- 2:45Speaker 3: I'm finally you know, Trump Blanc de Blanc has, you know,
- 2:49Speaker 3: knocked me out and now I'm back.
- 2:52Speaker 5: It.
- 2:52Speaker 3: Got a text message a couple of days ago we
- 2:54Speaker 3: were talking about Trump Blanc de Blanc, my favorite sparkling wine.
- 2:59Speaker 3: Really it's bad as it's I like wine anyway. I'm
- 3:03Speaker 3: not necessarily a white wine guy, but this is a
- 3:06Speaker 3: dry white wine with his and so if you need
- 3:09Speaker 3: something Champagne esque to do it. But I received a
- 3:14Speaker 3: text message from Mary Anne who said, Joe, I think
- 3:18Speaker 3: it's ironic that a family that is loud and proud
- 3:23Speaker 3: about it's not drinking has a big winery. Why that
- 3:29Speaker 3: means they're not drinking their product. You know, I don't
- 3:31Speaker 3: and I don't know about Eric and Laura. They may
- 3:34Speaker 3: they may have a glass of wine or cider, but
- 3:37Speaker 3: they technically are the ones that own the winery here
- 3:41Speaker 3: in Central Virginia. And great folks Carrie Woldard who's just
- 3:44Speaker 3: an awesome operator, and I always forget the name of
- 3:48Speaker 3: the guy. I'll get it before the break is back there.
- 3:52Speaker 3: They're wine maker who's just award winning. I mean they
- 3:56Speaker 3: went into Napa Valley and kicked some Mars as well.
- 4:00Speaker 3: So it's all going on this morning, but we'll catch
- 4:02Speaker 3: you up. Don't fear not Fear not the talk radio
- 4:06Speaker 3: show host my bark is sometimes worse than my bite.
- 4:10Speaker 3: Swiss investigators. As we begin our first things this Friday morning.
- 4:14Speaker 3: Swiss investigators still probing what caused the fire in the
- 4:19Speaker 3: Lake Constellation bar in Crans, Montana, that left forty people
- 4:24Speaker 3: dead and another one hundred and fourteen people seriously injured.
- 4:30Speaker 3: At one thirty New Year's morning. As part of the
- 4:32Speaker 3: New Year's celebration was going on. President Donald Trump and
- 4:37Speaker 3: a top Iranian security official exchange dueling barbs over social
- 4:42Speaker 3: media this morning, as the economic protests swept across Iran,
- 4:50Speaker 3: Trump wrote on truth Social warning Iran that if it
- 4:54Speaker 3: quote violently kills peaceful protesters, the United States will come
- 4:58Speaker 3: to their rescue. Believe me, the United States knows what
- 5:01Speaker 3: a peaceful protester looks like. Right Shortly after, Ali Larijani,
- 5:07Speaker 3: a former parliament speaker who serves as Secretary of Iran's
- 5:11Speaker 3: Supreme National Security Council, alleged on his ex account yes
- 5:16Speaker 3: he has one, that the United States and Israel are
- 5:21Speaker 3: stroking the demonstrations. President Trump defended his energy and health
- 5:28Speaker 3: in an interview with The Wall Street Journal confirming a
- 5:31Speaker 3: report that Newsmax made several weeks ago that the President
- 5:35Speaker 3: didn't undergo an MRI but underwent a CT scan. Trump
- 5:39Speaker 3: said in the interview he regretted undergoing all the advanced
- 5:43Speaker 3: imaging on his heart and abdomen during October's checkup at
- 5:47Speaker 3: Walter Reid, saying it was used to raise public concerns
- 5:50Speaker 3: about his health. His physician said in a memo the
- 5:53Speaker 3: White House released in December that he had advanced imaging
- 5:57Speaker 3: as a preventative for a man of his age. Venezuela
- 6:03Speaker 3: President Nicholas Maduro says he is opened to negotiating an
- 6:07Speaker 3: agreement with the United States to combat drug trafficking coming
- 6:12Speaker 3: from his country. Thursday, on state run television, he declined
- 6:16Speaker 3: to comment on CIA led strikes last week at a
- 6:20Speaker 3: docking area that the administration believed was being used by cartels. Maduro,
- 6:25Speaker 3: in an interview with Spanish journalist Ignacio Romane, reiterated that
- 6:30Speaker 3: the US wants to force a government change in his country.
