- 1:15Speaker 2: eight two four two one seven as well emails in
- 1:19Speaker 2: the traditional fashion. Come in to JT in the Morning
- 1:23Speaker 2: Radio at gmail dot com. Alan Dershowitz on Pam Bondy and.
- 1:31Speaker 5: Mindy is terrific. She is a great lawyer. She was
- 1:34Speaker 5: a great Attorney General of Florida. And I think she's
- 1:37Speaker 5: getting a bum rap on the Epstein matter.
- 1:39Speaker 2: There it says Jeffrey Epstein's lawyer list.
- 1:43Speaker 5: It's a list of people who have been accused. It's
- 1:45Speaker 5: a list that the FBI has.
- 1:47Speaker 6: I know who's on the list.
- 1:48Speaker 5: I've seen the list, and she was right to say
- 1:52Speaker 5: it was a list.
- 1:53Speaker 2: Now did she get a bum rap for that? Or
- 1:57Speaker 2: were there are other reasons she got a bum rap?
- 2:00Speaker 2: And was it a more simple matter of it's a
- 2:04Speaker 2: job that requires executive skill and was it more about
- 2:09Speaker 2: Dan Vongino and Cash Bettel and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
- 2:16Speaker 5: But it wasn't a list prepared by Jeffrey Epstein. It
- 2:21Speaker 5: wasn't a formal list. It was a list of people
- 2:23Speaker 5: who made accusations. Many people know who's on the list.
- 2:27Speaker 5: There are a lot of prominent people on the list,
- 2:29Speaker 5: many of them falsely accused. I don't know whether any
- 2:32Speaker 5: of the truthfully accused. So I think she's getting a
- 2:34Speaker 5: bum wrapped on the Epstein thing. But on the on
- 2:37Speaker 5: the hand, everybody has been mistreated by the media on Epstein.
- 2:42Speaker 5: You know, Epstein has become a new McCarthyism.
- 2:45Speaker 2: And that's interesting. It was the first time and I
- 2:48Speaker 2: said that very thing. Go back to the podcast from
- 2:51Speaker 2: last week. I think last week, it might be the
- 2:53Speaker 2: week before we made that same point that it was
- 2:56Speaker 2: becoming McCarthyist. All you had to do was say Epstein.
- 3:03Speaker 2: If you knew somebody whose family name surname was Epstein,
- 3:08Speaker 2: you would be dragged into this and you'd lose clients.
- 3:10Speaker 2: You do the thing, and that kind of behavior is
- 3:13Speaker 2: always dangerous, especially when you're trying to help people get justice.
- 3:19Speaker 2: Our first things this morning, Yes, Pam Bondy is out
- 3:23Speaker 2: as Attorney General. She will maintain the job for the
- 3:26Speaker 2: next month as she works on transitioning to Deputy's Attorney
- 3:30Speaker 2: General Todd Blanch, who will administer the office for now. However,
- 3:35Speaker 2: rumblings in Washington that Lee Zelden will move over from
- 3:40Speaker 2: the Environmental Protection Agency to head up DJ Bondi posted
- 3:46Speaker 2: a message after the firing. Serving as Donald Trump's Attorney
- 3:51Speaker 2: General was the honor of a lifetime, highlighting a major
- 3:54Speaker 2: public safety and legal achievements. She made during her time
- 3:58Speaker 2: at DOJ. Meanwhile, Iran is increasing its military preparations as
- 4:04Speaker 2: tensions rise, sitting down with more of their press as
- 4:09Speaker 2: in Tehran. The Wall Street Journal covering their side of
- 4:13Speaker 2: the story, saying that the country has increased its military
- 4:17Speaker 2: presence at many key infrastructural outlets. We don't know what
- 4:22Speaker 2: that means. We didn't quantify. Is that there were none
- 4:26Speaker 2: and now there's one. There were one thousand, now there's
- 4:29Speaker 2: ten thousand. An increase is an increase. Un Security Council
- 4:34Speaker 2: is going to vote today on a draft resolution brought
- 4:38Speaker 2: by Bahrain to authorize the use of defensive force to
- 4:43Speaker 2: protect shipping in the Strait of Hormuz from Iranian attacks.
- 4:48Speaker 2: We don't know what that will look like, but it
- 4:50Speaker 2: will be an interesting vote.
- 4:52Speaker 7: Today.
