Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: We have had right-wing shock drops for years.
- 0:06Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 0:10Speaker 3: Joe works at a steel mill, works damn near every day.
- 0:14Speaker 4: Leaves for work.
- 0:16Speaker 5: When the sun comes up, drops the kids to school
- 0:19Speaker 5: and all the work.
- 0:21Speaker 6: Joe has everything he dreamed of, all the treasures that
- 0:24Speaker 6: he needs.
- 0:26Speaker 7: No wonder Joe's always smiling, he.
- 0:29Speaker 8: Only aims to please you.
- 0:34Speaker 9: Bless you for letting me be of service to you
- 0:36Speaker 9: this morning. Text message coming in from our friends up
- 0:43Speaker 9: in Kalispell. It says, okay, so how much is the
- 0:47Speaker 9: government giving you to spin its misinformation, Joe? See, this
- 0:52Speaker 9: is what I mean. When President Trump tells the press...
- 0:55Speaker 9: that they're going to, you know, a $ 25 million aid
- 0:59Speaker 9: package for civic engagement groups in Europe to spin conservative principles,
- 1:07Speaker 9: and $ 4 million of it is going to go to
- 1:08Speaker 9: the media. Of course, the first reaction, I'm not decrying
- 1:13Speaker 9: you out there on KGEZ. Of course, that's the implication
- 1:18Speaker 9: as well. What do you charge, Joe? You're waking up
- 1:22Speaker 9: in Daytona and popping on WROD. They get everything squared up.
- 1:27Speaker 9: I know they were having issues down there last week,
- 1:30Speaker 9: but I hope they got everything cooking with gas or
- 1:35Speaker 9: WCGO in Chicago. We get up there hearing these stories
- 1:39Speaker 9: and saying, all right, they're going to spend $ 4 billion
- 1:43Speaker 9: on conservative talk radio in Europe. How much is Joe
- 1:47Speaker 9: Thomas getting out of this administration to spin the Trumpy
- 1:52Speaker 9: Trump Trumpness? Remember, I'm the one who said I'd rather
- 1:58Speaker 9: the phrase be make Americans great again. That got some
- 2:02Speaker 9: people mad at me. Were you claiming we're not great? No,
- 2:08Speaker 9: I'm not saying that. I'm saying we could be greater.
- 2:10Speaker 9: The thing about Americanism is we're always waking up in
- 2:14Speaker 9: the morning thinking, how can I be greater than I
- 2:16Speaker 9: was yesterday? Don't you? Or has the government gaslit you
- 2:22Speaker 9: into believing that It's your lot in life. It's not
- 2:25Speaker 9: a lot, but it's a life. Do what we tell
- 2:29Speaker 9: you and we'll send the check every 15th and 30th.
- 2:34Speaker 9: Is that where you are? So we'll get back into
- 2:38Speaker 9: that story, the president torching that idea. And he's wrong.
- 2:44Speaker 9: And saving $ 25 million certainly is just a drop in
- 2:47Speaker 9: the $ 40 trillion, the country's in debt, but it's $ 25
- 2:52Speaker 9: million we don't need to spend. This one, though, coming
- 2:58Speaker 9: in from our friends down in Pascagoula. Come on, Joe,
- 3:01Speaker 9: you know he has to because the left wing is
- 3:05Speaker 9: doing the same thing. Ah, yeah, see, I appreciate you
- 3:10Speaker 9: listening to us down on the game this morning. But
- 3:13Speaker 9: that is the game, isn't it? They did it first,
- 3:15Speaker 9: so now we have to do it. And we'll get
- 3:19Speaker 9: into it. Let me lead with that story. If you're
- 3:21Speaker 9: joining us in progress, President Trump yesterday during his afternoon
- 3:25Speaker 9: sit downs with the press. And remember, they all hate
- 3:28Speaker 9: him because he's so inaccessible. Four million dollars out of
- 3:33Speaker 9: a twenty five million dollar civil society aid package going
- 3:37Speaker 9: to groups that are promoting conservative causes in the European theater.
- 3:43Speaker 9: Four million of it for media purposes. that would speak
- 3:48Speaker 9: of conservative causes. Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security here
- 3:53Speaker 9: is preparing to launch a series of voter fraud investigations
- 3:58Speaker 9: in Washington State, Wisconsin, Missouri, Georgia, California, Pennsylvania, Nevada, New York,
- 4:06Speaker 9: and Connecticut. They're expected to take investigative action, well, pretty
- 4:10Speaker 9: much starting now through mid-October. President Trump also said Monday
- 4:16Speaker 9: Congress should pass tax incentives for the entertainment industry to
- 4:20Speaker 9: keep production in the country, admitting that the reason most
- 4:24Speaker 9: Hollywood films are not made in Hollywood is the taxes.
- 4:27Speaker 9: I'm going to suggest that Republicans and Democrats get together
- 4:31Speaker 9: immediately and craft legislation to save the movie industry in America.
- 4:40Speaker 9: Treasury Secretary Scott Besant made clear to Anton Syanov, the
- 4:46Speaker 9: Russian finance minister who's in North Krakow for the G20 summit,
- 4:51Speaker 9: that there will be no aid to Russia until the
- 4:56Speaker 9: war in Ukraine ends. Is that aid for conservative media
- 5:01Speaker 9: in Russia? Such a thing? I don't know. Don't have
- 5:05Speaker 9: a food taster, all I'm saying. The president is set
- 5:09Speaker 9: to meet with U.S. oil refiners and fuel distribution network
- 5:13Speaker 9: owners today to discuss ways to get more oil into
- 5:18Speaker 9: the pipeline, pun intended, especially now in the light of
- 5:22Speaker 9: the Venezuela deal. John Roberts broke from the other conservatives
- 5:27Speaker 9: on the court in a 5-4 ruling to allow construction
- 5:30Speaker 9: to continue on the East Wing ballroom of the White
- 5:33Speaker 9: House while legal battles continue in other courts today. The
- 5:37Speaker 9: chief justice wrote the president's efforts to build the ballroom are, quote,
- 5:42Speaker 9: likely unlawful, though his conservative colleagues disagreed. And the president
- 5:49Speaker 9: said they're going to start a major expansion initiative to
- 5:54Speaker 9: lower the cost of prescription drug prices by more than
- 5:58Speaker 9: $ 600 billion. I tell you something, I haven't taken a
- 6:04Speaker 9: prescription drug in I can't remember when. I think it
- 6:07Speaker 9: was when I had my wisdom teeth pulled. Well, all right, yes,
- 6:11Speaker 9: you're right. Twelve years ago when I underwent chemotherapy, the
- 6:15Speaker 9: chemotherapy drugs were technically a prescription drug. You're right, I forgot.
- 6:20Speaker 9: Good on you for catching me. You are now the
- 6:24Speaker 9: Standards and Practices Department here by W. But our friends
- 6:29Speaker 9: out at Mesa Verde Hemp, My wife came back from
- 6:34Speaker 9: working with her mom over the past week. Mom's got dementia.
- 6:38Speaker 9: They had a fall in the bathroom, and my wife
- 6:41Speaker 9: took the brunt of it. And in stiffness and soreness,
- 6:45Speaker 9: I said, take some of the CBD oil. And she's
- 6:48Speaker 9: still sleeping right now. So whatever it is helped her
- 6:52Speaker 9: back out quite a bit, as far as I can tell.

