Speaker 1 (00:00):
Santa will be coming down your chymney.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Now.

Speaker 1 (00:03):
I have a beautiful.

Speaker 3 (00:05):
Present making mornings again. The first thing today on the
Tunk Media Networks, Thomas, I'll.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Do it lot, not call though you don't well call,
is you mean?

Speaker 4 (00:19):
Clean?

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Beautiful call? So this is Christmas.

Speaker 5 (00:25):
And what have you done?

Speaker 1 (00:34):
And you won't just be gone?

Speaker 6 (00:37):
So we were talking just before we went to the
news at the top of the hour. Merry Christmas to
you and thank you for tuning in and spending a
little time. I know, as we said earlier in the program,
you you probably fit into one of two categories. The
super Christmas person who's upright now taking a house that
looked like nothing else had changed. It was just another

(01:01):
Wednesday evening as far as the kids were concerned when
they went to bed, And it's going to be like
a Dolly Parton movie when they wake up and Christmas
tree will be up, there'll be presents under it. Oh
my gosh, that a game And I get it. My
wife's family is always like that. When we had little kids,
the presence couldn't even be wrapped until Christmas Eve. And

(01:28):
so you know, maybe that's why you're up this hour
of the morning. Maybe you're not Christmas guy right now,
and maybe you have to work. Maybe you just feel
like Christmas isn't your thing this year and you're looking
for something to do. I hear you there too, and
you know, both need attention and both have different things,

(01:51):
which makes you know it important that we keep an
open mind and an open ear for each other because
of the trouble with this. You know, a holiday season
is everything becomes super focused on that and we forget
sometimes that people don't know the whole holiday situation there.

(02:12):
I want to get back into the war versus terror
thing that we were doing before the top of the hour.
But you know, we had an amazing week. Our friends
at jcsgold dot com, jcsgold dot com, the people I say,
you know you should talk to about gold and silver investing.
We watched silver fly past seventy dollars an ounce, so
I figured we'd have a chance to sit here and say, oh,

(02:34):
look at this. We were right seventy hours. It just said,
you don't know what, We're not stopping for seventy We're
going to go right past that. Holy moly, that's amazing.

Speaker 7 (02:46):
You know that's just earlier this year, gold was you know,
in the in the twenty dollars range and in the
thirty dollars range, and here we are over one hundred percent.
Uh you know, increase in value here with been one
year for silver. This is what clients have been dreaming
about for decades, honestly, so it's really crazy to see

(03:08):
silver move this way. It really just goes to show,
you know, how silver is used industrially. It's used in
data centers and microchips and solar panels and electric cars,
and it's used up in all this technological growth.

Speaker 6 (03:23):
And that's the key of it is it's not just
a precious metal, it's a durable good as well. Find
out about gold or silver investing currently hitting gold is
asking forty four seventy nine and fifty eight cents forty
four one hundred and seventy nine dollars. Silver is it's
seventy one dollars ninety two cents. Announced didn't even stick

(03:45):
around at seventy. It's like, let's see how close eighty
is now that we're up here, Let's see how much
further we can go before twenty twenty five. Sign a
die and we have to wrap things around it. So
the jc S goal dot com and visit with them.
There are first things on this Christmas Day. President Trump,

(04:10):
in his Christmas greeting on Truth Social Road, Merry Christmas
to all, including the radical left scum that is doing
everything possible to destroy our country, but our failing badly.
The Americans were pulled by the Daily Mail newspaper to
see which of the White House decor they preferred, and

(04:30):
by a two to one margin, it was Milania Trump's
White House decor over Jill Biden or Michelle Obama. A
man in Arkansas or a person in Arkansas has a
ticket that has earned them eight hundred and thirty four
point nine million dollars winning the one point eight one
seven billion dollar jackpot. Do the math. The winning numbers,

(04:56):
in case you're checking it were four, twenty five, thirty one,
fifty two, fifty nine and the red powerball was nineteen.
Justice Samuel Alito penned the descending opinion in the Supreme
Court's Descent Tuesday, or he was the descent on Tuesday's

(05:17):
ruling that block President Trump from deploying the National Guard
to Chicago. Whatever one may think about the current administration's
enforcement of the immigration laws or the way ICE has
conducted its operations. The protection of federal officers from potential
lethal attacks should not be thwarted. Two people were injured

