• 0:08
  Speaker 1: all natural and free of artificial intelligence.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Stuart said, steal me Stem. You have a day at
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: least for work when the sun comes.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Up, drops a kid to school on the way. Joeys

  Speaker 3: eything agenda all the.
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: Chasure said and needs no.

  Speaker 2: One that Joe's as smile.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: He only aims PG.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Let them be Joe, thank you for letting us be
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: of service to you this Groundhog Day, Yo pour three
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: four eight eight two four two one seven. The royalties
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: that Sonny and Share make on this day, ask Cap
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: and BM. I just don't have enough Ledger space to
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: pick up all the radio stations that wheel out. I
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: got you, Babe for Groundhog Day. As the one thing
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: AI can't do it might try Claude, might try this.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: See if he, you know, can't recreate what it would
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: look like, you know, pretty straightforward, you know, and all
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: the mystery if it's gonna be Sonny and Gobbler's knob.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: And to be fair, I think the radio coverage of
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Groundhog Day is driven mostly by the inner middle schooler
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: in most radio personalities that just giggle internally over saying
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Gobbler's knob because we're infants. But if you look at
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: the forecast and say, well, is it going to be
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: sunny or cloudy today, you will know they're not puns.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Tony Phil, whoever your local version. Speaking of Claude, I
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: know that when I lived up in Hyennas, a couple
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: of towns would pull lobsters out of a tank and
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: see if the lobster saw its shadow or not. You know,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: and everyone's got their local flavor prairie dogs and New
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: York used to pull a rat out of the East
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: River and you know, let it run around and see
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: if it sees its shadow or not. Then some somebody
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: would take a rifle out and shoot it back back
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: in the day when you know, normal people in New
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: York had firearms. So yeah, we sit in we wait,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: although you know, in Central Virginia and North Carolina and
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: places like that, we're just hoping that the snow and
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: ice melts from last week, never mind the stuff that
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: fell over this past weekend. That's that's all we care about.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: We don't at this point. It's going to take six
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: weeks for the snow and ice to melt off anyway,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: So as we get together on this Monday morning. Four three, four,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: eight eight, two four to two one seven is the
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: important number because we'll run down what went on last night.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: We will tell you what we think about what went
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: on last night based on our analysis of the evidence
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: left behind in the debris field. And yeah, everything leaves
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: a debris field. Have you not had children? And so
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: while we analyze the debris field, we will tell you
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: our point of view on it. And we want to
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: hear yours. How is it the news impacting you where
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: you are this morning? And here are first things for
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: this morning. The mayor of Portland, Oregon, has demanded that
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: US Immigration and Customs enforcement leave his city immediately after
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: a Saturday protest where many of the anti ICE protesters
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: brought young children and then were assaulted with tear gas.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: According to the organizers, The ICE officer said it was
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: a dispersal method to allow for activities to continue. This
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: was outside of an ICE facility during the protest that
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: organizers referred to as peaceful. Department of Homeland Security is
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: pushing back against the doxing of the names of Customs
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: and Border Protection agents who were involved in the shooting
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: of the ICE watch agitator Alex pretty DHS. This is
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: from a statement. Will never confirm or deny attempts to
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: dox our law enforcement officers. The report is based on
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: attempts to post online the names of the agents, and
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: they continue to change. So take what you will. Doxing
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: our officers, DHS continued with their statement puts their lives
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: and their families in serious danger. Would think that from
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: the protesters standpoint, that's the point. The Department of Transportation
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: has released shut down contingency plans calling for the furlough
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: of more than ten thousand Federal Aviation Administration employees if
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: the partial government shut down continues into this week. The
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: plan also says that thirteen eight hundred and thirty five
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: air traffic controllers will be required to keep working without
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: pay without collecting pay on the usual schedule. They will
