  Speaker 3: The first thing today on the Talk Media Network by
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Joe Thomas.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: I love words.
• 0:11
  Speaker 4: I thank you for hearing my words. I want to
• 0:12
  Speaker 4: tell you something about words that I think is important.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: I love as I say.
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: They're my work, there my play, they're my passion. Words
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: are all we have.
• 0:20
  Speaker 5: Really, we have thoughts.
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: But thoughts are fluid, you know, and then we assign
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: a word to a thought, and we're stuck with that
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: word for that thought.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: So be careful with words.
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: George said, steal me step every day, at least for work.
• 0:44
  Speaker 6: When the son comes up, drops a pet.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Joe is everything a dream, all the treasures that he needs,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: no wonder.
• 0:55
  Speaker 7: Joe's smiled.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: He only aims. Please let it be thank you for
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: letting me be of service to you this morning.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: I want to be.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Here's how we roll. If you're new to the program,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: we tell you what went on last night's they tried
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: to sneak through the alley. And after we share our
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: analysis of the debris field, we tell you the phone
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: number and you call it and you tell us how
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: it is impacting you where you are four three four
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: eight eight two four two one seven it's a text
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: message and a telephone line either or because I know
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: how mornings are and it's much easier for you to
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: text message me than it is to get on get
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: on the phone and wait for me to get to
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: you and all of that, because you've got a morning
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: to get underway or getting a wrapped up, and you
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: know Christmas is bearing down and you realize it's Monday,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: and you're pardon me so quick warning if you're joining
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: us in progress. And I did not, i'n't prepped myself correctly.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: So a lot of first three in the morning coffee
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: going down this morning because we slept in a room
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: that was horrible combination of you know, harsh chemicals that
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: had been used to clean it and a thermostat that
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: was set at like eighty five degrees. And Saturday we
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: survived well enough. I was able to break up this
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: wax clog. I mean it felt like I had a
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: piece of wax that somebody had sat in the night
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: and just dripped hot wax, like sealing wax onto my throat.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: And it took half an hour of hot beverages and
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: honey and oregano and oh to get it broken up
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: and we're on the high side of it. It's healing.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: But what we've now done is we've scarred up the
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: tissues in there. My throat feels like it needs a
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: skin graft right now. So pardon me if every now
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: and then, you know, things go quiet for a moment.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: It's just that there's a coughing fit going on in
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Studio A. But we do what we can for you
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: because you need to know what is going on, what happened,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: and we will tell you that right now as we
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: begin our first things this morning and the stories that
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: we're covering for you for this morning. Department of Homeland
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Security is disputing reports that Acting Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Agency Director Madhu Gada Mukala failed a polygraph test after
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: trying to access highly sensive intelligence. An internal investigation and
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: suspension of multiple career cybersecurity officials deepen the turmoil inside
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the agency, and that's not an agency you want to
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I'm in, do you. Politico reported that Godamcala pushed for
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: access to tightly restricted intelligence programs that required counterintelligence polygraph
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: and at least six career staffers were placed on paid
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: administrative leave for allegedly misleading him about the requirement that
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: would never happen to somebody appointed by President Trump. The
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: US Department of Justice said it has restored a photo
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: to the website containing the currently released Jeffrey Epstein related documents.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: The photograph in questioned features President Donald Trump, and it
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: had been taken down according to the US Attorney for
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: the Southern District of New York, for additional review to
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: protect potential victims that may have been visible in the photograph.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: But it is back now despite the weekend long media
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: spasm over it. Wrap up of Turning Point USA's America
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Fest was highlighted by rapper Nicki Minaj, who came out
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: and celebrated the Trump administration's help on ending persecution of
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Christians in Nigeria. Minaj described the utmost respect she had
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: for the President's administration. Minnesota's fraud crisis that continues to
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: spread like kudzu, has garnered national headlines, certainly, but several
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: critics say the problem festered for years, aided by local
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: media that appeared uninterested in holding people in power accountable.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Dustin Grage of town hall dot Com said, in newsrooms,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: they're told we can't run that because We're going to
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: be accused of being racist when stories would come to
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: them that talked about fraud within the Somali community. Sixty
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: minutes took another hit on its credibility. That's right there
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: below the belt. The program is reportedly being dismantled by
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: new CBS administration and now apparently took down a story
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: over Venezuelan men's men being deported during the Trump administration.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: CBS sources said that the story had been fully fact
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: checked and there was no reason to take the story down.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I think this is premature. Really, I don't think we're
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: done yet, as I haven't even told them the story
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: about the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. They did missile exercises, and
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: what could be better than Iranian missile exercises and IDF
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Chief of Staff Lieutenant General El Zamir of Israel warned
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: the Trump administration that three Israeli and US sources with
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: knowledge of the issue said that this missile exercise it
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: could be cover for a sneak attack. Steve Witkoff meanwhile

• 13:19
  Speaker 2: If I'm in all a couple of emails on this
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: story into new All here, Joe, here are the selling points.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Do parishes.
