• 3:00
  Speaker 1: is it. So here we go. Pakistan has envoys now
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: in Tehran trying to work on that side of the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: tentative ceasefire. Pakistani mediators, led by Army Chief sayed A
• 3:18

  Speaker 1: Rumblings that they're trying to get an extension on it.

  Speaker 1: Pakistani delegation is also trying to set up a second
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: round of talks. Senate yesterday voted down a Democrat led
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: effort to restrict President Trump from launching further military operations
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: in around without congressional approval. The votes went along party lines,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: with one Republican and one Democrat switching sides as Rand
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Paul and John Fetterman voted with the other party as
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: it were. United States announced yesterday it's tightning sanctions on
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Iran's oil industry as Tehran tries to keep the Strait
• 4:09

• 4:14
  Speaker 1: oil transport infrastructure by putting sanctions on more than two
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: dozen people, companies, and ships. Moscow and Beijing are weighing
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: in now. Moscow will accept any approach in Iran's negotiations
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: that recognizes the republic has an inalienable right to enrich
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: uranium for civilian and peaceful purposes, according to Russian Foreign
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Minister Sergei Lavrov. Meanwhile, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: abbas Aarachi, the Iranian Foreign Minister, that there was unanimous
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: demand from the international community to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Ye said they are working to resume normal passage of
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the strait. This is a unanimous call from the international community.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Senior US defense officials have held talks about producing weapons
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: and other military supplies through the automobile industry of America.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: General Motors and Ford most conspicuous in the negotiations. According
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: to a report in The Wall Street Journal, Treasury Secretary
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Scott Bessen said yesterday that the pain at the pump
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: may be going away soon. He said Americans will see
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: gas prices of three dollars a gallon or below sooner
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: rather than later. And the Trump administration said that on
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: tax filing deadline day, more than fifty three million filers
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: claimed a deduction of some kind under the provisions from
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act. And those are our
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: first things this morning.
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: Every state is home to significant historic sites that tell
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: the American story, but not every site is telling that
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: story honestly fair. That's why the Heritage Foundation created the
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: Heritage Guide to Historic Sites. This interactive guide equips American
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: citizens with the tools they need to enjoy the sites
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: that depict some of the greatest moments in our nation's history,
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: analyzing them for historical accuracy, and provides resources for families
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: or educators planning a visit. It currently covers over forty
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: five sites in the thirteen original colonies, but sites from
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: all fifty states will be added in time for citizens
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: to celebrate America to fifty this summer. From Mount Vernon
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: to Independence Hall to Gettysburg and more. Americans deserve transparency,
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: and sites that steward our history faithfully deserve our gratitude.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: The Heritage Guide to Historic Sites invites every American to
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: rediscover the places and stories that define our nation. Whether
• 6:51

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

  Speaker 9: Hi everybody, I'm Jack Hannah. It's always a boy growing
• 10:01
  Speaker 9: up on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 9: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 9: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:08
  Speaker 9: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 9: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
• 10:15
  Speaker 9: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
• 10:17
  Speaker 9: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
• 10:21
  Speaker 9: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
• 10:23
  Speaker 9: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 10:25
  Speaker 9: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29
  Speaker 9: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 10:32
  Speaker 9: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
• 10:35
  Speaker 9: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
• 10:38
  Speaker 9: from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
• 10:41
  Speaker 9: a change.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: In their blood chemistry.
• 10:43
  Speaker 9: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
• 10:45
  Speaker 9: contribute to society and help those in need. So please
• 10:48
  Speaker 9: join me an American Humane and supporting our heroic working
• 10:51
  Speaker 9: dogs and all the amazing animals on this planet we
• 10:54
  Speaker 9: inhabit together. Go to American Humane dot org to learn more.

