"They Called it 'Affordable' You Know" (FTTxJT Thu 101526 hr2) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: We could tell you what 6-7 means. Where's the fun
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: in that? First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Talk Media Network.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Joe works at a steel mill.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: He's damn near every day.
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: Leaves for work when the sun comes up. Drops a
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: kid to school and all the way. Joe has everything
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: he dreamed of.
• 0:23
  Speaker 5: All the treasures that he needs.
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:29
  Speaker 6: He only aims to please you.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Bless you for letting us be of service to you
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: this morning. A couple of texts. Actually, it's a one,
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: two-part text. Mike, who listens to us on 1040 in
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Colorado Springs when we get on there later in the morning,
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: but listens to the stream online, part one, you need
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: to put your stream up on your website, JoeThomasInTheMorning.com just
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: saying I had to go looking around for a place
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: where I could listen to you online. And I appreciate that.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: I really do. But it's one of those things where
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: my job is also to say this is a great
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: radio station and you should be listening to the other
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: folks on it. It's like Scott in Virginia Beach. And
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: I get it and I love the fact that he
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: hangs around with us after our Virginia Beach time goes away.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: But I can't really say that because then the Virginia
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Beach station will be telling us to pound sand because
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: our job is to also make you stay with the...
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: Because these are great radio stations for carrying whatever amount
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: of time with us they can. So he goes on
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: to say, Joe, as you wrapped up to the news,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: you told Dr.
• 1:57
  Speaker 7: Clark.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: that you sleep well at night because of the efforts
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: you made to fight the Affordable Care Act and bring
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: reality to people. But didn't you fail? Didn't they pass
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: the Affordable Care Act? Didn't John Roberts, a George Bush
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: appointee to the Supreme Court as Chief Justice, rewrite the
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: law and then rule it constitutional? How do you sleep
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: all night knowing that everything you did failed? Here's how
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: I do that, because I know I did everything I could.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Within the sound of our voice, where we were heard
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: at the time in 2009, Tom Perriello did not do well.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Tom Perriello had to go to court, ironically, to keep
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: servicemen and women, many of whom are veterans now that
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: he's wooing for this vote. I wonder if they realize that.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: And that's just one instance. He went to court to
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: keep servicemen and women's ballots from being counted because they
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: were overseas and they didn't get back to the district
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: in time. Ironically, things that are all legal right now
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: keep counting ballots for days and days after it. That
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: would have kept Tom Perriello from ever going to Congress.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: kept him from being the tie-breaking vote on Obamacare. So
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: there's plenty going on there, and he's wooing these veterans
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: whose very votes he kept from being counted back in 2008.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: But also keep in mind that you and I, I believe,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: and I shouldn't speak for you this way, but I
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: follow a church in which it begins with the ultimate failure.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: My faith, my church, my theology begins with what at
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: the moment seemed like a horrific failure. Just saying. Mark
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Deloach somewhere at Albemarle Baptist Church is face-bombing saying, Joe, Joe,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: don't start in the theology again. But we can get
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: into this further. I must tell you the first things
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: this morning because these are the stories we are covering today.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: It has been the subject of movies. It has been
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: the romantic go-to by many young people in New York City,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: and it's coming to an end. Zorhan Mamdani is canceling
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: the permits of all the horse-drawn carriages in Central Park.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: The 150-year icons of romance in New York are being
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: canceled because a kid who, in a case that is
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: still being adjudicated, died. in what is being called a
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: runaway situation after falling from one of those carriages. Federal
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: authorities have seized Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's cell phone and have
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: subpoenaed more of her relatives and a dozen other people
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: in her world investigating whether she lied on her immigration
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: paperwork to show a younger age than she was. President
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Trump was in Montana rallying voters there towards the midterms,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: pointing out that the Second Amendment would be under siege
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: if Hakeem Jeffries takes control. For his part, Congressman Jeffries,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: who believes he will become House Speaker if all these
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Democratic Socialists win seats, says he's got a 100-hour agenda,
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: never mind 100 days, to reinstate the tax breaks that
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: make the Affordable Care Act semi-affordable, reversing Medicaid cuts and
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: holding votes against the Iran war. Somehow this is all
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: supposed to make America affordable again. And Ukraine is accusing
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: the West, mostly the United States, through winks and nods,
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: of cutting into their ability to defend themselves against Russia,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: now saying that Starlink has throttled back their use of
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: drones in the battlefield. Those are our first things. Yesterday,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: we got our AM flagship station to broadcast for the
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: first time in almost one year, as my engineer and
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: I finally, with electric power at the transmitter site, We're
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: crawling around on the floor behind and in positions that
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: you never want to get into because radio transmitter buildings
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: are not spacious. And I tell you, I was right
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: for the CBD oil that Mesa Verde Hemp and our
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: friend Sealy out there pressed for me.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: And, oh.
