• 0:54
  Speaker 8: We'll do our best to read your words into the

  Speaker 8: public record. Text message is already coming in asking me
• 1:02

• 1:07
  Speaker 8: And we'll get into the events yesterday, the ceremonies in
• 1:14
  Speaker 8: Washington huge, and the fund and frolic is. The press
• 1:19
  Speaker 8: falls all over itself to try to diminish what was
• 1:22
  Speaker 8: going on at the rededication two fifty events on the
• 1:28
  Speaker 8: National Mall, drone strikes, all kinds of things going on,
• 1:33
  Speaker 8: both you know, in our theaters and other people's theaters.
• 1:39
  Speaker 8: China deals, all of a sudden starting to come up.
• 1:41
  Speaker 8: But I had a very interesting conversation and it's a
• 1:45
  Speaker 8: perspective check, and I want to throw it out to
• 1:48
  Speaker 8: you as we kick off this morning. My daughter and
• 1:52
  Speaker 8: her boyfriend came to visit last night. They had just
• 1:55
  Speaker 8: come back from Serbia, where her boyfriend's family is. Grandmother
• 2:00
  Speaker 8: was there and they went to visit with her. She's
• 2:03
  Speaker 8: getting up there in years. And he was telling me
• 2:05
  Speaker 8: a story about his grandfather, talking about how Yugoslavia was
• 2:13
  Speaker 8: great under Tito. And I stopped and I said, you know,
• 2:18
  Speaker 8: I could make a joke here about the vodka brand
• 2:20
  Speaker 8: but and how everything is better with the little Tito's.
• 2:25
  Speaker 8: But I thought about the actual statement, because you know,
• 2:31
  Speaker 8: you and me, we look at somebody like Tito as
• 2:35
  Speaker 8: a dictator, brutal dictator needs to be overthrown, you know,
• 2:40
  Speaker 8: it's the But here's this guy, lifelong patriotic Yugoslavian, and
• 2:52
  Speaker 8: he's talking about how he ruined the fall of Tito,
• 2:58
  Speaker 8: and I think it and it just said to me
• 3:03
  Speaker 8: that what Jefferson wrote in our Declaration of Independence two
• 3:07
  Speaker 8: hundred and fifty years ago, that you know, we humans
• 3:10
  Speaker 8: are more capable than most people realize of dealing with
• 3:18
  Speaker 8: dictatorship and loss of human life and rights rights that
• 3:26
  Speaker 8: probably didn't even grow up thinking he had. We're so
• 3:31
  Speaker 8: much more adaptable to those kind of things as we
• 3:34
  Speaker 8: figure out a way around it, except for those who
• 3:37
  Speaker 8: just can't cotton that kind of thing. It's just a
• 3:40
  Speaker 8: real fascinating moment that I wanted to share with you
• 3:44
  Speaker 8: as we get into the first things. This morning, thousands
• 3:47
  Speaker 8: and thousands packed the National Mall for a day long
• 3:51
  Speaker 8: prayer rally Sunday rededication of our country as one nation
• 3:56
  Speaker 8: under God. President Trump addressed the crowd, read from Second
• 4:00
  Speaker 8: Chronicles and said, if my people who are called by
• 4:04
  Speaker 8: my name humble themselves and pray and seek my face,
• 4:07
  Speaker 8: and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear
• 4:11
  Speaker 8: from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Meanwhile,
• 4:16
  Speaker 8: drone strikes at the United Arab Emirates only nuclear power
• 4:21
  Speaker 8: plant on Sunday heightened tensions. After President Trump had said
• 4:27
  Speaker 8: the clock is ticking in Iran, they better get moving fast.
• 4:32
  Speaker 8: China has agreed. Now we're starting to hear more about
• 4:35
  Speaker 8: the summit meetings. China has agreed to ramp up trade
• 4:39
  Speaker 8: for US agricultural products such as beef and poultry, buying
• 4:45
  Speaker 8: an annualized rate of seventeen billion a year in this
• 4:50
  Speaker 8: calendar year. They will also address concerns about shortages of
• 4:54
  Speaker 8: rare earth minerals caused by Beijing's export controls. Rices rose
• 5:01
  Speaker 8: after the president's social media post of the clock in
• 5:05
  Speaker 8: Iran being ticking. Brent crude is up seven tenths percent
• 5:10
  Speaker 8: to one hundred and ten dollars per barrel. One of
• 5:13
  Speaker 8: Ukraine's largest drone strikes in its four year battle with Russia,
• 5:18
  Speaker 8: killed at least four, including three near Moscow, and wounded
• 5:22
  Speaker 8: a dozen others, local authorities said on Sunday. Marathon day
• 5:27
  Speaker 8: of negotiations finished early this morning as negotiators couldn't figure

