- 0:01Speaker 1: Fiance.
- 0:02Speaker 2: I'm morem Megan.
- 0:03Speaker 3: Now make America again and I've ever.
- 0:07Speaker 1: Been making mornings great again. First thing today on the
- 0:11Speaker 1: Chalk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Thank you for joining us on this Tedsday, the day
- 0:37Speaker 2: that this radio program celebrates the gifts God has given
- 0:41Speaker 2: you exemplar by our oracle, Ted Nugent. But not everyone's
- 0:47Speaker 2: a guitar player. Some are butchers, bakers, candlestick makers. Whatever.
- 0:51Speaker 2: God has gifted you with the talent to do your expertise,
- 0:55Speaker 2: and it applied voraciously for a grateful constituency, leads you
- 1:01Speaker 2: to a place where you're remote immune to the nattering
- 1:05Speaker 2: nabobs of negativism and the snowflakes that want to hate.
- 1:10Speaker 2: I mean, sometimes lawyers need to get involved, and that's unfortunate.
- 1:14Speaker 2: But for the most part, you can go into your
- 1:17Speaker 2: day singing a song and hum in a happy tune
- 1:21Speaker 2: this morning. That's how we roll on the programming side,
- 1:24Speaker 2: and I hope that's how you roll on the listener side.
- 1:27Speaker 2: If you don't, I've got tips and we can share them.
- 1:31Speaker 2: But lots and lots to go. We learned a new
- 1:34Speaker 2: phrase that I've never heard before. Unleash the sword of Chang.
- 1:43Speaker 2: Apparently it's a long standing state department. Unleash the sword
- 1:48Speaker 2: of Shang, which is what Marco Rubio is claiming is
- 1:53Speaker 2: going to happen next to the folks in Iran if
- 1:57Speaker 2: they don't come about. A statement I made almost came
- 2:01Speaker 2: to pass yesterday. One of you compared the line of
- 2:07Speaker 2: succession to ducks in a shooting gallery, and I said,
- 2:13Speaker 2: you know, it's like the mechanical ones. They just go
- 2:15Speaker 2: around and round and around. And then apparently ordinance was
- 2:19Speaker 2: set off at a meeting of the clerics in Tehran
- 2:24Speaker 2: that we're gathering to try to pick the next Ayatola
- 2:29Speaker 2: for the Iranian government. But we will give you all
- 2:32Speaker 2: the details on that get with you, But plenty of
- 2:35Speaker 2: other things going on as well on this Tedsday morning
- 2:39Speaker 2: here on the talk media Networks. Thank you for joining
- 2:43Speaker 2: us at four three four eight eight two four two
- 2:46Speaker 2: one seven. After we tell you what went on in
- 2:48Speaker 2: the world, you tell us how it's impacting you. Of
- 2:51Speaker 2: course I will share my analysis with you liberally, but
- 2:55Speaker 2: that's the only way you'll get to hear me use
- 2:58Speaker 2: that phrase as relationship to what we do for you.
- 3:03Speaker 2: And so here we go. First things this morning, we'll
- 3:07Speaker 2: start with the Texas primary results. As we told you yesterday,
- 3:12Speaker 2: holding mostly true to form, James Tallerico has defeated Jasmine
- 3:18Speaker 2: Crockett by one hundred and sixty some one thousand votes,
- 3:22Speaker 2: fifty three percent of the votes tallied to forty five
- 3:26Speaker 2: point seven that's about ninety percent of the votes counted
- 3:31Speaker 2: already in the Republican primary, it's headed to a runoff.
- 3:35Speaker 2: It appears as John Cornyn came up from behind. Mostly
- 3:42Speaker 2: pundits are saying with the assistance of Wesley Hunt's thirteen
- 3:46Speaker 2: point five percent that he collected out of the ninety
- 3:51Speaker 2: two percent of the votes counted, John Cornyan holds a
- 3:54Speaker 2: forty one point nine percent lead to Ken Paxton's forty
- 3:59Speaker 2: point eight. Two of them will go on to a runoff.
