Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: And I take the the anti Semitism out.
- 0:04Speaker 2: I'm against it. Just to be clear.
- 0:05Speaker 3: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Chunk Media Network,
- 0:10Speaker 3: All natural and free you of artificial intelligence.
- 0:13Speaker 4: Jewart said, steal me Step. You have a day at
- 0:18Speaker 4: least for work. When the sun comes up, drops a
- 0:21Speaker 4: pet at the scood. N Joe has everything a jam
- 0:25Speaker 4: do all the Joses set needs no one that Joe's
- 0:30Speaker 4: as smiled he all the eggs.
- 0:35Speaker 5: Let it be Joe, Thank you for letting me be
- 0:37Speaker 5: of service to you this morning. I want to be
- 0:41Speaker 5: Joe four three four eight eight two four two one seven.
- 0:45Speaker 5: That is the phone of emails.
- 0:47Speaker 2: Come into JT in the morning radio at gmail dot
- 0:51Speaker 2: com because we will tell you what went on last night,
- 0:54Speaker 2: and we will tell you what we think about what
- 0:57Speaker 2: went on last night. But most importantly, I want to
- 0:59Speaker 2: hear from you about how what went on last night
- 1:03Speaker 2: impacts you where you are. This text message specifically, dear Joe,
- 1:10Speaker 2: didn't hear about Usha Vance's wedding ring. Please tell me
- 1:14Speaker 2: more than the rights and brethesies. Don't judge me harshly.
- 1:19Speaker 2: This stuff fascinates me. So apparently at some event that
- 1:25Speaker 2: Usha Vance and Milania Trump were at at Camp le June.
- 1:37Speaker 2: She didn't have a wedding ring on her finger. And
- 1:42Speaker 2: this is the whole tmz well jd. Vance hugged Eric
- 1:46Speaker 2: at Kirk kind of a long time there up on
- 1:49Speaker 2: the stage and what does that mean? And and then
- 1:52Speaker 2: you got the people saying Usha Vance needs to convert
- 1:56Speaker 2: to Christianity and all the stuff that makes people not
- 2:01Speaker 2: want to serve their communities, just saying. And so now
- 2:10Speaker 2: the rumor mill is all their divorced do or they're
- 2:13Speaker 2: getting a divorce, and she's kicked him out and he's
- 2:15Speaker 2: living in the White House, he's sleeping in his office, whatever,
- 2:18Speaker 2: all the different craziness that's going on in here. And
- 2:21Speaker 2: you know what, it could turn out that they are.
- 2:24Speaker 2: But the response that Usha Vance's office and I'll understand,
- 2:31Speaker 2: there's no East Wing anymore for these folks to work
- 2:33Speaker 2: out of. I don't know if they're all in the
- 2:35Speaker 2: old Executive Office building or whatever it is, but they've
- 2:40Speaker 2: all lost their East Wing offices. So the statement is
- 2:44Speaker 2: put together. Usha is a mother of three young children,
- 2:49Speaker 2: who does lots of dishes, gives lots of baths, and
- 2:52Speaker 2: forgets her rings. Sometimes. The problem is is a lot
- 2:59Speaker 2: of the mothers and wives that voted for JD and
- 3:06Speaker 2: the president on the ticket are like they're calling bs
- 3:09Speaker 2: on head. This one says, the only ring that stays
- 3:13Speaker 2: on my finger, Joe is my wedding ring. I take
- 3:16Speaker 2: all of the other ones off, certainly, but the wedding
- 3:19Speaker 2: ring never comes off. Then this one from a professional
- 3:25Speaker 2: chef says, my wedding ring has to be off because
- 3:29Speaker 2: I'm working with food all the time. You know, yeah,
- 3:32Speaker 2: six one way, half a dozen the other. But the
- 3:35Speaker 2: idea that she had been doing dishes right before going
- 3:39Speaker 2: out on stage with Milania Trump, that was the part
- 3:43Speaker 2: of it that I just I was like, Okay, you're
- 3:46Speaker 2: expecting us to buy an awful lot of that. Yeah,
- 3:50Speaker 2: hang on, hang on, I'll be right there. I just
- 3:52Speaker 2: want to finish these pots and pans before we go
- 3:54Speaker 2: out on stage and in the hotel. Is it an
- 4:00Speaker 2: extended stay America? Where they were staying in South Carolina? Anyway?
- 4:06Speaker 2: Our first thing's real news, not the esoterica. Her husband JD.
