- 0:10Speaker 1: So what do you think about the adult problem? And
- 0:13Speaker 1: I said, definitely have to. We have too many dogs.
- 0:15Speaker 2: Cool by Joe Thomas on the Chalk Media Network.
- 0:20Speaker 3: For five percent tax, one time on Elon Musk, you
- 0:24Speaker 3: could have universal childcare in America.
- 0:32Speaker 4: Oh it gets dumber than that, then rocon that keeps talking.
- 0:36Speaker 3: Ten dollars a day, five percent, and he wouldn't even
- 0:39Speaker 3: miss it because the market would grow by fifteen percent
- 0:41Speaker 3: and his wealth would still grow.
- 0:43Speaker 4: So aside from the arrogance of a Democrat saying that
- 0:47Speaker 4: it's his money, not yours, think about what he just said.
- 0:51Speaker 4: Do the arithmetic in this, and think about the sanctified
- 0:56Speaker 4: mayor of Minneapolis to take Jake Fry, who, amidst the
- 1:03Speaker 4: riots and the shootings and the people trying to get
- 1:07Speaker 4: ice officers to treat them badly, said we're just trying
- 1:13Speaker 4: to protect our builas and our bus boys.
- 1:17Speaker 3: For five percent tax, one time an Elon Musk, you
- 1:21Speaker 3: could have universal childcare in America ten dollars a.
- 1:24Speaker 4: Day, ten dollars a day. Who is he hiring? You
- 1:31Speaker 4: can't get the teenage girl from down the buck. Now
- 1:34Speaker 4: I know who the Democrats want to be the permanent
- 1:38Speaker 4: underclass ten dollars a day, you're going to pay for
- 1:43Speaker 4: childcare for somebody. Can somebody call this guy and explain
- 1:48Speaker 4: to him what childcare costs.
- 1:50Speaker 3: For five percent tax one time, an Elon Musk. You
- 1:55Speaker 3: could have universal childcare in America ten dollars a.
- 1:58Speaker 4: Day, ten dollars a day if you tax every dollar
- 2:04Speaker 4: that Elon Musk may make somewhere in the future for
- 2:09Speaker 4: ten percent or five percent. Understand that they when they
- 2:14Speaker 4: talk about this, they're talking about a wealth tax, which
- 2:18Speaker 4: is based on the potential earnings. Your wealth is as
- 2:22Speaker 4: they determine it, based on your stock portfolio, which is
- 2:26Speaker 4: unrealized gains. Let's leave that for a moment. Let's leave
- 2:31Speaker 4: the nuttiness of that for a moment. The arrogance of
- 2:36Speaker 4: they will tax you five percent, Yeah, yeah, and you'll
- 2:42Speaker 4: get ten dollars. What excuse me? That doesn't buy lunch
- 2:48Speaker 4: for the abuela that has to come and watch my baby.
- 2:52Speaker 4: Never mind the fact that I have to download some
- 2:56Speaker 4: Rosetta Stone software so that I can learn to tell her,
- 3:00Speaker 4: you know, where to put the dirty diapers. I will
- 3:07Speaker 4: thank him for the economic lesson in exactly what would
- 3:11Speaker 4: be earned if you taxed a wealthy person five percent
- 3:15Speaker 4: of their unrealized gains. Thank you for telling us that
- 3:19Speaker 4: it would get us exactly ten dollars per person. Dumber
- 3:25Speaker 4: than a bag of hair. And I apologize to anyone
- 3:28Speaker 4: who has bags of hair laying around. I don't mean
- 3:31Speaker 4: to impugne their intelligence, but good God Almighty help us please.
- 3:36Speaker 4: And this guy's elected to represent part of California. Even
- 3:40Speaker 4: Californians think this guy's nuttlier than a bag of squirrel poo. Anyway,
- 3:47Speaker 4: let me get to the phones at four three four
- 3:49Speaker 4: eight eight two four two one seven are on the
- 3:52Speaker 4: air with Joe. First thing this morning, Clark, is that
- 3:55Speaker 4: you Yes, sir, how are you this morning?
- 4:00Speaker 5: I'm doing great, Joe. I am kind of lamenting to
- 4:03Speaker 5: fude that there's only like a week and a day
- 4:06Speaker 5: left in Pride Month, But you know.
