- 0:15Speaker 1: on the talk media.
- 0:16Speaker 2: Network, jewortsaid steal men have a day.

- 0:39Speaker 7: Joe.
- 0:40Speaker 3: Bless you for letting me be of service to you.
- 0:43Speaker 3: I want yo, you know our business model, and if
- 0:49Speaker 3: you don't, here it is. I will tell you what
- 0:52Speaker 3: went on last night. I will give you my analysis
- 0:55Speaker 3: of it. We'll chop it up into easily digestible gummies.
- 0:59Speaker 3: But I also want to hear how it is impacting
- 1:01Speaker 3: you where you are sure it sounds like a populist trope,
- 1:05Speaker 3: but I mean it. How else am I going to know?
- 1:08Speaker 3: I have long since given up my psychic abilities after
- 1:13Speaker 3: I started bending spoons unintentionally in a restaurant, and it
- 1:17Speaker 3: was a bad look anyway, Uri Geller jokes. Notwithstanding, we
- 1:25Speaker 3: gather on this Friday, the final day of July, a
- 1:29Speaker 3: show of hands, who else thinks this year has been
- 1:32Speaker 3: going slowly. I just feel like and maybe it's because
- 1:37Speaker 3: of what we do, and there's so much every day.
- 1:41Speaker 3: For example, just for example, there was a day in
- 1:47Speaker 3: my life where Cuba reforming their economy to be a capitalist,
- 1:55Speaker 3: open free market, or at least beginning that transition, would
- 2:01Speaker 3: be the lead news story, not somewhere down on page four,
- 2:06Speaker 3: and maybe it should be higher up, and we will
- 2:12Speaker 3: spend some time on discussing the reforms in Cuba, and
- 2:16Speaker 3: do you buy it or will you buy it? Show
- 2:21Speaker 3: of hands? Who wants a box of cigars? I know
- 2:26Speaker 3: that when President Obama quote normalized things, the sale of
- 2:30Speaker 3: Cuban cigars went through the roof. Of course, I think
- 2:33Speaker 3: it was just another one of those President Obama saying, oh,
- 2:37Speaker 3: we're just not going to enforce these laws anymore. I've
- 2:41Speaker 3: decided that any law I don't like, you don't have
- 2:44Speaker 3: to enforce. There's a bit about that on my Daily
- 2:49Speaker 3: Signal column if you go to Daily Signal dot com.
- 2:52Speaker 3: By the way, there so so much going on, and
- 2:56Speaker 3: maybe that's why it just seems like we're only just
- 2:59Speaker 3: in August. Really, so leave us to our first things
- 3:05Speaker 3: this morning. Okay, okay, since I had to open my cake.
- 3:11Speaker 3: Coal let's lead with the Cuban story. Cuba announced details
- 3:16Speaker 3: of its plan to open up key sectors of its
- 3:19Speaker 3: economy to private industry. Economic changes, including easing restrictions on
- 3:25Speaker 3: land ownership, allowing businesses to import fuel and medicine, authorizing
- 3:32Speaker 3: private tourist companies to operate on the island were discussed
- 3:36Speaker 3: by Cuban lawmakers all in their two day national Assembly
- 3:41Speaker 3: that concluded yesterday. Eighteen undocumented migrants crossed a border and
- 3:53Speaker 3: caused chaos, not in the United States, but in the
- 3:58Speaker 3: Spanish territory of Quita As. Thousands of people breached the
- 4:05Speaker 3: frontier with Morocco and poured into the tiny Spanish territory.
- 4:12Speaker 3: Spain state broadcaster RTVE broadcasted image of burned vehicles on
- 4:18Speaker 3: the Moroccans side of the border and reported civil guard clashes.