- 6:35Speaker 3: President Trump signed a New Year's proclamation postponing increased tariffs
- 6:40Speaker 3: on upholstered furniture, kitchen cabinets, and vanities for one year,
- 6:45Speaker 3: citing ongoing trade talks, and FBI Director Cash Ptel says
- 6:50Speaker 3: his investigators are getting closer to the source of the
- 6:53Speaker 3: Minnesota fraud and those are our first things this Friday morning.
- 7:02Speaker 7: Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
- 7:04Speaker 7: people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
- 7:08Speaker 7: to look into.
- 7:09Speaker 3: And that's meta share.
- 7:10Speaker 7: Maybe you've heard joining meta share can save you or
- 7:13Speaker 7: your family up to five hundred bucks a month, and
- 7:15Speaker 7: that's huge, but it's also true.
- 7:17Speaker 8: People are just happier with it.
- 7:18Speaker 7: They love being part of something that reflects and promotes
- 7:21Speaker 7: their values and what they believe in.
- 7:23Speaker 3: Meda Share works too.
- 7:25Speaker 7: It's been around for thirty years now and members have
- 7:28Speaker 7: shared more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills.
- 7:31Speaker 7: People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network.
- 7:35Speaker 7: So yeah, really, you can save a ton and like
- 7:37Speaker 7: it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
- 7:40Speaker 7: of your health care, whether you're self employed or part
- 7:43Speaker 7: of the gig economy, or you just want to plan
- 7:45Speaker 7: that you're happy with.
- 7:46Speaker 3: Here you go.
- 7:47Speaker 7: You can call right now and get a price within
- 7:49Speaker 7: two minutes, a very very smart use of two minutes.
- 7:52Speaker 7: Here's the number you need.
- 7:53Speaker 8: It's eight five to five share forty eight five five
- 7:56Speaker 8: share forty eight five five share.
- 8:04Speaker 9: Considered by most. Optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:08Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 8:13Speaker 9: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:19Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:23Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:27Speaker 9: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:32Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:37Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:43Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46Speaker 9: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51Speaker 9: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

- 10:01Speaker 11: Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
- 10:04Speaker 11: with animals. I'm not only in awe of their beauty
- 10:06Speaker 11: and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
- 10:09Speaker 11: at the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or
- 10:12Speaker 11: Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
- 10:15Speaker 11: or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
- 10:17Speaker 11: secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
- 10:21Speaker 11: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
- 10:23Speaker 11: in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
- 10:26Speaker 11: by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
- 10:29Speaker 11: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
- 10:32Speaker 11: they also perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep
- 10:35Speaker 11: us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of
- 10:38Speaker 11: whom suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them
- 10:41Speaker 11: when there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs
- 10:44Speaker 11: have a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to
- 10:46Speaker 11: society and help those in need. So please join me

- 11:11Speaker 3: art and brain. Who's with me?

- 13:09Speaker 1: The first thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk
- 13:15Speaker 1: Media Network.
- 13:23Speaker 3: You know, you know, I couldn't help myself when I
- 13:33Speaker 3: was doing Steve Morier last night talking about the tariffs
- 13:37Speaker 3: on upholstered furniture and custom kitchens, I said, somebody, cue
- 13:41Speaker 3: Dire Straits. What's with Dire Straits? By the way, why
- 13:45Speaker 3: am I reading like half a dozen hit pieces on
- 13:48Speaker 3: how horrible it was to be in the band Dire
- 13:51Speaker 3: Straits and how Mark Knopfler was a dictator? And did
- 13:56Speaker 3: he somehow did I miss a tweet or something from
- 14:00Speaker 3: Ark Knopfler saying he liked Donald Trump. Because this kind
- 14:03Speaker 3: of attack on somebody, it's just out of freaking left field.
