• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Quickly on a need to know basis, because you need
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: to know the first thing today.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Your words at steal me stem.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: You have a day at least for work when the
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: sun comes up, drops a kid into school of nights.
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: Joey has everything a jam do all the choses.
• 0:22
  Speaker 5: Seven needs no one that Joe's as smile He only eggs.
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: Cleez, never be Joe.
• 0:32
  Speaker 6: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:34
  Speaker 6: this morning. Joe, your favorite wind bag now is full
• 0:42
  Speaker 6: of wind. After a day of battling whatever it was
• 0:46
  Speaker 6: that was uh constricting the pipes yesterday, we are at
• 0:51
  Speaker 6: full song here this morning at four three four eight
• 0:54
  Speaker 6: eight two four two one seven. We had good stuff yesterday,
• 0:58
  Speaker 6: and I'm glad you sat through the bumps and rumps
• 1:02
  Speaker 6: of the scratch. But you know, I was told we
• 1:06
  Speaker 6: did okay, which I mean, you know, in the world
• 1:09
  Speaker 6: of talk radio, that's a rave. You did okay. Mark
• 1:14
  Speaker 6: Levin didn't trash you, Megan Kelly didn't trash you. So
• 1:17
  Speaker 6: you did all right, unless that's what your goal is
• 1:21
  Speaker 6: is to get somebody who you know, claims some notoriety
• 1:25
  Speaker 6: to bash you, you know, And sadly this is a
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: little bit of what the podcast universe has become. Rather
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: than just being a place where people are doing interesting
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: stuff that you know other people might not have done,
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: it's become a hey dig me kind of landscape. And
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: it reminds me a lot of shock jock radio from
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: the nineteen eighties and nineteen nineties, sort of driven by
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: Howard Stern remarkably, and you know where it was just
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: say something so you know, off putting, whether you stand
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: behind it or not, and you know people will cover it,
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: you know mostly, and people got tired of it after
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: a bit, as should be. You know, it's it's just
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: you know, so when Megan Kelly bashes the people at
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: America Fest and then Mark.
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: Levin bashes her, and it's it's, you know, par for
• 2:40
  Speaker 7: the course.
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: It's almost the cost of doing business, because that's what
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: you know, this is all devolved into.
• 2:46
  Speaker 8: Now you would set about disrupting the class by attracting
• 2:53
  Speaker 8: attention to yourself.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: That is the name of this job. You know, it's
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: called me.
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: Is there a Windows update that we haven't done yet?
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: I don't want this to crash our whole system in
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: the middle of the show, but everything is just wonky
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: and clunky. This morning, and it's just that, you know,
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: not that I know a damn thing about computers. You
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: you probably in the same world as me. But when
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: when the computers start acting like this, it's like either
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: Windows needs an update or Windows is about to just
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: go pift into the night on you, which neither is
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: a great scenario. The update can be handled most of
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: the time during a commercial break. Most of the time.
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: That isn't until it doesn't come back, and then you're
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: sort of on on the creek without a paddle, as
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: they say. But we will sally forth and maybe during
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: the break we will see if Windows needs a little
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: TLC this morning. Our first things though, Yeah, you see
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: what I mean. It's just like you could drive a
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: truck through that. President Trump said Monday it would be
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: smart for Venezuelan and President Nicholas Meduro to step down
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: as US naval forces pressed a blockade on the South
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: American country's oil wealth. He said during a four point
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: thirty press conference with Secretary of War Pete Hexath and
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: Navy Secretary that the Venezuela's key ally, Moscow, has expressed
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: full support for Maduro's government, as Washington is dialing up
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: its military operations to enforce sanctions on Venezuela's oil. The
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: FCC announced Monday that it would ban new foreign made drones,
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: citing national security concerns. The FCC said it was adding
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: uncrude aircraft systems that's what they're called, and their critical
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: components that are made in China and other foreign countries
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: to its covered list that features equipment that has been
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: determined to pose unacceptable risk to US national security and
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: the safety of Americans. A group of ninety eight Minnesota
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: mayors have raised concerned with state leaders in a letter
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: about their fiscal policies, saying that they've impacted their cities
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: and their residents, Noting a disappearing eighteen billion dollar surplus
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: and a projected three billion dollar deficit in the twenty
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: eight twenty nine budget. In a letter to state lawmakers
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: and Governor Tim Walltz, the ninety eight mayors expressed concern, frustration,
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: and the state was slipping in national economic rankings. Fraud,
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: unchecked spending, and inconsistent fiscal management in Saint Paul have
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: trickled down to our cities, reducing our capacity to plan responsibly.
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: President Trump announced Monday plans for a new US Navy
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: warship called the Trump Destroyer. It's part of a broader
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: initiative he calls the Golden Fleet. According to people familiar
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: with the plans, it's a larger battleship than the current
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: fleet that's operation in the US Navy. Food and Drug

