Speaker 1: Reverend, hearts the honor thos who fell so that our
0:09
Speaker 1: republic might stand.
0:11
Speaker 2: On your to do list. Putting the radio on is
0:13
Speaker 2: the first thing today.
0:15
Speaker 3: Jew Ward said, steal me step a day at least
0:21
Speaker 3: for work, when the sun comes up, drops a kid
0:23
Speaker 3: to school.

Speaker 5: Joe, bless you for letting us be of service to you.
0:43
Speaker 6: Joe.
0:45
Speaker 5: Back at it.
0:45
Speaker 1: Those who died so that our nation could live, Those
0:48
Speaker 1: who gave up their sacred light on earth, so that
0:53
Speaker 1: the sublime light of American freedom would shine forever and ever.
1:00
Speaker 5: At some of the President's remarks yesterday at the tomb
1:03
Speaker 5: of the unknown Arlington National Cemetery and echoing around military
1:10
Speaker 5: cemeteries around the world and wherever American service personnel are
1:16
Speaker 5: interned after their sacrifices for us. And I've said it
1:20
Speaker 5: before and I'm going to say it again, because you know,
1:23
Speaker 5: people come and go, and you never know who's where
1:26
Speaker 5: and when. Our part of that negotiation is making sure
1:36
Speaker 5: that the things that they battled for, the things that
1:40
Speaker 5: they swore an oath to mean something. The constitution, and
1:49
Speaker 5: a lot of that means getting into the minutia, getting
1:58
Speaker 5: into the nitty gritty of whether or not we have
2:09
Speaker 5: constitutional representation, all this stuff that sounds like I'm slicing
2:15
Speaker 5: the bologne so thin it could make prijut or you'll
2:19
Speaker 5: just pass it off as persute. Yeah, no, it's h
2:23
Speaker 5: it's presut.
2:24
Speaker 7: No.
2:24
Speaker 5: No, I know it looks a little like maloney, but
2:26
Speaker 5: it's real thing. You don't get balooney that thin. You
2:33
Speaker 5: know you've picked the wrong caterer. When it's charcouterie board.
2:40
Speaker 5: Does it come with presut It comes with thinly sliced bolooney.
2:49
Speaker 5: So when we get into these things that sound so obscure,
2:54
Speaker 5: it's because these men and women gave their lives so
2:58
Speaker 5: that we could live in this free society. And making
3:03
Speaker 5: sure it stays a free society is our job. It's
3:07
Speaker 5: our mission. Our first things this morning missile strikes. According
3:13
Speaker 5: to the President, they were self defense strikes in southern Iran,
3:19
Speaker 5: including missile launch sites and boats placing minds in the
3:23
Speaker 5: Strait of Hormuz. He said, Otherwise, the negotiations with leadership
3:28
Speaker 5: in Iran are quote proceeding nicely. Meanwhile, the deal that's
3:32
Speaker 5: being discussed between the US and Iran is not a
3:37
Speaker 5: good deal for Israel, according to Netanyahu's party's opposition leader,
3:43
Speaker 5: Y'r Lapede said Monday, part of an alliance attempting a
3:49
Speaker 5: parliamentary push to unseat net Nyahu's Prime minister said details
3:55
Speaker 5: are emerging that are disturbing. The deal is bad for Israel,
4:00
Speaker 5: the region, bad for the citizens of Iran, Lapede told
4:04
Speaker 5: reporters in Jerusalem. Voters in the Lone Star state getting
4:08
Speaker 5: ready to make their second run at dominating a candidate
4:12
Speaker 5: for the US Senate. Their primary runoff, election number two,
4:17
Speaker 5: is Tuesday. Incumbent John Cornyn just barely edged ag Ken
4:22
Speaker 5: Paxton two weeks ago in a three way contest forty
4:25
Speaker 5: one to forty, but neither got to the fifty percent
4:30
Speaker 5: to earn the nomination outright. Pope Leo the fourteenth called
4:35
Speaker 5: Monday for robust regulation of artificial intelligence and for its
4:40
Speaker 5: developers to work for the common good rather than for profit.
4:44
Speaker 5: In his Magnifica Humanitis, Leo's first encyclical, he denounced the
4:55
Speaker 5: culture of power driving the AI development race. After three
5:01
Speaker 5: terms in the US House and two unsuccessful campaigns for
5:05
Speaker 5: the US Senate, Colin Alred said he's heard plenty about
5:09
Speaker 5: voters suspicions that politicians are just trying to make a
5:13
Speaker 5: buck in Washington. Alred said, what about the stock trading
5:16
Speaker 5: in Congress? What about people getting rich in Congress? And
5:21
Speaker 5: I have to say to them, you're absolutely right about that.
5:23
Speaker 5: We need to be better. He's challenging Congressoman and Julie
5:27
Speaker 5: Johnson in the Democratic Party runoff in the Dallas area
5:31
Speaker 5: House seat that has been redistricted. On Tuesday, President Trump
5:39
Speaker 5: played the clip of him at Arlington. Said federal agencies
5:43
Speaker 5: are out roughly one hundred and eighty six billion dollars
5:46
Speaker 5: according to the Government Accountability Office after an audit of
5:52
Speaker 5: the fiscal year twenty twenty five figure mark twenty four
5:56
Speaker 5: billion dollars more than was lost in fraud the Fiery Year.

