- 2:50Speaker 7: there staring at the radio.
- 2:51Speaker 4: Saying you do this for four hours?
- 2:55Speaker 7: Yeah, we do, and it's different every five seconds. It
- 2:58Speaker 7: seems like you never know, like the proverbial box of chocolates.
- 3:04Speaker 7: So open them up and let us bask and as
- 3:07Speaker 7: you can find out stuff we got into after the
- 3:09Speaker 7: program ended there and of course getting prepped for our

- 3:37Speaker 7: for a second, because we must, as I promised, tell

- 3:45Speaker 7: of an MIT professor and the shooting into a test
- 3:49Speaker 7: taking classroom at Brown University were connected. The shooter was

- 5:04Speaker 7: not need congressional approval to carry out ground strikes against Venezuela,
- 5:09Speaker 7: pushing back against critics that argue he has already stretched
- 5:12Speaker 7: his constitutional authority with military actions in the sea. The
- 5:18Speaker 7: President also Thursday signed into law a nearly one trillion
- 5:23Speaker 7: dollar defense policy bill. The bill that comes in at
- 5:26Speaker 7: nine hundred and one billion dollars in annual military spending
- 5:31Speaker 7: for the ndaat twenty twenty six, expansion and reauthorization of it,
- 5:37Speaker 7: and an eight billion dollar increase to what the president
- 5:41Speaker 7: wanted in defense spending. There's frustration over the Department of
- 5:46Speaker 7: Justice racing to redact thousands of pages of records tied
- 5:51Speaker 7: to financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a head of
- 5:56Speaker 7: congressionally mandated deadlines on releasing the document today. CNN reports
- 6:02Speaker 7: that the Department lawyers are under intense pressure. Each are

- 7:59Speaker 10: Forty Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the
- 8:07Speaker 10: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 10: I'm 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.
- 8:31Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:36Speaker 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

- 10:01Speaker 12: up on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 12: I'm not only in all of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 12: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:08Speaker 12: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes

- 10:15Speaker 12: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 10:17Speaker 12: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21Speaker 12: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 10:23Speaker 12: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 10:25Speaker 12: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 10:29Speaker 12: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 10:32Speaker 12: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
- 10:35Speaker 12: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
- 10:38Speaker 12: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
- 10:41Speaker 12: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
- 10:44Speaker 12: variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
- 10:46Speaker 12: help those in need. So please join me an American

- 12:32Speaker 17: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
- 12:35Speaker 17: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased

- 13:17Speaker 3: Is he's coming home this Christmas Day?
- 13:33Speaker 2: Oh?
- 13:34Speaker 7: Sure, it would be easy for me to blame the
- 13:36Speaker 7: Trans Siberian Orchestra or my best friend in the world
- 13:40Speaker 7: for keeping me out last night at the IBS Arena
- 13:43Speaker 7: in Queens, but I won't do that. I'll just blame
- 13:47Speaker 7: the fact that my brain is hyped up on adrenaline
- 13:50Speaker 7: and my mouth didn't get the memo, And so it's
- 13:53Speaker 7: one that's moving faster.
- 13:54Speaker 4: Than the other.
- 13:55Speaker 7: We're trying to get some equilibrium going here.
- 13:59Speaker 4: And I mentioned tour dates still.
- 14:01Speaker 7: Going on within the Sound of our Voice, Dallas, Chicago,
- 14:05Speaker 7: San Antonio. I know we've given away some tickets to
- 14:08Speaker 7: the Chicago show at the All State Arena on December
- 14:13Speaker 7: twenty sixth. Yes, I know that's after Christmas. It's okay,
- 14:16Speaker 7: it's called Boxing Day there, but Saint Louis coming up
- 14:22Speaker 7: there Philadelphia as well. San Antonio is on the twenty first,
- 14:27Speaker 7: Dallas is on the twentieth. For you guys listening in
- 14:31Speaker 7: those two places. The Chicago show, like I said, is
- 14:35Speaker 7: the twenty sixth for those who get the common sense
- 14:38Speaker 7: like Lake Effect snow coming blasting over you each morning
- 14:43Speaker 7: there and finishing up in Minneapolis, and I we gave
- 14:47Speaker 7: away tickets to that on December twenty eighth, as well
- 14:50Speaker 7: as for you folks listening Kadiz if you're in the
- 14:54Speaker 7: listening to us on our newest affiliate out there in Beaumont, Texas.
