- 0:47Speaker 5: We will tell you what went on last night. We
- 0:49Speaker 5: will tell you our analysis of what went on last night.
- 0:53Speaker 5: But most importantly, I want to know how what went
- 0:55Speaker 5: on last night impacts you where you are, even if
- 0:58Speaker 5: that's not at all, Joe, not at all. This email
- 1:04Speaker 5: on the clip. The clip is President Trump yesterday evening
- 1:08Speaker 5: on the way to Marine one talking about the release
- 1:13Speaker 5: of seven years' worth of interactions between former Treasury Secretary
- 1:18Speaker 5: and president of HOBBD Larry Summers with Jeffrey Epstein. Because
- 1:26Speaker 5: everyone's saying Trump Trump Trump, Trump, trump trump Trump, Epstein's
- 1:29Speaker 5: whatever and reasonable text message This one from Dean saying
- 1:33Speaker 5: you know, why, why is this not a distraction from
- 1:37Speaker 5: what is truly happening, Joe, you said it yourself, what
- 1:42Speaker 5: decisions are being made and corrupted because secrets need to
- 1:48Speaker 5: be kept about epstein island. Why won't you bring up
- 1:54Speaker 5: the possibility that he is an IDF or massad plant.
- 1:58Speaker 5: Why is everyone saying he's CIA guy or a KGB guy. Well,
- 2:05Speaker 5: you know part of it, and I get your point.
- 2:07Speaker 9: And.
- 2:09Speaker 5: They're an agency that would want certainly decisions made on
- 2:12Speaker 5: their behalf. I'm not saying that they're not, but I
- 2:16Speaker 5: blanche against the idea that the only reason and this
- 2:19Speaker 5: is part of it. And I don't know if you're
- 2:21Speaker 5: picking up on the same narrative that the only reason
- 2:24Speaker 5: anyone supports Israel in anything is because Jeffrey Epstein has
- 2:29Speaker 5: got dirty pictures of us at his horrific island of horrors.
- 2:36Speaker 5: Because if that's your thought on it, I have to disagree.
- 2:42Speaker 5: But we can talk about that beyond the Jeffrey Epstein stuff.
- 2:47Speaker 5: But there's too much of the you know who was
- 2:50Speaker 5: pulling Jeffrey Epstein strings that winds up in a place
- 2:54Speaker 5: where we're saying that the only reason the United States
- 2:58Speaker 5: supports Israel is because as Jeffrey Epstein has taken all
- 3:01Speaker 5: of our leaders to his Perverts Island. Charles writes in
- 3:08Speaker 5: is it really true that quote some people did something
- 3:12Speaker 5: at Epstein Island, hearkening back to a comment Ilhan Omar
- 3:20Speaker 5: made about September eleventh, two thousand and one, for example,
- 3:25Speaker 5: pete on the bed Bill Clinton used at the Epstein hideaway.
- 3:29Speaker 10: Just curious.
- 3:30Speaker 5: Oh so, Charles, your question is is this where Michael
- 3:35Speaker 5: Michael Steele. We just refer to it as the Steele dossier. Now,
- 3:42Speaker 5: if Crossfire Hurricane got the idea of peeing on somebody
- 3:45Speaker 5: else's bed from Epstein Island, interesting, interesting question for the
- 3:52Speaker 5: inquiring minds. Will they be asked? Will they be asked
- 3:56Speaker 5: in public testimony? That is more indicative of who was
- 4:03Speaker 5: behind the scheme and who benefited from it more than
- 4:07Speaker 5: anything else. So our first things this morning, Larry Summers,
- 4:12Speaker 5: former president of Harvard University and Bill Clinton's Treasury secretary,
- 4:17Speaker 5: announced he will be stepping back from his public commitments,
- 4:20Speaker 5: telling the Harvard Crimson that it's part of an effort
- 4:24Speaker 5: to quote, rebuild trust and repair relationships with the people
- 4:29Speaker 5: closest to me. This comes on the heels of seven
- 4:33Speaker 5: years worth of correspondence between Summers and Jeffrey Epstein from
- 4:38Speaker 5: the United States Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. We
- 4:43Speaker 5: have unconfirmed reports that the release came with a note
- 4:46Speaker 5: saying you asked. President Donald Trump said Monday Americans could
- 4:51Speaker 5: be seeing checks from the tariff benefits as soon as
- 4:55Speaker 5: next year, promising that hundreds of millions of dollars in
- 4:58Speaker 5: tariff money would be distributed as dividends by mid twenty
- 5:03Speaker 5: twenty six. Dearborn, Michigan Mayor Abdullah Hamoud has made a
- 5:09Speaker 5: public statement two months after the citizens began complaining in
- 5:15Speaker 5: the Michigan city over early morning calls to prayer over
- 5:19Speaker 5: loudspeakers from area mosques. Hamoud insisted that the call to
- 5:25Speaker 5: prayer is kept under a certain decibel level and that
- 5:29Speaker 5: is allowed by city ordnance and has been, in his words,
- 5:33Speaker 5: part of dearborn life for decades. A Turkish tanker was
- 5:39Speaker 5: hit in the sea off of Odessa in Ukraine yesterday.
