  Speaker 1: For you from Joe Thomas. It's first thing today.
• 13:17
  Speaker 21: As long as you're on the air, what's on your mind?
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: So this text message comes in on my screed as
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: it was called by Maurice who said quit your belly
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: aching Chester about the FCC. The FCC wants to regulate
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: cable and podcasts the same way they want to regulate radio.
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: I'm all for it. The podcast world is full of
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: people who are telling horrible things to people, and we
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: need to get a rain on it. Mike Huckabee said
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: the same thing on his podcast Parentheses ironically last night,
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: you know, and that's fine, you know, and we will
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: unpack that thought. Maurice. I appreciate the contact on that
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: because it is it is sure he's accused me of
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: doing the same thing. Mark Levin and Megan Kelly did
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: just making a publicity stunt after going after FCC Commissioner
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: Brendan Carr. Now, if it was I'd be getting more
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: publicity out of it. So if it is a publicity stunt,
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: it's a pretty pathetic one. Our friend James is on
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: with us from the Jefferson Coinshop. Jcsgold dot com is
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: where you find them. Silver was in rarefied air, trying
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: to make me look so prescient yesterday as it approaches
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: seventy dollars an ounce, James, how did Monday treat silver
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: and gold on the trading floor?
• 15:05
  Speaker 18: Big Gold ended up being up ninety five dollars on
• 15:09
  Speaker 18: the day, and gold silver continue their run up into
• 15:13
  Speaker 18: today as well. Gold is up another just drive one
• 15:17
  Speaker 18: percent in the green up forty dollars to four thousand,
• 15:20
  Speaker 18: four hundred and eighty four dollars and silver is up
• 15:23
  Speaker 18: three cores of percent to sixty nine dollars and sixty
• 15:27
  Speaker 18: five cents.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, seventy dollars is right there. You can practically touch it.
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: Who knows it might make it there today. You can
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: check the prices anytime because even if you're out and
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: you just have your smartphone with you, jcsgold dot com
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: is a smartphone optimized so you can see all the
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: stuff right there on your phone. Check the charts and everything.
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: But most importantly, contact this family business about investing into
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: gold and silver. Maybe you're going to make a new
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: Year's resolution to do more of that stuff to save
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: for advance, and you know that would be a great hedge,
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: right James.
• 16:04
  Speaker 22: That's absolutely right.
• 16:05
  Speaker 18: And you know a big thing that our customers were
• 16:08
  Speaker 18: excited about yesterday taking a banjob is that we have
• 16:11
  Speaker 18: ten ounce silver bars that we're selling below spot right now.
• 16:15
  Speaker 18: So we're selling ten out silver bars cheaper than the
• 16:18
  Speaker 18: sixty nine sixty five dollars amount per ounce. So check
• 16:22
  Speaker 18: that out at jacschool dot com. Wow, that was a
• 16:24
  Speaker 18: hot ticket day. A lot of our clients couldn't even
• 16:27
  Speaker 18: believe that they could get ten out silver bars below spots,
• 16:30
  Speaker 18: so they were definitely taking advantage of that, and we
• 16:32
  Speaker 18: still have some left.
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: There's a heck of a stocking stuffer there. I love it. James.

• 17:43
  Speaker 6: it all over them, Well then they're not very good
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: and they shouldn't be voted for. That's bottom line in

  Speaker 6: Philadelphia politics anyway. So what's going on?
• 17:52
  Speaker 23: So I have a I have a couple of things
• 17:55

• 17:58
  Speaker 23: So you speak with Eric Trump, and I don't know
• 18:05
  Speaker 23: what your relationship is, and I was just wondering if
• 18:07
  Speaker 23: you could ever get President Trump on. I know he's
• 18:10
  Speaker 23: got a tight schedule, but it would be interesting, you
• 18:14
  Speaker 23: know from the Virginia perspective too, because it's a Bell
• 18:18
  Speaker 23: Weather state and you're a great person and a great
• 18:22
  Speaker 23: announcer and help helping people with a lot of different
• 18:26
  Speaker 23: issues and things like that. But that's one of my
• 18:28
  Speaker 23: things I like to ask you. And then my other
• 18:30
  Speaker 23: thing is President Trump is trying to prevent things. A
• 18:34
  Speaker 23: lot of these other presidents are reactionary. They jump on
• 18:37
  Speaker 23: things after the fact. And one thing if I had
• 18:41
  Speaker 23: a question for President Trump, it would be are we
• 18:44
  Speaker 23: going to build more ice cutters?
