0:01
Speaker 1: Russia wants to see you grand succeed on your to
0:04
Speaker 1: do list.
0:04
Speaker 2: Putting the radio on is the first thing today, George.
0:08
Speaker 3: Said, steal MEE have a day at least for work.
0:13
Speaker 2: When the sun comes up, drops act this scoop.
0:18
Speaker 3: Joy all the jas needs.
0:23
Speaker 4: The one that Joss smiled he only as.
0:30
Speaker 5: Jack.
0:30
Speaker 1: God bless you for letting us be of service to you.
0:36
Speaker 1: You know this radio program. Our business model is we'll
0:39
Speaker 1: tell you what went on. Oh yeah, we'll tell you
0:41
Speaker 1: what happened. Then we will tell you what we analyze
0:45
Speaker 1: from the evidence that made it back to the locker.
0:47
Speaker 1: And after that, I want to hear how it's impacting
0:50
Speaker 1: you where you are. The singular most local part of
0:54
Speaker 1: this radio station is you. That's so sad. I'm weird
1:01
Speaker 1: in saying that, but it's true. And so how is
1:04
Speaker 1: it hitting you where you live? Email to that from
1:09
Speaker 1: last week? Joe, I hadn't thought about the cost of
1:13
Speaker 1: food still being driven by the cost of fertilizer. I
1:16
Speaker 1: asked some friends, and they said the problem with farming
1:21
Speaker 1: costs is that we're still paying for stuff that happened
1:27
Speaker 1: last year, or we're paying for things that might happen
1:31
Speaker 1: next year. And you're never paying directly for what something costs. Well,
1:35
Speaker 1: it's any commodity, Sharon, is that is that you're always
1:43
Speaker 1: either paying back for what has the cost been last year,
1:48
Speaker 1: or you're paying in advance for what the costs are
1:51
Speaker 1: going to be coming up for you. We are ready
1:55
Speaker 1: to We were joking about packing up our twenty twenty
1:58
Speaker 1: five stuff and getting ready for new digs in twenty
2:01
Speaker 1: twenty six. I mean, that's just tongue in cheek. We're
2:03
Speaker 1: not actually moving anywhere. Just got to write new numbers
2:07
Speaker 1: on our checks. If you still write those things. And
2:10
Speaker 1: one of the things we're going to be doing this
2:12
Speaker 1: time next week, we're going to be live from Las
2:15
Speaker 1: Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Show, and we're going to
2:19
Speaker 1: try to bring you all the flavor of all the
2:21
Speaker 1: AI fraud watchers and all the different ways you can
2:25
Speaker 1: watch out for that, the cybersecurity people, the Internet of things,
2:30
Speaker 1: some of the neat stuff that you know you can
2:32
Speaker 1: use the tools and those sorts of things and still
2:38
Speaker 1: taking you know, still have opportunities for folks. Although it's
2:42
Speaker 1: been fascinating to me how the tech business really doesn't
2:45
Speaker 1: want to market to you as a listener of the
2:48
Speaker 1: radio program. They would rather cut deals with the people
2:51
Speaker 1: who are supplying you with the stuff that I guess
2:54
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be supplied with. Oh, we have a
2:56
Speaker 1: deal with the phone company and we'll put your security
2:59
Speaker 1: we don't need. And maybe that's part of the problem
3:03
Speaker 1: with the technology world is none of them deal direct
3:06
Speaker 1: to consumer, or if they do, there are few and
3:09
Speaker 1: far between of those companies that do the d what
3:13
Speaker 1: do they call it, DTC marketing. Wouldn't it be easy?
3:19
Speaker 1: You know, I want this kind of cybersecurity. I'm sorry,
3:23
Speaker 1: you bought this laptop and it comes pre wired with
3:25
Speaker 1: the other kind and you can't take it out because
3:27
Speaker 1: if you take it out, there goes There goes your laptop.
3:32
Speaker 1: Thanks for playing, but I don't want this kind of security.
3:36
Speaker 1: Well that's you get what you get the other laptop
3:40
Speaker 1: costs more, or the other technology. These are all the
3:44
Speaker 1: things that you know, consumers in the world of technology
3:47
Speaker 1: have almost been gasled into. And it's one of the
3:50
Speaker 1: things we're going to cover next week while we're at
3:52
Speaker 1: the Consumer Electronics show for you you're dining and dancing
3:57

Speaker 1: media arguments that it isn't what they were promised. A
4:45
Speaker 1: winter storm bearing down on the Upper Midwest for today snow, ice,
4:51
Speaker 1: and rain. For those who have ever lived on the
4:53
Speaker 1: Great Lakes, hearing the potential of one foot of snow
4:56
Speaker 1: makes you think, oh, we're not even going to close
4:59
Speaker 1: school for that. It could be very very serious, including
5:02
Speaker 1: windshills sub zero. President Trumps Sunday insisted Ukraine and Russia
5:08
Speaker 1: are closer than ever before to a peace steal, as
5:10

5:47
Speaker 1: person for the governor says that he's strengthened oversight in
5:52
Speaker 1: his administration and several of those facilities are already closed,
5:57

Speaker 2: The First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk
13:15
Speaker 2: media network.
