- 2:19Speaker 4: the Air Force weren't the only ones dropping bombs over
- 2:22Speaker 4: the weekend. That was Hillary Clinton from her testimony to
- 2:28Speaker 4: congressional leaders fun and frolic as she loses patients. Apparently
- 2:35Speaker 4: it was over the Pizzagate questions because John Podesta and
- 2:38Speaker 4: again more of the releases cryptic associations with ordering pizza
- 2:45Speaker 4: with Jeffrey Epstein, which you know, Hillary decided, I don't
- 2:49Speaker 4: want to answer any of those questions, so that was
- 2:52Speaker 4: about the end of her exchange fundy. When she came
- 2:55Speaker 4: out and gave her press statement, it was like she
- 2:57Speaker 4: had taken a xanax and had quite down cut a bit.
- 3:01Speaker 4: So let us begin our first things. The battle in
- 3:09Speaker 4: the Middle East. Bombs continuing to fall on Tehran and
- 3:14Speaker 4: areas around Iran's capital. The US embassy in Saudi Arabia
- 3:19Speaker 4: was struck by a drone strike early this morning. US
- 3:24Speaker 4: and Israel have pounded Iran with more air strikes. The
- 3:28Speaker 4: conflict has spread into Lebanon, where Iranians supported Hezbolah militant
- 3:34Speaker 4: group fired missiles at Israel Monday, prompting Israel to retaliate,
- 3:39Speaker 4: striking the Almanar Channel studios in Beirut in the southern
- 3:44Speaker 4: suburbs or has Bola aligned and have been a target
- 3:47Speaker 4: even as far back as two thousand and six. President
- 3:51Speaker 4: Trump Monday pushed back against criticism he hasn't done enough
- 3:55Speaker 4: to explain why it was necessary for them to begin
- 3:59Speaker 4: the bombing of Iran. He said that there was imminent threats.
- 4:04Speaker 4: Benjamin Netan Yahoo took to state run TV and Fox
- 4:08Speaker 4: News as well to make the same announcement. Meanwhile, the
- 4:13Speaker 4: United Kingdom after forty eight hours of consulting with barristers.
- 4:17Speaker 4: It's what they call them there has authorized the use
- 4:20Speaker 4: of military bases in the United Kingdom to support the
- 4:24Speaker 4: American defensive operations at destroying Iranian missile capabilities. The State
- 4:30Speaker 4: Department has urged Americans to immediately leave more than a
- 4:34Speaker 4: dozen countries across the Middle East, warning of quote serious
- 4:38Speaker 4: safety risks they posted Monday to ex Moor Namdar, the
- 4:42Speaker 4: State Department's Assistant Secretary for Consular Affairs, said the Department
- 4:47Speaker 4: urges Americans in capital letters to depart now. The twenty
- 4:53Speaker 4: twenty six midterm season begins today in Texas and North Carolina.
- 4:58Speaker 4: As prime in Texas include the Battle of Royal between
- 5:05Speaker 4: former Attorney General Ken Paxton and four term incumbent senator
- 5:10Speaker 4: that's twenty four years if you're keeping score at home,
- 5:15Speaker 4: John Cornyn. This pundits are saying could give the Democrats
- 5:20Speaker 4: a shot at winning. The Democratic runoff is going to
- 5:25Speaker 4: be between US Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, she herself a firebrand
- 5:30Speaker 4: like Paxton is, and Congressman James Tallerico, former middle school teacher.
- 5:36Speaker 4: North Carolina's primaries also closely watched Roy Cooper facing Republican
- 5:42Speaker 4: National Committee Chairman Michael Wattley today as poles open and
- 5:47Speaker 4: the Supreme Court cleared the way for California schools to
- 5:52Speaker 4: tell parents if their children identify transgender without the student's approval.

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

- 10:01Speaker 10: on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 10: I'm not only in all of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 10: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:08Speaker 10: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 10: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 10:15Speaker 10: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 10:17Speaker 10: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21Speaker 10: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 10:23Speaker 10: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 10:25Speaker 10: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 10:29Speaker 10: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 10:32Speaker 10: perform life saving work every day.
- 10:34Speaker 2: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
- 10:36Speaker 10: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTSS.
- 10:39Speaker 10: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
- 10:42Speaker 10: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
- 10:44Speaker 10: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
- 10:47Speaker 10: in need. So please join me an American Humane and

- 11:10Speaker 11: art and brain.
- 11:12Speaker 4: Who's with me?

- 13:15Speaker 2: Now let me tell you what we found.
- 13:16Speaker 11: That choice change the Germans to contain classified informations what
- 13:25Speaker 11: difference and this point.
