0:02
Speaker 1: There are a whole range of things that worry me a.
0:05
Speaker 2: Great deal of the politicization of the Justice department.
0:08
Speaker 3: First thing today on the Talk media Network by Joe Thomas,
0:13
the second most famous Thomas and Charlotte.
0:15
Speaker 4: Smith Jewort said, steal me stem. You have a day
0:21
at least for work.
0:22
Speaker 3: When the sun comes up, drops a pet to scoots.
0:26
Speaker 5: Joe has everything a dream do all the jersues seven needs.
0:31
Speaker 1: No one that Joe's as smile he all the eggs.
0:35
Speaker 4: Please let them be Joe, Thank you for letting me
0:40
be of service to you. I want to be Joe
0:46
four three four eight eight two four two one seven.
0:50
It's where we tell you about the news, tell you
0:53
what happened, tell you what we see in between the
0:56
tea leaves, and then ask you how is it impacting
0:59
you where you are, because that's really the most important thing.
1:07
And it was a couple of emails and a text
1:11
message based on our phone call with Bob earlier, where
1:14
I was needling him about he said that nobody had
1:19
mentioned this Ukrainian that had been arrested by German authorities.
1:28
And I said, aside from you know, the mentions we
1:30
gave it, and this one from Larry, I think is
1:33
indicative of it. Joe, you're on what like a hundred stations,
1:37
you said, I don't know what the number is, but
1:39
you are certainly not in every market, in every town
1:44
you are, and nobody get over yourself, dude, And you're
1:50
new to the Larry, you may be new to the equation.
1:53
I get it. If I can't be self effacing, I
1:58
can't be anything. Of course, I realized, are we you know,
2:02
seven hundred eight hundreds. But you know, here's the important thing, Larry,
2:06
I'm the only radio show on in your house, and
2:10
that's all that matters is I look at what I
2:13
do backwards from a lot of other people. A lot
2:17
of other people they look at the you know, what
2:19
they do, how they do it in reverse from where
2:24
I sit. There's only one radio program coming through to
2:30
you right now, and that's me, and that's all that matters.
2:36
I'm number one in your car because you and I
2:41
were sitting here by ourselves having a chat, I know,
2:47
market research and all this other huha. That actually is
2:51
in the other part of what Bob was bringing up,
2:53
which is the statistical games that our governments play and
2:58
our betting camp betting apps play and everyone plays with us,
3:07
so we tease. But it's how a movement starts. Did
3:12
anyone tell Charlie Kirk it his first rally? I think
3:16
it was Florida for Turning Point USA. I know eventually
3:21
he wont a very big in Lynchburg here in Virginia
3:24
at Liberty University. But did tell him you only had
3:28
like fifty people show up. Charlie is not going anywhere. Now.
3:32
That's how you start these things, and it builds a
3:36
force multiplier and I appreciate it. Larry. Maybe you were
3:39
just sticking a needle into me as much as I'll
3:41
do it myself. Our first things this morning, Hamas is
3:45
release of all remaining hostages and their bodies is only
3:50
the start. According to Secretary of State Marco Arubio, speaking
3:54
on NBC's Meet the Press, we can't have a Palestinian
3:58
state that's governed by Moss or some terrorist organization whose
4:03
stated purpose for existence is the destruction of the Jewish state.
4:09
According to White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett yesterday,
4:16
the administration will begin mass layoffs of federal workers if
4:21
the President decides negotiations with Congressional Democrats are not going
4:27
to end the government shutdown. In a related story, Saturday morning,
4:33
House Speaker Mike Johnson told members of the US House
4:36
of Representatives they would not be back at work until
4:39
next Monday. The Supreme Court back Monday for a pack dock.
4:45
At thirty nine cases have been reviewed so far, including
4:51
challenges to the president's tariffs and a redistricting fight. The
4:59
summer will be full filled with these hearings and rulings.
