- 0:54Speaker 6: as well. Let your favorite radio station know that that
- 0:57Speaker 6: we can break it down because there's stills so many
- 1:00Speaker 6: people that you believe that Saturday is a day nobody
- 1:11Speaker 6: is paying attention. So they can sneak all the bad
- 1:13Speaker 6: stories that they need to release, but they don't want
- 1:16Speaker 6: anyone to know about. They release them in the evening
- 1:25Speaker 6: on Friday, so that you know, maybe you know nobody
- 1:28Speaker 6: reads the Saturday paper, but you know they've lost touch
- 1:31Speaker 6: with your life. Your life is six seven days a
- 1:36Speaker 6: week of work. I mean, you're up working. You got
- 1:39Speaker 6: to get it going on just like you do on

- 1:47Speaker 6: think the press has figured it out yet because they
- 1:50Speaker 6: still try to sneak Sally out the alley while you're
- 1:52Speaker 6: not watching. But we're here on Saturday morning to make
- 1:56Speaker 6: sure you know about it. But if you miss any

- 2:49Speaker 6: so much going on, we better get right into our
- 2:53Speaker 6: First Things this morning so that we can discuss as
- 2:56Speaker 6: the morning unfolds before us. On the Talk Media Network,
- 3:04Speaker 6: Hillary Clinton finished her testimony in front of a House subcommittee,
- 3:13Speaker 6: paused only briefly when Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Bobert posted a
- 3:18Speaker 6: picture to social media of the former Secretary of State
- 3:22Speaker 6: testifying on whether she had any knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein
- 3:27Speaker 6: or Galaine Maxwell's crimes, an interestingly worded question. She said
- 3:34Speaker 6: in a press conference gathering afterwards that she didn't know
- 3:40Speaker 6: and she had no knowledge of the Epstein crowd's crime.
- 3:45Speaker 7: I have just finished testifying.
- 3:47Speaker 8: I answered every one of their.
- 3:50Speaker 9: Questions as fully as I could, based on what I knew.
- 3:56Speaker 6: Based on what I knew. The federal judge in Minnesota
- 4:02Speaker 6: has won the Irony Award for this Friday morning, as
- 4:06Speaker 6: he's issued a stern warning for federal prosecutors and ice
- 4:11Speaker 6: officials in Minnesota to make sure they comply with court
- 4:16Speaker 6: orders or they risk criminal contempt arrests. But in Virginia,
- 4:20Speaker 6: the Attorney General J. Jones has told election officials to
- 4:25Speaker 6: disregard restraining orders and go ahead and start collecting votes
- 4:30Speaker 6: on March sixth for the referendum to temporarily suspend Virginia's
- 4:35Speaker 6: constitution Pakistan's as it considers themselves in an open war
- 4:41Speaker 6: with Afghanistan. Pakistan struck in Afghanistan Taliban's retaliatory strike reportedly,
- 4:47Speaker 6: and this has not been confirmed yet by ME, but
- 4:50Speaker 6: reports are it struck a nuclear generating facility in Pakistan.
- 4:56Speaker 6: Pakistan did strike back against Kabul. American sympathies in the
- 5:01Speaker 6: Middle East have flipped. After three years of unending coverage
- 5:05Speaker 6: in support of Pakistan and the pardon me the Palestinians
- 5:10Speaker 6: there as oppressed peoples. Americans now support the Palestinians and
- 5:18Speaker 6: Hamas more than they support Israel. It's flipped from fifty
- 5:23Speaker 6: four to thirty one pro Israel three years ago to
- 5:26Speaker 6: forty one thirty six pro Hamas. European Union set on
- 5:31Speaker 6: Thursday with back efforts to financially support women seeking abortions
- 5:36Speaker 6: after a multi year campaign that had more than a
- 5:39Speaker 6: million citizens across twenty seven multi million person nation blocks.
- 5:45Speaker 6: They will have the taxpayers paying for abortion there. They've
- 5:49Speaker 6: set aside one hundred and forty seven billion euro to
- 5:53Speaker 6: pay for this abortion tourism in Europe and Iran and
- 5:58Speaker 6: the United States finished there meeting, no new deal between them.

- 12:27Speaker 6: Ready to go?
- 12:28Speaker 24: Hey?
- 12:28Speaker 5: Are you sure you're okay to drive?

- 13:12Speaker 1: Question for you from Joe Thomas. It's first thing today.
- 13:32Speaker 6: Thank you for letting us be of service to you.
- 13:34Speaker 6: Four three four eight eight two four two one seven uh.