- 4:25Speaker 3: President Trump said Thursday a deal has been reached for
- 4:28Speaker 3: Hamas to disarm and for Israel to withdraw its forces
- 4:33Speaker 3: from Gaza. Another one of those stories that in any
- 4:38Speaker 3: other cycle probably was the lead story. President Trump said
- 4:42Speaker 3: Thursday he may pull Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's nomination
- 4:47Speaker 3: to avoid conceding to Senate Republicans demands regarding tax audit
- 4:53Speaker 3: immunity within the weaponization of government settlement. Anthropics said it's
- 4:59Speaker 3: our artificial intelligence models hacked into three other organizations during
- 5:04Speaker 3: testing runs. Just days after chat, GTP maker open Ai
- 5:09Speaker 3: raised concerns over AI controls once it disclosed that rogue
- 5:15Speaker 3: models hacked into Hugging Face. The United States and Iran
- 5:21Speaker 3: fired more missiles at one another Thursday. Jordan said Thursday
- 5:25Speaker 3: had intercepted Iranian missiles for the second consecutive day. Kuwait
- 5:29Speaker 3: said a strike in the northern part of the country
- 5:32Speaker 3: killed one person. Also this week, drones caused fires on
- 5:36Speaker 3: ships at an Egyptian port, and Saudi Arabia said it
- 5:39Speaker 3: came under fire from Iranian back minister militias. Meanwhile, Pakistan
- 5:46Speaker 3: mediators insisted on Thursday the negotiations between Iran and the
- 5:51Speaker 3: United States are ongoing despite the missile barrages. And those
- 5:57Speaker 3: are our first things for this Friday morning. Our friends

- 8:04Speaker 10: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 10: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 10: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 10: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 10: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:36Speaker 10: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42Speaker 10: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46Speaker 10: in many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51Speaker 10: healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

- 9:58Speaker 6: Hi, everybody, I'm Jack Hannah. It's always a boy. Growing
- 10:01Speaker 6: up on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 6: I'm not only in alle of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 6: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:08Speaker 6: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 6: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 10:15Speaker 6: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 10:17Speaker 6: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21Speaker 6: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 10:23Speaker 6: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 10:25Speaker 6: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 10:29Speaker 6: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 10:32Speaker 6: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
- 10:35Speaker 6: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
- 10:38Speaker 6: from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
- 10:41Speaker 6: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
- 10:44Speaker 6: variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
- 10:46Speaker 6: help those in need. So please join me an American

- 13:12Speaker 1: The first thing today on the Talk Media Network by
- 13:15Speaker 1: Joe Thomas.
- 13:23Speaker 4: Pallas Scambling and Harena, I'm talking the risk. Send b
- 13:34Speaker 4: yourstuns and money, Dad, get me out of this half.
- 13:43Speaker 3: So Cuba's National Assembly first the idea that their National
- 13:48Speaker 3: Assembly meets for two days and then you know, I
- 13:52Speaker 3: guess whenever the ghost of Fidel calls them back to it.
- 13:57Speaker 3: I'm not sure exactly how they organize, but fully thinking, gosh,
- 14:01Speaker 3: it's like the US Senate when it comes to their
- 14:04Speaker 3: schedule two days and then they got three hundred and
- 14:07Speaker 3: sixty odd other ones to do with as they see fit.
- 14:13Speaker 3: Fact finding, I'm sure huh oh no, no, that was
- 14:19Speaker 3: being facetious. I'm just I'm just making a course generalization
- 14:23Speaker 3: that amongst national assemblies, you've got the Cuban National Assembly
- 14:30Speaker 3: that meets for two days a year, it seems, and
- 14:32Speaker 3: then the US Senate that it's what two days a week?
- 14:38Speaker 3: And now you know, here's here's the fun of legislations.
- 14:42Speaker 3: A simple bill, this is just apropos of nothing doesn't
- 14:46Speaker 3: impact you in any way, shape or form unless you
- 14:49Speaker 3: live in this little mountaintop enclave that was built around
- 14:53Speaker 3: a ski area to make the ski area pencil out.
- 14:59Speaker 3: You know how you have planned communities in Florida, you
- 15:04Speaker 3: know the that are there just to give the golf
- 15:08Speaker 3: course a boundary. You build a golf course and you're like, okay,
- 15:14Speaker 3: so where are the houses going to go surrounding it? Well,
- 15:19Speaker 3: there's a ski area in central Virginia. Stop stop, I
- 15:24Speaker 3: know you're listening to us up in Provo and fourteen
- 15:27Speaker 3: hundred saying ski area in Virginia. Yes, do we have
- 15:31Speaker 3: ski areas along the Blue Ridge called Winter Green and
- 15:38Speaker 3: the ski area built a condo community around it, and
- 15:43Speaker 3: there's a lot of people that live up there and
- 15:47Speaker 3: it's beautiful. It's right at the top of the Blue
- 15:50Speaker 3: Ridge Mountains Skyline Drive. It's the Blue Ridge Parkway. It's
- 15:55Speaker 3: the open part, not the national park. But ironically, you know,
- 16:00Speaker 3: this is where we kicked all the hillbillies out so
- 16:02Speaker 3: we could build the Blue Ridge Parkway, and then we
- 16:09Speaker 3: moved the you know, people with money in there. But
- 16:12Speaker 3: I digress. Oh that's true. We built monuments to all
- 16:17Speaker 3: the displaced hillbilly families that we had to kick out
- 16:21Speaker 3: to build the Blue Ridge Parkway.
