Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: I'm not violating.
- 0:02Speaker 2: Anyone avoiding prosecution isn't the standard that I was shooting
- 0:05for the first.
- 0:06Speaker 3: Thing today by Joe Thomas on the Chunk Media Network,
- 0:10All Natural and Free of Artificial Intelligence.
- 0:33Speaker 2: On this Tednesday morning, Bob was hanging on with us
- 0:36when we went to the news.
- 0:37Speaker 4: Bob, what he had? One more thing?
- 0:38Speaker 5: When you quick thing the person the attorney general candidate
- 0:45who fantasized about killing someone, why didn't the senator or
- 0:49congressman report him? Because that was a threat in someone's life,
- 0:53As President Obaman says, here's something, sees something, say something.
- 0:58So how come he's not following his own favorite president's words?
- 1:03And why didn't he bring that person up to Congress,
- 1:06to Nancy Pelosi, to Chuck Schumer and say, hey, this
- 1:10guy's got a problem. He's fantasizing killing people.
- 1:13Speaker 2: Well, because the Senator Kane wasn't part of the text
- 1:17message chain, this text message went to a Republican and
- 1:21I actually let me bring the substance you sent me there.
- 1:24An email came in from Shane who said the biggest
- 1:28problem Democrats have with Jay Jones is not what he said,
- 1:33but that he said it to a Republican and warsof
- 1:36had a Republican in his cell phone that he could
- 1:39text message with. So I guess in the world of
- 1:42a Democrat, you know, being able to send a text
- 1:45message to a Republican is is probably disqualifying enough.
- 1:51Speaker 5: But that the whole point is, how come then that
- 1:54Republican did not report this guy for the safety of
- 2:00the congressman and his family.
- 2:02Speaker 2: Probably figured at some point, you know, she might be
- 2:05able to use it.
- 2:05Speaker 4: I know.
- 2:06Speaker 2: That's what the craven ones are saying, is that, Oh,
- 2:08she just held onto this because she knew she could
- 2:11use it as as a weapon against him at some
- 2:15other point. Okay, it doesn't mean he didn't say it though, right,
- 2:22But that's.
- 2:23Speaker 5: The point is there's too many things going on. How
- 2:28much money is being collected under the table who's on
- 2:31the take? And that's what Donald Trump needs to clear
- 2:35out everyone in the FBI that was there under Biden
- 2:42and everyonee in the n AH under Faulci, because they're
- 2:49all on the take of the drug companies.
- 2:51Speaker 2: But isn't Isn't this all also indicative that the process itself,
- 2:57even though with good people, needs to be completely disassembled
- 3:01so that the good people can go back to work
- 3:03in law enforcement rather than working towards making a campaign
- 3:09statement for somebody, regardless of who the somebody.
- 3:12Speaker 5: Is, right, I agree, because everything's not going in the
- 3:19best cents of the public. It's all for personal take
- 3:23right now and how much money.
- 3:26Speaker 2: Well, and that goes back to the original corruption of
- 3:29the system.
- 3:29Speaker 4: Thank you, Bob, Hey have a great take.
- 3:33Speaker 2: And by that, before we get our first things here,
- 3:35just by that I mean the Madisonian structure, the Bill
- 3:40of Rights and the US Constitution was not designed to
- 3:45handle and stop gap some of the authoritarianism and some
- 3:49of the expenditures that have been written in under the
- 3:54perversion of the Commerce Clause, which by the way, was
- 3:58used under as one of the premises is for building
- 4:01the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
- 4:05Speaker 4: First things this morning.
- 4:07Speaker 2: Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Senator Susan Collins, Republican
- 4:13of Maine, said on Monday that she's been circulating and
- 4:17I'm sure this will make you feel very comfortable. A
- 4:19discussion draft of a plan that would involve the GOP
- 4:24in the Senate giving a commitment to a bipartisan deal
- 4:28extending the Affordable Care Act subsidies and full year appropriation bills.
- 4:37Democrat senators have refused to vote on any funding legislation
- 4:41unless it codifies an extension of the ACA subsidies, which
- 4:45are sent to expire at the end of the year. Yesterday,
- 4:51marking the two year anniversary of the October seventh attack
- 4:54on Israel by Hamas, a family of one of the
- 4:59hostages and Alexander, along with Edmund were in the.