- 14:58Speaker 7: Houston also coming up in that tech this swing of
- 15:01Speaker 7: there's so much I wanted to get into in and
- 15:05Speaker 7: amongst the stumbling and fumbling, obviously it's Epstein Day and
- 15:10Speaker 7: a lot of folks are making hay of this whole
- 15:13Speaker 7: Lincoln Center on that Lincoln Kennedy Center name change as
- 15:17Speaker 7: a distraction from what's not going to get released the
- 15:22Speaker 7: in the Epstein files as they still try to keep
- 15:25Speaker 7: up with all the black magic marker necessary to redact
- 15:28Speaker 7: everything they can and transparency this came up earlier in
- 15:34Speaker 7: the week as well as a local government was in
- 15:37Speaker 7: court facing the NAACP just finished up. The trial actually
- 15:42Speaker 7: made national news. You probably heard about the Shenandoah County
- 15:46Speaker 7: School Division that first in twenty twenty in the spasm
- 15:50Speaker 7: of everybody trying to forget the old Civil Wars. That way,
- 15:53Speaker 7: we wouldn't notice when it flared back up again. They
- 15:59Speaker 7: in twenty twenty five four brought back the names of
- 16:02Speaker 7: Stonewall Jackson High School and Ashby Lee Middle School. Now,
- 16:07Speaker 7: the NAACP says five Honors Role students were gravely impacted
- 16:14Speaker 7: in their academic pursuits because of those name changes. Yes
- 16:18Speaker 7: I did say Honor Roll and above student season. But
- 16:24Speaker 7: in this they are arguing and they have used the
- 16:29Speaker 7: judge has allowed something called legislative privilege. If you remember
- 16:34Speaker 7: a famous moment when Ronald Reagan was debating George H. W.
- 16:38Speaker 7: Bush for the Republican nomination and the chair of the
- 16:42Speaker 7: party said he wasn't allowed to talk.
- 16:44Speaker 4: His answer was, say it with me. I'm paying for
- 16:48Speaker 4: this microphone, mister chairman.
- 16:51Speaker 7: And so you're paying these boobs to do your work
- 16:56Speaker 7: for you.
- 16:56Speaker 4: These are your representatives.
- 16:58Speaker 7: And yet while they do the things that they want
- 17:00Speaker 7: to do in these offices. They claim that they can
- 17:04Speaker 7: redact their work while they work for you. We see
- 17:08Speaker 7: it time and time and again. Somebody asks, Hey, how
- 17:11Speaker 7: much are you paying that new county supervisor?
- 17:14Speaker 4: Oh, we don't comment.
- 17:15Speaker 7: It's a violation of county law about a human resources issue.
- 17:20Speaker 4: Hey I'm paying for this microphone. I'm the employer.
- 17:26Speaker 7: It's the same attitude they had on January sixth of
- 17:28Speaker 7: twenty twenty one when they said, Hey, I know this
- 17:31Speaker 7: office building technically belongs to you, but you're not allowed
- 17:34Speaker 7: in it anymore. Huh transparency? Do you hear the most
- 17:42Speaker 7: ridiculous lies about it? Doctor Clark is on the ligne
- 17:46Speaker 7: with us, perhaps coming to my rescue. Given the stumbling
- 17:50Speaker 7: and fumbling that we open the program with, I think
- 17:52Speaker 7: we're doing better. The brain and tongue seem to be
- 17:55Speaker 7: working it close to the same speed. Now, what's on
- 17:58Speaker 7: your mind this morning, doctor Clark?
- 18:01Speaker 1: You open the show Joe with Buford tea justice. What
- 18:06Speaker 1: we have here is a complete lack of respect for
- 18:10Speaker 1: the law. Now, Joe, I know you're sleep deprived. I'll
- 18:13Speaker 1: help you out. How do you get respect?
- 18:16Speaker 4: Hmm? Could it be your behavior.
- 18:21Speaker 1: It sounds like learn but take the l off. You
- 18:25Speaker 1: earn respect, how do you get trust?
- 18:27Speaker 10: Joe?
- 18:28Speaker 1: The answer is the same one you earn trust. I'm sorry, Joe,
- 18:35Speaker 1: but these people ain't been racking up many Brownie points
- 18:39Speaker 1: with me lately.