- 14:07Speaker 3: It has been my experience usually comes right after somebody,
- 14:11Speaker 3: oh I don't know, appears at the Kennedy Trump Center
- 14:14Speaker 3: and performs or something. Oh go get him. This just
- 14:21Speaker 3: it's crazy making And I apologies on behalf of a
- 14:25Speaker 3: war weary world for you just trying to get your
- 14:29Speaker 3: Friday on, trying to cram some productivity into the middle
- 14:33Speaker 3: of the day. Maybe you watched all the football yesterday
- 14:36Speaker 3: they saved. What'd you if there was truly somebody pulling
- 14:41Speaker 3: all the strings behind the scenes. By the way, don't
- 14:46Speaker 3: do that in the last game of the day with
- 14:49Speaker 3: the kick and a sixty five yard field goal and
- 14:51Speaker 3: the guy catches it in the end zone and it's
- 14:54Speaker 3: a safety, and you know it's the last second of
- 14:58Speaker 3: the game, and you know, the underdog all of a sudden,
- 15:03Speaker 3: you know, gets ahead. And because the first two games
- 15:09Speaker 3: were routes and on behalf of Harrisonburg, Virginia, one of
- 15:14Speaker 3: our flagship cities, I want to point out that James
- 15:19Speaker 3: Madison scored a hell of a lot more points on
- 15:22Speaker 3: Oregon than Texas Tech. Did. I mean, I'm just saying
- 15:27Speaker 3: faster than you can say, Johnny Manzel. I mean, at
- 15:32Speaker 3: least James Madison hung thirty four on the Ducks. Texas
- 15:38Speaker 3: Tech couldn't even find the end zone. And I'm not
- 15:40Speaker 3: trying to be mean. I'm just saying everyone was slagging
- 15:43Speaker 3: the admission of somebody like James Madison University into the
- 15:48Speaker 3: college football playoffs, and what an affront it was, and
- 15:52Speaker 3: it was for the blue bloods. I'm telling you you
- 15:56Speaker 3: fix it with my idea. And the more I think
- 15:58Speaker 3: about this idea, and it really was, it was an epiphany.
- 16:01Speaker 3: We were talking with Mac and again, if you were away,
- 16:04Speaker 3: I get it. A couple of days ago we were
- 16:06Speaker 3: talking about this with Mac and all the transfer portal stuff.
- 16:09Speaker 3: John Caller Parry you know, went off on it, probably
- 16:13Speaker 3: because a lot of the stuff that's legal now got
- 16:16Speaker 3: him sanctioned years ago. But talking about all these athletes
- 16:20Speaker 3: and the transfer portal basketball and football, and I said,
- 16:24Speaker 3: we're doing it wrong. Don't classify the athletes that play
- 16:29Speaker 3: football or basketball or even baseball for your school as students.
- 16:34Speaker 3: Classify them in the same way you would classify a
- 16:38Speaker 3: famous professor that would come. Let's let's say you signed
- 16:43Speaker 3: some you know, famous author or poet or biochemist to
- 16:50Speaker 3: come and lead your biochemistry department. The little Pfiser logo
- 16:56Speaker 3: on the side of the building I got. I'm only
- 17:00Speaker 3: a little kidding with the idea of being that this recruits,
- 17:08Speaker 3: this makes more money for the school. If you have
- 17:11Speaker 3: famous professors who write best selling books that their students
- 17:15Speaker 3: have to buy for one hundred dollars a pop in
- 17:20Speaker 3: order to take the class that they've come to the
- 17:22Speaker 3: school for athletes do the same thing. These athletes are marketers.
- 17:28Speaker 3: They're playing ball to get your school on national television.
- 17:34Speaker 3: So some kid in Idaho and Sandpoint, Idaho is sitting
- 17:39Speaker 3: there saying, huh, maybe I want to go to Texas Tech,
- 17:45Speaker 3: or maybe I wouldn't mind going to James Madison University.
- 17:48Speaker 3: I like James Madison. I'm warning you, we're still trying
- 17:54Speaker 3: to work on James Madison University. Living up to the guy,
- 17:57Speaker 3: James Madison, but work in proper and it wasn't founded
- 18:03Speaker 3: by him. University of Virginia was founded by Thomas Jefferson.
- 18:06Speaker 3: But if you're in Sandpoint, you're thinking about it. That's
- 18:10Speaker 3: the point of these games is it's an advertisement for
- 18:15Speaker 3: the college. Come here because we've got a great Final
- 18:20Speaker 3: four basketball team. So just hire the best athletes you
- 18:27Speaker 3: can to play ball for your school, just the same
- 18:30Speaker 3: way you would hire the best professors to teach engineering
- 18:35Speaker 3: or law or whatever. Because it's serving the same economic purpose.