- 5:44Speaker 10: The boat was.
- 5:46Speaker 5: Set on fire and evacuations were taken across the Danube
- 5:51Speaker 5: River into Romania. It came just a day after Ukrainian
- 5:55Speaker 5: President Zelenski signed a deal to import US liquefied now
- 6:00Speaker 5: natural gas from Greece through that area. President Trump endorsing
- 6:06Speaker 5: the push to release all the Epstein files. House Republicans
- 6:10Speaker 5: like Jim Jordan of Ohio and James Comer of Kentucky
- 6:13Speaker 5: are quickly moving to release more than just the Larry
- 6:16Speaker 5: Summers tapes. The UN Security Council Monday voted to adopt
- 6:21Speaker 5: the US resolution endorsing that Trump planned to end the
- 6:26Speaker 5: war in Gaza and authorizing an international stabilization force for
- 6:31Speaker 5: the Palestinian Enclave. The text of the resolution says member
- 6:35Speaker 5: states will take part in the Board of Peace, envisioned
- 6:38Speaker 5: as a transitional authority for reconstruction and economic recovery. It
- 6:44Speaker 5: passed thirteen votes to zero, with Russia and China abstaining
- 6:49Speaker 5: and docrmentent Ozz says that as many as four million
- 6:52Speaker 5: people are getting benefits or subsidy from Obamacare illegally. Those
- 6:59Speaker 5: are some of our first things.
- 7:01Speaker 11: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
- 7:05Speaker 11: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
- 7:07Speaker 12: It was medishare that came through for us and there
- 7:10Speaker 12: was no hassles, there was no problem.
- 7:12Speaker 11: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
- 7:16Speaker 11: of such an incredible ministry.
- 7:17Speaker 13: Meta Share is a Biblical approach to healthcare where Christians
- 7:21Speaker 13: share each other's medical expenses.
- 7:23Speaker 14: Medishare is a family, a group of people that stick
- 7:28Speaker 14: with you through the hardest times of your life.
- 7:30Speaker 13: Metashare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over thirty years
- 7:34Speaker 13: old and members have shared over eight billion dollars of
- 7:37Speaker 13: each other's medical bills.
- 7:39Speaker 4: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
- 7:41Speaker 4: You can focus on on supporting other people. Medashare is affordable.
- 7:45Speaker 15: Medishare is biblical.
- 7:46Speaker 16: Medishare is family.

- 8:03Speaker 15: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
- 8:07Speaker 4: Yes?
- 8:08Speaker 15: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
- 8:13Speaker 15: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
- 8:18Speaker 15: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.

- 8:28Speaker 15: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 8:32Speaker 15: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this

- 9:53Speaker 18: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
- 9:56Speaker 18: of an infection that can spread from person to person.

- 12:52Speaker 20: A message from NITZA and the AD Council Radio.
- 12:56Speaker 5: It's on.
- 13:08Speaker 4: The sound quick for you from Joe Thomas. It's first
- 13:15Speaker 4: thing today.
- 13:19Speaker 13: As long as I.
- 13:29Speaker 7: Feature what's on your mind?
- 13:40Speaker 5: So four three four eight eight two four two one seven,
- 13:44Speaker 5: engage that First Amendment while it still exists. Ask the questions.
