- 0:33Speaker 7: He on the eggs.
- 0:38Speaker 4: Joe, thank you for letting us be of service to
- 0:40Speaker 4: you this morning.
- 0:41Speaker 6: I want to be.
- 0:44Speaker 4: Eight eight two four two one seven. That's how we
- 0:48Speaker 4: do it. We'll tell you what went on last night.
- 0:50Speaker 4: Then you can use that number four three four eight
- 0:52Speaker 4: a two four two one seven to tell us how
- 0:56Speaker 4: it's impacting you, either by text message or with the
- 1:00Speaker 4: traditional type of phone call. There and we'll chat. Or
- 1:03Speaker 4: I will do my best, my Richard Burton best to
- 1:07Speaker 4: read your words as he did the Bard. Or you
- 1:11Speaker 4: can send an email to JT in the Morning radio
- 1:14Speaker 4: at gmail dot com. Coming to you from the Conservative
- 1:18Speaker 4: Political Action Conference. And for those you know, you know
- 1:21Speaker 4: when you get an acronym. People just like having a
- 1:23Speaker 4: three day weekend. People forget what the acronym stands for conservative?
- 1:28Speaker 4: What is conservative? And I know in years past it
- 1:32Speaker 4: was a hornet's nest of differing opinions on what conservative means.
- 1:39Speaker 4: And of course you've got neocon, which is what people
- 1:43Speaker 4: you know will throw around for military hawks folks like that.
- 1:49Speaker 4: They'll say, oh, you're just a neo con, and that's
- 1:53Speaker 4: an epithet to then disparage you, and then you have
- 1:57Speaker 4: no opinion anymore. And all of these things, all of
- 1:59Speaker 4: these missiles, they bug me because conservative means listen, decide
- 2:05Speaker 4: and don't do it to someone else. You don't impose
- 2:09Speaker 4: your will on someone else. And anything to me that
- 2:13Speaker 4: starts to impose somebody else's will on you, now that
- 2:19Speaker 4: comes with a quid for the pro quo. Of course,
- 2:22Speaker 4: then you're also not going to get funding for it either.
- 2:25Speaker 4: So that's the other side of it is that you
- 2:28Speaker 4: can't just expect somebody to pay for something and then
- 2:31Speaker 4: not be held to some account for it, because when
- 2:36Speaker 4: they do that, then you're what's called a beggar. And
- 2:43Speaker 4: you don't want to be a beggar. I know that.
- 2:47Speaker 4: But I will tell you what went on last night
- 2:50Speaker 4: as we get our first things out there, some doings
- 2:53Speaker 4: in the Middle East, some clarity as well regarding present
- 3:00Speaker 4: and gifts left uncentered there, So we dive first in
- 3:05Speaker 4: to travel. President Trump said Thursday he's going to sign
- 3:09Speaker 4: an emergency order instructing Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen
- 3:15Speaker 4: to immediately begin paying TSA agents, as Congress still can't
- 3:20Speaker 4: seem to get together on a deal to end the
- 3:22Speaker 4: budget impasse, as Democrats have dug in their heels saying
- 3:26Speaker 4: we want to get rid of ICE. Meanwhile, ICE officers
- 3:29Speaker 4: have inflamed the American left, who are calling newspapers and
- 3:33Speaker 4: writing op eds all across the country how they're intimidated
- 3:37Speaker 4: out of flying and using ICE agents to check travelers
- 3:42Speaker 4: identification documents is causing people to be afraid if they travel.
- 3:49Speaker 4: Should only make you afraid if you're not a documented citizen.
- 3:57Speaker 4: Secretary Traveling Secretary of State Marco Rubio is off to
- 4:02Speaker 4: Europe to meet with the Group of Seven leaders in France.
- 4:07Speaker 4: As he left, he said the Iranian negotiations are an
- 4:11Speaker 4: ongoing and fluid process. This flies in the face of
- 4:14Speaker 4: reports yesterday from the Iranian Foreign Minister, who was speaking
- 4:19Speaker 4: for the Ayatola and the Council of Experts said, we're
- 4:24Speaker 4: not looking at that fifteen point plan, so we don't
- 4:27Speaker 4: know exactly who they're discussing anything with, but they're discussing
- 4:30Speaker 4: it with someone. He also said that the European leaders
- 4:33Speaker 4: have to understand that the bombardment of Iran is their
- 4:38Speaker 4: war as well. The other countries get far more of
- 4:41Speaker 4: their fuel from there than we do, Rubio said as
- 4:45Speaker 4: he headed off to the G seven. President Trump said
- 4:49Speaker 4: Thursday that Iran had allowed ten oil tankers, mostly flying
- 4:54Speaker 4: Pakistan's flag, to pass through the Strait of Hormuz as
- 4:58Speaker 4: a goodwill gesture tied to the negotiations. That was the
- 5:02Speaker 4: President the president that the President mentioned earlier in the week.