- 4:11Speaker 2: Vance is criticizing Democrats after the video surface of them
- 4:16Speaker 2: urging US service members to defy illegal orders. President Trump
- 4:22Speaker 2: called that sedition insurrection or perhaps presidential coup. Vice President
- 4:28Speaker 2: Vance said if the president hasn't issued illegal orders and
- 4:31Speaker 2: the members of Congress are telling the military to defy
- 4:34Speaker 2: the president, that's, by its definition illegal. Transportation Secretary Sean
- 4:41Speaker 2: Duffy has identified the woman who was set on fire
- 4:45Speaker 2: on an L train in Chicago as twenty six year
- 4:49Speaker 2: old Bethany McGhee, suffering severe burns in the attack, Duffy
- 4:53Speaker 2: blasted the lacks crime policies in the Windy City, saying
- 4:58Speaker 2: the attack was carry out allegedly by a career criminal
- 5:02Speaker 2: with seventy two prior arrests. It's devastating that a career
- 5:08Speaker 2: criminal is now accused of attacking twenty six year old
- 5:12Speaker 2: Bethany McGee setting her on fire. Duffy said this never
- 5:16Speaker 2: would have happened if he had been behind bars. Yet Chicago,
- 5:19Speaker 2: let's repeat offenders roam the streets. President Trump is expected
- 5:27Speaker 2: to announce a new plan aimed at curbing the rising
- 5:31Speaker 2: healthcare costs. Certainly, the cost of the policies are going up,
- 5:39Speaker 2: thus the extension debate over subsidies for premiums on Affordable
- 5:45Speaker 2: Care Act policies. According to White House officials this afternoon,
- 5:51Speaker 2: he's expected to make an announcement about this with doctor
- 5:54Speaker 2: memont Oz, the administrator of the Centers for Medicaid and
- 5:58Speaker 2: Medicare services to both departments. Meanwhile, a quartet of bipartisan
- 6:05Speaker 2: House members unveiled legislation to extend Obamacare's enhanced subsidies for
- 6:10Speaker 2: two years with some changes to try to quell conservatives
- 6:16Speaker 2: worry about more fraud within the program. The congress people
- 6:21Speaker 2: are Republicans Don Bacon of Nebraska and Jeff Heard of Colorado,
- 6:26Speaker 2: along with Tom Swosey of New York and Josh Gottheimer
- 6:30Speaker 2: of New Jersey. Bacon said, I see it clearly that
- 6:36Speaker 2: we need an interim plan because we don't want to
- 6:38Speaker 2: see premium skyrocket, he said, meaning that when the subsidies expire,
- 6:44Speaker 2: you will be held accountable for premiums that have already
- 6:48Speaker 2: skyrocketed under them. He goes on to say, we'll probably
- 6:52Speaker 2: need a deeper plan for the longer term, and those
- 6:56Speaker 2: are some of our first things on this Monday morning.

- 8:07Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 7: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 7: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 7: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 7: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:32Speaker 7: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and
- 8:36Speaker 7: inflammation has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can

- 8:46Speaker 7: and in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects
- 8:50Speaker 7: our healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com

- 10:01Speaker 9: on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 9: I'm not only in alle of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 9: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:09Speaker 9: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 9: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 10:15Speaker 9: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 10:18Speaker 9: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21Speaker 9: them to navigate the trees and the.
- 10:22Speaker 2: Wild in search of fruit.
- 10:23Speaker 9: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
- 10:26Speaker 9: the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets at home,
- 10:30Speaker 9: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life
- 10:33Speaker 9: saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports.
- 10:36Speaker 9: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTSS.
- 10:39Speaker 9: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change.
- 10:42Speaker 3: In their blood chemistry.
- 10:43Speaker 9: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
- 10:45Speaker 9: contribute to society and help those in need. So please

- 13:12Speaker 6: I'm Senator Alissa Stockins, Senator Mark Kelly, Representative.
- 13:15Speaker 10: Chris Louisia, Congressman Madgie Goodlanyard, Representative Christy Hulahan.
- 13:19Speaker 6: Congressman Jason Crowe.
- 13:20Speaker 2: I was a captain in the United States.
- 13:22Speaker 17: Navy, former CIA officer, former Navy, former paratrooper and Army ranger,
- 13:26Speaker 17: former intelligence officer.
- 13:28Speaker 10: Former Air Force.
- 13:29Speaker 6: We want to speak directly to members of the military.
- 13:31Speaker 17: And the intelligence community to take risks each day keep
- 13:34Speaker 17: Americans safe.
- 13:36Speaker 18: We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now.
- 13:39Speaker 19: Americans trust their military.
- 13:40Speaker 17: Well, that trust is at risk.
- 13:42Speaker 6: This administration is pitting our uniform military.
- 13:45Speaker 17: And intelligence community professionals against American citizens like us.
- 13:58Speaker 2: You all swore an.
- 13:59Speaker 11: Oath protect and then this Constitution.
- 14:02Speaker 1: Right now, the threats to our constitution aren't just coming
- 14:05Speaker 1: from abroad, but from right here at home.
- 14:07Speaker 3: Our laws are clear.
- 14:08Speaker 14: You can refuse illegal orders.
- 14:10Speaker 17: You can refuse illegal orders from the home.
- 14:13Speaker 20: Of the first amendals the first thing today.
- 14:37Speaker 2: So it's as much as I could stomach to play
- 14:39Speaker 2: for you of the of the video, Mark Kelly and
- 14:46Speaker 2: Alyssa Slotkin and a bunch of other there's a piece
- 14:49Speaker 2: of it though that I think, and we've we've been
- 14:51Speaker 2: having some fun. Alyssa Slotkin was on ABC who even
- 14:55Speaker 2: ABC couldn't uh stomach some of the rhetorics she was spewing,
- 15:02Speaker 2: and finally got her to admit this.
