  Speaker 3: the face of talk radio. It's okay. I'm only here
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: for you. I don't get a list of things that
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: the corporation wants me to talk about or the political party.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: I have the things that I see within the news
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: in between the lines, that I think are important to you.

• 2:45
  Speaker 3: pick us up around the Gulf of America from Largo
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: all the way around to Beaumont and points in between,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: including New Orleans and such. But going down the east
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: side of the state. I was not planning on an
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: east side tour, and I forgot WTTB, and I shouldn't
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: have done that, because you guys were really one of
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: the first adopters of this program down Treasure Coastway. And
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: I keep thinking of somewhere, there's an astronaut with a
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: genie in a bottle somewhere around there. Four three four

  Speaker 3: eight eight two four two one seven. But I appreciate
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: the reminder, gentle, as it is a border crisis where
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: illegals escaped one country, where riots and burning vehicles left
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: them behind, and went into another country. Southern border of

• 4:19
  Speaker 3: of government settlement. Anthropics said its artificial intelligence models hacked

  Speaker 3: its AI engine hack hugging Face, which is also another

  Speaker 3: AI company. The United States and Iran fired missile barrages

• 5:01
  Speaker 3: and Iraq. Pakistani mediators, however, insist that negotiations between the
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: two states are ongoing. Perhaps that means by way of
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: missiles offers may be tough to read. After the explosion,
• 5:15

