• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Amaze your friends. Here In First Thing Today by Joe Thomas,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: George said.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Steal metem least for work, when the sun comes up,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: drops a kid to school. Joe has everything, add all
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: the jas needs.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: The one that Joe's as smiled. He only as.
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: Let me be Joe, thank you for letting me be
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: of service to you. And here's how that works.
• 0:35
  Speaker 5: I will tell you what went on last night. I
• 0:37
  Speaker 5: will give you my analysis of what went on last night,
• 0:41
  Speaker 5: but mostly I want to hear how it is impacting
• 0:44
  Speaker 5: you where you are. Kareem writes in so you're saying
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: the end justifies the means, and that's a common response
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: to hearing somebody say, well, you know, Trump or Lyndon
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: Johnson or whoever the president is not have been a
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: great person, but it maybe did great things. There's arguments about,
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: you know, what kind of person George Washington is, and
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: it's all part of cancel culture. It's all part and
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: parcel of cancel culture. To say, Okay, so Joe Thomas
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: had a girl break up with him because he forgot
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: her birthday or something, and therefore everything he does with
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: his radio show is null and void, and be careful
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: of that. That's a common thing to do if Donald
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: Trump is the president that ends a war with the
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: Islamists that's been going on since Thomas Jefferson first suggested
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: that it be the case. See, you're falling into the
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: Jeffersonian trap. The Declaration of Independence has to be crumpled
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: up and thrown out because Jefferson owned slaves and had
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: alleged sexual peccadillos with them. So because of that, the
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: United States has to be crumpled up and thrown away.
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: Yet if you ask about Resputin, you say, ah, well,
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: I mean the Soviet Union was about helping people, Joe,
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: and who cares if Resputant screwed around a little bit
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: to get get popular enough and get the money he needed.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: To make that happen.
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: It's it's a double standard, all designed to get rid
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: of the things you don't like until somebody else gets
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: in charge, and then they try to get rid of
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: the things you do like. Be careful of that anyway.
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: Our discussions continue either in text form at four three
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: four eight eight two four two one seven, or you
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: can call into that number and we can chat directly
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: like Joel did before. Joe and Scousen on with us
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: from the Anthem Film Festival adjunct to Freedom Fest Anthem
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: Film Festival dot Com. There we'll get back to her,
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: but I have to tell you our first things. Trump
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: administration says millions of people on tax deadline day used
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: their deductions fifty three million specifically, according to the administration,
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: used various forms and different deductions available through the One
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: Big Beautiful Bill. At six million people claimed no tax
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: on tips, twenty one million claiming the overtime deduction, and
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: thirty million of older Americans claimed enhanced senior deductions. Scott
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: Besson said Wednesday that he expects gas prices to get
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: back down below three dollars a gallon quote sooner rather
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: than later, as the Strait of Horror Moves gets reopened. Meanwhile,
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: China held a phone call with their Iranian puppets, I mean,
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: leadership had told them that the Strait of horror moves
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: must be opened. That it is a unanimous feeling on
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: the world stage working to resume a normal passage of
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: the strait is a unanimous call from the international community,
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: foreign minister Wang Ye told Abbas Arachi. Meanwhile, Russia's foreign
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: minister said that the regime in Tehran has an inalienable
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: right to enrich uranium for civilian, peaceful purposes keywords in there.
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: United States announced Wednesday it's tightening sanctions against Iran's oil
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: manufacturer and transport, now levying sanctions on two dozen people,
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: companies and ships that move the oil out of the
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: country while the battle goes on. Speaking of the battle,
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: senior Pakistani mediators were in Tehran Wednesday to try to
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: extend the ceasefire between Iran and the United States and
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: get the next round of talks between leaders of the
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: two countries. Senate Wednesday voted down an effort to restrict
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: President Trump's ability to do any more military operations in
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: Iran without specific congressional approval for each one. The latest
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: failure came at the hands of at least one Democrat
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: who crossed party lines to counteract the Republican defection of
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: Rand Paul John Fetterman was the Republican that voted with
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: all the Democrats. And South Madison Community Schools settled a
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: case with the Alliance Defending Freedom over a school counselor
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: that was fired for speaking to a journalist about the
• 5:57