• 7:02
  Speaker 8: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 7:07
  Speaker 8: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch and nitric
• 7:12
  Speaker 8: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 7:17
  Speaker 8: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 7:22
  Speaker 8: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
• 7:27
  Speaker 8: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 7:31
  Speaker 8: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 7:35
  Speaker 8: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,

  Speaker 10: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 9:37
  Speaker 10: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 9:41
  Speaker 10: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 9:44
  Speaker 10: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 9:48
  Speaker 10: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 9:53
  Speaker 10: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 9:56
  Speaker 10: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
• 9:59
  Speaker 10: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.
• 10:04

  Speaker 10: I speak with my patients, I urge them to get
• 10:10
  Speaker 10: all their recommended vaccines. Now I'm urging you to speak
• 10:14
  Speaker 10: with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
• 10:17
  Speaker 10: For more information about the vaccines that are recommended for
• 10:20
  Speaker 10: adults and the diseases they prevent, like HPV, whooping cough, tetanus,
• 10:24
  Speaker 10: and shingles, visit adultvaccination.org. That's www.adultvaccination.org.
• 10:33
  Speaker 12: We depend on our drinking water supply daily, but where
• 10:36
  Speaker 12: does that water come from? Your water provider encourages you
• 10:40
  Speaker 12: to get to know your local water source so together
• 10:43
  Speaker 12: we can protect and preserve it. The investments we make
• 10:46
  Speaker 12: as a community to protect our water source now ensure
• 10:49
  Speaker 12: we have a sustainable drinking water supply for the future.

  Speaker 12: you by the American Water Works Association and your local
• 11:00
  Speaker 12: water provider. If you came across someone struggling with hunger,
• 11:05
  Speaker 12: how would you recognize them?
• 11:07
  Speaker 13: By their clothes?
• 11:08
  Speaker 14: Their age?
• 11:09
  Speaker 15: The way they speak?
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: Would you notice a 16-year-old boy.
• 11:13
  Speaker 8: Who got his first job?
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: Not for extra spending money, but to help feed his
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: little sisters. Or a mother who's.
• 11:20
  Speaker 12: In between jobs and sometimes goes to bed hungry so
• 11:23
  Speaker 12: her kids can have dinner. Or a 14-year-old girl who
• 11:26
  Speaker 12: signs up to every after-school.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: Activity not to make friends, but just to get something
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: to eat.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Or a retiree who fell ill and had to choose
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: between getting medicine or groceries.

  Speaker 11: I am the one in.

  Speaker 4: Think about this. There are five freedoms guaranteed in the
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: First Amendment. Freedom of religion. Freedom of speech. Freedom of

  Speaker 4: the press. Freedom to peaceably assemble. Freedom to petition the government.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: Which freedom can you live without? Fortunately, the First Amendment
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: doesn't make you choose. It protects all five freedoms equally.

  Speaker 17: When might you be buzzed when you suddenly love everything?