• 13:34
  Speaker 18: We're not getting through walk in you blue, We're not
• 13:38
  Speaker 18: getting back to new aall.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: So, Uh, Jeff Landry, governor of Louisiana, has been given
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: a new job. And I was just it was one
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: of those where I almost wish I had a transcript
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: of the phone conversation. Hello, Jeff, it's done I need
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: you to go up and take over Greenland. And I'm
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: thinking what what the world does? And I tried to
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: find things. Teresa writes into JT in the Morning Radio
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: at gmail dot com. Joe, the mosquitoes are smaller and
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: it rains less. Okay, well there you go. That's your
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: selling point, Jeff. You leave New Orleans. The mosquitoes are
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: smaller and they and it rains less, snows a lot more,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: but you know, it rains a lot less. As Tony
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Robbins wants pointed out to us, it's what you focus on. Yeah,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: he's taking over as US Envoy to Greenland. So I
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: guess that will be a special election in Louisiana for
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: a new governor. His term was set to go through
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: twenty eight. So you get your hats out now if
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: somebody's going to need to be governor of well, I
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: know there are some folks that think, now you don't
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: need to go. The bureaucracy of Louisiana will operate just fine.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: It's one less person to cut in on the on
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: the action. Right. Ah, so cynical you've become at this
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: early hour of the morning speaking of and I don't
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: mean to speak ill of Governor DeSantis. But I know
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: a lot of folks along the Treasure Coast listening to
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: us this morning, thirty four million dollars for revitalization projects.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: You look and you say, okay, can I ask the
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: one question? Can I be the guy in the room,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: and I'm not trying to slag Governor DeSantis? How did
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: these areas become unvital? You See? This is the part
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: that makes people mad because when Republicans say, oh, I've
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: got money to give to a big company to move
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: in a high or a bunch of people that aren't
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: going to be on public assistance anymore, and everyone says, now,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: it's a tax break for the rich. But every time
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: I read about another one of these revitalization projects, the
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: first thing I think of is which black communities are
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: going to be uprooted so that you can build an
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: evacuation route from the next hurricane. Which power plant that's
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: been shut down for decades is going to need a
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Starbucks in it? Because once you start doing this stuff,
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: you can't go back because companies will sit and wait,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: they'll cross their arms and look at you and say,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: we really think you should come to the Treasure Coast
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: of Florida because it's awesome. Have you heard of WTTB.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: It's awesome. Yeah, But what are you going to give us?