- 4:53Speaker 2: US Embassy in Baghdad warned American citizens to leave Iraq immediately,
- 4:59Speaker 2: citing threats of it tax from an Iran aligned terrorist
- 5:03Speaker 2: militia in central Baghdad within the next twenty four to
- 5:08Speaker 2: forty eight hours. They said that the next twenty four
- 5:14Speaker 2: to forty eight hours would be very dangerous for American
- 5:17Speaker 2: citizens in the country, and top Democrats and party committees
- 5:23Speaker 2: across the country have all taken turns signing on to
- 5:26Speaker 2: a lawsuit designed to block the administration's executive order that
- 5:31Speaker 2: he signed earlier in the week that would impose new
- 5:35Speaker 2: restrictions on voting by mail. The suit, led by Senate
- 5:40Speaker 2: Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Minority Leader Game Jeffries, argues
- 5:45Speaker 2: that it is an unconstitutional overreach into states authorities to
- 5:51Speaker 2: administer elections. And those are some of our first things
- 5:55Speaker 2: on this good Friday morning here along the talk media network.

- 7:13Speaker 9: five hundred bucks a month, and.

- 7:59Speaker 11: Forty Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the
- 8:07Speaker 11: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 11: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 11: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 11: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 11: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:32Speaker 11: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:37Speaker 11: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42Speaker 11: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46Speaker 11: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51Speaker 11: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

- 9:58Speaker 13: Hi, everybody, I'm Jackman. It's always a boy growing up
- 10:01Speaker 13: on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 13: I'm not only in all of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 13: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:09Speaker 13: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 13: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 10:15Speaker 13: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 10:18Speaker 13: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21Speaker 13: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 10:23Speaker 13: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 10:26Speaker 13: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 10:29Speaker 13: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 10:32Speaker 13: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
- 10:35Speaker 13: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
- 10:38Speaker 13: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
- 10:41Speaker 13: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
- 10:44Speaker 13: variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
- 10:46Speaker 13: help those in need. So please join me an American

- 13:08Speaker 7: Discern how QUI the first thing today by Joe Thomas
- 13:14Speaker 7: on the Dunk Media Network, All natural, home and free
- 13:18Speaker 7: of artificial Intelligence.
- 13:24Speaker 2: Get back to former Congressman, former Chair of the House
- 13:28Speaker 2: Freedom conk is Bob Good in a minute here. But
- 13:32Speaker 2: I want to get a couple of text messages and
- 13:34Speaker 2: emails Pambondi obviously dominating your thoughts as well by all
- 13:39Speaker 2: means four three four eight eight two four two one
- 13:44Speaker 2: seven For the text messages emails, come into JT in
- 13:48Speaker 2: the Morning radio at gmail dot com and use the
- 13:51Speaker 2: same phone number for a phone call too, and we
- 13:53Speaker 2: can discuss how this news in the Attorney General's situation
- 13:59Speaker 2: is it's impacting you where you are, Jenny. Jenny writes
- 14:06Speaker 2: in the hell with Congeniality, Joe, you say Lee Zelden
- 14:11Speaker 2: is a better choice because he'll at least tell the
- 14:13Speaker 2: American people why these things aren't happening, so that maybe
- 14:18Speaker 2: we can fix it. The hell with it, do it anyway,
- 14:22Speaker 2: arrest them all, let them fight it in court. It's
- 14:24Speaker 2: what they did to Donald Trump. Sure, they lost lots
- 14:29Speaker 2: of times, doesn't look like it's going to have any
- 14:31Speaker 2: electoral impact on them. What do you say to that.
- 14:35Speaker 2: I literally cannot argue with your point. They arrested Donald
- 14:40Speaker 2: Trump for everything, including jaywalking. I believe through everything Adam
- 14:44Speaker 2: survived at all won the election. But you know what,
- 14:47Speaker 2: it didn't cast a pox on their house either. There
- 14:52Speaker 2: was no blowback from that behavior. They arrested everyone and
- 14:56Speaker 2: anyone who is within fifty nautical mind of Washington, d C.
- 15:01Speaker 2: On January sixth, twenty twenty one, didn't seem to hurt
- 15:04Speaker 2: them electorally. Now, Jenny, the danger in that is that
- 15:10Speaker 2: is what happens when you run as Santa Claus. Yeah,
- 15:16Speaker 2: they arrest lots of people, but you know what they care.
- 15:19Speaker 2: They're arresting the people who are in the way of
- 15:21Speaker 2: them caring, and it's oh, it's corrupt judges that are
- 15:24Speaker 2: letting them free. That's the narrative. It's not true, but
- 15:28Speaker 2: it's the story they tell their robin Hood because they
- 15:36Speaker 2: hope that you've never actually read robin Hood and then
- 15:38Speaker 2: you would know that robin Hood was stealing from the
- 15:42Speaker 2: government and giving it back to the citizens. He was
- 15:49Speaker 2: fighting this Marxist government of elites that were all hanging
- 15:54Speaker 2: around King John giving their tax money back to the citizens.
