- 0:42Speaker 3: grateful that you're there with us this morning at four three,
- 0:46Speaker 3: four eight eight two four to two one seven, and
- 0:52Speaker 3: more details coming out about the CIA operation that this
- 0:57Speaker 3: guy was part of. And I'm concerned as the ease
- 1:02Speaker 3: in which we're finding out about this twenty nine year
- 1:05Speaker 3: old Afghan national, yet we still don't know anything about
- 1:08Speaker 3: the sixteen year old son of a couple of social
- 1:11Speaker 3: workers from Butler, Pennsylvania. Why is that? Doesn't that disquiet
- 1:18Speaker 3: you that we can find out all this about an
- 1:21Speaker 3: Afghan national that worked for the CIA in many cases
- 1:26Speaker 3: from the CIA after now killing he's now charged. You're
- 1:31Speaker 3: gonna have to be charged with at very least second
- 1:35Speaker 3: degree murder as one of the National Guard soldiers succumb
- 1:40Speaker 3: to their injuries. But doesn't it set your spider senses
- 1:47Speaker 3: a tingle when we know more about this guy in
- 1:54Speaker 3: forty eight hours than we still to this date know
- 1:58Speaker 3: about a sixteen year old or even the one up
- 2:00Speaker 3: and shot Charlie Kirk dead and he's in custody getting
- 2:09Speaker 3: bolt Butler's deceased, but his parents are still around. And
- 2:15Speaker 3: we learned a lot in the first twelve hours after
- 2:17Speaker 3: the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, and then all of
- 2:22Speaker 3: a sudden that all went away and you were told, no, no,
- 2:24Speaker 3: that's the Mandela effect. We didn't We didn't say anything
- 2:27Speaker 3: about his parents both being social workers. Don't know where
- 2:33Speaker 3: you got that. Screen caps of the story would go, well,
- 2:38Speaker 3: that was that was in the panic of a mobile situation,
- 2:43Speaker 3: and you can't trust all that stuff, and you know,
- 2:45Speaker 3: are you gonna believe me or your lyon eyes? But
- 2:51Speaker 3: now this guy you know in the training and part
- 2:53Speaker 3: of this is I think intentional coming out of the
- 2:57Speaker 3: CIA about telling you about this guy covert work with
- 3:01Speaker 3: the Taliban. We'll get further in and further up with
- 3:05Speaker 3: all this coming up for you. First thing today that

- 10:07Speaker 9: type two diabetes, heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a
- 10:10Speaker 9: million people a year. Even sadder, most of these deaths
- 10:14Speaker 9: are preventable with a few lifestyle changes, including regular activity,
- 10:18Speaker 9: healthier eating, and not smoking. Talk to your doctor about
- 10:23Speaker 9: your risk for type two diabetes and heart disease, and
- 10:26Speaker 9: if your doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication, listen. The

- 13:14Speaker 1: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
- 13:19Speaker 1: the second most Famous Thomas and Charlotte's with.
- 13:21Speaker 10: It whatelse aflati is is important to me?
- 13:28Speaker 5: My damn fang?
- 13:29Speaker 11: What?
- 13:31Speaker 10: Education?
- 13:32Speaker 16: Arbitration, equalization, Unitedations, race relationsimizationation.
- 13:42Speaker 10: COMA player.
- 13:45Speaker 8: Bringing up.
- 13:49Speaker 3: So Eric Swolwell and thank you to Eddie are research
- 13:53Speaker 3: director here at First Thing Today reminded me that it
- 13:57Speaker 3: was fang fang. It was the whatever, not even like
- 14:02Speaker 3: a what I suggested that it sounds like a Bond villain.
- 14:05Speaker 3: It's not even like a good one, like a Pierce
- 14:07Speaker 3: Brosnan Bond villain, not like odd job you know in
- 14:13Speaker 3: the day. And I'm not a Sean Connery snob, believe me.
- 14:17Speaker 3: Daniel Craig, you know, is my personal of all the
- 14:23Speaker 3: James Bonds. I'm sorry, Yeah, I know there's this, you know,
- 14:28Speaker 3: but Daniel Craig got it, I think in ways that
- 14:33Speaker 3: no one ever had before. But some of the era
- 14:36Speaker 3: I just started to get a little goofy there towards
- 14:39Speaker 3: the end of at the end of the run, there
- 14:45Speaker 3: a little bit with the and I know they're going
- 14:47Speaker 3: to reboot it. I don't know. Daniel Craig took a
- 14:49Speaker 3: missile and the kisser in the last one. I don't
- 14:51Speaker 3: know how you get him back, but supposedly, and in
- 14:56Speaker 3: that movie they introduced the fact that m can give
- 14:59Speaker 3: somebody else the number of double seven. So I think
- 15:03Speaker 3: that's supposed to be left there for you to steam
- 15:05Speaker 3: some new broccoli and see what's coming next. But thank
- 15:10Speaker 3: you for reminding us that it was Fang Fang. It
- 15:13Speaker 3: was Eric Swalwell's squeeze agent of the Chinese Communist Party
- 15:20Speaker 3: and in California, is that really a negative? I mean,
- 15:23Speaker 3: come on, so he wants to be governor of California
- 15:26Speaker 3: and wants you to be able to vote by phone.
