0:13
Speaker 3: Jewort's steal Me Step.
0:16
Speaker 1: You have a day at least for work when the
0:19
Speaker 1: sun comes up, drops.
0:21
Speaker 4: A kid to school on the way.
0:24

0:29
Speaker 6: Joe's a smile, he only is.
0:36
Speaker 1: Joe.
0:36
Speaker 7: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
0:39
Speaker 7: this morning. I want to be four three four eight
0:43
Speaker 7: eight two four to two one seven.
0:45
Speaker 5: It's a Sky News report.
0:47
Speaker 7: Is the horrific shootings at Vondai Beach in Sydney. Unfolded
0:52
Speaker 7: video of just a civilian coming up and doing uh,
0:57
Speaker 7: the ultimate and heroic action. You want to tell about
1:00
Speaker 7: a first responder. That's a first responder, a man who
1:03
Speaker 7: stopped and probably saved.
1:08
Speaker 5: More lives than not.
1:14
Speaker 7: This text message Joel alluded to the fact that there
1:17
Speaker 7: were warnings before. This is from Benjamin Netanya who Mike
1:25
Speaker 7: had a question. He's like, I haven't heard that part
1:28
Speaker 7: of the story regarding Australia being warned about this guy.
1:33
Speaker 7: It's not specifically that Israeli politicians like Prime Minister Netnah,
1:44
Speaker 7: who say they had warned Australians about ignoring anti Jewish incidents.
1:53
Speaker 7: They accused Australia's leadership of ignoring anti Semitism, not specifically
1:59
Speaker 7: these two guys, but in general. And some of it
2:10
Speaker 7: becomes the political saber rattling having to do with Australia
2:14
Speaker 7: and their position regarding the October seventh attacks and their
2:25
Speaker 7: position that Hamas were the aggrieved party in those attacks.
2:35
Speaker 7: So there wasn't like these two guys were on somebody's
2:39
Speaker 7: watch list, this father and son team. But when Joel
2:42
Speaker 7: pointed to the fact that people had been warned, Israel
2:46
Speaker 7: has been warning any nation that took the side of
2:49
Speaker 7: Hamas in that remarkable global, frightening world of rebranding that
2:56
Speaker 7: has the world viewing hamas As as a marginalized community.
3:05
Speaker 7: And in Australia it is redoubled. Couple of stories over
3:10
Speaker 7: yesterday regarding the indigenous and that that's why Australia was
3:17
Speaker 7: trying to get right with these oppressed indigenous peoples like
3:23
Speaker 7: Hamas apparently, and that's according to Israeli authorities, given free
3:30
Speaker 7: rise to this anti Semitic murder, especially in the light
3:38
Speaker 7: of those who if you go again, special, special, toxic
3:42
Speaker 7: waste dump that is social media talking about how the
3:46
Speaker 7: Australian government were hypocrites for recognizing Hamas and then allowing
3:55
Speaker 7: the Jewish community dies it do. We have the Portnoy
3:58
Speaker 7: and you know how special it is when sports guys start.
4:01
Speaker 5: Weighing in on public policy.
4:03
Speaker 7: But Dave Portnoy is being so mischaracterized in that toxic
4:09
Speaker 7: waste dump of social media. We'll have to debunk some
4:12
Speaker 7: of that for him. Not that it's something that I
4:14
Speaker 7: feel driven to do all the time, but our first
4:17
Speaker 7: things begin in Australia, where the Prime Minister this morning
4:22
Speaker 7: announced that they are going to start coming up with
4:25
Speaker 7: more stringent gun regulations than they already have in place
4:32
Speaker 7: after the alleged Islamist father and son pair killed fifteen
4:36
Speaker 7: people and injured forty others during the first day of
4:40
Speaker 7: Hanukas celebration on Bandai Beach in Sydney. Quote from Prime
4:46
Speaker 7: Minister Anthony albanize, people's circumstances change, people can be radicalized
4:53
Speaker 7: over a period of time. Licenses should not be in perpetuity. Meanwhile,
5:00
Speaker 7: US President Donald Trump said American Jews celebrating Hanukah should
5:04
Speaker 7: not be worried about their safety following the attack. Quote,
5:08
Speaker 7: celebrate proudly, be proud of who you are.
5:11
Speaker 5: Trump said. On Sunday.
5:15
Speaker 7: In Providence, two Brown University students were killed and nine
5:19
Speaker 7: others were wounded in a shooting as a test was
5:22
Speaker 7: being taken at the Barrison Hlly Engineering Building around four
5:27
Speaker 7: Saturday afternoon. Authorities have released widely a video showing a
5:32
Speaker 7: man dressed in all black leaving the building on foot.
