  Speaker 1: I'm more mega now make America great again than I've
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: ever been. Making mornings great again. First thing today on
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: The blessings of a Tedstee on you and your kin
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: at 434-882-4217. I will tell you what went on last night.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I will give you my analysis of it, of course.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: It comes with the training kit. And then I want
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: to hear how it's impacting you. where you are. The
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: singular most important local aspect of the radio station is you.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: And that's why your say on one of these issues,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: whatever they may be, is important. And, you know, if
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: it's just, I can't take the diesel prices, explain why,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: you know, we needed to do the Iran, whatever it is,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: it is important. And that's why we have text messaging
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: as well as telephonic at 434-882-4217. You can also use
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: email jtinthemorningradio at gmail.com is how you do that bit
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: of ledger domain. So much getting into Ukraine, Russia. We're
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: finding out Wall Street Journal says they have whistleblowers and
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: or leakers within the administration that tell them that Elon
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Musk was the one that shut off the battlefield, or
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I guess geofenced the battlefield uses of Starlink. But there's Murky.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: It's the Wall Street Journal. They have a cachet, but
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: they're publishing... you know, Vindman-style stories. I walked down the
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: hall and I heard somebody say that, and how many
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: times has President Trump had a phone call with Volodymyr
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Zelensky that's gotten him in trouble? And he said yesterday,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I'm getting tired of Ukraine getting all this stuff from
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: us and us not getting anything in return, I presume
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: because the question was, Whose side is he on? It
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: seems like the press seems to think he has picked
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: a winner in Putin. But that is, again, remains to
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: be seen. But the president was buttonholed on it yesterday
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: during the press gaggles that he holds routinely around the
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Oval Office. So that's a part and parcel of what
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: we're going to get into this morning, midterms, two weeks away.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Two weeks from now, we will know. And then what
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: will we do? What will we do? And the GOP
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: campaigning on France as a cautionary tale, which I don't
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: think is unfair, but we can discuss as well. Alberta
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: has voted to table the idea of declaring themselves independent
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: from Canada. 75% of voters, with 84% of the voting
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: areas counted, support the idea of remaining in Canada. Now,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: this was a vote to determine whether a vote on
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: independence would take place. Steve Witkoff met with Russian President,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: today to present an updated proposal aimed at ending the
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: war in Ukraine. The meeting follows Tuesday's talks in Oslo,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: where Witkoff met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: European leaders to develop a framework for ending the conflict. Meanwhile,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: the story I told you, Wall Street Journal reporting that
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of military-grade versions of Starlink
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: used by Ukrainian drones last week, disrupting operations against Russian forces.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: The restrictions unilaterally declared by Musk on October 14th limited
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: the drone's speed and capabilities during offensive and defensive missions. Musk,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: then the report says, called President Trump and discussed the decision.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: The journal leaves it questionable whether the administration knew he
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: was going to do that or not. President Trump's administration
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: also has reported that it has revoked 300,000 U.S. visas
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: just during the first year and change of the second term,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: State Department said Tuesday. As the federal crackdown continues on
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: immigration fraud, the number showed an acceleration in the pace
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: of visa revocations in the past week and the Trump
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: administration is offering rewards for whistleblowers who report fraud in
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: federal programs saying that the investment in millions of dollars
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: there will save billions in fraud across the federal government
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: and those are some of our first things this morning
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Our friends at Mesa Verde Hemp want you to go
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: visit themesaverdehemp.com. I used to just actually send some to
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: a friend who's having shoulder surgery today, I believe, just
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: to help to ease the pain and to keep her
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: off the opioids. Their CBD, I've got some on my
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: knee right now ever since CPAC. It's like you sit
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: too long and it just becomes a pain, literally a
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: pain in the knee. stiffens up like crazy, but it
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: has been getting so much better that I've been rubbing
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: the CBD oil that Mesa Verde Hemp makes right there
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: in the four corners of Colorado. Find them online at mesaverdehemp.com.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: For veterans concerned about their alcohol or drug use, seeking
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: help can be the first step toward recovery.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Dr.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Joseph Liberto, National Mental Health Director for Substance Use Disorders
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, has more.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: May is Mental Health Month, and VA is committed to
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: letting every veteran know that help is available. Substance use
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: disorder can harm your physical and mental health, but it

