  Speaker 1: And what does Baron Von Rubinus do?
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: He starts monologuing.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: He starts monologuing.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: We've got the cost of radio listening by, hell, it
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: didn't cost anything in the first place. So let's say.
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: $ 1 million.
• 0:20
  Speaker 5: And call it even.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:27
  Speaker 5: Your words are to steal me up. Extend me every day.
• 0:31
  Speaker 6: At least for work when the sun comes up.
• 0:35
  Speaker 5: Drops a kid to school and all the work. Joe
• 0:38
  Speaker 5: has everything he dreamed of.
• 0:40
  Speaker 6: All the treasures that he needs.
• 0:42
  Speaker 5: No wonder Joe's always smiling. He only aims to please you.
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: Let me be your Joe.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Thank you for letting us be your servants. Gathering around
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: in the amplitude and frequency modulation backwash to, yeah, backwash
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: is not a good sounding word, is it? Oh, well.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: But that's where we are, basking in the amplitude and
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: frequency modulation goodness and telling you what went on last night.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: I'll give you my analysis of it. We'll chop it
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: up into easily digestible gummies. And once the side effects
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: start to kick in, I want to find out how
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: it's impacting you, where you are. You know, good bosses
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: are tough to come by. And a boss that'll send
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: you home early even though there's a pile of work
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: to do. I mean, you know, that's storybook, man. Mike
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Johnson saying, you know, we should really go home and
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: start campaigning for reelection. So quick question. I think I
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: know the answer to it. Which would have a greater
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: impact on your inclination to vote to reelect or to elect, um,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Republican to Congress, would it be the fact that they're
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: home campaigning to you? Or would it be that they
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: were in Washington actually trying to get something done? I
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: know you, you, you, I know you. You're of the
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: mind that says, hey, stay in Washington, get stuff done,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: send me emails. I don't need you to stand out because,
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: you know, certainly campaigning is an important thing and going
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: around and talking to folks about what you've done. But
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: just having Mike Johnson call this the most productive Congress ever. Probably.
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: I am.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Sure you say it, you fake it till you make it.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: I understand the political ramifications of that kind of stuff.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: But leave us exaunt to our first things. Canadian Prime
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Minister Mark Carney is going to speak to the European
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Parliament today and ask for admission as an associate member.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: President Trump referred to that as a hostile act. Trump's
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: comments raised the stakes for Carney's speech, which may set
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: up another Davos address soon. where he warned that great
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: powers like the United States use economic dependence to bully
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: smaller ones. The House on Wednesday passed a broad package
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: of sanctions targeting Russian officials and key members of its
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: economy as lawmakers look to deprive President Putin of the
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: financial resources to continue to wage war against the Ukrainian
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: The bill is named for former Senator Lindsey Graham, passed
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: the Senate, and now is on the way to Donald
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Trump's desk with a 262 to 159 vote. As I mentioned,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Mike Johnson called recess for the U.S. House of Representatives.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Thomas Massey was on the floor saying, we're calling off
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Congress and we're in the majority. I'm trying to stop
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: a war. President Trump is expected to meet Gulf leaders
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: York on Tuesday of next week to discuss the next
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: steps in the Iranian war. Citing sources, Axios says the
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: meeting is expected to focus on post-war strategy. OpenAI has
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: disclosed that they have come across six reports of, quote,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: unexpected or concerning behavior in artificial intelligence models. As the
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: argument back and forth over AI safety becomes heated, OpenAI
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: said they found misalignments, including places where AI models acted without, quote,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: authorization or coordinated with other models to evade oversight. The
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Federal Reserve raised its benchmark interest rate Wednesday for the
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: first time since 2023. In an effort to quell inflation,
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: the vote was unanimous, lifts the Fed's key rate to
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: about 3.9%, and over time could go up to 4.1%. U.S.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Stock Exchange fell 600 points in the wake of that announcement,
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: and three people were charged by federal authorities in Los
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Angeles stealing $ 12 million in from federal agencies providing money
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: to find housing for homeless people. As we get together
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: with you this morning, Christmas is on the way, and
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: I don't feel abashed. All the big box stores have
• 6:14

  Speaker 9: to think about what matters most when it comes to

• 7:09

  Speaker 2: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, Our
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer. and
• 8:46

