• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Joe works at a steel mill, he's damn near every day.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Leaves for work when the sun comes up, drops the
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: kids to school and all the work. Joe has everything
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: he dreamed of, all the treasures that he needs.
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: No wonder Joe's always.
• 0:28
  Speaker 5: Smiling, he only.
• 0:30
  Speaker 6: Aims to please you.
• 0:33
  Speaker 7: Thank you for letting me be of service to you. 434-882-4217.
• 0:45
  Speaker 7: That's a multitasker right there. You can join us and
• 0:48
  Speaker 7: tell us how the news of the day is impacting
• 0:52
  Speaker 7: you where you are. If you only get a few
• 0:55
  Speaker 7: hours of the program, like our friends on WGOW-AM out
• 1:01
  Speaker 7: of Chattanooga, Or was that 1150 a.m.? I always remember
• 1:06
  Speaker 7: that number because my dad grew up when I was
• 1:08
  Speaker 7: growing up. My dad listened to a standard station, big
• 1:13
  Speaker 7: bands and Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett. And it was
• 1:16
  Speaker 7: on 1150 in my hometown there, wherever you are. If
• 1:20
  Speaker 7: you only get a few hours of the program and
• 1:22
  Speaker 7: we do this for four consecutive hours every morning, starting
• 1:26
  Speaker 7: at five Eastern time. go to the podcast channel. Later
• 1:30
  Speaker 7: on today, we'll have today's program up there in full
• 1:33
  Speaker 7: song so you can catch up on other stuff that's
• 1:36
  Speaker 7: been going on out there this morning. The craziness in
• 1:40
  Speaker 7: Paris has died down, but not the repercussions as the
• 1:44
  Speaker 7: spin continues. Now, you know, it's about the economy, stupid.
• 1:50
  Speaker 7: While Emmanuel Macron out there, and this is the fun,
• 1:54
  Speaker 7: watch the self-immolation in order to avoid what's actually happening.
• 2:01
  Speaker 7: Macron and his government will take the heat for the
• 2:05
  Speaker 7: economy rather than actually take the heat for the Islamists
• 2:10
  Speaker 7: that were carrying out a little mini caliphate warm-up act.
• 2:15
  Speaker 7: It's just like the case here of the trans coach,
• 2:20
  Speaker 7: the trans recruiter in one of our local elementary schools
• 2:25
  Speaker 7: that was sexually molesting little girls. who were told by
• 2:29
  Speaker 7: their teachers, who were told by their parents, go see Mr.
• 2:33
  Speaker 7: Sweeney and tell him about how you feel about sex. And,
• 2:39
  Speaker 7: I mean, you can be as absurd as you want
• 2:42
  Speaker 7: about that thought and why teachers and administrators are already
• 2:50
  Speaker 7: under arrest for so that maybe you don't notice the
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: cover-your-ass circle of the wagons that they're covering their tracks in.
• 3:01
  Speaker 7: But that continues, and it's probably going to bring down
• 3:06
  Speaker 7: almost an entire school division. There was a time when
• 3:09
  Speaker 7: we thought maybe the Albemarle School Division should absorb Charlottesville City.
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: It may wind up being the other way around there.
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: But our first things for you as you dine and
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: dance with us This morning, Treasury Department has found another
• 3:25
  Speaker 7: $ 270 million in what they call suspicious financial activity. No
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: leering center at the core of this one, but it's
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: linked to federal student aid fraud. So maybe a university
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: near you is guilty of it. Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: Network analysts identified more than 20,000 potentially suspicious transactions dating
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: back to February. Remember that number, 20,000? That's how many
• 3:58
  Speaker 7: unregistered citizens are registered to vote in California, or at
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: least that's what the federal government has said in a
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: lawsuit filed in joining the Republic of California from counting
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: its ballots in two weeks' time until the Federal Department
• 4:16
  Speaker 7: of Immigration and Customs Enforcement can match citizenship records to
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: all 20,000 of those accused of being on the voter
• 4:26
  Speaker 7: rolls illegally. Paris police issued an overnight curfew for the rioters.
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: And of course, why didn't they think of that before? Oh,
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: that's right, because rioters break the law anyway. But it
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: was a quiet overnight in Paris in the government and
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: shopping districts. President Trump at a campaign event yesterday in
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: Kansas announced that the federal government has an $ 8 billion
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: treasure chest ready to help farmers. It's called the Department
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: of Agriculture's Harvest Fuel Relief Program for farmers that are
• 5:09
  Speaker 7: paying high prices for diesel. The Department of Justice in
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: California has also warned election officials, should have had this
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: one with the other one, that if you participate in
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: taking illegal votes, they could face charges as well. Legal
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: consequences for either facilitating or ignoring a federal crime are significant,
• 5:40
  Speaker 7: the Department of Justice warned yesterday. And those are some
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: of our first things this morning. Now we may discuss
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: as we gather at 434-882-4217 here all along the talk
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: media network.
