- 0:42Speaker 3: We'll tell you what we see in our analysis of
- 0:45Speaker 3: the debris field. And then, most importantly, because you are
- 0:49Speaker 3: the single most important local aspect of your radio station,
- 0:54Speaker 3: I want to hear how it's impacting you where you
- 0:56Speaker 3: are at four three four eight eight two four two
- 1:00Speaker 3: one seven, Text message or phone call to that much
- 1:05Speaker 3: like a teenage girl. We'll text all morning if we
- 1:07Speaker 3: have to, but that's how I want to hear from you.
- 1:11Speaker 3: Or you can email to JT in the Morning Radio
- 1:15Speaker 3: at gmail dot com. As the Christmas season becomes more
- 1:21Speaker 3: and more tangible, we're going to be on location for
- 1:25Speaker 3: a good bit of next week because we are going
- 1:29Speaker 3: to the Trans Siberian Orchestra show next Thursday on Long
- 1:34Speaker 3: Island at the IBS Now Sorry Ubs Arena. Just think
- 1:39Speaker 3: about that when you're in Belmont, Queens. But we'll be
- 1:43Speaker 3: there for the show. We should stop by our affiliate
- 1:47Speaker 3: out there, WRCN. I mean, it's been some twenty five
- 1:52Speaker 3: odd years since I've broadcasted from a WRCN studio. It'd
- 1:55Speaker 3: be nice to say that a nice spot out.
- 1:57Speaker 6: At at MacArthur Airport.
- 2:00Speaker 3: You probably have to go through TSA to get into it,
- 2:02Speaker 3: though that's a secure studio. I don't care who you're
- 2:06Speaker 3: talking about right there, but Christmas season becoming real Christmas parties.
- 2:12Speaker 3: Christmas parties run awry, especially when people are.
- 2:16Speaker 6: Like, oh, you're that guy that says you know and prickly.
- 2:19Speaker 3: Interoffice stuff can always get you into trouble, especially if
- 2:24Speaker 3: people want to have a debate. So practice up the phrase,
- 2:29Speaker 3: now isn't the time for this, We're celebrating.
- 2:32Speaker 6: Baby Jesus' birth, because if.
- 2:36Speaker 3: They think that's controversial, then any debate you're going to
- 2:40Speaker 3: have with them is probably going to be short lived anyway.
- 2:46Speaker 3: And this is where you have to understand the unhinged
- 2:50Speaker 3: part of the American left that you know, generally driven
- 2:55Speaker 3: by this viewpoint of the individual over God, that this
- 3:01Speaker 3: time of year is really hard for them because all
- 3:04Speaker 3: of us who understand with humility where we are in
- 3:08Speaker 3: the hierarchy. They it's just it's it's tough for them
- 3:17Speaker 3: to understand how somebody can believe that they are subservient
- 3:22Speaker 3: to a greater power and yet can still be individuals.
- 3:25Speaker 3: They just don't understand, and so you have to at
- 3:30Speaker 3: least accept and and pity to a degree, but I
- 3:33Speaker 3: mean not in a dismissive way. You want to be
- 3:36Speaker 3: the person who's the great example. Grew up in a
- 3:40Speaker 3: world that taught you either you try to be a
- 3:44Speaker 3: good example or at very least a horrific warning, a
- 3:49Speaker 3: cautionary tale is what you need to be. But that's
- 3:52Speaker 3: how we begin this Saturday morning across the talk media network.
- 3:56Speaker 3: A blessing for you to have me along for this
- 3:59Speaker 3: morning ride, because Saturdays are just like any other day.
- 4:02Speaker 3: We must begin with our first things. So much going on.
- 4:06Speaker 3: In a bizarre rally, Nicholas Meduro in Caracas said he
- 4:13Speaker 3: would smash the teeth of the North American Empire amid
- 4:17Speaker 3: tensions with Washington, and then everyone's saying Bobby McFerrin's don't worry,
- 4:24Speaker 3: be happy. There was a horrific attack at Macy's in
- 4:30Speaker 3: New York City. The woman who stabbed another woman in
- 4:34Speaker 3: the back as she changed her baby has now testified
- 4:37Speaker 3: to police that she was released from a psychiatric hospital
- 4:41Speaker 3: just hours before the attack. Carrie Ahearn, forty three year old,
- 4:47Speaker 3: stab day an unnamed California woman Thursday. The California woman
- 4:52Speaker 3: has been released from Bellevue Hospital, which ironically at one
- 4:56Speaker 3: point was a mental institution in the area. But Carrie
- 5:00Speaker 3: Ahern said she had been in a psychiatric hospital, released
- 5:06Speaker 3: and then claimed the voices came back into her head
- 5:09Speaker 3: saying she had to kill someone. The Department of Homeland
- 5:13Speaker 3: Security has amended its immigration enforcement operations, according to a report,
- 5:18Speaker 3: by moving away from large scale raids targeting all illegal
- 5:22Speaker 3: immigrants and focusing on ones who have committed serious offenses.