- 16:04Speaker 2: It's a small little detail, Joe. It's like, you know
- 16:07Speaker 2: the difference between the Easter Bunny and Jesus's Resurrection. I mean,
- 16:11Speaker 2: you know, it's just it's a little It's all easter right. Anyway,
- 16:17Speaker 2: we were talking with Bob, Bob, thank you for hanging
- 16:20Speaker 2: on the line with this. Good for America is his podcast,
- 16:23Speaker 2: Good for America dot org is where you find it.
- 16:27Speaker 2: And we were talking about this caving in Mike Johnson
- 16:30Speaker 2: showing the principal leadership that everyone expected him to show
- 16:35Speaker 2: when John Thune came over, gave him that glare that
- 16:37Speaker 2: John Thune is becoming very famous for and said, what
- 16:41Speaker 2: do you mean You're not gonna do what we passed?
- 16:45Speaker 2: And Mike Johnson, I can only imagine, said.
- 16:48Speaker 10: No, no, you misunderstood.
- 16:50Speaker 2: We just wanted to Hamana.
- 16:52Speaker 6: What did jellybean?
- 16:54Speaker 2: Uh? And then came out on Wednesday and said, yeah,
- 16:56Speaker 2: we're gonna do it anyway. But it's not even about
- 16:59Speaker 2: the ice funding, as we were saying before the news,
- 17:01Speaker 2: it's about reforming ice. It's about changing ice and what
- 17:06Speaker 2: they are allowed to do as I see it, So
- 17:10Speaker 2: is that a key thing, Bob, is the idea that
- 17:14Speaker 2: it's not so much about the money ICE is getting,
- 17:17Speaker 2: it's what they're allowed to do as immigration and customs
- 17:22Speaker 2: enforcement officers. And that's the part. We don't know what
- 17:25Speaker 2: they're going to ask for.
- 17:27Speaker 20: Yes, at the bottom lines, Democrats don't want ICE and
- 17:30Speaker 20: Border Patrol to do their jobs. They want illegals to
- 17:32Speaker 20: be able to come into this country, they want illegals
- 17:34Speaker 20: to better stay in this country, and they want to
- 17:37Speaker 20: hamstring the ability of ICE in particular to do their
- 17:40Speaker 20: job in deporting illegals. They're trying to capitalize on the
- 17:44Speaker 20: fact that some Republicans have gotten weak on this, wobbly
- 17:47Speaker 20: on this because of some negative press coverage, because of
- 17:51Speaker 20: some things that happened with some ICE confrontations with with
- 17:55Speaker 20: some protesters.
- 17:56Speaker 2: Which we learned later. We're all set up anyway, so
- 17:59Speaker 2: you know, react. This is one of the things I
- 18:01Speaker 2: don't like about reactionaries, is we knee jerk reaction to
- 18:05Speaker 2: something and then when we find out later, oh, that's
- 18:08Speaker 2: not what was going on. It's just like Charlottesville in
- 18:11Speaker 2: twenty seventeen. Bob everyone's like, these are conservatives, and then
- 18:14Speaker 2: David Duke walks past me. I say, he's not a conservative,
- 18:18Speaker 2: you know, And so we jumped to these conclusions about things,
- 18:23Speaker 2: and then they're boxed into legislat I'm sorry, I just
- 18:27Speaker 2: you know, you're right. They did react to the shooting
- 18:31Speaker 2: in Minneapolis and that kind of thing, the death of
- 18:33Speaker 2: a protester, But then it turns out he was a
- 18:36Speaker 2: paid agitator. He had been there, he had already had
- 18:39Speaker 2: several confrontations with law enforcement officers, some of the ones
- 18:43Speaker 2: that were there. I mean, so there was so much
- 18:45Speaker 2: more in that story that could could have changed that viewpoint,
- 18:50Speaker 2: but they don't seem interested in that.
- 18:53Speaker 20: You're right that the truth doesn't fit the narrative. But Republicans,
- 18:58Speaker 20: President Trump in particular, and republic lookings in Congress, can't
- 19:01Speaker 20: back away from the stated policy the president to deport
- 19:05Speaker 20: all illegals who are here. It's a safety and security issue.
