Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: I'm not violating any laws.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Avoiding prosecution isn't the standard that I was shooting for.
- 0:09Speaker 3: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 0:14Speaker 4: Joe works at.
- 0:15Speaker 2: A steel mill.
- 0:16Speaker 4: He's down here every day.
- 0:19Speaker 5: Leaves for work when the sun comes up. Drops a
- 0:21Speaker 5: kid to school and on the way.
- 0:24Speaker 6: Joe has everything he dreamed of.
- 0:26Speaker 5: All the treasures that he needs.
- 0:28Speaker 7: No wonder Joe's always smiling. He only aims.
- 0:33Speaker 8: To please you.
- 0:37Speaker 2: Bless you for letting me be of service to you
- 0:39Speaker 2: this morning. Target rich environment, full of people doing things
- 0:46Speaker 2: that you just, you knew they were doing it and
- 0:51Speaker 2: yet they still got away with it for years. Like
- 0:53Speaker 2: the group of people that stole $ 12 million in aid
- 0:59Speaker 2: for homelessness. And then you, you, You have the audacity
- 1:04Speaker 2: to call programs like this and say, why are you
- 1:07Speaker 2: against these aid programs? Joe, don't you want to help
- 1:11Speaker 2: the poor? Yes, I do. What I don't want to
- 1:17Speaker 2: do is leave a bag of other people's money unattended
- 1:21Speaker 2: outside the Learing Center in Minneapolis or you name it,
- 1:26Speaker 2: and then feign surprise when people abscond with it. prosecutors
- 1:35Speaker 2: in Southern California, the three defendants worked for or ran
- 1:43Speaker 2: Southern California-based nonprofit organizations, which apparently in California are easy
- 1:49Speaker 2: enough to set up. Helpthepoor.org. It's a function of Help
- 1:56Speaker 2: the Poor 501c3. The nonprofits contract with city, county, state,
- 2:07Speaker 2: and federal agencies to traffic the money for people to supposedly,
- 2:13Speaker 2: allegedly find housing and social services. Three people are under
- 2:19Speaker 2: arrest because they were using these funds, or they are
- 2:24Speaker 2: alleged to have used these funds from these contracts to
- 2:28Speaker 2: pay their own bills. They took bribes from people. and
- 2:34Speaker 2: billed for services that were never provided. Surely not in
- 2:39Speaker 2: the non-profit world. Surely not amongst people who are trying
- 2:44Speaker 2: to help the poor. Yes, that's exactly who it is.
- 2:51Speaker 2: And don't call me Shirley. So that and so much
- 2:55Speaker 2: more coming up for you on this Constitution Day, the
- 2:59Speaker 2: day we celebrate the contract that we signed to allow
- 3:05Speaker 2: these people to run the joint for us. We'll get
- 3:09Speaker 2: into that as well this morning. But our first things.
- 3:13Speaker 2: Congress has gone home. Do you feel better? Right after
- 3:18Speaker 2: passing a broad package of sanctions targeting Russian officials and
- 3:23Speaker 2: then another series of aid programs designed to protect college athletics.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Couldn't pass the SAVE Act before they went home, but
- 3:32Speaker 2: that never let that stand in the way. The sanctions
- 3:39Speaker 2: package passed 262 to 159, bearing the name of late
- 3:44Speaker 2: Senator Lindsey Graham, targeting people who give Vladimir Putin the
- 3:51Speaker 2: money necessary to wage war with Ukraine. But as I said,
- 3:57Speaker 2: Mike Johnson recessed Congress early because Thomas Massey filed impeachment
- 4:03Speaker 2: documents against Pete Hegseth, or at least that's what Tommy
- 4:07Speaker 2: Massey is saying, took to the House floor and said,
- 4:11Speaker 2: I'm trying to get justice for Mumia. No, I'm here
- 4:15Speaker 2: to get justice for the Epstein survivors. I'm trying to
- 4:20Speaker 2: stop a war. Meanwhile, speaking of the war with Iran,
- 4:25Speaker 2: President Trump is expected to meet with Gulf leaders on
- 4:28Speaker 2: the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New
- 4:32Speaker 2: York Tuesday of next week to focus on post-war strategy.
- 4:41Speaker 2: The Federal Reserve raised its benchmark interest rate Wednesday for
- 4:45Speaker 2: the first time since 2023, trying to quell inflation. The
- 4:53Speaker 2: central bank signaled another rate hike could occur later this year.
- 4:59Speaker 2: The Fed's key rate went up to 3.9%, could go
- 5:02Speaker 2: up as high as 4.1%. Mentioned that the Federal Reserve
- 5:13Speaker 2: raised its benchmark rate, it took a hit on Wall
- 5:16Speaker 2: Street where it fell 600 points yesterday. The Fed said
- 5:23Speaker 2: its decision was unanimous and more tightening is likely in
- 5:27Speaker 2: the future. Probably not good news for those in the
- 5:33Speaker 2: stock market right now. And Peter Max, whose colorful pop
- 5:40Speaker 2: art became the basis of the movie Yellow Submarine and
- 5:49Speaker 2: all associated with the flower power movement of the 60s,
- 5:52Speaker 2: died apparently on Monday at the age of 88, complications
- 5:57Speaker 2: due to dementia. You may have heard, I write for
- 6:03Speaker 2: the Daily Signal. Pardon me, I'm going to go blow