- 5:27Speaker 3: According to a report, under a Border Patrol Commander at Large,
- 5:31Speaker 3: Gregory Bovino, lawmakers and legal community are raising questions about
- 5:37Speaker 3: a Minnesota judge who overturned a unanimous jury verdict of
- 5:42Speaker 3: a seven point two million dollar medicaid fraud case. Experts
- 5:46Speaker 3: say this has been rarely seen in Minnesota white collar prosecutions.
- 5:51Speaker 3: The Senate failed to get anywhere with healthcare extensions for
- 5:56Speaker 3: subsidies last week, and the House seeker Mike Johnson has
- 6:01Speaker 3: unveiled a Republican plan that could keep the subsidies in place.
- 6:06Speaker 3: Late Friday, House Republicans put out a one hundred plus
- 6:14Speaker 3: page package centered on long standing GOP priorities while extending
- 6:21Speaker 3: temporarily the subsidies for premiums in The priorities include expanding
- 6:28Speaker 3: employers sponsored insurance options and increasing oversight of pharmacy benefit managers.
- 6:35Speaker 3: And President Trump signaled that he is leaning towards tabbing
- 6:39Speaker 3: Kevin Worsh or Kevin Hasset to lead the Federal Reserve
- 6:44Speaker 3: next year as he pushes for lower and lower interest rates.
- 6:47Speaker 6: He also said that he.
- 6:49Speaker 3: Would revive a decade's old, ignored tradition of the Fed
- 6:54Speaker 3: Chief checking with.
- 6:55Speaker 6: The President on the rates. And those are our first
- 6:58Speaker 6: things this Saturday.
- 7:01Speaker 7: Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
- 7:04Speaker 7: people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
- 7:07Speaker 7: to look into. And that's meta share. Maybe you've heard
- 7:10Speaker 7: joining meta share can save you or your family up
- 7:13Speaker 7: to five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge, but
- 7:16Speaker 7: it's also true. People are just happier with it. They
- 7:18Speaker 7: love being part of something that reflects and promotes their
- 7:21Speaker 7: values and what they believe in. Meta Share works too.
- 7:24Speaker 7: It's been around for thirty years now and members have
- 7:27Speaker 7: shared more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills.
- 7:31Speaker 7: People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO networks.
- 7:35Speaker 7: So yeah, really, you can save a ton and like
- 7:37Speaker 7: it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
- 7:40Speaker 7: of your health care, whether you're self employed or part
- 7:42Speaker 7: of the gig economy, or you just want to plan
- 7:44Speaker 7: that you're happy with.

- 8:04Speaker 9: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 8:13Speaker 9: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 9: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:32Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:37Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46Speaker 9: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51Speaker 9: healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

- 9:58Speaker 11: Hi everybody, I'm Jackham. It's always a boy growing up
- 10:01Speaker 11: on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 11: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 11: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:09Speaker 11: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 11: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 10:15Speaker 11: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 10:18Speaker 11: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21Speaker 11: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 10:23Speaker 11: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 10:26Speaker 11: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 10:29Speaker 11: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 10:32Speaker 11: perform life saving work every day.
- 10:34Speaker 12: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
- 10:36Speaker 11: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTSS.
- 10:39Speaker 11: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
- 10:42Speaker 11: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
- 10:44Speaker 11: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
- 10:47Speaker 11: in need. So please join me an American Humane and
- 10:50Speaker 11: supporting our heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals

- 13:12Speaker 1: Absolute First thing Today by Joe Thomas on the TNK
- 13:16Speaker 1: Media Network.
- 13:20Speaker 3: Getting ready for the Christmas season. Yeah, we say it.
- 13:24Speaker 3: We're a safe zone from this. This email comes in
- 13:27Speaker 3: for Maureen, says Joe, my holiday party where I work
- 13:32Speaker 3: isn't going to be until January.
- 13:35Speaker 2: What up with that?
- 13:37Speaker 1: You know?
- 13:37Speaker 3: Honestly, I recalled the first time that confronted me. Oh gosh,
- 13:47Speaker 3: I think it was the nineteen ninety six or nineteen
- 13:49Speaker 3: ninety seven. It was the first time I was involved
- 13:52Speaker 3: with an organization that held their holiday celebration in January.
