Speaker 1: Fiant.
0:02
Speaker 2: I'm more megan now make America great again than I've
0:07
Speaker 2: ever been.
0:07
Speaker 1: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
0:11
Speaker 1: Media Network by Joe.
0:13
Speaker 3: Tellmas, Thank you for letting us be of service to you.
0:38
Speaker 3: This morning, a Tedsday is dawned across your radio dial.
0:45
Speaker 3: That's the day we celebrate your inner tedness, the things
0:49
Speaker 3: you're good at. Like Nancy Pelosi, she's really good at
0:53
Speaker 3: making money with her investments. How does she do it?
0:56
Speaker 3: I'm sure it is just an instinct, right, And all
1:01
Speaker 3: those politicians, here's to you, real men and women of
1:05
Speaker 3: greatness can make so much money knowing what will and
1:09
Speaker 3: won't be regulated in or out of existence. This morning,
1:14
Speaker 3: this text message, we're talking about fraud. This story out
1:18
Speaker 3: of Florida. The corrupt politician who is skimming money is
1:23
Speaker 3: going to be replaced by somebody whose daughters skim money.
1:26
Speaker 3: And it goes on and on. The amassment of capital
1:30
Speaker 3: within the government, writes Tom is always the problem. We
1:38
Speaker 3: demand that somebody else take care of things for us,
1:42
Speaker 3: and then we walk away and never oversee them. How
1:46
Speaker 3: many companies suffer the same corruption where somebody winds up
1:50
Speaker 3: dipping their beak into the company inkwell, like the use
1:55
Speaker 3: of the arcane language there too, dipping or beak into
2:00
Speaker 3: the company ink well, I think I had to do
2:03
Speaker 3: with dalliances with coworkers. But regardless, you're talking about taking
2:09
Speaker 3: a little sum something for yourself, a little extra manually
2:14
Speaker 3: generated compensation. Just talk about it, just a DIY bonus program.
2:22
Speaker 3: And you know, we shrug about some of the smaller ones, like, oh, listen,
2:26
Speaker 3: if you ask me how my business is, I can
2:29
Speaker 3: write this lunch off, or I can have my company
2:34
Speaker 3: pay for it. I can pay for it with the
2:35
Speaker 3: company credit card instead of my private one. Just just
2:39
Speaker 3: ask me about the new product line we're rolling out,
2:42
Speaker 3: and then I can say it was a business lunch.
2:45
Speaker 3: That's the that's one end of the spectrum. And we
2:48
Speaker 3: shrug and like, ah, that's what is it. But it grows.
2:52
Speaker 3: It is it is the same kind of corruption that
2:57
Speaker 3: you see manifest in hundreds of millions of dollars disappearing
3:01
Speaker 3: from medicaid funds. Ask Tim Walls, he'll tell you four
3:08
Speaker 3: three four eight eight two four two one seven. After
3:10
Speaker 3: we finished telling you what went on last night or
3:13
Speaker 3: what didn't go on last night. As in the second time,
3:17
Speaker 3: the Persian residents would have been bombed into oblivion, although
3:24
Speaker 3: I don't think Keengis Khan used bombs, but seem to
3:28
Speaker 3: have the same kind of effect. You want to talk
3:30
Speaker 3: about shock and awe. But at the eleventh hour, Iran,
3:37
Speaker 3: along with the United States and Israel, have all reached
3:40
Speaker 3: a two week cease fire deal. Questions emerged over what
3:43
Speaker 3: appeared to be dueling proposals to halt the battles and
3:48
Speaker 3: the incoming missiles and get the straight of Hormuz reopening.
3:54
Speaker 3: Iran insists that would still charge tolls to passing ships,
3:58
Speaker 3: and Trump then suggests that American warships would be hanging around.
4:04
Speaker 3: We don't know who the deal was cut with, because
4:06
Speaker 3: a story in the London Times says Mojatpa Khameni is
4:13
Speaker 3: in a coma or at least in long term unconsciousness,
4:19
Speaker 3: and does not participate in decision making for the Iranian regime.
4:23
Speaker 3: The memo reportedly places Kamenie in calm center of Sharia
4:29
Speaker 3: of Shia Islam in Iran, where he is said to
4:34
Speaker 3: be unconscious and under medical care. Oil prices on the
4:39
Speaker 3: news of the ceasefire dropped fifteen percent, and futures for
4:44
Speaker 3: the s and P five hundred and the Dow Jones
4:47
Speaker 3: Industrial Index both came up about two percentage points. Clay
4:53
Speaker 3: Fuller is the new congressman from Northwest Georgia, including her
4:57
Speaker 3: fine affiliate down there in Dalton, Georgia as Marjorie Taylor
5:02
Speaker 3: Green's former representation has been filled by this Republican who
5:07
Speaker 3: was endorsed by Donald Trump. Eric Swalwell not endorsed by
5:12
Speaker 3: Donald Trump, but he kicked off a campaign for California
5:16
Speaker 3: governor in just a couple of weeks. Mail out ballots
5:20
Speaker 3: will be sent to Californians for the June second primary.
