Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Is it really safe and is it really a decade?
- 0:05Speaker 2: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
- 0:10Speaker 2: the second most famous Thomas and Charlotte Smith Jewort.
- 0:13Speaker 3: Said, steal me stem.
- 0:15Speaker 4: You have a day at least for work, when the
- 0:19Speaker 4: sun comes up, drops a pet to school. Then Joey
- 0:23Speaker 4: has everything agenda, all the jasus.
- 0:28Speaker 5: The one that Joe's as smile, he only is.
- 0:34Speaker 3: Let me be Joe, thank you for letting me be
- 0:37Speaker 3: of service to you this morning. I want to be
- 0:41Speaker 3: four three four eight eight two four two one seven
- 0:44Speaker 3: is how you get with us, and you take take
- 0:48Speaker 3: whatever you want. We've laid out a lot on the
- 0:51Speaker 3: morning buffet here uh in a couple of different milieus,
- 0:55Speaker 3: the Epstein stuff, and it's you know they are. This
- 0:59Speaker 3: email from Kerry listening to us in Fairbanks. Kerry writes,
- 1:05Speaker 3: in Holy Cow, I didn't connect the two you were.
- 1:08Speaker 6: Secret is not exposed and I.
- 1:11Speaker 3: Can manipulate you with it.
- 1:13Speaker 7: It has power.
- 1:14Speaker 3: Well, yeah, of course, I mean that's the whole point
- 1:16Speaker 3: of a secret, doctor Clark. I mean that's but you
- 1:20Speaker 3: also have to still be in a place to wield it.
- 1:22Speaker 8: Well, if it had power before Joe, it still has power.
- 1:27Speaker 3: Now.
- 1:27Speaker 8: The reason, one of the reasons they don't want to
- 1:30Speaker 8: release all of this is because whoever has that information
- 1:36Speaker 8: doesn't want to give up the power.
- 1:38Speaker 3: Well, and I can't disagree with you, especially when there
- 1:42Speaker 3: is a cover up to the degree that this is.
- 1:45Speaker 3: But to Terry's email from Fairbanks, holy cow, Joe, I
- 1:50Speaker 3: nearly dropped my coffee. I hadn't thought about connecting Janet
- 1:54Speaker 3: Reno and Bill Clinton to the Branch Davidians and to
- 1:57Speaker 3: Ruby Ridge. Wasn't the Branch Davidian's raid because there was
- 2:02Speaker 3: supposedly child abuse going on? There no more calls, Please,
- 2:08Speaker 3: we have a winner for twenty four twenty AM. On
- 2:13Speaker 3: February twenty eighth, nineteen ninety three, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco
- 2:18Speaker 3: and Firearms attempted to execute a search warrant related to
- 2:22Speaker 3: alleged sexual abuse charges going on at the Branch Davidian
- 2:29Speaker 3: compound in Waco, Texas. Larry texts in he said, don't
- 2:34Speaker 3: forget the Murrah building bobbing that happened when Timothy McVeigh
- 2:38Speaker 3: wanted to enact revenge for this. Well, yeah, that dude
- 2:44Speaker 3: had a marble or two that had come loose. Ruby
- 2:50Speaker 3: Ridge again it was child welfare, but somehow, and I
- 2:56Speaker 3: like this one. I see where you're working on this
- 2:59Speaker 3: from Jerry writes into four three four eight eight two
- 3:03Speaker 3: four two one seven. What about jurisdiction, Joe, Waco and
- 3:08Speaker 3: Ruby Ridge are both within the US sphere of influence.
- 3:12Speaker 3: The FBI can go in there and get their search
- 3:15Speaker 3: on where is Epstein Island? Is it outside of US jurisprunes?
- 3:22Speaker 2: No.
- 3:23Speaker 3: See, there's the fun fact they're part of the US
- 3:25Speaker 3: Virgin Islands, which means it falls under US federal and
- 3:30Speaker 3: territorial laws, just like Waco, Texas does, with a little
- 3:34Speaker 3: bit more plane travel to get to it. So when
- 3:39Speaker 3: Janet Reno is the you know, the attorney general, and
- 3:45Speaker 3: Bill Clinton is the president, he's down there in the
- 3:47Speaker 3: hot tub allegedly, well we don't know when the pictures
- 3:51Speaker 3: were taken, but yeah, he's enjoying the hot tub pretty good.
- 3:57Speaker 3: And she's the attorney general and she's getting ports of
- 4:00Speaker 3: people saying that there's child pornography going on, and she
- 4:06Speaker 3: ignores it, but she'll raid Waco, Texas and Ruby Ridge.