• 12:31
  Speaker 16: You guys, I love this song.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: I love these nachos. I love our kickball league. I
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: love this guy.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: What's your name? You know what I love?
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: A ride when it's time to head out.
• 12:46
  Speaker 17: If you see a buzzed warning sign, call for a
• 12:49
  Speaker 17: ride when it's time to go home. Buzz driving is
• 12:51
  Speaker 17: drunk driving. A message from NHTSA and the Ad Council.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: Thank you for letting us be of service to you.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Email comes in. Joe, you need to call your friend
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: John McGuire. That point is so well taken. It's not
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: just John. It's all across the country. Veterans are being
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: turned against Donald Trump in the same way that suburban
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: women were turned against Donald Trump in 2020. And they're
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: using the implication of not starting a new war as
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: justification for that. And they're turning veterans. And this is
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: the amazing thing. And I only pick on Tom because
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: I was there. I was outside the courthouse while he
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: was successfully barred most of these veterans he's campaigning to.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: And I don't know if they realize this, is that
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: if they were in the active military service in 2008
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: and tried to vote, their ballots weren't counted because this
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: guy fought against what is now considered legal. I don't
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: think it's right. But these ballots were delayed in the
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: mail coming back from in theater. And there were still
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: questions regarding how that happened, because in many cases, these
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: soldiers had voted weeks prior. So we were looking at
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: a wink nudge failure to communicate. You answer the question
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: yourself on this. But I appreciate the consult on that.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's stunning to me that this guy can
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: stand in a room with veterans whose very votes he
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: denied from being counted in 2008 and tell them, I'm
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: going to work for you. He went to court against you, man.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Wake up and smell the java. Our friend James... jcsgold.com,
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: you know, making sure that whatever comes of the world,
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: you've got gold and silver in your portfolio because currencies
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: come and currencies go. I point out that in our
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: parents' lifetimes, the British pound sterling was the world trading currency.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: So it hasn't been all that long, maybe 90 years. James,
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: good morning, sir. How are you doing this morning? And
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: that's a really great point.
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: We tell a lot of our our customers, you know,
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: that gold and silver, physical gold and silver should be
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: a portion of your portfolio. Definitely not the whole thing.
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: You know, you never put all of your eggs in
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: one basket.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: You know, it's right.
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: We're not thinking that, you know, everyone should invest every
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: spare dollar they have in physical gold and silver. But
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: it should be a portion of your portfolio so you
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: can be protected. against the shrinking dollar and against anything
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: that may come up in the world.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: And so how are they doing this morning? Gold and
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: silver are in the green so far today.
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: Gold is up a little bit over 1% of $ 49
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: to $ 4, 153. Silver really trying to find support and balancing
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: this morning up almost 2% up $ 1 to $ 56. 65.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, and of course, one of the fun
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: things about JCS Gold is that you can go onto
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: their website any old time of any old day, middle
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: of the night, where I know some of you are, Portland,
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: Salem and all that, San Bernardino. And it's the middle
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: of the night. You can go on there and see
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: what gold is trading at right now. Buy it right
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: at that price before, you know, the sun rises and
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: all people start waking up. You can be there because
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: that's what they make available for you. So it's all
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: the things that these big corporations can do for you,
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: but a family that's not trying to upsell you because
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: they need to make a quota because they're trying to
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: hold on to their job through the next quarter. And
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry if I make it seem like that, but
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: these guys, they're not, and too many of us, I
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: think too many of us need advice on our investments.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: And I don't want to call somebody that I'm concerned
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: if they're just upselling me or are they giving me
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: the straight deal. So call a family business like the
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Luck family and ask them and get the advice, not
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: the upsell. Right, James?
