- 1:41Speaker 8: actually I've seen what artificial intelligence does, and this really
- 1:44Speaker 8: concerns me about anthropic and the use of artificial intelligence
- 1:50Speaker 8: in our surveillance state. If it can't successfully draw a
- 1:53Speaker 8: picture of a woman walking away from me without putting
- 1:57Speaker 8: her legs on backwards, what is it going to do
- 2:01Speaker 8: when it calls through all of my phone data or
- 2:04Speaker 8: my browsing history. Maybe it's something I should keep on
- 2:09Speaker 8: a folder for my defense attorney. You know, some point

- 2:31Speaker 8: where you are. You can also email JT in the
- 2:35Speaker 8: Morning Radio at gmail dot com. The fun fact of

- 2:59Speaker 8: our first thing. On this Saturday morning, it was on
- 3:03Speaker 8: again and then off again. The Strait of Hormoz has
- 3:06Speaker 8: been reclosed. According to Iranian sources, they have reclosed the
- 3:12Speaker 8: Strait of Hormuz after they heard that. President Trump said
- 3:16Speaker 8: the US blockade will remain in full force. The control
- 3:21Speaker 8: of the Strait of Hormuz has returned to its previous
- 3:24Speaker 8: state under strict management and control of the armed forces,
- 3:28Speaker 8: said Iran's Joint Military Command to the Associated Press. President
- 3:34Speaker 8: Trump told Asia Free Press Friday that a peace deal
- 3:37Speaker 8: was very close. However, after Iran suggested they would open
- 3:42Speaker 8: the Strait of Hormuz, We're very close. Looks like we're
- 3:45Speaker 8: going to have a very good deal for everyone. President Trump, however,
- 3:50Speaker 8: had stern words through social media for Israel as he
- 3:54Speaker 8: made the case and made it clear that the ten
- 3:57Speaker 8: day ceasefire between Israel and Leon would not be violated. Quote,
- 4:02Speaker 8: Israel is pardon me. Israel will not be bombing Lebanon
- 4:07Speaker 8: any longer they are prohibited from doing so by the USA.
- 4:11Speaker 8: Enough is enough. The Trump administration also said Friday that
- 4:17Speaker 8: they've renewed a waiver allowing countries to buy sanctioned Russian
- 4:21Speaker 8: oil for a month, even as lawmakers accused the government
- 4:26Speaker 8: of going easy on Moscow. The Treasury Department's waiver leeds
- 4:30Speaker 8: countries purchase Russian oil and petroleum products loaded on vessels.
- 4:35Speaker 8: As of Friday, May sixteenth, New York Attorney General Letitia
- 4:40Speaker 8: James won't speak out as to why she won't release
- 4:45Speaker 8: her tax returns. New York City Mayor Zorhan Mamdani and
- 4:50Speaker 8: New York Governor Kathy Hokl have released their tax returns
- 4:54Speaker 8: for review by New York Post reporters, but James refuses
- 4:58Speaker 8: to do so. She says her staff will make that determination.
- 5:03Speaker 8: Jonathan Reiner, who served as Dick Cheney's cardiologist, Now There's
- 5:07Speaker 8: a job, has suggested in the past that President Trump
- 5:10Speaker 8: is in cognitive decline, and he is now penned an
- 5:14Speaker 8: op ed saying this is why Congress should pass a
- 5:17Speaker 8: bill likely to have to be veto proof that establishes
- 5:21Speaker 8: a bipartisan and expert panel that periodically assesses the president's
- 5:26Speaker 8: physical and mental fitness for office. President Trump said Friday
- 5:32Speaker 8: that his administration's review of UFO related material uncovered a
- 5:37Speaker 8: number of quote interesting documents that will be released soon.
- 5:41Speaker 8: Venezuela Acting President Delsi Rodriguez said Thursday that she expressed
- 5:46Speaker 8: gratitude for President Trump and senior US officials, an odd
- 5:50Speaker 8: statement coming from Carancas and CBS News asked Clarence Thomas
- 5:56Speaker 8: and Samuel Alito if they're planning to retire anytime soon.
- 6:00Speaker 8: Answer no, not entirely. Unlike mel Brooks in History of
- 6:06Speaker 8: the World Part One, We're going to get to play

- 8:04Speaker 12: Considered by most Optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 12: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 12: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 12: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 12: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 12: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31Speaker 12: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:36Speaker 12: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42Speaker 12: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46Speaker 12: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51Speaker 12: healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