- 9:33Speaker 10: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
- 9:37Speaker 10: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
- 9:41Speaker 10: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
- 9:45Speaker 10: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
- 9:49Speaker 10: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
- 9:53Speaker 10: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
- 9:56Speaker 10: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
- 10:00Speaker 10: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.

- 10:10Speaker 10: all their recommended vaccines. Now I'm urging you to speak
- 10:14Speaker 10: with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
- 10:17Speaker 10: For more information about the vaccines that are recommended for
- 10:20Speaker 10: adults and the diseases they prevent, like HPV, whooping cough, tetanus,

- 11:07Speaker 14: By their clothes?
- 11:08Speaker 11: Their age?
- 11:09Speaker 12: The way they speak?
- 11:11Speaker 4: Would you notice a 16-year-old boy who.
- 11:13Speaker 6: Got his first job?
- 11:15Speaker 12: Not for extra spending money, but to help feed his
- 11:17Speaker 12: little sisters.
- 11:19Speaker 11: Or a mother who's in between jobs and sometimes goes
- 11:22Speaker 11: to bed hungry so her kids can have dinner. Or

- 12:42Speaker 6: What's your name?

- 13:11Speaker 3: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 13:16Speaker 3: Don't say anything.
- 13:17Speaker 6: Okay.
- 13:18Speaker 2: I think they mean me there. Good day, eh?
- 13:24Speaker 6: Oh, beauty.
- 13:28Speaker 2: Joe Thomas in the morning. That's how you have to
- 13:31Speaker 2: say it.
- 13:31Speaker 3: Good day and welcome to our signal. I'm Bob McKenzie
- 13:34Speaker 3: and this is my brother Doug.
- 13:36Speaker 16: How's it going, eh?
- 13:38Speaker 9: Beauty, eh?
- 13:40Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that. Art Carney, the Prime Minister of Canada,
- 13:53Speaker 2: is going to the European Union to beg for admission there.
- 13:57Speaker 2: And I was just reading a little bit more, some emails.
- 13:59Speaker 2: You were all triggered by the idea of Canada deciding
- 14:03Speaker 2: that it's in Europe now. But this one I thought
- 14:07Speaker 2: was particularly appropriate. Larry writes in to JTInTheMorningRadio at gmail.com.
- 14:17Speaker 3: Come on, Joe.
- 14:18Speaker 2: Ever since it was determined that Germany would run the
- 14:21Speaker 2: European economies and everything would be run by the Deutschmark,
- 14:25Speaker 2: all bets have been off on the European Union. Who
- 14:28Speaker 2: knows what we fought World War II for? European Union, ironically,
- 14:37Speaker 2: was founded, economically speaking, to keep up with the yen.
- 14:43Speaker 2: To draw your World War II references, because when the
- 14:46Speaker 2: European Union was founded, basically the yen and the dollar
- 14:50Speaker 2: were the big currencies on the planet. The yen is
- 14:57Speaker 2: collapsed pretty quickly. But The European Union has... Remember, my mother,
- 15:07Speaker 2: she worked for a German bank, and she came back,
- 15:10Speaker 2: and somewhere in our pile of stuff, I have one
- 15:14Speaker 2: of the very first euro coins, one euro, whatever it is.
- 15:20Speaker 2: And I said, hold it. England and France, they were
- 15:27Speaker 2: okay with Germany taking over their economic... world and she
- 15:35Speaker 2: said well not so much Britain I said really really
- 15:38Speaker 2: can't imagine why Britain would have a problem with it
- 15:41Speaker 2: and then they flirted with joining it and Brexit and
- 15:45Speaker 2: Nigel Farage who they're still trying to character assassinate but
- 15:53Speaker 2: I guess yes if it's Europe saying you know what
- 15:56Speaker 2: maybe Germany should run the joint after all what's the
- 16:01Speaker 2: point of Canada not being there But I was reading
- 16:05Speaker 2: some of the polling. Yes, they've polled on this. Polling
- 16:14Speaker 2: says four out of five Canadians want to be closer
