0:49
Speaker 3: evidence left behind by the perpetrators. And most importantly, because
0:54
Speaker 3: you are the most important part of your station, you
0:58
Speaker 3: tell us how it's impacting you. Where you are at
1:01
Speaker 3: four three four eight eight two four two one seven.
1:04
Speaker 3: That's the content Creators Hotline. That's what the cool kids
1:08
Speaker 3: on the interwebs call it. There. I think there's a
1:12
Speaker 3: reddit something like that. But so you be our content
1:16
Speaker 3: creators there. We'll do our part on this, and you
1:19
Speaker 3: can also send your content in written form to JT
1:25
Speaker 3: in the Morning Radio at gmail dot com. We keep
1:28
Speaker 3: the text hotline because we know that mornings are the
1:31
Speaker 3: suppository of all last minute things. I'll do that later,
1:35
Speaker 3: I'll do you know. And now it's the last minute.
1:38
Speaker 3: Whether you're wrapping up your day or just beginning it,
1:41
Speaker 3: everything is come to fruition. Oh my god, I left
1:44
Speaker 3: all this at the last minute. Yeah, that's why I've
1:48
Speaker 3: petitioned the government to change the abbreviation for morning hours
1:54
Speaker 3: from AM to MLM instead of no meridian and make
2:01
Speaker 3: it last minute so it'd be six eight LM on
2:05
Speaker 3: the eastern seaboard. There so much to get into. I
2:09
Speaker 3: just saw this deal Belarus. You may recall the country
2:15
Speaker 3: of Belarus be very popular about four years ago as
2:22
Speaker 3: their ally puppet master Russia invaded their neighbor Ukraine. Well,
2:37
Speaker 3: Belarus is coming to the United States to make a
2:42
Speaker 3: deal with President Trump. Their president, Lukashenko says he's looking
2:48
Speaker 3: forward to meeting the man, though he denies having some
2:51
Speaker 3: burning desire to meet Trump. That's okay, you can call
3:00
Speaker 3: it whatever you will. The deal is a deal with
3:02
Speaker 3: this Russian ally, So we haven't even talked about Melai
3:08
Speaker 3: and Israel and that suit. I know the question, how
3:12
Speaker 3: does this put America first? I'll I can break that
3:15
Speaker 3: down for you if you want, But first let's do
3:17
Speaker 3: our first Thing's tensions high this four to twenty morning,
3:21
Speaker 3: as statesmanship have taken the place of actual ships. As
3:28
Speaker 3: US soldiers boarded an Iranian freighter that tried to run
3:33
Speaker 3: the blockade, and then President Trump warned Iran to take
3:37
Speaker 3: the deal as offered or quote the whole country will
3:40
Speaker 3: get blown up. Meanwhile, Iran says, well, it's not sending
3:44
Speaker 3: anyone to Pakistan to meet with the emissaries being sent
3:51
Speaker 3: by President Trump. No word on if it's the same
3:54
Speaker 3: emissaries as before. It's just listed as emissaries. State of
3:58
Speaker 3: the Union had an Energy secretary, Chris Wright on and
4:03
Speaker 3: he said that gas prices dipping below three dollars a
4:07
Speaker 3: gallon could happen this year. He says they have likely
4:11
Speaker 3: peaked and they will start to go down. President Trump
4:15
Speaker 3: signed a ten day extension of Section seven two of
4:19
Speaker 3: the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act after Republican leaders failed again
4:24
Speaker 3: to try to get a five year rewrite or a
4:27
Speaker 3: clean eighteen month renewal of the Surveillance Authorization. NSA meanwhile,
4:35
Speaker 3: has been caught using anthropics artificial intelligence tool CLAUDE, despite
4:42
Speaker 3: a War Departments supply chain risk warning against it. Axios
4:47
Speaker 3: said NSA leakers told them that they are using Claude
4:51
Speaker 3: Mytho's preview, while another said a model was used more
4:55
Speaker 3: widely within the intelligence community. They didn't and on what
5:00
Speaker 3: NSA was using it for, but the software is primarily
5:04
Speaker 3: used to look for vulnerabilities in Internet security. Michigan officials
5:10
Speaker 3: said no to the Department of Justice when they asked
5:14
Speaker 3: for Detroit area ballots and other material related to the
5:19
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four election. Meanwhile, Joe Digeneva was sworn in
5:23
Speaker 3: Monday Well will be sworn in today in Miami as
5:28
Speaker 3: Council to the Attorney General to lead the Russia collusion
5:31
Speaker 3: hoax investigation. The governments of Israel, Argentina, and the United
5:36
Speaker 3: States met jointly and announced the launch of the ISAAC Accords.
5:41
Speaker 3: It's a trilateral hemispheric strategic framework aimed at deepening coordination
5:47
Speaker 3: on security, economic development, and democratic alignment across the three countries.
5:54
Speaker 3: And those are some of our first things on this
5:57