- 13:57Speaker 3: And I can tell you WHYATT did that, because it
- 14:01Speaker 3: was way less expensive to get the room and you know,
- 14:06Speaker 3: more count your blessings. You work for an organization large
- 14:09Speaker 3: enough to even have one of those things anymore. Most
- 14:13Speaker 3: places are so fragmented and decentralized. You've got two or
- 14:17Speaker 3: three people in an office, you know, a couple of
- 14:20Speaker 3: cubicles and a coffee maker. So somebody brings in, you know,
- 14:23Speaker 3: donuts from Krispy Kreme and and they exchange ugly sweaters
- 14:30Speaker 3: or something, and you know, and it's really sad because
- 14:34Speaker 3: I think we've lost that. It may be a symptom correlation,
- 14:41Speaker 3: not causation, of the bigger problem regarding Christmas and humanity
- 14:49Speaker 3: and secularism and this idea that you know, we're all
- 14:53Speaker 3: looking for celebrations, but we're not looking for anything to
- 14:57Speaker 3: celebrate the Marines that make any sense to you. Our
- 15:01Speaker 3: friends at jcsgold dot com support the cause. And I'm
- 15:05Speaker 3: telling you yesterday James Locke told us that silver and
- 15:10Speaker 3: I think when we launched this program, silver was still
- 15:12Speaker 3: twenty dollars in change. It's now sixty one dollars and
- 15:16Speaker 3: ninety five cents as we sit here. Now gold is
- 15:19Speaker 3: trading at forty three hundred dollars now. It's if you
- 15:23Speaker 3: go to jcsgold dot com you can see that, James.
- 15:27Speaker 3: It's amazing stuff for silver, isn't it.
- 15:29Speaker 18: No, And in seger and price discovery mode, and I
- 15:33Speaker 18: think the next step is the moon.
- 15:35Speaker 3: And that's after a rate cut at the FED, and
- 15:38Speaker 3: you know, it is trying to, you know, bring the
- 15:40Speaker 3: American dollar supply under control in gold and silver. It's
- 15:45Speaker 3: still can continue. I mean, you know, at this rate,
- 15:48Speaker 3: we're going to have to start calling them cryptocurrency, James,
- 15:51Speaker 3: and unlike that with tongue out of cheek for a moment.
- 15:55Speaker 3: This this is the kind of stuff where you know,
- 15:57Speaker 3: when crypto speculator get this kind of a bump, they
- 16:01Speaker 3: just expect the crash to come.
- 16:03Speaker 6: At some point.
- 16:04Speaker 3: Some guy will be caught, you know, I don't know,
- 16:07Speaker 3: embezzling funds in some crypto bank, and all the cryptocurrencies
- 16:11Speaker 3: will go back down to like five cents on the
- 16:15Speaker 3: I guess digit.
- 16:17Speaker 6: But gold and silver never does that.
- 16:18Speaker 3: I mean, they have their little ups and downs, but
- 16:21Speaker 3: you can check graphs at jcsgold dot com and see
- 16:25Speaker 3: it's just tracking up all the way since since time begins.
- 16:31Speaker 18: Yeah, and so far this year, golden the golden silver
- 16:34Speaker 18: chart really does look like a crypto chart the way
- 16:37Speaker 18: that they have shot up. And and the main thing
- 16:41Speaker 18: is that the market cap of gold is so large
- 16:45Speaker 18: that you know, individuals don't move the market of gold,
- 16:49Speaker 18: Hedge funds don't move the market of gold, but sovereign
- 16:52Speaker 18: governments do.
- 16:53Speaker 9: Uh.
- 16:53Speaker 6: And so that is a clear indication.
- 16:55Speaker 18: That governments around the world have been turning to gold
- 16:59Speaker 18: and investing heavily in gold and restocking their stockpiles. You know,
- 17:05Speaker 18: world governments move the gold market, and that it's been
- 17:08Speaker 18: very clear so far in twenty twenty five that the
- 17:10Speaker 18: world is piling up on gold. And if the governments
- 17:13Speaker 18: are doing that, that means that you and I should
- 17:17Speaker 18: be doing that as well.
- 17:18Speaker 6: Well.
- 17:18Speaker 3: This is the kind of advice you get from a
- 17:20Speaker 3: family business when you call them. You don't get a
- 17:22Speaker 3: call center. You don't get somebody who's judged on their
- 17:25Speaker 3: work product on a commission. It's a family that wants
- 17:28Speaker 3: to help you get into this business that they've been
- 17:31Speaker 3: in since nineteen sixty one, James, and still just making
- 17:35Speaker 3: sure before we head into a busy weekend. Christmas is
- 17:38Speaker 3: getting close. You said, next week is pretty much the
- 17:41Speaker 3: deadline if you want to get one of these Christmas
- 17:43Speaker 3: rounds before the holidays get here.
- 17:47Speaker 6: They still have enough on stock right now.
- 17:51Speaker 18: Yeah, they're still in stock, although I will say that
- 17:54Speaker 18: supply is getting pretty low. I was looking. We were
- 17:58Speaker 18: kind of had some limited desig yesterday. We're trying to
- 18:03Speaker 18: you know, slowly, you know, make sure that we hold
- 18:05Speaker 18: a couple back just for those last minute emergency cases.
- 18:09Speaker 18: But supply is getting pretty low.
- 18:11Speaker 19: So if you are thinking.
- 18:12Speaker 18: About getting one, I would go ahead and go to
- 18:14Speaker 18: jcsgold dot com and check that out today before it's.
- 18:17Speaker 3: Gone open twenty four to seven on the world wide
- 18:21Speaker 3: web at jcsgold dot com. James, you have an awesome weekend,
- 18:26Speaker 3: and thank you sir, and we'll talk to you again
- 18:29Speaker 3: on Monday.
