0:09

0:14
Speaker 1: Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
0:36
Speaker 3: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
0:40
Speaker 3: on this Tednesday morning. Along with our usual business model,
0:44
Speaker 3: which is we will tell you what went on, we'll
0:47
Speaker 3: give you our analysis of what went on, but also
0:49
Speaker 3: want to hear from you as to how it's impacting
0:52
Speaker 3: you where you are, we also take time to celebrate.
0:55
Speaker 3: And I want you to think about all the things
0:57
Speaker 3: that you are great at doing and are you applying
1:02
Speaker 3: them as voraciously as Uncle Ted applies his guitar. Playing
1:08
Speaker 3: to a grateful constituency. That grateful constituency is your ticket
1:15
Speaker 3: out of trouble because you can do as you do
1:19
Speaker 3: and as long as you're serving your community, nobody's going
1:23
Speaker 3: to get after you, and you can sleep well at night.
1:26
Speaker 3: And if you don't know what it is, it's pretty simple.
1:28
Speaker 3: I mean you just go kind of think through what
1:32
Speaker 3: it is that you love to do. What have you
1:35
Speaker 3: always loved to do? Are you the person everyone comes
1:39
Speaker 3: to to put together a party? Oh, there's there's there
1:42
Speaker 3: are jobs that are for that and it's not just
1:44
Speaker 3: party planners. Hey, we left before we get into our
1:48
Speaker 3: first things. We had Joel hanging on the line. Thank goodness.
1:51
Speaker 3: We still don't live in the minute of minute by
1:54
Speaker 3: minute cell phone rates out of Florida this morning, Joel.
1:58
Speaker 3: But what were you saying? What was your last thoughts?
2:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't, you can't tag out on that one,
2:05
Speaker 4: right that that's like a four pinner on the ground there.
2:09
Speaker 3: But I know that's what the problem is. They they
2:12
Speaker 3: want to defend the children when it's politically expedient, but
2:16
Speaker 3: when the children really need defending their crickets.
2:21
Speaker 5: And there's and there's some of the congressmen, congress women,
2:25
Speaker 5: senators that I don't care what party they are, but
2:29
Speaker 5: they have their daughters and their sons in the military.
2:33
Speaker 4: And and why aren't they crying. Why aren't they, you know,
2:36
Speaker 4: crying about talking about protecting them. And because a lot
2:41
Speaker 4: of people don't know the Coastguard is under hs I.
2:45
Speaker 4: You know, it's under it's under the Homeland Security. It's
2:49
Speaker 4: not under it's not under any other department. It's under that.
2:52
Speaker 3: Hey, you was reminded me of Tim Kaine. I don't
2:58
Speaker 3: recall Tim Kane saying anything about getting the Department of
3:01
Speaker 3: Homeland Security funded. He was busy calling for a war
3:05
Speaker 3: Powers resolution. Last time I checked. The Department of Homeland
3:08
Speaker 3: Security is working without paychecks. That can't be good in
3:12
Speaker 3: a moment like this, can it?
3:15
Speaker 6: No?
3:15
Speaker 4: I can't.
3:18
Speaker 3: Thank you, Joel. I appreciate we do have to get
3:20
Speaker 3: our first things in here. Irrelevant and this was sent
3:23
Speaker 3: to me after Kareem's text. More than one hundred and
3:28
Speaker 3: fifty accounts placed bets on an imminent strike with around
3:35
Speaker 3: According to a report in New York Times, trades on
3:39
Speaker 3: poly Market, a prediction market platform that allows users to
3:43
Speaker 3: place bets on world events and elections, drew scrutiny as
3:46
Speaker 3: more than one hundred and fifty accounts placed bets of
3:50
Speaker 3: at least one thousand dollars on whether there'd be an
3:54
Speaker 3: imminent strike on Iran. Senator Chris Murphy Connecticut rode on
4:00
Speaker 3: X it's insane. This is illegal. It's insane that this
4:05
Speaker 3: is legal. People around Trump are profiting off of war
4:10
Speaker 3: and death. Of course, he says this without any evidence
4:13
Speaker 3: as to who these people were. Texas primaries Republicans predictably
4:19
Speaker 3: heading to a runoff, As most pundons said, it would
4:23
Speaker 3: between John Cornyn and Ken Paxton. Cornyn finished while it
4:27
Speaker 3: came to ninety percent of the vote with forty two
4:30
Speaker 3: percent to Paxton's forty one percent, neither getting to fifty
4:35
Speaker 3: They will go to runoff. On May twenty sixth, James
4:39
Speaker 3: Tallerco sent a message to the squad as Jasmine Crockett
4:45
Speaker 3: fell fifty three forty five in their Democratic Party primary. Meanwhile,
4:50
Speaker 3: Congressional Republican Dan Crenshaw has lost his GOP primary in
4:56
Speaker 3: their second congressional district to Congressman two State Representative Steve Toth.