Speaker 11: Considered by most. Optimized curcumin is one of the few
8:07
Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
8:13
Speaker 11: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
8:18
Speaker 11: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
8:22
Speaker 11: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
8:26
Speaker 11: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
8:31
Speaker 11: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
8:36
Speaker 11: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
8:42
Speaker 11: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
8:46
Speaker 11: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
8:51
Speaker 11: healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

9:21

9:37
Speaker 12: or send money in any form cash, gift cards, wire transfers,

Speaker 12: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
9:46
Speaker 12: enforcement on the Office of the Inspector General at OIG
9:51

9:56
Speaker 12: and family.
9:58
Speaker 13: Hi, everybody, I'm Jack Hannah. It's always a boy growing
10:01
Speaker 13: up on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
10:04
Speaker 13: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
10:06
Speaker 13: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
10:08
Speaker 13: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
10:12
Speaker 13: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
10:15
Speaker 13: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
10:17
Speaker 13: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
10:21
Speaker 13: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
10:23
Speaker 13: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
10:25
Speaker 13: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
10:29
Speaker 13: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
10:32
Speaker 13: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
10:35
Speaker 13: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
10:38
Speaker 13: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
10:41
Speaker 13: a change.
10:42
Speaker 2: In their blood chemistry.
10:43
Speaker 13: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
10:45
Speaker 13: contribute to society and help those in need. So please
10:48
Speaker 13: join me an American Humane and supporting our heroic working
10:51
Speaker 13: dogs and all the amazing animals on this planet we
10:54
Speaker 13: inhabit together. Go to American Humane dot org to learn more.
11:00
Speaker 8: Bruh, that's buzzed.
11:01
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
11:05
Speaker 8: And now a speech.
11:06
Speaker 11: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
11:10
Speaker 11: heart and brain.
11:12
Speaker 14: Who's with me?
11:13
Speaker 8: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
11:15
Speaker 8: brain is saying when it's time to go home, Somebody.
11:18
Speaker 15: Call me a ride.
11:19
Speaker 16: Love that guy, Me too, know your buzzed warning signs,
11:23
Speaker 16: call for a ride when it's time to go home.
11:24
Speaker 14: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
11:28
Speaker 17: Did you know that more than half our household energy
11:31
Speaker 17: costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
11:35
Speaker 17: good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
11:39
Speaker 17: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
11:42
Speaker 17: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
11:46
Speaker 17: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.