- 5:08Speaker 4: San Francisco federal judge Thursday blocked the administration from enforcing
- 5:12Speaker 4: a sweeping ban on artificial intelligence at the Pentagon from
- 5:16Speaker 4: anthropic US can continue to detain immigrants without bond, according
- 5:25Speaker 4: to an appeals judge in Saint Louis, overturning a lower
- 5:28Speaker 4: court ruling that required that a native of Mexico arrested
- 5:33Speaker 4: for lacking legal documents be giving a bond hearing before
- 5:36Speaker 4: an immigration judge and the European Union Parliament voted Thursday
- 5:42Speaker 4: to approve a trade deal that would set tariffs at
- 5:45Speaker 4: fifteen percent on most goods coming into the United States
- 5:49Speaker 4: from the European Union. And those are some of our
- 5:52Speaker 4: Friday morning first things here on the Talk Media Network.
- 6:00Speaker 8: Every state is home to significant historic sites that tell
- 6:03Speaker 8: the American story, but not every site is telling that
- 6:07Speaker 8: story honestly and fairly. That's why the Heritage Foundation created
- 6:11Speaker 8: the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites. This interactive guide equips
- 6:15Speaker 8: American citizens with the tools they need to enjoy the
- 6:19Speaker 8: sites that depict some of the greatest moments in our
- 6:21Speaker 8: nation's history, analyzing them for historical accuracy, and provides resources
- 6:27Speaker 8: for families or educators planning a visit. It currently covers
- 6:31Speaker 8: over forty five sites in the thirteen original colonies, but
- 6:34Speaker 8: sites from all fifty states will be added in time
- 6:38Speaker 8: for citizens to celebrate America to fifty this summer. From
- 6:41Speaker 8: Mount Vernon to Independence Hall to Gettysburg and more. Americans
- 6:46Speaker 8: deserve transparency, and sites that steward our history faithfully deserve
- 6:51Speaker 8: our gratitude. The Heritage Guide to Historic Sites invites every
- 6:55Speaker 8: American to rediscover the places and stories that define our nation.
- 7:00Speaker 9: It's across the country.
- 7:01Speaker 3: Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
- 7:04Speaker 3: people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
- 7:07Speaker 3: to look into.
- 7:08Speaker 4: And that's meta share.
- 7:10Speaker 3: Maybe you've heard joining metashare can save you or your
- 7:12Speaker 3: family up to five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge,
- 7:15Speaker 3: But it's also true. People are just happier with it.
- 7:18Speaker 3: They love being part of something that reflects and promotes
- 7:21Speaker 3: their values and what they believe in.
- 7:23Speaker 2: Meda Share works too.
- 7:24Speaker 3: It's been around for thirty years now and members have
- 7:27Speaker 3: shared more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills.
- 7:31Speaker 3: People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide ppo networks.
- 7:35Speaker 3: So yeah, really, you can save a ton and like
- 7:37Speaker 3: it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
- 7:40Speaker 3: of your health care, whether you're self employed or part
- 7:42Speaker 3: of the gig economy, or you just want to plan

- 7:59Speaker 1: Forty Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas Yes?
- 8:08Speaker 1: Actually three known gases. I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric oxide
- 8:14Speaker 1: is a gas that's readily made all day long to
- 8:18Speaker 1: keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
- 8:23Speaker 1: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
- 8:28Speaker 1: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 8:32Speaker 1: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this

- 13:30Speaker 4: delivery me. It's a great case. But we're only entreying
- 13:36Speaker 4: on this because I get letters, I get emails, I
- 13:39Speaker 4: get texts, and I want to hit some of these
- 13:42Speaker 4: because I know how mornings are, and not everybody has
- 13:45Speaker 4: time to make a phone call about the news of
- 13:47Speaker 4: the day or how it's impacting you, or perhaps something
- 13:51Speaker 4: you've seen in it that just doesn't add up. But
- 13:57Speaker 4: a couple of folks emails and texts J Tea in
- 14:00Speaker 4: the Morning radio at gmail dot com, and you do
- 14:03Speaker 4: the email thing and text messages two four three four
- 14:07Speaker 4: eight eight two four two one seven, And this one
- 14:14Speaker 4: Florida was with I guess jumping off our conversation with
- 14:18Speaker 4: the Texas Values mister Seine's signs pardon me. Just a
- 14:24Speaker 4: few minutes ago before the top of the hour news,
- 14:27Speaker 4: Florida was with Texas when Roe versus Wade was overturned.
- 14:32Speaker 4: The supporters summit at Meches was led by Judge Andrew Napolitano,
- 14:38Speaker 4: who led the talk with the words sixty three million murders.
- 14:44Speaker 4: You know, that's the thing about abortion that makes it
- 14:49Speaker 4: such a prickly issue. And I was detailing this. Who
- 14:53Speaker 4: was I talking to yesterday? But we were talking about
- 14:56Speaker 4: a conversation I had with my daughter and and we
- 15:01Speaker 4: were talking about a great Christmas conversation with you hey
- 15:06Speaker 4: about abortion. I don't think that's how we started the conversation,
- 15:10Speaker 4: but we were at my sister in law's house and
- 15:13Speaker 4: her husband and my daughter and I were all kind
- 15:16Speaker 4: of in the dining room, and somehow the subject came up.
