- 0:08Speaker 3: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
- 0:12Speaker 3: the second most famous Thomas and Charlottesville.
- 0:16Speaker 4: Jewart said, steal me stem.
- 0:18Speaker 3: You have a day at least for work when the
- 0:22Speaker 3: sun comes.

- 0:38Speaker 8: Joe.
- 0:39Speaker 4: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
- 0:41Speaker 4: this morning. I think the capitation that crippled us earlier
- 0:47Speaker 4: where the brain was moving faster just on pure adrenaline
- 0:50Speaker 4: to compensate for sleep deprivation than the tongue, has been
- 0:54Speaker 4: dealt with this morning. Here to serve you with what
- 0:57Speaker 4: went on last night, we will tell you what we
- 1:00Speaker 4: see and what's remaining once it made it to the
- 1:03Speaker 4: evidence locker, and then really weigh in on how it's
- 1:07Speaker 4: impacting you. Concept not new to this program, but a
- 1:12Speaker 4: concept is defending the US government the same thing as
- 1:19Speaker 4: defending the United States of America. Discuss and if you choose,
- 1:25Speaker 4: discuss with me at four three four eight eight two
- 1:28Speaker 4: four two one seven. One would like to think but
- 1:32Speaker 4: the construct of the US government is not to be
- 1:36Speaker 4: this agent of so much money and so much venture capital.
- 1:43Speaker 4: I wanted to get it real quick. Onto this story,
- 1:46Speaker 4: Chloe Cole is going through the pain and suffering of change. Oh,
- 1:54Speaker 4: at first it was changing genders, but then the pain
- 1:57Speaker 4: became the pain of changing her mind.
- 2:01Speaker 9: So the conversation was primarily focused on the so called
- 2:04Speaker 9: benefits of these treatments, like that they would stop my
- 2:07Speaker 9: female puberty, and the disosterone would make me appear and
- 2:12Speaker 9: my body start to look more like a young man's
- 2:14Speaker 9: with increased body hair, musculature, different fat distribution, and the
- 2:20Speaker 9: surgery I was told was part of the physical, cosmetic
- 2:25Speaker 9: masculinization process. But when the complications were spoken about, it
- 2:33Speaker 9: was in a way that made it seem like it
- 2:37Speaker 9: was either all normal part of the process, or like
- 2:42Speaker 9: it was unlikely to happen. It doesn't matter how far
- 2:45Speaker 9: they went they would they could have gone into the
- 2:47Speaker 9: discussion with me anyways, Because I was a child, there
- 2:50Speaker 9: was nothing they could say to me that would make
- 2:52Speaker 9: me understand the gravity of what I was about to
- 2:54Speaker 9: go through.
- 2:55Speaker 4: Now understand that they were twelve when this started. She
- 2:59Speaker 4: was twelve. She's back to being a girl, but she's
- 3:02Speaker 4: lost several of the parts that would indicate that and
- 3:07Speaker 4: is speaking out about what happens when you transition, and
- 3:11Speaker 4: more than her bravery just to speak out, the bravery
- 3:15Speaker 4: of speaking out in a world that is going to
- 3:18Speaker 4: come crashing down on her like a ton of bricks
- 3:22Speaker 4: if she thinks the pain of having parts of her
- 3:26Speaker 4: body amputated and mutilated in her cosmetic regenderizing wait till
- 3:37Speaker 4: the weight of the woke world comes crashing down on her. So,
- 3:41Speaker 4: you know, tribute to Chloe Cole speaking out on this issue,
- 3:48Speaker 4: and plenty of new and varied things coming up. Lots
- 3:51Speaker 4: more to get into, including that homework assignment is defending
- 3:56Speaker 4: the US government as an entity, the same as defending
- 4:01Speaker 4: the United States of America. But we must get into
- 4:04Speaker 4: our first things. This morning, it's Epstein Deadline Day in
- 4:07Speaker 4: the stand up comics or at least what passes for
- 4:10Speaker 4: stand up comics. In the evening, want to tell you
- 4:13Speaker 4: that renaming the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing
- 4:17Speaker 4: Arts as the John F. Kennedy Donald J. Trump Center
- 4:20Speaker 4: for the Performing Arts is to distract you from the
- 4:24Speaker 4: Epstein release frustration mounting Department of Justice attorneys are racing
- 4:31Speaker 4: to finish their redactions. Each one of the lawyers in
- 4:34Speaker 4: the DOJ is reportedly handling document sets that exceed one
- 4:39Speaker 4: thousand pages each, cramming for this congressionally mandated Friday release deadline.
