  Speaker 1: Absolute quit making mornings great again. First thing today on
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Juart said, steal me stem.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: You have a day.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Least for work, when the sun comes up.
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: Drops a kid to scoop the night the way Joey is.
• 0:19
  Speaker 5: Everything a Jinda, all the Joses, seven mets, the one
• 0:25
  Speaker 5: that Joe's as smile, he all the eggs.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Joe, thank you for letting me be of service to
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: you this morning.
• 0:35
  Speaker 6: I want to be Joe.
• 0:37
  Speaker 7: We do it every morning here on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:40
  Speaker 7: Four three four eight eight two four two one seven.
• 0:45
  Speaker 7: After I tell you what went on, I'll tell you
• 0:47
  Speaker 7: what I see in between the lines, and most importantly,
• 0:50
  Speaker 7: I want to hear how it's impacting you where you
• 0:54
  Speaker 7: are at four three four eight eight two four two
• 0:57
  Speaker 7: one seven, which works both for telephone calls and text messages.
• 1:03
  Speaker 7: Bob in Oregon listening to Freedom nine seventy there, I'm
• 1:14
  Speaker 7: not sure I understand the song, request Bob, and he
• 1:18
  Speaker 7: sends me Frederick Douglas quote, A smile or a tear
• 1:23
  Speaker 7: has not nationality. Joy and sorrow speak alike to all nations,
• 1:28
  Speaker 7: and they above all the confusion of tongues, proclaim the
• 1:34
  Speaker 7: Brotherhood of Man. It's true there are things that bring
• 1:40
  Speaker 7: joy that are transcendent. Well said well Frederick Douglas. But well,
• 1:46
  Speaker 7: well found Bob. And I appreciate the meme there, and
• 1:51
  Speaker 7: I'll work on the song request. You know, years ago
• 1:54
  Speaker 7: that was my pigeon was I was missed a request, man,
• 1:57
  Speaker 7: So it is not something that's unfamiliar territory to me
• 2:02
  Speaker 7: on this morning. So much to get into court rulings, quittings,
• 2:09
  Speaker 7: and I'm trying to find Mark Stein. I used to
• 2:12
  Speaker 7: be able to contact Mark Stein. Mark was famous, the
• 2:16
  Speaker 7: British fellow who writes brilliant columns. But I used to
• 2:21
  Speaker 7: fill in for Rush frequently and wound up running a
• 2:24
  Speaker 7: foul of Michael Mann in court. Michael Mann, the climate
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: fraudster who cooked the books so Al Gore could write
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: and produce an Inconvenient Truth movie. So and I say
• 2:41
  Speaker 7: this because Michael Mann has been hoisted on his own
• 2:45
  Speaker 7: petard as somewhat of a reminder to us all that
• 2:50
  Speaker 7: nature has. The universe has a ledger, and it's keeping score.
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: And if you're down three runs in the seventh inning,
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: you know somebody may come up and hit one out.
• 3:07
  Speaker 7: And just because it looks like you won at one point,
• 3:10
  Speaker 7: doesn't mean you stay winning all the time. And we'll
• 3:17
  Speaker 7: get into that and court rulings on Portland and whether
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: the National Guard can be used out there, and how
• 3:24
  Speaker 7: the deportation machine has been going after nine months. All
• 3:28
  Speaker 7: of it on the docket for us this morning as
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: we convene our hearings and our listenings. With our first
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: things this morning, federal prosecutors are going to try to
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: seek the removal of James Comey's lead defense attorney, citing
• 3:48
  Speaker 7: his possible role in the disclosures Comy made in twenty seventeen.
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: His defense attorney as Patrick Fitzgerald, and the conflict of
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: interest is notable because he may have played a role
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: in the leaks from the FBI. The Department of Homeland
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: Security had a press event and that Christinome headlined and
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: gave an update on the first nine months.
• 4:25
  Speaker 8: Since January, the Department of Homeland Security has arrested over
• 4:29
  Speaker 8: four hundred and eighty thousand criminal illegal aliens. Seventy percent
• 4:34
  Speaker 8: of those individuals have criminal charges against them or have
• 4:38
  Speaker 8: been convicted of those criminal charges.