• 7:01
  Speaker 9: You know, a lot of times you have to choose
• 7:03
  Speaker 9: between something high quality or something that saves you money.
• 7:07
  Speaker 9: But what if you could get both?
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Why not?
• 7:09
  Speaker 9: Especially when it comes to healthcare, and that is Meta Share,
• 7:12
  Speaker 9: You get both. Many families save five hundred bucks a
• 7:16
  Speaker 9: month with Meta Share and that's huge, but it's also
• 7:19
  Speaker 9: true that people wind up way more satisfied too, and
• 7:21
  Speaker 9: we know this from research of members. There's a lot
• 7:24
  Speaker 9: they like about Medshare, but especially they love being part
• 7:28
  Speaker 9: of something.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: They believe in.
• 7:29
  Speaker 9: And Metashare works too. It has for more than thirty years.
• 7:33
  Speaker 9: There are hundreds of thousands of members who love having
• 7:37

  Speaker 10: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I'm
• 8:13
  Speaker 10: doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized
• 8:19
  Speaker 10: curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program.
• 8:24
  Speaker 10: It makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation
• 8:28
  Speaker 10: is a key component to our overall health. The Mayo
• 8:32
  Speaker 10: Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation. Has
• 8:37
  Speaker 10: antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent cancer
• 8:43
  Speaker 10: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
• 8:46
  Speaker 10: many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy
• 8:51
  Speaker 10: cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where we

• 10:01
  Speaker 12: up on a farm in Tennessee.

  Speaker 12: or Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
• 10:14
  Speaker 12: or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
• 10:17
  Speaker 12: secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
• 10:20
  Speaker 12: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
• 10:22
  Speaker 12: in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
• 10:25
  Speaker 12: by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
• 10:28
  Speaker 12: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 10:32
  Speaker 12: they also perform life saving work every day.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
• 10:36
  Speaker 12: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTSS.
• 10:39
  Speaker 12: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
• 10:42
  Speaker 12: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
• 10:44
  Speaker 12: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those