- 4:15Speaker 3: What could possibly have changed? I have not seen any
- 4:18Speaker 3: pictures of Janet Reno at Epstein's Island. That would be
- 4:22Speaker 3: a surprise to me. Never struck me as the kind
- 4:25Speaker 3: of person who would be well. Then again, that Donali
- 4:28Speaker 3: Lama wasn't either. But our first things this morning. Yes,
- 4:32Speaker 3: much going on with the Epstein Island photographs. The photograph
- 4:38Speaker 3: of Donald Trump on Epstein Island has been returned to
- 4:42Speaker 3: the website carrying all the documents that were released. The
- 4:46Speaker 3: US Attorney for the Southern District of New York said
- 4:48Speaker 3: it had been taken down out of an abundance of
- 4:51Speaker 3: caution to make sure that additional victims may not have
- 4:55Speaker 3: been depicted in the picture. Minnesota is fraud christ may
- 5:00Speaker 3: go beyond the governor's mansion. Apparently, newsrooms were told, according
- 5:05Speaker 3: to Dustinngrage at town hall dot Com, that anytime they
- 5:09Speaker 3: had a story of fraud impacting programs for the Somali community,
- 5:14Speaker 3: they were told, we can't run that because we'll be
- 5:17Speaker 3: accused of being racist. Department of Homeland Security is denying
- 5:22Speaker 3: claims that the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Director Madhu Gadamakala failed
- 5:29Speaker 3: a polygraph test that he wasn't even required to take.
- 5:33Speaker 3: After career staffers in the agency told Gadamakala that he
- 5:37Speaker 3: needed this lie detector test to access top secret information
- 5:43Speaker 3: and cyber intelligence. An Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps missile exercise
- 5:51Speaker 3: that happened over the weekend is being warned as perhaps
- 5:54Speaker 3: cover for a larger attack on Israel coming from the
- 6:00Speaker 3: IDF Chief of Staff Lieutenant General el Zamir. White House
- 6:06Speaker 3: Envoy Steve Witkoff wrote on Sunday, productive and constructive talks
- 6:11Speaker 3: took place at Mari Lango with Ukrainian and European representatives
- 6:15Speaker 3: in an effort to quote stop the killing, insure guaranteed security,
- 6:20Speaker 3: and create conditions for Ukraine's recovery. The White House announced
- 6:25Speaker 3: President Trump is going to make a public announcement today
- 6:28Speaker 3: at four point thirty along with Secretary of War Pete
- 6:31Speaker 3: Hegseth and Secretary of the Navy John Falan. This as
- 6:36Speaker 3: Navy ships continue to chase down one of the ghost
- 6:40Speaker 3: tankers that had sailed from Venezuela. And those are some

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

- 9:58Speaker 12: Hiryboddy, I'm Jack. It's always a boy growing up on
- 10:01Speaker 12: a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals. I'm
- 10:04Speaker 12: not only in awe of their beauty and kindness, but
- 10:06Speaker 12: also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds
- 10:09Speaker 12: who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes who
- 10:12Speaker 12: work hard to provide for their young, or penguins who
- 10:15Speaker 12: travel up to five hundred miles to secure food for
- 10:18Speaker 12: their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows them
- 10:21Speaker 12: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
- 10:23Speaker 12: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
- 10:26Speaker 12: the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets at home,
- 10:30Speaker 12: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life
- 10:33Speaker 12: saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports.
- 10:36Speaker 12: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTSS.
- 10:39Speaker 12: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
- 10:42Speaker 12: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
- 10:44Speaker 12: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
- 10:47Speaker 12: in need. So please join me an American Humane and
- 10:50Speaker 12: supporting our heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals
- 10:53Speaker 12: on this planet we inhabit together. Go to American Humane

- 11:01Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 11:05Speaker 14: And now a speech.
- 11:07Speaker 15: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
- 11:10Speaker 15: heart and brain.
- 11:12Speaker 3: Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 13: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed.
- 11:15Speaker 16: And my brain is saying when it's time to go home.

- 11:24Speaker 1: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.

- 13:08Speaker 3: With the sounds absolutely quit.
- 13:11Speaker 2: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
- 13:20Speaker 3: So let me ask you if this sounds familiar at all,
- 13:25Speaker 3: And again, this is the Clinton administration, this is Janet reno,
- 13:30Speaker 3: and this is what many people faster than you can say,
- 13:36Speaker 3: Jerry Spence is entrapment. So let's say, let's just let's
- 13:41Speaker 3: make a hypothetical. Let's make let's say there's a group
- 13:45Speaker 3: of supporters of a political party and you put several
- 13:50Speaker 3: hundred FBI adjuncts out into the crowd, and then that
- 13:57Speaker 3: crowd gets encouraged to go into the US Capitol building
- 14:02Speaker 3: those hypothetically because their legislators are working in there, and
- 14:07Speaker 3: they want to make sure that they do what had
- 14:10Speaker 3: been done for time. In memorial on January sixth, after
- 14:14Speaker 3: a presidential election, you would have members in the Senate
- 14:17Speaker 3: and the House stand up and challenge various states votes
- 14:21Speaker 3: like Georgia where we just discovered three hundred and fifteen
- 14:25Speaker 3: thousand unsigned ballots and just Fulton County alone. Funny that
- 14:31Speaker 3: never got a chance to challenge Georgia's election results because
- 14:36Speaker 3: the FBI had convinced the protesters to come on in.