5:25
Speaker 3: He was questioned after the event in Sacramento about social
5:30
Speaker 3: media reports of inappropriate behavior quote unquote with female staffers.
5:35
Speaker 3: He called them false, saying there had never been an
5:38
Speaker 3: allegation and there's never been a settlement. Interesting legally phrased statements.
5:46
Speaker 3: And Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen said Tuesday customs
5:50
Speaker 3: officials could stop processoring international travelers at major US airports
5:57
Speaker 3: inside sanctuary cities. First Thing Today by Joe Thomas, supported

Speaker 8: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
8:07
Speaker 8: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
8:13
Speaker 8: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
8:18
Speaker 8: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
8:22
Speaker 8: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
8:26
Speaker 8: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
8:32
Speaker 8: The Mayo Clinic found that Kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
8:37
Speaker 8: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
8:42
Speaker 8: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
8:46
Speaker 8: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
8:51
Speaker 8: healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

9:58
Speaker 6: Hiryboddy, I'm Jack. It's always a boy growing up on
10:01
Speaker 6: a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm
10:04
Speaker 6: not only in awe of their beauty and kindness, but
10:06
Speaker 6: also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds
10:09
Speaker 6: who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes who
10:13
Speaker 6: work hard to provide for their young, or penguins who
10:15
Speaker 6: travel up to five hundred miles to secure food for
10:18
Speaker 6: their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows them
10:21
Speaker 6: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
10:24
Speaker 6: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
10:27
Speaker 6: the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets at home,
10:30
Speaker 6: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life
10:33
Speaker 6: saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports.
10:36
Speaker 6: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
10:39
Speaker 6: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
10:42
Speaker 6: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
10:44
Speaker 6: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
10:47
Speaker 6: in need. So please join me an American humane and
10:50
Speaker 6: supporting our heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals

11:10
Speaker 9: heart and brain.
11:12
Speaker 3: Who's with me?

Speaker 14: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
11:26
Speaker 4: Who did you know that more than half our household
11:31
Speaker 4: energy costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't
11:35
Speaker 4: just good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
11:39
Speaker 4: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home

13:21
Speaker 1: Here in the First Thing Today by Joe Thomas, how.
13:24
Speaker 11: That in.
13:49
Speaker 5: The Iapella good News, the Isela good news he got
13:53
Speaker 5: to meet his seventy two versions.
13:56
Speaker 4: The bad news is all of them are Nick Fuentes.
14:00
Speaker 3: Four three four eight A two four to two one seven.
14:03
Speaker 3: Who's in charge? As I said, you know it's it's
14:08
Speaker 3: hard to fathom. You know, a secret group of people
14:11
Speaker 3: like the Council of Experts, knowingly pick someone who's adult,
14:18
Speaker 3: who's injured, whose deficits in cognitive ability leave them completely
14:26
Speaker 3: in charge, while poortending that, uh, this dear leader had
14:31
Speaker 3: been chosen by them to serve the people of their country.
14:38
Speaker 3: That could never happen in a well, I mean, it
14:41
Speaker 3: couldn't happen anymore. Caught on to that, Charles picks up
14:46
Speaker 3: on the humor in such a thing and suggests that
14:51
Speaker 3: Joe Biden sent him his auto pen. See that's what
14:56
Speaker 3: you need in Iran. You need better technology, You need
14:58
Speaker 3: the auto pen. If you we're going to have this
15:00
Speaker 3: secret group like the Council of Experts, actually running the country.
15:04
Speaker 3: But at some point the guy they said is in
15:07
Speaker 3: charge is probably going to need to sign something, so
15:11
Speaker 3: you just get the auto pen to do it. That's
15:13
Speaker 3: how we did it when for four years we had
15:15
Speaker 3: somebody that was in at very least some sort of
15:18
Speaker 3: medically induced coma and a council of quote unquote experts
15:25
Speaker 3: were behind the scenes running the country for him. There
15:30
Speaker 3: we were talking about the gas prices, and Kareem had
15:33
Speaker 3: asked earlier, earlier on about you know, he views gas
15:38
Speaker 3: prices as continuing on an upward spiral for the foreseeable future.
15:45
Speaker 3: And it doesn't have to do with drill, baby drill.