5:04
Speaker 3: Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tuesday that in the
5:07
Speaker 3: coming days, US and Israeli campaigns against Iran will intensify.
5:12
Speaker 3: Quote what you're about, what's about to happen, what you're
5:15
Speaker 3: about to see. You know, We're going to unleash Chang
5:19
Speaker 3: on these people in the next few hours a day,
5:22
Speaker 3: referring to a quote from the Bush administration, the first
5:26
Speaker 3: one joking that they would unleash the sword of Shangkai check.
5:32
Speaker 3: US military meanwhile, has destroyed so far as seventeen Iranian ships,
5:38
Speaker 3: including a submarine, and struck nearly two thousand targets in
5:42
Speaker 3: Iran in the opening phase of the attacks. The Israeli
5:46
Speaker 3: military says it hit a missile storage production plant in Isafan,
5:52
Speaker 3: and Israeli President Isaac Herzog told Newsmax Tuesday, the endgame
5:56
Speaker 3: is not dominance but peace in the Middle East. You know,
6:02
Speaker 3: he said, as the Bible says, Hi.
6:12
Speaker 7: This is Bud Foster, co host of Foster and Friends
6:15
Speaker 7: and former Virginia Tech football coach. When I brought the
6:17
Speaker 7: fame lunch pail to our team, it symbolized teamwork. The
6:20
Speaker 7: word win stood for what's important. Now, the Lunch Pail

Speaker 8: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
7:05
Speaker 8: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
7:08
Speaker 9: It was Medishare that came through for us, and there
7:10
Speaker 9: was no hassles, there was no problem.
7:12

8:04
Speaker 2: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
8:08
Speaker 6: Yes?
8:09
Speaker 2: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch and nitric
8:14
Speaker 2: Oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
8:19
Speaker 2: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
8:23
Speaker 2: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
8:28
Speaker 2: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
8:33
Speaker 2: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
8:36
Speaker 2: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
8:40
Speaker 2: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
8:43
Speaker 2: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate nitric Oxide,
8:48

9:37
Speaker 17: diseases than from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines
9:42
Speaker 17: like the one for new maccle disease can protect adults
9:44
Speaker 17: from illnesses that can cause misdays of work, hospitalization, and
9:48
Speaker 17: even death. New macaccle disease is an infection that can
9:52
Speaker 17: lead to pneumonia, meningitis, or even a severe blood infection.
9:56
Speaker 17: That's just one example of an infection that can spread
9:58
Speaker 17: from person to person. Getting vaccinated can help protect you

12:56
Speaker 3: It's on.
13:15
Speaker 1: Talk radio, just the way your mother used to make it.
13:18
Speaker 1: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
13:23
Speaker 3: Thank you letting me be of service to you. Of course,
13:29
Speaker 3: unlike the talk radio my mother used to make, there
13:32
Speaker 3: wasn't a requirement of two or three fairly large martinis beforehand.
13:37
Speaker 3: That was We talked sometimes in abstract about where I
13:40
Speaker 3: learned how to do all this, and we talk a
13:42
Speaker 3: lot about the diners of Queens, New York and you know,
13:46
Speaker 3: two three four am with all my friends and debating everything.
13:50
Speaker 3: It didn't matter whether it was engine size or automobile maker, movies, girls, politics, obviously,
13:59
Speaker 3: all of it came onto the table and it was great.
14:02
Speaker 3: I'm convinced that if I could remember any of it,
14:05
Speaker 3: we probably solved all the world's problems and we just
14:10
Speaker 3: all completely have forgotten. But my mom really started that.
14:13
Speaker 3: She would come down after you know, the evening news,
14:16
Speaker 3: and she would start arguing with me about stuff on
14:19
Speaker 3: the evening news. I bet you liked that, don't you?
14:23
Speaker 3: And and it was it was one of the early inclinations.
14:27
Speaker 3: I'm sure some therapists somewhere writing the sounds say, oh,
14:30
Speaker 3: that's very interesting, paging doctor Freud. Uh, it's more doctor Schadenfreud.