5:05
A Washington Post survey of one thousand inten adults conducted
5:10
via text message between October first and second found that
5:14
forty seven percent of their respondents placed responsibility for the
5:19
government shutdown on Trump and Republicans in Congress was how
5:23
the question was asked, while thirty percent blamed Democrats and
5:27
twenty three percent were not sure. In a CBS News
5:33
Yugov poll of twenty four hundred and eleven adults conducted
5:37
October first through the third, thirty nine percent blamed the
5:41
Republicans and the President, thirty percent blamed the Democrats, and
5:46
thirty one percent set a pox on both houses for
5:50
the government shutdown. A federal judge blocked the president's efforts
5:55
to deploy National Guard troops to Portland. In a late
5:58
night decision yesterday, US District Judge Karen Immergut ruled the
6:02
action was unlawful and unconstitutional, citing US Code one two
6:08
four six and the Tenth Amendment. South Dakota State Representative
6:15
Perry Pourier has switched from the Democratic Party to Republicans,
6:19
citing the rhetoric and priorities within the Democratic Party and
6:25
President Trump was at the Navy's two hundred and fiftieth
6:28
anniversary Sunday at Fishburne Military School. There's no hiding here.

9:37
than from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like
9:41
the one for new macccle disease can protect adults from
9:44
illnesses that can cause mistays of work, hospitalization, and even death.

New macaccle disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
9:53
or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
9:56
of an infection that can spread from person to person.

12:56
Speaker 4: It's on.
13:12
Speaker 3: From the home of the First Amendment. First thing today.
13:16
Speaker 6: All across America talk radio and the voices of freedom.
13:22
Speaker 4: Don't stop talking a constituency of one. Don't stop laughing,
13:27
don't stop caring. It was something I was taught early
13:30
on God Boy, don't ever stop. There's only one thing
13:35
you can guarantee about radio make up locker, is that
13:41
the only real guarantee that you can have is with
13:45
ninety nine point eight percent surety. And of course you
13:50
know that seven hundred and three percent of all statistics
13:53
are generally made up on the spot anyway, but it's
13:57
nearly ninety nine percent surety. They you're sitting by yourself,
14:02
and if I'm talking to some group of people imaginary
14:06
in my head, like we've got some big you know,
14:09
big audience and you're sitting there by yourself. It's kind
14:12
of disenfranchising. So in this idea that we're somehow not
14:18
a real radio program because we're not on in seven
14:22
eight hundred cities, whatever it may be. I mean that
14:25
may be, and it may change. But I'm only on
14:28
in your car or in your kitchen one time, and
14:31
that's all that matters. I saw this story off of
14:34
the Treasure Coast and hamp and all the folks down there,
14:37
and I thought of you, and I thought of James
14:39
Luck when I saw the story as well. Apparently a
14:45
million dollars in gold coins, you know, reminding people why
14:49
you know the Vero Beach Fort Pierce area is called
14:52
the Treasure Coast. They are all like bronze, they all
14:58
look like green from there's the shipwreck where the name
15:06
Treasure Coast comes from. A million dollars of lost Spanish
15:11
treasure truly Spanish toaballoons, I guess one thousand silver and
15:17
gold coins thought to be minted in the Spanish colonies
15:20
of Bolivia and Peru were found by the seventeen fifty
15:29
Fleet Queen's Jewels LLC, who are doing ex excavation I
15:35
don't know if this find of all these lost gold
15:38
coins has done anything to the gold and silver market,
15:41
but I bet you James Luck can tell us if
15:43
it did. Good morning, James, how are you, sir?
15:48
Speaker 16: I'll good, well, Joe.
15:49
Speaker 17: All I can say to that is it's convenient timing
15:53
to find some gold and silver coins and shipwreck off
15:58
of Florida. Because gold is another all time high of
16:01
fifty five dollars overnight, one and a half percent in
16:05
the green to three thy nine hundred and forty one dollars.
16:10
Great time, oh, discover some gold coins in the shipwreck.
16:17
Speaker 4: Same story for silver.
16:18
Speaker 18: Silver's up over one and a quarter percent to forty
16:21
eight dollars and sixty cents.
16:23
Speaker 4: So I think, you know, we.
16:25
Speaker 17: May even blow right back fifty this week.
16:27
Speaker 16: We'll see and you can see all that up today
16:30
golden silver priceing at jcscold dot com.
16:33
Speaker 4: And you know, and the the interest in this, you know,
16:36
I know these guys and we were talking a little
16:38
bit about how you know, the government officials are out
16:41
there and it's like asking a McDonald's CEO, you know,
16:44
who has the best hamburger and then being surprised they
16:47
say McDonald's you know, so the administration officials, everything's great,
16:52
the economy is doing great, and everything else. I'm telling
16:54
you this, gold and silver prices are indicative of people,
16:58
if not losing faith, at least trying to make sure
17:02
that there's a life raft somewhere for them if if
17:05
there is more economic problems, isn't it James.