13:30
Speaker 1: Amy into that's all fired up this morning as we
13:34
Speaker 1: wind down on the twenty six. We were talking last hour.
13:40
Speaker 1: It looked like you got an opportunity there. We spoke
13:43
Speaker 1: too soon. I might have jinxed it. James Luncke is
13:45
Speaker 1: on the phone with us from jcsgold dot com with details,
13:51
Speaker 1: But it looked like there's a buying opportunity in the
13:54
Speaker 1: breakneck pace of silver to continue to set records. How
13:58
Speaker 1: you doing this Monday morning, James.
14:01
Speaker 17: I'm Bill Well Joel, and it looks like it's going
14:03
Speaker 17: to be a busy start to the week, of course,
14:06
Speaker 17: because people have taken advantage since the silver price opened
14:10
Speaker 17: at six six thirty last night and was at record
14:15
Speaker 17: highs above eighty dollars an ounce, it has dropped from
14:20
Speaker 17: there to seventy five dollars and fifty six cents, and.
14:23
Speaker 18: People have been buying the dip for sure and buying
14:27
Speaker 18: silver from our website jcschold dot com for underspot, and
14:31
Speaker 18: they've been taking advantage of this dip. Here gold is
14:34
Speaker 18: also dipping down one and a half percent, down sixty
14:38
Speaker 18: six dollars to four four hundred and sixty five dollars,
14:42
Speaker 18: So we will see where both medialsts find the support,
14:46
Speaker 18: but in the meantime, take advantage of these discounts.
14:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely get with it and some neat ways to
14:52
Speaker 1: do it as well at jcsgold dot com. The silver Eagles,
14:56
Speaker 1: I guess there'll be a new design for twenty twenty six.
14:59
Speaker 1: So if you haven't picked up the twenty twenty five yet,
15:02
Speaker 1: still a few there, James get twenty twenty five silver Eagles.
15:07
Speaker 18: Yeah, just a few. I have to check so far
15:10
Speaker 18: this morning because there's a chance that this could have
15:12
Speaker 18: been sold out fair enough in the past hour or so.
15:15
Speaker 18: But we do have backdate silver eagles that are at
15:20
Speaker 18: spot on our website, which have been a hot item
15:24
Speaker 18: here over the past couple of weeks, and even more
15:26
Speaker 18: so here with this little dropping price. But relatively speaking,
15:30
Speaker 18: we're seventy five dollars is pretty much where we were at,
15:34
Speaker 18: you know, near the end of last week, you know,
15:37
Speaker 18: in the morning, So the price doesn't feel too different
15:40
Speaker 18: from where it was last week here in seventy five.
15:43
Speaker 2: So we'll see where it goes from here.
15:46
Speaker 1: You just got us all excited on Friday and when
15:48
Speaker 1: it was scratching seventy nine and we're like, what so anyway, James,
15:54
Speaker 1: four generations of family that do want to help you
15:58
Speaker 1: navigate the tumultuous waters. Gold and Silver, whatever year it
16:01
Speaker 1: is at jcsgold dot com callum at four three four
16:06
Speaker 1: nine to seventy nine coin and you have a great morning, James.
16:11
Speaker 1: Thanks Joey too, JCS goold dot com. We've been talking
16:15
Speaker 1: about the grift and the drift here and great. A
16:20
Speaker 1: text message came in warning warning all of us that
16:24
Speaker 1: we're going to get screwed for this, that we all
16:26
Speaker 1: think it's fun in games. This Kareem writes in this
16:30
Speaker 1: should be a concern for anyone exposing grifts like the
16:33
Speaker 1: Somali daycare. The muckrackers are being exposed to legal action.
16:40
Speaker 1: Mark Rendaza reporting media lawyers are on the phone with
16:46
Speaker 1: non government organizations gearing up to go after YouTubers that
16:51
Speaker 1: expose fraud. Find insurance if you care, if you can,
16:58
Speaker 1: how you suggest at link lawyer is a good option.
17:02
Speaker 1: Also at Walter's log Group or daniel A. Horowitz or
17:07
Speaker 1: at Ron Holt. I don't know any of these lawyers.
17:10
Speaker 1: I know that I found out in the past year
17:12
Speaker 1: what it means to have a media lawyer because generally speaking,
17:18
Speaker 1: that's what you need because there are going to be
17:21
Speaker 1: people saying, you know that, well you you shouldn't have
17:24
Speaker 1: had this. And this goes back kareem to what we
17:27
Speaker 1: were talking about with the licensing of journalists. But Joel
17:32
Speaker 1: is hanging along with us on the subject of all
17:34
Speaker 1: the grift in Minneapolis. I don't you want to come
17:37
Speaker 1: after me, great, just make sure you spell my name
17:40
Speaker 1: right in the press.
17:42
Speaker 19: To Joe, I'm just mentioning this because government is government's
17:46
Speaker 19: pretty big, right, and and our population is what like
17:49
Speaker 19: three hundred.
17:50
Speaker 1: And thirty million something? Yeah, I mean no, I'm.