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: Israeli fire killed three people near a ceasefire line in
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: Gaza after Israeli troops say a Palestinian attack killed two
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: of their soldiers. They promised that the aid will begin
• 4:56
  Speaker 7: flowing back into Gaza today. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Karney
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: declared last month that Canada would stand behind a Palestinian
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: state over Israel. Told an interviewing that he would enforce
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: and honor the International Criminal Court arrest warrant for Israeli
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: Prime Minister Benjamin net and Yahoo if he should visit Canada.
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: The Trump administration is considering how it can pay air
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: traffic controllers as the government shutdown continues. Five hundred million
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: dollars a month the air traffic controllers cost that worldwide
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: disruption of Amazon Web services yesterday that even impacted this
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: program slightly could carry a staggering financial toll reaching into
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: the hundreds of billions of dollars. It's the second such
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: breach in as many weeks. According to experts. The outage
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: crippled vast swaths of the Internet, holding operations for major
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: companies and online retail all part of Amazon's cloud infrastructure.
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Monday will allow
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: the Trump administration to deploy National Guards troops to Portland
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: and staunch conservative Sunai Takaichi was elected Japan's first female
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: prime minister by their parliament on Tuesday. And those are
• 6:25

  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 curcumin 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 12: Hi everybody, I'm Jack Hannah and it's always a boy.
• 10:01
  Speaker 12: Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
• 10:03
  Speaker 12: with animals. I'm not only in all of their beauty
• 10:05
  Speaker 12: and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
• 10:08
  Speaker 12: at the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or
• 10:11
  Speaker 12: Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
• 10:14

• 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. Dogs keep
• 10:35
  Speaker 12: us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of
• 10:37
  Speaker 12: whom suffer from PTS.
• 10:39
  Speaker 13: They work with.

  Speaker 12: Diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in their blood chemistry.

  Speaker 1: On a need to know basis, because you need to
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: know the first thing today.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Making up dead of the old hard way, fudging the
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: numbersday by day, ignoring the snow and the cold, and
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: a down word, how the decline.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: This is how al Gore became Al Gore.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Michael Man thinks he's so smart, totally inventing the hack
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: he stick charged.
• 13:47
  Speaker 16: Ignoring the snow and the cold and downward Hi the decline, which.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Is actually Michael Mann's for.
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: Is so they left out lots of data when they
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: created climate Gate. Any of you science fiction fans or
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: Star Trek fans or anything of that nature, There was
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: a movie I think.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Was Search for Spock was the Star Trek epic in.
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: Which they go back to planet Genesis and they discovered
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: that Kirk's son had used phony science.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: And what do they call it? Pro he used some
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: fake ingredient in building this.
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: Program that could create life from lifelessness, and everything was
• 14:41
  Speaker 7: coming apart and everything was destroyed, and I just had
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: to chuckle as I you know, the Michael Mann's story
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: of the hockey stick chart and the Inconvenient Truth movie
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: and all really the cornerstones of climate Gate, everything all
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: the way through and including the DNA molecules to create
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: Greta Thunberg. I think all based on phony, baloney, plastic
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: banana science, so it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: And the schadenfreud is always something that I feel like
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: is a weakness of mine.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: I enjoy.
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: I enjoy sharing with you stories where it becomes clear
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: that the universe has at very least a sense of humor,
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: if not an actual ledger keeping track of things. So
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: somewhere in the midst of the whole climate Gate thing
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: talk show host and commentator and author Mark Stein, who
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: I find to be fun to listen to. But then again,
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: I like British comedy, so you have to have that taste.
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: A lot of people love his writing even more than
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: his radio But mark Stein got into a lot of
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: trouble and whenever I take michael Mann out behind the
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: climate Gate woodshed, I'll inevitably get at least one email
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: from somebody to be careful. Joe michael Mann won a
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: ruling against talk radio and conservatives, and what he won
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: was a ruling. You know, mark Stein, I love him dearly.