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: be paid back pay. Wrote that they're working for someone, jeez,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: raising concerns of strain on the aviation system. Yeah, it
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: sounds like somebody you know. The FAA Union wrote that
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: one Republican National Committee has vastly outpaced Democrats in the
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: look for money raising ahead of the midterm elections. They
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: hold nearly one hundred million dollars ahead of Democrats. At
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: the close of twenty twenty five, according to filings from
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: the Federal Election Commission, the RNC had one hundred and
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: seventy two million dollars on hand with ninety five million
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: dollars in cash. And contrast, DNC posted just one hundred
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: and forty five million collected with only fourteen million dollars
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: on hand. Because Eric Holder spent so much in getting
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: states to start trying to read district and those are
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: our first things for this groundhog day morning, and those
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: are our first thing Fortnam, I'm kidding, I'm messing with you.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Brought to you by one twenty seven Roastery. This is
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: a ministry turned coffee roaster that makes our special bespoke
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: blend of coffee called First Free in the Morning Coffee
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: and get yours at this ministry turned roastery that sends
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: its proceeds to a orphanage in a school in Uganda
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: at one two seven Dot Coffee.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: You know a lot of times you have to choose
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: between something high quality or something that saves you money.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: But what if you could get both? Why not, especially
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: when it comes to healthcare and that is meta share,
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: you get both. Many families save five hundred bucks a
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: month with meta share, and that's huge. But it's also
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: true that people wind up way more satisfied too, and
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: we know this from research of members. There's a lot
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: they like about meta Share, but especially they love being
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: part of something they believe in. And meta share works too.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: It has for more than thirty years.
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: There are hundreds of thousands of members who love having
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: telehealth if they need it. They love the huge Ppo network.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: You can save a ton and like it better. Imagine
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: being happy with how you're taking care of your health care.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: So if you're self employed, or.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: You're part of the gig economy, or you just want
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: a plan you're happy with, you can call right now
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: and get a price in two minutes. Here's the number.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: Call eight five five share forty.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: That's eight five five share forty. Eight five five share.
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

  Speaker 8: Hi everybody, I'm Jack Hannah. It's always a boy growing
• 10:01
  Speaker 8: up on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 8: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 8: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:08
  Speaker 8: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 8: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
• 10:15
  Speaker 8: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
• 10:21
  Speaker 8: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 10:25
  Speaker 8: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29
  Speaker 8: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
• 10:41
  Speaker 8: a change.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: In their blood chemistry.
• 10:43
  Speaker 8: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
• 10:45
  Speaker 8: contribute to society and help those in need. So please
• 10:48
  Speaker 8: join me an American humane and supporting our heroic working

  Speaker 4: first to notice when a veteran you love has been

• 13:12
  Speaker 1: From the home of the First Amendment, first thing today?
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: Who the kind of been?
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: The rights? The constitutions? What's it worth? You know they're
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: going to grind us down until they're ready. Thank you
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: for letting us be of service to you this morning.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: So let me ask you a question. Who is it
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: in the history of history? Who is it that hides
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: behind children. I want to ask you that. I mean,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: I'm not being particularly intentionally being spirited about this, but
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: let's take a stock of an issue here. So in Portland,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: the agitators, the indivisibly organized, paid for at the hierarchical level.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of folks are just there to
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: be there. It's a be in because these things, these protests,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: they build their own inertia. So you want to be
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: there because all the cool kids are there, all the
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: kids who will be tributes will be spoken of them
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: at the next PTA meeting. And so you're coming down
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: to an ICE facility. You're planning to come and protest
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: ice and aggressively approach officers who are trying to secure
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: a federal piece of property. And you bring children in
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: strollers to this? Why why do you bring children in
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: strollers to such volatile situation? And I'm not saying this
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: simply because twenty nine point nine percent of all the
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: media coverages I saw officers in Portland bad. But why
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: do you bring children in strollers to such an affair?