- 5:04Speaker 4: Oval Office to visit with President Trump.
- 5:07Speaker 2: Texas National Guards troops are in Illinois now JB. Pritzker
- 5:11or not to protect federal personnel and property from anti
- 5:15immigration protests. By the statement from the Pentagon, some two
- 5:21hundred guardsmen are in Illinois. Federal and local authorities conducted
- 5:28a series of raids in San Pedro, California, rounded up
- 5:33fourteen people the leadership of a Mexican mafia outfit in
- 5:38San Pedro, it's the RSP Gang. Fourteen individuals charged with
- 5:45federal complaints. Five of them also's facing state charges. FBI
- 5:53Director Cash Betel promised transparency and accountability looking into the
- 5:58accusations of ser valance into senators as conjoined with the
- 6:05January sixth investigations. He said this is baseless monitoring. Opponents, however,
- 6:13are claiming that it wasn't surveillance, it was just going
- 6:16through records there.
- 6:20Speaker 4: That already existed.
- 6:23Speaker 2: A federal judge upheld the twenty eighteen firing of former
- 6:26FBI Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strock. Judge Amy Burmei Jackson
- 6:33affirmed the termination and ruled the FBI's interest outweighed Strock's
- 6:37speech or agency over agency devices and using tariff collections.
- 6:44The White House will give more money to Wick, which
- 6:47was set to run out of money at the end
- 6:49of next month. And those are our first things here

- 8:04Speaker 10: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:32The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:37has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer and
- 8:46in many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

- 9:02Speaker 11: I'm Andrew Saul, Commission of Self Security. I'm here to
- 9:05warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
- 9:10Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
- 9:13will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
- 9:17personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
- 9:21are not from US. Real solid security employees will never
- 9:26threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
- 9:29call like this, hang up. Never give the call of
- 9:33your personal information like your Social Security number or bank account,
- 9:38or send money in any form cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
- 9:42or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
- 9:46enforcement on the Office of the Inspector General at OIG

- 9:56and family.
- 9:58Speaker 12: Hi, everybody, I'm Jackman and it's always a boy. Growing
- 10:01up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04I'm not only in all of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:09birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 10:12who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 10:15who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 10:18for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 10:23of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 10:26best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 10:29at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 10:32perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
- 10:35at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
- 10:38from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
- 10:41a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
- 10:44variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
- 10:46help those in need. So please join me an American
- 10:49Humane and supporting our heroic working dogs and all the
- 10:52amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go to

- 11:00Speaker 13: Ruhu's buzzed. Oh yeah yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 11:05Speaker 14: And now a speech.
- 11:07Speaker 15: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
- 11:10heart and brain, who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 14: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
- 11:15brain is saying when it's time to go home.
- 11:18Speaker 13: Somebody call me a ride.
- 11:19Speaker 16: Love that guy, me too.
- 11:21Speaker 17: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
- 11:24it's time to go home.
- 11:25Speaker 6: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 11:29Speaker 8: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 11:31costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
- 11:35good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
- 11:39One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 11:42energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
- 11:46learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
- 11:49That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
- 11:53leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
- 11:56improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
- 12:00when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
- 12:02energy Star logo and read the energy Guide label.
- 12:06Speaker 4: And there are day to day things you can do.
- 12:09Speaker 8: Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,
- 12:12close fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep
- 12:15air filters clean. For more tips on saving money by

- 13:09Speaker 3: As QUI for you From Joe Thomas. It's first thing today.
- 13:19Speaker 2: A Ted Stephen Today, This morning Artificial intelligence. You it's
- 13:25it's almost like nuclear energy. I feel like we're at
- 13:28the same place we were back in the seventies when
- 13:31all the horror movies and the sci fi movies are
- 13:33about AI. The same way, you know, they were doing
- 13:37movies about nuclear meltdowns and things like that. Marielle Marinella Prophy,
- 13:43I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mispronounce, but my eyes
- 13:46saw something that wasn't there. Marinella Prophy is a leading
- 13:51expert in AI UH and UH and how it's being
- 13:56used and how it can be used Marinella, how are
- 13:58you this morning?
- 14:01Speaker 1: Hey, Joe? Doing great? How about you? Thanks for having
- 14:04me as not at all?