- 18:39Speaker 4: I don't know about.
- 18:40Speaker 1: You, but no, sorry. Let's see Brown University. Yep, all
- 18:47Speaker 1: the cameras simultaneously malfunction and like you, apparently the police
- 18:55Speaker 1: were sleep deprived and we're all taking a nap. The
- 19:00Speaker 1: president of Brown University, who makes you.
- 19:03Speaker 15: Know how much she makes?
- 19:04Speaker 3: Today?
- 19:04Speaker 1: Joe, take a guess how much a day?
- 19:08Speaker 4: Ten thousand dollars?
- 19:10Speaker 1: Twelve thousand dollars a day?
- 19:16Speaker 6: Do you know who the.
- 19:17Speaker 1: Students were in there? I don't know how many students
- 19:22Speaker 1: were there?
- 19:23Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Well, where was security when the guy nered the building?
- 19:28Speaker 1: I don't know. The woman makes twelve thousand dollars a day,
- 19:32Speaker 1: and that's her best answer. Somehow they managed to hire
- 19:36Speaker 1: Chief Wigham away from Springfield, wherever the Simpsons live, and
- 19:43Speaker 1: now the guys committed suicide in a storage facility. Apparently
- 19:49Speaker 1: shot e Tell twice in the back of the.
- 19:51Speaker 4: Count Oh did he do? A Vince sponsor I didn't.
- 19:56Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Joe. If they want a lot of respect,
- 20:00Speaker 1: they're going to have to earn it, and they're going
- 20:02Speaker 1: to have to really work hard because they're starting a
- 20:06Speaker 1: long ways off and Q open with that. I'm going
- 20:11Speaker 1: to have to buy more tenfol because you're definitely getting
- 20:14Speaker 1: my brainwaves somehow.
- 20:15Speaker 7: Well, you know, here's the thing about respect fold at all,
- 20:19Speaker 7: is that one of the problems with law enforcement today,
- 20:24Speaker 7: and it's not the law enforcement officers, it's that iron
- 20:27Speaker 7: law of bureaucracy. It's the ten percent who it's more
- 20:30Speaker 7: important to be the bureaucracy than to actually function in
- 20:34Speaker 7: the processes that were laid out for them. So in
- 20:37Speaker 7: law enforcement now we have a political agenda. Most police
- 20:41Speaker 7: chiefs are appointed by someone. Most university professors are appointed
- 20:47Speaker 7: by someone's appointees to the boards of trustees or visitors
- 20:51Speaker 7: to the universities. These are political positions, so therefore they
- 20:56Speaker 7: administer their offices with a political mind, not not thinking
- 21:01Speaker 7: in terms of hey, I'm supposed to catch the bad
- 21:03Speaker 7: guys so that people learn not to commit crime anymore.
- 21:07Speaker 7: They're thinking, how can I keep my boss, the mayor
- 21:11Speaker 7: or the governor that appointed the board of trustees from
- 21:14Speaker 7: looking bad because they've taken on this mantra of we
- 21:18Speaker 7: can protect you somehow from the criminal element.
- 21:22Speaker 4: It's a lie. They know it's a lie, but they continue.
- 21:25Speaker 7: To manifest it and try to live under it. So
- 21:29Speaker 7: of course they're not going to have your trust because
- 21:32Speaker 7: they're lying to you. Because now they're caught out there,
- 21:35Speaker 7: some agent of misfortune comes in here who apparently got
- 21:40Speaker 7: in through a DHS loophole, and of course nobody's looking
- 21:46Speaker 7: at who opened the loophole for the guy to sneak
- 21:50Speaker 7: into the country to do. And you know, with all
- 21:53Speaker 7: this knowledge and apparently access to his storage locker, we
- 21:57Speaker 7: have no clue as to why he wanted to go
- 22:00Speaker 7: on the shootings.
- 22:01Speaker 18: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National League training for Planet

- 22:07Speaker 18: get at least one hundred and fifty minutes of moderate
- 22:10Speaker 18: aerobic activity in a week's time. But here's the thing
- 22:13Speaker 18: that one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to
- 22:15Speaker 18: be super intense. As a matter of fact, it could
- 22:18Speaker 18: just be you moving your body and doing what you
- 22:20Speaker 18: already love to do, like exercise, and a stronger heart
- 22:23Speaker 18: doesn't just mean cardio, right, it means also infusing your

- 24:07Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 24:12Speaker 10: am 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
- 24:35Speaker 10: inflammation has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can
- 24:41Speaker 10: prevent cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer,
- 24:45Speaker 10: and in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects

- 28:18Speaker 2: by Joe Thomas.