• 5:19

• 12:55
  Speaker 4: Radio It's on.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: We didn't make talk radio, we made it better. First
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network as.
• 13:24
  Speaker 14: Stop, you're on the air.
• 13:36
  Speaker 13: What's on your mind?
• 13:41
  Speaker 11: Healthcare?
• 13:43
  Speaker 10: Now?
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: You were letting us be of service to year four
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: three four eight A two four two one seven. So
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: about half hour ago we were breaking down the uh
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: what I call confirmation bypass, you know, the idea that well,
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: it's very much like scientism. Scientism is what Dwight Eisenhower
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: warned us about the military industrial but also the academic
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: and scientific cabals that were bubbling under even back at
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: the end of his administration.
• 14:24
  Speaker 13: And so.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: The scientism of COVID, for example, it was all hot
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: and bothered still about Tony Fauci's testimony, such that it
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: was the scientism of that was, we need to have
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: people believe that these shots work. So we need some
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: science that proves quote unquote that it's safe and effective.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Go get us the question that goes to our answer.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Polls have been doing this forever. It is first, let's
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: make a poll that says the Americans don't like the
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: war in Iran. So they find a way to make
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: that so it begins with the answer, and then you
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: come up with the question to get you there, and
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: then you do another poll that says, look, Americans really
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: don't like that, and it becomes this circular firing squad.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: You don't want to be out of step with the
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: rest of your community, so you stop and you say, well,
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: Joe isn't saying these things, but everyone else on the
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: station is Joe must be the one that's wrong, or
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: maybe Joe's just the one that sees things differently, and
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: that's fair. You can argue the fact. You can call
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: and say, Joe, why are we doing this? Joe? Are
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: we doing this just for money? Are we doing this
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: for oil? Are we doing this to screw the Republicans
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: and the mid I think wistfully back to that famous
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: picture of Donald Trump and Milania at their wedding having
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: a grand laugh with Bill and Hillary Clinton. I was
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: sent a graphic some years ago, I think it was
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: during the first Trump administration where somebody had superimposed a
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: speech bubble over Donald Trump's head because he's pointing at
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Bill Clinton, and the speech bubble contains the phrase, Milania,
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: you should hear what this sneaky bastard wants me to
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: do to the Republican Party. Think about it. Meanwhile, let's
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: see how gold and silver are doing. Our friend James
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: Lockforth generation helping people get into the gold and silver
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: markets at jcsgold dot com. Good morning, James, how are you, sir? Andrew?
• 16:57
  Speaker 18: Well Joe and gold and silver are a little sleepy
• 16:59
  Speaker 18: this morning, and gold is down about one and a
• 17:02
  Speaker 18: quarter percent, down forty nine dollars after having a strong
• 17:06
  Speaker 18: day yesterday, a little pullback today that four and fifty
• 17:09
  Speaker 18: four dollars and fifty cents. Silver. Similar story over there,
• 17:14
  Speaker 18: down one and three quarter percent, down almost one dollar
• 17:18
  Speaker 18: to fifty nine I mean sorry, fifty seven dollars in
• 17:21
  Speaker 18: ninety nine cents. Still hovering right there in kind of
• 17:24
  Speaker 18: the same spot we've been in the past couple of
• 17:27
  Speaker 18: weeks for silver. So we'll see where it goes from here.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Well, President announced that there's a deal on Hamas and disarming,
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: so that's good news. Plus cuba As is starting to
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: invoke free market reforms in their economy. Both stories that
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: at one point in our lives, I think, James, you're
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: much younger than I am, we can remember where either
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: one of those would be the lead news story, and
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: they're both buried on page four right now. So maybe
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: they'll have some impact on gold and silver today.
• 18:01
  Speaker 19: Yeah. Absolutely.
• 18:02
  Speaker 18: But you know, that's one of those things that we
• 18:04
  Speaker 18: always talk about, is these little discounts like this, this
• 18:08
  Speaker 18: little roller coaster of ups and downs. When you when
• 18:10
  Speaker 18: you get any of these down days, a lot of
• 18:13
  Speaker 18: our clients take advantage of it, you know, and pretty
• 18:15
  Speaker 18: aggressively as much as their budget can afford. You know,
• 18:18
  Speaker 18: they're they're ready and waiting, and they're watching our website
• 18:21
  Speaker 18: at jcs gol dot com. Because our prices for gold
• 18:25
  Speaker 18: and silver products, they're always update live with the market.
• 18:29
  Speaker 18: So if you get a little dip like this in
• 18:30
  Speaker 18: gold and silver, our prices reflect that in real time,
• 18:33
  Speaker 18: so you can take advantage of that right away.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Well, it's it is a gift to the community that
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: you can call somewhere for advice and not feel like
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: you're getting upsold, or somebody on the other end of
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: the phone has a quota or has to get to
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: their next call because they have so many they have
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: to take in an hour. All real things. I have
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: friends that work in the phone order business and they'll
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: I don't know, I you know, there are quotas to
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: how many calls you supposed to take in an hour,
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: and oh it's how long a phone call can be.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: It's it's crazy making when you think about it. How
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: do you give advice in that kind of circumstance. It's
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: like asking the drive through attendant at some fast food chain,
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: So what's good here? Can you drive up?
• 19:20
  Speaker 19: Sir?
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Just give me your order, because that's how too many things,
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: too many things have gotten in this country. And that's
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: why I think people trust jcsgold dot com. I do
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: uh And James, you have an awesome weekend, first weekend
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: of August. Do you have anything planned?
• 19:39
  Speaker 18: I appreciate that, Joe, No, no plan so far for
• 19:42
  Speaker 18: this weekend. I'm just going to take it easy with
• 19:44
  Speaker 18: the family here before school starts up in a couple
• 19:46
  Speaker 18: of weeks. Summer is quickly come to an end.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: It seems well. I know there are some schools that
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: are going back next week. It's crazy. It's a it's
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: you forget about vacations and stuff like that. But I
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: appreciate it. James, you have a great weekend, sir.
• 20:01
  Speaker 18: Thanks Joe, you too.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: So confirmation bypassed? I mean, bias is what this narrative
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: stuff is all about, the idea that we can move
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: public opinion with a poll. And why is this important?
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Why is it important? For the simple reason that we
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: have become overly reliant on democracy. We want to vote
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: for everything we feel like. You know, if there's somebody
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: who's running an airbnb from their house down the road,
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: I want to have a say in it. If somebody
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: has started a plumbing company out of their basement. I
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: want to have a say about it. Why why do
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: you want to have a say about it? Your your
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: neighbors making a couple of bucks on the side. Why
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: is it any of your business? Probably because you feel
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: like maybe you're jealous. It's funny because there's a list
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: of seven things we're supposed to avoid called vices.
• 21:31
  Speaker 15: Strength that she had none yet me about beachfore the
• 21:34
  Speaker 15: gun down yet?
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: So yes, yes about oh yes about oh yes about beach,
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: I got my gun a gun?