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: He went too far, I believe, comparing Michael Mann to
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: Jerry Sandusky. Jerry Sandusky also a Penn State University employee
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: at the time. Michael Mann was working there in State
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: college as well. Jerry Sandusky is the man who brought
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: down Joe Paterno and the whole Penn State University football
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: program because he was running a summer camp for underprivileged
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: kids and let's just say, he was having some privileges
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: of his own with him and he was molesting and
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: it was an ugly scene. But mark Stein drew comparisons
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: between Michael Mann and Jerry Sandusky. And that's what Michael
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: Man be mark Stein in court with just pointing out
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: the fact that he's a con man and a grifter
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: that's out there on the government dole committing fraud against taxpayers.
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: I can say that until I'm blue in the face
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: and have and he couldn't care less because he knows
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: it's true. So Michael Mann, after the assassination of Charlie Kirk,
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: referred to him as the head of Trump's Hitler youth.
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: I know you're sitting here saying, so what we get
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: called Hitler, We get called Nazis all the time now.
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: I mean, it's almost becoming so commonplace that it doesn't
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: have the impact that you would think being called the
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: head of Trump's Hitler youth would have. But Michael Mann,
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: having moved on to the University of Pennsylvania, they fired
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: him or they've convinced him to resign as Vice Provost
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: for Climate Science at the University of Pennsylvania over his comments.
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: Man wrote, here was the comment that got him. This
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: is his announcement at this time. I don't feel I
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: can forsake the public scholarship and advocacy that I'm doing,
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: and have thus decided to step down as the VPC role.
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: I was simply agreeing with the widespread criticism of Ezra
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: Clemes claim that Kirk was practicing politics the right way.
• 18:38
  Speaker 7: He added, I do not approve of the inappropriate and
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: inflammatory language used to describe Kirk, which I had overlooked
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: and have deleted. So his response is basically, I resigned
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: because they want me to. But all I was doing
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: was repeating what everyone else was saying. And I'm telling
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: you so, if you want a pre eminent scientist, if
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: you're interviewing for a pre eminent scientist that's going to
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: lead the charge and create an entire trillion dollar industry,
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: that's the kind of diligence that you want in a scientist,
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: don't you. I mean, that's the scrutiny you expect raising
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: to the standard of the University of Pennsylvania and Ivy
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: League school. No, it's not Penn State. Penn State is
• 19:29
  Speaker 7: not Ivy League. That's Big ten, a different thing. Penn
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: State and the University of Pennsylvania always getting confused.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: With one another.
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: One is an Ivy League school and the other one
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: is an aggregate is actually a land Grand school in
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: State College. But if you're going to be the head,
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: you would be the vice provost of an entire department
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: dedicated to a science that basically you invented. And this
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: goes back to my point about al Gore and the
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: Inconvenient film and all the things that had happened in
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: the name of global warming and climate change.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: And it didn't start there.
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: I mean, this is Enron stuff, this is ken Lay,
• 20:20
  Speaker 7: this is Jerry Brown, And if you want a primer,
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: I don't have time to go into it all here,
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: but I will.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Suggest four books for you to pick up.
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: They are The Politically Incorrect Guide to global Warming, power Grab,
• 20:35
  Speaker 7: and what's Wonder's fourth book? While there's the Liberal War
• 20:43
  Speaker 7: on Transparency, there's a power Gram and power Gram politically
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: Incorrect Guide to global Warming. And I will come up
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: with the other one that or he will take me
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: shortly and and say here's here's the other book you're forgetting, Joe,
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: And it'll be one of those head slappers too. I'll
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: be like, oh, I can't believe I forgot that one.
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: But Chris Horner's books Christopher C. Horner on Amazon. If
• 21:17
  Speaker 7: Amazon is back up and running again today, that's twice,
• 21:21
  Speaker 7: by the way, in two weeks Amazon has gone down,
• 21:26
  Speaker 7: taking half of the Internet with it. But go read
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: up on, you know, on this climate change stuff. But
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: Michael Mann is the lord high mugwamp of this. And
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: if this is the kind of scrutiny that he puts
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: into his science, it all starts to make sense, you know,
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: hide the decline, retweet stuff about being Nazis. It's it's
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: all kind of formatic when you look at it, and
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: The universe has Ay Brandt and her name is Shary.
• 22:03
  Speaker 9: I love.
• 22:04
  Speaker 18: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
• 22:06
  Speaker 18: for because of a surgery. She just went through.