5:36
Speaker 5: Rhode Island.
5:36
Speaker 8: A G.
5:37
Speaker 7: Peter Narona says it is the most useful piece of
5:40
Speaker 7: evidence they can share with the public, he said, added,
5:44
Speaker 7: after being pressed by members of the press, he said,
5:47
Speaker 7: if they had any video where you could show a
5:51
Speaker 7: face to the public, quote, you'd have it. The police
5:56
Speaker 7: also have released the person of interest who was detained
6:02
Speaker 7: in connection with that shooting. Filmmaker Rob Reiner and his
6:11
Speaker 7: wife Michelle Reiner are dead this morning. They were found
6:14
Speaker 7: dead Sunday afternoon in their Brentwood, California home. Family spokesperson
6:19
Speaker 7: told Variety magazine quote, it's with profound sorrow that we
6:23
Speaker 7: announced the tragic passing of Michelle and Rob Reiner. We
6:26
Speaker 7: are heartbroken for this loss. However, authorities are looking into
6:32
Speaker 7: the Reiner's relationship with their son, who are who is
6:37

12:56
Speaker 4: It's on hundred to do list.
13:13
Speaker 2: Putting the radio on is the first thing today.
13:16
Speaker 19: Information honoring is really quite ferocious. It's right us to
13:20
Speaker 19: take them line and makes them sound precocious.
13:22
Speaker 20: But seeing England in Congress or and mainstream out that,
13:24
Speaker 20: so this information's origins a slightly loss atrocious.
13:30
Speaker 3: It's how you had alighted lie, it's how you line.
13:33
Speaker 7: So the algorithm and believe me, disinformation and artificial intelligence
13:39
Speaker 7: are this kind of perverse couple, like in.
13:42
Speaker 5: The movie War of the Roses.
13:44
Speaker 7: They're destructive, or or the characters in The Eagles Life
13:50
Speaker 7: in the fast Lane they're destructive. But man, they make
13:55
Speaker 7: a couple. They are a power couple and a couple
13:59
Speaker 7: of stories. This one I wanted to share because it
14:03
Speaker 7: makes so much of the case of how we are adapting.
14:11
Speaker 7: There was a column written yesterday that I wanted to
14:13
Speaker 7: share anyway, and it was.
14:20
Speaker 5: Where did it go? Here? Did they take it down? Huh?
14:30
Speaker 7: It took it down. I sent it to myself. The
14:34
Speaker 7: title of the article is Magga to Blame for Rob
14:40
Speaker 7: Reiner's shocking murder and the author who. I wanted to
14:45
Speaker 7: share the whole column with you because I think it
14:47
Speaker 7: makes a much better case than the headline. But the
14:50
Speaker 7: opening paragraph is that the author had written the headline
14:53
Speaker 7: specifically to hit AI for its distribution of these kind
15:01
Speaker 7: of hateful rants. You know my career history of how
15:07
Speaker 7: I feel about when sports people pick up the pick up.
15:12
Speaker 5: The news discussion.
15:14
Speaker 7: And Dave Portnoy is just such a guy like that.
15:20
Speaker 7: And Travis Clay Travis is you know, another one as well.
15:27
Speaker 7: You know youah bless him. He does a creditable job,
15:30
Speaker 7: I think. But for the most part, these folks, you know,
15:34
Speaker 7: you need to tell us, you know who won the
15:36
Speaker 7: ball game last night.
15:37
Speaker 5: I can do that.
15:40
Speaker 7: But Dave Portnoy is being mischaracterized in the world as
15:43
Speaker 7: well for something he said. And unfortunately the Internet doesn't
15:48
Speaker 7: understand nuance and or sarcasm or irony for that matter.
15:53
Speaker 7: But first, before we get any further into that, let's
15:55
Speaker 7: see how gold and silver are greeting the new work
15:58
Speaker 7: week with our friend Jay Sames Luck from the Jefferson
16:01
Speaker 7: Coin Shop jcsgold dot com. Silver continued to ride that

16:28
Speaker 21: be breaking our record here at.
16:32

16:35
Speaker 21: Honestly, I think we're tied here for record all time highs.

16:55
Speaker 7: I'm telling you this is this is not new, and
16:58
Speaker 7: especially as the world's seems to be held bent on
17:01
Speaker 7: tearing itself apart this weekend. Understandably people wanting to invest
17:07
Speaker 7: in gold. But you were saying, you know, these the
17:09
Speaker 7: gold price is really driven by the sovereign countries that
17:12
Speaker 7: are trying to hedge their bets against it, you know,
17:16
Speaker 7: and and we ride the ride with them there. You know,
17:19

19:12
Speaker 7: So I was talking about Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports,
19:17
Speaker 7: but has has faced some anti Semitic activity and the headline.