• 13:00
  Speaker 1: M first thing today on the Talk Media Network by
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Joe Thomas.
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: So it just it struck me. A couple of text
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: messages about Tito.
• 13:41
  Speaker 8: And you know how you know we in the West.
• 13:44
  Speaker 8: You are like, oh, it must have been great. Finally
• 13:46
  Speaker 8: get get rid of you know, Marshall, Tito and freedom
• 13:52
  Speaker 8: and comes into the collapse of communism. And to hear
• 13:59
  Speaker 8: this young and dating my daughter talking about his grandfather
• 14:03
  Speaker 8: telling the tales of how you know, Yugoslavia was so
• 14:06
  Speaker 8: much better under Tito, and it reminds us of where
• 14:15
  Speaker 8: our perspectives come from. His grandfather obviously had figured out
• 14:22
  Speaker 8: how to make life work in you know, and under
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: the communist dictatorship. So when it collapsed and things went
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: into tumult.
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: He thought that was bad.
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: Where it was it was liberation, it was freedoms, but.
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: It screwed up his life.
• 14:54
  Speaker 8: And that's the thing that I think we're looking at
• 14:57
  Speaker 8: here in the United States as well. A lot of
• 14:59
  Speaker 8: people are like, ah, I don't know if I want
• 15:00
  Speaker 8: to mess with this is why Obamacare and things like that,
• 15:03
  Speaker 8: a much smaller scale, but Marxist nonetheless, along with this
• 15:12
  Speaker 8: coalition of the damned, you know, people who are profiting
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: from their elected decisions. They don't want to change anything, obviously,
• 15:24
  Speaker 8: but you grow habits, you develop compensations. It's like the
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: fellow who injures his leg and starts compensating by the
• 15:40
  Speaker 8: gate he uses to make the injured leg less effective,
• 15:46
  Speaker 8: or impact his walk so he can still walk. He
• 15:50
  Speaker 8: just limps. The things we do to compensate for stuff,
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: because we've got to get on with the stuff.
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: And it.
• 16:04
  Speaker 8: Is an interesting junxtaposition. Many people who are of great
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: faith don't take much interest in politics because it's the
• 16:17
  Speaker 8: expression let go and let God. So they don't get
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: wound up into the political thing because they know that
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: in the end. But we are responsible for the things
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: we do here as well. And if you believe in
• 16:32
  Speaker 8: the individual liberty and beauty of a human life, and
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: you see people who by their political decisions infringe upon that,
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: you can't, as a person of good faith and conscience,
• 16:52
  Speaker 8: sit by and allow for it.
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: Can you?
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: Or can you just figure out? I've just got to
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: figure out how to get on with my day, and
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: you figure it out. We're remarkably creative people when it
• 17:04
  Speaker 8: comes to the abuses and usurpations. And so I said,
• 17:08
  Speaker 8: I was thinking about this statement about how his grandfather
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: rude the fall of Tito, and I said, you know,
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: that's what happens. That's what Jefferson was talking about when
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: he said, you know that history has shown that I'm
• 17:27
  Speaker 8: paraphrasing here, history.
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: Has shown that.
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: We are more apt to deal with the abuses and
• 17:35
  Speaker 8: usurpations as long as they are kept acceptable. When they
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: get too far, and you start rounding up people's grandparents
• 17:45
  Speaker 8: because you didn't go along with this you know, union
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: contract or whatever it is. That's when it you know,
• 17:52
  Speaker 8: that's when it starts to get salty, and that's when
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: people grab the pitchforks and the tor torches. But you know,
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: soft core Marxists like we've had since the Great Society,
• 18:03
  Speaker 8: they are adept at making sure that the water just
• 18:07
  Speaker 8: doesn't get too hot while they're boiling the frogs. Anyway, onwards,
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: further and further up. I just just thought.
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: That the.
• 18:24
  Speaker 8: Issue is of a substantial to all the other things
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: we talk about and to the national mall and depending
• 18:35
  Speaker 8: on the news network, a couple of hundred people or
• 18:37
  Speaker 8: tens of thousands of people gathered. It's amazing to watch
• 18:40
  Speaker 8: how the same rally can be covered in different ways,
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: if you want to diminish it. Some news wire services
• 18:47
  Speaker 8: barely even acknowledge that there was an event.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: Was it?
• 18:53
  Speaker 8: Ilhan Omar said, some people did something someday. Yeah, that
• 18:58
  Speaker 8: was the way that a lot of the news network
• 19:00
  Speaker 8: was covering the recommitment two fifty and a lot of
• 19:09
  Speaker 8: them are out there saying, oh, this is just now
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: you know, religious nationalism, Christian national no, it is it
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: is to me anyway, and your results can vary. When
• 19:25
  Speaker 8: kids in school are being read the Koran but aren't
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: allowed to bring a even bring a Bible in their
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: book bag. Some schools, you're better off bringing a glock
• 19:39
  Speaker 8: than a Bible in your book bag, you're probably Savor two.
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: But this assault on faith, this combat between church and state,
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: has been ramped up by those who don't want to
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: be told what to do. And I'm fine with not
• 20:03
  Speaker 8: being told what to do. Nobody is saying that you're
• 20:07
  Speaker 8: not allowed and to go back to Yugoslavia. One of
• 20:11
  Speaker 8: the things that bubbled up when Tito fell was religious
• 20:16
  Speaker 8: and ethnic battles that led to.
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: The troubles. The reason we.
• 20:23
  Speaker 8: Used trans Siberian orchestras Christmas Eve Sarajevo. A lot of
• 20:31
  Speaker 8: those battles were between ethnicities that all of a sudden
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: felt like, hey, we should be in charge and impose

