  Speaker 3: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: this morning. Each and every morning we gather up, tell
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: you what went on last night, and then give you
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: our analysis of it, chop it up into easily digestible gummies,
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: and then after the side effects have had a chance
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: to wear off, I want to find out how The
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: news of the day is impacting you where you are.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: You do that through our multitasker. You can call us
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: at 434-882-4217 or you can text message to that number.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Very easy, especially if you've got 18 things going on
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: because now is the last minute. I'll put that off
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: till later. Later has arrived. And so I know you're
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: crazy trying to get things either finished up or started up.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: And so we make it available to you. You just
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: holler something into voice to text and hit send. And
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: we'll do our level best to read your words into
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: the transcript of today's proceedings there. Do we have we
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: do transcript? I hope not. I've done some of the
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: turbo scribe things. We'll do an interview, and I want
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: to lift quotes out of it for the Daily Signal
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: pieces that I write. Have I mentioned to you that
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: I write for the Daily Signal? Me and Victor Davis Hanson,
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: we're like this. Just bloviate. But I will go there
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: and use that TurboScribe software to go through the recording
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: and transcribe it. And it, I mean, aside from punctuation,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: but I mean, I went to high school with people
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: who have just a tenuous grasp of punctuation anyway. But
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: it's a mess there. And it does, especially if it's
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: two males, has no idea where one ends and the
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: other begins. I'm sure there are other ones that if
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: you pay more, you get more. Generally, that's the way.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: The world works, unless you're Zorhan Mamdani, and then you
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: want to give more for those who vote more so
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: that you can reward them more and you can stay
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: in office more. And you can send more people to Washington. Fascinating.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: It's like somebody on your radio told you, Hakeem Jeffries,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: if the Democrats win the House, he's not necessarily going
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: to be the Speaker. Now there are stories saying the
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: same thing, but we'll get into that.
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: Meta.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Agreed to a $ 17. 1 billion settlement and will adopt child

  Speaker 3: the Seattle Seahawks to Vinod Khosla and his family, currently
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: part of the ownership group of the San Francisco 49ers.
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: Awkward.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: This is the story I thought we should have led with.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Giant flooding going on along the Nepal-China border. After a
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: glacier collapsed, flooding a river killed at least 168 people
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: already and 1,300 others are missing, including foreigners and pilgrims
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: to the Himalaya region. The Kremlin said Wednesday that CIA
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Director John Ratcliffe had been in Moscow and held talks
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: with counterparts from the GRU. Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Ratcliffe
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: did not meet directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who was,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: as Peskov says, of course, informed of all the things
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: said in the meeting. Premier Scott Moe of the province
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: of Saskatchewan has announced a 50% tariff on alcohol produced
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: in the United States. Saskatchewan and Alberta are the only
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: provinces that still sell American wine, beer, and spirits. Every
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: other province has removed those items. Trump administration facing growing
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: legal backlash over its efforts to tie federal public safety

• 6:44
  Speaker 3: breaking down the news of the day at DailySignal.com. My
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: most recent one coming up today is about the purges
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: of all the voters that are found, again, to be
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: inappropriately on our state's voter rolls. You know, it's true.
• 7:02
  Speaker 8: Difficult times have a way of focusing us. We have
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: to think about what matters most when it comes to
• 7:07
  Speaker 8: our spending, our healthcare. This is why so many people
• 7:11
  Speaker 8: are joining MediShare right now. MediShare is a trusted way
• 7:15