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: That's exactly right, Joe. And you don't have to worry
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: about any commissions or extra charges or, you know, weird
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: charges at checkout that increase your price there. the last
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: second the price you see on the website is the
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: price you pay and that updates in real time every
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: couple minutes as the gold and silver price move constantly
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: so you're always getting the best deal locking in as
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: soon as you hit um that purchase.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Button amen to that my friend you have a great
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: morning thanks joe you too four three and their number
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: by the way to do that is four three four
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: nine seven nine coin.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: So.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: Many folks... Now have picked up on.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: And it's a tangent. It really wasn't, you know, a
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: part and parcel of the plan. But, you know, everyone's
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: got a plan until they get punched in the face. Right,
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Mike Tyson? But I just... I said this about Obamacare,
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: because Hakeem Jeffries has brought it up. He brought up,
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: we're going to bring back the tax breaks that make
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: the Affordable Care Act affordable. You mean the tax that
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: John Roberts wrote into a tax that the members of
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Congress at the time were too afraid to call a
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: tax that they called it a fine, which they didn't
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: have the right to impose. So John Roberts rewrote your
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: homework for you like McFly did for Griff. rewrote your homework,
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: and now you had to pass a tax break for
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: those who had to pay the tax on Obama to
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: make it. But I sleep well at night because, you know,
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: Sally Pipes, Sally Pipes from the Pacific Research Institute. And
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: if you don't know Sally, you don't know somebody who campaigns.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: Our friends from the Heritage Foundation. Up and down the
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: dial with people. every place you could hear this program,
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: which was not as considerable as it is today. We were,
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: I think, in Roanoke, in Richmond, Virginia. But we were,
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: you know, the beginnings of the Americans for Prosperity and
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: their organizations. And people pointing out, doctors pointing out that
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: this was a lie. Doctors, not politicians, but the Democrats
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: rode the Obama coattails. And then, before you could read it, remember, Obamacare,
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: the Affordable Care Act, was the bill in question when
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Nancy Pelosi said, we're going to have to pass it
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: so that we can read it. I sleep well because
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: we did everything I felt we could to defeat the
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: people who are going to bring about the Affordable Care Act.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: And we were buttonholed earlier about whether or not I
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: like being a loser. We remember Christianity begins with what
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: appears to be one of the most horrific losses in
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: human history. The Romans killed the Son of God. But
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: did they win or did they lose? See, in that effort,
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: in that loss came the greatest victory ever. And that's
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: what you have to realize is you might have lost
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: the moment, a battle of brandywine for the American revolutionaries,
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: but we won.
• 22:02

  Speaker 5: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, SUV, or light truck,
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: That's what you should use. But there are exceptions to
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: the rule. Many high-end or luxury vehicles call for premium
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: or higher octane fuel. And the reason for this is
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: not just due to the octane rating. There are better
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know, too,
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: that vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: your fuel choices around, say, every third tankful, you may
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: find better performance and miles per gallon because you are
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive. Just
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: don't tell your mechanic you're trying to replace them anytime soon.

  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:23
  Speaker 10: I raise a toast to all of us.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: You've been breaking our backs every day. I drink your health.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: If only good life is such a crime.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: But I don't want them to pull me away.