• 22:09
  Speaker 19: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
• 22:11
  Speaker 19: talk about all the time, which is meta share.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: That is right.
• 22:14
  Speaker 18: Yeah, So what was your experience like with meta share
• 22:17
  Speaker 18: and healthcare ability?
• 22:18
  Speaker 19: Honestly, Brandt seamless and what a blessing that is when
• 22:21
  Speaker 19: you're already nervous about a health issue which I was.
• 22:24
  Speaker 19: Members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
• 22:27
  Speaker 19: me tell you, having people pray with you when you
• 22:30
  Speaker 19: call in with your need that is.
• 22:32
  Speaker 18: Just yes, refreshing.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's what it is.
• 22:34
  Speaker 18: What I keep telling people. People love meta share and
• 22:38
  Speaker 18: they love saving money. The typical family can save five
• 22:41
  Speaker 18: hundred dollars a month.
• 22:42
  Speaker 19: I am very thankful for meta share. It is so different,
• 22:46
  Speaker 19: and I mean different in a very very good way.
• 22:48
  Speaker 18: It is good different call now, they're easy to talk
• 22:51
  Speaker 18: to and you can get a price within two minutes.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Call eight five five share forty.
• 22:55
  Speaker 18: That's eight five five s h a r E forty

  Speaker 18: eight five five share.

• 23:06
  Speaker 15: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
• 23:11
  Speaker 15: better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
• 23:15
  Speaker 15: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports
• 23:20
  Speaker 15: veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
• 23:25
  Speaker 15: personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
• 23:30
  Speaker 15: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Can focus more on patients.
• 23:36
  Speaker 15: But, as with any new technology, always keep a human
• 23:40
  Speaker 15: in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare. AI
• 23:45
  Speaker 15: is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for your
• 23:48

  Speaker 10: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. HI
• 24:12
  Speaker 10: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 24:18
  Speaker 10: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 24:22
  Speaker 10: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 24:26
  Speaker 10: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 24:31
  Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 24:36
  Speaker 10: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 24:41
  Speaker 10: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 24:45
  Speaker 10: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

  Speaker 2: and over. It again Red Hot Lies, and I can't
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: believe I.
• 28:41
  Speaker 15: Mean it is.
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: It's one of the I love the smell of face
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: palm in the morning. Red Hot Lies was the book.
• 28:47
  Speaker 7: I couldn't remember the name, and really I guess the
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: seminal one because it gets into the hole.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: How they use fear and loathing to.
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: Promote this, because it feeds into this there's somebody screwing you.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Place in all of our feelings.
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: We always feel like there's some somebody out there screwing
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: us over, like when Amazon Web Service is going. Do
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: we have the clip of the program and you know,
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: and I like the fact that our Mumford tea firefly
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: suck it from the sky down link Antennai to the
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: Talk media network was unaffected by this, and really only
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: two bits of this world of the Joe Thomas Morning
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: universe were impacted by it. I use a VPN piece
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: of software to access our flagship stations studios and apparently
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: T Mobile, my phone carrier, because we were in the
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: midst of talking with Congressman John maguire yesterday, right as
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: on web Services went PIFT and I think it was
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: last Tuesday, maybe it was Wednesday of last week. Amazon
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: Web Services went pift again, doing more serious damage to
• 30:14
  Speaker 7: our infrastructure. At that point, T Mobile didn't go down,
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: and thank goodness for that, because all the Internet services
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: that I use at our studios went down, and so
• 30:26
  Speaker 7: we had to use the T Mobile uplink to the
• 30:29
  Speaker 7: down link antenna.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: To get the program into your radios.
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: But man, you know when you talk about wound into
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: a web, and really the name Amazon Web Services just
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: pictures of a giant spider with Jeff Bezos's face.
• 30:47
  Speaker 14: On it.
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: Or maybe his ex wife's, I'm not sure somebody's faces.
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: They're weaving this web, and you realize how many things
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: are wound into it. So the outage that hit us
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: yesterday and hung up on John McGuire, Congressman in the
• 31:06
  Speaker 7: midst of our interview, crippled major portions of the Internet.