• 8:03
  Speaker 4: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: I'm Dr.
• 8:13
  Speaker 9: Mitch.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, Our optimized curcumin seems
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or at
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: least slow the spread of cancer. and in many instances,
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
• 9:02
  Speaker 10: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 10: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 10: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 10: will be arrested, if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:16
  Speaker 10: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 10: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 10: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 10: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 10: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:37
  Speaker 10: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 10: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 10: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 10: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: I'm Jack Hanna.
• 10:00
  Speaker 11: Since I was a boy growing up on a farm
• 10:01
  Speaker 11: in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only
• 10:05
  Speaker 11: in awe of their beauty and kindness, but also their
• 10:07
  Speaker 11: tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds who gather
• 10:09
  Speaker 11: supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes who work hard
• 10:13
  Speaker 11: to provide for their young. Or penguins, who travel up
• 10:15
  Speaker 11: to 500 miles to secure food for their families. Or
• 10:18
  Speaker 11: bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them to navigate the
• 10:21
  Speaker 11: trees and the wild in search of fruit. This remarkable
• 10:24
  Speaker 11: work ethic is shared by our best friends, the canines.
• 10:27
  Speaker 11: We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home, but
• 10:30
  Speaker 11: because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving work
• 10:33
  Speaker 11: every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort
• 10:36
  Speaker 11: returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They work
• 10:39
  Speaker 11: with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in their
• 10:42
  Speaker 11: blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly trained
• 10:45
  Speaker 11: roles that contribute to society.
• 10:46
  Speaker 12: And help those in need.
• 10:47
  Speaker 11: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 10:50
  Speaker 11: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 10:53
  Speaker 11: planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
• 10:59
  Speaker 13: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 14: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 12: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 12: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 11: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 13: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 14: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:28
  Speaker 15: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 15: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 15: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:39
  Speaker 15: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 15: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 15: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 11:51
  Speaker 15: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 11:54
  Speaker 15: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:58
  Speaker 15: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:00
  Speaker 15: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 12:04
  Speaker 15: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:07
  Speaker 15: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 12:11
  Speaker 15: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 12:14
  Speaker 15: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