- 15:04Speaker 18: I'm not sure that this is legal. There is such
- 15:08Speaker 18: things as illegal orders. That's why it's in the Uniform
- 15:10Speaker 18: Code of Military Justice, going back to Nuremberg.
- 15:13Speaker 2: Well there it is, didn't I just say on Friday's program,
- 15:17Speaker 2: I didn't want to go see Nuremberg. Oh and she
- 15:19Speaker 2: had to go and drag Nuremberg in here. Ah convenient?
- 15:23Speaker 2: That isn't it? Illistit?
- 15:24Speaker 18: And it's just it's a totally benign statement. And if
- 15:28Speaker 18: the president is concerned about it, then he should stay
- 15:31Speaker 18: deeply within the law. But I think it's important to
- 15:33Speaker 18: know it's not hypothetical.
- 15:35Speaker 6: Right.
- 15:35Speaker 18: This president in the last administration, his last administration, asked
- 15:39Speaker 18: his Secretary of Defense and his Chairman of the Joint
- 15:41Speaker 18: Chiefs to quote, shoot at their legs at unarmed protesters
- 15:45Speaker 18: in front of the White House that he wanted moved.
- 15:47Speaker 21: Actually, I know, I know you're talking about Mark Esper's book.
- 15:49Speaker 21: He didn't exactly say that. He said the President suggested that,
- 15:53Speaker 21: but they were never ordered to do that.
- 15:55Speaker 18: And he got out of the Oval office quickly so
- 15:57Speaker 18: that he wasn't told to actually do it. And I
- 15:59Speaker 18: give him a lot credit for that.
- 16:00Speaker 22: I am your credit.
- 16:01Speaker 21: So let's talk right now. Do you believe President Trump
- 16:05Speaker 21: has issued any illegal orders?
- 16:08Speaker 18: To my knowledge, I am not aware of things that
- 16:11Speaker 18: are illegal, but certainly there are some legal gymnastics that
- 16:14Speaker 18: are going on with them.
- 16:15Speaker 2: So nothing illegal has happened here. But we wanted to
- 16:19Speaker 2: put out the video anyway, and of course she put
- 16:21Speaker 2: it out as she said earlier, in the accurate statement.
- 16:26Speaker 18: So I think the reason we put that statement out
- 16:29Speaker 18: is because the sheer number of frankly young officers who
- 16:32Speaker 18: are coming to us and saying, I just am not
- 16:34Speaker 18: sure what do I.
- 16:35Speaker 2: Do, because after all the training we gave you at
- 16:38Speaker 2: West Point in Colorado Springs and Annapolis, you're dumb.
- 16:45Speaker 18: You know, I'm in southcom and I'm involved in the
- 16:48Speaker 18: National Guard. I'm just not sure what do I do.
- 16:51Speaker 18: And I think, look, you don't have to take my
- 16:53Speaker 18: word for it. We've had report after report.
- 16:56Speaker 2: Of which we haven't shared with you or made public.
- 16:58Speaker 2: But that's a very legal office.
- 17:00Speaker 18: Are JAG officers coming forward and saying, look, I push
- 17:03Speaker 18: back on this, I'm not sure that this is legal.
- 17:05Speaker 2: Oh so even the JAG officers, the ones that go
- 17:07Speaker 2: to the University of Virginia lost the government dime and
- 17:11Speaker 2: go through the Judge Advocate General schools adjacent to the
- 17:16Speaker 2: University of Virginia, they're also stupid. One other quote I
- 17:21Speaker 2: want to play to you that I think is notable
- 17:23Speaker 2: from the video. Can we go back to the part
- 17:26Speaker 2: about how people are at risk.
- 17:29Speaker 7: Americans trust their military.
- 17:31Speaker 17: That trust is at risk.
- 17:33Speaker 22: This administration is pitting our uniform military.
- 17:36Speaker 17: And intelligence community professionals against American citizens.
- 17:39Speaker 2: Intelligence community members are being pitted against American citizens. How
- 17:44Speaker 2: prey tell, Senator Slotkin, how pray tell? Are intelligence gathering
- 17:48Speaker 2: apparatus being applied against average American citizens? Do tell? You
- 17:53Speaker 2: seem to make that statement fairly quickly in the middle
- 17:56Speaker 2: of that video, and it just I mean, it clanged
- 17:59Speaker 2: like a caroline playing Carol of the bells. Maybe it
- 18:04Speaker 2: didn't for you, Maybe you don't care. Maybe you're like Dudge.
- 18:07Speaker 2: Oh the intelligence communities going after American citizens. Film at eleven,
- 18:12Speaker 2: But let me get to you at four three four
- 18:14Speaker 2: eight A two four to two one seven. Good morning,
- 18:17Speaker 2: you're on the air, first thing this morning with Joe
- 18:19Speaker 2: who says, Hey, it's Andy har Are you good, Andy?
- 18:23Speaker 2: How are you? Sir?
- 18:25Speaker 21: Oh?
- 18:26Speaker 2: Right side of the days.