- 28:19Speaker 7: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
- 28:21Speaker 7: on this Friday morning, getting ready to the penultimate Christmas
- 28:27Speaker 7: cramming session. Unless you're a lawyer for the Department of Justice,
- 28:31Speaker 7: and then you don't have time to do any Christmas shopping.
- 28:33Speaker 7: Hopefully you thought ahead and said I'm going to be
- 28:36Speaker 7: busy the Friday before Christmas redacting documents, and doctor Clark
- 28:42Speaker 7: was on the line with us when we ran into
- 28:44Speaker 7: the news at the bottom of the hour, talking about
- 28:46Speaker 7: all the things that apparently we don't know about this
- 28:50Speaker 7: assassin that went into Brown University and then drove up
- 28:54Speaker 7: to Mit to kill a professor there. But to me,
- 29:00Speaker 7: as I said, going into the news, we have a
- 29:03Speaker 7: storage locker full of stuff. What are they finding in
- 29:07Speaker 7: their Clark no clue.
- 29:08Speaker 1: None whatsoever. Dead men tell no tales.
- 29:12Speaker 7: Yeah, but this storage locker's got to be full of
- 29:14Speaker 7: stuff that might, oh, I don't know, give you some
- 29:17Speaker 7: indication of what his intentions were and why he came
- 29:20Speaker 7: to them.
- 29:22Speaker 1: One would think, now.
- 29:25Speaker 7: What if you weren't, if you weren't worried about keeping
- 29:27Speaker 7: your political boss from looking bad, would think anyway, Yes.
- 29:33Speaker 1: Now, we're redacting stuff at a rapid right on the
- 29:37Speaker 1: Epstein stuff. So the only thing they've got to redact
- 29:41Speaker 1: is whatever has not been shredded, smashed with a hammer,
- 29:46Speaker 1: or white with a cloth in the last ten to fifteen.
- 29:49Speaker 4: Years, and apparently that's voluminous.
- 29:54Speaker 1: I refuse to believe that they didn't start doing this
- 29:59Speaker 1: quite some time ago. Oh this is the deadline. We
- 30:04Speaker 1: better start redacting right now.
- 30:06Speaker 7: Well, unless these kids you know, are still like I
- 30:09Speaker 7: was in high school. Oh crap, the test is on Friday.
- 30:13Speaker 7: I better go cram for it. But your point about
- 30:17Speaker 7: the Epstein files herein lies the problem. So much has
- 30:21Speaker 7: come out of the Epstein files already. I don't know
- 30:25Speaker 7: how much it is going to be, you know, news,
- 30:28Speaker 7: except oh, I don't know who was he working for?
- 30:31Speaker 7: What were his pay stumps? How about we keep it simple?
- 30:34Speaker 7: Can we just see who paid the bills? We don't
- 30:37Speaker 7: care particularly who was on the plane. From what I understand,
- 30:41Speaker 7: the Dalai Lama at one point was on the plane. Okay,
- 30:45Speaker 7: that's weird, but you know fine, I want to know
- 30:48Speaker 7: who was paying for the airplane. I want to know
- 30:51Speaker 7: who his angel investors were, if you will.
- 30:55Speaker 4: That's it.
- 30:55Speaker 7: That's a pretty simple thing, don't you think, doctor Cork.
- 30:58Speaker 7: We don't need to know all the other stuff.
- 31:00Speaker 1: I do think. Now here's the thing. The ultimate reduction
- 31:04Speaker 1: in the Epstein files took place when security cameras failed
- 31:10Speaker 1: and the overwar guards took a nap Okay.
- 31:13Speaker 4: Hold that this is sounding familiar?
- 31:16Speaker 1: Yeah, that's when the big redaction took place.
- 31:20Speaker 7: Is that what we're going what happened being suicided is
- 31:25Speaker 7: now the big redaction. I like that we should make
- 31:28Speaker 7: a movie reaction starring John Cusack as Jeffrey Epstein.
- 31:35Speaker 4: So here's the thing.