  Speaker 10: Bruh, that's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 11: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:05
  Speaker 12: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 13: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
• 11:10
  Speaker 13: art and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 10: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
• 11:15
  Speaker 10: brain is saying when it's time to go home. Somebody
• 11:18
  Speaker 10: call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 14: Love that guy, Me too, know your buzzed warning signs,
• 11:23
  Speaker 14: call for a ride when it's time to go home.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:26
  Speaker 15: Who did you know that more than half our household
• 11:31
  Speaker 15: energy costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't
• 11:35
  Speaker 15: just good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
• 11:39
  Speaker 15: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 15: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 15: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
• 11:49
  Speaker 15: That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
• 11:52
  Speaker 15: leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
• 11:56
  Speaker 15: improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
• 12:00
  Speaker 15: when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
• 12:02
  Speaker 15: energy Star logo and read the energy Guide label, and
• 12:06
  Speaker 15: there are day to day things you can do. Lower
• 12:09
  Speaker 15: your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,

• 12:32
  Speaker 16: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 16: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased

  Speaker 16: Treatment works recovery is possible.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: On a need to know basis, because you need to
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: know the first thing today.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Nineteen years ago. I mean, it's hard to remember, especially
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: if you're in your mid twenties, thinking back to where
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: you were in two thousand and seven, because twenty years ago,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: nineteen years ago, we had not grown so accustomed to
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: the idea of an entire university on lockdown, as some
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: person who had lost control of their last good marble
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: was running the hallways somewhere unknown locations on campus, shooting
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: and killing people. We had already had Columbine and the
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: idea that this was like the first And I've seen
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: headlines that talk about Virginia Tech's shooting in two thousand
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: and seven, the murders of students and teachers commemorated today.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, the commemorations began at midnight
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: with there's a memorial candle on the campus and such.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: But the world had still not grown accustomed to this
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: kind of thing. We hadn't developed a toolkit. Some would
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: call it callousness, some would call it uncaring. I call
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: it developing a toolkit to deal with things that have
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: become more and more commonplace.
• 15:03
  Speaker 18: You go to.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Shootings in Virginia Beach at the city offices, and you
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: name it Parkland, Florida, and you know Republicans and Democrats
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: alike blanching at the idea of how to deal with
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: this because gosh darn it, I campaigned on trying to
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: keep you safe, and now here I am the attorney
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: general of this former blue state saying okay, fine, we'll
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: do red flags before really having all the details. And
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: really that was it. I'm not saying Pam Bondy is
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: you know, a Democrat in disguise. I'm just saying that
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: this is a human reaction. People say, what about red flag? Yeah,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: let's do that, and people do that. I'd love to
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: ascribe deeper, darker people knee jerk reaction to stuff. Ti
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Scott's on the phone saying, gods starting to do something
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: quell the upset people in Parkland. Governor Tim Kaine, before
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: he learned to put his eyeglasses a rest upon his eyebrows,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: about to launch into his Senate run, trying to grapple
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: with what just unfolded. So you sit here and you
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: try to conceptualize a world that hadn't developed the social
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: toolkit to discuss this, and then you throw into it
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: jackasses like me that bring up gun free school zones
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: and oh man, I mean I still have burn marks
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: from Republican friends of mine who as the discussion unfolded,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: we kept bringing up, oh how can you? People are debt,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: and it became apparent to your humble host that one
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: of the problems with actually dealing with this is the
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: tragic loss of someone's life. The tragedy in the loss
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: of a life is if that if that life has
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: not led to some great import in the world, if
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: that life has gone unrequited, Yeah, that's tragic. None of
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: us know the time of our departure flight, and it's
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: not a matter of blame or that sort of thing.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Interestingly enough, nineteen years later, we still have gun free
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: school zones. We still, amazingly to me, in the nineteen
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: years in between, have not developed a better tool kit
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: for dealing with they what do they call it? Hardening
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: securing our schools. While our children are, by requirement of
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: the educational process, sitting with their backs to the doors,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: we still, for some way, shape or form, don't pay
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: any attention. While some teenager becomes a shooter on a
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: hot tin roof and takes a pot shout of the
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: former president of the United States now campaigning for that
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: office again, or at a community organizer who was holding
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: an event on a Utah college campus, nobody noticed, I
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: mean It's one thing to say, how did a kid
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: walk onto a gun free zone campus in Blacksburg, Virginia
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: looking for people that had caused him pain and looking
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: for a way to ease that pain. We have documents
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: from the psychiatrists, again toolkits for dealing with us, still
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: laughably incapable of how to walk that tightrope between mental
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: health discussions which the shooter in Virginia, tex case had
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: sought and had been assigned. Even these school administrators had
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: assigned him to talk to people about anger issues, about pain.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: And it's a big football school, so I'll use the analogy.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: They fumbled again, but we're not even near the goal line,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: so it's not even a dramatic fumble. Just keep fumbling
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: these balls and each time the same thing comes out
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: of it. The gun is the reason the person did this,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: when it wasn't. It was a tool and implement. Just
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: earlier this week, in the same state where Virginia Tech
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: University resides, the governor signed into law a bill that
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: would allow you to sue the person who sold some weed,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: show the firearm. All the families of all the victims
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: in Virginia Tech could sue the gun dealer who had
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: no idea what was going to happen. Even if the
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: gun is sold to someone who isn't going through pain
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: at that moment. If five years from now, something happens
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: to a person that purchased a firearm from you, and
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: now you've, as I said, you've lost control of your
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: last good marble. Well, they're still liable in Virginia and
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: a pattern that's going to grow. New York is already
• 21:23

