- 2:16Speaker 3: but the news of the day. More folks under the
- 2:20Speaker 3: enemy of our enemy are our friends? Provision of the
- 2:24Speaker 3: Biden administration. Caught in Waynesboro, Virginia sending lawyers, guns and
- 2:29Speaker 3: money over to Pops his father, who is still running
- 2:35Speaker 3: terrorists cells in Afghanistan, thugging up on people, apparently being
- 2:40Speaker 3: the muscle for the Taliban? Isis k actually there? Which
- 2:46Speaker 3: is not a breakfast cereal? By the way, don't fool
- 2:48Speaker 3: yourself to that. We're also going to get into this
- 2:51Speaker 3: war powers resolution. Both Tommy Massey and Rand Paul getting
- 2:57Speaker 3: together with a cadre of Democrats. It's like Tim Kaine
- 3:01Speaker 3: to demand the president, let Congress know, and let's you know,
- 3:08Speaker 3: go back and we have to have a reality tour
- 3:12Speaker 3: a little bit here of what the War Powers Act
- 3:18Speaker 3: is what the Constitution says about war powers and who
- 3:23Speaker 3: has the authority to declare war? But then you know
- 3:28Speaker 3: when once they have declared war, and Hillary Clinton and
- 3:31Speaker 3: Barack Obama both voted to give the presidency a kind
- 3:35Speaker 3: of an open ended declaration of war back in two
- 3:40Speaker 3: was it O two or three? It was O two,
- 3:44Speaker 3: And they've been trying to re restrain that. And how
- 3:49Speaker 3: Richard Nixon factors in this, because you know, all these
- 3:52Speaker 3: good things either happened in the teens under you know,
- 3:56Speaker 3: the Technocrats and the Wilsonites or during Nick because well,
- 4:01Speaker 3: you know, we just have to do stuff to stop Nixon.
- 4:04Speaker 3: But our first things this morning start with that story
- 4:08Speaker 3: out of Waynesboro, Virginia, down the road from our flagship station,
- 4:13Speaker 3: Ice agents and conducted a raid and arrested one Jean
- 4:21Speaker 3: Shah Safie, an Afghan national in Waynesboro, saying he supported
- 4:27Speaker 3: provided support to isis K and supplied weapons to his
- 4:31Speaker 3: father who is still working with isis K in Afghanistan.
- 4:35Speaker 3: So he arrived in the US using the same program
- 4:39Speaker 3: that the twenty nine year old Afghan assailant that killed
- 4:42Speaker 3: a National Guards soldier in Washington last week used, Operation
- 4:48Speaker 3: Allies Welcome. Department of Veterans Affairs is reportedly creating an
- 4:53Speaker 3: internal database of non US citizens who work or are
- 4:57Speaker 3: affiliated with the agency, a move that could include thousands
- 5:02Speaker 3: of doctors, nurses, contractors, trainees, and even some veterans. Senator
- 5:07Speaker 3: Ran Paul and Congressman Tommy Massey are leading resolutions in
- 5:12Speaker 3: their various houses to insist that any actions taken against
- 5:19Speaker 3: Venezuela will have to come with approval from Congress. Meanwhile,
- 5:25Speaker 3: Venezuelan President Nicholas Medoro was pressed by the press on
- 5:30Speaker 3: whether or not he had a phone call with President
- 5:32Speaker 3: Trump earlier this week in which the President said, if
- 5:35Speaker 3: you get out now, we'll guarantee your safety. He did, say,
- 5:40Speaker 3: the President and he had a respectful and cordial phone
- 5:43Speaker 3: call that lasted several minutes and included an exchange about
- 5:48Speaker 3: the possibility of future dialogue. President Trump announced Wednesday afternoon
- 5:55Speaker 3: a reset of federal fuel standards known as cafe standards,
- 6:00Speaker 3: that had been heightened underneath the Biden administration.
- 6:09Speaker 1: Very important. Today, my administration has taken a storic action
- 6:13Speaker 1: to lower costs for American consumers, protect American auto jobs,
- 6:17Speaker 1: and make buying a car much more affordable for countless
- 6:21Speaker 1: American families and also safer. We're officially terminating Joe Biden's
- 6:26Speaker 1: ridiculously burden some horrible actually cafe standards. Biden's burdened some
- 6:30Speaker 1: regulations help cause the price of cars to soar more
- 6:34Speaker 1: than twenty five percent.