- 13:51Speaker 5: But remember the authority is to secure our right nothing
- 14:02Speaker 5: more so when we look at the corruptions that could
- 14:15Speaker 5: be attached to this Jeffrey Epstein perversion, and we try
- 14:24Speaker 5: to be the enclave that still brings up the fact
- 14:27Speaker 5: that there were hundreds of young girls and it's just
- 14:36Speaker 5: mind boggling the depravity of it. But as this story unfolds,
- 14:48Speaker 5: I hope, and it's my contention that at least with
- 14:52Speaker 5: the four hours that you and I get to spend together,
- 14:55Speaker 5: we move the narrative of an inappropriately sigh government, a
- 15:02Speaker 5: government with too much authority to move money around. And
- 15:06Speaker 5: maybe Larry Summers wasn't changing federal policy, but maybe he
- 15:10Speaker 5: was influencing personal finding out knowing things that he was
- 15:18Speaker 5: then allowed to or was able to move towards Jeffrey
- 15:25Speaker 5: Epstein and those who fundraised for his affairs, or if
- 15:28Speaker 5: it's a government operation and they were fundraising. You need
- 15:32Speaker 5: to know these things because the explanation for covert operations
- 15:42Speaker 5: is that if it was to be known that this happened,
- 15:48Speaker 5: agents could be put in danger, certainly as a commonplace thing,
- 15:52Speaker 5: but more importantly, current operations could be compromised. Jeffrey Epstein's
- 15:59Speaker 5: dead is planes impounded, his booking agent, his tattoo is
- 16:06Speaker 5: in jail. Even if it is a superman, I mean,
- 16:09Speaker 5: it's barely a fifty five an over retirement community from
- 16:13Speaker 5: what I understand, So there's no continuing operation to protect.
- 16:24Speaker 5: And it goes back to the same part of the
- 16:27Speaker 5: COVID nineteen story, what did we pay for and when
- 16:32Speaker 5: did we know it? And that's the part of this
- 16:41Speaker 5: that you have to not let go of because the
- 16:45Speaker 5: danger is it will become another part of the Marxists.
- 16:49Speaker 5: This is why all give up voting and all the
- 16:52Speaker 5: other crap. Don't let them gaslight you into that. What
- 17:02Speaker 5: we need to be looking at is a government with
- 17:05Speaker 5: too much authority to move money, especially money move the authorities,
- 17:12Speaker 5: move the powers, move the markets, and that's where the
- 17:22Speaker 5: corruption begins. The corruptibility is in all of us. I've
- 17:30Speaker 5: said to you in the past, it's a truism. A
- 17:33Speaker 5: young person, at some point in their life is going
- 17:36Speaker 5: to push back against the adults in their world, the
- 17:39Speaker 5: elders in their world.
- 17:40Speaker 10: It's not what you know, it's who you know.
- 17:43Speaker 5: Because an idealistic young person is going to enter the
- 17:47Speaker 5: world saying I'm going to do great things. I'm going
- 17:50Speaker 5: to school up, I'm going to study real hard, I'm
- 17:52Speaker 5: going to learn everything I need to learn. I'm going
- 17:54Speaker 5: to practice it. I'm going to become expert at it.
- 17:58Speaker 5: And then I find out that that's not enough. Well, yeah,
- 18:01Speaker 5: it's not enough. It's the essence of it, but there
- 18:05Speaker 5: is always more because the next guy is going to
- 18:08Speaker 5: do the same thing, and the guy after that, and
- 18:10Speaker 5: the gal before them. So there is a manner of
- 18:17Speaker 5: who you know. And in a free society, unlike a
- 18:21Speaker 5: caste system like in India, you are allowed to know
- 18:25Speaker 5: different people. If you don't think the people you know
- 18:29Speaker 5: are helping you out in your pursuit of your happiness,
- 18:34Speaker 5: then you can change that. You can go find people
- 18:37Speaker 5: who do. And the corruptible nature of that is how
- 18:42Speaker 5: you wind up in a Tom Wolfe novel, because you
- 18:46Speaker 5: lose sight of just looking for people who will be
- 18:49Speaker 5: supportive of you as you go through your journey and
- 18:52Speaker 5: perhaps help you connect you with the people who will
- 18:55Speaker 5: help it make ends meet. But you have to first
- 19:03Speaker 5: be able to do the task first. Nobody's going to
- 19:05Speaker 5: connect you to other people if you can't do something
- 19:08Speaker 5: for them first. So there's a teeter ton of effect.
- 19:12Speaker 5: And this is why I say the beauty the elegance
- 19:16Speaker 5: of the US Constitution and its delicacy was that it
- 19:20Speaker 5: was establishing a lattice work, where as a society, laws
- 19:25Speaker 5: would be established to secure your rights. But in the
- 19:31Speaker 5: last one hundred years, maybe a little bit more. We
- 19:34Speaker 5: have grown bored with that that's not sufficient enough for
- 19:41Speaker 5: some of us. Some of us, out of the goodness
- 19:45Speaker 5: of our heart, we want to do things for people,
- 19:50Speaker 5: and we just don't feel like we can do them
- 19:54Speaker 5: fast enough or completely enough without the government interceding. We Oh,
- 19:59Speaker 5: I can, I can leverage so much more money now
- 20:02Speaker 5: that I have a friend in the US House of
- 20:04Speaker 5: Representatives or whatever it may be. Leverage because sloth being
- 20:14Speaker 5: one of our seven vices, it's the easier solution than Hey,
- 20:18Speaker 5: I've been connected with people who will help me start
- 20:20Speaker 5: this nonprofit that's going to address housing. Let's pick housing.