- 13:29Speaker 16: Six of those chains contained confidential information.
- 13:35Speaker 12: What difference and this point.
- 13:38Speaker 2: Recommendation is going to be understatement for at least a
- 13:41Speaker 2: couple of days.
- 13:43Speaker 11: Our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such
- 13:46Speaker 11: a case.
- 13:49Speaker 4: So what does it sound like when you have two
- 13:51Speaker 4: tiered justice system? What does it sound like? What? What
- 13:56Speaker 4: do you think? What would your impression be of your
- 14:01Speaker 4: interaction with your sheriff if is he discussed a matter
- 14:07Speaker 4: with you you turned to him and said, Plaine, how.
- 14:11Speaker 8: I've done is if you guys are doing that, I
- 14:13Speaker 8: am done.
- 14:14Speaker 1: You can pull me a contempt from now to the
- 14:16Speaker 1: cows come home.
- 14:17Speaker 8: This is just typical behavior.
- 14:21Speaker 4: I'm sure your sheriff, you know where you are, would
- 14:25Speaker 4: handle this with all the grace and the plom that
- 14:28Speaker 4: the congressional leaders did when they said, Okay, I guess
- 14:31Speaker 4: she's walking out and want and yes, you have a
- 14:35Speaker 4: right to decline to answer law enforcement's questions. They have
- 14:43Speaker 4: to present indictments and warrants and things that we're told.
- 14:49Speaker 4: Somewhere I read that warrants based on presentations of probable cause.
- 15:01Speaker 4: But that's what a two tier justice system there looks like.
- 15:04Speaker 4: Come to my house. Actually, don't even come to my house.
- 15:07Speaker 4: Come to a performing arts center near my house and
- 15:14Speaker 4: my house. I mean the place that I get mail
- 15:16Speaker 4: sent to because you know, the other guy is here
- 15:20Speaker 4: and he creeps me out. I don't know where Hillary stays.
- 15:26Speaker 4: I'm told there's a place in Chicago. You know, again,
- 15:30Speaker 4: facts not an evidence counselor. And that's just that's, you know,
- 15:37Speaker 4: bombs dropping Friday in advance of the bombs dropping on
- 15:41Speaker 4: Tehran Saturday, and you know, just coming out. They leaked
- 15:46Speaker 4: the video yesterday, wild swirling allegations that it was leaked
- 15:54Speaker 4: because President Trump looks bad because he had no authority
- 15:58Speaker 4: to do what. So here's President Trump yesterday being queried.
- 16:04Speaker 4: And again I love the people who say he's hiding.
- 16:09Speaker 4: He's in a room full of reporters just taking questions.
- 16:13Speaker 4: Maybe you don't like the answers. That's fine. Brother, doesn't
- 16:16Speaker 4: look like he's hiding.
- 16:17Speaker 17: The regime's conventional ballistic missile program was growing rapidly and dramatically,
- 16:23Speaker 17: and this posed a very clear, colossal threat to American
- 16:26Speaker 17: air forces stationed overseas.
- 16:29Speaker 4: You know, And it's not every day you get to
- 16:31Speaker 4: say President Trump seems better at this than somebody who
- 16:35Speaker 4: has practiced at this stuff. Benjamin Netan Yahoo, who is
- 16:38Speaker 4: on Fox News sounding like a first term congressman.
- 16:43Speaker 18: The reason that we had to act now is because
- 16:47Speaker 18: they were After we hit their nuclear sites and their
- 16:51Speaker 18: ballistic missiles program. You'd think they learned a lesson, but
- 16:54Speaker 18: they didn't because they're unreformable. They're totally fanatic about this,
- 17:00Speaker 18: about the goal of destroying America. So they started building
- 17:03Speaker 18: new sites, new places underground bunkers that would make the
- 17:08Speaker 18: ballistic missile program and their atomic bomb programs immune within months.
- 17:15Speaker 4: I mean, he's pissed, you could hear it, and he's
- 17:19Speaker 4: just like, I'm just done with these people. He sounds
- 17:23Speaker 4: almost like Hillary in you know, walking out of her
- 17:28Speaker 4: testimony with the Congression.
- 17:30Speaker 16: I've done.
- 17:31Speaker 8: If you guys are doing that, I am done.
- 17:32Speaker 7: You can.