- 4:47Speaker 4: Authorities have identified these suspect and Saturday's mass shooting at
- 4:51Speaker 4: Brown University, which left two students dead and nine injured,
- 4:54Speaker 4: and a Massachusetts Institute of Technology nuclear physicist dead in
- 5:00Speaker 4: his classroom hours later, is the same person, Claudio Manuel
- 5:05Speaker 4: nevees Valente, a young man who was just recently admitted
- 5:11Speaker 4: to Brown University in their graduate program. Thursday evening, after
- 5:15Speaker 4: law enforcement officers and tactical gear raided his storage facility,
- 5:20Speaker 4: they found Nevese Valente deceased inside of it. A jury
- 5:26Speaker 4: has found that Milwaukee County judge guilty of obstructing federal
- 5:30Speaker 4: immigration agents during an attempt to serve a warrant at
- 5:33Speaker 4: her courthouse earlier in the year. Judge Hanna Dugan could
- 5:37Speaker 4: serve up to five years in prison on the felony
- 5:40Speaker 4: obstruction count. The US military conducted more strikes against alleged
- 5:46Speaker 4: drug trafficking boats in the Eastern Pacific, killing five people.
- 5:50Speaker 4: According to US Southern Command. President Trump also argued Thursday
- 5:54Speaker 4: that he does not need congressional approval to carry out
- 5:58Speaker 4: ground strikes against Venezuelan drug manufacturing facilities, pushing back against
- 6:03Speaker 4: critics who argue he has already stretched his constitutional authority.
- 6:09Speaker 4: The Department of Energy announced Thursday had signed agreements with
- 6:12Speaker 4: twenty four organizations, including tech giants like Microsoft, Google, and
- 6:17Speaker 4: in Nvidia, to advance the Genesis Mission. The mission is
- 6:21Speaker 4: a national program aimed at using artificial intelligence to accelerate
- 6:26Speaker 4: scientific research and strengthened US energy and security capabilities. The
- 6:32Speaker 4: Department said the program is designed to boost scientific productivity
- 6:37Speaker 4: and reduce reliance on foreign technology. And half of the
- 6:43Speaker 4: roughly eighteen billion dollars in federal funds that supported fourteen
- 6:47Speaker 4: Minnesota run program since twenty eighteen may have been stolen,
- 6:51Speaker 4: according to a federal prosecutor yesterday. Those are some of
- 6:56Speaker 4: our first things this Friday morning.
- 7:01Speaker 6: Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
- 7:04Speaker 6: people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
- 7:07Speaker 6: to look into.
- 7:09Speaker 10: And that's meta share.
- 7:10Speaker 6: Maybe you've heard joining meta share can save you or
- 7:12Speaker 6: your family up to five hundred bucks a month.
- 7:15Speaker 4: And that's huge, but.
- 7:16Speaker 10: It's also true. People are just happier with it.
- 7:18Speaker 6: They love being part of something that reflects and promotes their.
- 7:21Speaker 10: Values and what they believe in.
- 7:23Speaker 6: Meta Share works too. It's been around for thirty years
- 7:27Speaker 6: now and members have shared more than seven billion dollars
- 7:30Speaker 6: of each other's bills. People love having telehealth and a
- 7:33Speaker 6: huge nationwide PPO network. So yeah, really, you can save
- 7:36Speaker 6: a ton and like it better. Imagine being happy with

- 8:08Speaker 12: Yes?
- 8:08Speaker 7: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric

- 13:09Speaker 3: U First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Tunk
- 13:15Speaker 3: making a network.
- 13:16Speaker 21: You ask me if you've been making an announcements, and
- 13:19Speaker 21: I asked you Ornation to make an announcement with the
- 13:22Speaker 21: song man, Please turn mister Wagon's Mike Bosom?
- 13:30Speaker 4: Is this on, mister Green?
- 13:34Speaker 11: Did you turn on?
- 13:34Speaker 22: You asks for me if you would. I am paying
- 13:38Speaker 22: for this microphone, Misty.
- 13:55Speaker 4: Gotta be gotta be on a Friday morning, all fired
- 13:59Speaker 4: up for you. We are paying for these microphones and
- 14:03Speaker 4: it's about time we started acting like it. I asked
- 14:06Speaker 4: this question brought up the story story you heard. I'm
- 14:10Speaker 4: sure quite a bit of In twenty twenty amongst the
- 14:13Speaker 4: zeal And the spasms of trying to remove all vestiges
- 14:19Speaker 4: of the Civil War from our town squares. Schools all
- 14:24Speaker 4: across the nation were scrubbing names of Confederate generals from schools.