- 4:08Speaker 4: Hey, we celebrate as we will, got we had.
- 4:10Speaker 5: And don't lament when it's passed.
- 4:12Speaker 4: I guess right, Well, you know, pride is where you
- 4:15Speaker 4: have it, and especially in New York. I hope you
- 4:18Speaker 4: were enjoying just a non gestating person's day yesterday.
- 4:25Speaker 5: Well I haven't been jest stating, so I enjoyed it.
- 4:28Speaker 4: Well, New York State had to make that clear. So
- 4:30Speaker 4: in New York State there are no men and women anymore.
- 4:33Speaker 4: There are gestating persons and non gestating persons. I'm waiting
- 4:37Speaker 4: for the first trans person to challenge this under the
- 4:42Speaker 4: Civil Rights Act, saying that their civil rights were violated
- 4:46Speaker 4: even though there were a trans male wearing a female
- 4:49Speaker 4: cocktail dress. They don't want to be classified as a
- 4:52Speaker 4: non gestating person. It's gonna come. I'm just waiting for somebody,
- 4:57Speaker 4: some ambulance chaser in New York to get tired chasing
- 5:00Speaker 4: the ambulances. Uh, and they'll be in court soon.
- 5:05Speaker 5: It's like sundance at Conservative Treatthouse says we live in
- 5:08Speaker 5: a time of great pretending.
- 5:11Speaker 2: It's true.
- 5:13Speaker 4: So what else on your mind? Oh? So for those
- 5:18Speaker 4: who for those who missed the opening, I guess you
- 5:21Speaker 4: must have heard it. If you heard me talking about
- 5:23Speaker 4: Lindsey Graham, the neocon, you know he is. He gave
- 5:27Speaker 4: a master's class, and what a neocon sounds like. Oh,
- 5:30Speaker 4: I spent hours four and a half hours of Donald
- 5:33Speaker 4: Trump over the weekend. This deal's gonna fail and then
- 5:36Speaker 4: won't be able to send more so soldiers than there
- 5:38Speaker 4: and then they'll be able to buy more mythyl than
- 5:41Speaker 4: Oh good golly, Molly, just stop them before they breed anymore.
- 5:47Speaker 5: Okay, we'll get into that in half a second. But
- 5:51Speaker 5: neo con. Every time I hear the term neo con,
- 5:55Speaker 5: I think it's a con. We're being conn. It's not
- 6:01Speaker 5: a con.
- 6:06Speaker 2: Or the subcon or shaka con.
- 6:10Speaker 5: You know. And neocon doesn't that imply the existence of
- 6:15Speaker 5: paleocons and mesocons?
- 6:18Speaker 2: Yes, when was that era?
- 6:19Speaker 5: What wiped out the paleocon is? That's some kind of
- 6:22Speaker 5: comed event or something. I don't know.
- 6:25Speaker 4: It was lava overflowing from Mount Neocon. The neocons actually
- 6:29Speaker 4: invented weapons procurement systems, uh and were able to run
- 6:34Speaker 4: out the paleocons.
- 6:36Speaker 5: I think neocon is some kind of uniparty speak.
- 6:40Speaker 4: Oh yeah, without question, you know, you got to have
- 6:42Speaker 4: your neo But but but the point being is this,
- 6:45Speaker 4: these are the warmongers, These are the daddy Trump's out
- 6:48Speaker 4: there trying to make a peace steal and he's out there. No,
- 6:51Speaker 4: I can't have it, can't have it. And and please
- 6:53Speaker 4: stop living down to stereotype. You know, we're trying to
- 6:57Speaker 4: end a war that even Thomas Jefferson said, probably needed
- 7:00Speaker 4: to be waged. Let's end it, be done with it,
- 7:04Speaker 4: and write a postcard. These guys can't allow it, and
- 7:09Speaker 4: their and their mouthpieces on the internet are the worst,
- 7:12Speaker 4: you know, the ones who are like, oh, Trump never
- 7:14Speaker 4: got our permission to start this war, and now it's
- 7:16Speaker 4: Trump never got our permission to end this war. Get
- 7:19Speaker 4: over yourselves. Come on, folks, live in the now. I'm sorry,
- 7:23Speaker 4: I'm on my last good nerve this one morning.
