Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: What do you think about the dope problem?
- 0:03Speaker 2: Yeah, I said, definitely have here. We have too many dopes.
- 0:07Speaker 3: Here's the thing today by Joe Thomas on the Chunk
- 0:10Speaker 3: Media Network, All natural and free of artificial intelligence.
- 0:15Speaker 4: Jewart said, steal me have a day at least for work.
- 0:20Speaker 2: When the sun comes up, drops at disco.
- 0:25Speaker 5: Joe has everything a jam.
- 0:26Speaker 2: Do all the Joses out of needs. No one that
- 0:31Speaker 2: Joe's a smile. He only eggs.
- 0:36Speaker 6: Let them be Joe, thank you for letting me be
- 0:40Speaker 6: of service to you.
- 0:43Speaker 7: You know.
- 0:43Speaker 6: One of the things I find fascinating is we sit
- 0:46Speaker 6: here and we chop up yesterday's events, the ones that
- 0:50Speaker 6: happened after you settled in for dinner and some time
- 0:53Speaker 6: with the family. I hope you got some time with it,
- 0:55Speaker 6: or you started your late shift and.
- 0:58Speaker 8: You want to know what's going on.
- 0:59Speaker 6: We chop it up into easily digestible gummies each morning.
- 1:04Speaker 6: One of the things I find interesting is that narrative. Really,
- 1:10Speaker 6: one of the things I spend ninety nine percent of
- 1:12Speaker 6: my time fighting against is this narrative creation. We'll tell
- 1:20Speaker 6: you that if a Democrat wins by half of a
- 1:23Speaker 6: percentage point, it's a mandate. If a Republican leads by
- 1:30Speaker 6: a point or two, they're in peril of losing everything.
- 1:34Speaker 6: And they can spend these polls and these election results
- 1:38Speaker 6: to mean so many things, and they can spend ten
- 1:42Speaker 6: times as much money as a Republican to eke out
- 1:45Speaker 6: a half a percentage point victory and call it a
- 1:47Speaker 6: mandate and legislate wildly to the left. I mean, there
- 1:53Speaker 6: was a meme going around the internet yesterday that said,
- 1:59Speaker 6: now You'reians love America more than Democrats do.
- 2:04Speaker 8: Is that true? Is that true? Is that your experience
- 2:06Speaker 8: that from And.
- 2:08Speaker 6: By the way, as a subtext, this is also why
- 2:12Speaker 6: you see very little live footage from the streets of Tehran.
- 2:16Speaker 6: There's a big story, AP story, associated press. No, no,
- 2:21Speaker 6: I think it's associated publicity these days, publicity for the
- 2:26Speaker 6: Islamist Marxists. But it's a picture of a street in
- 2:31Speaker 6: Tehran looks like a big boulevard in any city in America,
- 2:35Speaker 6: you know, Queens, whatever. And there's a giant billboard a
- 2:39Speaker 6: tribute to the late Ayatola may he rest in pieces,
- 2:44Speaker 6: and there he was on this big billboard. And there
- 2:47Speaker 6: isn't a soul on the street. Isn't a soul on
- 2:52Speaker 6: the street, and this is what they're showing you out
- 2:56Speaker 6: of Iran. This is what it looks like where you know,
- 3:01Speaker 6: the streets, where there are protests and there are activities.
- 3:06Speaker 6: They are they are celebrating. They're celebrating the at very
- 3:11Speaker 6: least the comeuppance of a regime that killed their grandson
- 3:16Speaker 6: or their daughter. Is they shot up crowds of protesters
- 3:21Speaker 6: simply looking for the very basic human rights. We'll get
- 3:26Speaker 6: to you on the phones in just a moment or two.
- 3:29Speaker 6: We've got to lay out our first thing, So please
- 3:32Speaker 6: hang on the line with us if you're hanging in
- 3:34Speaker 6: at four three four eight A two four to.
- 3:37Speaker 8: Two one seven.
- 3:39Speaker 6: Iran launched a new wave of attacks this morning at
- 3:42Speaker 6: Israeli an American basis, and threatened that the United States
- 3:45Speaker 6: would quote bitterly regret torpedi torpedoing. The Arena is the
- 3:51Speaker 6: apparently the flagship of the Iranian Navy in the Indian Ocean.
