- 1:58Speaker 2: Said, well, you know, it sounds like a cop out
- 2:01Speaker 2: to say I'm always preparing for the radio show, but
- 2:05Speaker 2: it's that's not really a cop out. Every you know,
- 2:07Speaker 2: everything that happens, I'm reading it, I'm stashing it, I'm
- 2:11Speaker 2: filing it away, and then we just leave it b
- 2:17Speaker 2: and I go to sleep because I need sleep before

- 2:53Speaker 2: love you unconditionally like a dog or hire you as
- 2:56Speaker 2: staff like a cat. Will I I'm a cat person.
- 3:02Speaker 2: I can be honest about it. But this morning is
- 3:07Speaker 2: proof positive that you know you cannot overly prepared.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Let's just say we.
- 3:11Speaker 2: Had everything all laid out and all this stuff was recorded,
- 3:14Speaker 2: and it's a Saturday morning, and I wanted to sleep
- 3:16Speaker 2: in or whatever.
- 3:18Speaker 1: So so often happens.
- 3:19Speaker 2: Well, oops, sorry, everything went pear shaped in Caracas. Things
- 3:28Speaker 2: go boom in the night and then Nicholas Medoro is gone.
- 3:32Speaker 2: Now there's debate whether he was captured. Donald Trump says captured,
- 3:38Speaker 2: but I'm hearing from sources that he he asked for capture,
- 3:44Speaker 2: if you want to put it in that way. Uh,
- 3:46Speaker 2: this is more of a voluntary get me the hell
- 3:49Speaker 2: out of here than it.
- 3:52Speaker 1: Is anything else.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Is this, you know, just another version of the Shah saying, hey,
- 3:56Speaker 2: can you put me up in Boca Ratone for a while?
- 3:59Speaker 2: I hear the village are very nice. We'll get further
- 4:02Speaker 2: into that, so let us begin with our first things. Caracas.

- 4:30Speaker 2: said that we demand proof of life. Her statement, the
- 4:35Speaker 2: cradle of the Liberator was attacked in the face of
- 4:39Speaker 2: this situation. Can you actually with the poverty and the
- 4:43Speaker 2: people getting disappeared, you can call it, I guess if
- 4:47Speaker 2: there's secret police on every street corner, you can call
- 4:49Speaker 2: it whatever you want.
- 4:50Speaker 1: But anyway, she.
- 4:51Speaker 2: Said, the cradle of the Liberator was attacked. In the
- 4:54Speaker 2: face of this situation. We do not know the whereabouts
- 4:57Speaker 2: of President Maduro. We demand President and Trump proof of
- 5:01Speaker 2: life of President Maduro. People to the streets, the vice president,
- 5:06Speaker 2: I guess now. President of Venezuela, Delsi Rodriguez said, just
- 5:11Speaker 2: hours ago, strong earthquake meanwhile just north of there rattled
- 5:16Speaker 2: southern and Central Mexico Friday, interrupting President Claudia Schinbaum's first
- 5:22Speaker 2: press briefing of the new year. As seismic alarms sounded,

- 5:41Speaker 2: million dollars that he said there is credible evidence that
- 5:45Speaker 2: the current owner of Hifo, which is dealing with Mcore
- 5:51Speaker 2: to make aerospace and defense chips for computers, the current
- 5:57Speaker 2: owner is a citizen of the People's Public of China.
- 6:01Speaker 1: The President stated.
- 6:03Speaker 2: Iran's Supreme leader, Ayatola Ali Kameni is threatening Donald Trump.
- 6:13Speaker 2: After President Trump said he would come to the aid
- 6:16Speaker 2: of protesters if they were fired on by Iranian police.
- 6:21Speaker 2: He said on Saturday that Iran will not yield to
- 6:25Speaker 2: the enemy, God willing Khameni said, and by divine grace,
- 6:29Speaker 2: we will bring the enemy to its knees. Offshore wind

- 6:51Speaker 2: of State on Friday demanding voting records.

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

- 13:21Speaker 1: From the home of the First Amendment, First thing today.
- 13:27Speaker 16: In that head.
