Speaker 2: of service to you this morning, in and around here
0:38
Speaker 2: where we're not afraid to tell you what really is
0:41
Speaker 2: going on. We'll break down the news of the day
0:43
Speaker 2: into easily digestible chunks. But most importantly, I want to
0:47
Speaker 2: hear how it's impacting you where you are. You are
0:50
Speaker 2: the singular most important part of your local station. You
0:54
Speaker 2: are the local and and how is the news impacting you?
0:58
Speaker 2: Whether it be uh postal workers stealing gift cards out
1:02
Speaker 2: of the mailbox or election workers going to jail for
1:06
Speaker 2: committing election fraud. Did you see that story out of Connecticut?
1:10
Speaker 2: Yet more election fraud out of the nutmeg state. They
1:14
Speaker 2: put the nuts and nutmeg, don't they? But you know
1:17
Speaker 2: this is all stuff that we've been gas lit into
1:20
Speaker 2: believing never happens. Oh no, And then when they're caught
1:25
Speaker 2: doing it. Oh, well, it's an insignificant It couldn't possibly
1:29
Speaker 2: change and faster than you can say, nineteen twenty or
1:36
Speaker 2: twenty twenty. You've got cases of people phonying up ballots
1:44
Speaker 2: and we're supposed to believe that they've never done this before.
1:49
Speaker 2: This is all, this is new. I've never seen this before.
1:53
Speaker 2: Come on, I compare it to the people peeing on
1:57
Speaker 2: your leg. You've heard the expression, don't pee on my
1:59
Speaker 2: leg and tell me raining it's beyond that with some
2:02
Speaker 2: of these folks. They're peeing on our legs, telling us
2:05
Speaker 2: we have a bladder control problem and it really it's
2:09
Speaker 2: hysterical to me, but they do, and that's what happens.
2:13
Speaker 2: We'll get into all of that for you this morning,
2:17
Speaker 2: and including, but not limited to, this story of the
2:25
Speaker 2: stabbing there. Oh, and this story Brandon Cruz wrote to
2:31
Speaker 2: the Post about McPartland, the watchdog that wound up getting
2:36
Speaker 2: caught not being so much of a watchdog as much
2:40
Speaker 2: as a participant in corruption. Now is in jail teaching
2:43
Speaker 2: me what was that Will Ferrell movie Get Hard? Is
2:47
Speaker 2: that what this guy is doing, teaching these white collar
2:50
Speaker 2: criminals how to get hard? So when they're on time
2:54
Speaker 2: and finding out how Orange is not as complimentary as
2:57
Speaker 2: a five thousand dollars suit. They can deal with it. See,
3:02
Speaker 2: they really should just be in Minnesota where they'll have
3:04
Speaker 2: their rulings overturned. So here are our first things this morning.
3:10
Speaker 2: A judge in Minnesota, gob smackingly has overturned the seven
3:16
Speaker 2: point two million dollar medicaid fraud case. The Minnesota judge
3:23
Speaker 2: Hennepen County Judge Sarah West overturned this medicaid fraud. However,
3:35
Speaker 2: it has drawn national attention because yet again it's Minnesota
3:39
Speaker 2: looking the other way as taxpayer money is stolen. Senate
3:44
Speaker 2: failed to get anywhere on the healthcare issue. Now they've
3:47
Speaker 2: gone home, so it's left to the House of Representatives.
3:50
Speaker 2: Mike Johnson unveiled a Republican alternative late Friday as they
3:55
Speaker 2: look to extend temporarily the subsidies for premiums in the
4:01
Speaker 2: Affordable Care Act. The one hundred page plus bill centered
4:06
Speaker 2: on including expanding employer sponsored insurance options and increasing oversight
4:13
Speaker 2: of pharmacy benefit managers to reign in costs. President Trump's
4:19
Speaker 2: returned to the White housees having greater impact on voters
4:23
Speaker 2: in Europe. Than even here in the United States. According
4:26
Speaker 2: to a poll done by Politico. In Germany, fifty three
4:29
Speaker 2: percent of the people responded saying Trump's election was more
4:32
Speaker 2: important in Germany than the election of Chancellor Friedrich Mertz.