• 28:27
  Speaker 1: To me, it's because they're politicians. To me, it was
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: a wonderful old Dudley Moore movie called Crazy People and
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: keeping in mind, keeping in mind, I have odd tastes,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: so you may never have heard of the movie Crazy
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: It was that Daryl Hannah was in it as well,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: so Dudley Moore Daryl Hannah. Dudley Moore was an advertising
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: executive who snaps and they put him in a mental
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: institution to calm down. And it's not one flew over
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: the cuckoo's nest. But he can't, you know, he's just
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: trying to put his marbles back into the bag and
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: in it he you know, he's talking to the other
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: residents of this mental care facility and he finds they
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: have this wonderful compunction not to lie about things, so
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: he starts doing ads telling the truth. You know, metamucil,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: It'll help you go to the bathroom. If you don't
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: go to the bathroom, you'll die. It's one of the

  Speaker 1: more notable ones. Jaguar for men who want to have
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Congress with women half their age. You know, those were
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: the kind of slogans he was coming up with, And
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: I just once would love to see that get hired
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: as a political consultant. Hi, I'm Dick was in you,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: and I'm running for Congress so that I can make
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: myself lots and lots and lots of money and sell
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: lots and lots and lots of books and then go
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: home and sit in my back porch and smoke cigars.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Just once, just once, I would like to hear somebody's
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: campaign announcement be Hi. I grew up a poor kid
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: in the inner city, and I would like to be
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: wildly wealthy, but I really don't have any skills anyone wants. However,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: I went to law school so that I can go
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: into Congress and find ways to get lots and lots
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: and lots of money out of companies that I'm going
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: to regulate. Vote for me, just just one time, just what.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: I would die a happy man if just one time
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: a politician would announce that, and I would have to
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: look twice because we live in the world where the
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Babylon b exists, and you watch the posturing and all
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: the back and forth, and it's Iran, it's Trump. It's
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: the AI image of him as Jesus by the way,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: real quick, and we only blushed across the AI generated
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: image of him in the robes. And I know the
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: President said he thought it made him look like a doctor.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Is that what your people told you, mister President, that
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: it made you look like a doctor. If that's what
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: your people told you, I know exactly why all this
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: stuff is starting to happen more frequently around the president.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: It's because Susan Wiles isn't there right now, or she's there,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: but she's in the midst of some aggressive chemo therapy treatments.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: This is I guarantee. This all has to do with
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: the fact that Susie Wiles is not metaphorically stop that
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: put the mouse down. She's letting people let the president
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: do things that she wouldn't let him do. Half the time.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: That's the job of the chief of staff is to
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: keep the president from doing things. You know, where was
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: John Podesta when Bill said, Hey, I'm going up to
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: my office with Monica. We're going to talk about her internship.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: So politicians, they tell you they're going to do all
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: these things for you. They're going to help you, they're
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: going to raise you your standards of living, they're going
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: to make everything more affordable for you. And one of
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: the great stories I've seen in this Kathy Hokel is
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: at the center square of it. And there's always a
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: good time to be had when Kathy Hokele is in
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: the middle of something. Right after Virginia, my home state,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: signed back into the regional greenhouse gas emissions, states like
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: New York cornerstone states are trying to get out of
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: it or work their ways free of some of the