7:04

Speaker 7: share can save you a lot of money. The typical
7:31

8:08
Speaker 8: Actually three known gas is I I'm doctor Mitch, and
8:13
Speaker 8: nitric oxide is a gas that's readily made all day
8:17
Speaker 8: long to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood
8:21
Speaker 8: vessel walls. By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood,
8:27
Speaker 8: oxygen and nutrients to every part of your body. Both
8:32
Speaker 8: age and poor diet can lead to a loss of
8:35
Speaker 8: this precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
8:39
Speaker 8: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
8:42

13:09
Speaker 1: The First Thing Today on the Tunk Media Network by
13:15
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas, the second most famous Thomas in Charlottesville.
13:19
Speaker 3: Hey, Virginia.
13:21
Speaker 4: Early voting is underway and Virginians are turning out in
13:24
Speaker 4: record numbers to vote yes.
13:28
Speaker 3: Text message coming in from Jerry, who says, Hey Joe,
13:33
Speaker 3: I live in Minneapolis and listen to you here and
13:37
Speaker 3: enjoy the program. Why am I getting ads on my
13:42
Speaker 3: telephone for your damn redistricting? I feel like a character
13:52
Speaker 3: in Erese's Peanut Butter cap ad. Get your peanut butter
13:55
Speaker 3: off of my chocolate? Well, you know, apologies, and I
13:59
Speaker 3: don't know how all the algorithms work. Maybe my son
14:04
Speaker 3: could tell me, but it probably has to do with
14:08
Speaker 3: the fact that you listen to a Virginia based radio
14:13
Speaker 3: program at some point or another, and if you're listening
14:17
Speaker 3: on your phone at all, then that's probably the case.
14:21
Speaker 3: I don't know. You may have searched me on the
14:23
Speaker 3: Internet or something along those lines as well, and that
14:26
Speaker 3: could have connected you to Virginia in some way, shape
14:29
Speaker 3: or form, or they just need your money. That's probably
14:35
Speaker 3: a big part of it so far. And all the
14:38
Speaker 3: quote reliable experts that I know say that this race
14:42
Speaker 3: is very, very close, and it's going to be very
14:45
Speaker 3: close at the end of voting tomorrow. And I'm hoping
14:48
Speaker 3: that after all of this is said and done, the
14:51
Speaker 3: Virginia Supreme Court, who has promised to look at it,
14:54
Speaker 3: after all the voting has been done, and in the
14:57
Speaker 3: wake of what is right now almost seventy million dollars
15:03
Speaker 3: to twenty five million dollars, almost a three to one
15:07
Speaker 3: advantage in dollars spent on advertising like those ads you're
15:11
Speaker 3: seeing and your smartphone in a polist Jerry, those ads
15:17
Speaker 3: cost sixty four million, No, that was Thursday's number. I
15:21
Speaker 3: think gets closer to seventy million dollars in expenditures right
15:25
Speaker 3: now for what may wind up eking out to be
15:29
Speaker 3: a one point victory. And I hope the Supreme Court
15:32
Speaker 3: takes that into account that it took three times the
15:36
Speaker 3: amount of advertising to bring the Commonwealth of Virginia to
15:41
Speaker 3: maybe a one point victory for the abolitionists, the ones
15:46
Speaker 3: who want to tear up Virginia's constitution. Oh, temporarily just
15:50
Speaker 3: for six years or so, for a couple of congressional
15:53
Speaker 3: cycles and a presidential election. Plus we signed into the
15:58
Speaker 3: national popular vote anyway, So what difference does the presidential
16:02
Speaker 3: election make here at this point? Anyway, So thank you
16:06
Speaker 3: for the note on that. I did not know that
16:09
Speaker 3: people outside of Virginia were being inundated with those ads.
16:13
Speaker 3: I like the one where Governor Spanberger is burning a
16:17
Speaker 3: barn down and all of the leftists are like, it's
16:21
Speaker 3: using AI. Really you mean the group was it? Virginians
16:26
Speaker 3: for Fair Maps, the group that's run by Attorney General Miares.
16:36
Speaker 3: That group didn't get Abigail Spanberger to stand inside a
16:39
Speaker 3: burning barn while pouring gasoline on a pile of the
16:44
Speaker 3: Virginia Constitution. They couldn't get her to do that in
16:48
Speaker 3: real time. What was your clue that it was artificial