4:37
Speaker 2: In England, fifty four percent answered the Trump positive over
4:42
Speaker 2: the election of kuer Starmer. In France, it's a little
4:44
Speaker 2: more balanced. Forty three percent say Trump's win mattered more
4:50
Speaker 2: than the election of Emmanuel Macrone. California and eighteen other
4:56
Speaker 2: states have filed lawsuits seeking to block President Trump's one
5:00
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars fee on new h one B visas
5:04
Speaker 2: for foreign workers. The President was sued on Friday by
5:10
Speaker 2: preservationists who want the federal courts to halt the White
5:14
Speaker 2: House Ballroom project. The National Trust for Historic Preservation, a
5:19
Speaker 2: private organization, is asking the district court to block the
5:23
Speaker 2: White House Ballroom construction until it goes through comprehensive design reviews,
5:29
Speaker 2: environmental assessments, public comments, and congressional debate and ratification. Nearly
5:37
Speaker 2: two thirds of Americans, including more than half of Republicans,
5:40
Speaker 2: responded in the positive when they were asked should the
5:44
Speaker 2: government or is the government hiding there is cause of
5:48
Speaker 2: death in Jeffrey Epstein's case, but that's not what they
5:55
Speaker 2: ported the story to be about.

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

10:02
Speaker 11: I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only in alle
10:05
Speaker 11: of their beauty and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic.
10:08
Speaker 11: Just look at the birds who gather supplies to build nests,
10:11
Speaker 11: or Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
10:14
Speaker 11: or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
10:17
Speaker 11: secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
10:20
Speaker 11: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
10:22
Speaker 11: in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
10:25
Speaker 11: by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
10:28
Speaker 11: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
10:32
Speaker 11: they also perform life saving work every day.
10:34
Speaker 10: Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans,
10:37
Speaker 10: some of whom suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics,
10:40
Speaker 10: alerting them when there's a change in their blood chemistry.
10:43
Speaker 10: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
10:45
Speaker 10: contribute to society and help those in need. So please

13:14
Speaker 1: On your to do list, Putting the radio on is
13:16
Speaker 1: the first thing today.
13:34
Speaker 2: There's an email and it just jumped in on a
13:37
Speaker 2: subject we alluded to earlier in the program, and this
13:42
Speaker 2: state senator in Indiana saying that we're in a second
13:48
Speaker 2: American Revolution Maureen double dipping. She says, sorry for the
13:54
Speaker 2: second email, but what do you mean. We're still in
13:57
Speaker 2: the first Civil War? All right? Not to be labor
14:03
Speaker 2: because we've got a lot of stuff going on this morning,
14:07
Speaker 2: But if you look at all the things that transpired
14:11
Speaker 2: at the end of the last Civil War, and it's
14:15
Speaker 2: my argument that while this senator may sit there and
14:18
Speaker 2: say we're in a new civil war, I look at
14:21
Speaker 2: all the functionaries and I see what they're using and
14:24
Speaker 2: how they're using it, and I say, no, this is
14:27
Speaker 2: all the stuff that's been put into place since the
14:30
Speaker 2: last one. This is just that old civil war reigniting. Enough.
