• 15:05
  Speaker 6: that point. But now you can go on there and
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: a smartphone or at your computer and take a look
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: at how gold and silver are doing. Happy Friday, James,
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: how are you doing, sir?
• 15:16
  Speaker 20: I'm doing wal Joe, and gold and silver are up
• 15:19
  Speaker 20: strong so far this morning. Gold is up third percent
• 15:24
  Speaker 20: to four thousand and three hundred and thirty seven dollars
• 15:28
  Speaker 20: just soaring up fifty seven dollars. Overnight silver is up
• 15:32
  Speaker 20: one and a quarter percent also to sixty four dollars
• 15:35
  Speaker 20: and thirty seven pence.
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: Unbelievable.
• 15:37
  Speaker 20: You know, no end in site. We're in price discovery
• 15:40
  Speaker 20: mode U and I think the next step is the moon.
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: And that's after a rate cut at the FED and
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: you know, trying to you know, bring the American dollar
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: supply under control. In gold and silver, it's still can continue.
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: I mean, you know, at this rate, we're going to
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: have to start calling them cryptocurrency James and unlike that
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: with tongue out of cheek for a moment. This this
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: is the kind of stuff where, you know, when crypto
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: speculators get this kind of a bump, they just expect
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: the crash to come.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: At some point.
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: Some guy will be caught, you know, I don't know,
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: embezzling funds in some crypto bank, and all the cryptocurrencies
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: will go back down to like five cents on the
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: I guess digit.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: But gold and.
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: Silver never does that. I mean, they have their little
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: ups and downs. But you can check graphs at jcsgold
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: dot com and see it's just tracking up all the
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: way since since time begins.
• 16:40
  Speaker 17: Yeah, and so far this.
• 16:41
  Speaker 20: Year, golden the golden silver chart really does look like
• 16:44
  Speaker 20: a crypto chart the way that they have shot up.
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 16:48
  Speaker 20: And and the main thing is that the market cap
• 16:51
  Speaker 20: of gold is so large that, you know, individuals don't
• 16:55
  Speaker 20: move the market of gold, Hedge funds don't move the
• 16:59
  Speaker 20: market of gold, but sovereign governments do. And so that
• 17:03
  Speaker 20: is a clear indication that governments around the world have
• 17:06
  Speaker 20: been turning to gold and investing heavily in gold and
• 17:10
  Speaker 20: restocking their stockpiles. You know, world governments move the gold market,
• 17:16
  Speaker 20: and that it's been very clear so far twenty twenty
• 17:19
  Speaker 20: five that the world is piling up on gold. And
• 17:21
  Speaker 20: if the governments are doing that, that means that you
• 17:25
  Speaker 20: and I should be doing that as well.
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: Well.
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: This is the kind of advice you get from a
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: family business when you call them. You don't get a
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: call center, you don't get somebody who's judged on their
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: work product on a commission. It's a family that wants
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: to help you get into this business that they've been
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: in since nineteen sixty one, James, And still just making
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: sure before we head into a busy weekend. Christmas is
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: getting close, you said, next week is pretty much the
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: deadline if you want to get one of these Christmas
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: rounds before the holidays get here. They still have enough
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: on stock right now.
• 18:00
  Speaker 20: Yeah, they're still in stock, although I will say that
• 18:02
  Speaker 20: supply is getting pretty low.
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: I was looking.
• 18:06
  Speaker 20: We were kind of had some limited designs yesterday. We're
• 18:11
  Speaker 20: trying to you know, slowly, you know, make sure that
• 18:14

• 18:16
  Speaker 20: emergency cases. But supply is getting pretty low. So if
• 18:20

• 18:35
  Speaker 6: and thank you sir, and we'll talk to you again
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: on Monday.
• 18:39
  Speaker 20: Thanks to show you too.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Four three four.
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: Coin is their number as well, but as several folks
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: have done, you call me, I'll give you their number.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Two.