  Speaker 20: No yes, About.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Seventy four percent of Chicago residents believe that roxy reached
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: for the gun. Because that's how it works. And that's
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: why these pollsters. You know, if you see them, none
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: of them are driving old Ford pintos.

  Speaker 1: Today by Joe Thomas on the Chunk Media Network, All
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: natural and free of artificial intelligence.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: A couple of folks who watched the Afternoon Constitutional yesterday.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: Number one Kerry uh says Joe, how's the walking bin
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: so far? Your legs still doing okay? Well, I have
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: to say that my legs are doing okay. I try
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: to exercise each evening in our hanvas pond in our yard.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: But I'm not going to shoot a after doon constitutional
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: walking around the edge of my pool. But that being said,
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: where necessary, our friends at Mesa Verdi Hemp Farm have
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: been very beneficial to me, and I just do it
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: as a daily Seely told me, you know, listens down
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: there in four Corners. I know was listening on the stream.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: Did they ever get back to us at KVPC. I
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: know that there was an issue the other day with
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: us on KVFC not being there, which was shocking to
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: Sely but and me too. But if we're back there,
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: or if you're still hitting us up on the stream
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: off of our flag ship station, that's cool. But Ceely said,
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: you know, just a few drops every morning, and it's
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: a it's a prophylactic if you will there. So you know,
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: I appreciate those who are tuning in to watch the
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: Afternoon Constitutional, which we literally take literally. Now it used
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: to just be tongue in cheek, a cutey way of
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: branding a radio show that was, for the lack of
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: a better argument, just some folks sitting in a room talking,
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: not not as ear catching as now we're out there
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: actually walking through fields and dales and who knows where
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: We're going to try to find interesting places to walk
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: every every day. It's been the same locale the last
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: few but we'll find some new places. If you have suggestions,
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: places you want me to take a walk aside from
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: the short peer, I will be open to all suggestions. Huh, really,
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: nobody says that anymore take a long walk on a
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: short peer. Nobody. Well, I guess peers you know are
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: no longer the thing that they used to be. But
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: a couple of the emails on the Constitutional yesterday, because
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: we were talking about surveillance cameras, this company Flock is
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: controversial all across the country, mostly because they're the biggest
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: name in these security cameras. They're there, without question a quango,
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: quasi non government agency or an organization pardon me, because
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: they give their given taxpayer money to surveil and then
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: send information to the police. But by being a private
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: company they circumvent foya that kind of stuff. And those
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: are all things that can be dealt with municipally if
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: you had elected officials who had the intestical fortitude to
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: do that. But I want to answer some of the
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: emails that came. I mean, there was a bunch of them,
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: so I'm gonna not each by each because they were
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: all basically of the same theme. How can you defend
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: flock cameras? I wasn't defending flock cameras. I was just saying,
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: be careful of the narrative you're being dragged into. Substantially,
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: that is the theme of most of what we do here.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: Be careful of how you're being gaslit into thinking, do
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: the due diligence and say Okay. People say flock cameras bad.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: Why why are they saying it? Most of the voices
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: against these security cameras are saying it's because ICE is
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: using them to find non citizens who are here working
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: illegally for substandard wages in sub standard conditions, or, as
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: Jacob Frye, the mayor of Minneapolis said, they are our
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: boilers and are bus boys the shadow slave trade that
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: they're working in through the Biden porous border plan and
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: the Biden Dog and Pony Show smartphone app that found
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: a loophole in the code. Then conservatives legitimately are being
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: told that it's a privacy issue. There's more to it.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Than that.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: But most of the conservatives that I know that are
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: against flock cameras see them as being operated by liberal
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: city councils in big cities like I don't want to
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: be targeted. Gee, I can't imagine why faster than you
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: can say Merit Garland. Can you wonder if a conservative
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: group is going to be targeted for its political beliefs.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: Antifa can hold no Kings protests wherever they want, whenever
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: they want. They can walk out across Interstate ninety five
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: and block traffic at their own peril, and then sue
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: people when they get hit by cars and trucks because
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: they walked out onto an interstate to protest. But if
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: a TEA party group or some you know, Americans for
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: Tax Reform has a rally, never mind. If you have
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: a rally, say on January sixth, they'll ping cell phone
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: data and everything else. There were no flock cameras really involved.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: It was about pinging your cell phone data and arresting
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: you for simply being in Washington, d C. On January
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: sixth of twenty twenty one. Can't imagine and why conservatives
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: don't like surveillance cameras. But as I've said, there's a
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: common thread that runs through this program. Don't blame the
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: inanimate object. And I'm sorry if I'm not going to
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: blame the firearm for firearm violence or violence that uses
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: a firearm, or accurately put, I'm not going to blame
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: a flock camera because somebody used it to target a
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: conservative group and round them up for detention. It's not
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: the camera's fault that these bad actors use these things
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: for ill Cameras have existed since what the thirties, no,
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: since the Civil War eighteen hundreds. That's why we have
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: all those photographs of Lincoln and the soldiers at Antietam
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: and Travillion Station, first manassas. That cameras are here. You're
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: not going to get rid of cameras. Artificial intelligence, which
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: is the new thing that they claim, is the reason
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: they don't like security cameras because artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: isn't going anywhere either. But are they any different outside
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: of the scale of what they do than a cop
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: walking a beat? The anarchists will say, a cop stopping
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: to say, so, what are you doing here? Is a
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: violation of some civil right that you've imagined that a
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: police officer can't say how you doing, Joe, what are
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: you doing today? Because they want anarchy. They want anarchy
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: so that Poles can be taken the ap Nork Pole
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: says Americans wanted to dispose of the Bill of Rights
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: in the US Constitution because the left has been using
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: them too much to create riots and they just want
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: order returned. Why, I'll bet you a dollar to a
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: fashnacht that in Moscow in nineteen ninety nine, Poles were
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: saying that the average Russian wanted order returned to the
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: streets of Moscow and Saint Petersburg, and that they wanted
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: somebody who could help restore order to their society, even
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: if it meant more restrictions on the things that they
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: had come to enjoy after the fall of the Soviet Union.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: And you know who ran for president right after that,
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: Vladimir Putin. And like I say about democracies, it only
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: takes that one last election.
• 38:02