- 7:02Speaker 10: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
- 7:05Speaker 10: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
- 7:08Speaker 11: It was MediShare that came through for us, and there
- 7:10Speaker 11: was no hassle. There was no problem.
- 7:12Speaker 10: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
- 7:16Speaker 10: of such an incredible ministry.

- 7:23Speaker 8: MediShare is a family, a group of people that stick
- 7:28Speaker 8: with you through the hardest times of your life.
- 7:31Speaker 1: MediShare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over 30 years old.
- 7:35Speaker 1: And members have shared over $ 8 billion of each other's
- 7:38Speaker 1: medical bills.
- 7:39Speaker 12: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
- 7:41Speaker 2: You can focus on supporting other people.

- 8:04Speaker 13: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
- 8:09Speaker 13: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
- 8:14Speaker 13: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
- 8:19Speaker 13: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
- 8:23Speaker 13: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
- 8:28Speaker 13: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 8:33Speaker 13: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
- 8:36Speaker 13: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
- 8:40Speaker 13: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
- 8:43Speaker 13: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,
- 8:48Speaker 13: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

- 9:34Speaker 15: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
- 9:38Speaker 15: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
- 9:42Speaker 15: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
- 9:45Speaker 15: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
- 9:50Speaker 15: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
- 9:53Speaker 15: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
- 9:57Speaker 15: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
- 10:00Speaker 15: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.

- 10:10Speaker 15: all their recommended vaccines. Now I'm urging you to speak
- 10:14Speaker 15: with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
- 10:18Speaker 15: For more information about the vaccines that are recommended for
- 10:20Speaker 15: adults and the diseases they prevent, like HPV, whooping cough, tetanus,

- 11:06Speaker 18: you recognize them?

- 11:09Speaker 1: Their age?
- 11:10Speaker 16: The way they speak?
- 11:11Speaker 17: Would you notice a 16-year-old boy who got his first job?
- 11:15Speaker 4: Not for extra spending money, but to help feed his