• 8:07
  Speaker 10: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 10: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 10: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 10: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 10: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  Speaker 10: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 10: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 10: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51

  Speaker 12: Hi everybody, I'm Jack Hannah. It's always a boy growing
• 10:01

  Speaker 12: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29

  Speaker 3: first to notice when a veteran you love has been

  Speaker 1: Amaze your friends here in First Thing Today by Joe Thomas.
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it hasn't helped me. So Brendan Carr and I
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: don't do this just to get a little you know,
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: scare tactic on. Brendan Carr is the chairman of the
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: Federal Communications Commission and is wrong again because Brendan Carr
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: wants to control speech. Brendan Carr wants to eliminate the
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: First Amendment, and he's doing it in the same way
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: all those governors like Tim Walls and Ralph Northam took
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: away your right to do business under the licensure. Prince,
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: So Brendan Carr at the Federal Communications Commission yesterday was
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: saying that broadcasters have an obligation to serve the public interest.
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: Testified before Congress, the FCC is working to empower It's
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: always one of those words that makes me itch empower
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: local broadcasters to serve the public interest and meet the
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: needs of their communities. So if I was a congressman
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: on this committee, I would have said, what is the
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: commercial reason that they wouldn't what possibly could be the
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: case to be made? And I remember, this guy wants
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: big corporate ownership and more centralized broadcast. But if I
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: was a congressman, I would have said, so, why wouldn't
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: somebody want to serve their community's interests? Because I don't
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: see the commercial upside in not serving your listener's interest.
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: You want them to listen to you, so you play
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: the songs they like. You give them the news they
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: need to hear, You tell them the traffic they need
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: to hear. And that's serving community interest what Brendan Carr
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: is talking about, because he says later he starts talking
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: about podcasters and cable channels, all these things that are
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: outside of the FCC's tendrils. He said to Congress. Specifically,
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: broadcasters are required by both the Communications Act and the
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: terms of their FCC issued licenses to operate in the
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: public interest. This is done and was done during the
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: communist scare of the McCarthy era. But we'll get further
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: into that. This sets them apart from cable channels, podcasts,
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: streaming services, social media, and countless other types of distributors
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: that have no public interest obligation. Yeah, Brendan, and that's
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: why all of them call us broadcasters to help pimp
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: their product. Beware of this guy. And I know he's
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: a Trump guy. I know Trump appointed him, and maybe
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: this is you know, Trump wants to regulate, but what
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: he's trying to do is get his control over podcasts
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: and cable casts and more strict control over these broadcasts,
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: when what he should be worried about is the provisions
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: that protect Facebook and x and Instagram from the same
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: legal obligations that we have. Screw the FCC regulations. We
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: can be sued if we say something libelous on our broadcast. Brendan,
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: get back in your lane and protect my storefront. Period.
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: This is the Federal Communications in its infancy, was designed
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: to protect your spectrum. So if you wanted to put
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: a transmitter on in a town, they would license your
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: frequency and therefore nobody else in your town or the
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: surrounding area could sign on to that frequency and damage
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: your ability to broadcast and to reach your listeners. Period.
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: That was it, and Mission Creep that great villain in
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: American Life mission creep. Over years, people said, well, we
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: can control what is being said on these airwaves because
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: we give them a license to it, and by their
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: mischaracterization of the license, see the FCC license for a
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: radio station is more like a deed than it is
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: a permission. But guys like Brendan Carr thug up using
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: it and say, well, take away your license if you
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: don't say the things we want you to say. And
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: you know, I don't have a problem with Donald Trump,
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: but the next FCC chair might be working for Gavin
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: Newsom and he might have a problem with this program.
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: So I want guys like this put back in their lane.
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: And so far nobody in Congress seems interested in doing that.
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: But what he wants, and that's why I've read the
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: part of his testimony about cable and podcasts and streaming services. Brendan,
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: how about you protect us from the crazy ass stuff
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: that just gets said all over social media by making
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: sure that they can be sued just like me. And
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: I'll worry about my public's interest. And I'm sorry this
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: guy believes that it's up to the government to protect
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: you from the evil do us. This guy should have
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: worked for Biden the way he talks, not just because
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: we're on broadcast radio stations around the country. It's because
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: I've devoted my life to broadcasting and serving the public
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: interest is not something I do because the law says so.
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: It's it's because it's good business. And that's why the
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: FCC protects my storefront, which is what I that's the
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: analogy I draw my FCC license and the FCC license
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: of any of the stations that carry us. Is a
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: storefront is a is a shop where you can stop
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: by and get what you need for your news, your weather,
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: your traffic. You go to the one down the street
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: for your hot hits, greatest hits of the fifties, sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties,
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: and today it's yacht rock one oh one, whatever it
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: might be. You can shop around and find the things
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: that serve your needs. And all the FCC is supposed
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: to do is make sure that nobody else in the
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: town shows up and sets up shop either in my
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: store or in front of my store to keep people
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: from getting to it. Period. But over the years, and
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: he goes into it in his testimony, the broadcast hoax
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: rule the news distortion policies. It's political equal opportunity regulation,
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: which by the way, is not there anymore. And is
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: he talking about bringing back equal time? And that's what
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: really red flagged this for me, Sorry, Pam Bondy. So
• 21:47