  Speaker 8: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our

  Speaker 8: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any

  Speaker 8: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 39:32
  Speaker 8: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,

  Speaker 16: Hid Jack Hannah and It's always a boy. Growing up
• 41:02
  Speaker 16: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 41:05
  Speaker 16: I'm not only in all of their beauty and kindness,
• 41:07
  Speaker 16: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 41:09
  Speaker 16: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
• 41:13
  Speaker 16: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
• 41:15
  Speaker 16: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
• 41:18
  Speaker 16: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
• 41:21
  Speaker 16: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
• 41:23
  Speaker 16: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 41:26
  Speaker 16: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 41:30
  Speaker 16: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 41:33
  Speaker 16: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
• 41:36
  Speaker 16: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
• 41:38
  Speaker 16: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
• 41:42
  Speaker 16: a change in.
• 41:42

• 41:43
  Speaker 16: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that

  Speaker 16: contribute to society and help those in need. So please

  Speaker 3: Oh yeah yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 42:05
  Speaker 20: And now a speech.
• 42:07
  Speaker 15: I just want to say that friendship is about heart
• 42:11
  Speaker 15: art and brain.
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: Who's with me?
• 42:13
  Speaker 18: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
• 42:16
  Speaker 18: brain is saying when it's time to go home.
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: Somebody call me a ride.
• 42:20
  Speaker 22: Love that guy, me too.
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.