- 31:39Speaker 1: They're going to release stuff. But the same people that
- 31:44Speaker 1: brought us cross fire, hurricane, an Arctic frost. I've had
- 31:51Speaker 1: control of this information for as long as they've had
- 31:55Speaker 1: control of it, and what they released is going to
- 31:59Speaker 1: be what they want to release.
- 32:03Speaker 4: Now.
- 32:03Speaker 1: It will damage people on both sides, but it will
- 32:09Speaker 1: only damage the people that they want to damage.
- 32:12Speaker 4: But doctor Clark's rid.
- 32:14Speaker 1: Of somebody on the left. They'll release information on them, but.
- 32:19Speaker 4: They could have, as you.
- 32:21Speaker 1: Said, somebody on the right with They'll use that.
- 32:24Speaker 7: But they could have anytime in the last fifteen years.
- 32:27Speaker 7: So you know, that's that's almost it's almost become passe
- 32:32Speaker 7: to think about, you know, what damage it could cause
- 32:34Speaker 7: on somebody. The person it's going to damage is the
- 32:38Speaker 7: US government, just like knowing what happened at the Wuhan
- 32:41Speaker 7: Institute of Virology.
- 32:44Speaker 1: So yes, if I have information that I can use
- 32:48Speaker 1: to extort blackmail you with, if I release that information,
- 32:54Speaker 1: it loses its power.
- 32:58Speaker 7: So you're thinking that there are still people well being
- 33:00Speaker 7: extorted and blackmailed off of something that hasn't happened in
- 33:04Speaker 7: fifteen years.
- 33:05Speaker 1: I have no idea what policies that sape our lives
- 33:12Speaker 1: have been influenced by what was in that stuff? Is
- 33:15Speaker 1: Obamacare attacks because of Epstein? I don't know.
- 33:19Speaker 7: Maybe, Yeah, I don't know what new Patriot Act surveillance
- 33:26Speaker 7: techniques have been added because somebody got on the wrong
- 33:30Speaker 7: plane at the wrong time.
- 33:32Speaker 1: How many votes do you have to sway to get
- 33:34Speaker 1: something passed? Not that many, A lot of times, right?
- 33:38Speaker 7: How many times do you have to look the other
- 33:41Speaker 7: way when voting irregularities happen?
- 33:45Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 33:46Speaker 1: So I have no idea what was achieved by which
- 33:53Speaker 1: agencies through that operation.
- 33:55Speaker 4: But I know it was an operation, and I.
- 33:59Speaker 1: Know Jeffrey Epstein wasn't black making people by himself.
- 34:07Speaker 4: He would have been blackmailing.
- 34:08Speaker 1: It would have solved Jeffrey epstein problem long before he
- 34:12Speaker 1: got redacted when the cameras turned out.
- 34:15Speaker 7: Good stuff, Doctor Clark, you have a good morning and
- 34:17Speaker 7: make up tinfoil half for all of us. Okay, there's
- 34:24Speaker 7: a Glaine Maxwell calling Jeff to the door because de
- 34:29Speaker 7: Plaine is coming. Deplaine I thought she was taller. But
- 34:35Speaker 7: regardless that, you know, surveillance footage of Epstein Island there. Notwithstanding,
- 34:40Speaker 7: you know, Clark makes a great point and understand, so
- 34:44Speaker 7: your representatives are supposed to be yours. What is an
- 34:46Speaker 7: overarching issue that almost every Democrat I know and Republican
- 34:52Speaker 7: I know has My representatives don't seem to be representing me,
- 34:58Speaker 7: you know. And some of it has to with gerrymandering
- 35:01Speaker 7: and the Permanent Reapportionment Act of nineteen twenty nine, but
- 35:05Speaker 7: a lot of it has to do with they're not
- 35:07Speaker 7: as concerned with you.
- 35:09Speaker 4: You're just the means to their end.
- 35:13Speaker 7: You're the key, You're the gatekeeper, if you will, to
- 35:19Speaker 7: the chair that they have to sit in in order
- 35:22Speaker 7: to be of influence, and so in order to sway
- 35:28Speaker 7: that influence. The only reason they suckle up to you
- 35:31Speaker 7: and kiss your rumpus is because you have to vote
- 35:34Speaker 7: for them at some point, and they've even figured out
- 35:37Speaker 7: scams into that we drive the voter turnout down to
- 35:40Speaker 7: something like forty percent, then we really only need to
- 35:43Speaker 7: have about twenty percent of the population kiss our rumpus.