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: I'm hearing percentages up to forty percent, And aside from
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: just saying hey, yes, it happened, this is an indication
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: again of what happens when things become overly centralized, they
• 31:28
  Speaker 7: become overly fragile. It was very controversial when Dwight Eisenhower
• 31:36
  Speaker 7: wanted to build the Interstate System when he became president,
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: and it was based on what he was able to
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: do to the Nazis, the actual Nazis, not Michael Mann's Nazis.
• 31:51
  Speaker 7: The Germans were crippled with a couple of good bombing
• 31:54
  Speaker 7: strikes and some bridges, specially railway bridges, were able to
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: take out their ability to combat the war. To get
• 32:03
  Speaker 7: supplies to the troops, it was very easy. And Eisenhower said,
• 32:08
  Speaker 7: we would be too easily cut off ourselves major cities
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: and only having you know, maybe one access point get
• 32:16
  Speaker 7: around that kind of thing. And he wanted a system
• 32:19
  Speaker 7: that in times of crisis he'd be able to move
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: large amounts of military equipment around the country, yes, around
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: the country, inside the country, even kids for all you
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: posse commentatis.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Devotees.
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: So he wanted Congress and they appropriated the money and
• 32:40
  Speaker 7: now we have the Interstate System and the Teamsters they
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: came along with it.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: It's almost like it was a package. As we dug
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: up the the and started.
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: Grading all these you know, teamster unionized truckers showed up
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: and saying.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're going to take over.
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: He and the railways were upset because the railways were
• 33:02
  Speaker 7: the most dominant way of shipping and they still are,
• 33:06
  Speaker 7: but it was because they had to come up with
• 33:08
  Speaker 7: new ways to operate. But you centralize something, whether it
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: be the electric grid, which I'm watching us do more
• 33:16
  Speaker 7: and more and more here in the mid Atlantic, it's PJM.
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: It's like Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, and we're all
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: tied together. And if you take out one, you take
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: out it's nodes, which a lot of folks tell me,
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: oh yeah, But this is decentralizing. So if the EMP
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: goes off, if Kim Jong un fires off his woodstock
• 33:44
  Speaker 7: two missile and it manages to get an EMP to
• 33:48
  Speaker 7: detonate over the United States, you know, only small bits,
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: and we'd be able to redundant features.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: And I'm told.
• 33:56
  Speaker 7: I'm not sure I sleep well at night because of that.
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: The drinking might have something to do with it. But
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: I do sleep well at night, at least thinking that
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: somebody is in the mindset that I am, which is
• 34:09
  Speaker 7: centralizing things, is horrifically bad for economies, for politics, for
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: representative government, outside of politics, retail, broadcast, whatever it may be.
• 34:26
  Speaker 7: The more centralized you become, the less adept you are
• 34:30
  Speaker 7: at dealing with the individual, and the individual gets smaller
• 34:34
  Speaker 7: and smaller and smaller, and they become Pray for these
• 34:41
  Speaker 7: Robespierian manipulators who come to them and say, you feel
• 34:46
  Speaker 7: ignored by your congressman or your morning show host or
• 34:50
  Speaker 7: whoever it is. You feel like it is ignoring you,
• 34:52
  Speaker 7: don't you The answer is, of course yes. You're in
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: a congressional district with seven hundred fifty thousand other people.
• 35:03
  Speaker 7: How's that one congressman supposed to even partially, even constitutionally
• 35:09
  Speaker 7: deal with you representatively? And remember, the first proposed amendment
• 35:16
  Speaker 7: in the Bill of Rights would have specifically and mathematically
• 35:24
  Speaker 7: restricted the size of congressional representative districts. That's what the
• 35:31
  Speaker 7: founding fathers thought was the most important thing to protect
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: in protecting your liberty.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: But I digress.
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: Amazon web Services controlling this much of the Internet, and
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: we were talking about PayPal, Venmo, a couple of other
• 35:48
  Speaker 7: you know, payment processing sites, banking, all this stuff, you know,
• 35:55
  Speaker 7: because it's easy Amazon Web Services to plug in and
• 35:58
  Speaker 7: you know, we'll help you do the voodoo you do.
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: And there are other ones, but it just becomes it's Amazon.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: It's everywhere. If they can handle selling trillions.