- 15:29Speaker 3: Nothing could go wrong with that, right, nothing at all.
- 15:33Speaker 3: Just take out some cell towers and all of a sudden,
- 15:35Speaker 3: entire parts of the state can't vote anymore. But these
- 15:40Speaker 3: machinations are all part of a program. And I mentioned
- 15:43Speaker 3: it earlier a couple of folks texted about liquid democracy.
- 15:50Speaker 3: Liquid democracy is a philosophy created right in the hotbed
- 15:54Speaker 3: of the technocracy movement, when the brilliant people, the parchment
- 16:00Speaker 3: wielding PhDs of America started deciding that you are just
- 16:06Speaker 3: you guys to flyover country. And of course they couldn't
- 16:10Speaker 3: call it flyover country because we hadn't started flying yet.
- 16:13Speaker 3: But all you rubes from the sticks really couldn't be
- 16:17Speaker 3: trusted with democracy. I mean, come on, vote for everything,
- 16:23Speaker 3: But how do you convince somebody that you can't vote
- 16:26Speaker 3: for everything? Overdo it? It's cloward and pivot crash the system.
- 16:32Speaker 3: So make everything up for a vote and people lose
- 16:40Speaker 3: their ability to even think straight about it, and then
- 16:43Speaker 3: you can swoop in with things like proxy voting. That's
- 16:49Speaker 3: a big part of Charles Dodgson's philosophy. Charles Dodgson is
- 16:54Speaker 3: the promulgator of this liquid democracy plan, all of which
- 17:00Speaker 3: and the first time I read it, I wrot. This
- 17:02Speaker 3: is oh, this is frighteningly crazy stuff. Oh he wrote
- 17:07Speaker 3: Alice in Wonderland too, Well, that makes sense, and we
- 17:10Speaker 3: lampooned to a degree. But every time somebody like Eric
- 17:13Speaker 3: Swalwell comes out and says, I think we should vote
- 17:16Speaker 3: by phone, we do so much other stuff. Yeah, and
- 17:19Speaker 3: it all gets hacked, and it all winds up in
- 17:22Speaker 3: some basement of some cell company in China being sorted through.
- 17:29Speaker 3: I don't you know as bad as it was when
- 17:32Speaker 3: Venezuela's Dominion voting machines were miscounting votes for us that
- 17:44Speaker 3: and they just found hundreds of votes in Arizona. Gee,
- 17:47Speaker 3: no problems with voting in Arizona twenty twenty four, right
- 17:56Speaker 3: that if you put it on everybody's cell phone, Oh
- 18:01Speaker 3: my goodness. And then as part of liquid democracy, this
- 18:08Speaker 3: proxy voting where your vote almost becomes something tradable. It's
- 18:12Speaker 3: like a They call it the not the bitcoins, but
- 18:16Speaker 3: the non fungible tokens, the NFTs. So your ballot becomes
- 18:20Speaker 3: an NFT that you can trade. And part of liquid
- 18:25Speaker 3: democracy would allow the government, if you don't vote, to
- 18:31Speaker 3: vote for you, so that we can be confident in
- 18:34Speaker 3: the one hundred percent voter turnout. I'm not kidding. And
- 18:40Speaker 3: it's languished for one hundred years until somebody said this
- 18:43Speaker 3: is pretty cool, and the only way to protect representative
- 18:51Speaker 3: republicanism is if we all vote secretly in public. It is,
- 19:00Speaker 3: and it sounds discordant, I understand that, but you understand.