- 35:47Speaker 7: We only have to pander to about twenty percent of
- 35:50Speaker 7: the population. So it becomes a lot simpler if we
- 35:53Speaker 7: can drive the voter turnout down. So we drive the
- 35:57Speaker 7: voter turnout down, we make everyone feel like, you know
- 35:59Speaker 7: what the fake is in we're not going to work.
- 36:01Speaker 4: Not a flaw but a feature.
- 36:04Speaker 7: See, they want you to believe that the government is
- 36:07Speaker 7: so corrupt and I'm not saying it isn't not corruption
- 36:12Speaker 7: in it. They are human beings, We are corrupt. I'm sorry, Nancy,
- 36:17Speaker 7: I'm sorry Virginia, you didn't vote for Santa Claus. This
- 36:21Speaker 7: is oh, by the way, that Daily Signal column is
- 36:25Speaker 7: publishing this morning at ten Daily Signal dot com. These
- 36:32Speaker 7: folks who are making these decisions are using a system
- 36:37Speaker 7: that was never designed to have the kind of authority
- 36:40Speaker 7: and a special, especially fiscal authority that it has. And
- 36:45Speaker 7: ever since we thought we extinguished the fires of the
- 36:50Speaker 7: Civil War and went away, drove away from Appomatics, rode
- 36:56Speaker 7: our horses off back towards Georgia and New Hampshire and
- 37:01Speaker 7: New York State, and said, well we ended that one.
- 37:04Speaker 7: And the ember is still glowing in the woods of Appomattox, Virginia,
- 37:09Speaker 7: waiting to conflate again. So we're not having a new
- 37:13Speaker 7: civil war. We're still having the original one. Same people,
- 37:18Speaker 7: same players. We can discuss when we have a little
- 37:21Speaker 7: bit more time, if you wish. But ever since that
- 37:26Speaker 7: moment in time, the government has expanded and expanded its
- 37:29Speaker 7: authority over money, over access to the economy, access to you,
- 37:36Speaker 7: access to sell things to you. Endorsements of selling things
- 37:41Speaker 7: to you, like round up weed killer, another one of
- 37:47Speaker 7: those things that the US government in this case at
- 37:50Speaker 7: least wound up admitting, Sure, yeah, we asked Monsantra to
- 37:53Speaker 7: do it, but Monsanto wound up taking the fall for it.
- 38:00Speaker 4: It's all been up.
- 38:02Speaker 10: In a study, it was found that thirty three percent

- 40:57Speaker 14: Exercise is hard, so was maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
- 41:03Speaker 14: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type two diabetes,
- 41:08Speaker 14: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
- 41:12Speaker 14: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
- 41:15Speaker 14: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
- 41:21Speaker 14: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
- 41:24Speaker 14: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
- 41:27Speaker 14: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
- 41:32Speaker 14: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,

- 44:30Speaker 4: WHOA wow wow, God bless you.
- 44:33Speaker 15: Please mister Madison, Heaven help these fools the legislates.
- 44:41Speaker 3: Rights away.
- 44:43Speaker 4: Right away.