  Speaker 3: VA's Today I Am campaign highlights real stories from veterans

  Speaker 5: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: inflammation has antioxidant properties and research suggests that curcumin can
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: prevent cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: and in many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: our healthy cells even from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: you to look good, feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General at oig.ssa.gov
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: I'm Jack Hanna.
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: Since I was a boy growing up on a farm
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: in awe of their beauty and kindness, but also their
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds who gather
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes who work hard
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: to provide for their young. Or penguins, who travel up
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: to 500 miles to secure food for their families. Or
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them to navigate the
• 10:21
  Speaker 7: trees and the wild in search of fruit. This remarkable
• 10:24
  Speaker 7: work ethic is shared by our best friends, the canines.
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home, but
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving work
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They work
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in their
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly trained
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
• 10:47
  Speaker 7: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
• 10:59
  Speaker 8: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 10: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 11: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 12: Good thing is, he knows.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: When he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 13: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 13: somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 14: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 15: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:23
  Speaker 15: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:28
  Speaker 14: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 14: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 14: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:39
  Speaker 14: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 14: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 14: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 11:51
  Speaker 14: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 11:54
  Speaker 14: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulations. Another time
• 11:58
  Speaker 14: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:00
  Speaker 14: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 12:04
  Speaker 14: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:07
  Speaker 14: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 12:11
  Speaker 14: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 12:14
  Speaker 14: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
• 12:18
  Speaker 14: money by reducing your energy waste, check out ftc.gov slash green.
• 12:24
  Speaker 14: A tip from the Federal Trade Commission. the nation's consumer
• 12:27
  Speaker 14: protection agency.
• 12:29
  Speaker 16: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 16: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 16: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:40
  Speaker 16: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 12:43
  Speaker 16: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
• 12:48
  Speaker 16: at MakeTheConnection.net and learn how you can support the veterans
• 12:53
  Speaker 16: in your life. Treatment works. Recovery is possible.
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: Report cases of corruption.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: We're in the west of a walking, tumbling town.
• 13:33
  Speaker 17: Shifting the sand, walking to the madman. Haven't heard a sound.
• 13:39
  Speaker 17: You don't have to worry. Help is on the way.
• 13:43
  Speaker 17: We don't need no pain.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: So there's a parable in this Starlink story that I
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: think is important. So the narrative that the left is
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: creating is that there's a lawlessness. They're creating this narrative
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: because they've suborned this lawlessness ever since Barack Obama said, well,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: I'm telling federal authorities to stop enforcing marijuana possession laws.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Making law a fungible asset, a nice-to-have, only needed when,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: you know, break glass in emergency. And it's not a flaw.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: It's a feature. If you decide that you can pick
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: and choose what laws you enforce, you have anarchy. And
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: I know that when George Soros and the Open Society Foundation,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Tom Perriello, proprietor at the time, began sending large bags
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: of money to candidates running for local district attorneys and
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: commonwealths' attorneys— We talked about it in the reference of
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: they're going to try to prosecute Trump in all of
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: these localities and anything that the administration tries to do
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: will be brought to court in these localities because they'll
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: have already bought and paid for the prosecutor. But there's
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: a longer game and Soros doesn't do anything short term.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: He's not, well, this will get us through till Thursday. No,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: he's not a stopgap kind of guy. He invested in
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: a long-term program. And certainly some of the effects are,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: you know, multiple crime committing, sexual assault, murder, drug dealing,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: felons getting released by, you know, guys like Steve Descano
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: and Fairfax County, Virginia, just outside of Washington, D.C., walking distance, really,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you pack a lunch, to the White House.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: And beyond that, you get this idea that your commitments
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: are based on your whimsy. And we used to point
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: this out when... NFL coaches and things like that would
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: quit their team and move to a better gig, seemingly
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: unbowed by the idea that they had a contract. And
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: then players started doing it, and then movie stars started
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: doing it, and all these people in the public square
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: started treating their commitments as if they were nice-to-haves, never
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: minding our celebration of the degradation of the commitment of marriage,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: we've become a society that doesn't care about our commitments.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Our word means bupkis to a large degree. And it becomes,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: as Andrew Breitbart said, politics is downstream from culture. So first,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: you had to create a culture that was a movable target,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: that we treated our commitments like suggestions. I'll work for
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: you or I won't. We watched it during the post-COVID
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: era where people were being given government grants to just
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: stay home provided they applied for jobs. And what was
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: happening is people would apply for a job and just
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: not show up for the interview because they never wanted
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: the job. Or then the government cracked down and said, no,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: you may actually have to show up for the interview.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: And people who were getting hired just didn't show up.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Or people that got hired and showed up didn't show
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: up the second day because they didn't like the job
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: after the first day. This is the society we've created,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: and it's not a majority. It doesn't need to be
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: a majority. It just needs to be enough that when
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: you degrade our electorate to a 40 to 45 percent turnout,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: the 20 percent that have been convinced that whatever you
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: feel like today is is law. It follows suit that
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: elected officials are going to behave that way, which is
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: a win-win for them. They already wanted to behave that way.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Rules for thee and not for me. But now they
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: have voter support for it. Voters are like, yeah, you
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: know what? Arrest the people I don't like. Republicans say,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: I want to arrest all the Democrats. Democrats say, I
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: want to arrest all the Republicans. Podcasters say, I want
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: to arrest all the radio people. There's always some rivalry
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: that has to be settled with a misapplication of law.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: And it's permissible because we've written so many laws over
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: the last hundred years that if you look hard enough,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: you'll find one that you can apply. And it becomes
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: even more doubly difficult when you have international treaties that
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: And those treaties are like third-party catering agreements. The U.S.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: says we'll support you in your battle against Russia, Ukraine,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: and you can use Starlink. Elon Musk will help you.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: And then Elon Musk decides, I don't want to help
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: them anymore. I'm reminded of the seeing an animal house
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: where the kid's cousin's car or brother's car has been wrecked.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: And he's like, you beeped up. You trusted us. If
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: you say you can use something and then you decide
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: later you can't, there has to be a process. Process matters.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Law matters. Agreements matter. But right now we're playing it
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: fast and loose like we're a political version of Mean Girls.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: And I'm not saying this, that Ukraine should be able
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: to use Americans' Golden Dome technology. But if you say
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: you're going to do something, you really pretty much should
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: stick by that.
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: to TotalWellness.com. That's TotalWellness.com, where we are helping you to
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: look good, feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
• 23:01
  Speaker 11: In today's troubled world, our USA Armed Forces stand ready
• 23:04
  Speaker 11: to protect you, your family, and our American way of life.
• 23:08