- 13:33Speaker 2: Trump, Oh Yes, and it's really palatial, as nice as
- 13:39Speaker 2: the residence at sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue is. I think
- 13:45Speaker 2: President Trump enjoys his domicile in the frontal cortex of
- 13:50Speaker 2: all the people who just cannot stand the fact that
- 13:53Speaker 2: we would elect an outsider to be president of the
- 13:56Speaker 2: United States, somebody who hadn't passed through the digestive system
- 14:00Speaker 2: of all the systems that have been put into place
- 14:03Speaker 2: to vet members of the uniparty so that we know
- 14:06Speaker 2: that once they've passed through the sphincter of American politics, that.
- 14:13Speaker 1: They're going to do the right thing.
- 14:16Speaker 2: So this attack on Venezuela has everyone soiling themselves, saying, oh.
- 14:23Speaker 1: My god, what are you doing? What's going to happen next?
- 14:28Speaker 2: Well, I mean Venezuela such that it is has a constitution,
- 14:32Speaker 2: So the vice president has taken over. But let's go
- 14:38Speaker 2: back and set the because people, because of the way
- 14:42Speaker 2: the news media covers President Trump, and here in Charlottesville, Virginia,
- 14:48Speaker 2: where this show flags from, we're particularly sensitive to making
- 14:57Speaker 2: sure that the president is well, you know, taken in
- 15:05Speaker 2: his correct contact because you know, we remember he said this.
- 15:15Speaker 1: But you also had people that were.
- 15:19Speaker 17: Very fine people on both sides.
- 15:22Speaker 2: Which I can bear testimony was true. Nobody else will listen.
- 15:29Speaker 2: And I've had arguments with people who have told me
- 15:32Speaker 2: I don't know what was going on in.
- 15:34Speaker 1: Charlottesville that day despite being here.
- 15:43Speaker 2: But let's just lay out the timeline, and I want
- 15:45Speaker 2: to get to your thoughts as well. But the timeline
- 15:49Speaker 2: begins with President Trump saying that all this fentanyl is
- 15:52Speaker 2: being made and other drugs in Venezuela and declared them
- 15:58Speaker 2: weapons of mass destruction to the hundreds of thousands of
- 16:01Speaker 2: Americans that die at the hands of these drugs each
- 16:05Speaker 2: day each year. I mean, so the President then says
- 16:13Speaker 2: to Venezuela stop making the stuff. Venezuela says, are you crazy?
- 16:18Speaker 1: Wow?
- 16:19Speaker 2: Words to that effect sounded nicer in Spanish. And so
- 16:25Speaker 2: we've gone back and forth. We've hit some boats full
- 16:29Speaker 2: of drugs, everyone loses again some bowel control over it,
- 16:34Speaker 2: and then nothing ever is made of it because Venezuela
- 16:37Speaker 2: is sort of like, well, yeah, they were full of drugs,
- 16:39Speaker 2: so we're really not happy with it, but yeah, they
- 16:43Speaker 2: were full of drugs.
- 16:47Speaker 1: And then we hit.
- 16:48Speaker 2: A dock last week where the boats were loaded, and
- 16:54Speaker 2: from what I understand, these strikes are in command and
- 16:58Speaker 2: control centers of the drug trade coming out of Venezuela,
- 17:03Speaker 2: during which I told Special operations forces showed up at
- 17:09Speaker 2: the President's home and said, you're coming with us, sir. Now,
- 17:13Speaker 2: was it an arrest? President Trump used the word captured.
- 17:16Speaker 2: Other people are reporting that he asked for asylum.
- 17:21Speaker 1: Well, stay tuned.
- 17:23Speaker 2: I think in about four hours and a half, President
- 17:26Speaker 2: Trump's supposed to be making an address live to the country,
- 17:31Speaker 2: and thank goodness, it'll give us something to talk about
- 17:33Speaker 2: other than Chevy Chase. Four three four eight A two
- 17:37Speaker 2: four to two one seven is our number. And if
- 17:39Speaker 2: nothing else happens in the news, can we please just
- 17:41Speaker 2: use the news as a reason to stop sharing videos
- 17:45Speaker 2: of Chevy Chase. That's all I ask. Good morning, who's this?