- 14:06Speaker 2: So help us sort the fanciful sci fi from what
- 14:13really is going on with artificial intelligence these days? Because
- 14:19we see some artwork and things like that. Apparently there
- 14:24was a whole internet thing about Stevie Nicks and Charlie
- 14:29Kirk that was almost entirely generated by AI as I
- 14:32read the story. So where is AI being used? Is
- 14:36AI becoming just like an online gaming platform A? Are
- 14:42there real bits of science and breakthrough going on?
- 14:48Speaker 1: Well? Definitely, the artificial intelligence world, you know, has changed
- 14:54a lot over the past five years. I would say
- 14:58I've been more in a decade now, and I would
- 15:02say that since chad GTT was launched November twenty twenty three,
- 15:07and even though it's since a long time ago, is
- 15:10just two years ago, a lot of things have changed, right,
- 15:13Like what has most changed, Joe is the fact that
- 15:18for the first time in history and the history of
- 15:21the technology, we now have AI, you know, artificials or
- 15:26digital systems that are able to understand and process something
- 15:31that only humans were able to until now, and that
- 15:36is our language So we have systems that are able
- 15:41to speak like us, that are able to understand our
- 15:44language and generate our apply, generate an image, generative video
- 15:49based on a request that humans prompt, whether in the
- 15:54text form or you know, in a voice form, and
- 15:58if you can imagine that in the doors for so
- 16:01many you know, possibilities and applications. What I am more
- 16:07focused on is from a business standpoint, right my job
- 16:10is sasked e's working with organizations to help them understand
- 16:15how to best implement artificial intelligence in a trustworthy way,
- 16:19in an ethical way, to innovate, to you know, to
- 16:23become more competitive, to stay relevant in the market, and
- 16:27provide a better customer experience to their customers. So Jenner
- 16:31TODI have been a transformative technology over the past years
- 16:37because of what I've just mentioned.
- 16:40Speaker 2: It seems to me and I'm just at the consumer
- 16:43sort of digestive system end of what we see in
- 16:47artificial intelligence, and it seems like where we are right
- 16:50now in twenty twenty five, much of the real the
- 16:55dynamic applications of AI have been in days to combing
- 17:01uh the ability of artificial intelligence to go through mountains
- 17:04of data that humans would never have been able to
- 17:07to try to find connections, to try to find similarities
- 17:10and things like that.
- 17:13Speaker 4: How does that match up with what.
- 17:15Speaker 2: You're seeing with the ability to hear our you know,
- 17:19you understand our voices and understand what we're looking for.
- 17:23Is that making the interface with humans easier?
- 17:30Speaker 1: Yeah, so that is a great question. What is changing
- 17:34from from a from an organization, from a data standpoint
- 17:37is that now humans can use artificial intelligence as a
- 17:43bridge to communicate and to get insights from their enterprise knowledge.
- 17:49So let's say you have thousands or you know, millions
- 17:52or documents, whether or videos or any type of file
- 17:58format right whether our compliance, whether our customer complaints or
- 18:05you know, it could be mortgage documents, to be so
- 18:08many different whatever types of documents you can think of. Now,
- 18:13you know, before it was very hard for somebody to
- 18:16they had to go to read through each document or
- 18:19you know, they could only process as many they got
- 18:22as possible, you know, in a limited amount of time.
- 18:25Now you can use artificial intelligence to uh, very quickly
- 18:30go through all that knowledge and become knowledgeable of that
- 18:35knowledge and be able to explain to you, be able
- 18:40to get infect for you, and so you can start
- 18:42asking questions on that knowledge on those documents to our
- 18:46digital systems.
- 18:47Speaker 20: Uh, that is going to be able to provide you insights,
- 18:51to give you a recommendation and suggestions in a much
- 18:56faster way. And so this is changing a lot, uh,
- 19:00the way that humans are interacting with technology. Think about
- 19:03dashboard right, like we don't have. We're going to go
- 19:07more and more towards dashboards that are more.