- 20:27Speaker 5: And you immediately become addicted to going after government grants
- 20:31Speaker 5: because they're bigger, they're flashier, they get you mentioned in
- 20:34Speaker 5: the newspaper. If you get mentioned in the newspaper, a
- 20:37Speaker 5: few shekels come in from private contributions. But your ability
- 20:45Speaker 5: to help the people you want to help is now
- 20:48Speaker 5: limited to the ones that are politically beneficial to those
- 20:52Speaker 5: who approved your grant funding in the first place. And
- 20:57Speaker 5: that's the part that's corrupting your decision making. So you
- 21:02Speaker 5: take the all truest. It's not what you know, it's
- 21:07Speaker 5: who you know. And you want to know good people,
- 21:10Speaker 5: but how do you identify on your end? Are they
- 21:13Speaker 5: helping you for good or for people.
- 21:16Speaker 4: I'm not leaving to I get justice, not exactly justice.
- 21:19Speaker 5: I suppose more like preferential treatment.
- 21:20Speaker 15: But I'm not leaving to it.
- 21:23Speaker 5: It's all we want. We want for preferential treatment. Bless you.
- 21:29Speaker 5: If you were an only child, you had to deal
- 21:32Speaker 5: with it later when you got into school. But if
- 21:35Speaker 5: you're the older child as I am, you know at
- 21:38Speaker 5: some point your attention from your parents was diluted. You
- 21:42Speaker 5: had to realize you had to learn. Then, hopefully your parents,
- 21:45Speaker 5: as I tried to do with my kids, explain that
- 21:48Speaker 5: this is not you know, you're not lesser. We just
- 21:51Speaker 5: have extra people here, more people. But that's not always
- 21:57Speaker 5: what people hear and see and do.

- 29:08Speaker 5: I appoint you to for advice advisory services if you
- 29:13Speaker 5: will on Gold and Silver Investing been doing it since
- 29:17Speaker 5: nineteen sixty one. James Lucke told us yesterday big news
- 29:22Speaker 5: there and if you've never picked up one of their
- 29:24Speaker 5: Christmas rounds. You've got to see these things. They're beautiful
- 29:29Speaker 5: ornaments turned investments. At the same time, pure silver rounds

- 29:38Speaker 10: Right, James, that's exactly right, Joe.
- 29:41Speaker 25: Be on the lookout there at jcscold dot com for
- 29:44Speaker 25: when we put those up and in stock. I'm sure
- 29:48Speaker 25: they always go fast every single year, and now we're
- 29:52Speaker 25: shipping them all across the country.
- 29:53Speaker 10: So be on the lookoufter that absolutely and gold and
- 29:56Speaker 10: silver into green.
- 29:57Speaker 25: So far today, gold is up about three dollars, just
- 30:01Speaker 25: about tenhund percent to four thousand and forty eight dollars UH.
- 30:05Speaker 25: Silver is holding about fifty at fifty dollars and fifty
- 30:08Speaker 25: cents a half of percent.
- 30:10Speaker 10: Morning.
- 30:10Speaker 5: I've read too much science fiction in my life, James,
- 30:14Speaker 5: But I can just imagine that time traveler that you know,
- 30:18Speaker 5: you know, jumped into their Dolorean in central Virginia and
- 30:23Speaker 5: you know, hit hit the Midtown Bypass and all of
- 30:26Speaker 5: a sudden found themselves in twenty twenty five in November,
- 30:30Speaker 5: hearing us talking about it, what four thousand but fifty
- 30:33Speaker 5: dollars because it wasn't all, and you can look at
- 30:36Speaker 5: these charts at jcsgold dot com and you can see
- 30:40Speaker 5: how the prices have been going up, James. But comparatively,
- 30:44Speaker 5: they're still going up the way they have been for years.
- 30:46Speaker 10: Right, that's exactly right.