15:47
Speaker 3: It has to do with refined, baby refine. Just a
15:50
Speaker 3: quick glance at ten of the top oil refining countries,
15:57
Speaker 3: and with all those refineries down on the Gulf Us,
16:00
Speaker 3: not one there. It's not in the top ten here Singapore, Mexico, Spain, Italy, Canada, Germany, Brazil, Iran,
16:16
Speaker 3: I guess up till now. Although Trump has stood in
16:19
Speaker 3: the way of destroying a lot of that stuff. He
16:21
Speaker 3: said he would, but he didn't. Saudi Arabia, Japan ironically
16:29
Speaker 3: one of the top ten oil refining countries, South Korea, India, Russia, China,
16:46
Speaker 3: and you know, yes, the United States does refine, but
16:49
Speaker 3: it's poultry compared to some of the other countries. It's
16:57
Speaker 3: seventeen point nine to four million bounrels of crew oil
17:00
Speaker 3: process daily, accounting for roughly twenty percent of the total
17:06
Speaker 3: refining capacity of the world. But not all for US.
17:11
Speaker 3: We refine for our allies who can't get oil from
17:17
Speaker 3: Iran or Saudi Arabia, Places like Israel, Israel runs on
17:22
Speaker 3: diesel fuels, but are they buying it from an Iranian
17:26
Speaker 3: oil refinery? I think not. Saudi Arabia, I think not.
17:32
Speaker 3: So A lot of what we do when it comes
17:34
Speaker 3: to oil and natural gas production and in including gasoline refinement,
17:42
Speaker 3: isn't staying here. Is meant to go to places like
17:46
Speaker 3: Germany and England and Japan, and in some cases, for
17:53
Speaker 3: Japan's case, they refine it themselves, but will send them
17:56
Speaker 3: the raw product. But it's the regulations that squeeze out
18:04
Speaker 3: all of the uh manufacturing of this, as we see
18:09
Speaker 3: with all these things, including the regional greenhouse gas initiative
18:13
Speaker 3: driving up electric bills. And we were just covering the
18:18
Speaker 3: story yesterday of you know, the hero, the darling of
18:22
Speaker 3: the Democratic Party, Abigail Spanberger, falling on hard times when
18:26
Speaker 3: it comes to popularity because she's gone after all this
18:30
Speaker 3: stuff full bore, hasn't even played cutesy with it going
18:36
Speaker 3: into the you know, and then the utilities go and
18:40
Speaker 3: say we want to raise our rates, and then everyone
18:42
Speaker 3: points at the data centers and says must be their fault,
18:46
Speaker 3: and it's not good. One of You're on the air
18:48
Speaker 3: with Joe first thing this morning, who's this.
18:51
Speaker 11: Good morning, Joe? Just your fun Joe.
18:55
Speaker 3: So you're in a chipper mood, George, or maybe I
19:00
Speaker 3: just feel like you should be in a chipper but
19:02
Speaker 3: something you know, with a chipper in it. What's going
19:07
Speaker 3: on in your dirigible? You must be sad about the
19:10
Speaker 3: ceasefire in the Middle East.
19:13
Speaker 17: To the contrary, I'm here in down Pound Dohacata, I'm on.
19:18
Speaker 11: Taro Pharma and on Dore. Proud that I was able
19:21
Speaker 11: to play a small role in helping to negotiate this
19:25
Speaker 11: peace agreement.
19:26
Speaker 3: You were in, George sorows No, surely.
19:29
Speaker 11: Absolutely absolutely.
19:32
Speaker 17: I spoke my phone with mister Kunk and we agreed
19:36
Speaker 17: that he would hold up on this as long as I.
19:38
Speaker 11: Agreed to get the teachers'.
19:40
Speaker 17: Unions to not donate ninety nine point ninety eight percent
19:44
Speaker 17: of their political donations only to Democrats.
19:47
Speaker 11: Now they're only going to donate ninety five percent to Democrats.
19:52
Speaker 17: They're going to redirect five percent to congressional Republicans who
19:57
Speaker 17: are in the.
19:57
Speaker 11: Race for the midterms at everything.
20:00
Speaker 3: Okay, so you gave up five percent of the money
20:04
Speaker 3: for the teachers union. How did you get Randy Weingarten
20:07
Speaker 3: to give up five percent of her money.
20:11
Speaker 11: A certain illicit substance. John, he calls into Devil's lettice.
20:19
Speaker 17: I provided her with an ex for special important variant
20:24
Speaker 17: of that, and she is so happy now that she said, okay,
20:28
Speaker 17: please give up five percent.
