  Speaker 1: We'll do it, making mornings great again. The first thing
• 0:06
  today on the tunk Media apples Joe Thomas.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: We'll do it, Jewart said, steal me step every day,
• 0:16
  at least for work.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: When the sun comes up, drops a kid to score.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Joey is epything, a dream, do all the needs. No
• 0:27
  one that Joe sais smiled.
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: He only aims.
• 0:34
  Speaker 5: Joe In case you didn't know, we're lying on Saturday.
• 0:40
  You know I failed subtle the class in radio broadcasting school.
• 0:45
  Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:47
  on the radio program that tells you what happened and
• 0:50
  then breaks it down for you from where I sit
• 0:54
  and then wants to hear most importantly about how it's
• 0:58
  impacting you where you are at four three four eight
• 1:02
  eight two four two one seven. I still get goosebumps
• 1:05
  thinking we're back on one o three point nine FM
• 1:09
  on Long Island where all this started. I was just
• 1:14
  thinking about, you know, all the things that have happened
• 1:16
  in my life. I mean, there was the tipping point
• 1:19
  that Malcolm Gladwell moment where the Burger king and Roosevelt
• 1:24
  Field told me I had no authority over my staff,
• 1:27
  and I said, you know what, the job stinks. I
• 1:29
  don't even have authority. I quit and I had already
• 1:32
  left all the other Burger King franchises on Long Island,
• 1:35
  and I said, okay, dumbass, what are you going to
• 1:38
  do now? You said, well, you know, in high school
• 1:39
  you really loved radio, and at that moment, sitting in
• 1:43
  the dining room the Roosevelt Field Burger King, they should
• 1:46
  be a little plaque to Joe Thomas there. This is
• 1:50
  where Joe Thomas's radio career began. But from that point
• 1:55
  to one oh three point nine FM on Long Island,
• 1:59
  where I met my wife, we had our first child,
• 2:01
  we realized mornings was where we needed to be to
• 2:04
  help you start your day. I mean, it all started
• 2:07
  there and it's so neat to be back on there. So,
• 2:10
  you know, despite the rate, you know, and unlike the
• 2:13
  Long Island Railroad, my rates have not gone up in
• 2:18
  any of the decades that we've done this program. Absolutely
• 2:21
  the same price we were charging you back in the in
• 2:24
  the nineties when we were on one oh three point nine.
• 2:27
  You know, there's a thing about trying to be trump ish.
• 2:31
  You know, there's a lot of people in the world
• 2:33
  who try to get their Trump on. And I'm not
• 2:35
  talking about the guys like Sean Farish, who was he
• 2:39
  in Tennessee now, he used to be one of the
• 2:41
  founders of the Long Island Loud Majority with Kevin Smith.
• 2:46
  You've seen him. He's been to marri Lango. He did
• 2:49
  his Trump impression for President Trump. I'm not talking about
• 2:53
  the impressionists. I'm talking about people who try to act
• 2:58
  like Trump. I always face palm over this stuff. And
• 3:02
  Stephen Chung, communications director for the White House. I mean this,
• 3:06
  You don't get to be much bigger in American politics
• 3:11
  than the person who writes the words that go on,
• 3:14
  you know, Barack Obama's teleprompter or into Joe Biden's auto pen.
• 3:20
  Although I have to say I probably there's a little
• 3:23
  bit in my heart that says trying to be communications
• 3:25
  director for Donald J. Trump is probably not the easiest gig.
• 3:30
  But dude, you don't get out there and start spouting
• 3:33
  off about the Nobel Peace Prize Commission, putting politics over
• 3:38
  people or peace or anything like that. Because Donald Trump
• 3:42
  is a fan of the woman who won the Peace Prize.
• 3:47
  We'll talk about that this morning. But people who try
• 3:50
  to think, you know, and Gavin Newsom's just like it.
