  Speaker 5: US Senate Republicans rejected a bill to halt the war
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: against Iran if such the military actions anyway. Fifty three
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: to forty seven was the vote in the Senate. There
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: is a companion bill, a twin, that's going to be
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: voted on in the House today. Speaking of the House Speaker,
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: Mike Johnson said, you should pay attention to how your
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: congress people vote when a bill to reopen the Department
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: of Homeland Security comes up for a vote today. Quote
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: you better watch that board, and everyone in America better
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: watch that board. Anyone who votes to block funding for
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: Homeland Security is shameful, he said. Iranian State Television has
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: shared a message from a young cleric, one of the
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: Ayatola Committee, and he is calling for the shedding of
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: blood from Israelis and from US President Donald Trump. Javadi
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: Amoli is the Ayatola who said that made this call
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: for violence against the US President. Meanwhile, Cutter's Defense Ministry
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: reports a missile attack late this morning as sounds of
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: explosion echo across Doha. France Foreign Minister has spoken with
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: his Iranian counterpart and condemned Iran strikes against other countries
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: around them after the US and Israeli led bombardment of Tehran.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: China says it is sending a special envoy Jai Jun
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: to the Middle East an unnamed portion of the Middle
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: East to quote de escalate tensions and they will be
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: conducting quote intensive mediaation efforts. Meanwhile, Iran has launched a
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: new wave of attacks at Israel and American Israelian American
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: bases and threatened that the United States will bitterly regret
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: the attacks on Tehran. However, there are again reports of
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: big celebrations in parts of the country that the police
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: normally would have put down but are not. Mark Root
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: Secretary General of NATO said yesterday that there's widespread support
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: in the European military organization. However, he reiterated NATO is
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: not involved, and President Trump, in the midst of it all,
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: held a meeting with technology companies and said that he
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: wants to help them change the pr narrative that data
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: center existence drives up people's electric bills. Those are our
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: first things.
• 7:01
  Speaker 8: For veterans concerned about their alcohol or drug use, seeking
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: help can be the first step toward recovery. Doctor Joseph Liberto,

  Speaker 10: Considered by most Optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
• 8:13
  Speaker 10: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 10: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 10: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 10: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:32
  Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:37
  Speaker 10: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 10: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 10: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51

  Speaker 7: Hiryboddy, I'm Jack. It's always a boy. Growing up on
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: I'm not only in awe.
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: Of their beauty and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic.
• 10:08

• 10:11
  Speaker 7: or Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: they also perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: whom suffer from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: when there's a change.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: In their blood chemistry.
• 10:43