  Speaker 18: Hey, I'm Brandt and her name is Shay I love.
• 22:04
  Speaker 18: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
• 22:06
  Speaker 18: for because of a surgery. She just went through.
• 22:09
  Speaker 19: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
• 22:11
  Speaker 19: talk about all the time, which.
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: Is meta share.
• 22:14
  Speaker 19: That is right.
• 22:14
  Speaker 18: Yeah, So what was your experience like with meta share
• 22:17
  Speaker 18: and health care ability?
• 22:18
  Speaker 19: Honestly, Brandt seamless and what a blessing that is. When
• 22:21
  Speaker 19: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was,
• 22:24
  Speaker 19: members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
• 22:27
  Speaker 19: me tell you, having people pray with you when you
• 22:30
  Speaker 19: call in with your need that is just refreshing. Yes,
• 22:34
  Speaker 19: that's what it is.
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: I keep telling people.
• 22:36
  Speaker 18: People love meta share and they love saving money. The
• 22:39
  Speaker 18: typical family can save five hundred dollars a month.
• 22:42
  Speaker 19: I am very thankful for meta share. It is so different,
• 22:46
  Speaker 19: and I mean different in a very very good way.

• 23:11
  Speaker 5: better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases. AI supports
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for

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

  Speaker 1: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Trunk.
• 28:15
  Speaker 20: Media Game, email comes in.
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: I love these dear whiney cry baby in the morning.
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: Get over yourself. If if Trump wants to control broadcasting,
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: let him. I see this is what I mean, Gene.
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: I appreciate the email, and I was going to play
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: the theme song to Gene Gene the dancing Machine from
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: the Gong Show, but I decided against it. But I
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: appreciate that because it is quite possible that I am
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: a little too full of myself when it comes to
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: the FCC over playing their control over what gets sent
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: out to you. But I believe, truly believe that it's
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: out of this feeling that you're smart enough to figure
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: out what it is that serves your purpose without Brendan
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: Carr telling you what to do or when to do it,
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: or what to listen to or what you shouldn't listen to.
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: And that's why when I listen to this guy give
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: you and I know what he's doing. He wants the
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: FCC to be able to control cable and the podcasts
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: and everything else the way they control radio. And you
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: might be fine with that, but just don't forget for
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: a second that there'll be somebody else in the White
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: House at some point, might be jd Vance, might be
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: Gavin Newsom, might be Abigail Spanberger from here in Virginia.
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: That's what I'm being told the hot lick is, and
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: they might have a different view over what it is
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: you should be allowed to hear. And please don't forget
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: that one of the largest broadcasting companies since Brendan Carr
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: seems to be a big fan of these centralized broadcasting
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: companies is Odissey au Dacy and Odyssey is fifty one
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: percent owned by George Sorows, just saying, be careful what
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: you wish for. Yeah, he's Trump's guy, and Trump's guy
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: can be dead wrong. It happens, and I you know,
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: and you might make the case. And part of me
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: is railing against the idea that somebody like a Rachel Madcow,
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: We'll come out there and say this is Trump trying
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: to go after you know, the the contrarian media that
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: goes out and holds Trump's feet to the fire and
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: blah blah blah, blah blah. Don't give them the ammunition
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: to make these cases anyway. So I appreciate gene the
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: email for you there. You can email as well. JT