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: It's always about what's in it for me, And aside
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: from having a great workforce or anything like that, the
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: sales pitch usually comes down to how much tax money
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: I can give you, how many tax breaks can I
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: give you? And is there a poor Black community or
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: poor Latino community that we can uproot under the banner
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: of community revitalization. Happened here, happened here in Charlottesville. When
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: they built the Eisenhower Interstate system, some well placed members
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: of the UVA fraternities alumni in the Senate and the
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: House and in their committees said, we would really like
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: one of those interstates to come through Charlottesville. And the
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: US Department of Transportation engineers, doing what engineers did, looked
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: around and said, have you seen the roads in your town.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: You really don't want tractor trailers trying to get around
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: on these paved goat paths. They said, tell you what,
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: we'll bring Interstate sixty four through Charlottesville, Virginia if you
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: build some highways around the town, some bypasses so that
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: the trucks that have no interest in being in town
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: can get around it. The problem was that the two
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: places where these roads would go around Charlottesville were very
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: wealthy communities. And I'm sorry, it is what it is.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: There was enough money there and it had nothing to
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: do with politics, Democrats and Republicans working together. It's like
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: the dogs and cats in the second Ghostbusters movie pooling
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: their moneies. UVA professors and engineers and alumni and all saying, oh,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: you can't build a highway through our town. There's a big,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: expensive private school there. But there was one project the
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: US Department of Transportation said you needed to build, which
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: was a big six lane boulevard through the middle of town.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: That one got built before you could finish drying the
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: ink on the requirement. Why because it went through the
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: poor black community. So come on, Blacks, pack up your stuff,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: close your businesses. We're going to give you public housing
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: because we need to do a revitalization project here on
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Fifth Street Extended. And every time I bring this up,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: dear friends of mine in the area will complain, say, yeah,
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: but the area was run down. The buildings were a ramshackle,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: the houses weren't as beautiful as they could be, or
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: as they were in the past, or anything like that.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: And that brings me back to this Treasure Coast story.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Why doesn't anyone, whether they be Kathy Hochl in New
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: York or Ron de Santis in Florida, address what happened
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: to the vital zed communities? What happened to these formerly
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: vital community communities? When did they stop being vital and
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: what could have happened that drove the vital vitality out
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: of these communities. And it has been my experience that
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: if you push hard enough on that question, you will
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: find government behavior, taxes, regulations, zoning, not in my backyard programs.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: And so when they come along and say we're going
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: to tear up all these ramshackle buildings in the black
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: community to build a better highway and then we can
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: have some shopping centers along, and say, well, why did
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: this community become unvital? If you need to revitalize something,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: there had been vitality there that had been driven away.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: And it's always, it is always on the government's inclinations
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: to do these things, the taxes, the zonings, the not
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: in my backyard capitulations that create an unvital community. And
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: then their answer is, let's move everyone out, tear up everything,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: build a nice highway exit ramp or boulevard, slap some
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: public housing that we can do a ribbon cutting in
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: front of. Put the poor Latino or Black communities in there,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: pat ourselves on the back and say, look at the
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: cool stuff we did, and maybe we'll make the cover
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: of local government weekly magazine. Look at what we did,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: look at our revitalization project. I'm just like I said,
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: I'm not slagging round to sadus. This could happen with
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Tim wall so that money would never make it to
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: the project with Tim.
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: Hey Brandt and her name is Sharey.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: I love.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: She's a friend of mine who we were just praying
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: for because of a surgery.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: She just went through.
• 22:09
  Speaker 19: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
• 22:12
  Speaker 19: talk about all the time, which is meta share. That
• 22:14
  Speaker 19: is right.
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So what was your experience like with meta share
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: and healthcare ability?
• 22:18
  Speaker 19: Honestly, Brandt seamless and what a blessing that is when
• 22:21
  Speaker 19: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was,
• 22:24
  Speaker 19: members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
• 22:28
  Speaker 19: me tell you, having people pray with you when you
• 22:31
  Speaker 19: call in with your need.
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: That is just refreshing.
• 22:34
  Speaker 19: Yes, that's what it is.
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: I keep telling people people love meda share and they
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: love saving money. Typical family can save five hundred dollars
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: a month.
• 22:42
  Speaker 19: I am very thankful for Meta Share. It is so different,
• 22:46
  Speaker 19: and I mean different in a very very good way.

