  Speaker 2: Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: this morning.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Across the Talk Media Network, we celebrate on a Tedsday
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: that would should be celebrated at all the time, which
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: is God's gifts to you. The things that make you you,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the things that you would do for anyone, regardless of compensation,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the things that make you get up in the morning
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: and get on it. And if you don't know what
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: those gifts and talents are, the heart breaks, but also
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: the encouragement to say that today is New Year's Day,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: then think about it. Find out what it is that
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: you are really good at, and go do that thing.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: And you can. There are ways to do it. You
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: can sit there and ruminate couple first free in the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: morning coffee. You know, I'm but doing it by yourself
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: isn't easy. You need an external view. You know how
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: we feel about consultants, but we also acknowledge that an
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: outside view is necessary, and so get yourself some close friends,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: sit down and have a chat about what it is
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: They like you for what it is they count on
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: you to do, because that's generally the beginnings of that knowledge.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: What is it that you do for everyone else that
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: you might not even realize you're doing. That's the juice
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: in a Ted ste on the program that tells you
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: what went on last night. We'll tell you how we
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: see what went on last night. But most importantly, I
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: want to know how it's impacting you where you are,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: whether it's making sure only US citizens vote. How much
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: longer are we going to bombard Iran? President Trump says,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: just a few more targets remain? What is this done?
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: And how come nobody's reporting on Ukraine anymore? All these
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: discussion points to me had for you this morning, all
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the congressmen dressed up in Waldo costumes, wondering where they've gone.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: And we'll jump into all of that stuff. Plus wherever
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: you find yourself this morning at four three four eight
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: eight two four two one seven. That is the phone
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: number or text message hotline you can shoot text messages
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: like this one from Kareem. Some classicists might say political
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: parties of ancient Rome showed founding fathers that they can
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: get stabbed in the back, front and back again. Oh, yeah,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: partisan is partisan, and it's not like partisans are a
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: new thing. As a matter of fact, I think it's
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: a I'm not a linguist, but I think it's based
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: on a Greek word. But we'll get in. We can
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: get into that if you want as well. Oh, I
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: have an answer to the question about Shapiro and what
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: he said about Philipbusters and the Constitution. I'll get into that,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: but our first things so we may discuss thoroughly. President
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Trump signed an executive order yesterday aimed at tightening elections security.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I'm very happy to be signing the Voter Integrity Executive Order.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I think it's going to be really great, he said
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: in the Oval Office yesterday, reinforcing existing federal law that
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: prohibits non citizens from voting while adding new tools to
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: verify voter eligibility and secure mail in ballots. Meanwhile, a
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: federal judge yesterday delta blow to the president's efforts to
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: cut taxpayer funds going to national public radio and public
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: broadcasting systems, striking down part of his executive order targeting
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the broadcasters. According to a report in the Washington Post,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: District Judge Randolph Moss ruled the order violated the First Amendment,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: finding it was unconstitutional retaliation tied to the administration's objections
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: to what Trump described as left wing bias. While you
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: go check your First Amendment to see where that is
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: in there, we will continue with the news. President Trump
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: said Tuesday the United States could withdraw from Iran within weeks.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: He said, we've been hitting them very hard. Last night,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: we knocked out tremendous amounts of missile making facilities. Meanwhile,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: allies in the Middle East are calling on the President
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: not to leave so fast. Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: and Bahrain have all conveyed private conversations to the administration.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: They do not want the military operation to end until
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: there are significant changes in Iranian leadership, which the President
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: has said already has taken place. By the way, on
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the Strait of Hormuz, the other side of it is
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the United Arab Emirates, and they're now considering ramping up
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: military action to counteract the Iranian's attempts to close this
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: vital shipping passage. They're also calling on the United Nations
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: to step in to make sure that this waterway stays open.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: And those are some of our First Things this morning.
• 6:00

  Speaker 4: You know, it's true, difficult times have a way of
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: focusing us. We have to think about what matters most
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: when it comes to our spending our healthcare. This is
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: why so many people are joining Meta share right now.
• 7:13

• 7:16
  Speaker 4: percent on your monthly healthcare costs. More than four hundred

• 7:27

  Speaker 5: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.

