  Speaker 7: get into all of that. We have some amazing folks.
• 1:44
  Speaker 7: The soon to be first Lady of Florida is going
• 1:47
  Speaker 7: to be with us. Where's my did we unpack the
• 1:49
  Speaker 7: bell yet? But the soon to be first Lady of
• 1:54
  Speaker 7: Florida is going to sit down with us. She's working
• 1:57
  Speaker 7: very hard in the world of school choice. You think
• 2:00
  Speaker 7: if Byron Donalds wins the Governor's mansion in Florida, school
• 2:05
  Speaker 7: choice is going to continue to be strong there.
• 2:07
  Speaker 8: I think so.
• 2:09
  Speaker 7: We're also going to visit with a young lady. I
• 2:11
  Speaker 7: ran into a huge group of Iranian nationals who are
• 2:16
  Speaker 7: in the United States and have made a pilgrimage here
• 2:20
  Speaker 7: to Seapack to see President Trump on Sunday when he speaks,
• 2:25
  Speaker 7: and to let him know their appreciation young lady. I
• 2:28
  Speaker 7: spoke to her yesterday a little bit, and her parents
• 2:31
  Speaker 7: are still there. All of her family is still there.
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: She came here to go to university at the University
• 2:37
  Speaker 7: of North Texas Engineering. Brilliant young lady, and I knew
• 2:45
  Speaker 7: about the chanting, and I said, oh, Joe, you better
• 2:47
  Speaker 7: go ask somebody to join you on the program.
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: You want to find out what's going on. And she
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: comes and down next to me.
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: Just we were on a bench kind of doing some
• 2:58
  Speaker 7: office work and some busy work, and there she was
• 3:01
  Speaker 7: just sat right down and I said, oh, why, how
• 3:03
  Speaker 7: you doing. So we chatted a little bit and you'll
• 3:06
  Speaker 7: hear from her so much getting into this morning, but
• 3:09
  Speaker 7: leave us to our first things. Secretary of State Marco
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: Rubio said negotiations to end the conflict with Iran our
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: quote ongoing and fluid, and that some progress has been made.
• 3:24
  Speaker 7: Steve Witkoff, a US Special Envoy to the region, said
• 3:28
  Speaker 7: earlier during a cabinet meeting that the fifteen point piece
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: proposal with the Iran this week was shared through Pakistani
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: officials and we'll get more about that in a moment.
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: And they've described the talks with whoever they're speaking to
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: as strong and productive. Remember, the administration of the theocracy
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: says we're not looking at that fifteen point plan. We're
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: not talking to the United States. So somebody is talking
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: to somebody in Iran. Rubio spoke to reporters as he
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: headed off to Europe to meet with the Gang of Seven,
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: I mean Group of seven, Gang of seven or senators
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: like Mark Warner. As he was heading to the G
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: seven meeting, he did urge the allies he's about to
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: sit down with to treat the Iran war and the
• 4:16
  Speaker 7: shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz as their concern as well,
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: criticizing European leaders who have labeled the conflict.
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: Quote not Europe's war.
• 4:26
  Speaker 7: He said to the press as he left, it's their
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: interests to help, arguing the other countries get far more
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: of their fuel from there than we do. We now
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: know that Pakistans ten oil tankers were the gift that
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: the Iranians gave President Trump. They allowed ten oil tankers
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: to pass the Strait of Hormuz just at the same
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: time the Pakistani officials delivered the fifteen point peace settlement agreement.
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: A San Francisco federal judge Thursday blocked the Trump administration
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: from in a sweeping ban on artificial intelligence from anthropic
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: intervening in the clash over who controls the military's use
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: of emerging AI technology. The US can continue to detain
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: immigrants without bond, and Appeals court ruled Wednesday, handing down
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: a victory to the administration's crackdown. The opinion from the
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals in Saint Louis overturned a
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: lower court ruling, and the European Parliament voted to Thursday
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: to approve a trade deal between Washington and the EU,
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: with amendments added to protect European interests should the United
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: States fail to hold up its end of the bargain.