• 42:32
  Speaker 9: costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
• 42:36
  Speaker 9: good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
• 42:40
  Speaker 9: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 42:43
  Speaker 9: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 42:46

  Speaker 9: That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
• 42:53
  Speaker 9: leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
• 42:56
  Speaker 9: improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
• 43:00
  Speaker 9: when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
• 43:03
  Speaker 9: energy Star logo and read the energy guide label. And
• 43:07
  Speaker 9: there are day to day things you can do. Lower
• 43:09
  Speaker 9: your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,
• 43:12
  Speaker 9: close fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep

  Speaker 25: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 43:33
  Speaker 25: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 43:36
  Speaker 25: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 43:41
  Speaker 25: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.

  Speaker 1: From the home of the First Amendment, first thing today.
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: this morning. A couple of text messages and emails, and
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: Joe is on the phone with us from Crose, A, Virginia.
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: So a wonderful, beautiful area right at the base of
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: the Blue Ridge Mountains. But first to this text message,
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: Kareem writes in is there a private company you would
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: trust to monitor a nationwide network of surveillance? And my
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: answer no, not if they're not able to be held
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: to account the same way a government is supposed to be.
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: And that's the trouble with these quangos. It's not enough
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: to be an NGO. Now, through grants and allocations of
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: budget lines, you have non government agencies that operate as
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: government agencies, literally on the model of having your cake
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: and eating it too, in front of you while telling
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: you how delicious your cake is that you're not having.
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: So these quangos like Flock take taxpayer money, do the
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: police work, and then if you try to find out
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: what they did with the data, they say, oh, we're
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: a private company, we're not subject to FOYA. And that's
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: the problem. But it's not the inanimate object. It's the
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: human beings that involve themselves with it. It's our immorality.
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: If we hadn't raised what two generations, three generations without
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: even understanding what the Ten Commandments say, never exposed to
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: them outside of Sunday and oh, mom's making me dress
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: up and go to church again. Yeah yeah, yeah, never
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: seeing them in a public square like on a courthouse
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: or a church. Mommy, what does it mean to not
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: bear false witness against thy neighbor? Mommy? What does it
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: mean to not want to not covet or not steal?
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: Those conversations never had. So we have a generation who's
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: raised with just win baby. So you have these people
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: writing the code inside artificial intelligence that says, solve the
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: problem given to you through any means necessary, and then
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: when they hack into other people's computers to do it,
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: they are, oh, it must be the AI is out
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: of control. No, people who coded the AI are out
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: of control. They've lost their own ability to self control,
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: because that's what they believe. Freedom is. Freedom means lack
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: of self control, indulgence. It doesn't, but we can get
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: into that. But Joe, thank you for hanging on the line.
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: You you wanted to know about the third part of
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: the lies damn lies and statistics. Stool there. What was
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: the book you were asking me about?
• 47:29
  Speaker 19: Out of Lie with Statistics by Darryl huf.
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's a great book. I think it's the it's
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: the it's like the Kama Sutra for politics politicians.
• 47:39
  Speaker 19: Well, no, and I was required reading an American history.
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: Class in college, so good in college.
• 47:48
  Speaker 19: Yeah, it was probably the best book I read in
• 47:52
  Speaker 19: four years of college. But anyway, I hope you have
• 47:55
  Speaker 19: your value closed. Sounds like you're getting a little excited here.
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: Well, it's just, you know, it's from frustrating because what
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: happens is you guys get twenty hours of being gas
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: lit into thinking that a camera on a post is
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: a danger to your liberty, when really the danger to
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: your liberty are the politicians that put them there and
