  Speaker 1: I'm more mega now make America great again than I've
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: ever been. Making mornings great again. First thing today on
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Scared you, didn't I?
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Me too.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Bless you for joining us on this Ted's D morning
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: as we gather around the radio program that first and
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: foremost is unabashed about calling itself a radio program. 96%
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: of Americans listen to the radio. This always baffles me.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: We've evolved into a content, you know, all the words.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: All the words that mean something to somebody. I guess
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: there's money attached to some of them. They're not going
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: to give you venture capital unless you use words like
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: archiving is out and curating is in. So we don't
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: speak the speaky speak. We just talk. Words that have
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: been passed down through time in memoriam over a broadcast network.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: system that's approaching its 100th anniversary, why would we equivocate?
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: But what we do here with that time is we
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: tell you what went on in the world, and then
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I'll give you our analysis of it from here. But
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I also want to add to it your reactions to
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: it and how it's impacting you, because not everything in
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: the news impacts you. Do you particularly care who the
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: ambassador to Greece is unless you're running a souvlaki stand?
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: In which case, give me your phone number. I want
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: to see if you do DoorDash. Growing up in Queens,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: one of the things you miss is the souvlaki right
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: from a restaurant in Astoria. But I digress there.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: Down, down.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: And so then I want to hear how it's impacting
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: you where you are, because you are the single most
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: important local aspect of this radio station. And if anyone
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: tells you otherwise, they lie into you, gaslighting you, I say,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: gaslighting you for heaven's sake. So that's how it works.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: So let us begin with our first things much afoot
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: on this Ted Steve morning, a day when we celebrate
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: God's gifts to you, your zealous gifts. approach to providing
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: it to a grateful constituency who reward you justly, and
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: then you don't have to worry about what the haters
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: got to hate about. And it begins not as many
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: of the news stories do today in Greece. It begins
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: at the Department of Justice and Washington, D.C., where the
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: home of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar was raided. And now the
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Department of Justice has issued subpoenas to members of her family.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: The New York Times is even reporting now that the
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: congresswoman is accusing the Trump administration of political retribution. The
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: subpoenas mark a new development in a probe which some
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: say close to the investigation involves whether or not she
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: falsified immigration and naturalization records. Pope Leo underwent surgery Tuesday
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: for the lung cancer we reported to you last week.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Doctors removed the lower lobe of his right lung, according
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: to Vatican officials. Test confirmed a diagnosis of adenocarcinoma in
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: the lung, the Vatican said in a medical bulletin. No
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: statement on ongoing treatment going forward. That's redundant, by the way.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Newly revealed text messages between Cornell University students, including the
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: one who has alleged sexual assault at a fraternity house, Orgy,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: CBS News, in receipt of the text. Some of them
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: say things like, I don't think we should feel, the
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: woman writes, any shame for the part of our body,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: our choice, ASF. And the next day, one of the
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: men involved and Jane Doe, compared conversation about whether or
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: not rumors of the event were circulating on campus, and
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: she wrote, it'll be funny in a couple of months. U.S.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle acknowledged Tuesday that her tenure
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: is coming to an end, but did not use the
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: resignation word. These allegations are false, and I intend to
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity, she
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: wrote on X. Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to hear arguments
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: in a watchdog lawsuit seeking public records about billionaire Elon
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Musk's Department of Government Efficiency. The high court intervened for
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: a second time in Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Washington's case, which seeks access to Doge's records from its
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: operations in the early days of the second term. Saudi National,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: employed by OpenAI, was arrested after a recording device in
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: an executive conference room was found in his San Francisco office.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Abdulrahman Alfosan, 35, had worked as an engineer at OpenAI
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: since July of last year. And unusually warm weather has
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: prompted the Department of Energy to issue an emergency energy
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: order for states covered by PGM Interconnective. That includes... Virginia, Delaware, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee, as well
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: as West Virginia.

  Speaker 8: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 8: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 8: I'm Dr.
• 8:13
  Speaker 9: Mitch.