• 3:53
  They think they know what Trump does, and maybe we
• 3:58
  need to add a chapter to the Joe Thomas in
• 4:01
  The Morning Field Guide to the American Left, just as
• 4:04
  a primer for you to understand if don't try to
• 4:08
  be Donald Trump, don't try to think like you know
• 4:11
  what Donald Trump does. I don't think Don Junior, or
• 4:15
  Eric or Lara or any of them know what Donald
• 4:20
  Trump does or how he does it. I'm not even
• 4:23
  sure Don Senior knows. He just does things. So we'll
• 4:29
  get into the Peace Prize awarding yesterday and why I
• 4:34
  really like the person who won it. But first two,
• 4:38
  the unions. It's always a good morning when the first
• 4:40
  word and the first things is unions. Federal workers' unions
• 4:44
  have asked a judge to intervene and halt the government
• 4:47
  shut down related layoffs that the administration announced Friday. Russ
• 4:52
  Vogde announced at least forty one hundred federal employees are
• 4:57
  about to lose their job. The riffs have begun. Russ
• 5:02
  Vote wrote on his ex account, the ceasefire in Gaza
• 5:07
  has begun and Israel has begun to pull out its troops.
• 5:12
  On Friday and tens of thousands of Palestinians making their
• 5:15
  way back to their neighborhoods after two years of the
• 5:19
  war since the invasion of Israel and the murder of
• 5:23
  their civilians. The Israeli military said its troops ceased fire
• 5:27
  at noon nine Greenwich meantime in preparation of the ceasefire.
• 5:34
  In related President Trump is expected to arrive in Israel
• 5:37
  Monday morning to address the Kanesse and meet with three
• 5:41
  hostages before departing later in that same day. The Justice
• 5:46
  Department is preparing criminal charges against John Bolton, former National
• 5:51
  security advisor in the first Trump administration. Prosecutors in Maryland
• 5:57
  have said they are weighing whither to seek injury indictment
• 6:01
  or move faster by filing a direct court complaint. President
• 6:06
  Trump said Friday he's placing an additional one hundred percent
• 6:09
  tax on Chinese imports starting on November one or sooner,
• 6:17
  in response to export controls being placed on rare earths
• 6:21
  by China. Rare earth minerals being key to cell phone
• 6:24
  and tablet development. President Trump also called Venezuelan opposition leader
• 6:30
  Maria Corina Machado she is the one who did win
• 6:34
  the Nobel Peace Prize to congratulate her. She dedicated the
• 6:41
  award to President Trump and the Venezuelan people, saying, this
• 6:46
  immense recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans to be
• 6:49
  free is an impetus to conclude our task to conquer
• 6:55
  for freedom. And the President is in excellent health according
• 6:59
  to the doctor's at Bethesda.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
• 7:04
  people are actually happier with it, that sounds like something
• 7:07
  to look into. And that's meta Share. Maybe you've heard
• 7:10
  joining metashare can save you or your family up to
• 7:13
  five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge, but it's
• 7:16
  also true. People are just happier with it. They love
• 7:18
  being part of something that reflects and promotes their values
• 7:21
  and what they believe in. Meta Share works too. It's
• 7:24
  been around for thirty years now and members have shared
• 7:27
  more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills. People
• 7:31
  love having telehealth and a huge nationwide ppo networks. So yeah, really,
• 7:36
  you can save a ton and like it better. Imagine
• 7:38
  being happy with how you're taking care of your health care,
• 7:40
  whether you're self employed or part of the gig economy,
• 7:43
  or you just want to plan that you're happy with.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: Here you go.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: You can call right now and get a price within
• 7:48
  two minutes. A very very smart use of two minutes.
• 7:51

• 7:52
  Speaker 6: It's eight five to five share forty eight five five
• 7:55
  share forty eight five five share.
• 7:59
  Speaker 7: Forty Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the
• 8:07
  few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market.
• 8:12
  I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
• 8:18
  our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to
• 8:22
  any nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing
• 8:26
  or reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51
  healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

  Speaker 9: Hi everybody, I'm Jack Hannah and it's always a boy.
• 10:01
  Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
• 10:03
  with animals. I'm not only in awe of their beauty
• 10:05
  and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
• 10:08
  at the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or
• 10:11
  Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
• 10:14
  or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
• 10:17
  secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
• 10:20
  jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
• 10:22
  in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
• 10:25
  by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
• 10:28
  wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 10:32
  they also perform life saving work every day.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: Dogs keep us.