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: The deal was negotiated in Turnbury, Scotland by President Trump
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: and commissioned President Ursula vonder Layan. It sets a fifteen
• 5:49
  Speaker 7: percent tariff on most goods in an effort to stave
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: off far higher import duties from both sides.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: And those are our first things this morning.
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: Not entirely unlike mel Brooks in History of the World
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: Part one, we're going to get to play Caesar's Palace

  Speaker 10: that's huge, but it's also true.
• 7:16
  Speaker 11: People are just happier with it.
• 7:18
  Speaker 10: They love being part of something that reflects and promotes
• 7:21
  Speaker 10: their values and what they believe in.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Meda Share works too.
• 7:24
  Speaker 10: It's been around for thirty years now and members have
• 7:27
  Speaker 10: shared more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills.

• 7:59
  Speaker 12: Forty Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the
• 8:07
  Speaker 12: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 12: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 12: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 12: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 12: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  Speaker 12: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  Speaker 12: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 12: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 12: in many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51
  Speaker 12: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

  Speaker 7: dominating a lot of the conversation here.

  Speaker 6: And Sahar Bapor is.

• 14:10
  Speaker 21: Down?

  Speaker 6: Yes, did you move here? I mean you're only what
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: ten fifteen years old right now?
• 14:16
  Speaker 9: Oh?
• 14:16
  Speaker 21: No, but thank you.
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: You're always supposed to complad Americans, we compliment women.
• 14:23
  Speaker 21: But fun fact, today marks a decade of living in
• 14:28
  Speaker 21: the US.
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: Happy birthday.
• 14:30
  Speaker 21: I know, thank you, thank you. Starting year eleven, it's
• 14:34
  Speaker 21: mixed feeling.
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so what if you don't mind me asking? If
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: you do, just say, I don't want to answer that.
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: What was it that made you want to emigrate to
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: the United States eleven?
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: Ten years ago?
• 14:49
  Speaker 21: As a woman, you don't have any basic right even
• 14:54
  Speaker 21: in Iran. Someone choose for you to how to how
• 14:59
  Speaker 21: to act, what to say, what not to say? Like
• 15:04
  Speaker 21: you can't solu singing Iran. You cannot bike as a
• 15:08
  Speaker 21: woman in the streets. You cannot you as a six
• 15:13
  Speaker 21: year old you have to have a scarf, and that
• 15:16
  Speaker 21: is mandatory. And as as you grow up, all of
• 15:20
  Speaker 21: these limitations become.
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: More and more.
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: And but I imagine knowing that there was there were
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: places in the world where that wasn't going to be
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: how you were ordered to live.
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: Must have been hard to come by, you know, growing
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: up in Iran.
• 15:37
  Speaker 21: Yes, it's always like you see other people are you know,
• 15:44
  Speaker 21: living in another way, and you're living in a way
• 15:48
  Speaker 21: that like you don't even like it, it's like it.
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: So you you were able to see images of of
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: how women were treated in other.
• 15:56
  Speaker 21: Parts of the world, not all the time, like it
• 15:58
  Speaker 21: depends on the age and the like I was able
• 16:01
  Speaker 21: to see because Iran's TV is censored, you're not able
• 16:07
  Speaker 21: to get the real information from the world. But we
• 16:12
  Speaker 21: had satellite at home, so we were able to see
• 16:15
  Speaker 21: how the rest of the world is, you know, living
• 16:18
  Speaker 21: And we of course had a history of living like
• 16:22
  Speaker 21: that before the revolution, so it wasn't something that we
• 16:26
  Speaker 21: didn't have any idea about it because our parents lived
• 16:29
  Speaker 21: in that.
• 16:29
  Speaker 22: Time, so you had family that said, hey, you know
• 16:32
  Speaker 22: before like that, yes, before, like my mom used to
• 16:36
  Speaker 22: like go to school and the school teachers were all
• 16:40
  Speaker 22: in like dresses and mini dresses and just.
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: Like here like the US, I was, like I hazard
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: to say, I was thirteen fourteen when the revolution took
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: place and the Shah was deposed, but the stories were
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: that Iran was one of the most advanced countries in
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: the Middle East at that time, universities and economics and
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: things like that. And somebody suggested to me that the
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: theocracy has sort of been living off that prosperity for
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: forty years. Does that make any sense to you? That's okay,
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: it was, you know, I think weird thoughts sometimes.