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 8:20
  Speaker 8: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 8:24
  Speaker 8: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
• 8:47
  Speaker 8: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 8:52
  Speaker 8: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
• 8:57
  Speaker 8: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 10: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 11: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 10:01
  Speaker 11: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 11: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 11: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:08
  Speaker 11: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 11: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
• 10:15
  Speaker 11: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
• 10:17
  Speaker 11: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
• 10:21
  Speaker 11: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 10:23
  Speaker 11: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
• 10:26
  Speaker 11: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
• 10:30
  Speaker 11: but because of their acute senses, they also perform lifesaving
• 10:33
  Speaker 11: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
• 10:36
  Speaker 11: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
• 10:39
  Speaker 11: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
• 10:42
  Speaker 11: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
• 10:44
  Speaker 11: trained roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
• 10:47
  Speaker 11: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 10:50
  Speaker 11: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 10:53
  Speaker 11: planet we inhabit together. Go to americanhumane.org to learn more.
• 10:59
  Speaker 12: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 13: And now a speech. I just want to say that
• 11:08
  Speaker 13: friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 11: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 12: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 13: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 10: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:23
  Speaker 10: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:28
  Speaker 14: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 14: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 14: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:39
  Speaker 14: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 14: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 14: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 11:51
  Speaker 14: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 11:54
  Speaker 14: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:58
  Speaker 14: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:00
  Speaker 14: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 12:04
  Speaker 14: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:07
  Speaker 14: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 12:11
  Speaker 14: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 12:14
  Speaker 14: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
• 12:18
  Speaker 14: money by reducing your energy waste, check out ftc.gov slash green.
• 12:24
  Speaker 14: A tip from the Federal Trade Commission. the nation's consumer
• 12:27
  Speaker 14: protection agency.
• 12:29
  Speaker 15: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 15: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 15: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:40
  Speaker 15: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 12:43
  Speaker 15: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
• 12:48
  Speaker 15: at maketheconnection.net and learn how you can support the veterans
• 12:53
  Speaker 15: in your life. Treatment works. Recovery is possible.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Thank you for letting us break it all down into
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: easily digestible gummies for us this morning. And the Supreme
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Court ruling on the records of Doge, I find to
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: be another one of these where opinions are divided. And
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: it falls to me, anyway, under the banner of Hashtag ideology.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: We used to call it bumper sticker ideology. Or governing
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: by chromium pulpit. That which would fit on a bumper
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: sticker implication. So it's easy to say, and I ran
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: into this once regarding voting. So there was a convention
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: going on, a political convention, as you can imagine, and
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: votes were being cast, and the rank and file wanted
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: the chair of the convention to make sure that the
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: attendees knew what the party chairs were voting on, because
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: before the convention started, decided anything, then the party chairs
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: had to vote on certain things. And the party chair
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: people were insisting that they be protected under the all-American
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: secret ballot protections. And this was a room ostensibly full
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: of conservatives, Republicans, I guess you decide, And the debate raged,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: and people were in my face saying, Joe, and we
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: were broadcasting from us, Joe, how could you be for
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: secret ballots, against secret ballots? Secret ballots are the American way.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: I said, not for representatives of a group. I said,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: you're asking people who have been elected to represent the
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: voice of a group. whether they be a member of Congress.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: And that was the argument I made. I said, so
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: would you be okay if the U.S. Senate, rather than
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: recording all of their votes and even publishing them online,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: broadcasting them on C-SPAN, would you be okay if the U.S.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Senate just said, oh, no, secret ballot is important, so
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: we're not telling you which ones of us voted for
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: or against some legislation? And they stopped and looked at
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: me and said, well, no, that would be wrong. We
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: need to know what our representatives do with the votes
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: that we give them. I said, exactly, exactly the point.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: These party chairs that were voting on some of the
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: administrative stuff and the organizational things that were going to
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: lead towards the nomination of a candidate wanted to vote
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: secretly so that they're their constituents had no idea how
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: their votes were cast. And I said, that's not how
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: it works. You and me, when we vote in an
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: election writ large, yeah, we vote publicly in secret or
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: secretly in public, however you feel more comfortable saying it.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: including how we elect the party chairs, unless you decide
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: to just hold a voice vote. All in favor, say aye.