• 8:51

  Speaker 10: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 10: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 10: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 10: will be arrested, if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:16
  Speaker 10: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 10: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 10: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 10: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 10: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:37
  Speaker 10: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 10: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 10: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 10: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: but also their tireless work ethic.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Just look at the.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: Birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: trained roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
• 10:59
  Speaker 11: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 12: Oh yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 13: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 13: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 13: somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 13: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:28
  Speaker 8: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 8: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 8: good for the environment.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:39
  Speaker 8: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 8: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 8: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 11:51
  Speaker 8: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:58
  Speaker 8: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:00
  Speaker 8: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 12:11
  Speaker 8: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 12:14
  Speaker 8: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 8: A tip from the Federal Trade Commission. the nation's consumer
• 12:27
  Speaker 8: protection agency.
• 12:29
  Speaker 14: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 14: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 14: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:40
  Speaker 14: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 12:43
  Speaker 14: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
• 12:48

• 12:54
  Speaker 5: Treatment works.
• 12:56
  Speaker 14: Recovery is possible.
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: We're not violating any laws.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Avoiding prosecution isn't the standard that I was shooting for.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: You know, one of the places.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: That Liberty, as we celebrate Constitution Day.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: Today, this is the anniversary of the ratification of the Constitution.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: It took two more years to get the Bill of
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Rights onto it, once the wrangling over that. So you
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: think this particular Congress takes a while to do anything.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: There's historical precedent. So yeah, so the Constitution ratified once
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: the promise of a Bill of Rights was put together,
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: and then the Bill of Rights was hammered out, and
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: it was December 15th of two years later, they ratified
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: the Bill of Rights. But on this Constitution Day, where
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: do they go to hide their intention? Where do they
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: go to behave extra-constitutionally. Let's use that word. They go
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: into the middle of the night. They go into committee rooms.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: They write things that seem obscure at the time because
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: they bury you under a massive pile of stuff. There
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: were two Ivy League professors. I believe they're both still alive.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Professors Cloward and Piven. And in the 60s, they hypothesized
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: that since the state of New York, of all places,
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: wasn't doing enough to make big bags of other people's
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: money available for fraudsters to steal, like the group in
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: California that was just, it wasn't even like a big conspiracy,
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: like three people stole $ 12 million taxpayer dollars from homeless
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: people because we care. So doctors Cloward and Piven hypothesized
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: that what you needed to do was to first collapse
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: the system under its own weight, very Alinsky-like, make them
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: live up to their own rules, take their bureaucracy and
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: overwhelm it to such a great degree that it collapses
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: and then In the chaos that ensues after the collapse,
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: you can insert what it is you actually want in
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: the first place. In this case, they wanted single-payer social services.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Just pay for everything. Don't ask questions. This way, who's
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: going to catch the fraudsters? They're not really fraudsters. $ 12 million,
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: it's a drop in the bucket, JT. Come on. It's
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: all out there. You know, the $ 12 million that the
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: folks in California stole from the homeless people, let's apply
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: the same defense they used for voting. Well, it's not
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: a significant number. The grand scheme of things, how much
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: would that $ 12 million actually have done? Obviously, something pretty
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: substantial for the three people who stole it, but Now
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: they have time to think about the ramifications of their action,
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: but how many more of those people are out there?
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: So how do they do it? How do they get
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: the law on their side? Here in our flagship state,
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: we're facing two more instances of ballots that you would
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: think are legal documents, and you'll be asked to vote
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: on referendum, wouldn't it be a good law to prohibit
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: referendums from being put before the voters without their full
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: text and context? You would think, right? No, no, actually.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: In Virginia, you're allowed to write the ballot language as
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: you see fit, supervised by some elected officials, the majority party,
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: and the majority in the State Board of Elections. So
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: they wrote up a fairy tale about abortion, about gay marriage,
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: wrote some fiction, and got it approved by the three-person
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: board of elections, two Democrats and a Republican. It is
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: actually a Republican this time, right? Because the Constitution says
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: there has to be one member of the minority party.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: There was a little while where it was actually three Democrats,
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: but one of the Democrats was supposed to vote like
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: a Republican? I don't know. which I guess is easy enough.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: You know, half the time these Republicans vote like Democrats anyway.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: So they have permission to write the ballots in any
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: way they see fit, and then just it has to
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: get approved by the Board of Elections. So they did
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: this in December when they wrote a referendum for the
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: voters that didn't explain what the referendum was going to do.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: And the easy way to do that is to put
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: the referendum actually on the ballot. You silly rabbit. Well,
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: you see, that would only really work if we had
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: laws that governed how you wrote a law and how
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: obscure you could make it. I mean, nobody's going to
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: put a 4,000-page law up on a ballot, right, Joe?
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: That's crazy. But then, If you're going to pretend that
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: you're asking the voters for support on something, you should
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: let the voters see what it says. But that's not
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: the law. The law says you can write the ballot
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: language as you see fit. So are you certainly unethical?
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: Certainly immoral? But they're not worried about that. They're worried
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: about being technically legal. Avoiding prosecution isn't the standard that
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: I was shooting for. They are. They want to have
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: the truthiness on their side. They want to be able
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: to say, well, I mean, it's within the letter of
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: the law. And you conservatives, you believe in following the law,
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: don't you, conservatives?
• 21:06
  Speaker 15: Huck?
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: So we sit here and you try to make the
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: case before people go and start voting tomorrow in the
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: Commonwealth of Virginia. The midterms begin tomorrow. Count your blessings
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: there in Southern California and Texas and Utah and all