- 4:04Speaker 2: Dan Crenshaw lost his primary bid to stay Texas's second
- 4:09Speaker 2: congressional district representative to State Rep. Steve Tath. Tath is
- 4:14Speaker 2: sixty five, a small business owner with a background in
- 4:18Speaker 2: construction business consulting, and was endorsed by President Trump. Microsoft
- 4:24Speaker 2: co founder Bill Gates is among seven people who on
- 4:28Speaker 2: Tuesday were called to testify before the House Oversight and
- 4:32Speaker 2: Government Reform Committee regarding its ongoing investigation into convicted sex
- 4:38Speaker 2: trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. The six others were Leslie Graff, former
- 4:43Speaker 2: longtime executive assistant to Epstein, Sarah Kellen, another Epstein employee,
- 4:49Speaker 2: Katherine Ruemler, former White House council to Barack Obama, Leon Black,
- 4:55Speaker 2: co founder of Apollo Global Management, Doug Band, personal aid
- 5:00Speaker 2: and counselor to President Bill Clinton, and tech billionaire Ted Wyatt,
- 5:05Speaker 2: former boyfriend of Galaine Maxwell. Secretary of State Marco Rubio
- 5:11Speaker 2: said Tuesday that the US and Israel in the coming
- 5:14Speaker 2: days will intensify their attacks. What's about to happen? Rubio said,
- 5:19Speaker 2: what you're about to see. You know, we're going to
- 5:22Speaker 2: unleash chang on these people. That phrase comes from an
- 5:27Speaker 2: expression used in the Bush administrations, referring to the sword
- 5:32Speaker 2: of Shang Kai shek Us military is reporting they've destroyed
- 5:37Speaker 2: seventeen around in ships, including a submarine, and struck nearly
- 5:42Speaker 2: two thousand targets in country. Brand Cooper, Reuter's commander of
- 5:47Speaker 2: Brand Cooper reported to Reuters Cooper is the US Central

- 6:29Speaker 2: son of the Shah of Iran and has expressed interest
- 6:33Speaker 2: in returning to the country, also hearing that other notables
- 6:38Speaker 2: will be there. We'll bring you all the coverage coming

- 8:07Speaker 3: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 3: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 3: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 3: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 3: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31Speaker 3: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:36Speaker 3: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42Speaker 3: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer and
- 8:46Speaker 3: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51Speaker 3: healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

- 9:58Speaker 6: Hi, everybody, I'm Jackhannah. It's always a boy. Growing up
- 10:01Speaker 6: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 6: I'm not only in alle of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 6: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:08Speaker 6: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 6: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 10:15Speaker 6: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 10:17Speaker 6: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21Speaker 6: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 10:23Speaker 6: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 10:25Speaker 6: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 10:29Speaker 6: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 10:32Speaker 6: perform life saving work every day.
- 10:34Speaker 2: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
- 10:36Speaker 6: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
- 10:39Speaker 6: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
- 10:42Speaker 6: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
- 10:44Speaker 6: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
- 10:47Speaker 6: in need.

- 13:38Speaker 15: And.
- 13:41Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's.
- 13:43Speaker 16: More like that that scratch fever text message from Teresa
- 13:49Speaker 16: at four three four eight eight two four two one seven,
- 13:53Speaker 16: and I pick up on it because we wanted to
- 13:55Speaker 16: get into the Texas primary results tracking.
- 13:59Speaker 2: Interesting the on the Democrat side, very much like we
- 14:05Speaker 2: reported to you yesterday. Polls holding true Tall Rico with
- 14:09Speaker 2: a pretty comfortable lead over Jasmine Crockett message question mark,
- 14:16Speaker 2: but then it was a little closer. The polls were
- 14:20Speaker 2: tracking that the Texas Senate GOP race was going to
- 14:23Speaker 2: go to a runoff anyway. Although some of the polls
- 14:29Speaker 2: had started to say that Cornyan was falling enough behind
- 14:39Speaker 2: that it might not, but it wound up getting there anyway.
- 14:45Speaker 2: Cornyn actually with a little bit of a lead. But
- 14:49Speaker 2: I think we had one poll yesterday that said Paxton
- 14:53Speaker 2: was enjoying fifty point one percent. But that being said
- 14:58Speaker 2: Wesley Hunt, as he had been accused of through the
- 15:02Speaker 2: course of the race, playing spoiler, his thirteen point five
- 15:07Speaker 2: percent would have put either one Paxton or cornyin. His
- 15:12Speaker 2: campaign was basically built off the idea that Paxton was
- 15:17Speaker 2: too extreme and Cornyon was too liberal there and that
- 15:21Speaker 2: he was the So where do those thirteen percent of
- 15:25Speaker 2: the votes go on May twenty six, when the runoff
- 15:30Speaker 2: will happen. May twenty six will be the runoff. So
- 15:33Speaker 2: you've got two months of bombs being dropped on political
- 15:38Speaker 2: candidates and it'll be interesting to see do we have
- 15:42Speaker 2: the So anti war, can you be an anti hawk?
- 15:49Speaker 2: I think you can. Tim Kaine, missing never an opportunity
- 15:56Speaker 2: to draw attention to himself, took to the floor of
- 16:02Speaker 2: the US Senate, where John Cornyon still serves, has been
- 16:06Speaker 2: serving for what now twenty four years, longer than Tim
- 16:12Speaker 2: Kaine has and Tim Kaine took to the Senate floor.
- 16:20Speaker 2: More time I go there, I am to encourage his
- 16:24Speaker 2: compatriots to vote to restrict money and to stop the
- 16:30Speaker 2: president from the war in Aghanistan, war in Iran. Those
- 16:37Speaker 2: activities there from those lessons, and.
