"Classical Gas" (FTTxJT Thu 101526 hr4) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Talk radio just the way your mother used to be.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Joe works hard to steal me.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: He's down here every day.
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: Leaves for work when the sun comes up.
• 0:20
  Speaker 5: Drops the kids to school and all the way.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Joe has everything he dreamed of.
• 0:25
  Speaker 6: All the treasures that he needs.
• 0:28
  Speaker 7: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: He only aims to please you.
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: this morning. Just trying to make sense of it all
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: because it's you and me. And I know we have
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: elected officials and I know we have laws. Those laws
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: should be there to lay out the groundwork for how
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: we punish somebody when they translate, when they transgress against
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: our rights. And anything else becomes a mistake. And an
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: email came in. We were talking about implied powers. And
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: this is a common thing. So we were talking about
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: implied powers. It's Hamilton advising President Washington on things that
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: are extra constitutional. And Lisa writes in 2434882. 4217. So basically, Joe,
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: you would have Donald Trump go to Mike Johnson every
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: time he needed to go grab a lunch order and
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: get congressional approval for it. You sound a little like
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: Virginia Senator Tim Kaine when you talk like this. Well,
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: all right. So, and Lisa, there must be a misunderstanding. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: There must be some kind of mistake. So I want.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: You're applying what I'm saying about Hamilton's implied powers to
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: the way the government has bloated itself today. So I
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: want to go back and I want to take Donald
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: Trump and his administration, Mike Johnson and Akeem Jeffries too,
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: and all these folks back to that moment before Alexander
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: Hamilton explains implied powers to George Washington, before George Washington
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: decides that hiding And really, Hamilton decided that hiding taxes
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: from citizens was a better way to collect them than
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: just saying, here's what I need to pay the soldiers
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: that helped win the war. Because George Washington faced the
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: same kind of unpopular war crap that Donald Trump is facing.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: And I'm sure I'm going to get emails saying, are
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: you trying to say Donald Trump is like George Washington? Oh, no,
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: I'm not. I'm trying to say that These things... What's
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: the expression? I love this expression. Oh, yeah, yeah. History
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: may not repeat, but it rhymes. So we'll get further
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: into your question, Lisa, about this. But what I'm saying
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: is Trump should be allowed to administer a government the
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: way the government was supposed to be administered.
• 3:20
  Speaker 9: 434-882-4217.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: But our first things, President Trump in Montana... Rallying voters
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: before the midterms said to the crowd that the Second
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Amendment is going to be under siege if Democrats win
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: majorities in the House and Senate. Meanwhile, one of those Democrats,
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: Hakeem Jeffries, told the press that it's not 100 days
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: they're looking at. They're looking at the first 100 hours
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: in which they will reinstate the Affordable Care Act tax
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: breaks and, of course, along with them, the Affordable Care
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Act taxes, reversing Medicaid cuts, and holding votes against the
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Iran war and tariffs. Fighting for an affordable America, that's
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: what unites us Democrats, he said. Meanwhile, federal authorities have
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: seized Ilhan Omar's cell phone. The congresswoman is facing a
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: grand jury investigation. A dozen grand jury subpoenas have gone
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: out to staffers and family members, as Mark Wayne Mullen
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: alluded to the fact that they're looking into whether she
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: falsified her documents in order to get an easier path
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: to citizenship, saying she was 17 instead of the actual 19.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: New York City is going to get rid of the
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Central Park cart rides, the iconic horse-drawn carriages have been
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: part of romance forever. They're going away, according to Mayor
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: Zorhan Mamdani, and a city council bill that is expected
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: to be approved next week would ban those horse-drawn carriages
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: from the city because a kid in what is being
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: described as a runaway carriage ride lost his life. Speaking
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: of losses of lives, Ukraine says the West, he says, winking.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: I am only inferring the winking part. He says Western
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: powers have backtracked on their promises to support Ukraine in
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: their battle against Russia. Now, last night, discovering that Starlink
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: was no longer allowing them to use their high speed
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Internet to operate their drones in certain regions that they
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: consider war Meanwhile, they're still talking about not getting missile
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: guidance alerts from, quote, Western powers, to which Donald Trump said,
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: I don't know anything about that. I just want this
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: war to be over. Our friends at Daily Signal keep
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: me busy, and we've got a great piece coming up
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: about veterans and how they're being lied to by the
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: Democrats to try to win an election here in Virginia.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: and flip some congressional seats. And it begins with the
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: idea of new wars versus old wars. But beyond that,
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: and I'm writing it even as we speak, but it'll
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: be in the Virginia section. DailySignal.com has pages dedicated to
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: the news of Ohio and Texas and Georgia and California
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: and Virginia. Nothing going on in those states. Coming up
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: on the midterms, three weeks to go. And read all
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: about it at DailySignal.com. And, of course, Victor Davis Hanson
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: at Daily Signal.
• 7:01
  Speaker 10: For veterans concerned about their alcohol or drug use, seeking
• 7:05
  Speaker 10: help can be the first step toward recovery.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: Dr.
• 7:08
  Speaker 10: Joseph Liberto, National Mental Health Director for Substance Use Disorders
• 7:12
  Speaker 10: with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, has more.
• 7:16
  Speaker 11: May is Mental Health Month, and VA is committed to
• 7:19
  Speaker 11: letting every veteran know that help is available. Substance use
• 7:23
  Speaker 11: disorder can harm your physical and mental health, but it
• 7:26
  Speaker 11: can be treated. There are thousands of veterans in recovery.
• 7:30
  Speaker 10: VA's Today I Am campaign highlights real stories from veterans
• 7:34
  Speaker 10: describing how treatment, support, and resources help them improve their
• 7:39
  Speaker 10: mental health and their lives.
• 7:41
  Speaker 11: VA has programs to treat substance use disorder at facilities
• 7:45
  Speaker 11: throughout the country. We also offer telehealth services. A better,
• 7:50

