"We're Doing the French Mistake!" (FTTxJT Mon 101926 hr2) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: This is Independence from Virginia, again, first thing today, by
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Joe works at the steel mill, he's damn near every day.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Leaves for work when the sun comes up, drops the
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: kids to school and on the way. Joe has everything
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: he dreamed of, all the treasures that he needs. No
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: wonder Joe's always smiling, he only aims.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: To please you.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: this morning. You know what we do here. I tell
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: you what went on in this case over the weekend,
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: and then I'll give you my analysis of it. Go ahead,
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: try and stop me. But I also want to know
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: how it's impacting you where you are. The singular most
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: important local aspect of the radio station is you. There
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: you are basking in the amplitude or frequency modulation. Pleased
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: to announce our flagship station's amplitude modulator is back on
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: the air after a year of working on it. She's
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: on low power right now until I finish with Brendan Carr.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: My lawyer's like, you got to hope that Brendan Carr
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: doesn't listen to your radio show, Joe. I'm not going
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: to change how I feel about the way that these
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: bureaucracies work. And we're going to get into how Brendan
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: Carr and the authoritarians that hide in and amongst even
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: the American bureaucracies could lead to our own French fried potatoes. What,
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: playing clips from Blazing Saddles is inappropriate while France is burning?
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: Don't think so. But again, your results may vary, and
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: that's why we ask you at 434-882-4217. What is the
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: French mistake? The French mistake is exactly what I was
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: just detailing to you. The idea that the government can
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: organize your life for you, that you aren't going to
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: own anything, that you aren't going to be responsible for anything,
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: and you'll be happy. If you want to know how
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: the scenario that the World Economic Forum promotes is going
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: to end, Look at the beginnings of these French riots.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: It's not the sum total of the French riots because
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: the Islamists grabbed hold of the protests and co-opted them
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: for their own dastardly deeds. The protests I speak of,
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: if you've been not paying attention, and good on you
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: for trying to break free from it for a little bit, 1,800
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: people under arrest. And lucky for them, this isn't Tehran,
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: where they'd be hung in the town square. Islamists and
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: college students protested through Sunday. Violence through Paris, Marseille, Lyon, Bordeaux,
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: and other cities. Schools burned, including, ironically, the Nelson Mandela
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: School in a French suburb where it was burned to
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: a degree of $ 3. 4 million worth of damage. More than
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: 500 police officers and firefighters injured, according to the Macron government,
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: as demonstrations over living costs, is what they told people,
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: though several folks were seen carrying Iranian flags through the
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: protest marches. Meanwhile, in other places of friction... Russian President
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: Vladimir Putin has proposed a summit with President Donald Trump
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: and Chinese Chairman Xi next month to somehow negotiate an
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: end to the four-year war in Ukraine without the Ukrainians.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: The three-way summit would not include Volodymyr Zelensky, and world
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: leaders are wondering why these three countries have decided they
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: can end the war. Meanwhile, After calling them out as
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: nothing more than errand boys, doing nothing more than keeping
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: them busy and giving them false hope, Volodymyr Zelensky sat
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: down with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on Sunday, restarting
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: peace negotiations. The conference call marked Zelensky's first conversation since
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: the failure of the Starlink network. drone controls and the
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: missing intel report that said, hey, they're going to be
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: shooting some intercontinental ballistic missiles at you. J.D. Vance was
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: asked at a town hall on Saturday in Michigan if
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: he was going to be the presidential nominee in 2028
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: or if there was a chance he didn't run. His answer,
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: of course there's a chance when he asked if he
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: would sit out the 2020 election. Speaking of elections, President
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: Trump endorsed Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday, saying, There he is.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: I was wondering where the ad was.
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: Hi, this is Bud Foster, co-host of Foster and Friends
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: and former Virginia Tech football coach. When I brought the
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: famed lunch pail to our team, it symbolized teamwork. The

• 9:37
  Speaker 10: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 9:41

• 13:11
  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:21
  Speaker 17: Communist.