- 3:56Speaker 6: Sri Lanka has been fishing dead Iranian sailors out of
- 4:01Speaker 6: the drink since the ship went down. One of the
- 4:05Speaker 6: clerics tasked with finding the new Ayatola, said that President
- 4:11Speaker 6: Trump's blood will be spilled over the attack. NATO Secretary
- 4:16Speaker 6: Mark Root said on Newsmax yesterday that there is widespread
- 4:21Speaker 6: support among NATO members for the Trump campaign targeting erens,
- 4:28Speaker 6: nuclear and missile capabilities. NATO is not involved, however, Roots said,
- 4:35Speaker 6: but obviously allies are basically on a massive scale, qualifying, qualifying, qualifying,
- 4:42Speaker 6: supportive of what the President is doing. Meanwhile, President Trump
- 4:48Speaker 6: hosted technology companies at the White House as he is
- 4:52Speaker 6: urging them to sign a presidential pledge that they will
- 4:56Speaker 6: cover higher electricity prices necessary for their businesses. The President
- 5:04Speaker 6: admitting most of this story about data centers and higher
- 5:08Speaker 6: electric cross costs are public relations problems, not actual electrical
- 5:13Speaker 6: generation problems. They need some pr help because people think
- 5:17Speaker 6: that if data centers go in there, electricity prices are
- 5:20Speaker 6: going to go up. What the President left out is
- 5:24Speaker 6: most of the reason electric prices are going up when
- 5:26Speaker 6: data centers are built are the clean energy acts of
- 5:30Speaker 6: the Biden administration. Surprisingly to many missing the opportunity to
- 5:35Speaker 6: bash President Biden for his ecological plans. Mike Johnson says
- 5:41Speaker 6: he has not heard yet about a funding level of
- 5:43Speaker 6: fifty billion dollars for emergency money to support the war
- 5:47Speaker 6: in Iran, but he said, lawmakers will pass a supplemental
- 5:51Speaker 6: when it's appropriate, and we will get it right, he said.
- 5:54Speaker 6: He also said there will be a test vote today
- 5:57Speaker 6: on whether they refund and reopen the Department of Homeland
- 6:01Speaker 6: Security again, an agency that might be important as we
- 6:05Speaker 6: have dropped bombs on a terror state that funds these
- 6:09Speaker 6: sorts of organizations across the world, and those are our
- 6:13Speaker 6: first things on this Thursday morning here all along the
- 6:16Speaker 6: Tonk Media Network coming up in a little while, President
- 6:20Speaker 6: and CEO of Freedom Fest Valerie Durham is going to
- 6:23Speaker 6: join us, but she did tell us in advance that

- 12:56Speaker 2: It's on on.
- 13:12Speaker 3: A need to know basis, because you need to know
- 13:16Speaker 3: the first thing today.
- 13:23Speaker 6: Text message Joe, how is what we're living under? Not capitalism?
- 13:29Speaker 6: It's all driven by the almighty dollar? Isn't that capitalism?
- 13:34Speaker 8: See? This is what I mean about narrative.
- 13:36Speaker 6: So as I said, if the TV news, if David
- 13:41Speaker 6: Muir and whoever else is doing news these days, Rachel
- 13:46Speaker 6: Maddow and all these folks who sit by Chris Hayes,
- 13:50Speaker 6: they all sit behind a desk and for three years
- 13:52Speaker 6: tell you the Big Mac is a health food that
- 13:56Speaker 6: there's a new diet place called the Big Mac Diet,
- 13:59Speaker 6: and they've discovered that the Big Mac is the healthiest
- 14:02Speaker 6: thing you can eat. A percentage of your friends are
- 14:07Speaker 6: going to think the Big Mac is a.
- 14:08Speaker 8: Health food diet. It's just the way it is.
- 14:11Speaker 6: So let me, I will I will debunk some of
- 14:14Speaker 6: that for you in a little bit. But our friends,
- 14:16Speaker 6: James and his family business at jcsgold dot com, I
- 14:21Speaker 6: want to stop buy and tell us how gold and
- 14:23Speaker 6: silver are because I'm curious.
- 14:25Speaker 8: I am gold curious. James, how are you doing this morning?
- 14:29Speaker 7: I'm doing well, Joe, and gold and silver and in
- 14:31Speaker 7: the green again in today, which is great to see.
- 14:34Speaker 7: Gold is up about half a percent to sixty four
- 14:38Speaker 7: dollars and silver is up just about one percent, a
- 14:41Speaker 7: little bit over one percent at eighty four dollars and
- 14:43Speaker 7: forty five cents.
- 14:45Speaker 6: Kind of at that comfort zone that they were at.
- 14:47Speaker 6: They spiked a little bit after the bombing started in Tehran,
- 14:50Speaker 6: but they've come to settle back where we were talking
- 14:53Speaker 6: about it last week, kind of being this this comfortable
- 14:57Speaker 6: you know man cave that they live in.
- 15:00Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly, you know. They they did spike, They had
- 15:04Speaker 7: some volatility they they had a spike there and then
- 15:07Speaker 7: a drop two days ago, but they've kind of settled
- 15:10Speaker 7: down and really are comfortable at this level. So it'll
- 15:13Speaker 7: be interesting to see where we go from here. But
- 15:15Speaker 7: remember the whole case is is that we're not gold
- 15:18Speaker 7: or silver traders. You were investors. We're long term investors.
- 15:23Speaker 7: Were gold and silver stackers. I was talking with a
- 15:26Speaker 7: client the other day going over that that gold chart
- 15:30Speaker 7: on our on our website where I could zoom out
- 15:33Speaker 7: to ten years ago and and you know max length
- 15:36Speaker 7: of time, and you can see just the rise, steady
- 15:39Speaker 7: rise of gold over time. And we were analyzing the
- 15:42Speaker 7: price and about you know, if you had bought gold
- 15:45Speaker 7: and you know once a month or once a year,
- 15:48Speaker 7: whatever worked, you know for your budget, just where you
- 15:51Speaker 7: would be cost averaging in over time and and enjoying
- 15:55Speaker 7: that that increase in price. So that's always something to
- 15:57Speaker 7: take a look at. And it's really a thesis for
- 16:01Speaker 7: buying gold and silver is just buying it consistently over
- 16:04Speaker 7: time to build a portfolio.