- 16:24Speaker 2: to Europe. Support for becoming a member state of the
- 16:30Speaker 2: European Union in this survey says 17% strongly support. 32%
- 16:35Speaker 2: somewhat support. That's 49%. Somewhat opposed, 16%. Strongly opposed, 14%.
- 16:40Speaker 2: But 21% don't have an opinion on this. 64% of
- 17:03Speaker 2: Liberal voters support EU membership, as do 50% of NDP voters,
- 17:07Speaker 2: 57% of Bloc Québécois voters, while only 33% of Conservative
- 17:10Speaker 2: voters support it, and 51% are opposed. Regionally, Quebec, no surprise, 55%. Quebec,
- 17:13Speaker 2: I'll bet you if you ask that 55% of the survey.
- 17:32Speaker 2: Respondents in Quebec. The other 45% just want Quebec to
- 17:37Speaker 2: join the European Union. That's the thing with the Quebecois
- 17:48Speaker 2: is that they don't want to be part of Canada either.
- 17:55Speaker 2: So being part of Europe is fine by them. They're like,
- 17:59Speaker 2: as long as we are not part of Canada... They
- 18:05Speaker 2: always butcher the song. But fun and frolic at our
- 18:13Speaker 2: Canadian neighbors. Canada is the first non-European Union country to
- 18:21Speaker 2: join the $ 173 billion defense program that the European Union
- 18:30Speaker 2: has created because the American weapons industry that the administration
- 18:36Speaker 2: in Washington had cut back on for NATO. But Canada
- 18:41Speaker 2: can be part of NATO. I heard somebody, was it
- 18:49Speaker 2: one of the Young Turks? Or maybe it was Candace Owens.
- 18:56Speaker 2: Could have been Tucker Carlson, but I'm pretty sure it
- 18:58Speaker 2: was a female. Well, I mean more female than Tucker Carlson. Said,
- 19:04Speaker 2: referred to the North American Treaty Organization, NATO. I love
- 19:13Speaker 2: the smell of face palm in the morning. It's the
- 19:15Speaker 2: North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and certainly Canada can be part
- 19:19Speaker 2: of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and there's no reason
- 19:24Speaker 2: they shouldn't be. Just pay your fair share, which is,
- 19:30Speaker 2: to be fair, something even more George W. Bush complained
- 19:35Speaker 2: about it, didn't do anything about it. Barack Obama complained
- 19:38Speaker 2: about it, didn't do anything about it. So maybe this
- 19:47Speaker 2: is the deal. Quebec gets to join Europe because it
- 19:52Speaker 2: wants nothing to do with Canada. Alberta gets to become
- 19:57Speaker 2: the 51st state. And then, I don't know, Canada just
- 20:04Speaker 2: sits there and wonders what happened. Or does the rest
- 20:13Speaker 2: of Canada, once the Quebecois are out of their hair,
- 20:18Speaker 2: decide Alberta is right all along? And does the United
- 20:27Speaker 2: States want any other part of Canada besides Alberta? Does
- 20:32Speaker 2: the European Union want anyone? And what about the World
- 20:36Speaker 2: Economic Forum? What do the folks in Davos think of this? Remember,
- 20:42Speaker 2: Art Carney, the prime minister.
- 20:44Speaker 3: Hey, Ralph.
- 20:46Speaker 2: Hey, Ralphie boy. He was the head of the Bank
- 20:52Speaker 2: of Canada. So his Canadian bank boss for the World
- 20:57Speaker 2: Economic Forum. But before that, he was even head of
- 21:00Speaker 2: the Bank of England. One of the reasons Hamilton would
- 21:04Speaker 2: join the U.S. Revolution was because Because he couldn't become
- 21:09Speaker 2: the head of the Bank of England because he had
- 21:11Speaker 2: to be born in England to be the head of
- 21:14Speaker 2: the Bank of England. So Hamilton decided he wanted to
- 21:19Speaker 2: start his own country. On this Constitution Day, it's important
- 21:26Speaker 2: to remember that. Don't forget, tomorrow morning we start giving
- 21:31Speaker 2: away tickets to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert shows in your home. well,

- 22:31Speaker 5: Would your car perform better with premium gas or regular?
- 22:35Speaker 5: What do octane ratings mean? I'm Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor.
- 22:38Speaker 5: Your automotive prescription, right after this.