- 6:36Speaker 3: California Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Bob Bonta announced
- 6:41Speaker 3: California Department of Justice has started a taxpayer funded portal
- 6:45Speaker 3: in which Californians can take pictures and video and post
- 6:49Speaker 3: them there of ICE agents conducting raids, even though they
- 6:53Speaker 3: say most of the actions are illegal ones.

- 8:03Speaker 9: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 8:12Speaker 9: am Doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 9: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and
- 8:35Speaker 9: inflammation has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can
- 8:41Speaker 9: prevent cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer,
- 8:45Speaker 9: and in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects
- 8:50Speaker 9: our healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where

- 13:09Speaker 2: The First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Tonk
- 13:14Speaker 2: Media Network.
- 13:24Speaker 3: So Senator Rand Paul along with Congressman Tommy Massey have
- 13:30Speaker 3: a bunch of Democrats are actually you know, it's funny
- 13:33Speaker 3: because the Democrats act like you know, they have Ron
- 13:35Speaker 3: Paul and Tommy Massey working with him like Virginia's Tim
- 13:39Speaker 3: Caine pressed about the situation where Venezuela has been threatened
- 13:44Speaker 3: with military incursions regarding drug manufacturing facilities in Venezuela protected
- 13:52Speaker 3: by the Meduro regime.
- 13:54Speaker 5: You have tried twice to pass war powers resolutions that
- 13:57Speaker 5: would force President Trump to get a approval from Congress
- 14:01Speaker 5: first before any military action. Twice you have failed. Do
- 14:06Speaker 5: you think the numbers on this will change if there
- 14:09Speaker 5: is ground action and will it even matter at that point?
- 14:14Speaker 3: I do believe the numbers will change.
- 14:16Speaker 17: You're right, I, along with others, filed a resolution no
- 14:20Speaker 17: war in Venezuela or against Venezuela without congressional approval.
- 14:24Speaker 4: It failed, but that was before all.
- 14:27Speaker 17: Of these assets have amassed around Venezuela and before President
- 14:31Speaker 17: Trump said that the airspace needs to be closed. I
- 14:35Speaker 17: will move with colleague Senator Schumer, Senator Paul, Senator Shiff
- 14:39Speaker 17: immediately should there be military action. And then secondly, I
- 14:43Speaker 17: also attempted to stop what I view as illegal vote
- 14:47Speaker 17: strikes in the Caribbean and the Pacific together with Adam Schiff,
- 14:51Speaker 17: and the circumstances have changed in the month since we
- 14:54Speaker 17: had that vote.
- 14:55Speaker 3: In each of these instances.
- 14:57Speaker 17: We were able to get two Republicans to vote together
- 14:59Speaker 17: with Democrats. We think the escalating pace and some of
- 15:03Speaker 17: the recent revelations, so for example, the recent revelation about
- 15:06Speaker 17: the kill everyone in order, apparently dictated by Secretary of Hegseth.
- 15:12Speaker 17: We do believe that we will get more support for
- 15:15Speaker 17: these motions when they are refiled.
- 15:17Speaker 3: He goes on to say, if that's true, you know, pontificates,
- 15:21Speaker 3: but then says, but I mean I could be wrong.