• 7:54
  Speaker 11: path toward recovery.

  Speaker 8: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 8: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 8: I'm Dr.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Mitch.
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 8:20
  Speaker 8: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 8:24
  Speaker 8: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
• 8:47
  Speaker 8: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 8:52
  Speaker 8: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
• 8:57
  Speaker 8: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.

  Speaker 12: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 12: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 12: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 12: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:17
  Speaker 12: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 12: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 12: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 12: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 12: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:37
  Speaker 12: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 12: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 12: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 12: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: I'm Jack Hanna.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: Since I was a boy growing up on a farm
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: in awe of their beauty and kindness, but also their
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: tireless work ethic.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Just look at the.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: Birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: but because of their acute senses, they also perform lifesaving
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: trained roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: So please join me and.
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: American Humane in supporting our heroic working dogs and all
• 10:52

• 10:57
  Speaker 13: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 14: Oh yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 15: And now a speech. I just want to say that
• 11:08
  Speaker 15: friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 16: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 16: somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 13: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 15: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:29
  Speaker 17: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 17: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 17: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:39
  Speaker 17: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 17: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 17: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 11:51
  Speaker 17: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 11:54
  Speaker 17: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:58
  Speaker 17: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:01
  Speaker 17: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 12:04
  Speaker 17: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:08
  Speaker 17: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 12:11
  Speaker 17: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 12:14
  Speaker 17: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 17: A tip from the Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer
• 12:27
  Speaker 17: protection agency.
• 12:29
  Speaker 18: As a family member or friend... You may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 18: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 18: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:40
  Speaker 18: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 12:44
  Speaker 18: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories

• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Here is the sound of thousands of sounds. First thing
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Doctor, doctor, give me the news.
• 13:19
  Speaker 15: I got a bad case of love in you.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Also known as pregnancy.
• 13:26
  Speaker 15: It is now.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: This preceding brought to you by the makers of Milfapristone.
• 13:33
  Speaker 19: 434-882-4217.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: Is text messages or phone calls. Emails come into JTInTheMorningRadio
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: at gmail.com. Mark writes in, earlier you were talking about
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: this guy who wrote a piece about the vanishing black
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: family and you connected it to the 1929 Permanent Reapportionment
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: Act and the Jim Crow laws, splain. So after the
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: Civil War, the people who believed black people to be
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: inferior didn't vanish. They went, in many cases, literally under
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: some white sheets. They so hated the idea that the
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: slaves had been freed that they went after them as
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: the Klan, they went after them as politicians when they
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: took the white sheets off. and put white shirts on.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: They went into government and they enacted things that took
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: away black voices like the Senate, like expanding black communities
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: of prosperity that were becoming powerful in Congress, thus the
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: 1929 Act, and then began the agenda of eugenics through
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: abortion and Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood. That's how I'm
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: connecting it all together. This is still the Dixiecrats. These
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: are still the people who killed Lincoln trying to, you know,
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: without going out and burning your thing on your lawn,
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: cross on your lawn, still trying to get rid of
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: the black community. Anyway, Joel was on the line with
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: us when we went into the news and I wanted
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: to get back to him. Anyway, Joel, so you were saying? Well,
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: What I wanted.
• 15:35
  Speaker 19: To say about this position, and then I'll get to
• 15:38
  Speaker 19: my other point, but it's not run by hospitals. It's
• 15:44
  Speaker 19: run by doctors. So kind of like you said, in parallel,
• 15:47
  Speaker 19: you and Dr.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: So is it one of those crisis care, you know,
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: like I've seen them around Virginia? No, it's a full ER. Okay.
• 15:57
  Speaker 19: But my point I'm trying to make is that you
• 16:01
  Speaker 19: don't have their bureaucracy surrounding that center.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: God bless you. Glad you found one of those. It's
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: like you found the unicorn at the end of the rainbow.
• 16:08
  Speaker 19: Oh, well, it's like an independent radio station. But anyway.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 16:14
  Speaker 19: I wanted to say this real quick. A lot of
• 16:16
  Speaker 19: people don't look at things and the strings that are
• 16:21
  Speaker 19: attached to it. And a lot of things are driven
• 16:23
  Speaker 19: by litigation. And medicine, what I saw, because I've been
• 16:28
  Speaker 19: a nurse now since 1999, and there's people that probably
• 16:32
  Speaker 19: can say things differently than me. But when I saw
• 16:35
  Speaker 19: Obamacare come in, I saw more defensive medicine come in.
• 16:40
  Speaker 19: And defensive medicine means that they have to run tests
• 16:43
  Speaker 19: that not necessarily are needed. But if they don't run them,
• 16:46
  Speaker 19: you're going to have people that are going to litigate
• 16:49
  Speaker 19: and say, well, they didn't find this, but now that
• 16:53
  Speaker 19: now they found it, it was after the fact that
• 16:55
  Speaker 19: they could have run it. And a lot of those
• 16:58
  Speaker 19: things drive cost overruns for hospitals and And insurance, insurances,
• 17:04
  Speaker 19: but some insurances like it because they're driven by the
• 17:07
  Speaker 19: dollar of the procedure, not by the patient. And I
• 17:11
  Speaker 19: think that's really corrupted medicine. And even in his field,
• 17:16
  Speaker 19: he's a veterinarian. I'm sure they go, well, why didn't
• 17:19
  Speaker 19: you do an X-ray on the dog's leg?
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: Is it?
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: Is it?
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: About tort or is it about covering the insurance company
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: or trying to find a way for the insurance company
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: to get out of paying for something? Because that's what
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: I've seen in this vaccine mandate. The vaccine mandate is
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: a way for the insurance company to say, well, according
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: to this, you didn't have your 17 boosters. So I
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: understand your mom's in for COVID, but we can't pay
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: for it because she... She didn't do the things that
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: we said you have to do in order to qualify
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: for care. And that could be litigated as well. I
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: guess that's been through court systems and everything else. But
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: it still comes down to stepping in between and putting