- 19:05Speaker 3: The premise is that we want to make sure that
- 19:07Speaker 3: American citizens are voting without coercion of their own free volition,
- 19:16Speaker 3: and so we ask you to come publicly to a
- 19:20Speaker 3: central location and cast your ballot so that officials of
- 19:24Speaker 3: the government are there to either protect you from coercion
- 19:28Speaker 3: or observe any coercion that may be going on that
- 19:32Speaker 3: would be tainting your individual decision regarding the matter at hand. Eddie,
- 19:42Speaker 3: great point, Eddie, So would roaming rates on your cell
- 19:45Speaker 3: phone service count as a poll tax? And then well,
- 19:50Speaker 3: and if I'm pinging off the wrong cell phone tower,
- 19:54Speaker 3: can I still vote in my home district? And what's
- 19:59Speaker 3: to stop me from spoofing a few accounts through VPN
- 20:03Speaker 3: and voting five, six, seven, eight, ten times I mean,
- 20:06Speaker 3: I don't know how much VPN you can do. I
- 20:09Speaker 3: have a very business oriented VPN that doesn't allow me
- 20:12Speaker 3: to well, I guess I could technically manipulate my office
- 20:16Speaker 3: computers to do things that make it look like, well,
- 20:20Speaker 3: Joe is sitting in his office when he did this,
- 20:22Speaker 3: when I was in my bed with my laptop. But
- 20:26Speaker 3: how much VPN can you use to manipulate the votes? Eric?
- 20:35Speaker 3: And one of the things he said, and this brought
- 20:37Speaker 3: back this Fulton County, Georgia story that the trial of
- 20:42Speaker 3: the century, the one that gives rise to the whole
- 20:45Speaker 3: Trump was trying to overturn the twenty twenty election. That
- 20:49Speaker 3: whole case dismissed on Wednesday, right before Thanksgiving, as the
- 20:54Speaker 3: Giblets were just starting to boil. Judge McAfee and Fulton
- 20:58Speaker 3: County dismissed at the request of Fanny Willis's regents, the
- 21:03Speaker 3: Prosecutorial Association of Georgio whatever. They dropped the case. Scandalacus,
- 21:10Speaker 3: the guy who was so popular it was on Time
- 21:13Speaker 3: magazine Everything, picked up the case for Fanny Willis. He
- 21:21Speaker 3: requested the dismissal. They had nothing, but how quickly would
- 21:33Speaker 3: voting by phone get corrupted? If you think the dominion
- 21:37Speaker 3: voting machines are hackable and stackable, what do you think
- 21:42Speaker 3: is happening to your cell phone right now? Never mind
- 21:46Speaker 3: the chips and everything made by Huawei in Beijing. But
- 21:52Speaker 3: of course Eric Swalwell wants this. It's not like he's
- 21:56Speaker 3: going to lose if he's the only Democrat running in California.
- 21:59Speaker 20: But hey, guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National League training for
- 22:04Speaker 20: Planet Fitness, and the American Heart Association recommends that we
- 22:07Speaker 20: all get at least one hundred and fifty minutes of
- 22:10Speaker 20: moderate aerobic activity in a week's time. But here's the thing,
- 22:13Speaker 20: that one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to
- 22:15Speaker 20: be super intense. As a matter of fact, it could
- 22:18Speaker 20: just be you moving your body and doing what you
- 22:20Speaker 20: already love to do, like exercise. And a stronger heart
- 22:23Speaker 20: doesn't just mean cardio, right, it means also infusing your

- 28:30Speaker 3: How was your Thanksgiving there, sir?
- 28:32Speaker 10: It was good. Got to play a little golf in
- 28:35Speaker 10: sixty five degree weather.
- 28:36Speaker 3: Nice, it was terrific.
- 28:38Speaker 26: I went over to the villages where pineapples are still
- 28:41Speaker 26: a big part of your festivity. Inside joke, go ahead
- 28:45Speaker 26: and google that and see what you find. But with
- 28:48Speaker 26: you know a lot of NFL football, And you got
- 28:51Speaker 26: to see my cousin.
- 28:52Speaker 3: He and I grew up like brothers and nice.
- 28:55Speaker 10: In Iowa, so it's always good.
- 28:57Speaker 26: He was in Richmond for a lot of years and
- 28:58Speaker 26: retired to the villages, and his wife said.
- 29:00Speaker 10: I'll never I could never live in Florida. Well, I
- 29:03Speaker 10: guess what, four years they're having a ball.
- 29:04Speaker 3: So yeah, the villages isn't really Florida.
- 29:07Speaker 26: Yeah, golf carts everywhere, they're all tricked out. Every guy
- 29:09Speaker 26: I saw, I mean I saw an Ohio State golf
- 29:12Speaker 26: cart a Michigan golf cart actually parked next to each other.
- 29:15Speaker 26: I was surprised, you know. So it's no, it's always
- 29:20Speaker 26: a good time. And so today this just begins a
- 29:23Speaker 26: terrific weekend. Now, yeah, the NFL had three good games yesterday,
- 29:26Speaker 26: the Joe Burrow returned. Yeah, the chief ste are terrible.