- 17:49Speaker 18: Good morning? This is Moscow?
- 17:51Speaker 2: Bob, Hey, Bob? How is this playing in Moscow? Knowing
- 17:54Speaker 2: that they're somewhat friendly to the Maduro administration, let's just
- 17:59Speaker 2: call it that.
- 18:02Speaker 18: Well, it's interesting he was basically arrested through the help
- 18:09Speaker 18: of insiders of the wealthy class.
- 18:14Speaker 2: So there were people in Venezuela, natives who took help
- 18:19Speaker 2: them get to the presidential palace.
- 18:23Speaker 18: I believe maybe he wasn't even at the presidential palace,
- 18:26Speaker 18: that he was someplace with these very wealthy business people
- 18:32Speaker 18: and they're the ones that had set this up.
- 18:35Speaker 2: So this was like, this was like an intervention when
- 18:38Speaker 2: all your friends invite you over and you think you're
- 18:41Speaker 2: going to a football party, but you wind up in
- 18:43Speaker 2: an intervention because they think you're killing yourself.
- 18:48Speaker 18: That's what the understanding is here, because I don't think
- 18:54Speaker 18: he was at the palace or his residency when this happened,
- 18:58Speaker 18: because it was that if it would have been that way,
- 19:01Speaker 18: then the military or there have been more resistance. Resistance
- 19:07Speaker 18: that's interesting went by two facts, and that's what they're saying.
- 19:11Speaker 18: So my curiosity who's going to be when the United
- 19:17Speaker 18: States gets the person they want in charge, who's going
- 19:20Speaker 18: to be the wealthy people that are going to be
- 19:23Speaker 18: taking over the oil industry from Venezuela. And those will
- 19:27Speaker 18: be the ones, you know, most likely the ones that
- 19:29Speaker 18: we're involved in turning the girl over well.
- 19:33Speaker 2: And I think it's important for people in and around
- 19:36Speaker 2: the Venezuelan support group to note that there were still
- 19:39Speaker 2: very wealthy people, which I have said time and time
- 19:41Speaker 2: again is exactly how these Marxists work. They tell, they
- 19:45Speaker 2: tell the very very wealthy people support me, and I'll
- 19:48Speaker 2: make sure you never lose your money again.
- 19:51Speaker 1: Uh. And then they go and they.
- 19:53Speaker 2: Demonize the middle class, the business owners as quote, the
- 19:58Speaker 2: wealthy to get the poor to riot against them. This
- 20:00Speaker 2: is what. And Maduro was just the caddy for who
- 20:03Speaker 2: Goes Chavez and Chaves just you know, left too soon after,
- 20:09Speaker 2: you know, exchanging autographs with Barack Obama. And it was funny,
- 20:14Speaker 2: you know, General Flynn gets you know, hung out to
- 20:16Speaker 2: drive for talking to a leader of a foreign country
- 20:20Speaker 2: before taking office, and Barack Obama flew to Caracas to
- 20:24Speaker 2: exchange autographed biographies with Who Goes Chaves?
- 20:30Speaker 1: And nobody better than I about that.
- 20:33Speaker 18: And my question is is who's going to be next?
- 20:41Speaker 1: How do you mean Iran?
- 20:42Speaker 18: The next? Is Iran? Give to the next country go into?
- 20:46Speaker 18: Because you know they're saying the same things they said
- 20:52Speaker 18: about Venezuela. Are they going to go into Iran if
- 20:56Speaker 18: they start, you know, since they're killing innocent people, is
- 21:00Speaker 18: the same aspect that to happen in Iran?
- 21:03Speaker 2: I don't know, I think you know, and I know
- 21:06Speaker 2: they're saying that we're supporting it. And it's US in
- 21:09Speaker 2: Israel or causing the riots, but it's their currency, and
- 21:12Speaker 2: maybe their case is made that we we have through
- 21:16Speaker 2: sanctions made their currency.
- 21:18Speaker 1: Crap and I have a fall.