- 18:30Speaker 6: Thanks you know you too, so can we.
- 18:34Speaker 3: Somebody noted this to me My wife and many American
- 18:39Speaker 3: moms especially hold a special place for the sons of Diana.
- 18:47Speaker 3: They always have. And every time I say that, I
- 18:51Speaker 3: just I look at William and I know that his dad,
- 18:57Speaker 3: the King of England, just updated some cancer diagnosis and
- 19:00Speaker 3: they're going to start reducing the doesn't mean he's getting better, folks,
- 19:05Speaker 3: just means they're backing off some of the cancer treatments.
- 19:09Speaker 6: You're hopeful.
- 19:10Speaker 3: I mean, as somebody who battled cancer myself, you know,
- 19:14Speaker 3: you have that moment when the doctor says, let's sit
- 19:16Speaker 3: down and talk about next year. And as a matter
- 19:22Speaker 3: of fact, I mean this is an anniversary sort of.
- 19:24Speaker 3: It was the Saturday before Christmas when I went into
- 19:29Speaker 3: the hospital and they discovered my giant lymph gland just one,
- 19:35Speaker 3: just one. It's a real weird you know, if you're
- 19:37Speaker 3: an oncologist, like he only had one yep, yep, very
- 19:42Speaker 3: unusual form of lymphoma. But whatever the Prince is battling,
- 19:46Speaker 3: whatever the King is battling, is I look at William,
- 19:50Speaker 3: and I look at Harry, and Harry gosh, can you
- 19:54Speaker 3: open an Internet account right now? Can you go to
- 19:57Speaker 3: a web page and not get a pop up ad
- 19:59Speaker 3: about so social media platform promoting Harry and Meghan. One
- 20:06Speaker 3: of these two has got a whole bunch of William
- 20:09Speaker 3: the conqueror in him. And I always tell people when
- 20:13Speaker 3: they have these this fixation on the British monarchy and
- 20:16Speaker 3: the British Oh.
- 20:17Speaker 6: Oh, it's so the royal family, the royals.
- 20:22Speaker 3: You know, if we had a king like James or George,
- 20:31Speaker 3: you know, we revolted because the king was nuts. Because
- 20:36Speaker 3: the king was nuts and was ignoring Magna carta. In
- 20:40Speaker 3: many cases, that was the whole point of the Declaration
- 20:43Speaker 3: of Independence in the first place.
- 20:45Speaker 6: It's why.
- 20:48Speaker 3: Parliament, you know, immediately started looking into it. Yeah, it
- 20:53Speaker 3: didn't pass right away, but eventually we won the day after.
- 20:57Speaker 6: We fought and fought and fought and fought.
- 21:01Speaker 3: But all you need is that he's you know, William's
- 21:05Speaker 3: got that veneer of Oh I'm the responsible, Harry's the
- 21:09Speaker 3: crazy ginger and all that whatnot. I just I look
- 21:15Speaker 3: at William like, how angry are you still about how
- 21:18Speaker 3: your mother's life ended? Because it's he talked to somebody
- 21:25Speaker 3: whose mother died when they were very young. They don't
- 21:29Speaker 3: let go of that stuff. And it's not easy and
- 21:31Speaker 3: it's understandable I'm not saying it's wrong. I just wonder,
- 21:35Speaker 3: you know, Williams starts going, you know, we were a
- 21:38Speaker 3: much better country when we had the empire. Let's start
- 21:41Speaker 3: getting these places back. Start with Jamaica, you know, or
- 21:45Speaker 3: something like that. It's just I worry about it. But
- 21:48Speaker 3: my wife's like, I'm sick and tired of Meghan Markle.
- 21:51Speaker 3: I think you know many people are sick and tired
- 21:53Speaker 3: of Megan Markle. And I like the show Suits, and
- 21:57Speaker 3: she won't watch it with me because Megan Markle senate.

- 24:37Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:42Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and

- 28:30Speaker 23: as cudley as a cactus. You're as charming as an eel,
- 28:34Speaker 23: mister g One of my favorite parts banana with the
- 28:41Speaker 23: greasy black.
- 28:43Speaker 3: My favorite parts of a movie that nobody likes. I
- 28:46Speaker 3: actually found enjoyment in watching the movie Frosted. Was I
- 28:51Speaker 3: forget the British actors and all the rom coms of
- 28:55Speaker 3: Ferris Bueller's Diary or whatever, playing thorough Ravenscroft, and it
- 29:03Speaker 3: is just it's a wonderful turn. And I don't know,
- 29:06Speaker 3: maybe I'm just easy going and I can find enjoyment
- 29:09Speaker 3: and everything.
- 29:09Speaker 2: Everyone's like, you like that movie, Oh my god, it
- 29:12Speaker 2: was awful.
- 29:15Speaker 3: And I can see why people would say Frosted was awful.