- 13:39Speaker 6: And manipulators. That's the problem. The manipulators, the folks who
- 13:45Speaker 6: want to force things to go their way. And I
- 13:51Speaker 6: get it, because trying to make it on your own
- 13:55Speaker 6: is a daunting affair. And what's the point in having
- 14:00Speaker 6: friends in government if you can't make them write laws
- 14:03Speaker 6: that benefit your business? Right? Come on? And so, and
- 14:10Speaker 6: this is tangentially connected to the Clintons and the Epstein's
- 14:15Speaker 6: and why the David Rockefellers and the Build a Bear
- 14:18Speaker 6: group are interested in this because just helping people save
- 14:29Speaker 6: money and grow money that's not good enough. You need
- 14:38Speaker 6: to be able to move money at your will. Otherwise
- 14:46Speaker 6: you're not important. You're just a guy. You're just a
- 14:49Speaker 6: clerk of the works, You're just a bank teller. But
- 14:52Speaker 6: if you can make things happen, if I can give
- 14:54Speaker 6: you money, and you make things happen by the power
- 14:58Speaker 6: of your connections and your will, and this is how
- 15:02Speaker 6: government winds up getting corrupted. So after the Civil War
- 15:05Speaker 6: we started to pervert the commerce clause to create regulation.
- 15:10Speaker 6: And I know we went off on the FCC yesterday
- 15:13Speaker 6: because the FCC is holding hearings and investigating the sports leagues,
- 15:20Speaker 6: both collegiate and professional, and their contracts with cable and
- 15:26Speaker 6: internet service providers and things. It's a business, it said.
- 15:31Speaker 6: They're doing what they think is in the best interest
- 15:40Speaker 6: of their business. Okay, let's see how that works out,
- 15:47Speaker 6: because they have the right to fail. Just as much
- 15:53Speaker 6: as that. We were talking about Sun Sue yesterday. Sunsu
- 15:56Speaker 6: in the art of war and how one of the
- 16:02Speaker 6: or misunderstood tenants in the art of war is the
- 16:06Speaker 6: more thoroughly prepared for war you are, the less likely
- 16:11Speaker 6: you're going to have war. And the best way to
- 16:14Speaker 6: win a war is to not have a war. These
- 16:18Speaker 6: are premises in Sun Sue that people don't there, Oh
- 16:21Speaker 6: it's about battle. Well no, it's actually in many cases
- 16:24Speaker 6: about avoiding the battle. But another part of Sun Sue,
- 16:29Speaker 6: and I love this quote from Sun Sue, never interrupt
- 16:33Speaker 6: your enemy while they're making a mistake. And if the
- 16:41Speaker 6: world wants to go into a pay per view world,
- 16:45Speaker 6: here on free broadcast radio, I'm not going to interrupt
- 16:49Speaker 6: them because what they're doing this is the arrogance that
- 16:56Speaker 6: corrupts so many things and crashes so many things. This, Oh,
- 17:02Speaker 6: we are more important than we thought we were, and
- 17:05Speaker 6: we can demand that you pay us for the You know,
- 17:09Speaker 6: it's great example Max coming up with sports. I don't
- 17:12Speaker 6: want to dwell too much in the sporting MILLIU. But
- 17:16Speaker 6: when they want to build a new stadium and they
- 17:19Speaker 6: go out and they say, we want ten thousand dollars
- 17:22Speaker 6: from each person who wants to buy a seat license,
- 17:26Speaker 6: and then you pay ten thousand dollars or one hundred
- 17:28Speaker 6: thousand dollars for a seat license that doesn't guarantee you
- 17:32Speaker 6: a seat at the ballgame, That gives you the opportunity
- 17:37Speaker 6: to buy a seat at the ballgame before they go
- 17:40Speaker 6: on sale to the general public. That's all ten thousand dollars.
- 17:43Speaker 6: Can you think of anything else you could do with
- 17:45Speaker 6: ten thousand dollars than to guarantee yourself a seat at
- 17:49Speaker 6: a football game or a baseball game. I can. And
- 17:56Speaker 6: that's that's all part of this perversion of the commers
- 18:00Speaker 6: clause that I talk about frequently, where the government started
- 18:04Speaker 6: to pick winners and losers, and we're going to help
- 18:09Speaker 6: you out if you help us out. And part of
- 18:15Speaker 6: that becomes regulatory capture, part of what Donald Trump wanted
- 18:19Speaker 6: to eliminate when he came in to drain the swamp,
- 18:22Speaker 6: and who stood up against him and said not on
- 18:24Speaker 6: this bridge. The Republicans, just like they did in twenty seventeen.