- 15:23Speaker 3: I mean it may never have happened. But that doesn't
- 15:26Speaker 3: stop them. As the joke goes, what's the most dangerous
- 15:30Speaker 3: real estate in Washington, d C. And that's the area
- 15:34Speaker 3: in between a politician and a TV camera. So Tim
- 15:38Speaker 3: Kaine living up to that standard there. Let's take a
- 15:41Speaker 3: little tour on what war powers are. So these folks
- 15:45Speaker 3: are saying, we can't go and actually take the phrase
- 15:51Speaker 3: which they've all used, the war on drugs literally, And
- 15:58Speaker 3: I would like to see if the same thing would
- 16:00Speaker 3: be held true if Tim Kaine was in the majority
- 16:02Speaker 3: and there was a Democrat in the White House, and
- 16:04Speaker 3: they declared a war on guns and perhaps raids were
- 16:11Speaker 3: going to be enacted at Keltec's headquarters in Florida, would
- 16:17Speaker 3: they listen to Republicans in Congress saying you don't have
- 16:20Speaker 3: the authority to do that. But they love to use
- 16:28Speaker 3: the phrase, war on everything is a war. It's a
- 16:31Speaker 3: war on poverty, it's a war on drugs, it's a
- 16:34Speaker 3: war on conservative talk radio. Congress shall have power to
- 16:40Speaker 3: declare war, grant letters of mark and reprisal, and make
- 16:44Speaker 3: rules concerning captures on land and water. That's Article one,
- 16:53Speaker 3: Section eight, clause eleven of this document called the US Constitution.
- 16:58Speaker 3: But it's broad, and it just so it could declare war.
- 17:02Speaker 3: But the war has already been declared. The war on
- 17:05Speaker 3: drugs has already been declared by Congress. President Trump has
- 17:11Speaker 3: just made it kinetic. He said, Okay, we're at war.
- 17:18Speaker 3: Would the drug makers, let's go bring the fight to them?
- 17:21Speaker 3: Why wait till it gets to the school yards of America.
- 17:31Speaker 3: Like many things, I have a pretty nuanced feeling about this.
- 17:35Speaker 3: I still point to the fact that during this entire
- 17:39Speaker 3: quote war on drugs, the only successful campaign ever waged
- 17:46Speaker 3: against drug use in the United States was Nancy Reagan's
- 17:51Speaker 3: just Say No campaign. It was the only time that
- 17:54Speaker 3: you had statistical reductions in the amount of people using
- 17:59Speaker 3: illegal drums uggs. Of course, now we have our own
- 18:04Speaker 3: legal manufacturing, so we need to get because we're getting
- 18:07Speaker 3: hooked on painkillers because Obamacare says, don't fix their chiropractic problem,
- 18:13Speaker 3: don't fix their orthopedic problem. Slap them back together, you know,
- 18:18Speaker 3: as best you can under this cheap ass insurance that
- 18:21Speaker 3: we're still forcing them to buy, and give them some
- 18:24Speaker 3: pain meds and a PTS prescription physical therapy for those
- 18:30Speaker 3: who've never had to. And I'm not besmirching those who
- 18:34Speaker 3: do physical therapy, and I'm not besmirching the idea that
- 18:38Speaker 3: there are pain medications. I had to have a hernia
- 18:41Speaker 3: repaired with. I can't remember. I lost count after the
- 18:45Speaker 3: seventh shot of diluted, I mean, deladden the nurses like
- 18:51Speaker 3: it usually doesn't take this much, I said, I said,
- 18:54Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm I'm feeling good, but I feel
- 18:56Speaker 3: the pain. And finally it numbed out my stomach area
- 19:01Speaker 3: and they were able to put my inwards back in
- 19:04Speaker 3: the innered areas. They were outwards instead of inwards for
- 19:08Speaker 3: a while there, but they were able. But you know,
- 19:12Speaker 3: these things are serious. They are no joke. So we're
- 19:19Speaker 3: not just talking about some guys growing wacky tobacci on
- 19:25Speaker 3: a field in Colorado. Somewhere. We've got states who continue
- 19:33Speaker 3: to laughably talk about how they're going to legalize and
- 19:40Speaker 3: tax the sale of marijuana. Meanwhile, Colorado is actually considering
- 19:44Speaker 3: rescinding their decriminalization because it's still a Class one felony
- 19:51Speaker 3: to be in possession of marijuana. And most people show,
- 19:55Speaker 3: oh my gosh, marijuana is not even a drug anymore,
- 19:58Speaker 3: Joe con And there are plenty of holistic healers who
- 20:04Speaker 3: will point to the pain relief CT and those things
- 20:08Speaker 3: that have shown some clinical benefit of marijuana THC and
- 20:14Speaker 3: that kind of thing. But we're getting hooked on all
- 20:21Speaker 3: sorts of drugs now that we have drugs that would
- 20:24Speaker 3: make Ken Kesey and the electric kool Aid test go,
- 20:27Speaker 3: Dude's take it easy with that stuff. So whether or
- 20:31Speaker 3: not they have power, they've already declared the war on drugs.