- 10:01Speaker 14: up on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 14: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 14: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:08Speaker 14: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 14: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 10:15Speaker 14: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 10:17Speaker 14: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21Speaker 14: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 10:23Speaker 14: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 10:25Speaker 14: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 10:29Speaker 14: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 10:32Speaker 14: perform life saving work every day.
- 10:34Speaker 2: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
- 10:36Speaker 14: They comfort returning veterans, some.
- 10:37Speaker 5: Of whom suffer from PTS.
- 10:39Speaker 14: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
- 10:41Speaker 14: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
- 10:44Speaker 14: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
- 10:47Speaker 14: in need. So please join me an American Humane and

- 11:06Speaker 4: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
- 11:10Speaker 4: art and brain.
- 11:12Speaker 5: Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 15: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my

- 12:32Speaker 19: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
- 12:35Speaker 19: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased

- 13:21Speaker 3: From the home of the First Amendment. First thing today,
- 13:24Speaker 3: All right, cauld I let him.
- 13:25Speaker 17: Say it with me this time.
- 13:27Speaker 20: I think I will Happy Easter, Happy Passover, and live.
- 13:30Speaker 5: On New August.
- 13:34Speaker 8: Or actually Saturday morning, as where we are live from
- 13:37Speaker 8: New York as we come. It's my niece's sweet sixteen today,
- 13:44Speaker 8: which by the way, is more palatial than my wedding was.
- 13:48Speaker 8: Actually think it's more palatial than her parents' wedding was
- 13:51Speaker 8: as well. But that's just where we are in America
- 13:54Speaker 8: these days. It was just looking around and it's beautiful,
- 14:00Speaker 8: and to be fair, I've seen some of the catering
- 14:03Speaker 8: halls that get booked for these kind of affairs, and
- 14:06Speaker 8: I'm thinking, wow, somebody has to be making a couple
- 14:10Speaker 8: of bucks here. It is most likely the caterers and
- 14:15Speaker 8: the food service people there. And so we are here
- 14:20Speaker 8: from just up the road, just up the road from
- 14:23Speaker 8: our fine affiliate here on Long Island, the place where
- 14:26Speaker 8: I met all these people for the first time and
- 14:29Speaker 8: dragged myself into their mad, mad world one three point
- 14:32Speaker 8: nine WRCN. Meanwhile, back home my state Virginia, it's the
- 14:40Speaker 8: last day to vote early in the referendum that would
- 14:45Speaker 8: allow the government to temporarily suspend its constitution. And nothing
- 14:51Speaker 8: says Banana Republic more than temporarily suspending the constitution of anything?
- 14:58Speaker 10: Is it?
- 15:00Speaker 8: If you had a company and you were working for
- 15:02Speaker 8: this company, and the CEO said, here's your employee agreement
- 15:07Speaker 8: and this is the hard fast rules by which you
- 15:11Speaker 8: conduct work for our company. Except if I decide differently.
- 15:16Speaker 8: If I changed my mind and I decide that maybe
- 15:19Speaker 8: you have to go out for drinks with me on
- 15:22Speaker 8: a Friday, and maybe I'll make some inappropriate comments to you,
- 15:27Speaker 8: That's okay because I get to decide. See, rule of
- 15:31Speaker 8: law is about well rule of law, and that the
- 15:36Speaker 8: law rules, and you can't just change things because you
- 15:41Speaker 8: don't like them. Do we have the Obama I don't
- 15:44Speaker 8: want to subject people. Barack Obama has doubled down on it,
- 15:47Speaker 8: and I bless him for this because there was a
- 15:49Speaker 8: lot of catfishing going on in the redistricting fight here
- 15:54Speaker 8: in Virginia, and I've gotten a lot of flak. I
- 15:57Speaker 8: wrote a column for the Daydaily Signal and you can
- 16:01Speaker 8: find it at Daily Signal dot com about, you know,
- 16:05Speaker 8: Virginia's Democrats should take a lesson from Maryland's Democrats who
- 16:09Speaker 8: looked at partisan redistricting and said no. And I was
- 16:14Speaker 8: and I've been criticized because vote no is the slogan
- 16:20Speaker 8: that the Republicans and those who do not want. There's
- 16:25Speaker 8: a bunch of Democrats who don't want the redistricting to
- 16:28Speaker 8: pass in the Commonwealth of Virginia. And I've been hammered