- 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 premium
- 23:26Speaker 5: or higher octane fuel. And the reason for this is
- 23:29Speaker 5: not just due to the octane rating. There are better
- 23:31Speaker 5: fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know, too,
- 23:35Speaker 5: that 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 tankful, you may
- 23:47Speaker 5: find better performance and miles per gallon because you are
- 23:50Speaker 5: cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive. Just
- 23:53Speaker 5: don't tell your mechanic you're trying to replace them anytime soon.
- 23:56Speaker 5: With your automotive prescription, I'm Ron Anany and the Car Doctor.
- 23:59Speaker 5: See you next time.

- 28:00Speaker 10: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 28:39Speaker 2: So as we celebrate the U.S. Constitution today, Blair writes
- 28:44Speaker 2: in a text message to 434-882-4217. We were talking about
- 28:50Speaker 2: the intransparency of our constitutional amendments. And so often now
- 28:57Speaker 2: what is being put before the voters is fraudulent or
- 29:04Speaker 2: at very least incomplete. And there are fixes for this societally.
- 29:10Speaker 2: Number one, first and foremost, the U.S. Constitution envisioned a
- 29:16Speaker 2: world where the government had a very simple job to
- 29:19Speaker 2: make sure that your God-given rights were protected. And we've
- 29:30Speaker 2: allowed too many instances where that becomes an interpretation where you, yeah,
- 29:42Speaker 2: I violated their rights, but I gave you a lot
- 29:45Speaker 2: of money for your reelection campaign. So look the other way,
- 29:48Speaker 2: would you? Kind of thing. where presidents, in an effort
- 29:58Speaker 2: to create some sort of legacy out of their Marxism,
- 30:03Speaker 2: would jump into bed with an entire industry based on
- 30:07Speaker 2: the idea of not paying for people's health care, but
- 30:12Speaker 2: calling it a health care bill. So Blair writes in
- 30:20Speaker 2: on the subject of this misrepresentative constitutional amendment. He said,
- 30:29Speaker 2: how about we press the Virginia legislature to amend the
- 30:36Speaker 2: constitution in the due process section. So in Virginia, the constitution,
- 30:44Speaker 2: the first section of the constitution is our bill of rights.
- 30:49Speaker 2: It is where George Mason kind of took the bill
- 30:52Speaker 2: of rights from. And Section 11 is called due process.
- 30:57Speaker 2: We have a whole section in our Bill of Rights
- 31:00Speaker 2: regarding due process. And Blair's suggestion is that instead of
- 31:07Speaker 2: this convoluted, misrepresentative amendment that you're going to look at
- 31:15Speaker 2: and say, oh, well, that doesn't seem so bad, Marge.
- 31:20Speaker 2: But it has very little in common with the source material.
- 31:27Speaker 2: And in Virginia's Bill of Rights, due process of law
- 31:32Speaker 2: gets its own segment. Obligation of contracts, taking or damaging
- 31:37Speaker 2: of private property, prohibited discrimination, jury trial in civil cases.
- 31:43Speaker 2: No person shall be deprived of his life, liberty, or
- 31:46Speaker 2: property without due process of law. The General Assembly shall
- 31:51Speaker 2: not pass any law impairing the obligation of contracts, and
- 31:55Speaker 2: that the right to be free from any governmental discrimination
- 31:59Speaker 2: upon basis of religious conviction, race, color, sex, or national
- 32:04Speaker 2: origin shall not be abridged, except that mere separation of
- 32:08Speaker 2: the sexes shall not be considered discrimination. But Blair's suggestion
- 32:16Speaker 2: is to amend that section to include a provision that
- 32:22Speaker 2: We do not view unborn babies as citizens. Therefore, the
- 32:28Speaker 2: due process protection does not attach. You see, Blair, this
- 32:33Speaker 2: is the oldest question in the issue of abortion. Are
- 32:40Speaker 2: you a citizen? Are you a human? When do you
- 32:42Speaker 2: become a human? There are ethicists. in the ivy-covered walls
- 32:50Speaker 2: of New England that will argue you're not technically a
- 32:53Speaker 2: human until long after the Clancy woman ended her children's lives.
- 33:01Speaker 2: I guess a couple of them were older than that,
- 33:03Speaker 2: but this is how you wind up with that chilling
- 33:08Speaker 2: scene of people cheering because she stood up for her
- 33:12Speaker 2: right to kill her own children. And so do you
- 33:20Speaker 2: actually force, because I think what Blair is getting at
- 33:25Speaker 2: is that we're dancing around the reality of are these
- 33:29Speaker 2: people or not? But that's the oldest question in the
- 33:34Speaker 2: abortion argument is when does life begin? Because it's the
- 33:39Speaker 2: essence of a society like the United States to protect life,