- 21:22Speaker 2: But you know, with the theocracy, it's different because you know,
- 21:24Speaker 2: we watched this, how long did Iatola Komane live in
- 21:29Speaker 2: exile in Paris until the Shah had worn out his
- 21:33Speaker 2: welcome because he didn't have any mandate from the people
- 21:37Speaker 2: to be there either, And that's the worry of state craft.

- 24:31Speaker 7: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 7: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:42Speaker 7: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 24:45Speaker 7: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

- 28:00Speaker 2: Yeh first thing today by Joe Thomas this morning, uh
- 28:43Speaker 2: and apologies for that. As we track the breaking news
- 28:48Speaker 2: out of Venezuela of the capture of Nicholas Maduro, it's
- 28:53Speaker 2: important also to roll back a little bit of the
- 28:59Speaker 2: clock on the Maria Karna Machado. The question is does
- 29:06Speaker 2: she return having been in the election against Maduro in
- 29:10Speaker 2: the most recent one, she has popular support in Venezuela.
- 29:23Speaker 2: The regime blocked her candidacy despite having as they as
- 29:28Speaker 2: they do it, and I think let's step back even further,
- 29:33Speaker 2: so who goes Chavez? Like communist dictators do, won an
- 29:38Speaker 2: election much like the ones Zoran Mamdani won in New York,
- 29:45Speaker 2: and then that was the last one they really had.
- 29:47Speaker 1: After that, oh, they.
- 29:49Speaker 2: Held them and after exchanging love letters with Barack Obama
- 29:56Speaker 2: started to do things like wage and price control. So
- 30:00Speaker 2: he began. His first step was mandating everyone get paid
- 30:07Speaker 2: higher wages in Venezuela. And so after he did that,
- 30:15Speaker 2: and all the business owners who were forced to pay
- 30:18Speaker 2: higher wages said, hang on a second here, we're going
- 30:23Speaker 2: to need to charge more for our staff. He said, no, no, no,
- 30:29Speaker 2: you're not. Because the people who were given higher wages
- 30:33Speaker 2: turned to President President Chavez and said, but everything costs more.
- 30:42Speaker 2: Now you gave us more money, and everything costs more.
- 30:46Speaker 2: We got a bunch of folks online, Hang on the
- 30:47Speaker 2: line here one second. We've got folks ahead of you too,
- 30:50Speaker 2: so just to hang on the line. So after everyone protested,
- 30:55Speaker 2: saying hold it. You know, you gave us higher wages,
- 30:57Speaker 2: but everything went up in price, he mad data. All
- 31:00Speaker 2: the prices go down, and businesses just started closing, including
- 31:05Speaker 2: you know as mundane businesses like grocery stores, which led
- 31:12Speaker 2: to food riots, which led to a dictatorial crackdown on
- 31:17Speaker 2: protest and speaking out because people on the streets, much
- 31:21Speaker 2: like they are in Tehran, were on the streets rioting
- 31:24Speaker 2: because there was no food, and the president started arresting
- 31:29Speaker 2: people who didn't provide food.
- 31:32Speaker 1: So if you were a grocer.
- 31:35Speaker 2: And you closed your grocery store because you couldn't afford
- 31:38Speaker 2: to sell groceries anymore, under his regime, he was just
- 31:42Speaker 2: going to arrestue. He seized the property, had government run
- 31:46Speaker 2: grocery stores, just like well, that sounds really familiar for
- 31:50Speaker 2: our friends in the New York metropolitan area, doesn't it.
- 31:55Speaker 2: And then after his passage, his vice president, Nicholas Doro
- 32:00Speaker 2: took over and all of this, all of this funded
- 32:05Speaker 2: through the drug trade. Venezuela had become quite the.
- 32:11Speaker 1: Import export king.
- 32:12Speaker 2: Let's just call it that anyway, Like I said, lots
- 32:16Speaker 2: of folks with words to share with us, and let
- 32:18Speaker 2: me get to them first at four three, four eight
- 32:20Speaker 2: eight two four two one seven, with a little of
- 32:23Speaker 2: the backstory out there for your pipes to smoke.