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: It's too good.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: So making America affordable again. It's Hakeem Jeffries' play on
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: the first 100 days if they win power. And this
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: is a cut. I haven't used the phrase here on
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Talk Media Network because I thought it was part of
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: the intellectual. It was one of those things David Letterman
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: couldn't call it the top 10 list. He had to
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: call it Dave's top 10 because the place he had
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: done his program before that said, no, that's our rights.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Contract law. Oh, what a world. But I was told
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: that no, no, no, it was not under intellectual property.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: So I could use some of the phraseology that I
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: used to use in the 17-year redacted window of my
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: radio career. That maybe someday we'll be able to unredact
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: and we can go back to those moments. Because I
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: would love to play you those hours and hours and
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: reams and reams of audio. that I can't mention, interviews
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: done with doctors and insurance executives, because one of the
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: points I made during the Obamacare buildup was this was
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: a gift to the insurance industry. I said, why are
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: we giving a gift? Why are we subsidizing and mandating
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: that you buy insurance. And I pointed out something from
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: my childhood. In New York State, where I grew up,
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: the insurance companies have to insure young drivers. They just
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: have to. It's the law. So they create what's called
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: an assigned risk pool. And the assigned risk pool is
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: basically a collection of money that is set aside to
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: pay insurance companies to cover young, grabastic drivers who are
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: going to screw up and have accidents at a greater
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: rate than adults, supposedly, allegedly, at least until you got
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: to be 25, and then somehow, mystically, those 25-year-olds became
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: so much better citizens, which, if you've ever been around
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: a congressional office, you'd probably argue. But tongue out of
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: cheek for a moment. I said, this is a subsidy
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: for the insurance industry. And here we are all these
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: years later talking about what can we do about this
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: insurance industry? 16 years, the insurance industry, and some of
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: them got out of the healthcare insurance world, but it
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: was the ultimate in government backdoor subsidy. So the governments
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: insist on that you and me pay for Obamacare, either
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: through the government-run exchange or by getting insurance from an
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: insurance company. And then what starts happening, again, flaw not feature,
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: feature not flaw, you tell me. Insurance companies start getting
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: out of the market because there are just too many
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: people filing too many claims. And so now you wind
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: up in some places with Blue Cross Blue Shield as
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: the only option for your insurance. And Blue Cross Blue
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: Shield says, well, if we're the only option and you
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: have to buy us, thus the reason that Congress passed
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: this Obamacare tax break, because they didn't want it to
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: be a tax in the first place. Now they have
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: to have a tax break for the tax they didn't
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: want to pass in the first place. but John Roberts
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: rewrote their homework for them. And so here we go
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: into 2026 where Hakeem Jeffries and these folks are campaigning
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: on fixing a broken healthcare system. First and foremost, by
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: reinstating the Obamacare tax breaks and then working on single
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: payer is what they're going to work on next because
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: they dragged us through the healthcare Overton window. We shrugged
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: after the 2008 election, and then by 2009, we're listening
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: to Nancy Pelosi tell us about having to pass something
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: before we can read it. So maybe, just maybe, like,
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: you know, started to happen right after that carpenter rabbi
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: from Galilee was... the ultimate victim of the ultimate loss,
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: as were his followers, at the hands of the Romans
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: who walked away saying, loser, big L on your forehead. And, well,
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: we showed them, didn't we? And it took a while.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: It took a lot of Christians going to the lions.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: And a lot of Romans saying, you know, they seem
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: pretty freaking brave about being, you know, mauled by a lion.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: How do they get that? And little by little, there's
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: not a magic formula. It doesn't happen overnight, but you win.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: You win by showing them how bad they are. You
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: win by showing the evil. And so you do that.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: You say, okay, we now have you where we want you, ostensibly.
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: And so the battle is back to Obamacare. Whose job
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: is it to pay for? And the same thing with tuition.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: How much are we subsidizing tuition? How much are we
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: subsidizing abortion? And we've discovered that subsidy is a great
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: way to do the things we can't legislate. So we
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: can't legislate a law that says everyone has to have
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: an abortion at least once in their life. You're only
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: allowed so many kids. We can't pass those laws. But
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: we'll subsidize the killing of babies. We'll subsidize you getting
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: a health care plan that isn't going to do anything
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: for you anyway, mostly so it will help us get
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: reelected when we need to, because we need to have
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: the bad guy. Yes, yes, right. Of course, then COVID hits.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: And all those insurance companies that went along for the
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: ride because it was all fun and games until somebody
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: spits COVID into your eye. Then they all wanted the
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: government to do something because now we're being hit with
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: this bioweapon. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm the only one who
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: calls it a bioweapon. Bioweapon to cripple our economy. And
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: it starts with the health care insurers. who are all
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: of a sudden getting hit with massive hospital stays and
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: respirators and things like, oh my God. So the president
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: had to, you know, go crystal knocked on us and
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: lock us down, tell us we're not allowed to be
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: out after midnight because that's when COVID prowls the streets
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: or whatever. And post-COVID, the healthcare industry is, more than
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: willing to play the fall guy to get the Democrats
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: that they give money to as well elected so they
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: can get out of this mess. They can go back
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: and take all these health care insurance policies out of
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: their portfolios so that their investors see a better return
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: on what they've paid in. And of course, it's good
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: to have low friends in high places. You say, well, Joe,
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: how can you defend this system then? Because this isn't
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: the system we were set up for. The ability of
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: the government to force you to buy something that you
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: wouldn't otherwise buy is nowhere, nowhere in the Constitution. Nowhere
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: in the Constitution, nowhere in political philosophy until 2010 and
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: John Roberts was the idea that the government could fine
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: you for not doing something. Look at the Virginia amendments.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: We're going to arrest people and put them in jail
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: for suggesting not having an abortion. Even just conversationally saying, hey,
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: are you sure you want to do this? I'm sorry,
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: that's six months in the lockup. That's 30 days in
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: the hole. Just because you said we've criminalized some of
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: these bizarre.