- 19:09Speaker 1: Like communications systems, Like they're going to be able to
- 19:13just communicate with you rather than us having to build
- 19:16by hand each graph, each tight, hard each you know,
- 19:19whatever type of deaskbold you don't think of. And so
- 19:22the user experience with the technology is becoming more, you know,
- 19:27more communication based, more tech based, and we're going to
- 19:31see more and more voice based where we're going to
- 19:34have we're gonna start interacting with the devices in a
- 19:37different in a different way. The main questions obviously become
- 19:41can we trust these technologies?
- 19:43Speaker 14: Right?
- 19:43Speaker 1: And that's what the goal of the study was all about,
- 19:46to see how are people trusting this new technology? Are
- 19:49they trusting use the level of trust that they're giving
- 19:51these systems impacting the results they're getting from it or not?
- 19:56Speaker 2: So let me ask you this because it has been
- 19:59brought to my ten and by several of the folks
- 20:02who watch what goes on on the internet. As as
- 20:06artificial intelligence interacts with more of us, it starts to
- 20:11act like more of us. And is it trolls through
- 20:16and maybe that's the wrong word, as it scrolls through
- 20:19our Internet activities and those kind of things.
- 20:22Speaker 4: Is it learning all good stuff from us?
- 20:25Speaker 2: Or is it, you know, something we have to watch
- 20:28out for, patterning some of our let's call them lesser angels.
- 20:37Speaker 21: So the when AI, the more you know, AI strained
- 20:45on data, and the I strained on all data.
- 20:49Speaker 17: That we have.
- 20:50Speaker 1: So we learned from us, all of us, and as
- 20:52humans we are beautifully imperfect. So AI does not just
- 20:56absorb our creativity and intelligence, it also picks up our biases,
- 21:01our stereotypes, and either our bad online behavior. So the
- 21:06real question isn't whether I learned only the good things.
- 21:09It's whether we're teaching it the right things right. And
- 21:12that's why I think like data, quality, governance, ethical design
- 21:16matrors so so much. If we feed AI information is
- 21:22going to mirror that. If we feed superiency, fairness, human
- 21:26values equifies those two and so that is the work
- 21:29that we do here, a task with organizations, our data
- 21:33ethics practice exactly to build systems that you know, are
- 21:39we feed the right amount of information that are needed
- 21:42for a GIGON use case.
- 21:45Speaker 2: Well, and it's SaaS dot Com Marinella. I appreciate your
- 21:50time to talk about kind of that stuff. And what
- 21:53do you think the next year is going to bring? Well, yeah,
- 22:00a tough question.
- 22:01Speaker 22: Right, Let's see if something costs less but people are
- 22:04happier with it, that sounds like something to look into.
- 22:07And that is meta share. Maybe you've heard switching to
- 22:10meta share to pay for healthcare can save many families
- 22:12up to five hundred bucks a month, and that is huge.
- 22:15But it's also true that people are way more satisfied
- 22:18after making the switch too. The members satisfaction rate for
- 22:21meta share is double that of the typical health insurance plan.
- 22:25Speaker 3: Double.
- 22:25Speaker 22: Meta share works too. It's been around for thirty years.
- 22:28Members have shared more than five billion dollars of each
- 22:31other's bills. People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide
- 22:34PPO network. So yeah, really you can save a ton
- 22:37and like it better. Imagine being happy with how you're
- 22:40taking care of your healthcare. So if you're self employed
- 22:42or part of the gig economy, or you just want

- 28:16Media Network by Joe Thomas.
- 28:25Speaker 4: Pete writes in four three four eight a two four
- 28:30two one seven text message from Pete, Joe.
- 28:34Speaker 22: You're all wrong, You're all wrong.
- 28:36Speaker 4: You're all wrong.
- 28:40Speaker 2: It isn't that Jay Jones has a friendly enough relationship
- 28:44with a Republican to have her cell phone number, although
- 28:48that should be disqualifying enough. It's that he has a gun.
- 28:53Don't you understand Democrat ideology? How could he possibly pop
- 28:57a cap into Todd Gilbert's head if he didn't know
- 29:03and know how to operate a firearm? That should be
- 29:08disqualifying for the Democrats enough, ps what happens if he
- 29:13does bow out? Democrats would be allowed to appoint a
- 29:20replacement for him, and there was a primary so This
- 29:27is and the primary fact.
- 29:35Speaker 4: In and of itself, because this.