- 16:06Speaker 6: I so well said, and this is one of the
- 16:08Speaker 6: things I point out you you just did a master's class,
- 16:11Speaker 6: and why we talk about your family business not a
- 16:14Speaker 6: call center not working on you know, some call sheet
- 16:17Speaker 6: that you have to, you know, make a number of
- 16:19Speaker 6: calls and make a number of commissions and that kind
- 16:22Speaker 6: of thing. You're just there to serve. And that's one
- 16:24Speaker 6: of the things I love the most about you guys.
- 16:26Speaker 6: At jcsgold dot com. You can call them find out
- 16:29Speaker 6: for yourself. Four three four nine seven nine coin. That's
- 16:34Speaker 6: two six four six after ten Eastern It's about to
- 16:37Speaker 6: become Eastern daylight time coming up this weekend, James, and
- 16:40Speaker 6: my wife.
- 16:41Speaker 8: Is very happy about that.
- 16:43Speaker 6: So celebrate with some gold and silver shiny as the
- 16:48Speaker 6: sun will be shining later in the day, very soon.
- 16:51Speaker 8: But I don't know.
- 16:53Speaker 6: I'm just a you know, sell lines, slogan earings, slogans,
- 16:56Speaker 6: half right slogans. Get your slogans here, Bet you have
- 16:59Speaker 6: a great morning, sir.
- 17:01Speaker 8: Thanks sharing you too.
- 17:03Speaker 6: Four three four eight eight two four two one seven
- 17:06Speaker 6: used and slightly irregular slogans here half price.
- 17:10Speaker 8: But Andy is on the line.
- 17:12Speaker 6: I want to I want to jump before we get
- 17:14Speaker 6: with you, Andy, because I know you're one of those
- 17:16Speaker 6: you know I love miss to pieces members and free markets.
- 17:20Speaker 6: I got a text challenging me on the idea that
- 17:24Speaker 6: you know, we're not a capitalist country right now, but
- 17:27Speaker 6: you know, capitalism is the only way for human freedom
- 17:32Speaker 6: to exist because it puts the decision making in your hands.
- 17:38Speaker 6: If I'm a radio show host and I think I'm
- 17:42Speaker 6: of value to listeners, and I find a way to
- 17:46Speaker 6: sponsor that, that's all my decision. If I go to
- 17:50Speaker 6: a company like JCS Gold and say here's what it
- 17:53Speaker 6: costs to support what I do on the radio, and
- 17:56Speaker 6: I'll in turn send some of my lists news to
- 18:00Speaker 6: buy gold from you, that's how commerce works.
- 18:03Speaker 8: It's the purest form.
- 18:06Speaker 6: There's no price fixing, there's no determination on I have
- 18:12Speaker 6: to get this because the government says so, or you
- 18:14Speaker 6: have to spend this because the government says so. It
- 18:18Speaker 6: is all pure determinative between and a different one. A
- 18:23Speaker 6: different guy might charge differently for different reasons. For that,
- 18:27Speaker 6: the abstract of free market capitalism is the ultimate source
- 18:33Speaker 6: of freedom and the full hearty people who believe that
- 18:37Speaker 6: Marxism isn't capitalism is a lie. It's just that you're
- 18:41Speaker 6: taken out of the capital movement equation. Communist countries are
- 18:45Speaker 6: still capital moving countries. It's just the citizens have been
- 18:49Speaker 6: taken out of the capital decision. Is that a reasonable
- 18:53Speaker 6: statement or am I just off my horse this morning?
- 18:57Speaker 2: Now?
- 18:57Speaker 17: It's you're The problem is that I think probably in
- 19:02Speaker 17: sixteen oh seven of the King of England gave to
- 19:07Speaker 17: Lord Baltimore the all the lens to.
- 19:10Speaker 8: The west right.
- 19:11Speaker 17: And that's that's how the line or the first line
- 19:14Speaker 17: in Patrick Newman's book called Croney cronyism. And it's interesting
- 19:22Speaker 17: that the Mesis Institute is now like publishing things. You
- 19:27Speaker 17: know that Murray Rothbard wrote about, you know, Ludvig von
- 19:32Speaker 17: Mesus' work, and thankfully it still worked. And you've got
- 19:37Speaker 17: to realize that constitutional money still exists. You can start
- 19:41Speaker 17: with a gift of nineteen thousand dollars to create your
- 19:45Speaker 17: own little mini commerce and converted into a coin like
- 19:50Speaker 17: at at JCS gold Is. You know, those those are
- 19:54Speaker 17: really really great people. They're not around the corner from
- 19:58Speaker 17: me anymore. I'm actually le for Virginia Charlotte's or Virginia.
- 20:03Speaker 8: But they are on the internet. They're they're on the
- 20:06Speaker 8: internet for you. But here's oh for sure.
- 20:09Speaker 17: In fact, you know James's uh bother actually was my
- 20:14Speaker 17: son's tennis coach.