• 20:54
  Speaker 8: Can't be Jewish, can't be Muslim, can't be Jehovah's witness
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: doesn't make a difference. You have to be this Lutheran.
• 21:03
  Speaker 8: Let's pick one. Can't be Baptist, got to be Lutheran,
• 21:08
  Speaker 8: can't be Seventh Day Adventists, got to be Lutheran. That's nationalism.
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: And there's none of that. None of that was on
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: display Sunday all But you listen to these commentariat members
• 21:24
  Speaker 8: and they're all out there acting like President Trump is

• 21:31
  Speaker 8: of Christianity. If Franklin Graham doesn't say you're okay, then
• 21:36
  Speaker 8: you're going to prison. That's nationalism. That's theocratic nationalism. Are
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: there any countries that do that? The United States isn't
• 21:44
  Speaker 8: one of them, But I think there are countries in

  Speaker 8: what comes next.
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: Also Massy.
• 29:09
  Speaker 8: The early voting started Thursday in Kentucky for that race
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: and again testing but apparently Donald Trump's coattails still have
• 29:19
  Speaker 8: some weight in GOP primaries there. But this is the
• 29:23
  Speaker 8: thing about representatives. And you know, we bring up how
• 29:30
  Speaker 8: the Democrats are all targeting John Fetterman, Well, the Republicans
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: were targeting Senator Cassidy, And you know, to be fair,
• 29:41
  Speaker 8: he was wrong about January sixth, and I knew he
• 29:44
  Speaker 8: was wrong about January sixth. He was just going along
• 29:46
  Speaker 8: with the rest of the cool kids. And you want
• 29:52
  Speaker 8: leadership to be somebody who can look past the cacophony
• 29:56
  Speaker 8: around you and find the reality what was being done there,
• 30:01
  Speaker 8: and he was being a reactionary. We'll get like I said,
• 30:04
  Speaker 8: we'll get into all of that coming up for you
• 30:07
  Speaker 8: and more. But Kareem is hanging on the line with
• 30:10
  Speaker 8: a thought or too on a bill that actually I.
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: Think he and I may agree on.
• 30:16
  Speaker 8: He heard it on our local news and we haven't gotten
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: into it yet, a domestic terrorism bill that's floating through Congress. Kareem,
• 30:25
  Speaker 8: thank you for hanging on the lines through what's going on.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: Oh, good morning, Joe. Right now I'm looking at the
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: tabstry at the sky every morning in Pennsylvania headed to
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: New Jersey.
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: What part of Pennsylvania.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: Eighty one I just passed, I think through Greencastle.
• 30:42
  Speaker 8: Okay, that's the beautiful there. You get up through Harrisonburg.
• 30:44
  Speaker 8: That's how That's how we drive to New York every
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: time we go from central Virginia. It's just so much
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: easier than trying to go through the sandbox in Delaware
• 30:53
  Speaker 8: and all of the I ninety five tolls that you
• 30:55
  Speaker 8: have to pass through there. So appreciate that. So so
• 31:00
  Speaker 8: this bill is a it would would increase the brushstroke
• 31:07
  Speaker 8: with on what would be considered domestic terrorism. Uh there,
• 31:12
  Speaker 8: So without you know too much backstop, I want to
• 31:16
  Speaker 8: get into what your thoughts are on it. What was
• 31:18
  Speaker 8: your reaction to hearing about this expansion of what domestic
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: terrorism can mean? This sponsored by a bunch of Republicans,
• 31:32
  Speaker 8: Matt Van Epps out of Tennessee, Wesley Hunt of Texas,
• 31:36
  Speaker 8: John McGuire, who's on the show frequently out of Virginia,
• 31:41
  Speaker 8: would define domestic terrorism for two actions that threaten American
• 31:48
  Speaker 8: lives for political purposes. And so you know that gives
• 31:53
  Speaker 8: the other folks some background on what you're reacting to.
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: So go ahead, what's your thought on that?
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: But I'll say that Bob Good, your friend from Formerville.
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: This is one of the benefits I think of him now.
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: Granted it's been while he has been in office, and
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: Hayes views matter change, But I'm not a fan of
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: government overreach. We already have a lot of laws on
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: the books at various levels, local, state, federal, that this
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: seems to be more a bill that would prevent versus
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: a bill that punishes and corrects. The reason I say
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: that is we have people that are already committing crimes,
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: have committed crimes untouched. We have a right now. There's
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: two guys in Florence ad X in Colorado, five levels
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: into the ground, into rock. They're there on decade sentences.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: They've been there for five years because well, give or take,
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: federal informants, undercover human assets, whatever you want to call them.
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: Actually had to draw them past the governor of Michigan's
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: house and say this, this is we need to we
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: need to kidnap her. And they were just hanging out
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: and two were still there and one still in prison.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: The other one got exonerated or yeah, I'll say exonerated.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: Cut a deal, and this cut a deal, let's say,
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: and these are things that the same guy that ran