• 17:10
  Speaker 9: Aye.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: So we hook ourselves into these ideas of transparency and
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: that kind of thing. So with this advocacy group, wanted
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: to see was the process that the Doge Boys, as
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: it were, and this is all about big balls and
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: all of that, and how they were deciding what things
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: were going to be cut, and it's circling the wagons.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: along with circling the drain, that these folks want to
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: find some parliamentary procedure that they could hook onto and
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: under some technicality of human resources policy, they'd be able
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: to overturn all of Doge and re-engorge the entirety of
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: the government like taking a tourniquet off of some wound.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Let the sucking chest wounds start sucking again. So the
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: High Court last year reigned in the district court's order
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: for the government to produce Doge-related records to the Citizens
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. They ruled that the U.S.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: district judge had ruled too broadly in ordering the documents
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: to be turned over to the group. Trump administration argues
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: that Doge is exempt from FOIA as a presidential advisory body. Now,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: do you agree with that? Like I said, transparency is transparency.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: And this has become an argument with a lot of
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: the folks that I know. How far does the transparency go?
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: So what is covered under transparency is Doge's report to
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: the president. What Crew wants is all the stuff that
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Doge went through in preparation of that report. The Justice
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Department attorneys wrote, subjecting advisory bodies to intrusive discovery triggers
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: the very concerns that Congress sought to avoid by excluding
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: presidential advisory bodies from FOIA reach. The point the administration
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: is pointing out there is this was determined by Congress
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: to be something that was beyond. And by the way,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: it was, if I'm remembering my procedures right, something that
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: was created during the Clinton administration Now, that may have
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: been a Republican Congress, Newt Gingrich et al., but at
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: some point, Congress gathered, believe it or not, and passed
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: legislation saying this is how far FOIA goes within the
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: advisory process. And part of what these guys at CREW
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: want to do is grind anything to a halt. So,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: For example, one of my favorite cases, the case of
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Lisa Jackson, EPA administrator. FOIA does not allow you to
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: find out what Greenpeace used to determine what they told
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: her to enact this policy, but FOIA does let us know,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: does enforce the policy transparency of her telling us that
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Greenpeace wrote the legislation. The famous abortion legislation that we're
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: now staring down the barrel of here in Virginia, where
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Delegate Kathy Tran couldn't remember what was in the bill
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: because obviously she didn't write it. But at some point,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: somebody from Planned Parenthood emailed it to her or mailed
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: it to her. That part....
• 22:02
  Speaker 8: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch and nitric
• 22:12
  Speaker 8: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 22:17
  Speaker 8: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 22:21
  Speaker 8: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 22:34
  Speaker 8: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 22:38

  Speaker 8: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 8: I'm Dr.
• 24:13
  Speaker 9: Mitch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 8: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:19
  Speaker 8: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 24:39
  Speaker 8: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances,
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells, even

• 25:56
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah?
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 25:59
  Speaker 12: And now a speech.
• 26:02
  Speaker 13: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 26:08
  Speaker 15: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: somebody call me a ride.
• 26:15
  Speaker 12: Love that guy.
• 26:16
  Speaker 17: Me too.