- 17:37Speaker 4: So Hillary Clinton sees Congressional Republicans the same way that
- 17:41Speaker 4: Benjamin Nett and Yahoo sees Iran. So you had plenty
- 17:49Speaker 4: to get into this morning beyond that. But that was
- 17:53Speaker 4: leaked yesterday afternoon, like I said, amid swirling allegations that
- 17:57Speaker 4: it was leaked by Congressional Republicans to take scrutiny off
- 18:01Speaker 4: of Donald Trump because blah blah blah blah blah whatever.
- 18:05Speaker 4: There you gotta work with me a little bit. This morning.
- 18:12Speaker 4: The phrase fake it till you make it is a
- 18:15Speaker 4: little accurate, and the legal observers of the program are
- 18:20Speaker 4: flinching because they're afraid I'm gonna call what I had
- 18:23Speaker 4: for dinner last night Chinese food. What oh oops, sorry,
- 18:31Speaker 4: the Asian fair the stir fry that my wife made.
- 18:34Speaker 4: And I used to blame this stuff on the mona
- 18:37Speaker 4: sodium glue tomate that was in the traditional I mean
- 18:40Speaker 4: it was the traditional flavoring of New York Chinese. Sorry
- 18:45Speaker 4: Asian cuisine. And so my wife made sturfry. No MSG, no, nothing,
- 18:52Speaker 4: It's just stir fry in a walk. Maybe it's the walk,
- 18:56Speaker 4: can we check like the coating of the walk. I
- 18:58Speaker 4: just had the most fit full nights of sleep. I'm
- 19:01Speaker 4: the weird dreams, you know, none involving like pizza delivery
- 19:06Speaker 4: and tens of thousands of dollars for a quote pizza
- 19:10Speaker 4: or anything like that, but just you know, random, you know,
- 19:14Speaker 4: weird enough to make you wake up two three times
- 19:17Speaker 4: in the night and just going what the heck? So yeah,
- 19:21Speaker 4: you know, it's not that we're ill prepared. It's just
- 19:25Speaker 4: that I'm sure that there is a misfire somewhere in
- 19:28Speaker 4: between my left and right, ear so cut cut a
- 19:32Speaker 4: brother a little slack this morning. Let me see who
- 19:34Speaker 4: you are and who joins us. First thing this morning.
- 19:38Speaker 4: I am Joe. Who's this?
- 19:41Speaker 19: This is Moscow, Bob. And you can't even stay Asian
- 19:46Speaker 19: food because that, technically, in the eyes of the Democrats
- 19:51Speaker 19: is racist.
- 19:51Speaker 4: Okay, I'm sorry. So now my legal observer is nodding
- 19:55Speaker 4: heavily on me. All right, So whatever we had stir fry.
- 20:01Speaker 19: Chuck Schumer actually said something that everyone has to agree with,
- 20:07Speaker 19: which means listen. He stated that President Trump is spending
- 20:13Speaker 19: money overseas in other countries where he should be taking
- 20:17Speaker 19: care of his own people in our country first. Therefore,
- 20:20Speaker 19: Chuck Schumer just stated that USAID does not ever, never,
- 20:26Speaker 19: ever need to be funded again, because we need to
- 20:29Speaker 19: concentrate on our own people before we concentrate on those
- 20:32Speaker 19: in other countries. I think, Chuck Schumer.
- 20:36Speaker 4: No, I'm hopefully we don't have an opportunity to hold
- 20:41Speaker 4: him to that if he and his party become the
- 20:44Speaker 4: majority in November. But today will go a long way
- 20:48Speaker 4: towards that in Texas and North Carolina. But yeah, he's
- 20:52Speaker 4: you know, that's the thing about these guys when they
- 20:55Speaker 4: define themselves simply by what they're against. Eventually the hypocrisy
- 21:01Speaker 4: becomes almost chest deep, doesn't it.
- 21:05Speaker 19: Well, it shows how much of a hypocrite and how
- 21:09Speaker 19: much of a liar they are. In general, nothing they
- 21:15Speaker 19: say is true because on one end, it's okay if
- 21:20Speaker 19: it helps them, but if it doesn't help them, then
- 21:23Speaker 19: they're against it, which means they're two faces like a buzzard.
- 21:28Speaker 19: And eventually the young Democrats have to start seeing this
- 21:32Speaker 19: and get rid of all these old people, or form
- 21:35Speaker 19: their own party other than the Democratic Party.
- 21:40Speaker 4: Or learn how to do it from Chuck. I mean,
- 21:42Speaker 4: that's kind of how Jasmine Crockett and ilhan Omar have
- 21:45Speaker 4: figured it out. They're like, well, if it works for
- 21:47Speaker 4: the old guy from New York, maybe it'll work for
- 21:50Speaker 4: us too. And the duplicity is stunning because they do
- 21:56Speaker 4: that's what they do. They want to have it their way,
- 21:59Speaker 4: and if they way doesn't work, they want to have
- 22:01Speaker 4: Hey On Brandt and her name is Shary I love.