- 14:42Speaker 3: It's warm inside to your building. These people work for you.
- 14:51Speaker 3: Many people call that entrapment where somebody who had shown
- 14:56Speaker 3: no inclination to break the law is convinced to break
- 14:59Speaker 3: the law buy a government agent. Thus begins our story
- 15:04Speaker 3: in Ruby Ridge, is it Utah, No, it's Idaho, where
- 15:10Speaker 3: Randy Weaver was convinced by an FBI agent to saw
- 15:14Speaker 3: off a shotgun and then sell it to him. It's
- 15:18Speaker 3: not that Randy Weaver had sought off the shotgun and
- 15:21Speaker 3: was looking for somebody to buy it. No, the agent
- 15:26Speaker 3: brought the shotgun to Weaver and said he can you
- 15:36Speaker 3: saw this off for me? And then he did, and
- 15:43Speaker 3: that became the investigation that wound up in the standoff,
- 15:46Speaker 3: that wound up in the sniper fire, that wound up
- 15:49Speaker 3: with lots of family members getting shot because Randy Weaver
- 15:56Speaker 3: didn't appear for a warrant. But then the issue became
- 15:59Speaker 3: child wise, as they were children in the crowd. A
- 16:03Speaker 3: fourteen year old open fired, opened fire and was shot
- 16:07Speaker 3: in the back by marshals. None of these facts are
- 16:12Speaker 3: in question. He did fire, first, women were shot while
- 16:21Speaker 3: holding babies, and finally it was de escalated. But even
- 16:28Speaker 3: more so, the raid on the Branch Davidian compound was
- 16:33Speaker 3: driven because they were told David Koresh was doing weird
- 16:36Speaker 3: sex things in the compound to underage girls. Now this
- 16:44Speaker 3: was going on not two years before the first allegations
- 16:50Speaker 3: came out to the same Attorney General Reno was told, hey,
- 17:02Speaker 3: some bad stuff is going on at Epstein's island. He
- 17:06Speaker 3: owns this island, and there's creepy stuff going on here
- 17:15Speaker 3: and you need to look into it, and she didn't.
- 17:19Speaker 3: Could it have anything to do with the fact that
- 17:21Speaker 3: there's photographs of her boss, President William J. Clinton all
- 17:26Speaker 3: over the files from Jeffrey Epstein's private island. I'm just
- 17:34Speaker 3: pointing out that it seems like there's a double standard,
- 17:43Speaker 3: and that's all that needs to be brought up is
- 17:46Speaker 3: the double standard that falls onto law enforcement. And this
- 17:52Speaker 3: becomes why we become so convinced that there are two
- 18:05Speaker 3: tiers of justice and that the government is going out
- 18:08Speaker 3: after people like the Weavers who may or may not
- 18:13Speaker 3: have broken the law. That's regardless, he wasn't given a
- 18:21Speaker 3: good opportunity until after the fact when it was already
- 18:24Speaker 3: all over the news. Good luck finding a jury that
- 18:27Speaker 3: he had had this big shootout with dead fourteen year
- 18:31Speaker 3: old kids and stuff like that, and had been portrayed
- 18:35Speaker 3: in the national media as one of them crazy preppers
- 18:40Speaker 3: hidden up into the mountains. You know you're listening to
- 18:44Speaker 3: us in Sandpoint, Idaho. I'm not bringing this up to
- 18:48Speaker 3: be mean. I'm just saying, at the same time this
- 18:51Speaker 3: was going on Jeffrey Epstein was doing his things down
- 18:57Speaker 3: in the US Virgin Islands ironically named no you know,
- 19:03Speaker 3: but and yet there was no zeal from Janet Reno,
- 19:10Speaker 3: who had, without even involving any FBI agents, trying to
- 19:17Speaker 3: coerce criminal activity from Epstein, had women saying underage girls
- 19:24Speaker 3: were being used for pornography, and not even an inclination of, hey,
- 19:30Speaker 3: can we ask some questions. Nobody flew down there. Nobody
- 19:36Speaker 3: went to Jeffrey Epstein's office. Nobody asked Bill Clinton, Hey,
- 19:40Speaker 3: you're friends with this guy. He gave you a lot
- 19:42Speaker 3: of money for your campaign. Nobody in the news media
- 19:46Speaker 3: went on at five and said, we have allegations that
- 19:52Speaker 3: the president is involved in a porn ring. And of
- 19:55Speaker 3: course at that point, by nineteen ninety six, you know
- 19:58Speaker 3: the idea that Bill Clinton gee, really is that news anymore.