- 33:44Speaker 2: to write laws that keep you from losing your life, liberty,
- 33:48Speaker 2: or your pursuit of happiness. Good morning. You're on the
- 33:51Speaker 2: air with Joe first thing this morning. Who's this?
- 33:54Speaker 3: Hello, Joe.
- 33:55Speaker 2: This is Blair. Hang on a second. Blair, we can't
- 33:59Speaker 2: hear you here. There you are. Can you hear me?
- 34:02Speaker 2: I can hear you now. You are a Verizon avatar there.
- 34:06Speaker 2: So I liked your thought on that, forcing the hand.
- 34:10Speaker 6: Let me explain that. That's not my thought. That is
- 34:13Speaker 6: the actual amendment.
- 34:15Speaker 18: And if you do the research and go online to
- 34:17Speaker 18: the legislative interactive, whatever that is, that website from the
- 34:22Speaker 18: state of Virginia, it has the actual language of each
- 34:26Speaker 18: of those amendments.
- 34:27Speaker 6: But, of course, it's not on the actual question.
- 34:30Speaker 16: Right.
- 34:31Speaker 6: And so what that amendment does.
- 34:33Speaker 18: The question one creates 11A adds a section, an exception
- 34:39Speaker 18: to the due process. See, the section 11 says everybody
- 34:44Speaker 18: has due process. You know, you have to find somebody
- 34:46Speaker 18: guilty before you take their.
- 34:48Speaker 6: Life, liberty or property. A baby has only life.
- 34:51Speaker 18: So right now the state says, well, wait a minute,
- 34:55Speaker 18: you can't take the life of that baby, you know,
- 34:58Speaker 18: like during the third trimester. But this amendment says, no,
- 35:02Speaker 18: the mother and the doctor can take the life of
- 35:06Speaker 18: the baby all the way up until, you know.
- 35:08Speaker 6: One second before childbirth. And the doctor.
- 35:12Speaker 18: He only has to justify the third trimester. So the
- 35:15Speaker 18: doctor says the health of the mother or the viability,
- 35:19Speaker 18: which means ability to live of the baby. If he
- 35:23Speaker 18: says those things that he's, he can do the abortion
- 35:26Speaker 18: all the way up to, to birth, to childbirth.
- 35:29Speaker 6: And that's, I didn't really understand that at first.
- 35:32Speaker 18: When I read that and thought about that amendment, why
- 35:35Speaker 18: isn't it section 11?
- 35:36Speaker 6: I thought, you know, the mother has due process. The
- 35:39Speaker 6: doctor has due process. What is the exception?
- 35:42Speaker 18: And that's the unborn baby, because the unborn baby is
- 35:45Speaker 18: not a person. Right now, it is a person at
- 35:48Speaker 18: a certain point, but it won't be all the way
- 35:50Speaker 18: up to childbirth if this amendment passes.
- 35:54Speaker 2: So, because I'm pulling up here, and we've spent quite
- 35:58Speaker 2: a bit of time pointing out that this is as
- 36:02Speaker 2: classic a bait-and-switch as there has ever been, because what
- 36:07Speaker 2: you'll see on the ballot has little.
- 36:11Speaker 2: Connection to what actually the law says. And so the
- 36:19Speaker 2: creation of this subtext, is that by implication or just
- 36:25Speaker 2: because I don't remember it saying, and I don't have
- 36:28Speaker 2: the file right in front of me here, so I'm
- 36:31Speaker 2: trying to pull it up here while we talk. It says.
- 36:35Speaker 6: It says the state compelling.
- 36:37Speaker 2: Interest will be the mother only.
- 36:40Speaker 18: Right now, the state has a compelling interest in the
- 36:43Speaker 18: unborn baby, but it will not if this amendment passes.
- 36:48Speaker 2: Right. This is the first time that anyone has taken
- 36:54Speaker 2: this position that personhood or citizenship doesn't begin until birth.
- 37:02Speaker 18: They don't say that exact words, but that's my interpretation.
- 37:07Speaker 2: Well, if you guarantee to citizens, to humans in the
- 37:13Speaker 2: Commonwealth of Virginia, in this case, protection under the due process,
- 37:17Speaker 2: and you say, except for these people, there's an interesting
- 37:23Speaker 2: constitutional argument because there were other classes of humans that
- 37:28Speaker 2: were not granted due process back in, say, the 1860s, Blair,
- 37:33Speaker 2: that I think you could make a civil rights case
- 37:37Speaker 2: out of this almost as much as you would make
- 37:39Speaker 2: a human life case.
- 37:41Speaker 18: Yeah, but, Joe, that's the purpose of a constitutional amendment.
- 37:44Speaker 18: It says this is not constitutional, so we added this amendment,
- 37:48Speaker 18: so now it is constitutional.
- 37:50Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying?
- 37:51Speaker 21: Right.
- 37:52Speaker 2: No, I get you. I get you. Good grab on that.
- 37:54Speaker 2: I appreciate it, sir. You have a great morning. Good
- 37:56Speaker 2: to hear from you. Okay. Thank you, sir.