14:36
Speaker 3: On this program four three four eight eight two four
14:39
Speaker 3: two one seven. James Locke, our fourth generation gold and
14:44
Speaker 3: Silver investment man, is on the phone with us at
14:48
Speaker 3: JCS gold dot com. James, good morning, sir, how are
14:52
Speaker 3: you doing. I'm Joan Maljoe. You had me at two martinis? Well,
14:58
Speaker 3: you know that was my mind. I would have a
15:00
Speaker 3: couple of martinis after coming home from the bank, and
15:03
Speaker 3: then she would come down into, you know, the room
15:05
Speaker 3: that I was drawing and making model cars in. And
15:08
Speaker 3: I think I was like thirteen, I think at the
15:11
Speaker 3: at the end of it all. But we would argue.
15:13
Speaker 3: She'd come down and she'd pointed something, you know, may
15:15
Speaker 3: Or ed Koch, Did I bet you like that, don't you?
15:18
Speaker 1: You know?
15:18
Speaker 3: And she'd pick a fight. She'd pick a fight with
15:21
Speaker 3: me about some topic and and and I couldn't just
15:24
Speaker 3: say I don't want to talk about it. That was
15:25
Speaker 3: a non starter with my mother. She would she she
15:29
Speaker 3: wanted to hear you have an opinion on it, even
15:31
Speaker 3: if you weren't watching the news, which I think qualified
15:34
Speaker 3: me greatly for talk radio. So how are gold and
15:38
Speaker 3: silver doing this morning? Yeah, gold and silver.
15:41
Speaker 12: After the sell off yesterday, they are back in the
15:44
Speaker 12: green today. Gold is up two percent, up over one
15:46
Speaker 12: hundred dollars today to five ninety one dollars. Silver is
15:51
Speaker 12: up five percent at the moment to eighty six dollars,
15:53
Speaker 12: and eleven cents.
15:54
Speaker 3: Silver still has a.
15:55
Speaker 12: Little bit of rebuilding to do to be back where
15:58
Speaker 12: it was by the end last week up in the nineties,
16:01
Speaker 12: and on Monday it was in the nineties. So we'll
16:04
Speaker 12: see if they can get back up there. It needs
16:05
Speaker 12: to break through eighty six to continue its run, so
16:08
Speaker 12: we'll see where this bounce gets us.
16:10
Speaker 3: And so many tumultuous times, the Jefferson coin Shop jcsgold
16:15
Speaker 3: dot com has been there through it. I mean, you
16:17
Speaker 3: guys started in nineteen sixty one, you know, and has
16:21
Speaker 3: been going ever since. So I'll think of all the
16:24
Speaker 3: tumultuous events in American history that jcsgold dot Com has
16:29
Speaker 3: been there to see you through. And that's some of
16:31
Speaker 3: the experience that I promote as the idea as to
16:35
Speaker 3: why you should call these folks instead of some call
16:37
Speaker 3: center and get put on hold and your waytime has
16:41
Speaker 3: averaged four minutes and twenty nine set or whatever they
16:44
Speaker 3: tell you these days, and so call them, talk to
16:48
Speaker 3: them four to three four ninety seven nine coin. I
16:52
Speaker 3: think that's two six four six, I think is the
16:56
Speaker 3: is how that comes out numerically there and after ten
17:00
Speaker 3: am Eastern Eastern daylight time coming up in just a
17:03
Speaker 3: couple of days. But ten am Eastern, James, and thank
17:07
Speaker 3: you for all the expertise in all those years and
17:10
Speaker 3: all those to moussos times that you've helped shepherd people's
17:14
Speaker 3: gold and silver investment through.
17:17
Speaker 12: Absolutely we have been here through quite a few geopolitical
17:21
Speaker 12: events over the years, and we're always here for our
17:24
Speaker 12: clients if they're interested in buying more silver and gold
17:28
Speaker 12: and add into their investment, or of course some people
17:31
Speaker 12: it's the right time for them to sell, and we're
17:34
Speaker 12: here for both needs of our clients. But we're always
17:37
Speaker 12: here for any gold and silver point investing or divesting needs.
17:41
Speaker 3: Well, I appreciate it, sir. Again it's jcsgold dot com.
17:45
Speaker 3: You have a great morning, sir. Thanks show you too.
17:49
Speaker 3: Onwards and inwards. Clark's hanging on the line with us
17:53
Speaker 3: with a thought, good morning, Clark. And I want to
17:54
Speaker 3: get into this, Please don't let me get away from
17:56
Speaker 3: I want to get into what happened to Dan Crenshaw.