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: That's the service you get if you're just following up
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: to the quick little promotional announcement we made about the
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: Consumer Electronics Show. If you have a business that deals
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: in these things, like garage door openers and security systems
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: and stuff like that that most people don't even equate to.
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: These things firearms. The digital world in firearms is a
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: booming industry. These are all things we would love to
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: associate you with. Me love you long time. As they say, well,
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: check that one off the list, but we will associate
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: you with our special broadcasts from the Consumer Electronics shows
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: to that and some reaction to our segments the last
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: hour over the Indiana redistricting issue. This one I particularly
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: like because it's showing that we're in all these new
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: places establishing what I like to call habitual users of
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: the program. Terry listening to us in Chicago. I guess
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: in Evanston rights in I shouldn't judge. Maybe it's Joliet
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: as well. They cover the city shot Chicago pretty nicely,
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: writes in.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Joe.
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: I can't believe you went an entire hour on a
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: redistricting story and never once brought up that we should
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: have three times as many of these nitwits in Congress
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: running around bumping into each other. I know you mentioned
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: the Permanent Reapportionment Act, but I expected you to go
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: into a whole rant about how all this would be avoidable.
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: Oh wait, now you're going to read this and probably
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: start doing just that. L L, see what you're doing,
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: air Terry. But I appreciate you listening there in the
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: Windy City. But yeah, this is all avoidable. This is
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: self inflicted wounds. This redistricting stuff is all fixable if
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: all these states just called for a Convention of States
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: and overturned the Permanent Reapportionment Act. Heck, you don't even
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: need to do that. All it is is a law.
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: It was a law passed in nineteen twenty nine. I
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: think first the first iteration of it was written, Oh,
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: just about the time the Federal Reserve Bank was started,
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: and all the good stuff in the nineteen teens. But
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: by nineteen twenty nine they finally passed it, capping the
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: size of the US House of Representatives, and as the
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: population quadrupled, well somewhere in between tripled and quadrupled, and
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: the intervening one hundred and change years, we just keep
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, and most of
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: it is under partisan rule. But we wouldn't have this
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: battle if we had constitutionally mandated proportional districts and there's
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: an easy way to fix that. It's just a piece
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: of legislation. Heck, we've just watched two discharge petitions bring
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: unpopular legislation to the fore. Why can't we get this
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: to the floor of the house.
• 22:01
  Speaker 11: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National League Training for Planet Fitness,

• 22:08
  Speaker 11: at least one hundred and fifty minutes of moderate aerobic
• 22:11
  Speaker 11: activity in a week's time. But here's the thing, that
• 22:13
  Speaker 11: one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to be
• 22:16
  Speaker 11: super intense. As a matter of fact, it could just
• 22:18
  Speaker 11: be you moving your body and doing what you already
• 22:20
  Speaker 11: love to do, like exercise. And a stronger heart doesn't
• 22:24
  Speaker 11: just mean cardio, right, it means also infusing your workout
• 22:27
  Speaker 11: routines with strength training as well. So we are super

• 28:48
  Speaker 6: Muskit stone Seally out and in the four Corners, writes
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: in on one of the other stories we hit on
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: this morning, President Trump has signaled that coming the beginning
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: of next year, he will move to move marijuana off
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: of the Class one narcotics list, citing the fact that
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: it has some medical applications. Now, Sealy writes in where's
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: his text there?
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: So?
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: It writes in President Trump will get no love from
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: the lefties for rescheduling cannabis, and conservatives will scream on
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: principle the wide array of cannabis enemies will be incensed.