- 16:34Speaker 8: in social media for using my column for a partisan argument.
- 16:40Speaker 8: What because all the other slots to use our written
- 16:44Speaker 8: columns for partisan arguments were taken. I don't understand what
- 16:48Speaker 8: the all of a sudden come to Jesus moment is
- 16:51Speaker 8: all about. But oh but because I wrote this wonderfully
- 16:55Speaker 8: eloquent treatise that if I do say so myself, that
- 16:59Speaker 8: leads up to the point where I said, Virginia's Democrats
- 17:02Speaker 8: should do like Maryland's Democrats and vote no, because that's
- 17:08Speaker 8: the slogan that the people are using. This is this
- 17:11Speaker 8: is the violation of you know whatever, it's a violation
- 17:15Speaker 8: of It's a violation of somebody's heini hurt. Maryland's Democrats
- 17:21Speaker 8: voted no on redistricting. That fact is incontrovertible. The senators
- 17:28Speaker 8: in Maryland's state House, outnumbering Republicans two to one, said no.
- 17:38Speaker 8: So I think Virginia's Democrats should do the same thing.
- 17:41Speaker 8: Today's the last day to vote early, or if you
- 17:45Speaker 8: listen to Virginia's Democrats, you're not voting at all. Really,
- 17:49Speaker 8: you're you're not voting until we count your vote. That's
- 17:53Speaker 8: the craziest ass thing in this is that one of
- 17:56Speaker 8: the illegal usurpations that the Virginia Democrats used to even
- 18:01Speaker 8: bring us to a point of this redistricting referendum. Because
- 18:06Speaker 8: I mean to be fair, Eric Holder gave them a
- 18:08Speaker 8: lot of money, and he said, I don't care what
- 18:11Speaker 8: the rules are. I used to be attorney general. Why
- 18:14Speaker 8: should I concern myself with what the law says. I
- 18:18Speaker 8: didn't become attorney general to enforce the law. I became
- 18:21Speaker 8: attorney general to be the law. So Attorney General Holder
- 18:27Speaker 8: is out on this campaign to make sure that conservative
- 18:31Speaker 8: voices are never heard from again and paid awful lot
- 18:37Speaker 8: of Virginia Democrats. But one of the usurpatients. Was this
- 18:42Speaker 8: premise which will be adjudicated according to the Virginia Supreme
- 18:46Speaker 8: Court after all the votes have been counted in this referendum.
- 18:52Speaker 8: Because our jurists, what's the poultry, I think poultry is
- 18:59Speaker 8: not paltry. Poultry is what they are, and they don't
- 19:03Speaker 8: want to be seen as actually ruling on anything, especially
- 19:07Speaker 8: if it might make them, you know, less popular at
- 19:10Speaker 8: the country club. So our jurists will rule on the
- 19:14Speaker 8: legality of this action.
- 19:17Speaker 5: And one of the.
- 19:19Speaker 8: Interpretations that the Democrats bent themselves over the table to
- 19:24Speaker 8: do for Eric Holder was the fact that for early
- 19:27Speaker 8: voting in your state, I think Connecticut, you know, gh
- 19:32Speaker 8: Long Island here, New York has a little bit of
- 19:35Speaker 8: smattering of early voting before any election cycle. In Virginia,
- 19:39Speaker 8: it is forty five days long. Forty five days, which
- 19:45Speaker 8: is you say, oh, month and a half, that's a lot. No,
- 19:47Speaker 8: it's more than a month and a half. It's forty
- 19:49Speaker 8: five actual days that the polls open up for. So
- 19:54Speaker 8: for forty five days we are voting. But the Democrats
- 19:58Speaker 8: just few months ago said, oh no, you're not really voting. No, no, no, no,
- 20:04Speaker 8: your vote is only a vote, and when we count
- 20:07Speaker 8: the vote. And if you think about what they've done
- 20:12Speaker 8: in say Fulton County, Georgia in twenty twenty, or Philadelphia
- 20:19Speaker 8: in twenty twenty, or Milwaukee in twenty twenty, are you
- 20:23Speaker 8: sensing a theme here? Of course, they only want your
- 20:28Speaker 8: vote to count when they count it, because in some
- 20:30Speaker 8: cases they're not going to count it, or once they've
- 20:33Speaker 8: counted it, they'll go manufacture one that will counteract it.
- 20:41Speaker 8: That's one of my favorite parts of this is that
- 20:43Speaker 8: they've said that now for forty five days. You think
- 20:46Speaker 8: you're voting. You're going into a place and saying I
- 20:48Speaker 8: want a ballot, and they check your ID, and then
- 20:51Speaker 8: they give you a ballot, and you go to a
- 20:53Speaker 8: voting station and you vote, and you put it into
- 20:56Speaker 8: the ballot counting machine, and you think you've voted to
- 21:00Speaker 8: Virginia's Democrats. Oh, silly, mortal. You don't vote until we
- 21:05Speaker 8: say you voted, until we've counted that vote, until we've
- 21:08Speaker 8: tabulated that vote. It's a crazy land we live in.
- 21:13Speaker 8: So much going on. President Trump brought the House down
- 21:19Speaker 8: at a turning Point USA event yesterday, and just you know,