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: people who aren't doctors and nurses in between the patients
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: and the doctors and nurses, isn't it?
• 18:15
  Speaker 19: Exactly.
• 18:15
  Speaker 10: Exactly.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 18:17
  Speaker 19: And as you say, Joe, how half the things that
• 18:22
  Speaker 19: deal with politics and Americans is what happened to the individual?
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Weren't we in charge? I still, you know, what's
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: it Martin Luther King said, somewhere I read, somewhere I read,
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: we the people are on the deed still for this place.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: So what happened to that? Good stuff. Well, good news.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: Keep us up to date. If that means you don't
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: call as much, that's okay. Call when you can.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: No, no, no.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying like, oh, great, Joel's got a job.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: He won't be calling us every day. Infer what you will.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: I'm happy for you. I am happy for you.
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: 434-882-4217.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: I hope we're still in a world, because I grew
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: up in a world where you can kid each other
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: You know, and sometimes it's the nice way of saying,
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: did you really think that through? But sometimes it's just saying,
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: I'm happy for you. You know, when somebody says, hey,
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: I'm getting engaged and people get mad because it means
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: they aren't going to be hanging out at the pub anymore.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: And they hate the girl because the guy's getting engaged
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: and I was not going to be at the pub anymore.
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's the kind of stuff. I just never
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: liked that. Be happy for people. There's always more people.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: If somebody in your clan, you know, is got some
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: opportunity and they have to move away.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: It's okay. There's more people. We'll make more.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: Like the old Jay Leno. Fritos commercial. Eat all you want.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: Meet all you want. We'll make more. Although, thanks to
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: the abortionists, we're not doing that nearly as much anymore.
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: Record low birth rates in this country. And those who
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: are getting born are being told, that they should be
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: looking for some high-paying job without ever explaining to them
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: what it is that you would have to do for
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: said high-paying job. What value would you create? When I
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: first started school up on radio, and we're trying to
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: battle this paradigm here, but I think the math, people
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: with business degrees, Andy's got a business degree, maybe he
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: can vet me out on this, but if something costs $ 50...
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: Generally speaking, you need to generate $ 150 worth of revenue
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: to make that happen. Because there are costs. So let's
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: say making a project is going to cost $ 50 for somebody,
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: a print shop like our friends at Sir Speedy. But
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: there's also the rent and the electricity and all the
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: other legacy costs that go into it. So it's not
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: just the $ 50. Hopefully you've been able to price out
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: your stuff. in that fair way that takes into account.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: But generally speaking, what people say is that you should
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: charge two to three times what it costs to make something.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: And so are we teaching that to our kids that
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: there is a cost? I have exactly, literally one employee
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: at Thomas Media and our, payroll taxes are almost as
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: much as we pay him. And he pays income taxes
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: on the money we pay him. And we pay business
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: taxes on all the equipment that he uses. So you
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: see where it starts to feel like the government is
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: the one that's giving us permission to do the work
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: that winds up employing somebody that would be on the
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: dole otherwise.
• 22:02
  Speaker 8: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 22:12
  Speaker 8: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 22:17
  Speaker 8: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 22:21
  Speaker 8: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 22:34
  Speaker 8: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 22:38
  Speaker 8: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 22:41