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: Oh, wait, give me a chance.
• 13:25
  Speaker 17: Today the capitalists, they are sleeping in silks and satins.
• 13:28
  Speaker 17: They're living in pants houses. They're sleeping in yachts. It's
• 13:33
  Speaker 17: a good thing I was in dry dock. They're riding
• 13:36
  Speaker 17: around the limousines, those after-dinner cars, V8. They're eating strawberries
• 13:41
  Speaker 17: and cream, extra heavy cream, in the bottles, not containers.
• 13:47
  Speaker 17: But comes the revolution, there'll be no silks and sentence.
• 13:50
  Speaker 17: Comes the revolution, no limousines. Comes the revolution, no strawberries
• 13:54
  Speaker 17: and cream. Comes the revolution. We'll eat strawberries and cream,
• 14:00
  Speaker 17: but I don't like strawberries and cream.
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: Don't like it?
• 14:04
  Speaker 18: No, it gives me pimples.
• 14:06
  Speaker 17: Comes a revolution, you muzzle, you'll eat strawberries and cream
• 14:10
  Speaker 17: and like it.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: 1932, the Howard brothers played for a young Joe Thomas, five,
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: six years old on Clay 45, like 78, I guess.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: Clay 78 by his mother who said, this is what
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: you need to know. Come the revolution, you will eat
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: strawberries and cream because I tell you to. The World
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: Economic Forum says you will own nothing and you will
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: love it. France is, I don't want to say the
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: trial balloon, but if the gondola fits, wear it. France
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: has been trying to pull this one off for some time,
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: this futuristic world economic forum of you will own nothing
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: and you will like it. And the premise is simple.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: You will all be clustered into cities. You will all
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: have assigned times to work and times to not work.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: And the times you are not working, your living quarters
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: will be used by somebody who isn't working. And then
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: they will have to go to work and you will
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: go home to the living quarters you've been assigned and
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: you will sleep there for your allotted eight hours, maybe
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: an extra hour to shower and shave. And then the
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: next denizen of that living quarters, clothing. The whole secret
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: of Chairman Mao's dress code is that why own clothing
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: when it's just the same as everyone else's? And in
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: the United States, thanks to People who don't understand value
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: of work have been sold because they want to believe
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: that $ 300, 000 worth of college debt is going to get
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: you a lucrative job. The United States teeters on what
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: we're seeing this weekend in France. But understand, I'm not
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: changing my point. What will happen is disaffected young folks
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: will start to organize, and then the Islamists will come
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: in and say, yeah, yeah, we're with you. We're with you.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: Come the revolution. You will eat strawberries and cream. And
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: you say, well, Joe, what's wrong with that? What's wrong
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: with that? Well, what you're seeing in France is what
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: happens when the World Economic Forum world is put into practice.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: People don't have what they need to have. People don't
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: have the things they think they should. People aren't rewarded
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: in the ways they think they should for the work
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: that they provide. So they riot. So they protest. The
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: thing about France is that it's become so commonplace that
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: when protesters start talking about protesting, the French authorities are like, yeah,
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: what is it, the third week of the month? I
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: guess it's time for the unions to send the yellow
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: vest crowd out onto the streets around the government, around
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: the Bastille. But this time it was different. This time
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: the Islamists... snuck in the back door and said, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: we're with you. No, no, what do you mean, why
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: do you smell gasoline? No, no, don't worry about that.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: We're just here to protest with you. Seeking the opportunity
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: to destabilize the French government, not that it was a
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: highlight instability in the first place, And you say, but Joe,
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: it's populism. It's democracy. It's voting. It's not voting. It's
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: voting for your own self-interest. It's voting for saying, I
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: want my student loan debt canceled. I want my rent canceled.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: I want my grocery bills paid. That's what you're voting for.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: You're voting for someone else to do it for you.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: But Joe, the questions come in. What about a world
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: without money? You're a Star Trek fan, Joe. Didn't Gene
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: Roddenberry invent a world without money? No, he didn't. You know,
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: people all the time like to paint pictures of different things.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: But there's always currency. There's always a way to measure
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: the value of something. What happens when the government starts
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: playing around in that is you wind up with crippled
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: real estate markets. because governments don't want gentrification because it
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: doesn't look populist. So property values never organically go up
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: and down because governments are seen by their credit score.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: I have a very large credit score, don't you see?