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: Can you repeat the Well, it's it's.
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: Just that Iran when your parents were growing up was
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: a very prosperous country from what I was told, you know,
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: when the revolution happened, but that had started to fall
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: apart because it had stopped being very prosperous under the theocracy,
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: under the Ayatola.
• 17:45
  Speaker 21: Yeah, that is something trivial, like all the world knows
• 17:48
  Speaker 21: it now, you know, and speaking about that, like what
• 17:54
  Speaker 21: we want now matters this generation, like this whole like
• 17:59
  Speaker 21: the country people, they not only want their dignity.
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: Back, but also more like I want to rejoin the world,
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: the world. You know, do you still have family in Iran?
• 18:13
  Speaker 15: All?
• 18:13
  Speaker 21: My family is there. Everyone is there, my parents like everyone.
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: So your parents are even still there.
• 18:20
  Speaker 21: Everyone is there. I'm one of the first generations here,
• 18:23
  Speaker 21: so do you get.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: To communicate with them?
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: I mean, you know, I'm sorry if it's a silly question,
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: but I don't know how open communications are with family members.
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: I understand that social.
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: Media has been cut off and people are trying to
• 18:38
  Speaker 7: get starlink and other ways to get social media messages out,
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: But have you talked to any of your family since
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: the bombardment started.
• 18:47
  Speaker 21: I really appreciate this question because we need some awareness
• 18:50
  Speaker 21: regarding this matter, because Internet black house in this new
• 18:57
  Speaker 21: era is just like psychological torture that is happening right
• 19:02
  Speaker 21: now in our country. And it's not only torture for
• 19:06
  Speaker 21: inside people, it's also us outside the country because there's
• 19:10
  Speaker 21: no way to communicate with our families and there's no
• 19:13
  Speaker 21: way to know what is going on there.
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: Like even like we.
• 19:17
  Speaker 21: See the picture of bombings, we only zoom in to
• 19:19
  Speaker 21: see how close it is to our on the pictures.
• 19:22
  Speaker 21: That that is the only information we can get, you know,
• 19:25
  Speaker 21: is beyond like imagination. How hard it is for both
• 19:31
  Speaker 21: parts inside and outside people. And what I can say
• 19:38
  Speaker 21: regarding how it is the blackout, it's it was ae
• 19:41
  Speaker 21: hundred person blackout, only a few of them, like the
• 19:45
  Speaker 21: government supporter and then they somehow get access. But the
• 19:49
  Speaker 21: way the system is built up, there's like someone on
• 19:52
  Speaker 21: the top of the hierarchy if they order, and that's
• 19:56
  Speaker 21: someone is not only a supreme leader, it's an ideaology
• 20:00
  Speaker 21: they follow, you know, it's like the ideology they follow.
• 20:03
  Speaker 21: If one of these people on the top of hierarchy
• 20:07
  Speaker 21: order to cut off the internet to kind of make
• 20:11
  Speaker 21: people voiceless, they'll do it immediately. The engineers, of course
• 20:15
  Speaker 21: they'll do it because they're all like they're supporter. And
• 20:18
  Speaker 21: I can say sometimes some of the news they show
• 20:21
  Speaker 21: people are chanting inside Iran in support of the regime.
• 20:26
  Speaker 21: But that is less than ten percent of a ninety
• 20:30
  Speaker 21: five million population. Because if we consider the government the
• 20:36
  Speaker 21: body of the government, they're extensive families, their relatives and
• 20:39
  Speaker 21: those people who are like with them. It could go
• 20:42
  Speaker 21: up to less than ten persons, which is normal. And
• 20:45
  Speaker 21: sometimes you see some connections. Some of the connections that
• 20:51
  Speaker 21: are like coming out things coming out there are more
• 20:54
  Speaker 21: like propaganda because the regime lets some news get out purposely. Otherwise,
• 21:00
  Speaker 21: if you ask me, when was the last time you
• 21:03
  Speaker 21: talked to your parents, I can remember I only talked
• 21:06
  Speaker 21: to them during since wars started. Only once.