17:54
Speaker 19: Sorry, but but where you know, we had those investigating,
18:00
Speaker 19: we have the FBI, we have NSA, we have the CIA,
18:03
Speaker 19: we have all kinds of groups. But what you know,
18:07
Speaker 19: what we've gone through has had corruption within or as
18:11
Speaker 19: I was saying in New York City, you have police
18:14
Speaker 19: that just got that they're corrupt, that they walk by
18:17
Speaker 19: it because it's all over the place.
18:20
Speaker 16: What are they going to do?
18:21
Speaker 19: I mean, it's just and a lot of those people
18:23
Speaker 19: are illegal aliens, and so I mean the bigger picture
18:28
Speaker 19: is how do you clean it up?
18:30
Speaker 1: Well? And part of the how do you clean it
18:32
Speaker 1: up comes down to stopping doing it in the first place.
18:36
Speaker 1: The the and it sounds mean. And this is where
18:40
Speaker 1: you have to have the intestical fortitude to do the
18:43
Speaker 1: right thing for the right reason right now, and tell
18:46
Speaker 1: people to go to your local churches and to go
18:49
Speaker 1: to your local you know, boys and girls clubs and
18:52
Speaker 1: things like that to look for the help. And we
18:55
Speaker 1: as a moral society. This goes back to the old
18:58
Speaker 1: Adams statement. We need to be a moral society because
19:01
Speaker 1: the government has to step in when we stop stepping up.
19:05
Speaker 1: And if we decide I want to help somebody and
19:12
Speaker 1: they the answer has too frequently become well, i'll vote
19:16
Speaker 1: for so and so for Senate and they'll help the
19:19
Speaker 1: people I want to help. This is how you wind
19:22
Speaker 1: up with Saturday, we were talking about this Nick Shirley
19:25
Speaker 1: video and these these mysterious postmenopausal Caucasian women that seem
19:32
Speaker 1: to show up at all of these instances with cell
19:35
Speaker 1: phone cameras in hand, prepped up by lawyers as to
19:39
Speaker 1: what to say to keep themselves out of any verifiable trouble.
19:43
Speaker 1: Yet there they are, and they will show up, and
19:45
Speaker 1: they're wearing their Black Lives Matter, you know t shirts
19:48
Speaker 1: and their Burka's despite being you know, an old irishwoman
19:53
Speaker 1: and they you know, oh I'm showing my solidarity. Okay,
19:57
Speaker 1: how about you actually help somebody? How about you hire
20:00
Speaker 1: there is somebody, how about you give.
20:01
Speaker 2: Them a job.
20:02
Speaker 1: How about you you help them become a citizen rather
20:05
Speaker 1: than just engendering the fraud, which is what the middle
20:10
Speaker 1: people are, uh in government. I mean, if you have a.
20:14
Speaker 19: Leak and a pipe, right, and it keeps dripping, that
20:17
Speaker 19: water bill is going to be big by the end
20:19
Speaker 19: of the year. If you don't know about the leak.
20:21
Speaker 1: Right, that's true. That's true, and that's true medically as well.
20:24
Speaker 1: I've got to run, Joel. You have a great morning, sir.
20:28
Speaker 1: You two snug that one by y'all, didn't I four
20:31
Speaker 1: three four eight A two four two one seven. I
20:35
Speaker 1: don't know, doctor. My pipe's leak in there. You know,
20:38
Speaker 1: it's like an old car. Just like an old car,
20:42
Speaker 1: you know, the motors were confined. We just leak a
20:44
Speaker 1: little bit more here and there. And that's just the
20:47
Speaker 1: price of doing business. Emails come into JT in the morning,
20:51
Speaker 1: radio Gmail dot com. Uh Andy texts into four three
20:56
Speaker 1: four eight A two four two one seven reminds me
20:59
Speaker 1: of the Acorn film that James O'Keefe did, is one
21:02
Speaker 1: of his earliest when he went into Acorn, Remember it
21:06
Speaker 1: was an American coalition of I forget what a corn,
21:12
Speaker 1: but Acorn was one of those quote quasi grassroots, quasi
21:19
Speaker 1: non government quangos that was going around there using government money,
21:25
Speaker 1: applying for government grants, getting US grants, and then going
21:30
Speaker 1: out and doing leftist work after laundering it through. And
21:35
Speaker 1: then then Acorn sort of predates Act Blue Act Blue
21:40
Speaker 1: as the old campaign apparatus fundraising apparatus of the Obama
21:44
Speaker 1: campaign Change for America, and they realized that if you
21:50
Speaker 1: gave money to Act Blue, you could do whatever you wanted,
21:53
Speaker 1: and then Act Blue gave the money to the candidates,
21:56
Speaker 1: so it kind of circumvented campaign finance laws.
22:01
Speaker 20: Hey, Brandt, and her name is shay I Love. She's
22:04
Speaker 20: a friend of mine whom we were just praying for
22:07
Speaker 20: because of a surgery.
22:08
Speaker 1: She just went through.
22:09
Speaker 21: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
22:11
Speaker 21: talk about all the time, which is meta share.
22:14
Speaker 20: That is right, Yeah, So what was your experience like
22:17
Speaker 20: with meta share and health care ability?