- 30:48Speaker 25: If you zoom out on our we have some charts
- 30:51Speaker 25: of gold and silver there on the bottom of our
- 30:54Speaker 25: homepage at jcscold dot com, and if you zoom out,
- 30:57Speaker 25: you can look at the past five years, ten years,
- 30:59Speaker 25: and even max and you can do all the way
- 31:02Speaker 25: out and you can see how cheap gold was really
- 31:06Speaker 25: not that long ago, you know, just about twenty twenty
- 31:09Speaker 25: five years ago, gold was very cheap, around like two
- 31:13Speaker 25: hundred dollars an ounce, And we had a lot of
- 31:16Speaker 25: clients back in the eighties and nineties that were picking
- 31:19Speaker 25: up gold for comparative to today pennies on the dollar
- 31:24Speaker 25: and are very happy with the way that they've hedged
- 31:27Speaker 25: to gets inflation since then. So take a look at
- 31:30Speaker 25: that and you can just see how gold and silver
- 31:32Speaker 25: have moved over time and how they really have worked
- 31:35Speaker 25: as a great hedge against a shrinking dollar.
- 31:37Speaker 5: Yeah, never mind, Larry Summers, this is the heads you want.
- 31:40Speaker 5: Jcsgold dot Com James. You have a great morning, sir.
- 31:44Speaker 5: Thanks show you too, and you join us because, as
- 31:48Speaker 5: I said, our business model is we'll tell you what
- 31:50Speaker 5: went on. We will examine the debris field, tell you
- 31:53Speaker 5: what we find. But more importantly, we want to let
- 31:55Speaker 5: you know that you can tell us how it's impacting you.
- 31:59Speaker 5: This text that Joe Hamas has broken every provision in
- 32:04Speaker 5: that treaty talking about the UN voting to accept the
- 32:12Speaker 5: US broker deal. But this is the thing is the
- 32:16Speaker 5: UN it wasn't about whether Hamas has broken the deal
- 32:19Speaker 5: yet or not. The UN vote is about the concept
- 32:24Speaker 5: that was put together by Witcoff and Kushner and did
- 32:29Speaker 5: the UN think it could work and would they be
- 32:34Speaker 5: willing to put their own skin in that game? And
- 32:40Speaker 5: it seems like their answer was yeah. So the question
- 32:48Speaker 5: isn't you know whether or not Hamas has broken their
- 32:54Speaker 5: promises yet? But the subtle little thing the Israelis did
- 33:00Speaker 5: is there are and Hamas has been dealing with armed
- 33:03Speaker 5: insurrections within their authority by people who just conveniently had
- 33:10Speaker 5: firearms left with them by the Israeli defense forces when
- 33:14Speaker 5: they were leaving. Huh funny that so in a place
- 33:19Speaker 5: like the Gaza strip. Somebody is understanding what the Second
- 33:22Speaker 5: Amendment means. And this is where Hamasa's authority maybe falling
- 33:29Speaker 5: even further under challenge because people are standing up to
- 33:33Speaker 5: them now. And I've lived long enough to see the
- 33:43Speaker 5: Irish Republican Army win seats in Britain's Parliament and that
- 33:52Speaker 5: was just a shock to everyone's system. Oh my god,
- 33:56Speaker 5: Jerry Adams and the whole shinfein and rewarding terrorism. So
- 34:10Speaker 5: the history of the world is replete with trying to
- 34:13Speaker 5: fix some of this, to stop the bloodshed, which is
- 34:19Speaker 5: what I think the administration is trying to do. And
- 34:21Speaker 5: the reason I brought up the brought up the UN
- 34:28Speaker 5: vote was because it's indicative again of several things. Number one,
- 34:34Speaker 5: everyone who says Trump is a danger to the world,
- 34:39Speaker 5: and then this stuff happens, even where though they didn't
- 34:43Speaker 5: vote in favor of it, China and Russia kept their
- 34:46Speaker 5: veto votes in their pockets on this seeing the benefit
- 34:53Speaker 5: of it, and maybe they're figuring, you know, at some
- 34:57Speaker 5: point this country will be just another part of the
- 35:00Speaker 5: the brick Iran. You know, we'll throw them in there
- 35:04Speaker 5: with Iran and we'll just chug together. And you know,
- 35:06Speaker 5: come up with just like getting the band back together
- 35:09Speaker 5: from the early nineteen forties socialist Marxism rolling through the
- 35:17Speaker 5: Middle East. Go get the Jews who want to own
- 35:20Speaker 5: their own business, and circle back to the phrase to
- 35:27Speaker 5: secure these rights. That's the phrase that pays in this,
- 35:34Speaker 5: to secure these rights. And as long as we remember
- 35:42Speaker 5: that's what we're doing here, is that any government that
- 35:46Speaker 5: we establish should be about securing the citizens' free run,
- 35:52Speaker 5: you know, God given rights. It shouldn't be about our
- 35:58Speaker 5: oil agenda or our or marginalizing Iran or Russia or China.
- 36:05Speaker 5: That could all happen too. Porkato los dos? Why can't both?