• 13:18
  Speaker 2: thing today by Joe Thomas on the Tunk Media Network.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Ain't you though, You gotta be? You Gotta be?
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: Four three four eight A two four two one seven.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: Yesterday I was invited to speak to a group conservative
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: group and a political one, and uh, what to share
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: Just an observation about frustration and why this falls under
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: the heading of why they do it JT because it works.
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: So when Eric Holder starts throwing around millions and millions
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: of dollars from lord knows where because his political action
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: committee is what the left likes to call dark money. Oh,
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, my mistake. I'm sorry. It's only dark money
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: when Republicans do it. Yeah. So Eric Holder comes in
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: and throws millions of dollars around and causes redistricting. Whooped
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: he do? And I was talking about this with our
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: friends in Provo, and we've got some great affiliates in
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: Provo in Salt Lake City, and I appreciate it that
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: one of the great guys he's been puzzling. I hasn't
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: always been all you know, all that in the bag
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: of tips every single time, but he has it seems
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: to have been fairly independent in his voice. The redistrict
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: thing has driven one of my favorites. I actually met
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: him at Seapack for the first time and mac McDonald
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: is a huge Burgess Owens fan. Of course mac mac
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: is a long suffering ear fan. But Burgess Owens, I remember,
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: do we still have the pictures? We should put it
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: up on the podcast when the podcast goes live. Burgess
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: Owens sat down with us before he had even announced
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: that he was running for Congress, and we're like absolute
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: and he was great. You get some of these guys
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: there celebrities for other reasons than political thought, and there's
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: bumpy clunky trying to get their head around political talk
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: because political talk involves lawyers, and lawyers love to go
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: after you for stuff. Oh well, you said is instead
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: of the I mean, it's technically how you wind up
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: with people like Bill Clinton. But I digress. Burgess Owens
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: issued a statement yesterday he's not going to seek reelection
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: because of the Democrats redistricting in Ohio, Ohio, in Utah,
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: you know, eliminating one of the Republican seats there. This
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: according he gave a statement to Deseret News, I will
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: complete my term, fully committed to my work in Washington,
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: d C. And then step away from elected office. The
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: judge had just finalized Utah's congressional map, forcing four Republican
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: incumbents into battle for three remaining districts, and we're watching,
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: Eric Holder. This is all Eric Holder is doing. This
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: is wherever Eric Holder, former Attorney General of the United States. Yes,
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: that Eric Holder. You know when when they go low,
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: we kick them. Eric Holder spending millions of dollars to
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: get these states to throw off off their constitutions, their
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: rule of law, all under the under the banner of
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: getting Donald Trump here in Virginia. I was having a
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: meeting about that, and that's where I wound up facing
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: this consternation that is driven by the tv ADS, from
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: the leftists. The tv ads and the law, the law
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: that's written in such a way that how does a
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: law regarding election districts include the word fairness in it?
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: Because leftists won fourteen seats and understand the long game
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: that guys like George Sorows play and the people he
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: gives money to two years ago, they said, we want
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: to do this. In order to do this, we're going
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: to need to win a majority of the House. So
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: we will pay, you know, relatively inexpensive amounts of money,
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: yet still more than the Republicans will have, and we'll
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: flip a couple of House seats, will take majorities, and
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: then we'll ramrod this stuff on home. And they did.
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: That's exactly what they did. And to them, you know,
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: if they spent a million dollars on a state house
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: race in Virginia or Utah, that's chicken scratched to them.
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: And then Eric Holders group spends five million dollars worth
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: of advertising during the Olympics on I face a room
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: full of people who are just spitting fire over it.
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: Where are the Republicans? How come the Republicans haven't done something?
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: Where's Donald Trump? Why hasn't Donald Trump done something? And
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: I'm I'm saying, listen, you know, they don't have the
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: they don't have five million dollars laying around just to
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: buy TV commercials in Washington, DC and Norfolk, Virginia.
• 19:06
  Speaker 14: Why not? Why don't they?
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: Because it doesn't George Soros is trying to turn us
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: to a European style oligarchy and he needs And this
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: is where Barack Obama and Valerie Jarrett and Susan Rice
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: and all the folks who got into power in two
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: thousand and eight by catfishing Democrats. See Barack Obama's first
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: catfish expedition was he catfished the Democrats into thinking he
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: was just like the old school Democrats. Then when he
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: and Michelle got into the White House, now let's show
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: him some Marxism. And if you questioned their Marxist intense,
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: you were a racist. And so begins the saga. And
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: they were angry, I mean literally angry, throwing napkins and
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: utensils down on their table as they were trying to
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: expressing deep seated frustration with Republicans box on their house
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: because they weren't ready for it. You know, one of
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: them said to me, fine, let the Democrats do what
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: they want if Republicans won't stand up to them. Republicans
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: are the Republicans have sixteen different lawsuits trying to stop
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: these violations of the Constitution. You know what the response was, lawsuits.
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: If they're breaking the law, you've got to drag them
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: into court to hold their feet of accountable to their
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: breaking of the law. It's not our fault that these
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: clowns and gowns would rather wait until after the votes
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: are cast before they want to make a ruling. And
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: I said it, and my politically involved friends don't call
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: them that. We're trying to get them to see right.
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry they're not seeing right. They're deciding, you know what,
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: we'll split the baby because that worked in the Bible.
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: We'll say we won't rule until we see how the
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: voters voted. At best Tepe, at least they didn't dismiss
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: the cases out of hat But we have to have
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: to have to stick together because the five million dollars,
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: the deceptive ad campaigns, the NonStop media coverage of fairness,
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: all of this is designed to make Republicans, conservatives especially go, oh,
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: just give it to them. You know, I'll go hide
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: my guns in my basement because they're coming for all
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: that too, because they, unlike Republicans, seem willing, if not able,
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: to walk into gum politically.