- 16:41Speaker 17: Every member of this body will do the most solemn
- 16:43Speaker 17: thing any of us ever do. Vote on whether the
- 16:46Speaker 17: United States should be at war. That sounds like an abstraction.
- 16:50Speaker 2: Actually the most solemn thing they ever do is to
- 16:52Speaker 2: vote for a pay raise. But that's another matter.
- 16:54Speaker 17: Vote on whether we want to send our own kids,
- 16:58Speaker 17: our own sons and daughters, the most precious resource we
- 17:02Speaker 17: have in this country, into a war that could end
- 17:05Speaker 17: up like the wars we have just recently exited in
- 17:10Speaker 17: the same region.
- 17:13Speaker 2: Notice how he paused there for a moment, trying to
- 17:15Speaker 2: collect his thoughts around the horrific exit from Afghanistan the
- 17:20Speaker 2: Biden administration administered. So Tim kan getting his rhetorical sort
- 17:27Speaker 2: of chang out there. I like that phrase. I'm going
- 17:30Speaker 2: to use that a lot, even though it comes from
- 17:32Speaker 2: the Bush family. Chen Kai Shek. Only the Bush family
- 17:36Speaker 2: would invoke Shang Kai Shek to invoke the idea of
- 17:42Speaker 2: unleashing Holy Hell on a military opponent. But so, what
- 17:49Speaker 2: does John Cornyn do if this vote comes before May
- 17:56Speaker 2: twenty six? Obviously that Tim Kain would like it to
- 17:59Speaker 2: happen sooner rather than later, what does John Cornyon do?
- 18:02Speaker 2: Already tagged with being mostly Susan Collins only with a necktie,
- 18:12Speaker 2: mostly Senator Murkowski, but with a necktie, no skirt, most
- 18:17Speaker 2: at least publicly no skirt, and Paxton keeps getting tagged
- 18:26Speaker 2: for being too extreme. Yet as Attorney General, Texans have
- 18:32Speaker 2: stood by and watch Paxton go after all sorts of
- 18:36Speaker 2: misdeeds and do the very thing that a lot of
- 18:40Speaker 2: conservatives say they wish people like Corndon would do more frequently.
- 18:44Speaker 2: We're watching it here in Virginia as judge after judge
- 18:48Speaker 2: after judge says I don't want to touch this. As
- 18:52Speaker 2: law after law after law gets broken by Democrats, the
- 18:57Speaker 2: judges keep hiding behind a precedent that says, yeah, well,
- 19:03Speaker 2: we can't rule on anything until it's done. That would
- 19:07Speaker 2: be like a police officer seeing criminals robbing your house
- 19:14Speaker 2: and upon meeting you in the street saying, there's a
- 19:18Speaker 2: guy at my house robbing it. I'm sorry, we can't
- 19:22Speaker 2: arrest him until he completes robbing your house. But yeah,
- 19:26Speaker 2: but he hasn't actually left your house with anything yet.
- 19:29Speaker 2: He could just be rearranging it. It's a crazy made world.
- 19:35Speaker 2: But Packson was one of those folks who stood and
- 19:38Speaker 2: fought against it. As a matter of fact, here in Virginia,
- 19:41Speaker 2: frequently I would have people complain about our previous attorney general,
- 19:48Speaker 2: a Republican, because he wouldn't join efforts. Packson was making
- 19:53Speaker 2: these joint resolutions and these statements of purpose against the administration.
- 20:05Speaker 2: So May twenty six, the bombs will drop on Cornin
- 20:10Speaker 2: and Packson as much as anyone. Several folks friends of
- 20:14Speaker 2: mine in Texas are saying they're waiting to see who
- 20:17Speaker 2: Wesley Hunt endorses in this. Meanwhile, what does Jasmine Crockett
- 20:23Speaker 2: take from this? She didn't lose by as much as
- 20:26Speaker 2: the Poles said she was going to. But is this
- 20:31Speaker 2: a rebuke of her radicalism? Here in Virginia, where my
- 20:44Speaker 2: experience is the most, Jasmine Crockett would have lost by
- 20:48Speaker 2: a whole lot more because she went big time. She
- 20:52Speaker 2: spent more time in Connecticut giving speeches than in Texas.
- 20:57Speaker 2: She spent more time on the set of the View
- 21:00Speaker 2: than in Austin or Beaumont or anywhere like that, and
- 21:07Speaker 2: that's usually political disaster. There are very few states, maybe California,
- 21:13Speaker 2: that rewards politicians for showing up on TV more than
- 21:17Speaker 2: they show up at the farmer's market on a Saturday morning.
- 21:26Speaker 2: And maybe she learns from it, and that's to all
- 21:28Speaker 2: of our peril. But one pundit I was reading after
- 21:34Speaker 2: the results said, well, whoever wins the GOP runoff is
- 21:39Speaker 2: going to beat tall Rico, mostly pointing to his fifty
- 21:46Speaker 2: three percent results, saying the Democrats aren't thrilled with tall Rico,
- 21:50Speaker 2: they just were more thrilled with him than they were
- 21:53Speaker 2: with Crockett, and that he will lose to whoever the
- 21:56Speaker 2: GOP nominee is. We will see May is the runoff.