- 18:28Speaker 23: I wanted to comment a little bit on this, this
- 18:31Speaker 23: whole thing with James o'keef had exposed all of this
- 18:35Speaker 23: just horrific things that these democrats, especially in the Senate level,
- 18:41Speaker 23: that he would have exposed had I personally not been
- 18:44Speaker 23: identified as the funding source and I was actually funding
- 18:50Speaker 23: the twenty twenty undercover at the US Senate level, only
- 18:54Speaker 23: targeted at Democrats, although at Mitch mccon was put on
- 19:01Speaker 23: the watch list as uh you know, as a suspect
- 19:06Speaker 23: like ill repute. I guess it's a good way of
- 19:09Speaker 23: putting it. The fun trunk thing just took me down,
- 19:14Speaker 23: like Main Street there in Waynesboro. Uh, we lost about
- 19:19Speaker 23: probably three years ago. There was a gentleman who had
- 19:23Speaker 23: served in our military and sid uh he was the
- 19:28Speaker 23: only portion person in the world who actually wasn't an
- 19:32Speaker 23: official Porsche dealer, but he could buy Porsches from them.
- 19:36Speaker 2: And uh oh you said about the fundraising drive with
- 19:39Speaker 2: the food bank, you know, with the owners.
- 19:43Speaker 23: Right now you come down off of after Mountain and
- 19:48Speaker 23: Waynesboro there, driving into Main Street, and on the left
- 19:52Speaker 23: there there was an old furniture store that they had
- 19:57Speaker 23: actually turned into his Porsche collection for a little bit,
- 20:01Speaker 23: probably ten years. And after he died. I think the
- 20:04Speaker 23: people up at Swando ended up moving to the Ruffle
- 20:10Speaker 23: Museum things down into that space. But my point here though,
- 20:16Speaker 23: is that we should not get involved in foreign wars. Yeah,
- 20:24Speaker 23: that's hot, not killed. And your murder definition it's all
- 20:30Speaker 23: syncs with behaving responsibly as a human. And whether you're
- 20:35Speaker 23: on a sports team or a rifle ring someplace practicing
- 20:40Speaker 23: to to defend what we created two hundred and fifty
- 20:46Speaker 23: years ago, it's all kind of the same stuff. And
- 20:49Speaker 23: if you start with an immoral society, it doesn't didn't
- 20:54Speaker 23: turn out very well.
- 20:55Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's that's what happens, because then you're like, well,
- 20:58Speaker 2: I just want my way rather than I want what's right.
- 21:02Speaker 2: I just want what I want. And that's where we
- 21:05Speaker 2: come apart is and that's where we've come a part
- 21:07Speaker 2: in this country to this point, is it's all about
- 21:10Speaker 2: I want my way.
- 21:13Speaker 23: One of the really fun parts of the Purple Heart
- 21:17Speaker 23: story is me helping to front the UVA locker room,
- 21:21Speaker 23: the basketball locker room, probably eight years ago something like that.
- 21:26Speaker 23: But you know, the first thing on the wall is humility.
- 21:31Speaker 23: Yeah yeah, and he's one's like und and and there's
- 21:36Speaker 23: thankfulness in there.
- 21:38Speaker 2: But very important for us to remember Andy, good stuff,
- 21:41Speaker 2: my friend, and thanks for doing all that.
- 21:44Speaker 23: Well, just you know, and I'm still here though. People
- 21:47Speaker 23: need to not worry about you. Just go ahead and
- 21:50Speaker 23: keep it being a conduit for keeping it real but
- 21:55Speaker 23: you know James O'Keefe is you know they chased him
- 21:58Speaker 23: out of New.
- 21:58Speaker 2: York and absolutely, Hey Brandt.
- 22:02Speaker 3: And her name is Shary.
- 22:03Speaker 9: I love.
- 22:04Speaker 24: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
- 22:06Speaker 24: for because of a surgery. She just went through.
- 22:09Speaker 25: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
- 22:11Speaker 25: talk about all the time, which.
- 22:13Speaker 2: Is meta share.
- 22:14Speaker 25: That is right.
- 22:14Speaker 24: Yeah, So what was your experience like with meta share
- 22:17Speaker 24: and healthcare ability?
- 22:18Speaker 25: Honestly, Brandt seamless and what a blessing that is When
- 22:21Speaker 25: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was.
- 22:24Speaker 25: Members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
- 22:27Speaker 25: me tell you, having people pray with you when you
- 22:30Speaker 25: call in with your need that is just refreshing. Yes,
- 22:34Speaker 25: that's what it is.
- 22:35Speaker 2: What I keep telling people.
- 22:36Speaker 24: People love meta share and they love saving money. The
- 22:39Speaker 24: typical family can save five hundred dollars a month.
- 22:42Speaker 25: I am very thankful for meta share. It is so different,
- 22:46Speaker 25: and I mean different in a very very good way.
- 22:48Speaker 24: It is good different.