20:29
Speaker 3: Oh wow. I knew vaping in schools would start trouble,
20:32
Speaker 3: but I didn't realize it had reached all the way
20:34
Speaker 3: to the directorate of the Teachers Union. So so you
20:38
Speaker 3: broke her this compromise. You you had the teachers Union
20:41
Speaker 3: give up five percent of the money going to Democrats
20:45
Speaker 3: in exchange for the ceasefire in the Middle East. And
20:50
Speaker 3: you talked to Donald Trump directly about that.
20:53
Speaker 11: Oh. Absolutely, we talk all the time.
20:56
Speaker 5: You know.
20:57
Speaker 17: It's like, well, for what federation rest, like the guys
21:01
Speaker 17: are going, the guys you will And as soon as
21:04
Speaker 17: the cameras are turned off, they're off drinking.
21:07
Speaker 11: So you know, it's it's sad for television. It's for
21:11
Speaker 11: the cameras. Oh, I see.
21:12
Speaker 3: So so you're Randy Savage to President Trump's Hulk Cogan
21:18
Speaker 3: something like that.
21:19
Speaker 11: But I have a bigger plane.
21:21
Speaker 3: Oh you have the bigger we have you and the dirigible.
21:24
Speaker 3: Don't forget the dirigible. Well, It's good to hear from you, George.
21:27
Speaker 3: I'm glad that you played a part in the ceasefire.
21:30
Speaker 5: Uh.
21:31
Speaker 3: And I don't know how much that's gonna help Republicans,
21:33
Speaker 3: but hey, five percents better than zero percent.
21:37
Speaker 11: You'll have a sub statement.
21:39

28:35
Speaker 3: In the body family. And so instead's the welcome. Nathan
28:48
Speaker 3: Wooster Nathan from the Epic Times, where he covers our
28:54
Speaker 3: Congress and our Washington mismanagements there and serve ives and
29:00
Speaker 3: lives to tell the tale, and probably should write a
29:03
Speaker 3: book on how he can decompress after spending a day
29:05
Speaker 3: trying to figure out what's going on up there. Nathan,
29:08
Speaker 3: how are you doing this morning?
29:11
Speaker 1: Doing well?
29:12
Speaker 2: They're on recess, so no, no necessity decompression at the moment.
29:17
Speaker 3: Do you keep it, keep tabs on them as they
29:20
Speaker 3: scatter to the four winds and appear at the opening
29:24
Speaker 3: of every envelope so that they can make some statement,
29:26
Speaker 3: because it sure looks like, especially the leftists out of Congress,
29:31
Speaker 3: the press loves to follow them around to get a
29:34
Speaker 3: comment about stuff they have nothing to say anything about,
29:37
Speaker 3: but they'll they'll go on for ten minutes about it.
29:42
Speaker 2: You know, it's been a quiet period over the past
29:45
Speaker 2: few days. I think the Senate was kind of chastened
29:49
Speaker 2: after the House didn't take up its plan on DHS,
29:52
Speaker 2: the one that would fund everything except for ice and
29:54
Speaker 2: border patrol. But we're yeah, we're now seeing I think
29:59
Speaker 2: the the call before the storm really starting once the
30:03
Speaker 2: Congress actually gets back in session, and at that point
30:07
Speaker 2: it should be very interesting. They'll be navigating everything from
30:10
Speaker 2: DHS to what's happening with Iran in the ceasefire.
30:14
Speaker 3: So yesterday the President took some Fox News hosts to
30:18
Speaker 3: task over their coverage of the Save America Act, And
30:25
Speaker 3: it seems like this is such a great powerable in
30:29
Speaker 3: how the American left isn't a partisan organization. They infest
30:35
Speaker 3: both sides because something as simple as this has all
30:39
Speaker 3: these people lined up on the right to avoid supporting
30:45
Speaker 3: it as much as the Democrats are all aligned against it.
30:48
Speaker 3: Why is that from where you said? What are you hearing?
30:51
Speaker 3: What is their reasoning for this? Is it just because
30:54
Speaker 3: they like the office?
30:58
Speaker 2: No. I think that when it comes down to it,
31:01
Speaker 2: the Senate is a pretty risk averse body. I think
31:05
Speaker 2: that we've seen from Leader John Thune a pretty consistent
31:09
Speaker 2: pattern of putting the things that are really easy to
31:13
Speaker 2: sell within the Senate to the Senate, things like, for example,
31:19
Speaker 2: this housing bill that came up in March before they
31:22
Speaker 2: spent a few weeks on the Save America Act, but
31:25
Speaker 2: of course they spent that time.
31:27
Speaker 3: To debating it, and there were some votes, but there.