- 18:32Speaker 6: Doze did its job. It found a whole bunch of
- 18:35Speaker 6: redundant positions within the bureaucracy that under the premise of
- 18:43Speaker 6: cutting regulation, you wouldn't need these offices anymore. Problem was,
- 18:49Speaker 6: while Elon Musk was being fruitful in his Doze pursuits,
- 18:54Speaker 6: Congress abandoned ship when it came to cutting the regulations
- 18:59Speaker 6: that those bureaucrats were administering. So what wound up happening
- 19:03Speaker 6: is the chaos that guys like Tim Kaine were all four,
- 19:11Speaker 6: so they could say, look at the chaos they've caused,
- 19:13Speaker 6: lines of people, backlogs of applications, grant fun Oh my god,
- 19:18Speaker 6: the chaos that Trump has brought. Chaos, chaos, I tell you.
- 19:29Speaker 6: So they had to bring back all these folks to administer,
- 19:32Speaker 6: administer programs that Congress was supposed to have gotten rid of.
- 19:37Speaker 6: They didn't. Why why couldn't they Because Democrats are better
- 19:44Speaker 6: at governing from a minority position than Republicans are at
- 19:49Speaker 6: governing from a majority position. It's just a truism. And
- 19:54Speaker 6: it's just like the Supreme Court ruling. There are people
- 19:59Speaker 6: who are oh, they're gonna yell at me other person.
- 20:01Speaker 6: You know what. And I said this on January twenty first,
- 20:04Speaker 6: twenty seventeen. If you're afraid of being compared to Trump,
- 20:09Speaker 6: you better get up and get ready for it, because
- 20:11Speaker 6: whether you support Trump or not, you are maga. I'm
- 20:16Speaker 6: sorry if you're not one of them, your maga. So
- 20:20Speaker 6: if you don't want to be called maga, tear up
- 20:23Speaker 6: your conservative bona fides and go get right with the
- 20:28Speaker 6: hands off, my handout rallies. But this FCC investigation into
- 20:35Speaker 6: the sports leagues, it's just one of many, it's the FDA,
- 20:39Speaker 6: it's the USDA. Andy had a great point. So in
- 20:42Speaker 6: the farming world, our friend Joel Salatin from Polyface Farms
- 20:47Speaker 6: and the Rogue Farm Conference has talked for years about
- 20:51Speaker 6: how to circumvent the FDA regulations on farms and help
- 20:56Speaker 6: your local farmers out. Create a club. It's a farm club.
- 21:01Speaker 6: You pay to join the farm club, and then the
- 21:03Speaker 6: food is free, because if you don't charge for the food,
- 21:06Speaker 6: the FDA can't use the commerce clause against you. What
- 21:14Speaker 6: if you had a contribution to your and I'm not
- 21:22Speaker 6: sure how it would legally lay out. Andy talked about
- 21:25Speaker 6: it with the other day, and I had a friend
- 21:27Speaker 6: of mine say, I'm not sure how that would lay
- 21:29Speaker 6: out legally. How would an employer just make a contribution
- 21:34Speaker 6: to you and then you worked for free, and then
- 21:40Speaker 6: you wouldn't have to pay payroll tax and all these things.
- 21:43Speaker 6: But it's a fascinating idea of using constitutional money. Here's
- 21:47Speaker 6: here's ten pounds of silver. What is that ten thousand
- 21:54Speaker 6: dollars worth of silver? Whatever it is, here's a bunch
- 21:57Speaker 6: of silver. You work for me, and then you know,
- 22:00Speaker 6: we'll just call it even.
- 22:02Speaker 25: Hey, guys, I'm Teddy Savage National League training for Planet
- 22:05Speaker 25: Fitness and the American Heart Association recommends that we all
- 22:08Speaker 25: get at least one hundred and fifty minutes of moderate
- 22:11Speaker 25: aerobic activity in a week's time. But here's the thing
- 22:14Speaker 25: that one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to
- 22:16Speaker 25: be super intense. As a matter of fact, it could
- 22:19Speaker 25: just be you moving your body and doing what you
- 22:21Speaker 25: already love to do, like exercise. And a stronger heart
- 22:24Speaker 25: doesn't just mean cardio, right, it means also infusing your
- 22:28Speaker 25: workout routines with strength training as well. So we are
- 22:31Speaker 25: super excited to be launching our new plateloaded Strength series
- 22:35Speaker 25: and all of our gems. It's already fitted in seventeen
- 22:38Speaker 25: hundred locations, with the goal to have all twenty seven
- 22:41Speaker 25: hundred fitted by the end of twenty twenty five. So
- 22:44Speaker 25: if you need more information, go to our website at

- 27:57Speaker 6: It's on.