17:10
Speaker 18: Yeah, that's exactly right. I've been having a lot of
17:13
conversations with clients recently who are happy that their gold
17:17
and silver positions are more valuable these days. But then
17:22
the conversation gets deeper and that you know, this really
17:25
isn't a great sign for the economy, but you can
17:29
see this across other assets. The point is is that
17:32
the dollar has steadily been shrinking over the past hundred years,
17:37
and and gold is in real estate also are our
17:40
examples of that. And we can see that by by
17:43
real estate priced in gold is the same price now
17:47
and today that it was one hundred years ago.
17:50
Speaker 16: That just shows the shrinking dollar. The point is is
17:53
that you have to own assets. You have to own
17:56
something gold and silver, and that's the only way to
18:01
not get left behind.
18:02
Speaker 4: Jcsgold dot Com don't get left behind there. It's a
18:06
family business that you're gonna have this very same conversation
18:09
or one like it with when they open at ten
18:11
eastern this morning at four three four ninety seven nine
18:16
Coin James, you have an awesome morning, sir. And if
18:18
you're heading to the Treasure Coast, let me know. I'll
18:21
bring some shovels.
18:23
Speaker 18: I'm actually packing my carry on right now.
18:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, I'm busy until nine, so I'll meet
18:29
you after that. That's great, thanks, four three four eight
18:35
eight two four two one seven. Doctor Clark's in Alabama.
18:38
You want to talk about a constituency of one? He
18:41
pulls in a web stream. There there are two folks.
18:43
A fella also listens in Alabama to a web stream
18:47
of the show from kfi R in Fairbanks. You get
18:52
it from our flagship wt O N, Doctor Clark, So
18:55
you see, it doesn't matter how you get it, just
18:57
get it. What's going on, sir.
19:01
Speaker 19: Let's see J Jones, the motivator Joe. The question is
19:09
is which base does he better motivate?
19:11
Speaker 4: Well, I was thinking the same thing over the weekend,
19:14
Doctor Clark, because you know everyone's J Jones. If you're
19:17
joining us in progress and have been avoiding your screens
19:20
over the weekend. Is the Virginia Attorney General Democrat candidate
19:26
who had text messages released on Friday from twenty twenty two,
19:31
And there are Democrat friends of mine saying, oh, this
19:34
woman held onto these emails for three years. Sure, sure,
19:38
October surprises are October surprises just because and there were
19:43
Democrats that knew he said this. So he went through
19:46
a primary process and nobody in the Democratic Party said, hey,
19:51
we might have a problem with this candidate. I don't
19:54
know if he's storybook or not, but just to catch
19:56
people up on who j Jones is, President Trump says
20:00
he's got to go. He's endorsed his opponent now, Jason Miaris.
20:05
So anyway, so your question is is he going to
20:08
motivate more Democrats because they agree with him?
20:11
Speaker 19: I guess, well it is the ticket killed by rage.
20:16
Speaker 4: Yep, yep. The governor can do at this point.
20:20
Speaker 19: Joe, if the Democrats in the state of Virginia are
20:24
going to change their mascot, would it be from a
20:28
jackass to evil red wasps or would they be the
20:34
murder Hornets.
20:35
Speaker 4: I think the murder Hornets might be the better one.
20:38
I think an asp because it sounds enough like ass
20:43
I think a poisonous snake might be pretty good, because
20:48
they like to put on a brave face and a
20:51
conciliatory face, and a bipartisan face and a centrist face
20:56
and then talk about rage or shooting Republicans in the
20:59
head and their children. By the way, let's let's not
21:02
let this guy skate out the fact that he was,
21:04
you know, as if saying you wanted to shoot a
21:07
political rival in the General Assembly isn't bad enough. He
21:11
said he wanted to shoot his kids too.
21:14
Speaker 19: Okay, so this was mistakenly sent to someone else? Yeah, okay, Well,
21:25
fricking how many texts he sent of that nature that
21:29
went to the right people that didn't get talked about?
21:32
Speaker 4: I don't know. Well that's what I said. You know,
21:34
there were he went through a primary process, and in
21:38
that primary process, nobody in the Democratic Party. And in
21:41
the texts that Carrie Coyner released to the National Review,
21:46
he says, damn that was supposed to go to Mark.