- 13:12Speaker 2: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
- 13:17Speaker 2: the second most famous Thomas in Charlottesville.
- 13:35Speaker 9: Or get the flock out, whatever it may be. Frank
- 13:38Speaker 9: down in Daytona reported and said, everything is good again
- 13:42Speaker 9: on our great friends down there. W R O D, uh,
- 13:46Speaker 9: hanging with us. So he said, yeah, watching this story
- 13:48Speaker 9: out of Florida, the department of transportation has blocked the
- 13:52Speaker 9: use of flock cameras on their roadways. And he was saying, um,
- 13:57Speaker 9: and I don't know if you've heard me talk about
- 13:59Speaker 9: this as a big deal here in our flagship state
- 14:01Speaker 9: as well. Uh, I agree with you, Frank. Um, This
- 14:06Speaker 9: is targeting the wrong thing. And, you know, we're making
- 14:11Speaker 9: the inanimate object guilty for what bad actors may use
- 14:17Speaker 9: it for. And I'll nuance that in a little bit there.
- 14:21Speaker 9: But I appreciate the phone call there. Walking the beach
- 14:25Speaker 9: in Daytona, which is, you know, at this hour of
- 14:28Speaker 9: the morning, that's what I'd be doing, too, if the
- 14:30Speaker 9: beach was that close by. And trust me, every now
- 14:33Speaker 9: and then it is. We're going to try to do
- 14:36Speaker 9: that Gulf swing, the Gulf of America. Who knows? Maybe
- 14:39Speaker 9: we'll get back up on Lake America as well at
- 14:42Speaker 9: some point. But we'll be back in Virginia Beach at
- 14:46Speaker 9: some point, walking the beach there. Here inland, James joins us, jcsgold.com, gold, silver.
- 14:56Speaker 9: I know Wall Street was down a little bit. because
- 14:59Speaker 9: oil snaked up some. We haven't seen the benefits of
- 15:02Speaker 9: that Venezuelan oil largesse yet on the prices. But if
- 15:08Speaker 9: Venezuela pulls out of OPEC, that's going to change the
- 15:11Speaker 9: pricing on crude oil, I think, dramatically in the world.
- 15:16Speaker 9: But gold and silver, kind of a hedge against all
- 15:20Speaker 9: of that. James, good morning, sir. How are you doing?
- 15:25Speaker 2: James?
- 15:25Speaker 9: Oh, there he is.
- 15:28Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
- 15:28Speaker 9: I lost you there, James. You were hidden under the
- 15:31Speaker 9: flock there. So what's going on?
- 15:34Speaker 12: Yeah, gold and silver stabilized yesterday, but currently so far
- 15:38Speaker 12: this morning, they are at a discount. Gold is down
- 15:41Speaker 12: about one and a half percent, down $ 65 to $ 4, 383.
- 15:43Speaker 12: Silver is down a little bit over 2% this morning
- 15:45Speaker 12: to $ 65.
- 15:45Speaker 7: 12.
- 15:45Speaker 12: So given up a decent amount of that breakout run.
- 15:56Speaker 12: We'll see if both metals can stabilize and continue the
- 16:00Speaker 12: upward trajectory here if we get stuck back in this
- 16:03Speaker 12: sideways channel. Pretty much it has to do with the
- 16:06Speaker 12: Middle East, and that's what happened all summer. Gold and
- 16:09Speaker 12: silver were stuck in the sideways channel because of all
- 16:13Speaker 12: the actions and events in the Middle East, and if
- 16:15Speaker 12: that resumes, then we might be back to that same
- 16:20Speaker 12: price action here. So keep an eye out for that.
- 16:23Speaker 12: but always you can take advantage of these discounts at jcsgold.com
- 16:27Speaker 12: to where you can buy 24-7 there to where you
- 16:31Speaker 12: can take advantage of these little dips in price, you know,
- 16:35Speaker 12: any time of the night or day.
- 16:36Speaker 9: Well, and, you know, if you've never bought before, I
- 16:40Speaker 9: suggest call after 10 a.m. to talk with them because,
- 16:44Speaker 9: you know, they can give you the advice that's well earned,
- 16:48Speaker 9: you know, and Just understanding the market and understanding this
- 16:52Speaker 9: is a family business that isn't out there. Sure, they
- 16:55Speaker 9: appreciate your business, but they're not going to upsell you
- 16:58Speaker 9: just because they need to upsell you. That's not how
- 17:01Speaker 9: you have family business around since 1961 when John Kennedy
- 17:07Speaker 9: wasn't a senator from Louisiana. It meant something else, James.
- 17:11Speaker 9: So I appreciate that advice that you make available at 434-979-COIN.
- 17:19Speaker 12: Absolutely, Joe. And there are a decent amount of high-end
- 17:25Speaker 12: collectible coins that we have there in the showroom that
- 17:27Speaker 12: have a very high premium on them. And my point
- 17:30Speaker 12: there is they're still there in the showcase. There you go.
- 17:36Speaker 12: We're not, like you said, we're not upselling and trying
- 17:38Speaker 12: to shift people to higher premium items. We really are
- 17:42Speaker 12: finding out what makes the most sense for our clients' budgets. And,
- 17:47Speaker 12: you know, we're giving them the best deal possible. So