• 26:19
  Speaker 10: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 26:23
  Speaker 14: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 26:25
  Speaker 14: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 26:29
  Speaker 14: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 14: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:36
  Speaker 14: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 26:40
  Speaker 14: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 26:46
  Speaker 14: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 26:49
  Speaker 14: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 26:53
  Speaker 14: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 26:55
  Speaker 14: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 26:58
  Speaker 14: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 27:02
  Speaker 14: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 27:05
  Speaker 14: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 27:09
  Speaker 14: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: Searching for a friend to share my time Looking for
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: a mountain I can climb Ain't afraid of death.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Or no good do Do the best that I can
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: do With the spirit of the wild.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Running free I got the spirit of the wild inside
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: of me.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: One of the things that makes the world so easily
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: manipulatable is the predictable nature of people who do what
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: I do. And a couple of examples of it. Most
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: of it falls under the category of if you publish it,
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: it becomes real. And if we leak something to you
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: and you publish it, now we have made that the
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: reality rather than what may actually be the reality. And
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: really something that if you look at the arc of
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Trump 1 and Trump 2, or basically the entirety of
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump's time in the presidential sphere, it has been
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: a battle over what really happened versus what we told
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: you happened. And it's an elevation of what we used
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: to call yellow journalism. Yellow journalism meaning, well, I mean,
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: some people believe it means it's paid for by the CHICOMs.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: But that may be racist.
• 29:58
  Speaker 9: I don't know.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: But it comes from the tainted newspapers. So, like, if
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: you spill something, it gets yellowed. It's tainted news. It's
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: tainted with opinion. I don't like Donald Trump, so I'm
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: going to write this story to make him look bad.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: I don't like Kimberly Guilfoyle because Kimberly Guilfoyle is associated
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: with Donald Trump. I'll bet you a damn... dozen donuts
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: right now that if Kimberly Guilfoyle tomorrow called ABC News
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: said get me George Snuffleupagus I want to come on
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: the Good Morning America program and tell him and the
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: football player all about how bad Donald Trump is Like that,
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Kimberly Guilfoyle becomes a heroine, standing up to the misogynist-in-chief.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: That'll be the story. All Kimberly Guilfoyle has to do
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: to launder her reputation is say, I've got information, I've
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: got background, I'm going to turn on President Trump. All
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: she has to do is take the Michael Cohen defense, which,
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: by the way, Michael Cohen was playing you all along
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: because he knew that if he said, I'm going to
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: drop dime on the president, everyone would run to him,
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: and then he could say things that actually screwed up
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: the legal cases against the president. How did I know
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: this was happening? Because Michael Cohen's job was fixer. He
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: was Harvey Keitel in any number of Quentin Tarantino movies.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: You do what's necessary to get your client out of trouble. Period.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: And that's what Michael Cohen did. Proved by the fact
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: that once he gets his own radio show, there's President
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Trump sitting down. Hey, Mike, good job, boy. This isn't
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: so hard to figure out, guys. And one of the
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: narratives that's been around since 2016 in its own self
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: is Russian disinformation. The whole idea that we are so stupid.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: We are so stupid that we just gobble up whatever
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: social media tells us. We watched it. In Donald Trump's election,
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: we watched it in the riots of 2017, flashpointed and
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: most notoriously in our flagship city of Charlottesville. Our old
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: friend Tom Drops Bombs was in the meetings, was in
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: the Intel reports where they were told that bot farm
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: management in St. Petersburg, Russia was issuing And what they
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: do is how they do it is they set up three,
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: four dozen social media accounts, and they have all the
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: computers that are there. They set up four, five, six
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: hundred social media accounts, and they all either follow one another.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: So if you see a post that says, yeah, I
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: think Donald Trump actually has no testicles. And 700 people
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: have liked it. They think the implication to somebody like
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: you and me is, well, it must be true. 700
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: people reshared this and nobody stopped it because there's nobody
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: who could have stopped it. The idea that we're living
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: in a world, and this is one of the things
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: that makes the protections of social media so dangerous to me,
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: is that most of us grew up in a world
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: where if a radio broadcast or a TV broadcast or
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: a newspaper publication said something egregiously false, we would be
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: in enormous trouble and we would be sued and all
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: the other news outlets would cover our ignominy. And that's
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: how it was managed. But then social media comes along, oh,
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: we're just aggregators, so protect us. the 602 protections, whatever
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: it is, but all the hall pass that social media
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: is given for just being an aggregator of everyone else's
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: crazy ass postings, which then they sell advertising on, which
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: to me implies a certain amount of complicity. So now
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: we have the prime minister of Great Britain, its own self,
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: And don't worry, he won't be prime minister in three
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: months anyway, the way they're going through these people. Out
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: there saying, well, I've got a report here that says
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Russian disinformation was used in the Brexit campaign. And of course,
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: the Nigel Farage is out on TV, you know, probably
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: happy to not have to answer questions about allegations that
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: he's been taking money off the top. There's absolutely no
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: way that Brexit... And the argument is the same. Russia
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: gets in there and posts what appear to be popular
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: statements about Brexit and against Brexit, because you know what
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Russia wants? Chaos. Russia wants these Western countries to not
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: trust one another, not listen to one another, silo themselves off,
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: because that's what the globalists, that's what the world market
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: folks Want. I mean, I was even talking about it
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: with Bob in Moscow.