- 23:06Speaker 26: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
- 23:11Speaker 26: better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
- 23:15Speaker 26: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports
- 23:20Speaker 26: veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
- 23:25Speaker 26: personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
- 23:30Speaker 26: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
- 23:34Speaker 26: on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
- 23:40Speaker 26: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
- 23:44Speaker 26: AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
- 23:48Speaker 26: your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
- 23:53Speaker 26: center of our profession. For more information on AI and

- 24:03Speaker 7: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 24:07Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 24:12Speaker 7: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18Speaker 7: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22Speaker 7: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26Speaker 7: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31Speaker 7: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 7: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:42Speaker 7: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 24:45Speaker 7: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

- 28:11Speaker 3: Question for you from Joe Thomas, it's first thing today?
- 28:17Speaker 25: You don't mean about that?
- 28:19Speaker 31: What's you don't really want to know?
- 28:23Speaker 2: Just one hundred plus years ago, a fellow named William
- 28:35Speaker 2: Randolph Perst used his massive social media empire to influence
- 28:46Speaker 2: American public policy by using his versions of Facebook and
- 28:52Speaker 2: Instagram called all of your daily newspapers as well as
- 28:58Speaker 2: Cosmopolitan magazine to convince Americans that their congressional representation was
- 29:06Speaker 2: bad because they didn't get to vote for their US senators.
- 29:12Speaker 2: So profound was his impact that William Randolph Hurst alone
- 29:15Speaker 2: is credited for creating the groundswell that pushed the Senate
- 29:21Speaker 2: to pass the seventeenth Amendment, moving their choice to an
- 29:26Speaker 2: elected body. And of course, William Randolph Hurst, being a
- 29:30Speaker 2: great great grandfather of the news industry, never bothered to
- 29:34Speaker 2: tell the citizens that they did technically vote for their
- 29:39Speaker 2: senators because they voted for the governors who appointed them
- 29:43Speaker 2: and the General Assembly members in their state who would
- 29:46Speaker 2: approve those nominations. Still negally details that got left out
- 29:53Speaker 2: of the story somehow, So they told the story and
- 29:56Speaker 2: now we have super legislators because they changed from the
- 30:01Speaker 2: appointment of senators by the state to popularly elected senators.
- 30:08Speaker 2: But they didn't take away the six year term. Funny
- 30:12Speaker 2: that so it's it's with very little remorse that I
- 30:17Speaker 2: report to you that the newspaper syndicate that still bears
- 30:21Speaker 2: William Randolph Hurst's name is still undergoing massive layoffs. Most
- 30:28Speaker 2: recent and I know it was a k BAP. This
- 30:30Speaker 2: is our Dallas affiliate. F thanks are go look up
- 30:35Speaker 2: who our Dallas affiliate is there. But the reason I'm
- 30:40Speaker 2: saying is that I think we should petition for the
- 30:42Speaker 2: name Dallas Morning News. Can we find a way to
- 30:46Speaker 2: say Dallas Morning News without saying Dallas Morning News? Oh,
- 30:52Speaker 2: you know, I have the voice, guys say the Morning
- 30:54Speaker 2: News for Dallas. You know, there you go. But the
- 30:57Speaker 2: Dallas Morning News is laying off twenty six people. It's
- 31:01Speaker 2: their entire copy desk, including sports for you cowboys, man,
- 31:06Speaker 2: how about them cowboys? But the entire copy desk at
- 31:10Speaker 2: the Dallas Morning News is being fired and they're outsourcing
- 31:16Speaker 2: the pub the printing of the newspaper to somewhere else.
- 31:18Speaker 2: Now understand, Dallas is not a small town. When this
- 31:23Speaker 2: happened in Charlottesville under the owner and operation of Lee Newspapers,
- 31:29Speaker 2: which is Warren Buffett, Peel said, well, it's just Charlottesville,
- 31:36Speaker 2: and they're going to print the newspaper at the Richmond
- 31:38Speaker 2: Times discharge in this dispatch, sorry, and then send it
- 31:43Speaker 2: to Charlottesville. And then they stop doing that too. Now,
- 31:46Speaker 2: if you pay a little extra, they will deliver eight
- 31:49Speaker 2: and a half by eleven printouts of the newspaper stories
- 31:53Speaker 2: to you in an envelope. You've got to pay extra
- 31:57Speaker 2: for that. You still have to pay for a subscription
- 32:00Speaker 2: to read the stories online, which is fair. I mean,
- 32:03Speaker 2: the newspaper reporters do cost some money. Ask Karl Marx
- 32:09Speaker 2: and Joseph Ingalls. They complained loud and long about how
- 32:16Speaker 2: little they got paid. But so the entire copy desk
- 32:25Speaker 2: for the Dallas Morning News because apparently there's no news
- 32:28Speaker 2: in Dallas anymore except fifth largest city in America, fifth
- 32:32Speaker 2: largest city in America, and their newspaper operation is going under,
- 32:36Speaker 2: and the Heirst newspaper story is well, the people were
- 32:40Speaker 2: right sizing have every opportunity to apply for another position
- 32:45Speaker 2: in the broader Hurst footprint. And it's not a flaw,
- 32:55Speaker 2: it's a feature. Because if we centralize all the news
- 33:06Speaker 2: to William Randolph Hurst headquarters, just like he had it
- 33:09Speaker 2: one hundred plus years ago, better for them to be
- 33:17Speaker 2: able to tell their story the stories they want to tell.