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: Boys will be boys. So governments have interceded to keep
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: property values artificially high, as if we learned nothing from
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: the Chinese economic crisis of five years ago that you
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: never really heard about. And the government keeps trying to
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: come up with ways to quell the student protests over debt.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: Panicking over the idea that students might wake up one
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: morning and realize, did I really need a college education?
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: Because that's the panic. The United States wants to keep
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: everyone going to school through 16th grade and maybe beyond
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: to keep the workforce thin. To allow for that permanent
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: underclass of servants, slightly less brown skin than the last batch.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: As we trundle towards another civil unrest, another battle between
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: the states, not so regional as it was the last time,
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: but still driven by the same agendas. Because the government
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: thinks it can decide for you what is right for
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: you and what is not. Hey, I'm Brant, and her
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: name is Sherry.
• 22:03
  Speaker 14: Hello.
• 22:04
  Speaker 19: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
• 22:06
  Speaker 19: for because of a surgery she just went through.
• 22:09
  Speaker 20: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
• 22:11
  Speaker 20: talk about all the time, which is?
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: MediShare.
• 22:14
  Speaker 20: That is right.
• 22:14

  Speaker 20: Honestly, Brant, seamless, and what a blessing that is. When
• 22:21
  Speaker 20: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was,
• 22:24
  Speaker 20: members shared my expenses, there were zero problems, and let
• 22:27
  Speaker 20: me tell you, Having people pray with you when you
• 22:30
  Speaker 20: call in with your need, that is just... It is refreshing. Yes,
• 22:34
  Speaker 20: that's what it is.
• 22:35
  Speaker 19: What I keep telling people, people love MediShare and they
• 22:38
  Speaker 19: love saving money. A typical family can save $ 500 a month.
• 22:42
  Speaker 20: I am very thankful for MediShare. It is so different.

  Speaker 21: Michael Bailey, president of the American Veterinary Medical Association. Artificial
• 23:07
  Speaker 21: intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver better
• 23:11
  Speaker 21: care for pets. From AI-assisted radiographs that speed up diagnoses
• 23:17
  Speaker 21: to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports veterinary teams
• 23:21
  Speaker 21: in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop personalized cancer treatments,
• 23:27
  Speaker 21: predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease, and even streamline
• 23:32
  Speaker 21: record keeping so veterinarians can focus more on patients. As
• 23:37
  Speaker 21: with any new technology, always keep a human in the
• 23:41
  Speaker 21: loop to maintain the best pet healthcare. AI is a
• 23:45
  Speaker 21: powerful tool, but not a replacement for your veterinarian's expertise, compassion,
• 23:51
  Speaker 21: and judgment, which remains at the center of our profession.

  Speaker 1: Talk radio just the way your mother used to make it.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: That means it smells a little like gin. The clay
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: 78s of my mother's educational tutelage of Joe Thomas. Including
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: Spike Jones and.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: Come the revolution! Teaching me to understand that satire, satirizing
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: the authoritarians is the best way to make them just
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: absolutely gobsmackingly furious with you. So blame her.
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: As the sun pulls away from the shore and our
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: boat sinks slowly in the west.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir. Here we are in our island paradise this morning.
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: But the worst thing you can do to an authoritarian
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: is to not take them seriously. Do you know how
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: many years I went to college to earn this degree, mister?