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: that operation for the FBI in Michigan. It's the same
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: guy that ran the operation for January sixth investigation. And
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: we got people doing those things and they're untouched.
• 33:42
  Speaker 8: Well, and I'll tell you my concern with this bill
• 33:47
  Speaker 8: is that is the allowing government to define what a
• 33:52
  Speaker 8: political purpose is too. So if I'm protesting, let's say, Obamacare,
• 33:58
  Speaker 8: and we held some you know, hand off my healthcare
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: rallies back in the day, and Barack Obama and Eric
• 34:05
  Speaker 8: Holder decided that's a political rally, and we're obstructing some
• 34:10
  Speaker 8: form of justice. We're holding a rally on the street
• 34:13
  Speaker 8: and you know, might block a driveway or something, and
• 34:16
  Speaker 8: you start arresting people for obstruction of justice.
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: You know, it becomes.
• 34:24
  Speaker 8: The devil in the details of how you define what
• 34:27
  Speaker 8: a political rally is, and on top of that, what
• 34:31
  Speaker 8: obstruction of justice is. So you've already got the moving
• 34:34
  Speaker 8: feast of definitions of what obstruction of justice is. And
• 34:39
  Speaker 8: then on top of that you then layer in a
• 34:43
  Speaker 8: government determining what political rally is, especially if it's contrary
• 34:49
  Speaker 8: to the politics of the government.
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: If you follow me on.
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: That, Joe, not only do I follow you that, here's
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: how I can dogwalk going off that Obamacare. The IRS
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: when they said, oh, a lot of care has attacked,
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: so it's okay, the IRS started hoovering all the medical
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: records in a state of California, the largest vivid's class
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: action lawsuit brought against the federal government because the I
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: R S was getting all medical records. And you say, oh, no, no, no,
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: they were just getting billiing R.
• 35:21
  Speaker 16: No.
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: They weren't getting billion records. They were getting notes.
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: And it was I say for everybody. I mean it
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: was for the actors, it was for the sports athletes,
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: it was for you, anybody who lived there, who went
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: to a physician, who went medical care. They were getting.
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: So the lawsu had to go in to stop that.
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: Right we'll say, oh, we'll say okay this this agency
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: can't touch it like a form forty four seventy three.
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: ATF can't go in and carry it forty four to
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: seventy three from the from your gun store to keep
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: for their records. But another agency can because they're not
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: prohibited by law. Right now, I mentioned New Jersey. Right now,
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: New Jersey's wanting the records of all glock owners, all
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: of them in the Sadian Jersey because they want a
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: lawsuit against Clock. If you might have noticed, Block changed
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: their models this auto switch on the back that people
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: can buy. And why I say buy, I mean black market,
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: I don't mean legal. I mean they buy, they attach
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: it the gun, and suddenly their clock becomes fully automatic.
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: They sued Glock over there over their design because of
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: this switch that some third party created, and they won.
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: So Glock changed. This is in Ourtoba. They changed their
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: lineup and so now New Jersey's going after the owners.
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: They're going they're trying to do it legally through the process.
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: But the.
• 36:47
  Speaker 8: Records what what you're talking about and coming up on
• 36:49
  Speaker 8: a break, But I just want to stick the landing
• 36:51
  Speaker 8: if I can for you is that once records are kept,
• 36:56
  Speaker 8: you know who gets them and why becomes the A
• 37:00
  Speaker 8: movable feast often debated at midnight and voted on at
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: one am when nobody is paying attention. And you talk
• 37:07
  Speaker 8: about hippa, you can add vaccine cards and all the
• 37:13
  Speaker 8: other public health requirements that mean the government has to
• 37:18
  Speaker 8: know what you're doing with your doctor. And I brought
• 37:21
  Speaker 8: this up to people all the time, especially in the world.
• 37:25
  Speaker 8: You drag abortion into this Roe versus Wade was decided
• 37:29
  Speaker 8: on medical privacy. It had very little outside of the
• 37:32
  Speaker 8: fact that the case had to do with Texas wanting
• 37:36
  Speaker 8: to know what you were doing with your doctor. And
• 37:39
  Speaker 8: I said this to my left wing friends, You're.
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: Going to lose Roe versus Weight.
• 37:44
  Speaker 8: In exchange for vaccine cards. And they did because the
• 37:47
  Speaker 8: government knowing what you're doing with your doctor is now okay,
• 37:51
  Speaker 8: because I guess we like the government now. Kareem, you
• 37:55
  Speaker 8: have a great drive and join New Jersey as much
• 37:57
  Speaker 8: as possible, and we'll talk to you again soon.