- 20:11Speaker 3: But this is why people believe that there are two
- 20:14Speaker 3: tiers of justice, Because when the police raid the Weaver
- 20:22Speaker 3: compound or the branch Davidians under the banner of we're
- 20:29Speaker 3: trying to protect the children, and they get actual charges
- 20:36Speaker 3: filed against Jeffrey Epstein, and they show no inclination at
- 20:40Speaker 3: all of investigating it, where is Janet Reno. These days,
- 20:48Speaker 3: we know Bill Clinton isn't in any hot tubs anymore,
- 20:51Speaker 3: at least not unless he's got those waterproof adult diapers.
- 20:56Speaker 3: I think Janet passed away some few years ago. I'm
- 21:01Speaker 3: sure there are officers with the yeah, twenty sixteen, she
- 21:08Speaker 3: passed away. Thank you, the research Department quick to say, yes,
- 21:12Speaker 3: you've been dead like ten years. But I'm sure there
- 21:17Speaker 3: were people in the Department of Justice at the time
- 21:20Speaker 3: who could be brought in front of Comer and the
- 21:26Speaker 3: rest of the Oversight Committee saying Okay. In nineteen ninety six,
- 21:29Speaker 3: when this allegation of problems that Epstein Island came along,
- 21:35Speaker 3: why didn't the FBI investigate? What did the president know?
- 21:42Speaker 3: And win? And I'm not just trying to drag the
- 21:45Speaker 3: president into this, but all weekend you listen to how
- 21:50Speaker 3: Donald Trump was leaning on Pam Bondi and Cash Patel.
- 21:57Speaker 3: Pardon me, it's the damaged aerial please, hey Brandt. And
- 22:02Speaker 3: her name is Shay I love.
- 22:04Speaker 18: She's a friend of mine who we were just praying
- 22:06Speaker 18: for because of a surgery. She just went through.
- 22:09Speaker 19: Yes, And I am very happy about something you actually
- 22:11Speaker 19: talk about all the time, which.
- 22:13Speaker 18: Is meta share.
- 22:14Speaker 19: That is right.
- 22:14Speaker 18: Yeah, So what was your experience like with meta share
- 22:17Speaker 18: and healthcare ability?
- 22:18Speaker 19: Honestly, brandt seamless and what a blessing that is. When
- 22:21Speaker 19: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was,
- 22:24Speaker 19: members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
- 22:27Speaker 19: me tell you, having people pray with you when you
- 22:30Speaker 19: call in with your need that is.

- 22:35Speaker 3: I keep telling people.
- 22:36Speaker 18: People love meda share and they love saving money. Typical
- 22:40Speaker 18: family can save five hundred dollars a month.
- 22:42Speaker 19: I am very thankful for meta share. It is so different,
- 22:46Speaker 19: and I mean different in a very very good way.
- 22:48Speaker 18: It is good different Call now. They're easy to talk

- 23:01Speaker 15: Hi. I'm doctor Michael Bailey, President of the American Veterinary
- 23:05Speaker 15: Medical Association. Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping
- 23:10Speaker 15: veterinarians deliver better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs
- 23:15Speaker 15: that speed up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases. AI
- 23:20Speaker 15: supports veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to

- 24:03Speaker 10: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 24:07Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 24:12Speaker 10: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18Speaker 10: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22Speaker 10: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26Speaker 10: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 10: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:42Speaker 10: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer and
- 24:45Speaker 10: in many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

- 28:11Speaker 2: The home of the First Amendment. First thing today.
- 28:31Speaker 3: The American Dream. You hear such things about it, right,
- 28:35Speaker 3: President Trump talking about the American Dream Act. One of
- 28:38Speaker 3: the folks who created the American Dream Act is on
- 28:41Speaker 3: with us. He's Congressman John Maguire. John. Good to hear
- 28:44Speaker 3: from you again, sir, How are you doing.
- 28:48Speaker 6: Good morning, Merry Christmas to you and your audience. I'm
- 28:51Speaker 6: never a dull moment in DC, but you know the
- 28:54Speaker 6: American Dream Act. I got the idea talking with a guy.
- 28:58Speaker 2: He's seventy two years old.
- 29:00Speaker 6: He has fifty five rental properties that value from two
- 29:03Speaker 6: hundred and fifty thousand dollars all the way up to
- 29:05Speaker 6: five hundred thousand dollars, and he refuses to sell those
- 29:09Speaker 6: properties even though he's getting later in life. So and
- 29:12Speaker 6: then I talked with young people all over the district,
- 29:15Speaker 6: maybe they graduated trade school or a university, and they
- 29:19Speaker 6: feel like the American dream is unattainable. So how do
- 29:22Speaker 6: we incentivize folks like that to sell their homes to
- 29:25Speaker 6: these first time buyers. So it used to be twenty
- 29:28Speaker 6: percent of home ownership in America was under age thirty two,
- 29:32Speaker 6: and now it's closer to one percent. And yeah, it's
- 29:36Speaker 6: really bad. So I called the present. I just picked
- 29:39Speaker 6: up the phone and reached out to President Trump, and
- 29:40Speaker 6: I said, you know, it's hard to be a socialist
- 29:43Speaker 6: if you own property, because very true, because well, socialism
- 29:49Speaker 6: and communism take property, and for socialism and communism have
- 29:53Speaker 6: killed hundreds and hundreds of million of people. It's terrible. And
- 29:56Speaker 6: so this basically I call it the American Dream Act,
- 29:59Speaker 6: and it helps young people attain a future. These young
- 30:02Speaker 6: people today are becoming lifelong renters. And when you talk
- 30:06Speaker 6: about the birth rate being down and families, you know,
- 30:10Speaker 6: we need to incentivize.