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: If you're going to be hurling angry rhetoric? Is this
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: what you want your children to see? I thought we
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: had gone through this whole parenting stage in the world
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: where you know these kind of behaviors. No, no, no, no,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: we don't. We don't engage in those kind of behaviors.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: We don't. We don't yell in front of our children. No,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: certainly not. We don't raise our voices. No, that's that's
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: bad form. Parents don't do that, certainly not. And that's
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: the humor in this is so we're bringing our children,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: we chast in each other. Don't yell in front of
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: the kids. Don't use language like that in front of
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: the children I've raised. My oldest child is thirty years old.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Don't say words like that. I've never had a problem
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: because I'm I don't work from a script, so I
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: have wheedled the profanities out of my system. I know
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: where they usually go, and I can usually make a
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: statement and pull up just short of dropping a word
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: that might get me in trouble with the David car crowd. Oh,
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: we didn't do this on Saturdays. David Carr is trying
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: to backtrack a lot of the stuff that has rankled
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: me about his administration at the Federal Communications Commission. I
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: want to get into that later. It's not salient to
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: us right now. So these parents bring these children to
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: see them behave in a way that they wouldn't behave
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: at home, yelling and screaming and making profanities at police
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: officers because they want their children to I guess pattern
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: their behavior after mom and dad. These folks realize, generally speaking,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: kids try hard not to behave like their parents. But ssh,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: let them find that out the old fashioned way. But
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: you bring children, some young enough to need a stroller
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: to this event, why so that you can call the
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: newspaper in the TV station and say they fired tear
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: gas and pepper spray and children. So we began the
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: segment with a ponderable for you. Riddle me this listener
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: at four three, four eight eight two four two one seven.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Are there any other groups in the world that hide
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: their activities behind children? I'll put it out this way. Say,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: let's say of a group. Can you think of any
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: groups that put their command and control centers underneath elementary
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: schools and hospitals? If they hide their munitions and their
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: weapon making facilities underneath elementary schools and churches and hospitals,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: any groups like that you can think of? I mean,
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: we'll grade on a curve here. You don't have to
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: call me right now with your answer, But I think
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: you know the kind of terror rists that do that. What. Oh,
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, did I give away the answer? Well, it's okay.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: These most of these same folks were marching on behalf
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: of Hamas. Anyway, even the Jewish ones still is a
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: face palm in the morning. But we, Sally fourth kareem
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: rites in gold of my ear. We can forgive the
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Arabs for killing our children. We cannot forgive them for
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: forcing us to kill their children. We will only have
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: peace when the Arabs with the Arabs, when they love
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: their children more than they hate us. Great point, which
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: is a great lady, great you know in the pantheon,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: along with folks like George Washington, it's because they know
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: the Western world cherish children. Because the Western world cherishes children,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: what's the best way to get the Western world to
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: pull up short and aggressively approaching the Marxist ideologies of
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: these movements. Hide them behind children, and you're gonna hear
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: lots and lots And I'm not saying having been tear
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: gassed and having been subjected to pepper spray thanks to
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: the summer of discontent here in our flagship city of Charlottesville.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: I know it's not fun, So why would you bring
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: a child? Why would you bring an infant in a
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: stroller to such an affair because you're trying to bait
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: those who must defend a federal facility. Now, do you
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: want to have a debate over whether you have a
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: federal facility? We're going through that right here in our
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: flagship area. We've got ice. There was an ACLU list
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: of ice facilities that were proposed to take over shuttered
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: jail facilities, and one of them is right here in
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Augusta County, Virginia, Craigsville, and the community said, WHOA, I
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: don't know if we want And I'm still curious. I
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: was talking to one of the members of Virginia's House
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: of Delegates about it. I'm wondering whether the community is
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: more concerned with the type of people that would be
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: inside the facility or the type of people that would
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: be outside the facility. Thus, our example for this morning
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: out of the fine city of Portland, and so many

• 24:31
  Speaker 6: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,

  Speaker 2: So let me let me pick up where we left
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: off at four three four eight eight two four two
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: one seven. The question before us is how do you
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: deal with these agitators when they have a codre of
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: lawyers knowing full well and able to lay out perfectly
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: how these rights. These insurrections are supposed to go around
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: federal facilities, and they're designed to make federal authorities do
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: something that they can then turn around, show to the
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: press and say, isn't this horrific? That's the issue, because
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: that's what they spend most of the money on our
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: attorneys to pour through US code and local code to see, hmm,
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: what is it can we get away with here? What
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: can we push these authority figures around till they do
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: something bad like turning on the fire hoses on us Now,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: unlike the civil rights marchers of the sixties, though, these
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: folks still I cannot make this point enough, still have
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: not pointed to one piece of US Code that they
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: want to change regarding our immigration. Now, one we could