- 18:44Speaker 3: So pretending we're going to find gifted student athletes amongst
- 18:49Speaker 3: you just the happenstance of a student body, or give
- 18:55Speaker 3: up the whole idea that it's a free marketing tool
- 19:00Speaker 3: to put your school out on national television. And I'm
- 19:04Speaker 3: not I'm not a curmudgeon, I'm a billing. I'm saying,
- 19:08Speaker 3: at least admit what it is. And when I when
- 19:14Speaker 3: I mentioned that, and if you haven't heard me say that,
- 19:16Speaker 3: this was three four days ago. Mac mac was doing
- 19:20Speaker 3: his notebook report and we were talking about Cala Parry's
- 19:26Speaker 3: complaints and Nick Saban and the University of Virginia basketball coach,
- 19:31Speaker 3: national champion Tony Bennett, all these guys who are kind
- 19:34Speaker 3: of trying to figure out what happens next with everybody.
- 19:38Speaker 3: And we mentioned James Madison, literally everyone from the football
- 19:43Speaker 3: team that was of any you know, the quarterback, the
- 19:46Speaker 3: running back, the defensive lineman, the linebackers, all the star
- 19:49Speaker 3: players have entered the transfer portal. Why UCLA hired the
- 19:54Speaker 3: coach away And I'll bet you they're all going to UCLA,
- 19:58Speaker 3: just like half of Penn State got an to the
- 20:00Speaker 3: transfer portal and they're going to Virginia Tech. And you know,
- 20:06Speaker 3: just just the fact that they're holding old myths together.
- 20:09Speaker 3: And like I said, you know, guys, do the dramatic
- 20:13Speaker 3: stuff earlier in the day. Don't wait till late at
- 20:15Speaker 3: night to have these you know, last second fourth quarter
- 20:19Speaker 3: comeback victories for the underdog out of Mississippi. Our friends
- 20:23Speaker 3: down there in Pascagoula their partying this morning, but with
- 20:31Speaker 3: the whole Lane Kiffin thing going on there. You know,
- 20:35Speaker 3: if they win the national title while their coaches in
- 20:37Speaker 3: the midst of packing the bags, that's that's saying something.
- 20:41Speaker 3: That's that's not nothing. But these these athletic achievements are
- 20:46Speaker 3: supposed to inspire us to find ways past our own
- 20:50Speaker 3: travails in the morning, because there are many weeks. If
- 20:54Speaker 3: you're just coming out from two weeks worth of holidays,
- 20:58Speaker 3: you may feel like you're down in the fourth quarter
- 21:00Speaker 3: and you're the underdog, and you're supposed to think, hey,
- 21:03Speaker 3: if old miss can pull this off over Georgia, then
- 21:10Speaker 3: maybe I can get that presentation together. This is the
- 21:14Speaker 3: whole point of athletics in our American society. They're metaphors,
- 21:24Speaker 3: but they're also advertising vehicles, advertising vehicles for your university,
- 21:29Speaker 3: which is, okay, I'm not the people. Oh, that's horrible
- 21:33Speaker 3: for you to say. No, it's not. It's what's going on.
- 21:36Speaker 3: It's being honest about what's going on. In the same way,

- 29:58Speaker 3: need to get into Golden Silver, and you call our
- 30:01Speaker 3: friends at jcsgol dot com. That's that's how it works.

- 30:34Speaker 3: we do it by doing a good radio program that

- 30:44Speaker 3: happy on Saturdays, even if you don't win the national championship.
- 30:49Speaker 3: You feel good about your alma mater, where you went
- 30:52Speaker 3: to school or where you're currently going to school, or
- 30:56Speaker 3: your state in general, politics is the same way. You know,
- 31:04Speaker 3: that first Wednesday in November, things were a little salty
- 31:10Speaker 3: for our listeners in New Jersey and Virginia. Not a
- 31:14Speaker 3: happy morning if you tie your happiness to which political
- 31:18Speaker 3: party wins. And yeah, when you listen to Zefad mad Money,
- 31:22Speaker 3: the new mayor of New York, talking about I'm not
- 31:25Speaker 3: moderating myself. Hell no, I'm rocking into the socialism baby,
- 31:35Speaker 3: and you know, hey, bless him. It's not like people
- 31:40Speaker 3: didn't warn you. And then you got Mike Lawler out
- 31:43Speaker 3: there warning about nine to eleven connections.