- 36:17Speaker 5: So it is a point of order, mostly because the
- 36:22Speaker 5: narrative is Trump's dangerous, Trump's going to do all these
- 36:25Speaker 5: horrific things to the world, and then the world turns around,
- 36:29Speaker 5: looks at what they've done, and oh, well that's actually
- 36:33Speaker 5: pretty good there, Baba, I'm all for this. So they
- 36:37Speaker 5: voted to accept it in the UN, and I just
- 36:41Speaker 5: it's another one of those Sure, it's not that Jeffrey
- 36:43Speaker 5: Epstein scandal. Ooh boogie boogie boogie, but it is a
- 36:47Speaker 5: seminal moment, especially for those folks who say that Trump
- 36:52Speaker 5: isn't a peace negotiator, that he's somehow a warmonger in
- 36:58Speaker 5: sheep's clothing. That these folks are out there complaining that
- 37:06Speaker 5: the Trump administration hasn't ended the wars fast enough, even
- 37:10Speaker 5: wars that we weren't involved in, per se. That you
- 37:13Speaker 5: look at the work product of our international envoys and
- 37:18Speaker 5: we're winning. We're winning the peace and we're listening to
- 37:27Speaker 5: both sides. There's why are you talking to Hamas Whitcough.
- 37:31Speaker 5: We had it in the news yesterday. Witkough back to
- 37:34Speaker 5: the Middle East to talk with Hamas Because there are
- 37:38Speaker 5: two sides to this. So if there's going to be
- 37:45Speaker 5: a peace plan, they have to be part of it
- 37:51Speaker 5: because you know, imagining a world where we could get
- 37:53Speaker 5: rid of them all is how we wound up with
- 37:56Speaker 5: Israel in the Middle East instead of the Jewish population
- 37:59Speaker 5: of Pole in Germany.

- 39:04Speaker 15: Considered by most, Optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 39:07Speaker 15: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi im,
- 39:13Speaker 15: doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized
- 39:19Speaker 15: curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program.
- 39:24Speaker 15: It makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation
- 39:28Speaker 15: is a key component to our overall health. The Mayo
- 39:32Speaker 15: Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has
- 39:37Speaker 15: antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent cancer
- 39:43Speaker 15: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
- 39:46Speaker 15: many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy

- 44:37Speaker 5: this year and back with new stuff too. Gary. Good morning,
- 44:42Speaker 5: How are you, sir?
- 44:44Speaker 10: Good morning? I'm doing well. How are you?
- 44:46Speaker 5: I'm well? You know what, it must be Christmas time
- 44:49Speaker 5: because my sister's yelling at me about Thanksgiving, people can't
- 44:52Speaker 5: find turkeys in the grocery store, and you're on the
- 44:54Speaker 5: phone with me, So it must be getting to look
- 44:57Speaker 5: a lot like Christmas.
- 45:00Speaker 10: It beginnings to a lot like Christmas, for sure. Man.
- 45:03Speaker 12: Yeah, I've been really excited to have some new music
- 45:05Speaker 12: out because this is the thirtieth anniversary of me doing
- 45:09Speaker 12: the Holy Qunchy Christmas and it's just great to have
- 45:13Speaker 12: new stuff out. And my son Ian is actually going
- 45:15Speaker 12: to be on tour with me playing guitar, so it's
- 45:18Speaker 12: really awesome.
- 45:19Speaker 10: It is.
- 45:20Speaker 5: It's neat, you know, how hard is it as somebody
- 45:23Speaker 5: whose son's at least one of my kids has sort
- 45:27Speaker 5: of gone into my business, How hard is it to
- 45:30Speaker 5: see them doing different things? You know, because at some
- 45:33Speaker 5: point he's going to do his own thing. He's going
- 45:35Speaker 5: to say, hey, Dad, I've got this man I want
- 45:37Speaker 5: to do something with or whatever.
- 45:39Speaker 10: You know, how much of.
- 45:40Speaker 5: It is, you know, just do what dad did versus
- 45:43Speaker 5: how much pride do you get when you see the
- 45:46Speaker 5: stuff he's doing on his own.
- 45:49Speaker 10: Yeah, that's a great question.
- 45:50Speaker 12: He actually, you know, in the beginning, he was trying
- 45:53Speaker 12: to be a mini me, you know, and he loved
- 45:54Speaker 12: to play my songs and we would, you know, we
- 45:57Speaker 12: bring him out on stage as a guest for a
- 45:59Speaker 12: few songs and it was great. But then I said,
- 46:02Speaker 12: you know, why don't you just join the band and
- 46:04Speaker 12: playing the band instead of sitting backstage on my waity
- 46:06Speaker 12: to come out, and so it made him really work
- 46:09Speaker 12: hard to you know, learn a ninety minute show.