- 7:27Speaker 5: So Auburn University football uh huh had a quarterback back
- 7:34Speaker 5: in the nineties maybe okay, now, came in as a freshman,
- 7:42Speaker 5: and the thing was was anytime I played it and
- 7:46Speaker 5: go right, you had no clue what he was going
- 7:48Speaker 5: to do. Now, I've caused it. If the coaching staff
- 7:54Speaker 5: had no clue what he was going to do, there's
- 7:57Speaker 5: no way the other team had any idea how he
- 8:01Speaker 5: was going to react in the given situation. Okay, okay,
- 8:06Speaker 5: I kind of been watching Donald Trump a little bit, yeah,
- 8:11Speaker 5: a little bit, and all these talking heads that come
- 8:14Speaker 5: on and oh, this Iran deal is a terrible deal.
- 8:17Speaker 5: This is the worst deal over, YadA, YadA, YadA, This
- 8:20Speaker 5: isn't gonna work. That isn't gonna work, all right, Not
- 8:24Speaker 5: a one of them has any clue what Donald Trump
- 8:29Speaker 5: is up to. Now. Maybe Marco Rubio, maybe, head Seth maybe,
- 8:40Speaker 5: but the rest of them, there's no way they have
- 8:43Speaker 5: any idea what his plan is or what his endgame is.
- 8:49Speaker 5: And he ain't gonna let anybody know what it is
- 8:52Speaker 5: because he played his cards very closely.
- 8:55Speaker 4: Especially this term.
- 8:57Speaker 5: Yeah, well, he's had an education on the last term.
- 9:03Speaker 5: Figured some things out.
- 9:05Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
- 9:06Speaker 5: I something about if you're going to strike the king,
- 9:09Speaker 5: you better kill the king. Yeah, they're screwed up on this.
- 9:12Speaker 2: Yees.
- 9:13Speaker 4: Oh so thirty seconds.
- 9:16Speaker 5: You know, it just fascinates me all these people coming
- 9:20Speaker 5: out talking about how the Iran deal is a bad deal, this,
- 9:24Speaker 5: that and the other thing. Here's the thing, Donald Trump
- 9:27Speaker 5: has to win the midterm, and once that happens, the
- 9:34Speaker 5: Iranians better pray they've done not.
- 9:35Speaker 4: A deal and that they're living up to it. Good stuff,
- 9:39Speaker 4: doctor Clark, You have a great morning this morning. Take
- 9:43Speaker 4: care four three four eight eight two four to two
- 9:46Speaker 4: one seven. Yeah, well he's not wrong. Donald Trump has
- 9:52Speaker 4: learned to keep his friends closer and his enemies as
- 9:55Speaker 4: close as he can. I figured ad jd Van.
- 10:00Speaker 6: According to a new report from Discovery Education, ninety two
- 10:03Speaker 6: percent of students say that engaging lessons make school more fun,
- 10:07Speaker 6: and more than ninety percent of educators said engagement is
- 10:09Speaker 6: critical for student achievement. Student engagement is essential for learning,
- 10:14Speaker 6: but gaps remain about how to achieve, measure and sustain
- 10:17Speaker 6: student's interest in the classroom. Although sixty three percent of
- 10:21Speaker 6: students agreed that students are highly engaged in school, only
- 10:24Speaker 6: forty five percent of teachers and fifty one percent of
- 10:27Speaker 6: principles surveyed agreed with the same statement. Educators disagreed on
- 10:32Speaker 6: the top indicators of engagement. Seventy two percent of teachers
- 10:35Speaker 6: said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of student engagement,
- 10:40Speaker 6: while fifty four percent of superintendents rate performing well on
- 10:43Speaker 6: assessments as a top engagement indicator. Also, two thirds of
- 10:47Speaker 6: students said they believed that AI could help them learn faster,
- 10:50Speaker 6: yet fewer than half of teachers report using AI themselves
- 10:54Speaker 6: to complete tasks. Visit Discovery education dot com to learn
- 10:57Speaker 6: more and view the full report.