- 29:31Speaker 26: You know, Dallas is making headway. And anyway, it was
- 29:34Speaker 26: just it was a good day yesterday. If you know
- 29:36Speaker 26: you're follow in sports and everything and then spilling into
- 29:39Speaker 26: college basketball with everything going on, but now you got
- 29:43Speaker 26: you got college football today, oh miss and Mississippi State
- 29:46Speaker 26: and the egg ball at noon Eastern time in Starkville.
- 29:48Speaker 10: The game was coined by the way the egg ball.
- 29:51Speaker 26: In nineteen seventy nine, a writer by the name of
- 29:55Speaker 26: Tom Patterson of the Clarion Ledger in Jackson, Mississippi, with
- 29:59Speaker 26: both programs were just average, said this is the egg ball.
- 30:02Speaker 26: He just you know, so it's stuck. It's still the
- 30:05Speaker 26: egg ball. They played with the golden egg today. But anyway,
- 30:09Speaker 26: the writers, the writers are doing all they can because well,
- 30:13Speaker 26: I'm not on the edge of my football couch and
- 30:16Speaker 26: blankets waiting for the Lane Kiffin decision.
- 30:19Speaker 3: But of course the.
- 30:19Speaker 10: Press, the press conference notes kept coming.
- 30:22Speaker 3: Here they are just because of the m beuty.
- 30:25Speaker 17: I'm just curious when Keith says expects a decision on Saturday,
- 30:28Speaker 17: is that a decision that's been made or is that
- 30:30Speaker 17: still in consideration?
- 30:32Speaker 3: Like people just curious about that.
- 30:34Speaker 15: Yeah, So I mean you can just keep going, not
- 30:38Speaker 15: going to answer them.
- 30:39Speaker 3: So that's three of them.
- 30:40Speaker 26: You had another one, No, I got one about uh yeah,
- 30:43Speaker 26: and then of course he went into it, you know,
- 30:44Speaker 26: went into a player description. So there it is. But
- 30:48Speaker 26: number four Georgia, twenty third ringe Georgia Tech meet at
- 30:50Speaker 26: three thirty Texas A and M and number sixteen Texas
- 30:53Speaker 26: in Austin tonight at seven thirty Texas.
- 30:56Speaker 10: I think it's favored in that game at home or
- 30:59Speaker 10: getting just a couple point. I can't remember.
- 31:00Speaker 26: I'll have to look at that. But anyway, so those are,
- 31:04Speaker 26: you know, the outstanding. There's a lot more football today,
- 31:06Speaker 26: but those were now over the weekend. Of course, some
- 31:09Speaker 26: call it the greatest rivalry in sports, played every year
- 31:12Speaker 26: at the end of the season since nineteen thirty five.
- 31:14Speaker 26: You know I'm talking about Ohio State Michigan. Well, Michigan
- 31:17Speaker 26: has won four in a row. The Bucks have been
- 31:20Speaker 26: the Buckeyes have been ranked number two each time over
- 31:25Speaker 26: the last four years. Ryan Day has one win over
- 31:28Speaker 26: Big Blue in his career. That came in twenty nineteen.
- 31:31Speaker 26: So and this is not going to happen. But this
- 31:34Speaker 26: was in the College the game notes for Ohio State.
- 31:37Speaker 26: A loss to Michigan coupled with Purdue and Washington wins
- 31:40Speaker 26: over Indiana and Oregon, respectively, would pit Michigan against Ohio
- 31:45Speaker 26: State in the Big Ten title game. Well, guess what,
- 31:48Speaker 26: that's not good happen, But they wanted to make sure
- 31:51Speaker 26: that note was there. Ohio State has not lost a
- 31:54Speaker 26: game nor trailed in the second half of a game
- 31:58Speaker 26: since the Michigan game last year thirteen ten Michigan at
- 32:03Speaker 26: Ohio Stadium. So anyway, worth a look. Of course, Michigan
- 32:07Speaker 26: Ohio stateium.
- 32:07Speaker 3: And no sign stealing now, so yeah, well that's true.
- 32:11Speaker 10: Saron Wore's gotta be he's got to be you know,
- 32:13Speaker 10: gotta be good, gotta be nice.
- 32:15Speaker 26: So all right, and then of course close to home,
- 32:18Speaker 26: the Virginia Virginia Tech game. It takes such you know,
- 32:21Speaker 26: it's such a headline.
- 32:22Speaker 1: Now.
- 32:22Speaker 26: The nineteen eighty nine COACC champion squad is the only
- 32:27Speaker 26: UVA team to win ten games in a year. The
- 32:30Speaker 26: ninety five COACC championship team the team to be Florida
- 32:34Speaker 26: state member and stop the winning stream, the only Cavilier
- 32:37Speaker 26: contingent to win seven ACC games in the season.