- 44:45Speaker 7: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
- 44:47Speaker 7: this morning at four three four eight eight two four
- 44:50Speaker 7: two one seven. That is the phone number or text
- 44:53Speaker 7: message hotline for a joeld the three letter text message
- 44:58Speaker 7: c I A. Remember, the Central Intelligence Agency, whether it's
- 45:03Speaker 7: as a foundation in the Constitution or not, is supposed
- 45:06Speaker 7: to be investigating foreigns and gathering intelligence so that our
- 45:11Speaker 7: warfighters can know what they're facing when they get into theater,
- 45:15Speaker 7: not what are Americans doing. But when you allow folks,
- 45:20Speaker 7: and you allow the government to behave like an antity
- 45:23Speaker 7: whose self defense and it's a tightrope, I can't deny
- 45:28Speaker 7: the fact that defending America might be interpreted as saying
- 45:34Speaker 7: defending America from Americans. And when you have a political
- 45:39Speaker 7: party that seems more interested in the liberties they can
- 45:44Speaker 7: take with nationals of other countries who don't know what
- 45:47Speaker 7: their rules and regulations are in this country versus protecting
- 45:52Speaker 7: the rights of those who are here and living here,
- 45:56Speaker 7: then I can't argue with you. These agencies are being
- 46:02Speaker 7: perverted by these people who have taken this idea that
- 46:07Speaker 7: questioning America and making sure that America is living up
- 46:12Speaker 7: to all of her foundational principles. And think about for
- 46:16Speaker 7: a second before you react, the attitude of both Democrats
- 46:20Speaker 7: and Republicans alike. Democrats are better at it. They're trained
- 46:24Speaker 7: up at how to handle it. When the constituents get
- 46:27Speaker 7: prickly with them, they can handle it more adeptly. Republicans
- 46:31Speaker 7: just get insulted. They love the grassroots and the Republican
- 46:36Speaker 7: Party until the grassroots show up their office in Washington,
- 46:39Speaker 7: DC or in the state capitol to say, hey, remember
- 46:42Speaker 7: you said you were going to do this. Oh you
- 46:44Speaker 7: guys just don't understand how it works up here. You know,
- 46:48Speaker 7: I'm working for you. Look at this pork barrel project
- 46:51Speaker 7: I got for you. Can't you look at the pork
- 46:53Speaker 7: barrel project and forget all the things that I promised
- 46:56Speaker 7: you that I was going to do on the campaign
- 46:58Speaker 7: trail Because the government is an entity and we're not
- 47:03Speaker 7: defending the United States of America. These agencies, the CIA,
- 47:08Speaker 7: the people, Crossfire, Hurricane and Arctic frost, and all these
- 47:12Speaker 7: agency driven functions were not about defending the United States
- 47:17Speaker 7: of America. They were about defending the government of the
- 47:21Speaker 7: United States of America. And I know that sounds pedantic
- 47:24Speaker 7: to say it that way, but if you think about
- 47:26Speaker 7: it that way, you understand there's a there's a profound
- 47:30Speaker 7: and not enormous difference between defending the United States and
- 47:35Speaker 7: defending the government of the United States.
- 47:38Speaker 4: Four three, four eight eight two four two one seven.
- 47:41Speaker 7: Like I said, it wouldn't be much of a I'd
- 47:43Speaker 7: be just like these politicians if I gave out the
- 47:46Speaker 7: phone number never answered it. So good morning. You're on
- 47:49Speaker 7: the air with Joe. First thing this morning.
- 47:50Speaker 4: Who's this cgo? I provoked you and you provoked me.
- 47:54Speaker 4: This is Joel. Uh.
- 47:56Speaker 7: You know that's a lot of marriages start that way.
- 47:58Speaker 7: Not that I'm judging or but anyway, So how did
- 48:04Speaker 7: I how did I reprovoke you?
- 48:07Speaker 25: Well, you know it's radio junkies, so we love radio,
- 48:10Speaker 25: we love your program.
- 48:13Speaker 4: It's just good. I wanted to say this.
- 48:15Speaker 25: I'm trying to look at this in a different way
- 48:18Speaker 25: as far as how crime is being solved or investigations.
- 48:23Speaker 25: But you're only as good as you know that technology.
- 48:26Speaker 25: And then there's and then there's like probably hidden keys
- 48:31Speaker 25: to doing things, you know, like they only I think
- 48:34Speaker 25: a lot of times they only want to inform people
- 48:37Speaker 25: a certain way because they know more about it and
- 48:41Speaker 25: that gives them the power over the technology. And I
- 48:44Speaker 25: want to do one example, there was a lady apparently
- 48:49Speaker 25: she stole a baby from an eastern Kentucky hospital about
- 48:53Speaker 25: forty years ago.
- 48:55Speaker 4: I think she was recently arrested.
- 48:57Speaker 25: In up you know, close to I live in southwest Florida,
- 49:03Speaker 25: and they found her tracking her through DNA and records
- 49:07Speaker 25: and she's going to go to jail. And uh, but
- 49:11Speaker 25: I mean, it wasn't that I think anybody was trying
- 49:14Speaker 25: to hide anything. They probably learned how to use the
- 49:17Speaker 25: technology better or was improved, because I remember when I
- 49:22Speaker 25: when I got out of high school and then eventually
- 49:26Speaker 25: started to work more with a computer and then became
- 49:30Speaker 25: a nurse and we had to do our our charting
- 49:33Speaker 25: on computers. I'm not a good, you know, person with computer.