  Speaker 22: and more than ninety percent of educators said engagement is

  Speaker 22: critical for student achievement. Student engagement is essential for learning,
• 38:15
  Speaker 22: but gaps remain about how to achieve, measure and sustain
• 38:18
  Speaker 22: student's interest in the classroom. Although sixty three percent of
• 38:22
  Speaker 22: students agreed that students are highly engaged in school, only
• 38:26
  Speaker 22: forty five percent of teachers and fifty one percent of
• 38:28
  Speaker 22: principles surveyed agreed with the same statement. Educators disagreed on
• 38:33
  Speaker 22: the top indicators of engagement. Seventy two percent of teachers
• 38:37
  Speaker 22: said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of student engagement,
• 38:41
  Speaker 22: while fifty four percent of superintendents rate performing well on
• 38:44
  Speaker 22: assessments as a top engagement indicator. Also, two thirds of
• 38:49
  Speaker 22: students said they believed that AI could help them learn faster,

  Speaker 21: million people a year. Even sadder, most of these deaths

  Speaker 21: are preventable with a few lifestyle changes, including regular activity,
• 41:18
  Speaker 21: healthier eating, and not smoking. Talk to your doctor about

• 41:26
  Speaker 21: if your doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication, listen. The
• 41:30
  Speaker 21: reason so many die is because not enough are willing