- 30:12Speaker 3: Rents are higher than mortgage payments now, so I mean,
- 30:15Speaker 3: if you can get into one, you're you're doing better.
- 30:18Speaker 3: Uh if you're I don't care where you live on
- 30:21Speaker 3: that rents are tracking higher than monthly mortgage payments. So
- 30:25Speaker 3: how does the American Dream Act work? John?
- 30:29Speaker 1: So?
- 30:29Speaker 6: It basically creates a five year more trying on capital gains.
- 30:34Speaker 6: So yeah, and then there's there's devils in the details.
- 30:37Speaker 6: But it says you can't sell your property to Black
- 30:40Speaker 6: Rock or a corporation, can't sell it to China or
- 30:43Speaker 6: a foreign nation. You have to sell it to an
- 30:45Speaker 6: American citizen, not a company. And you know, I think
- 30:49Speaker 6: what happens like, you know, you go down to a
- 30:51Speaker 6: different place in the country and you go to buy
- 30:54Speaker 6: a house and all of a sudden, somebody out of
- 30:57Speaker 6: nowhere jumps in and and outbid you and outbid you,
- 31:01Speaker 6: and a lot of time, a lot of times it's
- 31:03Speaker 6: big companies like black Rock, and so young people. Just so,
- 31:07Speaker 6: when I present this bill in Congress to sometimes there's
- 31:10Speaker 6: one hundred Democrat Republican congressmen and women in the audience,
- 31:14Speaker 6: and as I talk about this bill, they're young staffers
- 31:18Speaker 6: twenty five to thirty years old come up to me
- 31:19Speaker 6: all the time and say thank you for thinking about us.
- 31:24Speaker 6: And even around the district. When I go around the district,
- 31:26Speaker 6: I talk to young people, you know, they want to
- 31:29Speaker 6: start a family, and they're like, well, I got to
- 31:30Speaker 6: buy a house first. Well, I could never get the
- 31:33Speaker 6: down payment, or I can't afford a million dollar house
- 31:35Speaker 6: when I graduate Liberty University or UVA. But maybe they
- 31:40Speaker 6: can put their dollars together and get a two hundred
- 31:42Speaker 6: and fifty thousand dollar house.
- 31:43Speaker 3: Sure, any the starter home is that is the American
- 31:47Speaker 3: dreams by you know, buy that one room, you know,
- 31:50Speaker 3: bungalow and start there.
- 31:54Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 31:54Speaker 6: Yeah, there's a twenty four year old young girl in
- 31:57Speaker 6: this district. He bought a home at twenty four years old.
- 31:59Speaker 6: Her parents kind of incentive, you know, just kind of
- 32:01Speaker 6: pushed her and she's like, that's my travel money. But
- 32:04Speaker 6: she bought a home, and I four or five years
- 32:05Speaker 6: later she said it's the best decision she ever made.
- 32:09Speaker 6: Everything in her life lined up and she's ahead of
- 32:11Speaker 6: all of her peers.
- 32:12Speaker 2: It's so very rare.
- 32:14Speaker 3: So when you say there's a cap on federal game
- 32:17Speaker 3: of the taxes on selling a house capital gains. So,
- 32:21Speaker 3: is there a way to help somebody get the down
- 32:24Speaker 3: payment money for this as well in this or is
- 32:27Speaker 3: it just protect the seller from getting hammered with capital
- 32:31Speaker 3: gains taxes if they sell it to one of these
- 32:33Speaker 3: qualified home buyers.
- 32:36Speaker 6: Well, this particular bill incentivizes people near the end of
- 32:39Speaker 6: life to sell this property they've accumulated throughout their lifetime
- 32:44Speaker 6: and give the American dream back to gen z people
- 32:47Speaker 6: under age thirty two is the goal. However, I had
- 32:50Speaker 6: a meeting with James Blair last week. He's one of
- 32:52Speaker 6: the biggest advisors to President Trump. I talk to President Trump,
- 32:56Speaker 6: I talked to Mike Johnson. I'm talking to everybody as
- 32:58Speaker 6: we've been tweaking this bill, and he also has a
- 33:01Speaker 6: down payment bill piece of legislation that they're working on.
- 33:05Speaker 6: So it's a multi prong approach to making you know,
- 33:10Speaker 6: life more affordable, and you know, life is becoming more
- 33:13Speaker 6: affordable thanks to President Trump.