  Speaker 5: saying to Craig Rucker from Sea Fact, and I'm not
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: just egregiously name dropping. Craig Rooker is actually on the
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: phone with us from Sea Fact. I wasn't just trying
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: to make myself look cool, but I said, I feel
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: like a goalie playing against the old Russian national team
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: during the Olympics. Puck's coming from everywhere and you're just
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: trying to not let one through the five hole. Uh there,
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: And you all can chuckle if you're not hockey fans.

  Speaker 5: What five hole means Craig, welcome back to the program.
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: See fact, that's the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow. How
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: are you doing this morning.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Sir, oh, I'm doing absolutely fantastic. Thanks for having me
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: on you.
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: Not at all. So tell me explain this to me.
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: Riddle me this, batman. How is it that Governor Shapiro,
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: last time I checked, a Democrat can pull Pennsylvania one
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: of the cornerstone, one of the keystone, he says with
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: tongue in chu states can consiglierre to the regional greenhouse
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: Gas initiative, he can pull out of it, and Virginia
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: can jump back into it. Where is the common sense
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: to this? What does Josh Shapiro know that nobody has
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: told Abigail Spanberger yet?
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's a regional greenhouse gas initiatives. There's
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: a number of states, particularly in the Northeast, that belonged
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: to this initiative. It's all driven by climate kind of
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: climate alarmism. It requires power plans basically by allowance for
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: CO two emissions, effectively acting as kind of a carbon tax.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: And you know, I think a misnomer is that this
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: carbon tax is just bored by the companies or utilities,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: but in truth it's obviously passed along to the ratepayers.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: And I think Pennsylvania's desire and looking at it, and
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: there were hearings there. We of course sent our own
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Mark Morano up there to testify, but other organizations did,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: to the competitive enterprises, to CO two Coalition, others. We're
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: able to convince legislators to act against it, and eventually,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: I think given in the last elections, in particular in
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: New Jersey, there is real concern about energy costs, and
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: I think he saw the right on the wall saying
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: that you know, if we're going to there's about a
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: twelve percent Sometimes up are higher up towards of thirty
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: percent hike and electricity bills. So if you're looking at
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: a region in particular as to why electricity prices go
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: up in these Northeastern states, which are among the highest
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: in the country, it can be traced a regie, which
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: is these states gutting and getting rid of their fossil
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: fuel generation and moving to renewables. So I don't know
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: where Youngkin got Virginia out. Now span Burger's getting us
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: back in. It's going to be a bad news that
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: in conjunction with the offshore wind initiative that Virginia has
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: decided to go on. I think you're looking at very
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: high electricity prices coming to your future.
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: Well, and this is the thing. And then they demagogue
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: the data centers because there's a lot of them in Virginia.
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: President Trump just yesterday with these data center operators in
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: the Oval Office. He's right, you need some public relations
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: on your side because you know, these data center operators
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: have become the whipping boy of the modern American left. Oh,
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: data centers, that's why your electricity bills have gone up.
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: And it's a lie. And you know, every time I
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: say it's a lie, nobody rebuffs it. So I know
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: they know it's a lie. They just want to say
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: it and hope nobody pushes back against it. Because oh,
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: big data, because you know, liberty loving people might be
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: scared of big data, so you can demnicogue big data.
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: You know, the greenies are afraid of big data because
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: big data, and so it's this easy villain to be made.
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: And they they don't deserve it because they're not the
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: reason the rates are going up. It's it's these you know,
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: Virginia Clean Economy Act and nonsense. I understand from the
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: General Assembly that not only is Abigail Spanberger putting us
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: back in Reggie, they're writing legislation that will keep a
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: subsequent governor from doing what Glenn Youngkin did, which is
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: our you know, unilaterally stepping out of it. They're going
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: to make it an Act of the General Assembly, so
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: he would have to legislate it out of existence. And