  Speaker 5: our politics, and that's the maintaining and say This is
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: why the Soviets spend so much time trying to take

  Speaker 5: focus group with a demographic pass just just what you're

  Speaker 5: hearing from the folks on the phone, I'm curious.
• 16:00
  Speaker 19: Yeah, a lot of my clients seem to be nervous
• 16:03
  Speaker 19: that you know, inflation is coming, mainly because oil has
• 16:07
  Speaker 19: has gone up so much over the past couple of
• 16:09
  Speaker 19: weeks that you know that that's going to be a
• 16:11
  Speaker 19: trickle down effect to everything else. And so they feel
• 16:15
  Speaker 19: like they can't get enough silver fast enough.
• 16:18
  Speaker 20: But they want quality.

  Speaker 19: They want quality silver, which means that you know a

  Speaker 19: US minted one ounce pure silver coins you know, put
• 16:35
  Speaker 19: out every year by the US men, and that really

• 16:41
  Speaker 19: of people are interested in in these days. And I
• 16:43
  Speaker 19: do have a pretty aggressive silver eagle price there on
• 16:46
  Speaker 19: our website at jcschool dot com. Uh that you know
• 16:50
  Speaker 19: that everyone can take advantage of at the moment.

  Speaker 5: there trying to fill out a call sheet or hit
• 17:11

• 17:18
  Speaker 5: a great morning, James, thanks sharing you too. Coming up,
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: I want to get into more corruption we're finding in here.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: And it's interesting because when you see this kind of
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: stuff and you say, well, how come nobody ever gets
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: in trouble for it?
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: And I think the story.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: You may have may remember, I don't know how old
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: you are, years ago there was a governor who got
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: in trouble because his wife helped out a friend who
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: had a business, diet pill business. You know, back before
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: GLP one was all the rage and we had pharmaceutical
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: companies making money on diet pills. There's this guy named
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: Johnny Williams and he found a way to turn tobacco
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: in to a diet pill. And the governor's wife, the
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: first lady, went out and tried to say, hey, this
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: is a great company. Come to know, a great product
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: from our state. Her husband was Bob McDonald, Governor of Virginia,
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: and he got.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: Killed for it.
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: Now, to be fair, once it got to the Supreme
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: cart it got thrown out, but he didn't give him
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: the ten years of his life back for it. Funny enough,
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: now governor of Virginia, current governor of Virginia has given
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: eighteen million dollars to her husband's company. And everyone's like, well,
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: you know, so what so I want to get into
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: that with you a little bit. But Joanne, thank you
• 18:37