16:53
Speaker 3: intelligence generated? No, were her knees facing the wrong direction?
17:00
Speaker 3: Who would know? I mean, there's some argument about reptilianism
17:04
Speaker 3: going around, but we can indulge that later. Our friend
17:06
Speaker 3: James Luck is on the phone with us from jcsgold
17:10
Speaker 3: dot com again, sitting there on a Monday morning now
17:12
Speaker 3: for the first time, saying what have I gotten myself
17:15
Speaker 3: into the middle of? But good morning, James. How are
17:19
Speaker 3: you doing? Sir?
17:21
Speaker 18: Underwell, Joe, and don't worry. I know exactly what you're
17:23
Speaker 18: talking about. And I think I knew it was AI
17:26
Speaker 18: because she had three knees.
17:30
Speaker 3: You caught me with one twenty seven coffee in my mouth.
17:32
Speaker 3: Oh oh, it's good coffee, but not my sinuses. You
17:36
Speaker 3: got me with that one, James, Thank you, sir. Oh yeah, no,
17:40
Speaker 3: it's you know. And this is the thing that makes
17:43
Speaker 3: me laugh is that everyone's afraid of what AI is
17:46
Speaker 3: going to do. If the NSA is using it. It
17:49
Speaker 3: can't draw a woman walking in the right direction properly yet,
17:53
Speaker 3: so I'm I think I understand their concerns. So how
17:58
Speaker 3: about gold and silver, the oldest technology out there? I'm
18:01
Speaker 3: sure at some point somebody's like, did you see what
18:03
Speaker 3: they did? They took that shiny yellow metal and they
18:05
Speaker 3: pressed it into coins, and now they expect us to
18:08
Speaker 3: use it as currency. What an authoritarian takeover that is.
18:13
Speaker 3: But how are gold and silver trading today?
18:17
Speaker 18: Gold and silver had a strong day on Friday, but
18:19
Speaker 18: they are back almost to the exact same spot that
18:22
Speaker 18: they were when we talked Friday morning. Silver broke above
18:26
Speaker 18: eighty dollars on Friday, got all the way up to
18:28
Speaker 18: eighty three dollars, but it's currently down about one and
18:32
Speaker 18: a half percent to seventy nine forty eight, almost exactly
18:35
Speaker 18: where it was Friday morning.
18:37
Speaker 3: The same story for gold.
18:39
Speaker 18: Gold is down about half of percent, down thirty three
18:42
Speaker 18: dollars to four thousand, seven hundred and ninety seven dollars.
18:45
Speaker 18: It did get above forty eight hundred by the afternoon
18:49
Speaker 18: on Friday, but still settling, you know, right in this
18:52
Speaker 18: comfortable zone that we we've kind of been in for
18:55
Speaker 18: the for the past couple of weeks. Here we need
18:58
Speaker 18: to see, though, if we can get above eighty for
19:00
Speaker 18: silver and stay there.
19:02
Speaker 3: Well, you mentioned though, the stability is the thing, I mean,
19:05
Speaker 3: that is what makes gold and silver, you know, the hell,
19:08
Speaker 3: the gold standard, I guess on this because it's stability.
19:13
Speaker 3: It's not wildly up or wildly down depending on you know,
19:17
Speaker 3: what you've invested in on Wall Street.
19:20
Speaker 18: That's exactly right. And we had a little bit of that,
19:23
Speaker 18: which was was you know, in the grand scheme of things,
19:26
Speaker 18: you know, and investments and things there.
19:29
Speaker 19: You know, the swings that gold and silver happened, the
19:32
Speaker 19: roller coaster that we were talking about, you know a
19:34
Speaker 19: couple of months ago, was very unheard of and very strange.
19:37
Speaker 19: And we've seen that quickly they have settled down, because
19:41
Speaker 19: that is unusual for gold and silver, and they have.
19:44
Speaker 19: They've settled down, They've gotten into a comfortable zone here
19:47
Speaker 19: and they really have become a stable investment that's held
19:50
Speaker 19: its value here, which is great to see in Our
19:53
Speaker 19: clients have really enjoying that right now, and they're trying
19:56
Speaker 19: to figure out, Hey, you know, I'm going to.
19:59
Speaker 3: Add to my staff position.
20:00
Speaker 18: I'm going to add to my gold and silver position
20:03
Speaker 18: you know on some of these dips, and we're going
20:04
Speaker 18: to continue you know the ride up here over time.
20:08
Speaker 3: Well, that's what you want to call a family business,
20:10