• 10:35
  Speaker 9: Safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom
• 10:37
  suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when
• 10:41
  there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have
• 10:44
  a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society
• 10:46
  and help those in need. So please join me an

  Speaker 11: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 12: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
• 11:10
  heart and brain.

  first to notice when a veteran you love has been

• 13:11
  Speaker 1: The first thing today on the Talk Media Network by
• 13:15
  Joe Thomas.
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: Head living rent free.
• 13:22
  Speaker 16: He's Trump's every thread.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: So how do you do it?
• 13:28
  Speaker 17: I mean obviously he's acts, say standing out them, yes,
• 13:37
  So while he lives rent free in the frontal cortex
• 13:41
  of JB. Pritzker and you name it, and everyone who
• 13:46
  who even Republicans and I think Stephen Chung, White House
• 13:51
  communications director, when he tweeted, oh, it's a Nobel committee
• 13:57
  chooses politics over peace, and.
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: Which feeds the media frenzy that Donald Trump has done
• 14:06
  everything he's ever done to win the Nobel Peace Prize,
• 14:12
  that he's so manic over Barack Obama that he has
• 14:17
  to have all the same things Barack Obama has. That's
• 14:21
  if you listen to folks like Chris Hayes and Chris
• 14:25
  Matthews and these folks and Rachel Maddow and well, if
• 14:32
  you can listen to the five seconds of the view.
• 14:36
  They all think that all Donald Trump does is sit
• 14:39
  in a corner of the executive suites in the White
• 14:44
  House with pictures of Barack Obama on the wall and
• 14:49
  darts stuck into them and manically with his bug out,
• 14:55
  red ringed eyes, must get all things Obama had. He
• 15:00
  had two terms. Now I have two terms. He has
• 15:03
  a peace prize. I don't have peace prides. That's what
• 15:06
  they think. Donald Trump is doing all of this for
• 15:11
  so convinced they are. And to be fair, the President
• 15:17
  doesn't sit there and indulge them like he did during
• 15:19
  the first term. He used to try to argue points
• 15:23
  like this with him. He isn't. This is one of
• 15:26
  the most refreshing things of Trump. Two point zero is homie,
• 15:29
  don't care. He's going to do what he do, and
• 15:34
  he's going to say I really hope everyone sees the
• 15:36
  point of this and then moves on. It's like a
• 15:39
  fire hose out of sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue. It's brilliant.
• 15:45
  But before we get into this other stuff, the press
• 15:48
  is all soiling itself. New York Times, the Great Gray
• 15:53
  Lady on down are all their underpants over the snub
• 16:05
  of Donald Trump. It's the biggest story. They stop shooting
• 16:11
  in the Middle East, guys, regardless of who.
• 16:16
  Speaker 16: Can you spend a little columns inches on the bombs
• 16:21
  and the Israeli troops are leaving in the Palestinians going back.
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: Where is all this? Where's the where's the justice for
• 16:29
  Palestine crowd? Huh? Anyway, so the people think they know
• 16:35
  what Donald Trump does, so they text things like Stephen
• 16:39
  Chung did That's not Donald Trump. And everyone who tries
• 16:44
  to act Trumpish is foolish, especially the folks like Gavin
• 16:50
  Newsom and you name it, Pritzker. All these folks who
• 16:59
  try to act trump Ish just make themselves look silly
• 17:12
  because they don't get what he does. And I always
• 17:15
  once told that I do this radio show much like
• 17:20
  the President administers is. I say stuff long before anyone
• 17:25
  can prove it or anyone else is talking about it,
• 17:28
  and then three to four weeks later, I'll sit there
• 17:31
  and kindly say I told you so. And in many ways,
• 17:35
  in a much grander scale, that's quite an honor, especially
• 17:38
  since he and I are both kids from Queens, New York,
• 17:41
  and we both have what can be considered unusual haircuts.