• 36:11
  Speaker 7: Of dollars with the books and groceries now at Whole
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: Foods and newspaper delivery and all of this other stuff,
• 36:18
  Speaker 7: why not give them more power? And I don't know
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: if it was a DS. It's a direct denial of service.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: Attack.
• 36:31
  Speaker 7: It's the second one in two weeks, which I think
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: is notable. But I also think about the governor of
• 36:43
  Speaker 7: Utah who told us after the assassination of Charlie Kirk
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: to go out and grab a handful of grass.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: We used to have a page years ago.
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: And when I say years ago, i'm talking about early
• 36:56
  Speaker 7: two thousands, like two thousand and five, two thousand and
• 36:59
  Speaker 7: six had a website up and there was a page
• 37:03
  Speaker 7: on the website that said it was a brick wall
• 37:07
  Speaker 7: and says, congratulations, you've reached the end of the Internet.
• 37:11
  Speaker 7: Now go outside and sit in the grass.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: It was just it was for fun.
• 37:17
  Speaker 7: It was just a cutesy little thing to say, Hey,
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: go outside and shut the computer off for a while.
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: Now coming up in a moment, just so you stick around,
• 37:31
  Speaker 7: I know you're going to anyway, we're going to do
• 37:33
  Speaker 7: our very first drawing for tickets to go see the
• 37:38

• 38:13
  Speaker 24: for most hard working Americans, this just isn't the case.
• 38:16
  Speaker 24: Why because most people spend more time planning next weekends
• 38:20
  Speaker 24: getaway than trying to ensure they're going to pay less
• 38:23
  Speaker 24: than taxes. My Financial Fitness team has put together some

• 41:03
  Speaker 27: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type two diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 27: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 27: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 27: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.

• 41:24
  Speaker 27: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 27: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 27: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop

  Speaker 1: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Chunk Media Network.
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: So it is nigh less than a month away.
• 44:25
  Speaker 7: As a matter of fact, Thursday morning, Jeff Plate, one
• 44:29
  Speaker 7: of the founding members of the Trans Siberian Orchestra, their
• 44:32
  Speaker 7: drummer from the get go, is going to join us.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: Of course, that's the great al.
• 44:38
  Speaker 7: Patrelli proving that the electric guitar is a real instrument
• 44:45
  Speaker 7: as well.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: It goes to eleven. It does.
• 44:54
  Speaker 7: But they begin their tour I think on October thirteenth,
• 44:59
  Speaker 7: the first place they coincide with this program. It's going
• 45:03
  Speaker 7: to be on October sixteenth. And with my friendship with
• 45:06
  Speaker 7: the band, I was able to procure some tickets to
• 45:10
  Speaker 7: each one of these shows. November sixteenth at Broadmoor World
• 45:17
  Speaker 7: Arena in Colorado Springs is the first one. We're going
• 45:21
  Speaker 7: to give way tickets to let me dig in here
• 45:25
  Speaker 7: and believe it or not, and this is kind of cool.
• 45:27
  Speaker 7: We have a bunch of entries for all this, And
• 45:30
  Speaker 7: I don't mean to sound We're supposed to be all
• 45:32
  Speaker 7: full of braggadosia and pomp and circumstance in my business,
• 45:36
  Speaker 7: and we're not supposed to admit things like unsurety. But
• 45:42
  Speaker 7: when we embarked upon this, I said, I don't know
• 45:46
  Speaker 7: if anyone's going to answer, and we've got shows all
• 45:49
  Speaker 7: over the place, Salt Lake City, Portland, Manchester, New Hampshire, Sacramento, Jacksonville, Floorlorida, Orlando, Tampa,
• 46:02
  Speaker 7: and it shows you how many radio stations we have
• 46:04
  Speaker 7: in Florida, New Orleans, Queens, New York, San Antonio, Chicago,
• 46:14
  Speaker 7: and we just added because we've got Evanston and Juliet there,
• 46:17
  Speaker 7: so Chicago. We're going to get tickets to the Chicago shows,
• 46:20
  Speaker 7: Minneapolis and the District of Columbia as they hit the
• 46:25
  Speaker 7: road on tour. And there's been such a great response,
• 46:27
  Speaker 7: I mean, we have to do a drawing for these,
• 46:31
  Speaker 7: and the first winner is Amy SAMs in Colorado Springs. Amy, congratulations,
• 46:38
  Speaker 7: thank you for listening to KPPF there. But Amy SAMs
• 46:43
  Speaker 7: is our first Trans Siberian Orchestra ticket winner on First
• 46:48
  Speaker 7: Thing Today by Joe Thomas here. That's kind of neat.