14:39
Speaker 2: Hot air has hit the side of the hill where
14:41
Speaker 2: we thought it was buried, and the embers have reignited,
14:48
Speaker 2: especially acute in the last ten years as we've been
14:51
Speaker 2: on this hell bent mission to remove the Civil War
14:56
Speaker 2: from our teaching, instead inserting one sided only discussions of
15:07
Speaker 2: how America is bad and everything else is good. Where
15:16
Speaker 2: if you tried to teach like that and say Russia
15:19
Speaker 2: probably wouldn't fly. I'm not saying it's as bad as
15:24
Speaker 2: it used to be in the Soviet under the Supreme Soviet,
15:28
Speaker 2: where there was no Russia before the Soviet Union. I'm
15:32
Speaker 2: saying that your comfort, as given by the protection of
15:37
Speaker 2: whatever country you live in, will go away. As soon
15:41
Speaker 2: as you start saying, yeah, but they're really bad people,
15:45
Speaker 2: they'll show you how bad they can be. But you
15:48
Speaker 2: look at several things that are at play, Maureen. First
15:52
Speaker 2: and foremost is the development of the entitlement state, and
16:00
Speaker 2: it begins in the nineteen tens. The technocracy movement that
16:05
Speaker 2: began after the Civil War, that was built and promulgated
16:11
Speaker 2: under the notion that if we had more professional government,
16:20
Speaker 2: if we had centralized government, these rogue states that went
16:25
Speaker 2: off and had slavery and all this wouldn't have been
16:28
Speaker 2: allowed to have it. So we had to find a
16:31
Speaker 2: way to avoid ever having this happen again. So the
16:35
Speaker 2: very people who brought it about, the Dixiecrats, using the
16:39
Speaker 2: North's interest in being seen as conciliatory, became the bombastic
16:48
Speaker 2: pushers of the nanny state. They realized that if we
16:57
Speaker 2: could take federal tax dollars directly from the citizens rather
17:01
Speaker 2: than the states, and this was one of the big
17:03
Speaker 2: ones because one of the driving factors in the last
17:07
Speaker 2: Civil War was the North couldn't afford to operate its
17:14
Speaker 2: nanny state that it had already begun without the South's revenue,
17:20
Speaker 2: without the tax collections coming from the South. And this
17:24
Speaker 2: was prior to income tax. But if all swath of
17:29
Speaker 2: the United States, say Texas and all these red states,
17:34
Speaker 2: all the flyover states secede, the US Treasury is going
17:42
Speaker 2: to have a big problem because those prosperous states are
17:47
Speaker 2: full of prosperous people who are paying a lot of
17:50
Speaker 2: large amount of money. So the driving force would still
17:53
Speaker 2: be there. But then you get the permanent actor of reapportionment,
17:58
Speaker 2: which leads us to Indiana. Anyway, because the nineteen twenty
18:02
Speaker 2: nine Act for Permanent Apportionment freezes the congressional size at
18:07
Speaker 2: four hundred and thirty five. Anyway, we did the math
18:12
Speaker 2: in nineteen thirty. There was where did I put my
18:16
Speaker 2: notes from yesterday? Because you're sort of having me jump
18:19
Speaker 2: back to yesterday's premises here. It is, so there were
18:24
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty two point eight million Americans in
18:28
Speaker 2: nineteen thirty when the Permanent Act for Apportionment went into effect.
18:35
Speaker 2: That is two hundred and eighty two thousand, two hundred
18:38
Speaker 2: and ninety eight persons for each congress person, and we
18:43
Speaker 2: will leave to the side what George Mason felt would
18:46
Speaker 2: be the most important tool to protect against out of
18:49
Speaker 2: control central government, which is a congressional representative each for
18:55
Speaker 2: what every fifty thousand people. But so in nineteen thirty
18:58
Speaker 2: it was two hundred eighty two thousand people per It
19:02
Speaker 2: is currently over seven hundred and fifty thousand per So
19:09
Speaker 2: if we just voided the Permanent Reapportionment Act and allowed
19:13
Speaker 2: apportionment of congressional seats to continue at that pace, you
19:21
Speaker 2: eliminate the redistricting. And by the way, that act was
19:26
Speaker 2: written by the southern Dixiecrats who were afraid of the
19:31
Speaker 2: black community gaining in power and wealth. See Black Wall
19:36
Speaker 2: Street and Tulsa and the Tulsa riots also happening long
19:40
Speaker 2: before any economic problems. Then you centralize the banks, and
19:46
Speaker 2: you see how this all turns bad. So all of
19:50
Speaker 2: these things that we're fighting with now, we're all laid
19:53
Speaker 2: into place in the response to the Civil War prime
19:58
Speaker 2: let's call it that. And so when you look at
20:06
Speaker 2: what they're pointing to now to say that we're in
20:09
Speaker 2: a new civil war, it's not driven on the same
20:17
Speaker 2: exact business model of slavery. But you have a group
20:21
Speaker 2: saying this indentured servitude that more than half the United
20:27
Speaker 2: States is now succumbed to has to stop a and
20:33
Speaker 2: we can't afford it. We're subsidizing it. But it's also dehumanizing.