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: aggressive twenty thirty deadline regulations, Kathy Hochel said in trying
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: to explain ify their move to get out of some
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: of the climate requirements that would have them shutting off
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: all their electric generating plants by forty percent by twenty thirty,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Kathy Hochel said things have radically changed. Funny, she would
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: pick the word radically right. I cannot in good conscience
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: knowing the moms and dads and seniors and the families
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: that are struggling, and the puppies and the small children,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: and the orphans and the transgender community, that statement, how
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: many more targets are? I cannot in good conscience. This
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: is a direct quote. I cannot in good conscience knowing
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: the moms and dads and seniors and families. I just
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: kept waiting for her to go on, and the puppies
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: at the LGBTQ, and I cannot knowing that these people
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: are struggling paying their bills. Now I cannot do something
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: I know at this very moment is going to raise
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: their electric prices. Hey, hey, Kathy, I've got a phone
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: number for you. It's an eight oh four exchange. It's
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Governor Spanburger's office. Could you call her? And if you're
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: wondering about this, I have a column up at Daily
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Signal dot com right now. It's titled Abigail Spanburger's problem
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: isn't affordability, it's believability. And it's all about this very stuff.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: So if you can even squeeze reality into the brain
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: of Kathy Hokel. Maybe you can do it to other
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: governors as well. Good morning. You're on the air with
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Joe this morning.
• 35:03
  Speaker 11: Who's this Good morning? Joe's Joel? How are you good?
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: One to Joel? How's Arizona treating you?
• 35:09
  Speaker 11: It's good.
• 35:10
  Speaker 24: I'm up early because I'm addicted to this show. I
• 35:13
  Speaker 24: have to go to a radio's anonymous or something.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: No, you don't, No, you do not, you do not.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: That's like telling your bartender you think you might be
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: an alcoholic. Please don't tell me that I am.
• 35:25
  Speaker 11: Just one more.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Joe's just one more, right, That's right, It's okay. He's
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: not driving. So what can I do for you? What's
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: on your mind?
• 35:33
  Speaker 24: Well, I'm saying this at a simplistic level. And then
• 35:37
  Speaker 24: there's one other thing I want to talk about real quick.
• 35:40
  Speaker 24: But we're all human beings, I mean, but we expect more.
• 35:44
  Speaker 24: We expect more out of people who are in positions
• 35:47
  Speaker 24: of power, and those are politicians. And we know when
• 35:51
  Speaker 24: they open their their pie hole that they you know,
• 35:54
  Speaker 24: as they say, you can tell a politics is lying
• 35:56
  Speaker 24: when they open up their their mouth speak. And the
• 36:01
  Speaker 24: problem is we can go back to the Bible, when
• 36:05
  Speaker 24: either denied Jesus three times, right, because he's human and
• 36:10
  Speaker 24: that's that. And so so we accept total honesty out
• 36:14
  Speaker 24: of everybody. I mean, we all know that. I love
• 36:18
  Speaker 24: President Trump. I think he's great. I saw him in
• 36:20
  Speaker 24: Saint Augustin right before, you know, his big biggest campaign,
• 36:24
  Speaker 24: But I saw him years ago, and and we know
• 36:27
  Speaker 24: that that. I'm sorry, I don't think he's being truthful
• 36:30
  Speaker 24: about the depiction of him being a doctor. But of
• 36:34
  Speaker 24: course Jesus was everything. He's a teacher, a doctor, a carpenter,
• 36:39
  Speaker 24: I mean, all those things. But in that in that picture,
• 36:43
  Speaker 24: it was a depiction of To most of us, it
• 36:46
  Speaker 24: looks like Jesus.
• 36:47
  Speaker 11: And and you and and.
• 36:48
  Speaker 24: All these people that get in political power or power
• 36:51
  Speaker 24: or position.
• 36:52
  Speaker 11: Look at Tiger Woods.
• 36:54
  Speaker 24: Right, I mean, he's got money, he's got everything going
• 36:57
  Speaker 24: for him, and he goes out and risks it. He
• 36:59
  Speaker 24: could have dry is driving him, but no, he's got
• 37:02
  Speaker 24: your ego, your your human body, in your mind, your
• 37:06
  Speaker 24: primitive mind take over versus the common sense. And like
• 37:09
  Speaker 24: you said, Susie Wiles isn't there and he needs that coach.
• 37:13
  Speaker 24: I don't care how strong somebody is, man or woman,
• 37:17
  Speaker 24: but when you're in a position of of whatever an actor,
• 37:20
  Speaker 24: a politician, or even ourselves.
• 37:23
  Speaker 11: We think nothing's going to happen.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Well, that's the importance of the grounding of the Ten Commandments.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, it says you will be damned forever if
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: you lie, if you cheat, you steal. You know, it's
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: pretty straightforward stuff, and I think life would be a
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: lot simpler if we just understood that.
• 37:42
  Speaker 24: I saw this post on Facebook and said, if you
• 37:45
  Speaker 24: could have one thing you know in this world to change,
• 37:49
  Speaker 24: and I said, you know, to eliminate, and I put
• 37:53
  Speaker 24: the word hate, But I think the total word should
• 37:55
  Speaker 24: be sinned because people go, well they went out and
• 37:59
  Speaker 24: killed somebody.