• 6:06
  Speaker 8: Hi, this is Bud Foster, co-host of Foster and Friends
• 6:10
  Speaker 8: and former Virginia Tech football coach. When I brought the
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: famed lunch pail to our team, it symbolized teamwork. The
• 6:15
  Speaker 8: word win stood for what's important now. The Lunch Pail
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: Defense Foundation realizes the importance of helping others. Our foundation
• 6:23
  Speaker 8: is a nonprofit corporation that helps fund academic scholarship for
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: eligible high school students. Since 2009, the Lunch Pail Defense
• 6:31
  Speaker 8: Foundation has raised $ 1, 000. nearly $ 400, 000 and awarded over 40
• 6:36
  Speaker 8: individual scholarships. We also support an organ transplant program in
• 6:40
  Speaker 8: conjunction with Duke University Medical Center. For information regarding corporate
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: sponsorship or becoming an individual supporter, log on to our
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: site at lunchpaledefense.com. It's always been important to win, especially
• 6:54
  Speaker 8: when we're helping others.
• 7:01
  Speaker 9: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 7:05
  Speaker 9: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 7:07
  Speaker 10: It was MediShare that came through for us, and there
• 7:10
  Speaker 10: was no hassle.
• 7:11
  Speaker 11: There was no problem.
• 7:12
  Speaker 9: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
• 7:15
  Speaker 9: of such an incredible ministry.
• 7:17
  Speaker 12: MediShare is a biblical approach to health care where Christians
• 7:21
  Speaker 12: share each other's medical expenses.
• 7:23
  Speaker 13: MediShare is a family, a group of people that stick
• 7:27
  Speaker 13: with you through the hardest times of your life.
• 7:30
  Speaker 12: MediShare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over 30 years old.
• 7:35
  Speaker 12: And members have shared over $ 8 billion of each other's
• 7:38
  Speaker 12: medical bills.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
• 7:41
  Speaker 11: You can focus on supporting other people.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: MediShare is affordable.
• 7:45
  Speaker 12: MediShare is biblical.
• 7:46
  Speaker 14: MediShare is family.
• 7:47
  Speaker 12: Join thousands of Christians who can help you save on
• 7:50
  Speaker 12: your health care and support your family when you need it.

  Speaker 12: That's 855-SHARE-40.
• 8:04
  Speaker 15: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 15: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 15: I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 15: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 15: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 15: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:32
  Speaker 15: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:37
  Speaker 15: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer,
• 8:43
  Speaker 15: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
• 8:46
  Speaker 15: many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy
• 8:51
  Speaker 15: cells even from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to
• 8:57
  Speaker 15: look good, feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
• 9:02
  Speaker 16: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 16: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 16: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 16: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:17
  Speaker 16: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 16: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 16: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 16: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 16: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:37
  Speaker 16: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 16: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 16: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 16: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 9: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: but because of their acute senses, they also perform lifesaving
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: trained roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
• 10:59
  Speaker 12: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 17: Oh, yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 18: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 12: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 19: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 18: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 19: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 13: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:23
  Speaker 13: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:29
  Speaker 20: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 20: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 20: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:39
  Speaker 20: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 20: energy assessment. Your utility company can help. Or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 20: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 11:51
  Speaker 20: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors.
• 11:54
  Speaker 20: Check ducts for holes and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:58
  Speaker 20: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:00
  Speaker 20: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 12:04
  Speaker 20: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:08
  Speaker 20: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 12:11
  Speaker 20: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 12:14
  Speaker 20: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
• 12:18

  Speaker 20: A tip from the Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer
• 12:27
  Speaker 20: protection agency.
• 12:29
  Speaker 21: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 21: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 21: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:40
  Speaker 21: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 12:44
  Speaker 21: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
• 12:49
  Speaker 21: at MakeTheConnection.net and learn how you can support the veterans
• 12:53
  Speaker 21: in your life. Treatment works. Recovery is possible.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Is this on?
• 13:22
  Speaker 18: Mr. Green, did you turn on my microphone?
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: You asked for me if you would.
• 13:26
  Speaker 8: I am paying for this microphone, Mr.
• 13:31
  Speaker 18: Green.
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: So you see, it's not a new thing. And I've
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: said before, and I do this because the same way
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: a parent would say to a child, did you do
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: the best you could? Did you try the best you could?
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: I was watching a Matthew McConaughey interview. I think he's
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: got a new movie out of this. He's all over
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: the place. He was talking about his dad, and his dad,
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: you know, it would get mad at him if he said,
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: I can't or it won't work. He said, no, you're
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: having trouble. You've just not figured it out yet. And
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: he would go and then figure it out for him,
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: you know, get some lawnmower running or something, and he
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: would say, you just haven't figured it out yet. And
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: so when I criticize... political parties. It's because I want
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: them to do better or I want them to go
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: away and new ones come about. I want Americans to
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: stop being gaslit into the idea that there are a
• 14:32
  Speaker 7: fourth and fifth branch of government being Republicans and Democrats.
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: Donald Trump ran on the idea of being able to
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: get Democrats and Republicans to agree on things and then
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: moving forward with them. That hasn't really been the case.