20:40
Speaker 2: But as long as it's a government slavery, if it's
20:43
Speaker 2: a government indentured servitude, we're okay with it. I guess
20:49
Speaker 2: that's what I was getting at, Maureen when I said
20:51
Speaker 2: that we're still finding the same old civil wars, the
20:53
Speaker 2: same racist it's the same people that don't believe all
20:58
Speaker 2: portions of the population can get by on their own.
21:01
Speaker 2: Now it's brown skin, not just black skin. As we've
21:06
Speaker 2: brought in hundreds of people who don't understand how the
21:09
Speaker 2: country operates because well, we didn't feel like it was
21:12
Speaker 2: our obligation to tell them. So now they're here and
21:16
Speaker 2: they need work, but they can't find work because they
21:18
Speaker 2: don't know the rules protecting their employment, and so the
21:26
Speaker 2: indentured servitude to the state begins. But it's still the
21:31
Speaker 2: same group of slaves that a group of conservatives who
21:38
Speaker 2: believe in the Constitution and all men are created equal,
21:41
Speaker 2: endowed by their creator, with unalienable rights, none of which
21:46
Speaker 2: are housing, healthcare, or transportation. We want to free them,
21:54
Speaker 2: and the slave owners are fighting against us. It's the
21:57
Speaker 2: same civil war that we had in the eighteen hundred.
22:01
Speaker 14: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage. National League Training for Planet
22:04
Speaker 14: Fitness and the American Heart Association recommends that we all
22:07
Speaker 14: get at least one hundred and fifty minutes of moderate
22:10
Speaker 14: aerobic activity in a week's time. But here's the thing
22:13
Speaker 14: that one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to
22:15
Speaker 14: be super intense. As a matter of fact, it could
22:18
Speaker 14: just be you moving your body and doing what you
22:20
Speaker 14: already love to do, like exercise. And a stronger heart
22:23
Speaker 14: doesn't just mean cardio, right, it means also infusing your
22:27

28:49
Speaker 2: and we'll, you know, get into all of the details
28:55
Speaker 2: of the day. I want to circle back to some
28:58
Speaker 2: nuance to the story. So the judge, and this is
29:01
Speaker 2: getting conflated in the coverage. So the ruling that this Minneapolis,
29:06
Speaker 2: this Minnesota judge Ennepen County judge overturned is not the
29:11
Speaker 2: same one regarding the the COVID funding. This is a
29:22
Speaker 2: different ruling about white collar crimes. So just just I
29:26
Speaker 2: want to make sure there was some clarity on this
29:30
Speaker 2: that Minnesota judge it was a medicaid fraud case seven
29:38
Speaker 2: point two million dollars. But there are calls, and this
29:42
Speaker 2: is where the two stories kind of got together. There
29:44
Speaker 2: are calls for the in the Sharia courts of Minnesota
29:53
Speaker 2: that the ruling is unjust because what was being done
29:58
Speaker 2: was being done in the name of Allah, and that
30:03
Speaker 2: stealing and lying to and stealing from the infidel is permissible.
30:09
Speaker 2: As chip Roy said on the floor of the House yesterday,
30:14
Speaker 2: our founders.
30:15
Speaker 16: Did not envision a nation that remotely resembled today's Muslim
30:19
Speaker 16: world and the radical elements of Sharia. America was founded
30:25
Speaker 16: as a nation grounded in a distinctly Judeo Christian history
30:29
Speaker 16: and understanding of human nature. It was the United States,
30:35
Speaker 16: it was Great Britain that led the ending of slavery.