- 22:04Speaker 20: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
- 22:06Speaker 20: for because of a surgery. She just went through.
- 22:09Speaker 21: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
- 22:11Speaker 21: talk about all the time, which.
- 22:13Speaker 20: Is meta share.
- 22:14Speaker 21: That is right?
- 22:14Speaker 20: Yeah, So what was your experience like with meta share
- 22:17Speaker 20: and healthcare ability?
- 22:18Speaker 21: Honestly, brandt seamless and what a blessing that is. When
- 22:21Speaker 21: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was,
- 22:24Speaker 21: members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
- 22:27Speaker 21: me tell you, having people pray with you when you
- 22:30Speaker 21: call in with your need that is just refreshing. Yes,
- 22:34Speaker 21: that's what it is.
- 22:35Speaker 4: What I keep telling people.
- 22:36Speaker 20: People love meda share and they love saving money. The
- 22:39Speaker 20: typical family can save five hundred dollars a month.
- 22:42Speaker 21: I am very thankful for meta share. It is so different,
- 22:46Speaker 21: and I mean different in a very very good way.
- 22:48Speaker 20: It is good different call now. They're easy to talk

- 23:06Speaker 6: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
- 23:11Speaker 6: better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
- 23:15Speaker 6: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases. AI supports
- 23:20Speaker 6: veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
- 23:25Speaker 6: personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
- 23:30Speaker 6: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
- 23:34Speaker 6: on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
- 23:40Speaker 6: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
- 23:44Speaker 6: AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
- 23:48Speaker 6: your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
- 23:53Speaker 6: center of our profession. For more information on AI and

- 24:07Speaker 8: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi
- 24:12Speaker 8: im doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18Speaker 8: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22Speaker 8: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26Speaker 8: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31Speaker 8: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 8: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:42Speaker 8: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer and
- 24:45Speaker 8: in many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 24:50Speaker 8: healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

- 28:20Speaker 2: and I take.
- 28:24Speaker 23: That, guys gang, not that now, I'm talking about me.
- 28:30Speaker 4: Yes, that does.
- 28:32Speaker 23: Long ago, Oh.
- 28:38Speaker 7: Rain, I got a lot of nice.
- 28:39Speaker 4: Scare you remember that movie with Dolly Parton and Burt
- 28:43Speaker 4: Reynolds about this, And I'm right back when they used
- 28:47Speaker 4: to turn Broadway shows into movies, not the other way around.
- 28:52Speaker 4: Uh So, all our vexus live in Texas. Real clear pulling,
- 28:59Speaker 4: you know, and it's just fun watching this. So the
- 29:03Speaker 4: establishment folks, twenty four years of John Cornyn and the
- 29:08Speaker 4: polls right now averaging packsing up by four in the
- 29:19Speaker 4: in the race, most recent one conducted up till yesterday.
- 29:30Speaker 4: YouGov has packsing up by four. Emerson conducted until the
- 29:36Speaker 4: end of March, end of February, packsing up by four.
- 29:40Speaker 4: Quantus inside packsing up by five. Chisholm Blueprints. I'm not
- 29:46Speaker 4: sure who they are. They sound like a you know,
- 29:48Speaker 4: I don't have to who is Chisholm. Is that a
- 29:51Speaker 4: Texas pulling you know? These companies. I mean, there's all
- 29:55Speaker 4: some accounting firms, some accountants like I want to get
- 29:58Speaker 4: involved in politics. Oh get got a survey Monkey account.
- 30:03Speaker 4: But Chisholm blueprint actually has Packson up by twelve. One
- 30:07Speaker 4: of the odds packs and paid for that poll. The
- 30:12Speaker 4: University of Texas not a surprise, that's corning up by six.
- 30:22Speaker 4: They're not helping the enrollment of the University of Texas
- 30:27Speaker 4: at Tyler with corning up by six. But then the
- 30:34Speaker 4: Democratic side, I mean, this is wild because every news
- 30:39Speaker 4: story I've seen about the Texas primaries, it's all Jasmine
- 30:44Speaker 4: Crockett is up against Taller Rico. Everything a AP, NEWSMAX, CNN.