- 15:20Speaker 4: My brother in law is a huge talk radio fan,
- 15:23Speaker 4: talk television fan, watches all the shows, knows all the people,
- 15:28Speaker 4: and he brought up something that had happened in one
- 15:31Speaker 4: of the states regarding the response after Roe versus Waite,
- 15:36Speaker 4: which was the states need to come up with rules.
- 15:39Speaker 4: You need to come up with a plan in your state.
- 15:42Speaker 4: Virginia's is pretty horrific right now. But this was before
- 15:46Speaker 4: they said here hold my beer. And my daughter said
- 15:51Speaker 4: at the predicate of the conversation, oh, dad, you know,
- 15:54Speaker 4: I'm sent her left. And my brother said, well, that'll
- 15:58Speaker 4: be interesting. I'm senter right, And I said, well, let's
- 16:01Speaker 4: put it to a test, and I used the abortion
- 16:04Speaker 4: issue since it had come up, as a test to
- 16:06Speaker 4: see how center left my daughter was. And the first
- 16:12Speaker 4: question was, if you can hear a heartbeat, is that
- 16:17Speaker 4: or is that not life? And my daughter said, no,
- 16:20Speaker 4: that's life. I said, I'm sorry, kid, You're not center
- 16:24Speaker 4: left then, because the center left is well, how strong
- 16:31Speaker 4: of a heartbeat is it? How do we know it's
- 16:34Speaker 4: not just a ghost heartbeat? How do we know what
- 16:36Speaker 4: that heartbeat would how do we know how much tax
- 16:39Speaker 4: revenue that heartbeat would generate for us? And all the
- 16:41Speaker 4: other nonsense, some of it I'm making up. But as
- 16:44Speaker 4: soon as my say okay, and you're not center left.
- 16:48Speaker 4: You may be square on center, but you ain't left.
- 16:52Speaker 4: And the heartbeat is what's been at the crux of
- 16:57Speaker 4: this since the days of row here in Texas, where
- 17:01Speaker 4: Roe v. Wade was first, And keep in mind miss
- 17:05Speaker 4: Rowe has recanted her position on it seeing what it
- 17:10Speaker 4: had become and nuance to this. People who want the
- 17:16Speaker 4: Supreme Court know this. Supreme Court rulings are often more
- 17:21Speaker 4: about how the original court case was written, what was
- 17:26Speaker 4: the original filing in the case. And in Rose case,
- 17:33Speaker 4: the attorneys, instead of talking about the right of the
- 17:39Speaker 4: mother to live her life, the mail order, contraception rights,
- 17:47Speaker 4: or anything else, argued that it was a medical privacy issue.
- 17:52Speaker 4: So when you throw medical privacy in front of a
- 17:55Speaker 4: Supreme Court in the seventies. Nowadays, Oh, believe me, the
- 18:01Speaker 4: same Roe v. Wade adherents, the same Roe v. Wade cultists,
- 18:09Speaker 4: were the ones who wanted to make you all have
- 18:12Speaker 4: to get a vaccine card to walk out the street
- 18:15Speaker 4: and go down to your mailbox. That was a And
- 18:23Speaker 4: I said to the leftists in the audience, I said,
- 18:26Speaker 4: are you ready to sacrifice Roe versus Wade on the
- 18:29Speaker 4: altar of covid or what do you mean we don't
- 18:34Speaker 4: have to do that. I said, sure you do, because
- 18:38Speaker 4: you know I could sue under Roe v. Wade under
- 18:40Speaker 4: the same premise. I'll just take the words from Roe
- 18:42Speaker 4: versus Wade and said, y'all ain't got no right to
- 18:46Speaker 4: know what I'm doing with my doctor. And oh well, ajah,
- 18:58Speaker 4: because Roe v. Wade had become such a almost an
- 19:04Speaker 4: iconic ruling that people forgot what the ruling actually was,
- 19:08Speaker 4: which was about the government's right to know what you
- 19:12Speaker 4: were doing with a doctor. There but nobody will mail
- 19:19Speaker 4: in the mifipristone the morning after pills. All this stuff
- 19:23Speaker 4: have made this the new form of contraception. Do what
- 19:33Speaker 4: you want, take a pill in the morning. What other precedents.
- 19:36Speaker 4: Are we going to do about that? And it's debased
- 19:39Speaker 4: the conversation of how do we get kids to not
- 19:44Speaker 4: think that this is a good idea. Not that I'm
- 19:48Speaker 4: Purian or anything like that. I'm just saying that, you know,
- 19:52Speaker 4: engaging in congress, as the Khama Sutra puts, it has
- 19:57Speaker 4: a biological outcome, and I don't think kids really that
- 20:00Speaker 4: they figure the biological outcome is I take a myth
- 20:03Speaker 4: for pristone pill in the morning and I'm good to go.
- 20:09Speaker 4: And guys love it. Guys love it because you know
- 20:12Speaker 4: the barrier system. We all hated the barrier system, right. Oh,
- 20:16Speaker 4: it's so awkward. It impedes my groove. You know, it's
- 20:21Speaker 4: got a heartbeat. It's a life. So I appreciate the
- 20:27Speaker 4: text on that one. This one about the European Union.