21:50
And we don't know who Mark was. Could be Mark Warner,
21:52
could be I don't know, you name it. But whoever
21:56
this Mark person was also knows. This is what Jay
21:59
Jones thought't say anything.
22:01
Speaker 20: Hey, Brandt, and her name is Shary.
22:03
Speaker 10: I love.
22:04
Speaker 20: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
22:06
for because of a surgery. She just went through.
22:09
Speaker 21: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
22:11
talk about all the time, which.
22:13
Speaker 3: Is meta share.
22:14
Speaker 21: That is right.
22:14
Speaker 20: Yeah, So what was your experience like with meta share
22:17
and healthcare ability?
22:18
Speaker 21: Honestly, Brandt seamless and what a blessing that is. When
22:21
you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was,
22:24
members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
22:27
me tell you, having people pray with you when you
22:30
call in with your need that is just refreshing. Yes,
22:34
that's what it is.
22:35
Speaker 4: What I keep telling people.
22:36
Speaker 20: People love meta share and they love saving money. The
22:39
typical family can save five hundred dollars a month.
22:42
Speaker 21: I am very thankful for meta share. It is so different,
22:46
and I mean different in a very very good way.
22:48
Speaker 20: It is good different.
22:49
Speaker 4: Call now.
22:50
Speaker 20: They're easy to talk to and you can get a
22:52
price within two minutes. Call eight five five share forty.
22:55
That's eight five five s h a r E forty
22:58
eight five five share.
23:01
Speaker 1: Hi.
23:01
Speaker 22: I'm doctor Michael Bailey, President of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
23:06
Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
23:11
better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
23:16
up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports
23:20
veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
23:25
personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,

Speaker 15: A message from FEMA and the Icons.
28:16
Speaker 3: First Thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
28:28
Speaker 4: Doctor Clark was on with us. We had to head
28:30
into a break there. We were talking about the size
28:36
of your reach and your power.
28:39
Speaker 15: What's on your mind?
28:41
Speaker 4: But that's you know, and and the issue remains still
28:45
that it's a constituency of one you're listening by yourself,
28:50
and and that's that's all that's ever going to be.
28:54
And and understand that is not you diminutive, dismissive. It's
28:59
your still important. And those are of the things that
29:02
I brought up when the Black Lives Matter movement was
29:06
going on and people would ask me, Joe, how am
29:08
I supposed to counteract this? Every time you said something
29:10
the constitution matters, or you know, you couldn't white lives matter?
29:15
I said, there's a simple answer. Your life matters. Well
29:21
what about it? Your life matters. I don't give a
29:24
crap about this massive people. I'm talking to you individually.
29:28
Your life matters. And that's how I roll. And that's
29:33
how I dismissed this idea that we get into group think.
29:38
Speaker 19: I'm gonna stick up just a little bit from oscow
29:41
Bob here with caveats.
29:43
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, well that's all right. We're all family.
29:47
Speaker 5: Here you go.
29:47
Speaker 19: Here's the thing local and you're not local because you're
29:53
all over the internet, but you're still local talk radio.
29:58
We'll talk about things a lot of times two three
30:05
weeks before the national shows will pick it up. I
30:11
personally think this is because of the nature of the funding.
30:15
You rely more on local money and what you say
30:22
does not come with national strings.
30:27
Speaker 4: Okay, I'll take that.
30:30
Speaker 19: So and now for the engaged listener, it can be frustrating.
30:39
The things that we've talked about, we've been done note
30:42
about not a word on the quote unquote big national
30:52
shows until I guess they get to go ahead from
30:56
national money that it's okay talk about.
30:58
Speaker 4: It, or the ground swell, you know, becomes un ignorable
31:04
or in ignorable.
31:05
Speaker 19: H that's pretty much where it is. You know, if
31:09
you listen to the nationals, it's kind of interesting in
31:14
that they'll all be ready to use the same non
31:19
lethal device on people at the same time. Now, it
31:26
doesn't take a whole lot to figure out that, hey,
31:28
you know what a big advertising deal got made here
31:31
for this, or they're all pimping the same uh stuff
31:38
that you could put on your dog food make your
31:40
dog healthier at the same time.