- 18:02Speaker 9: find them online. And like I said, after 10 Eastern,
- 18:05Speaker 9: it is 434-979-COIN. You have a great morning, James.
- 18:11Speaker 12: And show you too.
- 18:13Speaker 9: You know, I'm going to tie this back. We were
- 18:16Speaker 9: having some fun. Lee....
- 18:20Speaker 2: Lee.
- 18:22Speaker 9: I forget. Margaret Mary, for all that matters. But one
- 18:25Speaker 9: of the CNN contribute babes was... Yeah, no, of course,
- 18:31Speaker 9: I'm being intentionally dismissive of her, but she got so
- 18:35Speaker 9: triggered yesterday on CNN on the Abbey Normal show that...
- 18:41Speaker 9: And it really... I had, I was watching a little bit.
- 18:44Speaker 9: This is the one that Scott Jennings, you know, made
- 18:48Speaker 9: his bones on. But it really had, I don't know
- 18:52Speaker 9: if you've ever seen the film depiction of La Cage
- 18:56Speaker 9: aux Folles called The Birdcage. There's a scene, Gene Hackman
- 19:01Speaker 9: is this anything but conservative senator, basically playing John Thune.
- 19:06Speaker 9: Is there, well, actually, no, isn't he from Kentucky or something? Ohio, right.
- 19:11Speaker 9: It's Ohio, but So he's there watching Crossfire or whatever
- 19:17Speaker 9: they depict as Crossfire complete with some young guy in
- 19:20Speaker 9: a bow tie playing the Tucker Carlson role. And they're
- 19:23Speaker 9: just yelling at each other or yelling over each other.
- 19:26Speaker 9: And he says to Diane Weist, who's still around. I mean,
- 19:31Speaker 9: you know, still, when I saw that they were doing
- 19:33Speaker 9: Practical Magic 2, I'm like, all right, well, Sandra Bullock
- 19:37Speaker 9: and company aren't, you know, spring chickens anymore. Nicole Kidman,
- 19:44Speaker 9: 60 something. Um, but there's, there's Diane Weist, Stockard Channing
- 19:51Speaker 9: back for another round.
- 19:52Speaker 18: I'm like, wow.
- 19:54Speaker 9: Um, but, uh, Diane Weist is there and he looks
- 19:56Speaker 9: at her and says, smartest thing on television. It's just
- 19:59Speaker 9: a bunch of people yelling over one another. And I
- 20:02Speaker 9: thought of that, but it all led up to this line.
- 20:07Speaker 9: You see, that's like when William Shatner walks into the
- 20:10Speaker 9: door because it didn't open on Star Trek.
- 20:12Speaker 19: We have had right wing shock jocks for years.
- 20:17Speaker 9: They were talking about Hassan Piker and she brought up
- 20:21Speaker 9: Nick Fuentes and Laura Loomer. And of course, you got
- 20:25Speaker 9: the young Turks, no young Caicos, but the young Turks.
- 20:31Speaker 9: And they're all out there trying to get attention for themselves.
- 20:34Speaker 9: I get it. I'm in the attention-getting business, too. I
- 20:39Speaker 9: do it a different way. I don't do, you know, stunts,
- 20:42Speaker 9: publicity stunts and that kind of thing. But let's take
- 20:49Speaker 9: conservative principles versus right-wingery. Right-wingery is how you wind up
- 20:54Speaker 9: with the riots in Charlottesville that we experienced. Right-wingery is...
- 21:01Speaker 9: how you wind up actually defeating conservative principles. Conservatism is
- 21:08Speaker 9: actually the absence of ideology, according to Russell Kirk. And
- 21:12Speaker 9: that's where I get my conservatism from. The original source material.
- 21:22Speaker 9: And flock cameras are just technology. This is like saying
- 21:27Speaker 9: computers or the typewriter or a firearm. is dangerous. I
- 21:37Speaker 9: imagine that Marx and Engels used some sort of writing implements.
- 21:43Speaker 9: I imagine they used printing presses. Is the printing press
- 21:46Speaker 9: evil because they used it to print the Communist Manifesto?
- 21:52Speaker 20: No.
- 21:53Speaker 9: They used it for an evil purpose, and we'll unpack
- 21:56Speaker 9: some of this. But Frank, I'm with you on flock cameras,
- 22:00Speaker 9: and they're being punished.

- 23:05Speaker 21: Medical Association. With record heat, wildfires and hurricanes forecast this summer,
- 23:11Speaker 21: how do we keep our pets safe? No matter where

- 23:30Speaker 21: Put together a pet emergency kit with several days food, medicine,
- 23:34Speaker 21: a first aid kit, and other essential items. Make sure
- 23:38Speaker 21: your pets are microchipped with updated contact information in case
- 23:41Speaker 21: you get separated. And be sure to have your pet's
- 23:44Speaker 21: vaccination and medical records plus contact info for your vet
- 23:48Speaker 21: and pharmacy. If you need help on how to prepare,
- 23:52Speaker 21: reach out to your veterinarian's office. And for more information,

- 27:28Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.
- 27:31Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
- 27:34Speaker 6: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
- 27:38Speaker 6: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,