• 29:37
  Speaker 17: I don't know.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: I might pay more attention to somebody who only took
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: a year to get your four-year degree. Them's an achievement
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: right there. But why should what's going on in France
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: be important to Americans, to both in the United States
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: and United States light north of our border. A third
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: less calories than the regular United States and a fine
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: maple syrup scent. Because this is East versus West. And unfortunately,
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: if we don't grasp our economic problems, it's inevitable. Almost
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: as inevitable as the warm-up acts were In 2020, when
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: we were having our race riots in cities like Richmond
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: and Roanoke and New York and Chicago, you remember the
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: mostly peaceful protests in Seattle, Portland, the CHOP zone or
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: CHAZ or whatever it was by the time the end,
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: where trash and dead bodies piled up. while the police said, well,
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: they said we can't come in there, so I guess
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: we can't come in there. When groups like Occupy Wall
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: Street took over city parks for months on end, living
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: in squalor and what could only be described as skid
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: row of today, and when their permits for said protests
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: ran out, they just said, we're not leaving, copper. Come
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: and make us. All those were warm-up acts for what's
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: going to happen when the French mistake comes to the
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: United States. Because they've got to do something. Because if
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: you didn't notice, they held no king's protests. The League
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: of Women Voters and Indivisible and 50501. They held a
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: bunch of No Kings protests. Half the cities didn't participate.
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: And even in the cities where people did participate, half
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: the organizations, like even Indivisible, didn't bother to participate. So
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: they've got to do something. They haven't completed the mission yet.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: So be wary of French-style riots in the country because
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: poverty is an issue that conservatives with the right answers
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: won't engage because they're afraid, because they don't think they
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: have the answer for somebody who's poor. They do. They
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: just are too afraid to engage it, or they were
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: too busy learning what is the best way to lay
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: out a political mailing card than actually learning anything about economics.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: I remember when Dave Brat, former congressman, won his battle
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: over the House minority leader, Eric Cantor, in a primary.
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: And I said to him, I said, Dave, you're an
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: ethics professor and an economist. You're going to burst into
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: flames just the moment you enter the Capitol building. And
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: he laughed. And he wasn't laughing by the time his
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: term was over. It's the economy, stupid. And it's about
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: what's your dollar valued at. And that's why we talk
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: to our friends, James and his family, at jcsgold.com, along
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: with the many other things that we do economically. But
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: gold is gold, and silver is silver. And there's a
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: profundity in there that I'm sure you saw just fly
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: by you so quickly it came. It's like that Frisbee
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: you weren't expecting right before it hit you in the temple.
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: James Locke is on the phone with us at 434-882-4217.
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: Tell us how gold and silver are meeting this tumultuous
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: Monday morning. Good morning, James. How are you, sir?
• 34:04
  Speaker 18: I'm doing well, Joe, and you're exactly right. Gold and
• 34:08
  Speaker 18: silver have been, you know, the front line of the
• 34:11
  Speaker 18: fight against inflation, you know, almost since the beginning of inflation, honestly.
• 34:17
  Speaker 11: And, you And.
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: A lot of people, you know, have always, you know,
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: I do.
• 34:24
  Speaker 18: Hear clients from time to time that say, you know,
• 34:26
  Speaker 18: I've always heard about gold. I've always heard about, you know,
• 34:29
  Speaker 18: buying physical gold and gain in. And I just never
• 34:32
  Speaker 18: did it. I just, you know, kind of drug my
• 34:34
  Speaker 18: feet and never got there. And then, you know, they
• 34:38
  Speaker 18: wake up and they see the headline or they hear
• 34:40
  Speaker 18: us here on the radio and they're like, oh, my gosh,
• 34:42
  Speaker 18: gold is now $ 4, 000. I remember when it was $ 600
• 34:43
  Speaker 18: an ounce and they didn't buy in. And the whole
• 34:49
  Speaker 18: point is, you know, it's never too late to start
• 34:53
  Speaker 18: stacking your position in physical gold and silver, you know,
• 34:57
  Speaker 18: to fight your fight against inflation. And gold is even
• 35:01
  Speaker 18: on the day so far today, right at $ 4, 165. Silver
• 35:03
  Speaker 18: is 1% in the green to $ 57.
• 35:04
  Speaker 25: 52.