- 21:55Speaker 8: Blessed are the peacemakers. You tell me four three four

- 24:07Speaker 12: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 24:12Speaker 12: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18Speaker 12: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22Speaker 12: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26Speaker 12: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31Speaker 12: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 12: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:42Speaker 12: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 24:45Speaker 12: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

- 28:40Speaker 8: Uh and all you know, my clock is over here.
- 28:43Speaker 8: And I know it sounds like excuse making, but when
- 28:47Speaker 8: you get used to certain things in certain places and

- 28:51Speaker 8: you like, oh, get red lights on. Apologies to those

- 29:02Speaker 8: link antenna that brings us to you each morning along
- 29:06Speaker 8: the TNK media network. President Trump making the case that
- 29:10Speaker 8: he is ending wars. And it's interesting because a lot
- 29:13Speaker 8: of folks are now accusing me of just being a
- 29:17Speaker 8: shill for the president, because I've been saying this for
- 29:21Speaker 8: what forty eight days now.
- 29:23Speaker 7: Remember I'm the peacemaker.
- 29:25Speaker 5: I'm the one that settled eight wars.
- 29:27Speaker 1: I settled a war that would have killed thirty to
- 29:30Speaker 1: fifty million people India Pakistan. You have to sometimes get involved.
- 29:37Speaker 1: We are the inheritors of the most incredible civilization that
- 29:42Speaker 1: has ever existed, and our task is to defend it.
- 29:46Speaker 8: We have to defend it and I made the case
- 29:50Speaker 8: some forty five days ago. I won't say that I
- 29:52Speaker 8: made the case as the bombs were landing on Tehran
- 29:56Speaker 8: that Saturday morning, a month and a half ago. Lot
- 30:01Speaker 8: Is said, this is an old war. Then on the thirteenth,
- 30:05Speaker 8: and if you weren't listening on the thirteenth, which was
- 30:09Speaker 8: for you guys here on Long Island Tuesday's program, it
- 30:12Speaker 8: was Thomas Jefferson's birthday, and I read into the public
- 30:15Speaker 8: record Thomas Jefferson's statement. Thomas Jefferson routinely referred to as
- 30:21Speaker 8: the peacenick of our founding fathers, the one you know
- 30:25Speaker 8: who didn't want war, who wrote after meeting with the
- 30:30Speaker 8: leaders of the Barbary pirates and reading the Quran himself,
- 30:36Speaker 8: he wrote, quote, I think we may need to end
- 30:40Speaker 8: this with a war. Not wanting it, but understanding it.
- 30:45Speaker 8: And since Thomas Jefferson, since seventeen eighty six, two hundred
- 30:51Speaker 8: and forty years now have passed, and finally somebody has
- 30:54Speaker 8: come along to say, Okay, let's end this. But nobody
- 30:58Speaker 8: will make that case. See to mention, you know, to
- 31:01Speaker 8: Donald Trump in the same breath as Thomas Jefferson. Although
- 31:06Speaker 8: there are many people who think Donald Trump and Thomas
- 31:08Speaker 8: Jefferson are two of the worst things that ever happened
- 31:11Speaker 8: to America. I don't want to have breakfast with them,
- 31:13Speaker 8: but they're out there. You have to acknowledge.
- 31:16Speaker 3: Uh.
- 31:16Speaker 8: So, on this Saturday morning, Joel is hanging on the
- 31:19Speaker 8: line with us at four three four eight eight two
- 31:21Speaker 8: four two one seven. We'll tell you what went on
- 31:24Speaker 8: and we'll ask you how it's impacting you where you are.
- 31:27Speaker 8: Good morning, Joel, how are you this morning?
- 31:30Speaker 12: Good?