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: Because we only have two.
• 18:47
  Speaker 23: I think one's a coastguard and the other is I
• 18:49
  Speaker 23: don't know, maybe it's navy, but they're pretty old. And
• 18:52
  Speaker 23: Russia has like I don't like, forty five and they
• 18:55
  Speaker 23: actually have nuclear powered ice cutters. And as far as
• 19:00
  Speaker 23: we have heard that, of course they're always trying to,
• 19:03
  Speaker 23: you know, get into that space of the burying Sea.
• 19:06
  Speaker 23: I know they used to own Alaska, but you know
• 19:08
  Speaker 23: they can't have it back. And then of course Greenland,
• 19:11
  Speaker 23: we see a lot of things happening there, and and
• 19:14
  Speaker 23: most people three, you know, most people think, oh, he's crazy,
• 19:17
  Speaker 23: but he's not. He's not reacting to things that are
• 19:21
  Speaker 23: things that are going on after the fact. He's trying
• 19:25
  Speaker 23: to do things.
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: Before they happen. Well, that's sort of I think why
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: Jeff Landry has been tabbed to leave Louisiana, uh and
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: and run up to Greenland as US Envoy to Greenland.
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: And certainly, you know, as I said yesterday when I
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: told you the story of that, what a phone call
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: that must have been. Uh, what I gotta leave New
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: Orleans for for Greenland? Certainly, mister President, whatever you say,
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: but you know, as as one of one of your
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: fellow listeners said yesterday, at least in Greenland, the mosquitoes
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: don't come with FAA registrations. They're so big, so and
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: it has less rain than Louisiana. So those are two
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: upsides to it. But the strategically our position, and this
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: is part and parcel, as you said very clearly, why
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: Trump has to be made out to look like a
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: loose screw, you know, dangerous, you know, causing all sorts
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: of chaos. You've heard chaos come back over the last
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: few days as well, because that's what the World Economic
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: Forum and these these folks who want to have a neatly,
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: nicely organized world economy.
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: Hate.
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: They hate chaos, they hate volatility, They hate free markets
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: because free markets, oh I might stop going to somebody's
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: shop one day. They want regulatory capture. They want these
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: things to be controlled so that nobody gets out ahead
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: of anyone else. And I think that's what you're seeing there.
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: As far as having President Trump on the program, I'd
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: be fine with it. I like having Eric on because
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: he's a great local businessman here in Central Virginia, owns
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: a winery and sidery here, and I made some big
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: points with my brother in law because I gave him
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: a copy of his book for Christmas. But as far
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: as President Trump goes, I don't know what the requirements are.
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: I usually know in order to cover presidents you have
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: to give him a pretty good layout of what you're
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: going to ask and approved and not approved questions. And
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: I don't roll like that. So I'm probably too loose
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: of a cannon for the President to sit down with me.
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: But I can imagine too loose cannons like that sitting
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: down in a studio together. That would be pretty scary,
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: wouldn't it.
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: I think it'd be pretty interesting that.

  Speaker 6: colored hair, We see the signs being delivered from sorrow sync.
• 28:49
  Speaker 18: You know what.
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: And and really the part that makes me feel the
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: worst for the folks who get out there and join
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: in the no Kings protests and all this stuff is
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: is that they really are being fed aligne. They they
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: are being lied to in ways that I just find
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: to be offensive, that they're somehow going to have a
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: say in stuff that's going to happen once the revolution comes,
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: and we know for a fact that that's not what's
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: going to happen. Matt's on the line with us at
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: four three four eight eight two four two one seven.
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: Good morning, Matt. How are you doing this Tuesday?
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: Oh? I'm doing all right. I thought the point of
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: the FCC was to allocate bandwidth?