- 16:29Speaker 17: But this.
- 16:32Speaker 3: Enclave of tens of thousands of people has one road
- 16:36Speaker 3: in and one road out. That's actually one road in
- 16:40Speaker 3: and out, which causes a problem because you're up on
- 16:44Speaker 3: a mountain and you have these things called wildfires. So
- 16:48Speaker 3: I guess it was about four or five years ago.
- 16:51Speaker 3: Member of Congress proposed a bill. As a matter of fact,
- 16:54Speaker 3: he'll be on the program later on. He's the host
- 16:57Speaker 3: of the Good for America podcast. So Bob Good started
- 17:05Speaker 3: trying to get this bill passed back when he was
- 17:07Speaker 3: in Congress four or five years ago. And it's only
- 17:15Speaker 3: just past the US Senate Energy and was it the
- 17:20Speaker 3: Energy and Commerce Commission? What urcane little board did it
- 17:24Speaker 3: finally get passed through like a kidney Stone the Senate
- 17:33Speaker 3: Energy and Natural Resources Committee. You know why because it's
- 17:38Speaker 3: part of a National Park Service area. So the government
- 17:45Speaker 3: has to decide whether they can build a road out
- 17:48Speaker 3: the back door, basically onto the Blue Ridge Parkway in
- 17:53Speaker 3: case there's a fire. Four years it's taken to even
- 18:01Speaker 3: get this to the Senate, and the Senate is getting
- 18:04Speaker 3: ready to go on a recess because working two and
- 18:07Speaker 3: a half days a week is very tiring. I mean,
- 18:11Speaker 3: look at what it's done to Mitch McConnell. It's getting nutty.
- 18:19Speaker 3: Now you've got a guy saying that the pictures are
- 18:22Speaker 3: showing Elaine Chow wearing a twelve dollars shirt. This is
- 18:26Speaker 3: where we've become. We cannot investigate what Tony Fauci was
- 18:34Speaker 3: doing paying for gain of function research in the Wuhan
- 18:38Speaker 3: region of China, but we can figure out that Elaine
- 18:43Speaker 3: Chow is wearing a twelve dollars blouse in her weekend
- 18:51Speaker 3: at Mitchie's photographs from her husband's alleged hospital bed, to
- 18:57Speaker 3: which the Internet is claiming you would never buy a
- 19:01Speaker 3: twelve dollars blouse. I don't know. But anything you can
- 19:07Speaker 3: grasp on to as straws so the US Senate meeting
- 19:13Speaker 3: just slightly more frequently than the Cuban General Assembly. But
- 19:17Speaker 3: the Cuban General Assembly talking about reforming in massive ways
- 19:24Speaker 3: their approach to communism. And I was reading some of
- 19:27Speaker 3: the things that they want to do, allowing for property ownership,
- 19:35Speaker 3: business ownership, imports of foreign fuel and medicine, maybe even
- 19:41Speaker 3: automobiles made more recently than nineteen fifty seven. These are
- 19:50Speaker 3: all the same reforms that Chairman She's predecessor had brought
- 19:55Speaker 3: to China, which helped create a Chinese middle class that
- 20:02Speaker 3: once Chairman She took power in Beijing, he immediately went
- 20:07Speaker 3: after He didn't want to get rid of it, but
- 20:09Speaker 3: he decided.
- 20:10Speaker 4: That they weren't paying their fair share.