- 20:16Speaker 6: Oh cool connections everywhere, But the point about you know, yeah,
- 20:20Speaker 6: the thing you're talking about in capital moving versus cronyism,
- 20:25Speaker 6: you know, the you.
- 20:27Speaker 8: Know, favors are also capital.
- 20:30Speaker 6: I mean if if I say, hey, I'm going to
- 20:33Speaker 6: do a bunch of ads for your fundraising dance, and
- 20:37Speaker 6: I do it for free, it's not for free. It's
- 20:39Speaker 6: it costs me the same as it would cost to
- 20:41Speaker 6: do a commercial for a visit. But I'm contributing the
- 20:45Speaker 6: capital that that that that is worth that worth.
- 20:49Speaker 8: That uh, that that benefit.
- 20:52Speaker 6: It's just like if I give food to a food bank,
- 20:55Speaker 6: It's not like the food was free.
- 20:57Speaker 8: I've picked up the cost for someone else. Uh.
- 21:00Speaker 6: And and if we understand that, we will be a
- 21:02Speaker 6: happier place because we understand that self determination.
- 21:07Speaker 8: How how our capital moves.
- 21:11Speaker 17: Is I actually I paid for a couple of T
- 21:15Speaker 17: shirts and a brick. One one was free. Is the
- 21:19Speaker 17: worst price. That's one of my favorite lives.
- 21:22Speaker 8: Well, this is no free. There is no free.
- 21:26Speaker 17: There's you can buy the T shirts in the gift
- 21:30Speaker 17: shop at the Visa's Institute in Auburn, Alabama, although it
- 21:34Speaker 17: doesn't have anything to do with the the the named

- 23:10Speaker 5: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, suv, or light truck,
- 23:14Speaker 5: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
- 23:17Speaker 5: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
- 23:20Speaker 5: That's what you should use. But there are exceptions to
- 23:23Speaker 5: the rule. Many high end or luxury vehicles call for
- 23:26Speaker 5: premium or higher octane fuel, and the reason for this
- 23:29Speaker 5: is not just due to the octane rating. There are
- 23:31Speaker 5: better fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know too,
- 23:35Speaker 5: the vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
- 23:38Speaker 5: with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
- 23:41Speaker 5: their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
- 23:44Speaker 5: your fuel choices around say every third tank full, you
- 23:47Speaker 5: may find better performance and miles per gallon because you
- 23:50Speaker 5: are cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive.

- 28:21Speaker 3: Thomas on the Talk Media.
- 28:23Speaker 6: Edward Hi, capitalism and you know, and I guess at
- 28:46Speaker 6: the root of all these things that are mistold to us,
- 28:50Speaker 6: you know, we're mistold what capitalism is because the people,
- 28:54Speaker 6: the Marxists want to be the ones that control the capital.
- 28:58Speaker 6: And we were talking with Andy about it. A great
- 29:00Speaker 6: story about how the Rothschild's, you know, one of those
- 29:05Speaker 6: build a Bear group families you've got, you know, the Epstein's,
- 29:08Speaker 6: the roth Child's, all these folks, the World Economic Forum
- 29:12Speaker 6: types lost to an internet gaming site. And I'll explain
- 29:17Speaker 6: that to you coming up. But Andy, you were saying.
- 29:20Speaker 17: There's a nonprofit that I'm just you know, I'm an
- 29:23Speaker 17: advisor and their their energy costs have gone up and
- 29:30Speaker 17: making it look like their irresponsible and they didn't have
- 29:33Speaker 17: anything to do with it.
- 29:34Speaker 6: Well, and that's the thing, you know, this is this
- 29:36Speaker 6: is the interesting thing. President Trump just yesterday with all
- 29:39Speaker 6: those data center operators in the Oval Office, you know,
- 29:44Speaker 6: signing a proclamation that they won't raise the cost of electricity.
- 29:48Speaker 6: They're not the ones raising the electricity costs. If if
- 29:53Speaker 6: you know an electric company, pick your electric company charges
- 29:57Speaker 6: a certain dollar amount per kilowan hour, and a data
- 30:00Speaker 6: center uses gobs and gobs of killowat hours, they're going
- 30:04Speaker 6: to pay for it. If your politicians cut them a deal.
- 30:08Speaker 6: That's not the that's not the data center's fault. That's
- 30:11Speaker 6: your politician's fault. If your politicians artificially restrict the amount
- 30:16Speaker 6: of electricity that can be generated, like Joe Biden did,
- 30:20Speaker 6: like Terry mcauloff and Ralph Northam did here in Virginia, like.
- 30:24Speaker 8: Hick and Looper. Did you know these folks.
- 30:26Speaker 6: And and and Gavin Newsom did, these folks who have
- 30:30Speaker 6: artificially restricted how much electricity can be generated. That's caused
- 30:36Speaker 6: rates to go up. It has nothing to do with
- 30:38Speaker 6: the existence of data centers. If you're just playing in
- 30:42Speaker 6: the world of here's what a killowat hour costs, the
- 30:46Speaker 6: data center is going to pay way more than you
- 30:48Speaker 6: are and it shouldn't impact you at all.