18:00
Speaker 3: A couple of folks have sent emails and texts on
18:03
Speaker 3: the demise of Dan Crenshaw and lumping it in with
18:07
Speaker 3: the Marjorie Taylor Greens and all these folks and I
18:10
Speaker 3: have a working group on this, and we have some
18:14
Speaker 3: analysis for that. But Clark, what's on your mind? Sir?
18:18
Speaker 9: WHOA? Well, Jinsaki back Dan Crenshaw. But let's go on
18:22
Speaker 9: chronological orders.
18:23
Speaker 3: So you said.
18:26
Speaker 9: That the court's failure to intervene on the democrats quest
18:33
Speaker 9: for permanent power was kind of like the police saying
18:37
Speaker 9: they couldn't stop somebody while robbing your house until they
18:40
Speaker 9: were finished.
18:41
Speaker 3: Right.
18:42
Speaker 9: Well, the thing is here, Joe, is after they get
18:46
Speaker 9: finished robbing your house, your courts are going to say, oh,
18:51
Speaker 9: possession is nontense of the law.
18:55
Speaker 3: Boy, You've had some rough times in the court of
18:58
Speaker 3: justice systems, haven't you, Clark.
19:01
Speaker 9: Well, I ultimately prevailed. So next thing, Moscow. Bob was
19:09
Speaker 9: speaking figuratively when he said that Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Uh,
19:16
Speaker 9: Chuck Schumer, Harry Reid, we're in bed with the sea ies.
19:22
Speaker 3: Yeah.
19:24
Speaker 9: Well, you know, Joe, if you flip that over and
19:26
Speaker 9: think literally, nobody would willingly get into bed with any
19:31
Speaker 9: of those people.
19:34
Speaker 3: Now, how am I going to get that visual out
19:36
Speaker 3: of my head?
19:37
Speaker 9: Yeah, so that's just not gonna happen.
19:39
Speaker 3: Now. Oh Ayatola, Oh Ayatola, Your beard is so itchy.
19:44
Speaker 3: I just this is gonna this is gonna fester.
19:49
Speaker 9: Don't take a sip to your coffee right now. So
19:54
Speaker 9: thank you for the clarification on releasing Chang.
19:57
Speaker 3: Because when I'm.
20:00
Speaker 9: Little, Marco say we're about to release the Chang, I
20:04
Speaker 9: thought to myself. We've got missiles that we can fire
20:09
Speaker 9: and they will go down air shafts. We've got a
20:13
Speaker 9: sonic weapon that will neurologically discombobulate combatants while causing blood
20:20
Speaker 9: to run out of theirs. And now we're about to
20:23
Speaker 9: release the one eyed octopus looking space alien monster from
20:28
Speaker 9: the Simpsons on the Iranian regime.
20:34
Speaker 13: We have got it going on.
20:36
Speaker 3: I'm glad that because Marco Rubio I think had that
20:40
Speaker 3: same thought when he was making this statement, because he
20:43
Speaker 3: stopped and he said, you know that that's an expression
20:46
Speaker 3: that comes from the Bush family, which means the sword
20:49
Speaker 3: of Chang Kai check. I'm like, but you can see
20:53
Speaker 3: Marco's a Simpsons fan. He realized what it sounded like
20:57
Speaker 3: just as much as you did.
20:59
Speaker 1: Well, and thinking about.
21:00
Speaker 3: No Shanghai check.
21:03
Speaker 9: So you know, on Tim Kane and protecting the little children,
21:13
Speaker 9: they do recognize this as an existential threat and they
21:16
Speaker 9: will tell you what threatens them from what.
21:20
Speaker 3: They beloviate about.
21:22
Speaker 9: Maybe we should just coin the term spaghetti flinging.
21:28
Speaker 3: That's kind of what they do sound like right now.
21:30
Speaker 9: They're just throwing everything they got to see if it'll stick. Yeah,
21:34
Speaker 9: because this whole thing just absolutely terrifies them. And I
21:39
Speaker 9: think they have they're not very good at pattern recognition.
21:44
Speaker 9: They're good at making patterns, but they're not good at
21:46
Speaker 9: recognizing them. That Donald Trump stays about three or four
21:55
Speaker 9: moves ahead on the board, Oh, I know they do.
21:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know he does, and they that makes them infuriated.

Speaker 20: the dconsole.
28:16
Speaker 1: From the home of the first amend first thing today.