- 20:15Speaker 3: That's the English translation of what Chairman She said about
- 20:19Speaker 3: the new middle class in China. It's also what's happening
- 20:24Speaker 3: in places like Vietnam. While the United States continues this
- 20:33Speaker 3: fixation with Cuban style Castro's style communism, Zorhan Mamdani has decided,
- 20:43Speaker 3: you know how he's going to pay for his free
- 20:45Speaker 3: groceries or I guess low cost government grocery stores. He's
- 20:49Speaker 3: going to start taxing tips tips people that in New
- 20:57Speaker 3: York are working under minimum wage, perhaps making even less
- 21:02Speaker 3: than non citizens. They're working in the shadows and make
- 21:07Speaker 3: their money because some Wall Street type w drop fifty
- 21:10Speaker 3: bucks on them for a one hour lunch, and Zorhan
- 21:14Speaker 3: Mam Donnie wants to go after those people to pay
- 21:18Speaker 3: for his state run grocery stores. So while we get
- 21:23Speaker 3: communists socialists running in Massachusetts and Los Angeles and Washington,
- 21:31Speaker 3: DC and properly elected as the mayor of New York City,
- 21:37Speaker 3: all these socialists enclaves the communist countries of Cuba and
- 21:41Speaker 3: Vietnam are running screaming from the fire, bearing the question, then,
- 21:52Speaker 3: how absolutely knit, wittedly dumb can the Democratic Party get?
- 22:01Speaker 7: Hey, guys, I'm Teddy Savage. National League Training for Planet
- 22:04Speaker 7: Fitness and the American Heart Association recommends that we all
- 22:07Speaker 7: get at least one hundred and fifty minutes of moderate
- 22:10Speaker 7: aerobic activity in a week's time. But here's the thing
- 22:13Speaker 7: that one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to
- 22:15Speaker 7: be super intense. As a matter of fact, it could
- 22:18Speaker 7: just be you moving your body and doing what you

- 24:07Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 24:12Speaker 10: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18Speaker 10: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22Speaker 10: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26Speaker 10: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 10: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:42Speaker 10: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 24:45Speaker 10: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 24:50Speaker 10: healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

- 26:40Speaker 9: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
- 26:44Speaker 9: That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
- 26:47Speaker 9: leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
- 26:50Speaker 9: improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
- 26:54Speaker 9: when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
- 26:57Speaker 9: energy star logo and read the energy guide later. And
- 27:01Speaker 9: there are day to day things you can do. Lower
- 27:03Speaker 9: your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,
- 27:06Speaker 9: close fireplace stampers when they're not in use, and keep

- 28:35Speaker 5: Day.
- 28:36Speaker 3: So I got this email yesterday after the program from
- 28:41Speaker 3: a young fellow listens to us in Connecticut on WGCH
- 28:46Speaker 3: fourteen ninety. He said, dear mister Thomas, what part of
- 28:50Speaker 3: Greenwich did your mother grow up into Did you ever
- 28:54Speaker 3: come up here? And where did you see the picture
- 28:59Speaker 3: of Dick Blumenthal hanging out with Voladimir Zelenski. Well, I'll
- 29:05Speaker 3: start with the last one first. That was Associated Press
- 29:09Speaker 3: wire spray that was in the Associated Press newswire coverage
- 29:16Speaker 3: of President Zelenski's sales pitch to the US Senate. Did
- 29:23Speaker 3: that go? I mean, it seemed like it was one
- 29:25Speaker 3: of those timeshare things. Hey, Senator, you're invited to a
- 29:30Speaker 3: free lunch on Tuesday, right before Lindsey Graham's funeral. Can
- 29:35Speaker 3: you join us for a free lunch? All you have
- 29:38Speaker 3: to do is listen to a short presentation by President.
- 29:43Speaker 3: Have you ever been to those?
- 29:45Speaker 5: You ever?
- 29:45Speaker 3: I mean, it's years since I think anyone's been unsavvy
- 29:51Speaker 3: enough to fall prey to those. Yeah, hey, you've got
- 29:54Speaker 3: a free trip to the Bahamas. All we ask is
- 29:56Speaker 3: each morning at breakfast, do you join us for a
- 29:58Speaker 3: short meeting about the great exciting opportunities to invest in.