• 23:06
  Speaker 21: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
• 23:11
  Speaker 21: better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
• 23:16
  Speaker 21: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports
• 23:20
  Speaker 21: veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
• 23:25
  Speaker 21: personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
• 23:31
  Speaker 21: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
• 23:35
  Speaker 21: on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
• 23:40
  Speaker 21: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
• 23:44
  Speaker 21: AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
• 23:48
  Speaker 21: your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
• 23:53
  Speaker 21: center of our profession. For more information on AI and

  Speaker 2: No, you can find the Knights in whitesat And they're

  Speaker 2: Hey, do I get credit for at least knowing that
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: off the top of my head? I mean, it has
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: been forever, almost five ever since the last time I
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: heard a version of Knights and White Satin with that
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: poem at the end of it. But you know that
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: being as it may, you know, we do what we can,
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: so you know, I did my own recreation for dramatic
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: recreation of Knights in white Satin on this Monday morning,
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: heading towards Christmas time. I know that a lot of
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: folks got with the Jefferson Coinshop jcsgold dot com to
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: try to get the silver rounds and get them in
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: time for Christmas. They're amazing things. They're one part ornament,
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: one part investment your silver. Hang them on your Christmas tree,
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: lock them somewhere so some kid doesn't forget and think
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: that they go with the Grinch figurines. James Luck is
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: on with us from jcsgold dot com. Happy Monday, James.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: How are you doing, sir?
• 30:15
  Speaker 18: I'm joll well Joe, and I think we just have
• 30:18
  Speaker 18: a few Christmas rounds left, and I think they're only
• 30:22
  Speaker 18: the painted one. But today will probably the very last
• 30:25
  Speaker 18: day and those.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Will be sold out after today. They may be sold
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: out already. I haven't checked yet this morning, but I
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: know we.
• 30:32
  Speaker 18: Were down to our last few. You know, I think
• 30:35
  Speaker 18: you you might have known something last week, Joe.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: I thank you. Why look or not?
• 30:42
  Speaker 18: But silver is sitting at sixty nine dollars and ten cents,
• 30:46
  Speaker 18: and I think you have a full of seventy dollars
• 30:49
  Speaker 18: before the end of the year, and I think you
• 30:50
  Speaker 18: might know something.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: I no faster than you can say, Hunt Brothers. I
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: will deny that I have any insider information on that,
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: but I just I was watching the way it was
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: every time we talked. You think you've reached some pinnacle
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: and there's another pinnacle right beyond it. And how sixty
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: nine dollars an ounce for silver, that is that is
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: impressive stuff, which makes these ornaments even cooler, right.
• 31:16
  Speaker 18: That's absolutely right. Yeah, because they are a silver investment.
• 31:21
  Speaker 18: They're decorative and they make a great ornament for a
• 31:24
  Speaker 18: Christmas tree, but they're also one ounce of pure silver,
• 31:26
  Speaker 18: so they're a great silver investment also. And silver, you know,
• 31:29
  Speaker 18: being at sixty nine dollars and ten cents is up
• 31:32
  Speaker 18: almost three percent so far overnight gold is up one
• 31:36
  Speaker 18: and a half percent to four four hundred and ten dollars,
• 31:40
  Speaker 18: so gold is also setting new all time highs at
• 31:43
  Speaker 18: the same time, which is great to see. But we're
• 31:45
  Speaker 18: twenty twenty five has definitely been a record year for
• 31:47
  Speaker 18: gold and silver stand out on the on the historical
• 31:51
  Speaker 18: charts for a long time.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and those charts are all available. It's full transparency zone.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: They're at JCS gold Dot. You can look at gold
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: and silver prices against other indices. You can compare it
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: to the New York Stock Exchange, which may or may
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: not still be in New York this time next year.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: I've been hearing I was in the New York metropolitan area, James,
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: And that's that's the whole story is. Can you imagine
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: such a thing? I said, yeah, I'm old enough to
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: remember the last time the New York Stock Exchange threatened
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: to move out of New York City.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: And now they're apparently threatening to move all their stock
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: trading and all the banks that go with them outside
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: of New York over the election results. I believe it
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: when I see it. But you can compare to oil
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: prices to pretty much anything you can invest in outside
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: of Mickey Mantle trading cards. And I'm sure given enough
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: time you could probably get up Mickey Mantle trading cards.