  Speaker 1: It's on.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: The first Thing today by Joe Thomas on the Chunk
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Media Network. All that sure, and for you are person intelligence.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: That's us. But I know you guys down there in Dalton,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: you're like, I know that means a whole different thing
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: to us than we're living in twenty twenty six right now.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: But they are. And this is the interesting thing out
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: of the Middle East is how you know Bahrain and
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: all these folks who they were the ones who were
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: being bullied by Iran, and they're like, no, please make
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: sure you wait till there's regime change. And I think
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: the fear you tell me if you share this is
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: that President Trump thinks he can find a Mullah he
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: can negotiate with. Just like when Donald Trump said I
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: don't have a problem with the federal debt or deficit.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: We can work with debt, a lot of people in
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: what had been the binary world of one or zero said,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: hold it were anti debt, We're conservatives. We're against the deficit,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: and there's good reason for it, because it devalues the dollar.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: It's not so bad for those who invest in gold,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: mostly because gold doesn't technically lose its value. It just
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: it's how you measure it against the currencies of the world.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Right now, doing pretty good, even though those had its
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: ups and downs. That's the life and times of it.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: And James Luck, our friend at jcsgold dot com, tells
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: us about it each morning. Good morning, James, how are
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: you doing this, Ted ste I'm doing well, Joe and
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: gold and silver. I had a strong day yesterday.
• 15:20
  Speaker 15: Gold is up another one percent so far this morning
• 15:23
  Speaker 15: to four thousand and seven hundred and twenty one dollars,
• 15:26
  Speaker 15: up about fifty three dollars so far.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Silver is down.
• 15:30
  Speaker 15: About three quarters of a percent. I got up to
• 15:32
  Speaker 15: seventy five dollars yesterday. It's currently at seventy four fifty,
• 15:36
  Speaker 15: which is still it says, down about three quarters of
• 15:40
  Speaker 15: a percent, but it's actually, you know, still at a
• 15:42
  Speaker 15: relatively high level after yesterday. So the little mix between
• 15:46
  Speaker 15: the two medals this morning, and we'll see where they
• 15:49
  Speaker 15: end up from here.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Hey, you know, and this is the kind of thing
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: that happens every now and then they decouple from themselves.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: We get sort of used to gold and silver, gold
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: and silver down gold, but sometimes they decouple, and they
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: used to happen a lot more frequently, didn't it, James. Yeah.
• 16:07
  Speaker 15: Typically, you know, every once in a while we'll see
• 16:10
  Speaker 15: one metal is you know, starts off the day a
• 16:13
  Speaker 15: little red and the other one is green, and typically
• 16:16
  Speaker 15: that they catch up, you know, to each other, and
• 16:20
  Speaker 15: they end up moving the same by the end of
• 16:22
  Speaker 15: the day. And it's just one of those those funny things,
• 16:25
  Speaker 15: and a lot of people like to see it as
• 16:28
  Speaker 15: a signal and they take advantage of, you know, a
• 16:29
  Speaker 15: little paper discount you know they're on silver compared to gold,
• 16:33
  Speaker 15: but you know, recently, over the past year, silver has
• 16:38
  Speaker 15: really since it broke out of the thirty dollars. Can
• 16:40
  Speaker 15: you believe that just a year ago it was thirty
• 16:43
  Speaker 15: dollars for silver.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Well, that's one of the things you can check at
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: jcsgold dot com. Go look at their charts and see
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: where we were on April first, twenty twenty five, you know.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: And I don't want to get into where we were
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: on April first, twenty twenty four because I just lost
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: my job and every all of my listeners thought I
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: was pulling in April Fool's Day joke on them. But
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: just last year, I mean, you know, you're right. I
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: mean we've we've gone stunting places, which also means the
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: US dollar has lost a lot of value over that time.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: But this is why you hedge, right, James, That's exactly right.
• 17:17
  Speaker 15: That's that's why you know, our clients, who you know,
• 17:21
  Speaker 15: fully believe in buy gold and silver and stacking it
• 17:23
  Speaker 15: over time. They were stacking it in the twenties, and
• 17:26
  Speaker 15: they were stacking it in the thirties, and I mean
• 17:28
  Speaker 15: dollar level, you know, so that way that they could
• 17:31
  Speaker 15: be prepared for a shrinking dollar. And then, like you
• 17:34
  Speaker 15: said earlier, it's not so much that gold or silver, uh,
• 17:37
  Speaker 15: you know, was down in value or was less valuable.