• 41:08
  Speaker 12: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 12: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a

  Speaker 12: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 12: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
• 41:24
  Speaker 12: diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 12: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 12: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop

  Speaker 2: On a need to know basis, because you need to know.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: The first thing today.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: Got to be got to be fired up. Joel was
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: making a point when we ran into the break there
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: and Joel, I want to finish up with you Joe
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: an Scousen of Anthem Film Festival coming up. But you
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: were talking about these sins. The whole point of this
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: list of sins is that their sins against other people,
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: and the whole the message in the Ten Commandments is
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: that it is about understanding that you are not the
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: center of the universe. And that is unfortunately, what is
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: becoming a bigger problem with us day in and day out,
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: is that we think and people misunderstand the first commandment,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: I am your Lord God, and you'll have no other
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: gods above me. And you couple it with the craven
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: images commandment, I mean, we are putting ourselves in that place.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: And I'm sure it wasn't intentional that President Trump thinks
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: of himself as Jesus. But I think he believes that
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: we are all god like if we believe and we
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: have faith, and that's fair. I don't think you are
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: supposed to create craven images. And maybe somebody in his
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: staff told him it wasn't and he believed them and
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: he was wrong. But that being said, I'm not going
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: to trade that particular feeling with saying, hey, maybe we
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: finally end this war with Iran that we've been fighting
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: since seventeen eighty six, and all the other stuff that
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: would go out of the back water if Kathy or
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: if Kamala Harris had been elected president. So I'm going
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: to take the success's policy successes with the fact that
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: I'm going to make the case that a lot of
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: our presidents probably wouldn't have been very popular with us
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: in the world of social media and twenty four hour information.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, you look at a guy like Lyndon Johnson.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: We finally get the recordings of his telephone conversations, and
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: I mean he's a bully. What was Teddy Roosevelt like?
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, just the biographers that have written about and said,
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: you know, what was Abe Lincoln?
• 46:37
  Speaker 14: Like?
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: Maybe Abe Lincoln was an ass to people. You know,
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: we we you know, we understand and this is one
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: of the things. You brought this up, and it was
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: so brilliant at the start of your phone call when
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: you said, you know, we're all people and we all
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: have these failings. This is what Madison and George Mason
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: and Patrick Henry, you know, all these people, especially Mason,
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: I think, I think really understood. The failability of people
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: is baked into the pie and you have to limit
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: how much power they have access to because it will
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: be corrupting. Don't you agree?
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 47:12
  Speaker 24: I agree. One last thing I'll make you quick. So
• 47:15
  Speaker 24: with this war going on, are we ever going to
• 47:18
  Speaker 24: find out where the physible uranium is? Because that's the
• 47:25
  Speaker 24: big thing, I mean.
• 47:26
  Speaker 11: The whole quota. The whole quota is we're.
• 47:29
  Speaker 24: Trying to fight against nuclear annihilation and inhumanity towards other humans.
• 47:35
  Speaker 24: But the biggest thing is that was the big argument.
• 47:38
  Speaker 11: So where is it? And are we going to get it?
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: That's the one hundred million billion dollar question right now. Joel,
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: thank you for the call. I appreciate it. Our friends
• 47:48