  Speaker 5: the code first thing one hundred when you go to
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: Freedomfest joined. But when we went into the news. In
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: the last hour, you were telling us about another one
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: of your favorite and I cut you off.
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: Because we were going to go to the news.
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: So what was that second film you wanted to tell
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: me about?
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: Joe and to we lose her?
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: Oh, I'm sorry, pick up the line Joe and put
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: James's down.
• 19:14
  Speaker 20: Is a film called A Tractor.
• 19:17
  Speaker 21: It's it's set in Russia and it's about investors, venture capitalism, invention, collaboration.
• 19:27
  Speaker 21: At one point, the main character says, we don't have
• 19:31
  Speaker 21: trouble having money.
• 19:32
  Speaker 20: We have plenty of investors.
• 19:34
  Speaker 21: We just need these people to get working and get
• 19:36
  Speaker 21: their their inventions completed so we can sell them. And
• 19:40
  Speaker 21: it was just so shocking to see this come out
• 19:42
  Speaker 21: of Russia. It's very witty. You have to read the subtitles.
• 19:45
  Speaker 21: It's it's in Russian, but so witty, so spot on,
• 19:50
  Speaker 21: and so surprising.
• 19:51
  Speaker 20: So I'm really excited about that one.
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: Do you find that a lot of the films, especially
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: with a liberty theme, coming from countries that have known
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: no government? What it was that Martin Luther King said
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: about China and Russia. They haven't committed themselves to this
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: over there, but you know where where these folks, adult folks,
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: grew up not knowing liberty and now have it.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: Is it?
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: Do you find that their art speaks to a different
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: kind of passion about freedom than than maybe even American filmmakers.
• 20:23
  Speaker 22: It does, It does, and you know it starts just
• 20:27
  Speaker 22: with that spark of self evidence of things that you
• 20:31
  Speaker 22: should be able to do without any interference, And it
• 20:34
  Speaker 22: starts with entrepreneurship.
• 20:36
  Speaker 21: They recognize instinctively that trade is the way to get ahead,
• 20:40
  Speaker 21: trade and savings.
• 20:41
  Speaker 20: And so you trade something, you trade up, you keep,
• 20:44
  Speaker 20: you use some of it, you keep more in order
• 20:47
  Speaker 20: to invest more.
• 20:49
  Speaker 21: We have a we have a film about a young
• 20:52
  Speaker 21: man who started out with a broken computer, fixed it,
• 20:55
  Speaker 21: started a little internet cafe, used his money to buy another.
• 21:00
  Speaker 21: It goes way beyond that, but just the instinctive entrepreneurship
• 21:06
  Speaker 21: of making something that somebody else wants, that somebody else
• 21:10
  Speaker 21: will trade goods to you for, and then staving to
• 21:13
  Speaker 21: invest in more and build your business. And we find
• 21:16
  Speaker 21: that instinctively. Another one is Kebob, The Dish of the Poles,
• 21:20
  Speaker 21: and it talks about immigrants coming into Poland bringing their
• 21:25
  Speaker 21: kebab recipes and suddenly Kabob is the food of the
• 21:30
  Speaker 21: Poles because they love the food. And it's a way
• 21:33
  Speaker 21: for the immigrants to to not live on welfare, but
• 21:37
  Speaker 21: to support themselves with food that you know, you just
• 21:40
  Speaker 21: do with the carts, so it doesn't require a lot
• 21:43
  Speaker 21: of investment.
• 21:44
  Speaker 20: And I have a film from from Syria.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: Well I want to hear about it. You know, having
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: grown up in New York eating a lot of chicken,
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: palm and pizza, I understand that ethnicity as well. Coming
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: up on the news Anthem film fest.

• 22:07
  Speaker 7: actually three known gases. I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric oxide
• 22:13