28:35
Speaker 3: On this Tedsday primaries in Texas. And you know, I
28:43
Speaker 3: wanted to spend a little time because several emails came in,
28:46
Speaker 3: you know, as the results started to come in, and
28:48
Speaker 3: and uh, Dan Crenshaw another of the folks who you
28:53
Speaker 3: know for many many years were Tea Party and and
29:04
Speaker 3: Maga and you know, people just presume, because they're not
29:09
Speaker 3: the squad, that they are conservatives and the other like
29:13
Speaker 3: what happened to Dan Crenshaw. And unfortunately, from where I said,
29:20
Speaker 3: there are people that seek these offices. I think, Matt
29:26
Speaker 3: last week we were talking about the Bard of Vermont,
29:31
Speaker 3: Bernard Sanders, a man, a man who thought working for
29:35
Speaker 3: a living was getting elected to something. So you know,
29:43
Speaker 3: we see these folks and you want them to be conservative,
29:54
Speaker 3: but what is conservative Conservative? Constitutionalist means a government only
30:00
Speaker 3: capable of laws protecting you from the people who are
30:04
Speaker 3: about to break them by arresting them, coming up with
30:08
Speaker 3: those standards by which if you break a law of man,
30:14
Speaker 3: here are the punishments. Can't stop you from it. We
30:18
Speaker 3: will punish somebody. And in the abstract, you will see
30:21
Speaker 3: it and say, hmm. But because twenty first century America
30:31
Speaker 3: is about money trafficking, we are the money changers. We
30:36
Speaker 3: have had the temple corrupted. We are selling the indulgences,
30:43
Speaker 3: just like Caiaphas and his crowd were in Jerusalem twenty
30:50
Speaker 3: six years ago. Well, I guess, I guess it was
30:53
Speaker 3: more like two thousand years ago. So in the Rabbi
31:00
Speaker 3: from Galilee showed up and started knocking over tables. You're like, dude, dude,
31:05
Speaker 3: what's up. And so, you know, somebody like a Dan
31:10
Speaker 3: Crenshaw maybe he didn't intend to start out that way
31:12
Speaker 3: Marjorie Taylor Green. Eventually they get caught by the conservatives
31:17
Speaker 3: not doing the conservative things, and you know a lot
31:20
Speaker 3: of people like, oh, it's just about Trump. And Trump
31:22
Speaker 3: had a snit and Dan Crenshaw. Dan Crenshaw started it
31:26
Speaker 3: when he said I don't believe the twenty twenty election
31:29
Speaker 3: was stolen. Why did he say that? Because it was
31:32
Speaker 3: popular in and amongst his circle of friends in Texas.
31:41
Speaker 3: And he's never recanted that, even as the evidence out
31:45
Speaker 3: of Fulton County, Georgia and other locations continue to mount
31:49
Speaker 3: that he was wrong about that, and you know, so
31:55
Speaker 3: you are you willing to stand up for the rule
31:58
Speaker 3: of law or what keeps you in office?
32:02
Speaker 9: Another decepticon bites the dust. You know, it's gonna be
32:09
Speaker 9: hard for us to ever win and us versus them
32:13
Speaker 9: when so many of us are them.
32:16
Speaker 3: By Dan well, you know, and that's kind of where
32:19
Speaker 3: I was going with this because like a lot of
32:22
Speaker 3: people who rote in, I mean, he wasn't Maga, he
32:24
Speaker 3: was Tea Party. And one of the things that infects
32:30
Speaker 3: both Maga and Tea Party, and there's a lot of overlap,
32:34
Speaker 3: is that there were opportunists who saw this new crowd
32:40
Speaker 3: of people in order to get in front of because
32:43
Speaker 3: that's what they They're like moths to a light. They
32:46
Speaker 3: see a crowd of people like, I gotta get me
32:48
Speaker 3: some of that, and so they would go find people
32:52
Speaker 3: like Dan Crenchawn, Marjorie Taylor Green, et cetera, and get
32:56
Speaker 3: them into office on the wave of Tea Party. Taxed
33:01
Speaker 3: enough already, but they were already beholden to people behind
33:05
Speaker 3: the scenes. Hey, while you're there, I need you to
33:08
Speaker 3: support this project. Hey, this base shouldn't close in the district. Hey,
33:15
Speaker 3: can you make sure that my factory gets that grant
33:18
Speaker 3: that was supposed to come down out of Washington, and
33:21
Speaker 3: little by little, even if Dan Crenshaw at the beginning
33:24
Speaker 3: of his career believed in what you and I believe in,
33:28
Speaker 3: you know, it's a million prizes and glittering compromises, shattered
33:33
Speaker 3: the illusion of integrity. Clark Well, I.