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: I don't know why President Trump is stirring up this
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: hornet's nest. Well, all right, couple of I think you asked,
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: so I'm going to answer anyway. Seely number one, he
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: might just out of pure honesty, not believe it deserves
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: to be on article on Schedule one. He has many
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: friends in the athletic world, football players, etc. Who are
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: grand advocates for medical marijuana and especially the THC. So
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: it's not just about smoking the wrinkled winstons. It's about
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: looking at what is in this plant that can bring
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: pain relief, can help inflammation go down, repetitive injuries, head injuries,
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: those kind of things. So being a Schedule one prohibits
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: even the investigations into that. So that could be or
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: and again under the heading porte nolos dose, both could
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: be true. He wants to drag the lefties out into
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: the land of hypocrisy. These are the folks who want
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: to allegedly find the school to prison pipeline. Barack Obama
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: and his hypocritical dear colleagues advisory that led to all
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: the deaths at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School. We must
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: fight this school to prison pipeline. So if somebody in
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: school is causing trouble, ignore it. All these advocates for
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: civil rights would have to support Donald Trump for this
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: unless they are the grandest batch of nose touting hypocrites
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: ever known to mankind. And I think there might be
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: some of the President Trump's plan. Now, do the politicians
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: running for re election in the midterms have the intestical
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: fortitude to battle on that course? Donald Trump does and
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: seem to care. If you do, you do, if you don't,
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: to your own peril be it. See the Indiana Republicans
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: that wouldn't vote to redraw their congressional districts while Illinois
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: to their left is doing exactly the same thing. Let
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: me get to you at four three four eight eight
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: two four two one seven. You can text message there
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: as well. I want to read Bob's text he sent
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: us a graphic earlier. But first to you. Good morning.
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: You're on the air with Joe. First thing this morning.
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: Who's this.
• 32:34
  Speaker 26: A person riding a reindar to a no cell phone
• 32:39
  Speaker 26: surface here?
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: Well, I hope it's Donner or Blitzen, because you know
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: they'll pull you over for Rudolph's red nose.
• 32:53
  Speaker 24: Concerned it was there, He goes, all right, it's Mike.
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: Luckily, luckily he can hear the radio station where he
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: is because we can't get his cell phone to connect
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: to it. That's what we need. We need to get
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: you a walkie talkie or something there, or maybe some
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: tin cans strung between the studio and you might because
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: you are just not having the hold it. We have
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: a moment of clarity with Mike. I really want to hear.
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: What you have to say is usually bring good stuff.
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: But we can't hang on to this forever, so go ahead.
• 33:34
  Speaker 26: Well we'll see about the ten Kansas screen that that's
• 33:37
  Speaker 26: probably more reliable. But a couple of years ago, before
• 33:41
  Speaker 26: you became syndicated, we were talking about I have a
• 33:45
  Speaker 26: friend that works for the Fred Rowhan government. His doctor
• 33:50
  Speaker 26: suggested maybe prescribing him some cannabis to help him, but
• 33:57
  Speaker 26: he said no, because who's pain. Doctors built the federal governments.
• 34:02
  Speaker 26: It's a federal employee, and being scheduled one, it was
• 34:06
  Speaker 26: still illegal. Virginia has decriminalized it, but they can't legalize
• 34:12
  Speaker 26: it because of Schedule one. So Virginia won't arrest you, well,
• 34:19
  Speaker 26: Virginia's law enforstment, but federal law enforstment could still arrescue
• 34:24
  Speaker 26: for have been recreational amounts of marijuana on you. So
• 34:31
  Speaker 26: it's just it's no matter how you slice it, it's
• 34:36
  Speaker 26: going to be fun.
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: It always is. Mike, Thank you, sir, se. We managed
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: to get all of Mike's call in before he hit
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: another dead zone in his cell services. What happens when
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: if you ever hear any of your elected officials saying
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: we need to get rid of those ugly cell phone
• 34:52
  Speaker 6: towers on our entrance card are because people driving into Evanston,
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: they're just yeah, confronted with it's a lot.
• 35:00
  Speaker 7: It's like the Las Vegas strip.