22:18
Speaker 21: Honestly, Brandt seamless and what a blessing. That is when
22:21
Speaker 21: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was.
22:24
Speaker 21: Members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
22:27
Speaker 21: me tell you, having people pray with you when you
22:30
Speaker 21: call in with your need, that is just refreshing. Yes,
22:34
Speaker 21: that's what it is.
22:35
Speaker 20: I keep telling people. People love meda share and they
22:38
Speaker 20: love saving money. The typical family can save five hundred
22:41
Speaker 20: dollars a month.
22:42

Speaker 22: Hi.
23:01
Speaker 23: I'm doctor Michael Bailey, President of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
23:06
Speaker 23: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
23:11
Speaker 23: better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
23:15
Speaker 23: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports
23:20
Speaker 23: veterinary teams in exciting ways.
23:23
Speaker 1: We're using AI to develop.
23:25
Speaker 23: Personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease
23:30
Speaker 23: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
23:34
Speaker 23: on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
23:40
Speaker 23: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
23:44
Speaker 23: AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
23:48
Speaker 23: your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
23:53

Speaker 2: First thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Dunk Media Network.
28:16
Speaker 2: All natural and free of artificial intelligence. Oh, information wondering
28:21
Speaker 2: is really quite ferocious.
28:23
Speaker 24: It's right up ups to take them lines and makes
28:24
Speaker 24: them sound prepocious for seeing them in.
28:26
Speaker 2: Congress or mainstream outed.
28:28
Speaker 21: So this information's.
28:30
Speaker 8: Origins are slightly less atrocious.
28:33
Speaker 10: It's how you hide it, delighted lie, It's how.
28:35
Speaker 1: You light Yes. It is especially when you want to
28:39
Speaker 1: run journalism through a program of licensure. And this this
28:47
Speaker 1: ties together last week's depiction of Brendan carr Is Crampis
28:52
Speaker 1: in our Christmas parable if Donald Trump is Santa Claus,
28:56
Speaker 1: Brendan carr Is Crampus and worse than that. Brendan Carr
29:03
Speaker 1: is no different than all the other ones. The difference
29:06
Speaker 1: is his boss wants to punish people who have tried
29:10
Speaker 1: to make it impossible for him to win the presidency.
29:14
Speaker 1: Does that deny that the folks like Jimmy Kimmel and
29:18
Speaker 1: all these folks have it in for Donald Trump? No,
29:20
Speaker 1: not at all. The hypocrisy is they all love Donald
29:24
Speaker 1: Trump when he helped them score ratings, but once he
29:33
Speaker 1: became president, the people who are paying their bills were like,
29:37
Speaker 1: oh no, we're gonna lose money. And all of this
29:41
Speaker 1: is based around we're going to lose money. So the
29:45
Speaker 1: Orange Man has to be done in because he is
29:49
Speaker 1: costing us money. I'd love to say it is any
29:54
Speaker 1: deeper than that. I'd love to tell you that there's
29:57
Speaker 1: all this high drama the people carrying, but I can't
30:03
Speaker 1: do that for you. So let's unpack some of this
30:05
Speaker 1: coming up. But first we got a couple of things
30:09
Speaker 1: to lay in there. First thing today Sports Storycter Mac
30:12
Speaker 1: McDonald tell us what you're working on in Sports this morning.
30:16
Speaker 27: Match, Good morning, Joe, Welcome to Monday. Here are the
30:18
Speaker 27: stories we are tracking. The Patriots dragged May through for
30:21
Speaker 27: five touchdowns in New England grounded the Jets forty two
30:24
Speaker 27: to ten. The Pats won the AFC East for the
30:27
Speaker 27: first time in six years after the Bills were beaten
30:29
Speaker 27: by Philly. The Bills comeback fell short with a blocked
30:32
Speaker 27: extra point and a miss two point conversion that final
30:36
Speaker 27: thirteen to twelve. With Seattle's twenty seven to ten. Very
30:39
Speaker 27: October Carolina, the Panthers missed an opportunity to clinch the
30:43
Speaker 27: NFC South, combined with the Dolphins, went over Tampa Bay.
30:46
Speaker 27: The Bucks and Panthers play next week for the division
30:50
Speaker 27: and loan playoff spot. Jacksonville down the Colts twenty three
30:53
Speaker 27: to seventeen. The Jags now are one went away from.
30:57
Speaker 1: The AFC crown. He'll be back at seven thirty. It
31:00
Speaker 1: open his reporter's notebook for us in detail, and now
31:04
Speaker 1: it's time to take a look at what's going on
31:05
Speaker 1: in business. Jared James Luck say, if you go to
31:15
Speaker 1: jcsgold dot com, you'll see Silver's cracked back down almost
31:21
Speaker 1: four dollars announced since yesterday seventy five dollars sixty seven cents.