- 14:29Speaker 4: It got so crazy that several schools in my area
- 14:33Speaker 4: scrub names of lifelong educators because they were educators during
- 14:38Speaker 4: the era of segregation and didn't do enough to fight it.
- 14:43Speaker 4: It didn't matter whether they taught every black kid they
- 14:46Speaker 4: could find and help lead them to university studies or
- 14:49Speaker 4: anything else. They didn't do enough to end the policies
- 14:52Speaker 4: of segregation. So we have to take their names off
- 14:55Speaker 4: the schools. But one particular school division, Shenandoah School, in
- 15:00Speaker 4: twenty twenty four, as Conservatives started to win elections again,
- 15:06Speaker 4: reversed their decisions and returned the names of Stonewall Jackson
- 15:10Speaker 4: and Robert E. Lee to a high school and to
- 15:12Speaker 4: a middle school. And they're in court. They just finished
- 15:15Speaker 4: the court proceedings on Wednesday. As the NAACP on behalf
- 15:22Speaker 4: of four honors students who happened to be black, are
- 15:29Speaker 4: arguing that their academic performance was harmed despite being some
- 15:34Speaker 4: of the highest grade scoring kids in the schools because
- 15:38Speaker 4: the name was changed back to Stonewall Jackson High School.
- 15:42Speaker 4: And the trial went on and the judge allowed for this,
- 15:46Speaker 4: and I was furious about this. When the judge allowed
- 15:49Speaker 4: for this, he allowed a concept called legislative privilege. Pardon
- 15:57Speaker 4: me again, brain working fast than tongue sometimes, so we're
- 16:01Speaker 4: trying to get catch the tongue up this morning. So
- 16:05Speaker 4: I've heard of executive privilege, and I rail at the
- 16:08Speaker 4: idea of executive privilege just as much as I rail
- 16:12Speaker 4: at the idea of legislative privilege. For the very simple
- 16:18Speaker 4: point made at the opening of this segment, I am
- 16:22Speaker 4: paying for this microphone. We're paying for these microphones and
- 16:29Speaker 4: so frequently. And this ties into my question about whether
- 16:32Speaker 4: or not defending the government of the United States is
- 16:38Speaker 4: the same as defending the United States, because if you
- 16:42Speaker 4: read the Constitution, which Republicans more frequently than Democrats, roll
- 16:48Speaker 4: their eyes when a person like you or me says,
- 16:51Speaker 4: you know, I was reading the Constitution, and guaranteed your
- 16:56Speaker 4: elected representative, Republican especially will roll their eyes inhale deeply
- 17:01Speaker 4: and try to, in some paternal way, explain what you've
- 17:06Speaker 4: got wrong. All right, let me go backtrack and explain
- 17:11Speaker 4: to you why we have the right to do the
- 17:13Speaker 4: things that we do. It's because we allow them to
- 17:19Speaker 4: but we never see a choice. Nobody ever runs and says, hey,
- 17:23Speaker 4: you know what, I'm going to get rid of legislative
- 17:25Speaker 4: privilege or executive privilege. Nobody ever says that. Nobody ever says,
- 17:30Speaker 4: I'm going to get the district Attorney's office to prosecute
- 17:35Speaker 4: crimes as they're committed against legitimate citizens, even if they're
- 17:39Speaker 4: done by somebody who's scored me political points. I'm going
- 17:43Speaker 4: to defend the rule of law as opposed to the
- 17:48Speaker 4: rule of political law. And the idea of legislative privilege
- 17:57Speaker 4: is exactly like executive privilege. There are things you're not
- 18:00Speaker 4: allowed to know because in the execution of their office.
- 18:05Speaker 4: Bull not in this country. Maybe Venezuela can have executive privilege,
- 18:11Speaker 4: but I just have never. And I'm going back to
- 18:13Speaker 4: when I was a rock jock, shock jock throwing making
- 18:17Speaker 4: the world's biggest peanut butter sandwich out of our stunt
- 18:20Speaker 4: boy and all that sitting on billboards and diapers, all
- 18:23Speaker 4: this stuff that true stories and all of them. I
- 18:25Speaker 4: will never hide anything from you full disclosure. So, even
- 18:29Speaker 4: while I was a rock and roll shock jock, this
- 18:31Speaker 4: idea that the government could say, well, we're not discussing
- 18:36Speaker 4: that under executive privilege never never sat right with me.
- 18:41Speaker 4: And then as I get into news and analysis radio,
- 18:45Speaker 4: then we start to run into issues where county executives
- 18:49Speaker 4: are stealing from the county and then when they're caught,
- 18:54Speaker 4: the county government hides behind executive privilege or human resources.