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: and it's all being sold to Virginians Craig as this
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: great multi million dollar boon to our budget. Oh, we're
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: going to get so much money from it. And when
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: I asked where's it coming from from, it's like the
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: mystical other people are sending us money for our Virginia
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: budget when it's really coming from all those rate payers
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: and all those taxpayers, isn't it?
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: It absolutely is. And here's here's kind of there's a
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: few misnomers on this thing. What are the reasons they're
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: doing it? If you take them at their work, they
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: want to drive down greenhouse gas emissions, they want to
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: make the environment cleaner. Well, first off, we know that
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: renewable energy, all environment all form energy have made impacts.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: You know, even these offshore wind they've been linked to
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: killing whales. They have national security concerns. You have the
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: onshore wind American Bird Society, as they kill over a
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: million birds and we're not talking snows. A lot of
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: these are hawks and eagles and danger speci. But then
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: you add to that the cost to the consumers, and
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: they are intermittent power sources. Offshore wind about thirty five
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: percent of the time it's giving you what its ear
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: markd capacity is same with onshore wind, it's even worse.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: It's about twenty five percent of what they actually state
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: they'll generate. These are things I can't even barely provide
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: enough electricity reliably at our current electricity uses. You bring
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: on AI and you're talking probably hundreds of megawatts of
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: new electricity that needs to be generated at the very
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: time that we're gutting and getting rid of our fossil
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: fuel energy, and we of course takes decades to move
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: nuclear power. You're in for a real surprise. So what
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: winds up happening with these Reggie states is they wind
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: up getting a lot of their electricity from states that
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: aren't Reggie states. All places like West Virginia and Pennsylvania
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: which have at abandoned fossil fuels, and so the emissions
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: that you're thinking you're saving are just being moved elsewhere
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: to places that actually are responsible in how they're developing
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: their energy, and the overall greenhouse emissions don't plunge, and
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: you wind up making your electricity more expensive for no reason.
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: That's the key part of this, you know, as much
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: as the economy and the pocket books. And my wife,
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: would you do Jethro Gibbs and smack me in the
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: back of the head for saying this. The key to
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: me isn't so much that it's driving up electric bills.
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: That's obviously pocketbook stuff. It's that it doesn't do anything.
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: I mean, if somebody came to me and said, Joe,
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: it's going to cost you more to do your radio show,
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: but you're going to be on two hundred more radio stations,
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: I say, okay, well, let's pencil that out and see
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: if there's a reasonable, you know, mathematical return on investment.
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: But there's nothing that. The environment isn't getting cleaner, the
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: the the water isn't cleaner, the air isn't cleaner. It's
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: a it's a shell game, isn't it.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Craig it's completely is a shell game. And as I say,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: we have some real needs. I mean, if you're going
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: to use data centers and they're they're a thing that's
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: coming online and they have a bad pr and you
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: know the way it's structured right now, they do kind
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: of jack up prices because they're going into the regular grid.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: I think President Trump in the State of the Union
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: brought up a good point. I think a lot of
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: them want to generate their own power. Yeah, and if
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: they should be given that latitude to do so, then
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: you know, for the most part, they're kind of footing
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: the bill for their own electricity use. And in fact,
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: it could be a boom because if they produce their
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: own electric hopefully they're not strapped to Reggie or something
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: like that. When they do it, they could actually be
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: selling power into the grid, and probably a whole lot
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: cheaper than these renewables are. So what could be a
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: negative could be turned to a positive if President Trump
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: figures this out. And to us, we support that idea
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: of them generating their own power and not being bound
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: by the renewable energy mandates. You know, yeah, lest Virginia's.
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: If there's anyone in all of American governance that I
• 37:32