28:16
Speaker 1: Amaze your friends here in First Thing Today by Joe Thomas.
28:22
Speaker 14: What do you got here?
28:23
Speaker 2: That was delivered by a messenger This morning.
28:26
Speaker 3: What's this about? It is about South Florida and the
28:30
Speaker 3: problems that are going on there, as doctor Clark said,
28:34
Speaker 3: and of course without any sort of in uh intro,
28:38
Speaker 3: I'm like, what you not necessarily correcting and collecting the
28:44
Speaker 3: idea that the corrupt Miami congresswoman and the money she
28:50
Speaker 3: stole from taxpayers. And we told you the story of
28:54
Speaker 3: the laughably oxy moronic Ethics Committee in the House has
29:00
Speaker 3: been around forever, you know, and they're they're going to
29:06
Speaker 3: start doing these dueling expulsions just to keep it fair,
29:09
Speaker 3: just so it's it's not seen as partisan. And Corey
29:12
Speaker 3: Mills is now under investigation for being worse than Eric Swalwell.
29:19
Speaker 3: Don't know how that could be, But then again, I
29:21
Speaker 3: guess shades of gray. This This is an institution that
29:24
Speaker 3: has millions of dollars set aside annually to pay NDA
29:31
Speaker 3: settlements with staffers. Clark, is that where you wanted to
29:34
Speaker 3: go when you said you wanted to talk about South Florida?
29:37
Speaker 3: Or is it more about Okay?
29:43
Speaker 20: Yeah, So on the dual expulsion thing, that's kind of
29:48
Speaker 20: like if a major league baseball team went to another
29:51
Speaker 20: major league baseball team and said, hey, we're going to
29:54
Speaker 20: get rid of one of our players we don't want
29:57
Speaker 20: and to keep things even, we want you to get
30:00
Speaker 20: rid of one of your players. We don't want you
30:02
Speaker 20: to have.
30:04
Speaker 3: That's right, Hey, can can you get rid of Aaron Judge.
30:09
Speaker 3: We're gonna get Joe Thomas off the team because we
30:12
Speaker 3: don't like him, but we want you to sit to
30:15
Speaker 3: Aaron Judge because that'll keep it fair.
30:18
Speaker 20: No, So before we go to South Florida, let's just
30:21
Speaker 20: take a quick world overview. You know, we talk about
30:25
Speaker 20: pattern recognition. Joe, Yeah, Panama Canal, Venezuela, Suez Canal, straight
30:32
Speaker 20: to horn moves umshaka lock locka malaca locka ah. Well,
30:38
Speaker 20: apparently there's another strait that I hadn't considered, Bab al Mandab,
30:45
Speaker 20: which is where the Red Sea enters into the Gulf
30:47
Speaker 20: of aden Ah. Every place that produces oil, pretty much,
30:53
Speaker 20: et cetera, et cetera, is now pretty much under us control.
30:57
Speaker 20: Somebody did a lot of homework and then came up
31:00
Speaker 20: with a plan step by step to solve some problems.
31:04
Speaker 3: Well, there's also now now let's lump into this the
31:09
Speaker 3: fellow from Belarus Lukashenko. Alexander right, is the first Alexander Lukashenko,
31:19
Speaker 3: the leader of Belarus. Apparently it's fling to the United
31:22
Speaker 3: States now to meet with President Trump and sign an
31:26
Speaker 3: agreement deal to work with the United States. I thought
31:30
Speaker 3: they were still a client state of vlad the Invader.
31:34
Speaker 3: Uh there, because Belarus was going to be the country that,
31:39
Speaker 3: you know, all of the trouble in Ukraine was going
31:42
Speaker 3: to come from. The Belarusian army was going to march
31:46
Speaker 3: with the Russians and partner with him and Pincher. So
31:50
Speaker 3: there's a deal there. Then there's the Javier Malai Israel
31:54
Speaker 3: US you know, partnership with Argentina. Let's not forget that
31:58
Speaker 3: one as well. Well, you know, and believe me, Argentina,
32:02
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, yeah, this is this is where
32:04
Speaker 3: half of Hitler's boys went to go hide to be
32:07
Speaker 3: partnered with Israel. That's a that's a stunning turn of events,
32:10
Speaker 3: and I bet it's not popular amongst those Argentinians who
32:14
Speaker 3: still name their children Hans. But that being said, so
32:17
Speaker 3: there's a lot in there, a lot of stuff in
32:20
Speaker 3: the frying panuff.
32:21
Speaker 20: Now, Now let's go to South Florida. Joe Dijenova and
32:28
Speaker 20: Christopher James, Steve Lorenz have been moved to South Florida
32:33
Speaker 20: to aid with the investigation and likely prosecutions involving Spygate.
32:40
Speaker 20: Russigate all the law fair the theft of twenty twenty.
32:46
Speaker 20: So it looks like to me that pretty soon, not
32:49
Speaker 20: only are James Comy and Brennan and Clapper going to
32:55
Speaker 20: be it's going to go all the way down to
32:58
Speaker 20: Jack Smith.
32:59
Speaker 3: Joe, Well, and didn't you did you see Cash Pattel
33:02
Speaker 3: over the weekend say that indictments were coming.
33:06
Speaker 20: Yes, And you know, I would have regarded that as
33:08
Speaker 20: just so much noise if not for the stuff that
33:14
Speaker 20: we just let up to this with happening in the world,
33:16
Speaker 20: things are starting to happen. A lot of planning there,
33:21