  Speaker 8: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 8: I'm Dr.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Mitch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 8: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:19
  Speaker 8: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:24
  Speaker 8: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 24:39
  Speaker 8: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even

  Speaker 14: Oh, yeah?
• 25:57
  Speaker 16: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 25:59
  Speaker 15: And now a speech. I just want to say that
• 26:04
  Speaker 15: friendship is about heart.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 26:10
  Speaker 16: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 26:13
  Speaker 16: somebody call me a ride.
• 26:15
  Speaker 13: Love that guy.
• 26:16

• 26:23
  Speaker 17: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 26:26
  Speaker 17: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 26:30
  Speaker 17: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 17: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:36
  Speaker 17: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 26:40
  Speaker 17: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 26:46
  Speaker 17: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 26:49
  Speaker 17: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 26:53
  Speaker 17: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 26:55
  Speaker 17: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 26:59
  Speaker 17: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 27:02
  Speaker 17: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 27:05
  Speaker 17: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 27:09
  Speaker 17: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 1: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: Hi.
• 28:25
  Speaker 13: Love calls.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: Nothing but love songs. Well, you know, we love freedom.
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: We love being able to be self-actualizing. At some point,
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: you start to realize, and maybe this is why they
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: want to discourage people from being entrepreneurial, is because as
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: soon as you open your own business, as soon as
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: you hang the letters LLC after whatever name you've taken...
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: And after the 14th time, why you explain why there's
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: a steel mill on the logo of your business when
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: you're a radio show. Once you've done that a few times,
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: you start to realize you've looked behind the curtain and
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: you see why things are not affordable. Because even the
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: best case scenario, if something costs you $ 50 and you
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: charge $ 100 for it because of the cost involved and
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: the background on it, how much of that $ 50 that
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: it's cost you are government compliances?
• 29:50
  Speaker 12: Lots.
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: Lots. A minute of commercial time on First Thing Today
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: by Joe Thomas. It'd be somebody who's got to pay
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: for my caffeine, right? And it's a simple commerce here,
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: but everywhere. It doesn't matter whether you're a butcher or
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: a baker or a news analysis maker. There are costs
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: to doing the business. Flour costs money. Craisins cost money.
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: Whatever it is you're making. Coffee costs money. So you
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: have to do all that. And kids who are like,
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: I want to make $ 30 an hour.
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: For what?
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: That's not fair. You can't tell me.
• 30:33
  Speaker 22: Yes, I can.
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: What are you doing for the person you're working for?
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: He's a greedy son of a bitch.
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: What are you doing for him? If he's so horrible,
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: why are you working for him? The man needs rent.
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: Oligarchy means I have to pay rent. White supremacist. colonialist
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: goons make me pay rent. So I have to have
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: a job because the government doesn't pay me enough to
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: sit around. And meanwhile, fat cats are getting rich. Are
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: people getting rich?
• 31:07
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: Have I worked for people who, you know, went, you know,
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, we're not going to be around for a while.
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: We have to go overseas to pick up our custom
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: made yacht.
• 31:19
  Speaker 9: What?
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: And you said I couldn't have a race last month.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: I get it. But you know what?
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: That's choice.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: If you have a vibrant free market, the best people
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: will work for the best people, and therefore the best
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: people will prosper. I've made this case about Walmart all
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: the time. Sam Walton came up with an idea, said,
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: I'm going to buy in bulk. That's going to cost
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: me less so that I can charge less to the
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: people I sell to. And guess what? People liked it.
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: But then people went to work for him. And there
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: was always the challenge of unions coming in saying, well,
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: you know, big corporation unfair. And what they find time
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: and time again is Walmart employees generally, even though they're
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: working for Walmart. And this is a lesson for people
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: in my old business of fast food. You walk into Walmart,
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: Walmart right by us, our flagship station in Stanton, Virginia.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Everyone's nice. Everyone's helpful.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: Everyone guy stocking up the shelves in the Christmas stuff.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Hey, how you doing?