• 22:17

• 28:24
  Speaker 4: Sorry if that triggers you, Yeah, it's amazing.
• 28:28
  Speaker 20: You know.
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: I mentioned this earlier in the hour, be careful of
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: indulging the cancel culture. And we're seeing a master's class
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: in that now. Because we got ourselves caught up into
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: anything Joe Biden or Barack Obama wants to do has
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: to be bad. Then we've allowed ourselves to be painted
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: into a corner. And you can disagree with me on
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: this point or not, and that's fine, you're allowed to.
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: But I understand how you get to this point, because
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: sometimes war is necessary. If Thomas Jefferson himself said, after
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: meeting with the Barbary pirates and their leadership and reading
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: the Quran, said we might need to have a war
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: with these people.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: And then two hundred was it, two hundred and forty years.
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: Have interceded between that moment and now, and President Trump says,
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: you know what, enough is enough. These people have been
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: sponsoring and doing all these you know, killing marines and
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: killing civilians with their proxies like Hisbola and Hamas, and
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: we're just not going to do it anymore. They need
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: to stop paying for these people to go kill people.
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: So we're going in there and we're going to have
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: regime change. We're going to weaken the regime. Apparently there
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: are people on the ground who want to take over
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: and have it be an Iranian country again. So we're
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: trying to empower that. We're trying to bring them their
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: Second Amendment rights. Remember, we believe the Second Amendment, though
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: written in ink and English on our Constitution, is a
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: god given right to all. And President Trump, bless his heart,
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: is actually trying to infer that on Iranians so that
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: they can stand up to a government that isn't viewing
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: them as anything more than pawns in a game. But
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: it's easy to say, well, we didn't like Joe Biden,
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: so we didn't like Joe Biden and the things he did,
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: and he went to war and he had wars and
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: Americans and we abandoned Afghanistan, and so we're therefore war
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: is bad because Joe Biden did it.
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: That's but it's understandable.
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: And that's where you get Tucker Carlson and these folks
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: painted into a corner because during the Biden administration, anything
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: Joe Biden did was bad. So therefore we were anti
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: war because Joe Biden had got us into these military scrapes.
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: Barack Obama had sent marines into these things. We didn't
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: want war. And some of it is an inference if
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: you go back and listen to President Trump's speeches talking
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: about new wars, and it could be pedantic or not,
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: but this isn't a new war. This is why, just
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: a few days ago, on Thomas Jefferson's birthday, we celebrated
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: by reading to you what he wrote about the Islamists
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: and the heart held, deeply held religious beliefs that they
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: carry with them that could be bought off with some
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: silver from the US Treasury, John Adams, Barack Obama, indistinguishable.
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: Just keep the payoffs coming and we won't break your stuff.
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: We won't show up in a dynamite fest. And President
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: Trump said no. But everyone's like, but.
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: You said no new wars, and now we look at
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: you got it.
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: This is why a world of ones and Zeros and
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: blacks and whites lead you to this place. And don't
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: let the Marxists drag you here anyway. Joeanne Scousen on
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: the Newsmaker's line with US Anthemfilmfestival dot com. Anthemfilmfest dot
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: com is where you find it. Freedomfest dot com is
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: the overarching conference. It's July eighth. It begins July eighth
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: in Las Vegas, as we kick off the next two
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: hundred and fifty years. And right as we were going
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: to the news Joeanne again, you know pad timing on
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: my part, or the fact that the news comes when
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: the news comes. But you were about to tell us
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: about a film out of Syria about.
• 32:59
  Speaker 21: It economic renewal and how freedom is finding its way there.
• 33:04
  Speaker 21: One I'm from Bulgarian and several from Iran. I get
• 33:07
  Speaker 21: more films from Iran than any other thing.
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: You always have.
• 33:10
  Speaker 20: We try to show three or four.
• 33:12
  Speaker 21: Yeah, and right now it's so significant because of what's happening.
• 33:17
  Speaker 21: To see the juxtaposition of eight million people protesting the
• 33:22
  Speaker 21: president of the United States with no repercussions whatsoever on
• 33:26
  Speaker 21: their No King's Day, and then to see how forty
• 33:30
  Speaker 21: two thousand protesters in Iran were executed for protesting. And
• 33:37
  Speaker 21: one of my most heartbreaking films is called Cuba's Eternal Night,
• 33:41
  Speaker 21: and it focuses on four or five individual stories of
• 33:46
  Speaker 21: people who are affected by the oppression in Cuba. And
• 33:51
  Speaker 21: one is a father whose son and daughter were both
• 33:54
  Speaker 21: arrested for protesting and are in two different prisons. These
• 33:57
  Speaker 21: are real stories and I had to walk away from
• 34:01
  Speaker 21: that one. I was crying so much watching this film
• 34:05
  Speaker 21: that I couldn't watch another one. I had to go
• 34:07
  Speaker 21: for a walk and just reflect on the plight these
• 34:11
  Speaker 21: people who deserve freedom, who deserve life, liberty and happiness,
• 34:17
  Speaker 21: and they don't have it, and we do. And it
• 34:19
  Speaker 21: doesn't just belong to us, it belongs to the world.
• 34:23
  Speaker 21: And that's one reason I started this festival, is to
• 34:26
  Speaker 21: give people.
• 34:27
  Speaker 20: In other countries a voice in their plea for freedom.
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: Oh that's so beautiful.
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: Joe An Scousen is on with us. She is the manager,
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: the director, the creative force behind the Anthem Film Festival
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: and it's coming up as part of Freedom Fest Adjunct
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: two happens at the same time. She's married to you know, Mark,
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: So you know, this is a family business of liberty
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: for you folks, and hopefully you know, we get a
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: ton of people. Hey, and Valerie has told us we
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: could use there's a discount call code called first Thing
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: one hundred and if you use that when you go there,
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: you get one hundred dollars off your ticket. First Thing
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: one hundred is the discount code. If you want to
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: join us in Las Vegas, to kick off the next
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: two hundred and fifty years. You were talking about all
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: these films from all these places, Joanne, with this theme
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: of this empowerment when liberty is found. I think that's
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: an important message for American film coers who are sitting
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: here saying, well, I want the right to this or
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: I want the right to that. And it always involves
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: even things John Locke warned about, which was you can't
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: have the right to somebody else's services. And yet that's
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: what we seem to want.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: We want somebody to take care of this for us,
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: or take care of the other thing for us. Do
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: we need to check up on how we treat liberty
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: here in the United States.
• 36:01
  Speaker 20: I think we do.
• 36:02
  Speaker 21: I think there's something wrong with encouraging people to have
• 36:06
  Speaker 21: their hands in someone else's pocket. It's one thing to
• 36:10
  Speaker 21: ask and it's another thing to demand. When I saw
• 36:14
  Speaker 21: this film about Cuba, my heart and my mind, my goods.
• 36:18
  Speaker 20: Went toward him.
• 36:20
  Speaker 21: But to have somebody else's hand in your pocket, there's
• 36:23
  Speaker 21: something wrong with this. I love mad and Terry Kiddy
• 36:27
  Speaker 21: run for the people, and I love their motto don't
• 36:29