- 33:15Speaker 3: Well, in this administration, a lot of things have come down.
- 33:18Speaker 3: You know, I love the fact that they run out
- 33:20Speaker 3: to the grocery store and a lot of the produce
- 33:22Speaker 3: hasn't come down yet because they haven't loosened up the
- 33:25Speaker 3: natural gas to make the fertilizer. Fertilizer costs quadrupled under
- 33:30Speaker 3: the previous administration, and they're still saying, well, you know,
- 33:34Speaker 3: because farmers had to buy this fertilizer at Biden rates,
- 33:39Speaker 3: which was quadruple what it would have cost, and you
- 33:42Speaker 3: can't grow anything without it. And I didn't even realize
- 33:45Speaker 3: you needed natural gas to make to make the fertilizer
- 33:50Speaker 3: for these big farms. And that's a lot of fertilizer
- 33:54Speaker 3: you're talking about, you know, quadrupling the acreage of something,
- 33:58Speaker 3: and that's where your food costs are. Gas prices are
- 34:01Speaker 3: down a dollar from this point last year. There are
- 34:05Speaker 3: a lot of things that are less expensive than they were.
- 34:08Speaker 3: We got ways to go. It's only been eleven months,
- 34:10Speaker 3: all right, John.
- 34:12Speaker 6: Yeah, but we're doing it. I'm telling you. A constituent
- 34:16Speaker 6: sent me a photograph from the circle k in Roanoke
- 34:20Speaker 6: on December seventh. It was a dollar eighty nine. And
- 34:23Speaker 6: I saw a newspaper article this morning said gas prices
- 34:26Speaker 6: are lower than they've been since twenty twenty. But we
- 34:29Speaker 6: have the one big beautiful bill where are lower in taxes. Really,
- 34:34Speaker 6: it's going to kick in in the spring of twenty six.
- 34:36Speaker 6: But we have trillions of dollars coming into our country.
- 34:40Speaker 6: In the fifth congressional district. I've negotiated with CEOs for
- 34:44Speaker 6: almost twelve months now, and we're looking at seven major
- 34:48Speaker 6: companies coming here to almost twenty billion dollars of investment,
- 34:53Speaker 6: almost seven thousand high paying jobs. And this wasn't happening
- 34:59Speaker 6: over the last twenty thirty years. Like it's the economy
- 35:02Speaker 6: is turned around, it takes takes a while to get
- 35:04Speaker 6: that get there. And I just hope the American voters
- 35:07Speaker 6: are paying attention. I hope they're patient, and I hope
- 35:11Speaker 6: they don't decide to give it, don't get the keys
- 35:13Speaker 6: the car back to the people that wrecked our economy
- 35:16Speaker 6: in the midterms.
- 35:16Speaker 3: Well, and that's going to be the key, because the midterms,
- 35:19Speaker 3: who knows, you know, if Virginia, where you are from redistricts,
- 35:24Speaker 3: you might not find out what your district looks like
- 35:26Speaker 3: until June or July, and you're going to try to
- 35:29Speaker 3: run a reelection campaign. And I just penned a column
- 35:33Speaker 3: for The Daily Signal. Yes, Virginia, you elected Santa Claus.
- 35:37Speaker 3: So this sounds much more like a real way to
- 35:39Speaker 3: make things more affordable and to help people develop wealth
- 35:43Speaker 3: over time. John, I appreciate where can people read the
- 35:46Speaker 3: whole thing?
- 35:47Speaker 6: Well, we are still it should be all over the
- 35:50Speaker 6: news and everything in January. I'm just prepping the battlefield
- 35:54Speaker 6: to let people know that it's common. Oh okay, Son,
- 35:57Speaker 6: We're getting everybody on board. We've got to big meeting
- 36:00Speaker 6: with a bunch of the staffers from the administration everybody
- 36:03Speaker 6: right after Christmas. But it's a January thing. But I'm
- 36:06Speaker 6: trying to giving everybody heads up that's coming. Also, the
- 36:09Speaker 6: President talked about it when he addressed the nation a
- 36:12Speaker 6: few days ago, So I'm like, okay, I bet I've
- 36:14Speaker 6: better let people know what's coming. And it's getting people excited.
- 36:18Speaker 3: Well, I appreciate. Yeah, I appreciate your visit, John, and
- 36:22Speaker 3: good luck on doing that. Home Ownership is the one
- 36:25Speaker 3: thing that makes communities great. Even Jimmy Carter got that
- 36:28Speaker 3: back in the Community reint Reinvestment Act of he was
- 36:33Speaker 3: seventy eight seventy nine. Bill Clinton ruined that one too,
- 36:36Speaker 3: But you have a great morning, sir, and thank you
- 36:38Speaker 3: for checking in.
- 36:39Speaker 6: All right, Merry Christmas, Thank you, Boba.
- 36:41Speaker 3: Matt is on the line at four three four eight
- 36:44Speaker 3: eight two four two one seven. Good morning, Matt. What's
- 36:46Speaker 3: on your mind, sir?