31:31
Speaker 2: Was nothing to force the issue of the filibuster, no
31:34
Speaker 2: attempt to do what many activists wanted, the talking filibuster,
31:38
Speaker 2: as they call, which is just the old school mister
31:40
Speaker 2: Smith goes to Washington exercise and everybody just talking until
31:44
Speaker 2: they drop or until people make some sort of a deal.
31:48
Speaker 2: So I think a lot of Americans, a lot of
31:51
Speaker 2: people on the right, especially, they look at no action
31:55
Speaker 2: happening there, despite the fact that President Trump has said
31:57
Speaker 2: it's a priority, and it's easy to to wonder is
32:01
Speaker 2: anything going to happen with this? Certainly, you know, if
32:03
Speaker 2: you look at what some of the senators some of
32:06
Speaker 2: the representatives have been saying, I'm not seeing a lot
32:09
Speaker 2: of expectation that we're going to have anything happen with
32:12
Speaker 2: Save America at this point because of the fact that
32:15
Speaker 2: it's obviously not despite the kind of performative debate that
32:18
Speaker 2: we saw, there's very little indication that it's going to be,
32:22
Speaker 2: for example, an issue in negotiating an end to DHS.
32:26
Speaker 2: Zune and Johnson came out with their deal, which again
32:29
Speaker 2: was not taken up, and so it doesn't seem like
32:33
Speaker 2: there's a lot of leverage for doing much on Save America.
32:36
Speaker 3: So is there because there have been some allegations out
32:39
Speaker 3: of some of the senators that there's more in here
32:42
Speaker 3: than just making sure that only American citizens are on
32:47
Speaker 3: the role. And having been catfished by the people who
32:49
Speaker 3: wanted us to sign into the ERIC software, and we
32:53
Speaker 3: realized fairly quickly how much of an abomination that was
32:58
Speaker 3: and a gift to the leftists to use it to
33:01
Speaker 3: find the eligible but unregistered voters. I am cautious about
33:07
Speaker 3: some of these plans. Is there something in the Save
33:10
Speaker 3: America Act that could backfire on conservatives?
33:16
Speaker 2: Well, it should be interesting to see, for example, if
33:19
Speaker 2: we get to the point where there's a serious effort
33:22
Speaker 2: to amend it again. On the issue of voters who,
33:27
Speaker 2: in the case of some women, have gotten married and
33:30
Speaker 2: changed their names, there's been a lot of discussion of that.
33:33
Speaker 2: My understanding is that they did revise an earlier version
33:37
Speaker 2: of the bill to be able to make it easier
33:40
Speaker 2: for women in that situation to have their name change reflected,
33:45
Speaker 2: make that process of being able to prove their citizenship
33:50
Speaker 2: a little bit easier. On the other hand, it's possible
33:52
Speaker 2: that additional documents could be furnished in some new version
33:59
Speaker 2: of the bill and that would be even easier. At
34:02
Speaker 2: this point, I think there are questions, but for the
34:06
Speaker 2: most part, it does, at least in the core version
34:09
Speaker 2: that I've had a look at, does seem fairly straightforward.
34:13
Speaker 2: Citizenship for voting when you when you actually register to vote,
34:17
Speaker 2: and then photo id fairly broad category of photo IDs
34:21
Speaker 2: when you go in and cast a ballot.
34:23
Speaker 3: Hey, Nathan Wooster is on with us from epic times.
34:26
Speaker 3: Where was this righteous indignation about women and their maiden
34:31
Speaker 3: names when we were all herded into real ID Because
34:34
Speaker 3: I went through it, my wife had to prove that
34:37
Speaker 3: she was still you know, the name on her birth certificate,
34:41
Speaker 3: even though we had a marriage certificate. We had to
34:43
Speaker 3: go find it, go bring it, go show it to
34:46
Speaker 3: the people in the real ID world. And it really
34:48
Speaker 3: set us back doing that. But I didn't hear anyone saying, oh,
34:51
Speaker 3: this is this is sexist, this is making women prove
34:55
Speaker 3: go to the extra step. So where was the righteous
34:58
Speaker 3: indignation when we were all heard it into real idea
35:01
Speaker 3: about women and their married names.
35:06
Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's even deeper than that, because, yeah,
35:08
Speaker 2: the sort of women who's actually gone through the trouble
35:11
Speaker 2: of legally changing their name, they're generally going to have
35:14
Speaker 2: to put together all that material, and especially if they've
35:18
Speaker 2: just recently gotten a real idea, Yeah, they'll have that material.