12:32
Speaker 18: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
12:35

13:13
Speaker 2: Amaze your friends here in the First Thing Today by
13:17
Speaker 2: Joe Thomas.
13:19
Speaker 10: I don't know what they have to say.
13:21
Speaker 6: It makes no difference.
13:22
Speaker 2: In any way.
13:23
Speaker 11: Whatever it is, I'm against it.
13:26
Speaker 10: Not about it is or who commenced it, I'm against it.
13:31
Speaker 5: You know, when we call our American politicians Marxists, many
13:37
Speaker 5: of you don't get the nuance of that. Many of
13:39
Speaker 5: them are just groucho Marxists. They are feathering their own
13:44
Speaker 5: political nest by simply being against whatever the other guy
13:48
Speaker 5: is for. It's limiting, but in this day and age,
13:52
Speaker 5: it works. It works until there's a new guy or gal,
14:01
Speaker 5: and then you find yourself being against that and you're like, uh, shoot.
14:08
Speaker 5: But that's what we've come to because we've we've dissuaded
14:14
Speaker 5: so many people from even participating. We get thirty and
14:18
Speaker 5: forty percent turnouts for our state wide races. Gosh, I've
14:22
Speaker 5: seen some statewide races pulling all whopping twenty five percent
14:27
Speaker 5: voter turnout because they are like, ah, it doesn't make
14:30
Speaker 5: a difference. That's the biggest problem as we get past
14:38
Speaker 5: Memorial to do we have that next clip President Trump
14:42
Speaker 5: yesterday and not belaboring because I want to get into
14:45
Speaker 5: what Pope Leo said yesterday more than I want to
14:48
Speaker 5: get into what President Trump said yesterday. But this is notable.
14:55
Speaker 1: Before we hail the founding, we honor the fallen, before
14:58
Speaker 1: we celebrate the try, If we pay the tribute, before
15:02
Speaker 1: we crown the.
15:03
Speaker 2: Victory, we count the cost.
15:05
Speaker 1: Today we are reminded that there could be no fourth
15:09
Speaker 1: of July without America's armed forces, and there could be
15:12
Speaker 1: no Independence Day without Memorial Day.
15:16
Speaker 5: My favorite part of the Internet is when they go on,
15:20
Speaker 5: as usual, what your dumb it? Memorial Day came after
15:24
Speaker 5: Independence Day? Oh my gosh, and this groucho Marxists. These
15:32
Speaker 5: are the people who Donald Trump could announce that the
15:35
Speaker 5: Department of Health and Human Services has cured cancer and
15:39
Speaker 5: their first reaction would be that he's put all those
15:47
Speaker 5: cancer doctors out of work, that what are we going
15:53
Speaker 5: to do with longer life expectancies? Homelessness will go up,
15:57
Speaker 5: there will be you know just Donald trum Rump is cured.
16:00
Speaker 5: Cancer extended Americans life expectancies by ten years. Massive unemployment
16:10
Speaker 5: in the healthcare industry because cancer has been beaten in
16:14
Speaker 5: Alzheimer's disease is being defeated. Activists worn against senior homelessness
16:24
Speaker 5: now as jobs for those who are over sixty five
16:30
Speaker 5: dwindle blah blah blah blah blah. I mean, you don't
16:33
Speaker 5: have to be mel Brooks to be able to see
16:36
Speaker 5: the scenario because these people are stuck in what we
16:42
Speaker 5: talked about yesterday. If you were busy because you have
16:45
Speaker 5: a holiday, I get it. Yesterday we spent some time
16:47
Speaker 5: again with a common theme of this program that we
16:51
Speaker 5: get lost in the fruit of our tree and we
16:56
Speaker 5: don't take care of the tree itself. We have things
17:00
Speaker 5: that are there because we were a free country. We
17:05
Speaker 5: have the technology to do amazing things because we were
17:09
Speaker 5: a free country. Where in the late seventies and early eighties,
17:14
Speaker 5: once we pride technology out of the hands of the
17:17
Speaker 5: military industrial complex, look at what happened. And ever since,
17:21
Speaker 5: the military industrial intelligence complex has been struggling to try
17:25
Speaker 5: to put the genie back in the box. And some
17:30
Speaker 5: of them are smart enough they're like, all right, fine,
17:32
Speaker 5: so they have technology. Now we can watch them. Now
17:36
Speaker 5: we can see what they're doing, because now they're on
17:39
Speaker 5: the public streets all the time. They think they're in
17:43
Speaker 5: their basement or in their dining room, they're out on
17:47
Speaker 5: the street corner where we can watch them. And that's
17:51
Speaker 5: the argument, that's the privacy argument that faces us today.
17:55
Speaker 5: So with that and by all means you join in
17:58
Speaker 5: at four three, four eight eight two four two one
18:01
Speaker 5: seven on theme. But I want to talk about Pope
18:03
Speaker 5: Leo and his first encyclical. So Pope Leo issues this
18:24
Speaker 5: first encyclical.
18:28
Speaker 3: Sea.
18:31
Speaker 5: And he's talking about AI. Why because that's what people
18:39
Speaker 5: do now, that's the new thing. That's the new thing
18:43
Speaker 5: that will curve our spines, infect our souls, and keep
18:46
Speaker 5: the Allies from winning the war. Magnifica humanity us I
18:54
Speaker 5: was corrected on my Latin. I'm still not doing it right.
18:57
Speaker 5: I'm sure Magnificent Humanity was the title of the encyclical.
19:08
Speaker 5: And you know the language is still to me falls flat.
19:15
Speaker 5: Not a Catholic, not a Catholic, Christian, not Catholic. Just
19:21
Speaker 5: to be fair, certainly, you know when when somebody like
19:29
Speaker 5: the Pope comes out with one of these things. Your
19:32
Speaker 5: hope is that he is trying to bring his followers,
19:40
Speaker 5: the members of his church and the world community of
19:43
Speaker 5: Christians writ large, to a place where they understand that
19:51
Speaker 5: artificial intelligence, just like the assembly line was one hundred
19:55
Speaker 5: years ago, is simply an inanimate object, and that if
20:00
Speaker 5: it is used for good, it is an uplifting, life
20:06
Speaker 5: changing machine. If it is used for evil, it is devastating.
20:15
Speaker 5: It's like a firearm, just like an automobile or a
20:19
Speaker 5: baseball bat, or a radio show or a political office.
20:25
Speaker 5: These things don't exist in good or bad iterations. It
20:29
Speaker 5: is the people who pick those tools up and how
20:36
Speaker 5: they wield them, and their morality. This is the guy
20:48
Speaker 5: we turn to to say, we already have a list
20:51
Speaker 5: of rules for the Internet. Moses arrived at the foot
20:55
Speaker 5: of the mountain with the list of the rules for
20:58
Speaker 5: the Internet. There are my ten rules for commanding artificial intelligence.
21:05
Speaker 5: But he can't do that because the Pope, like a president,
21:10
Speaker 5: like a prime minister, sadly is driven by the idea
21:16
Speaker 5: of how to get more butts in the seats. How
21:22
Speaker 5: do you fill Wrigley Field with Cubs fans when you've
21:25
Speaker 5: just sold all the cubs best players for ninety percent
21:30
Speaker 5: revamping of your minor league system. And that's what the
21:41
Speaker 5: Pope has been crippled by this for some time, where
21:43
Speaker 5: the Catholic church leaders say we need more people on
21:47
Speaker 5: Sundays at Mass putting money into the contribution tray, rather
21:57
Speaker 5: than saying, hey, we've got a list of rules already
22:00
Speaker 5: for Aiy Brandt.
22:02
Speaker 2: And her name is Shay I love.
22:04
Speaker 20: She's a friend of mine who we were just praying
22:06
Speaker 20: for because of a surgery. She just went through.
22:09
Speaker 21: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
22:11
Speaker 21: talk about all the time, which is meta share. That
22:14
Speaker 21: is right.
22:14
Speaker 20: Yeah, So what was your experience like with meta share
22:17
Speaker 20: and healthcare ability?
22:18
Speaker 21: Honestly, Brandt seamless and what a blessing that is when
22:21
Speaker 21: you're already nervous about a health issue which I was,
22:24
Speaker 21: members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
22:27
Speaker 21: me tell you, having people pray with you when you
22:30
Speaker 21: call in with your need that is just refreshing. Yes,
22:34
Speaker 21: that's what it is.
22:35
Speaker 5: I keep telling people.
22:36
Speaker 20: People love meda share and they love saving money. Typical
22:40
Speaker 20: family can save five hundred dollars a month.
22:42
Speaker 21: I am very thankful for meta share it is so different,
22:46