- 31:46Speaker 23: It's stunning that this is where we are as we
- 31:50Speaker 23: approached the twenty fifth anniversary of the attacks of September eleventh.
- 31:55Speaker 23: He just appointed as his chief counsel an attorney who
- 32:00Speaker 23: presented nine to eleven linked Al Qaeda terrorists. His first
- 32:05Speaker 23: act today was to repeal executive orders issued by Eric Adams,
- 32:11Speaker 23: including defining anti Semitism and ensuring that departments and agencies
- 32:18Speaker 23: enforce that definition.
- 32:23Speaker 3: And you know, but at least Zafod mad Money is
- 32:29Speaker 3: so far being exactly who he told everyone he was
- 32:33Speaker 3: going to be. And you look at the voter turnout,
- 32:36Speaker 3: and you look at the mad scramble election process, the
- 32:40Speaker 3: ranked choice voting that chose the guy. I don't think
- 32:46Speaker 3: ranked choice voting doesn't play a big role in how
- 32:49Speaker 3: Zefod mad Money becomes the mayor of New York. Because
- 32:53Speaker 3: once you're the nominee of the Democratic Party, you've got
- 32:56Speaker 3: a pretty odds on chance. And it was a lot
- 32:59Speaker 3: closer than most people would have figured to be the mayor.
- 33:04Speaker 3: And this is a job where you know, we mischaracterize things,
- 33:08Speaker 3: but I've watched members of the US House of Representatives
- 33:12Speaker 3: leave their office in exchange for being Mayor of New York.
- 33:16Speaker 3: It's more important to a lot of people. And this
- 33:20Speaker 3: is a city. I know, you're coming down ninety five
- 33:25Speaker 3: out of Greenwich listening to us on fourteen ninety, and
- 33:28Speaker 3: you know, if you're there in Westchester, you're like, I
- 33:30Speaker 3: don't want to talk about New York. Well, listen. In
- 33:33Speaker 3: nineteen seventy six, Westchester was going to be the big beneficiary.
- 33:39Speaker 3: You know, the folks listening to us on fourteen ninety
- 33:42Speaker 3: in Greenwich, this could be the golden age New York
- 33:47Speaker 3: Stock Exchange moves out. That was what they were going
- 33:50Speaker 3: to do in nineteen seventy six, seventy seven, they were
- 33:53Speaker 3: going to move out and move to up by Hewlett
- 33:56Speaker 3: Packard there, and was it purchase purchase in New York?
- 34:03Speaker 3: It's like flushing New York. What do you think of
- 34:05Speaker 3: flushing New York? I think it's a good idea. What
- 34:07Speaker 3: do you think of purchase New York? I think someone
- 34:09Speaker 3: has in New York Stock Exchange. And then of course
- 34:17Speaker 3: all the pilot fish banks and investment firms are going
- 34:20Speaker 3: to move out to Westchester. You guys are going to
- 34:22Speaker 3: be the third fourth biggest city in America and you're
- 34:25Speaker 3: going to be outside of a rotting husk of my hometown.
- 34:32Speaker 3: But it'll be socialists, So what will happen? And I
- 34:36Speaker 3: warned people about this as well prior to the election,
- 34:39Speaker 3: not that I care one way or the other, but
- 34:41Speaker 3: this is what you get with ranked choice voting. So
- 34:44Speaker 3: all you have to do is is game the ranked
- 34:47Speaker 3: choice to get the Democratic or Republican in some places nomination.