31:43
Speaker 4: Well, you know, but that's okay. We all have sponsors,
31:45
and but it's what it is. It is what you
31:51
owe the sponsor, and and I think that's where and
31:55
I'm not calling spade a spade. We all do our things,
31:58
and we all have sponsors that call us. But for example,
32:02
I had an interview somebody wanted to pay me to
32:05
interview them, and they were from a vaccine company, and
32:12
I said to them, I don't know how many dollars
32:15
was in it for me, but I said, I'm not
32:17
your guy. I said I would have to come at
32:21
it from this questioning position, and I wouldn't. And I
32:25
told them, I said, here are the questions I'd be
32:27
asking you about vaccine efficacy testing things like that, and
32:31
they said, uh, okay, maybe not. And there was no
32:34
ill will about it, but they were offering me money
32:37
for it. And I said, ah, I'm just not the guy.
32:40
I'm not going to help you. And part of it
32:42
is is the realization that I'm not helping you if
32:46
you're going to pay somebody to talk about your product,
32:50
and that person's already been skeptical about it, and he
32:53
all of a sudden, mysteriously has this come to Jesus
32:56
moment and now he loves your product. It's not how
33:00
helping sell your product. It really isn't. And I think
33:03
that you know, an honest conversation, and I'll tell you
33:08
if you hear people supporting this program, whether it's the
33:10
gas in your blood veins or JCS gold, whatever it
33:13
may be. Give them a call and I will make
33:17
no requirement that you have to purchase something for them.
33:21
That's on them. I'm not going to sell gold for James.
33:24
He can sell you gold, but I'll tell you that's
33:27
who I'm going to ask. That's that's all it comes
33:30
down to. And maybe that's why you know we're never
33:33
going to have eight hundred stations or whatever it may be.
33:37
But I get tired of these big networks. And as
33:39
a tangent here, the Federal Communications Commission under President Trump
33:45
is considering dropping local ownership caps for radio.
33:50
Speaker 29: Uh.
33:51
Speaker 4: They've already done it for television a few weeks maybe
33:53
a couple of months ago, where these mid size companies
33:58
like you know, town Square and Saga that you may
34:02
or make connaisse or not. The big guys like Cumulus,
34:06
Westwood One, iHeart, but the medium sized guys can can
34:11
buy up every single radio station in a town. And
34:16
their their argument is, well, Google's a monopoly, so we
34:20
should be allowed to be a monopoly. I'm like, all right,
34:23
So you're actually campaigning on the idea of two wrongs
34:28
making a right.
34:31
Speaker 1: Hmm.
34:34
Speaker 19: Yeah, wouldn't uh, wouldn't see things fall into line if
34:39
that happened, would you?
34:41
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I guess you know there it would
34:43
be great business. I was told this by a friend
34:45
of mine in the industry. He said, well, what do
34:47
you care, Joe, Just cash cash a multimillion dollar paycheck
34:51
for your radio station in Stanton and and go and
34:54
retire and boke a ratone or or the Treasure Coast
34:58
and go look for gold coins. Which isn't exactly what
35:01
I got into this for, but that's but that's Is
35:06
it the free market to do that? There's a good
35:10
question for you, because I get this. I thought you
35:13
were a free marketeer. Joe, I'm a I'm a small marketeer.
35:21
I don't believe in big centralized anything because it's too
35:28
far away from the consumer. Now, maybe the consumer doesn't
35:31
give a rats ass. You know, ninety seven cents for
35:36
a widget is better than a dollar nineteen from a
35:39
local widget manufacturer. And that's where we wind up economically,
35:44
hooked into China and Vietnam and Sri Lanka and South
35:49
America and all these places that will make stuff for
35:52
us for a lower price. Then we'll make them for ourselves. Here.
35:57
And that's just a few things that will allow ourselves
36:00
to make here. And it is a Ron Paul question
36:05
that I burns in my head every time I think
36:09
about the economy. Is nobody? It is the third rail
36:15
of politics. Used to be abortion. That changed. It's the
36:19
third rail of politics to talk about America's labor laws
36:23
and what they are doing to the economy. It's everybody
36:29
else's fault. It's the same reasoning I believe that goes
36:34
on behind it that keeps us from talking about stopping
36:40
abortions by having fewer young ladies get pregnant by accident,
36:46
well not by accident versus unintended. If we could eliminate
36:51
unintended pregnancies, we've just functionally eliminated abortion. What's wrong with that?