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: Oh my god, it's just so bad. These little authoritarian
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: must control rhetoric of death because but they are they
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: and these are the people who infringe on the most
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: of your liberties, the ones that vote at ten o'clock
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: at night in a county board of supervisors meeting to
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: restrict your land use on your own property, flying in
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: the face of that very basic American concept of owning property.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: They don't want that.
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: And if there is a litmus test to the progressive left.
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: Go to any left wing county supervisor or planning commisations,
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: listen to them, or ask your left wing state representative
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: about land use restrictions and easements. They don't want you
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: to own your own property. And the best part of
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: not owning your own property is the hair on fire
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: Southern Californians who are all about well, you know, hair
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: on fire in southern California. Probably not the way I
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: should have said that, but too late. But these folks
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: in southern California who have lost their battle control because
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: the Department of Interior has turned over seven hundred and
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: sixty acres of land to the Navy to use as
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: basically a navy base. And it's this navy base right
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: along the southern border of America. Hey, you wanted the
• 36:42
  Speaker 6: government to own your property, you wanted the government to
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: preserve these lands. Well, guess what, you're not always in
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: charge of the government. So this should be a cautionary
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: tale about what happens when you ask the government to
• 36:59
  Speaker 6: do these things for us. This is making it Schedule
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: three doesn't decriminalize it. Okay, well I know, but it
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: probably changes what you're able to do with that. I
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: haven't looked at all the Schedule three. You know, we

• 37:45
  Speaker 6: they were run out of town on a rail, both
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: of them there for it. Tom did a few other
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: things to make the Republican Party not happy with him.
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: Just proof that these parties have grown out of control
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: like a frat party.

  Speaker 1: About Amaze your friends here in First Thing Today by
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: Joe Thomas, dam.
• 44:18
  Speaker 6: Dog, We're all afraid to speak the truth, and the
• 44:20
  Speaker 6: more afraid we get, the more we hate the ones
• 44:22
  Speaker 6: who do.
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: You're ashamed to be American?
• 44:24
  Speaker 7: Okay, that's cool, because honestly, we are all ashamed of
• 44:27
  Speaker 7: you two.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: So the forecast said.
• 44:32
  Speaker 12: They would be.
• 44:32
  Speaker 6: So Seeley follows up with a text message there and
• 44:39
  Speaker 6: he says, I see good potential tactic by President Trump.
• 44:43
  Speaker 6: Left he's infected with Trump derangement syndrome, will be cutting
• 44:47
  Speaker 6: their noses off despite President Trump. That's my theory on it.
• 44:52
  Speaker 6: I think, honestly, the reason he's doing is that he
• 44:56
  Speaker 6: doesn't believe it should be on that list. This one
• 45:01
  Speaker 6: just came to actually have the Drug Scheduling Guides of
• 45:05
  Speaker 6: the United States. Here Schedule one, most potential for abuse
• 45:09
  Speaker 6: and dependence, no medical qualities, heroin, LSD, marijuana, ecstasy, PAYOT,
• 45:15
  Speaker 6: Schedule two, High potential for abuse and dependency, some medical
• 45:20
  Speaker 6: qualities vicotin, cocaine, methanphetamine, oxy continent, adderall, hell cocaine and
• 45:28
  Speaker 6: meth are on the same list as adderall and oxy contin.
• 45:33
  Speaker 6: Schedule three Moderate potential for abuse dependence, acceptable medical qualities.