- 34:55Speaker 3: And it's almost a foregone conclusion. If it wasn't for
- 34:58Speaker 3: Eric Adams, and god, I can't believe I'm saying that
- 35:01Speaker 3: Andrew Cuomo nipping pardon me at his heels, it could
- 35:08Speaker 3: have even been a bigger runaway. But what did like
- 35:14Speaker 3: twenty five percent of all New Yorkers participate in the
- 35:16Speaker 3: ranked choice voting to pick the nominee and he still
- 35:21Speaker 3: barely beat out Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo. But you know,
- 35:26Speaker 3: ranked choice voting does this kind of stuff. You know,
- 35:28Speaker 3: Cuomo and Adams canceled each other out, and zey fod
- 35:33Speaker 3: mad Money snuck in the back door hardly not Shay
- 35:40Speaker 3: Guavara helping the Castro brothers take over Cuba. But he's
- 35:48Speaker 3: going to go after wealth, and he's going to go
- 35:50Speaker 3: after wealth wherever it goes. And we've had democratic socialists
- 35:55Speaker 3: in New York. In Charlottesville, we've already had a Democratics
- 36:00Speaker 3: socialist mayor. I know what it looks like. I watched
- 36:04Speaker 3: these democratic socialists operate here in central Virginia. What happens
- 36:08Speaker 3: when businesses leave? They find ways and watch all the
- 36:12Speaker 3: late night votes in city hall, watch for a legislation
- 36:17Speaker 3: that will allow them to create economic zones. And they'll
- 36:22Speaker 3: all have focused group tested phrases. Oh, it's just a
- 36:31Speaker 3: New York metropolitan economic zone. Who could be against that? Well,
- 36:34Speaker 3: what it'll do is it creates an overlay that'll reach
- 36:37Speaker 3: probably half the way to Poughkeepsie and nor Walk and Dover,
- 36:50Speaker 3: New Jersey, so that any business that moves out of
- 36:54Speaker 3: New York City is still going to be considered part
- 36:56Speaker 3: of this economic zone, and they'll use the Port authority
- 36:59Speaker 3: of New York and New Jersey is some folk room
- 37:02Speaker 3: to say we have this multi state jurisdictional power, and
- 37:06Speaker 3: nobody in New Jersey or New York is going to
- 37:09Speaker 3: want to do you think Chris Murphy and Connecticut's going
- 37:12Speaker 3: to stand up for you and zey fod mad Money
- 37:15Speaker 3: will create this zone where you can't run far enough
- 37:19Speaker 3: from New York and their taxation, because he's going to
- 37:23Speaker 3: need to go get you own money in order for
- 37:26Speaker 3: the social programs his government. Grocery stores aren't going to
- 37:29Speaker 3: fill themselves, well, they're probably not going to get filled
- 37:32Speaker 3: at all, if Moscow grocery stores during the Soviet Union
- 37:36Speaker 3: were any example. So watch out for those late night
- 37:42Speaker 3: votes about economic zones and things like that. Those are
- 37:45Speaker 3: the phrases to be watching as the socialist takes over
- 37:49Speaker 3: in America's biggest city. If you know, at least you
- 37:57Speaker 3: know he's not going to kill the pig than his
- 38:00Speaker 3: religion anyway, In.

- 43:30Speaker 14: Yeah?
- 43:30Speaker 7: I'm pretty sober.
- 43:33Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
- 43:35Speaker 4: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
- 43:39Speaker 4: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,

- 44:09Speaker 1: The first thing today by Joe Thomas on the TUNK
- 44:16Speaker 1: Media Network All natural them and free of artificial intelligence moichandizing.
- 44:35Speaker 3: You know, they sued because Sting was actually the guy
- 44:43Speaker 3: who did the MTV logo thing anyway they like. And
- 44:49Speaker 3: then I think it was in the court preceding somebody
- 44:53Speaker 3: what a little lawyer's pointed. I was like, you, you
- 44:54Speaker 3: realize every radio station in America is playing this song
- 44:58Speaker 3: marketing your TV music platform. Jerry writes into four three
- 45:06Speaker 3: four eight A two four two one seven on the
- 45:09Speaker 3: subject of custom kitchens and other things that aren't going
- 45:13Speaker 3: to be tariffed. Joe, why is President Trump even concerned
- 45:17Speaker 3: with tariffing these products? These are the kind of things
- 45:21Speaker 3: that drive me crazy because this is making it more
- 45:25Speaker 3: inaffordable for every day Americans. Well, he's tariffing products that
- 45:30Speaker 3: aren't made in the United States, Jerry. That's the problem
- 45:35Speaker 3: is that I'm sure he would like to see more
- 45:38Speaker 3: custom kitchens made in the United States and employ people
- 45:43Speaker 3: in the United States. And you can say, wow, I
- 45:45Speaker 3: don't want to work there. There's a there's a bigger
- 45:48Speaker 3: economic problem with people who don't want to work in
- 45:51Speaker 3: jobs because those companies have become so disconnected from their workforce.
- 45:58Speaker 3: And I would also argue that customer base that you see.