- 38:01Speaker 14: Can you believe with all the recent violent protests, looting,
- 38:05Speaker 14: and destruction, some areas are considering either defunding or abolishing
- 38:09Speaker 14: the police? At a time when America's neighborhoods need the
- 38:13Speaker 14: protection of police the most, some elected officials would rather create.
- 38:17Speaker 3: More chaos by playing politics.

- 39:04Speaker 8: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 39:08Speaker 8: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 39:13Speaker 8: I'm Dr.
- 39:14Speaker 10: Mitch.
- 39:15Speaker 8: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation... Our optimized curcumin seems
- 39:20Speaker 8: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 39:24Speaker 8: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 39:29Speaker 8: a key component.
- 39:30Speaker 2: To our overall health.
- 39:32Speaker 8: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 39:37Speaker 8: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent
- 39:42Speaker 8: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer. and
- 39:46Speaker 8: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

- 41:00Speaker 22: Since I was a boy growing up on a farm
- 41:02Speaker 22: in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only
- 41:05Speaker 22: in awe of their beauty and kindness, but also their
- 41:07Speaker 22: tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds who gather
- 41:10Speaker 22: supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes who work hard
- 41:13Speaker 22: to provide for their young, or penguins who travel up
- 41:17Speaker 22: to 500 miles to secure food for their families, or
- 41:19Speaker 22: bush babies whose impressive jump allows them to navigate the
- 41:22Speaker 22: trees and the wild in search of fruit. This remarkable
- 41:25Speaker 22: work ethic is shared by our best friends, the canines.
- 41:28Speaker 22: We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home, but
- 41:31Speaker 22: because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving work
- 41:34Speaker 22: every day Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort
- 41:37Speaker 22: returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They work
- 41:39Speaker 22: with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in their
- 41:42Speaker 22: blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly trained
- 41:45Speaker 22: roles that contribute to society and help those in need.

- 42:04Speaker 12: And now a speech.
- 42:07Speaker 7: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 42:11Speaker 2: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
- 42:13Speaker 7: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
- 42:16Speaker 7: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
- 42:19Speaker 7: call me a ride.
- 42:20Speaker 19: Love that guy.
- 42:21Speaker 6: Me too.
- 42:21Speaker 16: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 42:24Speaker 16: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 42:29Speaker 21: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 42:32Speaker 21: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 42:36Speaker 21: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
- 42:40Speaker 21: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home

- 42:52Speaker 21: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors.
- 42:55Speaker 21: Check ducts for holes and improve your insulation. Another time
- 42:59Speaker 21: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 43:01Speaker 21: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
- 43:04Speaker 21: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 43:08Speaker 21: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 43:11Speaker 21: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
- 43:15Speaker 21: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