- 28:29Speaker 1: From the home of the First Amendment. First thing today.
- 28:34Speaker 6: Sports director Mac McDonald is ready to open his notebook
- 28:38Speaker 6: for us. First a text message, good job Joe math
- 28:42Speaker 6: on the fly. You're pretty close to write ten pounds
- 28:45Speaker 6: of silver at current rate is about fourteen thousand dollars
- 28:50Speaker 6: that I was. I was close. I said ten grand.
- 28:54Speaker 6: It was just spitballing there. You know to what.
- 28:58Speaker 15: Two three thousand dollars a monthy?
- 29:00Speaker 6: Yeah, two twenty to twenty one, whatever it takes, whatever
- 29:03Speaker 6: it is, that's right, yeah, I said, So, how is
- 29:07Speaker 6: this Friday shaping up big sports weekend as a college
- 29:10Speaker 6: basketball approaches March Madness?
- 29:13Speaker 15: Well, yeah, with everything, with everything going.
- 29:15Speaker 22: On and all the you know, the big games of
- 29:18Speaker 22: Virginia Duke and you know Ari Zonas and you know
- 29:22Speaker 22: the Houstons of the world, and but this story broke.
- 29:26Speaker 9: And so now I'm intrigued as I've ever been. And
- 29:29Speaker 9: I'm adding my two cents because that's what we do
- 29:32Speaker 9: right this time. The Power for Conference commissioners are expected
- 29:36Speaker 9: to join dozens of sports celebrities and dignitaries at the
- 29:41Speaker 9: White House March sixth in a round table discussion with
- 29:44Speaker 9: Donald Trump about the future of college athletics. All right,
- 29:49Speaker 9: so that's good, but they're inviting everybody. President Trumpell chair
- 29:54Speaker 9: of the group, and Florida Governor Ron de Sanders and
- 29:56Speaker 9: New York Yankees President Randy Levine are listed as vice chair.
- 30:00Speaker 9: According to a source, all Right, Tiger Woods, NBA commissioner
- 30:04Speaker 9: Adam Silver, Robert Kraft of the pat Patriots, several ads
- 30:09Speaker 9: including Notre Dame's Pete Mavakua, we are still screwed, and
- 30:13Speaker 9: former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice.
- 30:16Speaker 6: Just to mention, this is she's Stanford. Isn't she like
- 30:19Speaker 6: the President of Stanford or something that.
- 30:22Speaker 9: Yeah, she's yea Condalleza can do anything, and she goes
- 30:25Speaker 9: to the Masters and plays a few rounds. All right,
- 30:28Speaker 9: right now, kirkhurb Street is not on the list. I'm
- 30:31Speaker 9: just gonna make a recommendation, you know, mister Trump, mister President,
- 30:37Speaker 9: just call Kirk into the Oval office, have a thirty
- 30:39Speaker 9: minute session.
- 30:40Speaker 15: You can solve this whole thing. This is how I know. Okay,
- 30:43Speaker 15: kirkhurb Street a couple of weeks ago.
- 30:47Speaker 9: Dove into the issues, okay, and what we really need,
- 30:51Speaker 9: all right, Part one?
- 30:52Speaker 15: We need a commissioner and a new level with a
- 30:55Speaker 15: players union. Here's KIRKHB.
- 30:57Speaker 6: Street.
- 30:57Speaker 2: I think the power for needs to break away, create
- 31:00Speaker 2: their own world, create their own governing body, Allow the
- 31:04Speaker 2: group of four to kind of create their own world,
- 31:06Speaker 2: allow them to have their own playoff, much like FCS
- 31:09Speaker 2: and Division two and three. Just create a new level,
- 31:13Speaker 2: which would be the power for. And then let's put
- 31:15Speaker 2: a new governing body. Let's put a commissioner if we
- 31:18Speaker 2: need to unionize the players, to allow them to create
- 31:21Speaker 2: a CBA to avoid the antitrust laws. Make the rules
- 31:25Speaker 2: come to an agreement like the NFL does on both sides.
- 31:27Speaker 6: I just think that's the only way. Okay, Now, I'm
- 31:30Speaker 6: just like the NFL.
- 31:31Speaker 15: All that is going to take.
- 31:33Speaker 9: But what Kirk says actually makes some sense because we
- 31:37Speaker 9: all understand, well we don't all. I mean, I never
- 31:40Speaker 9: took a law of Greek class or whatever. Because when
- 31:43Speaker 9: you're dealing with litigation, well, what's litigation, complaint, answer, discovery motions,
- 31:48Speaker 9: trial judgment appeals.