19:23
Speaker 7: I'm going to read you the headline of the story,
19:26
Speaker 7: and again this goes back into AI and how AI
19:33
Speaker 7: is partnering with this movement of social media influencers. It's
19:40
Speaker 7: the Jew's fault, is the headline. It's the Jew's fault.
19:44
Speaker 7: Exclamation point. Portnoy goes off after Australian Hanukah shooting. Now,
19:52
Speaker 7: before you get angry, I'm going to play what Dave
19:55
Speaker 7: Portnoy actually said, and you tell me if the headline
19:59
Speaker 7: has a any.
20:00
Speaker 5: Reference at all.
20:01
Speaker 7: I mean, yes, the words are spoken, but it's not
20:06
Speaker 7: how it was portrayed.
20:08
Speaker 5: Do we have the clipping ahead.
20:10
Speaker 18: Recent rise of anti semitism, Let's bring in Barstool Sports
20:13
Speaker 18: founder Dave Portnoy. Dave, we had a lot of things
20:16
Speaker 18: that we wanted to talk to you about today, but
20:17
Speaker 18: we are going to stick.
20:18
Speaker 5: With the breaking news.
20:19
Speaker 18: When you woke up and heard about this targeted attack
20:22
Speaker 18: against Jewish Australians celebrating the first night of Hanukkah in
20:26
Speaker 18: one of the most beautiful places in the world, Bondai Beach,
20:30
Speaker 18: what did you think?
20:31
Speaker 22: I mean, it's sadness, is tragic, and there's a lot
20:34
Speaker 22: of tragic news. I actually tweeted out, I mean between this,
20:38
Speaker 22: between Brown University the Syria attacks, you don't even want
20:41
Speaker 22: to turn on the TV. I wish I could say
20:43
Speaker 22: I'm shocked or surprised, but tax like these seem borderline
20:47
Speaker 22: inevitable with what's going on in the world. It is
20:52
Speaker 22: tragic and it's sad, but not surprising, and that that
20:56
Speaker 22: in itself is probably you know, the saddest part of it,
21:00
Speaker 22: that I'm not surprised.
21:01
Speaker 18: And you were on the receiving end of somebody who
21:04
Speaker 18: had an anti Semitic outburst while you were recording one
21:07
Speaker 18: of your world famous one byte pizza reviews down in
21:09
Speaker 18: Mississippi a couple of weeks ago.
21:11
Speaker 7: Why would you think that it's so cold because I
21:13
Speaker 7: had never heard of these one bite pizza reviews, so
21:18
Speaker 7: how world famous they are. But anyway back to the
21:20
Speaker 7: clip the anchor there, I don't know if this is
21:23
Speaker 7: a paid spot. Yeah, I mean to be fair, I
21:26
Speaker 7: mean I talked to James Luck because you know, they're
21:28
Speaker 7: a sponsor of the program. Portnoy may be sponsoring Fox News,
21:32
Speaker 7: so they had to sneak in a little promo there.
21:34
Speaker 5: But surprising, well.
21:37
Speaker 22: Because I see, you know, people are doing being anti Semitic,
21:41
Speaker 22: just openly, and there doesn't seem to be a whole
21:44
Speaker 22: heck of a lot of pushback.
21:45
Speaker 3: There seems to be a lot of excuses for it.
21:48
Speaker 22: If Jews anti Semitic attacks, whatever Jews deserved it, Jews retaliate,
21:54
Speaker 22: it's the Jew's fault.
21:55
Speaker 5: No matter.
21:55
Speaker 7: So you see what he's doing there, he's you know,
21:58
Speaker 7: and it's not him saying it's the Jew's fault.
22:01
Speaker 23: Hey, I'm Brandt and her name is Shary.
22:03
Speaker 8: I love.
22:04
Speaker 23: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
22:07
Speaker 23: for because of a surgery she just went through.
22:09
Speaker 24: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
22:12
Speaker 24: talk about all the time, which is meta share. That
22:14
Speaker 24: is right.
22:14
Speaker 23: Yeah, So what was your experience like with meta share
22:17
Speaker 23: and health care ability?
22:18
Speaker 24: Honestly, brandt seamless and what a blessing that is. When
22:21
Speaker 24: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was,
22:24
Speaker 24: members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
22:27
Speaker 24: me tell you, having people pray with you when you
22:31
Speaker 24: call in with your need that is just refreshing. Yes,
22:34
Speaker 24: that's what it is.