• 35:04
  Speaker 18: So both metals, you know, feeling pretty good on this Monday.
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: Well, but with the stories coming out over the weekend
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: about our debt now reaching $ 1. 99 billion and stunning numbers
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: from that, I can only imagine that is going to
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: have some impact on the gold and silver markets, don't you? Trillion,
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
• 35:34
  Speaker 14: Absolutely.
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry. I've mixed up my consonants.
• 35:38
  Speaker 25: $ 1.
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: 99 trillion deficit, as if.
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: That's somehow easier to grasp. Absolutely.
• 35:48
  Speaker 18: You know, you mean it's hard to hear that and
• 35:50
  Speaker 18: not think like, man, I really the dollar is.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: Not shrinking.
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: It's getting bigger. And that's the thing. And at some point,
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: the economy is going to drive, you know, the cities
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: of the United States into, you know, whether it be
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: fraudulently based or not, we're going to see copycats of
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: what's been going on in Paris and other French cities
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: coming soon. So I'm considering how much, you know, I'm
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: in my couch right now trying to find change in
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: there so my wife and I can come visit you
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: and increase our position a little bit before it becomes
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: really hard to do so, James. So hopefully folks are
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: giving you a call at 434-979-COIN. after 10 Eastern or
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: visit anytime. If you're listening right now, where's this place? Well,
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: it's at jcsgold.com, Jefferson Coin Shop, jcsgold.com is where you
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: find them. Jameson, you have a blessed morning, sir. Thank you, Joe.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: You too. Great family business, not in there to meet
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: a quota. So when you ask their advice, you don't
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: have to sit there and say, gosh, Did they tell
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: me that because, you know, closers get coffee or what
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: was the.
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: Trust is the thing. I mean, you have to because
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: that's the individual care. And what about the value of
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: the dollar? You say, Joe, that conservatives are ill-equipped or
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: unable or unwilling to dive into the economic problems. Well,
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: they need to, pardon the phrase, grow a set. Because
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: somewhere along the line, they've been emasculated, and many of
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: them understand the economics of it. You need to have
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: a valued dollar.
• 38:01
  Speaker 19: Life can change so abruptly. Just ask Paul. He's a
• 38:05
  Speaker 19: hardworking entrepreneur.
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: He's young.
• 38:07
  Speaker 19: He's got a young family. Suddenly, though, he develops a
• 38:10
  Speaker 19: rare medical condition where he lost the use of both
• 38:13
  Speaker 19: of his arms.
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: I could no longer drive a car, couldn't use a computer,
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: couldn't type, couldn't use a mouse. I could not hold
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: my son, who was about a month old.
• 38:20
  Speaker 19: Paul and his family were facing a mountain of medical bills,
• 38:23
  Speaker 19: but they're so thankful that they're members of MediShare.
• 38:27
  Speaker 29: I think if someone asked me like, hey, does MediShare
• 38:30
  Speaker 29: really work? I'm living proof that it works. My four
• 38:33
  Speaker 29: children are living proof that it works. My arms, which
• 38:36
  Speaker 29: have been healed, are living proof that MediShare works. Just
• 38:40
  Speaker 29: knowing the emotional peace of mind, knowing that our needs
• 38:42
  Speaker 29: are going to be taken care of when we have
• 38:44
  Speaker 29: some type of medical problem, that is such a huge
• 38:46
  Speaker 29: blessing to us.
• 38:47
  Speaker 19: It could be a huge blessing to you, too. People

• 39:04
  Speaker 7: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 39:07
  Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 39:13
  Speaker 7: I'm Dr.
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: Mitch.