  Speaker 5: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: I'm Dr.
• 24:13
  Speaker 18: Mitch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even

• 25:56
  Speaker 13: Oh, yeah?
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 25:59
  Speaker 8: And now a speech.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 26:05
  Speaker 11: Heart and brain.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Who's with me?
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 26:10
  Speaker 13: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 26:13
  Speaker 13: somebody call me a ride.
• 26:15
  Speaker 8: Love that guy.
• 26:15
  Speaker 17: Me too.
• 26:16
  Speaker 15: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 26:19
  Speaker 15: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.

  Speaker 14: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 26:25
  Speaker 14: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 26:29
  Speaker 14: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 14: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:36
  Speaker 14: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 26:40
  Speaker 14: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 26:46
  Speaker 14: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 26:49
  Speaker 14: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 26:53
  Speaker 14: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 26:55
  Speaker 14: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 26:58
  Speaker 14: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 27:02
  Speaker 14: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 27:05
  Speaker 14: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 27:09
  Speaker 14: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 1: We could tell you what six, seven means. Where's the
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: fun in that? First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: the Talk Media Network.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: And it's not just an American thing. We are moving
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: around and picking and choosing and acting as if everything
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: is a guarantee. And this becomes the existential root. President
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: Trump yesterday during the press gaggle expressing frustration with Ukraine.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: And you consider the trouble Ukraine has caused Donald Trump. Remember,
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: this is the Vindman whistleblowing incident. Trump spoke to Volodymyr
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Zelensky and wasn't supposed to. And they act like there
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: are some laws that govern who the president of the
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: United States can talk to and or when. And that
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: may be, but why is it sauce for the goose
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: but not the gander? And that becomes the hypocrisy of
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: it and then it filters down to the street where
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: we behave like you know what laws are more like
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: suggestions anyway and the lawlessness will become chaos and the
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: chaos will become a strong man authoritarian dictator And they'll
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: talk about free speech in the abstract of, you know,
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: come give us a reason why you need to speak
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: and we'll determine whether you should be able to speak
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: freely or not. We already have that. That's how college
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: campuses manage free speech. You have zones, you have areas.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: But the chaos is designed to make the premise of
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: the strongman, like Putin... who rose to power over the
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: chaos that fell in when Europe ignored the collapsed Soviet
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Union and allowed the criminal underground to just take over
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: like it was Chicago in the 30s. So Putin comes
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: along and starts knocking heads and says, come on knuckleheads,
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: we can all make money in this. But that's what
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: will happen here. I know that the cool kids like
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: to point to Paris and say, that's what's going to
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: happen here. That'll happen first. First, you'll wind up with
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: an American version of the French riots, and then you'll
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: have an authoritarian strongman rise up, declare that the presidency
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: is under a state of emergency. He might even wear
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: a toga to make it seem even more cesarean. and
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: that it's an existential threat to the American society. He'll
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: declare the Senate the seat of authority in the American government,
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: declare that Senate seats are heraldic now, and that'll be it.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: And then you'll have to get permission to pretty much anything.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: You can say goodbye to me. I'll be the first
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: one hung in the town square. Maybe the fourth. I
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: don't know. 434-882-4217. Commitments have to mean something or we
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: have anarchy. Good morning. Who's this?
• 32:09
  Speaker 18: Hey, this is Moscow Bob. I totally agree with you.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Well, that's a frightening thought.
• 32:16
  Speaker 17: Uh-oh.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: I better go back and check the audio recordings. What
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: did I say that you totally agree with?
• 32:21
  Speaker 18: No, you're talking about deals and commitments have to be