- 46:11Speaker 10: And I saw him step up and he's a hard worker.
- 46:16Speaker 10: He's a good kid.
- 46:16Speaker 12: He's twenty four years old. He's been in Nashville studying
- 46:19Speaker 12: music for a couple of years. So if I was
- 46:22Speaker 12: looking for a band member and I hired audition ten people,
- 46:24Speaker 12: my son would probably get the gig. He's that good
- 46:27Speaker 12: and he's got his own thing. And seeing him go
- 46:30Speaker 12: down the road of his own vibe, the way he dresses,
- 46:33Speaker 12: the way he listens to music, he writes, it's very
- 46:35Speaker 12: different from me now, and I love it because I'm
- 46:39Speaker 12: proud that he is becoming his own, you know, his
- 46:42Speaker 12: own guy, and he's finding a way.
- 46:44Speaker 10: Of creatively getting to that. So I couldn't be happier.
- 46:47Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the that's the fun thing I think about.
- 46:50Speaker 5: Nobody tells you this when your wife is pregnant and
- 46:53Speaker 5: you're like, how am I going to do? They never
- 46:54Speaker 5: tell you that. You know, twenty twenty five years from now,
- 46:57Speaker 5: you're going to be really proud of the kind of
- 46:59Speaker 5: kid they've become. I guess hopefully there, So you know,
- 47:03Speaker 5: talk about the new record. Yeah, you hope you knock wood.
- 47:06Speaker 5: So talk about the new record. What what's going out
- 47:09Speaker 5: on there?
- 47:11Speaker 10: The new record. It's just exciting.
- 47:13Speaker 12: After after thirty years of putting out, you know, almost
- 47:15Speaker 12: forty Christmas songs. All my friends said, like, what happened
- 47:18Speaker 12: you recorded? I found some cool songs that, you know,
- 47:23Speaker 12: that I'd never done before, Like it's beginning to look
- 47:25Speaker 12: a lot like Christmas.
- 47:26Speaker 10: I start, what a fun, happy melody. You know, when
- 47:29Speaker 10: you hear that.
- 47:40Speaker 3: It sounds like going out to the ballgame.
- 47:42Speaker 10: It's so fun. But then when I put my crunch
- 47:44Speaker 10: into it and I add all.
- 47:45Speaker 12: The you know, the big drums and the whole thing,
- 47:47Speaker 12: it turns into something different. And then I did another
- 47:49Speaker 12: funny song I did up on the rooftop, but I
- 47:53Speaker 12: kind of tried to do it like the food fires,
- 47:54Speaker 12: you know, so it has that, you know, but I
- 48:01Speaker 12: don't know if you can hear the crunchy guitar or
- 48:02Speaker 12: does it like.
- 48:09Speaker 10: So that's on there. And then my son came in and.
- 48:12Speaker 12: Graced me with this beautiful version of the of the
- 48:16Speaker 12: title track of the albums called Christmas Time Is Here,
- 48:18Speaker 12: and uh, he played the old.
- 48:32Speaker 5: It's beautiful, you know, that's that's like, that's like pumpkins
- 48:37Speaker 5: spiced everything. You know, that's that sound says Christmas to you.
- 48:42Speaker 5: And you know, thanks to you know, the producers of
- 48:44Speaker 5: the Charlie Brown Christmas Special that put that in there.
- 48:49Speaker 5: So so now you're all mustard up, you're ready to go.
- 48:52Speaker 5: You're and and you're hitting the road.
- 48:54Speaker 10: Uh.
- 48:55Speaker 5: And it's neat now that we've got so many cities
- 48:57Speaker 5: tuning into the show, because I mean, you kick off,
- 49:00Speaker 5: We've got a great station in Saint Augustine, Florida, and
- 49:03Speaker 5: you're gonna be there at Cafe eleven. You're gonna be
- 49:06Speaker 5: over my buddy Matt out in Fort Myers, Florida.
- 49:11Speaker 1: There.
- 49:12Speaker 5: Then then you're back up into the Northeast. You're doing
- 49:15Speaker 5: it the other way around. All the Northeasterners go to Florida.
- 49:18Speaker 5: You're heading back Old Saybrook, Connecticut. We've got listeners in
- 49:22Speaker 5: Greenwich at WGH. You know, how did you construct the tour?
- 49:26Speaker 5: Did you pick areas you wanted to go to? Because
- 49:29Speaker 5: you seem like you're all across the country crisscrossing.