• 39:15
  Speaker 7: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 39:20
  Speaker 7: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 39:24
  Speaker 7: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 39:29
  Speaker 7: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 39:33
  Speaker 7: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 39:39
  Speaker 7: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or at
• 39:44
  Speaker 7: least slow the spread of cancer and in many instances
• 39:47
  Speaker 7: make chemotherapy more effective It protects our healthy cells even
• 39:52
  Speaker 7: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,

  Speaker 31: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 41:09
  Speaker 31: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
• 41:13
  Speaker 31: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
• 41:15
  Speaker 31: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
• 41:18
  Speaker 31: their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows them
• 41:21
  Speaker 31: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 41:24
  Speaker 31: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
• 41:27
  Speaker 31: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
• 41:30
  Speaker 31: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving
• 41:34
  Speaker 31: work every day Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
• 41:36
  Speaker 31: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
• 41:39
  Speaker 31: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
• 41:42
  Speaker 31: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
• 41:45
  Speaker 31: trained roles that contribute to society.
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: And help those in need.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: So please join me and American.

• 42:01
  Speaker 25: Oh, yeah?
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 42:04
  Speaker 23: And now a speech.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 42:13
  Speaker 31: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: somebody call me a ride.
• 42:20
  Speaker 22: Love that guy.
• 42:20
  Speaker 23: Me too.
• 42:21
  Speaker 16: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 42:24
  Speaker 16: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.

• 42:31
  Speaker 24: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 42:35
  Speaker 24: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 42:40
  Speaker 24: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 42:42
  Speaker 24: energy assessment. Your utility company can help. Or you can
• 42:46

• 43:33
  Speaker 13: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 43:35
  Speaker 13: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 43:41
  Speaker 13: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.

  Speaker 1: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: So what do you do? You say, okay, Joe, why
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: are these things happening? Is government regulation? I know you
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: roll your eyes saying, of course it is, Joe. Of
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: course it is. You're a conservative talk show host, so
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: of course it's got to be government regulations. Well, it is. Even,
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: and we were talking about this over the weekend, even
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: in a place where you can see seed at the
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: core of the development of an agency. And I spent
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: a little time over the weekend with a terrific bestselling
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: author and farmer, founder of the Rogue Food Conference, showing
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: farmers how they can sell their food to customers without
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: the government's interference.
• 45:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: Why would you want the American farmer to be able
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: to sell food to customers without the government checking at
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: first because they've done such a bang-up job so far. Smithfield.
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: Joel Salatin and I were talking. He's got a new
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: book out, The Food Emancipation Plan. Just came out, I think,
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: earlier this week. And it's stunning when you start to
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: look at all the places. Just food.
• 45:48
  Speaker 21: Food.
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: That we consume, that is the essence of life, is
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: so heavily regulated by the government. And why is that? Well,
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: if you go back to the beginning, what were the
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: essential reasons? It was at first proposed to protect consumers
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: from bad food. Then it was promoted to to protect
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: farmers from blight and another dust bowl and things like that.
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: But over time, people started saying, hey, I could use
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: this if I get the right legislators on my side
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: and if I wine and dine the right bureaucrats to
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: interpret the legislation in a way that benefits my business,
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: I win. If I want to make cheaper bread, so
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: I need to use cheaper ingredients, but my competition will
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: just come back and say, we use better quality flour.
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: So I want to make it so they can't use
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: better quality flour. or at least better than I'm using,
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: so we need to develop food and drug administration standards.
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: And you see how it begins. Banking. Up until the mid-90s,
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: we had firewalls that kept investments, investment companies, separate from banks. Banks.
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: So banks, you wouldn't be able to also, while you
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: were there, sell you life insurance and manage your investment portfolio.
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: But we were told it will be so much easier
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: when TD owns everything banking-wise or Bank of America really
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: becomes the Bank of America. How's that worked out for you?
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: And these are the things that are putting us in
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: peril of having our own American versions of what's happening
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: in Paris. And I'm not discounting the Islamists that saw
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: a bunch of angry college students bored because they're college
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: students interested in holding a riot because it's France. But
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: then the Islamists came in and said, we can turn
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: this into our own little intifada. And while the college
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: kids think they're going to try to get all these
• 48:54
  Speaker 4: issues addressed, we'll say, hey, remember Hamas? And they'll say, oh, yes, Hamas,
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: that marginalized community. Yes, yes, march with us. And we're
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: going to go burn down the Nelson Mandela School of
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: all places. That's just such a stunning thing to think of,
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: these folks who think they're protesting for things. They're protesting
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: for other people's things because they don't have the opportunities
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: that we do. But it's coming here if we don't
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: start paying attention to the mismanagement of our economic systems.