33:38
Speaker 9: Don't think Dan was MAGA, and I don't think he
33:41
Speaker 9: was Tea Party. I think he was Dan Party. I
33:45
Speaker 9: think Marjorie was never Maga. She was Marjorie Party. And
33:49
Speaker 9: you know, so long as Maga got her where she
33:53
Speaker 9: wanted to go, then she was on that bus. And
33:57
Speaker 9: it's the same way with Dan. When the Tea Party
33:59
Speaker 9: got him where he wanted to go, he was Tea Party.
34:02
Speaker 9: But then when there wasn't Tea Party and the Mega
34:05
Speaker 9: Party didn't get him where he wanted to be, he
34:07
Speaker 9: was just straight up Dan Party.
34:09
Speaker 3: But here's the problem politically, when you're doing a numbers
34:12
Speaker 3: game and where it's you know, it's two parties and
34:15
Speaker 3: those are your choices, is they don't have this problem.
34:19
Speaker 3: I think this Jasmine Crockett paddling in Texas is the
34:24
Speaker 3: first real rebuke of these squad members, and she really
34:31
Speaker 3: you know, maybe is the example for many. She campaigned
34:36
Speaker 3: very little in Texas for the Texas Senate nomination and
34:40
Speaker 3: spent a lot of time in New York and Connecticut
34:42
Speaker 3: and Los Angeles campaigning for it. So there's examples there,
34:48
Speaker 3: but for the most part, you don't see a lot
34:51
Speaker 3: of Dan Crenshaw Marjorie Taylor Green's happening in the Democratic Party. Well, okay,
35:00
Speaker 3: I know.
35:01
Speaker 9: What you mean when you say we have a two
35:03
Speaker 9: party thing, but let's be.
35:05
Speaker 3: Honest, we have one party.
35:11
Speaker 9: And then a lose collection that works together episodically.
35:18
Speaker 3: Ah, yeah, I think so. I think there's people. See
35:22
Speaker 3: this is the problem. See, the conservative believes a government
35:26
Speaker 3: is just simply there to come up with the processes
35:29
Speaker 3: to protect their God given rights, and anything beyond that
35:33
Speaker 3: is an abomination, and they will vote against it or
35:36
Speaker 3: they will stay home if they're not given the choice
35:39
Speaker 3: of somebody who's going to try to do that. And
35:42
Speaker 3: that's the problem is that a lot of conservatives, looking
35:46
Speaker 3: at the two party presentations, stay home. This is why
35:51
Speaker 3: you know, we struggle to get over sixty percent voter
35:54
Speaker 3: turnout in a country that quite honestly, by my estimation,
35:58
Speaker 3: is at least five percent. Constitutional is conservative, and you know,
36:04
Speaker 3: you look at some of the people who have leaned
36:06
Speaker 3: into that, and they've been, you know, wildly successful Trump, Reagan,
36:11
Speaker 3: these kind of folks on a national level anyway. So
36:16
Speaker 3: so yes, there is the problem with the uniparty. It's
36:19
Speaker 3: it's uh, you've drawn the wrestling, you know, it's it's
36:23
Speaker 3: the New World Order versus Hulkamania, and and that's and
36:29
Speaker 3: that's all it is. And they all go out to
36:30
Speaker 3: dinner together afterwards.
36:33
Speaker 9: If the Republican Party would be the constitutional conservative party,
36:39
Speaker 9: they would get seventy five percent turnout, Joe.
36:42
Speaker 3: I know, I know, but they outside of Trump. And
36:46
Speaker 3: maybe this is little by little where you know, Trump's
36:49
Speaker 3: impact could be generational on you know, who winds up
36:53
Speaker 3: in the Republican Party. But I've got to run here, sir,
36:56
Speaker 3: good stuff. My friend is always thank you. Ellen rights in.
37:01
Speaker 3: On the subject of Dan Crenshaw, she says, I know
37:04
Speaker 3: Crenshaw ticked off the two way crowd. You know, this
37:08
Speaker 3: is the interesting thing. And you know, because he angered
37:12
Speaker 3: the Second Amendment, the gun owning constitutionalists in the same
37:16
Speaker 3: way Pam Bondi did by suggesting, in the wake of
37:20
Speaker 3: a shooting incident that we should have red flag laws,
37:25
Speaker 3: and then he goes, I was an HR something or another.