- 32:41Speaker 10: So the Cavs are six and one.
- 32:43Speaker 26: So anyway, UVA heads into the game nationally ranking ins
- 32:47Speaker 26: Tech for the first time since twenty eleven, when it
- 32:51Speaker 26: garnered the number twenty four spot in the AP pole. Now,
- 32:53Speaker 26: the twenty nineteen Bryce Perkins performance was was legendary. Is
- 32:58Speaker 26: this a night for Chandler More? Chandler has been getting,
- 33:01Speaker 26: you know, all kinds of cred and he should. He
- 33:04Speaker 26: loves Tony Elliott. He's been on the same page with
- 33:07Speaker 26: Tony Elliott. He likes that Tony Elliott pretty much leaves
- 33:10Speaker 26: him alone and Chandler Morris ready to rock and roll.
- 33:14Speaker 27: He'll leave me alone. He knows, he knows I've played
- 33:16Speaker 27: a lot of snaps. He'll leave me alone, but then
- 33:18Speaker 27: he'll come up to me too, and he'll challenge me.
- 33:20Speaker 27: And that's something I haven't really haven't really been around much,
- 33:23Speaker 27: and so I actually told him last week. I was
- 33:26Speaker 27: very appreciative of him on that, just just pushing me
- 33:29Speaker 27: and challenging me each week. So that's something that I've
- 33:33Speaker 27: really really liked about coaching. Fans are jacked up. It's great,
- 33:36Speaker 27: too great to put some stuff on the field for them.
- 33:40Speaker 27: And just knowing, I mean, coming here, I knew they
- 33:42Speaker 27: were hungry. They wanted to have success and have it quickly.
- 33:45Speaker 27: So it's awesome they've been helping us at home time.
- 33:49Speaker 10: Yeah, so Saturday's high you probably know this.
- 33:52Speaker 26: Tomorrow's high in your area is what round forty two
- 33:54Speaker 26: degrees or of the upper thirties for the.
- 33:56Speaker 10: Seven o'clock game.
- 33:57Speaker 26: You know, the Tech Virginia games, especially late in the
- 34:00Speaker 26: year and especially when they're played at night, are normally
- 34:03Speaker 26: not the warmest of football.
- 34:05Speaker 1: Uh.
- 34:05Speaker 3: Well, and this is this is classically what happens. I
- 34:09Speaker 3: don't know if this happens at the Auburn, Alabama or
- 34:13Speaker 3: Michigan Ohio State. But what winds up happening is Virginia
- 34:17Speaker 3: Tech fans will buy up all the season tickets of
- 34:20Speaker 3: UVA fans that have grown disillusioned with this season. Yeah,
- 34:24Speaker 3: and the fans of the crowd will be like three
- 34:27Speaker 3: quarters Virginia Tech fans. And and there's always like that.
- 34:31Speaker 26: Sure this year though, because I hope not, they'll be
- 34:34Speaker 26: really bad, but there will be oh no, no, the
- 34:37Speaker 26: contingent will still be there looking for the upset. Of course,
- 34:42Speaker 26: because this makes text year with Phil Montgomery his last game,
- 34:47Speaker 26: so they're a bowl game. I am guessing that James
- 34:49Speaker 26: Franklin is going to be sitting in him somewhere.
- 34:53Speaker 10: I'm going to guess he's there.
- 34:54Speaker 3: Can he be on the sideline as a guest? Can
- 34:56Speaker 3: you can you give out a guest pass to the
- 34:58Speaker 3: next coach?
- 34:59Speaker 26: I mean know, and what he wouldn't be on the sideline.
- 35:03Speaker 26: I don't think he'd do that. But I think he's
- 35:05Speaker 26: gonna be in the same somewhere.
- 35:07Speaker 3: Let me ask you this because I was reading this
- 35:09Speaker 3: CBS Sports Robbie kalland Rights writes this, He's going to
- 35:15Speaker 3: take Virginia in the game because it's bad for the
- 35:18Speaker 3: A c C and he always picks the thing that
- 35:21Speaker 3: the ACC would rather not happen in these kind of games.
- 35:25Speaker 3: Why is Virginia winning bad for the Atlantic Coast Conference?
- 35:29Speaker 22: Uh?
- 35:30Speaker 10: You know who said that, Rob, Yeah, that's for the
- 35:34Speaker 10: athletic too. I think is he CBS right?
- 35:38Speaker 3: The banner on the story is CBS Sports. But oh okay, but.
- 35:42Speaker 10: Why why is it? I don't know. Let s m
- 35:45Speaker 10: U and Virginia play. I don't know why that's bad.
- 35:48Speaker 10: Why is it bad?
- 35:49Speaker 17: Well?