- 22:01Speaker 18: Hey Brandt, and her name is shay I Love. She's
- 22:04Speaker 18: a friend of mine whom we were just praying for
- 22:07Speaker 18: because of a surgery. She just went through.
- 22:09Speaker 19: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
- 22:11Speaker 19: talk about all the time, which is meta share.
- 22:14Speaker 18: That is right, Yeah, So what was your experience like
- 22:17Speaker 18: with meta share and health care ability?
- 22:18Speaker 19: Honestly, Brandt seamless and what a blessing that is when
- 22:21Speaker 19: you're already nervous about a health issue which I was.
- 22:24Speaker 19: Members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
- 22:27Speaker 19: me tell you, having people pray with you when you
- 22:30Speaker 19: call in with your need, that is just refreshing. Yes,
- 22:34Speaker 19: that's what it is.
- 22:35Speaker 2: I keep telling people.
- 22:36Speaker 18: People love meda share and they love saving money. The
- 22:39Speaker 18: typical family can save five hundred dollars a month.
- 22:42Speaker 19: I am very thankful for Meta Share. It is so different,
- 22:46Speaker 19: and I mean different in a very very good way.
- 22:48Speaker 18: It is good different call now. They're easy to talk
- 22:51Speaker 18: to and you can get a price within two minutes.
- 22:53Speaker 18: Call eight five five Share forty. That's eight five five
- 22:56Speaker 18: s h a r E forty eight five five share.
- 23:01Speaker 11: Hi.
- 23:01Speaker 8: I'm doctor Michael Bailey, President of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
- 23:06Speaker 8: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
- 23:11Speaker 8: better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
- 23:15Speaker 8: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases. AI supports
- 23:20Speaker 8: veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
- 23:25Speaker 8: personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
- 23:30Speaker 8: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
- 23:34Speaker 8: on patients, but, as with any new technology, always keep

- 24:03Speaker 3: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 24:07Speaker 3: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 24:12Speaker 3: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18Speaker 3: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22Speaker 3: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or

- 24:31Speaker 3: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 3: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:42Speaker 3: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 24:45Speaker 3: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

- 28:12Speaker 1: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
- 28:40Speaker 2: And our sort of chang at least the chang that's
- 28:48Speaker 2: the phrase that pays. This morning at four three four
- 28:51Speaker 2: eighty two four two one seven, we tell you the
- 28:55Speaker 2: news of the day, will tell you what we see
- 28:57Speaker 2: in the debris field left over at the crime and
- 29:01Speaker 2: then want to hear how it's impacting you. I'm told
- 29:03Speaker 2: we have whistleblowers on the line, whistle blowers with inside information.
- 29:08Speaker 2: We will see. Good morning, Bob, how are you, sir?
- 29:12Speaker 15: Hey, I'm doing good. It's going again in Moscow. When
- 29:16Speaker 15: I was on a conference call with a lady in
- 29:21Speaker 15: France and she took a pause because she said there
- 29:25Speaker 15: was a bunch of military jets flying over where she
- 29:28Speaker 15: was at. So my assumption is, since the United since
- 29:33Speaker 15: Spain is not allowing the US to use their airfields anymore,
- 29:38Speaker 15: that he's must to come from France or Germany or
- 29:42Speaker 15: impossibly England who I ran to dump their missiles or
- 29:47Speaker 15: their bombs, and then to come back because she said
- 29:50Speaker 15: she's lived there for decades and has never ever seen
- 29:57Speaker 15: or heard a military jet flight over her her house.
- 30:01Speaker 2: Well, I know that Pierre Starmer finally got permission from
- 30:10Speaker 2: the the Islamic community in Britain to allow American jets
- 30:16Speaker 2: to fly sorties out of Britain. Uh there, and so
- 30:21Speaker 2: that's probably.
- 30:23Speaker 15: That's probably where they came from them. But I just
- 30:25Speaker 15: thought it was kind of interesting that you were talking
- 30:29Speaker 15: we're talking about you know, you were talking about all
- 30:32Speaker 15: the missions that they're in and here I am on
- 30:34Speaker 15: the conference call talking about education and that's happened.
- 30:40Speaker 2: Well, it's it's going to be interesting to see, you know,
- 30:43Speaker 2: and again to cycle back to what we were talking
- 30:46Speaker 2: about yesterday is what happens on the ground. You know,
- 30:50Speaker 2: one of the most fascinating things I've been able to
- 30:54Speaker 2: unearth is that along with the son of the Shah,
- 30:59Speaker 2: apparently the son of the first Ayatola, the main eye,
- 31:02Speaker 2: the the Iyatola that was hiding in France during his
- 31:07Speaker 2: exile that came back in nineteen seventy seven. Uh Komani
- 31:13Speaker 2: is apparently a political prisoner in Iran. That's got to
- 31:18Speaker 2: be awkward. And because he was, he grew up to
- 31:22Speaker 2: be a dissident.