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: Are they okay?
• 21:10
  Speaker 20: I have no idea.
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: I mean, when you talk to them, were they okay?
• 21:13
  Speaker 21: At the same time, my parents told me something that
• 21:19
  Speaker 21: caused me to come here to this event. They told
• 21:22
  Speaker 21: me we are happy to die during a war rather
• 21:29
  Speaker 21: than being tortured under this regime and seeing our next
• 21:36
  Speaker 21: generation to have the same life, to live the same
• 21:40
  Speaker 21: way we lived. So, if you want to be our voice,
• 21:44
  Speaker 21: let the world know we are ready to die for
• 21:47
  Speaker 21: freedom if it is at the cost of you know,
• 21:52
  Speaker 21: just dying, but getting to the point that we can
• 21:56
  Speaker 21: get free, our country can get free, and the next
• 21:58
  Speaker 21: generation can lift freely.

  Speaker 12: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our

  Speaker 12: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any

  Speaker 12: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 24:31
  Speaker 12: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,

  Speaker 12: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 24:42
  Speaker 12: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and

  Speaker 7: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: from Seapack, brought to you by Heritage dot org, the
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: Heritage Foundation and all of there're different things they're involved in,
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: even stuff they started that you know, as you know,
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: I content contributor, I guess is what the cool kids
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: call it now for the Daily Signal. I've got pieces
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: up there about the redistricting in Virginia as well as
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: gun grabs going on legislatively. Can check that out at
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: Daily Signal dot com. But talking about their historic sites
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: listings and listener texted me was the note Dan sent
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: me a note yesterday, I say, he went there and
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: he thought it was interesting that some of the sites
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: got low grades but still got reported. He said, why
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: does the Heritage Foundation report on these sites if they're
• 29:45
  Speaker 7: not good?
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: Well, they're notable, like they have grading. It's ABC C
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: is the lowest.
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: And then what you're supposed to do at that point
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: is then take that information and put it in your
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: pipe and smoke it as it were, as the cool
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: kids say.
• 30:06
  Speaker 23: So.
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: For example, Montpelier, I loved my tour of Montpelier, but
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: I wasn't necessarily listening to the tour guide to be fair,
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: the last time I was at Montpelier wasn't yesterday. So
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: apparently now if you go to Montpelier where James Madison lived.
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: Fun fact, by the way, duplex all right, not duplex
• 30:31
  Speaker 7: makes it sound different. It's a mother daughter is what
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: it is. His parents lived on the left side of
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: the house and James and Dolley lived on the right side.
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: Awkward you visiting that Jefferson fellow again.
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: You know, you always come back in a weird mood
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: when you go and visit Jefferson.
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: What time are you going to be home? Jimmy, Jimmy,
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: where you go? Imagine the conversation, did Dolly leave any
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: ice cream?
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: I don't know how the Madisons all of a sudden
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: became the Costanzas.
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: But that's just the voice that came to my head.
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: Nature of phors a vacuum.
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: But one of the problems is in the Charlottesville area
• 31:12
  Speaker 7: you had this spasm from twenty fifteen on of wokeness
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: that you know, these groups, these organizations would be populated,
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: their boards would be populated by what Ronald Reagan referred.
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: To as the do gooders, and they would they would capitulate.
• 31:31
  Speaker 7: To the public outcry and they say, oh, well, I can't,
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: I can't fly in the face of popular opinion, and
• 31:38
  Speaker 7: so they would give in to the wokeness. So if
• 31:41
  Speaker 7: you take the Madison tour, it's a lot of it
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: is about it being a plantation where slaves were held
• 31:48
  Speaker 7: and all of that, and that's kind of why the
• 31:52
  Speaker 7: Heritage gave it a C instead of an A. It's
• 31:54
  Speaker 7: an amazing house and you can and the tour culminates
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: in the room where James Madison uh sat and went
• 32:02
  Speaker 7: through all the different research that he did as he
• 32:08
  Speaker 7: penned the what would become the US Constitution. So you
• 32:12
  Speaker 7: can sit there and kind of look out. It looks
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: right out under the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia. It's
• 32:18
  Speaker 7: a stunning room and I think it's an important place
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: to go. However, as the Heritage Foundation research said, you're
• 32:28
  Speaker 7: going to get a little woke if you're paying attention
• 32:31
  Speaker 7: to the tour guides.