• 32:50
  Speaker 26: Yeah, that would be a good comparison to put on
• 32:53
  Speaker 26: to add to the charter. You can compare it to oil,
• 32:56
  Speaker 26: the S and P, the dal Jones and Mickey mental cards.
• 33:00
  Speaker 26: That would be a that would be a good uh,
• 33:02
  Speaker 26: price comparison there, that's we should look into that accutely.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Last week, my wife and I went to our local
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: county clerk's office to renew our concealed carry permits, and
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: the lady asked me if I wanted mine back. I said, heck, yeah.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: It says City of Charlottesville on it. That's a collector's
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: item right there, and she laughed. I said, I mean,
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: I didn't collect baseball cards, but I'm pretty darn sure
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: there's not a lot of people that have one of
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: those issued by the City of Charlotte. Would be like one,
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: you know, for City of New York or the city
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: of Tampa Bay. You know, it's a it's a rarity
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: and maybe those those become trading cards at some point
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: when when that's all said, oh hey guys, don't don't
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: let me forget about what Albanis is trying to do
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: in Australia. Anyway, James, this could to hear your voice
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: on this Monday morning and and keep keep on keeping on.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Four three four nine seven nine co I N. That
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: is the phone number for Thejefferson Coin Shop, or you
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: visit them online at jcsgold dot com. But believe me.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: It's worth the phone call to talk to James's family business.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: No call center there, it is folks right there at
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: the store. I want to help you have a great Monday.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: James will talk to you tomorrow.
• 34:17
  Speaker 18: Thanks Joe, you too.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: So the Prime Minister of Australia, in reaction to the
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: Bondai Beach shootings, has announced that he's basically going to
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: go after everyone's guns because it was the gun that
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: was the thing. It wasn't the guy holding the gun.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: And this is classically what we see happen time and
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: time again. It is these politicians who just cannot find
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: it in their heart to actually call out what it
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: is that went wrong on at beach in Sydney. We
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: have the Albanese clip. I know we technically used it
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: Saturday morning, but this is for from the Monday through Friday, Crown.
• 35:12
  Speaker 8: We expect hundreds of thousands of firearms will be collected
• 35:15
  Speaker 8: and destroyed through this scheme, consistent with the approach that
• 35:19
  Speaker 8: was taken in in ninety six.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Nineteen ninety six. Oh what good years for liberty back
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety six. So it's basically a nationwide gun
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: buy back, because that's what caused the shooting at Bondai Beach. Meanwhile,
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: security footage now shows the guy throwing unexploded ordnance bombs
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: at the Jewish community celebrating the beginning of Hanukkah. And
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: go back to what I said earlier about you have
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: the right to follow your faith right up to the
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: point of where it is impacts someone else, and I
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: don't care you don't. Unfortunately, there are too many politicians
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: like this story out of Minneapolis who view defending somebody's
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: rights as racist. So the folks at town Hall, Dustin
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: Grage wrote a piece and he was interviewed over the
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: weekend and several of the talkers on this just burgeoning
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Minneapolis fraud situation. In the Somali community, there will always
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: be somebody saying, you know what not I'm not saying
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: all the Somalis do this, but when it's caught, this
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: is what grade rights. In newsrooms, they're told we can't
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: run that story because we're going to be accused of
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: being racist. Every time they came across the story of
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: somebody else in the Somali community, which certainly seems like
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: it happened quite frequently, stealing taxpayers money. We were told
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: to look the other way. The media was because apparently
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: it's okay in their country to steal from the government
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: and the other taxpayers. Maybe that's their defense to this
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: is that, oh yeah, that's how things are done in Somalia.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: Ask Ilhan Omars. She'll explain to you. They were just
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: enacting a do it yourself version of the philanthropy. They
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: decided they could do it better and more directly than
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: the Minnesota government could. And as long as people in
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: the media and Tim Walls were going to look the
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: other way, well, you know, we got away with the
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: last million dollars. Let's nick another million dollars and see
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: what we can do with it.