• 12:27
  Speaker 15: 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

• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Talk radio just the way your mother used to make it.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:22
  Speaker 9: We drink.
• 13:25
  Speaker 14: Your health this morning. Mmm.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: I stopped in. We're going to be live from Common
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Grounds tomorrow. Our friends from the city elders governing the
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: city gates is their slogan, their motto. What's the motto you?
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: And their weekly get together there. And we'll talk about
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: why you don't have to. You don't have to equivocate
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: when you say you're a person of faith and you
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: gain your morality. which will counsel you when you're making
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: your decision. So join us, tune in for that. But
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: as big as, and it's interesting because depending on the
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: website that you go to for your news, there are sites,
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: you go to Newsmax, not a single word about the
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: meta settlement, not a word. Associated Press, barely an acknowledgement
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: of it.
• 14:45
  Speaker 12: Really?
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: This is as big as the tobacco lawsuit. And I
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: think there are ramifications beyond this. And you know that
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: I am a Third Amendment guy. These days, I am on, well,
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: there's a couple of things regarding the Bill of Rights
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: that I'm particularly nerdy about. First is that the 16th
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Amendment violates the Fifth Amendment. in taking my property without
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: due process and or just compensation, property being the monies
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: that I've earned that they take from my employer in
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: withholding taxes. I've already earned that money. It's my property.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: But that's, you know, I don't want to get that
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: one lost. But I am a Third Amendment junkie as well.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: in our modern world. And it began in, I guess
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: it was early 2011. I was reading the profile of
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: Mark Zuckerberg, who was Time Magazine's Person of the Year.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: I was visiting my wife's parents. And I was taking
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: the train back to Virginia from New York. And I said,
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: can I take that with me for the train ride?
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: And my father-in-law let me take his copy of Time Magazine.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: It was the Person of the Year. There was Zuckerbox
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: sitting on the cover. And I was reading the profile
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: and it was just, I mean, I was getting a
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: saccharine headache from it was just, oh, isn't he marvelous?
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Isn't he the apex of maleness in the new millennia?
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: This is a metrosexual here for sure. But there was
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: a part of the story that just stunned me. The
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: fanboy that they sent to write the profile was following around.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: What are we going to do now, Spike? What are
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: we going to do now? Kind of thing. They have
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: a foosball table here at Meta. Well, it wasn't Meta.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: It was Facebook. And the engineers are encouraged to play.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: Isn't this cool? This is before you started to get, like,
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: the nap pods and things like that. This was still
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: a novelty. Remember, this is 2010's person of the year.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: And in the story about Zuckerbox, just a little bit,
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: maybe third, fourth page into the profile, he's drooling over
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: how deconstructed their morning staff meetings are. And oh, and
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: everybody gets to have a say, and they go around
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: the room, and they're all drinking coffee, and none of
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: them are wearing neckties, and only one of them has
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: a suit jacket on, and he's the CFO.
• 17:49
  Speaker 12: And blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: And then in the midst of this narrative, he says,
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: and then the door bursts open to the meeting room,
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: and the head of the FBI announces to Mark Zuckerberg, Hey, Mark,
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: I'll be down in my office at the corner when
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: you guys are done. Come on down. And that was it.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Just a sentence about how, oh, look at how cool
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Mark Zuckerberg is. He has the head of the FBI
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: in a corner office. I'm sitting there on the Amtrak train,
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: the Joe Biden coach.