• 46:51
  Speaker 7: So you're now part of the history. We'll write you
• 46:54
  Speaker 7: into the Wikipedia page, Amy, and thanks to all the
• 46:57
  Speaker 7: folks who entered. If you didn't get tickets from me,
• 47:01
  Speaker 7: you can get them at trans Siberian dot org and
• 47:06
  Speaker 7: pick up tickets there. They have tickets there. Obviously, Live
• 47:09
  Speaker 7: Nation does their thing as well. In your hometown, but
• 47:14
  Speaker 7: if you go directly to the band's website, they'll be
• 47:18
  Speaker 7: able to hook you up there if you didn't get
• 47:20
  Speaker 7: tickets from me for free. But I appreciate it. Like
• 47:24
  Speaker 7: I said, we have a laundry list of shows coming up. Yeah,
• 47:28
  Speaker 7: Trans Siberian dot Com is where you go for your
• 47:32
  Speaker 7: tickets if you want to get tickets in your hometown
• 47:36
  Speaker 7: for the show. But if you want to enter and
• 47:37
  Speaker 7: you haven't yet, that's just the first of the shows
• 47:41
  Speaker 7: because that's less than a month from now, and we'll
• 47:43
  Speaker 7: kind of chronicologically be doing these giveaways as we get
• 47:47
  Speaker 7: closer to the show. As I said, next hour, we'll
• 47:49
  Speaker 7: do the tickets for Youngstown, Ohio as well as that's
• 47:54
  Speaker 7: kind of right up on us as well. But Joe

  Speaker 7: Thomas in the morning, that's the website to enter to
• 48:03
  Speaker 7: win free tickets to see my friends in the Trans
• 48:06
  Speaker 7: Siberian Orchestra. And I know that's a disingenuous term, but
• 48:09
  Speaker 7: I actually mean it this time. And Jeff Plate will
• 48:13
  Speaker 7: be joining us on Thursday Mornings program. They're just in
• 48:17
  Speaker 7: rehearsal now, getting ready to hit out on the road
• 48:20
  Speaker 7: in the beginning of November. A couple of reacts and
• 48:24
  Speaker 7: things like that we were talking about Michael Mann, and
• 48:28
  Speaker 7: that the universe has at very least a ledger. I
• 48:32
  Speaker 7: think at best it has a sense of humor and
• 48:36
  Speaker 7: a sense of irony and appropriateness. Michael Mann has now
• 48:39
  Speaker 7: lost his job at the University of Pennsylvania because he
• 48:43
  Speaker 7: called Charlie Kirk or retweeted a tweet about Charlie Kirk
• 48:48
  Speaker 7: being the Trump's leader of Hitler Youth. Gary in Berlin,
• 48:53
  Speaker 7: New Hampshire writes speaking of Mark Stein, who was done
• 48:58
  Speaker 7: in by because as he compared Michael Mann to Jerry Sandusky,
• 49:03
  Speaker 7: he being a proverbial neighbor of mine, was also persecuted
• 49:08
  Speaker 7: by the Canadian government. Was he living I can't remember
• 49:12
  Speaker 7: if he was living in Canada or he's always been
• 49:15
  Speaker 7: in New Hampshire. Obviously born in the United Kingdom, but
• 49:24
  Speaker 7: you know here in the United States and passionate about
• 49:27
  Speaker 7: the United States an immigrant.
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: I hate all these kings marches, and we're here for
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: our immigrant communities.
• 49:36
  Speaker 7: All that, and it would imply that they immigrated through
• 49:39
  Speaker 7: the legal process of immigrating. You're talking about squatters who
• 49:43
  Speaker 7: I don't see you inviting to live in your backyard
• 49:47
  Speaker 7: you q tips that the phrase we learned yesterday on
• 49:50
  Speaker 7: the program q tips. Joel writes in we are not
• 49:57
  Speaker 7: just a number until we're needed at individuals.