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: Doctor's prescription required, tile andol with codeine, ketamine, steroids, testosterone,
• 45:46
  Speaker 6: testosterone need to be separate from starts. I guess you
• 45:48
  Speaker 6: know to a degree. Schedule four, Low potential of abuse
• 45:52
  Speaker 6: and dependence. Acceptable medical qualities. Prescription required Xanax, Davron, valuum
• 46:00
  Speaker 6: at a van ambient, tramadol. And then the last of
• 46:05
  Speaker 6: it is Roba Tussin. Schedule five, Roba Tussin, Lama til,
• 46:11
  Speaker 6: mofo taken whatever what is that? I don't know what
• 46:15
  Speaker 6: moto faken, I'm not sure. And Lyrica are your those
• 46:20
  Speaker 6: are your classes of narcotic. There we get doctor Clark
• 46:26
  Speaker 6: is on the line with us at four three four
• 46:28
  Speaker 6: eight A two four two one seven. Oh, hold it
• 46:31
  Speaker 6: this text before you get started. So this one, Jerry
• 46:35
  Speaker 6: writes in, just have Tony Fauci come out and say
• 46:38
  Speaker 6: it's safe and effective. Joe, we'll all go along.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 46:42
  Speaker 6: I see you playing alone there, pulling in some stuff anyway,
• 46:44
  Speaker 6: doctor Clark. Uh, that all being said, Welcome to the
• 46:48
  Speaker 6: public comments session of today's hearing. What's on your mind?
• 46:51
  Speaker 5: Sir?
• 46:53
  Speaker 19: Wait a minute, back up the truck. How did Tony
• 46:56
  Speaker 19: Fauci get a patent on thha?
• 47:00
  Speaker 6: I don't know. I think I think he You know,
• 47:02
  Speaker 6: Jerry was just saying, if we want to get marijuana mainstream.
• 47:09
  Speaker 19: Yeah, the only way he's going to say that is
• 47:11
  Speaker 19: there's some kind of fiduciary reward. How long was Mitch
• 47:18
  Speaker 19: McConnell in the Senate, Joe, I know it was a
• 47:20
  Speaker 19: long time, right it was.
• 47:22
  Speaker 6: I think it was right after it was right after
• 47:24
  Speaker 6: the Civil War. Uh, it may have been before Joe
• 47:27
  Speaker 6: Biden got there.
• 47:29
  Speaker 19: Now, you would think that for like that length of service,
• 47:35
  Speaker 19: you should have some kind of honorarium or something. Now,
• 47:39
  Speaker 19: when we look at what the Indiana legislature has just done,
• 47:47
  Speaker 19: I think we should say they did a McConnell.
• 47:51
  Speaker 6: They mined.
• 47:54
  Speaker 19: Yes, you know, Mitch new for a certain fact that
• 48:00
  Speaker 19: being in the minority could be just as lucrative, if
• 48:06
  Speaker 19: not more, in the majority. But there was much more
• 48:11
  Speaker 19: expectations from the electorate, and you didn't actually have to
• 48:15
  Speaker 19: produce anything for the electorate. Sure, as long as you
• 48:19
  Speaker 19: can deliver to the special interest. You got your money.
• 48:25
  Speaker 19: But hey, we're in the minority. That's why we can't
• 48:27
  Speaker 19: do this. If you do it for more of us,
• 48:29
  Speaker 19: then we could do something for you. Am I wrong?
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: No?
• 48:35
  Speaker 6: No, you're absolutely right. No you're not. You're absolutely spot on.
• 48:39
  Speaker 6: I mean it's it is. What's got Congress with an
• 48:44
  Speaker 6: approval rating of like thirty percent right now.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: Yes, you know.
• 48:50
  Speaker 19: You're in Virginia where you got a blue legislature. I'm
• 48:54
  Speaker 19: in Alabama. We couldn't be much redder and they still
• 48:58
  Speaker 19: do blue. Okay, so there's that. Yeah. Now on this
• 49:06
  Speaker 19: Australia teenager band thing, you know, Joe that it's not
• 49:16
  Speaker 19: my whole life. At least the last twenty years has
• 49:19
  Speaker 19: taught me that every time they come up with something new,
• 49:22
  Speaker 19: they do a proposal. Whatever my go to has got
• 49:27
  Speaker 19: to be not are they up to something, but what
• 49:31
  Speaker 19: are they up to? And given that, and then when
• 49:38
  Speaker 19: you look who was more cutting edge and leftist edicts
• 49:47
  Speaker 19: during the COVID shutdown, Gritch and Whittmer, Gavin Newsom or
• 49:53
  Speaker 19: Australia and New Zealand, I give you we could have
• 49:56
  Speaker 19: a debate about that.