22:35
Speaker 23: But I keep telling people, people love meta share and
22:38
Speaker 23: they love saving money. The typical family can save five
22:41
Speaker 23: hundred dollars a month.
22:42
Speaker 24: I am very thankful for meta share. It is so different,
22:46
Speaker 24: and I mean different in a very very good way.
22:48
Speaker 23: It is good different.

23:06
Speaker 25: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
23:11
Speaker 25: better care for pets from AI assisted radiographs that speed
23:16
Speaker 25: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases. AI supports
23:20
Speaker 25: veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
23:25
Speaker 25: personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
23:31
Speaker 25: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
23:35
Speaker 25: on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
23:40
Speaker 25: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
23:44
Speaker 25: AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
23:48
Speaker 25: your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
23:53
Speaker 25: center of our profession. For more information on AI and

Speaker 5: A message from FEMA and me.
28:12
Speaker 2: From the home of the First Amendment, First thing today.
28:52
Speaker 7: So the idea of thou shalt not murder is lost
28:56
Speaker 7: on so many folks, and whether it's little cases and
29:03
Speaker 7: the dozens and dozens of people who had family members
29:06
Speaker 7: stolen from them in cities like New.
29:08
Speaker 5: York and Boston and Chicago and Denver.
29:13
Speaker 7: Just this week, the big headline stories obviously sunk the
29:18
Speaker 7: air out of the room, and it was horrific. The
29:21
Speaker 7: death of one is as devastating as the death of fifteen,
29:30
Speaker 7: but sometimes not as senseless. And again we go back
29:33
Speaker 7: to the blaming of the inanimate object. It wasn't the
29:37
Speaker 7: rifle that was to blame, although if you listen to
29:41
Speaker 7: the Australian Prime Minister it was at least to a
29:45
Speaker 7: small degree. He's laying the blame on the who do
29:51
Speaker 7: you say radicalized again?
29:53
Speaker 5: You know, and these are.
29:54
Speaker 7: The buzzwords that we use to make it less like jihad,
30:02
Speaker 7: less religiously motivated, less motivated on this idea that how
30:08
Speaker 7: can Australia allow a Jewish community to do such a
30:12
Speaker 7: thing while Israel is the poster child of trump Ism
30:20
Speaker 7: and we need to stand up against all their stuff.
30:25
Speaker 7: And it's all excuse making. It's all excuse making so
30:28
Speaker 7: that people can kill one another.
30:34
Speaker 5: At least when there's.
30:36
Speaker 7: A gang banging drive by shooting in Philadelphia, you can say, okay, well,
30:44
Speaker 7: this drug gang wanted to target that drug gang and
30:47
Speaker 7: they shut up a party full of people and took
30:50
Speaker 7: out a bunch of innocent bystanders.
30:52
Speaker 5: And the same thing is true these tragedies. We shrugged
30:57
Speaker 5: them off.
30:58
Speaker 7: Now, well, they were at a party with a bunch
31:00
Speaker 7: of drug dealers and the drug gangs, thou shalt not murder.
31:04
Speaker 7: Even if you're in a drug gang, thou shalt not murder.
31:13
Speaker 7: And I know that's naive to say, but if we
31:16
Speaker 7: don't say it, who's going to And we shrug and
31:21
Speaker 7: we say, oh, well, you know, it's understandable we allow
31:25
Speaker 7: clowns and gowns to overturn rulings and give lighter sentences
31:32
Speaker 7: to murderers because there was some mitigating. Well, he was
31:38
Speaker 7: tormented because he was this religion and he felt like
31:42
Speaker 7: the other religions were oppressing him and he was fighting
31:45
Speaker 7: back and all these machinations that are just like Dave
31:51
Speaker 7: Portnoy was saying, it's it's this idea that it's somebody
31:54
Speaker 7: else's fault. If you if you were killed in a
31:57
Speaker 7: drive by shooting, well it was your fault. You were
31:59
Speaker 7: at the wrong party ers, you know, And Dave Portnoy
32:02
Speaker 7: is getting killed for making this statement.
32:05
Speaker 5: He's not wrong.
32:08
Speaker 7: When you know in how things are being portrayed in Australia.
32:12
Speaker 22: Well, because I see, you know, people are doing being
32:15
Speaker 22: anti semitic just openly, and there doesn't seem to be
32:19
Speaker 22: a whole heck of a lot of pushback.
32:21
Speaker 5: There seems to be a lot of excuses for it.