Speaker 12: Hi.
23:01
Speaker 4: I'm doctor Michael Bailey, President of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
23:06
Speaker 4: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
23:11
Speaker 4: better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
23:15
Speaker 4: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports
23:20
Speaker 4: veterinary teams in exciting ways.
23:23
Speaker 5: We're using AI to.
23:24
Speaker 4: Develop personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
23:30
Speaker 4: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
23:34
Speaker 4: on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
23:40
Speaker 4: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
23:44
Speaker 4: AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
23:48
Speaker 4: your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
23:53
Speaker 4: center of our profession. For more information on AI and

Speaker 11: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
24:07
Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
24:12
Speaker 11: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
24:18
Speaker 11: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
24:22
Speaker 11: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
24:26
Speaker 11: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
24:31
Speaker 11: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
24:36
Speaker 11: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
24:42
Speaker 11: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
24:45
Speaker 11: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
24:50
Speaker 11: healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

25:56
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
26:00
Speaker 8: And now a speech.
26:02
Speaker 15: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
26:06
Speaker 15: art and brain.
26:07
Speaker 14: Who's with me?
26:08
Speaker 8: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
26:11
Speaker 8: brain is saying when it's time to go home. Somebody
26:14
Speaker 8: call me a ride.
26:15
Speaker 22: Love that guy, me too.

26:23
Speaker 17: Did you know that more than half our household energy
26:26
Speaker 17: costs go to.
26:26
Speaker 14: Heating and cooling.
26:28
Speaker 17: Energy efficiency isn't just good for the environment, It means
26:31
Speaker 17: lower utility bills too. One way to reduce your energy
26:35
Speaker 17: waste is a home energy assessment. Your utility company can help,
26:40
Speaker 17: or you can learn how to do it yourself at
26:42
Speaker 17: energysavers dot gov. That's Energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to
26:46
Speaker 17: look for air leaks around windows and doors, check ducks
26:49
Speaker 17: for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time to cut
26:53
Speaker 17: energy costs is when you shop for a new appliance.
26:56
Speaker 17: Look for the energy star logo and read the energy
26:59
Speaker 17: guide later. And there are day to day things you
27:02
Speaker 17: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
27:05
Speaker 17: in the summer, close fireplace stampers when they're not in use,
27:09
Speaker 17: and keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