Speaker 20: not random stuff. And I don't know, maybe I'm extrapolating
33:24
Speaker 20: too much, but uh yeah, if somebody has put the
33:30
Speaker 20: one thing together this well, I'm thinking maybe they put
33:34
Speaker 20: the other thing together. We could actually see some accountability
33:38
Speaker 20: for what's happened in the last two decades, Joe.
33:41
Speaker 4: I just I'm not saying it.
33:43
Speaker 3: Will, but it could.
33:44
Speaker 12: So.
33:45
Speaker 3: Mary texts in she's listening, and she said, isn't this
33:49
Speaker 3: why they went after cash Battel Last week about his
33:51
Speaker 3: drinking probably, you know, and I saw the story about,
33:56
Speaker 3: you know, allegations that Cash Betel is, you know, everything
34:00
Speaker 3: that they told us, Pete Hegsith was, and I looked
34:02
Speaker 3: at the story thinking, I feel like I've read this
34:05
Speaker 3: story before, and I was looking to see if I
34:07
Speaker 3: could see where they had whited out the name Pete
34:10
Speaker 3: Hegsath and just written in Cash Patel there over the
34:14
Speaker 3: correctal inc.
34:16
Speaker 20: But it's whoever, yes, whoever's effective uh Pulty, Gabbert, pet Heads,
34:23
Speaker 20: Cash Mattel. They're going to get the TDS treatment.
34:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is. It is all those things. But he
34:32
Speaker 3: said he he did go on I guess Fox News
34:36
Speaker 3: in the same interview where he said indictments are coming
34:38
Speaker 3: against these colluders. There he also claimed the Atlantic article
34:44
Speaker 3: is all false, which you know, of course you would,
34:47
Speaker 3: you know, I gotta sit there and say you got me.
34:49
Speaker 3: I mean, I only know one guy who, when accused
34:51
Speaker 3: of that kind of stuff, said you got me and
34:53
Speaker 3: took a powder and got himself, you know straight. But
34:56
Speaker 3: I'll be talking to him later this week anyway.
34:59
Speaker 20: But that being between the Atlantic and prov the Joe.
35:05
Speaker 3: The name doesn't need to be translated. Well, yeah, I
35:10
Speaker 3: was just going to say, like the alphabet. But anyway,
35:14
Speaker 3: the holidays that their reporters take Easter is a week
35:17
Speaker 3: early pravda please, you know. Anyway, good stuff, Clark, I appreciated, sir.
35:24
Speaker 3: Keep keep doing the pattern recognition and oura to your
35:27
Speaker 3: marines on the boarding of the ship in the Strait.
35:33
Speaker 20: They did it too, it didn't they. Oh, while we're
35:35
Speaker 20: uhran something April eighteenth, that was forty three years since
35:44
Speaker 20: our embassy was bombed in Beirut.
35:48
Speaker 3: That's right, that's right. I was, you know, you texted
35:51
Speaker 3: me something and I and I went, I looked, and
35:53
Speaker 3: I said, no, it was actually the barracks bombing that
35:56
Speaker 3: I looked up in my finals and I was.
35:58
Speaker 20: Remember October the twenty third, we lost a lot more
36:02
Speaker 20: marines there, right, both of them catastrophic and both of
36:07
Speaker 20: them Iran.
36:08
Speaker 3: So there you go. Well, but this is the point
36:10
Speaker 3: I made last Tuesday when I brought up Jefferson's point
36:14
Speaker 3: about the Barbary pirates. He said, if the most pacifistic president,
36:21
Speaker 3: or at least the most pacifist founding father we have,
36:26
Speaker 3: says this may have to be dealt with with a war.
36:32
Speaker 3: And we decided to bribe the Barbary pirates then because
36:37
Speaker 3: of their deeply held religious beliefs that we could buy off,
36:42
Speaker 3: setting up the Obama paradigm. And Trump finally comes in
36:47
Speaker 3: and says, fine, let's end this with combat. We've weakened them,
36:52
Speaker 3: We've taken a lot of their allies away from them
36:55
Speaker 3: in other parts of the Middle East, We've separated them
36:59
Speaker 3: from every all the other cash flows that they have.
37:02
Speaker 3: And now it's time to stop these people from paying
37:05
Speaker 3: for Hesbolah. And you've got Lebanon saying, you know, we'll
37:08
Speaker 3: take care of Hesbola. Will you remain to be seen?
37:11
Speaker 3: Because I thought Pakistan was going to actually be our
37:14
Speaker 3: ally in the war on terror. But at least they're
37:17
Speaker 3: letting us use Islamabad for their meetings. But there are
37:20
Speaker 3: a lot of connections here. Faster than you can say,
37:23
Speaker 3: James Burke, you can see these connections. Yes, yes, And
37:29
Speaker 3: with that we reach an awkward pause of about thirty seconds,
37:33
Speaker 3: since now now I just have to fill with something.
37:35
Speaker 3: You have a good morning, Hutter Clark, take care. So
37:40
Speaker 3: in the in the means time I will tell you
37:42
Speaker 3: that you can make your own phone call to us
37:45
Speaker 3: at four three four eight A two four two one seven.
37:48
Speaker 3: I like this one from a string about the marine landing,
37:52
Speaker 3: so the US can blockade one of the word world's
37:55
Speaker 3: most critical waterways, but Iran trying to pass through its
37:58
Speaker 3: own region is called provocation.