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: have a discussion if they said, hey, here, this piece
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: of paper is wrong. This is this law keeps people
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: from getting in whatever it may be. The best I've
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: ever come across is the argument that it's too hard
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: to get to the American Consulate to apply for asylum
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: in their home countries. Now, you talk to a lot
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: of folks who have sought asylum from all manners of
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: horrors in their home countries, A majority of them have
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: to escape to another country first. If you listen to
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: so many of these asylum seekers stories, they've fled country
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: a across the border into Country B next door, and
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: then they can access to the American it and get
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: on with they're getting on. So the argument is somewhat
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: porous in the fact that most people, if they're truly
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: seeking asylum or trying to just get out, trying to flee.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Ask the folks in Sub Saharan Africa about fleeing genocide,
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: real genocide and being poor is not fun, but it's
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: not a reason to seek asylum. There was one person
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: that pointed out, well, we have too high a bar
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: for what asylum is. If that was the case, a
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: lot of folks in New York would be seeking asylum
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: in Connecticut because maybe there's higher paying jobs there than
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: they are in New York. The lawyers have so thoroughly
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: gone through the system so that they can tell their charges.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Here's what you need to do, here's how you have
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: to very carefully say. And if you listen to the
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: repeated slogan earring out of these ice protests, you will
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: hear the practiced and legally vetted phraseologies that fit into
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: the lyrical turn of a phrase. Hey hey ho ho.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: I wonder if any of the lawyers that have to,
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: you know, go through this ever sit there going through
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: the vess like, all right, so how do we make
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: this rhyme with hey hey ho ho? I mean, these
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: are the whimsies that sometimes pick me up. But so
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: in Portland a couple of text message responses at four three,
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: four eight eight two four two one seven regarding hiding
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: behind children, as I said, wrote in quoting gold in
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: my ear, somebody who knows a little bit about facing
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: off against people who are trying to force them to
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: do bad things. We can forgive the Arabs for killing
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: our children. We cannot forgive them for forcing us to
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: kill their children. We will only have peace with the
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: He goes on to add hiding behind the Epstein leagues
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Arabs will never love their children as much as Israel
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: already does. And that's an interesting turn. We haven't picked
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: up on the Epstein file data dump that happened right
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: before the partial government shut down on Friday, but through
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: the weekend I've run into several people who are still
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: maintaining that the Epstein operation was a masade setup designed
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: to corrupt the decision making of American personnel. And I
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: want to posit this to you because I thought this
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: was an interesting take on it. It wasn't that, this
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: one expert wrote. It wasn't that Israel was concerned that
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: America would continue to support them as an abstract however,
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: given the fact that the American leadership changes every two
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: to four years, their concern being that we are their
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: number one backstop against what you can see in the
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: world is turning on Israel, and they're still working on
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: getting the United States to turn on Israel. What happens
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: in three years time when there's another president, be it
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: jd Vance or Abigail Spanberger. I'll give you a minute
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: to pull back onto the road if you're driving right now, Ma,
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: she's being groomed. She's being groomed to be the moderate
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: voice of the radical left. We used to think that
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: there was a binary with Abigail Spenberg or our new
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: governor here in Virginia, but it isn't. So what they've
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: done is they've picked a moderate, given her all the
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: radical positions to launder so that they can come across
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: sounding less radical. I mean, we have things coming through
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: that are heading to her desk that would put price
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: controls on rental housing from the state government doubling of
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: the income tax, plus a mind numbing number of sales
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: taxes that will be instituted on everything from including ironically
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: hiring somebody to do your taxes for you. But she's
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: going to be the moderate face of that which ilhan
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Omar and Alexandra Occasional Cortex promote. And certainly she would
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: never hide behind children. No, no, she would never ask
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: you to. She will express empathy with those who did
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: come down to peacefully protest ICE and its immigration and
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: customs enforcement, taking our neighbors, taking our neighbors out of
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: our cities, robbing us of our low cost kitchen help
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: and our domestic assistance. How dare these people? Don't they
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: know that we need a permanent underclass of people when
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: we get back. Going to address an email that I
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: received last week on my contention that we are not
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: facing the beginning of a new civil war, We're just
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: facing the reignition of the old one, with the parties
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: playing the same roles. The Democratic Party is supporting those
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: who want a permanent underclass of servants at They didn't
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: even have to go ship them over from Africa this time,
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: just had to send some buses down to Central Mexico
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: and bust them on up here while they filled out
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: their Joe Biden immigration app paperwork. So while we face
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: this schism, we have to remember that what all these
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: protests amount to are not intellectually or even socially the
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: same as the civil rights marches, because instead of asking
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: for people to stop denying people rights, these folks are
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: protesting in order to give people handouts.