- 31:49Speaker 15: Okay, isn't that the order? I mean, at least that's
- 31:51Speaker 15: what I watched last night on Lincoln Lawyer.
- 31:53Speaker 9: You know I'm getting my all right, So now litigation
- 31:58Speaker 9: and lawsuits all right, are eminent without the collective bargaining agreement,
- 32:03Speaker 9: which we've been talking about for about a year.
- 32:06Speaker 2: I just don't know how people aren't going to threaten
- 32:08Speaker 2: to sue. Everybody goes like this when they're threatened with litigation.
- 32:12Speaker 2: So we're having a hard time making definitive answers that.
- 32:15Speaker 1: We know are for the best intent.
- 32:17Speaker 2: But maybe the players or the agents don't think that, hey,
- 32:21Speaker 2: why are you doing this to my guy? So you're
- 32:22Speaker 2: they threaten with litigation and everybody backs up until you
- 32:26Speaker 2: have an agreement in a CBA.
- 32:28Speaker 15: I just don't know how we're going.
- 32:29Speaker 2: To ever come to an agreement with the players and
- 32:32Speaker 2: the agents and the parents with the new governing body.
- 32:35Speaker 6: We need to create a CBA. Oh my god, can
- 32:38Speaker 6: we just all get along?
- 32:39Speaker 9: And so part of this invitation group is Cody Campbell.
- 32:43Speaker 9: He is the billionaire businessman, chairman of Texas Tech Board
- 32:46Speaker 9: of Regents, and a former college football player. Has been
- 32:49Speaker 9: working on saving colleague sports campaign, involved in discussions about
- 32:53Speaker 9: a possible roundtable for more than a year.
- 32:55Speaker 6: So he's been you know, so this is his idea,
- 32:58Speaker 6: this is his me.
- 32:59Speaker 9: Well yeah, that that because it probably his contributions to
- 33:03Speaker 9: some political campaign.
- 33:04Speaker 6: No really, whatever, it's like the one guy in America
- 33:09Speaker 6: that wasn't on Epstein's email list. That's how he's got
- 33:13Speaker 6: value exactly.
- 33:15Speaker 15: So as we as we dive into what could be
- 33:19Speaker 15: just a great college weekend.
- 33:22Speaker 9: I mean, Gino Orim's team has won forty six in
- 33:25Speaker 9: a row.
- 33:25Speaker 15: I'll talk more about that next hour.
- 33:27Speaker 9: They're you know, they're thirty and oh their twenty fourth
- 33:30Speaker 9: regular season title.
- 33:31Speaker 15: Don Staley's got.
- 33:33Speaker 9: Just two losses and number three South Carolina. Not to
- 33:36Speaker 9: mention the Dukes of the world and everything that's happening,
- 33:39Speaker 9: you know at the college landscape now with March Madness
- 33:42Speaker 9: on the horizon, this is you know, we're we're just
- 33:46Speaker 9: a couple of weeks away and from the best four
- 33:49Speaker 9: weeks in athletics.
- 33:50Speaker 6: Right Yeah. But at the same time, so Trump's gonna
- 33:53Speaker 6: sit down in the Oval office with these people. You've
- 33:55Speaker 6: got David Carr. This this this steroid up enforcer out
- 34:02Speaker 6: there who's going to investigate all these cable and and
- 34:07Speaker 6: streaming companies for their contracts with these sports leagues. I
- 34:11Speaker 6: smell carrot and stick. Hey will help protect your money
- 34:15Speaker 6: if you give in too, and all of this manipulation
- 34:19Speaker 6: of marketplaces. You know what. And we were quoting Sun
- 34:22Speaker 6: Sue earlier, Mac, and I know that you that's your
- 34:24Speaker 6: bedtime reading. Is Sun Sue's the art to quote?
- 34:27Speaker 15: He used to quote that book to me every week.
- 34:30Speaker 6: And one of my favorite Sun Sue quotes, and it's
- 34:33Speaker 6: applicable here is don't interrupt your enemy when they're making
- 34:37Speaker 6: a mistake. And if all these sports teams want to
- 34:41Speaker 6: make it pay per view, we've already lived through the
- 34:43Speaker 6: world of seat licenses to build new stadiums, give me
- 34:47Speaker 6: ten grand and will let you try to buy a
- 34:50Speaker 6: seat when they go on sale. When the stadium's finally finished,
- 34:54Speaker 6: you don't have a seat, but we'll let you try
- 34:55Speaker 6: to buy one. All of this money grab just just
- 35:00Speaker 6: let us ignore them, you know, if don't don't turn
- 35:03Speaker 6: them into victims. If if the NFL wants to do
- 35:07Speaker 6: everything on Amazon Prime, great, let's see what their ratings are.