• 49:58
  Speaker 6: Well, Australia properly enough. Australia properly had concentration camps for
• 50:03
  Speaker 6: people that wouldn't get the clock shot.
• 50:05
  Speaker 19: Right now, Given that and that, I'm automatically suspicious, I
• 50:12
  Speaker 19: seriously got to wonder what they're up to, Joe, is
• 50:14
  Speaker 19: this Is this a way to work in this digital
• 50:17
  Speaker 19: idea that so desperately want.
• 50:19
  Speaker 6: So what doctor Clark is talking about is Australia is
• 50:23
  Speaker 6: enacting a social media ban on children under the age
• 50:27
  Speaker 6: of sixteen, which I guess they don't have a school
• 50:31
  Speaker 6: to prison pipeline to fight like Barack Obama did their Well,
• 50:36
  Speaker 6: you know, first and foremost, let's go back to Barack Obama.
• 50:39
  Speaker 6: Remember when Hosney Mubarak shut down the Internet during the
• 50:43
  Speaker 6: Arab Spring. Yes, what did Barack Obama say to the
• 50:47
  Speaker 6: press gaggle as this was going.
• 50:50
  Speaker 19: On now, I'm trying to remember that.
• 50:54
  Speaker 6: Well, he said he said, he said, boy, it'd be
• 50:56
  Speaker 6: great to have a button like that here in the
• 50:58
  Speaker 6: Oval office. And so these folks who use social media,
• 51:05
  Speaker 6: as soon as they've achieved what they want with it,
• 51:08
  Speaker 6: they want to shut it down for everyone else. And
• 51:12
  Speaker 6: it I hate to do this because I think there's
• 51:15
  Speaker 6: some of this that applies to the wacky Tobacci as well.
• 51:19
  Speaker 6: But we need as humans to stop blaming our behavior
• 51:24
  Speaker 6: on otherwise inanimate objects. You know, this is the whole
• 51:30
  Speaker 6: moral society thing that John Adams was warning about. It's
• 51:34
  Speaker 6: not guns, it's not marijuana, it's not social media.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: It's us.
• 51:39
  Speaker 6: We have to stop being horrible to each other.
• 51:44
  Speaker 19: Yes, yes, you know the other thing that I wonder about, well,
• 51:51
  Speaker 19: I don't wonder about it. I'm sure it's another case
• 51:55
  Speaker 19: of the government becoming the parent. Yep, yep, fine and simple.
• 52:01
  Speaker 19: Oh absolutely, you know they just started it there, they
• 52:06
  Speaker 19: look for it to spread anyway, and you did have
• 52:11
  Speaker 19: me thrown there. I was so pickled when you talked
• 52:14
  Speaker 19: about the dear Comrade letter because I think you and
• 52:17
  Speaker 19: I and maybe two people other than us are the
• 52:20
  Speaker 19: only ones that remember.
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: That letter to your comrade.
• 52:24
  Speaker 6: Well that was why uh Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School
• 52:28
  Speaker 6: got shot up and we were left with the you know,
• 52:31
  Speaker 6: with the you know what's his name running around, you know,
• 52:35
  Speaker 6: getting his crewit Nicholas Cruise. Nicholas Cruise. No, that who's
• 52:40
  Speaker 6: who's the annoying little you.
• 52:42
  Speaker 19: Know oh oh oh oh.
• 52:45
  Speaker 6: Forget is it big?
• 52:48
  Speaker 19: Yeah?
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah yeah big.

  Speaker 5: At DAV. We're on a mission to help veterans get
• 53:18
  Speaker 5: the benefits they've earned.

  Speaker 5: DAV offers veterans of all generations a lifetime of support
• 53:27
  Speaker 5: for victories great and small.
• 53:29