39:08
Speaker 8: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
39:13
Speaker 8: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
39:19

39:27

39:32
Speaker 8: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
39:37

39:42
Speaker 8: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
39:46
Speaker 8: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

40:13
Speaker 24: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
40:17
Speaker 24: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls

Speaker 24: your personal information like your social Security number or bank account,
40:38
Speaker 24: or send money in any form cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
40:43
Speaker 24: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
40:47
Speaker 24: enforcement on the Office of the Inspector General at OIG

40:59
Speaker 25: Hid Jack Hannah and it's always a boy. Growing up
41:02
Speaker 25: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
41:05
Speaker 25: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
41:07
Speaker 25: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
41:09
Speaker 25: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
41:13
Speaker 25: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
41:15
Speaker 25: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
41:18
Speaker 25: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
41:21
Speaker 25: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
41:23
Speaker 25: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
41:26
Speaker 25: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
41:30
Speaker 25: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
41:33
Speaker 25: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
41:36
Speaker 25: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
41:38
Speaker 25: from PTS they work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
41:42
Speaker 25: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
41:44
Speaker 25: variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
41:47
Speaker 25: help those in need. So please join me an American
41:50
Speaker 25: Humane and supporting our heroic working dogs and all the
41:53
Speaker 25: amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together.

Speaker 15: Uh oh, Bruhu's buzzed.
42:01
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
42:05
Speaker 17: And now a speech.
42:07
Speaker 15: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
42:11
Speaker 15: heart and brain.
42:12
Speaker 3: Who's with me?
42:13
Speaker 15: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
42:16
Speaker 15: brain is saying when it's time to go home.
42:18
Speaker 3: Somebody call me a ride.
42:20
Speaker 2: Love that guy, Me too, know your buzzed warning signs
42:23
Speaker 2: call for a ride when it's time to go home.
42:25
Speaker 6: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
42:27
Speaker 14: Who did you know that more than half our household
42:31
Speaker 14: energy costs.
42:32
Speaker 3: Go to heating and cooling.
42:34
Speaker 14: Energy efficiency isn't just good for the environment, It means
42:37
Speaker 14: lower utility bills too. One way to reduce your energy
42:41
Speaker 14: waste is a home energy assessment. Your utility company can help,
42:46
Speaker 14: or you can learn how to do it. Yourself at