32:24
Speaker 22: If Jews anti Semitic attacks, whatever Jews deserved it, Jews retaliate,
32:29
Speaker 22: it's the Jew's fault, no matter what is is the Jews.
32:33
Speaker 5: So he's not saying it was the Jew's fault.
32:35
Speaker 7: He's saying that that's what these authoritarians shrug and say, Well,
32:39
Speaker 7: you know, if you weren't Jewish, the guy wouldn't have
32:41
Speaker 7: shown up on the beach and shot at you if
32:44
Speaker 7: you didn't, if he didn't go out there on this
32:46
Speaker 7: beautiful beach and have a sunrise, you know what would
32:49
Speaker 7: the reaction be if this was an Easter Saturday morning
32:53
Speaker 7: or Sunday mornings, Easter Sunday. And how many communities have
32:57
Speaker 7: Sunday Easter Sunday services outdoors. It's the beautiful spring day
33:04
Speaker 7: and the sunrises and people all huddling with a cup
33:07
Speaker 7: of hot chocolate or their coffee to stay warm because
33:10
Speaker 7: it's usually in the forties or fifties, and gather for
33:14
Speaker 7: that Easter sunrise service. It's all this group was doing
33:20
Speaker 7: for their Hanukkah celebration. And because they exist, somebody was
33:30
Speaker 7: told you have to go go the same thing in
33:32
Speaker 7: Syria because Americans exist. This idea of oppressor has become
33:39
Speaker 7: this excuse to do horrific things. If I'm poor and
33:44
Speaker 7: you're not, well, you're an oppressor. You've oppressed me, so
33:47
Speaker 7: I have a right to go after you as an oppressor.
33:51
Speaker 7: It's a dangerous word, but it's one that the dark
33:55
Speaker 7: hearted ad agencies used to rebrand hamas as something other
34:00
Speaker 7: than a terrorist organization. No, they're just a poor, misunderstood
34:06
Speaker 7: band of people who have been oppressed for so many years.
34:12
Speaker 7: And I said, you know, we can be intellectually honest
34:15
Speaker 7: and tell you the crusades were wrong, just as much
34:17
Speaker 7: as we can be intellectually honest and say the slavery
34:20
Speaker 7: was wrong. It has nothing to do with the here
34:23
Speaker 7: and the now. This is just murder and it has
34:27
Speaker 7: to be treated as same. And any excuse making like this.
34:31
Speaker 7: Par Prime Minister in Australia is trying to make it like, well,
34:34
Speaker 7: we should have been able to interview them for their
34:36
Speaker 7: guns so we could try to find out their radical intentions.
34:41
Speaker 5: How is that going to work? What exactly are you
34:43
Speaker 5: going to ask gun.
34:44
Speaker 7: Owners in Australia that's going to give you some inkling
34:47
Speaker 7: as to what their beliefs are towards other people. You're
34:51
Speaker 7: going to say, Oi, do you think it's all right
34:55
Speaker 7: to take your gun and shoot someone just because you
34:58
Speaker 7: don't agree with them? Then what does that questionnaire even
35:04
Speaker 7: look like? But yet there are more people hiding their
35:07
Speaker 7: intents behind podiums and pretending like they'll somehow fix our
35:12
Speaker 7: problems for us. Good morning, you're on the air, first
35:15
Speaker 7: thing this morning with Joe.
35:16
Speaker 5: Who's this?
35:18
Speaker 30: Hey, this is Moscow, Bob. And what you're talking about
35:21
Speaker 30: is all about the hatred that's in this world of
35:25
Speaker 30: people that are deranged. And the one question really should
35:29
Speaker 30: be asking what would been the world reaction if this was.
35:33
Speaker 8: A Jewish person.
35:37
Speaker 30: Shooting off during Ramadan prayer sessions outside when has their holiday.
35:45
Speaker 30: What would have been the world's reaction? I bet you
35:47
Speaker 30: would have been significantly different.
35:49
Speaker 7: Well, and that's the thing, And this is the point
35:51
Speaker 7: I was trying to make and the reason I brought
35:53
Speaker 7: up you because a lot of my Islamist apologist friends
35:55
Speaker 7: will say, but yeah, but what about the Crusades. I
35:59
Speaker 7: wasn't there. I didn't ride with anyone into the Crusades.