- 30:51Speaker 17: And having a combination of you know, inputs, whether it
- 30:56Speaker 17: be nuclear power like we had in Virginia probably post
- 31:01Speaker 17: the well, you know, when they had that that first
- 31:03Speaker 17: little uh uh, the what's the name of the little
- 31:07Speaker 17: cabal in the Middle East there, Ok, yeah, that's them.
- 31:12Speaker 10: No.
- 31:15Speaker 17: I was in college at the time when most of
- 31:18Speaker 17: that stuff was happening, and I ended up my father
- 31:20Speaker 17: hadn't paid my bills, so I had to like go
- 31:22Speaker 17: out and I took a construction job, building tower power
- 31:26Speaker 17: line towers. You know, the next time you're passing the
- 31:29Speaker 17: Hampton Road Coliseum, and a look off to your right
- 31:33Speaker 17: and you can see a place where I fell into
- 31:35Speaker 17: the swamp.
- 31:36Speaker 8: In the middle of the Midier.
- 31:37Speaker 6: Oh dear, that couldn't have been a fun way to
- 31:39Speaker 6: earn a living. But it's a way to earn a living.
- 31:41Speaker 6: It's a value that you created for someone, uh, you know,
- 31:45Speaker 6: by your efforts. And and that's the thing about you know,
- 31:48Speaker 6: if you choose to do it. And here's the other
- 31:51Speaker 6: side of it. And one of this is where crony
- 31:52Speaker 6: capitalism kills it is is the employee loses choice. So
- 31:57Speaker 6: if there's only somebody, pick somebody. Let's say you're a
- 32:01Speaker 6: really good clothing sales person, You're a great habitasher, and
- 32:07Speaker 6: that's what you're good at. You're good at making people
- 32:09Speaker 6: look good, feel good, and you want to do that
- 32:12Speaker 6: for somebody and there's only one or two stores where
- 32:15Speaker 6: you could do that. Then you're limited on how much
- 32:18Speaker 6: you can make because it's it's based on how good
- 32:22Speaker 6: you are, how much value you bring to your employer,
- 32:25Speaker 6: and how much you know you know that that you
- 32:28Speaker 6: need to survive. These these companies put the cart behind
- 32:32Speaker 6: the horse, and it's like the conversation I had about
- 32:35Speaker 6: top Golf. They overpriced their market thinking that you know,
- 32:40Speaker 6: big corporations were going to be paying paying the bills
- 32:44Speaker 6: travel air travel is much in the same way, uh,
- 32:47Speaker 6: expecting uh these businesses to pay expense account travel vouchers
- 32:53Speaker 6: instead of what you know, a regular person can pay
- 32:56Speaker 6: for airfare, and so the prices get inflated because because
- 33:00Speaker 6: the consumer isn't paying the bill anymore, just like in Obamacare.
- 33:07Speaker 17: A hilarious sum step on my I think it was
- 33:10Speaker 17: four years ago on my birthday. Hank local mercenary who
- 33:16Speaker 17: disappeared into the olive oil olive arks. I don't know
- 33:21Speaker 17: if you heard about like the people being like taken out.
- 33:24Speaker 17: He thought he was going to go into behind Russian
- 33:27Speaker 17: lines and take out a putin, and you know, he
- 33:33Speaker 17: came back and he was kind of harrified. He was
- 33:36Speaker 17: showing me all the equipment ahead of time that they
- 33:38Speaker 17: were going to have behind enemy lines. And that's what
- 33:41Speaker 17: our government does with these these nefarious positions that they have,
- 33:46Speaker 17: you know. And so I actually shot a four hundred
- 33:51Speaker 17: for eighteen holts, and I had golf shoes and that
- 33:57Speaker 17: was probably the only thing that I had.
- 34:00Speaker 8: I used one of those you're you're pretty good at golf.
- 34:04Speaker 6: I mean, I'm lucky if I shoot one under in
- 34:06Speaker 6: the first hole and then it's Johnny bar the door.
- 34:09Speaker 17: That horrible car crash prevents me from a regular golf.
- 34:14Speaker 17: But it was fascinating, same as true for Tiger Woods.
- 34:19Speaker 8: And yea, I must run though, my friend. Good catching up?
- 34:22Speaker 8: All right, keep keep it up.
- 34:25Speaker 17: I'll text you something about you know that Texas or
- 34:28Speaker 17: not Texas, but that Tennessee stop.
- 34:31Speaker 8: Okay, yeah, oh yeah yeah.
- 34:32Speaker 6: Our Chattanooga broadcast absolutely, thank you, sir. Uh you know
- 34:36Speaker 6: we're gonna be live in Chattanooga on the twenty I
- 34:40Speaker 6: think it's the twenty third midpoint in a drive to Dallas.
- 34:43Speaker 6: Why because it's actually a more efficient use of my
- 34:46Speaker 6: time than flying.
- 34:48Speaker 8: And that's true.