(05:40):
in an attack on ICE officers when a van in
Maryland was stopped on Christmas Eve and started driving towards
the officers. Police alleged the driver attempted to run the
agents over, prompting the agents to open fire on the vehicle,
which drove off the road. Justice Department is asking for
a few more weeks to release the remainder of its

(06:02):
Jeffrey Epstein records, saying that they've discovered more than a
million potentially relevant documents, further delaying compliance in Toto with
the congressional insistence that they release it. Eleven Democrats and
a Republican told Acting Inspector Don Berthom in a letter
that victims quote deserve full disclosure and peace of mind

(06:27):
in an independent audit of these files. A man accused
of the man accused of shooting two National Guard soldiers
near the White House has been charged in a complaint
with federal firearms charges in connection and moving the court
into superior court to the district court so that he

(06:47):
could face the death penalty in the death and murder
of Sarah Bestrom, Us attorney Janine Piro said yesterday, and
those are our first things for this Christmas morning. Thanks
for joining Yes.

Speaker 8 (07:01):
For veterans concerned about their alcohol or drug use, seeking
help can be the first step toward recovery. Doctor Joseph Liberto,
national Mental Health Director for Substance Use Disorders with the
US Department of Veterans Affairs, has more.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
May is Mental Health Month and VA is committed to
letting every veteran know that help is available. Substance use
disorder can harm your physical and mental health, but it
can be treated. There are thousands of veterans in.

Speaker 8 (07:29):
Recovery VAS today I Am campaign highlights real stories from
veterans describing how treatment, support and resources help them improve
their mental health and their lives.

Speaker 4 (07:42):

throughout the country. We also offer telehealth services. A better
fuller life is possible today. You can start on a
path toward recovery.

Speaker 9 (08:04):
Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or

(08:26):
reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

(08:51):
healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we
help you to look good, feel good, and enjoy total wellness.

Speaker 10 (09:02):
I'm Andrew Saul, Commission of Self Security. I'm here to
warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
are not from US. Real solid security employees will never

(09:26):
threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
call like this, hang up. Never give the call of
your personal information like your solid security number or bank account.
Or send money in any form cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law

(09:46):
enforcement on the Office of the Inspector General at OIG
dot SSA dot gov. Share this information with your friends
and family.

Speaker 11 (09:58):
Hi, everybody, I'm jackha. It's always a boy growing up
on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows

(10:21):
them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
perform life saving work every day.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Dogs keep us safe at airports.

Speaker 11 (10:36):
They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTSS.
They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
In their blood chemistry.

Speaker 11 (10:43):
Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
contribute to society and help those in need. So please
join me an American Humane and supporting our heroic working
dogs and all the amazing animals on this planet we
inhabit together.

Speaker 12 (11:00):
Brah, that's buzzed.

Speaker 6 (11:01):
Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.

Speaker 13 (11:05):
And now a speech.

Speaker 14 (11:07):
I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
art and brain.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Who's with me?

Speaker 12 (11:13):
Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed.

Speaker 5 (11:15):
And my brain is saying when it's time to go home.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
Somebody call me a ride.

Speaker 12 (11:19):
Love that guy, me too.

Speaker 15 (11:21):
Know your buzzed warning signs call for a ride when
it's time to go home.

Speaker 16 (11:25):
Buzz driving is drunk driving.

Speaker 17 (11:26):
Who did you know.

Speaker 18 (11:29):
That more than half our household energy costs go to
heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just good for the environment,
It means lower utility bills too. One way to reduce
your energy waste is a home energy assessment. Your utility
company can help, or you can learn how to do
it yourself at energysavers dot gov. That's energysavers dot gov.

(11:51):
You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
check ducks for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
new appliance. Look for the energy Star logo and read
the energy guide label. And there are day to day
things you can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and
raise it in the summer, close fireplay stampers when they're

(12:14):
not in use, and keep air filters clean. For more
tips on saving money by reducing your energy waste, check

Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer protection agency.

Speaker 19 (12:29):
As a family member or friend, you may be the
first to notice when a veteran you love has been
going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
anger could be a sign of a larger health concern,
but help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
at makethconnection dot net and learn how you can support

(12:52):
the veterans in your life. Treatment works recovery is possible.