- 35:12Speaker 6: Is it worth the money? You know, when the advertisers
- 35:15Speaker 6: start abandoning the broadcasts because nobody's tuning in the marketplace,
- 35:20Speaker 6: will fix this? When when college kids start realizing that
- 35:26Speaker 6: you know they and I keep ten years from now, Mac,
- 35:28Speaker 6: what's the over under on the first series of Name image, likeness,
- 35:33Speaker 6: people that are bankrupt and selling.
- 35:34Speaker 15: There is it not to step on you.
- 35:38Speaker 9: The portal is already proving that because thousands of guys
- 35:43Speaker 9: are not going to play next year, just not.
- 35:45Speaker 15: They went into the portal and nobody wants them.
- 35:47Speaker 6: Good good, that's what. And then the portal will die.
- 35:51Speaker 6: Let it. Let you know, let business. It's creative destruction. Right,
- 35:56Speaker 6: we'll figure something else.
- 35:57Speaker 9: So with all that being said, and what you say
- 36:00Speaker 9: is one hundred percent, I'd never disagree with you because
- 36:03Speaker 9: your IQ is way higher than mine.
- 36:05Speaker 15: Stop.
- 36:05Speaker 6: I'm a nine to sixty guy like Avin Newsom. I mean,
- 36:08Speaker 6: I actually I'm a ten to forty guy.
- 36:10Speaker 9: Here's what we need to do. Contact the Atlanta Hawks
- 36:13Speaker 9: front office. Why Because March sixteenth, they're paying tribute to
- 36:19Speaker 9: a strip club in Atlanta called Magic City, and they
- 36:24Speaker 9: want to celebrate the quote iconic cultural institution. So the
- 36:30Speaker 9: Hawks are planning at night filled with food, including the
- 36:33Speaker 9: club's famous lemon pepper wings, along with music and exclusive merchandise.
- 36:39Speaker 9: And guess who they're playing March sixteenth? Why not the
- 36:43Speaker 9: Orlando Magic I think it's only fitting that the Hawks
- 36:47Speaker 9: front office get together and say, all right, let's solve
- 36:50Speaker 9: these college problems.
- 36:51Speaker 15: We'll just salute a strip club.
- 36:54Speaker 6: Is Rick Patino invited? I'm sorry too soon? Is Rick
- 36:58Speaker 6: Patino invited? I mean, can Saint John's play the pregame?
- 37:02Speaker 6: You know the Oh yeah, do I do?
- 37:05Speaker 15: I say this? I barely understand some of the logic.
- 37:10Speaker 6: Oh that hurt. That hurts, you know. And somewhere somewhere,
- 37:17Speaker 6: mutual friends, mutual friends of mine are texting me as
- 37:20Speaker 6: we speak about some some Sugar Bowl game that UVA
- 37:25Speaker 6: played in that I don't want to see that. I
- 37:27Speaker 6: don't want to see the text messages. Well, that's okay.
- 37:30Speaker 9: I hid those receipts from Larry Richardson for years. You know,
- 37:34Speaker 9: all all he knew it was some steakhouse in Raleigh.
- 37:37Speaker 15: That's all. He understands. It's a steak and you Texters
- 37:41Speaker 15: will understand.
- 37:42Speaker 6: Yes, I'm sure they will. Anyway, this is whether they
- 37:46Speaker 6: like it or not. This was all brought to you
- 37:48Speaker 6: by the Lunch Pale Foundation. What's important now getting kids
- 37:52Speaker 6: scholarships so they can learn stuff. Not we'll jump into
- 37:55Speaker 6: the transfer.
- 37:56Speaker 9: But Foster just texted me one word wow, so ah,
- 38:00Speaker 9: I'm glad he's listening.
- 38:03Speaker 7: In a study it was found that thirty three percent

- 44:44Speaker 6: how are you, sir?
- 44:45Speaker 23: Good morning, Joe, Happy Friday doing well.
- 44:47Speaker 1: I hope you are.
- 44:48Speaker 6: Oh, you know, It's just it's like programming from a
- 44:51Speaker 6: fire hose. There's never it's like, what do you got
- 44:54Speaker 6: to talk about today? I mean, what do we have
- 44:56Speaker 6: to leave out? Their first? I want to ask about
- 45:05Speaker 6: this continued fixation with where we are in the Epstein investigation,
- 45:15Speaker 6: because there's so many questions that aren't even coming to
- 45:18Speaker 6: the head of being answered, like the ones regarding who
- 45:22Speaker 6: was paying his bills, what decisions were altered by, you know,
- 45:27Speaker 6: the leverage he was gaining by bringing people like you know,
- 45:32Speaker 6: the suspect formerly known as Prince there and now he's
- 45:37Speaker 6: arrested for sharing state secrets with Epstein and things like that.