- 34:50Speaker 6: You can question me on that, but it's partially because
- 34:53Speaker 6: my wife likes to drive, and then I can sit
- 34:56Speaker 6: in the passenger seat playing uh, you know, on my
- 34:59Speaker 6: computer and doing work for you. So we can do
- 35:02Speaker 6: this for you quick follow up and a finish up,
- 35:05Speaker 6: a story foresold a little bit. So the rothchilds if you,
- 35:10Speaker 6: if you believe in these money changers out there, the
- 35:15Speaker 6: name Rothchild is one of those names. Lee Rothchild and
- 35:24Speaker 6: owns a company called Rothschild Broadcast Distribution Systems. And you
- 35:30Speaker 6: think George Soros owning Odyssey is.
- 35:32Speaker 8: Probably all right.
- 35:33Speaker 6: So so Rothchild Broadcast Distribution Systems LLC and Display Technology
- 35:39Speaker 6: were in court against a little company out of.
- 35:42Speaker 8: Seattle called Valve.
- 35:45Speaker 6: Valve is a company that created an online sales platform
- 35:52Speaker 6: that they call Steam. If you play computer video games,
- 35:56Speaker 6: I don't.
- 35:57Speaker 8: I used to.
- 35:58Speaker 6: I used to my nast car racing simulators and stuff
- 36:01Speaker 6: like that. I just don't have time for it anymore.
- 36:04Speaker 6: I have a little free sell on my phone if
- 36:07Speaker 6: I have five free minutes.
- 36:10Speaker 8: But I used to.
- 36:11Speaker 6: You know, you either went into game Stop and purchased
- 36:15Speaker 6: the DVD download or you could download this stuff through
- 36:18Speaker 6: this Steam platform. So Rothchild was suing this little company
- 36:22Speaker 6: out of Seattle, saying that they were a monopoly, which
- 36:31Speaker 6: is funny coming from a rothschild. But the Valve Corporation
- 36:35Speaker 6: won its suit because they aren't a monopoly. They in
- 36:46Speaker 6: their testimony in court was simply, we're not stopping anyone
- 36:50Speaker 6: else from trying to sell your video games and things
- 36:54Speaker 6: like that. Game developers again go back to capitalism. Game
- 36:58Speaker 6: developer guys, it's in his basement coming up with a
- 37:01Speaker 6: you know, some personal POV game. You know it's a
- 37:05Speaker 6: mail delivery simulator or whatever. You know the new game
- 37:08Speaker 6: is these days, and they want to sell it.
- 37:13Speaker 8: Well, who do you sell it through?
- 37:15Speaker 6: The Google play Store, Apple, the Apple Store? That's a monopoly.
- 37:22Speaker 6: Steam comes along says you can sell it with anyone
- 37:24Speaker 6: you want, you can sell it on us. And they're
- 37:27Speaker 6: so wildly popular they appear to be a monopoly because
- 37:31Speaker 6: nobody else can do what they do. Nobody else does
- 37:34Speaker 6: it as much or as well as they do. Everyone
- 37:36Speaker 6: who's in gaming knows Steam as a platform to get games.
- 37:42Speaker 6: But it's not a monopoly because they aren't actively trying
- 37:45Speaker 6: to stop anyone from do it. They just do it
- 37:47Speaker 6: better than everyone else, and nobody else has figured out
- 37:50Speaker 6: how to do it yet, and plus they don't want
- 37:52Speaker 6: to compete against Apple and the Google Play Store, but
- 37:56Speaker 6: they beat the Rothschilds in court over this.
- 38:01Speaker 21: Can you believe with all the recent violent protests, looting,
- 38:05Speaker 21: and destruction, some areas are considering either defunding or abolishing
- 38:09Speaker 21: the police. At a time when America's neighborhoods need the
- 38:13Speaker 21: protection of police the most, some elected officials would rather
- 38:17Speaker 21: create more chaos by playing politics. If you're sick of
- 38:20Speaker 21: elected officials caving in to demands of the radical left,
- 38:24Speaker 21: you're not alone. It's time we stand up and declare

- 39:08Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 39:13Speaker 9: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 39:19Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 39:23Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 39:27Speaker 9: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 39:32Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 39:37Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 39:42Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 39:46Speaker 9: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 39:51Speaker 9: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

- 40:59Speaker 24: Hi, everybody, Jack Hannah and It's always a boy. Growing
- 41:01Speaker 24: up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 41:05Speaker 24: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
- 41:07Speaker 24: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 41:09Speaker 24: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 41:13Speaker 24: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 41:15Speaker 24: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 41:18Speaker 24: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 41:21Speaker 24: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 41:23Speaker 24: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 41:26Speaker 24: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 41:30Speaker 24: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 41:33Speaker 24: perform life saving work every day.
- 41:35Speaker 2: Dogs keep us.
- 41:35Speaker 24: Safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom
- 41:38Speaker 24: suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when
- 41:41Speaker 24: there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have
- 41:44Speaker 24: a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society
- 41:47Speaker 24: and help those in need. So please join me an
- 41:49Speaker 24: American Humane and supporting our heroic working dogs and all
- 41:52Speaker 24: the amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go

- 44:24Speaker 8: The line I butchered yesterday. I was looking at some
- 44:28Speaker 8: of the press.