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: If you just go and you wanh wanh wanh wanh
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: wanh wanh wanh wanh you know.
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: Then you'll be okay. I don't think you're gonna uh.
• 32:41
  Speaker 7: You have to do the tour yourself. Monticello is a
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: little bit better what they've done where Thomas Jefferson lived,
• 32:51
  Speaker 7: which is just down the road a piece from Montpellier,
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: and they do talk a lot about Sally hemming in
• 33:00
  Speaker 7: the slave population, and you can actually go to where
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: the slave houses were there, but they do and you
• 33:07
  Speaker 7: have to get the right tour guide. I guess they
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: do include the fact that a lot of that, especially
• 33:13
  Speaker 7: the Hemings family of the slave population, had become fairly
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: well off in their lives because they were allowed to
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: learn skills. One was a master carpenter in the Charlottesville area.
• 33:28
  Speaker 7: Another was a five star chef that Jefferson paid to
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: send off to Escoffier in France. So though they still
• 33:38
  Speaker 7: hit you with the woke, it's not as ham handed
• 33:42
  Speaker 7: as it can be. But you know, and then there
• 33:44
  Speaker 7: are places time going on in life. We've got plenty
• 33:48
  Speaker 7: to get to today European opinions, it's not Europe's war.
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: Four three four eight eight two four two one seven
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: is the phone number as we tell you the news,
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: and then you know, we ask you to tell us
• 34:02
  Speaker 7: you know what your reaction to the news is, and
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: we'll get you there and hook you up and.
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: Add you to the mix. But this idea and Marco
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: Rubio off to the G seven under this cloud of
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: oh well, it's not Europe's war, and Rubio I think
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: made the right point. He said, do you get more
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: oil through the straight of horror moves than the United
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: States does?
• 34:29
  Speaker 7: We don't need, we don't need to be worried about
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: the straight of horror moves for us, we're worried about
• 34:34
  Speaker 7: it for you, and I find it ironic, and I
• 34:40
  Speaker 7: want to know if you share this ironic view of
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: this attitude towards what's going on in Iran, especially after
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: listening to Sahar. You're hearing that we're not hearing. She
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: told me after the fact that they need they need
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: Elon Musk of us Elon Muks, they need internet service,
• 35:02
  Speaker 7: they need Starlink because the regime has shut it off
• 35:06
  Speaker 7: except for Tehran Terry, who sends his videos to CNN
• 35:10
  Speaker 7: in the news desk so that they can do pr
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: for him.
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: But the.
• 35:20
  Speaker 7: Same group that insists, absolutely insists. And you tell me
• 35:24
  Speaker 7: if this is unfair or not. I don't have doubts,
• 35:28
  Speaker 7: but in my preparation I do tend to try to
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: see both sides of things in this European theater where
• 35:39
  Speaker 7: we have been told time and time and time again
• 35:45
  Speaker 7: that we all have to intercede on the side of.
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: Ukraine, and that anything anything.
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: At all remotely sounding like concern over corruption in Ukraine
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: hold it was that Hunter Biden is on the phone
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: for me. Anything that brings up the fact that prior
• 36:07
  Speaker 7: to this invasion from Russia. Ukraine was not this Bethlehem
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: esque manger full of liberty, the cronyism, the corruption was
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: just rampant. It was worse than Russia because in Russia
• 36:28
  Speaker 7: Vled the invader. I mean he controls it with an
• 36:31
  Speaker 7: iron fist. The corruption is all the corruption that Vlad allows.
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: But the.