- 31:31Speaker 9: Good, good morning, Joe. I just wanted to say this.
- 31:34Speaker 16: Have you ever taken your car in just to get
- 31:36Speaker 16: an oil change or truck and then you find out
- 31:40Speaker 16: it's it's more than an oil change. They go, well,
- 31:43Speaker 16: you really need to take care of this, and you
- 31:45Speaker 16: take care of that. And I went for an eye
- 31:48Speaker 16: exam yesterday and complete eye exam. I don't have insurance
- 31:51Speaker 16: or anything, but you know, it costs little bit more,
- 31:53Speaker 16: but you only have one set eyes.
- 31:54Speaker 9: And as well, you got some.
- 31:56Speaker 16: Scarring in your left eye and you got this and
- 31:59Speaker 16: that going on.
- 32:00Speaker 5: I said, how bad is that?
- 32:01Speaker 16: She's well, we'll keep an eye on at Did you
- 32:02Speaker 16: have an infection?
- 32:03Speaker 5: And all this other stuff?
- 32:05Speaker 16: Well, President to Trump sees, and here's a lot of
- 32:09Speaker 16: other things that we don't necessarily see or hear.
- 32:13Speaker 9: But also through this process of what he's.
- 32:15Speaker 16: Doing to eliminate the foe of the the you know,
- 32:20Speaker 16: the Islamisists and Iran.
- 32:24Speaker 9: It's like the oil change.
- 32:25Speaker 16: He's like, well, you need to really get your car
- 32:28Speaker 16: aligned because if you don't, your brakes are bad. They're
- 32:30Speaker 16: down to zero point one millimeters or whatever. You know,
- 32:33Speaker 16: I don't know all the spects. And he's finding out
- 32:36Speaker 16: all that, and and the public wants something in a nice,
- 32:39Speaker 16: neat package. They want things that are clean, and they
- 32:43Speaker 16: want just because a lot of those people have never
- 32:46Speaker 16: been through any experiences other than what they hear on
- 32:49Speaker 16: their phone, their social media sites or through their hippie
- 32:56Speaker 16: lead you know, leftist grandparents with blue and green hair.
- 33:00Speaker 16: And then and then they go back on and they
- 33:02Speaker 16: go on TikTok and they go, well, you know, that
- 33:04Speaker 16: makes a lot of sense from grandma and grandpa.
- 33:07Speaker 8: You know, well, and grandma, let's not forget Grandma and
- 33:10Speaker 8: grandpa were taught that by the Soviet Union, who were
- 33:13Speaker 8: paying more money into the American anti war movement than
- 33:16Speaker 8: they gave to the North Vietnamese army. But yeah, your
- 33:20Speaker 8: point is exactly right. I mean it's it's we we
- 33:23Speaker 8: don't want change. You know, if for a free society
- 33:27Speaker 8: that is driven on volatile opportunity, we don't want it.
- 33:32Speaker 8: We act like, oh no, we'd rather have the horrific
- 33:36Speaker 8: status quo rather than terrifying opportunity for change. Uh and
- 33:43Speaker 8: and realignment. It is a peace. In CNN just this morning,
- 33:48Speaker 8: it said, now that the war is over, when do
- 33:50Speaker 8: we get back to normal? I mean, you know, it's
- 33:53Speaker 8: I read an email earlier this week, and by the way,
- 33:57Speaker 8: for our friends on Long Island in Massachusetts and don't
- 33:59Speaker 8: get home the weekly programs, you can go to Joe
- 34:02Speaker 8: Thomas in the Morning dot com and sign up for
- 34:05Speaker 8: the podcast distributions. But earlier in the week, we received
- 34:08Speaker 8: an email. You may have heard it Joel Listener. Young
- 34:13Speaker 8: lady was concerned about because her dad had fought in
- 34:20Speaker 8: World War Two, was relatively salty about all the people
- 34:25Speaker 8: complaining about higher gasoline prices, and she was rattling off
- 34:30Speaker 8: all the things that had to happen in World War