35:21
Speaker 2: So a lot of this talk about logistics, about the
35:25
Speaker 2: fact that it's also challenging to provide just photo I
35:29
Speaker 2: D for example, when voting. And one interesting thing is
35:32
Speaker 2: that you have had Schumer come out and suggest recently
35:35
Speaker 2: that Oh, Democrats are okay with photo I D for voting,
35:37
Speaker 2: but the version of this in say America is unacceptable
35:41
Speaker 2: to them, which.
35:42
Speaker 11: Again kind of raises the question why exactly was this.
35:45
Speaker 2: Not a priority right until it became a priority, right
35:49
Speaker 2: until it became obvious that in polling, for example, Brikans
35:54
Speaker 2: widely support some version of photo ID. So you're seeing
35:57
Speaker 2: a lot of triangulation, I think, especially in these issues
36:00
Speaker 2: that are so broadly popular, despite the fact that the Congress,
36:03
Speaker 2: even a lot of Republicans have been unwilling or unable
36:07
Speaker 2: to take action on them.
36:09
Speaker 3: Nathan, Here, in our flagship state of Virginia, we just
36:11
Speaker 3: watched a woman get elected governor with a huge majority
36:16
Speaker 3: of votes and has already burned through all of that
36:20
Speaker 3: and has fallen to I think fifteen points in popularity
36:26
Speaker 3: over turning tail on campaign promises and being hypocritical in
36:32
Speaker 3: things that she had said when she was in Congress
36:35
Speaker 3: Abigail Spanberger was speaking of and then people catching on
36:40
Speaker 3: to it. When people like Chuck Schumer and all these
36:43
Speaker 3: folks speak eloquently about citizenship back in the nineties and
36:48
Speaker 3: the early two thousands, how is this not hanging around
36:52
Speaker 3: their neck like an albatross. We play the clips, it's
36:56
Speaker 3: not like they're hidden there, and if you search them
37:00
Speaker 3: on YouTube you'll find Chuck Schumer and Barack Obama and
37:03
Speaker 3: all these folks talking about you know, Bill Clinton. I mean,
37:06
Speaker 3: it made it an entire State of the Union address
37:09
Speaker 3: segment there, and yet now they've completely turned one point
37:13
Speaker 3: eighty on the idea. Why is this not damaging the
37:19
Speaker 3: Congressional Democrats' approval ratings as such as they are over
37:25
Speaker 3: this hypocrisy in the same way that it seems to
37:28
Speaker 3: have crushed Abigail Spanberger's popularity.
37:34
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's a good question, and maybe a
37:36
Speaker 2: lot of it comes down to the fact that there's
37:39
Speaker 2: a tension to save America on the right. For sure,
37:42
Speaker 2: a lot of conservatives care about it. But you know,
37:44
Speaker 2: broadly speaking, I don't know if it's gotten as much
37:46
Speaker 2: attention as the war, for example, issues that dominate the
37:51
Speaker 2: headlines to a greater extent. Maybe that could be part
37:54
Speaker 2: of it. And maybe there's just the expectation that politicians
37:57
Speaker 2: can always say that they've evolved in some way.
38:00
Speaker 11: That's it.
38:01
Speaker 10: In twenty twenty four, the American Heart Association celebrates one
38:05
Speaker 10: hundred years of life saving service as the world's leading
38:08
Speaker 10: nonprofit organization focused on heart and brain health. Heart disease
38:12
Speaker 10: still kills more people in the United States each year
38:14
Speaker 10: than all types of cancer combined, but more than half
38:17
Speaker 10: of Americans are unaware of this fact, according to a
38:20
Speaker 10: recent Harris Pole survey conducted for the American Heart Association. However,
38:25
Speaker 10: the majority of heart disease is preventable. New research has
38:28
Speaker 10: improved the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of heart disease and
38:32
Speaker 10: its risk factors. Efforts led by the American Heart Association
38:35
Speaker 10: have reduced deaths from heart disease by half over the
38:38
Speaker 10: past century and helped people with heart disease live longer
38:41
Speaker 10: and more productive lives while managing their condition and risk factors.

Speaker 12: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
41:22
Speaker 12: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two

44:15
Speaker 1: we might post it to your grinder profile. First thing
44:18
Speaker 1: today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Madia.
44:30
Speaker 3: You know Ted, Ted likes to call it wango tango.
44:35
Speaker 3: I prefer calling it engaging in Congress, And it's with
44:40
Speaker 3: that in mind on this Ted's day as we ramp
44:43
Speaker 3: towards our finale that Nathan Wooster are on with us
44:49
Speaker 3: covering Congress, reporting on it, hopefully not having to watch
44:54
Speaker 3: too much of it happen in the room there, Eric Swallwell, notwithstanding,
45:00
Speaker 3: we were talking about the Save America Act, but there's
45:03
Speaker 3: more going on as we engage in Congress, even while
45:07
Speaker 3: in recess, Nathan, so aside from the Save America Act,
45:12
Speaker 3: even covering that, talk about.