- 32:26Speaker 1: Good morning, who's this?
- 32:28Speaker 16: Good morning, Judge Joel?
- 32:29Speaker 1: Hey Joel, how are you doing this Saturday morning?
- 32:32Speaker 16: I'm okay. I'm actually in a pool right now, swimming.
- 32:35Speaker 1: All right.
- 32:36Speaker 2: That's more information than we needed, but you know, I
- 32:38Speaker 2: think I think I'm doing all right.
- 32:40Speaker 1: It would have been sufficient, but thanks for sharing.
- 32:43Speaker 16: Anyway.
- 32:43Speaker 22: I guess the speedboats are going to be less expensive now.
- 32:47Speaker 2: And n Isuella well, you know, and where is where
- 32:53Speaker 2: is Virginia Senator Mark Warner? I expect some YouTube video
- 32:57Speaker 2: of him saying the president he campaigned on making things
- 33:02Speaker 2: more affordable for Americans and would this fendal prices have
- 33:05Speaker 2: gone through the roof, hitting the poorest Americans or just
- 33:08Speaker 2: looking to get there?
- 33:09Speaker 1: They're high on you.
- 33:10Speaker 22: Know, and it's hard to believe he's on an intelligence committee.
- 33:15Speaker 16: But anyway, I wanted to say this.
- 33:17Speaker 22: I think it's more than just getting the door and
- 33:20Speaker 22: his wife, and I'm sure they got some of the
- 33:22Speaker 22: military people out of there too. It's to secure our
- 33:27Speaker 22: our western border there. Because first of all, if you
- 33:32Speaker 22: remember early part of this part of President Trump's presidency
- 33:37Speaker 22: is he he went back and resecured.
- 33:40Speaker 16: Panama, you know, the Panama Canal.
- 33:42Speaker 22: Yeah, because the Chinese, Because the Chinese were doing a
- 33:45Speaker 22: bunch of stuff with.
- 33:46Speaker 1: That, right.
- 33:47Speaker 16: Yeah.
- 33:47Speaker 2: So now a venture capital firm that is based in
- 33:50Speaker 2: China runs it instead.
- 33:52Speaker 1: But that's neither here nor.
- 33:53Speaker 2: There, or is it anyway, So we didn't get operations
- 33:58Speaker 2: for it.
- 33:58Speaker 16: Then I'm I'm wrong on that. I don't know.
- 34:01Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, it's an American company with its major
- 34:06Speaker 2: base of operations in Beijing because they had to, because
- 34:09Speaker 2: they wanted to operate in Beijing, and therefore they had to.
- 34:15Speaker 1: They have it sports fans, but anyway, you know, and the.
- 34:19Speaker 22: Other thing too is they've been cutting off the supply, right,
- 34:22Speaker 22: They've been gathering information for months since what early September,
- 34:27Speaker 22: end of August, and logistically they're not only getting things
- 34:31Speaker 22: about that done as well, they're getting you know, security
- 34:36Speaker 22: and information on China, Russia, and Cuba. And I'm kind
- 34:42Speaker 22: of curious. I know Russia has a lot of control
- 34:44Speaker 22: over Cuba, but they're also going to take control of
- 34:47Speaker 22: the oil too, and and you know of what American
- 34:51Speaker 22: used to own in that, and they can cut off
- 34:54Speaker 22: supplies and make it harder for China at other places.
- 34:57Speaker 2: And I'm not I don't want to pick on the
- 35:00Speaker 2: on this, but I want to be pedantic on it
- 35:02Speaker 2: because because of these authoritarian regimes that do own the
- 35:07Speaker 2: resources in their land and do own all the means
- 35:10Speaker 2: of production, America doesn't own anyone's oil. There are American
- 35:16Speaker 2: companies that own oil fields that drill for oil, but
- 35:20Speaker 2: the country doesn't. Venezuela, on the other hand, does own
- 35:25Speaker 2: their own oil fields. That was part of Hugo Chavez's
- 35:28Speaker 2: first move was to nationalize all the oil fields. Venezuela is,
- 35:34Speaker 2: by some people's estimation, the most natural resource rich country
- 35:41Speaker 2: in South America, and yet it is a completely bankrupt mess,
- 35:46Speaker 2: apparently except for these wealthy people who Nicholas Maduro was
- 35:50Speaker 2: hanging out with last night. But the people are poverty stricken.