- 34:32Speaker 8: Two in order to support what we were fighting, the fascists.
- 34:37Speaker 8: And I think part of it is you know, as
- 34:40Speaker 8: much as President Trump has tried, because we have gotten
- 34:44Speaker 8: to this point seven years into President Trump's administrations as governor,
- 34:49Speaker 8: as president, and you know, and then four more with him,
- 34:53Speaker 8: you know, wandering in the wastelands. Is that half the
- 34:58Speaker 8: country just doesn't listen to him because they've been told
- 35:02Speaker 8: he is an abomination, because he is an offense to
- 35:06Speaker 8: the very existence of humanity. So if President Trump says something,
- 35:13Speaker 8: half the country just doesn't listen to it. It's the
- 35:15Speaker 8: old you know expression, Does a tree fall in the
- 35:17Speaker 8: woods if no one's there, if no one's listening to it,
- 35:21Speaker 8: doesn't make a sound. And that's why half the country
- 35:25Speaker 8: just doesn't all they know, Well, the gas prices are high,
- 35:28Speaker 8: They're not even as high as they were under Joe Biden.
- 35:30Speaker 8: I know you out in Arizona have been hit pretty
- 35:32Speaker 8: hard by it because you don't have portage Virginia. I mean,
- 35:36Speaker 8: I'm still paying three three sixteen for a gallon, which
- 35:40Speaker 8: is higher than it was it was under two dollars. See,
- 35:44Speaker 8: I use the fifteen percent ethanol stuff and if you
- 35:48Speaker 8: can find it, it's way cheaper than just pure gasoline there.
- 35:54Speaker 8: But it was you know, but Virginia has portage, which
- 35:57Speaker 8: means we get gasoline, you know, a little bit more
- 36:01Speaker 8: directly than someone in Arizona does. Part of why California
- 36:05Speaker 8: is getting screwed is Governor Newsoon won't let them use
- 36:07Speaker 8: the portage to get the gasoline into their fuel pumps.
- 36:11Speaker 8: But but we we don't want to make sacrifices, even
- 36:15Speaker 8: if the sacrifice means we can finally breathe a little
- 36:19Speaker 8: easier that some Islamic terrorists paid for by Iran's The
- 36:24Speaker 8: theocratic regime isn't going to walk into our cafe with
- 36:28Speaker 8: a dynamite vest On.
- 36:31Speaker 9: And Joe. Hard work is what's missing. It goes for
- 36:35Speaker 9: the Democratic Party too.
- 36:37Speaker 16: Yeah, they they work, they work hard, but they work hard,
- 36:40Speaker 16: un cheating, not actually doing what they need to do.
- 36:43Speaker 16: And and look at look at look at people go oh,
- 36:46Speaker 16: I'm going to grow a garden in my in my yard.
- 36:48Speaker 9: Right.
- 36:49Speaker 16: But then there's like you know, nats, there's you can
- 36:51Speaker 16: get irritation because you may come in contact with like poison,
- 36:55Speaker 16: ivy or other allergies or something like that. They go, oh, well,
- 36:58Speaker 16: I can't do this, it's just too much. I got
- 37:01Speaker 16: callouses on my hands. That's what President Trump is trying
- 37:04Speaker 16: to say, it's like you got to put in the
- 37:06Speaker 16: hard work to get.
- 37:07Speaker 9: The gold well.
- 37:08Speaker 8: But I think there's a gas lit portion of America
- 37:12Speaker 8: that doesn't want freedom and liberty. They want free stuff.
- 37:16Speaker 8: These are the folks that have been told that we
- 37:18Speaker 8: are a great nation. Therefore you should have a place
- 37:20Speaker 8: to live. We are a great nation, therefore you should
- 37:22Speaker 8: have a job. We're a great nation, therefore you should
- 37:25Speaker 8: get free college, and all these things that have been
- 37:28Speaker 8: put under the premise of we are a great nation.
- 37:30Speaker 8: Dot dot dot fill in the blank. Joel coming up