45:16
Speaker 5: You know, the.
45:18
Speaker 3: The DHS deal and what it's done, because now I'm
45:23
Speaker 3: hearing that Jim Jordan may challenge Mike Johnson for Speaker
45:27
Speaker 3: of the House over some of these things. It's it's
45:31
Speaker 3: been a Congress that couldn't get out of its own
45:33
Speaker 3: way despite having majorities in both places, because the Democrats
45:40
Speaker 3: just seem better at governing from the back seat that
45:43
Speaker 3: than the Republicans are from the driver's seat.
45:49
Speaker 2: There's a lot of truth so that you had, for example,
45:52
Speaker 2: House Freedom Caucus conservative group came out against this plan,
45:56
Speaker 2: which again would be funding DHS mostly through appropriations except
46:01
Speaker 2: for those two big controversial issues Ice and border patrol,
46:06
Speaker 2: and the objections from a lot of Republicans to the
46:08
Speaker 2: planned would be okay. So if you're going to try
46:10
Speaker 2: to fund those things through reconciliation, through what would be
46:13
Speaker 2: a party line vote, you should do that now. You
46:15
Speaker 2: should not wait for that to happen later and just
46:18
Speaker 2: pass DHS funding for everything else first. So you're seeing that,
46:22
Speaker 2: you're seeing I think basically, when a lot of Republicans
46:26
Speaker 2: look at this deal, presumably a lot of Democrats too,
46:30
Speaker 2: a sense of wondering why we went through more now
46:34
Speaker 2: than fifty days of a DHS shutdown if what they've
46:37
Speaker 2: arrived at is basically the same deal that Rosa Deloro,
46:41
Speaker 2: who's the ranking member on appropriations in the House, a Democrat,
46:46
Speaker 2: what she came up with months ago, which would be
46:48
Speaker 2: to carve out these other things and fund the rest
46:50
Speaker 2: of DHS this way, this standard way through appropriations, although
46:55
Speaker 2: again she did not propose reconciliation for the other la
47:00
Speaker 2: it's still it can seem a little bit frustrating, I
47:03
Speaker 2: think for Republicans.
47:06
Speaker 3: Nathan, this is the biggest edition. This is the biggest
47:11
Speaker 3: iteration of defund the police we've seen since George Floyd
47:15
Speaker 3: first became a phrase we would become familiar with. So
47:21
Speaker 3: yet I don't see anyone who wants to reform ICE
47:26
Speaker 3: funding showing me one piece of immigration code that they
47:31
Speaker 3: want to change. So if you're saying the police are
47:34
Speaker 3: bad for enforcing laws, well, which laws are they enforcing
47:37
Speaker 3: that they shouldn't be enforcing and then work to fix those.
47:40
Speaker 3: That's the legislative process. Yet I don't hear any of
47:44
Speaker 3: that coming in this DHS shutdown debate.
47:50
Speaker 2: Well, I think the closest that you're coming to that
47:53
Speaker 2: now is this renewed push for the Act, or sometimes
47:58
Speaker 2: called the Dignidada Act, would be again another attempt at
48:01
Speaker 2: this comprehensive immigration reform.
48:04
Speaker 3: Is reminiscence of twenty.
48:05
Speaker 2: Thirteen, except now it's kind of strange seeing this bipartisan
48:09
Speaker 2: I think it is bill come out led by people
48:12
Speaker 2: like Mike Lawler when President Trump one of his signature
48:16
Speaker 2: campaign promises was to tighten up immigration enforcements, to basically
48:21
Speaker 2: change the status quo on that, And now you do
48:23
Speaker 2: have a lot of I guess one might seem moderates
48:27
Speaker 2: on the Republican side to use the kind of work
48:31
Speaker 2: they are pushing now for something that would include effectively,
48:35
Speaker 2: in at least some cases, amnesty. I think that it's
48:39
Speaker 2: going to be interesting to see what happens with what
48:42
Speaker 2: happens with voters if they see suddenly this becoming a
48:44
Speaker 2: priority for at least some Republicans when again, immigration is
48:48
Speaker 2: just one of those core issues that seems to be
48:52
Speaker 2: brought people out in twenty twenty four, the last time
48:54
Speaker 2: Republicans voted in large numbers.
48:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then I think the congressional folks looking at
48:59
Speaker 3: the midterm hope they will last question for you, Nathan,
49:02
Speaker 3: what are you working on coming in the next week
49:05
Speaker 3: for Epic Times more of this?