- 44:22Speaker 3: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 44:37Speaker 2: You know how I feel about civil rights. You know,
- 44:40Speaker 2: if you allow non-citizens to vote, you violated my civil rights.
- 44:45Speaker 2: And we should be making these cases on this. And
- 44:50Speaker 2: Blair makes a great point. If you're going to say
- 44:54Speaker 2: due process is now suspended for this class of humans,
- 45:00Speaker 2: this class of people, and the point I was making
- 45:04Speaker 2: is let's force the issue. Let's finally stop dancing around
- 45:08Speaker 2: this campfire and actually come down and say, now the
- 45:12Speaker 2: issue is that it keeps changing. Life becomes changing. so
- 45:19Speaker 2: much earlier in pregnancy than it ever has before between
- 45:25Speaker 2: NICU units and that kind of thing that what used
- 45:29Speaker 2: to be long before a viable pregnancy existed now very
- 45:34Speaker 2: easily viable. And then you would, of course, drag insurance
- 45:41Speaker 2: companies into it who would say, no, we don't want
- 45:44Speaker 2: to cover those things because they're not entities. Politicians, as
- 45:51Speaker 2: I've said before, you want to see politicians in a
- 45:56Speaker 2: land rush to protect the unborn. Give them a proxy vote.
- 46:01Speaker 2: Give each mother a proxy vote. They'd hate it in
- 46:06Speaker 2: the liberal worlds because the only families that are having
- 46:09Speaker 2: children are conservative ones. So you'd give every conservative woman
- 46:15Speaker 2: for Trump mama, every Caroline Leavitt would have a proxy
- 46:24Speaker 2: vote for her children. And all the left-wingers who are,
- 46:29Speaker 2: you know, oh, no, it's a climate change thing and everything,
- 46:33Speaker 2: they would still only just get that one vote. But
- 46:37Speaker 2: you would find politicians defending those unborn because really, not
- 46:41Speaker 2: to sound crass, the only thing they care about is
- 46:43Speaker 2: getting a vote. And the unborn child is 18 years
- 46:48Speaker 2: removed from ever being able to cast a vote for anyone.
- 46:53Speaker 2: So why should they waste all their time about it
- 46:58Speaker 2: and get into all the wranglings over when life begins?
- 47:03Speaker 2: But if you're going to take away someone's due process
- 47:06Speaker 2: because of their membership in a specific class of humans.
- 47:10Speaker 2: We've done this before, and we were wrong then too.
- 47:15Speaker 2: Tomorrow morning, I'm going to visit with one of the
- 47:18Speaker 2: folks campaigning against this idea. And understand, this is a
- 47:22Speaker 2: test case here in Virginia, both on the punishing of
- 47:27Speaker 2: people who do not comply with gay marriage, And I
- 47:35Speaker 2: mean that, you know, in to and of the sense,
- 47:38Speaker 2: you know, like the baker in Colorado. If you deny
- 47:45Speaker 2: service to someone, if you decline to marry someone, you
- 47:49Speaker 2: could be punished for it. Now, I'm told that the
- 47:54Speaker 2: patron of the bill, Pinky, swore on the floor of
- 47:57Speaker 2: the Virginia General Assembly that wouldn't happen. But Virginia being
- 48:01Speaker 2: such a purple state that had at the time of
- 48:04Speaker 2: some of this stuff, had a Republican governor. So we're
- 48:09Speaker 2: the test case. We're the litmus test. It would be
- 48:13Speaker 2: one thing to pass this in Oregon or California or
- 48:16Speaker 2: some left-wing loony state, J.B. Pritzker in Illinois or New York,
- 48:23Speaker 2: some loony lefty state. Oh, sure, okay, you passed it.
- 48:27Speaker 2: But if you pass this kind of stuff in Virginia...
- 48:31Speaker 2: Now it becomes Johnny bar the door. What does Texas
- 48:34Speaker 2: or Oklahoma or Florida have to say about it? Because,
- 48:40Speaker 2: you know, if Virginia did it, what the heck? But
- 48:46Speaker 2: Blair's point about, you know, it's a due process issue.
- 48:49Speaker 2: They've found this dark place where they can say, you know,
- 48:54Speaker 2: we have a special class of people that we will
- 48:56Speaker 2: not give due process to. And I think you can
- 49:01Speaker 2: use this as a fulcrum to force them to say, why?
- 49:05Speaker 2: Why is this group of people not afforded due process?