31:26
Speaker 1: Certainly a breaknet position, but lower than it was, say Friday,
31:30
Speaker 1: seventy three dollars dip in gold as well as it
31:34
Speaker 1: goes on sale a little bit this morning forty four
31:36
Speaker 1: fifty nine and sixty three cents. Asian shares down this
31:42
Speaker 1: morning as China starts to saber rattle around Taiwan this morning,
31:48
Speaker 1: Stocks in general and the New York Stock Exchange closing
31:51
Speaker 1: a quieter in post Christmas trading. However, the American consumer
31:58
Speaker 1: activity led to the biggest GDP growth in over two years,
32:03
Speaker 1: four point eight percent for Q three. Student loan borrowers
32:07
Speaker 1: aren't going to get hit with garnishments on January seventh.
32:11
Speaker 1: They'll be hit with letters saying we're coming for you.
32:14
Speaker 1: If you don't fix this, you'll be given a month
32:17
Speaker 1: to do what you need to do to get right
32:20
Speaker 1: with the federal student loan agencies. And millennials are starting
32:26
Speaker 1: to find digital. Pardon me analog islands as we head
32:32
Speaker 1: out to the Consumer Electronics Show to broadcast next week.
32:36
Speaker 1: Digital life has led to people trying to find the
32:41
Speaker 1: non digital in their world, including an uptick and automobile
32:45
Speaker 1: manufacturer's sale of manual transmission vehicles. The interest in that
32:51
Speaker 1: going up so last segment, Kareem sent me a link
32:56
Speaker 1: to this. It was Rendaza, a guy and his warning
33:04
Speaker 1: that government non government agencies quasi non government agencies are
33:11
Speaker 1: being ramped up by the media companies to go after
33:16
Speaker 1: these YouTubers who are out there just oh, I don't know,
33:19
Speaker 1: doing their job for them, and I get it, I
33:25
Speaker 1: get it. Rather than compete, just sue yourself to dominance.
33:29
Speaker 1: It's a business plan. You can't argue. It's immoral and
33:33
Speaker 1: your soul is going to shrivel and die on the vine.
33:36
Speaker 1: But other than that, I mean, you rock on with
33:38
Speaker 1: your bad self. But this goes back to Barack Obama
33:43
Speaker 1: suggesting that federal protections, protections against sources and free speech
33:49
Speaker 1: protections for journalists should only convey if they were in
33:53
Speaker 1: possession of a government license. That's all fun and games
33:58
Speaker 1: when it's Barack Obama, when it's Brendan Carr saying, we'll
34:02
Speaker 1: go after you if you don't say the things the
34:04
Speaker 1: government wants you to say, and if you're not good
34:08
Speaker 1: to Donald Trump will come after you. And I understand
34:14
Speaker 1: that the media was overwhelmingly biased against Donald Trump three times,
34:27
Speaker 1: but the license culture is going to be the death
34:30
Speaker 1: of us. You can only make a computer if you've
34:33
Speaker 1: got a US government license. You can only make a
34:35
Speaker 1: smartphone if you if you have a US government license.
34:39
Speaker 1: What is the record of the US government when it
34:42
Speaker 1: comes to that kind of investiture. We were talking about
34:47
Speaker 1: the failings of the bureaucratic aid industry and the grift
34:52
Speaker 1: that it promotes, especially amongst that twenty percent of the
34:58
Speaker 1: bureaucracy whose only it seems to be is to perpetrate
35:02
Speaker 1: the bureaucracy itself. These are the people who create the
35:09
Speaker 1: American government is the same as America narrative. These are
35:17
Speaker 1: the people who if you voted against Hillary, you were
35:20
Speaker 1: voting against America because Hillary is in our family in America,
35:24
Speaker 1: and the bureaucracy is America, and we created it and
35:28
Speaker 1: it's ours and it's America. And if you're engaging in
35:32
Speaker 1: Unamerican activities if you question the government, these are the
35:37
Speaker 1: same alien insedition laws that caused Thomas Jefferson, also of Charlottesville,
35:44
Speaker 1: like this program, to run for president in the first place,
35:48
Speaker 1: as he watched these laws that started to say questioning
35:52
Speaker 1: the government was the same thing as questioning the country.
35:59
Speaker 1: And I know it's a sliced, very thin piece of boloney,
36:04
Speaker 1: but it's different. It is different.
36:09
Speaker 5: And so.
36:11
Speaker 1: The media companies want Brendan Carr going after people like
36:18
Speaker 1: Nick Shirley. This program people who aren't part of the club,
36:24
Speaker 1: who haven't paid their dues to the agency, and we
36:30
Speaker 1: have to stop it. And the fact that Donald Trump
36:33
Speaker 1: is doing it a is understandable, but he needs to
36:36
Speaker 1: be woken up to it because I don't believe he's
36:39
Speaker 1: realizing the the exponential effects. But it is only just
36:50
Speaker 1: an offshoot of the licensed culture. It's how they shut
36:53
Speaker 1: down all of our businesses during COVID. They had no
36:57
Speaker 1: authority to shut down our business, nor did they have
37:00
Speaker 1: enough police officers to stand in everybody's storefront. But they
37:04
Speaker 1: could say, well, we'll take away your license to operate,
37:08
Speaker 1: then we'll arrest you for operating a business without a license.