30:48
Speaker 16: John Adams said, one great advantage of the Christian religion
30:50
Speaker 16: is that it brings the great principle of the law
30:53
Speaker 16: of nature and nations to the knowledge, belief, and veneration
30:57
Speaker 16: of the whole people. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams hinted
31:02
Speaker 16: at the incompatibility of America's Republican virtues with the values
31:06
Speaker 16: of Muslim nations. After meeting with the Islamic ambassador about
31:10
Speaker 16: the Barbary states inclination to make war upon nations that
31:14
Speaker 16: did them no wrong after they were informed it was
31:16
Speaker 16: a requirement of the Qur'an.
31:21
Speaker 2: So how do you how do you assimilate that? Well,
31:25
Speaker 2: you say, and this is where folks like doctor Zudi
31:29
Speaker 2: Jasser are so important to this, because you have to
31:32
Speaker 2: And and here's the message. And I brought this up
31:36
Speaker 2: earlier regarding you know, there are tenants of our Judeo
31:40
Speaker 2: Christian faith that you know, we we have put aside.
31:48
Speaker 2: I'm going to just say it that way, and that
31:53
Speaker 2: Muslim men and women who come to this country have
31:56
Speaker 2: to understand that the things that they may believe their
32:01
Speaker 2: faith tells them to do have to be put aside
32:05
Speaker 2: if they want to live here. And if you don't
32:11
Speaker 2: want to do that, then you don't have to live here.
32:16
Speaker 2: And this all chip Roy is saying about the Pause Act,
32:18
Speaker 2: which is that we should pause for a little while
32:25
Speaker 2: and make sure the people that are here understand what
32:30
Speaker 2: they have the right to do and what they don't
32:32
Speaker 2: have the right to do. Because claiming religious freedom means
32:41
Speaker 2: I can stone someone to death because they worked on
32:43
Speaker 2: the Sabbath. And that's where we don't And this is
32:51
Speaker 2: where the civil libertarian and the obscurers want to hide,
32:56
Speaker 2: is in this idea that we have religious freedom. Yes
33:00
Speaker 2: you do, Yes, you do until it impacts someone else.
33:04
Speaker 2: Until it impacts someone else, you don't have the right
33:08
Speaker 2: to force somebody to do what you want them to do.
33:15
Speaker 2: A couple of other things, you know. And this is
33:18
Speaker 2: again the battle of words over what's going on in Ukraine.
33:23
Speaker 2: We keep hearing that, oh, a breakthrough is near, breakthroughs near.
33:26
Speaker 2: Yuri Ushikov said Friday, no peace until Ukraine gets out
33:31
Speaker 2: of the dawn Bass. President Trump and Steve Witkoff keep saying, well,
33:37
Speaker 2: what we're going to do is we're going to have
33:39
Speaker 2: like this free peace economy zone. And Russia is like, no,
33:46
Speaker 2: we're not, No, we're not. That's part of Russia. And
33:50
Speaker 2: here here in lies the problem with this is that
33:52
Speaker 2: Russia is convinced that Ukraine should never have been let out.
33:58
Speaker 2: This is the problem. This is the essence of the
34:03
Speaker 2: hang up is that Putin at al don't recognize Ukraine's
34:11
Speaker 2: existence even though they signed the treaty. And rule of
34:17
Speaker 2: law dictates that if your country signed a treaty and
34:20
Speaker 2: you weren't present at the time, it's still a binding treaty.
34:24
Speaker 2: Otherwise there is no rule of law. Otherwise you have
34:28
Speaker 2: Venezuela and the crazy people that are going on down there, singing,
34:33
Speaker 2: don't worry, be happy.
34:36
Speaker 22: Did you read the article on this is a global war?
34:40
Speaker 22: You didn't even know what's happened where we're interdicting the
34:44
Speaker 22: drug boats before they get to the ships that take
34:48
Speaker 22: them to North Africa where they're moved through the Mediterranean
34:56
Speaker 22: to Europe. Yeah, and somehow or other, miraculously, Uh, there
35:01
Speaker 22: seemed to be a lot of UH coups taking place
35:04
Speaker 22: in the countries where they get moved through northern Africa.