36:03
Speaker 7: It was an awful long time ago, and we have
36:07
Speaker 7: to move on from it. And you know, one of
36:10
Speaker 7: the sad things is that they're using the very things
36:12
Speaker 7: that America that has made America this hotbed of religious
36:17
Speaker 7: tolerance is to come here and make us religiously intolerant
36:21
Speaker 7: because now you know somebody, you know, it's somebody else's
36:26
Speaker 7: fault that you've committed a crime. Oh well, they oppressed
36:30
Speaker 7: me by their existence, and I have to go avenge
36:33
Speaker 7: my oppression by shooting up a beach full of people
36:37
Speaker 7: celebrating a peaceful holiday.
36:40
Speaker 30: Right, You're absolutely correct, And that's the issue. We've raised
36:44
Speaker 30: a generation of people now that have no accountability for
36:50
Speaker 30: their actions, that it's always someone solves's fault because this
36:54
Speaker 30: person did this two hundred years ago. That's why I'm
36:57
Speaker 30: angry today, and that's why I did this.
36:59
Speaker 7: Right, and I'm trying to avenge you. We've all become
37:03
Speaker 7: avenging angels.
37:05
Speaker 5: Uh.
37:05
Speaker 7: And it's wrong, and we have to live in the now.
37:08
Speaker 7: And I understand that there's pain, but we have to Uh.
37:11
Speaker 7: You know, if you didn't physically suffer it, you know,
37:14
Speaker 7: I don't want to hear about it. But these guys
37:16
Speaker 7: uh in Australia, the ones in Boston, who knows what
37:21
Speaker 7: the situation is there because there's still a guy on
37:24
Speaker 7: the lamb from it. But I appreciate it. Bob, you
37:28
Speaker 7: have a great morning, sir, yep four three four eight
37:33
Speaker 7: eight two four two one seven emails come into JT
37:36
Speaker 7: in the Morning radio at gmail dot com.
37:40
Speaker 5: How do how do you?
37:40
Speaker 7: How do you interview somebody if the Prime Minister says
37:44
Speaker 7: we're going to change gun ownership laws, so you have
37:46
Speaker 7: to be is there is there a psych profile that
37:50
Speaker 7: you have to go through in Australia to get a
37:53
Speaker 7: gun permit? Or are you going to institute one? And
37:58
Speaker 7: then what what does the government deter is crazy?
38:01
Speaker 23: Life can change so abruptly.
38:04
Speaker 15: Just ask Paul.
38:05
Speaker 23: He's a hard working entrepreneur, he's young, he's got a
38:08
Speaker 23: young family. Suddenly, though, he develops a rare medical condition
38:11
Speaker 23: where he lost the use of both of his arms.
38:14
Speaker 14: I could no longer drive a car, couldn't use a
38:16
Speaker 14: computer coul type, couldn't use a mouse. I could not
38:18
Speaker 14: hold my son, who was about a month old.
38:20
Speaker 23: Paul and his family were facing a mountain of medical bills,
38:23
Speaker 23: but they're so thankful that they're members of Meta Share.
38:27

38:30
Speaker 14: really wrek. I'm living proof that it works. My four
38:33
Speaker 14: children are living proof that it works. My arms, which
38:36

Speaker 9: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
39:08
Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi'm
39:14
Speaker 9: doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized
39:19
Speaker 9: curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program.
39:24
Speaker 9: It makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation
39:29
Speaker 9: is a key component to our overall health. The Mayo
39:33
Speaker 9: Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has
39:37
Speaker 9: antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent cancer
39:44
Speaker 9: or at least slow the spread of cancer. And in
39:46
Speaker 9: many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy
39:52

Speaker 3: I'm Jack Hannah, and it's always a boy.
41:01
Speaker 32: Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
41:04
Speaker 32: with animals. I'm not only in all of their beauty
41:06
Speaker 32: and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
41:09
Speaker 32: at the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or
41:12
Speaker 32: Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
41:15
Speaker 32: or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
41:17
Speaker 32: secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
41:21
Speaker 32: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
41:23
Speaker 32: in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
41:26
Speaker 32: by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
41:29
Speaker 32: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
41:32
Speaker 32: they also perform life saving work every day.
41:35
Speaker 3: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
41:36
Speaker 32: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
41:39
Speaker 32: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
41:42
Speaker 32: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
41:45
Speaker 32: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
41:47
Speaker 32: in need. So please join me an American Humane and
41:50

42:05
Speaker 28: And now a speech.
42:07
Speaker 18: I just want to say that friendship is about heart
42:11
Speaker 18: art and brain.
42:12
Speaker 3: Who's with me?
42:13
Speaker 14: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
42:16
Speaker 14: brain is saying when it's time to go home.
42:18

Speaker 1: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when

Speaker 2: Question Amaze your friends here in First Thing Today by
44:18
Speaker 2: Joe Thomas.