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: the politicians that write the laws that govern what they're
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: looking for. And you mentioned how to lie with statistics.
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: These folks are playing the ultimate game of bait and switch.
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: Don't be mad at me, be mad at the surveillance
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: camera in the tree. Hey, who put it there? Well,
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: that's a different question, and that was a we want
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: to have justice, and we've lost our ability, Joe. I
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: feel like you tell me if I'm wrong. We've lost
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: our faith in the judicial system, both Conservatives and Democrats.
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: It's a bipartisan issue. Neither side has any faith in
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: the in the laws of this land anymore.
• 49:05
  Speaker 19: I think that's true. But you know, it's one of
• 49:08
  Speaker 19: those things where you know we've lost common sense.
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: It's true. I mean, you're you're not lying, I mean,
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: it's it is. We've been convinced that common sense isn't enough.
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: We've been convinced that if you don't have three postgraduate degrees,
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: you're not qualified to make a decision. And I find
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: that to be patently offensive and treasonously Unamerican.
• 49:39
  Speaker 19: I agree with that.
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: Well, that's why we like you, Joe, because you tell
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: me how great I am. Yeah, the blessings are your
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: phone calls, Joe, I appreciate it's there. Four three four
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: eight eight two four two one seven is if we
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: have to spend each morning blowing up the narrative, that's fine.
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: But we have a population of people who are trying
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: to blame inanimate objects for their behavior. And yes, AI included.
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: Somebody wrote anthropics code. Remember the story The first or
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: second iteration of Claude was so flawed pun intended that
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: it rebranded itself as a crab and renamed itself Claude
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: spelled c caw apostrophe d and started just hacking into everything.
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: Why because it's code writers. When when writing the code
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: that makes these AI engines work, you know said thing
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: tell it things like you solve the question regardless of anything.
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: And I don't write code, so I don't know how
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: the ones and zeros would all work.
• 51:14
  Speaker 13: But the.
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: Imprint of the imperfect humans, the perhaps less perfect humans
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: than we've ever created. When confronted with a problem that
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: you can't find an answer to it's permissible to go
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: break into other computer systems to see if they can
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: help you find the problem. If you need more help,
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: go kidnap someone and make them help you. This ostensibly
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: what one AI breaking into another AI to solve a
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: problem is doing. It's kidnapping a bank president to help
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: them figure out what the combination to the safe is.
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: And it could be an innocuous problem. We figure out
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: the best way to make small nuclear reactors affordable, and
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: search and search and search, and it's going through all
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: the stuff and finally it I have nothing else. Maybe
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: this hugging face guy will help me. So they go
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: and they grab Hugging Faces resources. I need more search power.
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: Perhaps when your limitations on your search power. It was
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: the humans who told them this was okay. We just
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: had the case of the parent that bought the gun
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: for the kid that wound up shooting a bunch of
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: his student classmates. The people who wrote these AI codes
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: that are out there hacking and cracking are just as
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: guilty of teaching their kids badly.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: My name is Bobby.
• 52:52
  Speaker 22: I'm a veteran and lost my leg to a roadside bomb.
• 52:55
  Speaker 14: My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a
• 52:58
  Speaker 14: weightlifting champion.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: I'm Sam, I'm a veteran.
• 53:02

• 53:06
  Speaker 5: America's veterans are on their most important tour, the tour
• 53:09

  Speaker 5: At DAV, we're on a mission to help veterans get

  Speaker 5: DAV offers veterans of all generations a lifetime of support

  Speaker 3: My victory was getting my service dog and new best friend.
• 53:36
  Speaker 5: We help more than a million veterans every year as
• 53:38
  Speaker 5: they face and conquer their challenges.
• 53:41
  Speaker 15: My victory is being able to be there for my family.