- 30:08Speaker 3: But that's what I fancifully just imagined Vladimir's Lensky's team
- 30:13Speaker 3: sending out emails to all the Senators. Could you join
- 30:17Speaker 3: President Zelenski for a quick lunch and a short presentation
- 30:21Speaker 3: about exciting investment opportunities in Kiev. But there he was
- 30:29Speaker 3: Danang Dick Blumenthal hanging out and it just, Brian, it
- 30:39Speaker 3: excited me because, you know, connecting Ukraine and the situation
- 30:45Speaker 3: there with Vietnam just seemed like the right thing. It
- 30:49Speaker 3: was like a multi generational thing to see Danang Dick
- 30:54Speaker 3: Blumenthal hanging out advising. Because of the photograph and the
- 30:57Speaker 3: associated press spray was very much one of those where
- 31:03Speaker 3: Danang Dick was giving him serious advice on how to
- 31:07Speaker 3: make his background look more full of gravitas than it
- 31:11Speaker 3: actually is. The best part of the picture, though, Brian,
- 31:18Speaker 3: is that Zelenski is not listening to him at all.
- 31:23Speaker 3: He's looking at somebody else. Well they oh, well, now
- 31:28Speaker 3: Vlad act he sounds more like this. To answer your
- 31:34Speaker 3: other question, my mother actually grew up in Old Greenwich.
- 31:39Speaker 3: Her dad was a New York City lawyer who actually,
- 31:45Speaker 3: I mean it is a great story. His family came
- 31:48Speaker 3: over from Scotland in nineteen hundred, moved into New Jersey
- 31:54Speaker 3: and then with nothing, and he put himself through high
- 32:00Speaker 3: school to the degree where he could afford or get
- 32:03Speaker 3: admitted to NYU And tell me any law student can
- 32:07Speaker 3: do this today if this isn't a powerable and I
- 32:10Speaker 3: know it's personal, but it's also a powerable on the situation.
- 32:14Speaker 3: So he wanted to be a lawyer. He saw that
- 32:18Speaker 3: living in America meant that this was a land of
- 32:22Speaker 3: rule of law and that that was an important differentiation
- 32:30Speaker 3: from the rest of the world. So he wanted to
- 32:33Speaker 3: be part of that. So he went to New York
- 32:36Speaker 3: University Law School. That's where his grandson wound up going
- 32:42Speaker 3: as we No, yeah, he went briefly there and Villanova
- 32:47Speaker 3: as well, but NYU Law is beyond reach of a
- 32:54Speaker 3: lot of ACT test takers these days. And my grandfather
- 33:05Speaker 3: put him literally put himself through school. This is his
- 33:07Speaker 3: family didn't have two drachma to rub together. No, they
- 33:13Speaker 3: came over from Scotland with nothing and were literally living
- 33:19Speaker 3: paycheck to paycheck in the early nineteen hundreds. And he
- 33:22Speaker 3: got into NYU Law and lived in a tenement one bedroom,
- 33:29Speaker 3: well I have been a bedroom, probably a studio apartment,
- 33:32Speaker 3: tenement apartment in Brooklyn, bar backing to pay rent and
- 33:40Speaker 3: food and that kind of thing. So he'd go to
- 33:43Speaker 3: NYU all day, then go lug beer from the basement
- 33:49Speaker 3: and then study at night at the library in Brooklyn
- 33:53Speaker 3: Public Library. He didn't have time to sit around the
- 33:56Speaker 3: NYU library, so he would go and pull the law
- 34:00Speaker 3: books down at the New York Public Library, where he
- 34:03Speaker 3: met a young librarian who was the first female in
- 34:06Speaker 3: her family to get a college degree, and they were
- 34:09Speaker 3: smitten and thus begat my mother in Greenwich. But he
- 34:14Speaker 3: moved up to Greenwich, build his house in Old Greenwich
- 34:17Speaker 3: and then wrote a lot of the zoning code for
- 34:21Speaker 3: Greenwich to try to keep New York moving in while
- 34:26Speaker 3: you weren't looking there. So there's there, Brian. I hope
- 34:29Speaker 3: that states your history a lot of time. And we
- 34:34Speaker 3: would go up every other weekend and spend time with
- 34:37Speaker 3: my grandparents, I'm sure, much to their chagrin now that
- 34:40Speaker 3: i'm their age, thinking oh the kids are back again,
- 34:46Speaker 3: but that we would descend upon them every other weekend
- 34:49Speaker 3: for a respite from Queen's and or my dad. I'm
- 34:54Speaker 3: not sure what my mother went up there every other
- 34:56Speaker 3: weekend for, because when she got into college, she literally
- 35:00Speaker 3: moved to the other side of the country to get
- 35:02Speaker 3: away from her folks. But we would go back up
- 35:04Speaker 3: there every other weekend. So that's the deal on that,
- 35:08Speaker 3: but I appreciate the fact that you also enjoyed an
- 35:12Speaker 3: idea where Chris Murphy seems like the learned and judicious
- 35:18Speaker 3: member of the Connecticut represation.