- 29:18Speaker 3: But I thought it was it was a neat send
- 29:21Speaker 3: up of, uh, you know, the theme of the year,
- 29:27Speaker 3: which was, you know, these big dramatic recreations of history
- 29:31Speaker 3: and you know, Oppenheimer and all that. I thought it
- 29:34Speaker 3: was in the world of satire and you know that,
- 29:37Speaker 3: you know, I satirized for your protection. I thought Frosted was.
- 29:42Speaker 3: It was a neat kind of bring back to Earth
- 29:45Speaker 3: moment for Oppenheimer. But many people even couldn't get past
- 29:50Speaker 3: the kind of kitchiness of it.
- 29:51Speaker 6: But that's okay.
- 29:53Speaker 3: But more importantly, the grinches are on the march. This
- 29:56Speaker 3: postal worker was reading about this postal worker and my
- 30:02Speaker 3: best friend in the world went through postal worker training
- 30:06Speaker 3: or the test used to have to take back when
- 30:11Speaker 3: they were so desperate to before they were so desperate
- 30:14Speaker 3: to find postal workers, they actually gave you a test
- 30:17Speaker 3: to see if you qualified to be a postal worker,
- 30:20Speaker 3: and maybe we need to go back to it. Clerk
- 30:23Speaker 3: at a Long Island post office is stealing gift cards
- 30:27Speaker 3: out of the mail. Ray Tierney, Suffolk, DA announced, Giovanni
- 30:33Speaker 3: Jamos is it? Jemmelson Lewis Jamison me clean, clean my
- 30:42Speaker 3: glasses off here a little bit. Giovanni Jamison Lewis, thirty
- 30:46Speaker 3: five year old, was caught on surveillance video opening up
- 30:50Speaker 3: envelopes of outgoing mail in Oakdale. Each envelope contained greeting
- 30:56Speaker 3: cards and gifts for the intended recipient.
- 30:59Speaker 6: TJ.
- 30:59Speaker 3: Matt New York State Lottery scratch off tickets. And then
- 31:04Speaker 3: we hear in our flagship city, we've got a guy
- 31:06Speaker 3: who's going around parking lots saying, Hey, I'm raising some
- 31:11Speaker 3: money for my son's medical treatments. Can you help me out?
- 31:15Speaker 3: And in people bless their heart. It's the spirit of
- 31:18Speaker 3: Christmas and everything. And they went and they, you know,
- 31:22Speaker 3: gave the guy, you know, some credit card information. He's like, oh,
- 31:25Speaker 3: I've got a Venmo thing or whatever, and they zap it.
- 31:28Speaker 3: And the guy was trying to spend five six thousand
- 31:31Speaker 3: dollars on you know, Christmas purchases. And I understand people
- 31:36Speaker 3: are feeling kind of on the on the rev limitter
- 31:41Speaker 3: over the cost of some things at Christmas time, but man,
- 31:45Speaker 3: are we missing the boat on the season. And I
- 31:50Speaker 3: mean in general, but I mean just to open up
- 31:52Speaker 3: people's cards. What are you going to take their Social
- 31:54Speaker 3: Security check too? It's a good thing. Mail fraud which
- 31:59Speaker 3: this guy is charged with, and tampering with the US
- 32:02Speaker 3: mail is a hard time. It's you know, twenty to
- 32:06Speaker 3: thirty and elevenworth or at least ten to twenty in Woolworth.
- 32:10Speaker 3: The grinches are on the March, but they are every day,
- 32:14Speaker 3: and it gets worse every year because we we don't
- 32:17Speaker 3: talk about Christmas and why it's important. And sure you
- 32:21Speaker 3: may need money, but you know, so does somebody else.
- 32:25Speaker 3: And this jealousy complex that we're developing in this country
- 32:29Speaker 3: of well, these people have the money to send gift
- 32:32Speaker 3: cards to their loved ones, I'm going to take them
- 32:34Speaker 3: because I need it more. And that may be true.
- 32:38Speaker 3: But they're working. You're working, you're collecting a salary. There
- 32:42Speaker 3: are people who are trying to find a insulated refrigerator
- 32:47Speaker 3: box to sleep in and you're worried about. It's just
- 32:51Speaker 3: we have come off the rails. Every day becomes a
- 32:54Speaker 3: new example of it. And I don't know how I
- 32:56Speaker 3: keep a smile on my face, but I do because
- 32:59Speaker 3: I know what God has gifted us to do. And
- 33:02Speaker 3: I'm not Sunrise Sermoneta or anything. But you hear these
- 33:05Speaker 3: stories and you're just like, I don't want to get
- 33:06Speaker 3: out of bed. I hear you play it. Let me
- 33:09Speaker 3: get to you at four three four eight eight two
- 33:11Speaker 3: four two one seven.
- 33:13Speaker 6: You're on with Joe. First thing this morning. Who's this?
- 33:17Speaker 19: Good morning, Joe.
- 33:18Speaker 6: It's Joel. Joel. How are you doing, sir?
- 33:21Speaker 19: I'm okay, still plugging away almost four months of and
- 33:26Speaker 19: I and you know what they did to me in Florida.