  Speaker 7: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 39:13

  Speaker 7: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any

• 39:32
  Speaker 7: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 39:37
  Speaker 7: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 39:42
  Speaker 7: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and

  Speaker 7: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

  Speaker 28: Hi Jack, Hannah and it's always a boy. Growing up
• 41:02
  Speaker 28: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not only in all of.
• 41:06
  Speaker 28: Their beauty and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic.
• 41:08
  Speaker 28: Just look at the birds who gather supplies to build nests,
• 41:11
  Speaker 28: or Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
• 41:15
  Speaker 28: or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
• 41:17
  Speaker 28: secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
• 41:21
  Speaker 28: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
• 41:23
  Speaker 28: in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
• 41:26
  Speaker 28: by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
• 41:29
  Speaker 28: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 41:32
  Speaker 28: they also perform life saving work every day.
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: Dogs keep us.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Safe at airports.
• 41:36
  Speaker 28: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from pts.
• 41:39
  Speaker 28: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
• 41:42
  Speaker 28: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
• 41:45
  Speaker 28: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
• 41:47
  Speaker 28: in need. So please join me an American Humane and

• 42:01
  Speaker 20: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 42:05
  Speaker 18: And now a speech.
• 42:07
  Speaker 13: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
• 42:11
  Speaker 13: heart and brain.
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: Who's with me?
• 42:13
  Speaker 13: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
• 42:16
  Speaker 13: brain is saying when it's time to go home.
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: Somebody call me a ride.

  Speaker 23: Love that guy, me too.