- 35:50Speaker 3: But probably because there he's probably reading the tea leaves
- 35:53Speaker 3: about media markets and you know, LEGENDARYTORC.
- 35:57Speaker 26: Times don't they don't have enough to do? I mean
- 36:00Speaker 26: because I think for Tony Elliott. See I root for
- 36:03Speaker 26: the Tony Elliotts of the world. Who what what do
- 36:07Speaker 26: you think Tony Elliott has gone through.
- 36:08Speaker 10: Over the last three or four years?
- 36:09Speaker 3: Okay, with the death of the players?
- 36:11Speaker 26: Yeah, I mean building a program, you know, you know,
- 36:15Speaker 26: forget Yeah, that's can you imagine that story?
- 36:18Speaker 1: Though?
- 36:19Speaker 3: You know you you don't have to even think about
- 36:22Speaker 3: preparing a pregame show for what's the is the championship
- 36:25Speaker 3: game the Rose Bowl this year? I forget where it is? Uh,
- 36:28Speaker 3: but you know, if he If they're in the NCAA
- 36:31Speaker 3: Championship football game, you've you've written half your pregame show
- 36:35Speaker 3: just with the third anniversary of the shooting death of
- 36:39Speaker 3: the three players and surviving that and all of that.
- 36:42Speaker 10: Yeah, you could make a movie. It's like it would
- 36:44Speaker 10: be close to America on Ice for sure. So the storyline,
- 36:48Speaker 10: but the storylines go for the Hokies as well.
- 36:51Speaker 26: If Tech pulls off the upset, It's like, when is
- 36:54Speaker 26: Virginia ever gonna win in this series again?
- 36:57Speaker 10: Jan Tina the last twenty or whatever it is, I'd
- 37:00Speaker 10: be ninety nine and the last one hundred. I mean,
- 37:02Speaker 10: it's it's so lopsided that, you know.
- 37:04Speaker 26: But but the storylines Chandler Morris, if he has like
- 37:08Speaker 26: a huge four hundred yard night, you know Chandler Morris,
- 37:12Speaker 26: you know, they may put a statue on the lawn
- 37:15Speaker 26: for him that he'd be bigger than Sean Moore and
- 37:18Speaker 26: might grow, you know, as.
- 37:20Speaker 3: Far and everyone would be some guy in Sacramento's like
- 37:23Speaker 3: what the hell is? Might grow?
- 37:25Speaker 26: So if they went, you know, if they're in the
- 37:27Speaker 26: a SEC title game, Chandler Morrise could be acc Player
- 37:30Speaker 26: of the Year. Yeah, I mean there's so much going
- 37:34Speaker 26: on with this and you got my you know, Miami
- 37:36Speaker 26: is trying to get a playoff. I mean, Pitt, Miami
- 37:38Speaker 26: is going.
- 37:38Speaker 10: To be awesome this weekend, so I look for the storyline.
- 37:42Speaker 10: It's going to be fun.
- 37:43Speaker 26: And of course Monday we get to eat turkey sandwiches

- 43:55Speaker 3: Radio it's on you take on the intelligence community. They
- 44:14Speaker 3: have six ways from Sunday at getting back at.
- 44:16Speaker 1: On a need to know basis, because you need to
- 44:19Speaker 1: know the first thing today.
- 44:24Speaker 10: I knew it.
- 44:25Speaker 3: I knew it as soon as.
- 44:26Speaker 28: My cake hole opened, and I said it, this was
- 44:33Speaker 28: going to become that thing, that that trivia that the
- 44:38Speaker 28: derails the program.
- 44:39Speaker 3: So I said about half an hour ago, just is
- 44:42Speaker 3: an aside, And as soon as the words crested my lips,
- 44:48Speaker 3: I said, Oh, this one's going to just take over
- 44:51Speaker 3: the last hour, isn't it. All I said was I
- 44:55Speaker 3: prefer Daniel Craig to Sean Connery as James Bond. And
- 45:01Speaker 3: I'm not And I probably shouldn't say this because it
- 45:05Speaker 3: will immediately become the reason for the season. You will
- 45:10Speaker 3: seize on this in this controversy of about nothing, uh
- 45:15Speaker 3: and and go after me because I'm not a huge
- 45:19Speaker 3: James Bond fan. I'm just not. I appreciate the the
- 45:25Speaker 3: you know, the personal nature the Broccoli family and how
- 45:30Speaker 3: they've you know, shepherded beyond where the books and the
- 45:35Speaker 3: stories ended and have been able to come up with continuation.