• 36:28
  Speaker 9: Until he's no more use to Azov, no more use
• 36:33
  Speaker 9: to Soros, no more use to the so-called deep state
• 36:37
  Speaker 9: or the powers to be.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Talking about Vladimir Zelensky and his role in all this.
• 36:47
  Speaker 9: That's when he's got to worry. Right now, no one's
• 36:49
  Speaker 9: going to do anything because he's still doing the job
• 36:54
  Speaker 9: these other to be leaders want him to do.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: I still think, you know, I agree. And it was funny.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: I was watching Nigel Farage talk about this report on
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Brexit and all Russian disinformation. And I love that. We
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: haven't even talked about this story about that. the prime
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: minister of England saying, oh, I've found documents that say
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Russia meddled with the Brexit vote. When it turns out
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: what he's saying is Russia may have run bots just
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: like they did in 2016 here in the United States,
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: you know, creating havoc, creating chaos with their attempts. And
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: every time one of these politicians says something like this,
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: It's what I hear is you're an idiot and you'll
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: fall for anything that somebody puts on your Facebook account.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: And we're not that dumb, but they all think we are, Bob.
• 37:52
  Speaker 9: Yeah, but also we can't trust England anymore because England
• 37:57
  Speaker 9: is under the control of the Muslims.
• 38:01
  Speaker 17: At Hot Shot Secret, we share the science behind common
• 38:04
  Speaker 17: diesel problems and their solutions.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: For example, diesel fuel cetane levels.
• 38:08
  Speaker 17: In many states, the cetane rating in diesel fuel is
• 38:11
  Speaker 17: 42 to 45. Most diesel engines operate more efficiently with
• 38:15
  Speaker 17: a cetane rating of 48 to 50. One treatment of
• 38:18
  Speaker 17: Hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your cetane seven points,
• 38:21
  Speaker 17: increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts. Due to a
• 38:25
  Speaker 17: cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons and particulate matter in
• 38:28
  Speaker 17: your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of your diesel particulate filter.
• 38:32
  Speaker 17: Using Diesel Extreme generates 83% less DPF regenerations. The 6-in-1
• 38:38
  Speaker 17: Diesel Extreme formula also includes the most concentrated detergent on
• 38:42
  Speaker 17: the market, lubricity enhancer, water demulsifier, rust and corrosion inhibitors,
• 38:47
  Speaker 17: and a fuel stabilizer.

  Speaker 9: Yes!

  Speaker 13: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is goodwill.

• 40:57
  Speaker 20: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 20: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 20: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 20: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 20: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 20: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 20: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 20: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 20: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 20: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.

  Speaker 2: No word in the English language is less convincing than probably.
• 42:52
  Speaker 18: Are you sure we should get matching tattoos.
• 42:54
  Speaker 9: On our first date?
• 42:56
  Speaker 16: Sure.
• 42:57
  Speaker 10: We'll probably stay together.
• 42:58
  Speaker 12: Probably?
• 42:59
  Speaker 19: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: I can probably swim. Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: Okay, don't tell me what to do. Cannonball!
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: Cramp!
• 43:12
  Speaker 5: I have a cramp.
• 43:16
  Speaker 6: I can probably hit the green from here.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: Probably.
• 43:21
  Speaker 6: Can I get a mulligan? Ready to go?