  Speaker 20: We share the science behind common diesel problems in their solutions.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: For example, diesel fuel setane levels.
• 38:08
  Speaker 20: In many states, the setane rating and diesel fuel is
• 38:11
  Speaker 20: forty two to forty five. Most diesel engines operate more
• 38:14
  Speaker 20: efficiently with the cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one.

• 38:20
  Speaker 20: seatane seven points, increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts.

  Speaker 13: Exercise is hard, so was me. Containing a healthy diet,
• 41:02
  Speaker 13: of course, neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly,
• 41:07
  Speaker 13: Type two diabetes, heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a
• 41:10
  Speaker 13: million people a year. Even sadder, most of these deaths
• 41:14
  Speaker 13: are preventable with a few lifestyle changes, including regular activity,
• 41:18
  Speaker 13: healthier eating, and not smoking. Talk to your doctor about
• 41:23
  Speaker 13: your risk for type two diabetes and heart disease, and
• 41:26
  Speaker 13: if your doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication, listen. The
• 41:31
  Speaker 13: reason so many die is because not enough are willing
• 41:34
  Speaker 13: to change. You can stop it, starting right now. It's

  Speaker 2: All right, sir, amaze your friends here in First Thing

  Speaker 2: Today by Joe Thomas.
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: Talking with Craig Rucker see Fact this morning. And is
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: Craig still is Craig's still there? Where did Craig go?
• 44:31
  Speaker 5: Did we? I didn't inadvertently hang up on him? Did I?
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: That happens?
• 44:37
  Speaker 5: So that happened to us with that clip we were
• 44:39
  Speaker 5: playing before before as well, just you know, push the
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: wrong button Joe. Chris Horner, our mutual friend, Chris Horner
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: is listening, and he texted in when we were talking
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: about how all this money and all this Reggie doesn't
• 44:53
  Speaker 5: do anything. He says, also mentioned that the temperature will
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: be whatever it would have been anyway.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: And that's true.
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: I mean, this is this is a significant sound and
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: fury signifying nothing. Craig.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you mentioned President Trump being one of the people.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: I actually think Chris Horner would be one of those
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: other people that I would trust to get it right too.
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: And and be entertaining. See that's the thing you and
• 45:19
  Speaker 5: Mark and Chris Bonner is is a decidedly different sort
• 45:24
  Speaker 5: of wit about this. And I don't know if this
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: is because of all these people that you've had that
• 45:30
  Speaker 5: you have to be around. You've developed this this wry
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: uh uh, you know, almost Mark Twain esque wit about
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: these people who are trying to do this to us. Craig,
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: I don't know if that's just what keeps you from
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: walking to the edge of a cliff and taking a jump.
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: But you know, bless you and Mark. You know, Mark's
• 45:52
  Speaker 5: movies are incredible, uh and Chris's books, all of you.
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: And that's the important thing is we're happy warriors in this.
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: We we know that the task is difficult, and perhaps
• 46:04
  Speaker 5: satire about these people is one of the most effective
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: weapons for some of this puffery, isn't.
• 46:09
  Speaker 15: It It is?
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: It is, And to be honest with you, I find
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: rather amusing in this old battle and fighting renewables. And
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: that is how left and right had actually come together.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: We actually are locking cords. We're going to Oklahoma this weekend, huh,
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: and we're protesting a wind farm and a bunch of
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: wind farms planned for eastern Oklahoma. We hope to have
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: hundreds of people out of the capitol. But included among
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: these are not just your regular property owners and ranchers
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: and people like that. We also got Native Americans. And
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: then of course you have bird lovers. So you got
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: right and left coming together to oppose the Green New Deal.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: You got to love it.
• 46:46
  Speaker 14: Oh that is great.
• 46:47
  Speaker 5: Well, it kind of reminds me here in central Virginia,
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: long before the pipeline became a thing, the residence of
• 46:56
  Speaker 5: a mountaintop community called Winter Green, all rallied against the
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: development of solar arrays and wind farms at the top
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: of a mountain. And if you think, if there's a
• 47:06
  Speaker 5: place in all of Christendom you're going to put wind
• 47:09
  Speaker 5: turbines to generate electricity, it might be at the top
• 47:12
  Speaker 5: of a mountain range. And they all railed about that,
• 47:15
  Speaker 5: and they stopped that in its tracks politically and called
• 47:18
  Speaker 5: in favors et cetera, et cetera. And then as soon
• 47:21
  Speaker 5: as I'm not sure if it was the Mountain Valley Pipe,
• 47:24
  Speaker 5: one of the pipelines that was supposed to come through
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: the same area, they railed against that too. At least