44:21
Speaker 32: Dot com, the trail head for lots of Me, I'm
44:29
Speaker 32: a strange lady. She made me nervous me maybe I
44:35
Speaker 32: can fast, she says.
44:37
Speaker 26: So you come from ann.
44:45
Speaker 7: So the horrors of this email comes in to me
44:48
Speaker 7: here this morning, Frank writes to JT in the Morning
44:53
Speaker 7: Radio at gmail dot com. It's my understanding that Hannick
44:57
Speaker 7: is a celebration of a military victory. Joe, you're trying
45:01
Speaker 7: to make it that this is some peaceful celebration of
45:04
Speaker 7: a peaceful event. But isn't Honikah a celebration of a
45:08
Speaker 7: military victory. Well, all right, so, and I don't know where,
45:13
Speaker 7: and I know that there is a lot of other
45:15
Speaker 7: people who do what I do and have different things.
45:19
Speaker 7: But the liberation of the Temple in Jerusalem was a liberation.
45:26
Speaker 5: From the Greeks. It is.
45:32
Speaker 7: And I'm not, you know, a scholar in Jewish history,
45:38
Speaker 7: but I do know that the celebration of Honkah is
45:40
Speaker 7: about them resting the Temple in Jerusalem from an invading
45:49
Speaker 7: Greek or Helenic. Hellenic army is Greek from the two
45:58
Speaker 7: thousand years it's more than two thousand years ago. But
46:02
Speaker 7: it's not the It wasn't it wasn't rescued from the Islamists,
46:07
Speaker 7: if that's what you're getting at and picking up, and
46:09
Speaker 7: I brought up the Crusades. It's a different, different invasion,
46:15
Speaker 7: different situation going on there. It was all part of
46:19
Speaker 7: this expansive Hellenic Empire had overwhelmed Jerusalem, and Jerusalem understand,
46:27
Speaker 7: there's a reason Jerusalem is home to all these religions.
46:31
Speaker 5: It was the New York, the of the ancient world.
46:36
Speaker 7: It was a great you know, crossroads, if you will,
46:43
Speaker 7: and almost everybody wanted Jerusalem. And this is how the
46:47
Speaker 7: Romans wound up with it at the time of the
46:49
Speaker 7: crucifixion text message. I don't want to read it, but again,
46:55
Speaker 7: you know, blaming the Jews on the crucifixion. Crucifixion was
46:59
Speaker 7: something Romans did. They did it then maybe they did
47:02
Speaker 7: it at the behest of Caiaphas, But you know, this
47:05
Speaker 7: is this is what.
47:06
Speaker 5: We wind up with. We wind up with this religious hatred.
47:11
Speaker 7: This jihad, and we're being dragged into it because if well,
47:17
Speaker 7: if they're going to do it, well I'm going to
47:18
Speaker 7: get my turn. And this reparational terror that we're bringing
47:24
Speaker 7: on to each other is using our very freedoms against
47:27
Speaker 7: us to bring on authoritarianism and maybe you know Sharia authoritarianism,
47:33
Speaker 7: but some sort of authoritarianism is going to follow if
47:37
Speaker 7: we're not careful and judicious about how we protect our
47:43
Speaker 7: free speech rights and our freedoms in this country. Matt's
47:48
Speaker 7: on the line with us at four three four eight
47:50
Speaker 7: eight two four two one seven. Good morning, Matt, you're
47:52
Speaker 7: on with Joe first thing this morning. What's going on?
47:55
Speaker 34: Yeah, well, I think we need to avoid any kind
47:59
Speaker 34: of situation where the government can determine mental stability.
48:04
Speaker 7: That's one of the things that jumps off this Prime
48:07
Speaker 7: Minister's statement is we're going to have a sanity test
48:11
Speaker 7: performed by the government. That doesn't make me comfortable. These
48:15
Speaker 7: are the people who set up, you know, COVID concentration
48:19
Speaker 7: camps for people who wouldn't take the job.
48:23
Speaker 8: Well.
48:24
Speaker 34: And also, I think if we got to that point,
48:27
Speaker 34: at least to the Democrat Party, Trump derangements or syndrome
48:33
Speaker 34: would be required for any office holder.
48:36
Speaker 5: That's right.
48:37
Speaker 7: We're not looking for sane people anymore, We're looking for
48:40
Speaker 7: the crazy.
48:41
Speaker 34: But this is I mean, this is the problem in
48:47
Speaker 34: that nobody wants to talk about the Islamist crisis. Nobody
48:55
Speaker 34: wants to I mean, people were jumping up and down
48:58
Speaker 34: during the first Trump ammistration when he's picked out six
49:04
Speaker 34: specific countries that we wouldn't take people in from, we
49:09
Speaker 34: wouldn't even have travelers from there.