Speaker 6 (13:33):
A mornings, whatever it winds up be. Using Christmas Eve
Morning pribs even more so for many people it's like,
oh man, I gotta get to five below. Stuff is stocking.
Just remember the stocking stuffers are different than the turkey stuffers.

(13:55):
Don't make that mistake. It's the Voice of Spirits. But
one of our favorite segments every month is to take
a look into what's going on in the world of
cancer treatment, cancer management, UVA Health. And you know, it's

(14:16):
a story that's still to this day. Twenty years ago
I met a fella came to the Charlottesville area and
there was a legend in the area. Some would say,
I have you know, been around long enough to be
considered in the same breath, But I don't think so.

Speaker 5 (14:29):
For the impert now, I want them to lose so
they can get a better draft.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Tunk Media Network,
all natural and free of artificial intelligence.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
Just be.

Speaker 6 (15:00):
With this war raging. And I received this even now.
We were talking earlier, just before we went to the
top of the hour news about the difference between jihad,
between terror and war, and that war. You know what's

(15:24):
the joke? You know, there isn't anything civil about war.
Cibil doesn't mean oh well, please you go first, Sybil
means involving civilians. And you know how I'm a bear.
And if you don't experience the program a lot, and
bless our friends and Altoona and on Long Island hearing

(15:45):
the program, I know of our Long Island friends get
a taste of this every Saturday morning. And it's not
the first Christmas I've been on the air at one
O three point nine FM on Long Island. I'm telling
you that right now to justify playing a Mariah Carey
song for you again. The the way we play with words,

(16:13):
and we're glib with words. Civil war means it's involving civilians.
It's broached that boundary where two armies would battle for
control over a region in a predefined place in that region,

(16:34):
and then once the victor was clearly decided, the vanquished
would be off with them or they would surrender and
join with the victors. And you know, our war for
independence was a battle to expel an invading army. And

(17:00):
we have to define things better, we really do. Because
people make moral equivalencies. They're like, well, you know the Americans,
they did some pretty terroristic things to the British. Yeah,
and you know what ho Chi Minh did the same
crap to US in Southeast Asia because he came to

(17:23):
the US, went to our war colleges, learned George Washington's
tactics and the tactics of the of his generals green
and said, hmm, that might work. And to be truthfully told,
Ho Chi Minh wanted to use it against the French.
The French just abandoned ship before they got a turn

(17:46):
to so we were left holding the bag in Vietnam.
But is blowing up a couple of cops walking a
beat in Moscow part of a grander battle between Russia

(18:07):
and Ukraine? Or is this a psyop to regin up
Russian civilian support for a war that has dragged on. Ah,
let's see, let's do the math. We're on four years.
That's twelve twelve hundred days. Wasn't supposed to take two weeks,

(18:32):
so a lot longer than Russians were told it was
going to take. Why Because like the English, like the
Red Coats were, they are the occupying force in someone
else's country and there's very little that will change somebody's

(18:56):
mood about fighting you then you trying to move into
their house. So the the use of this kind of
tactic in this battle with Russia. I'm not sure is

(19:22):
necessarily I know it's very quickly a point. Oh it's Ukraine. Ukraine.
Ukraine intelligence officers one story out of Moscow had it
blaming NATO on it that that US and NATO intelligence

(19:43):
officers planted the bomb. I guess that's one of the
accusations now on behalf of the Ukrainian You know, like
exactly why what does Ukraine gain from pissing off the
Russians any more than they already have more drone attacks?
Oh good, we were feeling like we were getting forgotten

(20:08):
down here. So you have to be careful on the
outside of this. And I've said this since the first
shots were fired in this A you don't get to
invade somebody else's country. B if you don't believe somebody
else's country deserves to be a country, there are courses

(20:31):
of action. C should NATO have continued to treat the
Russian state like the Soviet Union after it fell. It's
Nigel Farage and the folks who did Brexit and are
quickly quickly winning a majority in the British Parliament. By

(20:55):
the way, in case you were wondering Nigel Faraj has
said time and time again the NATO nations should have
reached out to Russia long before there even was an
independent Ukraine and said what can we do to help?