49:08
Speaker 2: Well, there's there's a fairmount of that, and very soon
49:12
Speaker 2: I will be going to Denmark and I should have
49:14
Speaker 2: a story coming out of there about an issue I
49:17
Speaker 2: don't think a lot of Americans are tracking, but it
49:19
Speaker 2: has to do with that country's social services system, the
49:23
Speaker 2: fact that mother's family can very easily lose their children
49:28
Speaker 2: to that system, and there's a lot of uh, there's
49:31
Speaker 2: a lot going on there.
49:33
Speaker 3: Yikes. Well, I appreciate it, Nathan. Thank you for everything
49:36
Speaker 3: you do with Epic Times, and you have a great morning,
49:39
Speaker 3: and thank you for taking a little time with us.
49:43
Speaker 2: Thank you.
49:43
Speaker 3: Joe four three four eight eight two four two one seven.
49:48
Speaker 3: So that's fascinating because we see this, We were talking
49:52
Speaker 3: about this. I was talking about this with Tony Kinnett yesterday,
49:56
Speaker 3: one of my fellows at the Daily Signal, about this bill.
50:00
Speaker 3: And we're backchecking on a couple of things as Virginia
50:04
Speaker 3: Law that was just signed by the governor that appears,
50:08
Speaker 3: And again, I'm not a jurist, I'm not a lawyer.
50:11
Speaker 3: I've spent a lot of time around lawyers. But it's
50:15
Speaker 3: an interesting bill because friends of mine have voted against it,
50:18
Speaker 3: friends of mine have voted for it, and by friends
50:20
Speaker 3: of mine, I mean people who try to legislate conservatively.
50:25
Speaker 3: So I'm concerned because as I read this, Virginia Law
50:32
Speaker 3: was house built ten seventy one. It gives the school
50:35
Speaker 3: divisions the authority to raise a red flag on a family.
50:42
Speaker 3: And I know that CPS and all these things that
50:46
Speaker 3: this is the place where if you want authoritarianism, you
50:50
Speaker 3: run in and say, but it's for the children. And
50:58
Speaker 3: I'm trying to get some doubles sourcing on it. Got
51:01
Speaker 3: friends who voted for it and voted against it, so
51:03
Speaker 3: I want to get their opinions. They've ghosted me on it,
51:07
Speaker 3: which probably means I'm close to the point on it. Eric,
51:12
Speaker 3: don't answer Joe on this one, because he's not going
51:15
Speaker 3: to like the answer and then he's just going to
51:17
Speaker 3: be insufferable about it. But I want to see what
51:21
Speaker 3: Nathan writes about this, because if they're taking kids away,
51:27
Speaker 3: how much further do we have to get till Aldus
51:31
Speaker 3: Huxley comes to true. That's brave new world. That's where
51:36
Speaker 3: you know, you birth the child, you give it to
51:38
Speaker 3: the state, and then the state raises it as its
51:45
Speaker 3: own and you just get some soma out of the deal.
51:52
Speaker 3: And so I'm curious to see where that story goes
51:56
Speaker 3: and the ceasefire is held so far, Murphy, still working
52:01
Speaker 3: as a US senator from Tehran, apparently has decided that
52:06
Speaker 3: Tehran is a city in Connecticut. It's going around more
52:10
Speaker 3: social media using this to campaign against Trump, and this
52:14
Speaker 3: will be and I think, believe me, Chris Murphy is
52:17
Speaker 3: as much a trial balloon as anything is out there.
52:21
Speaker 3: You're going to hear more of what Chris Murphy is
52:23
Speaker 3: talking about about how this Trump lost. Trump blinked, heck,
52:28
Speaker 3: we played to you. The KTLA anchor at the onset
52:31
Speaker 3: of the program saying that very thing that Trump lost,
52:36
Speaker 3: this ceasefire deal, not earned it. Until tomorrow, I'm Joe,
52:46
Speaker 3: so long and thanks for all the fish.
52:51
Speaker 10: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
52:53
Speaker 10: compression of spinal nerves. According to doctor Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
52:57
Speaker 10: California based chiropractor with more than three years of experience.
53:01
Speaker 10: This compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury,
53:05
Speaker 10: or simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
53:09
Speaker 10: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
53:12
Speaker 10: the neck and back. Doctor Fisher explains his inventions. The
53:16
Speaker 10: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device
53:20
Speaker 10: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
53:24
Speaker 10: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are
53:27
Speaker 10: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
53:30
Speaker 10: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
53:33
Speaker 10: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
53:36
Speaker 10: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home,
53:38
Speaker 10: and Doctor Fisher's series of YouTube videos provides helpful videos