- 30:54Speaker 4: It's all Jasmine Crockett versus some school teacher and tell
- 31:04Speaker 4: Rico's leading by thirteen percentage points in the polls going
- 31:10Speaker 4: into today's election. But if you watch, just watch the news,
- 31:14Speaker 4: you'd get the impression that Jasmine Crockett is clean in
- 31:18Speaker 4: this dude's clock. The only one that's been within ten
- 31:23Speaker 4: points was the Emerson poll. And these are all likely
- 31:26Speaker 4: voter polls. These aren't just you know, registered voters or
- 31:30Speaker 4: anyone who we happen to stop walking down the street.
- 31:34Speaker 4: I wonder did they ask for ID before they did
- 31:39Speaker 4: these polls? Just saying, but you gov up till yesterday,
- 31:46Speaker 4: they have tall Rico up by thirteen points, fifty three
- 31:49Speaker 4: to forty. That's going to leave a mark. Emerson has
- 31:56Speaker 4: him up only by five. This is the one that
- 31:59Speaker 4: conducted right up to the end of February. Then the
- 32:01Speaker 4: Chisholm folks have tell Rico up by twelve at the
- 32:05Speaker 4: University of Texas Pole.
- 32:07Speaker 11: What was it?
- 32:09Speaker 4: So this University of Texas at Tyler poll was conducted
- 32:12Speaker 4: very early in February. Since the only poll that has
- 32:16Speaker 4: Cornyn and Crockett winning it would be fascinating. So Gabby
- 32:25Speaker 4: Berenbaum at the Texas Tribune writes up the Texas University
- 32:33Speaker 4: of Texas primary story, Jasmine Crockett leads James Telerico by
- 32:39Speaker 4: double digits, and it's the only poll out there that
- 32:48Speaker 4: has her ahead. It's the Texas Politics Project at the
- 32:52Speaker 4: University of Texas. Tyler Crockett massive advantage with black voters
- 33:04Speaker 4: drawing eighty seven percent support. What I'm saying is now
- 33:07Speaker 4: where so the other thirteen percent of the Black community
- 33:10Speaker 4: in Texas is like, nah, I'm going to go there.
- 33:18Speaker 4: Tall Rico had a narrow advantage with white voters, winning
- 33:21Speaker 4: them by just six percentage points. University of Houston they
- 33:30Speaker 4: also love Crockett. They did a poll just after the
- 33:33Speaker 4: year began that had Crockett up by eight points over
- 33:37Speaker 4: tall Rico, and at least in the Houston one University
- 33:45Speaker 4: of Houston, Paxton led corn In thirty six to thirty.
- 33:54Speaker 4: But it's a runoff. So if it winds up thirty six,
- 33:58Speaker 4: thirty four and twenty six for Wesley Hunt, then it's
- 34:02Speaker 4: going to be a runoff between Paxton and Cornon Mono
- 34:05Speaker 4: E Mono, they claim that these are verified primary voters.
- 34:17Speaker 4: In other words, the folks they asked said sure, I'm
- 34:22Speaker 4: going to vote in the primary. Is that pizza for anyone?
- 34:28Speaker 4: Is that pizza stuff? Again? What is it with you
- 34:30Speaker 4: with pizza?
- 34:30Speaker 12: Oh?
- 34:30Speaker 4: I got a text message? Where's the story?
- 34:33Speaker 20: This is.
- 34:35Speaker 4: Funny, it's out of It's actually a Texas story.
- 34:39Speaker 7: Some.
- 34:40Speaker 4: Headline Texas pizza influencers. I guess. I guess it's some
- 34:46Speaker 4: local best of award that went to a He said, Joe,
- 34:50Speaker 4: is this John Podesta's business pizza influencer?
- 34:55Speaker 18: Oh?