37:12
Speaker 1: You see how the setup happens, and the big guys
37:19
Speaker 1: can afford it. This is how we centralize business. It's
37:23
Speaker 1: just like this moratorium that's been suggested by our own
37:27
Speaker 1: Congressman John McGuire on the capital gains tax. If you
37:33
Speaker 1: can increase home ownership by eliminating capital gains tax for
37:37
Speaker 1: a little while, you think of what you can do
37:39
Speaker 1: if you can eliminate it overall. As Ben Franklin said
37:47
Speaker 1: years ago, if you want less of something, tax it,
37:52
Speaker 1: or as Reagan said, if something moves in Washington, we
37:55
Speaker 1: tax it, and when it stops moving, we subsidize it.
38:01
Speaker 20: Life can change so abruptly.
38:04
Speaker 2: Just ask Paul.
38:05
Speaker 20: He's a hardworking entrepreneur, he's young, he's got a young family. Suddenly, though,
38:09
Speaker 20: he develops a rare medical condition where he lost the
38:12
Speaker 20: use of both of his arms.
38:14
Speaker 12: I could no longer drive a car, couldn't use a computer, type,
38:17
Speaker 12: couldn't use a mouse. I could not hold my son,
38:19
Speaker 12: who was about a month old.
38:20
Speaker 20: Paul and his family were facing a mountain of medical bills,
38:23
Speaker 20: but they're so thankful that they're members of metas Share.
38:27
Speaker 12: I think if someone asked me, like, hey, does medicare
38:30
Speaker 12: really where, I'm living proof that it works. My four
38:33
Speaker 12: children are living proof that it works. My arms, which
38:36
Speaker 12: have been healed, are living proof that menashare works. Just
38:40
Speaker 12: knowing the emotional peace of mind, knowing that our needs
38:42
Speaker 12: are going to be taken care of when we have
38:44
Speaker 12: some type of medical problem, that is such a huge
38:46
Speaker 12: blessing to us.
38:47
Speaker 20: It could be a huge blessing to you to people
38:50
Speaker 20: save so much and love being part of Meta Share
38:53
Speaker 20: call now eight five five share forty. That's eight five
38:56
Speaker 20: five share four zero eight five five Share forty.
39:04
Speaker 6: Considered by most Optimized curcumin is one of the few
39:08
Speaker 6: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
39:13
Speaker 6: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
39:19
Speaker 6: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
39:23
Speaker 6: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
39:27
Speaker 6: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
39:32
Speaker 6: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
39:37
Speaker 6: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
39:42
Speaker 6: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
39:46
Speaker 6: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
39:51
Speaker 6: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

Speaker 28: I'm Andrew Saul, Commission of Self Security. I'm here to
40:06
Speaker 28: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
40:10
Speaker 28: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
40:13
Speaker 28: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
40:17
Speaker 28: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
40:22
Speaker 28: are not from US. Real solid security employees will never
40:26
Speaker 28: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
40:29
Speaker 28: call like this, hang up. Never give the call of
40:33
Speaker 28: your personal information like your Social Security number or bank account,
40:38
Speaker 28: or send money in any form cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
40:43
Speaker 28: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
40:46
Speaker 28: enforcement on the Office of the Inspector General at OIG
40:51
Speaker 28: dot SSA dot gov. Share this information with your friends
40:56
Speaker 28: and family.
41:00
Speaker 15: And it's always a boy. Growing up on a farm
41:02
Speaker 15: in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only
41:05
Speaker 15: in all of their beauty and kindness, but also their
41:07
Speaker 15: tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds who gather
41:10
Speaker 15: supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes who work hard
41:13
Speaker 15: to provide for their young, or penguins who travel up
41:16
Speaker 15: to five hundred miles to secure food for their families,
41:19
Speaker 15: or bush babies whose impressive jump allows them to navigate
41:22
Speaker 15: the trees and the wild in search of fruit. This
41:24
Speaker 15: remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends, the canines.
41:28
Speaker 15: We know dogs are wonderful pets at home, but because
41:31
Speaker 15: of their acute senses, they also perform life saving work
41:34
Speaker 15: every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort
41:37
Speaker 15: returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They work
41:39
Speaker 15: with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in their
41:42
Speaker 15: blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly trained
41:45
Speaker 15: roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
41:48
Speaker 15: So please join me an American Humane and supporting our
41:51
Speaker 15: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
41:53
Speaker 15: planet we inhabit together. Go to American Humane dot org
41:57

42:00
Speaker 14: U oh, Bruhu's buzzed.
42:01
Speaker 19: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
42:05
Speaker 9: And now a speech.
42:07
Speaker 14: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
42:11
Speaker 14: art and brain.
42:12
Speaker 2: Who's with me?
42:13
Speaker 14: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
42:16
Speaker 14: brain is saying when it's time to go home.
42:18
Speaker 2: Somebody call me a ride.
42:20
Speaker 3: Love that guy, Me too, know your buzzed warning signs,
42:23
Speaker 3: call for a ride when it's time to go home.
42:25
Speaker 3: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
42:29
Speaker 29: Did you know that more than half our household energy
42:31
Speaker 29: costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
42:35
Speaker 29: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills too.