- 44:30Speaker 6: Alex Liveson and Geddy Lee are going back out on
- 44:33Speaker 6: tour and the girl that they I've watched this girl
- 44:38Speaker 6: play drums. I mean she is a savant, I swear
- 44:42Speaker 6: to goodness, and I don't mean to sound like that curumudgeon.
- 44:45Speaker 6: But she's like fifteen years old.
- 44:47Speaker 8: I think.
- 44:47Speaker 6: I don't think she was alive before Neil Pert passed away.
- 44:52Speaker 6: I just don't know, but she she can bang it.
- 44:56Speaker 8: She is a heck of a drummer.
- 44:58Speaker 6: Because I heard Rush was going out on tour, Like, okay,
- 45:01Speaker 6: that's kind of like saying led Zeppelin's going out on tour.
- 45:05Speaker 6: Who gave it a shot for a while, but you know,
- 45:08Speaker 6: you lose your drummer. It's just it's I don't know,
- 45:12Speaker 6: you'll see. I'm sure the tickets are going to be expensive,
- 45:15Speaker 6: so probably out of my price range, you know, glittering
- 45:18Speaker 6: prices and endless compromises. Hey, I want to read this
- 45:21Speaker 6: before we finish our time in Colorado. Springs. Billy texted
- 45:29Speaker 6: me yesterday. He said, I've been watching the fraud hearings
- 45:32Speaker 6: today and the Democrats aren't asking any questions about fraud
- 45:36Speaker 6: in Minnesota. It's just I bashed the Trump administration session
- 45:40Speaker 6: for Democrats. I'm watching a bunch of children, pretty sad,
- 45:45Speaker 6: you know, Billy, you know, And when I read the
- 45:47Speaker 6: text yesterday afternoon, my heart went out to you. This
- 45:50Speaker 6: is one of the problems with these hearings. It's it
- 45:55Speaker 6: devolves into whatever the parliamentary procedures are, three or five minutes,
- 46:00Speaker 6: and it's it's it's just a campaign speech. It's just
- 46:04Speaker 6: some video so a congressman can clip the video and
- 46:08Speaker 6: put it into their next re election ad. And it's
- 46:11Speaker 6: not even an ad you're going to see unless you
- 46:14Speaker 6: get on Facebook and it pops up in your ad.
- 46:18Speaker 6: These aren't These aren't substantive hearings trying to get to
- 46:21Speaker 6: the bottom of a problem. This is just a vote
- 46:24Speaker 6: for me. I'm the guy who's going to hold the
- 46:27Speaker 6: Trump administration accountable, not so much the Biden administration. See
- 46:32Speaker 6: my esteemed Senator Tim Kaine saying I hold all these
- 46:36Speaker 6: presidents accountable. I don't remember him holding Biden administration accountable once.
- 46:42Speaker 6: I don't remember any war Powers resolutions being asked for
- 46:46Speaker 6: in between twenty twenty one and twenty twenty five. But
- 46:50Speaker 6: and I've looked, can't find them. Oh, well, she didn't
- 46:54Speaker 6: start any new ones. Okay, Well you could have asked
- 46:57Speaker 6: them to stop some of the old ones or do
- 46:59Speaker 6: a better job of getting out of places like well,
- 47:01Speaker 6: I don't know, Afghanistan. Where was your investigation into that?
- 47:05Speaker 8: I don't know. But these are the questions that keep
- 47:08Speaker 8: me up at night. That and Asian food.
- 47:10Speaker 6: I'm told I have to call it not Chinese food
- 47:13Speaker 6: because oh darn it, I did it again.
- 47:17Speaker 8: If Clark's on the phone with us, save me, Clark,
- 47:20Speaker 8: save us. What's going on where you are in Alabama?
- 47:25Speaker 15: What's going on? Ryan? Well, there's a near full moon
- 47:28Speaker 15: going down. The sun's thinking about coming up, so begins
- 47:32Speaker 15: another day on Lofts Highway.
- 47:34Speaker 7: Joe.
- 47:35Speaker 6: It's a good reminder, by the way, because last time
- 47:38Speaker 6: I checked, aside from that massive polar shift a few
- 47:41Speaker 6: thousand years ago, sun pretty much comes up in the
- 47:44Speaker 6: same spot every day, regardless of what goes on politically.
- 47:49Speaker 15: You know.
- 47:50Speaker 27: You said that a.
- 47:51Speaker 15: Few months ago, and I've been tracking it, Joe. I
- 47:53Speaker 15: can't tell you exactly how many degrees from solstice to equinox,
- 47:58Speaker 15: but I'm working on it. It's about one and a
- 48:02Speaker 15: half hands. If you'll stick your hands straight out, the
- 48:07Speaker 15: width of your hand, plus another half at my latitude
- 48:15Speaker 15: between equinox and solstices.
- 48:18Speaker 8: So far I get it all down. I'll let you know.
- 48:21Speaker 6: Okay, very good, very good. I like that because when
- 48:23Speaker 6: the EMP goes off, we're going to have to reinvent
- 48:26Speaker 6: all this stuff. So it's good that we have somebody
- 48:28Speaker 6: who's got expertise.
- 48:31Speaker 7: There you go.