• 17:41
  Speaker 15: It's just when you compare it pricing in dollars.
• 17:44
  Speaker 16: Uh, then it was at a discount and the dollar
• 17:47
  Speaker 16: was a little bit stronger. But after inflation and after
• 17:51
  Speaker 16: uh like you mentioned runaway debt, you know, gold and
• 17:55
  Speaker 16: silver go up in value compared to dollars.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Well. And this is the advice you can get from
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: a family, not a call center. And I'm not slagging
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: call centers. People got to work too. I'm just saying
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: that if you are sitting there like I am, and
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: I'm just like you, I don't know everything, or I
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: hopefully know where to find everything. But when you're curious,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: and I get it. I listen to my fair share
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: of talk radio and I hear all the ads for
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: gold and silver. And you call these places and it's
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: a high You know your caller number seventy eight, you
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: know your way time is, and it's a call center
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: and no operators will call back. You're just looking for advice.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: And then you get on the phone with somebody who's
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: got a commission they've got to make, or a sales
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: quota they've got to make, and you're not sure you're getting,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: you know, the real deal. Because it's a serious investment.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: It's a serious investment and it should be taken that way.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: That's why I always suggest calling a family business who's
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: been doing this since the Kennedy administration. You want to
• 18:58

  Speaker 1: word coin at the Jefferson Coin shop. James, God, bless you, sir.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: You have a great morning. Thanks sho you too. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I understand. Now you're texting me saying, Joe, what do
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: you mean as April Fool's Day and number one? I
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: was never a great April fools Day guy. Even when
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I was doing shock jock radio, I always just felt like,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: you know, okay, you know, I get it. We were
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: doing stuff we were hoping was funny on you know,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: June twenty second. We didn't wait till April first to
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: try to be funny. So even then we would we
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: would almost as an April Fool's Day gag, try to
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: be ultra serious. I remember one year we actually pretended
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: that we had flipped the format of the station to
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: news talk and we were my partner and in the
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: news this morning and President book. So but I'm not
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: an April Fool's Day kind of guy. I also don't
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: drink you know, a lot of guinness on Saint Patrick's Day.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, I give you I like to
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: think that Valentine's Day is every day. I like to
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: celebrate the idea of what Saint Valentine was crucified for.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: You know, all hallows Eve, we have points to these
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: holiday April fools Day. I just I'm just not that guy.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: And ironically, my most pre eminent job prior to me
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: hanging out with you and really, if you want to
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: talk about a tennis and it's going to be any
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: more FedEx letters for me if I tell this story
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: real quick, because it was an impactful April Fool's Day
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: for an awful lot of people. In twenty twenty four,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: we had developed quite a cachet of folks tuning in
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: We didn't have our friends at the talk media network
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: behind us, sharing us with you in Portland or you
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: in San Antonio or Dalton, Georgia or Daytona Beach. But
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: we were developing a plan. We had a program. We
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: were trying to develop a partnership. My wife and I
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: had discussed buying a radio station, and I wanted to
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: partner with the people I was working with, and they agreed,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: and then they changed their mind and we closed on
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: the station on Good Friday, and by that Saturday, I
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: was unemployed from the station I had worked for for
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: you know, almost two decades.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: And did you know that healthy arteries make a gas. Yes,
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: your hands and feet. Well, our product, ultimate nitric oxide,

• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Habby Tedsday, which we celebrate every week. Email Ellen, who
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: survived that purge two years ago, that manifested on April
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Fool's Day and is still out there hanging with us
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: each morning, writes, she said, as a trisket, meaning I
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: was born on a Friday the thirteenth. As a trisc it,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: you celebrate Friday the thirteenth more than you do April First. Yeah,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: some truth to that, without question, we spend more time.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: But you know, the the bigger exemplar out of April First,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: of two years ago, is that we fear things and
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: we allow those fears to limit. We put our own
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: boundaries up. Sometimes we build fences to keep things out.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Sometimes we build fences to keep things in, don't you think?
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: And it's scary. I often will say when folks ask
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: us how we're doing, My wife and I will be
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: at something or another and say, hey, how you doing?