42:52
Speaker 14: look for air leaks around windows and doors, check ducks
42:55
Speaker 14: for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time to cut
42:59
Speaker 14: energy costs is when you shop for a new appliance.
43:02

Speaker 14: guide label. And there are day to day things you
43:08
Speaker 14: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
43:11
Speaker 14: in the summer, close fireplay stampers when they're not in use,
43:15
Speaker 14: and keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

Speaker 13: As a family member or friend, you may be the
43:33
Speaker 13: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
43:36
Speaker 13: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
43:41
Speaker 13: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern,
43:44

Speaker 4: If we could tell you what six seven hats Who
44:14
Speaker 4: was the first first thing today by Joe Thomas on
44:18
Speaker 4: the Talk Median.
44:38
Speaker 10: Changed.
45:01
Speaker 3: So the question is amongst those who support Donald Trump,
45:05
Speaker 3: the Marjorie Taylor Green crowd, the Tucker Carlson crowd, you know,
45:12
Speaker 3: and you can listen I do. You know why I
45:16
Speaker 3: listen to folks like that because I want to hear
45:18
Speaker 3: people who see things differently than I do. Why because
45:22
Speaker 3: that helps inform my thoughts. See, considering somebody else might
45:30
Speaker 3: have a different opinion of you is not capitulating to that.
45:34
Speaker 3: That's the problem with this internet driven social media nonsense
45:38
Speaker 3: world where acknowledging that something exists is tatamount to endorsing it.
45:46
Speaker 3: That's the you know. And if there is a virus
45:50
Speaker 3: that's infecting our society at large currently, that's it. It's
45:56
Speaker 3: this idea that acknowledging that somebody else might exist that
45:59
Speaker 3: has a different idea that you are is tantamount to
46:03
Speaker 3: endorsing it. Yeah, I mentioned I thought it was interesting
46:07
Speaker 3: during the build up to the Olympics one of the
46:10
Speaker 3: Argentinian representatives to the International Olympic Committee had a uniquely
46:16
Speaker 3: German sounding name, and I said, how's that happen? Huh?
46:21
Speaker 3: And I brought up the fact that this pact between
46:24
Speaker 3: Argentina and Israel probably doesn't sit well with some of
46:28
Speaker 3: the folks whose family history in Argentina dates back to, oh,
46:32
Speaker 3: I don't know, the mid to late nineteen forties, as
46:37
Speaker 3: South America became the what was it called the Boys
46:41
Speaker 3: from Brazil was the other another one of those places
46:46
Speaker 3: on Adolph's Birthday, big smile to state holiday. In parts
46:50
Speaker 3: of Argentina and Brazil South America, you have Adolph sightings
46:58
Speaker 3: almost as much as you have Elvis sightings in the
47:01
Speaker 3: Midwest in the United States. But the international affairs, I'm
47:14
Speaker 3: wanting to hear what the argument is against some of
47:18
Speaker 3: these deals with Belarus, with Argentina working to make sure
47:24
Speaker 3: the Straits, these all these international trade choke points are
47:28
Speaker 3: open and not falling prey to radical beliefs on any
47:35
Speaker 3: scale where trade could be restricted. The flags of freedom
47:41
Speaker 3: must fly over our international trade. This is the premise
47:45
Speaker 3: that the United States has carried since World War II.
47:50
Speaker 3: To be fair, we probably should have been carrying it
47:53
Speaker 3: since World War One, since that's also when a lot
47:56
Speaker 3: of this started. The idea of who had naval supremacy.
48:04
Speaker 3: Jack Kennedy, naval officer, you know, for whatever you repute,
48:11
Speaker 3: pt Vote, Commander, etcetera. You know, said so much as
48:15
Speaker 3: the premise for going to the moon was that he
48:17
Speaker 3: wanted to see the oceans of space governed under a
48:20
Speaker 3: flag of freedom, just as the oceans of Earth were
48:23
Speaker 3: at that point. And here comes along Trump doing it,
48:29
Speaker 3: and even people within his own support community are like, well,
48:35
Speaker 3: hold it, well, how does that make America great again? So,
48:39
Speaker 3: having heard this and understanding what the what the premise is,
48:47