  Speaker 6: two one seven. Very popular way to get it. Get
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: to us here because mornings are a cacophony. I like
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: this one booger quote Johnny Fever. Yeah. I don't think
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: the FCC took Johnny Fever off because he said booger
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: on the air. But you know who knows. Brendan Carr
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: might decide he uh, he might want to. Doctor Clark
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: is on the line with us from Alabama. Good morning, Clark,
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: how are you, sir? I'm all good.
• 32:03
  Speaker 10: Joe.
• 32:03
  Speaker 8: So you said that you know, you didn't have a
• 32:06
  Speaker 8: problem with Trump. But it's not about that if they
• 32:10
  Speaker 8: get the control that Brendan Carr wants. It's about if
• 32:14
  Speaker 8: Brendan Carr has a problem with you, right, That's what
• 32:19
  Speaker 8: it's about. Now. I recall a conversation between Smith and
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: the news Speak engineer in nineteen eighty four, and I
• 32:34
  Speaker 8: want to say the ultimate goal was to perfect the
• 32:40
  Speaker 8: language to such a point that thought crimes would not
• 32:44
  Speaker 8: even be possible because there would not be words to
• 32:49
  Speaker 8: express it.
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that was a big part. That was Smith's job.
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: Remember his job was to go through memory home. Yeah. Yeah,
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: the news articles that mentioned people that had just been
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: removed or have been found. So obviously this person had
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: never been an enemy of the state because he didn't exist.
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: And rewrites the whole news story to include someone else.
• 33:12
  Speaker 8: Right, And you know he's talking with a guy that's
• 33:14
  Speaker 8: in charge of crafting language with the news speak, and
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: like I say, you know, the whole objective was new
• 33:21
  Speaker 8: speak was you wouldn't even be able to think wrong
• 33:24
  Speaker 8: thoughts because the words would not be available to think
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: them in. Yeah. Yeah, I think the difference between those
• 33:35
  Speaker 8: of us on the right and the ones on the left.
• 33:40
  Speaker 8: If you're on the left and you see that, hey,
• 33:43
  Speaker 8: we could completely control what goes out.
• 33:46
  Speaker 20: We're all for it.
• 33:48
  Speaker 8: Those of us are the writer, No, we don't want
• 33:51
  Speaker 8: to control that because.
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: The NITHI lepkis controlled.
• 33:54
  Speaker 8: They won't let us say what we want to say.
• 33:57
  Speaker 8: So I'll know two way streets and one way street.
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, and also it's interesting to me that
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: we have forgotten what you Twelve of the last sixteen
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: years have been like under Barack Obama and Joe Biden
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: or Valerie Jarrett more.
• 34:13
  Speaker 20: Probably I forgot it.
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: Well all right, President company excluded, but too many of us,
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: because Trump got reelected, have forgotten this. And there is
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: an attitude saying, yeah, go after those bastards that mischaracterized Trump.
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: Go after them, be punitive about it. And I don't
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: want guys like Brendan Carr pouring gasoline on that particular fire.
• 34:45
  Speaker 8: Yes, well, wrong doers certainly need to be held to account.
• 34:48
  Speaker 8: I don't think it's ever going to happen. Oh but yeah,
• 34:53
  Speaker 8: people will take take advantage of situations in order to
• 34:58
  Speaker 8: gain more power, that's for sure.
• 34:59
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, without question anyway, what else is on your mind, sir?
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: I appreciate the standing in my corner with me. Sponge
• 35:06
  Speaker 6: me down.
• 35:07
  Speaker 8: I don't know. I'm still stuck on the three hundred
• 35:09
  Speaker 8: and fifteen thousand bogus votes in Georgia Fulton.