• 36:39
  Speaker 7: Folks in Europe insist, insist, absolutely insist that they and
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: the United States have to intercede on behalf of Ukraine
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: against Russia. But as soon as we try to do
• 36:55
  Speaker 7: something against the original the mac Dad, the state sponsors
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: of terror Iran, to try to liberate the people like
• 37:06
  Speaker 7: Sahar's parents, who want to go back to you the
• 37:12
  Speaker 7: life that was there before the Ayatola rolled into town,
• 37:17
  Speaker 7: rolled back into town.
• 37:19
  Speaker 6: And took over.
• 37:21
  Speaker 7: He heard the say nobody there voted for the theocracy.
• 37:24
  Speaker 7: It was just there one day and they said, listen,
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: we have the guns, you don't. It's a big point
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: to that. One of the reasons Russia hasn't had that
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: two week vacation in Ukraine that they promised everyone is
• 37:39
  Speaker 7: because Ukrainians had guns, and more Ukrainians got gun citizens
• 37:44
  Speaker 7: civilians not so much in Iran. So the Ayatola had
• 37:49
  Speaker 7: no real resistance when he got there, but to say
• 37:52
  Speaker 7: it's not Europe's war, while insisting that Ukraine is America's war.
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: Come on.
• 38:02

  Speaker 25: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 25: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
• 41:24
  Speaker 25: diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 25: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 25: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,

  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sober.

  Speaker 1: We didn't make talk radio, we made it better. First
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:18
  Speaker 6: Damn Dog.
• 44:19
  Speaker 23: We're all afraid to speak the truth, and the more
• 44:21
  Speaker 23: afraid we get, the more we hate the ones who do.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: You're ashamed to be American?
• 44:25
  Speaker 6: Okay, that's cool, because honestly we are all ashamed of
• 44:27
  Speaker 6: you Tube, y'all. They're so own up.
• 44:31
  Speaker 7: The phrase Texas values, I think invokes certain well, you know,
• 44:38
  Speaker 7: when you arrive in Texas you feel it almost immediately.
• 44:41
  Speaker 7: And Jonathan signs is on with us he's president of
• 44:45
  Speaker 7: the Texas Values Foundation. But it's more than just the
• 44:49
  Speaker 7: slight difference of oh, maybe Virginia is a little different
• 44:53
  Speaker 7: than Texas. First thing, my wife noticed, she'd never been
• 44:56
  Speaker 7: to Texas. The flagpoles all the same Texas flag, US flag,
• 45:02
  Speaker 7: same height, sovereign state of Texas.
• 45:05
  Speaker 6: How are you doing, Jonathan, I'm great.
• 45:06
  Speaker 28: Well, it's great to be with you too. Welcome to Texas.
• 45:09
  Speaker 28: Love to have our friends from Virginia. Shout out to
• 45:12
  Speaker 28: my colleague Victoria Cobb, who runs Family Foundation of Virginia.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: She's a very good friend. She's part of a family
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: policy council network.
• 45:20
  Speaker 28: So my organization, Texas Values, is the family policy council
• 45:24
  Speaker 28: for the state of Texas, originally through focus on the family.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: And you know, look is my understanding.
• 45:30
  Speaker 28: When Texas made their deal to become a part of
• 45:34
  Speaker 28: the United States, they cut a deal that we could
• 45:36
  Speaker 28: have the Texas flag at the same level as the
• 45:39
  Speaker 28: American flag.
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: But you're just as proud to be Americans as we
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: are to be Texans.
• 45:44
  Speaker 28: But you know, a lot of people have flag poles
• 45:47
  Speaker 28: in their front yards in Texas. There's a lot of pride,
• 45:51
  Speaker 28: and you know, look, I mean for good reason. Our
• 45:53
  Speaker 28: state has played a very important role all throughout the
• 45:57
  Speaker 28: founding and then the continuation and the strength of our country.
• 46:01
  Speaker 28: Texas is the eighth largest economy.
• 46:04
  Speaker 17: In the world.
• 46:04
  Speaker 28: Yeah, it's economy larger than Canada, than Russia and so.
• 46:08
  Speaker 28: But it's great to see so many friendly faces and
• 46:11
  Speaker 28: glad we've got you and many other people here.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: In Texas today.