- 36:48Speaker 8: Well, I'm getting frustrated with Tim Kaine.
- 36:54Speaker 3: But after all these years you had, you had hopes
- 36:58Speaker 3: you are you are a Pollyanna, aren't you.
- 37:02Speaker 8: I never had hopes for him. But what frustrates me
- 37:06Speaker 8: in this is that he's saying, well, yeah, okay, there
- 37:10Speaker 8: are pictures of Bill Clinton. I'm sure he has an explanation.
- 37:13Speaker 8: But Trump, Trump, there must be something we can get
- 37:17Speaker 8: him on.
- 37:18Speaker 3: Yeah, must be. It's it's so funny. And when you
- 37:22Speaker 3: do the timeline and then you get this young lady's
- 37:26Speaker 3: story of her and her sisters and the child pornography
- 37:30Speaker 3: that was being created down there, and the fact that
- 37:32Speaker 3: they went to Janet Reno's FBI not you know, a
- 37:36Speaker 3: year and a half after Waco when we when we
- 37:39Speaker 3: stormed a compound because of child abuse allegations and she
- 37:44Speaker 3: turned a blind eye. You know, call me crazy, call
- 37:48Speaker 3: me jaded, Say it's oxygen deprivation because of my sinus issues.
- 37:52Speaker 3: Whatever it might be, But I that dog to me.

- 44:40Speaker 3: Rock Hudson Summer Friends Zummers Night episode. Image in a
- 44:45Speaker 3: cracked mirror.
- 44:49Speaker 8: Is that?
- 44:49Speaker 3: It? Is it an image in a cracked mirror? Is
- 44:52Speaker 3: that the episode of the FBI where at Matt was
- 44:55Speaker 3: on the aligne with us. We're talking about the fact
- 44:57Speaker 3: that the FBI in nineteen ninety six had people coming
- 45:00Speaker 3: to them saying there's dirty stuff going on on Epstein Island.
- 45:04Speaker 3: And this I appreciate this because it's a contrarian view,
- 45:11Speaker 3: Susan writes into JT in the Morning Radio at gmail
- 45:14Speaker 3: dot com. Could it have been Joe the dramatic and
- 45:19Speaker 3: over the top response to Ruby Ridge and Waco that
- 45:24Speaker 3: not only led Timothy McVeigh to blow up the Murrah
- 45:27Speaker 3: Building later on, but might have been why Janet Reno
- 45:30Speaker 3: didn't seem too interested in doing it again. I mean,
- 45:38Speaker 3: it's a reasonable thought, had they become so politically frightened
- 45:45Speaker 3: by actually trying to enforce law, especially given you know,
- 45:52Speaker 3: David Koresh and Randy Weaver had no political cloud, not
- 45:56Speaker 3: the way that Jeffrey Epstein did. I mean, yeah, that's
- 46:04Speaker 3: that's the thing that I think a lot of people
- 46:06Speaker 3: are looking at this story saying hmm, and but you're right, Susan,
- 46:12Speaker 3: that there could very well be a point where the
- 46:15Speaker 3: FBI said, ah, we're not doing this again, could be
- 46:20Speaker 3: said I've told you before. Sometimes the mundane uh is
- 46:23Speaker 3: the reasonable answer.
- 46:24Speaker 8: Matt Again, I think this is more evidence that the
- 46:30Speaker 8: FBI cannot be reformed, it must be abolished.
- 46:36Speaker 3: I you know, I so do you create I mean,
- 46:39Speaker 3: each state police division has an investigative department, So do
- 46:45Speaker 3: you just turn all these things over to the FBI.
- 46:49Speaker 3: And and of course the allegation is always, well, that's
- 46:52Speaker 3: how these things will fall through the cracks, because one
- 46:55Speaker 3: agency doesn't tell the other agency what they're doing. It
- 46:59Speaker 3: was the whole excuse of September eleventh is that the
- 47:03Speaker 3: CIA knew about Mohammad Atad, but they didn't tell the FBI,
- 47:07Speaker 3: and they couldn't do anything because it was inside the
- 47:09Speaker 3: United States. And oh, my gosh, your eyes start to
- 47:12Speaker 3: tear or bleed. I'm not sure there's liquid coming out
- 47:15Speaker 3: of my eyes somewhere.
- 47:16Speaker 8: Matt Well, I think it has less to do with
- 47:21Speaker 8: the incompetence of the bureaucracy and more to do with
- 47:27Speaker 8: the idea that I'm coming around to view the FBI
- 47:31Speaker 8: as a malignant institution within the government, and you basically
- 47:38Speaker 8: don't negotiate with cancer cells.
- 47:41Speaker 3: Listen, you guys have the spleen. We want to keep
- 47:44Speaker 3: all the other organs, and you know we'll be good
- 47:47Speaker 3: with it. But so where did the malignancy come from?