- 38:08Speaker 22: In many states, the setane rating and diesel fuel is
- 38:11Speaker 22: forty two to forty five. Most diesel engines operate more
- 38:14Speaker 22: efficiently with the cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one.

- 38:20Speaker 22: seatane seven points, increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts.

- 44:51Speaker 8: four three four eight A two four two one seven
- 44:53Speaker 8: fund and frolics. Since we talked about the Vietnam War,
- 44:59Speaker 8: where is Danang Dick? We have a clip of Danang Dick,
- 45:03Speaker 8: which is always a great way to start, especially for
- 45:05Speaker 8: our friends listening at w g H in Greenwich. Do
- 45:10Speaker 8: you have the efforting Oh, you want to make sure
- 45:13Speaker 8: it's a clean clip? And he doesn't say, you know, basically,
- 45:17Speaker 8: Danang Dick Blumenthal of Connecticut is there telling you that
- 45:25Speaker 8: this is an illegal war and that he's backing off
- 45:29Speaker 8: his statements regarding soldiers being able to violate unlawful orders,
- 45:35Speaker 8: saying that the soldiers shouldn't be blamed for this illegal war.
- 45:40Speaker 8: And he ought to know because he wasn't a soldier
- 45:42Speaker 8: in any illegal wars. Back in the day, Doctor Clark
- 45:46Speaker 8: is on the line with us when we get the
- 45:47Speaker 8: actual clip, because I know everyone loves to hear Danang
- 45:50Speaker 8: Dick bluementhal in the morning. How are you doing this morning, sir?
- 45:55Speaker 20: All right, let's give a little sympathy to little Dick
- 46:01Speaker 20: because it's truly a bad time.
- 46:04Speaker 9: To be a filthy Marxist show, is it really?
- 46:08Speaker 20: Well, let's look at you know, let's go with Joel's
- 46:12Speaker 20: oil change analogy for a minute.
- 46:15Speaker 9: Okay, we started out with Maga went in for an
- 46:18Speaker 9: oil change, going to ten things up a little bit. Okay,
- 46:22Speaker 9: he said, you know, let's get strokeboard.
- 46:26Speaker 20: Don't racing pistons, a fuel injection system upgrade, and uh,
- 46:32Speaker 20: let's add some headers.
- 46:33Speaker 9: We've gone for Maga to Mega.
- 46:37Speaker 20: Okay, everybody's been focused on the Straits of Hormos. We
- 46:42Speaker 20: just pretty much steered the Straits of Malocca. And I
- 46:46Speaker 20: was having a hard time remember that name. But I
- 46:49Speaker 20: got in the monic. Now I'm never gonna forget Joe.
- 46:51Speaker 20: Let me help you, all right, boom shot block locker,
- 46:54Speaker 20: boomshock lock locka.
- 46:56Speaker 8: We got macklocka, we got meloca locka, we got you're
- 47:01Speaker 8: talking about Venezuela, right, no, no.
- 47:06Speaker 9: So the greatest choke point for China get in oil
- 47:10Speaker 9: is this.
- 47:10Speaker 8: Yeah, the China streets the Straight of Malacca.
- 47:14Speaker 20: And on April the thirteenth, while nobody was paying attention,
- 47:19Speaker 20: everybody's like, that's the worst meme ever. Pete Head said,
- 47:25Speaker 20: cut a deal with Indonesia's Secretary of Defense. We have
- 47:32Speaker 20: unrestricted use of Indonesian airspace, which.
- 47:38Speaker 9: Gives us fly over on the Strait of Malacca.
- 47:44Speaker 8: So China can't get with that without confronting us restract
- 47:49Speaker 8: shipping through there. Okay, I got you.
- 47:50Speaker 9: Now in the South China Sea just kind of got negated.
- 47:56Speaker 8: Funny we you know, somebody, somebody who supposedly is a
- 48:00Speaker 8: veteran of the Vietnam conflict, to which he wasn't Dick
- 48:03Speaker 8: Blumenthal should have had a comment about that. You'd think
- 48:06Speaker 8: you would think, hey.
- 48:08Speaker 20: While we're talking about comments, perhaps Dick Cheney's cardiologists could
- 48:13Speaker 20: get fifty one intellect for a sign off on his diagnosis.
- 48:18Speaker 8: What a job though, I mean, you know Dick Cheney's
- 48:21Speaker 8: cardiologists really, I mean, you know, if this guy must
- 48:25Speaker 8: have been in the room following him around constantly, because
- 48:30Speaker 8: I know my dad's primary care physician was actually a
- 48:34Speaker 8: cardiologist because his family history. But I mean, Dick Cheney,
- 48:37Speaker 8: I mean, I'm amazed he made it as long as
- 48:41Speaker 8: he did.
- 48:43Speaker 20: Remember the Saturday Night Live skits on Mike Dicka where
- 48:47Speaker 20: every seconds he had a heart attack.
- 48:51Speaker 9: Going again, that was that guy's job.
- 48:54Speaker 20: He had to chest punch Dick Cheney every few minutes
- 48:57Speaker 20: to keep him going.