- 19:09Speaker 20: It is an economic issue. It is a jobs issue
- 19:13Speaker 20: for Americans. It's a health care health insurance issue. It's
- 19:16Speaker 20: a social services with welfare issue. It's an education issue
- 19:20Speaker 20: for our education system. It's America first, and Americans first
- 19:26Speaker 20: to deport illegals who are here. It is criminal to
- 19:29Speaker 20: be here illegally, and they ought not to go weak
- 19:31Speaker 20: and wildly on that. They ought to follow through. But
- 19:33Speaker 20: I fear that they're backing away from them.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Well, and then, you know, we'll just give them the
- 19:36Speaker 2: right to vote while they're here. That's what the battle
- 19:39Speaker 2: against the Save Act and Times ticket. We're watching the primaries,
- 19:43Speaker 2: even in states that have settled on where their congressional
- 19:47Speaker 2: districts are going to be, and we're watching the campaign begin.
- 19:52Speaker 2: You know, here in Virginia, we have you know, some
- 19:54Speaker 2: very you know, talented Democrats there. I disagree with them
- 19:58Speaker 2: on everything, but I don't disregard their ability to win
- 20:02Speaker 2: an election. And I feel like the frustration and I
- 20:06Speaker 2: feel guilty of it as well because I share the
- 20:08Speaker 2: stories as they happen with the listeners. But I feel
- 20:13Speaker 2: like all of this is Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer
- 20:17Speaker 2: setting up a narrative where half the Republicans stay home,
- 20:21Speaker 2: just like in the Virginia gubernatorial race last year.
- 20:25Speaker 20: I don't think Republicans have given voters a lot of
- 20:29Speaker 20: reason or incentive to vote for them, other than the
- 20:31Speaker 20: fact that they're not Democrats and the good news as
- 20:33Speaker 20: Republicans get to run against Democrats whose policies are terribly
- 20:37Speaker 20: unpopular and have been demonstrated to be failed, harmful policies. However,
- 20:41Speaker 20: you and I talked a lot last year. Twenty twenty
- 20:44Speaker 20: five was the year to go big, to go bold,
- 20:46Speaker 20: to go courageous on conservative policy and rolling back the
- 20:49Speaker 20: harm that was done by the Biden administration of Democrats
- 20:52Speaker 20: over the previous four years. They didn't do it again.
- 20:54Speaker 20: All they did was to extend and add to the
- 20:57Speaker 20: Trump tax cuts, which was important. That wasn't the end
- 21:00Speaker 20: all be all, and this is an election year. Who
- 21:03Speaker 20: knows what happened after November.
- 21:05Speaker 2: Well, I appreciate it. What's coming up this week on

- 24:12Speaker 11: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18Speaker 11: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22Speaker 11: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26Speaker 11: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31Speaker 11: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 11: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:42Speaker 11: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 24:45Speaker 11: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

- 28:14Speaker 7: the first thing today.
- 28:21Speaker 2: Yeah we're going next.
- 28:26Speaker 5: You know.
- 28:31Speaker 2: But it's really it's your fault because I have the
- 28:44Speaker 2: best writers in media. This email came in attached to
- 28:52Speaker 2: a previous edition of the program Listening to on podcast,
- 28:58Speaker 2: and I was compelled by the humor in it, the pith,
- 29:03Speaker 2: but the thought process that went into it, because I
- 29:06Speaker 2: definitely saw the wheels turning in there. Ben writes into
- 29:13Speaker 2: JT in the Morning Radio at gmail dot com, enjoying
- 29:16Speaker 2: your podcast. Don't know where I can pick up your station,
- 29:21Speaker 2: but I enjoy listening to your podcasts online. A thought
- 29:26Speaker 2: struck me after you were talking about the hot dog
- 29:31Speaker 2: flavored bourbon Joe, which, by the way, real quick, the
- 29:35Speaker 2: Costco hot hot dog flavored bourbon sold out before it
- 29:40Speaker 2: even got to the shelves. I'm just laying that out
- 29:45Speaker 2: as a little zeitgeist check there. So upon the news
- 29:51Speaker 2: that there was dollar fifty hot dog was it Kirkland
- 29:57Speaker 2: dollar fifty hot dog flavored bourbon for eighty six dollars
- 30:03Speaker 2: a bottle, It got bought up like crazy. But Ben's email,
- 30:11Speaker 2: I think goes on. He said, after hearing that story
- 30:14Speaker 2: and your concerns that we can't get treatments for COVID nineteen,
- 30:22Speaker 2: but we can get the FDA to fast track new
- 30:24Speaker 2: GLP one medications. So it was another story. I think
- 30:28Speaker 2: on the same day. I have to check my records. Yes,
- 30:31Speaker 2: we keep records. I don't prepare anything, but we keep
- 30:35Speaker 2: records of what we wind up talking about. How about
- 30:40Speaker 2: a GLP one infused bourbon. Do you think people would
- 30:46Speaker 2: buy that? Oh? Dude, you know, we would be the
- 30:49Speaker 2: skinniest country on the planet if you if you could
- 30:53Speaker 2: somehow come up with a way, and I think you
- 30:56Speaker 2: know you put Bobby Kennedy's face on the label. Call
- 31:00Speaker 2: it Maha bourbon. I understand you can get it through
- 31:06Speaker 2: what's the weight watchers? Weight watchers now instead of actually
- 31:10Speaker 2: having a plan for you to watch what you eat
- 31:13Speaker 2: and eat less, just gets you g l P one medications. There. Uh,
- 31:19Speaker 2: but that's brilliant. I mean, you want to talk about
- 31:22Speaker 2: building a better mouse trapt GIOE. Sealy and his hemp
- 31:26Speaker 2: farm we got, we got you, sus. Now we've got
- 31:30Speaker 2: g LP infused bourbon. And of course then you know,
- 31:34Speaker 2: once you've done that, it can be all the lines.