- 35:57Speaker 2: And that's just a shame in a country with such
- 36:00Speaker 2: natural resources.
- 36:01Speaker 1: But it's what happens when you get your communism on.
- 36:05Speaker 22: And the other thing too is uh, look at I
- 36:09Speaker 22: know that's gonna sound kind off center but look at Ukraine, right,
- 36:12Speaker 22: They're they're rich in resources too, and we're going we
- 36:16Speaker 22: were made agreements to go in and get those special.
- 36:20Speaker 16: Minerals that we need, you know, for those right.
- 36:23Speaker 22: And I wonder if that's why Russia keeps continually trying
- 36:27Speaker 22: to push more on the land so we can't get
- 36:29Speaker 22: our foothold in there either.
- 36:31Speaker 2: Well, No, it's absolutely over the natural resources in this
- 36:34Speaker 2: particular case, the uh, the rare earth minerals. That's that's
- 36:40Speaker 2: without question. You know, you you you you've hit the
- 36:43Speaker 2: nail on the bean. Uh, there is that. It's about resources.
- 36:47Speaker 2: It always is. Every invasion is about getting somebody else's stuff.
- 36:53Speaker 2: And and I don't see, here's the thing that I'm
- 36:57Speaker 2: I'm looking at in this is not just Venezuela. And
- 37:01Speaker 2: it needs to be about the Venezuelan people. And I
- 37:04Speaker 2: hope ms Machado comes back, but they neighbor Colombia, which
- 37:10Speaker 2: is really I mean, the Colombia makes more than Venezuela.
- 37:15Speaker 2: Venezuela is the shipping port for a lot of the
- 37:18Speaker 2: Colombian drugs as well, and and Cuba being right across
- 37:24Speaker 2: the river basically from Venezuela, there's there's a whole little
- 37:30Speaker 2: triangle of Marxist dictatorship, supported by Russia, UH, supported by Iran,
- 37:36Speaker 2: and all part of this brick economy that I think
- 37:40Speaker 2: is as much a part of this as anything else.
- 37:44Speaker 22: I agree with you. And the other thing too, is
- 37:47Speaker 22: talking about Colombia. They're more on the Pacific side of
- 37:51Speaker 22: you know, the waterway there, and Venezuela is more on
- 37:54Speaker 22: the Atlantic side.
- 37:55Speaker 1: Right well, yeah, Colombia's right there.
- 37:58Speaker 22: Yeah, we've been battling both sides with the illegal.

- 44:21Speaker 10: I Raan.
- 44:25Speaker 2: Jason texted, said you gotta you gotta for the Ayatola
- 44:30Speaker 2: a rock and roll. He goes on to ask, how
- 44:36Speaker 2: come all these other presidents have avoided doing these things?
- 44:43Speaker 2: Is Trump right or wrong? Were they all wrong? Were
- 44:46Speaker 2: they all addled? This has been going on for years.
- 44:52Speaker 2: Why are we the first ones to try to do
- 44:55Speaker 2: something about it?
- 44:57Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 44:58Speaker 2: I think some of it, Jason, is that politicians like
- 45:01Speaker 2: to use phrases like war and then when actual war happens,
- 45:07Speaker 2: they soil themselves. Just my personal viewpoint of it, and
- 45:13Speaker 2: it's part of the Constitution, and the reason congress people
- 45:17Speaker 2: were supposed to have some say over this is it
- 45:19Speaker 2: was their constituents children that We're going to be going
- 45:23Speaker 2: off to war, so they ostensibly.
- 45:25Speaker 1: Should have some say about it.
- 45:27Speaker 2: I was warned to not drink any of our first
- 45:31Speaker 2: free in the morning coffee while chatting with doctor Clarke
- 45:34Speaker 2: here on the line. So I have cleared my palette.