37:29
Speaker 3: He introduced a nationwide red flag quote prohibition that wasn't
37:37
Speaker 3: a prohibition. It said that if you have red flag laws,
37:41
Speaker 3: here are the things that the federal government is going
37:43
Speaker 3: to mandate fund unfundedly of course, that you do to
37:48
Speaker 3: make sure. And there were things that we've talked about
37:50
Speaker 3: like making sure. Oh there's like a court proceeding that
37:54
Speaker 3: you could have your right of disposal, your right of
37:57
Speaker 3: defense against them, but not at first.

Speaker 2: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
39:08
Speaker 2: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
39:14
Speaker 2: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
39:19
Speaker 2: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
39:23
Speaker 2: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
39:27
Speaker 2: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
39:33
Speaker 2: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
39:38
Speaker 2: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
39:43
Speaker 2: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
39:47
Speaker 2: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
39:52
Speaker 2: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

Speaker 25: Hi everybody, I'm Jack Hannah and it's always a boy.
41:02
Speaker 25: Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
41:04
Speaker 25: with animals. I'm not only in alle of their beauty
41:07
Speaker 25: and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
41:09
Speaker 25: at the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or
41:12
Speaker 25: Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
41:15
Speaker 25: or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
41:18
Speaker 25: secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
41:21
Speaker 25: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
41:23
Speaker 25: in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
41:26
Speaker 25: by our best friends the canines. We know dogs are
41:30
Speaker 25: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
41:33
Speaker 25: they also perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep
41:36
Speaker 25: us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of
41:38
Speaker 25: whom suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them
41:42
Speaker 25: when there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs
41:45
Speaker 25: have a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to
41:47
Speaker 25: society and help those in need.
41:48
Speaker 1: So please join me an.

42:11
Speaker 14: art and brain.
42:13
Speaker 3: Who's with me?
42:14
Speaker 14: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
42:16

Speaker 1: M Amaze your friends here in the First Thing Today
44:17
Speaker 1: by Joe jonas.
44:32
Speaker 3: So during the break with a bunch of emails and
44:36
Speaker 3: text messages on Dan Crenshaw and the Second Amendment, UH
44:42
Speaker 3: talking about his statements about red flag laws. Mike, I
44:47
Speaker 3: think is exemplar of the text we received, Joe. Conservatives
44:52
Speaker 3: always bash me. What is the matter of amaze me?
44:58
Speaker 3: What is the matter with a common sense law that
45:02
Speaker 3: says people who are in trouble shouldn't have guns? And Mike,
45:12
Speaker 3: I understand this, And just in the same way Americans
45:16
Speaker 3: have been convinced that Hamas is a marginalized community, people
45:22
Speaker 3: are convinced that red flag laws are common sense. I'm
45:27
Speaker 3: going to say something here and it's going to make
45:29
Speaker 3: people angry. It's going to make people say, ah. But
45:37
Speaker 3: if you want to know why I oppose red flag laws,
45:42
Speaker 3: let's ask the folks in Salem, Massachusetts. I'll pause for
45:48
Speaker 3: a moment to let you all pull back onto the road.
45:51
Speaker 3: I don't mean currently, I mean the seventeenth century Salem, Massachusetts.
45:58
Speaker 3: I would argue, if you've ever been to Salem, Massachusetts,
46:01
Speaker 3: there are more witches in Salem, Massachusetts today by a
46:06
Speaker 3: factor of one hundred to one than there were in
46:10
Speaker 3: the sixteen hundreds. But because red flag laws existed regarding witchcraft,
46:22
Speaker 3: there's a cemetery full of people who were stoned to
46:26
Speaker 3: death and hung and various other unsundry things done to
46:31
Speaker 3: them because they had been accused of either being or
46:35
Speaker 3: supporting gun ownership. I mean, witchcraft in Massachusetts colony. And
46:45
Speaker 3: I know that's an extreme answer to your question, Mike,
46:50
Speaker 3: but it's I feel like, after all the gaslighting that
46:54
Speaker 3: has happened on this subject, I needed to drop Moab
47:01
Speaker 3: just to get, you know, just to kind of remember,
47:04
Speaker 3: snap everyone out of it. Red flag laws don't work.