27:47

Speaker 2: We cut the cost of radio listening. By all, it
28:14
Speaker 2: didn't cost anything in the first place. So let's say
28:17
Speaker 2: one million dollars. I'm called first Thing today by Joe Thomas.
28:24
Speaker 2: I'm the Trunk Media Network.
28:31
Speaker 5: Now you know what we do here, fired up that
28:36
Speaker 5: we are. We tell you what went on last night.
28:41
Speaker 5: We'll give you our analysis of it. And sometimes it
28:44
Speaker 5: is controversial. Sometimes it doesn't square with you. Sometimes it
28:49
Speaker 5: isn't what you've been getting from all the other sites.
28:52
Speaker 5: And that's okay. In the other shows you can call
28:55
Speaker 5: and say, hey, so and so said something opposite. That's fine,
29:00
Speaker 5: Vivla different once. But for example, so, we just did
29:12
Speaker 5: a piece on this encyclical on artificial intelligence, and I
29:18
Speaker 5: was hopeful that an American might grasp this and hope
29:26
Speaker 5: is really, you know, the the cornerstones of faith, right.
29:34
Speaker 5: I was hopeful that Pope Leo would say, we need
29:37
Speaker 5: to be moral people. AI isn't going to be moral
29:41
Speaker 5: until we are. Of course, I'm not pontiff, so several
29:45
Speaker 5: things disqualify me from being pontiff. Most informatively is that
29:52
Speaker 5: I'm not Catholic, but I do understand the Ten Commandments.
29:56
Speaker 5: And this is as somebody who is on that offshoot
30:01
Speaker 5: of Catholicism called Protestantism. The heresy of Martin Luther was
30:09
Speaker 5: that he said, we could print these things in people's
30:13
Speaker 5: native languages and then they could read them themselves, rather
30:17
Speaker 5: than waiting for Pope Leo to tell us what good
30:20
Speaker 5: and bad is. So apologies, but you know, I get
30:26
Speaker 5: to read the Ten Commandments myself. I know everyone gets
30:30
Speaker 5: to read them now, but at the time and I
30:32
Speaker 5: will still get people saying, you know, Martin Luther was
30:35
Speaker 5: a pedophile. I mean, it's almost to the point where
30:37
Speaker 5: there are AI generated pictures of Martin Luther with Jeffrey Epstein.
30:48
Speaker 5: But Marcus writes into four three four eight A two
30:52
Speaker 5: four two one seven listening to us in Youngstown. So
30:56
Speaker 5: I appreciate you guys out there sending a lot of
30:58
Speaker 5: people to the streams are flagship station is down because
31:02
Speaker 5: of a Windows update, and so all these folks who
31:05
Speaker 5: listen to us generally online. You know, this is, by
31:09
Speaker 5: the way, a programming note. Maybe we should have our
31:12
Speaker 5: own dedicated word. A lot of folks who listen to
31:15
Speaker 5: us online, who have listened to me for many, many years,
31:18
Speaker 5: have been listening on our flagship station. We should just
31:21
Speaker 5: have like a Joe Thomas in the Morning stream you
31:25
Speaker 5: can just hear. You just go to I mean, we
31:28
Speaker 5: have the website. It's Joe Thomas in the Morning dot com.
31:31
Speaker 5: It's probably just a plug in. I mean, I've got
31:36
Speaker 5: a cup of Java. But that's about it. I don't know.
31:39
Speaker 5: I do speak a little Java, mostly Jiva. But Marcus asks,
31:47
Speaker 5: how does the Ten Commandments govern Ai? It doesn't govern Ai.
31:54
Speaker 5: It governs the people who will grab Ai. It begins,
32:00
Speaker 5: I mean number one, you shall have no other gods
32:03
Speaker 5: before me, And this becomes the part two. Of course,
32:16
Speaker 5: you shall make no false idols any likeness of anything
32:23
Speaker 5: that is in heaven above, or that is in the
32:25
Speaker 5: earth beneath, or that is the water under the earth.
32:29
Speaker 5: You shall not now bow, dow to them, or serve them.
32:33
Speaker 5: For I the Lord your God, am a jealous god,
32:36
Speaker 5: visiting the iniquity of my fathers, of the fathers upon
32:39
Speaker 5: the children to the third and fourth generations of those
32:43
Speaker 5: who hate me, but showing mercy to thousands to those
32:46
Speaker 5: who love me. And keep my commandments humility, humility and
32:58
Speaker 5: understanding role, and that you know you may be able
33:02
Speaker 5: to create things that look godly that can be used
33:08
Speaker 5: to manipulate people, and you and four generations of your
33:16
Speaker 5: progeny will be damned for it and will be paying
33:21
Speaker 5: penance for it. You shall not take the Lord's name
33:25
Speaker 5: in vain. I got in trouble for this once because
33:28
Speaker 5: I said, I'm going to say it here for reference.
33:32
Speaker 5: I said, God, damn it on the air, and I
33:34
Speaker 5: got an email from somebody saying, don't take the Lord's
33:37
Speaker 5: name in vain. I believe we were discussing Nancy Pelosi
33:40
Speaker 5: in something and I said, no, I actually mean it,
33:43
Speaker 5: I am calling on and it became a debate on