• 46:14
  Speaker 7: Well, we have some great affiliates in San Antonio and
• 46:17
  Speaker 7: Dallas and Beaumont, so, you know, spreading the word. I've
• 46:21
  Speaker 7: loved my visits to Austin because I lived in Charlottesville
• 46:25
  Speaker 7: and State College. I'm kind of inoculated to the craziness
• 46:28
  Speaker 7: that a college town can be. But if you have
• 46:30
  Speaker 7: to live in a college town, find one in Texas.
• 46:34
  Speaker 7: So I'm sure that the listener's immediate reaction is, oh,
• 46:40
  Speaker 7: he's Texas values.
• 46:42
  Speaker 6: You know, that must be an easy gig. You know,
• 46:45
  Speaker 6: nobody in Texas.
• 46:46
  Speaker 7: But as I understand it, I mean, the Texas General
• 46:49
  Speaker 7: Assembly can be a little dodgy to deal with on
• 46:53
  Speaker 7: certain issues.
• 46:54
  Speaker 28: Talk about that, well, first of all, I think it's
• 46:56
  Speaker 28: always important for people to understand the premise at the
• 47:00
  Speaker 28: federal and state level. When you talk about a legislative body.
• 47:03
  Speaker 28: Many of them are set up to get very little done, right,
• 47:06
  Speaker 28: we do.
• 47:06
  Speaker 6: It's just good.
• 47:07
  Speaker 28: Yeah, we don't want the government having too much time
• 47:09
  Speaker 28: and power because sometimes they might not have some good ideas.
• 47:12
  Speaker 28: That being said, there are a lot of Republican legislators.
• 47:17
  Speaker 28: You've got a Republican majority in the House, and in
• 47:19
  Speaker 28: the Senate you got a Republican governor, Lieutenant governor, and
• 47:22
  Speaker 28: Speaker of the House. So that would suggest to you
• 47:26
  Speaker 28: that it shouldn't be that hard to pass legislation to
• 47:28
  Speaker 28: get things done right.
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: But the other side is not silent.
• 47:32
  Speaker 28: I mean, the Democrats do have a notable presence, and
• 47:36
  Speaker 28: you know, trying to get a built through committee, there's
• 47:38
  Speaker 28: a lot of ways to kill a bill, more ways
• 47:40
  Speaker 28: to kill a bill than it is to pass one.
• 47:43
  Speaker 28: And it's so but you know a lot of good
• 47:46
  Speaker 28: things do happen in the state of Texas, but you
• 47:48
  Speaker 28: got to work your bill, you got to go through
• 47:50
  Speaker 28: the process. So it's not as always as easy as
• 47:52
  Speaker 28: people think. But we often do have a fighting chance.
• 47:55
  Speaker 28: You know, Texas was one of the first states even
• 47:57
  Speaker 28: before Roll versus Wade was overturned to outlaw abortion.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: We led the effort to pass the.
• 48:01
  Speaker 28: Texas heartbeat Law, pro life bill, and a number of
• 48:05
  Speaker 28: wonderful things. The safe women's sports issue has been a
• 48:07
  Speaker 28: big issue we've worked on, and of course after COVID
• 48:10
  Speaker 28: we passed the constitutional amendment that said the government can
• 48:13
  Speaker 28: never close the church for any reason.
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: But there's still some good things we need to be doing.
• 48:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I find it interesting our flagship station back in
• 48:21
  Speaker 7: Virginia carries the NCAA tournament. I noticed how all this
• 48:25
  Speaker 7: transgender sports stuff goes away during the women's final four.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what a coincidence.
• 48:30
  Speaker 28: And you know, two three years ago, the NCAAA had
• 48:34
  Speaker 28: a big event. They had their conference in San Antonio
• 48:37
  Speaker 28: where there's a lot of supporting events. You got to
• 48:38
  Speaker 28: Alamodome where the final four is a lot, and we
• 48:41
  Speaker 28: were there with Riley Gaines and others saying it's time
• 48:44
  Speaker 28: to put up or shut up. You know, ladies have
• 48:46
  Speaker 28: really gotten tired of how the NCAAA has mistreated them,
• 48:50
  Speaker 28: and I think they, you know, they backed off a
• 48:51
  Speaker 28: little bit. I think their position could be a little
• 48:53
  Speaker 28: bit stronger, but I think the message has been sent.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: There's still work to do on that issue.