• 17:47
  But you have to have that. You have to establish
• 17:49
  in your mind what is right, what is wrong, what
• 17:52
  needs to be done, what doesn't, and do it, damn
• 17:56
  the consequences, and just wait for the rest of the
• 18:00
  world to catch up with you. He wasn't would he
• 18:05
  turn it down. I don't think Donald Trump would turn
• 18:08
  down the Nobel Peace Prize. But the woman who won
• 18:13
  the Nobel Peace Prize is trying to oust the worst
• 18:18
  communist dictators in the Eastern Hemisphere, and that's a hemisphere
• 18:23
  that includes Cuba. She's trying to bring freedom politically, not
• 18:29
  just through revolution, but she's trying to use the political
• 18:33
  process to free and bring liberty back to Venezuela, which
• 18:37
  at one point was the most prosperous country in the
• 18:41
  Eastern Hemisphere not named the United States, and her efforts
• 18:50
  targeted in a place where they'll just shoot you continue.
• 18:55
  I have no problem at all, Nor does apparently Donald Trump,
• 18:58
  who called her, and then in her acceptance speech she said,
• 19:02
  I want to dedicate this to Donald Trump for the
• 19:06
  examples he set. And yet the people who have a
• 19:12
  Trump apartment in their frontal cortex for him to deliver and
• 19:15
  free just don't get it, and I get nothing for
• 19:19
  I'm not a Trump apologist, but just let's just deal
• 19:23
  in the honest to goodness. Let's deal with the real stuff,
• 19:28
  not the Oh well he's you know, he's fuming. I
• 19:31
  bet you was an ugly day in the West Wing. Oh,
• 19:34
  he must have had quite a tantrum because he's such
• 19:38
  an He is never been in their clubs, so they
• 19:42
  cannot cotton somebody who isn't in their club being there.
• 19:49
  And every minute he's there, he's an offence to them,
• 19:52
  like a splinter under their skin, just driving them insane.
• 20:00
  Their mania is our programming. That's for your dining and
• 20:04
  dancing pleasure. Let's get to you and find out how
• 20:07
  the news of the day is impacting you. On first
• 20:10
  Thing today with Joe Thomas, that's me. Who are you?
• 20:12
  Who's this? Good morning Joel, Happy Saturday, Joel. How are
• 20:17
  you doing this morning?
• 20:19
  Speaker 12: Happy Saturday. I want to comment in a couple of things. First,
• 20:23
  I have to comment on the hair things and you
• 20:25
  guys from Queens Man, that's funny, that's hilarious. Well, I
• 20:30
  don't have a ponytail, so I'm already jealous.
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: But you know, yeah, with my ponytail, somebody once told
• 20:35
  me if I ever needed to do a combover like
• 20:38
  President Trump has, I could do a wicked combover with
• 20:41
  the amount of hair I have growing down the back
• 20:43
  of my head. But at any event, So what are
• 20:47
  the things that have are burning on you?
• 20:50
  Speaker 12: So let's let's split this apart, right, So what are
• 20:55
  all these people these? I mean everybody, if you're in
• 20:59
  America and you're a citizen, you have a right to
• 21:04
  freedom of your expression and within limits, you know, within
• 21:07
  limits of not doing it, you know, to incite violence
• 21:10
  or hate. But what what are all these people angry about?
• 21:14
  With President Trump? It's just it seems like all his
• 21:18
  life he strives for doing things above one hundred percent.
• 21:22
  And and and these people have envy and self loathing
• 21:28
  because they're not putting the work effort in to do
• 21:31
  like he does.
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: And I look at it this way.
• 21:36
  Speaker 12: It's like, if you want to, if you want to achieve,
• 21:38
  you put the work effort in. And right now I'm
• 21:41
  trying to get work, you know, I'm trying to.
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: Get a job.
• 21:43
  Speaker 12: And I've made mistakes with with vocalizing the you know,
• 21:47
  to certain about certain things. But and and President Trump,
• 21:51
  he's not doing it for himself. Like he said, he
• 21:53
  can walk away.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: Millions of dollars. Hang on to that thought for a second, Joel.

  Fitness and the American Heart Association recommends that we all

  get at least one hundred and fifty minutes of moderate
• 22:10
  aerobic activity in a week's time. But here's the thing,
• 22:13
  that one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to
• 22:15
  be super intense. As a matter of fact, it could
• 22:18
  just be you moving your body and doing what you
• 22:20
  already love to do, like exercise. And a stronger heart
• 22:23
  doesn't just mean cardio, right, it means also infusing your
• 22:27
  workout routines with strength training as well. So we are
• 22:30
  super excited to be launching our new Plateloaded Strength series

• 24:07
  bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
• 24:12
  am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 24:18
  optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 24:22
  nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 24:26
  reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 24:31
  The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 24:36
  has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 24:42
  cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 24:45
  in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 24:50
  healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

  Speaker 5: Thank you for letting us be of service to you.