- 20:31Speaker 4: European Union got thrown out of Iran. Lots of people
- 20:35Speaker 4: got thrown out of Iran. The point I was making
- 20:38Speaker 4: was that it is Europe's conflict as much as it's anyone's.
- 20:47Speaker 4: Who was behind the mass migration and the collapses in
- 20:51Speaker 4: Syria that led to the mass migrations that have overrun
- 21:00Speaker 4: like Germany, et cetera. Anyway, this story from the New
- 21:10Speaker 4: York Post. USPS has already lost one point three billion
- 21:15Speaker 4: dollars this year. Cash shortages might halt mail delivery, according
- 21:20Speaker 4: to the Postmaster. In twenty twenty seven Yahoo News, USPS
- 21:28Speaker 4: says it may not deliver mail in a year. So
- 21:34Speaker 4: is that I'm I'm looking at the comments on some
- 21:38Speaker 4: of these stories. It's in the constitution not delivery to
- 21:42Speaker 4: your house. It isn't. We can debunk some of that
- 21:45Speaker 4: because that's what we do here. The future First Lady
- 21:48Speaker 4: of Florida is going to sit down with us in
- 21:50Speaker 4: a little bit. Here. It's live from Seapac, brought to
- 21:53Speaker 4: you by Heritage Foundation, the Virginia Institute for Public Policy,
- 21:57Speaker 4: and Seafact dot org.
- 22:01Speaker 19: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage. National League Training for Planet
- 22:04Speaker 19: Fitness and the American Heart Association recommends that we all
- 22:07Speaker 19: get at least one hundred and fifty minutes of moderate
- 22:10Speaker 19: aerobic activity in a week's time. But here's the thing
- 22:13Speaker 19: that one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to
- 22:15Speaker 19: be super intense. As a matter of fact, it could
- 22:18Speaker 19: just be you moving your body and doing what you
- 22:20Speaker 19: already love to do, like exercise, and a stronger heart
- 22:23Speaker 19: doesn't just mean cardio right, it means also infusing your
- 22:27Speaker 19: workout routines with strength training as well. So we are

- 28:50Speaker 4: the school choice You know, ever since twenty twenty, I
- 28:53Speaker 4: thought we were making such great progress, but it feels
- 28:55Speaker 4: like there are states trying to push back of it.
- 28:58Speaker 4: Erica Donalds's down with us here, Erica, thank you for
- 29:02Speaker 4: all the work in school choice. Why haven't we gotten further?
- 29:06Speaker 23: Well, we have made tremendous progress, and even since COVID,
- 29:10Speaker 23: it has accelerated tremendously. During COVID, we had no states
- 29:13Speaker 23: that had universal school choice program zero zero, and today
- 29:17Speaker 23: we have seventeen states with universal access. Right, we need
- 29:21Speaker 23: more funding to fund all the parents that want. We
- 29:23Speaker 23: have lots of witless around the country, but places like
- 29:26Speaker 23: Florida and Arizona are universal. Truly, any family that wants
- 29:29Speaker 23: school choice can have it now. We just passed the
- 29:31Speaker 23: federal school choice program, where twenty eight states have already
- 29:35Speaker 23: opted in. It starts one one of twenty twenty seven.
- 29:38Speaker 23: So although we're not anywhere close to every family in
- 29:41Speaker 23: America having a school choice, over half of the students
- 29:44Speaker 23: in America are eligible for a school choice program.
- 29:46Speaker 9: We've actually come a long way.
- 29:47Speaker 4: I thought we were so close in our home state
- 29:50Speaker 4: of Virginia when some series was leading the charge, I
- 29:53Speaker 4: was at rallies with all these parents from the urban
- 29:56Speaker 4: areas Norfolk and Richmond, and and then we fumbled the
- 30:01Speaker 4: ball and it was a blind spot and I felt
- 30:03Speaker 4: so bad about it. I don't know if you've seen this,
- 30:06Speaker 4: but in twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, a lot of
- 30:10Speaker 4: rural communities were not school choice supporters. So once we
- 30:14Speaker 4: won over the inner cities, I thought that's it. We're
- 30:16Speaker 4: in And all the rural communities, you know, and they're representatives,
- 30:20Speaker 4: voted against it. And I didn't understand why. I thought
- 30:22Speaker 4: it was Republicans turning on another Republican. And one of
- 30:27Speaker 4: our delegates explained it to me, says, yet to remember,
- 30:30Speaker 4: in Mike County, we only have one school, so what
- 30:33Speaker 4: does a parent want with school choice? Now we have
- 30:37Speaker 4: these micro school programs, and it was like we've reinvented
- 30:41Speaker 4: the one room schoolhouse. It seems like there's a brush
- 30:44Speaker 4: fire for this now really going on in communities, charter
- 30:49Speaker 4: schools and all that.
- 30:50Speaker 9: Are you seeing the same thing, Erica, Yeah, absolutely. Here
- 30:52Speaker 9: in Texas where we are for seapac.
- 30:54Speaker 23: There was blocking of school choice for years and years
- 30:57Speaker 23: until Governor Abbott said no more.