  Speaker 18: a man.
• 44:39
  Speaker 7: He walks down.
• 44:41
  Speaker 8: So we had the swamp and text message amen, and
• 44:46
  Speaker 8: I like when you drag, you know. So we were
• 44:48
  Speaker 8: just scene setting a little bit, telling you what you
• 44:51
  Speaker 8: know we have on the docket of things. And Bill
• 44:54
  Speaker 8: Cassidy's lost in Louisiana. And keep in mind everyone's saying
• 44:59
  Speaker 8: he lost to the Trump endorsed congressman.
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: Would let Low. He didn't just lose to her.
• 45:06
  Speaker 8: Well, he finished third, so it's not like let Low
• 45:14
  Speaker 8: got a couple of hundred more votes than Cassidy Louisiana
• 45:22
  Speaker 8: and said no, thank well. Republicans in Louisiana said no,
• 45:26
  Speaker 8: thank you to a reactionary and in politic get along
• 45:33
  Speaker 8: to go along kind of guy. And we have Congress
• 45:36
  Speaker 8: is just packed full of these people, and they have
• 45:39
  Speaker 8: way too much impact because we have way too few
• 45:43
  Speaker 8: members of the House to blunt the impact of these
• 45:45
  Speaker 8: get along to go along types who allow the little
• 45:50
  Speaker 8: power brokers, the frank Underwoods of American history to push
• 45:56
  Speaker 8: them around because.
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: They just like the gig.
• 46:00
  Speaker 8: Interviewed on TV a few times, sell a book or two,
• 46:06
  Speaker 8: ride in the front of the parade. It's a good
• 46:08
  Speaker 8: gig fun, especially a us centator. Do you only have
• 46:13
  Speaker 8: to go and really worry your constituents once every six years.
• 46:20
  Speaker 8: You weren't supposed to have to worry about your constituents.
• 46:22
  Speaker 8: You were supposed to represent the needs of your state
• 46:25
  Speaker 8: because you were the one that was supposed to come
• 46:27
  Speaker 8: back and say, here, here's what our percentage is this time.
• 46:33
  Speaker 8: But aside from the constitutional bastardization of the job bill,
• 46:38
  Speaker 8: Cassidy didn't just lose to let low the Republicans of
• 46:44
  Speaker 8: Louisiana said yeah, and some of it, a lot of
• 46:48
  Speaker 8: it is being blamed on j six And that's where
• 46:50
  Speaker 8: this text message comes in, Maureen, who writes in what
• 46:55
  Speaker 8: do you mean Cassidy got January sixth wrong? What I
• 47:00
  Speaker 8: mean is he, like Vice President Pence, did what it
• 47:10
  Speaker 8: did perhaps the most inconservative thing out there and the
• 47:15
  Speaker 8: most Unamerican kind of thing out there, jump rushed to judgment.
• 47:26
  Speaker 8: And so when the idea of impeaching Donald Trump for
• 47:30
  Speaker 8: his involvement in January six, the whole thing was predicated on,
• 47:40
  Speaker 8: we don't care what actually went on. He was there,
• 47:43
  Speaker 8: he was he held a rally, and Trump could have
• 47:47
  Speaker 8: said nothing at all about protesting or anything else if
• 47:51
  Speaker 8: those two hundred some odd FBI confidential sources hadn't been
• 47:59
  Speaker 8: hanging around there whispering in people's ears about we should.
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: Go in and show them something.
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: Allegedly.
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: Othough, you know, where's.
• 48:12
  Speaker 8: The impeachment hearing from Merrick Garland and the rest of
• 48:16
  Speaker 8: the goons at the National Police Force and their confidential
• 48:23
  Speaker 8: sources that were just hanging around all dressed in Trump
• 48:27
  Speaker 8: paraphernalia to blend in waiting for the crowd to get there,