- 20:37Speaker 3: They're trying to keep us from going after the drug dealers.
- 20:42Speaker 3: And there is, as I said, an intellectual argument to
- 20:45Speaker 3: say we need to target the drug users and not
- 20:49Speaker 3: for punishment but for reclamation. And I remember your humble
- 20:55Speaker 3: host is also one of the weirdo's that wants to
- 20:59Speaker 3: end unwanted pregnancies. I want a world where there isn't
- 21:05Speaker 3: a single pregnancy on this planet that's not unwanted, that
- 21:12Speaker 3: is unwanted. I'm sorry too many modifiers, because if you
- 21:18Speaker 3: end the societal existence of unwanted pregnancies, guess what you've
- 21:23Speaker 3: ended abortion. I don't need to just if we got
- 21:28Speaker 3: to work hard and teach people that get jiggy with it,
- 21:32Speaker 3: as Will Smith once called it, engaging in congress, as
- 21:35Speaker 3: the Kamasutra calls it. Is certainly a pleasurable act, but
- 21:40Speaker 3: it has biological outcomes, and you need to be prepared
- 21:44Speaker 3: for those. And if you're not, don't do the crime.
- 21:49Speaker 3: If you can't do the time, as Sammy Davis Junior
- 21:53Speaker 3: once philosophized to us. So there's your war powers reality
- 21:59Speaker 3: to our a little bit.
- 22:02Speaker 9: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
- 22:07Speaker 9: actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
- 22:12Speaker 9: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
- 22:16Speaker 9: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
- 22:21Speaker 9: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
- 22:26Speaker 9: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 22:31Speaker 9: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
- 22:34Speaker 9: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
- 22:38Speaker 9: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
- 22:40Speaker 9: your hands and feet well. Our product Ultimate nitric Oxide

- 24:06Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. II.
- 24:12Speaker 9: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:17Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:21Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26Speaker 9: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:41Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 24:45Speaker 9: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

- 28:10Speaker 1: Q.
- 28:11Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Tunk Media Network.
- 28:21Speaker 10: Time James.
- 28:39Speaker 3: So, so this whole thing about Venezuela and the President
- 28:45Speaker 3: sending the Navy down there, And here's a quick point
- 28:49Speaker 3: that I think is important. So if you're Nicholas Maduro,
- 28:54Speaker 3: you get CNN down there. Maybe not. Everyone in vent
- 29:00Speaker 3: Isuela against CNN. They certainly can't afford it, not at
- 29:03Speaker 3: the cost of food, never since you nationalized everything. But
- 29:11Speaker 3: in you know, in Venezuela, if he's watching and thinking, oh, well,
- 29:17Speaker 3: Trump's not going to do anything to me, He's got
- 29:21Speaker 3: Congress is going to stop him from, you know, start
- 29:24Speaker 3: striking a drug base. He admitted yesterday that he's had
- 29:34Speaker 3: a phone conversation with Donald Trump, which means he's aware
- 29:38Speaker 3: that Donald Trump wants him to stop the drug gangs
- 29:41Speaker 3: from making all this stuff, taking the Chinese fentanyl parts
- 29:45Speaker 3: and putting them all together and bringing them here for
- 29:47Speaker 3: the people that the Obamacare drug policies have gotten hooked
- 29:52Speaker 3: on opiates. And so he's well, you know, it sounds
- 30:03Speaker 3: like tim Kin and ran Paul have this cupboard? Why
- 30:06Speaker 3: should I worry about what Donald Trump is saying? Why
- 30:13Speaker 3: should why should I capitulate? Why should I give in?
- 30:24Speaker 3: Because Tim Kaine is just gonna stop him from from
- 30:28Speaker 3: doing that. Here's now that.
- 30:29Speaker 17: I'm very, very worried about President Trump's decision to wage
- 30:33Speaker 17: war on his own against boats in the Pacific and
- 30:36Speaker 17: Caribbean and threaten war against the nation of Venezuela.