- 18:59Speaker 4: Oh yeah, we can't discuss what happened to the county
- 19:01Speaker 4: executive because it's a human resources matter. I'm sorry, no,
- 19:09Speaker 4: it's not. You don't get to make that argument. You
- 19:12Speaker 4: know why I am paying for this microphone period, and
- 19:21Speaker 4: we have to stop allowing it. Now. What we need
- 19:24Speaker 4: are more people who are going to go in there
- 19:26Speaker 4: like Donald Trump and toss over some chairs, toss over
- 19:30Speaker 4: some tables because the temple has been corrupted. The leaders
- 19:37Speaker 4: of our American Temple are selling indulgences to the highest
- 19:42Speaker 4: bidder and it ain't right and we need to fix it.
- 19:49Speaker 4: And we can because in all of the machinations they
- 19:52Speaker 4: have not taken away the rules that allow us to
- 19:58Speaker 4: do these things. Now have they rig the game to
- 20:01Speaker 4: make it horrifically next to impossible to sure several of
- 20:09Speaker 4: the things. And you've heard me talk about the Permanent
- 20:11Speaker 4: Reapportionment Act, But just about every state gives the Republican
- 20:15Speaker 4: and Democratic Party automatic ballot access. So in order to
- 20:21Speaker 4: not expend all of your time and treasure collecting the
- 20:24Speaker 4: herculean number of signatures necessary to get on a ballot
- 20:29Speaker 4: even for something like the county supervisor or city councilor
- 20:36Speaker 4: you have to kiss the ring of the party, and
- 20:38Speaker 4: you're already then corrupted, unless you're willing to be a
- 20:42Speaker 4: one term Jesse Ventura type who's going to come in,
- 20:47Speaker 4: set off some improvised politically explosive devices and accept the
- 20:53Speaker 4: fact that you ain't going to get to be the
- 20:55Speaker 4: governor or the mayor, or the city councilor for too long.
- 21:01Speaker 4: But you got to really know your parliamentary procedure. You
- 21:05Speaker 4: have to really know how to get things into the
- 21:07Speaker 4: public record so that the explosion of blue ink from
- 21:12Speaker 4: the bank bag that they're carrying will get all over
- 21:15Speaker 4: them and they can't hide from it. But legislative privilege
- 21:22Speaker 4: is what the Shenandoah School District is hiding behind. And
- 21:26Speaker 4: I can't even if it was to bring back the
- 21:28Speaker 4: name of a Confederate general, which shouldn't have been taken
- 21:32Speaker 4: down in the first place. Don't tell me you need
- 21:35Speaker 4: to break one law to fix another law that got broken.
- 21:39Speaker 4: I think there's an expression, Oh gosh, how's it go.
- 21:44Speaker 4: You've probably heard it. It's a famous expression about how
- 21:49Speaker 4: these legislators something about two wrongs and a right. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 21:57Speaker 4: two wrongs don't make a right.
- 22:01Speaker 2: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National League training for Planet Fitness,
- 22:05Speaker 2: and the American Heart Association recommends that we all get
- 22:08Speaker 2: at least one hundred and fifty minutes of moderate aerobic
- 22:11Speaker 2: activity in a week's time. But here's the thing that
- 22:13Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to be
- 22:16Speaker 2: super intense. As a matter of fact, it could just
- 22:18Speaker 2: be you moving your body and doing what you already
- 22:20Speaker 2: love to do, like exercise. And a stronger heart doesn't

- 29:07Speaker 4: downloads are done from an Apple iOS and on a
- 29:10Speaker 4: mobile phone, so I'm pretty sure it's are you thirteen? Well,
- 29:16Speaker 4: you're still using ten. I mean a lot of people
- 29:18Speaker 4: I'm stuck. It's almost a badge of honor amongst the

- 29:33Speaker 4: to watch these folks brag about, you know, how long
- 29:35Speaker 4: they're still you know, making that. Iye work for them that,
- 29:39Speaker 4: even if it is a little bit of a twitchy
- 29:41Speaker 4: I after a time, George Washington no less than and
- 29:47Speaker 4: you know I've said it this way with intent many times.
- 29:51Speaker 4: The two greatest generals when it comes to winning liberty
- 29:55Speaker 4: for others in the history of mankind have both worn
- 29:59Speaker 4: the uniform of the United States, even though it didn't
- 30:02Speaker 4: exist when George Washington donned it. And Dwight Eisenhower both
- 30:09Speaker 4: took time after serving as President of the United States
- 30:13Speaker 4: to warn us against things that were developing, and certainly
- 30:16Speaker 4: this Genesis Project kind of fits in the Eisenhower warnings.