35:11
Speaker 22: And then there's a concerted effort by the carbonary in
35:15
Speaker 22: Italy right now, and uh, France is actually cracking down
35:21
Speaker 22: on the distribution networks. So the whole global drug trade there.
35:28
Speaker 2: Most not just drugs. I mean this the tanker we interceded,
35:31
Speaker 2: I mean you, I'm sure you've read all about the
35:34
Speaker 2: the way they were spoofing their signal to make it
35:37
Speaker 2: look like they were in Guyana.
35:39
Speaker 18: Uh.
35:39
Speaker 2: And then they and they only caught them because the
35:42
Speaker 2: ships started to zigzag like a wave runner instead of
35:46
Speaker 2: a giant oil tanker. And that's when somebody said, I
35:49
Speaker 2: think something's going on here, and they traced it and
35:52
Speaker 2: they're called, uh, these ghost freighters barely barely safe to
35:57
Speaker 2: be out in the ocean, but they're carrying all this
35:59
Speaker 2: illicit oil from Venezuela, which it's I mean, it's their
36:02
Speaker 2: number one industry. But when they could you know, become
36:06
Speaker 2: the enemy, you know, a rogue state and they've got
36:09
Speaker 2: sanctions on them, they're trying to sneak their contraband out
36:14
Speaker 2: and that may be their biggest contraband, not the drug trade.
36:19
Speaker 22: Well, regime change there is going to adversely affect uh,
36:25
Speaker 22: definitely Iran and China as well. So I don't know,
36:32
Speaker 22: just the grand flight on the global stage, I think.
36:35
Speaker 2: Well without question there, but I mean it is a
36:38
Speaker 2: simple game when you stop and you realize what is
36:44
Speaker 2: your position and go back to Jefferson and the Barbary pirates.
36:49
Speaker 2: So we had American ships with American goods, not American
36:53
Speaker 2: government ships. These weren't not Navy ships being attacked by
36:57
Speaker 2: the Barbary pirates because they said, well, you're the infidel
37:00
Speaker 2: and we're going to take your stuff. Now. Was that
37:03
Speaker 2: strict interpretation of Islamic text or was it a convenient
37:08
Speaker 2: excuse to get you try to get the Americans who
37:11
Speaker 2: didn't know too much about their religion to take a
37:16
Speaker 2: pass on it. Keith Ellison, Attorney General of Minnesota, was
37:24
Speaker 2: sworn into Congress on Thomas Jefferson's copy of the Koran.
37:29
Speaker 2: What mister Ellison forgot to point out was Jefferson had
37:32
Speaker 2: that so that after having this interaction with the king
37:36
Speaker 2: of the Barbary Empire, he could read up on what
37:41
Speaker 2: this was he was saying. And Jefferson didn't enact any blockages.
37:46
Speaker 2: He just said, we have to maintain that if you
37:51
Speaker 2: want to come to this country, you have to abide
37:54
Speaker 2: by our laws while you practice your faith.

38:32
Speaker 13: its risk factors. Efforts led by the American Heart Association
38:35

Speaker 22: You should wait thirty minutes.
43:08
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll tell me what to do.
43:09
Speaker 2: Can it bar.
43:12
Speaker 15: Cramp?
43:13
Speaker 6: Oh?
43:13
Speaker 2: I have a cramp. I can probably hit the green
43:18
Speaker 2: from here?
43:19
Speaker 1: Probably? Can I get a Mulligan.
43:26
Speaker 2: Ready to go?
43:27
Speaker 12: Hey?
43:28
Speaker 17: Are you sure you're okay to drive?
43:30
Speaker 10: Yeah?
43:30
Speaker 17: I'm pretty sober.
43:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
43:35
Speaker 4: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
43:39
Speaker 4: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
43:42
Speaker 4: or a friend. Buzz driving is drunk driving. A message
43:45
Speaker 4: brought to you by NITSA and ad Council.
43:48
Speaker 17: You know the legal drinking age is twenty one. You
43:51
Speaker 17: may also know this law protects teens. Find out more
43:54
Speaker 17: at Don'tserve Teens dot gov. A message from the We
43:57
Speaker 17: Don't Serve Teens program and the Federal Trade Commission.