- 28:12Speaker 2: On your to-do list, putting the radio on is the
- 28:15Speaker 2: first thing today.
- 28:19Speaker 11: There's something wrong with the world today. I don't know
- 28:23Speaker 11: what it is.
- 28:25Speaker 9: Something's wrong with our eyes.
- 28:30Speaker 26: We're seeing things in a different way.
- 28:33Speaker 11: God knows it ain't his. It sure ain't no surprise.
- 28:43Speaker 9: Thank you for letting me be your tour guide here
- 28:45Speaker 9: on The Edge at 434-882-4217. Blaming the inanimate. And, you know,
- 28:54Speaker 9: this is one of those that I hope goes down
- 28:58Speaker 9: in the annals of history as one of the reasons
- 29:02Speaker 9: to avoid pure democracy. Or as our friend Ray likes
- 29:06Speaker 9: to call it, Democrats-y. Because the more you rely on democracy,
- 29:14Speaker 9: the more conservatives wind up saying, well, okay. Because what
- 29:22Speaker 9: you do is you dumb down the electorate. Well, not
- 29:25Speaker 9: dumb down, but you drive down voter turnout. So then
- 29:29Speaker 9: pandering to the 20% that it'll take you to win
- 29:33Speaker 9: an election where 40% of us turn out is how
- 29:39Speaker 9: you move the Overton window away from where most people are.
- 29:43Speaker 9: If you sat down with 100% of all Americans and
- 29:47Speaker 9: laid out the conservative principles, gave them a copy of
- 29:50Speaker 9: Russell Kirk, not just his book, just give them a
- 29:55Speaker 9: list of 10 conservative principles by Russell Kirk. Go to kirkcenter.org
- 30:00Speaker 9: and give it a try. Download it and send it
- 30:02Speaker 9: to a friend of yours. Say, how many of these
- 30:04Speaker 9: things do you agree with? Don't put a name on
- 30:08Speaker 9: it because some people do know the name Russell Kirk.
- 30:12Speaker 9: And so just say, hey, I found this list of
- 30:14Speaker 9: 10 principles. Do you agree with most of these? And
- 30:18Speaker 9: you'll probably find that your friends, whether they vote for
- 30:22Speaker 9: Barack Obama or Donald Trump, will say, yeah, I agree
- 30:25Speaker 9: with all that stuff. Because conservatism isn't right-wingery. But on
- 30:35Speaker 9: the subject of the flock cameras and the Florida Department
- 30:38Speaker 9: of Transportation banning them, this is like the Florida Department
- 30:43Speaker 9: of Public Safety banning firearms. Because somebody did something, pardon me,
- 30:49Speaker 9: Ilhan Omar, somebody did something sometime. We love to blame
- 30:57Speaker 9: the inanimate.
- 30:58Speaker 2: You know why?
- 31:00Speaker 9: Inanimate objects don't vote. The owners of them do. And
- 31:08Speaker 9: I know this one comes in from Greeley. Listening to
- 31:17Speaker 9: us out there this morning on 1310. Come on, Joe.
- 31:23Speaker 9: Nobody would ban the use of a printing press just
- 31:26Speaker 9: because Karl Marx printed his Communist Manifesto on one. Really?
- 31:32Speaker 9: How many human beings have lost their lives under the
- 31:36Speaker 9: jackboot of communism? So would it be unfair, using the
- 31:42Speaker 9: same rhetoric of the left, to say that the printing
- 31:46Speaker 9: press has killed more people than firearms? And they all
- 31:50Speaker 9: want to ban firearms. Why don't we ban the printing press?
- 31:55Speaker 9: And so don't blame the flock camera because ill-intended, inconservative
- 32:03Speaker 9: people want to use it for, and this is what
- 32:08Speaker 9: our legal code is supposed to be about. Our legal
- 32:11Speaker 9: code is supposed to be about guardrails and what happens
- 32:14Speaker 9: when somebody violates your rights. It's not going to stop them.
- 32:19Speaker 9: People are always going to try to stop your rights.
- 32:22Speaker 9: or infringe on your rights? What are the guardrails to
- 32:27Speaker 9: punish them for it? That's the key. Make the flock cameras,
- 32:33Speaker 9: make every instance that a police officer wants to look
- 32:36Speaker 9: at a flock camera subject to a warrant. Tell me
- 32:41Speaker 9: why you need to see this flock camera. Oh, I'm
- 32:44Speaker 9: looking for this so-and-so.
- 32:46Speaker 20: Why?
- 32:46Speaker 9: Because I'm in a rush, Your Honor, I'm in a rush.
- 32:52Speaker 9: It's it's blaming the inanimate because the inanimate doesn't vote.
- 32:58Speaker 9: Just just like politicians won't protect babies, unborn babies, because
- 33:03Speaker 9: they can't vote yet. And they're going to be 18,
- 33:06Speaker 9: maybe 18 and a half years removed from ever voting anyway. Dr.
- 33:11Speaker 9: Clark is on the line with us this morning. Good morning, Clark.
- 33:13Speaker 9: What's going on?
- 33:16Speaker 26: Well, Joe, first off, I think we can all agree
- 33:19Speaker 26: that the center democracy is perfect. relegated to the anal
- 33:23Speaker 26: of history, the better.
- 33:25Speaker 9: Yes, the sooner and the further in it can be. Okay.
- 33:29Speaker 26: Yes.
- 33:30Speaker 11: So, let's see. Right-wing shock jocks.
- 33:34Speaker 10: All right.
- 33:35Speaker 11: First off, Joe, when did we get a wing?
- 33:39Speaker 9: We don't have a wing.
- 33:41Speaker 26: That suggests that there's an organization of us out here
- 33:44Speaker 26: or something. And I'm sorry, but that's just a leftist...
- 33:49Speaker 26: that they manifest to keep.
- 33:52Speaker 9: People shook up. Do you remember the old Will Rogers quote?
- 33:58Speaker 9: He was speaking of his political affiliation, but we'll amend
- 34:02Speaker 9: it for ours. We are the member of no organized
- 34:05Speaker 9: political party. We are American conservatives.
- 34:09Speaker 11: Well, pretty much. So right-wing shock jocks.