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah yep. Then why.
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: Why did they get involved in content?
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: Because somebody realized they could, you know, it was really
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: I mean, how how do any of these bureaucracies mission
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: creep into these places because there wasn't a specific prohibition
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: on it. So they're like, huh, well, this is the
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: reason I drew this comparison. If you're joining us in progress.
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: Brendan Carr made some stupid ass comments again wanting to
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: get his you know, stalin on at the FCC, mischaracterizing
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: the FCC's role in licensed sure of radio broadcasts. And
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: I know why he's doing it. He's doing it to
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: make the case that the FCC should have the same
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: control over cable television and podcasts and all the other things.
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: But he's wrong, and I called him out for it.
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: But the reason all of these places mission creep is
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: because when we write the regulations that develop an FBI
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: or a Department of Education or an FCC, we don't
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: write in the guardrails specifically prohibiting this sort of like, huh, well,
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: if we have their license, what if we tell them
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: that if we don't like their content, we can to
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: take away their license. It sounds like it it's like
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: Tim Kaine saying that if the government doesn't promise to
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: protect your rights, then technically the government hasn't given you rights.
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean since cable and things on the internet
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: and all of that do not depend on the airwaves.
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: I don't see how Brendan Carr can be anywhere near them.
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: And I'm old enough to remember, yes, the fairness doctrine.
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, whereas, and.
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: You're right, it did more to stifle speech than anything else.
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: Because if I'm running for office and you ask me
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: for an interview and I say no, that automatically checkmates
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: my opponent because you can't ask him for an interview,
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: right because.
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: I'm not on the air yeps. That about the quote
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: fairness doctrine all the time. And the thing about this
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: licensure and the reason I compared it to Tim Waltz
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: and Ralph Northam and all the COVID governors who shut
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: down people's businesses for no other reason than they felt
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: like it because there was a scare going on. So
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: they said, well, how can we force these businesses to close?
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: Will take away their licenses, and that's what they did.
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: And that's you know, one of the things that I
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: wish we had spent more time on during COVID was
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: how powerful these governments have become under these for your
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: own good regulations, This this idea that we have to
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: protect you from unscrupulous operators in the marketplace. And that's
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: kind of what Brendan Carr is talking about there, is
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: that there's cable casters and podcasters saying, you know, unprovable
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: or salacious stuff. Okay, so we have laws that deal
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: with that kind of stuff. Use those, don't create new ones.
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: What it amounts to is that car is saying that
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: you and I are too stupid to figure out what
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: is real and not real on the Internet. And because
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: we're so stupid, somebody like him, who is so smart,
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: is going to take care of us.
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: And the danger this is.
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: And this, this is, this is how you end up
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: with governments insisting that barbers have licenses, hairdressers have licenses,
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: shops want to do a business, You want to do
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: a business of any oh, you need a license.
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: Right yep. And and and therefore we can take away
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: that license if you don't comply with our regulations. And
• 33:57
  Speaker 6: and I and the reason I point out that we
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: already have laws regulating bad behavior in the marketplace. If
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: I fraud, if I commit fraud against somebody, I can
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: be sued if I go on the air, and I
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: am if I in this coverage of this story, let's
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: say I came on the air and say, well, I've
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: heard that Brendan Carr hasn't paid his taxes in years.
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: Somebody ought to look into that, he said, I sound enough.
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: Like not like anybody would ever say something like that.
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: No, no, no, nothing like that at all. You know,
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: he could come back after me with lawyers saying I
• 34:33
  Speaker 6: said something untrue about him and defamed him. And that's
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: how you regulate the market. Because if I am a
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: bad actor, then people can come after me for damages.
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: You don't need to come out in front of me
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: and say, well, you have to live up to these
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: guidelines like you said. The FCC, how somebody look up
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: the original name, because the Federal Communications Commission is another
• 34:59
  Speaker 6: one of these or welly and things that I think
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: for years has been trying to creep into all sorts
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: of communications. But it was like the Federal Broadcast Agency
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: or something like that when it was first started, was
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: simply there.
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: Now it's trying to become the federal control of communications.