- 31:00Speaker 9: He got involved in primaries.
- 31:01Speaker 23: And opposed all of the people who had voted against
- 31:04Speaker 23: school choice. Ended up with a bigger program than he
- 31:07Speaker 23: had originally tried to pass.
- 31:09Speaker 9: But it was a lot of those rural Republicans.
- 31:11Speaker 23: And now we have some incredible online programs where homeschooling
- 31:15Speaker 23: doesn't mean what it did when I was young, right,
- 31:18Speaker 23: It doesn't mean that you have to be the teacher
- 31:20Speaker 23: of all subject areas for your children. You actually can
- 31:23Speaker 23: outsource that teaching to tutors, to online programs and they're
- 31:27Speaker 23: tremendous resources. With AI coming in, families can have a
- 31:31Speaker 23: lot more control over how their children learn. They can
- 31:35Speaker 23: customize their children's learning. Whether they're in a rural community
- 31:38Speaker 23: we've seen some incredible micro school ideas come up, or
- 31:41Speaker 23: they're in the inner city. If you allowed parents to
- 31:44Speaker 23: vote on whether we should have school choice or not,
- 31:46Speaker 23: you would not have a problem.
- 31:48Speaker 4: You know, it's interesting you bring up, you know, the
- 31:52Speaker 4: movement towards more and more parents saying I can do this.
- 31:57Speaker 4: That's you know, I guess one of the bigger fears
- 31:59Speaker 4: is you know, can I teach science? But we were
- 32:02Speaker 4: talking to the folks from the American Teachers Association here
- 32:05Speaker 4: and they're saying more and more teachers are saying, no,
- 32:08Speaker 4: let me go freelance, Let me go be hired out
- 32:12Speaker 4: by a group of parents to come and teach science
- 32:15Speaker 4: once a week to their community. They're earning more, they're
- 32:18Speaker 4: having more freedom, They're doing what they love to do.
- 32:21Speaker 4: Are we winning the teachers over? Because I always feel
- 32:23Speaker 4: like that's going to be one of the hardest selves.
- 32:25Speaker 23: We're getting there. I always say that education freedom is
- 32:28Speaker 23: educator freedom. It gives educators another place to go because
- 32:32Speaker 23: in a lot of these communities they have one employer.
- 32:35Speaker 23: So of course, how do you negotiate a better salary
- 32:37Speaker 23: when you only have one choice of a place to work.
- 32:40Speaker 23: So it helps educators as well to be able to
- 32:42Speaker 23: realize their dreams. My foundation, Education Freedom Foundation, we have
- 32:46Speaker 23: a start a School initiative. Many of the people that
- 32:49Speaker 23: are starting schools across this country using our free resources
- 32:52Speaker 23: are educators. They have an idea of how they think
- 32:55Speaker 23: they could do it better, or they want to specialize.
- 32:58Speaker 23: They want to be a science teacher from multiple schools
- 33:01Speaker 23: or multiple programs. And we help them to do that,
- 33:04Speaker 23: and we help them to be on these platforms, these
- 33:06Speaker 23: school choice platforms, so parents can use their education savings
- 33:10Speaker 23: accounts to pay those teachers, and the teachers, like you said,
- 33:14Speaker 23: can have more flexibility and ends up getting paid more.
- 33:17Speaker 4: Erica Donald's is on with us from the Education Freedom Foundation.
- 33:21Speaker 4: Where can people find you online? First? Before I ask
- 33:24Speaker 4: you the next question.
- 33:25Speaker 23: Your edfreedom dot org is our foundation. Of course, I'm
- 33:28Speaker 23: at Ericadonald's on all social media, but if you want
- 33:30Speaker 23: to start your education freedom journey, go to your edfreedom
- 33:33Speaker 23: dot org.
- 33:34Speaker 4: So I was talking about this earlier in the week
- 33:37Speaker 4: before we headed down here to Dallas. A fellow was
- 33:40Speaker 4: telling me that about six seven states have passed or
- 33:44Speaker 4: are trying to pass legislation to now block or lay
- 33:49Speaker 4: blankets of regulation on top of school choice, where all
- 33:52Speaker 4: of a sudden, you have to register with the state,
- 33:55Speaker 4: or you have to have this license from the state,
- 33:58Speaker 4: or all these things. Connecticut, West, Virginia, a few others there.
- 34:03Speaker 4: What do you say that folks in those states to
- 34:06Speaker 4: watch out for.
- 34:07Speaker 23: Yeah, there is a resurgence of attacking homeschooling because it's
- 34:11Speaker 23: exploded so much. It's actually doubled in just the last
- 34:14Speaker 23: few years, gone from about three and a half ten
- 34:17Speaker 23: to seven percent, and our polling shows that another seven
- 34:21Speaker 23: percent would homeschool if they could. So you're talking about
- 34:25Speaker 23: going from a very small number to a very large
- 34:29Speaker 23: percentage that at least wants to homeschool. So it's no
- 34:32Speaker 23: wonder that the monopoly and the status quo is going
- 34:35Speaker 23: to come after homeschooling and try to take control of it.