- 34:15Speaker 26: I want her to tell me about the... snake handling
- 34:19Speaker 26: Episcopalians next. Right wing shock jocks.
- 34:24Speaker 11: Come on now. So, unite the right.
- 34:28Speaker 26: You know, the Southern Poverty Law Center in the state
- 34:31Speaker 26: of Alabama, dang, just got busted for funding the Ku
- 34:36Speaker 26: Klux Klan. So, every time you hear unite the right,
- 34:41Speaker 26: you just think about that.
- 34:42Speaker 19: Yep.
- 34:43Speaker 9: Connected with them. Their transportation director, the one who told
- 34:49Speaker 9: the kid how to drive around charlottesville the one who
- 34:52Speaker 9: wound up killing uh one of the activists and running
- 34:55Speaker 9: into hundreds more yeah he was the the transportation coordinator
- 35:00Speaker 9: was paid for by the southern poverty law center hey.
- 35:04Speaker 26: The cool thing about what the sense doing right now
- 35:08Speaker 26: is somebody stated on your show in the past i
- 35:11Speaker 26: don't know year at least a couple times that um
- 35:16Speaker 26: When things have been coordinated, somebody coordinated them.
- 35:20Speaker 11: And, hey, somebody's finally looking into that. John Roberts. John Roberts.
- 35:27Speaker 26: You know, if only we had, like, a King Henry
- 35:30Speaker 26: VIII or something to ask. Can no one rid me
- 35:32Speaker 26: of this meddlesome justice?
- 35:38Speaker 11: And lastly... You said.
- 35:40Speaker 26: CCR got paid 15K for Woodstock. Let's put that in perspective, though, Joe.
- 35:47Speaker 26: That $ 15, 000 was 45,000 gallons of real gasoline, not adulterated
- 35:58Speaker 26: gasoline with ethanol in it.
- 36:00Speaker 11: They got paid $ 200, 000, Joe.
- 36:01Speaker 20: Right.
- 36:01Speaker 11: In today's dollars, sure.
- 36:02Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 36:04Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 36:07Speaker 9: But I'm just, you know, I was just making a
- 36:10Speaker 9: point about commerce. Oh, no. And Tupac and the guilty
- 36:15Speaker 9: verdict in his murder trial and how people dismiss, especially
- 36:19Speaker 9: the boomers, well, you know, back in our day, it
- 36:22Speaker 9: was just free love and the music was, you know,
- 36:26Speaker 9: they all got paid at Woodstock. Don't laugh. I mean,
- 36:29Speaker 9: the only people who didn't get paid were the Bethel
- 36:32Speaker 9: Police Department. And as far as I can tell, the
- 36:37Speaker 9: lawsuit is still pending. And now it's a class action
- 36:40Speaker 9: lawsuit because Saugerties joined in because guess what? Michael Lang
- 36:44Speaker 9: didn't pay them either for Woodstock 94. So go figure. Well, yeah,
- 36:52Speaker 9: that's it.
- 36:54Speaker 11: Keep doing it. I'll keep listening.
- 36:56Speaker 19: All right.
- 36:57Speaker 9: As long as that, I don't want to become the
- 36:58Speaker 9: metaphorical tree falling in the woods with no one there
- 37:02Speaker 9: to hear it there. Wings. This text message comes in
- 37:07Speaker 9: from Terry listening to us in Virginia. She said, doesn't
- 37:12Speaker 9: it take two wings to make a bird fly? As
- 37:16Speaker 9: far as I can tell, an eagle has two wings.
- 37:20Speaker 9: I understand that. And I don't think the phrase is
- 37:24Speaker 9: used in that intent, Terry, although I get it and
- 37:26Speaker 9: I appreciate the pedantics. The wing meaning, you know, you're
- 37:31Speaker 9: over here on that far end of the community and
- 37:35Speaker 9: they're all the way over there at the other end.
- 37:38Speaker 9: You know, it's labeling people. There was a wonderful Democrat
- 37:42Speaker 9: in Congress who used to have the expression labeled jars,
- 37:47Speaker 9: not people. He used to, believe it or not, have
- 37:51Speaker 9: a Gadsden flag hanging in his congressional office in Washington,
- 37:56Speaker 9: the Longworth office building. Gadsden Flag, Democrat.
- 38:02Speaker 23: Hi, I'm Mark Falter with the Financial Fitness Show. Have
- 38:07Speaker 23: you been keeping up on the big, beautiful bill?
- 38:12Speaker 4: If you are over.
- 38:14Speaker 23: The age of 60, everything you thought you knew about
- 38:18Speaker 23: taxes and tax preparation has just done a big shift.
- 38:23Speaker 23: So if you want to get more information about on
- 38:26Speaker 23: how the big, beautiful bill applies to you, I welcome
- 38:31Speaker 23: you to call and ask for the tax reform kit.
- 38:34Speaker 23: It's got several things in it pertaining to your taxes,
- 38:37Speaker 23: a booklet titled Take Charge of Your Taxes, tax strategies,
- 38:42Speaker 23: several things in it, 866-764-2635. Again, 866-764-2635. The Tax Reform Kit, again, 866-764-2635. Again, 866-764-2635.
- 39:04Speaker 13: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 39:08Speaker 13: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 39:14Speaker 13: I'm Dr.
- 39:14Speaker 11: Mitch.
- 39:15Speaker 13: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, Our optimized curcumin seems
- 39:21Speaker 13: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 39:25Speaker 13: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 39:29Speaker 13: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 39:33Speaker 13: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
- 39:40Speaker 13: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or at
- 39:44Speaker 13: least slow the spread of cancer and and in many instances,
- 39:48Speaker 13: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
- 39:53Speaker 13: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,