- 45:40Speaker 3: I appreciate bringing Blowfeld and Specter back, especially as Americans
- 45:46Speaker 3: started to learn more and more about the World Economic
- 45:49Speaker 3: Forum I do. Anytime you get to see Christoph Waltz
- 45:53Speaker 3: in a movie is worth it. But you know, I
- 45:59Speaker 3: just said, I of all the James Bond movies, and
- 46:03Speaker 3: I remember going to see you Never Say Never Again,
- 46:07Speaker 3: Sean Connery's back and Sean Connery and Never Say Never
- 46:10Speaker 3: Again was better than Sean Connery in Goldfinger or Doctor No.
- 46:15Speaker 3: He just he was. He was a better actor. The guy.
- 46:18Speaker 3: He was a model right up until just like Lazenbie was,
- 46:22Speaker 3: here was a male model who somebody said, hey, do
- 46:25Speaker 3: you want to do this role? And he was still
- 46:28Speaker 3: learning how to be an actor at that point. I'm
- 46:30Speaker 3: not saying Daniel Craig is a better actor than Sean
- 46:34Speaker 3: Connery is right now, which three of the text messages
- 46:39Speaker 3: Mike and Pete and Sarah all seemed like, you know,
- 46:43Speaker 3: have you seen Daniel Craig and knives Out? And you know,
- 46:48Speaker 3: have you seen Sean Connery in any number of things?
- 46:55Speaker 3: But you know, it's it's just one of those things.
- 46:57Speaker 3: I knew it was going to take over. I knew
- 47:00Speaker 3: it was going to take over the program as soon
- 47:02Speaker 3: as I said it. But you know, don't take umbrage.
- 47:05Speaker 3: I just prefer Daniel Craig as James Bond. But speaking
- 47:10Speaker 3: of the intelligence community, I want to get back into
- 47:12Speaker 3: the story of this this CIA agent that did these
- 47:17Speaker 3: horrific shootings in Washington, d C. But joining us now
- 47:20Speaker 3: host of the Good for America podcast. He is a
- 47:25Speaker 3: former congressman and chair of the House Freedom Concuss. Bob
- 47:29Speaker 3: good Happy Black Friday, Bob. I hope you had a
- 47:32Speaker 3: wonderful Thanksgiving with family. How are you doing, sir, Good morning, Joe.
- 47:36Speaker 17: Great to be with you and had a wonderful Thanksgiving
- 47:39Speaker 17: and have much to be grateful and thankful for and
- 47:42Speaker 17: so a wonderful time with our family. I hope that
- 47:44Speaker 17: you had a great time as well.
- 47:45Speaker 3: Oh I did. It was nine hour marathon of folks,
- 47:49Speaker 3: and I realized that when you're not the traveler, you
- 47:52Speaker 3: don't have as much free time. And as a whole
- 47:54Speaker 3: bunch of stuff that I usually do around Thanksgiving, send
- 47:57Speaker 3: out greeting cards and stuff to friends that I haven't
- 48:00Speaker 3: I didn't have a chance to do because it was
- 48:02Speaker 3: preparing the house for everyone to descend on us. So
- 48:06Speaker 3: we were on the air yesterday morning, which I was
- 48:09Speaker 3: grateful that I had made the decision to do it.
- 48:11Speaker 3: In the wake of this tragic shooting now having claimed
- 48:15Speaker 3: the life of a West Virginia National guardsman, the young lady,
- 48:20Speaker 3: the twenty year old and her partner I guess assaulted
- 48:23Speaker 3: by this Afghan national. There both sides seem like they're
- 48:29Speaker 3: racing to try to make hay out of this, and
- 48:34Speaker 3: the left wing media is out there saying, see, this
- 48:37Speaker 3: is what you get when you put soldiers in American cities.
- 48:41Speaker 3: Where do you And is this something that Good for
- 48:43Speaker 3: America podcast is going to get into. Having served in Congress,
- 48:49Speaker 3: is it something that we should be looking to make
- 48:53Speaker 3: political waves out of.
- 48:57Speaker 17: Well, I don't know if we're trying to make way
- 49:00Speaker 17: out of it, but we do need to speak the
- 49:02Speaker 17: truths and we do need to identify the source of
- 49:05Speaker 17: the problem, at least in this instance. Anyway, I can
- 49:08Speaker 17: remember four years ago when we voted on whether or
- 49:12Speaker 17: not to allow tens of thousands of unvetted Afghans into
- 49:16Speaker 17: the country special vises for them. Only sixteen of us,
- 49:20Speaker 17: myself and fifteen colleagues in the House voted against allowing
- 49:24Speaker 17: tens of thousands of more Afghanis to come into the
- 49:27Speaker 17: country because I knew, of course that an administration that
- 49:31Speaker 17: was letting in, you know, hundreds of thousands a month
- 49:35Speaker 17: of unvetted individuals coming across our streaming across our border.