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: And conservatives have the right answer. You know it. And
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: you've called me and talked about it. Good morning. You're
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: on the air with Joe first thing this morning. Who's this?
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: Good morning.
• 49:40
  Speaker 28: It's Andy. I'm getting ready to go out to town
• 49:42
  Speaker 28: to the Mises Institute.
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's a great group. That's exactly who we need.
• 49:48
  Speaker 28: Because the state of Washington requires that I go for
• 49:53
  Speaker 28: a visit at least once a year. And I had
• 49:58
  Speaker 28: injured my back and had gone out to get a walker.
• 50:02
  Speaker 28: I have a 7,500 square foot warehouse. and it is
• 50:08
  Speaker 28: air conditioned and I have no debt. So, I mean,
• 50:11
  Speaker 28: just to kind of paint a picture of, you know,
• 50:15
  Speaker 28: just the, the not massive amount of wealth, but my
• 50:21
  Speaker 28: best thing to do when I got back from my
• 50:23
  Speaker 28: first red pill expo was to, to follow the, the
• 50:29
  Speaker 28: advice of the dude who used to be a, He
• 50:34
  Speaker 28: was a great author in.
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: Kiyosaki. Oh, Robert Kiyosaki. Yeah. Oh, my gosh.
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 50:43
  Speaker 28: So the first time I had never met him, and
• 50:46
  Speaker 28: he's joking with people as he's standing in line to, like,
• 50:50
  Speaker 28: either get a beer or a sandwich or something.
• 50:53
  Speaker 4: How neat is that?
• 50:55
  Speaker 28: I mean, I was there. I'd never met Griffin either,
• 51:01
  Speaker 28: but I had read the book. And I actually did
• 51:04
  Speaker 28: go to the McIntyre School of Commerce and have a
• 51:07
  Speaker 28: banking degree from there. And so that was sort of
• 51:11
  Speaker 28: my background. But I went into the, you know, just
• 51:17
  Speaker 28: say entrepreneurial.
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 51:22
  Speaker 28: And so I'm out there. And there are 800 people
• 51:25
  Speaker 28: at this first Red Pill in Bozeman. And there were,
• 51:30
  Speaker 28: I had never heard. been around 800 more interesting people,
• 51:36
  Speaker 28: but I'm standing there and there was this local info
• 51:41
  Speaker 28: babe from whatever TV station there was there trying to
• 51:46
  Speaker 28: like do whatever. And next thing I know, I'm like,
• 51:49
  Speaker 28: she's talking about all these like wacko people. And I
• 51:54
  Speaker 28: went out in the parking lot. And so I did
• 51:56
  Speaker 28: a photographic thing of the entire parking lot and And
• 52:02
  Speaker 28: I was looking for kind of just crazy wacko stuff.
• 52:07
  Speaker 28: And I was like, I couldn't find a single person.
• 52:11
  Speaker 28: Or there was some guy that was kind of occupying
• 52:16
  Speaker 28: the back of his pickup truck. And he was waiting
• 52:19
  Speaker 28: to hear Joel Salatin. And I was just, you're, I mean,
• 52:25
  Speaker 28: you've like hit the mother load in terms of, You know,
• 52:28
  Speaker 28: just freedom fighting and trying to keep.
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: Well, and I can't wait to read his book about
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: food emancipation because you want to talk about the center
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: square as much as gold is. But I've got the
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: news coming up here. Travel safely to the Mises.
• 52:40
  Speaker 28: I will, and I just want to let you know
• 52:43
  Speaker 28: that I'm out here fighting just like you.
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: And keep that Mises. We love Mises to pieces.
• 52:51
  Speaker 8: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 52:55
  Speaker 8: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 52:57

• 52:59