  Speaker 1: We've cut the cost of radio listening by hell it
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: didn't cost anything in the first place. So let's say
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: what million dollars. First thing today by Joe Thomas on
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: the Dunk Media Network.
• 44:27
  Speaker 17: As long as you got.
• 44:37
  Speaker 8: On the air, What's on your mind.
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: On the radio program that'll tell you what went on
• 44:49
  Speaker 5: last night. But would really like to add to the
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: wiki your thoughts on how it impacts you. I like
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: this email. I like this one because it's thinking and
• 45:00
  Speaker 5: it's digging on the idea of earlier we were talking
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: about President Trump and everyone's trying to, you know, cancel
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: everything he did because he saw a AI generated image
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: of him, you know, trying to help the people of
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: Iran that depicted him. I've talked to at least fifty
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: people and they all like, yeah, it looks like Jesus
• 45:26
  Speaker 5: so and they're all say to those of them Martin
• 45:30
  Speaker 5: Trump supporters. But I'm not throwing out all the stuff
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: he's done towards making us a freer country by getting
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: rid of the bureaucracies and putting the power back in
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: the hands and the money back in the hands. I'd
• 45:44
  Speaker 5: like him to do more to make our dollar more valuable.
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: But he has three more two and a half more years,
• 45:52
  Speaker 5: so I'm gonna, you know, with whole judgment on that.
• 45:56
  Speaker 5: So all of that going on, I think he's dealing
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: with things that we wanted him to deal with. And
• 46:04
  Speaker 5: so the question was do the ends justify the means?
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: And I don't believe that's the argument here. The argument
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: is if somebody isn't a great person but they do
• 46:13
  Speaker 5: a great thing, does that diminish the great thing? I mean,
• 46:18
  Speaker 5: if you accept the commonly held trope that Thomas Jefferson,
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: well obvious he did own slaves, even if you read
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: his Treatise against slavery and his treaties on what's going
• 46:30
  Speaker 5: to have to happen when it ends, even if you
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: acknowledge those documents, you say, yeah, but Sally Hemmings, these
• 46:40
  Speaker 5: are the people who want to crumple up the Declaration
• 46:43
  Speaker 5: of Independence and the US Constitution because slavery existed, because
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: South Carolina. And yet South Carolina gets no rebuke for
• 46:54
  Speaker 5: being the ones who took the slavery section out of
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: the abuses and usurpations get.
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: The hall pass for it.
• 47:04
  Speaker 5: So be careful of, you know, getting painted into a
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: corner in this well. If he did it, I'm against it.
• 47:11
  Speaker 5: If I do it, I'm for it. That Marxist and
• 47:15
  Speaker 5: I mean Groucho in this case, anything you know you want,
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: I'm against it. Because sometimes you can debate what kind
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: of war Joe Biden sending people willy nilly or poorly
• 47:29
  Speaker 5: planned exits and things like that. That's that is a
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: reasonable discussion. But just saying no wars ever is going
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: to leave you getting occupied by a foreign country, Canada, Mexico,
• 47:44
  Speaker 5: you name it.
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what are you standing up for?
• 47:47
  Speaker 5: That's the bigger problem in America's Americans don't want to
• 47:51
  Speaker 5: stand up for America because for ten to twenty years
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: we've been gaslighted into thinking the things that America stands.
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: For are exploit.
• 48:02
  Speaker 5: That's what I love about Joanne's films and the film
• 48:04
  Speaker 5: festival there. Anyway, further in further Up we go, Clark
• 48:09