42:40
Speaker 29: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
42:42
Speaker 29: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
42:46
Speaker 29: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
42:50
Speaker 29: That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
42:53
Speaker 29: leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
42:56
Speaker 29: improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy is when
43:00
Speaker 29: you shop for a new appliance. Look for the energy
43:03
Speaker 29: Star logo and read the energy guide label. And there
43:07
Speaker 29: are day to day things you can do. Lower your
43:09
Speaker 29: thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer, close
43:12
Speaker 29: fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep air
43:15
Speaker 29: filters clean. For more tips on saving money by reducing

43:30
Speaker 26: As a family member or friend, you may be the
43:33
Speaker 26: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
43:35
Speaker 26: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
43:41
Speaker 26: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern,
43:44

44:05
Speaker 2: The center of attention.
44:07
Speaker 10: I'm interesting, the best things investing in.
44:09
Speaker 16: Testing and you kids, here's the missing attention.
44:14
Speaker 11: Soon as someone mentions me much sense two centsus.
44:17
Speaker 2: Three and you sent for me, don't tell me.
44:22
Speaker 1: So the FCC won't let us be because they've decided
44:27
Speaker 1: that since they hold the keys to the candy shop.
44:31
Speaker 1: And and this is what happens is we we grow
44:35
Speaker 1: accustom to the place you're on. First thing today we go,
44:43
Speaker 1: We grow accustomed to these things. This is what Jefferson
44:46
Speaker 1: warned us in the Declaration of Independence. Abuses become understandable. Well,
44:56
Speaker 1: we want we want to handle obscenity. Okay, what's u
45:00
Speaker 1: Well you start talking about anti government activity and we
45:05
Speaker 1: hold it has that obscene. Well, you know, people believe
45:08
Speaker 1: in America. People love America, and if you question America's intentions,
45:12
Speaker 1: then you're being anti government. And we can't stand for
45:15
Speaker 1: that because the government gave you a license to do
45:17
Speaker 1: what you do. This is Brendan Carr's rationale and it
45:25
Speaker 1: is the absolute perfect example of mission creep. So people
45:33
Speaker 1: start broadcasting and people start broadcasting all over the place,
45:40
Speaker 1: and the big companies in Chicago and New York are
45:44
Speaker 1: KO and all the networks of the day NBC, they
45:49
Speaker 1: would become NBC and CBS, etc. Started calling their friends
45:54
Speaker 1: in Washington saying, hold on a second here, some guy
45:57
Speaker 1: in Cleveland is on the error. Some guy in Youngstown,
46:00
Speaker 1: Ohio is on the air, some guy in Stanton, Virginia
46:04
Speaker 1: is on the air. And now our network doesn't reach,
46:08
Speaker 1: you know, all the way into Kentucky because we have
46:13
Speaker 1: to get past this guy in Youngstown, Ohio. By the way,
46:17
Speaker 1: if you're not a big fan of Vivek Ramaswami for
46:20
Speaker 1: a governor, Casey Push is challenging ramas Swam and he's
46:26
Speaker 1: going to join us a little bit later on for
46:28
Speaker 1: our friends at WYOH out there. So the from the
46:37
Speaker 1: get go, just like Thomas Edison was the original crony capitalist,
46:43
Speaker 1: it seems I think you can make a case that
46:48
Speaker 1: DuPont was the original because he was the first government contract,
46:52
Speaker 1: first government military contract anyway, to make black powder for
46:57
Speaker 1: then Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson. I never said everything
47:03
Speaker 1: Thomas Jefferson did turned out okay. And then to be fair,
47:07
Speaker 1: having a stock of black powder already if we needed
47:10
Speaker 1: to call up the militia. Wasn't a dumb idea. It
47:14
Speaker 1: the mission creep that came after the FCC. Protecting my spectrum,
47:23
Speaker 1: my place, or your television stations place on the broadcast dial,
47:28
Speaker 1: your cell phone company's place on the broadcast dial so
47:32
Speaker 1: that somebody can't pirate it and come and steal it
47:38
Speaker 1: should be in its intent and purpose, no different than
47:43
Speaker 1: filing a deed for the property you own. Where your
47:46
Speaker 1: house is with the county assessor's office, so the county
47:53
Speaker 1: has a record. You heard the ads about title of home.
47:56
Speaker 1: Title of fraud. Guy just photo copies your signal mature
48:00
Speaker 1: a couple of times, and next thing you know, he
48:02
Speaker 1: owns your house and he's renting it and selling it.
48:07
Speaker 1: But generally speaking, you have protection because you have a
48:10
Speaker 1: deed on file with the government. Did the government give
48:14
Speaker 1: you permission to own that house or are they just
48:16
Speaker 1: taking the title that you have, stamping it with a
48:21
Speaker 1: government records stamp and saying, well, this is yours and
48:25
Speaker 1: we've established that it is yours, and nobody else can
48:29
Speaker 1: use this property for their domicile without your permission. Same
48:35
Speaker 1: is true with an FCC license, But over time it
48:40
Speaker 1: has become the cudgel with which companies go after one another.