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: Right, yeah, without question. And because it's Trump's guy that
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: I feel like it's even more you know, ardent that
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: we push back against it, because this is when this
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: stuff gets changed. Somebody we like as president, they are
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: in one of their minions, does something that winds up
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: being horrible for everyone in time for time in Memoriam,
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: and nobody said anything about it because we like the
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: guy that appointed him, and that cannot be the blinders
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: that we put on. And maybe that's why, as Joel said,
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: maybe why can't I have President Trump on? It's probably
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: because I say stuff like this about his guys well,
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: and also.
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: I mean I periodically hear whining from the left that
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: we need to reinstate the fairness doctrine. Now, their approach
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: on the thing is is that basically Air America, which
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: was bad radio.
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: O god, it was awful.
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: I listened to it for a while just to see
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: what they were saying, and it was bad radio. But
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: they had nowhere near as many listeners as Rush Limbaugh did. Right,
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: So the left would say, oh, well, we need the
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: fairness doctrine so Air America can get more listeners as if. Okay,
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: so what do you do. Do you hold a gun
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: to somebody's head and say, here, listen to this nonsense, or.
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: Do you regulate how much of one channel or another
• 36:54
  Speaker 6: you can listen to, or do you force the radio stations,
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: and this was more likely. The case they were going
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: to was to force radio stations to if you aired
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: Rush Limbaugh, you had to air Al Franken for three
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: hours to have a counterpoint. So I would have to
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: drive away all of my Rush Limbaugh listeners for the
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: couple of Al Franken listeners. And believe me, if Al
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: Franken could have been funny, I might have listened to him.
• 37:21
  Speaker 6: But when Al Franken was writing for Saturday Night Live,
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: he wasn't funny. So you know, the man could could
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: come on in between John Belushi and dan Aykroyd and
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: make everyone turn the television off. This guy was not good.
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: But you know, oh, we must force people to listen
• 37:40
  Speaker 6: to this stuff. Do a better job of convincing people
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: to have an open mind. That's fine, but don't try
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: to regulate it.
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Well, I mean this is I, as the radio listener,
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: determine what is on the airwaves in my house.
• 38:03

  Speaker 13: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 39:08
  Speaker 13: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
• 39:13
  Speaker 13: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 39:19
  Speaker 13: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 39:23
  Speaker 13: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 39:27
  Speaker 13: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 39:32
  Speaker 13: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 39:37
  Speaker 13: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 39:43
  Speaker 13: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer and
• 39:46
  Speaker 13: in many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 39:51

  Speaker 1: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 44:22
  Speaker 6: Hi, Wait, what excuse me?
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 44:41
  Speaker 6: You people in your free will? What the hell? Gosh,
• 44:45
  Speaker 6: put a John Locke on it and put it in
• 44:48
  Speaker 6: your storage shed.
• 44:49
  Speaker 5: Here.
• 44:49
  Speaker 6: We've got a country to run. Can't just go around
• 44:53
  Speaker 6: doing whatever you want. This email from yesterday's program from
• 45:00
  Speaker 6: Sorry Joe, what a brilliant treatise yesterday? Now I waited
• 45:05
  Speaker 6: to read this, could have read this right off the
• 45:08
  Speaker 6: maat what a brilliant treatise yesterday? Over how the government
• 45:13
  Speaker 6: picks and chooses who it punishes. When you compared Jeffrey
• 45:19
  Speaker 6: Epstein to Ruby Ridge and the Branch Davidians. I had
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: to sit there and say, why hasn't anyone else done this.