- 30:20Speaker 4: But Washington warned us about partisanship, warned us about faction
- 30:27Speaker 4: trying to pull the US government into doing things to
- 30:30Speaker 4: benefit them. And the country had only existed for eight years,
- 30:40Speaker 4: and that these factions, this partisanship, was already tearing at
- 30:46Speaker 4: a country that had also in only eight years, grown
- 30:51Speaker 4: to e a position of pre eminence to face international
- 30:55Speaker 4: injurygue long before Klaus Schwab took the octopus logo down
- 31:02Speaker 4: from the walls that specter and rebranded it the World
- 31:05Speaker 4: Economic Forum, the globe was trying to pull the United
- 31:10Speaker 4: States towards them economically because we were already prosperous, and
- 31:15Speaker 4: they people wanted to sell our stuff, their stuff to us.
- 31:19Speaker 4: And Washington warned about partisanship, and you look at the
- 31:23Speaker 4: power of the party in the United States. I mentioned
- 31:26Speaker 4: that almost every state has guaranteed positions on the ballots
- 31:31Speaker 4: for Democrats and Republicans. So if you are anointed by
- 31:35Speaker 4: the party, which means you owe something to the party,
- 31:38Speaker 4: you can seek elected office. Then it gets worse because
- 31:42Speaker 4: once you're in elected office, many cases, there are requirements
- 31:46Speaker 4: for you to use that position as an officeholder to
- 31:49Speaker 4: help raise money for the party. So therefore you become
- 31:53Speaker 4: and this goes all the way up through the US
- 31:55Speaker 4: House of Representatives. Committee seats come with a price tag.
- 32:00Speaker 4: So if you want to sit on the Commerce Committee
- 32:02Speaker 4: or never mind, Ways and Means, you've got to raise
- 32:04Speaker 4: some serious money to get on Ways and Means. You
- 32:08Speaker 4: have to raise money for the political party of the
- 32:11Speaker 4: chairman so that they will give you a seat on
- 32:14Speaker 4: that committee. And the more money you raise, the more
- 32:16Speaker 4: likely you are to get onto that committee, regardless of
- 32:20Speaker 4: whether you have any particular insights into what that committee
- 32:24Speaker 4: oversees and rights and approves legislation for This is perhaps
- 32:31Speaker 4: the essential thing that needs to be broken up, and
- 32:34Speaker 4: I think you can do it by simply removing the
- 32:38Speaker 4: idea that a political party, acting as if they're the
- 32:43Speaker 4: fourth and fifth branch of our government, can just automatically
- 32:47Speaker 4: choose who you know fifty percent of the candidates for
- 32:50Speaker 4: an office are, and change you know permanently how this
- 32:57Speaker 4: fund raising through representation can work. And those are two
- 33:01Speaker 4: big steps to fixing where we are now. It doesn't
- 33:05Speaker 4: fix everything, because the real corruption comes from the people,
- 33:09Speaker 4: but the people who are already broken. We're already all
- 33:14Speaker 4: corruptible if we haven't already capitulated to some corruption or another,
- 33:19Speaker 4: whether it be on Jeffrey Epstein's island or in some
- 33:22Speaker 4: other way, shape or form. We all have things that
- 33:24Speaker 4: we wish wouldn't come out so somebody can hang them
- 33:27Speaker 4: over our head guaranteed. Anyway, enough about me, let's talk
- 33:33Speaker 4: about you. What do you think of me? Bob in
- 33:35Speaker 4: Moscow is on with us in his afternoon and our morning.
- 33:39Speaker 4: Good morning, Bob, how are you, sir?
- 33:42Speaker 19: Doing good? And I think you're brilliant?
- 33:45Speaker 4: Can I record that? We record that?
- 33:47Speaker 3: Can we say that?
- 33:48Speaker 4: Can I at least share it with my wife? Anyway?
- 33:52Speaker 4: What did I say that's so brilliant?
- 33:54Speaker 19: Bob Well talking about shnondoah the you know, the judge Well,
- 34:00Speaker 19: I should submit an amicas brief to him, because wasn't
- 34:05Speaker 19: it one of the hosts of a black descent that
- 34:10Speaker 19: her family was slave owners from Spain or Italy and
- 34:14Speaker 19: then moved to Jamaica or Puerto Rico or something, then
- 34:17Speaker 19: they came to the United States.
- 34:20Speaker 4: Isn't that Kamala Harris's story? I thought that was it's
- 34:25Speaker 4: sounding familiar to Kamala Harris.