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: And I don't think it has been the case in
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: the Democratic Party since Barack Obama took over. Because the
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: Democrats thought Barack Obama would help them get rid of
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: the Clintons. What Barack Obama did was bring in the socialists,
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: the Valerie Jarretts of the world. So the Republicans have
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: now become the big empty tent party. But this has
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: been going on, the clip of Ronald Reagan. That is
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: from a Republican Party debate in, I believe it was
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: New Hampshire or Vermont, where he was debating against George
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: Herbert Walker Bush. That was not Reagan battling Jimmy Carter
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: for the nomination. And so when I report on things
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: like this, it's not because I want to, help Republicans
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: lose in the midterms, but I'll be accused of it.
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: It's because I want the Republican Party to get its
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: head out of its ass, not because I care about
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: the party as much as I care about the fact
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: that it is the only place politically that I can
• 15:58
  Speaker 7: find conservative-minded constitutionalists. If you come up with another party
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: that can do that, this is why I want to
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: get rid of the 1929 Permanent Reapportionment Act, maybe we'd
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: have some different parties in different areas. And maybe the
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: Republicans in some areas would be different than others. But
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: Republican on Republican crime is ramping up. CNN, of course,
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: with their own agendas, reporting on internal squabbling over insider
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: trading and data centers. Kentucky, Wisconsin, Arkansas, Virginia, all with
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: internal squabbles, all trying to go around and campaign for
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: people or campaign voters not to vote for Republicans in
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: some strange idea that the Democrat that would wind up
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: getting elected by default would somehow be a lesson to
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: be learned. Did we not learn anything in 2008 when
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: we sent, quote, a message? Or 2012 when we, quote,
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: sent a message. Pardon me, 2014 was when we sent
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: a message to the Tea Party Republicans who didn't do
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: what they promised to do. And we got worse Obamacare
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: and we got worse cap and trade schemes. But we
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: need to get better. We need to stop this idea. Sure,
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: everyone wants to win their elections. Joining us is a
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: party chair. She's seen it all. She's one of the
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: biggest Trump supporters I know. Her name is Ramona Christian. Ramona,
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: how are you doing, my dear?
• 17:42
  Speaker 18: Doing well today.
• 17:43
  Speaker 22: Doing well.
• 17:44
  Speaker 18: Looking forward to the next two weeks and keeping the
• 17:47
  Speaker 18: House and keeping the Senate so the president can get
• 17:51
  Speaker 18: his agenda enacted.
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: Now, you are a chief of staff for a congressman,
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: and I want to get into what is happening within
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: the political party apparatus as Republicans are campaigning against other Republicans.
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: And it's just baffling to me that they say they
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: want to be a big tent party, but it's starting
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: to become more and more apparent to me they want
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: it to be a big empty tent party. How do
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: we fix this? Because I feel like this is all
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: because Donald Trump stole the nomination from the other 13, whoever,
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: Jeb or whatever. How do we fix this from where
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: you've been sitting? You've seen it. You've run campaigns. Now
• 18:38
  Speaker 7: you're running a congressional office. How do we fix this?
• 18:43
  Speaker 18: Well, I think to fix this, we're going to have
• 18:46
  Speaker 18: to put the right people in the right places. Because unfortunately,
• 18:51
  Speaker 18: in our Republican Party in the 5th District, there are
• 18:55
  Speaker 18: people in power that live on revenge and vengeance instead
• 19:02
  Speaker 18: of unity. And it's usually the people that made money
• 19:06
  Speaker 18: off of the previous candidates. And so if you have
• 19:10
  Speaker 18: not supported their candidate or... Let's say our candidate beat
• 19:14
  Speaker 18: their candidate. Well, now you've affected their money and their lifeline.
• 19:19
  Speaker 18: And so it's vengeance for them. It's not about what's
• 19:23
  Speaker 18: best for the party or best for the country.
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: Now, it sounds like you're talking about consultants more than candidates.
• 19:29
  Speaker 7: And I know that that's been a complaint here in
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: our flagship state of Virginia is that the political party
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: has too many consultants in its internal directorate. Is that
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: something that needs to change?
• 19:44
  Speaker 18: I do think that sometimes that can be a problem
• 19:47
  Speaker 18: when those people hold a vote for an entire county
• 19:53
  Speaker 18: or entire district and they can't seem to separate their
• 20:00
  Speaker 18: financial status from what our state needs. Now, not everyone
• 20:04
  Speaker 18: in the Republican Party is that way. There are a
• 20:07
  Speaker 18: lot of consultants that love our country, and do what's
• 20:11
  Speaker 18: right for our state. And those are the people that
• 20:13
  Speaker 18: we need to put in there because this selfishness and
• 20:17
  Speaker 18: this need for revenge are hurting our children and our grandchildren.
• 20:22
  Speaker 18: If we lose the House this time, we're going to
• 20:26
  Speaker 18: have Speaker Hakeem Jeffries. It is going to be horrible.
• 20:30
  Speaker 18: Our country is going to grind to a halt because
• 20:33
  Speaker 18: Trump's going to veto anything they want to do. It's
• 20:36
  Speaker 18: going to be constant impeachment, constant fighting. Nothing gets accomplished.
• 20:42
  Speaker 18: So we're going to be stuck in limbo for two years.