- 45:39Speaker 2: We are in a safe zone, a splash free zone.
- 45:42Speaker 1: Uh so say, and I won't spray. How are you
- 45:46Speaker 1: doing this morning? I'm all good boys, more's this morning.
- 45:51Speaker 23: So I'm listening to the show while I'm making my arteries,
- 45:55Speaker 23: make gases and moscow. Bob posed question, who's next?
- 46:02Speaker 1: Now, Joe, You've.
- 46:04Speaker 23: Made Ted's Day a weekly part of the show.
- 46:08Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's great.
- 46:11Speaker 23: Donald needs to make fool around and find out Fridays
- 46:17Speaker 23: a great weekly thing. This week, fool around and find
- 46:21Speaker 23: out Friday. Nicholas Maduro was the object of the exercise.
- 46:26Speaker 23: Nick was flooding the United States the drugs. One asked
- 46:29Speaker 23: to stop, He said no. Nicholas was flooding the United
- 46:33Speaker 23: States with refugees.
- 46:35Speaker 16: One asked to stop, He said no. Then Nicholas was cutting.
- 46:40Speaker 23: Deal China for military aid, cutting deals with Iran to
- 46:45Speaker 23: help finance their regime. And he fooled around and found out.
- 46:49Speaker 23: Now Nicholas is in the custody of the United States
- 46:52Speaker 23: Special Operation Forces and likely on his way to a
- 46:56Speaker 23: tropical vaca at Gittmo Bay. Are you not here in
- 47:01Speaker 23: word lord exterminating Christians? Maybe you could be the next
- 47:05Speaker 23: object of the exercise on fluel around and find out Friday.
- 47:10Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, good stuff.
- 47:13Speaker 2: It's like, you know, if only Chuck Barriss was still
- 47:15Speaker 2: alive to host the game show, because that would be
- 47:19Speaker 2: And of course, you know, thanks to Elvin Bishop, we
- 47:24Speaker 2: have the perfect theme song, a full of fool around
- 47:32Speaker 2: and fell in a hole, is what he did. Elvin
- 47:34Speaker 2: will have to re record that, or maybe we'll get
- 47:37Speaker 2: ted to re record it just to make it fit.
- 47:42Speaker 23: I guess he found out.
- 47:44Speaker 2: Yes he did, Yes, he did so, so, I mean,
- 47:46Speaker 2: you know, and it's not always the same. In each
- 47:50Speaker 2: instance is different. But President Trump had made it clear
- 47:53Speaker 2: for eleven months now that he wanted the drug trade
- 47:57Speaker 2: to stop. He wanted the drug manufactor suring to stop.
- 48:01Speaker 2: And uh, maybe these leaders just figured it was like
- 48:07Speaker 2: the Bush administration with the Clinton administration, where oh, okay,
- 48:11Speaker 2: you're going to sanction us, We'll just go get our
- 48:13Speaker 2: money from somewhere else.
- 48:17Speaker 23: So I believe it was Eddie Murphy, Reggie what was
- 48:21Speaker 23: Reggie's name in trading places?
- 48:24Speaker 16: I can't think of it.
- 48:26Speaker 7: But anyway, when.
- 48:33Speaker 23: Right and Eddie Murphy, we're going to get back at
- 48:35Speaker 23: the brothers, Yeah, Eddie said, it occurred to him the
- 48:39Speaker 23: best way to get back at rich folks is to
- 48:41Speaker 23: make them poor folks. And probably the best way to
- 48:48Speaker 23: discourage dictators from taking actions against the United States is
- 48:53Speaker 23: to have them lose their country.
- 48:56Speaker 2: Well or you know, and this is an interesting sidebar
- 48:59Speaker 2: to this, and and I'm poking on. I'm seeing some
- 49:01Speaker 2: reportage on the fact that Maduro was at a big fundraiser,
- 49:06Speaker 2: I guess, or a party with the wealthy of Venezuela,
- 49:09Speaker 2: which I think everyone in Venezuela should hear about.
- 49:12Speaker 1: Hold it. There were a whole bunch.