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: Ready for Christmas yet? No, it's September. You know, he's like, ah,
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: too bad. Where's the Halloween stuff? Ah, we already got
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: rid of it. Oh man. But you know, it's not,
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: you know, nobody's out there, you know, get out of
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: my face. Crappy job. There's something to that. There's something
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: that we need to remember about that. So while Hakeem
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: Jeffries is saying that their first 100 hours are going
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: to be about making things more affordable, I have a
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: translation for you right here from page 628 on the
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: Joe Thomas in the Morning Field Guide to the American Left.
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: When they say they are going to make things more affordable,
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: what they mean is they're going to create more subsidies
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: for the people who qualify for those subsidies based on
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: the targets that they're seeking in an effort to win
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: their next re-election campaign. I'm sorry, it's just the way
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: it is. This is why a guy who wants to
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: go back to Congress to get his Obamacare on, Tom Perriello,
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: is out there campaigning to the very soldiers whose votes
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: he barred from being counted in his last election for
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: Congress in 2008. Bags and bags of overseas military ballots arrived,
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: and he wouldn't let them be counted because somehow... The
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: postmaster overseas at the military bases, oops. And many of
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: the soldiers testified to me and to others that they
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: had voted weeks and weeks and weeks ago. That they
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: didn't wait until the last minute. Apparently, the Pentagon waited.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: We couldn't find a cargo plane to pick them up.
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: And now he has the gall to stand in front
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: of these men and women who are now veterans and
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: say he wants to go out and look for you
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: and work for you. He wants your vote now. These
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: are the people you're rewarding or potentially rewarding. And half
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: of it is the apathy that's born of people saying, wow,
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: Trump said he wasn't going to have a new war.
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: Tucker Carlson told me that on his podcast. Tucker Carlson
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: is one of the great examples of what the left does.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: Get somebody popular with conservatives and then have him turn
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: on you. And you're trying to figure out, well, was
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: he right before or is he right now? It's the
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: joy of not changing your positions on things. And I
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: understand completely. I was with a dear, dear friend, perhaps
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: more conservative than anyone I know except for my wife.
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: And he's like, I don't know, some of this stuff
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: Trump does, I can't, it's hard to defend it. And
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: that's what they do. That's what they do. They make
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: you defend Donald Trump as if Donald Trump is standing
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: behind you. That somehow you're Michael Cohen and your job
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: is to defend Donald Trump. Why is that my job?
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: It's not my job to defend Donald Trump. He's a
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: grown boy. Hell, we grew up probably, you know, 10
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: minutes from each other. Well, he was already 10 when
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: I was born. So he and his family were already
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: on their way to Jamaica Estates, where, you know, ironically,
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: he lived on, for lack of a better argument, the
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: same neighborhood that And it was the same neighborhood, but
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: almost the same street as the Cuomos and the Gottis.
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: What a neighborhood that is. Bet their garbage got picked
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: up every week. Bet their streets got plowed. But I
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: don't need to defend Donald Trump. I can just, and
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: all I ever do, and I get assailed all the
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: time for it. I'll play all of what Donald Trump says.
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: and say, do you hear what Hakeem Jeffries or Ilhan
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: Omar is saying about it? Speaking of Ilhan Omar, Charles
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: writes in a great email, he said, I hope that
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: they searched her underwear drawer. Do Somalis even wear underwear?
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: There you go. That's funny right there. I don't care
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: who you are. Do Somalis even wear underwear?
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: I The thought of Ilhan Omar.
• 38:01
  Speaker 14: At Hot Shot Secret, we share the science behind common
• 38:04
  Speaker 14: diesel problems and their solutions.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: For example, diesel fuel cetane levels.
• 38:08
  Speaker 14: In many states, the cetane rating in diesel fuel is
• 38:11
  Speaker 14: 42 to 45. Most diesel engines operate more efficiently with
• 38:15
  Speaker 14: a cetane rating of 48 to 50. One treatment of
• 38:18
  Speaker 14: Hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your cetane seven points,
• 38:21
  Speaker 14: increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts. Due to a
• 38:25
  Speaker 14: cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons and particulate matter in
• 38:28
  Speaker 14: your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of your diesel particulate filter.
• 38:32
  Speaker 14: Using Diesel Extreme generates 83% less DPF regenerations. The 6-in-1
• 38:38