36:58
Nobody wants to talk about that, because that means, Joe,
37:01
you're talking about stuff we don't want to talk about.
37:03
I don't care. I only have a few minutes with
37:08
you every day. I'm not going to waste them lying
37:11
to you for the same reason I age I said,
37:17
it's not going to help. You know, Steve and the
37:20
folks at one twenty seven Roastery, when I say go
37:23
buy their coffee, first free in the morning coffee. They're like,
37:27
I don't know, Joe kind of has two faced about
37:31
everything else. Maybe this coffee really isn't very good. So
37:36
my only currency I have is that I'm not going
37:39
to BSU. I get nothing for bsing you. Whether it's
37:44
a candidate, whether it's a product, it doesn't matter. I
37:49
only have a few minutes with you, and I'm not
37:51
going to waste them lying to you. And I'm certainly
37:53
not going to text message about doing anything horrible to you,
37:57
no matter who I'm text messaging with, and especially well,
38:00
if you disagree.
38:01
Speaker 20: With life can change so abruptly.
38:04
Speaker 4: Just ask Paul.
38:05
Speaker 20: He's a hard working entrepreneur, he's young, he's got a
38:08
young family. Suddenly, though, he develops a rare medical condition
38:11
where he lost the use of both of his arms.
38:14
Speaker 14: I could no longer drive a car, couldn't use a computer,
38:16
couldn't type, couldn't use a mouse. I could not hold
38:18
my son, who was about a month old.
38:20
Speaker 20: Paul and his family were facing a mountain of medical bills,
38:23
but they're so thankful that they're members of meta share.
38:27
Speaker 14: I think if someone asked me, like, hey, does medshare
38:30
really work, I'm living proof that it works. My four
38:33
children are living proof that it works. My arms, which
38:36
have been healed, are living proof that menashare works. Just
38:40
knowing the emotional peace of mind, knowing that our needs
38:42
are going to be taken care of when we have
38:44
some type of medical problem, that is such a huge
38:46
blessing to us.
38:47
Speaker 20: It could be a huge blessing to you to people.
38:50
Save so much and love being part of meta Share
38:53
call now eight five five share forty. That's eight five
38:56

39:04
Speaker 6: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
39:08
bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
39:13
am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
39:19
optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
39:23
nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
39:27
reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
39:32
The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
39:37
has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
39:43
cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
39:46
in many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
39:51
healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

Speaker 30: Hiverybody, Jack, Hannah and It's always a boy. Growing up
41:02
on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
41:05
I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
41:07
but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
41:09
birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
41:13
who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
41:15
who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
41:18
for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
41:21
them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
41:23
of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
41:26
best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
41:30
at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
41:33
perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
41:36
at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
41:38
from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
41:42
a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
41:44
variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
41:47
help those in need. So please join me an American
41:50

42:07
Speaker 13: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
42:11
art and brain.
42:12
Speaker 4: Who's with me.
42:13
Speaker 14: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my

42:18
Speaker 15: Somebody call me a ride.
42:20
Speaker 23: Love that guy, me too.
42:21
Speaker 5: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when

42:55
check ducks for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
42:59
to cut energy costs is when you shop for a

Speaker 4: They'll use every imagery they can to try to make
46:05
you think that just regular folk are getting rounded up.
46:09
And every time I see a headline about some regular
46:12
folk getting rounded up some Maryland man, I pause on it,
46:18
because that's always the story that's told to the newsroom,
46:24
and within a day or so, the story either goes
46:28
away or is debunked, and then goes away. Every instance
46:34
of some child that's been wrested from their parents who
46:38
are just here trying to pick your avocados for you,
46:45
every Dreamer that is quasi legal because of machinations of
46:51
the Obama administration, because their parents snuck into the country
46:56
and then said we've got a kid, we can't leave.
47:01
Nobody's ever brought up the child exploitation aspect of that,
47:05
have they. I don't think an attorney has gone in
47:08
on the child exploitation side of that. If you're if
47:13
you're using a child to get yourself citizenship somewhere, I
47:20
don't know. Some child exploitation seems like it hamp down
47:30
on treasure Coast. I don't know if he got a
47:32
piece of all those gold coins founding is that aren't
47:34
the FEDS responsible for their own building. The power is
47:38
not delegated to the United States or by the Constitution,
47:43
nor prohibited to it. Are reserved to the states respectively
47:47
or to the people quoting the tenth Amendment. And he's
47:52
talking about the Portland ruling came down late last night.