- 34:39Speaker 23: We have been able to beat that back in several
- 34:41Speaker 23: states as well. But yes, parents need to be vigilant.
- 34:44Speaker 23: We have some incredible homeschooling organizations, the legal organizations that
- 34:48Speaker 23: are fighting those battles in the States, and we need
- 34:50Speaker 23: to continue to support them.
- 34:51Speaker 26: Well.
- 34:52Speaker 4: It's also a reminder politically that just because you think
- 34:55Speaker 4: you've won something, don't don't fall asleep on it.
- 34:58Speaker 23: Yes, you have to be for ever vigilant, especially when
- 35:01Speaker 23: it comes to education of our children. There is nothing
- 35:05Speaker 23: more personal and there's nothing more important than the education
- 35:08Speaker 23: of our children, the values that are being instilled in
- 35:10Speaker 23: them every single day. That's one of the number one
- 35:12Speaker 23: reasons that families choose alternatives to public schools because of
- 35:16Speaker 23: values alignment as well as safety it's not all about
- 35:19Speaker 23: academic performance, although that's a big reason to get out
- 35:22Speaker 23: of the traditional public schools.
- 35:23Speaker 9: Based on their record.
- 35:24Speaker 4: I mean, look at just as a tangent on that.
- 35:27Speaker 4: A few years ago, all the Ivy League schools said
- 35:30Speaker 4: their number one group of new admissions test scores we're
- 35:36Speaker 4: all coming from home school families. I mean, that's the
- 35:39Speaker 4: iv League saying.
- 35:40Speaker 9: That, right.
- 35:40Speaker 23: And now you have alternatives to the SAT and ACT
- 35:44Speaker 23: with the Classic Learning Tests that are helping students to
- 35:46Speaker 23: access higher education. More and more colleges and universities are
- 35:50Speaker 23: accepting that test as well. So there's a lot to
- 35:53Speaker 23: celebrate when it comes to education freedom in this country,
- 35:56Speaker 23: but so much more work to do to make sure
- 35:58Speaker 23: that every single student in this country is in a
- 36:01Speaker 23: place where they can learn and thrive, where they love
- 36:03Speaker 23: going to school and learning every single day. I know
- 36:06Speaker 23: that's what I wanted from my children, That's why I
- 36:08Speaker 23: got into this, and that every educator has a place
- 36:10Speaker 23: where they can thrive in their professional careers. That's what
- 36:14Speaker 23: school choice is all about.
- 36:15Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the answer to that, where I went
- 36:17Speaker 4: to school in New York is what we would say
- 36:21Speaker 4: to that. Erica is so great to meet you. Thank
- 36:24Speaker 4: you so much for coming by, for our listeners in
- 36:27Speaker 4: Florida down in the Treasure Coast and the Analog and

- 36:45Speaker 23: that is going to be the model.
- 36:46Speaker 4: For the nation, and he's not going to be able
- 36:48Speaker 4: to duck out on it if it doesn't go through Erica.

- 39:04Speaker 1: Considered by most Optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 39:08Speaker 1: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 39:13Speaker 1: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 39:19Speaker 1: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 39:23Speaker 1: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 39:27Speaker 1: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 39:32Speaker 1: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,

- 41:00Speaker 10: I'm Jack Hannah, and it's always a boy. Growing up
- 41:02Speaker 10: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 41:05Speaker 10: I'm not only in all of their beauty and kindness,
- 41:07Speaker 10: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 41:09Speaker 10: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 41:13Speaker 10: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 41:16Speaker 10: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 41:18Speaker 10: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 41:21Speaker 10: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 41:23Speaker 10: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 41:26Speaker 10: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 41:30Speaker 10: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 41:33Speaker 10: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
- 41:36Speaker 10: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
- 41:38Speaker 10: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
- 41:42Speaker 10: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
- 41:44Speaker 10: variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
- 41:47Speaker 10: help those in need. So please join me an American

- 42:11Speaker 16: art and brain.
- 42:12Speaker 4: Who's with me?

- 44:12Speaker 2: Absolute question for you from Joe Thomas means the first
- 44:17Speaker 2: thing today.
- 44:33Speaker 4: That's what we do here. We say the quiet part
- 44:36Speaker 4: out loud. It is a programming philosophy downloaded tray seem
- 44:42Speaker 4: to go there. Four three four eight A two four
- 44:45Speaker 4: two one seven is our phone number and you can
- 44:49Speaker 4: text same number there or you can email JT in
- 44:54Speaker 4: the morning radio at gmail dot com. In all of Christendom.
- 44:58Speaker 4: All the things we get into trigger people. With the
- 45:02Speaker 4: discussion of the US Postal Service, you know what, we
- 45:05Speaker 4: all rely on it, and we, much like Row versus Wade,
- 45:10Speaker 4: we misunderstood what it actually. You know, the constitution, well
- 45:14Speaker 4: you got to have the post office constitution said so,
- 45:17Speaker 4: but to what level? We'll get into that in a
- 45:19Speaker 4: little bit. But first, our friend James is here from
- 45:23Speaker 4: jcsgold dot com and how are gold and silver doing?