- 49:33Speaker 10: Yeah, we will.
- 49:34Speaker 12: We used to do the tour just grind it, man,
- 49:37Speaker 12: Like we would go like right.
- 49:38Speaker 10: Through the heart of Michigan in.
- 49:39Speaker 12: The middle of December, you know, and the winds, your
- 49:42Speaker 12: wipers would be full of ice. So we'd be trying
- 49:44Speaker 12: to get to the gig and that was getting difficult.
- 49:46Speaker 12: So we started to kind of go, hey, let's start
- 49:48Speaker 12: off in Florida, you know, it's nice and warm, no snow,
- 49:51Speaker 12: and then we'll come home.
- 49:52Speaker 10: You'll play some gigs local, then we'll go to the Midwest.
- 49:54Speaker 12: For a little bit, and then we'll end it in California.
- 49:56Speaker 12: So we sort of got smart as the years went
- 49:59Speaker 12: on and we kind of picked choose.
- 50:00Speaker 10: But we do a lot of fly dates.
- 50:01Speaker 12: We will fly for you know, four or five shows,
- 50:03Speaker 12: it will fly back home, you know, and then fly
- 50:06Speaker 12: back out for you know, maybe a few more shows
- 50:07Speaker 12: and then fly home. So we don't do it like
- 50:09Speaker 12: always always on the road, you know.
- 50:10Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I hear you there. Uh, and you're for
- 50:13Speaker 5: our friends in Lowell, mass You're going to be in Plymouth, Aurora,
- 50:17Speaker 5: Illinois or Chicago listeners. Uh there. I don't know where Lakewood,
- 50:21Speaker 5: Ohio is. If it's anywhere near Youngstown, you guys definitely
- 50:26Speaker 5: check him out, uh there, and then you hit California,
- 50:30Speaker 5: I know, You're always big in California. The year you
- 50:32Speaker 5: kill it in California when you're out there.
- 50:35Speaker 12: Yes, that's because I lived out there for so long.
- 50:37Speaker 12: I was there for almost twenty years. So yeah, we
- 50:39Speaker 12: have a big, a big fan base. Love playing out West.
- 50:42Speaker 12: And now the Christmas tour is always such a great
- 50:44Speaker 12: time because people are in a good mood, you know,
- 50:47Speaker 12: and times have been tough for people now, you know,
- 50:50Speaker 12: we do We're trying to do some food drives, we
- 50:52Speaker 12: do some clothing drives for veterans, and you know, trying
- 50:54Speaker 12: to tie tie in some good stuff and and.
- 50:57Speaker 10: Christmas music is great.
- 50:58Speaker 12: It's it's a great time to get people together. I
- 51:01Speaker 12: think we're all living a little too isolated sometimes, you know.
- 51:04Speaker 10: Oh my son, it's like we got it.
- 51:06Speaker 12: We all have these things called iPhones, you know, and
- 51:09Speaker 12: it's just in a way it makes us all just
- 51:11Speaker 12: stay in our little corners. I told them, get out
- 51:12Speaker 12: and play in a garage band, get out and do
- 51:14Speaker 12: something you know that's true, and connect with people, you know.
- 51:18Speaker 12: And that's what we're trying to do on this tour
- 51:19Speaker 12: is bring people out and just have a good time.
- 51:21Speaker 12: We come out out to the show, we chat with
- 51:23Speaker 12: fans and it's always a fun time.
- 51:25Speaker 5: Maybe we need to invent a phone. See, you know
- 51:27Speaker 5: you're you're smart technologically and I'm smart promotionally. We should
- 51:31Speaker 5: invent something you and me, Gary called the we phone
- 51:35Speaker 5: instead of the iPhone.
- 51:37Speaker 12: I love that, man, I literally it's funny you and
- 51:40Speaker 12: I think so much like because I did say that,
- 51:41Speaker 12: I said they should have should have called it the
- 51:43Speaker 12: we phone. One day, let's come up with the we phone.
- 51:46Speaker 12: And the thing is the we phone. It's basically you
- 51:49Speaker 12: can't talk to anybody with it until they're in front
- 51:52Speaker 12: of you.
- 51:52Speaker 10: Oh that's perfect. I like that.
- 51:55Speaker 12: So you basically you create a we group and you
- 51:57Speaker 12: you you challenge six or seven people. You go listen,
- 52:00Speaker 12: said you you seven people, We're gonna play cards on
- 52:02Speaker 12: Wednesday night?
- 52:03Speaker 10: Are you in with the we the wee thing? And
- 52:05Speaker 10: then you know, they respawn and then they all show up.
- 52:07Speaker 5: I love it.