- 34:29Speaker 19: I thought that was one of the hosts her family
- 34:31Speaker 19: was here. But my issue is, you know, let's go
- 34:35Speaker 19: back to history. Who started slavery. The African tribal lords
- 34:40Speaker 19: were already having black slaves all over the world before
- 34:44Speaker 19: they even came to the United States. And it was
- 34:46Speaker 19: actually two night during businessmen who started the slave trade
- 34:51Speaker 19: in the United States. So therefore any references to black
- 34:56Speaker 19: slaves is harming in to me, meaning to me and
- 35:01Speaker 19: my education and my feelings, because if it wasn't for
- 35:05Speaker 19: them selling those slaves illegally from their country to the
- 35:09Speaker 19: United States, there'd be more jobs and maybe ad the
- 35:13Speaker 19: CEO of olahmart or something, or have a better position
- 35:16Speaker 19: in life.
- 35:18Speaker 4: I could see the I can see the lawyers working
- 35:21Speaker 4: on that case. Sure, and let's not forget you know,
- 35:27Speaker 4: you can go back beyond the black slave trade of
- 35:30Speaker 4: the British East India companies. You know, we're talking about
- 35:34Speaker 4: something that goes back through time in Memoriam. If the
- 35:38Speaker 4: Jews were the slaves of the Egyptians and so Man
- 35:42Speaker 4: has always sought to force other people to do their
- 35:46Speaker 4: work for them sometimes, and I think this is one
- 35:50Speaker 4: of the conceits.
- 35:51Speaker 25: Of the.
- 35:52Speaker 4: Enlightenment or pre Enlightenment Europeans, is that if you didn't
- 35:57Speaker 4: live like them, you must be a savage. And therefore
- 36:00Speaker 4: the logic stream tells them that you're doing them a
- 36:04Speaker 4: favor by dragging them into your servitude and civilizing them
- 36:10Speaker 4: there even though the most uncivilized thing I can think
- 36:13Speaker 4: of is the idea that you can own another human
- 36:16Speaker 4: being like a farm farm animal.
- 36:20Speaker 19: And look at all the Chinese people that were treated
- 36:24Speaker 19: poorly that were building the railroads out west.
- 36:28Speaker 4: Yes, that is so.
- 36:29Speaker 19: It's not just how many whites were the same way,
- 36:33Speaker 19: were slaves all over the world and were slaves in
- 36:36Speaker 19: the United States, just as the blacks were in some
- 36:38Speaker 19: of those areas well, you know.
- 36:40Speaker 4: And that's the thing. But my point, and as we're
- 36:44Speaker 4: coming up on break here, and the thing that we've
- 36:47Speaker 4: spent some time yesterday in the day before, we're not
- 36:49Speaker 4: facing a new civil war in this country. We just
- 36:53Speaker 4: never successfully put out the embers of the last one.
- 36:58Speaker 4: So the winds have kicked up efficiently. It's the same players.
- 37:02Speaker 4: It's all the same players, the Dixie kratz, the techno krats,
- 37:06Speaker 4: the people who believe that there are genetically superior beings.
- 37:14Speaker 4: You know, it's all of the same people that drove
- 37:17Speaker 4: us into the first Civil War are going to sit here.
- 37:21Speaker 19: I got a good idea Hey, why don't we reverse
- 37:24Speaker 19: the roles Instead of all the poor peasant people having
- 37:28Speaker 19: to do, why don't we take all the one percenters
- 37:31Speaker 19: or three percenters and make them the slaves, let everyone
- 37:34Speaker 19: else run the country. I bet we'd have a much
- 37:36Speaker 19: better country.
- 37:37Speaker 22: Yeah.
- 37:37Speaker 4: I can't see Bernie Sanders mopping a floor successfully. I
- 37:40Speaker 4: mean I can see him trying, but I just you
- 37:43Speaker 4: know it's going to be a mess anyway. Bob, you
- 37:45Speaker 4: have a great morning, sir, have a good day or
- 37:48Speaker 4: afternoon out there in Moscow where he's listening to us online.

- 40:59Speaker 21: Hybody Jack Hannah and It's always a boy. Growing up
- 41:02Speaker 21: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 41:05Speaker 21: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
- 41:07Speaker 21: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 41:09Speaker 21: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 41:13Speaker 21: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 41:15Speaker 21: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 41:18Speaker 21: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 41:21Speaker 21: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 41:23Speaker 21: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 41:26Speaker 21: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 41:30Speaker 21: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 41:33Speaker 21: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
- 41:36Speaker 21: at airports.
- 41:36Speaker 22: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom.

- 42:23Speaker 5: call for a ride when it's time to go home.
- 42:25Speaker 5: Buzz driving is drunk driving.