- 11:01Speaker 1: So what do you think about the adult problem? Yeah,
- 11:04Speaker 1: that's a definitely deal. We have too many dogs the first.
- 11:07Speaker 2: Thing today by Joe Thomas on the Chunk Media Network
- 11:11Speaker 2: for five percent tax one time on Elon Musk.
- 11:15Speaker 3: You could have universal childcare in America.
- 11:18Speaker 7: George, that steal me. You have a day ten dollars
- 11:22Speaker 7: a day, what at least for work when the sun
- 11:25Speaker 7: comes up, drops Aco And he wouldn't even miss it.
- 11:29Speaker 7: To all the josted, no one that Joe's as smiled.
- 11:36Speaker 4: He only aids, I bless these folks, John, and you
- 11:42Speaker 4: for letting me be of service to.
- 11:43Speaker 3: You five percent. And he wouldn't even miss it because
- 11:48Speaker 3: the market would grow by fifty percent and his wealth
- 11:50Speaker 3: would still grow.
- 11:52Speaker 4: Yeah, that's their attitude towards your money. That's California Democrat,
- 11:56Speaker 4: the king of redundancy, California Democrat Rogue Hannah saying the
- 12:01Speaker 4: quiet part out loud. This is how they view your money.
- 12:05Speaker 4: It's theirs. They're just letting you use it for whatever
- 12:08Speaker 4: they give you permission to let you use it for.
- 12:11Speaker 4: And these are the corruptives that we need to fix.
- 12:16Speaker 4: We spend all our time on this one. That one.
- 12:19Speaker 4: Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, Rogue, Kanna, Mark Warner.
- 12:24Speaker 1: All of.
- 12:26Speaker 4: The corruptive forces are the attitude of the elected class
- 12:30Speaker 4: that the money in your pocket is theirs and they
- 12:34Speaker 4: just let you use it for the time being. That's
- 12:38Speaker 4: what's gone wrong. We're done here. Now we can talk
- 12:43Speaker 4: about toy sports story five. I guess now we fixed everything.
- 12:49Speaker 4: But seriously, look at all the issues. Look at the
- 12:53Speaker 4: debasement of the amount our value of our currency. Ten.
- 12:57Speaker 4: There was an argument made to me over the weekend
- 12:59Speaker 4: that was under selling the value of our currency, that
- 13:04Speaker 4: it's more like five cents out of each dollar these
- 13:07Speaker 4: days has the same buying power as in nineteen sixty. Okay,
- 13:14Speaker 4: be harsh on it. It's still crippling. It's still crippling.
- 13:23Speaker 4: So would you do we claw back money that we
- 13:28Speaker 4: can't spend? We do the tough things that Richard Nixon's
- 13:32Speaker 4: administration was not politically adept enough to do, even though,
- 13:37Speaker 4: to be fair, they were facing an all Democrat House
- 13:40Speaker 4: and Senate, so there was not so much they could do.
- 13:46Speaker 4: You don't think that Democrats in the House and Senate
- 13:49Speaker 4: in nineteen seventy two were going to cut back on
- 13:52Speaker 4: the Great Society at that point, even though it was
- 13:55Speaker 4: clearly bankrupting the country. No, they all just said, hey,
- 13:59Speaker 4: you know you could get us off the gold standard.
- 14:01Speaker 8: You know a lot of times you have to choose
- 14:03Speaker 8: between something high quality or something that saves you money.
- 14:07Speaker 8: But what if you could get both? Why not, especially
- 14:10Speaker 8: when it comes to healthcare, and that is meta share.
- 14:13Speaker 8: You get both. Many families save five hundred bucks a
- 14:16Speaker 8: month with meta share and that's huge. But it's also
- 14:19Speaker 8: true that people wind up way more satisfied too, and
- 14:21Speaker 8: we know this from research of members. There's a lot
- 14:24Speaker 8: they like about medshare, but especially they love being part
- 14:28Speaker 8: of something they believe in. And Medashare works too. It
- 14:31Speaker 8: has for more than thirty years. There are hundreds of
- 14:34Speaker 8: thousands of members who love having telehealth if they need it.