44:12
Speaker 1: Amaze your friends here in First Thing Today by Joe Thomas.
44:27
Speaker 2: So messaging on the issue, and this goes back into
44:31
Speaker 2: what happened in New Jersey and Virginia in the election
44:35
Speaker 2: cycle that we watched to route in statewide offices. Is
44:43
Speaker 2: it is becoming apparent that saying what chip Roy said is,
44:51
Speaker 2: though correct, not a slogan that people are going to
44:56
Speaker 2: run to the polls on. So how do you take
44:59
Speaker 2: the true uisms of what the Pause Act is about
45:04
Speaker 2: and create messaging because you know, once the Pause Act exists,
45:09
Speaker 2: the Marxists, the authoritarians will use it to drive up
45:14
Speaker 2: Oh they're trying to get it's the same rhetoric of
45:18
Speaker 2: the No Kings rallies. Oh they want to round up
45:21
Speaker 2: all the brown people in our neighborhood. Are they citizens?
45:24
Speaker 2: They're brown people in our neighborhood. Why must you argue
45:27
Speaker 2: with me all the time? So the conservative has to
45:33
Speaker 2: message better It's not just that we have all these
45:38
Speaker 2: folks who want to destroy the very things that made
45:44
Speaker 2: the country what it was to come here.
45:55
Speaker 9: It is.
45:58
Speaker 2: A perversion of the very things that had led to
46:01
Speaker 2: our prosperity in the first place. If the argument is
46:11
Speaker 2: that folks want to emigrate to the United States for
46:14
Speaker 2: our prosperity, why would we turn our backs on the
46:18
Speaker 2: things that create that prosperity. Individual rights the right to
46:24
Speaker 2: work for who you see fit. But we also have
46:27
Speaker 2: to do a better job of selling it to somebody
46:29
Speaker 2: who's got trouble, you know, like the postal worker on
46:33
Speaker 2: Long Island stealing Christmas cards and taking the gift cards
46:38
Speaker 2: out of them. A text message came in after we
46:40
Speaker 2: reported on that story, saying, do you know how little
46:43
Speaker 2: a postal worker makes? They can't afford to live on
46:46
Speaker 2: Long Island. He was just doing survival crime. Joe, Come on,
46:51
Speaker 2: I think you're tweaking me with that, but I get it.
46:53
Speaker 2: I mean I looked up though a postal worker on
46:56
Speaker 2: Long Island makes like fifteen dollars an hour. That's not
47:00
Speaker 2: for a two bedroom apartment, and they don't rent apparently
47:04
Speaker 2: one bedroom or studio apartments anymore, which I think is interesting,
47:10
Speaker 2: or they don't approve them in their zoning laws because
47:14
Speaker 2: we want families. It's funny. I was told ten years
47:20
Speaker 2: ago we don't want families moving into our communities because
47:23
Speaker 2: they bring children, and the children are a burden on
47:25
Speaker 2: our school district, which just means we're going to have
47:28
Speaker 2: to raise taxes, but we will watched. Is a very
47:35
Speaker 2: legitimate case that Lieutenant Governor Sears was making about stopping
47:41
Speaker 2: transgender mutilations and indoctrinations and recruitment drives, to stop allowing
47:51
Speaker 2: boys into girls' bathrooms. But the percentage of population was
47:55
Speaker 2: so small that that impacted. It didn't drive the needle.
48:04
Speaker 2: Can I pay my mortgage? Can I pay my grocery bill?
48:08
Speaker 2: Can I live another day? This was what the Democrats
48:14
Speaker 2: were messaging on, So we the conservative voices of the world,
48:19
Speaker 2: need to message better. Was stop the steel technically a
48:30
Speaker 2: true statement, or you know, was it a much more
48:35
Speaker 2: nuanced you know, the election perversion was done in this
48:40
Speaker 2: way and this way and this way, and that caused
48:42
Speaker 2: the fraudulent posts. But that's not a good bumper sticker,
48:44
Speaker 2: is it? And so somewhere in between stop the good
48:48
Speaker 2: bumper sticker and the realities of the things we know.