- 49:11Speaker 2: And then you get them on record. Our friend James
- 49:14Speaker 2: Luck is on the phone with us at jcsgold.com, where
- 49:18Speaker 2: he's getting ready to start what I'm sure is a
- 49:20Speaker 2: busy day. I know Wall Street took a hit yesterday
- 49:23Speaker 2: with the Fed rate increase. James, how did gold and
- 49:26Speaker 2: silver do?
- 49:28Speaker 6: Yeah, gold and silver are in the strong so far
- 49:30Speaker 6: this morning, Joe.
- 49:31Speaker 23: Gold and silver had a little bit of a roller
- 49:33Speaker 23: coaster yesterday afternoon when the Fed was Announcing their rate hike,
- 49:37Speaker 23: but gold and silver are in the green so far
- 49:40Speaker 23: this morning. Gold is up one and a third percent,
- 49:42Speaker 23: up $ 58 to $ 4, 321. Found some support yesterday and bounce.
- 49:49Speaker 23: And the same story with silver, up almost 2% today
- 49:52Speaker 23: to $ 64.
- 49:52Speaker 9: 10.
- 49:52Speaker 24: So all those folks over the last couple of days
- 49:56Speaker 24: who are taking the discount and saying, oh, I can
- 49:58Speaker 24: buy a couple of more ounces, they have done pretty
- 50:02Speaker 24: well from themselves.
- 50:03Speaker 2: They're James Brown. And when people go to jcsgold.com, they
- 50:08Speaker 2: can purchase right there online with so many products. But
- 50:13Speaker 2: if they are unsure if they should, that's why I
- 50:16Speaker 2: suggest they call you guys at 434-979-COIN after 10 a.m. Eastern,
- 50:24Speaker 2: because it's really a discussion point. You don't just do
- 50:27Speaker 2: something because all your friends are doing it, right? I'm
- 50:30Speaker 2: sure your mom told you that. If all your friends
- 50:33Speaker 2: go to their free bridge and jump into the Rivanna river.
- 50:36Speaker 2: Would you do it too? Um, I'm sure, I'm sure
- 50:40Speaker 2: you heard that somewhere along the line. I sure did.
- 50:44Speaker 6: And you're exactly right.
- 50:46Speaker 23: If you've never bought gold or silver before and you
- 50:50Speaker 23: want to know more about it, but you don't necessarily
- 50:52Speaker 23: know the ins and outs of it, then definitely give
- 50:55Speaker 23: us a call and I can walk you through it.
- 50:57Speaker 23: And we can figure out what really is the best
- 51:01Speaker 23: gold and silver bullion product for you and what fits
- 51:04Speaker 23: your budget and what makes the most sense for your
- 51:06Speaker 23: investment portfolio, because everyone is different. And we're here to
- 51:09Speaker 23: help our clients figure that out.
- 51:11Speaker 2: And, you know, We're doing our Christmas giveaway. And by
- 51:15Speaker 2: the way, if you're in the Charlottesville area, you can
- 51:17Speaker 2: go in. I've got to stop by and give them
- 51:20Speaker 2: their enter to win signs at JCS Gold's headquarters here
- 51:24Speaker 2: in Charlottesville. But Christmas, not too far off for a
- 51:28Speaker 2: lot of people. Do you expect Christmas rounds, those great
- 51:33Speaker 2: ornament investments to be back this year, James?
- 51:38Speaker 6: We do.
- 51:38Speaker 23: We actually that started to come up just this week
- 51:42Speaker 23: about ordering those and picking out the designs that we
- 51:45Speaker 23: want to have in stock this year.
- 51:47Speaker 6: So it's in the works right now. And of course,
- 51:50Speaker 6: we'll keep you posted when when those show up.
- 51:52Speaker 2: I mean, you can't escape it. You go into any
- 51:55Speaker 2: of these big box stores. They all have the Christmas.
- 51:58Speaker 2: I'm looking for Halloween and it's like, oh, no, we
- 52:01Speaker 2: took the Halloween stuff down like back at the end
- 52:04Speaker 2: of August. What is going on? But anyway, get with
- 52:08Speaker 2: these folks. 434-979-COIN. You have a blessed morning, James.

- 52:20Speaker 2: Text messages come into there as well. Due process. On
- 52:28Speaker 2: Constitution Day, one of the most important things, because George
- 52:31Speaker 2: III certainly didn't stand in the... land of due process
- 52:36Speaker 2: for all these little people there. And it's one of
- 52:40Speaker 2: the places we have failed miserably in the years since
- 52:48Speaker 2: September 17th, 1787.
- 52:51Speaker 16: You know, it's true.
- 52:52Speaker 20: Difficult times have a way of focusing us. We have