• 48:58
  Speaker 28: But yeah, you notice that when you see what happens
• 49:01
  Speaker 28: on the playing field, it makes a difference.
• 49:04
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean my basketball skills, I'd get posterized by
• 49:07
  Speaker 7: anyone in the women's sweet sixteen. So who you got,
• 49:12
  Speaker 7: Texas or TCU the women's I.
• 49:14
  Speaker 11: Mean my team.
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: I'm a long horn on Texas Longhorn.
• 49:17
  Speaker 28: I've got representation in the men's and the women's, so
• 49:20
  Speaker 28: I'm going with them all the way. I will say,
• 49:22
  Speaker 28: the women's team from the Nurse of Texas has been
• 49:25
  Speaker 28: one of the tops.
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: Of the nation all year.
• 49:27
  Speaker 28: The men's team is a little bit of a late comer.
• 49:30
  Speaker 28: So I'm picking our ladies to win it all. And
• 49:32
  Speaker 28: you know, maybe the long Horns will catch a couple
• 49:34
  Speaker 28: of breaks and some balls will bounce their way. Maybe
• 49:37
  Speaker 28: they'll make a run, maybe they make the final four.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: We'll see.
• 49:39
  Speaker 6: Well, it's a good deal.
• 49:41
  Speaker 7: So Jonathan signs is one with us from the Texas
• 49:44
  Speaker 7: Values Foundation. You talk about, you know, how things can
• 49:48
  Speaker 7: be a movable feast and as a yardstick.
• 49:52
  Speaker 6: For everyone else.
• 49:53
  Speaker 7: So you know, we got we've gone so far past
• 49:56
  Speaker 7: the old Bill Clinton safe but rare era when it
• 49:59
  Speaker 7: comes to defending life. You talk about the Texas Heartbeat Bill.
• 50:04
  Speaker 7: It seems so common sense. You now, Virginia, where our
• 50:07
  Speaker 7: flagship is. They're about to try to pass a constitutional
• 50:12
  Speaker 7: amendment that will defend a woman's right to a board
• 50:15
  Speaker 7: a baby up until the very moment it's about to
• 50:18
  Speaker 7: be born, and for no other reason than she feels
• 50:22
  Speaker 7: like it's going to impact her mental health. She doesn't
• 50:25
  Speaker 7: need a second opinion from a doctor, she doesn't need
• 50:28
  Speaker 7: the father's permission, nothing.
• 50:30
  Speaker 6: It's just like, you know what, I've changed my mind.
• 50:32
  Speaker 6: Stop it.
• 50:33
  Speaker 7: And the baby's there in the birth canal. You know,
• 50:37
  Speaker 7: it's like we're at opposite ends. We're in a different country.
• 50:41
  Speaker 7: Talk about what we should be my flagship station, my
• 50:44
  Speaker 7: Norfolk station. What should they be doing with the Family
• 50:48
  Speaker 7: Foundation Victoria? And give us some examples from your end.
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: Of work Growing Life Joy has done a great job,
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: you know, And it's tough.
• 50:56
  Speaker 28: I mean, the dynamics and the makeup of the electorate
• 51:00
  Speaker 28: and the people in Virginia not the.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: Same as Texas.
• 51:03
  Speaker 28: But anytime you put an issue on the ballot like this,
• 51:06
  Speaker 28: that's a constitutional moment, you run the risk of people
• 51:09
  Speaker 28: being confused having to read language they're not used to reading,
• 51:12
  Speaker 28: and so it's always a risk and that doesn't mean
• 51:15
  Speaker 28: that we don't trust the people, but not everybody shows up.
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: It's let everybody comes to.
• 51:19
  Speaker 28: The polls, so it's not an accurate representation. A lot
• 51:22
  Speaker 28: of times I trust the legislative processes a little bit
• 51:25
  Speaker 28: more because then you can hold those elected officials accountable.
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: But the big thing is continue on the education side, right.