- 45:28Speaker 4: They had that fire sale yesterday. James, how are you
- 45:31Speaker 4: doing this morning?
- 45:34Speaker 26: Gold and silver are in the green so far this
- 45:36Speaker 26: morning gold is up about three cores of a percent,
- 45:39Speaker 26: up thirty five dollars to four thy four hundred and
- 45:43Speaker 26: thirteen dollars. Silver is up about a third of a percent,
- 45:47Speaker 26: twenty five cents up to sixty eight dollars and twenty
- 45:50Speaker 26: one cents. So trying to hang in there, trying to
- 45:53Speaker 26: find some stability and uh and get back in.
- 45:56Speaker 4: The green well. And that's the opportunity I bet to.
- 46:00Speaker 4: There were a lot of people saying, I can add
- 46:02Speaker 4: to my portfolio today, right.
- 46:06Speaker 17: That's exactly right.
- 46:07Speaker 26: We had a lot of clients excited yesterday. Just can't
- 46:10Speaker 26: believe that they were handed this gift. A couple of
- 46:13Speaker 26: them said, of the lower prices so they could buy
- 46:16Speaker 26: more and add to their stacking position. So that was
- 46:20Speaker 26: pretty cool to see. And we'll see where golden soilver move,
- 46:23Speaker 26: you know, from here. But of course, like I always said,
- 46:26Speaker 26: it's a it's a zoom out mentality to look at
- 46:29Speaker 26: the long term trends of gold and sober, which you
- 46:31Speaker 26: can see there on our website at jcscool dot com.
- 46:34Speaker 4: Well, and the important thing is that you have it,
- 46:36Speaker 4: so when the prices come down, it's not about oh
- 46:39Speaker 4: I better sell it, it's oh I can get more
- 46:41Speaker 4: of it. That's the that's the thing that you got
- 46:44Speaker 4: to be watching for. It's not about I better sell
- 46:46Speaker 4: high and buy low. That's for your that's for your
- 46:49Speaker 4: stock portfolio. This is this is buy it and hold it.
- 46:53Speaker 26: You're exactly right, you know, And that's something that we
- 46:55Speaker 26: talked to our clients a lot about also, is that
- 46:58Speaker 26: you know, when you when you feel like you need
- 47:00Speaker 26: it and you feel like you really want it, that's
- 47:03Speaker 26: that's it's too late. By that point, you're not going
- 47:05Speaker 26: to be able to get it. The premiums are going
- 47:07Speaker 26: to be so high, everywhere is going to be out
- 47:09Speaker 26: of stock whatever. So you don't want to be in
- 47:12Speaker 26: this scenario to where you're like, oh, man, I wish
- 47:14Speaker 26: I bought that back then when when I was thinking
- 47:16Speaker 26: about it, or any of that, or I'm not saying
- 47:19Speaker 26: you have to, you know, spend your whole portfolio.
- 47:22Speaker 2: At one time.
- 47:23Speaker 26: It's an easy and type of thing that you build
- 47:25Speaker 26: over a period of time and hopefully, you know, we
- 47:29Speaker 26: don't need it for crazy inflation. You know, hopefully we
- 47:31Speaker 26: don't need it for you know, a wild economy. But
- 47:34Speaker 26: that way you do have it in case you in
- 47:36Speaker 26: case you do need it.
- 47:37Speaker 2: In the future.
- 47:38Speaker 4: Well, you mentioned something the other day I mean, and
- 47:40Speaker 4: I guess people do this is they they have a
- 47:44Speaker 4: weekly or a monthly plan. It's like, hey, I'm going
- 47:47Speaker 4: to buy one hundred dollars worth every you know, pay
- 47:50Speaker 4: period or whatever and whatever that gets, it gets. And
- 47:55Speaker 4: I think that's a smart way to do it. That way.
- 47:57Speaker 4: You know, you're not distracted somebody called from the own
- 48:00Speaker 4: company or the gas you know, delivery is late or
- 48:02Speaker 4: whatever it is. Uh, and you get distracted from it,
- 48:05Speaker 4: you miss some miss some opportunities. Yeah, that's exactly right.
- 48:09Speaker 26: A lot of people, uh, you know, do have this
- 48:12Speaker 26: plan to where they they come to our website, they
- 48:14Speaker 26: buy their same you know group of silver or gold
- 48:18Speaker 26: you know, once a month, once a week. Uh, you know,
- 48:21Speaker 26: and we have a lot of repeat customers that are
- 48:23Speaker 26: doing that, and we you know, we shift those items
- 48:25Speaker 26: out to them, you know, on that schedule and uh.
- 48:27Speaker 26: And and they're really building a position.
- 48:29Speaker 2: Uh.
- 48:30Speaker 26: And a lot of times they'll leave a note and say,
- 48:32Speaker 26: you know, the stack of silver is getting bigger and
- 48:35Speaker 26: you know, looking forward to you know, filling the tube
- 48:38Speaker 26: you know of silver eagles or or buffalo rounds or
- 48:41Speaker 26: something like that. But you know, people really do enjoy
- 48:44Speaker 26: after doing it for for about six months or so.