- 47:50Speaker 3: And I'm not saying to heal the host per se,
- 47:54Speaker 3: but you know, if we go away from this and
- 47:56Speaker 3: we dismantle the operations of this federal unconstitutional law enforcement
- 48:03Speaker 3: department because it's not there in the Constitution anymore than
- 48:07Speaker 3: the idea that Tim Kane gets to have a vote
- 48:10Speaker 3: every time the president wants to go after a drug dealer,
- 48:14Speaker 3: he already did. He's just conveniently misremembera find. But what
- 48:18Speaker 3: do we what do we have to do to stop
- 48:21Speaker 3: this from happening again? Because law enforcement, I mean, the
- 48:25Speaker 3: siren song is, hey, I've got a police department. I
- 48:29Speaker 3: can go after my enemies with it. Yeah.
- 48:33Speaker 8: And this this goes back to I mean, this isn't
- 48:37Speaker 8: didn't start with James Comy. I mean this goes back
- 48:40Speaker 8: to Jay Edgar.
- 48:40Speaker 3: Hoover perhaps even further than that.
- 48:44Speaker 8: Yeah, And it's and again it is human nature. You
- 48:51Speaker 8: create something that is powerful and then you lose control
- 48:55Speaker 8: of it.
- 48:58Speaker 3: And he and again this this gets.
- 48:59Speaker 8: Back to the idea that you can't have the Bill
- 49:03Speaker 8: of Rights without the Ten Commandments.
- 49:05Speaker 3: Well, but also this may be why we didn't have
- 49:08Speaker 3: a division of the US Constitution laying out a federal
- 49:12Speaker 3: investigative force.
- 49:16Speaker 8: Yeah, it becomes the founding fathers did not like the
- 49:21Speaker 8: idea of a standing army, and the FBI is essentially
- 49:28Speaker 8: a standing army within the government that punishes the government's enemies,
- 49:35Speaker 8: whether it's Donald Trump or Randy Weaver.
- 49:38Speaker 3: Well, it's like I said last week, you know, when
- 49:40Speaker 3: the government becomes what we're defending, not the United States,
- 49:43Speaker 3: that's that's the problem is that, you know, defend the
- 49:47Speaker 3: United States. Yes, the defend the United States government from
- 49:52Speaker 3: you know, whatever the American citizens might find out. That's
- 49:55Speaker 3: when the problems start.
- 49:57Speaker 8: Well, and again, when you go back to the creation
- 50:01Speaker 8: and the Constitution, the point of the Constitution is to
- 50:08Speaker 8: limit the federal government. It is to limit the power
- 50:14Speaker 8: of the federal government because the founders understood that a
- 50:20Speaker 8: strong central government will eventually turn on the people.
- 50:27Speaker 3: Well, and that's you know, Matt, the part and parcel
- 50:30Speaker 3: of when you look at the Bill of Rights and
- 50:33Speaker 3: you know, one of the problems the Virginia Delegation had
- 50:36Speaker 3: with the US Constitution as it was proposed is Virginia's constitution.
- 50:40Speaker 3: From the drop the very first words of Virginia's state
- 50:45Speaker 3: constitution is the Bill of Rights, is the bill of
- 50:49Speaker 3: rights of the citizens and the promise that the government
- 50:53Speaker 3: is going to protect those rights. So when they saw
- 50:59Speaker 3: this centralized government without those firewalls, George Mason, Patrick, Henry Vocifhrus,
- 51:07Speaker 3: James Monroe all turned on James Madison and this idea
- 51:12Speaker 3: of a centralized government because they were like, this is
- 51:16Speaker 3: exactly what we just fought off. And that's why I
- 51:19Speaker 3: find it interesting that if you go back to the
- 51:22Speaker 3: original proposed Bill of Rights, there were twelve and the
- 51:28Speaker 3: first most important of the Bill of Rights provisos was
- 51:35Speaker 3: to guarantee that congressional districts did not grow so large
- 51:40Speaker 3: as that the individual citizens within them would grow too small.
- 51:46Speaker 3: It provides that the largest population for a congressional district
- 51:52Speaker 3: would be fifty thousand people. I think there were fewer
- 51:58Speaker 3: people at the Redskins game, right Commander's game last week,
- 52:02Speaker 3: but that's your capacity, right. You can get to that
- 52:06Speaker 3: twice as many people show up for the Ohio State
- 52:09Speaker 3: University Games. So if we look at how they have
- 52:18Speaker 3: pulled the government away from our hands, we can fix
- 52:24Speaker 3: it by going back to the things that we had
- 52:27Speaker 3: already in place. We don't need to go and create
- 52:31Speaker 3: something out of whole cloth or loincloth, as in the
- 52:35Speaker 3: case of Bill Clinton. Anyway, thank you for allowing us.
- 52:38Speaker 3: Thank you for indulging me in my lack of ability
- 52:41Speaker 3: to take a deep breath. Tomorrow, I hope to be
- 52:43Speaker 3: better for all of us here at the Talk Media Network.