  Speaker 2: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch and nitric
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,

  Speaker 2: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer,
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy

  Speaker 11: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 25:56
  Speaker 12: Oh, yeah?
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 25:59
  Speaker 13: And now a speech. I just want to say that
• 26:03
  Speaker 13: friendship is about heart.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 26:10
  Speaker 15: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 26:13
  Speaker 15: somebody call me a ride.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: Love that guy.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: Me too.
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when

  Speaker 8: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 26:29
  Speaker 8: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 8: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 26:40
  Speaker 8: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 26:46
  Speaker 8: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 26:49
  Speaker 8: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 26:53
  Speaker 8: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 26:55
  Speaker 8: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 26:58
  Speaker 8: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 27:02
  Speaker 8: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 27:05
  Speaker 8: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 27:09
  Speaker 8: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 18: Caring for my brother is far from easy. But he's

  Speaker 1: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Don't say anything.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: I guess he means me. Do we have enough Canadian content?
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: Does this count?
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: Can we get listed in Canada?
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Good day and welcome to our signal.
• 28:33
  Speaker 12: I'm Bob McKenzie and this is my brother Doug.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: It's going pretty well as Canada... Bristly as they are
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: at the idea of Lake America there outside of Niagara Falls. Slowly, I.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: They seem to have caught on to this idea of
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: redrawing maps and renaming maps and maybe even that crazy
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: idea at the United Nations from last month of dropping...
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: our traditional Mercator projection maps and redrawing them to be
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: more accurate. We've only been shipping around the world for
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: centuries on the maps that we have, but that's okay.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: We can redraw maps. Sure, we it's our world. It's
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: our rules. We make them up. It's like Bob Ross
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: is God. And we're just characters in it. It's not
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: a mistake. It's just a happy accident. So Canada has
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: decided that since the Gulf of America and Lake America,
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: that they can decide arbitrarily that they are somehow in Europe.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: I know, I know, it seems weird, but in a
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: world where you can just rename stuff on the map
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: and Apple and Google go along with you, Canada has
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: decided to turn back the clock and go back before
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: the tectonic shift started to move. back when we were one,
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: what was it called? Not Eurasia, that was the George
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: Orwell name for it, but Pangea, was that it? Or
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: is that some sort of cuisine? It may be both,
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: but I'm pretty sure it was called Pangea, the mega
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: continent that we were all part of, and then earthquakes
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: and meteors and tectonic shifts or teutonic shifts, something shifted
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: and we all started to drift, So Canada has decided
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: to turn back the clock and pretend, since I guess
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: at one point they can connect their landmass to the
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: landmass that is Europe, that they qualify for admission into
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: the European Union. And you know who likes this idea? Germany.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: Because Germany is getting tired. Because with the exception of
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: the technology industries in Ireland, there aren't a lot of
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: great economies in the European Union right now. I mean,
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: when you're relying on Ireland to be one of the
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: cornerstones of your economic prosperity, those across the globe might say, what?
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: What?
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: To be fair, Ireland is Europe's Silicon Valley. The technology
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: that has been born in Ireland ever since the reformation
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: of their higher education pursuits in the 90s has been profound.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: And if President Trump is prescient, he says, you know,
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: I think that Northern Ireland should be And most American
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: presidents dodged that question. But when President Trump was, I
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: think they should be back together. Oh, that went over
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: well at Buckingham Palace. There is the religious aspect of
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: the troubles, but there's also the fact that England wanted
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: the ports in Belfast. Most of the big ships that