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure. Well, you were talking about the.
• 50:07
  Speaker 7: The dehumanizing and the centralization of everything under Amazon Web Service.
• 50:12
  Speaker 7: I get it, But they never need us as an
• 50:17
  Speaker 7: individual until they need us to amass our votes, and
• 50:21
  Speaker 7: then they'll pretend like they're here for us. And the
• 50:24
  Speaker 7: fool's errand is on us because we keep expecting other
• 50:30
  Speaker 7: people to fix our stuff for us, and I don't
• 50:36
  Speaker 7: want to get all Sunrise sermonet on it. And tons
• 50:39
  Speaker 7: of people who much more appropriately could do that get
• 50:45
  Speaker 7: to the scriptural underpinnings of this. But we are in
• 50:52
  Speaker 7: charge of our own fates. And the folks who come
• 50:57
  Speaker 7: along and say vote for me and I'll fix all
• 51:00
  Speaker 7: your stuff for you are lying to you. And they're
• 51:03
  Speaker 7: lying to you because there is this amassment of power
• 51:07
  Speaker 7: and plenary that they want to be able to manipulate,
• 51:14
  Speaker 7: even in their little portions of it.
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: And it was.
• 51:20
  Speaker 7: A power that the Constitution never imagined the US government having,
• 51:25
  Speaker 7: and it's a perversion of the Commerce Clause. In all
• 51:30
  Speaker 7: of this, every little bit of this from Woodrow Wilson
• 51:33
  Speaker 7: on up is a perversion of the Commerce Clause. And
• 51:38
  Speaker 7: I know that sounds simple, and I'm not saying take
• 51:41
  Speaker 7: the Commerce clause away, but what we need to do
• 51:44
  Speaker 7: is go back and fix, if you will, the precedent
• 51:50
  Speaker 7: that said the government had this authority that they invented
• 51:54
  Speaker 7: for themselves. Being a science fiction fan, maybe go back
• 51:59
  Speaker 7: and get John James Madison to write it more clearly
• 52:04
  Speaker 7: and succinctly.
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: But I'll share it with you when we come back
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: from the news for.
• 52:08
  Speaker 7: Just briefly, before we get into our first things, I
• 52:12
  Speaker 7: will go into what it says and how they perverted it.
• 52:17
  Speaker 7: But all of this, from Woodrow Wilson to the New Deal,
• 52:20
  Speaker 7: to the Great Society, to you know, Too Big to Fail,
• 52:24
  Speaker 7: to you know, free tuition for all are all perversions
• 52:31
  Speaker 7: of the Commerce clause. It's an interpretation to give you, hey,
• 52:37
  Speaker 7: we could have power over this. And some of it
• 52:39
  Speaker 7: was born out during the reconstruction and after the Civil War,
• 52:43
  Speaker 7: and a lot of it is racist because what happened
• 52:46
  Speaker 7: after the Civil Wars. The Dixiecrats wanted to make sure
• 52:49
  Speaker 7: the freed slaves didn't get powered.
• 52:51
  Speaker 20: A few years ago my youngest son had something minor
• 52:54
  Speaker 20: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: It was metishere that came through force and there was
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: there's no hassles, there was no problem.
• 53:02
  Speaker 20: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
• 53:05
  Speaker 20: of such an incredible ministry.
• 53:07
  Speaker 25: Meta Share is a biblical approach to healthcare where Christians
• 53:11
  Speaker 25: share each other's medical expenses.
• 53:13
  Speaker 13: Medishare is a family, a group of people that stick

  Speaker 13: with you through the hardest times of your life.
• 53:20
  Speaker 25: Metashare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over thirty years
• 53:24
  Speaker 25: old and members have shared over eight billion dollars of
• 53:27
  Speaker 25: each other's medical bills.
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
• 53:31
  Speaker 13: You can focus on on supporting other people.
• 53:33
  Speaker 27: Medashare is affordable.
• 53:35
  Speaker 25: Medishare is biblical. Medashare is family. Join thousands of Christians
