought to groups like
- 35:56Speaker 2: the A d L with great frustration. You know the
- 35:59Speaker 2: fact that you know, these mullahs and these Islamist leaders
- 36:05Speaker 2: of ISIS. The isis ex account has billions of followers,
- 36:10Speaker 2: and they were like, gee, we don't know how this
- 36:12Speaker 2: kid and Old Dominion University got radicalized. I don't know
- 36:16Speaker 2: the hundreds of thousands of Twitter accounts for every Isis
- 36:21Speaker 2: mulla saying death to America on it could be. But
- 36:26Speaker 2: then they hide behind the oh, we're a social media aggregator.
- 36:30Speaker 2: You know, these folks would if they paid money for
- 36:33Speaker 2: a column or even just a straight up advertisement in
- 36:36Speaker 2: the Washington Post, which by the way, they have in
- 36:39Speaker 2: the past I've seen. I remember there was a New
- 36:42Speaker 2: York actually it was a New York Times ad that
- 36:45Speaker 2: was taken out by several of these Islamist groups that
- 36:49Speaker 2: turned out to be terrorist organizations back in the day
- 36:53Speaker 2: trying to say, oh no, not us, and which is
- 36:56Speaker 2: you have a right to say it. We have a
- 36:58Speaker 2: right to call you a liar when it turns around
- 37:01Speaker 2: and that you weren't. But as Harry Reid taught us,
- 37:05Speaker 2: Romney didn't win, did he. So lying is okay, especially
- 37:09Speaker 2: if you're a terrorist.
- 37:11Speaker 23: And they have a pretty big mountainous range. I guess
- 37:15Speaker 23: on their eastern northeastern front, which would be kind of
- 37:19Speaker 23: western Afghanistan, and then Armenia, and I guess north and
- 37:25Speaker 23: then on the northwest. I'm trying to think it's either
- 37:29Speaker 23: I don't know if it's China, I'm not sure.
- 37:31Speaker 2: But it's beautiful in any country. I mean, for the mountains
- 37:34Speaker 2: and the ranges, but you know that is in that
- 37:37Speaker 2: part of the world. That's how they divine the borders
- 37:39Speaker 2: where the mountains are. Well, our country ends pretty much
- 37:42Speaker 2: where the mountains are, which is what we didn't understand
- 37:45Speaker 2: when we split up the Cashmere region. But I'm coming
- 37:49Speaker 2: up on my break here, Joel. Last thoughts ten seconds.
- 37:53Speaker 23: And then you're dealing with ninety million plus people, so
- 37:57Speaker 23: they're gonna have to really sifts of them out or
- 38:00Speaker 23: sort them out.

- 44:17Speaker 3: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
- 44:22Speaker 2: The Reasons.
- 44:25Speaker 1: Bring in a faxive.
- 44:38Speaker 2: This text message Joe, Why shouldn't the American people have
- 44:42Speaker 2: a say in where we go to war? Well? We do,
- 44:46Speaker 2: and and that's where the advice and consent of Congress
- 44:50Speaker 2: regarding monies for this and.
- 44:56Speaker 3: A lot of what you.
- 44:56Speaker 2: Hear, especially you guys like you know both Ran Pault
- 45:00Speaker 2: him Kane leading the charge we want because in two
- 45:06Speaker 2: thousand and two the Congress wrote a blank check for
- 45:12Speaker 2: the war on terror. Presidents since then? Do I need
- 45:21Speaker 2: to play the Adam Shift clip again? Do I really
- 45:24Speaker 2: need to play Bill Maher and Adam Schiff again for you?
- 45:31Speaker 2: Just to make the case because it's hysterical if you've
- 45:43Speaker 2: never seen it. It was from last I guess it
- 45:47Speaker 2: was last Friday when Bill Maher had Adam Schiff on
- 45:54Speaker 2: the panel on his HBO show. And it speaks to
- 46:00Speaker 2: what you're saying, because yes, Congress has an authority. Here's
- 46:06Speaker 2: here is the clip of Bill Maher a statement from
- 46:10Speaker 2: the administration.