- 33:23Speaker 2: And this is the same thing where you know, President Trump,
- 33:25Speaker 2: God bless him, came down against his FCC chair Brendan
- 33:31Speaker 2: Carr when it came to ownership caps. Now he did
- 33:34Speaker 2: it because he said, don't reward fake news with being
- 33:37Speaker 2: able to own multiple or all the TV stations in
- 33:48Speaker 2: an area. But he did say that they were fake
- 34:03Speaker 2: news and they should be punished, but just not the
- 34:05Speaker 2: way Brendan Carr was saying it. So I mean, you
- 34:07Speaker 2: take the wind, you know, dust yourself off, and head
- 34:10Speaker 2: on home. And I shed tears for those who are
- 34:23Speaker 2: trying to cover news stories in Dallas because I understand
- 34:27Speaker 2: it's important. It's important that you know what's going on.
- 34:31Speaker 2: And if you if you do this and you centralize
- 34:33Speaker 2: everyone out of Hurst headquarters in San Francisco or wherever,
- 34:38Speaker 2: you have a dearth of voices. Now I'm a free marketer,
- 34:43Speaker 2: and I know somebody will come along and fulfill the
- 34:52Speaker 2: job that people in Dallas will need the answers to
- 34:57Speaker 2: stories that are going on. You see it happening, and
- 35:00Speaker 2: some of these places like next door. But the narrative
- 35:06Speaker 2: that you want that you have to push back on
- 35:09Speaker 2: is that you don't want to know the news stories
- 35:14Speaker 2: that the great great great grandchildren of William Randolph Hurst.
- 35:23Speaker 2: They know much better than you what are important news stories.
- 35:26Speaker 2: And we will determine to you what our news stories
- 35:30Speaker 2: are not. And if it's a local story, maybe in
- 35:38Speaker 2: three or four or five days, we'll get it to
- 35:40Speaker 2: you once it's gone to San Francisco and it's past
- 35:43Speaker 2: the editorial desk there. But this is all, you know.
- 35:55Speaker 2: This is all not a flaw, but a feature, because
- 35:58Speaker 2: the less you trust the news business, the more you'll
- 36:05Speaker 2: accept whatever you know gets passed down through the government
- 36:10Speaker 2: press offices. Remember these these are all things that will
- 36:13Speaker 2: come down through the office. And once the press release
- 36:20Speaker 2: comes out, then you then you'll know the well it
- 36:23Speaker 2: says it came from the press office, and therefore it
- 36:26Speaker 2: must be press. It's very dangerous to have all these places,
- 36:33Speaker 2: you know. And there's a good reason newspapers are failing
- 36:36Speaker 2: because they used to have a cash cow of the
- 36:43Speaker 2: classified ads. And it was really Craigslist is what killed newspapers,
- 36:50Speaker 2: because you know, you used to charge a lot of
- 36:53Speaker 2: money for classified ads in a newspaper, and you would
- 36:58Speaker 2: use that money to pay your and your columnists and
- 37:07Speaker 2: pay for the equipment necessary to cover the sports teams
- 37:12Speaker 2: that your city wants to have covered. But you would
- 37:16Speaker 2: pay a kid minimum wage to do data entry on
- 37:20Speaker 2: the classifieds, and you charge a couple of hundred bucks
- 37:22Speaker 2: reach classified. It was free money. And then Craigslist came along,
- 37:27Speaker 2: and newspapers had no idea, ignored it, said nobody will
- 37:33Speaker 2: do that, and everyone did that, and now we're left
- 37:38Speaker 2: struggling how to figure out how to pay journalists. Because
- 37:46Speaker 2: it's important that you have the stories told to you,
- 37:49Speaker 2: the true stories, not just what you want to hear,
- 37:52Speaker 2: not just somebody who's going to do confirmation therapy for you,
- 37:56Speaker 2: and somebody's going to tell you, hey, this might be
- 37:58Speaker 2: a little awkward for you to here. Bought.
- 38:01Speaker 24: Life can change so abruptly.
- 38:04Speaker 2: Just ask Paul.
- 38:05Speaker 24: He's a hard working entrepreneur, he's young, he's got a
- 38:08Speaker 24: young family. Suddenly, though, he develops a rare medical condition
- 38:11Speaker 24: where he lost the use of both of his arms.
- 38:14Speaker 1: I could no longer drive a car, couldn't use a computer, type,
- 38:17Speaker 1: couldn't use a mouse. I could not hold my son,
- 38:19Speaker 1: who was about a month old.
- 38:20Speaker 24: Paul and his family were facing a mountain of medical bills,
- 38:23Speaker 24: but they're so thankful that they're members of meta Share.
- 38:27Speaker 1: I think if someone asked me, like, hey, does men
- 38:29Speaker 1: share really work? I'm living proof that it works. My
- 38:33Speaker 1: four children are living proof that it works. My arms,
- 38:36Speaker 1: which have been healed, are living proof that menashare works.
- 38:39Speaker 1: Just knowing the emotional peace of mind, knowing that our
- 38:42Speaker 1: needs are going to be taken care of when we
- 38:44Speaker 1: have some type of medical problem, that is such a
- 38:46Speaker 1: huge blessing to us.