• 48:34
  Speaker 8: because you certainly, if no crime is happening, you can
• 48:38
  Speaker 8: make one. And so we had so little information about
• 48:46
  Speaker 8: what went on, and they just decided, hey, let's vote
• 48:52
  Speaker 8: to impeach a guy who's not even in office anymore.
• 48:58
  Speaker 8: The idea being we can be rid of this guy forever,
• 49:02
  Speaker 8: and by this guy. That meant all the Americans that
• 49:05
  Speaker 8: voted for him as well. So my point, Maureen, about
• 49:11
  Speaker 8: why Cassidy, along with Pence and all the other folks
• 49:14
  Speaker 8: who bastardized more constitutional protections. So the whole point of
• 49:19
  Speaker 8: January sixth, the constitutional date, was that Congress, upon receiving
• 49:29
  Speaker 8: each state's electoral votes, was allowed to examine each one
• 49:37
  Speaker 8: and challenge something Maxine Waters wore herself out doing every
• 49:43
  Speaker 8: time a Republican won, Maxine Waters was challenging the electoral
• 49:47
  Speaker 8: vote from some state or another, not just Florida in
• 49:52
  Speaker 8: two thousand and one. But January sixth was the date
• 49:55
  Speaker 8: you did that. Mike Pence and Bill Cassidy and these
• 49:58
  Speaker 8: folks immediately emasculated Congress by saying, you know what, We're
• 50:08
  Speaker 8: not gonna do that anymore. It's perfunctory. And now it's
• 50:12
  Speaker 8: just a ceremonial acceptance of votes that were certified within
• 50:16
  Speaker 8: the state, no checks and balances anymore. And I remind
• 50:25
  Speaker 8: you that all these things, you know, you're gonna wind
• 50:29
  Speaker 8: up on the wrong side of it. If you don't
• 50:31
  Speaker 8: like Donald Trump today, you're gonna like someone tomorrow, and
• 50:34
  Speaker 8: they're gonna wind up getting done in by this, and
• 50:38
  Speaker 8: you're gonna want those protections back. Too much of our
• 50:45
  Speaker 8: modern life is being gobbled up into this idea of
• 50:48
  Speaker 8: we have to do this just as top Trump. Virginia
• 50:54
  Speaker 8: our flagship state, classic example, we need to temporarily suspend
• 50:58
  Speaker 8: our constitution because of Trump. I mean it was the
• 51:02
  Speaker 8: political manifestation of Trump derangement syndrome. So obsessed with Trump
• 51:14
  Speaker 8: derangement syndrome. Our own attorney general couldn't spell attorney general.
• 51:20
  Speaker 8: He was so upset, couldn't even spell the name of
• 51:26
  Speaker 8: the state he's the attorney general for. I'll presume that
• 51:30
  Speaker 8: it was because he was so angry. And so, I mean,
• 51:35
  Speaker 8: Trump derangement syndrome can do that to people. You've seen
• 51:38
  Speaker 8: it go to any no king's rally, which, funny enough,
• 51:42
  Speaker 8: never seemed to manifest when the actual King of England
• 51:45
  Speaker 8: was here.
• 51:47
  Speaker 5: Funny that.
• 51:49
  Speaker 8: But so when I say they got January sixth wrong,
• 51:51
  Speaker 8: they got January sixth wrong because they rushed to judgment
• 51:54
  Speaker 8: on it. They jump to conclusions. And nobody should be
• 52:03
  Speaker 8: in a leadership position. Nobody should be asked or tasked
• 52:08
  Speaker 8: with the idea of representing people's voices that are going
• 52:12
  Speaker 8: to rush to judge, jump to conclusion, because that is
• 52:21
  Speaker 8: ninety nine percent of where we are right now as
• 52:24
  Speaker 8: a country.
• 52:24
  Speaker 5: We're rushing to judgment, jumping.
• 52:26
  Speaker 8: To conclusions, and it is inconservative, and it is the
• 52:31
  Speaker 8: way the authoritarians are going to fool us into signing
• 52:38
  Speaker 8: away our liberties without a moment's thought of hold it.
• 52:44