- 33:28Speaker 19: They made me reapply for unemployment and it's basically less
- 33:33Speaker 19: than two sixty five a week. And I only had
- 33:36Speaker 19: out of these two months where I was eligible to
- 33:39Speaker 19: out of the two of the three I was only
- 33:41Speaker 19: I got one week. And then for some reason, they
- 33:44Speaker 19: revamped their system and then now I'm having to reapply
- 33:49Speaker 19: and they go, oh, well you can. You can be
- 33:51Speaker 19: eligible again right at Christmas.
- 33:53Speaker 3: So anyway, but you know what a time but that's
- 33:57Speaker 3: what happens when bureaucracy strike that, you know where so
- 34:02Speaker 3: many of the folks in the audience pray for you, Joel.
- 34:05Speaker 3: They want to see you where they know there are
- 34:07Speaker 3: places in the world that need nurses and and they
- 34:10Speaker 3: hope you find one of them, because it is it
- 34:13Speaker 3: is an industry, or it is a calling that is
- 34:15Speaker 3: in short supply in a lot of places and more
- 34:18Speaker 3: and more important. And I believe, you know, the hell
- 34:20Speaker 3: with the Republican proposal on extending Obamacare subsidies. One of
- 34:25Speaker 3: the things that we need to get back into in
- 34:28Speaker 3: the healthcare industry are the importance of individual doctors and nurses,
- 34:33Speaker 3: not employees of big conglomerates and that sort of thing.
- 34:37Speaker 3: Is this the doctor or a nurse who says, hey,
- 34:41Speaker 3: come here, I'll give me fifty bucks, I'll take a
- 34:43Speaker 3: look at what's you know, why your shoulder hurts, and
- 34:46Speaker 3: we can do that again. And I think the toolkits
- 34:49Speaker 3: are all out there with these clinics and such like that,
- 34:52Speaker 3: and these patient these patient groups and stuff like that.
- 34:58Speaker 3: But you know, be creative, because there's a there's a
- 35:01Speaker 3: lot of creative stuff out there in nursing.
- 35:03Speaker 6: I have them.
- 35:04Speaker 19: But anyway, I don't want to but I appreciate you,
- 35:08Speaker 19: you know, joining in talking with me about that, but
- 35:10Speaker 19: I wanted to say this, and I know it was
- 35:13Speaker 19: kind of correlation with the money factor. I don't understand.
- 35:17Speaker 19: There's two things that i'd understand. And if I make
- 35:21Speaker 19: a mistake, or let's say I get overpaid for something,
- 35:25Speaker 19: they're going to come back and they're gonna they're gonna
- 35:27Speaker 19: get me. But all these all these frauds, all these
- 35:31Speaker 19: people that are that are committing fraud. And then the
- 35:35Speaker 19: Jews judicial system is like hand in hand and there
- 35:39Speaker 19: and there was.
- 35:40Speaker 6: A symboli.
- 35:43Speaker 19: They say refugee, but I think he's an illegal alien
- 35:46Speaker 19: and and got and took seven point two million out
- 35:51Speaker 19: of the coffers of the I guess the state of Minnesota,
- 35:54Speaker 19: and the judge let him just release them and over
- 36:00Speaker 19: the ruling and and and you know a lot of
- 36:03Speaker 19: people don't understand when you go for unemployment, they have
- 36:06Speaker 19: to I guess there's a they do some kind of
- 36:08Speaker 19: court thing to see if you're qualified.
- 36:11Speaker 6: But I don't know, you know how judicious.
- 36:13Speaker 19: That is, But it's just it just doesn't make any sense,
- 36:18Speaker 19: and it doesn't make any sense, like you were saying,
- 36:21Speaker 19: with all these different I mean, it's just I don't
- 36:24Speaker 19: know where we're going. And it seems like the judicial
- 36:27Speaker 19: system is acts like a fourth branch of government. And
- 36:31Speaker 19: where are the checks and checks and balances on them?
- 36:33Speaker 19: I mean, the Supreme Court seems like they keep their
- 36:36Speaker 19: hands in their pants, you know, and they don't and
- 36:38Speaker 19: they don't do anything.
- 36:40Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's a lot of moving parts into this,
- 36:42Speaker 3: but first and foremost, and we had this story in
- 36:44Speaker 3: the first things about half hour ago, this Minnesota judge.
- 36:48Speaker 3: And you know what's interesting is it's becoming almost a
- 36:52Speaker 3: unifying thing.
- 36:53Speaker 6: Uh.
- 36:54Speaker 3: And you know, ilhan Omar and her crew are out
- 36:58Speaker 3: there desperately trying to find any straw to cling to
- 37:03Speaker 3: to stop.
- 37:04Speaker 6: The whole state from coming down on them.