- 34:56Speaker 4: You guys, it's the greatest hits of twenty six back
- 35:00Speaker 4: for us and the and the John Podesta files. And
- 35:07Speaker 4: remember so part of what led to the Hillary meltdown
- 35:12Speaker 4: on Friday is this conjunction between the Epstein emails and
- 35:18Speaker 4: the Podesta emails from Wiki leaks. I shouldn't say there
- 35:23Speaker 4: John Podesta's emails that Wiki Leaks released so you can
- 35:26Speaker 4: see them. I want to say it correctly because a
- 35:30Speaker 4: lot of my brothers and sisters in this business make
- 35:33Speaker 4: it sound like Wiki leaks invented these emails. And that's
- 35:40Speaker 4: what's the word I want to use for incorrect. But
- 35:44Speaker 4: we'll see how it comes out today. Everything that's been
- 35:47Speaker 4: done within the last calendar month has Talarico leading by
- 35:53Speaker 4: more than ten percentage points. And most people don't have
- 36:01Speaker 4: a feeling for what's flipped this, but Emerson has been
- 36:05Speaker 4: very consistent and it's pulling. Uh tall Rico has constantly
- 36:09Speaker 4: been And and the thing about tall Rico, there is
- 36:13Speaker 4: a third name in the race. If tall Rico doesn't
- 36:16Speaker 4: get fifty percent, then it goes into another runoff. So
- 36:21Speaker 4: I guess what Crockett's got to hope is this Hassan
- 36:25Speaker 4: gets more than point two percent of the vote, you know,
- 36:29Speaker 4: pull something away from tall Rico and at least get
- 36:35Speaker 4: her to a runoff where she can, you know, go
- 36:37Speaker 4: and say some crazy stuff on the view or something
- 36:40Speaker 4: and get more attention. And from what I've been told,
- 36:46Speaker 4: and I've kept my nose, you know, as much as
- 36:49Speaker 4: you can handle watching Jasamine Kronckett on TV, and you
- 36:56Speaker 4: say matchups make fights. You know, if you were in sports,
- 37:00Speaker 4: you know that Mike Tyson was going to lose to
- 37:04Speaker 4: Buster Douglas because Buster Douglas is the kind of fighter
- 37:07Speaker 4: that would beat Mike Tyson. Matchups make fights. And I
- 37:16Speaker 4: think in Texas, everyone I've talked to is flinching at
- 37:19Speaker 4: the idea of Ken Paxton versus Jasmine Crockett. But I
- 37:24Speaker 4: love the idea. I mean, this is perhaps the closest
- 37:27Speaker 4: will have to a full throated, wild eyed leftist versus
- 37:32Speaker 4: Maga tea Party conservative. And the thing that Cornyn has
- 37:39Speaker 4: lost his way on is that he as the Attorney
- 37:43Speaker 4: General of Texas, Paxton has been very, very popular, especially
- 37:49Speaker 4: amongst the Republicans who he's going to need the most
- 37:55Speaker 4: to hold on to that Senate representation. But at some point,
- 37:59Speaker 4: you know, twenty four years brother.
- 38:02Speaker 11: Hi, It's Mark Falter, hosts of the Financial Fitness Show.
- 38:05Speaker 11: I strongly believe that no one should ever pay one
- 38:08Speaker 11: penny more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately,
- 38:13Speaker 11: for most hardworking Americans, this just isn't the case. Why
- 38:17Speaker 11: because most people spend more time planning next weekends getaway
- 38:21Speaker 11: than trying to ensure they're going to pay less than taxes.

- 38:27Speaker 11: I know are going to help you. It's the Tax

- 44:15Speaker 2: Media Network. All natural and free of artificial intelligence, so.
- 44:35Speaker 4: So uh Maureen writes into JT in the Morning Radio
- 44:39Speaker 4: at gmail dot com with some tips on how to
- 44:43Speaker 4: remember your dreams. Uh, she says, Joe, when when these
- 44:47Speaker 4: dreams wake you up in the night, put the to
- 44:49Speaker 4: good use, sit down and write them down. These dreams
- 44:53Speaker 4: are just manifestations of things. As your brain starts to
- 44:57Speaker 4: decompress through the day, there's a physio logical change that
- 45:01Speaker 4: takes place, a fluid exchange that actually needs between six
- 45:06Speaker 4: and eight hours to complete. If you don't get that much,
- 45:10Speaker 4: your brain is still got old oil in it, as
- 45:15Speaker 4: she puts in quotes there, So try to take a
- 45:19Speaker 4: few moments and write down what you recall of the
- 45:22Speaker 4: dream right after you wake up, when they're freshest in
- 45:24Speaker 4: your brain. Tim, Maureen, and I appreciate you know, and
- 45:27Speaker 4: thank you for listening in Sacramento as well. But it's
- 45:32Speaker 4: the thing. I used to have a blissful life until
- 45:36Speaker 4: about eleven years ten years ago, and my friend Dargan,
- 45:39Speaker 4: who runs the local Learning RX area, I just completed
- 45:44Speaker 4: about of chemotherapy and he said he wanted to help
- 45:47Speaker 4: me make sure I didn't go through chemo brain. So
- 45:50Speaker 4: he put me through the Learning RX program. Determined that
- 45:54Speaker 4: I had this processing speed issue anyway, and I remember,
- 46:01Speaker 4: I guess I was about a month into the six
- 46:03Speaker 4: month program when I woke up screaming. My wife's like,
- 46:07Speaker 4: what's wrong. What's wrong? I said, I don't know, I
- 46:10Speaker 4: don't know. There was just something going on and now
- 46:12Speaker 4: it's gone. And she said, that's just a dream. And
- 46:15Speaker 4: I had never I mean, I was fifty years old
- 46:17Speaker 4: at the time, marine and I had never been able
- 46:20Speaker 4: to recall a single dream in all fifty years. I
- 46:24Speaker 4: make the mistake quote unquote, I'm kidding, I'm teasing of
- 46:28Speaker 4: going through the learning RX. I remember so much more
- 46:31Speaker 4: than I used to, especially names. But the downside is
- 46:37Speaker 4: now I have when I have a bad dream, it
- 46:40Speaker 4: wakes me up because I actually remember the thing, even
- 46:45Speaker 4: just enough to know, oh was that was?