47:12
Speaker 3: There are several things that tie into why red flag
47:15
Speaker 3: laws don't work. Most importantly, constitutionally, your right of petition,
47:21
Speaker 3: your right of appeal, your right to face your accuser,
47:24
Speaker 3: your right to be heard by a magistrate to face
47:30
Speaker 3: your accusations has been so ruined in this country. We
47:38
Speaker 3: often talk about congressional districts being woefully undermanned and overpopulated
47:47
Speaker 3: Our court system is the same way. And I'm not
47:58
Speaker 3: even going to go January sixth, where people sat and
48:02
Speaker 3: rotted in jail cells, losing their ever loving minds. Literal
48:08
Speaker 3: insanity ensued. Kid from Waynesboro, our flagship area is literally
48:14
Speaker 3: went insane in prison because he never saw his loved ones,
48:18
Speaker 3: He never saw the inside of a courtroom. And the
48:24
Speaker 3: same is true. Somebody gets a red flag law tagged
48:26
Speaker 3: in states where they exist, and it's months to almost
48:31
Speaker 3: a year before they ever see the inside of a
48:33
Speaker 3: courtroom to have somebody say, hey, I didn't do it.
48:39
Speaker 3: And too frequently judges say, well, I'm going to err
48:42
Speaker 3: on the side of caution, and all of a sudden
48:44
Speaker 3: you've been convicted of whatever red flag violation it is,
48:48
Speaker 3: and you've had your constitutional rights abridged simply because somebody
48:53
Speaker 3: said so. And then laughably, when people are exposing dangerous behavior,
49:02
Speaker 3: they walk scot free, like the guy who shot up
49:05
Speaker 3: the grocery store in the Charlottesville area croze. He had
49:13
Speaker 3: been you know, the police had been called by his
49:15
Speaker 3: own family members, and because they couldn't do anything. Because
49:21
Speaker 3: this is the secret about red flag laws is that
49:23
Speaker 3: they actually leave more dangerous people in danger and in
49:29
Speaker 3: peril than they take away. And it's because we don't
49:37
Speaker 3: have a mental health care system that works. It's because
49:40
Speaker 3: we don't have courtrooms. So somebody tags you with a
49:43
Speaker 3: red flag law. In some states, it could be months
49:46
Speaker 3: before you ever see the inside of a courtroom and
49:50
Speaker 3: the front side of a judge to plead your case,
49:54
Speaker 3: to defend your honor, to say hey, I'm not the one,
50:00
Speaker 3: I'm innocent. The process becomes the punishment. So there are
50:09
Speaker 3: a million things wrong with our judicial system that render
50:12
Speaker 3: red flag laws inept in the first place. But the
50:19
Speaker 3: concept is bad anyway, because you're saying, I want to
50:23
Speaker 3: keep the guns out of the hands of the bad people.
50:29
Speaker 3: And is there a litmus test for what somebody determines
50:32
Speaker 3: as a bad person. Maybe you called into the wrong
50:38
Speaker 3: talk show, maybe you got upset and hollered something because
50:44
Speaker 3: you're frustrated, And then we're back to where usually after
50:54
Speaker 3: some mass shooting event, like the guy, we still can't
50:57
Speaker 3: figure out what is motives were in Austin, Texas, aside
51:03
Speaker 3: from the T shirt that says property of Allah. When
51:13
Speaker 3: you do you finally have some horrific event take place,
51:18
Speaker 3: what's the first thing. This is so stereotype. I had
51:21
Speaker 3: no idea. He was just a quiet guy Norfolk, Virginia
51:27
Speaker 3: Municipal Office. You know, there were some employees there that
51:32
Speaker 3: had some problems, you know what they were told by management,
51:34
Speaker 3: we can't do anything about that because of HR violations.
51:43
Speaker 3: So red flag laws are just like what did Mary
51:47
Speaker 3: Poppins call them, pie crust promises, easily made, easily broken.
51:51
Speaker 3: And the people who wind up getting punished by red
51:54
Speaker 3: flag laws are the innocents. I mean to spend this
52:02
Speaker 3: much time on Dan Crenshaw, but after we talked about
52:05
Speaker 3: it in the last segment, you know, and and brought
52:07
Speaker 3: up his stand on red flag laws like red flag Pam,
52:13
Speaker 3: It's understandable, but it's it's such shallow administrative representation that
52:20
Speaker 3: when Rick Scott and Pam Bondi said we should have
52:26
Speaker 3: red flag laws, of course there was just a shoot
52:29
Speaker 3: up in the school, and they hadn't even bothered waiting
52:31
Speaker 3: to find out that the kid crews had been in custody,
52:36
Speaker 3: not even just brought to the attention, but actually been
52:38
Speaker 3: in custody of law enforcement. So it's just easily made,
52:47
Speaker 3: easily broken. And that's what did Crenshaw in a lot
52:50
Speaker 3: of ways.
52:55