48:55
Speaker 2: We have to get better otherwise we're done. It doesn't
48:58
Speaker 2: matter how good your ideas are. If nobody is listening
49:01
Speaker 2: to them, it doesn't matter. And I think to a
49:10
Speaker 2: small degree, ardently blindly conservative talk radio talk radio that
49:17
Speaker 2: doesn't look at an issue and say, Okay, this is
49:19
Speaker 2: messed up. Like Trump owning twenty five our of the
49:23
Speaker 2: United States owning twenty five percent of Nvidia and then
49:26
Speaker 2: going after all the states for trying to regulate AI
49:30
Speaker 2: on their own.
49:31
Speaker 9: Hmm.
49:33
Speaker 2: This is why the US government should have own parts
49:35
Speaker 2: of companies. We have to have an honest accounting of
49:45
Speaker 2: what's going right and what's going wrong in the world.
49:47
Speaker 2: Because the danger of I'm against it, the Groucho Marks
49:54
Speaker 2: political paradigm makes no matter what you say, make no
50:00
Speaker 2: difference anyway, whatever it is, I'm against it, because that's
50:05
Speaker 2: how you wind up being four things that you would
50:08
Speaker 2: never have been for before. And I think this is
50:11
Speaker 2: the not a flaw, but a feature in the way
50:15
Speaker 2: the American political parties have allowed the extremism to take
50:21
Speaker 2: center stage. Therefore, either you're all the way over here
50:25
Speaker 2: or you're all the way over there. And if you
50:27
Speaker 2: question anything all the way over here on the right,
50:30
Speaker 2: then you're automatically all the way over there on the
50:32
Speaker 2: left for simply questioning one little bit of what was
50:36
Speaker 2: going on on the right, and vice versa. If you
50:39
Speaker 2: question one thing going on on the far left, you're
50:43
Speaker 2: automatically out infidel or you know, unclean, and you're thrown
50:52
Speaker 2: into the mix with the other guys. We live in
50:55
Speaker 2: this all or nothing binary craziness. So the messaging has
51:02
Speaker 2: to be, here's how you can get along. What's the
51:04
Speaker 2: conservative answer to making more money, having more choices in marketplace,
51:10
Speaker 2: having a more competitive landscape for business, having more jobs
51:14
Speaker 2: so you can pick and choose the one that pays
51:16
Speaker 2: you the best and fulfills you the best. That's why
51:21
Speaker 2: I've said, year after year after year, when a conservative
51:26
Speaker 2: or a Republican claims I'm pro business, that doesn't mean,
51:31
Speaker 2: though you may think it means they're a free market capitalist.
51:40
Speaker 2: So we've got to be careful of everything because you're
51:43
Speaker 2: being herded into places because of this fixation with democracy
51:50
Speaker 2: is our friend, Ray calls it democratsy where everybody votes
51:56
Speaker 2: for everything else. We vote on what kind of shops
51:59
Speaker 2: we can have on the downtown mall. We vote for
52:02
Speaker 2: what color cars can drive up and down our main street,
52:05
Speaker 2: We vote for what sort of businesses we want in
52:08
Speaker 2: the shopping district, and we enforce it with the authoritarian
52:19
Speaker 2: state coming in saying, well, you didn't get enough votes
52:25
Speaker 2: in the planning commission, so we're going to pull your ticket.
52:29
Speaker 2: It is a hand in glove, soft core version of
52:34
Speaker 2: what Nicholas Maduro is doing in Venezuela, without the ghost ships.
52:38
Speaker 2: Of course, happy happy, yeah, that's all right, so long
52:49
Speaker 2: and thanks for all the fish.
52:51
Speaker 13: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
52:53
Speaker 13: compression of spinal nerves. According to doctor Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
52:57
Speaker 13: California based chiropractor with more than three years of experience,
53:01
Speaker 13: this compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury,
53:05
Speaker 13: or simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
53:09
Speaker 13: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
53:12
Speaker 13: the neck and back. Doctor Fisher explains his inventions, the
53:16