- 30:39Speaker 3: None of which actually Donald Trump is done. He has
- 30:42Speaker 3: said that boat has drugs on it, and to this point,
- 30:48Speaker 3: no one has pointed to any instance where they've been
- 30:52Speaker 3: proven wrong. Because by now, certainly there would have been
- 30:56Speaker 3: plenty of people saying, hey, this was just a skipper
- 31:01Speaker 3: and his first mate and a couple of people on
- 31:04Speaker 3: a two hour cruise, because, like I said, they get
- 31:11Speaker 3: CNN in Venezuela. So if these boats weren't drug kingpins
- 31:18Speaker 3: sending cigar boats full of marijuana, fentanyl, you name it
- 31:25Speaker 3: towards this country, we'd have already had that in the news.
- 31:34Speaker 3: And what Tim Kaine forgets is he's been in the
- 31:37Speaker 3: US Senate for what ten years now, nine years now? No,
- 31:43Speaker 3: he just got reelected last year, So is it twelve
- 31:46Speaker 3: coming on now. He knows that the war powers dictated
- 31:51Speaker 3: by the war on drugs that we've been waging have
- 31:56Speaker 3: been clear for some time, especially when it came to
- 32:01Speaker 3: the import of illicit drug materials.
- 32:04Speaker 17: I have brought war powers resolutions to the floor of
- 32:06Speaker 17: the Senate and forced my colleagues to vote on the
- 32:09Speaker 17: question of whether the president should be able to wage
- 32:11Speaker 17: war without Congress. A month or so back, we were
- 32:14Speaker 17: not able to get sufficient votes to pass my resolutions,
- 32:16Speaker 17: although we did get some Republican support, not quite enough.
- 32:19Speaker 17: But I'm going to renew these motions. The ongoing pace
- 32:22Speaker 17: of strikes in international waters, the recent revelations that the
- 32:26Speaker 17: administration even struck survivors who survived a first strike on
- 32:31Speaker 17: September second kill.
- 32:32Speaker 3: It and again notice it's survivors, not innocent bystandersing.
- 32:37Speaker 17: Them in clear violation of Department of Defense rules about
- 32:40Speaker 17: war and international humanitarian norms, should really frighten everyone. And
- 32:45Speaker 17: it's the kind of thing that just listening to my
- 32:47Speaker 17: Republican colleagues is starting to make them really rethink the
- 32:51Speaker 17: wisdom of allowing President Trump to wage war on his own.
- 32:53Speaker 17: The amassing of assets around Venezuela and the president's sort
- 32:57Speaker 17: of unauthorized declaration that he was closed Venezuela in airspace
- 33:01Speaker 17: suggests this is getting just too close to home.
- 33:04Speaker 3: What's fun about this video that Tim Kane posted or
- 33:06Speaker 3: all the jump cuts in it? I can't do that,
- 33:10Speaker 3: see Tim, and I've actually hosted Tim Kaine in the studio.
- 33:14Speaker 3: I find him to be somebody who I would claim
- 33:18Speaker 3: has checked most of their intellectual ability at the door,
- 33:22Speaker 3: because in my conversations with him when he was still
- 33:25Speaker 3: governor of Virginia, I found him to be interesting enough
- 33:30Speaker 3: and interested enough to say, hey, this is a conservative
- 33:34Speaker 3: way to fix this. Oh really, well, let's talk about
- 33:37Speaker 3: those conservative ways to fix this and listen to them.
- 33:42Speaker 3: Not anymore, Not anymore. He is an idiot log just
- 33:47Speaker 3: like all the other ones, which makes whether you like
- 33:49Speaker 3: or dislike Rand Paul or Tommy Massey interesting enough to say, hey,
- 33:54Speaker 3: they're not just doing whatever the party bosses tell them to.
- 34:00Speaker 3: They may be wrong as many times as they're right,
- 34:02Speaker 3: but they're not just getting along to go along. Sealy
- 34:07Speaker 3: down in four corners rights into four three four eight
- 34:10Speaker 3: A two four two one seven. They got rid of quayludes,
- 34:14Speaker 3: not the demand for kuayludes. Unfortunately, no way, the greenies
- 34:18Speaker 3: here in Colorado will backtrack on cannabis. But there's a
- 34:21Speaker 3: hue and cry seily that you were lied to. All
- 34:27Speaker 3: of the prognostications about how much Colorado's we're going to
- 34:32Speaker 3: benefit from the sale of marijuana haven't come true. As
- 34:36Speaker 3: a matter of fact, the illicit sale of marijuana is
- 34:39Speaker 3: climbing and the sale of government authorized marijuana is declining.