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: I said, well, I don't know. This will be the
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: part of our life story where the documentary filmmaker will
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: ask us, so, how did you make it all those
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: years without making any money? I don't know. I know
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: that we've made enough to pay our bills. And that's
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: been the thing is, as long as we're making enough
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: to pay our bills, both at the radio station we
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: own and in life, we do it with great friends.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: You develop great friends with people. There are kids who
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: will epathetically say.
• 30:18
  Speaker 22: Is yeah, like Gene, now it's who you know? You
• 30:20
  Speaker 22: know what my answer is to those folks. Yeah, So
• 30:25
  Speaker 22: no good people. And I don't mean no good people
• 30:29
  Speaker 22: for the manipulative house of cards kind of construct. I'm
• 30:34
  Speaker 22: talking about just no good people and just for the
• 30:37
  Speaker 22: sake of knowing them, because you never know where that
• 30:44
  Speaker 22: connection is going to come from. I know there's plenty
• 30:46
  Speaker 22: of people who consume quite a bit of their day
• 30:48
  Speaker 22: trying to macivailingly plan all that out. And I got
• 30:53
  Speaker 22: to know this person. I've got to be friends with
• 30:55
  Speaker 22: this person because this person's going to make me.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: And then you're and they You've invested all this time,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: and it's just no good people. And even writing for
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: the Daily Signal got a whole bunch of things for
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: them coming up. You and me talk media network? Did
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: I need to become friendly with a guy? And you know,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: here's here's a great example. So the whole thing with
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: the Talk media network people say, oh, how'd you get that?
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: What makes you more qualified than so and so and
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: they and everyone's got a favorite or a friend friend.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Years and years ago, I was running a radio station.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: We carried a lot of programs from a particular radio
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: network that doesn't exist anymore. And you may remember one
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: of doctor Joy Brown was one of them, and so
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: and what's his name? Jim Kramer was another one, and
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: so the network. As a reward for us being a
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: good affiliate, their presentive said, we want to put a
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: billboard up on the highway for your radio station. I'm like, wow,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: I think the courts have made that illegal. Now they
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: call that plugola. I felt like I had engaged in
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: commerce with them, but whatever, But they put a big
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: billboard up on the interstate in Pennsylvania trumpeting my radio
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: station and the fact that I carried all these shows
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: and my smiling visage as well. And I had always
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: remained friendly with the guy. And the network got bought
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: up by an even bigger network, and he was at
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: work and wound up working with this group at the
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: talk media network. So I run into him, Hey, buddy,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: what's going on. He introduces me to the guy that
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: runs the network, We become friendly. I start carrying some
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: of his shows. We become more friendly over time. And
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: then when all this goes down, looking for a way
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: to try to get my show on a couple of
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: stations because they didn't have one at the time, I
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: made the conversation and they said, well, yeah, we have
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: a slot. Actually we could use a guy doing this
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: for our stations in the morning. All right, put me down.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: And it's been so much fun hanging out with you
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: in the four Corners. I think, get Sealy out there,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Adam and San Antonio that writes into us, Bob and
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Portland and the folks and Salem that listen, and Norfolk
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: and Scott and Virginia Beach and all these folks who
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: tune in every morning. And some of them, you know,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: don't even get the whole show, all four hours of it.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: So they go moving around and they try to find
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: us down there in Daytona, Treasure Coast, hamp and John
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: and all the folks down there. I start to sound
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: like the host of Romper Room, and I'm looking through
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: my magic mirror. Anyway, the point being that which the
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: deceiver wants to use for bad, the Lord will help
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: you use for good if your eyes are open. Remember,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: God isn't going to dig the hole for you, but
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: he'll make sure you know where the shovel is. That's
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: all I got to say about that. That's not an
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: April Fool's Day gag. Now back to the news and
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: analysis as you have tuned into expecting this morning court's opinions.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Yesterday judge blocking the NPR pbsdfunding. And here's how people
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: will say, how can the Supreme Court make such a
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: stupid ruling or how this judge makes such It's all
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: about how the cunning linguists in the legal profession spend
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: their multiple hundreds of dollars per hour writing their filing.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: It's all in the it's all in the wording, and
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: it's all using the laws and the precedents beforehand. So
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: the NPR ruling is based on the First Amendment. And
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: this is a really this is going to be a
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: very key thing for I believe the Supreme Court is
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: going to have to weigh in on this, not because