• 45:31
  Speaker 6: I've emailed several of my other favorite conservative analysts, mostly podcasters,
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: to see if anyone else picks up on it. I
• 45:40
  Speaker 6: imagine Joe Rogan might bring it up at some point,
• 45:44
  Speaker 6: so pay attention. He might be stealing your stuff. Well,
• 45:48
  Speaker 6: I'm just saying, you know, and we're pointing out what
• 45:51
  Speaker 6: he's talking at. Larry is responding to the fact that
• 45:54
  Speaker 6: yesterday we found out that in nineteen ninety the FBI
• 46:01
  Speaker 6: knew about what was going on on Epstein Island and
• 46:06
  Speaker 6: ignored it not two years after burning down the Branch
• 46:11
  Speaker 6: Davidian's compound in Waco, Texas, because there were allegations of
• 46:16
  Speaker 6: child abuse going on there. And I might I might
• 46:23
  Speaker 6: not have I might not have spared any time to
• 46:26
  Speaker 6: say who the president and Attorney General might have been
• 46:31
  Speaker 6: during that period of time. I also, from yesterday's program,
• 46:35
  Speaker 6: I want to go back to something John McGuire, Congressman
• 46:38
  Speaker 6: from Virginia said about this American Dream Act, because he
• 46:42
  Speaker 6: made a great point. I don't think he intended to
• 46:46
  Speaker 6: His bill would give you a five year moratorium on
• 46:50
  Speaker 6: capital gains taxes if you sold to a young person
• 46:56
  Speaker 6: starting out their life, and I don't know how you
• 46:59
  Speaker 6: regulate it. It was just puzzles me. How you how
• 47:02
  Speaker 6: you write a law that could be so specifical?
• 47:04
  Speaker 31: How do we incentivize folks like that to sell their
• 47:07
  Speaker 31: homes to these first time buyers?
• 47:10
  Speaker 6: So and by that he means elderly, older people who
• 47:13
  Speaker 6: own property and you know, aren't selling it because of
• 47:16
  Speaker 6: the capital gains taxes.
• 47:18
  Speaker 31: It used to be twenty percent of home ownership in
• 47:21
  Speaker 31: America was under age thirty two, and now it's closer
• 47:23
  Speaker 31: to one percent. Holy and so it basically creates a
• 47:28
  Speaker 31: five year more tone own capital gains.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: So yeah, and then there's there's devils in the details.
• 47:35
  Speaker 31: But it says you can't sell your property to Black
• 47:38
  Speaker 31: Rock or a corporation, can't sell it to China or
• 47:41
  Speaker 31: a foreign nation. You have to sell it to an
• 47:42
  Speaker 31: American citizen, not a company.
• 47:47
  Speaker 6: But here's here's the you know where I become the
• 47:50
  Speaker 6: problem child in this because if giving you a moratorium
• 47:58
  Speaker 6: on capital gains taxes will increase young people's ability to
• 48:03
  Speaker 6: own home. How about we just eliminate capital gains taxes.
• 48:16
  Speaker 6: I know you're just saying there's another Conservo fascist radio
• 48:21
  Speaker 6: show hosts saying, get rid of capital gains taxes. But
• 48:26
  Speaker 6: if capital gains taxes are getting in the way of
• 48:30
  Speaker 6: people being able to afford housing, which John McGuire's bill
• 48:35
  Speaker 6: seems to be indicative of, then let's get rid of
• 48:39
  Speaker 6: the whole thing. See, this is what I mean about
• 48:42
  Speaker 6: taxes no longer being about funding the government and the
• 48:46
  Speaker 6: services that we have asked them to provide for us.
• 48:50
  Speaker 6: Taxes have become a way to manage our behavior by
• 48:55
  Speaker 6: these things, and we'll give you a tax break by
• 48:58
  Speaker 6: these energy star appliances. We'll give you a tax break.
• 49:01
  Speaker 6: Shop on back to school weekend and we'll give you
• 49:04
  Speaker 6: a tax break. So it's it's all about buy this
• 49:06
  Speaker 6: type of car and we'll give you a tax break. No,
• 49:10
  Speaker 6: how about you just give us a tax break, because
• 49:12
  Speaker 6: obviously this is about regulation, not an income generation. If
• 49:18
  Speaker 6: you will, let me get to you at four three
• 49:20
  Speaker 6: four eight eight two four two one seven, you're on
• 49:23
  Speaker 6: with Joe. First thing this morning. Who's this?
• 49:26
  Speaker 32: Heay, good morning, it's Andy calling from Florida.
• 49:28
  Speaker 6: Hey, Andy, how are you doing this? Morning.