• 18:29
  Speaker 11: And.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: I sat there and I looked at it and went
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: back and I read it and went back and I
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: read it and I looked and I read forward. Nowhere,
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: I flipped around looking to see if there was a sidebar,
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: maybe not salient to this fanboy profile of their person
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: of the year, but maybe there was like a sidebar
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: story about why the FBI had an office at Facebook.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: And I went back to my handy dandy copy of
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: the Bill of Rights. And of course, the FBI didn't exist.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: But in the parlance of the day, these are officers
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: of the government, a.k.a. you could call them soldiers. And
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: I was pretty sure that I recalled that there was
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: a thing in the Bill of Rights saying that you
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: can't have soldiers stationed in your home. And there it is.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Third Amendment. No soldier shall in time of peace be
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: quartered in any house without consent of the owner. That's important.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: nor in time of war, but in a manner to
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: be prescribed by law. And I thought about it and
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: I said, well, hold on. So if I put, if
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: I'm using Facebook, there's a user agreement. Remember, this is 2010.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: We don't have apps on our smartphones or anything. But
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: I did click a user's agreement to set up my
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: account on Facebook to promote the radio show. Does that
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: constitute consent of the owner for them to technically now
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: be in my house through my Facebook page, now Instagram
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: and all these other places, all have the same third-party provisions.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: The owners of blah, blah, blah have the right to
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: share information about you and your use of their product
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: with third parties at their discretion. And that's usually the
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: text of these user agreements. And if you printed out
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: the user agreement for the average smartphone app on 8
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: 1⁄2 by 11 paper, it's probably as long as a
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: bill in the U.S. House of Representatives, several hundred pages long,
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: keeping in mind the Third Amendment is barely a sentence.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: And this meta-deal... I think has ramifications all the way through,
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: even though this is specifically about targeting children, collecting children's data,
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: providing an addictive product to children. All of those things
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: are certainly part of it, but the offshoot, I think,
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: can be since the children's private data was part of
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: the ruling, that we might be able to, if we
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: have smart lawyers, start pushing back on all of the
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: data collection. And I know you say, but Joe, weren't
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: you just saying that you don't have a problem with
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: AI and data sensors?
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: I have a problem with warrantless collection of data.

  Speaker 4: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch and nitric
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 22:41

  Speaker 4: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: I'm Dr.
• 24:13
  Speaker 9: Mitch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even

  Speaker 13: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah?
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 25:59
  Speaker 14: And now a speech.
• 26:02
  Speaker 12: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 26:05
  Speaker 12: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 26:08
  Speaker 11: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 26:10
  Speaker 14: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 26:13
  Speaker 14: somebody call me a ride.
• 26:15
  Speaker 13: Love that guy.
• 26:16
  Speaker 14: Me too.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 26:23
  Speaker 15: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 26:25
  Speaker 15: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 26:29
  Speaker 15: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 15: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:36
  Speaker 15: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 26:40
  Speaker 15: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 26:46
  Speaker 15: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 26:49
  Speaker 15: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 26:53
  Speaker 15: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 26:55
  Speaker 15: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 26:58
  Speaker 15: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 27:02
  Speaker 15: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 27:05
  Speaker 15: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 27:09
  Speaker 15: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 17: a brother like you.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Lucky?
• 27:39
  Speaker 18: Caring for my brother is far from easy. But he's