- 31:25Speaker 15: Right, which is very true. But the other thing you
- 31:28Speaker 15: have everyone has to understand the Democratic Party Shumer, Akeem,
- 31:34Speaker 15: Jeffries Pelosi, Harry Reid, Obama, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton are
- 31:44Speaker 15: in bed with the Sites, which is the Ayatola faction.
- 31:49Speaker 15: That's why they in Biden, That's why they sent him
- 31:52Speaker 15: billions of dollars, you know, during the Obama administration. During
- 31:57Speaker 15: the Biden administration, Obama sent him six billion, Biden sent
- 32:01Speaker 15: four billion dollars. They're in bed with them.
- 32:06Speaker 2: Here's the thing about that is, I've poked around it.
- 32:10Speaker 2: It's not even ideological because you say, well, why they
- 32:13Speaker 2: picked the Shia over the Sunni, and it's mostly because
- 32:19Speaker 2: they are in the most of the cases, the people
- 32:23Speaker 2: with the guns and the and the jeeps and the tanks,
- 32:27Speaker 2: so they rule these countries. These are the they're the
- 32:31Speaker 2: more politically active sect of the Islamic faith. They're the
- 32:36Speaker 2: ones who want to use the government as the cudgel
- 32:40Speaker 2: to drive people into their mosque, and so they wind
- 32:44Speaker 2: up in the power. And so then the Democrats in
- 32:47Speaker 2: the United States go, well, you know it, you know
- 32:50Speaker 2: it behooves us, so we're going to throw money at
- 32:52Speaker 2: it more of our you know, ignorant state craft. But yeah,
- 32:57Speaker 2: that's that's true.
- 32:58Speaker 15: But the whole point is you're spot on. But the
- 33:01Speaker 15: issue is is who supplied I Ran with all the weapons?
- 33:07Speaker 15: Who supplied the Taliban with all the weapons?
- 33:10Speaker 2: The Democrats, well, I think I think in Iran, Iran,
- 33:14Speaker 2: it's we're facing a lot of Russian made stuff there
- 33:17Speaker 2: because they've they've been much more of a Russian ally
- 33:20Speaker 2: even and a lot of Obama and Biden's attempts to
- 33:25Speaker 2: throw money at the Ayatola have been in that classic
- 33:29Speaker 2: seventies and eighties proxy war sort of way. You know,
- 33:33Speaker 2: will lean towards the Soviet Union of the United States,
- 33:36Speaker 2: will throw lots of money at us, and then we'll
- 33:38Speaker 2: lean towards the United States, and the Soviet Union would
- 33:41Speaker 2: throw lots of stuff at US, and I think that's
- 33:44Speaker 2: been the operating procedure in Iran, but they've much more been,
- 33:50Speaker 2: especially in the last ten years, aligned with Russia in
- 33:53Speaker 2: the Brick Bank and all of this other stuff.
- 33:57Speaker 15: Actually, actually I firm.
- 33:59Speaker 2: The China to China. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I just
- 34:05Speaker 2: threw China in there at.
- 34:06Speaker 1: The end of.
- 34:08Speaker 15: China's a quiet one and all of this.
- 34:11Speaker 2: I'm just trying to get you. I'm just trying to
- 34:13Speaker 2: get the FSB to visit you this morning. That's all
- 34:16Speaker 2: I'm trying to do, is I keep saying stuff like that.
- 34:20Speaker 2: Here the knock on the door.
- 34:22Speaker 15: Yeah, but yeah, and if they if they rescuing, throw
- 34:25Speaker 15: me in jail. The only problem is that the United
- 34:28Speaker 15: States will let me sit in jail because I'm not
- 34:31Speaker 15: like Britney Griner. I don't believe the lgbt Q, and
- 34:36Speaker 15: I'm not a drug and i'm and I'm not drugs
- 34:39Speaker 15: like like the other American. They just got out there
- 34:42Speaker 15: with a teacher, former employee of the embassy, but he
- 34:46Speaker 15: came into the country with illegal drugs.
- 34:50Speaker 2: Well, I'd speak up for you. I wouldn't trade a
- 34:53Speaker 2: I wouldn't trade a Russian spy for you, but I
- 34:56Speaker 2: would speak up for you.
- 35:00Speaker 15: Yes, but then you might end up in jail in America.
- 35:03Speaker 2: American jails is three hots and a cot. You know,
- 35:06Speaker 2: you know I'll play tennis, you know I'll get uh uh.
- 35:09Speaker 2: But anyway, I appreciate it, Bob.
- 35:12Speaker 15: But they could put but they could put you in
- 35:14Speaker 15: Jeffrey Epstein's stall, which is known for people to die suddenly.