- 29:36Speaker 2: Was not a conversation Jay Jones had just with the
- 29:40Republican coiner. It was actually a text if you go
- 29:46back to the National Review piece with the actual screen caps,
- 29:54and for those who were in my inbox saying, Joe,
- 29:58this is just October sopri she held on to you know,
- 30:01she sat on this for three years because she knew
- 30:05she'd use it against him at some point. Why in
- 30:09twenty twenty two did the guy say, Hey, I'm going
- 30:12to run for attorney general. Now he's been running for
- 30:14attorney general for almost a year and change. She could
- 30:18have put it out anytime. Sure, is it an October surprise?
- 30:22Speaker 4: Yeah? Did he say it? Yeah? If you say stuff
- 30:28like that, you need to figure out.
- 30:30Speaker 2: This is why opposition research not to get all West
- 30:33Wing on you, but opposition research, the kind that they
- 30:37were claiming that crossfire hurricane was, is supposed to, more
- 30:43over than anything else, find weaknesses, find weaknesses, dig into
- 30:54your opponents. But if you ask anyone who's successfully ever
- 30:58run for office, the first thing you do opposition research
- 31:04into as soon as you're the nominee for an office
- 31:08is yourself and nobody ever orders that but the campaign manager.
- 31:13The first thing they do when they hire opposition research
- 31:17is do opposition research into the candidate. This is why
- 31:23all the crap about John Reid was so silly, because
- 31:27anything that really existed about him would have been found
- 31:31in opposition research and it wasn't because it would have
- 31:37been brought up and he would have bowed out of
- 31:39the race. So why was the Democratic Party of Virginia
- 31:47so ensourcelled by Jay Jones that they skipped doing the
- 31:54due diligence of background to see if there was anything
- 31:57like this.
- 31:57Speaker 4: Because Democrats knew he said stuff like that.
- 32:05Speaker 2: So the fact that there was a primary process where
- 32:20Shannon Taylor, common oal's attorney for an area just around Richmond,
- 32:25Henriiko County, and Steve Descano, Soros funded backed Commonal's attorney
- 32:33from Fairfax County, were both in the race. Descano stepped
- 32:41out for some reason decided decline to but Shannon Taylor
- 32:45was in there and she knew, she knew these texts existed,
- 32:49and she didn't use them. So what would probably happen
- 32:58is the Democratic Party would apply point if they're going
- 33:02to be fair, if they if they're going to bring
- 33:05in the same team that handled Joe Biden stepping out
- 33:08of the race. They would probably just go with Shannon
- 33:13Taylor or harken back to somebody who had been Attorney general,
- 33:20like a Mark Herring and saying, would you do it again?
- 33:23Would you be our nominee again? Maybe a party elder
- 33:30like a Cree Deed's just to you know, say, all right,
- 33:34Cree's riding out on the sun set, he's one hundred
- 33:36and seven years old or whatever. Just let him be
- 33:38the AG for a little while. He ran for AG
- 33:41against Bob McDonald in two thousand and.
- 33:46Speaker 4: Seven.
- 33:50Speaker 2: No, two thousand and five, thank you, that's right. It
- 33:53was a runoff election. It was a recount. Pardon me,
- 33:58not a runoff for recount collection.
- 34:01Speaker 4: But they probably would do that.
- 34:02Speaker 2: They would probably say, you know what, Creedeads tried to
- 34:04be the AG. No, but we've in Virginia. People have
- 34:10been voting for a month now. Supposedly, all these turnouts,
- 34:15all this high voter turnout is Democrats two to one.
- 34:19According to Poles that all the people they talk to.
- 34:27Speaker 4: Say that.
- 34:29Speaker 2: Sixty I think sixty three to thirty seven. The people
- 34:34who have already voted in Virginia are Democrats? Means they
- 34:38voted for Jay Jones and if he bowed out of
- 34:43this race. But I go back to the column that'll
- 34:47be published later today at Daily Signal dot com. This
- 34:52is an office that can target and I'm not saying
- 34:56he's gonna, you know, shoot people, but you see the
- 35:00punitive mindset. Disagree with me, cross me, and I'm gonna
- 35:05go JR.
- 35:06Speaker 4: Ewing on you. I don't know, is there a better analogy.
- 35:13Speaker 2: I mean, there's got to be a more modern analogy
- 35:16than JR.