• 38:01
  Speaker 22: Can you believe with all the recent violent protests, looting,
• 38:05
  Speaker 22: and destruction, some areas are considering either defunding or abolishing
• 38:09
  Speaker 22: the police? At a time when America's neighborhoods need the
• 38:13
  Speaker 22: protection of police the most, some elected officials would rather
• 38:17
  Speaker 22: create more chaos by playing politics. If you're sick of
• 38:20
  Speaker 22: elected officials caving in to demands of the radical left,
• 38:24
  Speaker 22: you're not alone. It's time we stand up and declare

  Speaker 8: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 39:07
  Speaker 8: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 39:13
  Speaker 8: I'm Dr.
• 39:14
  Speaker 21: Mitch.
• 39:14
  Speaker 8: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 39:20
  Speaker 8: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 39:24
  Speaker 8: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 39:29
  Speaker 8: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 39:33
  Speaker 8: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 39:39
  Speaker 8: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or at
• 39:44

• 40:59
  Speaker 3: Hi, everybody.
• 40:59
  Speaker 18: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 41:01
  Speaker 18: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 41:05
  Speaker 18: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 41:06
  Speaker 18: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 41:09
  Speaker 18: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes.
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: Who work hard to provide for their young.
• 41:14
  Speaker 18: Or penguins, who travel up to 500 miles to secure.
• 41:17
  Speaker 23: Food for their families.
• 41:19
  Speaker 18: Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them to navigate
• 41:22
  Speaker 18: the trees and the wild in search of fruit. This
• 41:24
  Speaker 18: remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends, the canines.
• 41:28
  Speaker 18: We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home, but
• 41:30
  Speaker 18: because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving work
• 41:34
  Speaker 18: every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort
• 41:37
  Speaker 18: returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They work
• 41:39
  Speaker 18: with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in their
• 41:42
  Speaker 18: blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly trained
• 41:45
  Speaker 18: roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
• 41:48
  Speaker 18: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 41:51
  Speaker 18: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 41:53
  Speaker 18: planet we inhabit together. Go to americanhumane.org to learn more.
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 42:01
  Speaker 14: Oh, yeah?
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: And now a speech. I just want to say that
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: friendship is about heart. Heart and brain.
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: Who's with me?
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: call me a ride.
• 42:19
  Speaker 17: Love that guy.
• 42:20
  Speaker 20: Me too.