- 35:21Speaker 1: Wal Trump just announced an agreement with Saudi Arabia to
- 35:25Speaker 1: help them build a full scale nuclear program.
- 35:28Speaker 3: I want to, Brian, can you explain to me, as
- 35:30Speaker 3: a denizen of Connecticut, what's with Chris Murphy's Al Jazeera look?
- 35:37Speaker 3: I mean, you know, the everything missing is except the
- 35:40Speaker 3: printed scarves. He hasn't shaved. I mean, he's got that.
- 35:45Speaker 3: Does somebody tell Chris Murphy that he looks like Don
- 35:49Speaker 3: Johnson or something with the unshaved look. He looks like
- 35:55Speaker 3: he should be holding an AR fifteen yelling at the
- 35:59Speaker 3: camera about their demands and how there will be no
- 36:06Speaker 3: peace while Gaza remains. He looks like he's a senator
- 36:10Speaker 3: from Gaza and there's nothing wrong with it. It's a look,
- 36:14Speaker 3: and he's allowed to it. I'm just everyone's up in
- 36:18Speaker 3: arms because senators have started dropping f bombs during hearings.
- 36:30Speaker 3: And believe me, if you're having a hearing with Tony
- 36:32Speaker 3: Fauci compleading the fifth every five seconds, including two questions
- 36:38Speaker 3: like do you know what the color of the rug
- 36:39Speaker 3: is in front of you, And do you know what
- 36:43Speaker 3: the Fifth Amendment says? I drop some F bombs as well,
- 36:48Speaker 3: But I just don't. Chris Murphy is such a Caucasian
- 36:53Speaker 3: that the whole unshaven thing just you know, looks like
- 36:58Speaker 3: he was found at an encampment on the side of
- 37:01Speaker 3: the Mayanas River and somebody said, hey, Chris, let's put
- 37:06Speaker 3: this shirt and tie on you and see if you're
- 37:09Speaker 3: you know, do a camera test. No, I mean he's
- 37:14Speaker 3: he is absolutely indescript as a human being without it. Yes,
- 37:20Speaker 3: he is. He is generic, middle aged white man. If
- 37:26Speaker 3: you were picking up characters for a video game, his
- 37:32Speaker 3: character would be called guy or soccer dad or middle manager.
- 37:48Speaker 3: But I mean we've saved him from that by giving
- 37:50Speaker 3: him a chance to work, you know, two days a
- 37:52Speaker 3: week in the US Senate. Thank you Brian for the email.

- 45:04Speaker 3: the same thing over and over again? If you've ever
- 45:07Speaker 3: watched or had a conversation with an activist of progressive persuasion,
- 45:14Speaker 3: it gets frustrating and a little bit unnerving when they

- 46:35Speaker 3: the attitude of Americans over the war in Iran. Associated
- 46:49Speaker 3: Press now publishing polling data that shows how little Americans
- 46:59Speaker 3: inclin including Republicans, support our military operations in Iran. Why
- 47:05Speaker 3: because everybody, perhaps present company excluded, is telling you why
- 47:15Speaker 3: this is wrong. AP and their association with the Norks,
- 47:23Speaker 3: which I still say sounds like a villainous character from
- 47:26Speaker 3: a Tolkien yarn. Most Americans say, reports the Associated Press,
- 47:33Speaker 3: the war in Iran has not been worth fighting. The
- 47:41Speaker 3: question was do you believe the war with Iran has
- 47:44Speaker 3: been worth fighting, not worth fighting, or don't know? Thirty
- 47:50Speaker 3: three percent of US adults say it was worth fighting.