- 40:03Speaker 5: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
- 40:06Speaker 5: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
- 40:11Speaker 5: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
- 40:14Speaker 5: will be arrested, if you don't make payments or provide
- 40:17Speaker 5: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
- 40:22Speaker 5: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
- 40:26Speaker 5: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
- 40:30Speaker 5: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
- 40:34Speaker 5: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
- 40:38Speaker 5: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
- 40:43Speaker 5: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
- 40:47Speaker 5: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General at oig.ssa.gov.
- 40:54Speaker 5: Share this information with your friends and family.
- 40:59Speaker 2: Hi, everybody.
- 41:00Speaker 11: I'm Jack Hanna.
- 41:01Speaker 24: Since I was a boy growing up on a farm
- 41:02Speaker 24: in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only
- 41:06Speaker 24: in awe of their beauty and kindness, but also their
- 41:08Speaker 24: tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds who gather
- 41:11Speaker 24: supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes, who work hard
- 41:14Speaker 24: to provide for their young. Or penguins, who travel up
- 41:17Speaker 24: to 500 miles to secure food for their families. Or
- 41:20Speaker 24: bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them to navigate the
- 41:22Speaker 24: trees and the wild in search of fruit. This remarkable
- 41:25Speaker 24: work ethic is shared by our best friends, the canines.
- 41:29Speaker 24: We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home, but
- 41:31Speaker 24: because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving work
- 41:35Speaker 24: every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort
- 41:37Speaker 24: returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They work
- 41:40Speaker 24: with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in their
- 41:43Speaker 24: blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly trained