  Four three four eight eight two four two one seven
• 28:22
  The radio program that tells you what went on but
• 28:25
  also wants to know how it's impacting you. Joel was
• 28:27
  on the line when we headed for the news, talking about,
• 28:30
  you know how these folks so misunderstand why Donald Trump
• 28:34
  does things, how Donald Trump does things, and and so
• 28:39
  you get this situation where the laught trying to again
• 28:43
  tar and feather. The President is out there saying, oh
• 28:51
  my goodness, he's so awful. Look at what he did.
• 28:54
  He is he's so bent out of shape over the
• 28:59
  Nobel Piece prize being awarded to someone else. And they
• 29:03
  completely with at the story. And I believe, though I
• 29:11
  only have some decades in this business, that this is
• 29:15
  why they're losing viewers. Oh, they all blame social media,
• 29:20
  They blame fragmentation. They blame every YouTube channel that's out there,
• 29:25
  but you know what, you can start a YouTube channel two.
• 29:30
  And some of the few remaining broadcasts, at least broadcast
• 29:34
  newsrooms that are surviving, have grasped that YouTube is the
• 29:40
  new CBS, Rumble is the new Fox. These these Roku
• 29:52
  apps and things like that are allowing people to go
• 29:56
  out and search for Now, we've we've passed a tipic point.
• 30:00
  I'll get to you back in a second jol about
• 30:03
  my point about Donald Trump. But in the news consumption world,
• 30:10
  we have reached that saturation point, or we're very very
• 30:13
  close to it, where this is too many choices. I remember,
• 30:21
  and I'll draw the analogy to when I was running
• 30:24
  burger Kings, and I remember when they said, you know
• 30:27
  what we need, We need a salad bar I said.
• 30:31
  I remember being in the meetings saying how many people
• 30:35
  walk into burger King, thinking gosh, if I could only
• 30:37
  get a salad? And they said, no, we're trying to
• 30:40
  get in all those people who would never go into
• 30:43
  a burger king. I said, so you think that they're
• 30:47
  going to want a salad made by He said, oh no, no,
• 30:50
  we're not going to make the salad for them. We're
• 30:51
  going to put a bar of all the salad ingredients
• 30:54
  out in the dining room and they can choose for themselves.
• 30:56
  Do you know what everyone did? They came in and
• 30:59
  got some lettuce, some tomatoes, some onions, a little ranch dressing,
• 31:05
  sat down with their burger and French frise and ate.
• 31:09
  Nobody got the garbanzo beans, nobody got the three bean
• 31:13
  salad because there were too many choices. Nobody like, I
• 31:16
  don't know what I want. I want cottage cheese. I
• 31:18
  don't even know what cottage cheese is. And it suffered
• 31:25
  because there was a glut of choice. And bless everyone
• 31:31
  who can pay their electric bills doing what I do.
• 31:35
  It's not easy, but you reach a point where people say,
• 31:42
  you know what, just put the radio on. And this
• 31:45
  is why radio because it's portable, it's in the air,
• 31:48
  it's wherever you are. Is always going to win, is
• 31:54
  always going to survive. Might be number one, you know,
• 31:58
  we're always at least number three. Anyway, Joel, lem me
• 32:05
  get back to you at four three four eight A
• 32:07
  two four two one seven. So your point, though, I
• 32:10
  think is well taken, is that I think the mania
• 32:14
  is caused by they don't get what he's doing this for.
• 32:19
  Why are you here? And what it indicates to me?
• 32:22
  And you work with humans an awful lot more than
• 32:24
  I do as a nurse. I think it indicates that
• 32:28
  that's why they're in public service. They know that they're
• 32:32
  in public service to get something, to sneak away with, something,
• 32:39
  to steal the cutlery, to give themselves some booty that
• 32:43
  they weren't entitled to. So therefore Trump must be And
• 32:48
  I think that's one of the big tells in this
• 32:51
  game of political poker, don't you. I agree?