  Speaker 1: It is the Anthem Film Festival, great films, great stories
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: to be told, and is really the best way to
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: transmit society is through our storytelling. Joanne is on the
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: Newsmaker's line with us. Good morning, Joe Anne. How are
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: you doing today?
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: Hi Joe, Thanks thanks for having me.
• 48:19
  Speaker 11: I'm looking forward to talking to you and your listeners.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: Was it weird last year being so close to Los
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: Angeles holding a film festival in Palm Springs and such
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: a Hollywood on clay Before we talk about this year,
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: I just kind of thought about the Hollywood vibe that
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: we had last year in Palm Springs.
• 48:38
  Speaker 25: It was fun, wasn't it.
• 48:40
  Speaker 17: I Mean, everything was.
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: Just so glamorous and the setting was so wonderful and
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: it was a great time.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: So what do we have coming up this year? How
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: hard was it to get all the films lined up?
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it's a process of like, I really wish
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: I had another hour to squeeze this one in, but
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: how long had happened?
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: Aways?
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: Always always that's my tough best thing. Right now? I
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: have probably eight films that I would love to find
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: a place for, but I have to decide what to
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: give up in order to do that. It's every year
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: I start out thinking, gosh, I wonderful, I have enough
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: films to fill the festival, and the next thing I know,
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: we just have great films.
• 49:21
  Speaker 18: This year, as you know, we're celebrating the Semiquin Centennial,
• 49:25
  Speaker 18: the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the United States,
• 49:29
  Speaker 18: and interestingly have it just turned out that most of
• 49:33
  Speaker 18: our films deal with freedom, not only in the United
• 49:36
  Speaker 18: States but all around the world. And it starts with
• 49:39
  Speaker 18: a great film called Fulfilling the Promise that talks about
• 49:45
  Speaker 18: the Declaration of Independence. It went to four different teachers
• 49:48
  Speaker 18: in four different schools, rural and urban, charter, private, and public,
• 49:54
  Speaker 18: and they just talk about how they teach the Declaration
• 49:57
  Speaker 18: of Independence, what strengths are and what it's weaknesses are.
• 50:01
  Speaker 18: And from there we just talk about problems in other
• 50:04
  Speaker 18: countries and how they are working to bring freedom to
• 50:08
  Speaker 18: their countries. So it's going to be a very international flair,
• 50:12
  Speaker 18: but always focused on human rights, freedom and those basic
• 50:16
  Speaker 18: liberties life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: Well, you certainly see it ripped right from the headlines,
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: whether you're talking about what's going on underneath the media
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: blank blackout in Iran and then the free speech debates
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: through Europe where John Locke invented the idea, really observed
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: and put it all. We may not have invented it,
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: but he put it to paper, and then you know,
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: brought to life, breathed life into it by Jefferson here
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: from our flagship city of Charlottesville and to the next
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty years. I know that you know
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: that there is always an interesting balance, speaker, because there
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: are a lot of documentaries, as you said, just kicking
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: off with this one about America and the Declaration of Independence,
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: but they're also nowadays there's so many liberty based filmmakers
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: that are making, you know, fiction as well and telling
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: stories in that way. Do you have any notables in
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: that category this year, Joanne?
• 51:25
  Speaker 11: I do I have?
• 51:26
  Speaker 18: You know?
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: And you're getting a scooped because these these filmmakers don't
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: know that I'm selecting their films yet.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: Oh ohmz.
• 51:36
  Speaker 18: I haven't even made the announcements yet. I don't even
• 51:39
  Speaker 18: know if they're going to accept.
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: Our invitation and I'll tell you about a film that
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: I hope to have, and.
• 51:45
  Speaker 18: That's the Art of Inflation.
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: It's Uh. It's directed by Uh Brett Leta and Tim Hedberg,
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: who's a benefit our Film festival several times. It's called
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: the Art of Inflation, and it's set in a country
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: and probably southern Asia. It doesn't actually say what the
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: country is, and it talks about what happens when you
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: have overwhelming inflation and you're constantly having to put your
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: mountains of cash into hard goods in order to exchange
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: it for something else. And Messius once said that paper
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: is the only thing that you can slap ink onto
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: and make it worthless, talking about paper money, and I
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: won't tell you the twist ending, but it shows how
• 52:31
  Speaker 4: this paper money becomes extremely valuable, but not as an
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: exchange of currency. Beautifully filmed, well acted, and.
• 52:41
  Speaker 11: I'm sure we'll have that film in our list.
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: And another one though, actually hang on to the other
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: one for us join scouts and coming up on the news,
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: we'll visit more about freedom.
• 52:51
  Speaker 20: Crime across the country is at an all time high.
• 52:54
  Speaker 20: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
• 52:56
  Speaker 20: a risk. We don't want the feeling of being unprotected
• 52:59
  Speaker 20: and vultulnerable. We found GETCCL dot com. Get CCL dot