- 47:53Speaker 3: Sixty four percent, according to the NORK survey on July
- 47:57Speaker 3: twenty third through twenty seventh, not worth fighting. It's amazing
- 48:04Speaker 3: to me as ten percent of Democrats say it was
- 48:07Speaker 3: worth fighting. Good news for those who are seeking reelection
- 48:13Speaker 3: in Congress under the Republican banner. Sixty one percent of Republicans,
- 48:18Speaker 3: according to the NORCS, say it was worth fighting. Why
- 48:26Speaker 3: do they do it? Because it works non stop, round
- 48:30Speaker 3: the clock, over and over and over again, expert after expert.
- 48:44Speaker 3: And this is only with a handful of tragic cases
- 48:48Speaker 3: of US service members being killed tangentially through missile strikes
- 48:53Speaker 3: and other countries and that kind of thing. If we
- 48:57Speaker 3: were in wholesale conflict in the country, and I wouldn't
- 49:05Speaker 3: necessarily sit there and say we're ready to do that,
- 49:08Speaker 3: because I don't believe we would be seen as the
- 49:10Speaker 3: liberators of the Iranian people yet, although they just hung
- 49:15Speaker 3: two more people in the city square the other day
- 49:20Speaker 3: for doing what you and I do every morning, So
- 49:23Speaker 3: let's not forget who we're talking about here. And another
- 49:27Speaker 3: instance of this on the positive side, I want to
- 49:29Speaker 3: give you something good to hang your hat on. So
- 49:32Speaker 3: all of our conversations with Ken Coochinelli and the folks
- 49:36Speaker 3: at the Election Transparency Initiative have been apparently paying some fruit.
- 49:45Speaker 3: Gallop poll this in Newsmax shows Americans approaching the midterms,
- 49:52Speaker 3: which are just a little bit more than one hundred
- 49:55Speaker 3: days away.
- 49:56Speaker 8: Did you know.
- 49:58Speaker 3: More primaries coul mind on Tuesday of next week, including
- 50:02Speaker 3: Virginia's we may crest one hundred votes cast in the
- 50:06Speaker 3: Senate primaries in some counties. But the majority of Americans
- 50:15Speaker 3: are worried about political election interference, ballot mishandling, and confidence
- 50:24Speaker 3: overall in the voting process. Why do they do it?
- 50:28Speaker 3: Because it works and the narrative is in a perilous place.
- 50:37Speaker 3: Seventy seven percent of Democrats fear politicians could pressure election
- 50:44Speaker 3: officials to change election results. Now, I'm not a lawyer,
- 50:55Speaker 3: but that is what's the phrase. There's a phrase for
- 51:00Speaker 3: oh yeah, against the law. So if there is a
- 51:09Speaker 3: concern that people are going to do this, why are
- 51:14Speaker 3: so many Democrats against the idea of poll watchers and
- 51:18Speaker 3: election officials. When Ken was on with us just the
- 51:22Speaker 3: other day talking about get yourself to your local Department
- 51:27Speaker 3: of Elections and have yourself hired on as an election official,
- 51:33Speaker 3: people were like, Oh, I couldn't do that. I'd be targeted.
- 51:38Speaker 3: Do we not have civil rights cases about being targeted
- 51:46Speaker 3: for your political beliefs and or your lifestyle? Fifty six
- 51:52Speaker 3: percent of Republicans think that could happen. I just did
- 51:57Speaker 3: yesterday's afternoon Constitutional was how we get bipartisan opposition to
- 52:03Speaker 3: security cameras on our street corners. Most of it is
- 52:09Speaker 3: because we don't believe anyone is following the law. Because nobody,
- 52:16Speaker 3: when it is found that they have violated the law,
- 52:19Speaker 3: go to prison see Anthony Fauci. Because they can find
- 52:26Speaker 3: within the piles and piles of legal jargon some loophole
- 52:31Speaker 3: that has been buried under our judicial hoarding of law,
- 52:40Speaker 3: just enough of a loophole to slide out of. So
- 52:44Speaker 3: nobody ever seems to go to jail for their wrongdoing,
- 52:48Speaker 3: So why shouldn't we fear the wrongdoing.
- 52:51Speaker 9: My name is Bobby.
- 52:52Speaker 13: I'm a veteran and lost my leg to a roadside bomb.