- 31:36Speaker 2: You know, g l P one infused tequila, g l
- 31:39Speaker 2: P one infused beer. Why not? I mean, you know
- 31:42Speaker 2: we have hemp beer. Why can't we have g LP
- 31:45Speaker 2: infused beer right right? Why not? You know, put g
- 31:51Speaker 2: l P one right in the mountain?
- 31:53Speaker 7: Do there?
- 31:54Speaker 6: You go?
- 31:54Speaker 2: You know where's this? So you can get your g
- 31:58Speaker 2: l P one while you're eating your moon part? And
- 32:01Speaker 2: and that's we kid, because we care satirized for your
- 32:07Speaker 2: pullpull Ben. I appreciate it, and thank you and keep
- 32:10Speaker 2: keep downloading the podcast. Tell me where you are. I
- 32:13Speaker 2: guess there's just this presumed presumption that radio guys know
- 32:17Speaker 2: where people are when they're downloading podcasts and stuff. Uh,
- 32:21Speaker 2: and we'll see if we can't get them ourselves. So
- 32:23Speaker 2: there's there's opportunities for us to expand the brand every
- 32:27Speaker 2: day as more people start to hear it. And once
- 32:31Speaker 2: you tell me or you are, I'm not, I'm not
- 32:34Speaker 2: beyond telling you the name and phone number of the
- 32:37Speaker 2: people who run the radio station in your town. Ben,
- 32:39Speaker 2: So just email JT in the Morning Radio at gmail
- 32:42Speaker 2: dot com, just like you did. I wanted to go
- 32:47Speaker 2: back to something Alan Dershowitz said earlier on in the program.
- 32:52Speaker 2: We were talking about Pam Bondy and so stick a
- 32:55Speaker 2: pin in that we have folks holler back at four
- 32:58Speaker 2: three four eight eight two four two one seven because
- 33:01Speaker 2: I am fixated on how the news of the day
- 33:04Speaker 2: is impacting you. I will take that call first, and
- 33:06Speaker 2: then we'll jump into what Alan Dershwood said about the
- 33:10Speaker 2: job of being Attorney General for the United States. Good morning,
- 33:13Speaker 2: You are on the air first thing this morning with Joe.
- 33:16Speaker 2: Who's this Hey, Joel? Good good. Joel sent me a
- 33:22Speaker 2: picture of him standing next to a cactus. They don't
- 33:24Speaker 2: get a lot of those in Florida, do you Joel, Joel,
- 33:31Speaker 2: where'd you go?
- 33:33Speaker 23: Oh?
- 33:33Speaker 6: I'm right here. Okay, you do get the you do
- 33:35Speaker 6: get the prickly cactus in Florida, the you know the one,
- 33:39Speaker 6: the flat ones they seem like and they grow in
- 33:42Speaker 6: Italy too, and the Mediterranean areas too. But I just
- 33:46Speaker 6: wanted to say this. There's two things. Number one, uh,
- 33:52Speaker 6: the biggest gift that God could have given.
- 34:00Speaker 2: I think I know where Joel was going, but he'd
- 34:02Speaker 2: cut out there. Joel, you were saying something about biggest
- 34:05Speaker 2: gifts God could have given us on this good Friday.
- 34:07Speaker 2: I imagine I know where you were going. But I'm
- 34:09Speaker 2: glad I got this.
- 34:10Speaker 6: Jesus is Jesus because he took all of our sins, everybody.