49:12
Speaker 8: And they called it a muslim man.
49:15
Speaker 34: Yep, he selected six out of twenty four Muslim countries
49:21
Speaker 34: and all of a sudden, it's a Muslim man.
49:24
Speaker 7: And look at the impact of that rhetoric. I have
49:28
Speaker 7: several members of the Virginia Republican Party here in our
49:31
Speaker 7: flagship state who quit the party because they were Muslim
49:35
Speaker 7: and they believed their friends there have no evidence to
49:39
Speaker 7: the contrary, never went and looked just they had been
49:43
Speaker 7: you know, like an Reo Speedwagon song. They heard it
49:45
Speaker 7: from a friend who heard it from a friend who
49:47
Speaker 7: heard it from another that Trump hated Muslims. And so
49:50
Speaker 7: they quit the party. And now they work at UVA
49:54
Speaker 7: and they're all being celebrated for their independence because they
49:57
Speaker 7: were anti Trumpers, like uh, you know, they work with
50:02
Speaker 7: Liz Cheney now at the Center for Politics. They're David
50:05
Speaker 7: Ramadan most highlighted in them. So the the name calling
50:11
Speaker 7: I think had its impact. It's you know, you say
50:14
Speaker 7: this enough times, people aren't going to bother trying to
50:18
Speaker 7: find out the truth. They're just gonna say, well, I
50:20
Speaker 7: have nothing. I don't want to have anything to do
50:21
Speaker 7: with that. So they did. They turn on a sponsor
50:24
Speaker 7: of a radio show, or they turn on a political party,
50:28
Speaker 7: and it allows the authoritarian left to come in and.
50:31
Speaker 5: Say we're not that guy at oh not us, right, Matt.
50:36
Speaker 34: Well, And with this Australian situation, how would the Prime
50:41
Speaker 34: minister be reacting if they had driven a truck into
50:46
Speaker 34: the crowd. Would they be all of a sudden wanting
50:49
Speaker 34: to ban motor.
50:51
Speaker 5: Vehicles hm, or they're licensing, you.
50:55
Speaker 8: Know, and and the other.
50:57
Speaker 34: The other part of it that amuses me is that
51:01
Speaker 34: their automatic reaction is to ban the gun. Sure, Australia
51:08
Speaker 34: has some of the strictest gun regulations in the world.
51:12
Speaker 34: I'm pretty sure they were.
51:14
Speaker 8: Being violated that day.
51:17
Speaker 34: I'm pretty sure those weren't legal weapons that they had.
51:21
Speaker 34: I don't know that means, which means when you have
51:24
Speaker 34: a criminal class. Anytime you prohibit something, whether it's a
51:30
Speaker 34: gun or a bottle of booze or marijuana, you develop
51:36
Speaker 34: a black market for it.
51:39
Speaker 5: Yep.
51:40
Speaker 7: But I think the Prime Minister's statements may indicate that
51:45
Speaker 7: these folks were somehow licensed by Australia to own these
51:50
Speaker 7: rifles that they used in this murderous attack, which is
51:54
Speaker 7: you know why I think he went out and said,
51:56
Speaker 7: we're going to reevaluate how we let people have their
51:59
Speaker 7: guns without what do they say, in perpetuity, meaning that
52:04
Speaker 7: you know, maybe these folks were saying when they first
52:07
Speaker 7: got their gun license or somehow, Matt. That's the part
52:10
Speaker 7: that I find most puzzling is how do you even
52:13
Speaker 7: enforce such a thing.
52:16
Speaker 34: Well, I mean this is to you and I. They
52:21
Speaker 34: may be insane. To them, they're normal.
52:28
Speaker 5: Well, they're heroic.
52:29
Speaker 34: This is this in their mind is what Allah is
52:33
Speaker 34: directing them to do.
52:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, so why.
52:37
Speaker 34: Would they They're not going to submit to a mental
52:41
Speaker 34: health test.
52:42
Speaker 7: Maybe we shouggest ban the most perfectly fine ban Muslims
52:47
Speaker 7: from owning guns. Maybe that's what the Australia needs to do.
52:51
Speaker 20: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
52:55
Speaker 20: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
52:57
Speaker 15: It was metice that came through force and there was
53:00
Speaker 15: no hassles, there was no problem.
53:02
Speaker 20: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
53:06
Speaker 20: of such an incredible ministry.
53:07
Speaker 28: Meta Share is a Biblical approach to healthcare where Christians