• 20:47
  Speaker 18: My point is the president has, in my opinion, kept
• 20:53
  Speaker 18: around 17 out of his 20 campaign promises. But just
• 20:57
  Speaker 18: because you're mad at him, I agree with you. You
• 21:00
  Speaker 18: can't vote against the people that are going to help
• 21:03
  Speaker 18: him to teach him a lesson. because he's still going
• 21:05
  Speaker 18: to be in there for two years. The person you're
• 21:08
  Speaker 18: hurting is your family and your children and your grandchildren,
• 21:12
  Speaker 18: because your country is going to grind to a halt
• 21:15
  Speaker 18: for two years to try to teach your congressman or
• 21:18
  Speaker 18: your senator or your president a lesson. And in the end,
• 21:23
  Speaker 18: you're hurting yourself and your family.
• 21:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that doesn't seem to be very logical. It's one
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: of the, you know, in an abstract, in a perfect world,
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: there'd be places for everyone If you didn't like Donald Trump,
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: then you could go find a party where Donald Trump
• 21:37
  Speaker 7: wasn't the candidate and you could go work for them
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: there rather than just trying to tear down a party
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: that chose to listen to the message of Donald Trump.
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: And you can have debates about spending, about Iran, data centers.
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: I've had them all. Believe me, Ramona, because I'm grounded,
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: I can have these debates, honestly.

  Speaker 23: Hi, I'm Dr. Sandra Fay, President of the American Veterinary
• 23:05
  Speaker 23: Medical Association. With record heat, wildfires and hurricanes forecast this summer,
• 23:10
  Speaker 23: how do we keep our pets safe? No matter where
• 23:13
  Speaker 23: we live, the potential for natural or manmade disasters is
• 23:17
  Speaker 23: a possibility. So preparation is key. First, make sure to
• 23:22
  Speaker 23: have an evacuation plan mapped out in advance. Know where
• 23:25
  Speaker 23: you're going to go and how you're going to get there. Next,
• 23:29
  Speaker 23: Put together a pet emergency kit with several days food, medicine,
• 23:34
  Speaker 23: a first aid kit, and other essential items. Make sure
• 23:37
  Speaker 23: your pets are microchipped with updated contact information in case
• 23:41
  Speaker 23: you get separated. And be sure to have your pet's
• 23:44
  Speaker 23: vaccination and medical records plus contact info for your vet
• 23:48
  Speaker 23: and pharmacy. If you need help on how to prepare,
• 23:51

  Speaker 15: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 15: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 15: I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 24:18
  Speaker 15: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 24:22
  Speaker 15: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 24:26
  Speaker 15: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 24:31
  Speaker 15: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 24:36
  Speaker 15: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer,
• 24:43
  Speaker 15: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
• 24:45
  Speaker 15: many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy
• 24:51
  Speaker 15: cells even from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to

  Speaker 12: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 25:56
  Speaker 13: Oh, yeah?
• 25:57
  Speaker 18: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 25:59
  Speaker 12: And now a speech.
• 26:02
  Speaker 9: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 26:06
  Speaker 7: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: somebody call me a ride.
• 26:15
  Speaker 18: Love that guy.
• 26:16
  Speaker 19: Me too.

  Speaker 13: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 26:19
  Speaker 13: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 26:23
  Speaker 20: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 26:26
  Speaker 20: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 26:30
  Speaker 20: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 20: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:37
  Speaker 20: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 26:40
  Speaker 20: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 26:46
  Speaker 20: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 26:49
  Speaker 20: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 26:53
  Speaker 20: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 26:55
  Speaker 20: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 26:59
  Speaker 20: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 27:02
  Speaker 20: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 27:05
  Speaker 20: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 27:09
  Speaker 20: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: Tom drops bombs. He had to run off and take
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: care of some media celebrity business business. You know, being
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: a hit on YouTube and Instagram and all those places, Instacart,
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: that's the closest I ever come to that kind of notoriety.
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: I think I'm pretty big on Instacart. But Tom, I
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: think you had one other point you were making about
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: the left and how they have tried to both let
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: them eat cake and bake it too.
• 29:10
  Speaker 11: Yeah, the fourth thing was that we had legislation that
• 29:14
  Speaker 11: would address the concerns with regard to data centers that
• 29:17
  Speaker 11: we wanted to bring up, and they like to yell
• 29:18
  Speaker 11: and scream about the data centers while they're cashing the check.
• 29:21
  Speaker 11: Loudoun County alone has knocked down something like $ 15 billion
• 29:25
  Speaker 11: just in county revenue in the last five or six years,
• 29:28
  Speaker 11: and they're going to throw a massive power line, the largest,
• 29:30
  Speaker 11: I think, on the East Coast right across rural Virginia.
• 29:34
  Speaker 11: God forbid Loudoun should produce their own electricity for the
• 29:37
  Speaker 11: money that they're bringing in.
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: Well, but that power line is only there because of
• 29:41
  Speaker 7: the clean Virginia, we want to be like California suicide
• 29:45
  Speaker 7: pact that we signed with Gavin Newsom. That's the only
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: reason they need that power line, because now we have...
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: You want to talk about a cap on cap and trade.
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: The cap is you can't produce your own energy. We've shuttered,
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: I think it's three.