- 46:03Speaker 3: And I drew this analogy on New Year's Evos talking
- 46:06Speaker 3: to my sons, and I said, look at Starbucks and Walmart,
- 46:13Speaker 3: both national chains, both decentralized, not necessarily locally operated, right,
- 46:20Speaker 3: so you know you can make an apt comparison between
- 46:23Speaker 3: the two. Every single Starbucks you come across is turning
- 46:30Speaker 3: into a union shop. It's like the modern American coal mine.
- 46:35Speaker 3: And I love listening to these folks who talk about
- 46:38Speaker 3: unionizing their Starbucks, like these are miners who are looking
- 46:41Speaker 3: for healthcare benefits to fight black lung. Get over yourselves.
- 46:47Speaker 3: You make coffee, but you make coffee for jackasses who
- 46:52Speaker 3: treat their employees like chaff. So they get unionized. Walmart
- 46:59Speaker 3: not so much. And they go on and the unions
- 47:05Speaker 3: every day twenty four to seven. It's the great white
- 47:08Speaker 3: elephant that they're they're trying to hunt down is to
- 47:12Speaker 3: unionize Walmart. Yet for some reason, Walmart manages its stores better,
- 47:18Speaker 3: so their employees are like, you know what, I don't
- 47:20Speaker 3: need to join your union. And that's how you know
- 47:24Speaker 3: this is this is the difference we're facing.
- 47:26Speaker 26: It.
- 47:26Speaker 3: It isn't even about big centralized little thing. Just come
- 47:31Speaker 3: back to the United States and work, but work for
- 47:34Speaker 3: people who don't treat you like squad. Work for people
- 47:37Speaker 3: who inspire you. Work for people who make you want
- 47:40Speaker 3: to get up in the morning, and you know, put
- 47:43Speaker 3: commercials on somebody's radio show or something. I mean, just
- 47:47Speaker 3: saying hey, let me get to you at four three
- 47:49Speaker 3: four eight eight two four two one seven. That's the
- 47:53Speaker 3: phone number. You can also text message to it like
- 47:55Speaker 3: Jerry did, and emails come into jt in Morning Radio
- 48:01Speaker 3: at gmail dot com. Good morning, You're on the air
- 48:04Speaker 3: with Joe. First thing this morning. Who's this Good morning Joe,
- 48:07Speaker 3: It's Joel. Happy New Year, Joel, how are you doing today, sir?
- 48:11Speaker 6: Happy New Year. I'm okay. I wanted to comment, I'm
- 48:14Speaker 6: glad you started with well, not started with but you
- 48:17Speaker 6: you know, did a big meet out on Mandami. And
- 48:20Speaker 6: when I noticed, I could only tolerate maybe about five
- 48:24Speaker 6: or seven minutes of watching him. It was like it
- 48:27Speaker 6: was like watching a Kamala or or Hillary, you know,
- 48:31Speaker 6: and all the all the lies are spewing out of
- 48:33Speaker 6: their mouth their pie hole. But I wanted to say
- 48:37Speaker 6: this when I looked at the crowd the so called
- 48:41Speaker 6: you know, city hall, the empty, deserted hallway there, I
- 48:46Speaker 6: looked at the splitting people, and it looks like there's
- 48:49Speaker 6: a lot of blue hair, you know, elderly people there,
- 48:52Speaker 6: and then a lot of young I don't really see
- 48:54Speaker 6: any in between, you know. It really didn't look like
- 48:57Speaker 6: there's anybody middle aged and under. Yeah, exactly. And I
- 49:04Speaker 6: wonder if a lot of those are like the old
- 49:07Speaker 6: you know, socialist hippies that were there, the older people
- 49:10Speaker 6: that were crying for oh yeah, everything's gonna be free,
- 49:13Speaker 6: We're gonna be commune, and everything's gonna we can have
- 49:16Speaker 6: everything handed to us. We don't have to work for it.
- 49:18Speaker 6: We can you know, get up and just you know,
- 49:21Speaker 6: the world's gonna be okay. And and and that was
- 49:24Speaker 6: one thing I noticed. And then to me, it was
- 49:27Speaker 6: like the the Great kool Aid, you know, like he's
- 49:32Speaker 6: bringing people in with that magic punch, you know, and
- 49:36Speaker 6: they're all they've all drank it, and they're and they're
- 49:38Speaker 6: in that that that poisoned or that drunken state. And yeah,
- 49:45Speaker 6: and I'm wondering too because you have Kathy Hochel, who's
- 49:50Speaker 6: another kook. But she's like, no, no, no, I'm not
- 49:53Speaker 6: gonna I'm not gonna be given any of that money
- 49:55Speaker 6: because what she's wealthy too.