- 35:16Speaker 4: Ewing?
- 35:17Speaker 2: How many people even remember who JR. Ewing is or
- 35:20was as a character? You've vindictive? What's the Blacklist? Was
- 35:29the guy's name from Blacklist? He seemed like a JR.
- 35:32Ewing kind of guy. But maybe that's even too old
- 35:39of a reference. But because the Attorney General's offices, and
- 35:44this is why I bring this up in my Daily
- 35:46Signal column. This piece done by the government Accountability and
- 35:50Oversight showing that Michael Bloomberg spent billions of dollars hiring attorneys.
- 35:56So we still have the report up here and is
- 36:02called law Enforcement for Rent. So here's how this is.
- 36:10Reading from the report after collecting public records confirming public
- 36:15records confirm. Under the unusual arrangement offered by Bloomberg's Center
- 36:20based at New York University, a state Attorney General's office
- 36:24quote hires the NYU Impact Center as an attorney. The
- 36:31client pays nothing. Its consideration to NYU is in receiving
- 36:37the NYU Impact Center's prosecutors, who promise they will work
- 36:42on specified issues expressially of NYU's interest, and report back
- 36:47to NYU according to specified schedules. This all cross referenced
- 36:53than the report. You can read it all. NYU also
- 36:57affords the Attorney's General a pro bono network of lawyers
- 37:02and communication staffers who is dedicated to the work that
- 37:06the office agrees to perform, which is going after the
- 37:10people who gave money to people who questioned climate the
- 37:16climate cult. So if you, for example, let's pick a
- 37:25nonprofit one of those the think tanks, James Madison Institute
- 37:34in Florida. Let's pick that one. They are supported by contributions.
- 37:41If your contribution then gets you investigated by the Attorney
- 37:46General's office, not that it would happen to Florida, but
- 37:49you know what I'm saying, Well, maybe you don't want
- 37:51to give money to that organization anymore unless you open
- 37:55yourself up not just to scrutiny, but to the legal
- 37:58fees and to defend you yourself.
- 38:01Speaker 13: In twenty twenty four, the American Heart Association celebrates one
- 38:05hundred years of life saving service as the world's leading
- 38:08nonprofit organization focused on heart and brain health. Heart disease
- 38:12still kills more people in the United States each year
- 38:14than all types of cancer combined, but more than half
- 38:17of Americans are unaware of this fact, according to a
- 38:20recent Harris Pole survey conducted for the American Heart Association. However,
- 38:25the majority of heart disease is preventable. New research has
- 38:28improved the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of heart disease and
- 38:32its risk factors. Efforts led by the American Heart Association
- 38:35have reduced deaths from heart disease by half over the
- 38:38past century and helped people with heart disease live longer

- 44:15Speaker 3: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Chalk Median Network.
- 44:21Speaker 4: On a Ted Steve Morning.
- 44:25Speaker 2: And and this is why you know when we talk
- 44:28about it and we listened to it in the Pam
- 44:31Bondi stuff and so and when when you listen to
- 44:36Dick Durbin and Mazie Herono and and these folks go
- 44:42off on Pam Bondy and weaponization of law enforcement.
- 44:46Speaker 4: Uh.
- 44:46Speaker 2: And I bring these things up because they happened before
- 44:55and and they can happen on both sides. It should
- 44:58be from where I I know, I tilted windmills. It
- 45:06should be a bipartisan issue. Don't you think this should
- 45:11not be a Republican or Democrat thing that law enforcement
- 45:16can go after your political opponents. To be fair, our
- 45:23friends at the Government Accountability and Oversight Group point out.
- 45:28Speaker 4: Rightfully.
- 45:29Speaker 2: So the fact that they wanted to use these ags
- 45:32to silence the opponent just adds gravity to it. But
- 45:36that doesn't help if you've been silenced. Eric Schneiderman, the
- 45:40disgrace New York Attorney General, coordinated this cabal of attorneys
- 45:45general who were going after the money, going after the contributions. Now,
- 45:50you may like or dislike money in government. Here's an
- 45:54email from Larry that says, good, go after the people
- 46:00giving money to these shadowy operations. I don't have a
- 46:03problem with that, Joe.
- 46:04Speaker 4: Why do you?