- 35:19Speaker 2: The the look the other way sweet at the at
- 35:23Speaker 2: Rikers Island. Yes, that's it. Hey, look over there, what's
- 35:27Speaker 2: that flashing light? Anyway, let me get line to here, Bob.
- 35:30Speaker 2: I appreciate it, sir. All right. So uh jets flying
- 35:34Speaker 2: over France. I bet that's caused some consternation amongst the bagettes.
- 35:39Speaker 2: Good morning, Joel. How are you doing, sir? Good morning John.
- 35:43Speaker 20: I'm doing I'm doing okay.
- 35:44Speaker 2: I love that.
- 35:44Speaker 20: That's fine.
- 35:45Speaker 2: Constant.
- 35:46Speaker 20: That's causing consternation amongst the bagettes. That's too funny.
- 35:51Speaker 2: Well, you know what was what was the character? It
- 35:54Speaker 2: was the panther in the Jungle Book baghera and in
- 35:58Speaker 2: the classic and the Sicky's version, they kept he keeps
- 36:02Speaker 2: calling him baggy. Hey, come on, Baggy, get with the program.
- 36:05Speaker 2: Come on baggy get with the program anyway, very hipster.
- 36:09Speaker 2: So what's on your mind this morning?
- 36:12Speaker 20: Well, I think the Republicans should should capitalize on the Democrats,
- 36:20Speaker 20: you know, claiming that they care about family, they care
- 36:23Speaker 20: about their sons and daughters, because if they did that
- 36:27Speaker 20: right now, they would be supportive of of making sure
- 36:32Speaker 20: that they fund all the other programs that need to
- 36:37Speaker 20: be funded because their sons and daughters are trying to
- 36:40Speaker 20: protect the nation.
- 36:41Speaker 2: Well, you know, and it's interesting, you know, on that subject,
- 36:45Speaker 2: this UN Human Rights Commission just came out and rebuked
- 36:49Speaker 2: the United States and Israel and have demanded an immediate
- 36:53Speaker 2: ceasefire to protect the children, Joel. Yet they were remarkably silent.
- 36:59Speaker 2: I went back and looked. Every time one of these children,
- 37:02Speaker 2: one of these university children was killed in a protest,
- 37:06Speaker 2: I didn't hear anything from this UN human rights watchdog group,
- 37:11Speaker 2: because last time I checked, university students are still someone's children.
- 37:17Speaker 2: Where were they to defend those children?
- 37:20Speaker 24: Yeah, and and HSI and and I tried, you know,
- 37:25Speaker 24: gathering up trying to find those five hundred thousand lost children.
- 37:29Speaker 24: They've already gathered children up in in Florida and in
- 37:34Speaker 24: Texas and in Louisiana and California.
- 37:38Speaker 20: Where where's there? Where's their claim about abortion the unborn?
- 37:45Speaker 2: Come on, where's the way you? You just did a
- 37:50Speaker 2: double point score on these poor folks their wait, they're
- 37:53Speaker 2: not children yet, choel. And of course then you start,
- 37:56Speaker 2: you open the can of worms on when a kid
- 37:58Speaker 2: becomes a kid, and oh it's a mess.
- 38:02Speaker 11: Hi.
- 38:02Speaker 9: It's Mark Falter, hosts of the Financial Fitness Show. I
- 38:05Speaker 9: strongly believe that no one should ever pay one penny
- 38:08Speaker 9: more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately, for
- 38:13Speaker 9: most hard working Americans, this just isn't the case. Why
- 38:17Speaker 9: because most people spend more time planning next weekends getaway
- 38:21Speaker 9: than trying to ensure they're going to pay less than taxes.
- 38:24Speaker 9: My Financial Fitness team has put together some materials that
- 38:27Speaker 9: I know are going to help you. It's the Tax
- 38:29Speaker 9: Savings Kit. Tax Savings Kit includes three things, free tax analysis,
- 38:35Speaker 9: top ten ways to pay less than taxes, and an

- 41:24Speaker 27: diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
- 41:27Speaker 27: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is

- 44:19Speaker 2: Is a wonderful musical premise ted not so much for
- 44:23Speaker 2: talk radio gets kind of awkward. It's like, hello, it's
- 44:27Speaker 2: just sing on four three four eight eight two four
- 44:31Speaker 2: two one seven. By the way, if you miss a minute,
- 44:34Speaker 2: sure Lord, no knows what you're gonna get, uh there,
- 44:37Speaker 2: So you got to have to subscribe to one of
- 44:40Speaker 2: the folks that distributes our podcasts for us. It's all
- 44:43Speaker 2: the biggies and some of the little ones as well, Spreaker, Deezer,
- 44:48Speaker 2: that kind of thing. But you can also Apple podcasts
- 44:53Speaker 2: I Heart. Ironically iHeart and Odyssey both fired me at
- 44:58Speaker 2: some point, but I guess since they don't have to
- 45:00Speaker 2: pay me for the podcast, they've spent all their money
- 45:02Speaker 2: on Joe Rogan. I wonder if we just mistakenly write
- 45:07Speaker 2: Joe Thomas instead of Joe Rogan. One of the big
- 45:10Speaker 2: checks this anthy I wonder how the ROI is on
- 45:13Speaker 2: that because they haven't done a lot of that since
- 45:16Speaker 2: they dropped big money into Joe Rogan's pocket. Ain't any event,
- 45:20Speaker 2: But but you can subscribe. They're the easiest way to
- 45:24Speaker 2: go do it is go to Joe Thomas in the
- 45:25Speaker 2: Morning dot com. There's a little menu that'll take it
- 45:28Speaker 2: any of our pages. Just subscribe, like please share. These
- 45:33Speaker 2: are all things that I'm told the algorithm likes. So
- 45:36Speaker 2: if you like the podcast, then it says, oh, those
- 45:39Speaker 2: people like it, and then it'll send it to more
- 45:42Speaker 2: people and they'll find out about what you and I
- 45:44Speaker 2: are doing here. So you and I are not the
- 45:46Speaker 2: metaphorical trees falling in the woods with no one there
- 45:50Speaker 2: to hear. Us Kareem writes in Joel, Yeah, Joel, I
- 45:53Speaker 2: know Joel's on Holmes. We ran into a break there.