• 43:27
  Speaker 12: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 43:29
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm probably okay. Probably okay isn't okay, especially when
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: it comes to drinking and driving. If you're drinking, call
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: a cab, a car, or a friend. Buzzed driving is
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: drunk driving. A message brought to you by NHTSA and
• 43:46

  Speaker 1: News and analysis now without artificial colors. First thing today
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: by Joe Thomas on the talk media network. Apologies for that.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: We, you know, I was playing back a clip. We
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: were talking with Bob yesterday about, you know, and he
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: had mentioned that the Islamists want Russia to fail. And
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: I thought we had time to get his point on why.
• 44:44
  Speaker 9: See, they want Russia to fall because, you know, the
• 44:48
  Speaker 9: government to fall, the country to fall, because they can
• 44:50
  Speaker 9: split it up, Kazan, which is strictly Muslim. Also, Turkey
• 44:54
  Speaker 9: will come in from way back during the Ottoman Empire,
• 44:58
  Speaker 9: and they'll recapture a lot of the territory they want
• 45:00
  Speaker 9: because Turkey right now, its economy is so bad, they
• 45:04
  Speaker 9: need Ukraine. They need to go in and control Ukraine.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: So it's about, again, bringing down and creating little theocracies
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: in these places under Sharia, under dictatorial authoritarianism, which is
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: really what Sharia is. And it's amazing watching the LGBTQ
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: for Hamas and these people who don't understand that all
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: the permissiveness that the American people Society allows them to
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: behave in the way they do. Ain't going to happen
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: when they bring about the caliphate. You almost feel bad
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: for folks who feel this way. Email here, Joe, story
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: from the headlines. Don't know if you saw it, but
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: you're claiming that the Americans are smarter than you give
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: them credit for. What about this whole character.ai case? where
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: kids were being told by this AI chatbot to kill themselves.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: I do know the story, and we did cover the
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: story when it first came about. The funny part of
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: this is Walt Disney is buying the company. So apparently
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: all you have to do to get Walt Disney to
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: give you, what is it, $ 20 million, is steal pictures
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: of Grumpy and Doc from the Seven Dwarves and a
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: couple of princesses. and animate them into your AI, and
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: eventually Disney will just buy you. I think it's an
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: interesting way. It's like the mouse that roared, or maybe
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: the opposite of the mouse that roared. Hey, Disney, we
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: stole all your stuff. Give us money.
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: It's like Neville Chamberlain has taken over the Disney Corporation. But, yeah,
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: so there's chat. But, you see, here's the thing about
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: these chatbots. is that people would get into these AI
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: rooms and start asking questions. The sad part is that
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: they felt more comfortable asking a chat window on their
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: computer questions about pain and suffering they were feeling rather
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: than the adults in their lives. That's the bigger problem.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: That's what we got to fix. That's a societal checkup
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: from the neck up we've got to have. But these
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: kids felt more comfortable asking a chat bot who all
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: AI does is take what you give it and kind
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: of repackage it. If you've ever met somebody who never
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: gives you real advice, they just keep reframing whatever your
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: question is. That's all AI does. And, you know, it's
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: not taken us that long to figure that out. But
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: what these kids wound up getting was, I'm depressed. Well,
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, you could always kill yourself. And some of
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: them did. And it's horrific, but that's what AI does.
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: That's why people are like, well, we need guardrails on this.
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: We need disclosure on what is a bot and where
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: is the bot coming from and where is it getting its...
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: Because apparently some of it came across like it was
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: medical because they were pulling from medical texts. Remember, AI
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: is a research window, is a research firm. So they
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: go out and they say, well, Dr. Smith from the
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: Jupiter 2 says that you should... Probably, you know, get
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: out of his face, you pusillanimous pile of junk or
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: some such advice that would be pulled from some archive somewhere.