• 32:55
  Speaker 12: And let's go with titled and entitled. Right, He's titled.
• 33:00
  He's tight on himself as a brand. He's branded himself,
• 33:04
  and yes he is. He can't be a bombastic but
• 33:08
  who doesn't who once achieve? And his pride isn't for himself,
• 33:13
  it's for the American peoples, for the citizens. I mean,
• 33:17
  if I love I love the garbage truck when he
• 33:20
  was campaigning, one of the great moments in history.
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, that's just one of the great moments. Even
• 33:27
  even Larry Sabado at the UVA Center for Getting Larry
• 33:30
  Sabado mentioned on the News Center for Politics. You know
• 33:35
  had to admit that that was a master stroke.
• 33:40
  Speaker 12: I had an interview on Tuesday at one of the
• 33:42
  local hospitals here and the director of Nursey and goes,
• 33:48
  She goes, well, what do you what do you think
• 33:51
  about a team and your teammates? I said, first of all,
• 33:54
  we have to be you know, teammates amongst ourselves, within
• 33:57
  the floor or whatever wherever I'm applying. I said, but
• 34:00
  you have to look at the whole hospital, from the
• 34:02
  grounds keeper to the security to the food service. I said,
• 34:06
  because without one of them doing their job and doing
• 34:10
  it well and and producing their their form of work
• 34:14
  to what we need for this entity, everything everything else
• 34:18
  is going to be it's going to collapse. It's not
• 34:20
  going to be the it's not going to do well.
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: El said.
• 34:23
  Speaker 12: I think that's that's what he's looking at. He's looking
• 34:26
  at from the ground up, from the farmers who have
• 34:29
  been neglected, who have built this country, and who you know,
• 34:33
  George Washington was not only a farmer. He was a
• 34:36
  survey or.
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: He was a lawyer, he was a soldier. He was
• 34:39
  a show I mean, come on, how many jobs can
• 34:41
  a guy have? He was just showing off. I mean,
• 34:43
  all those founding fathers. How many things did they have
• 34:46
  to do? I granted, we must have only had like
• 34:48
  a population of fifty considering how many jobs all these
• 34:51
  guys had. I'm teasing, of course, don't call, don't call,
• 34:55
  don't call. Joel still on the phone. But anyway, what
• 34:59
  else on your mind, sir?
• 35:01
  Speaker 12: Well, when I went to Richmond, and I'm glad I
• 35:04
  did before a lot of this stuff changed. But most
• 35:06
  people don't know. Like the zero point for uh, you know,
• 35:11
  for the state of Virginia is in Richmond, and and
• 35:14
  it was done by Washington, and it's it's pretty cool,
• 35:18
  and it has all the different jobs and things that
• 35:21
  he talked about, and and it's it's an interesting spot.
• 35:26
  I mean, but when you dig into something that's that's minute,
• 35:30
  it becomes bigger in the sense of when you're getting knowledge.
• 35:33
  And I think that's what he's trying to do for
• 35:36
  the people that don't know America. He's trying to He's
• 35:39
  trying to say, hey, you know, it's all here, you
• 35:41
  just got to I'll help you with the opportunity. I'm
• 35:45
  not you know, the opportunity is there. It's given because
• 35:47
  you're an American. And that's what he wants it wantn't
• 35:50
  you know?
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: Well? And and I think you know your your comparison
• 35:53
  a little bit though. I think people will be oh,
• 35:55
  he compared him to Washington. Washington wasn't enormously popular when
• 36:00
  they when they dragooned Washington to the Constitutional Convention. It
• 36:05
  was because people were afraid of him. People didn't want
• 36:08
  to cross him. It was Yeah, some of it was
• 36:11
  because he was the hero of the battle to I
• 36:14
  was the occupying army of the British. But also he
• 36:18
  didn't take any bovine excrement from people. And I don't
• 36:22
  know what the eighteenth century expression was for it, but
• 36:26
  when he came into that Constitutional Convention, all the petty
• 36:31
  little you know, name calling turf wars went out the
• 36:38
  window because they knew Washington wasn't going to, you know,
• 36:42
  play in that sandbox and he wasn't going to cot
• 36:44
  in that. And I think that's one of the things.