33:47
Speaker 5: it too. You shall not take the name of the Lord,
33:50
Speaker 5: your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold
33:53
Speaker 5: him guiltless who takes his name in vain? Again, how
33:57
Speaker 5: does this govern the Internet or the AI? Look at
34:01
Speaker 5: what we're able to do with AI. Look at what
34:05
Speaker 5: we're able to generate with AI. How does the pope
34:08
Speaker 5: stand a role in this? This is what he should
34:12
Speaker 5: be talking about. And yes, I'm being critical of Pope Leo.
34:17
Speaker 5: The fourteenth a text message. But Joe, don't you know
34:22
Speaker 5: he's American. Of course he's but he's been a Catholic
34:26
Speaker 5: priest for all these years. And I think on a
34:32
Speaker 5: grander abstract, this is our problem with all of it,
34:35
Speaker 5: with the United States, with the idea of freedom. We're
34:43
Speaker 5: looking for laws to make us behave rather than behaving,
34:48
Speaker 5: so we don't need laws. Keep the Sabbath day holy.
35:04
Speaker 5: Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days
35:06
Speaker 5: you shall labor and do all your work. But the
35:08
Speaker 5: seventh day is the Sabbath day for your Lord, your God,
35:14
Speaker 5: meaning that there are things you need to think about.
35:18
Speaker 5: We become so busy that we don't take time, and
35:21
Speaker 5: it doesn't and I know this is an arguable thing
35:25
Speaker 5: with folks, but the point of that command it is
35:32
Speaker 5: you need to stop and think about who you are
35:37
Speaker 5: and what you're doing, and who you're doing it to
35:41
Speaker 5: and those considerations. Honor your mother and your father. Honor
35:47
Speaker 5: your father and your mother, that your days may be
35:50
Speaker 5: long upon the land which the Lord your God is
35:52
Speaker 5: giving you. Family, if you're going to sit down and
35:58
Speaker 5: do something with artificial intelligence, would you show it to
36:01
Speaker 5: your mother and father. You shall not murder, and I
36:06
Speaker 5: appreciate bibleinfo dot Com by the way, for taking the
36:10
Speaker 5: original you shall not murder period shorter than the second Amendment,
36:19
Speaker 5: even knowing that the tools of murder are often inanimate
36:25
Speaker 5: objects who do no wrong other than perhaps defend yourself
36:30
Speaker 5: with you shall not commit adultery. You tell me, tell
36:36
Speaker 5: me what the AI is doing. Oh, I know there
36:39
Speaker 5: are people who will make the argument. But if it's
36:41
Speaker 5: a picture on my computer, it's is it really adulter?
36:44
Speaker 6: It is?
36:46
Speaker 5: You shall not steal? Do you really have permission for
36:52
Speaker 5: that Jamie Lee Curtis picture that you're using AI to make?
36:55
Speaker 5: M all right, I'm sorry, was that too specific? I'm
36:59
Speaker 5: not really seeing what your screen is showing that. You
37:03
Speaker 5: got freaked there? It didn't you For a minute, You're like,
37:05
Speaker 5: why how did he see? I'm kidding. I'm just You
37:09
Speaker 5: shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. How much
37:13
Speaker 5: of that are we using AI for? You shall not
37:17
Speaker 5: covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife,
37:22
Speaker 5: nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox,
37:26
Speaker 5: nor his donkey, nor anything else that is your neighbor's
37:31
Speaker 5: even God himself to Moses, said we have private property
37:35
Speaker 5: rights long before there was a fifth Amendment never got
37:39
Speaker 5: at dinner. We already have ten rules to govern AI.
37:46
Speaker 5: Not that AI needs it any more than the assembly
37:51
Speaker 5: line needed it. And I know I sound like a
37:53
Speaker 5: ludd Eite in saying it. I'd like to think that
37:55
Speaker 5: I'm more than that. I'm understanding the fact that these
37:58
Speaker 5: are merely but tools.
38:02
Speaker 6: Hi.
38:02
Speaker 15: It's Mark Falter, hosts of the Financial Fitness Show. I
38:05
Speaker 15: strongly believe that no one should ever pay one penny
38:08
Speaker 15: more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately, for
38:13
Speaker 15: most hardworking Americans, this just isn't the case. Why because
38:17
Speaker 15: most people spend more time planning next weekends getaway than
38:21
Speaker 15: trying to ensure they're going to pay less than taxes.
38:24
Speaker 15: My Financial Fitness team has put together some materials that
38:27
Speaker 15: I know are going to help you. It's the Tax
38:29
Speaker 15: Savings Kit. Tax Savings Kit includes three things, free tax analysis,
38:35
Speaker 15: top ten ways to pay less than taxes, and an
38:38
Speaker 15: investor's guide to taxes.
38:40
Speaker 5: Now, how do you get it?
38:41
Speaker 15: Simple? Eight six six seven six four six three five
38:46
Speaker 15: and eight sixty six seven six four two six three