  Speaker 18: a part of me, like my arms and legs, so

  Speaker 18: I'll be his. No time for tired... Nothing can disable

• 28:11
  Speaker 1: From the home of the first amendment. First thing today.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: Tim Curry, for those who are wondering, had not passed away.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: until yesterday, at the age of 80, same as Dolly,
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: but had suffered a massive stroke, I guess about 10
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: years ago, and you could insert Mitch McConnell punchlines here
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: at your leisure there, but certainly a cultural figure. They
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: did manage, after his stroke, they did a remake of
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: Rocky Horror, and I think they They cast him as
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: the wheelchair-bound professor because he was wheelchair-bound at that point
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: and couldn't do it. Surprising casting as the doctor in
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: The Hunt for Red October. I never quite figured that
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: one out. I mean, I could figure... Sean Connery as
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: Marco Ramius. And I didn't get Alec Baldwin as Jack
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: Ryan until I saw Alec Baldwin play Jack Ryan. And
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, he gets it. He's a nerd who
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: doesn't want to do this. And all through the movie,
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: he's like, I don't want to be doing this. And
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: he was doing it anyway. I mean, you say what
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: you will about Alec Baldwin as a person, but in
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: that particular case. But I'm looking, I'm like, Tim, is
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: there another guy named Tim Curry in Hunt for Red Octobers?
• 30:18
  Speaker 16: What?
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: The ship's doctor. A moderately important role in the film
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: as well. there, but passed away yesterday at the age
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: of 80. This is a cultural footnote. By all means,
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: throw toast at the radio at this moment, by all means,
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: or a roll of toilet paper, whatever it is you
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: feel like you need to throw at the toilet paper,
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: because I know... See, Rocky Horror Picture Show is.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: One of those things that rarely people admit having gone
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: to go see, are you, are you old enough to
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: remember in, in, in the age of the streaming platforms
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: and all that, this, this bit of culture has gone away.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: But when movie theaters were kids, when movie theaters were
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: only two or four screens, it's a, think about that day.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: You know, when, I remember the first time the movie
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: theater in my hometown in Queens split into two theaters.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: And everyone was like, oh, my God. Every movie will
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: sell out. There's only like 70 seats. And they split
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: the theater into two screens and built a wall. And
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: then the next thing is they built a floor and
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: turned it into four screens. And at Johnny Bar the Door,
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: now we've got, what, 25 plexes. somewhere out in the
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: middle of nowhere where it used to be a football
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: stadium and nobody went to it, so they built a
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: movie theater there with 74 screens on it. But it
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: used to be, you know, midnight on Friday night was
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: the midnight movies. It was Rocky Horror, Song Remains the Same, Quadrophenia,
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: and then it would rotate Clockwork Orange, would show up
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: as a midnight movie every now and then. I'm trying
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: to remember all of them, but you all, if you're
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: of a certain vintage, you went, you might not tell
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: people now that you went to go see Rocky Horror
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: Picture Show, but you did. And it's okay. It's, you know,
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: it's just a piece of the culture that, And it existed.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: And to deny it is to deny reality. And if
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: you wanted that, you should have tuned to the progressive
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: talk station. Because here we deal headfirst into reality, even
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: if it's embarrassing here in retrospect to say, sure, I
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: went to go see the Rocky Horror Picture Show several times.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: And you say, well, culture, storytelling. We talked about storytelling
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: a little bit this week. In general, what role did
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: the Rocky Horror Picture Show play in society? I'm not
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: sure you can draw a lot into it. I think
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: some things you could look at. It's their own particular
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: telling of the Frankenstein myth. And science run amok. You
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: can imagine... dancing around in fishnet stockings in the Wuhan
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: Institute of Virology as they were, you know, in just
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: seven days, we can make you a virus. Previous iterations
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: of the virus riding motorcycles out of the freezer, whatever
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: it is. You can have some fun with it as
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: you think of the serious issues of the Wuhan Institute
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: of Virology. And sometimes that helps you process. Because when
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: it's just all doom and gloom, what's the phrase they
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: use for it? Are we still allowed to use the
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: phrase doomscrolling after the meta settlement? I mean, I don't
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: know who got custody of what in this settlement, but
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: the meta platforms, Facebook, Instagram, are the source of what
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: they refer to these days as doomscrolling. You just sit
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: there and you have this bad story after a bad story. Oh,
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: my God. And what happens is the algorithm doubles back
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: upon itself. So the more of the stories you stop
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: and watch, the more of them you get. And they
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: talk about the psychological impact on people when all they
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: see and it becomes this cyclical thing instead of just
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: being a feed of whatever's out there. Because they want
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: you addicted to the platform, they keep giving you what
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: you want. Bartenders are liable if they keep serving somebody
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: liquor after they've become noticeably incapable of handling themselves. If
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: you keep selling a drunk liquor just because they have money, you,
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: the bartender, your boss, the bar owner, is liable for
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: that behavior. I think some of that may have been
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: used in this meta case. Here's a divvy up of
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: some of the states that have benefited. California gets between $ 1. 5
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: and $ 2.
• 35:56
  Speaker 14: 2 billion.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: New York State gets $ 1. 1 billion, which they'll buy groceries
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: for Zorhan Mamdani with. Illinois, I don't know who you
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: hired as a lawyer, but it wasn't as good as California's.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: They get $ 768 million. Gosh, God, not even a billion?
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: They're getting just about as much as Tennessee, $ 752 million. Virginia,
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: where we are, gets $ 353 million, which Jay Jones promises to,
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know, target conservatives or something along those lines.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: Make sure conservatives aren't allowed on Facebook or Instagram. 1.1
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: million to American Samoa got in on this. There's a lawsuit.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: So some of the things that the meta deal does
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: to our daily time limit for children on both platforms is.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: I imagine that because this is a legal proceeding, there
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: are already people who are hacking around this idea. Midnight
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: to 6 a.m., there's a nighttime block. You know what
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: this reminded me of? The curfew during COVID, that you
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: were not allowed to be out of your house between
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: midnight and sunrise during COVID because apparently COVID only transmits
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: It's after midnight. It wasn't even after dark. It was
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: after midnight. It's like, oh, hey, guys, it's midnight. Time
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: to start flying around. Midnight? Why not 9 p.m. or
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: something like this? School mode notifications are restricted between 8 a.m.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: and 3 p.m. local time. 15 minutes of use will
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: lead to a timeout. These are some of the things
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: in the settlement.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: In a study, it was found that 33% of 44