• 42:21
  Speaker 17: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 42:24
  Speaker 17: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 42:29
  Speaker 19: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 42:31
  Speaker 19: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 42:35
  Speaker 19: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 42:40
  Speaker 19: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 42:42
  Speaker 19: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 42:46
  Speaker 19: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 42:52
  Speaker 19: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 42:55
  Speaker 19: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 42:59
  Speaker 19: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 43:01
  Speaker 19: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 43:04
  Speaker 19: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 43:08
  Speaker 19: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 43:11
  Speaker 19: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 43:15
  Speaker 19: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 15: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 43:32
  Speaker 15: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 43:35
  Speaker 15: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 43:41
  Speaker 15: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 43:44
  Speaker 15: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories

• 44:12
  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:18
  Speaker 17: So I'm not really sure what.
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: I think the edifice that is.
• 44:24
  Speaker 6: The Obama museum.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: In, um, in Chicago, if it looks more like an
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: affordable housing complex, because remember, he used to be the
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: lawyer for what the Chicago sometimes referred to as the, quote,
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: worst slumlord in Chicago history. Or, I don't know, it
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: looks like sarcophagus or something, but out there, the Obama Library,
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: the Obama Museum on the side of the lake, looking
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: like somebody dropped a cinder block from a really big airplane.
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: And maybe that's the metaphor that we're supposed to take
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: from it. But remember, and I was struck by this
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: because a fellow, Delano Squires, works at the Heritage Foundation,
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: has just written a book called The Vanishing Black Family.
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: And we talk frequently about the Great Society of the
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: Fabian Marxists. But even beyond that, the beginning of the
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: technocrat movement, where all these folks in white shirts got
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: out from underneath their white sheets and started legislating things
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: like the Permanent Act for reapportionment to silence the black voices.
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: And damn it, this Martin Luther King guy came along,
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: kept talking. So now we need to silence more black voices.
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: And let's not forget Barack Obama on the subject of family.
• 46:17
  Speaker 7: I've got two daughters, nine years old and six years old.
• 46:20
  Speaker 7: I'm going to teach them, first of all, about values
• 46:23
  Speaker 7: and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don't
• 46:28
  Speaker 7: want them punished with a baby.
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: Punished with a baby. And I was struck by this
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: Delano Squire's was talking to my friend Scott Bertram, and
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: the reason he wrote the book was stunning.
• 46:44
  Speaker 23: Yeah, I write about feminism because what I say in
• 46:48
  Speaker 23: the chapter, in Chapter 3, is that second-wave feminists deceive
• 46:53
  Speaker 23: women into believing that femininity is weak, masculinity is toxic
• 46:58
  Speaker 23: in men but empowering in women, that marriage is oppressive,
• 47:01
  Speaker 23: the home is a prison, and children are a burden.
• 47:04
  Speaker 23: And those things have informed public policy. They've informed cultural
• 47:11
  Speaker 23: norms for the better part of 60 years.
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: And part of that is the public policy is that
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: once the public policy is there, you have to keep
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: with the public policy so that you can keep the
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: funding stream. This is what the government has realized. Rather
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: than pass legislation, we just pass funding streams. We don't
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: want to make a law banning a book, but we'll
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: make a law funding libraries that don't carry the book.
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: And it's an abomination, not obomination, but an abomination of
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: everything that this country was supposed to stand for. And
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: part of that is so that the young people, the youth,
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: will say the system is broken, that America is broken.
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: This isn't America. This is somebody's joke. This is the
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: Marxist saying the first thing we have to get the
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: American people to do is vote themselves out of power.
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: You know that a congressman or a senator, whatever implied
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: powers they carry from Alexander Hamilton's belt, aren't going anywhere
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: anytime soon because they've got money to make for the
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: people who have paid for them to get into these positions.
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: And they have their positions, their hands on the tiller
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: of power disproportionately, inappropriately, because we've let them. We've equated
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: money to the American dream. We debunked that myth yesterday.
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: American dream is about what you choose it to be.
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: Your American dream is different than my American dream. That's
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: different than Dr. Clark's, who wants to jump back in
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: on one of the tent poles of this agenda, the
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: Affordable Care Act, Clark.