- 46:06Speaker 2: Well, First off, money is my prerogative, money is my property.
- 46:13Are you telling me you want the government to tell
- 46:15me how I can use my property. I know we
- 46:18don't think it that way. But if we're ever, ever, ever,
- 46:22ever going to get back to being a free society
- 46:26based on your efforts leading to your prosperity, we have
- 46:32to get back to that essential rule that money is property.
- 46:39I know the sixteenth Amendment ignores that, but it is
- 46:47the most important. So if you're telling me I can't
- 46:56use my money as I see fit, then we do
- 46:58not have a free society, and conversation ends. But if
- 47:04you're going to investigate me for how I use my money,
- 47:10are you claiming that I used it for an illegal purpose?
- 47:18And while the FBI is investigating senators for their involvement
- 47:23in January sixth, where's the FBI's investigation into the two
- 47:27hundred and forty seven FBI agents and confidential informants that
- 47:31they now admit were involved in the crowd involved. But
- 47:42if Maisie Herono and Dick Durbin want to raise the
- 47:46question of weaponized law enforcement, let's do that. Let's put
- 47:51the firewalls back in there. Let's add more courtrooms so
- 47:58that these trials and these hearings can be more frequently.
- 48:04Speaker 4: On the docket. All you have to do. And this
- 48:07is a great point. I think it was my friend.
- 48:10Speaker 2: From the Competitive Enterprise Institute, Wayne Cruz, who is the
- 48:18annually author is a great book called The Ten Thousand
- 48:21Commandments about the bloat of bureaucracy in Washington, d C.
- 48:28But he and I were having a conversation once and
- 48:30we were talking about these bureaucracy courts. They're called administrative courts.
- 48:39They have judges, they have court clerks, and all these
- 48:42reporters and all the things you'd expect in an Article
- 48:46three court, which is constitutional court. He come to judge, here,
- 48:51come to judge. You would go a long way and
- 48:56if not completely fulfill the idea of a better and
- 49:01more robust justice system. If you took these article these
- 49:05administrative courts and put them on the Article three roster,
- 49:10just move them there. They would have to have some
- 49:12substantive things changed, like they would have to actually believe
- 49:18that you're innocent until proven guilty, which is the opposite
- 49:21of what these administrative courts go for. But you would
- 49:26have instant court system. And these are judges, and they
- 49:33are lawyers, and they are court clerks. I mean, they're
- 49:35all the things that you would want in an article
- 49:38three founded court. They're just right now working for the bureaucracy.
- 49:45They're working for the cabinet. They're the EPA courts and
- 49:49the IRS courts and the FCC courts and all of
- 49:53those places. But when j Jones says I want to
- 50:01shoot my opponent or just somebody, it wasn't even an opponent.
- 50:06It's something like Jay Jones was trying to get Todd
- 50:08Gilbert's job. He just felt like Todd Gilbert, being as
- 50:13staunch conservative, was a pain in his arse that deserved to.
- 50:17Speaker 4: Be out ousted.
- 50:23Speaker 2: Ironically, he was the guy complaining about Republicans, saying nice
- 50:29things about Democrats while he was texting with a Republican.
- 50:35But the danger in this is this is the keys
- 50:37to a candy shop that can go after as this
- 50:40Government Accountability and Oversight report details in such thoroughness that
- 50:51somebody whose thought processes go immediately to retribution should.
- 50:57Speaker 4: Never ever, ever, ever, ever ever.
- 51:02Speaker 2: Have the access to that kind of awesome power. And
- 51:12as I said in the piece, imagine an enemy's list,
- 51:17for you know, let's recreate this scenario that Mark Herring
- 51:22the previous and it's Schneidermann in New York. It was
- 51:25New York, it was I think Massachusetts. There were some
- 51:29attorney generals in Oakland, New Jersey I believe was part
- 51:37of it as well, and some of them still have
- 51:40these ages. Bloomberg's still doing this. But imagine an age
- 51:46who can get in there with political retribution in his
- 51:50heart and a list of enemies written by the Southern
- 51:54Poverty Law Center and Greenpeace and Antifa. Imagine what he
- 52:06could start doing. And it wouldn't be going after you.
- 52:10That's too obviously a First Amendment violation. We would go
- 52:15after Let's say the advertisers on your radio show. You