- 34:16Speaker 6: I mean, I'm so worried about trying to find a
- 34:19Speaker 6: job because my background, not that I hurt anybody, but
- 34:22Speaker 6: just you know, losing my jobs and then but I'm
- 34:26Speaker 6: praying if we truly believe things are going to get
- 34:29Speaker 6: better and no matter what happens, and I'm here and
- 34:33Speaker 6: people are helping me, just all kinds of different ways,
- 34:36Speaker 6: and where you're all praying, but that's not about me.
- 34:39Speaker 6: But we all have to pray for each other. In
- 34:41Speaker 6: this country too.
- 34:42Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 34:42Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's about individuals. And this is why I said.
- 34:48Speaker 2: I was interviewed by a trade magazine. I think they
- 34:50Speaker 2: published the story today, but I said, you know, it
- 34:53Speaker 2: is about who you know, and so in America you
- 34:57Speaker 2: are allowed to go know better people. If your life
- 35:01Speaker 2: is in a position where the people you know aren't
- 35:04Speaker 2: helping you, they're hurting you, then go know better people.
- 35:08Speaker 2: And that's yea. It is who you know as much
- 35:10Speaker 2: as it is what you know. And that's not an
- 35:13Speaker 2: unfair or slight against society. But you just got to
- 35:16Speaker 2: go get out there and no good people.
- 35:19Speaker 6: I heard something great. There's a pastor. He's in Jacksonville's
- 35:23Speaker 6: name is Pastor Jobie Martin. He has a church called.
- 35:29Speaker 2: Joel. We didn't get the name of the church. Joel.
- 35:33Speaker 6: I'm here, I'm here.
- 35:35Speaker 2: We didn't get the name of the church, Joby Martin.
- 35:38Speaker 6: It's called the Church of eleven twenty two. It's in Jacksonville.
- 35:41Speaker 6: But he's building he's already had sixteen different churches built,
- 35:44Speaker 6: twenty for actually forty churches, and twenty of them for
- 35:49Speaker 6: prison ministries. And he said, he said the biggest thing
- 35:54Speaker 6: that he wants people to know, and you can watch
- 35:57Speaker 6: him on Facebook too. But the biggest thing he wants
- 36:00Speaker 6: people to know is there's always a space. And and
- 36:04Speaker 6: for the people that want to keep their seat and
- 36:05Speaker 6: think it's there, it's not. It's not your space, it's
- 36:09Speaker 6: everybody's space. So well said, and he said, the paralytic
- 36:14Speaker 6: that Jesus took care of you was on a mat.
- 36:17Speaker 6: And he said, how many people are gonna are gonna
- 36:20Speaker 6: think about that mat that that the paralytic was on
- 36:23Speaker 6: that he that he cured. And Jesus said that, you know,
- 36:26Speaker 6: don't don't don't worry about the mat or you know,
- 36:29Speaker 6: think about think about moving ahead and and and and
- 36:35Speaker 6: and being you know, you're being part of life. And
- 36:39Speaker 6: how many people are going to give up their life
- 36:41Speaker 6: for somebody else? I mean, how many people on your
- 36:43Speaker 6: hand can say that that would do that for you? You know?
- 36:47Speaker 2: Well, it's it is what I said at the onset
- 36:49Speaker 2: of the program. This this weekend is about sacrifice and
- 36:54Speaker 2: it's and it's about what are you willing to sacrifice
- 36:58Speaker 2: for for the betterment and for the betterment of yourself.
- 37:02Speaker 2: And that's the thing is that we wear chains as
- 37:07Speaker 2: we collect them. I mean, if somebody came along and
- 37:10Speaker 2: put the kind of chains on you that you wind
- 37:12Speaker 2: up with all at once. You'd fight it back. But
- 37:16Speaker 2: like the metaphorical frog, we put a link of chain
- 37:20Speaker 2: on here, and put a link and chain on there,
- 37:22Speaker 2: and put a link and chain on there, and none
- 37:25Speaker 2: individually adds all that much. So, as Jefferson said in
- 37:30Speaker 2: the Declaration of Independence, we endure these abuses and usurpations
- 37:36Speaker 2: as long as they're endurable. And each little one is like, oh,
- 37:40Speaker 2: that's no big deal, all right, So I can't go
- 37:42Speaker 2: on YouTube before we are right, yeah, all right, So
- 37:45Speaker 2: I can't say what I want, you know, on the
- 37:49Speaker 2: Facebook or whatever. You know, these little usurpations, and then
- 37:54Speaker 2: all of a sudden we realize how big the chains
- 37:56Speaker 2: are that we're carrying, and how burdensome they've become.