- 34:46Speaker 3: And as always when they promise you big tax benefits
- 34:51Speaker 3: out of something like gambling is the thing here in
- 34:54Speaker 3: Virginia and Virginia are new thing, although they are playing
- 34:58Speaker 3: with the idea of dec criminalizing and I try to
- 35:01Speaker 3: be careful with this because it is still an illegal
- 35:03Speaker 3: substance to possess by federal law. What these states are
- 35:11Speaker 3: doing is they're they're telling their law enforcement officials, we
- 35:16Speaker 3: won't prosecute you if you catch somebody, and you ignore
- 35:21Speaker 3: the fact that they're violating federal law. But here in Virginia,
- 35:30Speaker 3: the particular vice tax that they're syntaxes. In other words,
- 35:36Speaker 3: there's gambling. Oh we are you know, Virginia's new administration
- 35:41Speaker 3: is bought and paid for by MGM. Grand I'm telling
- 35:43Speaker 3: you every old mill town, like Danville and Martinsville. They
- 35:49Speaker 3: all want a casino. Danville's got this run down old
- 35:53Speaker 3: paper mill town surrounding this shiny new what was it
- 35:58Speaker 3: to Harrah's One of the casino operators is there. It
- 36:03Speaker 3: reminds me of a city anyone we were on in
- 36:06Speaker 3: the southern tier of New York. Elmira, right. If you're
- 36:10Speaker 3: listening to us in Elmira and you've ever driven out
- 36:13Speaker 3: or Youngstown, Youngstown is close enough. If you're listening to
- 36:16Speaker 3: us in Youngstown, go to Salamanca, New York. Salamanca, New
- 36:22Speaker 3: York is a city, was a city that the federal
- 36:26Speaker 3: government closed. It's like Pompeii in a lot of ways.
- 36:31Speaker 3: It told all the American citizens get out, We're giving
- 36:35Speaker 3: this land to the tribe, the Salamanca tribe, for their reservation.
- 36:42Speaker 3: And you drive into Salamanca, New York, and last time
- 36:46Speaker 3: I did was a few years ago. But it looks
- 36:49Speaker 3: like the town I compared it to Pompeii closed off
- 36:54Speaker 3: in time in like nineteen sixty four, except for this
- 36:59Speaker 3: big shiny concet hut down at the end of Main
- 37:03Speaker 3: Street with neon lights, and there's new sidewalk outside of
- 37:09Speaker 3: it and the parking lot of Zo because that's where
- 37:11Speaker 3: the Indian casino is, the Native American casino is. But
- 37:17Speaker 3: our non Native American cities are becoming just like that,
- 37:21Speaker 3: cities like Danville, Virginia. So you know, I get you
- 37:24Speaker 3: what you're saying about. Not they're not going to give
- 37:26Speaker 3: up because they need the citizens of Colorado stoned, so
- 37:30Speaker 3: they'd go and vote for governors like yours over and
- 37:35Speaker 3: over again. So these folks, and by the way, these
- 37:43Speaker 3: are the same folks that said, hey, let's have Operation
- 37:46Speaker 3: Enemy of my Enemy. Bring all of these killers to
- 37:50Speaker 3: the United States so that they can kill So where
- 37:54Speaker 3: were your war powers concerns when Joe Biden was abandoning
- 37:58Speaker 3: Bagram Air Force Base.
- 38:00Speaker 20: At Hotshot Secret, we share the science behind common diesel
- 38:04Speaker 20: problems in their solutions.
- 38:05Speaker 3: For example, diesel fuel setane levels.
- 38:08Speaker 20: In many states, the setane rating and diesel fuel is
- 38:10Speaker 20: forty two to forty five. Most diesel engines operate more
- 38:13Speaker 20: efficiently with the cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one.

- 44:25Speaker 9: There's all those drug stores right every three or four blocks.