- 49:37Speaker 25: My brother is, he worked with Oracle and stuff. But
- 49:41Speaker 25: I always used to hear patients say, they go, well, uh,
- 49:45Speaker 25: you don't have to ask me all those questions. Don't
- 49:48Speaker 25: you have it on the computer? And I and these
- 49:50Speaker 25: people would come from out of state, you know, come
- 49:52Speaker 25: into the er, they go, I'm in South Carolina, and
- 49:55Speaker 25: they have this magical thinking that because it was recorded
- 49:58Speaker 25: on a computer to know it. And to me, it's
- 50:01Speaker 25: the same thing with cameras. Even if they're there or
- 50:04Speaker 25: not there, that doesn't mean you're getting a genuine picture
- 50:07Speaker 25: because people can put disguises on or they can wear equipment.
- 50:12Speaker 25: But I think it's a matter of being literate with
- 50:15Speaker 25: technology and you know, being as able to use and
- 50:18Speaker 25: having a literacy and security.
- 50:20Speaker 7: One of the things. And here's where I you know,
- 50:24Speaker 7: people think, oh yeah, Joe's on the reservation with us.
- 50:27Speaker 4: Man.
- 50:28Speaker 7: I will say that I am particularly prickly about people's
- 50:33Speaker 7: misunderstanding of what's happening to them when they're on the Internet.
- 50:38Speaker 7: And I know that we most of us serve the
- 50:40Speaker 7: Internet in our homes or in our offices, but that's
- 50:44Speaker 7: not where you are right now. The government views the
- 50:48Speaker 7: Internet as a street corner. You're sitting on a street
- 50:51Speaker 7: corner and this and you're interacting with all the people.
- 50:56Speaker 7: You're interacting on this street corner that's called the Internet.
- 51:00Speaker 7: It's corner of www and dot com and at that intersection,
- 51:06Speaker 7: the police, the authorities, they can see what you're doing,
- 51:09Speaker 7: because that's how we have adjudicated the Internet.
- 51:13Speaker 4: That is a public place.
- 51:15Speaker 7: You're not really sitting in the dining room, and you
- 51:17Speaker 7: should really put your pants on.
- 51:19Speaker 4: Not hu Jol, but the other people.
- 51:21Speaker 7: And so we have to understand, as you said, the
- 51:25Speaker 7: technology what it's being done. And we've all clicked okay
- 51:29Speaker 7: on all the apps that say we're sharing your information
- 51:33Speaker 7: with third parties. Most of the cases of those third
- 51:37Speaker 7: parties they are government entities. But it goes back to
- 51:40Speaker 7: the original point I made. This is fixed if we
- 51:44Speaker 7: can separate the idea of defending the United States of
- 51:47Speaker 7: America from defending the government of the United States of America,
- 51:52Speaker 7: because they are not the same thing.
- 51:56Speaker 25: The other thing, Joe, you just triggered me. Remember that
- 51:59Speaker 25: video with Aerosmith and dude looks like a lady and
- 52:04Speaker 25: the kid thinks he's talking to somebody on a on
- 52:06Speaker 25: a telephone, you know, and he thinks it's his girlfriend
- 52:09Speaker 25: or something. But it's this guy behind a you know,
- 52:13Speaker 25: some crazy guy behind a speaker changing his voice. Oh yeah,
- 52:17Speaker 25: I mean it's it's creepy. It's very creepy.
- 52:20Speaker 7: And that's that's like a forty year old song. Now
- 52:23Speaker 7: it's really changed as meaning Joel, but I must run
- 52:26Speaker 7: to the news here coming up. You have a great morning,
- 52:28Speaker 7: and we'll talk to you again very soon. Four three
- 52:31Speaker 7: four eight A two four two one seven. Yeah, how
- 52:34Speaker 7: quaint is dude looks like a lady right now. Dude's
- 52:37Speaker 7: getting medical treatment to be a lady now. Actually a
- 52:40Speaker 7: story of one who is going through the pain and
- 52:42Speaker 7: suffering of changing their mind. Never mind changing your gender,
- 52:47Speaker 7: the pain and suffering of changing your mind coming up
- 52:50Speaker 7: this morning.
- 52:51Speaker 2: My name is Bobby.
- 52:52Speaker 21: I'm a veteran and lost my leg to a roadside bomb.