- 44:23Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 44:28Speaker 22: Said I'm going down to yesterday's farm Gonna join in
- 44:34Speaker 22: and rock.
- 44:34Speaker 11: The road there Thought you'd get.
- 44:37Speaker 10: Back to the land And set my soul.
- 44:43Speaker 9: And how much do you guys get paid for it?
- 44:47Speaker 9: And I pulled this out for Charles, who asked, you
- 44:49Speaker 9: mean the bands at Woodstock were not paid in Stardust? No, no,
- 44:55Speaker 9: they weren't. They were paid in cash money. And I
- 45:01Speaker 9: brought this up in the wake of the Tupac ruling
- 45:05Speaker 9: and how the boomer zoomers of the Woodstock generation from
- 45:11Speaker 9: assisted living facility look down their nose on rap music,
- 45:18Speaker 9: the rap industry. Because, you know, being in the grave
- 45:24Speaker 9: majority Democrats, they feel like there's an elitism to them
- 45:29Speaker 9: being Caucasian. So, well, it's their thing. And The commercialism
- 45:42Speaker 9: of rap music led to the death of Tupac or
- 45:46Speaker 9: Biggie or whoever.
- 45:48Speaker 10: Listen.
- 45:51Speaker 9: People murder each other in rock music all the time.
- 45:55Speaker 9: People murder their ex-wives, allegedly, in pro football and movies.
- 46:03Speaker 9: It's not the blame of the genre. If anything, the elites...
- 46:09Speaker 9: the 50-plus crowd that looks down their nose upon rap
- 46:13Speaker 9: music is woefully unable to even understand what's going on
- 46:20Speaker 9: around them. And no wonder you can't come up with
- 46:22Speaker 9: good public policy. I'm sorry, was that unduly harsh? I'm sorry.
- 46:27Speaker 14: Come here.
- 46:27Speaker 2: Let me give you a hug.
- 46:28Speaker 9: You big lug, yo, yo, yo, yo. All right, now
- 46:33Speaker 9: get on with it. The leftists love to decry commerce.
- 46:46Speaker 9: Pete Townsend and Roger Daltrey and Keith Moon and John
- 46:50Speaker 9: Entwistle only played Woodstock because it was a happening, man.
- 46:53Speaker 9: It was their chance to put their music out in
- 46:56Speaker 9: front of 100,000 people.
- 47:02Speaker 21: Or more.
- 47:08Speaker 9: But no, they got paid. just like all the other acts,
- 47:11Speaker 9: Joe Cocker. About the only guy who didn't get paid
- 47:14Speaker 9: at Woodstock was Wavy Gravy, and I think he made
- 47:18Speaker 9: up for it in brown acid, but that's just me. Commerce, though,
- 47:22Speaker 9: is just another inanimate object that the leftist, the Marxist,
- 47:33Speaker 9: the authoritarian wants to vilify. to make their ends. Capitalism.
- 47:45Speaker 9: We haven't had free market capitalism since I was born,
- 47:50Speaker 9: was born into the great society. And as it's grown,
- 47:54Speaker 9: it's learned how to do more and more. And this leads,
- 47:58Speaker 9: as we go back to the news of the day,
- 48:01Speaker 9: why President Trump can say, I'm going to do something
- 48:05Speaker 9: to lower the price of prescription drugs. Really, what is
- 48:08Speaker 9: it that the government can do regarding prescription drug prices?
- 48:16Speaker 9: Besides make prescription drugs less available. All these places where
- 48:25Speaker 9: they pound, you know, he said the most favored nation
- 48:28Speaker 9: deals involve 26 drug manufacturers accounting for 89% of the
- 48:34Speaker 9: branded prescription drug market. Our most favored nations discounts represent
- 48:41Speaker 9: the largest reduction in prescription drug prices in the history
- 48:45Speaker 9: of our country. So President Trump, are you admitting then
- 48:49Speaker 9: that the cost of prescription drugs in this country is
- 48:53Speaker 9: because of the federal government? Because that's what you're saying
- 49:00Speaker 9: here is that in order to lower it, you've got
- 49:02Speaker 9: the government stop doing something or to offer a package
- 49:09Speaker 9: around policies that are making things more expensive. It's the
- 49:14Speaker 9: same thing he said about Hollywood. Wants the Congress to
- 49:20Speaker 9: pass tax incentives. You know what tax incentives mean? It
- 49:25Speaker 9: means the tax code is the reason people go film
- 49:29Speaker 9: their New York street scenes in Toronto or Vancouver. I
- 49:38Speaker 9: wonder if there are tariffs on that.
- 49:41Speaker 17: Oof.
- 49:41Speaker 9: Art Carney, the prime minister of Canada, has invoked tariffs
- 49:48Speaker 9: on films. It's $ 25 for that film and plus $ 5
- 49:53Speaker 9: for the Canadian tariff because it was shot in Toronto.
- 50:00Speaker 9: But in the same breath, and I want to make
- 50:04Speaker 9: this clear because a bunch of folks have reacted to
- 50:07Speaker 9: my point about President Trump talking about $ 25 million in
- 50:12Speaker 9: American money going to, quote, civil society groups. First and foremost,
- 50:18Speaker 9: if Barack Obama had announced it, I'd be just as
- 50:20Speaker 9: bent out of shape about it. As a matter of fact,
- 50:26Speaker 9: if you go back into the archives, when we found
- 50:28Speaker 9: out that Barack Obama and Joe Biden were meddling in
- 50:31Speaker 9: the Ukrainian elections, We decried that and called it an
- 50:39Speaker 9: impeachable offense. But then, of course, then they turned around
- 50:44Speaker 9: and said, oh, hang on a second here. Let me
- 50:47Speaker 9: introduce you to Robert Mueller and Agent Strzok and Page.
- 50:52Speaker 9: And they've got a thing called Crossfire Hurricane just to
- 50:56Speaker 9: show you that we can interfere with American elections just
- 51:00Speaker 9: as well as we interfere with Ukrainian elections. So we
- 51:15Speaker 9: have to look at, you know, the federal government as
- 51:20Speaker 9: a dangerous precedent because 16th Amendment says if you don't
- 51:26Speaker 9: pay your taxes, you go to jail.
- 51:29Speaker 14: Huh.
- 51:30Speaker 9: That means the government's going to have my money no
- 51:33Speaker 9: matter what. I still maintain that I could see how
- 51:40Speaker 9: A case could get before the Supreme Court, maybe not
- 51:43Speaker 9: John Roberts, but the rest of the Supreme Court justices
- 51:46Speaker 9: would hear the fact that the 16th Amendment violates the 5th. Therefore,
- 51:55Speaker 9: and we don't have time to go into why I
- 51:56Speaker 9: think the 16th Amendment violates the 5th, but if you
- 52:00Speaker 9: violate one of the core tenets of this country, a.k.a.
- 52:04Speaker 9: the 5th Amendment, it should be illegal. Not illegal like
- 52:10Speaker 9: building the East Wing ballroom because you had to renovate
- 52:14Speaker 9: the bunker underneath the East Wing anyway. And we'll get
- 52:24Speaker 9: into John Roberts' rulings on the White House ballroom if necessary.
- 52:30Speaker 9: I still think President Trump should win over some of
- 52:33Speaker 9: the left wing and in a wink and a smirk
- 52:38Speaker 9: to American historical presidential recordings tell the nation he's calling
- 52:46Speaker 9: the ballroom the Lyndon Johnson Memorial White House ballroom.