- 42:55Speaker 28: first date?
- 42:56Speaker 31: Sure?
- 42:57Speaker 24: We'll probably stay together.
- 42:58Speaker 3: Probably.
- 43:00Speaker 29: It's been twenty three minutes since I ate.
- 43:03Speaker 31: I can probably swim.
- 43:05Speaker 1: You should wait thirty minutes.
- 43:07Speaker 31: Okay, Now tell.
- 43:08Speaker 3: Me what to do? Can it bar.
- 43:12Speaker 29: Cramp?
- 43:13Speaker 2: I have a cramp. I can probably hit the green
- 43:18Speaker 2: from here?
- 43:19Speaker 3: Probably?
- 43:23Speaker 2: Can I get a mulligan ready to go?
- 43:27Speaker 22: Hey?
- 43:27Speaker 28: Are you sure you're okay to drive?
- 43:29Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 43:30Speaker 2: I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
- 43:35Speaker 29: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
- 43:39Speaker 29: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
- 43:42Speaker 29: or a friend. Buzz driving is drunk driving. A message

- 44:21Speaker 20: Marx the practice in the park, and we sang Churches
- 44:28Speaker 20: in the dark to day.
- 44:33Speaker 2: Renumber.
- 44:33Speaker 33: But in eighteen sixty one he was singing New York
- 44:36Speaker 33: Till Tribune under the sponsorship and publishing of Horace Greeley,
- 44:44Speaker 33: employed as its London correspondent obscure journalist by the name
- 44:48Speaker 33: of cal Max. We are told that foreign correspondent Marx.
- 44:52Speaker 31: Stone, broke and with a family ill.
- 44:55Speaker 33: And undernourished, constantly appealed to greeley managing editor Charles Dana
- 45:02Speaker 33: for an increase in his munificent salary of five dollars
- 45:05Speaker 33: per installment, a salary which he and Ingalls ungratefully label
- 45:10Speaker 33: as the lousiest petty bourgeois cheating. But when all his
- 45:15Speaker 33: financial appeals were refused, Marx looked around for other means
- 45:20Speaker 33: of livelihood and fame, eventually terminating his relationship with the
- 45:24Speaker 33: Tribune and devoting his talents full time to the cause
- 45:28Speaker 33: that would bequeath to the world the seeds of Leninism, Stalinism, revolution,
- 45:34Speaker 33: and the Cold War. If only this capitalistic New York
- 45:38Speaker 33: newspaper had treated him more kindly, if only Marx had
- 45:43Speaker 33: remained a foreign correspondent, history might have been different. I
- 45:48Speaker 33: hope all publishers will bear this lesson in mind.
- 45:51Speaker 2: This is the JFK in nineteen sixty one, speaking to
- 45:56Speaker 2: a gathering of newspaper publishers. The Hearst Syndicate there as well.
- 46:01Speaker 2: But you see, you know, we in the press, we
- 46:04Speaker 2: have a long, long, storied history. Not only did we
- 46:10Speaker 2: promote Marxism, we were Marxism, and so much of it.
- 46:17Speaker 2: You know, people say, well, why are they paid off?
- 46:19Speaker 2: Are they Are they purchased? I don't think so, because
- 46:24Speaker 2: nobody has purchased me. And if they're out there buying
- 46:30Speaker 2: news coverage, holy cow. I mean, come on, folks, email
- 46:34Speaker 2: addresses JT in the morning. I'm kidding, I'm kidding, kidding,
- 46:41Speaker 2: But it's it's populism. Very easily teeters and people have
- 46:48Speaker 2: asked over the last eight years or so about populism
- 46:52Speaker 2: frequently to me, and they say, well, Trump's a populist.
- 46:55Speaker 2: Trump's a populist. Trump's a populist, Joe, you got to
- 46:58Speaker 2: understand that Trump's not a conservative. Trump's a populist. And
- 47:08Speaker 2: you know, I don't disagree with that. The peril in
- 47:12Speaker 2: populism is that it can easily teeter on the verge
- 47:18Speaker 2: of Marxism, because Marxism is populist Marxism. Before Karl Marx left,
- 47:24Speaker 2: the employee of the New York Herald Tribune was just
- 47:28Speaker 2: chronicling stories of despots and dictators. And what did he
- 47:32Speaker 2: see in this role as a foreign correspondent, The failings
- 47:36Speaker 2: of despots and dictators when the citizens would rise up
- 47:42Speaker 2: and overthrow them, often to their own peril. He would
- 47:46Speaker 2: see stories of places where the dictator was overthrown only
- 47:53Speaker 2: to have a worse dictator come along. So he thought, gosh,
- 47:57Speaker 2: maybe I should come up with a way to do dictators,
- 48:00Speaker 2: the right way to force to force the dictators to
- 48:04Speaker 2: keep giving to the people so that the people will
- 48:07Speaker 2: be the center square, so that the dictators will keep
- 48:10Speaker 2: their power. And so he worked and worked and worked
- 48:17Speaker 2: at his manifesto based on what he had seen, which
- 48:21Speaker 2: was the fact that for millennia, journalists had been chronicling
- 48:32Speaker 2: the daring do of dictators. And he's it's a collected work.