- 44:29Speaker 2: And that's a big sign.
- 44:30Speaker 1: Drugs open all night.
- 44:32Speaker 13: Drug we delivered drug Hunt RT drugs.
- 44:37Speaker 9: That's the biggest thing on this sign Cosmetics, Sundrys drugs man.
- 44:42Speaker 3: And you know that was what was it seventy four,
- 44:45Speaker 3: seventy four, right after the last War Powers Act because
- 44:50Speaker 3: you gotta stop Nixon, and it was a seventy three
- 44:54Speaker 3: the War Powers Act, the actual one that these guys
- 44:56Speaker 3: all talk about. War Powers Act, technically called the War
- 45:03Speaker 3: Powers Resolution, one of the rare instances in recorded history
- 45:11Speaker 3: where presidential veto got overturned. Act was in response to
- 45:17Speaker 3: the Vietnam War, which Nixon was getting us out of.
- 45:20Speaker 3: That was the funny thing is is and you would
- 45:22Speaker 3: talking about problems Nixon had. Nixon ran on getting us
- 45:26Speaker 3: out of Vietnam, and then didn't any of that sound familiar.
- 45:32Speaker 3: I mean, he was doing it, but it was like
- 45:35Speaker 3: this combination of Trump and Biden. Trump said, I'm going
- 45:39Speaker 3: to get us out of all these wars. We're going
- 45:40Speaker 3: to stop war, We're going to get us out of
- 45:42Speaker 3: all these entanglements. And he hasn't yet. Quick note, it's
- 45:47Speaker 3: been eleven months, just for those keeping score at home,
- 45:53Speaker 3: and Putin is still talking about talking again, and Zelenski
- 45:58Speaker 3: is talking about talking against So don't cash any checks
- 46:01Speaker 3: on Russia and Ukraine not being done soon. Then, of course,
- 46:09Speaker 3: the reconstruction and profiteering. Sealy added follow up text, out
- 46:13Speaker 3: of the four corners, legal cannabis has a lot of
- 46:16Speaker 3: enemies who make money when cannabis is legal. Cannabis has
- 46:20Speaker 3: a lot of enemies who make money when cannabis is illegal.
- 46:23Speaker 3: Big alcohol, big tobacco, big pill, big legal, big cop
- 46:28Speaker 3: and the cartels. But remember, we control all of this,
- 46:37Speaker 3: And this is why I brought up Nancy Reagan and
- 46:40Speaker 3: her just say no campaign. If we stop taking the stuff,
- 46:46Speaker 3: they'll stop making the stuff, sort of like telemarketers. If
- 46:51Speaker 3: there wasn't someone somewhere buying stuff from telemarketers, the industry
- 46:56Speaker 3: would shrivel up and die. There'd be no money in it.
- 47:02Speaker 3: If TIMU didn't sell cheap plastic crap by the bushel
- 47:09Speaker 3: full to people off their smartphones, they would go away.
- 47:13Speaker 3: We don't need to ban them, we need to ignore them.
- 47:16Speaker 3: We need to avoid them. And so much of our
- 47:21Speaker 3: opioid problem in this country is driven by the manufacturers
- 47:27Speaker 3: of it. And one of the reasons that marijuana had
- 47:32Speaker 3: become so important to fight was you didn't need a
- 47:37Speaker 3: company to make it for you. They figured out with
- 47:40Speaker 3: the decriminalization of it that well, it could have a
- 47:46Speaker 3: company making it, and all sorts of companies popped up
- 47:49Speaker 3: making it. So the idea of fighting this war on
- 47:54Speaker 3: drugs is multi faceted, and I don't mean that in
- 48:01Speaker 3: the way that Tim Kaine is multifaceted. Depending on who
- 48:04Speaker 3: you're talking to. Venezuela is propping up its communist dictatorship
- 48:14Speaker 3: and committing all sorts of human rights violations to its
- 48:17Speaker 3: citizens under the money that is funneled into the Maduro
- 48:21Speaker 3: regime by the drug cartels. Can we liberate Venezuela by
- 48:31Speaker 3: getting rid of the drug cartels who run Venezuela much
- 48:34Speaker 3: in the same way they run Claudia Shinbaum in Mexico
- 48:46Speaker 3: Because there are countries. You know, I talk about addictions
- 48:50Speaker 3: and such. It's a consumer product. Sure, I've got a
- 48:58Speaker 3: text message here saying you can't you know, But this
- 49:01Speaker 3: goes to the degradation of humans who you know, by
- 49:07Speaker 3: the time they're forty, are almost on permanent disability, and
- 49:13Speaker 3: who's going to take care of them? Then we're starting
- 49:17Speaker 3: to get statistics now that we've been doing this for
- 49:20Speaker 3: a while of people who by the time there in
- 49:24Speaker 3: the years approaching retirement, haven't generated the necessary income to retire.