(21:19):
But instead we were so used to having them as
an enemy that we couldn't figure out a world where
we weren't fighting the Russian bear. And so there's so
many moving parts in this, but the bottom line is,
and since the earliest days of this battle, the Russian
the Ukrainian farmers defending their land with rifles that they owned.

(21:44):
If that doesn't tell you why we have a second Amendment,
I don't know what can now. Voladimir Zelenski wants to
confiscate those when they win. So I hope he finds
himself with a cold dead hands moment, not his hands
being dead, but go ahead, tried to take them.

Speaker 9 (22:03):
Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
actually three known gas is I I'm doctor Mitch, and
nitric oxide is a gas that's readily made all day
long to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood
vessel walls. By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood,

(22:26):
oxygen and nutrients to every part of your body. Both
age and poor diet can lead to a loss of
this precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
your hands and feet. Well our product, Ultimate nitric Oxide,

(22:46):
can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide.

This is absolutely quiz First Thing Today on the Talk
Media Network by Joe Thomas.

Speaker 6 (28:29):
You hear the sustain and that don't don't touch it
goes to eleven four three four eight eight two four
two one seven. That is our phone number. Emails come
into JT in the Morning Radio at gmail dot com.
This isn't the best of This wasn't recorded two weeks ago.

(28:52):
This isn't some Christmas spectacular. This is as it's happening now.
And one of the reasons if you're, you know, just
experiencing the program for the first time, one of the
reasons we don't do this. And I have some fun
with the fact that my family, Yeah, aside from my
youngest son, we're not early risers. My wife, no not,

(29:15):
We're like Jack Spratt and his wife, only instead of
fat it's sleep. She goes to bed about the same
time I get up. I mean, she's the night owl,
she's the one going through everything and trying to make
sure everything is settled in before the day ends. Me
I want to get up before everyone else did because
I want to. I want to. I want first DIBs

(29:37):
on the coffee mugs. But more over than that, if this,
if you're tuning into this program, there is an expectation.
And I'm going to circle this back to Donald Trump
and Brendan Carr or as I'm referring to them this morning,
Santa Claus and Crampas.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
Television.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
There is a license. I'll give you an example.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
I read some places that the networks were ninety seven
percent against me. I get ninety seven percent negative, and
yet I won easily won all seven spake stains popular
with won everything. And if they're ninety seven percent against,
they give you holy bed listening to oppress. I mean

(30:25):
they're getting a license. I would think maybe their license
should be taken away.

Speaker 15 (30:30):
I don't.

Speaker 6 (30:31):
They're not getting a license, mister President. And with all
due respect, we don't get a license. We have to
apply for and then be approved for it. But understand
and license is a sloppy word. And here's how it
relates to why I am here live this morning and why.
You know, there were days that I would take off

(30:54):
when we were doing music radio and things like that.
You tune into this station to hear about the news
of the day. You tune into this station to hear
about what the heck is going on. Now a full disclosure,
my flagship station is not carrying this program right now.

(31:18):
It might carry it later on today because we have
to carry a minor league football game between the Cowboys
and the Commanders, Oh contracts. But our flagship station is
in the middle of a promotional event called the thirty
six Hours of Christmas. We've got the Mormon Tabernacle Choir,

(31:38):
We've got my new partner here at the Talk Media Network,
Todd Starns. It's an amazing even and Todd's been doing
this since back when he was with Fox News. And
remember remember Todd's Christmas specials when he was on Fox News.
And if you don't know Todd Starns is and you're
you're younger, Todd Starns was Brian Killmead before Brian kill

(32:02):
Mead was. He was the guy who was the regular guy.
He was the non journey you know, he was the
agent provocateur. He was the guy out there the Man
on the Street guy, and every year he would do
this amazing TV special Christmas. I grew up an eerr,

(32:23):
everybody had a TV special. It was getting a little
pass as the Sunny and Share Christmas Special Live from Pasadena,
so even you know. But they're in between these programming segments,

(32:45):
some history programs about Christmas and Charlie Brown and the
Christmas Tree and stuff like that. A great friend of
mine that is putting together as well, that's on my
flagship station right now. Between it are news and weather
and the things that somebody in our flagship city needs

(33:06):
to know as they get up to go out this morning.
So we are serving our purpose. And this is why
it relates to what President Trump is saying. Now TV
is a little bit different, But what purpose are you serving?
And he's going at this the wrong way. See these
O and O contracts, these network O and O contracts
where the network owns I think what a CBS say