• 36:47
  And I'm sure people will go, oh he compared dropped
• 36:49
  the washing, Oh my god, because you know, these are
• 36:54
  men of accomplishment. We love to tear down men of
• 36:57
  accomplishment because we don't want to put in the effort.
• 37:02
  I get it. All the time. Well, what gives you
• 37:04
  the right to have this radio show? Who gave you
• 37:06
  that or whatever? And you know, okay, Sonny, you get
• 37:10
  up at two o'clock in the morning and put the
• 37:12
  news together and see what you got. But I most
• 37:14
  rolled Joel. Good luck. I'm knocking on the wood for
• 37:17
  you for your job Hunt. You deserve it, and maybe
• 37:20
  they should make you director of nursing. It sounds like
• 37:22
  you get it better than maybe the head of some
• 37:24
  of these hospitals. It thanks Joe.
• 37:28
  Speaker 12: It takes courage to do what President Trump is doing,
• 37:31
  what Washington did.
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: It takes courage to do anything, you know. And that's
• 37:36
  the thing that if the last half hour means anything.
• 37:41
  Is the point about Trump is he's an example of courage.
• 37:45
  This is why this Machado woman that won the Nobel
• 37:49
  Peace Prize dedicated it to Donald Trump, because his example
• 37:55
  gives her strength to go after Nicholas Maduro.

  Speaker 1: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
• 44:16
  Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 44:19
  Speaker 24: Welcome, So what is it with these hotel us?
• 44:37
  Speaker 5: And I come to this point to you after having
• 44:40
  a revelation here in our flagship state we have a
• 44:43
  goobernatorial race, but we also have a lot of General
• 44:46
  Assembly seats open, as do many other states. Virginia and
• 44:51
  New Jersey get the attention because governor is something that
• 44:55
  the press understands member of your General Assembly or your
• 44:59
  legislature that I don't have time to figure out what
• 45:02
  district and what city and oh no, that's way too
• 45:06
  much Minutia for them. Nobody covered Barry Setero until he
• 45:11
  became US Senator Barack Obama. Then he had some and
• 45:16
  we'll put them on TV. But it's there's an organization
• 45:24
  just dumped five million dollars into about ten Virginia General
• 45:29
  Assembly races to try to flip them or keep them,
• 45:37
  to turn them from Republican and in Virginia's General Assembly.
• 45:40
  There's a small majority, it's one seat in both the
• 45:44
  upper and lower House. But I so when I was
• 45:48
  reading about this shadowy dark money group, and I have
• 45:53
  no compunction about calling them that because the left wing
• 45:56
  media wants to call anyone who gives money to a
• 46:00
  Republican from somewhere other than their own personal checkbook dart money.
• 46:07
  So if they could use the phrase, I'm gonna use
• 46:08
  the phrase the State's Project from their own information, of
• 46:17
  their own documentation. The State's Project connects the importance of
• 46:21
  state legislatures to every aspect of our lives and brings
• 46:25
  together communities to help build healthy, sustainable, and prosperous future
• 46:33
  for all. Karl Marx could have written at himself, so
• 46:40
  who is the States Project and why are they so
• 46:42
  interested in getting Democrats elected? The founder of the State's
• 46:48
  Project is a fellow named Adam Pritzker. I'm going to
• 46:53
  give you a second here. You've probably heard the name Pritzker. No,
• 46:58
  Adam is not the governor of Illinois. That's JB. Pritzker.
• 47:04
  He's his cousin. I said, really, Ukrainian American family. I
• 47:12
  think the Adams and the jbs are third generation, fourth
• 47:18
  generation on US soil. Their great grandfather was the one
• 47:22
  who emigrated from Kiev where he did gain of function research. No, no,
• 47:28
  he did. He made sugar in Kiev for and then
• 47:34
  came to the United States and they started this empire
• 47:37
  of hotels maybe heard of Hyatt hotels. And they sold
• 47:43
  out to one of the hedge funds, one of the
• 47:53
  big you know gobble you know, not Soros, but Buffett
• 47:58
  I think, sold out to Buffett's group Berkshire Hathaway and
• 48:03
  just cash big chap paychecks and they do stuff like this.