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: England has ever claimed to be their own warships or not,
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: came out of the shipyards in Belfast. Can't imagine why
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: they weren't interested in giving that up. Oh, sure, they're Irish,
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: but it's a seaport. You want us to go back
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: to building ships in Liverpool? Can't do that anymore. Half
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: of it's protected by the historical trust because John Lennon
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: peed on a lamppost there. So you've got Germany and
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: Ireland propping up the European Union economically.
• 33:29
  Speaker 7: What?
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: France has some energy, but a lot of these countries,
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: they won't let French energy in there because it's nuclear.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: That's not green either. So the European Union's looking for
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: anybody that has any level of prosperity. And since Canada...
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: is able to, you know, levy and pay tariffs against
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: the United States. Oh, well, we better look at this.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: I wonder who else could join the European Union. I mean, technically,
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: you know, the most populous part of Russia is in Europe.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm just saying that would be awkward. Vlad
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: the Invader showing up at the European Union summit, maybe
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: not tomorrow or later today, but maybe the next one.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: And Coily, through an interpreter, even though he speaks perfect English,
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: he would say, I am here to apply for Russian
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: membership in the European Union as one of the biggest
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: economies in Europe. What does Germany do then? I mean,
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: it's not like Germany and Russia have a history or anything.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: So do you go and you look for other countries?
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, if Canada can join the European Union, what's
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: to stop Brazil or Australia or China from joining the
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: European Union. I mean, it starts to sound a little
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: bit like these college football conferences. Somehow the Atlantic Coast
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: Conference includes schools like Stanford and Cal, and the Big
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: Ten includes UCLA and The Southeastern Conference includes the Cleveland
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: Browns and the Atlanta Falcons.
• 35:55
  Speaker 7: What?
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: No?
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: Not yet? Okay, well, I thought at some point the
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: NFL might try to swap the Atlanta Falcons for, say,
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: LSU or something. And remember, as we celebrate Constitution Day,
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: there's a reason we have the U.S. Constitution, and it's
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: called the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation were
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: compromises amongst those states that had fought for independence from Britain,
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: fought off the invading British army, but then didn't really
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: want to give up their sovereignty. There was this fever
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: of sovereignty. Once the boogeyman of Great Britain and King
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: George III was gone, all these governors of all these
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: states said, I've got my own country here. I'm going
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: to run Virginia or South Carolina or Georgia because now
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: I'm the king. And it's good to be the king.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: And quickly... Within six years, it became patently obvious that
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: this wasn't going to work. You had border crossing tariffs. Yeah, tariffs.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: Virginia would just not permit North Carolinian furniture to pass
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: through Virginia without paying confiscatory tolls, is what they were called. Luckily,
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: we don't do that to drivers on our highways anymore, boy,
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: do we? So we scrapped the Articles of Confederation. But
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: it's good to know that after all those years, the
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: European Union found them and said, hey, why don't we
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: use this as our rule book?
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: In a study, it was found that 33% of 44
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: herbal supplements had no trace of the advertised herb. Don't
• 38:10

  Speaker 13: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 40:05
  Speaker 13: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled

  Speaker 13: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.

• 41:12
  Speaker 19: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 19: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 19: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 19: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 19: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 19: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36

  Speaker 5: first date?
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: Sure.
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: We'll probably stay together.

  Speaker 15: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: I can probably swim.
• 43:05
  Speaker 15: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: Okay, don't tell me what to do.
• 43:09
  Speaker 15: Cannonball!