- 14:38Speaker 8: They love the huge PPO network. You can save a
- 14:40Speaker 8: ton and like it better. Imagine being happy with how
- 14:44Speaker 8: you're taking care of your health care.
- 14:45Speaker 4: So if you're self.
- 14:46Speaker 8: Employed, or you're part of the gig economy, or you
- 14:48Speaker 8: just want a plan you're happy with, you can call
- 14:51Speaker 8: right now and get a price in two minutes. Here's
- 14:53Speaker 8: the number.
- 14:53Speaker 2: Call eight five.
- 14:54Speaker 8: Five share forty. That's eight five five share forty, eight
- 14:59Speaker 8: five five share forty.
- 15:02Speaker 1: So what do you think about the adult problem? And
- 15:05Speaker 1: that's a definitely here. We have too many dogs.
- 15:07Speaker 2: Cool first thing today by Joe Thomas on the TNK
- 15:11Speaker 2: Media Network.
- 15:12Speaker 3: For five percent tax one time on Elon Musk. You
- 15:16Speaker 3: could have universal childcare in America, George.
- 15:20Speaker 7: Said, steal metem.
- 15:22Speaker 2: You have a day ten dollars a day.
- 15:24Speaker 7: Least for work, when the sun comes up, tops a
- 15:27Speaker 7: kid to scoop, and he wouldn't even miss it. You
- 15:30Speaker 7: has everything a Jane do all the Joses needs. The
- 15:35Speaker 7: one that Joe's as smiled, he only as.
- 15:42Speaker 1: Joe.
- 15:43Speaker 4: This is my favorite part of it. This is the
- 15:45Speaker 4: This is the point I want to make about roll
- 15:47Speaker 4: Conna uh and uh, how everyone loves to call him
- 15:50Speaker 4: the centrist democrat.
- 15:53Speaker 3: Five percent and he wouldn't even miss it because the
- 15:55Speaker 3: market would grow by fifteen percent and his wealth would
- 15:58Speaker 3: still grow.
- 16:00Speaker 4: You're well, his wealth would as if that's any of
- 16:03Speaker 4: your concern, You tax the things you need. It's just
- 16:08Speaker 4: it's not your money, it's theirs. For every one dollar
- 16:17Speaker 4: of exemptions given to This is the story I was
- 16:20Speaker 4: looking for. And by the way, Duane Yancy I miss
- 16:22Speaker 4: I dead named him. He doesn't write for the Virginia Mercury.
- 16:25Speaker 4: He writes for the Cardinal News. Duyne Yancey is their
- 16:29Speaker 4: politics editor, And like I said in a conversation with
- 16:33Speaker 4: Tom Garrett, me and duyne Yancey, Dune's not going to
- 16:37Speaker 4: agree with a damn thing I said. But he's got
- 16:40Speaker 4: the goods here from the Jaylark Report, where for every
- 16:43Speaker 4: dollar in tax breaks to the and understand, this is
- 16:47Speaker 4: a sales tax break, sales tax on the purchase of
- 16:51Speaker 4: computer equipment from in many cases local businesses created according
- 16:56Speaker 4: to the Joint Legislative Audit Review Committee, six dollars and
- 17:02Speaker 4: ten cents of income for people. Now, if you're going
- 17:05Speaker 4: to do a tax break and you can tie it
- 17:07Speaker 4: to six dollars five dollars more per person in their
- 17:15Speaker 4: pockets for the dollar you didn't take out of it,
- 17:18Speaker 4: I'm all for that. And it's proof then again that
- 17:22Speaker 4: taxing something means you get less of it. That's a
- 17:27Speaker 4: Franklin Agenda item. If you want less of something, tax it.
- 17:35Speaker 4: So when every time somebody talks about eliminating some tax
- 17:38Speaker 4: break for somebody, understand there's a bigger impact. So you
- 17:42Speaker 4: give tax breaks to somebody to encourage them to do
- 17:45Speaker 4: more of something. Huh, shouldn't the implication from that be,
- 17:50Speaker 4: if we tax something, we're going to get less of it,
- 17:57Speaker 4: which is exactly what happened in Colorado. By the way,
- 17:59Speaker 4: since we brought it up in the last segment on
- 18:01Speaker 4: we