• 32:27
  Speaker 18: fulfilled on both sides.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. And if you're going to have to
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: break a commitment, there needs to be a legal process
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: for it. We see this with the climate change stuff.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: They treat the Kyoto Treaty like we have joined a
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: treaty and we never joined a treaty. The U.S. Senate
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: never voted for it, but we act like it's the
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: rule of law that governs everything we do. We have
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: to stop doing this. We have to start acting like
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: law means law.
• 33:01
  Speaker 18: But it's the rule of the law that the wealthy
• 33:03
  Speaker 18: don't have to follow, i.e. all the individual private planes
• 33:08
  Speaker 18: that fly into Duvas or whatever it's called.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the World Economic Forum, Al Gore's giant mansion.
• 33:19
  Speaker 18: And Al Gore and Barack Obama having these multi-room mansions
• 33:26
  Speaker 18: when there's only really two, maybe four people living there
• 33:29
  Speaker 18: that they don't need, which is wasting global electricity. What
• 33:34
  Speaker 18: I'm talking about with Zelensky and everything that's going on
• 33:38
  Speaker 18: in the United States, what's just happening now, you have
• 33:42
  Speaker 18: to look back at what has happened. What was the
• 33:46
  Speaker 18: original agreement that Zelensky had with Musk that had with
• 33:51
  Speaker 18: the United States? How is it that Ukrainian drones, i.e.
• 33:58
  Speaker 18: American drones, ended up in Indonesia, ended up with the
• 34:03
  Speaker 18: Taliban in Syria? That's how they overthrew Assad.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. I think Ukraine was making drones.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: I know Iran was as well. One of Ukraine's top
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: exporting industries was drone technology before the invasion.
• 34:22
  Speaker 13: Right.
• 34:23
  Speaker 18: So but my point is, if worse, if Ukraine supplying
• 34:27
  Speaker 18: drones to the Taliban. Why are we supporting Ukraine? Because
• 34:33
  Speaker 18: isn't Taliban considered a terrorist organization by the United States
• 34:36
  Speaker 18: and it's illegal to support them?
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Your point is exactly what I was saying is, I mean,
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: when are these things not just sternly worded suggestions?
• 34:47
  Speaker 18: It's all for propaganda purposes. It's all for propaganda. And
• 34:51
  Speaker 18: once again, the propaganda is all against Russia, unfortunately.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Well, but I mean, hang on a second. And I
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: know you're living in Moscow and I get it. But
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: you have to engage. I'm sure a kid who grew
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: up in Chicago, just like this kid who grew up
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: in New York, understands that, you know, an agreement is
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: an agreement. Russia had an agreement regarding Ukraine. And I
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: think they've played just as much fast and loose with
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: that agreement regarding Ukraine after they became an independent country
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: as they've played their role in this ignorance of the
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: law play just as much as anyone. Perhaps some could
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: make the case even more egregiously because their disagreement with
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: the law came with tanks and soldiers.
• 35:47
  Speaker 18: Well, yes and no. Their disagreement came with the law
• 35:51
  Speaker 18: when the CIA intervened and helped overthrow the Russian-backed president
• 35:56
  Speaker 18: so Ukraine could back a pro-NATO president.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, or you could go back a step further and
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: did Russia promote the out-migration into these regions to create
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: an ethnic majority. People are arguing the same thing that
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Scheinbaum is doing in Mexico into the southwest of the
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: United States.
• 36:22
  Speaker 18: Even goes back to the original election. Why was the
• 36:25
  Speaker 18: next people and the Crimea people excluded from casting votes?
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: That sounds like a dictatorship. But that's what I was
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: saying is that did Russia promote an out-migration into those
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: regions to create the scenario of this ethnic minority when
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: really they were sort of stationed there is the argument
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: that's made about the Donbass and Crimea.
• 36:58
  Speaker 18: Yeah, but actually just the opposite. Not so much of Crimea,
• 37:02
  Speaker 18: but Donetsk. You should have seen the export of people
• 37:09
  Speaker 18: that left Donbass Donetsk.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: Left back for Russia or?
• 37:16
  Speaker 18: They left back to Russia, yes. To Russia, to other
• 37:20
  Speaker 18: parts of the world. There was the people that could
• 37:24
  Speaker 18: leave that had access to people, say, in Kiev or
• 37:28
  Speaker 18: in Europe or in the United States or back in Russia.
• 37:32
  Speaker 18: There was a mass exodus of those that could leave.
• 37:35
  Speaker 18: When it happened, though, Ukraine would not allow males 14
• 37:41
  Speaker 18: years and older to leave.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: I've read that part of the story as well, but
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: this is all part and parcel of what I was saying.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: I've got to run, Bob. You have a good morning, sir.
• 37:51
  Speaker 14: I agree with you.
• 37:53
  Speaker 18: They both have to keep their commitments.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Spasibo.