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: of NPR and PBS, but because they're equating taking your
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: tax dollars and giving it to someone else as a
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: free speech restriction. Because the lawyers for PBS said it
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: was retaliatory. They made a good enough case that President
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Trump pulled the money because he didn't like the way
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: NPR and PBS spoke about him, covered the campaigns and
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: the absentia and the first administration. And we've gone down
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: this road where money is speech. Ce Citizens United. But
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: that's your money. But if someone else's money, can someone
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: else's money be determined to be speech? Because it seems
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: like this is the ruling out of this Judge Moss's
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: case regarding NPR and PBS is that not only is
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: money equatable to speech, other people's money can be equitable
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: to speech. Your right to use other people's money to
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: transmit a message is somehow now determined. And this has
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: always been the case. Every time the federal government says
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: I'm going to pay for something else, we have warned
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: that they're walking into place where they don't want to be.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: And now they have established these beachheads in places like
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: funding entire broadcast networks. While the next our merger with
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: TENGA is everyone's up in arms about this, but we
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: shrug about Big Bird and Burton, Ernie and NPR and
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: PBS and most things considered and people forget that these
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: networks were started specifically to promote a left wing agenda
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: because the conservative American government wasn't pushing it enough, so
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: they wanted to start, and the federal government gave them
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: the money to keep from looking like they were just
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: an ardent bunch of narrow tied conservatives. But is someone
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: else's money speech.
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: In a study, it was found that thirty three percent
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: of forty four herbal supplements had no trace of the
• 38:08

  Speaker 25: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets

  Speaker 25: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
• 41:36
  Speaker 25: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer

• 44:08
  Speaker 2: The first thing today on the Talk Media Network by
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: Joe Thomas, the second most famous Thomas.
• 44:18
  Speaker 8: I'm sure this.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: On this dead Stay morning. So the question I pose
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: to you, is there a First Amendment protection to get
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: someone else's money to pay for your speech. You see
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: how the lawyers and this is why they get thousands
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: of dollars an hour in some cases because you think, well, okay,
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: Citizens United said you can spend money on ads, which
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: sets the precedent that money is speech or can be
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: equated to speech. And I know it doesn't per se,
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: but the colloquialism is that it's the advertising that's the
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: protected speech. The spending money on it is just commerce.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: But now this extrapolation in this PBS situation is that
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: the president can't withhold money from PBS because they have
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: a right to free speech, and by taking their money away,
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: he's infringing on their free speech rights. And this is
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: a more dangerous precedent from where I sit, not just
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: because I'm a broadcaster, as an arbiter of the days prevails.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: This is a dangerous, dangerous precedent because little by little
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: all through these rulings, all through this first year in
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: change of the Trump administration, and many of these rulings
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: have been coming down on the side of it being
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: somebody else's right to have access to your tax money.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: And I don't think there's a bigger series of conjunctive
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: rulings at all. And this makes John robertson the rest
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: of the Supremes so important into this, and it makes
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: it so important that the lawyers who write the opposition
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: to these right buttoned up, tightly written briefs so that
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: there is no question that we're questioning the legitimacy of
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: the idea that there is a constitutionally protected First Amendment
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: right for me to speak based on the money you
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: give the government and then it gives me. It's a really,
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a minefield that I can't even begin
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: to conceive if you're trying to write something like that
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: in science fiction. Only in America, where we don't have
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: state run media, would we have this. Let me get
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: to you at four three, four eight eight, two four
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: two one seven, Good morning. Who's this.
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: Morning show?
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: Is Mike? Hey, Mike, You're on with Joe. First thing
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: this morning. Who's this, I mean, what's on your mind?
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, my file open to the wrong question.
• 47:36
  Speaker 20: Well, uh, money talks and bs walks. If I had
• 47:41
  Speaker 20: enough money, I'd buy a couple of County of Supervisor
• 47:46
  Speaker 20: boards and have cell tower so I would be as
• 47:50
  Speaker 20: short of a free speech and being able to talk
• 47:53
  Speaker 20: to you without your censorship.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: Worrow, whoa communications? Whoa Mike? You may have just druck
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: gold with this. If the if the supervisors in your
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: home county won't put up cell towers, they're infringing your
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: First Amendment rights.