  Speaker 5: is on the line at four three four eight eight
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: two four two one seven Morning Clark. How are you
• 48:14
  Speaker 5: doing in Alabama?
• 48:14
  Speaker 24: Sir?
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: I'm all good, Joe.
• 48:18
  Speaker 17: Before we get to the real thing I called for,
• 48:21
  Speaker 17: I cannot speak for everybody else, but I never said
• 48:26
  Speaker 17: that everything Obama and Biden did was bad. Some of
• 48:31
  Speaker 17: it was pathetic, some of it was sad, some of
• 48:35
  Speaker 17: it was horrifying. None of it was good, but I
• 48:38
  Speaker 17: never said it was all bad.
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: Okay, now there's some gears working there.
• 48:46
  Speaker 26: Yeah.
• 48:47
  Speaker 17: Now, about an hour ago, maybe a little bit less,
• 48:50
  Speaker 17: you were talking about headed towards corruption, and as I
• 48:56
  Speaker 17: had healthy arteries making gazzes, I thought about.
• 48:59
  Speaker 20: That till.
• 49:03
  Speaker 17: It would appear to me that at least half of
• 49:07
  Speaker 17: our lawmakers are criminals. I know for a certain fact
• 49:12
  Speaker 17: that at least the top two echelons of our law
• 49:18
  Speaker 17: enforcement agencies a decade ago, we're criminals, as in, they
• 49:26
  Speaker 17: broke a law, we head towards Well.
• 49:29
  Speaker 5: This is what I was talking about with Joel yesterday
• 49:32
  Speaker 5: is what happens is these folks. And in this volume,
• 49:36
  Speaker 5: this this density of legality, not only does it give
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: rise to what Harvey Silverglade very aptly calls in his
• 49:45
  Speaker 5: book three felonies a day, it also creates all the
• 49:51
  Speaker 5: loopholes that the elected officials need because they know the law,
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: they wrote the law, and they have a staff of
• 49:58
  Speaker 5: people pouring through the law.
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: Can can I do this? If I do this.
• 50:02
  Speaker 5: Thing, can then the thing I do later get passed
• 50:07
  Speaker 5: regardless of sovereign immunity And those sorts of things that
• 50:11
  Speaker 5: attached to a lot of things that they do. This
• 50:13
  Speaker 5: was what I was mentioning earlier on. George Mason knew
• 50:18
  Speaker 5: that any human being that was going to take a
• 50:21
  Speaker 5: representative seat in America's government was going to wind up
• 50:25
  Speaker 5: in that chair with seven deadly vices wired into the programming.
• 50:30
  Speaker 5: This isn't a virus, this isn't a hack. We come
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: pre wired from the factory with these and it's because
• 50:37
  Speaker 5: we live in the devil's dominion. That's where we find
• 50:41
  Speaker 5: ourselves going all the time. So the best way to
• 50:45
  Speaker 5: inoculate yourself from that particular COVID virus is to limit
• 50:51
  Speaker 5: how much power these offices have. And if you limit
• 50:56
  Speaker 5: the amount of power the offices have, then the corruption
• 51:00
  Speaker 5: it doesn't matter so much.
• 51:02
  Speaker 17: Well, we're supposed to have limited power, but somehow we
• 51:06
  Speaker 17: got away from that. Hey, with all your big time
• 51:08
  Speaker 17: media connections, is there any way that you can get
• 51:15
  Speaker 17: a hold of Steven Miller's people. I heard him talking
• 51:18
  Speaker 17: on Equipped to him last night, Joe, here's a radio
• 51:24
  Speaker 17: show we really need to have, and that would be
• 51:26
  Speaker 17: Crackers and Steve.
• 51:29
  Speaker 5: You being the Cracker and Steve, well, you know he.
• 51:33
  Speaker 29: Was talking about with in reference to the Swallwell thing.
• 51:38
  Speaker 29: He said, you know, this is just evidence that the
• 51:42
  Speaker 29: Democrat Party has a folder on every member and this
• 51:48
  Speaker 29: is the blackmail they use to keep people in line.
• 51:51
  Speaker 29: And I'm thinking, you keep going, you got it here.
• 51:55
  Speaker 29: He detailed everything I've been saying there. I just I
• 51:58
  Speaker 29: thought it was nice to hear some on the national
• 52:01
  Speaker 29: stage point this out.
• 52:04
  Speaker 17: And I got to thinking about that. You know the
• 52:06
  Speaker 17: difference between the Democrats going after a Republican and the
• 52:12
  Speaker 17: Democrats going after a Democrat. Joe, what's that they go
• 52:17
  Speaker 17: after a Democrat? They ain't got to make nothing up.
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: That's right, They've got them cold. I was there when
• 52:26
  Speaker 5: you did this. You remember, good stuff, Clark. I appreciated, sir.
• 52:31
  Speaker 5: Take care four three four eight eight two four two
• 52:35
  Speaker 5: one seven. Maureene asks, so if two guys meet and
• 52:39
  Speaker 5: they cure cancer, but they do it while they're at
• 52:42
  Speaker 5: Epstein's Island, is the cancer cure still cure cancer?
• 52:47