- 48:37Speaker 2: We can find we can find a way to do
- 48:39Speaker 2: this better, which he hasn't. But he's given it a name,
- 48:44Speaker 2: he's made it a personality. But reporters go for populism,
- 48:50Speaker 2: and populism is dangerous because it teeters so precariously over
- 48:56Speaker 2: the shoulder of becoming Marxism. We were talking about this
- 49:00Speaker 2: with Bob Good, former House Freedom Concas chair, just on
- 49:06Speaker 2: a Friday morning about Trump.
- 49:09Speaker 22: Well, I think President Trump is clearly not an idea
- 49:12Speaker 22: log He's not a true conservative at heart. He's a
- 49:15Speaker 22: gut instinct guy, shoot from the hip kind of a guy.
- 49:19Speaker 22: He's a big idea guy he likes and so you know,
- 49:23Speaker 22: it is hard to pin him down or to buttonhole
- 49:25Speaker 22: him if you will. I mean, take the tariffs, he said,
- 49:28Speaker 22: the tariffs. The purpose was we're going to hey, we're
- 49:30Speaker 22: going to implement these terears. That's how we're going to
- 49:31Speaker 22: address the fiscal crisis and address the deaths of the debt.
- 49:34Speaker 22: But then he wants to turn around and give two
- 49:35Speaker 22: thousand dollars stimulus checks to do what we did during COVID.
- 49:39Speaker 22: That's exploded the debt, which is wealth redistribution. Take it
- 49:41Speaker 22: from those paying for the tariffs and give it to
- 49:43Speaker 22: those that we want to.
- 49:45Speaker 2: So, you know, you see how you can easily under
- 49:48Speaker 2: the guise of we need to do something and the
- 49:52Speaker 2: people are upset about the meat prices, well you kind
- 49:55Speaker 2: of deal with Argentina. If there's been a failing of
- 50:00Speaker 2: the Trump administration, it's been how you know, to explain
- 50:04Speaker 2: his for example, in that particular MILLIUK tariffs, what he
- 50:08Speaker 2: was doing with the tariffs, because it's not just the money.
- 50:12Speaker 2: And this is the problem with the press. They only
- 50:15Speaker 2: see something A and B that's open or closed. It's
- 50:19Speaker 2: one in zero. So is it about collecting the money
- 50:24Speaker 2: or is it creating a better environment where more people
- 50:27Speaker 2: have jobs therefore need less money in there. You see,
- 50:31Speaker 2: this is one of the selling points of capitalism that
- 50:34Speaker 2: always fails because first you have to get the government
- 50:37Speaker 2: out of the way of the businesses. Then the businesses
- 50:40Speaker 2: have to start employing people. And then once the businesses
- 50:47Speaker 2: start employing people, you can roll back the benefits programs
- 50:50Speaker 2: because now we don't need so many benefits. It's just
- 50:55Speaker 2: like you know, russ vote all very appropriately fire bureaucrats,
- 51:00Speaker 2: but what they hadn't done yet was get rid of
- 51:04Speaker 2: the requirements for us to go through the bureaucrats office
- 51:07Speaker 2: to get the things that we needed to exist in life.
- 51:11Speaker 2: Get rid of the need for the bureaucrat, then get
- 51:15Speaker 2: rid of the bureaucrat. So I'm just saying that this
- 51:21Speaker 2: is why you have to watch guys carefully if they're populist,
- 51:25Speaker 2: because populism will sometimes say to you, dude, we need
- 51:30Speaker 2: to give them checks and now you're back into the
- 51:35Speaker 2: great society again. Conservatism is hard, Capitalism is hard. They're
- 51:43Speaker 2: not an easy sales pitch. But you watch what's happening
- 51:48Speaker 2: at the Dallas Morning News, and this is happening at
- 51:52Speaker 2: newspapers all around the country, and it's happening to radio
- 51:58Speaker 2: groups I read every day. You know, this is period
- 52:01Speaker 2: of time right after the third quarter ended mass layoffs
- 52:06Speaker 2: of longtime people who do what I do. And it's
- 52:14Speaker 2: nerve racking, but you have to realize that there has
- 52:20Speaker 2: to be somebody paying for your efforts unless you're going
- 52:24Speaker 2: to generate that yourself, and that's where the future is
- 52:27Speaker 2: in all of these self funded journalism, like our friend
- 52:31Speaker 2: Walter Kurt, who does it himself, gets a couple of
- 52:34Speaker 2: sponsors and that's sufficient for him to go forward. That's
- 52:40Speaker 2: where the future is and that's what drives the authoritarian's crazy. Anyway,
- 52:45Speaker 2: until tomorrow morning at five, I am Joe Thomas, So
- 52:48Speaker 2: long and thanks for all the fish.
- 52:51Speaker 30: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
- 52:55Speaker 30: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
- 52:57Speaker 2: It was metashere that came through force.
- 53:00Speaker 29: There's no hassles, there was no problem.

- 53:25Speaker 11: and members have shared over eight billion dollars of each
- 53:27Speaker 11: other's medical bills.