• 48:13
  Speaker 20: I'll have to see about taking that up with a lawyer,
• 48:18
  Speaker 20: because I well, who knows, but.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: So it's worth an argument.
• 48:24
  Speaker 20: But yes, yeah, yesterday, though it's the real reason I called.
• 48:30
  Speaker 20: You were talking with the John stuntsherts.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: Something like that.
• 48:34
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 48:38
  Speaker 20: When you grow up in the community where it's okay
• 48:43
  Speaker 20: shot make bad jokes about the Jewish community, like who's
• 48:48
  Speaker 20: going to hit the ground first if you push a
• 48:51
  Speaker 20: black boy of a Jewish boy in the Polish boy building,
• 48:55
  Speaker 20: that the same Wow.
• 48:56
  Speaker 6: You.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: Grew up in that community. Yikes, just bad jokes.
• 49:04
  Speaker 20: People thought it was just chokes. But now, as an
• 49:08
  Speaker 20: adult and a few decades later, It's like, I'm not
• 49:13
  Speaker 20: making those chokes anymore.
• 49:16
  Speaker 19: Right, wrong.
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: I could hear the four letter aria. My mother would
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: be if she heard me make a joke like that
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: when I was a kid. Holy moly. I mean, you know,
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: I the world that we're living in right now, it
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: has become so backwards engineered. I cannot believe that we're
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: forty years removed from the creation of films like Blazing
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: Saddles or History of the World Part one, and we've
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: gotten worse, not better at it. A lot of satire
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: was supposed to point out the silliness of you know,
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: race baited, you know, decisions and things like that. Uh,
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: and we're back here again. It's it's just like the
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: removing the Civil War monument seems to have made us
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: forget that, you know, the Civil War is right there
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: under our our groundcover, ready to reignite.
• 50:17
  Speaker 20: Yeah, it's just well, you can see the insensitivity of
• 50:24
  Speaker 20: things over the years. When Blue Sail Balls I Love
• 50:30
  Speaker 20: Lucy was originally airing, along was like the Honeymooners and stuff.
• 50:37
  Speaker 20: You weren't even able to show a married couple in
• 50:40
  Speaker 20: a bedroom then that you could go them in the bedroom,
• 50:46
  Speaker 20: but they had to have separate beds, and they had
• 50:48
  Speaker 20: to be fully dressed. And what is it nowadays? Uh,
• 50:54
  Speaker 20: well it's not esperated, so anyone can box.
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: It as long as there's she We're just we'll put
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: on some Barry White music and watch the sheets Royal
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: up and down on primetime television.
• 51:08
  Speaker 14: You know.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: But I think your point about what John was saying
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: is is that you know, saying something as a joke
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: is not the same thing as anti semitism. Anti Semitism
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: is saying these people need to be taken out because
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: of their beliefs. And I don't believe there's a single
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: person that says the way someone believes or lives or
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: prays is reason enough to take them out. I think
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: their behavior has to be you know what we judge
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: people on, and not in advance, because we've fallen pray
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: mic to a lot of preventive law writings. Oh we
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: need to stop this before it happens. How do you
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: know what crime happened if it hasn't happened yet, But
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: I must run to the news, my friend, good stuff.
• 51:57
  Speaker 20: Oh they enjoy your fifth one?
• 51:59
  Speaker 26: Then?
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: Is that is that my fifth my fifth element? Or
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: is it my first? Or is it my first Amendment?
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure one one and or the other, uh
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: this morning, but Mike's you know, the the idea that
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: you have a right to someone else's money is what
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: I see at the root of this PBS ruling is
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: that they that if I say you can't have my
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: tax money, I've violated your First Amendment rights. Well what
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: other rights? Do you have? Rights to housing? Do you
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: have a right to healthcare? You hear that you know
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: some you know I might want that? Can I get
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: you to pay for that as well?
• 52:51
  Speaker 13: Crime across the country is that an all time high.
• 52:54
  Speaker 13: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
• 52:56
  Speaker 13: a risk. We don't want the feeling of being unprotected
• 52:59