39:02
Speaker 22: Crime across the country is at an all time high.

40:02
Speaker 14: You were strolling along in goodwill.
40:04
Speaker 7: When just past that mid century side table and denim jacket,
40:07
Speaker 7: you spotted them nestled in.
40:09
Speaker 14: Their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
40:13
Speaker 7: Oh yes, yes, your favorite half breakfast pastry, half all
40:18
Speaker 7: day dessert food made into your favorite form of ear candy.
40:22
Speaker 7: Oh my, those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger
40:27
Speaker 7: within you.
40:29
Speaker 14: Do you smell that?
40:32
Speaker 7: That's the sugary center of shopping success, for this is goodwill.
40:38
Speaker 14: And with every item you buy, you fund local job.

Speaker 7: Training and more so, go forth, bring home those donut
40:47
Speaker 7: earrings and bring home.
40:49
Speaker 14: So much good to your community. Goodwill, bring good home.
40:57
Speaker 24: Exercise is hard, so is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
41:03
Speaker 24: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type two diabetes,
41:08
Speaker 24: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
41:12
Speaker 24: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
41:15
Speaker 24: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
41:21
Speaker 24: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
41:24
Speaker 24: diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
41:27
Speaker 24: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
41:32
Speaker 24: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop
41:36
Speaker 24: it starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor,
41:41

Speaker 19: first date.
42:56
Speaker 20: Sure, we'll probably stay together.
42:58
Speaker 14: Probably, it's been twenty three minutes since I ate.
43:03