  Speaker 21: At Hot Shot Secret, we share the science behind common
• 38:04
  Speaker 21: diesel problems and their solutions.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: For example, diesel fuel cetane levels.
• 38:08
  Speaker 21: In many states, the cetane rating in diesel fuel is
• 38:11
  Speaker 21: 42 to 45. Most diesel engines operate more efficiently with
• 38:15
  Speaker 21: a cetane rating of 48 to 50. One treatment of
• 38:18
  Speaker 21: Hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your cetane seven points,
• 38:21
  Speaker 21: increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts. Due to a
• 38:25
  Speaker 21: cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons and particulate matter in
• 38:28
  Speaker 21: your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of your diesel particulate filter.
• 38:32
  Speaker 21: Using Diesel Extreme generates 83% less DPF regenerations. The 6-in-1
• 38:38
  Speaker 21: Diesel Extreme formula also includes the most concentrated detergent on
• 38:42
  Speaker 21: the market, lubricity enhancer, water demulsifier, rust and corrosion inhibitors,
• 38:47

  Speaker 10: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled

  Speaker 12: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:02
  Speaker 12: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 12: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 12: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 12: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 12: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 12: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 12: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 12: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 12: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.

  Speaker 13: No word in the English language is less convincing than probably.
• 42:52
  Speaker 19: Are you sure we should get matching tattoos on our
• 42:55
  Speaker 19: first date?
• 42:56
  Speaker 13: Sure.
• 42:56
  Speaker 15: We'll probably stay together.
• 42:58
  Speaker 11: Probably?
• 42:59
  Speaker 19: It's been 23.
• 43:00
  Speaker 10: Minutes since I ate.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: I can probably swim. Uh, you should wait 30 minutes. Okay,
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: don't tell me what to do. Cannonball!
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: Cramp!
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: Oh, I have a cramp. I can probably hit the

  Speaker 3: Can I get a mulligan?

  Speaker 11: Ready to go?
• 43:27
  Speaker 8: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 43:35
  Speaker 13: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 43:39
  Speaker 13: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 43:42
  Speaker 13: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message
• 43:45
  Speaker 13: brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council.