- 45:56Speaker 2: But Joel Kareem writes in Joe, do you make on
- 46:00Speaker 2: air wagers? Maybe between listeners as well. I mean I
- 46:05Speaker 2: have had a long policy ever since I had to
- 46:07Speaker 2: spend six months delivering somebody else's penny savers? Anyone else
- 46:13Speaker 2: remember what a penny saver? Before Facebook? Marketplace used to
- 46:18Speaker 2: get these little flyers once a week, little newspaper ats
- 46:22Speaker 2: penny savers, mostly coupons and deals and stuff like that.
- 46:26Speaker 2: But your kids used to walk the neighborhoods and go
- 46:29Speaker 2: hang them on your doorknobs. And I had to do
- 46:32Speaker 2: that for six months because I bet on something. It
- 46:35Speaker 2: was like a sports game, and I lost, and I
- 46:40Speaker 2: made a promise to myself. Then it was a little
- 46:42Speaker 2: twelve year old Joe Thomas saying I'm never gonna do
- 46:45Speaker 2: that again. I'm never gonna bet on something that I'm
- 46:47Speaker 2: not personally involved in. You know, if you and I
- 46:51Speaker 2: are playing blackjack or poker or something that I have
- 46:55Speaker 2: some influence in. Maybe if I'm playing softball against you
- 46:59Speaker 2: or that kind of thing, something where my efforts are
- 47:03Speaker 2: going to have some play in it. I mean, I
- 47:05Speaker 2: never really understood the whole Pete Rose thing. He was
- 47:08Speaker 2: betting on his own team to win. Isn't that what
- 47:10Speaker 2: you want a manager of a team to do? But
- 47:14Speaker 2: Kareem says, nothing specific, just curious what was out there.
- 47:17Speaker 2: I don't know, Kareem. You can get your yah yahs
- 47:20Speaker 2: out pretty much anywhere now in the age of Draft
- 47:23Speaker 2: Kings and MGM sportsbook and every stand up comedian's got
- 47:29Speaker 2: a betting parlance? Was it Ham? The new fletch John Ham?
- 47:36Speaker 2: He's down there in these grottos, and is oh, make
- 47:39Speaker 2: your life epic, you know, bet all your money on
- 47:42Speaker 2: something and wind up in a basement speakeasy, okage, John,
- 47:46Speaker 2: That's making my life epic as well. But yeah, there's
- 47:50Speaker 2: there's always a I think I know better than you.
- 47:54Speaker 2: I imagine since you sent the text right after we
- 47:57Speaker 2: finished talking about the Texas run off between John Cornyn
- 48:01Speaker 2: and Ken Paxon, you might have been teetering on asking
- 48:04Speaker 2: me who you got I would prefer if I was,
- 48:09Speaker 2: if I was a political figure, I would endorse Ken
- 48:14Speaker 2: Paxton because I think John Cornyn has been part of
- 48:20Speaker 2: the problem. John Cornyn is almost indecipherable from Tim Kaine
- 48:27Speaker 2: in a lot of cases. I mean, we can go
- 48:30Speaker 2: the American Conservative Union scores all these guys. I mean,
- 48:36Speaker 2: John Cornyn is very much from the John McCain. You know,
- 48:40Speaker 2: government is an industry, and we will, you know, like
- 48:45Speaker 2: John Cornyn, so that the industrial government does the things
- 48:50Speaker 2: Republicans like in most cases, you know, with a line
- 48:53Speaker 2: drawn at things like, oh, I don't know, protecting unborn babies.