- 37:07Speaker 3: And Democrats are being outed as racist and xenophobe, the
- 37:13Speaker 3: same thing that they used to do to Republicans, because
- 37:16Speaker 3: Democrats are saying, hold on a second here, and how
- 37:20Speaker 3: did this go go down? So this judge's ruling that
- 37:23Speaker 3: came down Friday, and it's classic Friday afternoon. You know what,
- 37:27Speaker 3: nobody's going to be talking about this on Saturday morning,
- 37:31Speaker 3: you know, trying to sneak in Sally through the alley.
- 37:33Speaker 3: So they've they've they've overturned a seven point two million
- 37:38Speaker 3: dollar judgment against this guy.
- 37:41Speaker 6: She she issued no.
- 37:44Speaker 3: Details as to what, you know, what gave her the
- 37:48Speaker 3: opinion that this was a wrong judgment.
- 37:51Speaker 6: But she she did it. She exercised her.
- 37:56Speaker 3: Judicial authority to do it, and maybe that's what we
- 38:00Speaker 3: need to rain angel.

- 44:29Speaker 3: And is the time that we really stop and celebrate.
- 44:35Speaker 3: And I think you know some of you know what
- 44:37Speaker 3: Joel was talking about when he's on the phone with
- 44:40Speaker 3: us here at four three four eight A two four
- 44:43Speaker 3: two one seven is is laid to wait and I
- 44:47Speaker 3: want to get into this moment Joel, You're you're talking
- 44:52Speaker 3: about this, this inability to find justice, and the judges
- 44:58Speaker 3: are over learning just using their uh discretion to tell
- 45:03Speaker 3: a jury of peers that uh they're there ruling was
- 45:10Speaker 3: unjust and overturning uh in this seven point two million
- 45:14Speaker 3: dollar case.
- 45:16Speaker 19: And we had people, we had a young lady that
- 45:18Speaker 19: get that you know, that get burned the like gas
- 45:22Speaker 19: you know, gasoline or propellant dumped on her. We've had
- 45:25Speaker 19: people killed, We've had a nursing student raped and killed
- 45:30Speaker 19: and murdered in Georgia. And and it's all these judges
- 45:33Speaker 19: releasing these people that are criminals, and and we even
- 45:37Speaker 19: have people within Look at look at Letitia James.
- 45:41Speaker 6: I mean you're ack of the woods.
- 45:43Speaker 19: Yeah, I know anyway, but like but you know, I
- 45:47Speaker 19: don't understand this. It's it's like, let's get you said
- 45:51Speaker 19: get back to Christmas while it's about to Jesus Christ.
- 45:53Speaker 6: But it's just I don't understand.
- 45:56Speaker 3: I mean, that's dismissive, you know, and then people are
- 46:00Speaker 3: and I want to get into this excoriating Chip Roy.
- 46:03Speaker 3: Do we have chips speech? I love Chip Roy. I've
- 46:06Speaker 3: got several chances to meet him. Great UVA alumni. But
- 46:10Speaker 3: don't hold that against him. You know, went to school
- 46:13Speaker 3: here in our flagship area and it's been back many times.
- 46:16Speaker 3: But they're killing him over his speech regarding Islamists and
- 46:22Speaker 3: their attitude towards the United States. That goes back to
- 46:25Speaker 3: the very first Secretary of State and what they found.
- 46:29Speaker 3: They are amongst the Barbary pirates. And so this this idea.
- 46:34Speaker 3: You know, if you want to come here, come here.
- 46:37Speaker 3: Don't come here because you want to change here, because
- 46:40Speaker 3: that's invasion, that's not assimilation. If you want to come
- 46:43Speaker 3: here to change here, the same as treatament as the Chicoms.
- 46:47Speaker 3: They want to come here and change here. They don't
- 46:49Speaker 3: want to come here and change to an American system
- 46:54Speaker 3: that is an ethema to what they believe. But let
- 46:57Speaker 3: me get into that a little bit here, Joel, hang
- 47:00Speaker 3: in there, my friend. And you know that light at
- 47:03Speaker 3: the end of the tunnel is not an oncoming train.
- 47:06Speaker 19: And Joe asked doctor Clark about the Marine Corps anthem
- 47:10Speaker 19: from the halls of Montezuma's to the shores of Tripoline, Right,
- 47:13Speaker 19: that's all battling, that's all battling the Muslims.
- 47:16Speaker 6: Yeah, and we have for some time.
- 47:19Speaker 3: Uh, and I think and and he's being excoriated for it,
- 47:22Speaker 3: but we found we have the clip here. This is
- 47:25Speaker 3: Chip Roy on the floor of the House yesterday, and.
- 47:30Speaker 26: I'm going to start on the point of the policy
- 47:34Speaker 26: of healthcare because I think it goes to the central
- 47:40Speaker 26: problem we face as a people right now. A lot
- 47:44Speaker 26: of folks are talking about quote affordability. It's become the
- 47:48Speaker 26: political hot button buzzword, affordability. This is being driven intentionally
- 47:56Speaker 26: by my colleagues on the other side of the aisle
- 47:59Speaker 26: because they've got virtually nothing to run on, and so
- 48:04Speaker 26: they made a choice to shut the government down in
- 48:10Speaker 26: order to set up a fight and to try to
- 48:14Speaker 26: elevate the issue of healthcare because they believe they can
- 48:18Speaker 26: win on it politically.