• 49:31
  Speaker 32: I mean I was listening yesterday with great interest, but
• 49:36
  Speaker 32: my plates lady had to cancel because.
• 49:39
  Speaker 6: Of an illness and no, dar, I'm sorry about that.
• 49:42
  Speaker 32: It's okay.
• 49:43
  Speaker 6: So the couple of things.
• 49:46
  Speaker 32: First of all, this this stuff that came out of
• 49:48
  Speaker 32: Georgia that most people didn't even know about. I actually
• 49:52
  Speaker 32: had fun to the entire undercover or Project Gertas.
• 49:57
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, so for.
• 49:59
  Speaker 32: The entire and that was actually out of this funding
• 50:02
  Speaker 32: source in September of twenty twenty. It was like fifteenth
• 50:06
  Speaker 32: or something, and I'm still here. They haven't taken me
• 50:09
  Speaker 32: out yet, but we'd like to because you know, I'm
• 50:14
  Speaker 32: just like you, a freedom fighter in a patriot with
• 50:18
  Speaker 32: respect to you know, pre markets and.
• 50:23
  Speaker 6: The other couldn't well, just one second, just to catch
• 50:26
  Speaker 6: people up, three hundred and fifteen thousand votes were found
• 50:30
  Speaker 6: to have been registered illegally in Fulton County, Georgia alone,
• 50:36
  Speaker 6: three hundred and fifteen thousand votes because nobody signed them.
• 50:41
  Speaker 32: All in the same county as one of the federal
• 50:44
  Speaker 32: Reserve banks.
• 50:45
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, there's that too, think about that.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 50:48
  Speaker 6: Anyway, so you were saying your other thought, it.
• 50:51
  Speaker 32: Said, the other thing is this FCC dude is like,
• 50:56
  Speaker 32: he's like so out of his lane, you know, just
• 51:00
  Speaker 32: he should be like put to the just to the curve.
• 51:05
  Speaker 6: Well I would, I would send him out of the
• 51:06
  Speaker 6: administration sooner than I would send Pam Bondy out because
• 51:11
  Speaker 6: you know, maybe maybe.
• 51:13
  Speaker 32: She's not she's not a very good person either, But.
• 51:16
  Speaker 6: Well that's why I was using that as a comparison.
• 51:19
  Speaker 32: Sure, I mean interesting and all of these people. The
• 51:23
  Speaker 32: other thing I remember doing when I was living in Charlotte,
• 51:27
  Speaker 32: so you can imagine being with the Hegelian Marxist every
• 51:32
  Speaker 32: year it was New Year's Eve. These same people had
• 51:38
  Speaker 32: been getting together for thirty plus years, and so I
• 51:42
  Speaker 32: saw the dark side of you know, of that culture,
• 51:47
  Speaker 32: if you will. But everybody knew that my gift had
• 51:52
  Speaker 32: been that one of those little helicopter cameras and chairs
• 51:57
  Speaker 32: that was really funny. And they said, you know, you
• 52:00
  Speaker 32: have to get an FCC license, And I was like,
• 52:02
  Speaker 32: I never opened the box because I figured I would
• 52:06
  Speaker 32: be the one person who would be persecuted for not
• 52:10
  Speaker 32: renewing my license.
• 52:11
  Speaker 6: Sure, but what they did is they dropped the.
• 52:16
  Speaker 32: Airspace from five hundred feet down to ground level. With
• 52:21
  Speaker 32: that move, I mean think about that. Yeah, and so
• 52:25
  Speaker 32: mine's stole in the box. Your son has a license, right, he's.
• 52:29
  Speaker 6: A licensed drone operator or what are they ever, cruelest
• 52:33
  Speaker 6: aircraft or whatever it's called these days. And again I'm
• 52:37
  Speaker 6: not sure how this is controlled by the FCC and
• 52:41
  Speaker 6: not the FAA. Again, it's another one of these like, well, well,
• 52:44
  Speaker 6: how did you get authority on this? And maybe it's
• 52:47
  Speaker 6: just because nobody ever pays attention to the FCC.
• 52:54
  Speaker 28: Hi, I'm Mark Falter with the Financial Fitness Show. Have
• 52:58