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: Power plants for no other good reason than the legislature
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: decided that we had to. And, you know, I mean,
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: we're committing economic suicide, Tom, and we're blaming data centers.
• 30:15
  Speaker 11: Yeah, these guys aren't experts in having their time matched
• 30:17
  Speaker 11: for sure, let alone energy policy.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: And so.
• 30:21
  Speaker 11: But they know best. And again, what they're doing literally
• 30:24
  Speaker 11: is robbing from working class people to give money to
• 30:27
  Speaker 11: the people who are already wealthy. We have a tax
• 30:29
  Speaker 11: now where people in rural areas go shopping in suburbs
• 30:33
  Speaker 11: and urban areas and pay taxes to build schools in
• 30:35
  Speaker 11: suburbs and urban areas. And none of it comes back
• 30:38
  Speaker 11: to the rural areas. You cannot make this stuff up. Right.
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: Exactly.
• 30:41
  Speaker 11: Robbing from the poor to give to the rich while
• 30:43
  Speaker 11: screaming about how much they care about the poor. Of course.
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: But that's always the game. That's what the cap and
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: trade was about in the first place. was making you
• 30:51
  Speaker 7: pay more for electricity so you'll use less of it.
• 30:55
  Speaker 7: And what will happen is if you start using less
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: of it, Well, that was the excuse. That was the
• 31:00
  Speaker 7: sales pitch. That was the excuse.
• 31:02
  Speaker 11: But what it was about was about monetizing a new
• 31:05
  Speaker 11: marketplace so that you could trade in a commodity, a
• 31:08
  Speaker 11: fictional commodity, no less, but only if you had a
• 31:11
  Speaker 11: billion dollars, a billion with a B to invest. I mean,
• 31:15
  Speaker 11: rich people can't even invest in Gavin Drake. We're talking
• 31:17
  Speaker 11: about Soros. We're talking about Tom Sire and Bill and
• 31:21
  Speaker 11: Melinda Gates levels. If they've created a false commodity, capitalized
• 31:25
  Speaker 11: with working people's income.
• 31:27
  Speaker 11: On a necessity, right? Electricity for heating and cooling our house.
• 31:32
  Speaker 11: And done it to help us, right? Oh, we're saving
• 31:34
  Speaker 11: the planet based on bad science. I mean, it's– and
• 31:38
  Speaker 11: people don't get it. The very people who are cheering
• 31:41
  Speaker 11: this policy along are the people who say that they're
• 31:44
  Speaker 11: railing against the ultra-rich while lining the pockets of the ultra-rich.
• 31:48
  Speaker 11: It's flipping genius in an evil way.
• 31:51
  Speaker 7: Well, we had a caller earlier talking about Animal Farm.
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: And I look at the creative retellings of Animal Farm
• 31:59
  Speaker 7: every time another leftist decides, hey, let's tell Animal Farm
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: and make it look like it was a heroic event
• 32:07
  Speaker 7: and not a cautionary tale. But, you know, this is
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: what they do every time they turn around. I hate
• 32:13
  Speaker 7: to make it sound like they're stuck in a rut,
• 32:17
  Speaker 7: stuck in a rut, stuck in a rut. But if
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: they say they want to do something, it's almost a
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: guarantee now, Tom, they want to do the opposite. Right.
• 32:28
  Speaker 11: And, I mean, you know you live in an upside-down
• 32:30
  Speaker 11: world when last week Barack Obama said President Trump's actions
• 32:35
  Speaker 11: towards Ilhan Omar are chilling. My fear is that every
• 32:38
  Speaker 11: future president will be willing to weaponize– officials with whom
• 32:45
  Speaker 11: they disagree and then he went on to say this
• 32:47
  Speaker 11: is unprecedented the justice department and the intelligence community has
• 32:51
  Speaker 11: never been weaponized in such a way and my fear
• 32:54
  Speaker 11: is that this will be the precedent going forward he
• 32:56
  Speaker 11: said that with a straight face and so it's you
• 33:00
  Speaker 11: cannot it i mean again since i know that my
• 33:04
  Speaker 11: treasure is not on heaven or not on earth but
• 33:06
  Speaker 11: in heaven i just go on understanding that it will
• 33:10
  Speaker 11: come off in this greatest experiment in human freedom in
• 33:12
  Speaker 11: history tumbles into the abyss you know I'm gonna be
• 33:16
  Speaker 11: all right either way but by golly it is unimaginable
• 33:20
  Speaker 11: just how freaking predictably dishonest the other side is while
• 33:25
  Speaker 11: sitting around calling us liars you got in Virginia's fifth
• 33:28
  Speaker 11: district Tom Perriello saying you know bring down costs as
• 33:33
  Speaker 11: if John McGuire is somehow responsible for the soaring costs
• 33:37
  Speaker 11: of energy and health care I mean it And then
• 33:41
  Speaker 11: accusing John McGuire of being corrupt. Now, I've heard John
• 33:44
  Speaker 11: McGuire accused of any number of things, some of which
• 33:46
  Speaker 11: might be somewhat legitimate, but corrupt he is not. I mean,
• 33:49
  Speaker 11: a good, hardworking guy who just overcame a ton of
• 33:53
  Speaker 11: adversity to become a Navy SEAL and a small business owner.