- 46:48Speaker 13: That?
- 46:49Speaker 14: I was?
- 46:49Speaker 4: I was a road crew member on a Tom Poppa
- 46:51Speaker 4: comedy tour or something. I don't know, making Sourdale bread.
- 46:55Speaker 4: But anyway, I want to get into the tea party
- 46:59Speaker 4: the Texas pub Policy Foundation. Our friends there wrote a
- 47:03Speaker 4: great piece on today's primary. Our friends James Henson and
- 47:08Speaker 4: Joshua Blank. Henson's been on the program before. Mostly when
- 47:13Speaker 4: we're together at Sea Pack where we're going to be
- 47:17Speaker 4: just a couple of weeks. Sponsorships available. We head to Texas,
- 47:22Speaker 4: Dallas Fort Worth. It's at the Gay Lord there starting
- 47:25Speaker 4: I think the twenty fifth. We should know that. Probably
- 47:28Speaker 4: have to catch an airplane. But we'll be live from
- 47:32Speaker 4: Sea Pack with all the newsmakers for you each morning
- 47:35Speaker 4: here on the Talk Media Network. And I'm hoping Henson
- 47:38Speaker 4: is one of those folks. But let me get to
- 47:40Speaker 4: you first at four three, four eight eight two four
- 47:43Speaker 4: two one seven, Good morning, You're on the air with Joe.
- 47:46Speaker 4: First thing this morning. Who's this?
- 47:48Speaker 7: Good morning Joe, It's Joel.
- 47:49Speaker 4: Hey, Joel, how are you?
- 47:52Speaker 7: I don't know. This job isn't doing too well either,
- 47:56Speaker 7: but anyway.
- 47:57Speaker 4: Well it pays the bills, you know. It beats cutting
- 47:59Speaker 4: up chicken parts for airline food.
- 48:02Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I don't know. It's a matter of safety,
- 48:05Speaker 7: but a lot of those nursing homes are hideous and anyway,
- 48:10Speaker 7: what is you know, not.
- 48:11Speaker 4: To tangent off of that, but my wife's best friend,
- 48:15Speaker 4: her mom has been in a nursing home for a
- 48:17Speaker 4: little bit rehab after a fall. And I mean she's
- 48:21Speaker 4: eighty something anyway, But she's not in a nursing home
- 48:24Speaker 4: as a resident, and my wife friend is just she's
- 48:28Speaker 4: a gog at how rough the conditions aren't the only
- 48:32Speaker 4: thing I can track it to. And I'm not trying
- 48:34Speaker 4: to slag the industry, but as more and more people
- 48:39Speaker 4: rely on Medicare, which is just historically awful about reimbursing doctors,
- 48:46Speaker 4: so I can only imagine they're awful about reimbursing nursing
- 48:50Speaker 4: homes as well. That these nursing facilities, these care facilities
- 48:54Speaker 4: outside of like the ultra private like church based ones
- 49:00Speaker 4: have really started to struggle with staffing. And and I'm
- 49:06Speaker 4: talking about the you know your level nurses, even even
- 49:10Speaker 4: custodial staffing has become really hard at these because it's
- 49:15Speaker 4: a really hard job, and it should be a really
- 49:18Speaker 4: hard job, but it's it should be a rewarding job
- 49:21Speaker 4: from the places your A friend of mine, in a
- 49:25Speaker 4: conversation about this about a week ago, said, yeah, but
- 49:28Speaker 4: these are all becoming corporate chains and and that again
- 49:32Speaker 4: goes back to the Medicare reimbursement problem, because you know,
- 49:35Speaker 4: a local group can't really afford to run a nursing
- 49:39Speaker 4: home privately. Uh so you almost have to sell out
- 49:43Speaker 4: to a chain or to a big hospital concern, which
- 49:47Speaker 4: again puts more distance between the owners and the patients.
- 49:52Speaker 4: I'm sorry. I know you didn't call to talk about that, but.