  Speaker 15: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 40:05
  Speaker 15: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
• 40:09
  Speaker 15: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.

• 41:03
  Speaker 21: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 21: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 21: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 21: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 21: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 21: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 21: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 21: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 21: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.

  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 43:35
  Speaker 16: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking

  Speaker 16: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,

  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:20
  Speaker 9: 434-882-4217.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: Bruce writes in, thank you for talking about losses. Well, now,
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: people that left Chicago.
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: Earlier in the program, I mentioned fighting Obamacare back in 2009,
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: and somebody said, oh, so you're saying you're just a
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: big loser because Obamacare was passed.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: I said, you.
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: Know, my faith begins with what could be considered a
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: biggest loss. You know, if you look at it from
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: the Romans' perspective, the Christians were the big losers that
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: afternoon on Calvary. Little did they know, something Andy says
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: all the time, that we're winning, they just don't know
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: it yet. All those times the Cornwallis' soldiers appeared to
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: be routing Nathaniel Green's troops along the James River in Virginia.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: Just, oi, mate, these pikers, they run like rabbits.
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: And then they wound up in Yorktown.
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: Surprise!
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: Surprise! Look, the French are in a war. I'm teasing.
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: I mean, there is the whole abandoning us with Vietnam thing,
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: but we're still grateful for Yorktown. And that's the thing
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: about life is Mac was talking about Nick Saban earlier
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: in the week and talking about the seven seconds and
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: the process. And you always think of the next seven seconds,
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: not the last seven seconds and that kind of thing.
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: So when Washington goes up to Valley Forge with his troops,
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: he's trying to figure out what do we do next?
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: They just got their ass handed to them on September 11th.
• 46:39
  Speaker 22: What does he mean? He's mixing things up. September, is
• 46:43
  Speaker 22: this like his Norm Crosby stuff? No, September 11th, 1777,
• 46:48
  Speaker 22: the Battle of Brandywine. The American forces had lost New York, Boston,
• 46:56
  Speaker 22: and now Philadelphia.
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: Not a whole lot left for us, right? Yeah, it
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: didn't turn out that way, did it? The Romans who thought, well,
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: you know, we killed the head of the Christians. Now
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: we can just start killing Christians. Little by little started
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: to lose Romans because the Romans started saying, well, I
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: don't want to be a Christian. And it's paradoxically exactly
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: what the Democrats are trying to do with Donald Trump
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: supporters within the Republican Party.
• 47:31
  Speaker 23: Trump said no new wars. Look, here's a clip of
• 47:34
  Speaker 23: Tucker Carlson. You love Tucker Carlson, right? He said no
• 47:37
  Speaker 23: new wars. And it's not a new war. And you
• 47:41
  Speaker 23: listen to Trump, you know, do you wish?
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: And I go back to what I said, a friend
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: of mine said yesterday, I can't, he's making it hard
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: to defend him because this is what the leftist does.
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: The leftist doesn't have to attack Donald Trump. They have
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: to attack the people who voted for Donald Trump so
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: that 10, 15% of them don't show up this year.
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: Where's the email I got earlier? Jerry, Jerry writes in, Joe,
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: thank you, thank you, thank you. Can you send that
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: point to every other talk radio show out there? I
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: know you guys all say the same things, but you
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: seem to be ahead of the curve on this. Can
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: you please tell everyone what you said about Obama and
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: Trump being on the ballot this midterm? I'd love to.
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: If we had that kind of network, I know that
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: everyone thinks that we all call each other at, you know,
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: 9 p.m. You know, me and Sean and Lars and
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: Dana and Mark, and we're all on a conference call saying, all.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: Right, all right, what are you people talking about tomorrow?
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: Is that one good? No, Mark Levin. It wasn't Hannity.
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: You do it. A harsh, New York accent, and all
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: of a sudden you're doing Sean Hannity. So contrary to belief,
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: we don't all get together at 9 p.m. on a
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: conference call talking about what we're going to tell you tomorrow.
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: But I would love to share that information with people.
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: If you're staying home because you feel like you've been
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: tired of trying to defend Donald Trump, trying to defend
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: your vote for him in 2024, understand a couple of things.
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: Iran is not a new war. Hakeem Jeffries doesn't care
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: about veterans once they voted for him. And all they're
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: going to want to do while Hakeem Jeffries tells us
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: in the news, oh, the first hundred days is going
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: to be about making things affordable for America. Again, no,
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: it won't. It will be about filing articles of impeachment.
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: And you know what will be fun to watch? Although
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: I hope that the House majorities don't change, but if
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: they do, they do. I'll still be here in the
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: morning for you. Is I'm going to enjoy if they
• 50:19
  Speaker 4: try what they did in the first term when they
• 50:22
  Speaker 4: gained majority was just unending impeachment hearings and just watch
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump not care. He's going to make actual heads
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: explode when he just continues just to be him. and
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: not worry about impeachment hearings and all that kind of stuff.
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: Ray Raymond writes into JT in the morning radio at gmail.com
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: higher prices. Democrats should cheer. Democrats ought to cheer higher
• 50:59
  Speaker 4: gas and diesel prices. Biden raised fuel prices as a
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: matter of public policy to force people into electric electric cars.
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: It's a bitter commentary on the American citizenry that so
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: many of us cannot remember this. Because we've made everything
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: a political argument. Oh, you're just saying that because you
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: voted for Trump. I give Joe Biden a lot of
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: credit for making a lot with a little. I mean,
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: he became the most powerful U.S. Senator from a state
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: that only has one congressman. There are more senators from
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: Delaware than there are congresspeople. That's how small this state was.
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: Of course, it's full of people like DuPont, who's been
• 51:54
  Speaker 4: a member of the military-industrial complex since before we had
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: a military. Because he happened to discover he was out
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: drinking with Ben Franklin one night. Yes. Eyes open, head
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: on a swivel. But you have those same opportunities. They're
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: buried under a lot of crap right now. But we
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: need to clear that away. And we can. Because guess
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: what's buried underneath all of this legislative detritus? The U.S.
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Somewhere I read. Somewhere
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: I read. Thank you for associating with us freely as
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: you are allowed to by the Constitution. Thank you for
• 52:46