  Speaker 9: According to a new report from Discovery Education, ninety two
• 38:04
  Speaker 9: percent of students say that engaging lessons make school more fun,
• 38:08
  Speaker 9: and more than ninety percent of educators said engagement is
• 38:11
  Speaker 9: critical for student achievement. Student engagement is essential for learning,
• 38:15
  Speaker 9: but gaps remain about how to achieve, measure and sustain
• 38:18
  Speaker 9: student's interest in the classroom. Although sixty three percent of
• 38:22
  Speaker 9: students agreed that students are highly engaged in school, only
• 38:26
  Speaker 9: forty five percent of teachers and fifty one percent of
• 38:28
  Speaker 9: principles surveyed agreed with the same statement. Educators disagreed on
• 38:33
  Speaker 9: the top indicators of engagement. Seventy two percent of teachers
• 38:37
  Speaker 9: said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of student engagement,
• 38:41
  Speaker 9: while fifty four percent of superintendents rate performing well on
• 38:44
  Speaker 9: assessments as a top engagement indicator. Also, two thirds of
• 38:49
  Speaker 9: students said they believed that AI could help them learn faster,

• 44:38
  Speaker 2: So you've heard me in the past make the case
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: that we are not twindling towards a new civil war.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: As many folks on the both the right and the
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: left will eat up column space, substack, is it a substack?
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: Call it column space? Their blog posts, their social media
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: off filled with the idea that we're perilously on the
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: perch of a new civil war. And we're not. We're not.
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: And I'm not the only one who agrees with me
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: when I say this, but I have been the first
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: one out here saying it, which is we're actually just
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: finding a or feeling the reconflagration of the old Civil War.
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: We thought we put it out at Appomattox Courthouse, but
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: we didn't. And now it makes sense as to why
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: all these people, like the ones who are protesting out
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: in Portland wanted us to take down all our Civil
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: War monuments easier for us to forget what it was
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: exactly that we were doing there. I mean, never mind
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: not teaching what January sixth was to the kids in school.
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: And the basis of this is that we have now
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: a population and I've listened to the folks at these
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: ice march is the hands off my Healthcare and the
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: no Tyrants and all of the different marches all saying
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: the same thing. Many of them are the same people
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: just saying all saying the same thing that we need
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: these people here, these people to do jobs that Americans
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: won't do. They leave a bit off. It sounds like
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: there's a period at the end of that sentence. Oh
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: for the days of Victor Borga. Do you remember the
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: sounds Victor Borga once told the children watching Sesame Street,
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: that would be great if punctuation marks came with a
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: sound like was period and it was a comma. See
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: at the end of that statement, these are people doing
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: jobs that Americans don't want to do. See there's a
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: comma there and not a period. Here's the unspoken remainder
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: of that sentence is at the price Americans would demand
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: to do it. I don't want to wash dishes. I
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: have washed dishes and restaurants, and I worked for people
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: who explained why it was important that it was important
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: to have the clean dishes at our restaurant. Okay, so
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: I felt like I was contributing to the restaurant, and
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: many folks don't. And I want to pick up, and
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: we got folks ringing in and I want to get
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: to you in a moment on the phone, but first
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: I want to read this email because on this one
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: of my dear friends and one of the most loyal
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: listeners I have is Raymond. And Raymond will call on occasion,
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: but often he'll write. And he's a wonderful advisor if
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: you will an advisor slash listener, because he'll question often
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: the points I make, and they're good because that helps
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: you hone down and fine tune, and sometimes it'll help
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: you identify where there's a hole in your logic. Heaven submit.