- 49:55Speaker 7: Now I'll talk to you off the air.
- 49:57Speaker 19: But you triggered me.
- 49:58Speaker 4: Man, you triggered me. If that's the way you're gonna
- 50:00Speaker 4: do it, I'm done. You can hold me in contempt
- 50:03Speaker 4: until the cows come home. I'm sorry. Anyway, Now, what
- 50:08Speaker 4: actually was on your mind?
- 50:11Speaker 7: Well, I'm not going to talk about the senator race
- 50:13Speaker 7: in Texas or anything like that, or Crockett. I wanted
- 50:16Speaker 7: to bring this up. People talk about needing boots on
- 50:19Speaker 7: the ground and at least some kind of security issues.
- 50:23Speaker 7: I know they're at the early early stages of this war,
- 50:26Speaker 7: but a lot of people don't realize the Strait of
- 50:29Speaker 7: Hormouth is actually twenty one miles long, and then when
- 50:32Speaker 7: it gets to the to the Gulf of Oman, it's
- 50:35Speaker 7: it's actually two miles wide, and it tips parts of Iran,
- 50:40Speaker 7: and then I forget the other side, but that we
- 50:44Speaker 7: can't have that, as we would say, we can't have
- 50:48Speaker 7: that blood vessel included. And then there's the western front
- 50:52Speaker 7: of Afghanistan, which borders I guess the north kind of
- 50:57Speaker 7: the northeast of Iran, and that's like five hundred and
- 51:00Speaker 7: eighty two miles long. And Afghanistan, of course took eighty
- 51:06Speaker 7: five billion dollars worth of equipment that Joe Biden left there,
- 51:11Speaker 7: and that was we had a base there. That was
- 51:14Speaker 7: you know, kind of contingent to US spying on China
- 51:17Speaker 7: and having a place to you know, hit the Middle
- 51:21Speaker 7: Eastern targets. But they're causing a bunch of RUCKUS, you know,
- 51:25Speaker 7: with Pakistan and.
- 51:26Speaker 4: Other their own border issue.
- 51:29Speaker 7: And I think those are two spots that are going
- 51:31Speaker 7: to need military presence.
- 51:34Speaker 4: Well, you may recall that yesterday on that on that
- 51:37Speaker 4: very point, I said, if there's going to be a
- 51:39Speaker 4: place where there are US troops on the ground, and
- 51:41Speaker 4: I'm not talking about the folks who are teaching Iranians
- 51:45Speaker 4: what the Second Amendment means, they may be already there.
- 51:48Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, they probably are. But if
- 51:52Speaker 4: if you're if you're talking about actual station, if there
- 51:56Speaker 4: was going to be one, it's going to be at
- 51:58Speaker 4: the Strait of Horror Moves. Currently, right now, there is
- 52:02Speaker 4: a Honduran flagged tanker fuel tanker Aldo Nova or something
- 52:08Speaker 4: like that. Burning of Atha Nova is But the Iranian
- 52:14Speaker 4: Revolutionary Guards said they blew it up with drones and
- 52:18Speaker 4: it's in the Strait of Horror moves right now burning
- 52:22Speaker 4: they are. So I don't know where Honduras falls in this.
- 52:26Speaker 4: They probably are closer to Venezuela than they are to us.
- 52:31Speaker 4: But Iran using the drones that they're not sending to
- 52:35Speaker 4: Russia to rain a terror down on Kiev there to
- 52:41Speaker 4: cause problems. But if there was going to be a
- 52:43Speaker 4: place I would like to see it be a un
- 52:46Speaker 4: situation because of the importance of the Strait of Hormuz.
- 52:51Speaker 23: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
- 52:55Speaker 23: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
- 52:57Speaker 24: It was metasie that came through force and there there's
- 53:00Speaker 24: no hassles, there was no problem.
- 53:02Speaker 23: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
- 53:05Speaker 23: of such an incredible ministry.
- 53:07Speaker 1: Meta share is a Biblical approach to healthcare where Christians
- 53:11Speaker 1: share each other's medical expenses.
- 53:13Speaker 13: Medishare is a family, a group of people that stick
- 53:17Speaker 13: with you through the hardest times of your life.
- 53:20Speaker 1: Meta share isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over thirty
- 53:24Speaker 1: years old, and members have shared over eight billion dollars
- 53:27Speaker 1: of each other's medical bills.
- 53:28Speaker 2: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
- 53:31Speaker 2: You can focus on on supporting other people.
- 53:33Speaker 20: Meta Share is.
- 53:34Speaker 10: Affordable, Medishare is Biblical, medas Share is family.