- 48:47Speaker 26: The so looking and they're safe for wherever they're storing
- 48:50Speaker 26: their gold and silver and saying, wow, you know, I
- 48:52Speaker 26: really do have quite a bit of precious metal now,
- 48:54Speaker 26: which is which is very cool.
- 48:56Speaker 4: You reminded me of something. Of course, the Luck family
- 48:59Speaker 4: started in it says new mismatists, which was good because
- 49:03Speaker 4: we were getting tired of the old mismatists. But you know,
- 49:08Speaker 4: people with those tubes and you would save your pennies
- 49:10Speaker 4: or your nickels in those paper tubes and bring them
- 49:13Speaker 4: to the bank. You should, you should come up with
- 49:15Speaker 4: a line of those for gold coins. Just you know,
- 49:18Speaker 4: oh look I've got another role. Put it over here
- 49:20Speaker 4: and make it. You know, if if you fill this
- 49:22Speaker 4: one it's one pound or something like that, i'd be
- 49:25Speaker 4: kind of cool. Promotional idea exactly.
- 49:28Speaker 26: Yeah, yeah, that's a great idea.
- 49:30Speaker 4: So what oh they're telling me I should have charged
- 49:33Speaker 4: you for that.
- 49:34Speaker 19: Nah.
- 49:34Speaker 4: Nah, It's all part of the service, ma'am. James. You
- 49:37Speaker 4: have a great weekend. We'll talk to you on Monday.
- 49:40Speaker 4: That's great.
- 49:40Speaker 15: Thanks.
- 49:40Speaker 4: Joe four three four nine nine. Coin is how you
- 49:44Speaker 4: call the Jefferson Coin Shop Jcsgold dot com is the
- 49:49Speaker 4: phone number?
- 49:50Speaker 26: So uh.
- 49:51Speaker 4: A couple of texts and emails saying, Joe, the This
- 49:55Speaker 4: one I particularly like is how is it the US
- 49:58Speaker 4: Postal Service with all of the traffic that goes through
- 50:03Speaker 4: it is losing so much money? How badly run are they?
- 50:08Speaker 4: This one from Sherry says privatize the damn thing. And
- 50:13Speaker 4: there's been discussions all of that stuff, but the story
- 50:16Speaker 4: and it's not even a news story. I happen to
- 50:18Speaker 4: see it a couple of weeks ago, maybe a week ago.
- 50:24Speaker 4: New York post coverage. US Postal Service already lost six
- 50:29Speaker 4: days ago, all right, that's sound. Already has lost one
- 50:33Speaker 4: point three billion dollars this year, and cash shortages might
- 50:37Speaker 4: halt mail delivery by twenty twenty seven. Cash strapped US
- 50:43Speaker 4: Postal Service barreling towards a financial cliff, with Postmaster General
- 50:49Speaker 4: David Steiner warning lawmakers the agency could run dry by
- 50:53Speaker 4: October of this year if Congress doesn't step in and stop. It's,
- 51:00Speaker 4: you know, and it's always the answer, Well, you guys
- 51:02Speaker 4: have to fix this for me. Go get some of
- 51:04Speaker 4: those other people's dollars, or print some of the other
- 51:07Speaker 4: funny money that you do at the Treasury.
- 51:10Speaker 10: There.
- 51:15Speaker 4: According to Business Insider, the agency has been bleeding money
- 51:20Speaker 4: ever since two thousand and six, when it hit its
- 51:23Speaker 4: peak of delivering two hundred and thirteen billion pieces of mail,
- 51:29Speaker 4: a nine billion dollar loss in the last fiscal year,
- 51:33Speaker 4: and already one point three. But here's you know, one
- 51:36Speaker 4: of the things you don't know in the structure of
- 51:38Speaker 4: the US Postal Service. And this goes into the give
- 51:41Speaker 4: backs that Congress. You know, you're asking Congress for help.
- 51:44Speaker 4: One of the things that the Postal Service is required
- 51:47Speaker 4: to do is to make sure its pension fund has
- 51:51Speaker 4: every dollar potentially available to every employee. It's not a
- 51:55Speaker 4: fund like you go and do your four oh one
- 51:57Speaker 4: K or anything like that. If you you're a postal worker,
- 52:02Speaker 4: there is an account somewhere with every dollar possible that
- 52:07Speaker 4: you're ever going to need in retirement, even if you
- 52:10Speaker 4: only work their here they and you don't earn that retirement,
- 52:13Speaker 4: but they have to have it set aside for you already.
- 52:18Speaker 4: And that's one of those structural things in the Postal Service.
- 52:21Speaker 4: We were talking about the Constitution just for those for
- 52:25Speaker 4: the public record, Article one, Section eight Claws seven US
- 52:31Speaker 4: Postal a US Constitution Congress shall have the power begins
- 52:37Speaker 4: the whole section to establish post offices and post roads.
- 52:42Speaker 4: Those are those US routes with the white shield around
- 52:45Speaker 4: the number. Those are postal routes. That's the only thing
- 52:49Speaker 4: that the US Constitution guarantees.
- 52:51Speaker 2: My name is Bobby.
- 52:52Speaker 3: I'm a veteran and lost my leg to a roadside bomb.