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: at least tell us you're not doing it for environmental reasons.
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: You're just watching out for your property values. And we
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: can be fine with that.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. It's good to know that people like Al Gore
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: and AOC and you know, some of these liberal governors
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: are bringing us right and left all together against them.
• 47:49
  Speaker 5: It's a heartwarming thing. So that's in Oklahoma coming up
• 47:53
  Speaker 5: this week at Sea Fact. What else do you guys,
• 47:56
  Speaker 5: Where else are the battles being waged.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, we've got several of them. I've been a little
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: bit on the road here, you know. Despite Trump pulling
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: US out of the about sixty six UN organizations recently,
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: some still are operating in the US as though they
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: have authority. One of them is the ESCO, which we
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: pulled out of, but they're trying to create a World
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: Heritage site down in the ok Finoki Swamp, and we're
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: going to be going down there again with farmers, ranchers
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: and sportsmen and others to oppose that. Because once the
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: UN has some sort of jurisdiction over an area, they
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: can actually have a say in how the landing around
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: the area. So we'll be down there probably in the
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: near future. We're fighting a good fight out in Texas
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: to stop a power line again. We're working with Native
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: Americans and others. So we've become kind of very busy
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: trying to assist the administration and fulfilling kind of what
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: they're doing. I mean, that's not our stated purpose, but
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: we're certainly the same side of them to adopt these
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: remnants of the Green New Deal that came in very
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: forcibly under Obama and under Biden.
• 49:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, these these un organizations, they don't go quietly into
• 49:10
  Speaker 5: the good night, Craig. So I appreciate what you're doing
• 49:14
  Speaker 5: for them there and keep up the great work.
• 49:16
  Speaker 17: Uh.
• 49:17
  Speaker 5: And we'll talk to you again very soon down the
• 49:20
  Speaker 5: turnpike as the year goes on, and I appreciate it
• 49:25
  Speaker 5: as always. It is the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow.
• 49:29
  Speaker 5: See fact dot org is the is the phone number,
• 49:35
  Speaker 5: and say hi to Christine Christina for me and tell
• 49:38
  Speaker 5: her hopefully we can chat soon.
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: Will do you have a terrific day?
• 49:43
  Speaker 8: Yo?
• 49:45
  Speaker 5: Four three four eight A two four two one seven
• 49:48
  Speaker 5: is the phone day. And I know that some folks
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: will text and say, you know, you should make fun
• 49:54
  Speaker 5: of these people. This is serious business. But I think
• 49:58
  Speaker 5: that number one, if you want to win ears and eyes,
• 50:04
  Speaker 5: satire can do that faster than scholarly debate. And it's
• 50:17
  Speaker 5: not that you need to have the scholarly debate before
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: you can write the satirical bits. I remember fifth grade
• 50:29
  Speaker 5: version of Joe Thomas PS forty one in New York City.
• 50:36
  Speaker 5: My mother helped me because that's what parents do with
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: kids with a project, and I wanted to write a play.
• 50:42
  Speaker 5: We wrote a one act play about Richard Nixon's Oval office,
• 50:49
  Speaker 5: and you know, you know, keeping in mind, this is
• 50:52
  Speaker 5: the height of Watergate, and we were going to do
• 50:56
  Speaker 5: this for a fifth grade class, and so know, my
• 51:00
  Speaker 5: mother knew all the news of the day, and she
• 51:03
  Speaker 5: helped me write the jokes about Rosemary Woods and breaking
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: the tape recorder and and and some of them were
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: obviously fifth grade era kind of jokes. But I remember specifically, uh,
• 51:15
  Speaker 5: you know, Richard Nixon having trouble Mike. I was playing Nixon,
• 51:19
  Speaker 5: Richard Nixon having trouble with the with the intercom and
• 51:23
  Speaker 5: he's like, oh, I keeps shutting this thing off. And
• 51:26
  Speaker 5: he got laughs from the parents and stuff like that.
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: But I think that has some impact. I think it
• 51:36
  Speaker 5: has it has some gravity, and you know it certainly
• 51:41
  Speaker 5: they are serious matters, but it it is important to
• 51:51
  Speaker 5: not let the people who want to be puffed up
• 51:54
  Speaker 5: by this be puffed up by it. So you know,
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: we'll get into all of that. There's so much more
• 52:04
  Speaker 5: I want to get into a couple of rulings that
• 52:09
  Speaker 5: came down Governor Polus in Colorado's looking at clemency or
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: you know, looking at the sentence for Tina Peters election interference.
• 52:19
  Speaker 5: Virginia has just ruled on free speech. Apparently teachers can
• 52:24
  Speaker 5: no longer teach the actual bits of history anymore. We're
• 52:28
  Speaker 5: going to get further into this thing about it's all
• 52:31
  Speaker 5: because January sixth, but they never apply this to anyone else.
• 52:35
  Speaker 5: So so much more to get into Tomorrow morning and
• 52:39
  Speaker 5: special guests visiting us as well as we gather here
• 52:43
  Speaker 5: along the talk media network. I hope you can join
• 52:45