(33:28):
they owned thirty six TV stations thirty six markets. That
doesn't sound like a lot. I mean, I watch iHeartMedia
owns stations in like one hundred and fifty markets. Never
mind the billboards and the airport billboards and all the
other things they own. What is too much is what

(33:49):
is local versus independent. Mean, there are local stations with
local hosts who who are trying to comply with corporate
rules as to what they can broadcast. And local is
an important thing because where you are, I mean, it's

(34:12):
your southern California. You're flooding and there's mud slides, and
then the Santa Anas are coming back. I mean, it's
Mother Nature has opened an who unholy bag of whoop
ass on southern California. The mid Atlantic, after freezing in
single digits, is now in like close to seventy and

(34:39):
so it's more rain than it is snow at Christmas
right now, wherever you might be. But there are things
you need to know, and that's the importance of each
individual broadcaster. And we get our permit, and this is
where we get sloppy with language. And you know how
pedantic I can be. Their FCC permits not FCC licenses.

(35:08):
Licenses saying we allow you to broadcast. Permit says we
have given you a permit to use this space. It's
more like a deed because the point of the FCC
license was to protect your spectrum that's the technical phrase
for the space in the air that your TV transmission

(35:32):
goes out over or your radio broadcast goes out over.
So if you're listening to us on WGCH and Greenwich
fourteen ninety am, nobody in and around the Greenwich area
can sign a transmitter on at fourteen ninety am and
squash wgh's signal or one oh three point nine in Riverhead,

(35:56):
Long Island, where Long Island News Radio is hell, I
even know where your transmitter is. I've been to the
old drive in movie theater where your transmitter is. That
frequency is what's protected because that's your property. You have
purchased this property much in the same way I've purchased

(36:19):
the home that I live in in Virginia, and I
have a deed that the government says. You've filed this
deed with us, we've notarized it. And if anyone else
tries to claim that this is their home or use
it or your storefront isn't even a better example. So
you buy a storefront or you lease a storefront, you

(36:42):
have documents that say you've leased this storefront. Then, and
this is how they managed to close everyone's business down
during COVID because they think because they gave us the license,
because they've agreed to protect our rights to do business,

(37:02):
then they can take away those rights. And they have to,
whether it be Brendan Carr or whoever the next president's
FCC chief is, they have to be put in their
place about it. And it's about serving your customers. This
is why we're live this morning, so that I can
serve you the news that you need. That these stations

(37:22):
that are carrying us say, hey, we'd like somebody to
break down this news. And if Brendan Carr is going
after the TV networks and they what he's really doing
is he's using the TV networks as a threat to
go after podcasters and the Internet. Now, if he wants
to fix the Internet and social media, get the three

(37:42):
O two provisions taken down and let us all compete
fairly in the world of truth versus phony BOLONEI plastic banana,
good time, Charlie crap. Then we can talk about competing.
But don't you don't license.

At Hotshot Secret, we share the science behind common diesel
problems in their solutions.

Speaker 3 (38:06):
For example, diesel fuel stan levels.

Speaker 17 (38:08):

forty two to forty five. Most diesel engines operate more
efficiently with the cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one.
Treatment of hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your
seatane seven points, increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts.
Due to a cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons in
particulate matter in your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of

You were strolling along in Goodwill when just past that
mid century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them
nestled in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.

Speaker 14 (40:13):
Oh yes, yes, your favorite half breakfast pastry, half all
day dessert food made into your favorite form of ear candy.
Oh my, those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger
within you.

Speaker 16 (40:29):
Do smell that. That's the sugary center of shopping. Success
for this is goodwill. And with every item you buy,
you fund local job.

Training and more so, go forth, bring home those donut
earrings and bring home so much.

Speaker 16 (40:49):
Good to your community. Goodwill bring good home.

Speaker 13 (40:57):
Exercise is hard, so is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type two diabetes,
heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.

(41:21):
Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor,
eat better, get moving, Visit check up America dot org,

Speaker 3 (44:13):
On your to do list, Putting the radio on is
the first thing today.