• 33:57
  Speaker 11: I mean, you just, you can't make this stuff up.
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: I understand. Believe me, if it wasn't for double standards,
• 34:05
  Speaker 7: they wouldn't have any standards at all. I mean, Tom
• 34:07
  Speaker 7: is out there courting veterans' votes. And I'm like, you
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: mean the same soldiers that he denied their votes counted,
• 34:15
  Speaker 7: their votes being counted in 2008? And everyone's like.
• 34:19
  Speaker 11: I've never seen somebody work so hard to disenfranchise a
• 34:21
  Speaker 11: minority group to stop apparently working in 2008.
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, all the soldiers. But people forget, it was
• 34:28
  Speaker 7: the Department of Elections, Tim Kaine proprietor at the time,
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: that sent the ballots to the soldiers late anyway. So
• 34:34
  Speaker 7: it was two-pronged. And so, you know, you could have
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: a senator... and a congressman that were involved in disenfranchising soldiers. But,
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: you know, why bring up inconvenience?
• 34:48
  Speaker 11: And then with a straight face, they look at those
• 34:50
  Speaker 11: people disenfranchising minorities.
• 34:52
  Speaker 7: I mean, it's like while.
• 34:54
  Speaker 11: They were disenfranchising minorities, Animal Farm is a wonderful parallel.
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: And we need an honest retelling of it. Maybe that's
• 35:02
  Speaker 7: what we should do for Christmas. Maybe our Christmas special
• 35:05
  Speaker 7: should be four hours of me reading Animal Farm. No,
• 35:10
  Speaker 7: I don't know. The book's going to take you more
• 35:13
  Speaker 7: than four hours to read it start to finish. Maybe
• 35:16
  Speaker 7: we should get one of the scripts and put all
• 35:18
  Speaker 7: the good parts back in, the parts that teach you
• 35:21
  Speaker 7: about communism and what happens. And, you know, Tom, you
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: made a great point about accusing, and there's another author,
• 35:36
  Speaker 7: Saul Alinsky, that says that, accuse your opponent of the
• 35:39
  Speaker 7: thing you're doing, whether it's disenfranchising voters or driving up
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: costs to make wealthy people wealthy, wealthier. And remember the
• 35:54
  Speaker 7: point I've made about communism. Communism is not about going
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: after the rich guy. Sure, if you go to a
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: Bernie Sanders speech, he'll tell you that. But look at
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: who Bernie Sanders hangs out with. Know them by who
• 36:12
  Speaker 7: they associate with. Look at who Bernie Sanders is hanging
• 36:18
  Speaker 7: around with and who his contributors are, and you realize
• 36:22
  Speaker 7: that he's not against the rich guys. He's against the
• 36:25
  Speaker 7: middle class guys. That's a pedantic, pardon me, pejorative phrase.
• 36:31
  Speaker 7: It's the He's against middle class people. He's against middle
• 36:37
  Speaker 7: class people because we're the ones who run the small businesses.
• 36:42
  Speaker 7: And the small businesses, whether they appear to be or not,
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: are the places where the majority of Americans work. And
• 36:50
  Speaker 7: the fewer small businesses we have, the fewer opportunities there
• 36:55
  Speaker 7: are for people. So the more government help is needed.
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: So the more powerful the people like Bernie Sanders becomes.
• 37:04
  Speaker 7: When they say they want to create freedom, and in
• 37:08
  Speaker 7: their implications they mean freedom from having to pay bills,
• 37:12
  Speaker 7: freedom from having to find domicile, freedom from having to
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: find groceries, that's their freedom that they're trying to hawk.
• 37:21
  Speaker 7: What they actually mean is servitude. Look at what's become
• 37:26
  Speaker 7: of the non-citizen illegal aliens. They are the modern American
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: slave culture. The mayor of Minneapolis himself said, as he
• 37:43
  Speaker 7: stood up against Tom Homan and ICE, they're trying to
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: take away our abuelas and our busboys. I mean, Jake,
• 37:55
  Speaker 7: come on, man. Jake Fry was just, but he said
• 37:58
  Speaker 7: the quiet part out loud.
• 38:03

  Speaker 19: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 40:05
  Speaker 19: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
• 40:09
  Speaker 19: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 40:14
  Speaker 13: Oh, yes!
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: Yes!
• 40:15
  Speaker 8: Yes!
• 40:16
  Speaker 19: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 40:20
  Speaker 19: favorite form of ear candy.
• 40:23
  Speaker 11: Oh, my.
• 40:24
  Speaker 19: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 40:28
  Speaker 25: Shh.
• 40:29
  Speaker 10: Do you smell that?
• 40:32
  Speaker 19: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is goodwill.
• 40:38
  Speaker 7: And with every item.
• 40:39
  Speaker 10: You buy, you fund local job.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: Training and more.
• 40:44
  Speaker 19: So go forth... Bring home those donut earrings. And bring
• 40:48
  Speaker 19: home so much good to your community.
• 40:54
  Speaker 7: Goodwill.