- 49:39Speaker 17: They weren't going to care about who was coming from
- 49:41Speaker 17: Afghanistan in the rush. You know, the word in Afghanistan
- 49:44Speaker 17: was you want to get to the US. Get to
- 49:45Speaker 17: the airport. They're flying out all of these people. And
- 49:49Speaker 17: so sixteen of us voted against. It took some criticism
- 49:52Speaker 17: at the time, you remember, I took some f you,
- 49:55Speaker 17: of course, but I took some heat for it, even
- 49:57Speaker 17: from some friends who said, gosh, how can we not
- 49:59Speaker 17: let in these people now after Afghanistan has fallen. But
- 50:03Speaker 17: unfortunately the chickens of Joe Biden increasingly come home to
- 50:06Speaker 17: roost in terms of who is he led in the country,
- 50:09Speaker 17: who the Democrats led into the country. And we need
- 50:11Speaker 17: to speak why it is important for the president to
- 50:14Speaker 17: close the border as he has, why it's important to
- 50:16Speaker 17: restrict immigration from an American first safety and security standpoint,
- 50:21Speaker 17: as well as our economic prosperity and opportunity and those
- 50:23Speaker 17: sorts of things as well. Well.
- 50:25Speaker 3: Also, I think in what we were trying to do
- 50:27Speaker 3: in Afghanistan, you know that open policy. Well, they worked
- 50:32Speaker 3: for us, but you know, did we always work with
- 50:34Speaker 3: savory people. I mean, that's the thing. I mean, it's
- 50:38Speaker 3: based on that. You know, enemy of my enemy is
- 50:41Speaker 3: my friend. But not everyone who was working with us
- 50:45Speaker 3: against the Taliban loved America. They just hated the Taliban more.
- 50:50Speaker 17: And I, as you might recall, I went to Fort
- 50:53Speaker 17: Pickett shortly after they began to bring the Afghanis over
- 50:56Speaker 17: and house some of them in my former congressional district.
- 50:59Speaker 17: And I went there with staff member, former marine who's
- 51:02Speaker 17: on my team, and we met and visited with thousands
- 51:05Speaker 17: of Afghanians who were there in terms of inter passing
- 51:09Speaker 17: through the crowd and so forth. The crowds that were there,
- 51:11Speaker 17: and these were supposed to be the interpreters and the translators,
- 51:14Speaker 17: those who worked for us, and almost none of them
- 51:16Speaker 17: spoke English. They were all, you know, military age males,
- 51:21Speaker 17: and almost none of them spoke English. And so we
- 51:23Speaker 17: were very suspicious again of who we had brought into
- 51:26Speaker 17: our country by the represented by the sample of about
- 51:30Speaker 17: five or six thousand that were at Fort Pickett when
- 51:32Speaker 17: I went to visit it.
- 51:33Speaker 3: Well do you think and this strikes me as interesting.
- 51:36Speaker 3: We know more about this guy, this twenty nine year
- 51:39Speaker 3: old that I remained nameless, not going to give him
- 51:41Speaker 3: any celebrity on my radio show. We know more about
- 51:45Speaker 3: him in forty eight hours than we know about the
- 51:47Speaker 3: Crooks kid in Butler, Pennsylvania, you know, months and months
- 51:52Speaker 3: and months later. Why is that?
- 51:55Speaker 17: That's a great question. There was lots of reasons to
- 51:59Speaker 17: question the actions immediately in the aftermath of the Crooks
- 52:02Speaker 17: assassination attemptle on President Trump, and of course the death
- 52:05Speaker 17: that he brought to the competorys turing that was killed.
- 52:12Speaker 17: But you know what they did afterwards was cleaning up
- 52:15Speaker 17: the site.
- 52:16Speaker 16: You know.
- 52:17Speaker 17: Clay Higgins, my friend from Louisiana, did his own investigation,
- 52:21Speaker 17: his own release, because he knew the House Task Force
- 52:23Speaker 17: wasn't going to do adequate job to it, and he
- 52:25Speaker 17: told us more than we learned from the official committee
- 52:29Speaker 17: that was assigned to to investigate this. But it's great,
- 52:34Speaker 17: good reason to question that. I don't have an answer
- 52:36Speaker 17: for you that effect, except for I think the Trump administration,
- 52:39Speaker 17: you know, who obviously was not the administration back when
- 52:41Speaker 17: it took place with the Crooks assassination attempt, but the
- 52:43Speaker 17: Trump administration, you know, wants to get out what place
- 52:48Speaker 17: with the National Guard assassination.
- 52:51Speaker 8: My name is Bobby. I'm a veteran and lost my