- 38:02Speaker 11: In a study, it was found that thirty three percent
- 38:05Speaker 11: of forty four herbal supplements had no trace of the

- 44:10Speaker 7: Business question for you from Joe Thomas.
- 44:16Speaker 2: It's first thing today.
- 44:17Speaker 28: In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by
- 44:20Speaker 28: two separate and equally important groups, the police who investigate
- 44:24Speaker 28: crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders.
- 44:27Speaker 2: These are their stories. So Alan Dershowitz was talking about
- 44:34Speaker 2: the Attorney General yesterday and I want to qualify. So
- 44:39Speaker 2: we were talking about the establishment of what the Attorney
- 44:42Speaker 2: General is about, and we were talking about it in
- 44:47Speaker 2: terms of the founding of our nation. There are documents
- 44:50Speaker 2: that are not constitutions or not part of the constitution,
- 44:54Speaker 2: that are part of the foundation of the country. And
- 44:58Speaker 2: it it's an interesting because FDR kind of went after
- 45:03Speaker 2: the was it the Judiciary Act of seventeen eighty and
- 45:06Speaker 2: I say, it's just an act, you know, repeal it,
- 45:09Speaker 2: repeal it. It's just a law. It's constant. But Alan
- 45:15Speaker 2: Dershowitz was talking on Newsmax about Pam Bondi's ouster as
- 45:20Speaker 2: Attorney General.
- 45:22Speaker 5: I think America loses by not having Pam Bondy, but
- 45:25Speaker 5: the other people who are now thought of as possible replacements.
- 45:28Speaker 5: I know them as well. They are good people, and
- 45:31Speaker 5: I pity them because the Attorney general is the worst
- 45:34Speaker 5: job in the world. I don't know why anybody would
- 45:37Speaker 5: possibly ever take that job. It's a schizophrenic job. Nobody
- 45:41Speaker 5: can perform it because the president.
- 45:44Speaker 2: Thinks the job is to be loyal to the president.
- 45:47Speaker 2: That's what the White House Counsel's Office is for.
- 45:50Speaker 5: The tradition is to be loyal to the rule of
- 45:52Speaker 5: law and not to.
- 45:53Speaker 2: Take advice, and that's not what the Attorney General's office
- 45:58Speaker 2: was set up for. But let me finish with Alan.
- 46:00Speaker 5: Your previous guest says, I've written of ath this now
- 46:02Speaker 5: for twenty years. There should be two jobs run the
- 46:04Speaker 5: Minister of Justice, who's a cabinet member whose job it
- 46:08Speaker 5: is to help the president, and the other the Director
- 46:10Speaker 5: of Public Prosecution, whose job it is to be completely separate,
- 46:14Speaker 5: not to take any orders from the president.
- 46:17Speaker 2: So let's let's unpack that a little bit there, because
- 46:20Speaker 2: he's not. I wouldn't have done it that way because
- 46:23Speaker 2: the founders and many of them still around in seventeen
- 46:27Speaker 2: eighty nine, the country hadn't even been around for a year.
- 46:32Speaker 2: And they said, you know, we probably need a better
- 46:37Speaker 2: definition than the Constitution's definition of the judicial branch. And
- 46:43Speaker 2: Article three where it establishes the fact that there would
- 46:46Speaker 2: be a Supreme Court, but didn't really flesh it out.
- 46:51Speaker 2: And if you if you want four contacts before the
- 46:54Speaker 2: hater's got a hate, you know, well, you know what
- 46:58Speaker 2: the Article three says regarding it creating the concept of
- 47:08Speaker 2: a federal judiciary, vesting the judicial authority in a Supreme Court,
- 47:15Speaker 2: allowing Congress to establish inferior courts as needed, as what
- 47:20Speaker 2: the Judiciary Act of seventeen eighty nine did. The framework
- 47:25Speaker 2: was designed to address the lack of national court system
- 47:29Speaker 2: under the Articles of Confederation. One of the things that
- 47:31Speaker 2: was tearing apart the country after winning our independence was
- 47:35Speaker 2: the fact that you could be charged for a crime
- 47:37Speaker 2: in South Carolina that isn't a crime in Virginia, and
- 47:41Speaker 2: that was trying to kind of codify that, but it
- 47:49Speaker 2: was still vague. It codified treason, some of those things.