  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: Thank you for joining us on this Ted's D morning.
• 44:27
  Speaker 17: Welcome to this nightmare. He's been coming back.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: So, story out of Sudan this morning. Civil war has
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: been gripping that place for three years now. And it's
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: not political civil war. It's ethnic civil war. It's religious
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: civil war. And 153 people were killed this morning in
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: a drone attack while they went to market. The market
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: was in South Sudan, which the Sudanese government wants back
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: into total Sudan. The market was struck for a fuel
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: depot that was nearby. The market is in Abyei, I
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: believe that's how it's pronounced, Abyei, which is very oil-rich.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: And this is why Sudan wants it back. So far,
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: this adds to a death toll that's in excess of 150,000 people.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: 13 million others are in, I'd like to call them
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: safety camps, but they're not safe. They're worse than some
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: of the horrors that take place in American homeless encampments.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: But I share this not because it's shocking. I mean,
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: this is kind of what's been going on in the Sudan.
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: It's a battle over resources. It's a battle over who's
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: in charge, and it's a battle that has been suborned
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: because there isn't a rule of law. And there's a
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: thing that buttresses rule of law, and it's the Second Amendment.
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: And I know that applying the U.S. Constitution to Sudan
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: is crazy. But when people have their own armaments— They're sovereign.
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: When they don't, they're slaves. Or serfs at best, if
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: you don't want to be a serf. Oh, it triggers me.
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: This is the difference. This is why Russia's two-week invasion
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: of Ukraine has dragged on to approaching five years now.
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: Because Ukrainians can fight back. and didn't need the army
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: to come fight back for them, they could fight back
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: on their own. So, you know, whether it's the political,
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: you know, machinations, I got a text message saying, this is,
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: Gene writes in, thank you for pointing out the out-migration.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: People leave that part out. It was exactly what the
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: Islamists are now doing in Europe and the United States
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: and We'll move enough people in and then just start
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: governing things our way. And it's about control. It's about resources.
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: And one of the problems with being a country based
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: mostly on ethical people and the concept of our country
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: to be ethical is is that we should be taking
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: the side of the people who need our help. You
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: go to the World War II Museum down in New Orleans,
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: you'll see the Liberation Pavilion there. And these are the
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: things that we as we the people strive for in
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: our elected leaders are our elected leaders, regardless of whether
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: we have a war or not, whether we have soldiers
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: in harm's way, that's a flimsy and false pretense-driven argument
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: used by the left to go after Trump and to
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: pry the Tucker Carlson types, who are peacenik hand-wringers of
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: the old 60s Russia-paid-for Soviet Union paid for activists. These
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: are the folks who would tell young girls just to
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: curl yourself up into a ball and pee yourself if
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: you're being sexually assaulted, as the University of Colorado did
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: to their co-eds, rather than saying, hey, how about you
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: learn how to fire a gun Or if you don't
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: like a gun, how about a burner? Or just you'll
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: learn to be really good with pepper spray. How about
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: you carry around a nightstick? Some sort of truncheon that
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: you can defend yourself with. Oh, no, that's violence. You
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: know what? This is why when they amended the Old Testament,
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: and changed the word from murder to kill, the beginning
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: of that perversion began. Because you are allowed to defend yourself.
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: You're commanded to defend yourself. God told us to defend ourselves.
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: God also told us not to try to murder ourselves,
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: but obviously, God felt like somebody needed to be told that,
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: which means people were doing it and people have been
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: doing it for time in memoriam long before there were firearms.
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: But in Sudan, the people are expecting the government to
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: protect them. And so when these two generals started fighting
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: over who was in charge of all this oil, I
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: have these guns, you have those guns. We watched it
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: in Venezuela. Who's got the police department? Who's got the army?
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: The army's fighting the police department. And this is why
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: it's important that our country be the place that lives
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: up to the rule of law, because we have to
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: be that shining city on the hill, the shining city
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: that says, Yes, you can fight City Hall. And you
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: can do it with law. You can do it with courts.
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: And if you need to, you can fight City Hall
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: because City Hall has gone out of control. But our
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: society has to be the exemplar. It's why we get
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: together every morning and we break down all these stories
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: because we need to be better. In order for America
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: to be great again, Americans have to be great again.
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: And that means not just, hey, I won, so too
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: bad on you. Process matters. Otherwise, you wind up like
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: Sudan and the South Sudan.
• 52:51
  Speaker 8: Crime across the country is at an all-time high. It
• 52:54
  Speaker 8: feels like even a family road trip is taking a risk.
• 52:57
  Speaker 8: We don't want the feeling of being unprotected and vulnerable.