47:57
You may not even know it depending on what you're
48:00
what you're doing this morning, even the folks Corvallis and Portland.
48:04
Hopefully you guys heard the story that a judge late
48:09
last night, like right before taking Aralca Selter ruled that
48:15
the it was it's US Code twelve four to h six,
48:24
and the tenth Amendment prohibit the president from sending National
48:29
Guards troops to Oregon, and that's under the president, and
48:35
so hamp you're correct first off in your in your
48:41
depiction of the tenth Amendment. But beyond that is the
48:51
way the case was brought. This is always, you know,
48:54
one part judge shopping, one part case construction. And the
49:04
US Code is the code that outlines conditions the National
49:09
Guard can be called into federal service, and one of
49:19
them is one of the provisions is the inability of
49:23
the President to execute the laws of the United States
49:26
with regular forces. But they're also allowed to be used
49:33
to protect federal property. So if you don't want a
49:42
federal courthouse in your town. And we watched this during
49:46
the Summer of Love and Seattle had its Chaz Chop
49:53
zone and Portland was living under its Summer of Love
49:56
and they were burning courthouses with people in it. By
49:59
the way, no charges of attempted murder ever brought on anyone.
50:12
And the you know, for everyone who talks about j. Jones,
50:15
the Attorney general candidate in Virginia who in twenty twenty two,
50:18
was fantasizing about shooting the Republican head of the House
50:24
of Delegates over believe it or not, over expressing condolences
50:31
at the death of a Democrat member of the House
50:34
of Delegates. Remember we're supposed to be open minded and
50:37
by partisan but J. Jones, thinking that was hypocritical, said
50:42
I want to shoot him, and his kids said that
50:46
hasn't denied it either, says the fact that you know
50:50
about it now makes him sick. Clark's question, I think
50:55
is appropriate, though, does that help or hurt the gubernatorial
51:01
candidate he's running on the quote ticket with they all
51:04
run as individuals in Virginia said she didn't know. She
51:09
certainly doesn't support messaging like that and would never say
51:13
something like that. Didn't call on him to step out
51:16
of the race. Remember she's the one that said let
51:20
your rage fuel you. But it didn't start with these guys.
51:25
It starts in that summer of love. Trump is president
51:29
and damn it, we need to riot. Why what has
51:32
happened to you? There used to be a role. I mean,
51:34
if you needed to fight with somebody, they had to
51:39
have wronged you in some way. What way did Donald
51:42
Trump wrong you. So few of these people have actually
51:47
suffered any ill because of Trump. There's some federal employees
51:54
who live in houses far bigger than the homeless shelter
51:57
you might be regaled to, certainly bigger than that Tampa
52:03
minister's house with the supposed in They say, all these
52:08
people who are doing fundraising calls for this Tampa church, well,
52:12
I guess many Minneapolis church based in Tampa. Is that
52:19
why the vikings games against the Buccaneers always get so
52:23
well attended? Snowbirds? But these bureaucrats and that you're protesting over,
52:31
they don't care about you, and they're not going to
52:33
give you a place to stay in their poolhouse either.
52:37
But you're rioting because a political leader said so. They
52:43
know they're lying to you. They know that your liberties
52:46
are not at stake.
52:51
Speaker 17: A few years.
52:52
Speaker 27: Ago, my youngest son had something minor turned into something
52:56
very major in a matter of hours.
52:57
Speaker 4: It was metiche that came through force.
53:00
Speaker 19: There was no hassles, there was no problem.
53:02
Speaker 27: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
53:05
of such an incredible ministry.
53:07
Speaker 12: Meta share is a biblical approach to healthcare where Christians
53:11
share each other's medical expenses.
53:13
Speaker 5: Medishare is a family, a group of people that stick
53:17
with you through the hardest times of your life.
53:20
Speaker 12: Metashare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over thirty years
53:24
old and members have shared over eight billion dollars of
53:27
each other's medical bills.
53:28
Speaker 1: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
53:31
Speaker 15: You can focus on on supporting other people.
53:33
Speaker 4: Medashare is affordable.
53:35
Speaker 12: Medishare is biblical.