- 49:34Speaker 3: They haven't had the necessary employment to empower retirement. Yet
- 49:39Speaker 3: they're becoming less and less able to hold a job.
- 49:47Speaker 3: And I know, and I believe me. I have friends
- 49:51Speaker 3: smoke a joint when they get home. They live in
- 49:53Speaker 3: the states where it's legal to same way. I have
- 49:56Speaker 3: a glass of wine when I get home. We class
- 49:59Speaker 3: a these things, I think to a point. Seely's making
- 50:05Speaker 3: we seek inebriation in various ways, and we don't talk
- 50:09Speaker 3: about it this way, but our inebriates out there are varissing,
- 50:13Speaker 3: varying scales. But what we've missed in this whole societal
- 50:25Speaker 3: turn towards this point is our own ability. I would
- 50:29Speaker 3: love to see Donald Trump or Malania bring back the
- 50:33Speaker 3: just Say No campaign to get Americans to stop taking
- 50:36Speaker 3: the stuff. Guess what, The guy doesn't die from fennol
- 50:41Speaker 3: because he didn't buy some cheap knockoff pain meds on
- 50:44Speaker 3: the street corner. The guy doesn't want cheap knockoff pain
- 50:48Speaker 3: meds on the street corner because somebody during the you
- 50:52Speaker 3: know one doctor's visit he gets to pay for before
- 50:58Speaker 3: his co payment runs out, prescribes pain meds rather than
- 51:03Speaker 3: expensive surgery. Because that's part of as Paul Krugman as
- 51:07Speaker 3: part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as
- 51:11Speaker 3: you have government regulators that tell insurance companies what they
- 51:16Speaker 3: can and can deny coverage for. So it's not all
- 51:25Speaker 3: Venezuela's fault. And we can fix this by not participating
- 51:31Speaker 3: in it. And I would love to see Donald Trump
- 51:35Speaker 3: put the weight behind it. I know Nancy Reagan was
- 51:38Speaker 3: lampooned for it, but guess what, they're already doing that
- 51:40Speaker 3: to Donald Trump anyway, get out and show kids, and
- 51:48Speaker 3: get because there are so many testimonies of so many
- 51:50Speaker 3: people that are broken free from the albatross of drugs,
- 51:54Speaker 3: but yet they've become personas not granted citizen liationship even anymore.
- 52:01Speaker 3: We're kicking citizens out by arresting them for felonies that
- 52:07Speaker 3: need not happen. And Trump did a lot to help
- 52:11Speaker 3: fix some of that in his first term, thanks to
- 52:13Speaker 3: the help from the folks at the Right on Crime
- 52:18Speaker 3: division of the Texas Public Policy Foundation, good friends of
- 52:22Speaker 3: the program. So all this saber rattling over the saber
- 52:27Speaker 3: rattling is distracting from the things that need to be
- 52:32Speaker 3: talked about when it comes to our pain and suffering
- 52:35Speaker 3: and how we deal with our pain and suffering. We
- 52:38Speaker 3: are going to wrap things for today. I am Joe Thomas.
- 52:41Speaker 3: This is the Talk Media Network coming to you from
- 52:44Speaker 3: right near where they arrested another one of these guys.
- 52:47Speaker 3: So long and thanks for all the fish.
- 52:50Speaker 14: Crime across the country is at an all time high.
- 52:53Speaker 14: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
- 52:56Speaker 14: a risk. We don't want the feeling of being unprotected
- 52:59Speaker 14: and vulnerable. We found GETCCL dot com. Get CCL dot