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, let me stop you on that. Let
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: me stop you on that, Let me stop you on that,
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: because I really truly feel that, aside from this program,
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: I don't think anyone's heard about these three hundred and
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: fifteen thousand votes that were found to be fraudulently tabulated
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: in Fulton County, Georgia in twenty twenty. These were votes
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: that were absentee votes that were not signed under Georgia law,
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: that apparently were mailed in early and they just got
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: scanned in and nobody checked to see if the voter
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: had actually signed them. Nobody checked to see and who knows.
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: I mean they could have all been printed out from
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: the same computer software for all we know.
• 35:59
  Speaker 8: But three, this is there falls from being mailed.
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly. So you know this, this is a huge
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: thing that nobody is talking about. And part of it
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: is because Trump has gotten tired of being upon me
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: called an election denier. And here is proof that the
• 36:22
  Speaker 6: Georgia election was rigged.
• 36:27
  Speaker 8: Well, what are we going to find out next? There
• 36:29
  Speaker 8: was one hundred and twenty one thousand more ballots in
• 36:32
  Speaker 8: Pennsylvania than there were voters.
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: Oh shocking, that would be.
• 36:41
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's where the accountability needs to be. You know,
• 36:46
  Speaker 8: you think about that. Now, that's just three hundred and
• 36:48
  Speaker 8: fifteen right there. But my understanding is you could probably
• 36:53
  Speaker 8: come up with another one hundred thousand unaccountable votes in
• 36:58
  Speaker 8: Georgia outside of those and you know these are.
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: But that's just Fulton County with no mother and no father.
• 37:07
  Speaker 8: Yeah, they came from nowhere.
• 37:11
  Speaker 6: This is just one county. Granted it's the most populous
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: county in Georgia. It's Atlanta. But you know, what's to
• 37:19
  Speaker 6: say Augusta or anywhere else didn't do it well.
• 37:25
  Speaker 8: Kind of have to appreciate the efficiency and that they
• 37:31
  Speaker 8: didn't have to take over every state. They just had
• 37:34
  Speaker 8: to get the right county in the state, and they
• 37:37
  Speaker 8: just had to get the right five or six states.
• 37:40
  Speaker 6: But this is this is what the Zuckerbucks figured out
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: after twenty sixteen. You know, go back to when Carl
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: Robe said the quiet part out loud in twenty twenty,
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: when he went on the news programs and proclaimed that
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: it was really quite easy for George Bush to win.
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: They just found the three or four I want to
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: use that would con hi.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: It's Mark Falter, hosts of The Financial Fitness Show. I
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: strongly believe that no one should ever pay one penny
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately, for
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: most hard working Americans, this just isn't the case. Why
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: because most people spend more time planning next weekends getaway
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: than trying to ensure they're going to pay less than taxes.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: My financial fitness team has put together some materials that

  Speaker 2: I know are going to help you. It's the Tax

  Speaker 1: The first thing today on the Talk Media Network by

  Speaker 1: Joe Thomas.
• 44:16
  Speaker 8: I'm afraid of the Russians.
• 44:20
  Speaker 21: I can't sleep at light.

  Speaker 10: I'm so afraid of the Russians.