- 48:20Speaker 3: And Chip, you know, we have examples here in Virginia
- 48:24Speaker 3: of how that works. And Chip is one of the
- 48:27Speaker 3: people who gets the messaging. We're gonna have to because
- 48:30Speaker 3: the point he makes about the battles that we've had.
- 48:36Speaker 6: Over time.
- 48:40Speaker 3: We may have to hold over until the news because
- 48:42Speaker 3: you've got the whole clip here, and I mean is
- 48:44Speaker 3: twelve minutes long, and it's great. But his point about
- 48:47Speaker 3: affordability goes to something that we talked about yesterday and
- 48:51Speaker 3: the day before is that aside from folks like Chip Roy,
- 48:55Speaker 3: they don't message well. Republicans don't message well on these
- 49:00Speaker 3: affordability issues. We get caught in the trap of defensiveness
- 49:11Speaker 3: rather than offensiveness. We need to go out on offense
- 49:15Speaker 3: regarding the things that will make things more affordable, not
- 49:19Speaker 3: how can you get something from the government to help you.
- 49:26Speaker 3: And that's the bigger issue is the left will either
- 49:33Speaker 3: do supply side subsidy where they'll give money to the
- 49:37Speaker 3: provider of healthcare or electric utility, and then they become
- 49:54Speaker 3: the police overseeing what you're trying to get. So the government,
- 50:04Speaker 3: the elected officials can ride out of town under the defense.
- 50:11Speaker 6: Of what we had to do.
- 50:12Speaker 3: It it was the electric company or the or your landlord,
- 50:15Speaker 3: or whoever it is that they choose, they'll give them.
- 50:18Speaker 3: This is why it's the most popular way to do subsidy.
- 50:21Speaker 3: You know, will give blue cross, blue shield the subsidy.
- 50:25Speaker 6: You don't get it.
- 50:27Speaker 3: This is one of the things that the Republicans are
- 50:29Speaker 3: saying is well, if we're going to give the money,
- 50:32Speaker 3: give it to the consumer and let them choose what
- 50:36Speaker 3: kind of healthcare organization they want to be. And it's
- 50:40Speaker 3: still based on the faulty premise of we have to
- 50:45Speaker 3: force you to be in an insurance set up that
- 50:51Speaker 3: and it doesn't have to be that way because they
- 50:53Speaker 3: then arbitrarily decide what qualifies as a program and patient.
- 50:59Speaker 3: These patient groups you know Atlas MD, doctor Josh Umber
- 51:04Speaker 3: and these folks who put together these patient collaboratives don't qualify.
- 51:12Speaker 3: So you couldn't take your Obamacare subsidy if the government
- 51:16Speaker 3: succeeds in giving it to you directly instead of sending
- 51:19Speaker 3: it to Blue Cross, Blue Shield or Etna, or because
- 51:24Speaker 3: what they want is Etna or Blue Cross and Blue
- 51:26Speaker 3: Shield to say, well, you didn't you see here on
- 51:29Speaker 3: page seven hundred and three this way you were supposed
- 51:33Speaker 3: to sign or initial right next to this line. You
- 51:37Speaker 3: didn't and so your claims denied. Thank you, have a
- 51:40Speaker 3: nice day next. They want them to be the bad guy.
- 51:44Speaker 3: They don't want to be the government. There was an
- 51:47Speaker 3: old cartoon in the New Yorker magazine when I was
- 51:50Speaker 3: growing up. It was a banker sitting behind a desk,
- 51:54Speaker 3: kind of a nondescript desk, but the you know, First
- 51:57Speaker 3: Union bank, and I know that's actually the name of
- 52:00Speaker 3: a bank.
- 52:00Speaker 6: I shouldn't use that.
- 52:02Speaker 3: There's a you know, Megopolis Bank and trust We Never
- 52:07Speaker 3: Say No, which was a thing bank in the seventies
- 52:11Speaker 3: and eighties.
- 52:11Speaker 6: Banks, Oh, we never say no.
- 52:13Speaker 3: And the bankers sitting behind the desk talking to some
- 52:16Speaker 3: sad sack who's there looking for a loan, and the
- 52:20Speaker 3: caption is yet, oh, you never say no, but you'll
- 52:24Speaker 3: say and yet. That's how we are with our subsidi
- 52:28Speaker 3: nation right now, is the government officials will say, well, well,
- 52:32Speaker 3: make sure you have affordability, and then they'll leave it
- 52:35Speaker 3: to the provider of whatever it is they're going to subsidize.
- 52:38Speaker 3: To be the bad guy, to be the police officer says,
- 52:42Speaker 3: what are you doing on the street corner. It's a
- 52:47Speaker 3: great scam if you can get into it.
- 52:51Speaker 6: My name is Bobby.
- 52:52Speaker 5: I'm a veteran and lost my leg to a roadside bomb.