- 45:42Speaker 6: You were there. Why is it impossible for these people
- 45:46Speaker 6: to ask a straight question? What were you doing and
- 45:50Speaker 6: what you know? What decisions were you swaying for? Was
- 45:53Speaker 6: it simply a money grab? Was he simply making money
- 45:57Speaker 6: through extortion, which is possible, or was it you know,
- 46:02Speaker 6: political shenanigans? Was it state craft? Was it being pushed
- 46:06Speaker 6: by CIA or the FSB? We have Epstein emails with
- 46:10Speaker 6: this guy from the FSB and the Russian government all
- 46:13Speaker 6: over it, and yet everyone seems to be fixated on
- 46:17Speaker 6: on Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton. You know who was there?
- 46:20Speaker 6: What did they know? I want to know what they
- 46:22Speaker 6: were making these people do. Why can't these people just
- 46:25Speaker 6: ask that question?
- 46:28Speaker 23: There is an obscure dark cloud that continues to hang
- 46:32Speaker 23: over the whole Epstein situation. It's unfortunate that here we are,
- 46:38Speaker 23: obviously fifteen years later or so after his conviction and
- 46:42Speaker 23: the time that he served and the sweetheart deal that
- 46:44Speaker 23: he apparently received, that you didn't have sufficient interest in
- 46:49Speaker 23: the Bush administrations, the Obama administration, the first Trump administration,
- 46:54Speaker 23: the Biden administration until now and while they've been smeared
- 46:59Speaker 23: and be merged for their efforts, and you know, we
- 47:02Speaker 23: can people can debate their motivations. It wasn't until Thomas
- 47:06Speaker 23: Massey and the very liberal Roe Qahanna from California joined together.
- 47:11Speaker 23: You had some courageous Republican women who went against the
- 47:15Speaker 23: grain and risked the vendetta of President Trump to push
- 47:19Speaker 23: for it in Lauren Bobert, Nancy Mace, and Marjorie Taylor
- 47:24Speaker 23: Green who joined to try to force disclosure on the
- 47:27Speaker 23: Epstein files. You had all of these people who claimed
- 47:31Speaker 23: and talked on the conservative side during the Biden administration
- 47:34Speaker 23: on gosh, why is there no transparency accountabi on the
- 47:37Speaker 23: Epstein files. Why hasn't there been full release? Hey, we're
- 47:39Speaker 23: going to do this or that when we get in charge,
- 47:42Speaker 23: and then all of a sudden, of a sudden, there
- 47:44Speaker 23: was no Epstein files all of a sudden once they
- 47:46Speaker 23: got in charge. And it's unfortunate that it's been politicized,
- 47:49Speaker 23: to say the least, it's unforced, the inconsistency. The Dems
- 47:52Speaker 23: didn't care until they thought it might implicate President Trump
- 47:55Speaker 23: or embarrassed President Trump or embarrassed President Trump's friends. But
- 47:59Speaker 23: it's a big fel that the wealthy, the powerful, the influential,
- 48:06Speaker 23: the well connected, if they're involved in a mass enterprise
- 48:12Speaker 23: like this, that they be held accountable, that we have
- 48:15Speaker 23: equal treatment under the law, that no one is a buzzle.
- 48:17Speaker 23: That that is all really really important, found fundation, fundamental,
- 48:22Speaker 23: foundational to our republic. And we're told there's one thousand
- 48:27Speaker 23: plus victims, but nobody besides Glene Maxwell has went to prison.
- 48:33Speaker 23: And why is there so much more consequence in Europe?
- 48:37Speaker 23: As you mentioned the Andrew formerly known as Prince Why
- 48:40Speaker 23: is there so much consequence for them? And all these
- 48:44Speaker 23: resignations of high powered, high profile officials over in Europe,
- 48:48Speaker 23: but nothing seemingly happening here.