- 44:11Speaker 3: Quit making mornings great again. First Thing Today on the
- 44:16Speaker 3: Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
- 44:30Speaker 4: You know, one of my favorite parts of Washington's farewell
- 44:33Speaker 4: address is he spends three or four very lengthy paragraphs
- 44:38Speaker 4: saying how grateful he is for all the ability and
- 44:41Speaker 4: time he's been offered to serve this land of his.
- 44:48Speaker 4: And after doing that, he says, perhaps I should stop here,
- 44:53Speaker 4: Perhaps I should stop here. But and then goes into
- 44:58Speaker 4: the extent of what remains still to this day of rebuke.
- 45:04Speaker 4: And as he goes into all the things that have
- 45:06Speaker 4: led towards the faction, he says, all obstructions to the
- 45:11Speaker 4: execution of the laws, all combinations and associations under whatever
- 45:16Speaker 4: plausible character, with the real design to direct, control, counteract,
- 45:21Speaker 4: or awe the regular deliberation and action of the constituted
- 45:26Speaker 4: authorities are destructive of this fundamental principle and fatal and
- 45:33Speaker 4: of fatal tendency. So he's already warning about these factions
- 45:40Speaker 4: growing in the constitutional government that he helped bring about.
- 45:45Speaker 4: They serve to organize faction. What Washington goes on to
- 45:49Speaker 4: give an artificial and extraordinary force to put in place
- 45:54Speaker 4: of the delegated will of the nation and the will
- 45:56Speaker 4: of a party, of the delegated will of the nation,
- 46:02Speaker 4: the will of a party, often a small but artful
- 46:05Speaker 4: and enterprising minority of the community, and according to the
- 46:09Speaker 4: alternate triumphs of different parties, to make public administration mirror
- 46:14Speaker 4: the ill, concerted and incongruous projects of faction rather than
- 46:19Speaker 4: the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common
- 46:23Speaker 4: councils and modified for mutual interests. Just saying, and you
- 46:30Speaker 4: consider how many men went to their deaths at the
- 46:33Speaker 4: behest of guys like Dwight, David Eisenhower, and George Washington,
- 46:39Speaker 4: you'd think they have a certain perspective on how to
- 46:43Speaker 4: honor those sacrifices. And I'm not disparaging the works of
- 46:49Speaker 4: guys like Norman Schwartzkof or Patent or Marshall. I'm just
- 46:57Speaker 4: saying that these two men led more people to liberty
- 47:03Speaker 4: through the sacrifices of American soldiers. So when they warn
- 47:08Speaker 4: us about things that we're doing back here that might
- 47:11Speaker 4: render that sacrifice, purian, I think, I think it's important
- 47:17Speaker 4: to take these things to note. And they're not our Kane.
- 47:20Speaker 4: Our friend James Luck and his family have been helping
- 47:24Speaker 4: you invest in gold and silver at breakneck paces for
- 47:27Speaker 4: the last year at least, if not for the last
- 47:30Speaker 4: sixty plus years at jcsgold dot com. James, good morning, sir.
- 47:35Speaker 4: How are things at jcsgold dot com this morning?
- 47:39Speaker 24: Things are off to a busy start so far today, Joe,
- 47:42Speaker 24: Gold and silver are mixed at the moment. Gold is
- 47:45Speaker 24: just at even so far today, four three and twenty
- 47:49Speaker 24: seven dollars, if you can believe it, we call that event.
- 47:54Speaker 24: But silver is up a little bit over half of
- 47:57Speaker 24: percent to sixty five dollars and ninety five holy so
- 48:01Speaker 24: far today. So silver continues to run, which is great
- 48:04Speaker 24: to see.
- 48:05Speaker 4: Dare I ask if you know in the twenty days
- 48:09Speaker 4: twenty two days remaining before twenty twenty five signs off,
- 48:14Speaker 4: signee die, could we see seventy dollars an ounce of silver?
- 48:19Speaker 4: What are you seeing in the tracking of the price
- 48:22Speaker 4: of silver right now or is there any way to
- 48:24Speaker 4: track it?
- 48:26Speaker 24: Yeah, I wish I had a crystal ball. And then,
- 48:28Speaker 24: you know, we talk about this all the time. We
- 48:30Speaker 24: do try to predict markets every once in a while.
- 48:34Speaker 24: I'm not sure how good we are at it, but
- 48:38Speaker 24: we're really you know, we're a buy and hold philosophy here.