• 40:55
  Speaker 19: Bring good home.
• 40:57
  Speaker 25: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 25: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 25: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 25: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 25: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 25: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 25: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 25: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 25: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 25: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 41:41
  Speaker 19: Eat better.

• 41:54
  Speaker 7: My victory was proving that a disability is not a limitation.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: I'm Julius. I'm a veteran. My victory was going from
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: homeless to home.

• 42:55
  Speaker 22: first date?
• 42:56
  Speaker 10: Sure.
• 42:57
  Speaker 6: We'll probably stay together.
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: Probably?
• 42:59
  Speaker 24: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
• 43:03
  Speaker 7: I can probably swim.
• 43:05
  Speaker 10: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 43:07
  Speaker 7: Okay, don't tell me what to do.
• 43:09
  Speaker 10: Cannonball!
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: Cramp!
• 43:12
  Speaker 10: Oh, I have a cramp.
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: I can probably hit the green from here.
• 43:19
  Speaker 7: Probably.
• 43:24
  Speaker 11: Can I get a mulligan?
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: Ready to go?
• 43:27
  Speaker 14: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.
• 43:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 43:35
  Speaker 10: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 43:39
  Speaker 10: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 43:42
  Speaker 10: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message
• 43:45
  Speaker 10: brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council.
• 43:48
  Speaker 22: You know the legal drinking age is 21. You may
• 43:50
  Speaker 22: also know this law protects teens. Find out more at DontServeTeens.gov.

  Speaker 22: the Federal Trade Commission.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: I don't have a ton of faith that my Republican
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: colleagues are going to have any more strength. So that's
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I want to look at these signature
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: cases and not just focus on the president.
• 44:30
  Speaker 8: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
• 44:31
  Speaker 8: and the party people.
• 44:32
  Speaker 20: So we were talking, and I want to be about answers.
• 44:34
  Speaker 8: You know, the answer is, you know, what do we.
• 44:41
  Speaker 17: Do?
• 44:41
  Speaker 7: And, you know, We talk about dysfunction, and I believe
• 45:01
  Speaker 7: that the left media wants to cover squabbles within the
• 45:06
  Speaker 7: Republican Party, but I think they also want to suborn them.
• 45:09
  Speaker 7: This is the data center ads. This is the, you know,
• 45:15
  Speaker 7: don't vote for this guy because he allowed something or
• 45:21
  Speaker 7: said something or was there in the room when something.
• 45:25
  Speaker 7: It's about vote suppression. Because they only represent, the Marxist
• 45:31
  Speaker 7: left only represents about 25, 30 percent of the population.
• 45:38
  Speaker 7: Tough to win an election when you have that number,
• 45:41
  Speaker 7: unless you can get half of the Constitution-loving conservatives out there.
• 45:46
  Speaker 7: So Ramona Christian, she's a chief of staff in the U.S.
• 45:50
  Speaker 7: House of Representatives, campaign manager, FOT, that's friend of Trump.
• 45:58
  Speaker 7: As well, Ramona, what do we do? What what does
• 46:03
  Speaker 7: the listener have to do to change this stuff that's
• 46:06
  Speaker 7: happening in their party?
• 46:08
  Speaker 18: You can go on their website and you can look
• 46:12
  Speaker 18: at under leaders and it has every. counties, Republican leader,
• 46:18
  Speaker 18: Republican chair by county on there. And it has either
• 46:21
  Speaker 18: their email or their phone number. Call your unit chair,
• 46:25
  Speaker 18: your county chair and say, let's stop this.
• 46:29
  Speaker 5: And I want to help.
• 46:30
  Speaker 18: That's the other thing. Republicans like to complain, but we
• 46:33
  Speaker 18: don't like to get out and work anymore.
• 46:36
  Speaker 7: Too many, too many times. Yeah. Volunteer.
• 46:39
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 46:39
  Speaker 7: Well, it's hard because a lot of folks who volunteer
• 46:43
  Speaker 7: for these committees are wind up becoming just like Donald Trump.
• 46:46
  Speaker 7: And this was one of the things I said early
• 46:48
  Speaker 7: on in the Democrat assaults on Donald Trump. As I said,
• 46:53
  Speaker 7: they're not assaulting Donald Trump as much as they're sending
• 46:56
  Speaker 7: a message to you, the listener, don't volunteer for your
• 47:01
  Speaker 7: political party. Don't get involved. Don't put a yard sign
• 47:05
  Speaker 7: out there because we are going to come after you
• 47:09
  Speaker 7: and you're not going to like it. Trump can handle it.
• 47:12
  Speaker 7: but you can't. And we saw it with the DOJ
• 47:15
  Speaker 7: going after parents at school board meetings. But even that,
• 47:18
  Speaker 7: I mean, just neighbor on neighbor, not violence per se,
• 47:23
  Speaker 7: but aggression is part of how to keep people from
• 47:28
  Speaker 7: being engaged in their communities.
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 47:32
  Speaker 18: And actually, we have seen Since 2024, a revival in
• 47:37
  Speaker 18: the youth and the college kids coming back to conservative principles.
• 47:41
  Speaker 18: And now you have Senator Slotkin going on television, pretty
• 47:47
  Speaker 18: much threatening the youth of our country.