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: Life can change so abruptly.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: Just ask Paul.
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: He's a hard working entrepreneur, he's young, he's got a
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: young family. Suddenly, though, he develops a rare medical condition
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: where he lost the use of both of his arms.
• 38:14
  Speaker 13: I could no longer drive a car, couldn't use a computer,
• 38:16
  Speaker 13: couldn't type, couldn't use a mouse. I could not hold
• 38:18
  Speaker 13: my son, who was about a month old.
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: Paul and his family were facing a mountain of medical bills,
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: but they're so thankful that they're members of meta share.
• 38:27
  Speaker 13: I think if someone asked me, like, hey, does medicare
• 38:30
  Speaker 13: really work? I'm living proof that it works. My four
• 38:33
  Speaker 13: children are living proof that it works. My arms, which
• 38:36
  Speaker 13: have been healed, are living proof that Menashare works. Just
• 38:40
  Speaker 13: knowing the emotional peace of mind, knowing that our needs
• 38:42
  Speaker 13: are going to be taken care of when we have
• 38:44
  Speaker 13: some type of medical problem, that is such a huge
• 38:46
  Speaker 13: blessing to us.
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: It could be a huge blessing to you to people
• 38:50

  Speaker 8: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 39:08
  Speaker 8: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 39:13
  Speaker 8: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 39:19
  Speaker 8: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 39:23
  Speaker 8: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 39:27
  Speaker 8: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 39:32
  Speaker 8: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 39:37
  Speaker 8: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 39:42
  Speaker 8: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 39:46
  Speaker 8: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 39:51
  Speaker 8: healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

  Speaker 1: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.

  Speaker 2: I'm not only in alle of.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: Their beauty and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: Just look at the birds who gather supplies to build nests,
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: or Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: they also perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: whom suffer from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: when there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: have a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to

  Speaker 11: And now a speech.

  Speaker 17: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
• 42:11
  Speaker 17: heart and brain.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: Who's with me?
• 42:13
  Speaker 13: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
• 42:16
  Speaker 13: brain is saying when it's time to go home.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: Somebody call me a ride.
• 42:20
  Speaker 22: Love that guy, me too.
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when

  Speaker 29: Life feel so fun business for you, and there's nothing

  Speaker 29: that you can't doten to.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: So I was talking about this over the weekend on
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: the way out to Trans Siberian or show in New York,
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: and I was asking a friend of mine who used
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: to work in the auto transport business. He was a
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: cabby and an ambulance driver, and I said, did you
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: know he mentioned Uber And I said, Uber survived New
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: York City's attacks on them. He goes, yeah, you know
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: what they gave up, you know, really trying to kill him.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: He said, it's basically killed the medallion cab business because
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: you just you know, the Uber is your cab now
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: and you order it online. And it's proof again that
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: an industry that doesn't recognize how things are changing can't
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: keep up. There are a couple of cab companies I
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: know of in Virginia that started their own smartphone app
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: years and years ago to keep up with Uber, and
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: they said, you know, this is if this is how
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: people want to order up a cab, who are we
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: going to argue otherwise? And New Yorkers, you know, they go, well,
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: it's tradition. You just stand on the street corner waving it.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: Every yellow cab that goes buying an splash with water.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: It's you know, the subject of a dozen rom coms, Joe,
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: what are you trying to ruin tradition? But as you know,
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: New York played out and just like our story about
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: the infrastructure hamp down on the Treasure Coast, says, it
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: looks like infrastructure. That's always what it looks like. Camp.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: We're going to widen the roads, We're going to increase
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: the access. We're going to widen the exit ramps, and oh, well,
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: this ugly apartment building's going to have to go. That's
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: where all the poor people live. Well, they're going to
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: have to find someplace new, aren't they. But the prosperity
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: of our town will increase if we take some state
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: money from other taxpayers and widen the road or expand
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: up fountain in front of our courthouse. Courthouses are all
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: the thing these days now. Our flagship city is just
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: immolating itself over new courthouses. Got to have new courthouses.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: Nobody can find justice anymore, but we all have new courthouses.