Speaker 6 (44:38):
So there's a question the birthday boy, as we gather
on this Christmas morning, what was his military record? Obviously
so many people do war in his name. That's not fair,

(45:06):
is it? Because people will go to battle to defend
his honor. The Crusades were about liberating Jerusalem. Jerusalem, the
city that claims to be the home of all three
major religions on the planet, aside from the fourth Buddhism,

(45:31):
all came from the same city. Really, it's a head
of a city. And here's where I'm going to tie
the war thing in. So this proposal that Witkoff and
Rubio at al have proposed for the don Bass region
to demilitarized trade zone that would be open to all.

(45:59):
And it sounds great, and we have seen in the
moments that we were allowed to watch before the twenty
twenty election was yeah, and well that's a hot mess too.
Now Rafsenberger is out there saying, oh, no, no, the
ballots were signed. It was the tapes that weren't signed

(46:21):
at you know. And then so it's just election officials
in a hectic time forgetting to sign off that they
had checked the tapes that they were accurate. Oh okay,
because that made it better. Again, it goes back under
the folder of insufficient to change the election results. Hmm okay.

(46:46):
So you say that's your story and you're sticking to it.
It took Rafsenberger what a week and a half to
come up with that. How many lawyers did he have
to run that by before they said yeah, yeah, I
think I think we're protected on that one. You can
say that. But when the Abraham Accords first went into

(47:12):
a fact, I mean, this was stunning because it isolated Iran,
who was trying to create jihad in between Arab nations
in Israel, and so I think that there's a gravitas
there for this Abraham to electric boogaloo that we're working

(47:35):
off of in this ceasefire air quotes in between Israel
and Hamas, while Israel kind of goes after Syria more again,
promoters sponsors. But watch this and this might actually come

(47:57):
to pass faster than anything else. Is Is this the
Trump manifesto? Is the Trump manifesto creating little free zones,
little Americas, if you will, governed by a constitution ish

(48:22):
document that dictates what is and isn't allowed. Worry devil's
in the details. But these economic free zones that the
president has suggested. He also suggested one over the disputed
areas of Israel and Gaza, mostly Gaza. But what if

(48:50):
Witcoff and Rubio came back to Bibi net Yahun and said,
we'd like to establish one of these zones for Jerusalem,
maybe in the third year or fourth year of the presidency,
provided the Democrats don't earn enough of a majority or

(49:11):
even close to a plurality to start impeachment proceedings, because
now they're talking about having enough votes in the House
right now to start impeaching the president, that they've finally
won over enough Republicans that they could they could call
for an impeachment hearing, even with a Republican majority. I

(49:36):
remind myself of time I was told by a political insider,
why do they do it JT? Because it works. You
say something horrible about somebody enough times, eventually people are like,
you know what, I'm not. I don't have time to
investigate whether it's all true or not. The guy's just
a pain on my ass. Let's get them out of
here so they don't have to beat him on ideas

(50:04):
or philosophies or even outcomes. Did you see the unemployment
numbers came way down? Yes? Yeah, yesterday's release of the
unemployment numbers plummeted. If you can get the cost of
fertilizer under control, we'd get the cost of groceries under control.

(50:28):
And then they have nothing left except pretending that the
economy is still bad. But if he makes it through
the midterms and gets to a third or beginning of
a fourth year, and if this don Bass region is working,
and if Gaza is working, mark my words, they're gonna

(50:52):
look at as at Jerusalem because it's such a disputed
city for that conversation. But with that in mind, on

(51:13):
this birthday of Jesus, think about how many armies he
beat and never once picked up a rifle. They didn't
exist at the time. Knocked over a few tables one
day because he got smacked in the face by how

(51:36):
corrupt the temple had become. Didn't want to create a
new church. Wanted to save the old one, kind of
like those radical conservative talk show hosts. They don't want
a new country, they want to save the old one. Right,

(52:01):
you can do it, and we all can do it
by not giving into the authoritarians, by not letting them win,
because when they win, it's by our complacency. It's by
us shrugging and saying, I don't have any fight left

(52:22):
in me. And that's the great tragedy in America and
something we need to steal ourselves. So celebrate the birth
of the man that beat armies without ever picking up
a weapon and never got at dinner. Actually he did.
I don't see any food, but he got a dinner.

(52:42):
Merry Christmas to all till tomorrow morning, So long, thanks
for all the fish.