Speaker 3: how does doing something for the Iranians help make America
48:51
Speaker 3: great again? Means we can maybe stop spending so much
48:57
Speaker 3: on defense once we're done having to deal with Iran,
49:04
Speaker 3: Maybe we don't need to keep so many young men
49:07
Speaker 3: and women ready to go into harm's way for us.
49:12
Speaker 3: Maybe making sure that countries that trade with one another
49:16
Speaker 3: don't shoot at one another.
49:20
Speaker 8: In a global world.
49:21
Speaker 3: We're all told that this is a global economy. Remember
49:26
Speaker 3: we were told that make America great again was a
49:30
Speaker 3: bad premise because it's a global economy. Joe, Yeah, and
49:36
Speaker 3: America leads the globe. So why are we capitulating to
49:41
Speaker 3: a world economic forum led by bankers in countries that
49:45
Speaker 3: couldn't do any of this on their own. Without the
49:48
Speaker 3: North Atlantic Treaty Organization for the newspaper headline writers that
49:53
Speaker 3: have forgotten that the A in NATO is not for America.
50:00
Speaker 3: America Treaty Organization would be a really weird little group
50:03
Speaker 3: of you know, some quebe Quah, the rest of the
50:08
Speaker 3: Canucks from north of the border, and US one Democrat
50:14
Speaker 3: one Republican sitting there saying, I don't know when's happy hour?
50:20
Speaker 3: All right, throw Greenland in there, just to be prickly
50:23
Speaker 3: about Greenland. But these international affairs do impact America. They
50:30
Speaker 3: are part of what makes America great because if America
50:34
Speaker 3: is leading in these spheres, the rising tide lifts all ships. Now,
50:39
Speaker 3: you can argue the fact that that's not what Trump said,
50:42
Speaker 3: whatever you want to infer that President Trump said. Certainly
50:47
Speaker 3: just a simple slogan, make America great again, can be
50:50
Speaker 3: taken as literally as you like. And that's where you
50:54
Speaker 3: get the candae On Wins, Tucker Carlson's saying, well, this
50:57
Speaker 3: doesn't make America great if you just look at the
51:02
Speaker 3: moment saying, okay, a bunch of free Iranians holding free
51:05
Speaker 3: elections and you know, going to the mosques they may
51:08
Speaker 3: go to, but not radicalizing themselves and paying a bunch
51:12
Speaker 3: of terrorists to put on dynamite bombs. I think that
51:16
Speaker 3: makes America greater trade, being able to move through all
51:21
Speaker 3: these choke points without tinpot dictators or theocrats holding the
51:28
Speaker 3: world hostage. Think it, you know, in general, it makes
51:32
Speaker 3: all people great again, not just America. And you can
51:38
Speaker 3: disagree because a lot of folks are like, well, Tucker Carlson,
51:41
Speaker 3: was this, that or the other thing? Therefore, who are
51:43
Speaker 3: you to criticize him? The same guy? He is, guy
51:48
Speaker 3: with some expertise, the guy who's got a few miles
51:51
Speaker 3: on his odometer, and I've seen a few things, and
51:54
Speaker 3: so we analyze the debris field. And you can disagree.
51:57
Speaker 3: It's fine. Like I said, I go and I listen
51:59
Speaker 3: to Tucker, and I listen to Owens, and I listen
52:02
Speaker 3: to these folks Marjorie Taylor Green as much as you know,
52:05
Speaker 3: I can. You know, usually have to do it before
52:07
Speaker 3: I eat. She's becoming less and less of somebody I
52:13
Speaker 3: need to go and find and listen to. But Tucker,
52:16
Speaker 3: I'll listen to his points. I'll disagree with most of them,
52:20
Speaker 3: but then again, I'll listen to Abigail Spanberger, the governor
52:23
Speaker 3: of Virginia or Gavin Newsom disagree with everything he says,
52:27
Speaker 3: but I want to know what he said so that
52:29
Speaker 3: we can take it apart, piece by piece and find
52:35
Speaker 3: the hypocrisy. Yeah, that's often laying right there near the surface.
52:40
Speaker 3: But that's why these international things make America great again.
52:43
Speaker 3: They all do fit under that banner. Should Trump make
52:47
Speaker 3: a bigger case of it?
52:48
Speaker 22: I you know, maybe crime across the country is at
52:52
Speaker 22: an all time high. It feels like even a family
52:55
Speaker 22: road trip is taking a risk. We don't want the
52:58
Speaker 22: feeling of being unprotected and vulnerable. We found GETCCL dot com.