  Speaker 21: Afraid we've cut fight.
• 44:29
  Speaker 6: So President Trump, this text message comes in from Dana.
• 44:34
  Speaker 6: Dana writes in So Trump is continuing the blockade and
• 44:39
  Speaker 6: is threatening Maduro, saying he should step down for the
• 44:42
  Speaker 6: betterment of his country. Isn't this, Joe, just a return
• 44:49
  Speaker 6: to the proxy wars of the seventies, eighties and nineties.
• 44:55
  Speaker 6: Parentheses loved your radio, GAG's greates. So it's the seventies, eighties, nineties,
• 45:02
  Speaker 6: tomorrow and yesterday. I'm not sure it is. Remember the
• 45:09
  Speaker 6: premise behind Venezuela is the drug trade. Are the fentanyl
• 45:16
  Speaker 6: dealers or the crack cocaine dealers the folks who are
• 45:20
  Speaker 6: making all these drugs in Venezuela and Trump see what's happening?
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: Is the echo Chamber is working on this to make
• 45:30
  Speaker 6: this like Trump is after the oil. The oil is
• 45:34
  Speaker 6: a sanction. The oil has been sanctioned because of their
• 45:39
  Speaker 6: bad behaviors in other parts of the world. So we're
• 45:48
  Speaker 6: interceding their oil transports. This is why they run these
• 45:52
  Speaker 6: ghosts tankers. They know they're not supposed to be shipping
• 45:56
  Speaker 6: this oil, so they have these spoofers that make their
• 46:00
  Speaker 6: gps look like they're off the coast of Guyana instead
• 46:03
  Speaker 6: of sailing out Caracas. But this is about the drug trade.
• 46:10
  Speaker 6: This is about going after the fentanyl makers. So if
• 46:18
  Speaker 6: the press wants to make it about oh Trump just
• 46:20
  Speaker 6: wants the oil. The oil is the fulcrum for which
• 46:26
  Speaker 6: the rest of their economy lies. They are an oil
• 46:29
  Speaker 6: rich nation. Remember, this country is destitute, and it became destitute.
• 46:34
  Speaker 6: It used to be one of the most prosperous countries
• 46:37
  Speaker 6: in the American continent on the American continent not named
• 46:42
  Speaker 6: the United States, because it had natural resources, it had agriculture,
• 46:47
  Speaker 6: it had a passionate population ready to work hard. And
• 46:52
  Speaker 6: Thenda not Maduro of Hugo Shapez comes along, nationalizes everything,
• 46:58
  Speaker 6: takes away everyone's in incentive to do anything, then throws
• 47:01
  Speaker 6: on price controls because things were going up in price
• 47:06
  Speaker 6: because you know, all of a sudden, he couldn't get
• 47:08
  Speaker 6: stuff through in price controls, so businesses like grocery stores
• 47:12
  Speaker 6: shut down. Farmers couldn't sell their groceries, so you had
• 47:17
  Speaker 6: food riots in the streets. So, you know, don't And
• 47:22
  Speaker 6: I understand the thought because when you listen to an
• 47:25
  Speaker 6: MSN now or whatever it is, or CBS news portraying
• 47:30
  Speaker 6: this as some sort of battle over oil. Yeah, now,
• 47:34
  Speaker 6: it starts to sound like one of those proxy wars
• 47:36
  Speaker 6: of the seventies eighties, and I'd use them today. But
• 47:40
  Speaker 6: this really isn't. This is this is about stopping them.
• 47:45
  Speaker 6: And Trump went to Maduro months ago and said, can
• 47:48
  Speaker 6: you help us stop the drug manufacturing in your country?
• 47:52
  Speaker 6: And he said no, he said no, he said, I'm
• 47:58
  Speaker 6: behind my entrepreneurs or whatever it was he said. And
• 48:06
  Speaker 6: so Trump said, okay, well we'll have to do it ourselves.
• 48:10
  Speaker 6: Thus the vote strikes, Thus the blockade on the illegal
• 48:15
  Speaker 6: oil shipments coming out of the country. We went to break.
• 48:21
  Speaker 6: We were talking about Carl Rove when Carl Rove sort
• 48:24
  Speaker 6: of said the quiet part out loud about winning a
• 48:29
  Speaker 6: presidential election comes down to like three counties in the
• 48:33