- 48:57Speaker 2: But well, we'll go out there and make the big
- 49:00Speaker 2: government operate for conservative thinking people. And then the left
- 49:06Speaker 2: for a long time was out there just doing the
- 49:09Speaker 2: same thing for left leaning people. Now it's become radicalized.
- 49:13Speaker 2: It's just you know, full off the beam stuff. Anyway, Joel,
- 49:19Speaker 2: you were talking about Tim Kin and the Caine hypocrisy
- 49:23Speaker 2: of protecting our young lads, our young boys and girls
- 49:28Speaker 2: from military service.
- 49:30Speaker 17: Every member of this body will do the most solemn
- 49:32Speaker 17: thing any of.
- 49:33Speaker 2: Us ever to vote for a pay raise vote on.
- 49:36Speaker 17: Whether the United States should be at war. That sounds
- 49:38Speaker 17: like an abstraction.
- 49:40Speaker 2: Only Tim Kaine can make going to war an abstraction.
- 49:45Speaker 17: Come on, Tim, vote on whether we want to send
- 49:48Speaker 17: our own kids, our own sons and daughters, the most
- 49:52Speaker 17: precious resource we have in this country into a war
- 49:56Speaker 17: that could end up like the wars we we have
- 50:00Speaker 17: just recently exited in the same region.
- 50:04Speaker 2: You mean the Afghanistan that you fully supported President Biden's
- 50:09Speaker 2: exit strategy from Afghanistan. And by exit strategy, I mean, Hey,
- 50:14Speaker 2: I'm leaving in an hour. Who's who wants a ride?
- 50:17Speaker 2: It's like dad on a Sunday morning. Hey, I'm leaving.
- 50:21Speaker 2: Any people want to ride to church with me? You
- 50:23Speaker 2: better be in the car in five minutes. That's how
- 50:26Speaker 2: Joe Biden left Afghanistan. Is that what you're talking about? Tim?
- 50:31Speaker 2: In case there's another In case there's another Democrat President
- 50:34Speaker 2: break Glass? And yes, should Congress have a say over
- 50:42Speaker 2: whether we do military stuff? Yeah? I think they should
- 50:46Speaker 2: because Tim Kane isn't wrong. And this is what makes
- 50:49Speaker 2: Tim Kane infuriating because he will pull a reasonable point,
- 50:55Speaker 2: which is why Congress was supposed to have oversight over
- 50:59Speaker 2: the use of our military, because it was their constituents' kids.
- 51:05Speaker 2: And their constituents who are going to be marching off
- 51:07Speaker 2: to these wars, so they needed to have a say.
- 51:13Speaker 2: It also put a check on the president, not just
- 51:15Speaker 2: surrounding Congress with armed soldiers and saying I'm in charge
- 51:19Speaker 2: now like they do in third world Middle America, Central
- 51:24Speaker 2: America backwash dictatorships. But that's not what's happening here. But
- 51:32Speaker 2: the laugh is this idea of well, let's do war
- 51:37Speaker 2: powers to protect our children. Just tell Joel we've got
- 51:40Speaker 2: the news coming up here. If he can hang on,
- 51:42Speaker 2: he can hang on there and we'll get to them
- 51:45Speaker 2: when we come back from the news. But they talk
- 51:51Speaker 2: about protecting the children, what about all those university children
- 51:58Speaker 2: that have been killed by the previous Iranian regime? Tim,
- 52:04Speaker 2: where were your speeches about protecting those children. I think
- 52:11Speaker 2: the UN Human Rights Organization is pooping itself over the
- 52:20Speaker 2: children and they want to cease fire immediately to protect
- 52:24Speaker 2: the children in Iran. Except for the university student children
- 52:31Speaker 2: that were getting gunned down in the street by the
- 52:34Speaker 2: Iranian regime or rounded up by the Iranian secret police,
- 52:39Speaker 2: never to be seen or heard from again. It's a
- 52:45Speaker 2: This is why I use the phrase multifaceted two faces
- 52:48Speaker 2: is just sometimes not enough.
- 52:51Speaker 28: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
- 52:55Speaker 28: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
- 52:57Speaker 2: It was medice that came through force, and there there's
- 53:00Speaker 2: no hassles, there was no problem.
- 53:02Speaker 28: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
- 53:05Speaker 28: of such an incredible ministry.
- 53:07Speaker 14: Metas Share is a Biblical approach to healthcare where Christians
- 53:11Speaker 14: share each other's medical expenses.
- 53:13Speaker 11: Medishare is a family, a group of people that stick
- 53:17Speaker 11: with you through the hardest times of your life.
- 53:20Speaker 14: Metashare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over thirty years
- 53:24Speaker 14: old and members have shared over eight billion dollars of
- 53:27Speaker 14: each other's medical bills.
- 53:28Speaker 4: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
- 53:31Speaker 13: You can focus on on supporting other people.
- 53:33Speaker 21: Meta Share is affordable.
- 53:35Speaker 14: Medishare is biblical.
- 53:36Speaker 10: Medishare is family.