- 48:32Speaker 15: So Joe, in their constant effort to find something to
- 48:37Speaker 15: whine about with American greatness, I heard the leftist yesterday
- 48:43Speaker 15: questioning the legitimacy of prosecuting a war by targeting leadership.
- 48:51Speaker 8: I got a question, Joe, uh huh? In human history, when.
- 48:58Speaker 15: Was the last time policies by eighteen and nineteen year
- 49:02Speaker 15: olds started a big WARO?
- 49:06Speaker 8: Well, I looked it up.
- 49:07Speaker 15: Alexander the Great was twenty when he got started.
- 49:11Speaker 8: Okay, but he was great, and that's a.
- 49:13Speaker 15: Few thousand years ago. So eighteen and nineteen year olds,
- 49:22Speaker 15: I guess, by their logic, are the ones that oughtigo
- 49:24Speaker 15: get killed and not the people that start the wars.
- 49:30Speaker 15: I can't think of a better way for this to happen. Then,
- 49:34Speaker 15: for the people whose policies that make the wars happen
- 49:37Speaker 15: to be the one that has some skin in the game. Sorry,
- 49:41Speaker 15: we lost thirty one thousand marines doing Iwo Jima, right,
- 49:49Speaker 15: and if we can figure out a way where we
- 49:53Speaker 15: target leadership and I don't know, there's been what one
- 49:57Speaker 15: hundred and something civilian casualties in this thing, which is
- 50:01Speaker 15: one hundred something more than you'd like to have.
- 50:04Speaker 8: It's too many.
- 50:05Speaker 15: But we killed a hundred thousand people fire bombing Tokyo.
- 50:12Speaker 15: Nobody ever talks about that. Look at what happened in
- 50:14Speaker 15: Dresden where two bricks were not left still mortared together.
- 50:21Speaker 8: I well, here's better.
- 50:23Speaker 18: We didn't have to be a war Jobe. But if
- 50:25Speaker 18: we're going to.
- 50:25Speaker 15: Have to do it, I think this is a better way.
- 50:28Speaker 6: Sorry, here is Here is the And now you've got
- 50:31Speaker 6: this kid, Ayatola. He you know, you want to talk
- 50:34Speaker 6: about an eighteen year old, this one that made the
- 50:36Speaker 6: video about shedding Trump's blood. He looks like he's twenty one,
- 50:40Speaker 6: twenty two, just out of Ayahtola's school. You know, their
- 50:44Speaker 6: slogan is Iahtola You So, I'm sorry that was bad,
- 50:48Speaker 6: but I just felt like we were getting deep, just
- 50:51Speaker 6: a refresher. But here's the thing about America versus Iran
- 50:56Speaker 6: so and a lot of these authoritarian Islamist regimes. As
- 51:04Speaker 6: a marine, you know this, if you're in a hot
- 51:08Speaker 6: zone and your commanding officer, I don't know, a captain,
- 51:13Speaker 6: a colonel, who would you normally be in in a
- 51:16Speaker 6: in an LZ with at at the top of your
- 51:20Speaker 6: local on the spot command sergeant.
- 51:23Speaker 15: Generally, if you're in an l there's going to be
- 51:25Speaker 15: a captain.
- 51:26Speaker 6: Okay, so so so somebody on the other side shoots
- 51:30Speaker 6: and kills the captain of your unit, what does your
- 51:33Speaker 6: unit do?
- 51:35Speaker 15: The XO takes over and if the XO is not available.
- 51:38Speaker 15: Every this is saying command. And exactly about the Marine
- 51:43Speaker 15: Corps is if there's a PFC, that's the senior guy,
- 51:47Speaker 15: he will take charge that.
- 51:49Speaker 6: But that's not just Marines, that's the American that is
- 51:52Speaker 6: American military. You know, all these other authoritarian regimes. You
- 51:57Speaker 6: take out the head the people who are conscripted and
- 52:01Speaker 6: are forced to be there, they're done. You might get
- 52:04Speaker 6: the Republican Guard or two who are going to be
- 52:07Speaker 6: But that's how these people tactically think. They think, if
- 52:12Speaker 6: we kill Donald Trump, America will collapse. And you know,
- 52:16Speaker 6: they've killed a bunch of our presidents. Over time, we're
- 52:19Speaker 6: starting to get a list that's not a great list
- 52:21Speaker 6: of people trying to kill our presidents. And guess what,
- 52:24Speaker 6: the next morning, America wakes up. Same thing we were
- 52:27Speaker 6: talking about with the sunrise. The United States is still there.
- 52:31Speaker 6: I think we sell things out when those things happen
- 52:34Speaker 6: because we go, oh my gosh, somebody killed the president.
- 52:38Speaker 6: But the government still goes on, because the government isn't
- 52:42Speaker 6: just the president that It's not like the crowned heads
- 52:45Speaker 6: of Europe. If the king dies, we go on.
- 52:51Speaker 8: You know. It's true.
- 52:52Speaker 27: Difficult times have a way of focusing us. We have
- 52:55Speaker 27: to think about what matters most when it comes to
- 52:57Speaker 27: our spending our healthcare. This is why so many people
- 53:00Speaker 27: are joining meta share right now. Metashare is a trusted
- 53:05Speaker 27: way to save up to fifty percent on your monthly