  Speaker 6: entire United States. You figure out which three counties those are.
• 48:39
  Speaker 6: And you know, in Rob's case, when he was talking
• 48:43
  Speaker 6: about two thousand, he said, you just get everyone there,
• 48:47
  Speaker 6: you know, turn out the electorate, turn out the vote.
• 48:50
  Speaker 6: And that's what you saw in these fraudulent votes in
• 48:53
  Speaker 6: Fulton County, Georgia. Because what Mark Zuckerbucks did before he
• 49:00
  Speaker 6: tried to launder his reputation and get right with conservatives.
• 49:07
  Speaker 6: Oh well, I had no idea. So before he got
• 49:16
  Speaker 6: right with conservatives and tried to launder his reputation, he
• 49:22
  Speaker 6: was funding in twenty twenty an operation to go into
• 49:28
  Speaker 6: Philadelphia and Atlanta, and there were two others. Detroit was
• 49:34
  Speaker 6: one these heavily Democrat cities to blow up their turnout
• 49:43
  Speaker 6: or to blow up the number of votes that came out.
• 49:46
  Speaker 6: Because Joe Biden carrying Atlanta and Fulton County was not
• 49:50
  Speaker 6: going to be a red flag. So you could throw
• 49:55
  Speaker 6: much more fraudulent votes around a place like Fulton County
• 49:58
  Speaker 6: or Philadelphia than you could anywhere else because it wouldn't
• 50:03
  Speaker 6: stand out. You know, as people scanned it said, oh,
• 50:05
  Speaker 6: Joe Biden want this, Joe Biden want that. You know,
• 50:08
  Speaker 6: places that they expected him to win. But now we're
• 50:19
  Speaker 6: finding out what five years later. Great, So it's yes,
• 50:27
  Speaker 6: it's part and parcel of who in Georgia is going
• 50:30
  Speaker 6: to be held to account for this. Certainly this gets
• 50:35
  Speaker 6: placed under the banner of Trump was right all along.
• 50:42
  Speaker 6: But more importantly, this has to change the future. So
• 50:48
  Speaker 6: just scanning in votes that are in violation of the law.
• 50:52
  Speaker 6: Don't forget Fulton County also had piles and piles of
• 50:56
  Speaker 6: votes that had no barcode on them, which was required
• 51:02
  Speaker 6: so that you wouldn't have multiple people scanning the same
• 51:06
  Speaker 6: vote over and over again. Once the barcode had been scanned,
• 51:12
  Speaker 6: that was it. And all these things, none of these
• 51:17
  Speaker 6: things were challenged, and when they were brought up, it
• 51:21
  Speaker 6: was always, oh well, it was insignificant, Oh well it
• 51:24
  Speaker 6: was a This is twelve thousand votes in between Trump
• 51:29
  Speaker 6: and Biden and Georgia. So now all of a sudden,
• 51:33
  Speaker 6: Donald Trump calling and saying I needed to find these votes,
• 51:37
  Speaker 6: starting to say, hey, guess what, we just found those votes.
• 51:40
  Speaker 6: Donald Trump was saying, you need to go find maybe
• 51:46
  Speaker 6: somebody in Georgia told President Trump's team in twenty twenty,
• 51:51
  Speaker 6: there's three hundred and fifteen thousand votes in Fulton County
• 51:54
  Speaker 6: that nobody signed. So when he called Jack Kemp and said, hey,
• 51:57
  Speaker 6: you need to find these votes, all these were Oh
• 52:04
  Speaker 6: he was trying to commit voter fraud. He was No,
• 52:06
  Speaker 6: he knew about these votes, which we now all know
• 52:11
  Speaker 6: about except for the majority of the population that has
• 52:14
  Speaker 6: never heard the story. But much more on foot this
• 52:21
  Speaker 6: morning at four three four eight eight two four two
• 52:24
  Speaker 6: one seven. You can text message there as well. Bob
• 52:28
  Speaker 6: sent in another is so, let me see if I
• 52:30

• 52:33
  Speaker 6: out of here. It looks like it's got Yes, I

  Speaker 6: won't have time to read this before the break, but

  Speaker 6: a lot more coming up this Tuesday morning before Christmas.
• 52:51

• 52:54
  Speaker 23: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 52:57
  Speaker 7: It was Metache that came through for us and there