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: Courthouses are the twenty twenty five version of a baseball stadium.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: Too many people started criticizing these towns saying, wow, I
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: think we should build a baseball stadium and try to
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: attract a minor league ball club to ours eddy. And
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: so they tried that, and they spent tons of taxpayer money,
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: and then eventually had to turn around and say, you know,
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: maybe if we put a casino into the empty baseball stadium.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: It's just it's fascinating to me that the government will
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: cause this kind of economic decline. And then insist they
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: are the only ones to fix it. It is why I
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: coined the phrase years ago, Munchhausenes by government syndrome, And
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: it always gets somebody prickly about, you know, the DSM
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: or whatever it is. Yeah, I understand, I understand. Munchausen's
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: by proxy syndrome is a real and very deadly and
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: just horrific affliction that punishes kids unnecessarily for a mental
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: condition that needs to be treated in their parents. I
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: get that. But the same is true with government officials
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: who feel like they have to be seen as the
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: answer men and women. Nobody ever lives by Reagan's mantra,
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: It's amazing what you can get done if you don't
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: care who gets credit, because you can't find somebody who
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: doesn't want to get credit. And if they don't take
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: credit for the project, what they'll do is they'll take
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: credit for not taking credit, and we wind up with
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: unvital communities. And then somebody says, hey, let's build a
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: new courthouse. What's the matter with the other courthouse. Well,
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: it's downtown where oh, I don't know, everyone is. Yeah,
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: but the parking is in sufficient, Okay, build new parking.
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: Why do you need a new courthouse because it's a
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: new courthouse. Okay, pardon me. By the way, Sinus is
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: still trying to do skin grafts inside my wind pipes
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: after horrific allergy situation in our trip to the Great
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: White North. But they they insist these urban renewal projects
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: of building a new courthouse, which, as I pointed out,
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: is laughable considering how few citizens these days view courthouses
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: as places to get justice. Now, if they were building
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: new courthouses and we're keeping the other ones act, I'd say, okay,
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: you're doing something, some extra court space so we can
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: have more justices hearing more cases. But we don't. We
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: cut back there because oh, well, we don't want the
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: school to prison pipeline. If we have fewer judges and
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: fewer courtrooms, well then we'll have fewer people going to jail.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: Kareem writes in with a Louisiana mantra, vote for the crook.
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: It's important, but the human spirit towards innovation, towards doing
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: it themselves, and Uber and all these places came about
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: obviously the confluence of the technology being available, but the
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: idea that we were locked in our houses and all
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: these companies came about. And what's the first thing government
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: tries to do with VRBO or somebody trying to run
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: an airbnb is come after them because they're already taxing
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: the red matter out of the hotel businesses. And these
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: people come along and run an Airbnb and they're not
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: paying their hotel taxes. Oh my gosh, how about you
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: cut the hotel taxes on the hotels. Now, what are
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: we going to do for money, Joe nothing, Give us
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: an honest accounting of what it is you need in
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: your government coffers and why, and we might just give
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: it to you. But all this passive aggressive I'll tax
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: all these things that you don't know are taxes coming
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: into our coffers. Are how you wind up with unvital
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: neighborhoods that need vitalization, whether it be a new courthouse
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: where the Democrats can protest outside saying no justice, no peace,
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: and they can hold their protest marches about how we
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: have a justice system just simply locking up the brown people,
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: while the press ignores all the brown people that got
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: moved out of the neighborhood where the new courthouse went.
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, did I hurt your feelings? Because that's what
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: happens is we'll move everyone out from a black community,
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: put up a new courthouse, and then insist that the
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: courthouse is only there to put more black people in jail,
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: wash rinse, repeat.
• 52:51
  Speaker 30: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 52:55
  Speaker 30: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 52:57
  Speaker 5: It was metishet that came through force.
• 53:00
  Speaker 19: There was no hassles, there was no problem.
• 53:02
  Speaker 30: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
• 53:05
  Speaker 30: of such an incredible ministry.