• 49:14
  Speaker 20: Okay, so number one, the whole single-payer health care Yeah,
• 49:21
  Speaker 20: there's a single payer, and the government ain't got no money, Joe,
• 49:25
  Speaker 20: except for what they take from who?
• 49:27
  Speaker 21: The taxpayers.
• 49:28
  Speaker 20: So single payer is the taxpayer, okay? Now, let's look
• 49:33
  Speaker 20: at this just a minute.
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: You go to see Dr.
• 49:37
  Speaker 20: Salco. That's who I went to see the whole time
• 49:39
  Speaker 20: I was growing up. There was Dr. Salco, two nurses,
• 49:43
  Speaker 20: and a receptionist, okay?
• 49:45
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 49:46
  Speaker 20: Now, if my grandmother went to see Dr. Salco and
• 49:50
  Speaker 20: got an echocardiogram, it probably cost $ 50. You go to
• 49:55
  Speaker 20: the hospital and get the same thing, it's $ 300.
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: Well, wait.
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: It's single-payer.
• 50:01
  Speaker 20: What's the big deal? Well, back to number one, us,
• 50:05
  Speaker 20: the taxpayers, is paying that. And number two, there's the co-pay.
• 50:09
  Speaker 20: And your co-pay just went from $ 15 to $ 100.
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 50:14
  Speaker 20: How come it costs so much more at the hospital? Well,
• 50:20
  Speaker 20: they don't have two nurses and a receptionist. They have
• 50:24
  Speaker 20: layers and layers of administrators that need to get paid. Plus,
• 50:30
  Speaker 20: you've got the corporate entity there that does the whole thing.
• 50:34
  Speaker 20: They need to get their cut.
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: Now, to be fair, that corporation is organized as a 501c3.
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: So not only are they a corporation where the CEO
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: makes millions of dollars, but they're also nonprofit, which means
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: they don't pay taxes on all that.
• 50:51
  Speaker 20: Well, it's amazing how much nonprofits profited by the Affordable
• 50:56
  Speaker 20: Care Act.
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, absolutely. But we're supposed to go after Elon
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: Musk for being an evil oligarch. Well, you know, it's
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: Munchausen's by government. I used to use that term. We've
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: been able to rest it away. Lawyers tell me that
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: it was its public domain because I said that a
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: lot of times during my redacted part of my career.
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: But so we've brought it back. But we need to
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: say that I know triggers people. Because Munchausen's by proxy
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: is a real thing. Munchausen's disease is a real thing.
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: And Munchausen's by government syndrome is a real thing. They've
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: made us sick and now insist they're the only ones
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: who can make us better. And it's on the ballot.
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: Damn it. I'm not saying vote for Congressman X, but
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: vote against the ones that are telling you that after
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: making your life unaffordable, they're somehow going to mystically now
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: make it affordable again. It's like the abusive spouse that says,
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: you know, if you just had my dinner ready when
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: I got home on time, I wouldn't smack you around.
• 52:03
  Speaker 20: Well, you know, you stop and think about it for
• 52:07
  Speaker 20: a little while. The people ordering the tests, the people
• 52:11
  Speaker 20: performing the tests, the people prescribing the drugs, the people
• 52:16
  Speaker 20: making the drugs are The people paying your insurance bills,
• 52:20
  Speaker 20: the people you pay insurance premiums to, are probably all
• 52:26
  Speaker 20: at the very top, owned by the same corporate entities.
• 52:30
  Speaker 20: The only people not in on it are you and I, Joe.
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: And even the non-hospital related ones sit on the boards
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: of the hospitals to begin with. And that's a point
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: these folks, they'll say, well, there's way more doctors, but
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: fewer doctors' offices, to take up your point. Dr. Clark,
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: beware the affordability case.
• 52:51
  Speaker 19: You know, it's true.
• 52:52
  Speaker 24: Difficult times have a way of focusing us. We have
• 52:55
  Speaker 24: to think about what matters most when it comes to
• 52:57
  Speaker 24: our spending, our health care. This is why so many