• 48:06
  Now they get their fingers in politics. They're like the
• 48:09
  Midwest Kennedy family. I'm just going through this family tree
• 48:13
  of all these Pritzkers and how they wind in and
• 48:16
  out of the hotel business. And my dad was a hotelier,
• 48:21
  and you know, my dad would show up in places.
• 48:24
  I gym invited to be at the New York branch
• 48:30
  of the Jerry Lewis Telethon to give a big check
• 48:33
  to Heraldo Rivera one time. I'm like, who is my dad?
• 48:37
  Who is the But apparently hoteliers are where all the
• 48:40
  power is. George Soros. Part of Soros's empire was the
• 48:45
  cash flow generated through his resorts and hotels. He helped
• 48:50
  Barack Obama get elected by giving one hundred dollars to
• 48:54
  every one of his resort employees, and then in the
• 49:00
  in the note with the one hundred dollars, said, this
• 49:03
  is for you, thank you for all your hard work.
• 49:05
  It would really make me very happy if you could
• 49:08
  see it within your heart to gift half of this
• 49:12
  to the campaign of Barack Obama. See if fifty dollars
• 49:16
  flies under the radar even for foreign contributions. And so
• 49:21
  they did, and Act Blue trafficked all the money and
• 49:24
  laundered it so you didn't see it coming from Greece
• 49:27
  and all the places where these hotels were. But I'm
• 49:30
  starting to wonder. I mean, technically, Jeffrey Epstein was taking
• 49:35
  people to fantasy Island, And now it makes sense why
• 49:40
  I see this blood spoil over ending the homestay industry.
• 49:44
  Vrbo and Airbnb have to stop all these people just
• 49:49
  staying places. People building hotel rooms in their homes and
• 49:54
  renting them out. Can't allow for that, Bob. It might
• 49:58
  democratize an industry that apparently has all these powerful people
• 50:02
  running it. Maybe we shouldn't be staying with people like
• 50:07
  the Pritzkers and the Soroses and the well certainly the Epstein's.
• 50:14
  It just seemed like an interesting odd connection to me
• 50:17
  that all these people in the Pritzker family in the
• 50:19
  Hyatt hotel chain. You don't know a lot about JB
• 50:25
  and his family, but oh my gosh, the family just
• 50:29
  goes on and on and on and on and on,
• 50:33
  the whole family tree from from you know, was it
• 50:38
  the first one Jacob Jacob Pritzker emigrates in the eighteen thirties,
• 50:49
  Jews fleeing Ukraine even then came to Chicago and they
• 50:56
  run the I mean this never mind capone and these
• 51:00
  Pritzkers are everywhere, and you look at the kids, JB
• 51:07
  and his sisters Penny, Anthony, his brother cousins Matthew and Jennifer,
• 51:16
  and Adam starts this you know, dark money group Noah,
• 51:29
  and they just work in the background and they're just
• 51:31
  involved in everything, and they have giant piles of money
• 51:35
  that they just use and it grows because they've got
• 51:38
  it in compounding interest. The greatest wealth generator ever invented.
• 51:43
  But they've got it compounding their interest. And then they'll
• 51:46
  go out on a stage and complain about capitalism because
• 51:51
  they've stepped away from capitalism. Now they're just using all
• 51:54
  the wealth they generated through capitalism to undo capitalism. Next
• 52:00
  time you see that corpulent Illinois governor out there poking
• 52:07
  his chubby little fingers into Donald Trump's chest, just to
• 52:11
  understand that this guy has been you know, never mind
• 52:14
  a silver spoon. Everyone complains about the money. Donald Trump
• 52:17
  grew up around because his dad was a middling apartment
• 52:21
  building builder, JB. Pritzker. He had the entire silver set
• 52:29
  up his ars when he was born. Never mind just
• 52:33
  the silver spoon. But these hoteliers, I don't know what.
• 52:38
  Maybe it's because they have video of all of us
• 52:41
  doing bad stuff like Jeffrey Epstein does. But maybe we
• 52:45
  should start staying at these vrbos more frequently.
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: My name is Bobby.
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: I'm a veteran and lost my leg to a roadside bomb.
• 52:55
  My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a
• 52:58
  weightlifting champion.
• 53:00
  Speaker 4: I'm Sam.