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: And kids were reacting badly to it. But again, it
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: goes back to the siloing off. Anyone, young person, old person,
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: if we're relying on some dispassionate machine sitting on our desk, again,
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to blame inanimate objects for this stuff.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: We go on and say, should I kill myself? And
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: it says, you know, it's like asking the magic eight ball.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: That's what you're getting. It's just a big version of
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: the magic eight ball. Maybe that's what we should do
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: is make all AI appear on your computer screen like
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: the magic eight ball shakes up a little bit and
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: a little triangle comes up. That could be so.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: Good morning.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: You're on the air with Joe. First thing this morning.
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: Who's this? Hi, Joe.
• 49:27
  Speaker 13: It's Clark.
• 49:28
  Speaker 16: And, you know, the tragedy with your stuff just now.
• 49:34
  Speaker 16: is we're not very far from Dr. Smith and the
• 49:37
  Speaker 16: Jupiter II and the Magic 8-Ball being references that very
• 49:41
  Speaker 16: few of us get.
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. I've got to be careful. Mindset list here.
• 49:48
  Speaker 16: Now, a couple of quick things. On Doge and their
• 49:53
  Speaker 16: methods being released, you know, Joe, you ever watch these
• 49:57
  Speaker 16: crime shows on TV where they show you how they
• 50:00
  Speaker 16: did the investigation? Yeah. and what evidence they found, how
• 50:06
  Speaker 16: they solved these crimes.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: Why do they show that?
• 50:09
  Speaker 16: Why does law enforcement allow that to be showed? Because
• 50:12
  Speaker 16: I'm thinking, if I'm a criminal, these shows are tutorials
• 50:17
  Speaker 16: for me. Oh, I can't leave fingerprints there. They'll find them. Oh,
• 50:23
  Speaker 16: they can analyze the blood splatter.
• 50:26
  Speaker 9: Hmm.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: Better not.
• 50:29
  Speaker 16: Leave anything that they could use for DNA. Oh, they
• 50:32
  Speaker 16: got flock cameras everywhere. I'll have to do something about that.
• 50:36
  Speaker 16: They don't need to release the Doge stuff because, hey,
• 50:39
  Speaker 16: there was a lot of bad behavior that was caught that,
• 50:42
  Speaker 16: you know, we might want to catch that again. And
• 50:45
  Speaker 16: you release that information and the bad actors know what
• 50:49
  Speaker 16: not to do or what tracks to cover.
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: Now, I may be cynical, Dr. Clark, and I've watched
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: a lot of those programs, but I have not, even
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: back in my ute, ever fell prey to the idea
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: that what you were watching as Ephraim Zimbalist Jr. or
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: Joe Friday solved a crime. If I was ever, for
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: a minute, Lenny Briscoe, I'm not seeing anything, Jethro Gibbs Jr.,
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: None of what I'm seeing or only parts of what
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: I'm seeing is what actually goes on. I know for
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: a damn fact that anything that's made it to entertainment
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: television is only just a smidgen of what can be
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: used to investigate a crime.
• 51:37
  Speaker 16: Oh, yeah.
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: So, you know, you talk about tutorials. If anything, they're saying, yeah,
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: do these things and we'll catch you even faster, criminal.
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: But that being said, the single greatest law enforcement tool
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: in American law enforcement anyway has been and always probably
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: will be the collective dumbness of the American criminal class.
• 52:05
  Speaker 16: Well, yes. Now. You said Cornell 7. It's Cornell 8.
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: I don't think I said Cornell 7. No, I want
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: to push back here. I feel like Kimberly Guilfoyle here,
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: only with smaller lips. And I guess other things. I
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: don't think I've ever been mistaken for Kimberly Guilfoyle, but
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: I must defend my honor here for a moment. I,
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: in my reportage 45 minutes, 50 minutes ago, did not
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: say the Cornell 7. Maybe a newscaster from one of
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: the networks said the Cornell 7. And yes, sure, guilty
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: as charged. I may be prickly and thin-skinned, but, you know, that.
• 52:51
  Speaker 12: Crime across the country is at an all-time high. It
• 52:54
  Speaker 12: feels like even a family road trip is taking a risk.
• 52:57
  Speaker 12: We don't want the feeling of being unprotected and vulnerable.