48:46
Speaker 1: So even from the earliest days of the Federal Broadcast Administration,
48:54
Speaker 1: the big rkos and mutual networks of Chicago and New
48:59
Speaker 1: York would go after the broadcasters in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts
49:05
Speaker 1: and Virginia, saying, wow, you're interfering. Our signal is supposed
49:10
Speaker 1: to go all the way from Chicago to Kentucky. And
49:14
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, some guy's on our same
49:16
Speaker 1: frequency and in Stanton, Virginia, and we can't cotton that.
49:21
Speaker 1: What are you doing for the Oh, it's a national emergency.
49:25
Speaker 1: If we don't reach all the way to Kentucky. Who's
49:28
Speaker 1: going to tell the people in Kentucky when bad stuff
49:30
Speaker 1: is going to happen? You mean from Chicago?
49:34
Speaker 4: Yeah?
49:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, from Chicago, paid for by our mind sponsors. Who
49:41
Speaker 1: and you're going to tell the people in Kentucky when
49:43
Speaker 1: the xscream is going to hit the air handler?
49:45
Speaker 27: Yeah?
49:46
Speaker 1: Absolutely. That's why you got to take all these other
49:48
Speaker 1: stations off the air. And that was what was happening.
49:54
Speaker 1: Blessings of AM Radio. It goes forever. If you got
49:57
Speaker 1: enough juice behind it, and nobody else is on the
50:00
Speaker 1: frequency they can hear you eight states away. And thus
50:08
Speaker 1: begins the mission creep of the FCC into this idea
50:11
Speaker 1: where now Brendan Carr thinks he can shut down TV
50:14
Speaker 1: and radio stations that are critical of Donald Trump, and
50:19
Speaker 1: he's going to bring back some of the most anti
50:22
Speaker 1: free speech laws ever. He starts talking about the Fairness Doctrine.
50:28
Speaker 1: Fairness Doctrine killed more speech than it protected ever. So,
50:36
Speaker 1: whether it's the nonprofits that are being defrauded by the
50:41
Speaker 1: Somali's and these other NGOs, or the for profits that
50:46
Speaker 1: are being defrauded not just by the government. But you
50:49
Speaker 1: watch what they're going to do in California with this
50:52
Speaker 1: five percent wealth tax. And here's the interesting thing is
50:58
Speaker 1: people are you know, have a year to move the
51:00
Speaker 1: stuff out of California. The laws I read it gives
51:03
Speaker 1: them opportunities to attack it if it's adjacent to California,
51:08
Speaker 1: if it's connected to a California company. Zefod mad Money,
51:13
Speaker 1: the incoming mayor of New York, has talked about that
51:16
Speaker 1: because the rumblings are that the New York Stock Exchange
51:19
Speaker 1: is going to move out of New York City, and
51:22
Speaker 1: he wants to establish a New York City taxation zone
51:26
Speaker 1: that would include New Jersey as well as Connecticut in
51:29
Speaker 1: some spots. Because he wants a zone where of interest
51:35
Speaker 1: to New York, the New York metropolitan area should have
51:38
Speaker 1: a taxing overlay on people who move their business into Connecticut.
51:45
Speaker 1: It's not unusual. We have it here in Charlottesville. Businesses
51:50
Speaker 1: move out of Charlottesville because of the high taxes. Yet
51:53
Speaker 1: if they want to serve clients in Charlottesville, we're going
51:57
Speaker 1: to have to pay for a special license to do business.
51:59
Speaker 1: And Rlsville tell me any of this sounds like a
52:04
Speaker 1: free market. So the young people when they say that
52:08
Speaker 1: capitalism has failed, they're they're looking at capitalism in a
52:13
Speaker 1: way that doesn't exist. It isn't capitalism. It's cronyism at best.
52:22
Speaker 1: At most, it's more governmentism because, like most bureaucracies, at
52:29
Speaker 1: some point the existence of the bureaucracy must be defended
52:34
Speaker 1: over the existence of the people who started the bureaucracy,
52:39
Speaker 1: just like the robots and that Isaac Asimov Yarn four
52:45
Speaker 1: three four eight eight two four two one seven. While
52:47
Speaker 1: we still can bite in the hand that feeds me.
52:50
Speaker 1: I'm Joe Thomas.
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 13: It was metiche that came through force, and there's no hassles,
53:01
Speaker 13: 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.
53:07
Speaker 25: Meta Share is a biblical approach to healthcare where Christians
53:11
Speaker 25: share each other's medical expenses.
53:13
Speaker 3: Medishare is a family, a group of people that stick
53:17
Speaker 3: with you through the hardest times of your life.
53:20
Speaker 25: Metashare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over thirty years
53:24
Speaker 25: old and members have shared over eight billion dollars of
53:27
Speaker 25: each other's medical bills.
53:28
Speaker 2: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
53:31
Speaker 2: You can focus on on supporting other people. Medashare is affordable.
53:35
Speaker 25: Medishare is biblical.
53:36
Speaker 24: Medas Share is family.
53:37
Speaker 25: Join thousands of Christians who can help you save on
53:40
Speaker 25: your healthcare and support your family when you need it.