- 49:13Speaker 2: Of really, really uber wealthy people who were rubbing elbows
- 49:17Speaker 2: with old Nikki and the misses, And I think that
- 49:21Speaker 2: alone is a bad look for a dictator for life.
- 49:26Speaker 1: But could it be.
- 49:29Speaker 2: That these wealthy Venezuelans had a lot of real in
- 49:35Speaker 2: their bank account and that now that that has cratered
- 49:38Speaker 2: to point one value of a dollar that they they've well,
- 49:46Speaker 2: it was the phrasing the dark Knight. Everyone who's wallet
- 49:50Speaker 2: just got a little bit lighter is going to be
- 49:52Speaker 2: coming for you.
- 49:53Speaker 1: Uh.
- 49:54Speaker 2: Maybe that's what happened, is that they realized, hold it,
- 49:56Speaker 2: all those real that we're holding because of Iran, Yeah,
- 50:02Speaker 2: I might as well wipe my ass with it.
- 50:06Speaker 23: Well, you kind of got a wonder if it's not
- 50:08Speaker 23: sort of kind of like college football and Nicholas wasn't
- 50:12Speaker 23: predation and they fired the.
- 50:13Speaker 2: Head coach or went to the transfer portal. Now is
- 50:18Speaker 2: what is the authority?
- 50:23Speaker 1: What does.
- 50:24Speaker 2: And we don't know anything about this vice president woman,
- 50:27Speaker 2: but she's out there saying I want proof of life.
- 50:30Speaker 2: Notice how she didn't say we want him back.
- 50:35Speaker 23: I guess we need to get a picture of today's
- 50:37Speaker 23: newspaper with Maduro home.
- 50:41Speaker 2: But I just think it's interesting that she didn't demand
- 50:45Speaker 2: him back. She didn't say we want our dear leader back.
- 50:50Speaker 2: She said, we just want proof that he's still alive.
- 50:53Speaker 1: Huh. That's a weird way to put it.
- 50:56Speaker 2: I mean, I get it, you know, you maybe you're
- 50:58Speaker 2: you're going to negotiate for his release, a nice place
- 51:02Speaker 2: in the villages or something like that, maybe a convenience
- 51:05Speaker 2: store to run for the last few days, you know,
- 51:08Speaker 2: years of his life. But does this Maria not Camacho?
- 51:17Speaker 2: Uh Machado, thank you, I knew it was a boxer's name.
- 51:23Speaker 1: Does Ms Machado come back?
- 51:25Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot of folks who say, you
- 51:27Speaker 2: think Donald Trump's experienced election fraud?
- 51:30Speaker 1: You should you see what's happened to Ms Machado.
- 51:33Speaker 16: All right, all right, I.
- 51:35Speaker 23: Think we need we need to do some distinctions here, Joe.
- 51:41Speaker 23: There might be what she's asked for and then what
- 51:44Speaker 23: she wants.
- 51:44Speaker 1: Okay, okay, meaning the vice president might have.
- 51:48Speaker 23: Asked for proof line, but what she wants is some
- 51:50Speaker 23: like DNA evidence that you got the right course.
- 51:56Speaker 2: Well, you know, you know, accidents happen. Ask the family
- 52:00Speaker 2: of Osama Bin Laden.
- 52:01Speaker 1: Oops. Yeah, or rabbit.
- 52:06Speaker 23: Did Breyer Rabbit really want to get thrown at.
- 52:08Speaker 16: The Ryer Patch Show?
- 52:10Speaker 1: I don't think so.
- 52:11Speaker 16: No, he did it.
- 52:13Speaker 23: You know, does she really want proof of life?
- 52:16Speaker 1: I don't know about.
- 52:17Speaker 2: That's me not good to be the king, as mel
- 52:21Speaker 2: Brooks once taught us. Anyway, sir, you have a wonderful Saturday,
- 52:25Speaker 2: and we will talk to you again on Monday.
- 52:27Speaker 23: I will find out next week who's going to be
- 52:30Speaker 23: the object of the exercise on the flood around and
- 52:32Speaker 23: find out Florda.
- 52:34Speaker 2: That's right, the new contest at sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue.