  Speaker 19: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 19: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 19: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 19: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 19: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 19: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 19: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 19: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 19: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 19: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.

  Speaker 4: Wait, oh yes, wait a minute, Mr. Bozeman.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: Wait, hey, hey, hey, Mr.
• 44:29
  Speaker 9: Bozeman.
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: Mr.
• 44:31
  Speaker 15: Bozeman.
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: So the issue over mail-in voting continues to boil and roil,
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: and the president trying to do what Jimmy Carter told
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: him to do. We think about this a second. So
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: a Republican is trying.
• 44:53
  Speaker 19: To enact.
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: Policies that a Democrat said were necessary to secure voting.
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: And nobody wants this. So we're all gleeful about the settlement,
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: $ 17 billion settlement with meta platforms over data collection. But
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: we look the other way when we can't verify the
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: data that we have to have so that we know
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: that only citizens are voting. And I made this case
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: about this. We were talking with Ken Cuccinelli about the 6,300
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: Virginians that were purged, the 6,500 New Jerseyans. I asked him,
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: I said, is this, you know, the argument is always, well,
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: it's an insignificant number. And Ken pointed out something important
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: to me.
• 46:00
  Speaker 9: We saw that. My governor's race I lost in 2013,
• 46:04
  Speaker 9: but Mark Obenshain was in a race contested by far
• 46:11
  Speaker 9: less than the 6,500 margin.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: For Attorney General, yeah.
• 46:18
  Speaker 9: We saw that in 2005. I mean, I remember going
• 46:23
  Speaker 9: all the way back to my first governor's race, Doug
• 46:26
  Speaker 9: Wilder's race. He won by 6,000.
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: So you see, it is possible. By the way, that
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: attorney general's race was settled by 907 votes. So 65
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: or 6,300 in Virginia, 6,500 in New Jersey. It is
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: a significant amount of votes. We were talking about the
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: Supreme Court saying that the president can move forward with
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: his plan to withhold the ability, the use of the U.S.
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: Postal Service by states that won't verify the people who
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: are on the mail-in ballot list are actually citizens, are
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: actually alive, and aren't registered to vote anywhere else? Because
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: this is one of the things that Howard Baker and
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: Jimmy Carter pointed to as one of the reasons mail-in
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: voting is was so corruptible because the ballot goes to
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: Lord knows where. And we're discounting the baskets of mail
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: that are found on the side of the road. In
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: a post-motor voter world, which this is, motor voter was what, 93, 94?
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, so we've been doing motor voter, which is
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: where the DMV can automatically in some states register you
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: to vote, which of course, when they started saying, well,
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: we're going to give the non-citizens that are here illegally
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: driver's licenses so that they can, I don't know, get
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: to the job they're not supposed to have to make
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: a wage lower than Americans get paid. But they have
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: to have a driver's license to get there. So, and we,
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: warned of this at the time. So now you have
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: these automatic registrations, and this is what's led to the
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: 6500 New Jersey and the 6300 here in the Commonwealth
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: of Virginia and challenges all across the nation on this
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: mail-in voting, going to addresses of people who may or
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: may not still live there. And since states like Virginia
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: and so many others won't comply with the federal government
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: and sued against it, sued against being compelled to, I'm
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: pointed out, and the column that I wrote for the
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: Daily Signal, I'm not sure it's going to make it past.
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: It looks like they're happy with the way I wrote it.
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: I dropped some incendiary devices into it. because one of
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: the arguments that the states who are suing against this compliance,
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: this sharing of their voter rolls with the federal government
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: to check against citizenship and multiple jurisdiction registrations, is based
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: around state rights and that this is a state issue
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: and the state is the one that has the sovereignty
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: to decide who can or who can't participate. And I
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: don't know if they're going to let it fly past
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: or not, but I pointed out in this, that's exactly
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: what Governor Wallace was saying about public schools in Alabama.
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: And the federal government came in because it was a
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: civil rights issue, not a local sovereignty. It wasn't a
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: Ninth or Tenth Amendment issue. It was a civil rights
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: issue of a citizen of the United States. And there
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: are things that are held above the state's rights. This
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: isn't one of Alexander Hamilton's implied powers. The right to
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: vote and the right to have your vote protected as
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: a legal document, your legal covenant with the government, this
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: is a contract. This is me fulfilling my part of
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: my contract with my government, my vote. And if you're
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: going to cheapen it, you might as well just tear
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: up my deed at the county clerk's office. and let
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: somebody move in and squat the way they were in
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: Florida and say, well, it's a state's rights issue. No,
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: it's my civil rights, my civil right to have my
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: vote protected, to not have it diluted by somebody who's
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: not supposed to be voting. And that's where the federal government,
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: in my view, has this power, a text message.
• 51:35
  Speaker 9: Really?
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: You want Governor Wallace? Like I said, this is the
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: story as I filed it. The exact text is, the argument,
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: I write, is that it's a states' rights issue and
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: the federal government has no right telling them how to
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: do things in their states. You know, like Governor George
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: Wallace did outside that schoolhouse. It's just two sentences. It's
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: a happy couple of sentences. But I really believe that.
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: And as we go into Jim Crow 2.0 and what
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: happened in Georgia where actual minority participation in the election
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: went up after they reformed and got their elections rolls
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: cleaned up, even to the point that they had. Sure,
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: you have a right to demand your rights, especially if
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: it starts to become a right to an income or
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: a right to housing. You know, hey, you didn't rent
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: me your basement. I didn't know you wanted to rent
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: my basement. I'm suing you. You're going to jail.
• 52:51
  Speaker 13: Crime across the country is at an all-time high. It
• 52:54
  Speaker 13: feels like even a family road trip is taking a risk.
• 52:57
  Speaker 13: We don't want the feeling of being unprotected and vulnerable.