43:05
Speaker 23: You should wait thirty minutes.
43:07
Speaker 14: Okay, Now tell me what to do?
43:09
Speaker 3: Can it bar.
43:12
Speaker 23: Cramp? I have a cramp.
43:16
Speaker 2: I can probably hit the green from here? Probably?
43:23
Speaker 6: Can I get a mulligan.
43:26
Speaker 5: Ready to go? Hey?
43:27
Speaker 19: Are you sure you're okay to drive?
43:29
Speaker 14: Yeah? I'm pretty sober.
43:32
Speaker 24: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
43:35
Speaker 5: Probably okay.
43:36
Speaker 23: Isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking and driving.
43:39
Speaker 23: If you're drinking, call a cab, a car, or a friend.
43:43
Speaker 23: Buzz driving is drunk driving. A message brought to you

43:53
Speaker 19: at Dontserve Teens dot gov. A message from the We
43:57
Speaker 19: Don't Serve Teens program and the Federal Trade Commission.
44:16
Speaker 2: For you from Joe Thomas. It's first thing today.
44:22
Speaker 14: Too, And you know what they said.
44:26
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the case, you know, And this is why
44:29
Speaker 5: reporters are so important. Reporters are important in our world
44:35
Speaker 5: because they go there and if they're allowed to, they
44:38
Speaker 5: will tell you what they see and you have to
44:41
Speaker 5: take it in the context of these are the things
44:43
Speaker 5: they've seen and experienced, and some of them are scary,
44:47
Speaker 5: and unfortunately sometimes that colors their reporters. That's why you
44:52
Speaker 5: need anchors to take what they're saying and put it
44:54
Speaker 5: in context. And our dear friends w T A R
44:59
Speaker 5: great A feel in Norfolk. We're very concerned, having lived
45:04
Speaker 5: through the summer of discontent in the build up, and
45:09
Speaker 5: I think the practice runs for where we are now
45:12
Speaker 5: in the No Kings rallies and all this marches in
45:16
Speaker 5: the streets. Folks over the weekend started sending me pictures
45:25
Speaker 5: of what looks like a paramilitary group carrying Betsy Ross
45:30
Speaker 5: flags and Confederate flags covering their faces. As my friends
45:37
Speaker 5: Tyler O'Neill, who's covered the Southern Poverty Law Center pretty
45:41
Speaker 5: clearly says, yes, real conservatives wear masks to cover their identity.
45:46
Speaker 5: But they're all out there in their black T shirts
45:49
Speaker 5: and their camo pants marching onto Virginia Beach over the weekend,
45:57
Speaker 5: and conveniently at left wing Block was there to take
46:02
Speaker 5: pictures of it, or actually, I'm sorry, I'm mischaracterizing. The
46:05
Speaker 5: left wing blogger was sent pictures or video shot by
46:09
Speaker 5: a family, a black family staying at one of the
46:13
Speaker 5: Virginia Beach hotels said, oh my god, look at the
46:16
Speaker 5: Nazis walking out under the beach. The Nazis walking out
46:20
Speaker 5: of the beach. It comes out apparently are in an
46:24
Speaker 5: attempt to quote take back the beach from these pop
46:28
Speaker 5: up beach takeovers that have led to the curfews that
46:37
Speaker 5: Virginia Beach is having. But there was greater concern. And
46:40
Speaker 5: I was talking to Virginia delegate and the actually congressman
46:43
Speaker 5: at the time of the Summer of Discontent, who was
46:46
Speaker 5: in the intel community and got an intel briefing that
46:51
Speaker 5: told him that Russian bots were driving both sides of
46:56
Speaker 5: the Charlottesville riots in twenty seventeen. And I asked him
47:00
Speaker 5: yesterday morning, and I'm bringing it back because many of
47:02
Speaker 5: you had the long weekend and weren't here. But Tom
47:07
Speaker 5: Tom drops bombs is where you find him on YouTube.
47:11
Speaker 5: Tom Gowrett told me.
47:13
Speaker 6: Well the extent that I was able to and not
47:16
Speaker 6: end up in an orange jump suit.
47:19
Speaker 14: Yeah.
47:19
Speaker 6: And there's some more that's come to light recently with
47:23
Speaker 6: the revelation that the Southern Poverty Loss Oun Organization, which
47:26
Speaker 6: is publicly pledged to fight racism, and the Light was
47:31
Speaker 6: actually funding just the founder essentially the driver of those
47:37
Speaker 6: quote unquote United and r rawies. But we knew at
47:40
Speaker 6: the time, Joe and you were one of the people
47:41
Speaker 6: who were was on the cutting edge of this.
47:44
Speaker 5: But this quote.
47:44
Speaker 6: Unquote right when leader had previously been in the I
47:49
Speaker 6: believe Staunton Augusta Democrat Committee and was a big part
47:52
Speaker 6: of the Occupy Wall Street movement, right yep. So something
47:56
Speaker 6: seems a little bit rotten there. But you also I
48:00
Speaker 6: touched on the Confederate flag imagery. There was that they
48:04
Speaker 6: were defending culture because there was a Confederate statue that
48:07
Speaker 6: was controversial in Charlettsville area at the time. But if
48:12
Speaker 6: you recall, and this is like buried the headlines, there
48:14
Speaker 6: was a special edition Nike shoe at the time that
48:17
Speaker 6: displayed the Betsy Ross flagged the thirteen star flag. Yes,
48:22
Speaker 6: people said, well guess what they had at the Virginia
48:25
Speaker 6: Beach rally recently alongside their Confederate flag of their neo
48:30
Speaker 6: Nazi imagery. Of course, the thirteen star flag. Felt I
48:36
Speaker 6: can date myself to this extent that I can tell
48:39
Speaker 6: you that that flag instead of I'm Sorry in nineteen
48:42
Speaker 6: seventy six and the bisonety allows a little child. The
48:46
Speaker 6: bed flag was a rallying point of unity, not for
48:48
Speaker 6: white America, but for America period, full stop. And one
48:51
Speaker 6: of the first instances of black history before my history
48:56
Speaker 6: was a big thing in the public school system was
48:59
Speaker 6: learning I named one person who was killed at the
49:01
Speaker 6: Bust massacre right Christmas Addicts, and the point of telling
49:05
Speaker 6: that the shipyard worker and was railing against taxation with
49:10
Speaker 6: that representation was black, was that we were from a
49:15
Speaker 6: student he won.
49:17
Speaker 5: But Tom, you know, we went on to get into
49:20
Speaker 5: the concerns that this group is part of another Southern
49:25
Speaker 5: poverty law center false flag op and again connect the
49:31
Speaker 5: Southern Poverty Law Center back to McCabe and Komy and
49:35
Speaker 5: the folks in the deep state instigators. What does a
49:41
Speaker 5: Matt call it? The Federal Bureau of Instigation, And that,
49:47
Speaker 5: in an effort to continue to dissuade us from continuing
49:52
Speaker 5: to support American style government, even as perverted as it's become,
49:58
Speaker 5: we'll have more events like this. Paramilitary quasi nationalists socialist
50:06
Speaker 5: group that started the Patriot Front started in twenty seventeen
50:12
Speaker 5: to get their swerve on in Charlottesville and their back.
50:17
Speaker 5: They're a pyramid scheme. I went looking for their money.
50:20
Speaker 5: Apparently they'd make everyone who gets there buy the camo
50:23
Speaker 5: pants and the T shirts and the face covers from them.
50:27
Speaker 5: That's how they quote fund their business, their private so
50:30
Speaker 5: you can't peel into the funding of their operation. But
50:36
Speaker 5: they're here, and we were trying to see if the
50:39
Speaker 5: Southern Poverty Law Center was paying any of their directorate
50:43
Speaker 5: to get them out here to confront these pop up
50:46
Speaker 5: groups and these beach takeovers, to create racial situations that
50:52
Speaker 5: would mar the Bison the Semi Sesquid Tennial two hundred
51:00
Speaker 5: and fiftieth anniversary because the op sail the tall ships
51:04
Speaker 5: are coming through Norfolk on July fourth, and this is
51:10
Speaker 5: just the kind of thing that these agitators will use
51:13
Speaker 5: to again say, see, we need something stronger than the
51:17
Speaker 5: US Constitution. The US Constitution protects these groups and allows
51:22
Speaker 5: them to This is the narrative that they're pitching. And
51:27
Speaker 5: I know that many folks who listen to the to
51:29
Speaker 5: Us on WTAR have called me and complained about the curfews.
51:34
Speaker 5: They've also complained about the pop up groups, the beach takeovers.
51:39
Speaker 5: But you know, if you go to any of these
51:44
Speaker 5: places where it's you know, a beach or a snow
51:48
Speaker 5: cap mountain, someplace like that open to the public, that's
51:53
Speaker 5: going to happen. And many of the folks said that
51:59
Speaker 5: the City of Norfolk was wrong or the City of
52:01
Speaker 5: Virginia Beach was wrong to impose these curfews on the
52:06
Speaker 5: beach because many people are staying in these beachfront hotels,
52:10
Speaker 5: walk the beach, beautiful moonlit night half the point of
52:13
Speaker 5: staying right on the beach or the moonlit nights. But
52:20
Speaker 5: Virginia Beach did it because they didn't want to put
52:22
Speaker 5: enough law enforcement down there, because again, defund the police.
52:27
Speaker 5: This is an all left wing operation in Virginia Beach
52:31
Speaker 5: who wanted to defund the police. So why would we
52:33
Speaker 5: send more police to watch over the other people's rights.
52:38
Speaker 5: And it's going to flame up, and there's just such
52:42
Speaker 5: a vacuum of honest, open mouthed leadership in Virginia Beach
52:48
Speaker 5: that we're going to see more of these flashpoints happen.
52:51
Speaker 26: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
52:55
Speaker 26: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
52:57
Speaker 5: It was metchet that came through for us.
52:59
Speaker 23: There's no hassles, there was no problem.
53:02
Speaker 26: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
53:05
Speaker 26: of such an incredible ministry.