- 46:11Speaker 3: The president had the constitutional authority to direct the use
- 46:14Speaker 3: of military force because he could reasonably determine that such
- 46:17Speaker 3: use of force was in the national interest.
- 46:20Speaker 2: That's too vague for you.
- 46:21Speaker 3: Totally vague, okay, because.
- 46:23Speaker 4: That's from Obama about Libya.
- 46:26Speaker 15: Well, Obama made the argument initially that he could go
- 46:30Speaker 15: into Syria without an authorisation.
- 46:32Speaker 4: I and many others pushed back on that argument.
- 46:34Speaker 2: Which, by the way, is what we call in the
- 46:37Speaker 2: political world lie. He didn't push back on it. He said, boy,
- 46:42Speaker 2: I wish he hadn't, but he, you know, he supported it.
- 46:45Speaker 2: And it's all show pony stuff anyway, because in two
- 46:49Speaker 2: thousand and two they authorized this stuff under the blanket
- 46:52Speaker 2: War on Terror authorization. So Obama and Biden and Trump
- 47:00Speaker 2: and President Bush all had the authority. If they just said, hey,
- 47:04Speaker 2: I find that these people are state sponsors of terror.
- 47:09Speaker 2: They'll get them. And what's been hypocritical up until two
- 47:15Speaker 2: weeks ago was the Lord high mugwump. The Ayatola of
- 47:25Speaker 2: state sponsors of terror has been ignored in all of this.
- 47:30Speaker 2: Learning very well at the hands of the ex Soviets
- 47:33Speaker 2: that pull a lot of their strings or at least
- 47:35Speaker 2: send them lots of money. They learned how to do
- 47:42Speaker 2: proxy terrorism. They didn't actually have to do the terrorism.
- 47:46Speaker 2: And this I mean but President Bush wasn't wrong to
- 47:50Speaker 2: say there were state sponsors of terrorism because Al Qaeda
- 47:55Speaker 2: was not a government. That you couldn't declare war on
- 47:58Speaker 2: a government because there wasn't a government. There were places
- 48:05Speaker 2: they were hiding. Ironically, it turns out they were all
- 48:07Speaker 2: hiding in Pakistan. Never said anything bad about Pakistan. Pakistan's
- 48:13Speaker 2: got nukes too, By the way, most of them pointed
- 48:16Speaker 2: at Mumbai. So I guess as long as India exists,
- 48:20Speaker 2: Pakistan is going to be too distracted with their mania
- 48:24Speaker 2: over the existence of India to worry about shooting their
- 48:28Speaker 2: missiles at anyone else. But we got authorization to go
- 48:40Speaker 2: after these state sponsors of terror. Yet we never went
- 48:43Speaker 2: after Iran because Iran had the Straits of Hormuz. Iran
- 48:47Speaker 2: was backed by China and Russia. We didn't want to
- 48:51Speaker 2: pick that fight. Trump said, you know what, I'm done
- 48:54Speaker 2: with this. These people have been the Sun's source of
- 48:58Speaker 2: most of these state eight sponsored terrorist organizations like Hezbola
- 49:03Speaker 2: and Hamas. So let's do something about it. Let's see
- 49:08Speaker 2: if the supposed and I still say that there is
- 49:12Speaker 2: a a war room set up somewhere waiting for the
- 49:17Speaker 2: Iranian people, that we have had intel after intel after
- 49:22Speaker 2: into I mean a twenty one separate intelligence community leaders
- 49:26Speaker 2: must have signed off on a letter saying that they're
- 49:29Speaker 2: sure that there's a population of Iranians ready to take
- 49:32Speaker 2: the government right because you know, our intelligence community is
- 49:38Speaker 2: safe and effective. Yes, that was intentionally sarcastic. I'm sorry
- 49:43Speaker 2: it was. It too cute by half. You didn't catch
- 49:45Speaker 2: the whole twenty one all right, Fine, Sometimes you just
- 49:49Speaker 2: get ramped up on a Friday morning. And so finally
- 49:58Speaker 2: going after the of the MAC when it comes to
- 50:02Speaker 2: state sponsored terrorism should have been done in three to four.