- 48:51Speaker 6: The was it. The Dutch prince committed suicide this week
- 48:58Speaker 6: over it after his locationed in it. The Keres Starmer's
- 49:02Speaker 6: chief of staff has resigned and has been arrested over this,
- 49:07Speaker 6: and obviously, and it's it's difficult to have this conversation
- 49:13Speaker 6: and other conversations because you have to make abundantly clear
- 49:18Speaker 6: that the crime of human trafficking and the behavior towards
- 49:23Speaker 6: underage children is there is a special room being built
- 49:28Speaker 6: in Hell right now for these people. But on Earth
- 49:32Speaker 6: we also have punishments for their misdeeds, especially when it
- 49:35Speaker 6: comes to the public trust. And I think that's where
- 49:39Speaker 6: a lot of my listeners still fall down into this,
- 49:41Speaker 6: is that we're not getting the impression that the government
- 49:45Speaker 6: is interested in trying to restore that public trust. We
- 49:49Speaker 6: go back to the twenty one you know intelligence officers
- 49:54Speaker 6: that signed the document that said the Steele dossier was
- 49:58Speaker 6: you know, absolutely righteous intel, and it wasn't. And we
- 50:03Speaker 6: feel like it's just like we're constantly being lied to.
- 50:08Speaker 6: And I worry that the government itself. I talked to
- 50:12Speaker 6: thirty year olds who say the system's broken, and I'm
- 50:15Speaker 6: afraid of them throwing it out because I know what
- 50:18Speaker 6: kind of systems people like ILH and Omar and AOC
- 50:22Speaker 6: want to instill. And that's to me, the big the
- 50:24Speaker 6: bigger issue is protecting getting faith back into the American system,
- 50:29Speaker 6: getting at you know, calling out the crony capitalists, calling
- 50:33Speaker 6: out the people who you know, spend most of their
- 50:35Speaker 6: time on K Street instead of in the House Chamber
- 50:39Speaker 6: and those kind of people. That has to be fixed,
- 50:43Speaker 6: you know, almost as much as we get justice for
- 50:46Speaker 6: the victims, these young kids that were trafficked.
- 50:49Speaker 23: Don't you think, yes, there's great risk here when this situation,
- 50:55Speaker 23: the Epstein situation is viewed through a Trump lens, when
- 50:59Speaker 23: the Dems view it through a Trump lens, And how
- 51:01Speaker 23: can we embarrass the president? The President doesn't didn't want
- 51:06Speaker 23: there to be the full to release of the Epstein files.
- 51:08Speaker 23: He was kind of forced into that. He said, Hey,
- 51:09Speaker 23: the economy's great. His Attorney General said the stop markets
- 51:12Speaker 23: at fifty thousand, and nobody should wry about Epstein, which
- 51:15Speaker 23: obviously is very troubling to frame it that way. On
- 51:18Speaker 23: the other hand, people shouldn't look through the situation through
- 51:22Speaker 23: their Trump lends and say, oh, the President, I like
- 51:24Speaker 23: the president. President says, forget about it, move on. Nothing
- 51:28Speaker 23: to see here, so we should forget about it and
- 51:29Speaker 23: move on. I also find it very troubling, Joe, when
- 51:32Speaker 23: people will say, of those who we know were hanging
- 51:36Speaker 23: out with Epstein, they were flying with Epstein, they were
- 51:38Speaker 23: visiting his island, they're in all these compromising photos. Oh,
- 51:42Speaker 23: but they're accused of no wrongdoing. There's a difference between
- 51:45Speaker 23: and we should frame that in criminal wrongdoing. There's a
- 51:48Speaker 23: difference between criminality and prosecutable offenses. But if you're hanging
- 51:55Speaker 23: out with the pedophile, if you're hanging out with someone
- 51:57Speaker 23: who's trafficking even adult immorality, adultrey, promiscuity, hanging it out
- 52:04Speaker 23: with a criminal, traveling with a criminal, you know, indulgencences, debauchery,
- 52:09Speaker 23: these kinds of things. Those are wrongdoing. They may not
- 52:12Speaker 23: be criminal in the sense that someone's going to prison
- 52:14Speaker 23: over those things, but I just I just hate the
- 52:18Speaker 23: characterization that's so often well so and so it's not
- 52:20Speaker 23: accused of any wrongdoing. They were just hanging out with
- 52:22Speaker 23: Epstein all the time, traveling with Epstein. They knew about
- 52:24Speaker 23: his background, and they were still with him. Okay, there's
- 52:27Speaker 23: wrongdoing that that's wrong behavior, even if it's.
- 52:29Speaker 6: Not criminal prosecutable, right, there's there's that fine. And I
- 52:34Speaker 6: don't even think it's a fine line between legal versus
- 52:38Speaker 6: illegal and right versus wrong, and they don't.
- 52:41Speaker 23: And I'm not concerned about protecting those people.
- 52:44Speaker 6: No, absolutely not. Bob Good Good Foramerica dot org is