- 48:59Speaker 8: And what a great gift to this country that was.
- 49:02Speaker 8: Uh there, I mean, you know, and he's served. But
- 49:05Speaker 8: I mean, you know, Dick Cheney, you know, may he
- 49:08Speaker 8: rest in peace and his family business. I mean, how
- 49:11Speaker 8: many more Cheney adjuncts are going to have to take
- 49:14Speaker 8: a podshot at President Trump because he came in and said,
- 49:18Speaker 8: y'all ain't done. You know, And I know that the
- 49:22Speaker 8: left loved to make the whole Halliburton argument, and and
- 49:26Speaker 8: you know, uh Neocon and industrial military industrial complex. And
- 49:31Speaker 8: I always and I am consistent in saying, there are
- 49:34Speaker 8: only two corporations on the planet that can do big
- 49:38Speaker 8: construction outside of the Chaikom government, but outside of the
- 49:43Speaker 8: Chai Kong government, it is the bin Laden Construction Company, yes,
- 49:46Speaker 8: that family, bin Laden and Halliburton. These are the only
- 49:50Speaker 8: if you need to build an airport, there are only
- 49:52Speaker 8: a few contracting companies you can call to do that.
- 49:56Speaker 8: So when the US government would call on Halliburton to
- 49:59Speaker 8: build an airstre for them, you know, there weren't a
- 50:02Speaker 8: lot of other bidders for it. And it's not because
- 50:05Speaker 8: Dick Cheney had cut it insider deal, though they left
- 50:08Speaker 8: like to make it that way. So I'm going to say,
- 50:10Speaker 8: you know, in defense of the Cheney family and their
- 50:13Speaker 8: wealth at Halliburton, there's there's some realities that to consider
- 50:18Speaker 8: in that that being said, I mean, you know, okay,
- 50:21Speaker 8: so Trump came in and did all the things that
- 50:24Speaker 8: you couldn't do. I'm sorry, grow a set and be
- 50:27Speaker 8: a mens about it.
- 50:29Speaker 20: It's so much more than Trump came in and did
- 50:31Speaker 20: what they couldn't do. Joe Trump's come in and he
- 50:35Speaker 20: has undone fifty sixty one hundred years.
- 50:41Speaker 9: Of efforts to diminish the United States globally. And yes,
- 50:47Speaker 9: it's mega. He's making Earth's great again.
- 50:50Speaker 20: Now real quick aside here. Anytime you hear neo con,
- 50:56Speaker 20: you just plug in, not a con, and it's a
- 50:59Speaker 20: con because it's time what you got with a neocon?
- 51:03Speaker 8: Okay, well it's you know, and for those who don't
- 51:07Speaker 8: neo constantly, you know, neo conservative meaning somebody who purports Americanism,
- 51:14Speaker 8: Republicanism whatever, politically aligned with Republicans. But okay, with high
- 51:19Speaker 8: defense spending and that kind of thing. And you know,
- 51:24Speaker 8: a defense department's expensive aircraft carriers. You know, you can't
- 51:28Speaker 8: get them at Walmart, and so to build these things
- 51:32Speaker 8: is expensive. And that's one of the things that people
- 51:35Speaker 8: don't realize. And we have negotiated and I know that
- 51:40Speaker 8: when the Soviet Union fell, there was a lot of
- 51:42Speaker 8: column space dedicated to what happens to us now. If
- 51:46Speaker 8: we're the only superpower in the world. Trump's been the
- 51:49Speaker 8: first president who has leaned into that. Obama and all
- 51:53Speaker 8: these other folks have leaned away from it, saying, oh no,
- 51:56Speaker 8: we don't want to be the Trump's like, all right, fine,
- 51:58Speaker 8: we're the only superpower in the world's let's take that
- 52:01Speaker 8: out for a walk.
- 52:02Speaker 9: Okay, let's run with that for half a second. Shoe.
- 52:05Speaker 9: Somebody is going to be the superpower in the world.
- 52:09Speaker 9: It's just the way it is. I'm sorry, Princess, somebody's
- 52:13Speaker 9: going to be the superpower.
- 52:15Speaker 7: Now, who.
- 52:17Speaker 20: Would you rather that superpower be? Would you rather be China?
- 52:25Speaker 20: Would you rather be in the wef would you rather
- 52:30Speaker 20: be Islam?
- 52:32Speaker 9: I pick us? Joe, Oh yeah, what Trump is doing.
- 52:35Speaker 8: But he's made us uncomfortable. He's challenged the comfort zone
- 52:40Speaker 8: of Americans. I've got to run to the news, Clark.
- 52:42Speaker 8: You have a great morning down there in Alabama.
- 52:45Speaker 20: That's why the Russians spent so much money here rather
- 52:48Speaker 20: than Vietnam.
- 52:51Speaker 24: Crime across the country is at an all time high.
- 52:54Speaker 24: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
- 52:56Speaker 24: a risk. We don't want the feeling of being unprotected