- 49:58Speaker 3: But how how bad does somebody have to be to
- 50:00Speaker 3: make Kathy Hokel sound like the conservative voice in New York.
- 50:04Speaker 3: I mean, oh exactly, that's my point. That's scary. But
- 50:08Speaker 3: think about this. Do the arithmetic. So a sixty five
- 50:12Speaker 3: year old was born in nineteen sixty, which means when
- 50:17Speaker 3: he was or she was twenty five, kind of just
- 50:20Speaker 3: getting into their full adulthood. It was the early to
- 50:24Speaker 3: mid eighties, and faster than you can say, Tom Wolf,
- 50:28Speaker 3: this is the bonfire of the Vanities generation. Those blue
- 50:33Speaker 3: hairs that you saw, these were the folks who were,
- 50:37Speaker 3: you know, living fast and hoping to leave a good
- 50:39Speaker 3: looking corpse. Guess what, that didn't work out. Now they
- 50:42Speaker 3: want healthcare to keep them from becoming ever a corpse.
- 50:46Speaker 3: But these were the This was the cocaine and champagne
- 50:50Speaker 3: crowd of the early eighties in New York. It was
- 50:53Speaker 3: Wall Street, it was corporate raiders, it was pension funds
- 50:57Speaker 3: being raided. And now their face the other end of
- 51:01Speaker 3: the clock and they're like, I can't afford any healthcare
- 51:05Speaker 3: because I didn't save any of my money because I
- 51:08Speaker 3: sniffed it all up my nose. And I'm making a
- 51:12Speaker 3: course generalization, but that early eighties in New York, the
- 51:16Speaker 3: day trading and the Wolf of was I've talked about
- 51:21Speaker 3: Eric Adams being my classmate. Jordan Belfort was a classmate
- 51:25Speaker 3: of mine at Bayside High School. I know this is
- 51:27Speaker 3: my generation. These are the people like, uh, look at
- 51:30Speaker 3: all the money I can make and it's all gone.
- 51:34Speaker 3: And now they're looking at some bad numbers and they're like, oh,
- 51:38Speaker 3: the magic Muslims going to give us everything, and he's
- 51:42Speaker 3: going to, you know, do the Bernie Sanders magic trick,
- 51:46Speaker 3: and nobody's going to get anything out of it, but
- 51:48Speaker 3: it'll be too late for them to do anything about
- 51:50Speaker 3: it when it when they realize it.
- 51:53Speaker 6: And the other part of the equation is, Joe, I
- 51:55Speaker 6: was born in sixty two, so I guess I'm part
- 51:58Speaker 6: of that group too. But the other part of the
- 52:00Speaker 6: equation is is you have what about all these unions,
- 52:04Speaker 6: you have police and fire I mean, do you think
- 52:07Speaker 6: they're gonna respond fast if something's happening to Mandami? I
- 52:11Speaker 6: don't know. You know, you think it's confed.
- 52:14Speaker 3: I know too many people who go into law enforcement
- 52:17Speaker 3: fire protection in New York. I mean, you don't do that,
- 52:21Speaker 3: you know.
- 52:21Speaker 6: I don't mean it. I don't mean it in a
- 52:23Speaker 6: bad way. I don't mean it in a bad way.
- 52:25Speaker 3: But the blue flu was a real thing. That was
- 52:29Speaker 3: a real that was invented in the seventies. When with
- 52:32Speaker 3: the unions and work, I don't know what kind of
- 52:36Speaker 3: battles he's going to have with the sanitation workers unions
- 52:40Speaker 3: if we're going to really have a seventies reunion going
- 52:43Speaker 3: on in New York with piles of trash on the
- 52:45Speaker 3: road and everything. But good, good questions, Joel, I appreciate it,
- 52:48Speaker 3: my friend.
- 52:50Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, because he's gonna try.
- 52:52Speaker 26: My name is Bobby.
- 52:53Speaker 4: I'm a veteran and lost my leg to a roadside bomb.
- 52:56Speaker 15: My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a