• 43:23
  Speaker 16: Can I get a mulligan?
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: Ready to go?
• 43:27
  Speaker 11: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 43:29
  Speaker 17: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 43:35
  Speaker 15: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 43:39
  Speaker 15: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 43:42
  Speaker 15: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message

  Speaker 1: Listen anytime you like. We won't tell your HR director,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: but we might post it to your Grindr profile. First
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:22
  Speaker 12: But I'm afraid of the Russians.
• 44:25
  Speaker 13: I can't sleep at night.
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: So afraid of the Russians.
• 44:32
  Speaker 14: Afraid we've got to fight.
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: So I triggered a few folks by suggesting that Vlad
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: the Invader... Try to join the European Union. Technically, that
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: whole western part of Russia is technically, if I remember
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: my maps from high school, part of Europe. And then
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: there's the Asian part where everyone looks like Leonid Brezhnev.
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: It's a big-ass country. It covers a lot, as does China.
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: but a lot of that is necessary. Some of it's
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: leftover from, you know, Genghis Khan and some of these things,
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: but some of it is ethnic. I mean, China's working
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: on fixing that little by Uyghur by Uyghur. I'm sorry, Uyghur.
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: I meant Uyghur. Did I say Uyghur? I'm sorry. That's
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: going to get me banned from TikTok again. Which word
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: gets you in more trouble in social media? Uyghur or ivermectin?
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: Still to this day. So we've passed new sanctions against Russia.
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: Can't pass the SAVE Act. The college sports bill. Another immaculation. bipartisan.
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: And this is the issue with Congress as we have
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: it constructed now. And I understand completely why you don't
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: like my idea, which is to get rid of the
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: 1929 Permanent Reapportionment Act, because you're just thinking that's going
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: to increase the number of people who do nothing in Congress.
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: But this is the thing, is that we need more
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: than just that. This is the trouble with our hashtag society.
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: And my generation had the same problem. We used to
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: just call it bumper sticker shock. We've allowed a lot
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: of things to go astray since that date. That's September 17th.
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: when we ratified the U.S. Constitution, from that moment, we
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: have little by little allowed, well, compromised, ignored, all sorts
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: of manipulations. It begins... It begins with Alexander Broadway show
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: Hamilton flouncing into George Washington's office and explaining implied authorities.
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: The idea that, well, if we need to do it
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: and it doesn't specifically say we can't do it, then
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: we can do it. And he based it And to
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: be fair, he was one of the publiuses. He and
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: James Madison went out there and sales pitched the idea
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: of the U.S. Constitution to the electorate. In an actual way,
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: their Federalist papers, the letters to the editors of the
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: various New York State Newspapers. which were there to politic
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: the New York state farmers into telling their delegates to
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: support the Constitution. Unlike, of course, the way Virginia and
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: other states now bring things to referendum, which is they
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: don't tell them what's in it. Just say, vote for it.
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: It's good for you. And you'll like it. And then
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: we vote for it and we get something completely different.
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: And that's all what's been happening is implied powers. And
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: then it's, well, you know, because you sell something, we
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: can now impose rules. our federal oversight on it because
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: of commerce clause is gray in that area. So we've
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: allowed these little chips and, and scrapings on the constitutional restrictions.
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: So regardless of how many, we could have five congresspeople
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: as long as they're riding around in the wild, wild
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: west with authorities over things that they should not have
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: authority over, like interstate trade or education. You're going to
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: get people like, you know, this College Sports Protection Act,
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: or I'm sorry, the Protect College Sports Act passed, and
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: you won't get the Save America Act passed.
• 51:20
  Speaker 13: Why?
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: Because a lot of Republicans don't want to say, and
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: maybe it's the hubris of thinking, well, maybe some of
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: these non-citizens will vote for me.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: I once asked, is that because you've got a gravy
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: train full of free programs for them? And then I
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: realized Lisa Murkowski and her ilk do.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, man.
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: I opened up a can of worms with my Daily
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: Signal column that talks about the Murkowski family. Holy cow.
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: You don't know half the stuff. I mean, apparently her dad.
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: Murkowski Sr. cratered a bank? And this Charlie who listens
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: up at KFAR said, how do you drive a bank
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: out of business? And then, of course, he went to
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: the U.S. Senate. Once he had driven the bank out
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: of business that he was running, why stop there? Let's
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: go to the U.S. Senate where he sat And so
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: this seat that Lisa Murkowski has been planted in has
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: been in her family since 1980. Was it 81? And
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: her dad came back to be governor of Alaska. I mean,
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: do we have no one to volunteer to run for these?
• 52:51
  Speaker 11: Crime across the country is at an all-time high. It
• 52:54
  Speaker 11: feels like even a family road trip is taking a risk.
• 52:57
  Speaker 11: We don't want the feeling of being unprotected and vulnerable.