- 50:10Speaker 2: I'm told by low sources in high places or something
- 50:15Speaker 2: like that that you know there had been actionable intel
- 50:20Speaker 2: all the way back then that Iran was behind the
- 50:24Speaker 2: people behind. So you know, if Afghanistan was supporting al
- 50:29Speaker 2: Qaeda as their you know, freebie military operation, outsourcing their
- 50:37Speaker 2: military it's like you know, Blackstone or something, they were
- 50:43Speaker 2: doing their military ops for them. Iran was sending the
- 50:48Speaker 2: money to it. But geopolitically there are real things like
- 50:57Speaker 2: the straits of horror. MOUs. People have asked me since
- 50:59Speaker 2: the day this happened. Remember we were the only live
- 51:03Speaker 2: national talk radio show on Saturday morning when the bombing
- 51:07Speaker 2: had begun, And since that Saturday morning we've been asked,
- 51:14Speaker 2: you know what about boots on the ground and the
- 51:18Speaker 2: only place I would even cotton to say that that
- 51:20Speaker 2: would be a necessity, because I do. I'm of two minds.
- 51:25Speaker 2: Number One, I believe our best ambassadors towards what Americans
- 51:29Speaker 2: are really like are our men and women in uniform.
- 51:35Speaker 2: And I know there will be people called, oh really, Joe,
- 51:38Speaker 2: what about all the stories from Vietnam? You mean the
- 51:40Speaker 2: ones paid for by the Russian government, the Soviets, those ones,
- 51:47Speaker 2: Because I know a lot of folks who saw a
- 51:49Speaker 2: lot of stuff in Vietnam, especially the folks who weren't
- 51:52Speaker 2: even supposed to be in Vietnam, and those stories were apocryphal,
- 51:57Speaker 2: but the Soviets picked up on them pictures of dead
- 52:03Speaker 2: women and children. Oh look at what the Americans did. Funny,
- 52:12Speaker 2: you're hearing a lot of the same stuff out of there.
- 52:14Speaker 2: So just beware double source, triple source. But understand the
- 52:18Speaker 2: fact that we do have a say. Our congressional leaders
- 52:21Speaker 2: like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton voted to support the
- 52:25Speaker 2: war on terror. They voted to support what Trump is doing.
- 52:29Speaker 2: Anyone else telling you otherwise is lying to you and
- 52:33Speaker 2: probably is an Iranian hacker. Because yes, despite all the
- 52:38Speaker 2: things we've been all the ordinance we've been dropping on them,
- 52:41Speaker 2: you still have internet service in Tehran. I know wind
- 52:45Speaker 2: blows heavy and you lose internet service in Dalton, Georgia.
- 52:49Speaker 26: But my name is Bobby. I'm a veteran and lost
- 52:54Speaker 26: my leg to a roadside bomb. My victory was going
- 52:57Speaker 26: from a wheelchair to becoming a weightlifting champion.
- 53:00Speaker 3: I'm Sam, I'm a veteran.
- 53:02Speaker 24: My victory was finding a career I can be proud
- 53:04Speaker 24: of and supporting my family.
- 53:06Speaker 15: America's veterans are on their most important tour, the tour
- 53:09Speaker 15: of their lives.
- 53:10Speaker 3: I'm a veteran. My victory was going from homeless to all.
- 53:14Speaker 15: At DAV, we're on a mission to help veterans get
- 53:17Speaker 15: the benefits they've earned.
- 53:19Speaker 18: I'm a veteran, and my victory was finishing my education.
- 53:23Speaker 15: DAV offers veterans of all generations a lifetime of support
- 53:27Speaker 15: for victories great and small.
- 53:29Speaker 2: My victory was proving that disability is not a limitation.
- 53:33Speaker 13: My victory was getting my service dog and new best friend.
- 53:36Speaker 15: We help more than a million veterans every year as
- 53:38Speaker 15: they face and conquer their challenges.
- 53:41Speaker 5: My victory is being able to be there for my family.