- 47:56Speaker 2: It was built off of Montesque as an abstract. But anyways,
- 48:00Speaker 2: by seventeen eighty nine, the inc is barely dry on
- 48:03Speaker 2: the Constitution and the Congress passes the Judiciary Act of
- 48:11Speaker 2: seventeen eighty nine, which establishes how the Supreme Court is
- 48:18Speaker 2: going to work. You know how many people are on it,
- 48:22Speaker 2: and how many district courts establishing thirteen district courts. The
- 48:32Speaker 2: anti federalists, which I think Jefferson and some of those
- 48:37Speaker 2: folks were, feared the strong federal judiciary would become a
- 48:41Speaker 2: tool of national tyranny. So one of the debates in
- 48:50Speaker 2: building this was to make sure that there were checks
- 48:52Speaker 2: and balances within this law on the judiciary branch, appellate rights,
- 48:59Speaker 2: and what the restrictions were on a supreme on the
- 49:03Speaker 2: Supreme Court. But it also establishes the attorney General, defines
- 49:13Speaker 2: the office of Attorney General of the United States as
- 49:15Speaker 2: a position responsible for representing the United States in legal matters.
- 49:20Speaker 2: Dershowitz is right before the Supreme Court and other federal courts. Therefore,
- 49:26Speaker 2: it is so if something happened in the United States,
- 49:30Speaker 2: it was the Attorney General's job to bring it to
- 49:32Speaker 2: the Supreme Court. It didn't have to wait for it
- 49:35Speaker 2: to come up through the appellate system to get to
- 49:38Speaker 2: the Supreme Court. The Attorney General could walk in, just
- 49:41Speaker 2: like Jack McCoy in Law and Order and say your honor,
- 49:44Speaker 2: I want a hearing on this. The office was designed
- 49:51Speaker 2: to argue on behalf of the United States in cases
- 49:54Speaker 2: before the Supreme Court, and to act as an overseer
- 49:59Speaker 2: of congressional actions as an advice and consent role regarding
- 50:07Speaker 2: the constitutionality of proposed legislation. Notice something you don't hear
- 50:14Speaker 2: and there nowhere is it referred to as the nation's
- 50:19Speaker 2: top cop. The whole law enforcement angle of it develops
- 50:26Speaker 2: through some of the Wild West, some of the behaviors,
- 50:30Speaker 2: the robberies and that, but then really becomes big during
- 50:33Speaker 2: Prohibition when the Federal Bureau of Investigation is used to
- 50:38Speaker 2: go after the bootleggers who were selling stuff in Kentucky
- 50:43Speaker 2: where it might have been legal but it was made
- 50:44Speaker 2: in Virginia where it wasn't and the FBI as a
- 50:50Speaker 2: tool of interstate commerce and the interstate commerce regulation. It is,
- 50:57Speaker 2: while at one point certainly there to look for people
- 51:01Speaker 2: who are kidnapping, murder, robbery, what has wound up happening
- 51:11Speaker 2: more frequently than not read Harvey silver Glade's book Three
- 51:17Speaker 2: Felonies a Day, is it's become more of an arbiter
- 51:23Speaker 2: of the the interstate commerce regulations so if you break
- 51:38Speaker 2: a regulation, you can find yourself in front of the FBI.
- 51:43Speaker 2: And remember all of these branches of the President's cabinet
- 51:46Speaker 2: have what are called internal courts, their administrative courts that
- 51:54Speaker 2: don't fall under the jurisdiction of the Bill of Rights.
- 51:57Speaker 2: You don't have a Fifth Amendment p K in an
- 52:00Speaker 2: administrative court places things like that. So you have to
- 52:13Speaker 2: realize that it looks like a courtroom, feels like a courtroom,
- 52:18Speaker 2: but you don't have the same rights that you had beforehand,
- 52:23Speaker 2: you know, or that you would imagine that you had
- 52:26Speaker 2: come walking into a regular courtroom there. So just to
- 52:31Speaker 2: do what you can, but understand the realities. Happy good Friday.
- 52:46Speaker 2: I'm Joe Thomas, so long and thanks for all the salvation.
- 52:51Speaker 27: My name is Bobby.
- 52:52Speaker 23: I'm a veteran and lost my leg to a roadside bomb.

- 52:58Speaker 23: weightlifting champion.
- 53:00Speaker 26: I'm Sam, I'm a veteran.
- 53:02Speaker 15: My victory was finding a career I can be proud
- 53:04Speaker 15: of and supporting my family.
- 53:06Speaker 17: America's veterans are on their most important tour, the tour
- 53:09Speaker 17: of their lives.
- 53:10Speaker 7: I'm a veteran. My victory was going from homeless toll.

- 53:18Speaker 17: the benefits they've earned.
- 53:19Speaker 21: I'm a veteran, and my victory was finishing my education.