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: But ray writes in on the subject of this being
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: just a reconflagration of our old civil war with the
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: same parties taking up for the same industry. He writes,
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: the comparison you make between slavery during the Antebellum period
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: and our current gray economy based on illegal aliens today,
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: does not work. For one thing, the illegals are not
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: brought here in chains. They can and do leave when
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: they choose, and when thrown out, will often return illegally.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: Before you yell at me, he writes in parentheses, I
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: am not including here the problem of human trafficking, which
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: is a different parallel. And I would never I might
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: disagree with you, Ray, but that's never. You sound like
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: my wife. You know, what do you mean I'm yelling
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: at you. I always feel like she's yelling at me.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: It might be the raised voice and the angry look
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: on her face, but that's just between me and her.
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: The current situation, he writes, it is much more like
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: the immigration we had during the late nineteenth and early
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: twentieth centuries, when large numbers of peasants from Eastern and
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: Southern Europe flooded through Ellis Island. These East Europeans did
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: not form a permanent underclass they had. They or their
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: children quickly moved up from common laborers into skilled labor,
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: small business owners, and the professions. There are plenty of
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: signs that the current influx will do likewise every society,
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: Ray concludes, And I'm going to pick up a couple
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: of points in here. In a second, don't jump ahead.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: Every society and economy has unskilled jobs that need doing. Generally,
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: there are people who do them who have not fitted
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: themselves for anything better, people who are willing to start
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: off at the bottom and work their way up. We though,
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: through bad social policies, have rendered these people in our
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: society so inept physically or psychologically that the are unfitted.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: You imply that it is simply a matter of offering
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: a reasonable wage. I didn't. But again, don't jump ahead.
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: It would be fascinating to see how much you would
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: have to offer Americans to pick vegetables, lawyer or football
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: player wages. I expect if we are not going to
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: allow cheap third world labor, we would probably be better
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: off socially if we went back to raising our own children,
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: cleaning our own houses, growing our own vegetables, and enduring
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: much higher housing costs New York tenements. Anyone cheers Ray,
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: So Ray a couple of quick points. Number One key
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: in your discernment of the nineteenth and twentieth century immigration
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: is the words Ellis island. These folks, unless you're equating
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: the Joe Biden asylum app to going through the vetting
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: processes and the medical checks that were required to get
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: through Ellis Island, which it's not even close. So these
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: were folks who came through a legal process of gaining citizenship.
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: They had to have sponsor, they had to have somewhere
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: to go. Someone was waiting for them in some place
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: to go and help them assimilate, if you will. And
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: it wasn't perfect. We wound up with the Irish mobs
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: of New York and then the mafia that grew out
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: of those immigrations. But these were folks who had legal
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: protections until they committed criminal activities. The second point that
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: you're bringing up is whether or not these folks were
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: brought here in chains or not. They have been chained
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: to the idea that there's better money than they were
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: making at their home country, certainly, but these are also
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: folks who have been encouraged to leave their home countries
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: much in the same way the Sub Saharan African were.
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: And the last bit about the economy of scale, yeah,
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: we would have to either pay more for a cup
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: of coffee at a restaurant, that would have to pay somebody.
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: And the irony is these are folks who the protesters
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: like the ones outside the Portland Ice facility, are the
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: same ones who will show up in protest for living
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: wages and then support the idea of using undocumented citizens
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: to do the medial tasks of like cleaning up after
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: them at the coffee shop. The hypocrisy is bad, but
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: it is again the idea that these are people doing
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: things that we don't want to pay a lot for,
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: but we expect a lot for, and that's something societally,
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: you and I Ray agree totally we need in today's
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: troubled world.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: Are USA Armed Forces stand ready to protect you and