• 47:49
  Speaker 7: Did you see that?
• 47:51
  Speaker 18: Yes, the conservative movement. We're going to come after you
• 47:54
  Speaker 18: November 4th if we win.
• 47:56
  Speaker 7: That was so scary. That was so scary. And we
• 48:00
  Speaker 7: haven't even scratched the surface of that. Ramona, let me
• 48:03
  Speaker 7: get into that with my folks here. You go on
• 48:06
  Speaker 7: and have a great day. God bless you, and we'll
• 48:08
  Speaker 7: talk to you again very soon.
• 48:09
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 48:11
  Speaker 18: Thank you.
• 48:11
  Speaker 19: Thank you.
• 48:12
  Speaker 11: All right. Bye-bye.
• 48:13
  Speaker 7: So Elisa Slotkin was at a think tank and was
• 48:21
  Speaker 7: sitting there. The University of Chicago Institute for Left-Wing Saul
• 48:28
  Speaker 7: Alinsky Culture the Alinsky Center at the University of Chicago,
• 48:32
  Speaker 7: wherever it was. Anyway, and she's sitting up there and
• 48:39
  Speaker 7: being interviewed by a professor who probably thinks she's a fascist,
• 48:43
  Speaker 7: you know, right winger compared to him. And they're talking
• 48:47
  Speaker 7: about impeaching Trump and what happened and why weren't we
• 48:51
  Speaker 7: able to impeach Trump? And are you going to impeach
• 48:54
  Speaker 7: Trump this time? And throw him out in the Senate.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: If Mitch McConnell had done the right thing, then Donald
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: Trump would have been impeached after January 6th, and he
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: did not. I am into effectiveness. And if we have
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: the House but not the Senate, you know, I don't
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: have a ton of faith that my Republican colleagues are
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: going to have any more strength. So that's what I'm saying.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: I want to look at these signature cases and not
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: just focus on the president, but on the people who
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: enabled him. I want... young people coming out of school
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: to say, should I go work for the Trump administration? Like,
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: that sounds fun. I might get an opportunity. I want
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: them to be like, Lord, that might be buying myself
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: a ton of problems that I don't want. And so
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: let me avoid participating in that.
• 49:39
  Speaker 7: Listen to what she just said.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: So that's what i'm saying i want to look at
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: these signature cases and not just focus on the president
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: but on the people who enabled him i want young
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: people coming out of school to say should i go
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: work for the trump administration like that sounds fun i
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: might get an opportunity i want them to be like
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: lord that might be buying myself a ton of problems.
• 50:04
  Speaker 7: Take the and apply it, say a Republican senator said
• 50:12
  Speaker 7: that in 1994. So, look, Joey, your humble host, skipped
• 50:26
  Speaker 7: the Obama administration. He didn't face impeachment hearings. But let's
• 50:30
  Speaker 7: go back to the last time impeachment was the word.
• 50:40
  Speaker 7: So a U.S. senator at a think tank in Georgia
• 50:48
  Speaker 7: says the same thing about Bill Clinton. Do you think
• 50:53
  Speaker 7: Janet Reno has a problem with that? I mean, aside
• 50:58
  Speaker 7: from being, you know, a Branch Davidian or a gun
• 51:01
  Speaker 7: owner in the hills of the American Midwest, I don't
• 51:04
  Speaker 7: think Janet Reno wanted to go after political opponents, did she?
• 51:16
  Speaker 7: All things have to be applicable to both sides in
• 51:18
  Speaker 7: order for the United States to work. So if you're
• 51:22
  Speaker 7: outraged that Alyssa Slotkin wants to weaponize the justice system
• 51:26
  Speaker 7: to make young people less interested on being involved, and
• 51:31
  Speaker 7: that's the subtext. I know she said joining the Trump administration.
• 51:38
  Speaker 7: But that's beyond, I disagree with his policies. She never
• 51:43
  Speaker 7: said two words about disagreeing with his policy. She wants
• 51:48
  Speaker 7: to impeach him for January 6th still. And you have
• 52:00
  Speaker 7: to make it applicable to both sides. So go back
• 52:02
  Speaker 7: to the last time impeachment was the thing and say,
• 52:07
  Speaker 7: pick a Republican senator, Bob Dole, You think Bob Dole,
• 52:15
  Speaker 7: Bob Dole wouldn't do that? Bob Dole says Bob Dole
• 52:19
  Speaker 7: wouldn't do that. Go after young people and try to
• 52:24
  Speaker 7: scare them off. Raid. How about we start raiding rock
• 52:27
  Speaker 7: the vote events? Send the Department of Alcohol, Tobacco and
• 52:34
  Speaker 7: Firearms to raid every rock the vote rally. Send the
• 52:41
  Speaker 7: Drug Enforcement Agency to every drop-the-vote rally. You think that
• 52:45
  Speaker 7: would chill things? Got to watch this stuff. Until tomorrow morning,
• 52:49
  Speaker 7: we'll watch more of it.
• 52:50
  Speaker 5: Hi, I'm Mark Falter with the Financial Fitness Show. Have
• 52:58