- 48:42Speaker 24: But we were talking about, you know, the possibility at
- 48:46Speaker 24: this pace is that silver has been running. If we're
- 48:49Speaker 24: going to see seventy dollars before the end of twenty
- 48:52Speaker 24: twenty five. It sure feels like it at the moment,
- 48:55Speaker 24: but we will see where next week goes, of course,
- 48:58Speaker 24: as it continues to track up.
- 49:00Speaker 4: And this is why I say talk to a family business,
- 49:03Speaker 4: not a call center. Not that call centers don't have
- 49:05Speaker 4: their efficacy, but when you want advice, if you're if
- 49:09Speaker 4: you've here heard all the ads and all of Christendom
- 49:11Speaker 4: over gold and silver investing, and you know, I have
- 49:14Speaker 4: a shut eye because it becomes almost paralysis by analysis.
- 49:18Speaker 4: So many people are hollering outside of talk radio shows
- 49:21Speaker 4: to invest in gold and silver, and you want to
- 49:24Speaker 4: just talk to a family, a mom, a dad, a son,
- 49:29Speaker 4: their their employees about gold and silver and what they're seeing.
- 49:32Speaker 4: That's why I say this is refreshing to get that
- 49:36Speaker 4: perspective of it, and they're not working on you know,
- 49:39Speaker 4: I've got to make my quota by the end of
- 49:41Speaker 4: Friday or anything like that that can corrupt the decision
- 49:45Speaker 4: making of some there, James, So we appreciate that as
- 49:49Speaker 4: always there at jcsgold dot com. And you had said
- 49:53Speaker 4: earlier this week, I think it was maybe it was
- 49:56Speaker 4: late last week, that a lot of silver and gold
- 49:59Speaker 4: investment is is nationalized. It's it's sovereign currencies and and
- 50:05Speaker 4: that kind of thing. I just don't see where one
- 50:08Speaker 4: of these groups would be doing any sort of dump,
- 50:11Speaker 4: which would you know, crash the price of silver, and
- 50:14Speaker 4: that would be about the only thing I'd be worried
- 50:16Speaker 4: about with that, right exactly.
- 50:20Speaker 24: Yeah, Governments are the are the ones that move the
- 50:24Speaker 24: price of gold and silver the way that they've moved
- 50:26Speaker 24: so far this year. Individual investors definitely take advantage of
- 50:31Speaker 24: those prices and we work off off of that spot price,
- 50:35Speaker 24: but we're not the ones that actually move the market.
- 50:38Speaker 24: So governments are not changing anything anytime soon. So, and
- 50:44Speaker 24: especially as you know, technology continues to increase and demand
- 50:49Speaker 24: for electricity and batteries increase. Silver is used in all
- 50:53Speaker 24: of that industry there, so silver is getting used up
- 50:56Speaker 24: and has a high demand industry right now, which which
- 51:00Speaker 24: is contributing to this run.
- 51:02Speaker 4: Absolutely, I had forgotten about that. Part of it is
- 51:04Speaker 4: the unlike gold, which is generally just a precious metal.
- 51:08Speaker 4: I mean Silver's industrial medal as well. There, James, will
- 51:11Speaker 4: you have a wonderful weekend, sir, Thank you for doing
- 51:14Speaker 4: what you do for all the folks who give you
- 51:16Speaker 4: a call after ten Eastern at four three four nine
- 51:20Speaker 4: seven nine coin or just go online and email with
- 51:23Speaker 4: the folks there at jcsgol dot com. We'll talk to
- 51:26Speaker 4: you again soon.
- 51:29Speaker 19: Thanks. Joe.
- 51:30Speaker 4: Four three four eight A two four two one seven
- 51:33Speaker 4: is our phone number. Emails come into JT in the
- 51:36Speaker 4: morning radio at gmail dot com. This one text message
- 51:41Speaker 4: came in from hamp down in on the Treasure Coast
- 51:45Speaker 4: regarding the Brown shooter quote. He had also studied physics
- 51:49Speaker 4: at Brown University from two thousand and one to two
- 51:52Speaker 4: thousand and three. When he took a leave of absence
- 51:55Speaker 4: and I was reading something else hamp about this shooter.
- 51:58Speaker 4: This assailant.
- 52:01Speaker 17: That he.
- 52:03Speaker 4: Is about the same age as the professor at MIT,
- 52:07Speaker 4: and I don't know if police are looking into this,
- 52:10Speaker 4: and the idea that because he has assumed room temperature
- 52:14Speaker 4: it really renders the investigation mood. I don't first and foremost,
- 52:19Speaker 4: as doctor Clark mentioned earlier, how do he get all
- 52:22Speaker 4: the way into a building where kids. This is about
- 52:25Speaker 4: hardening targets. It's not about gun rights or the Second Amendment.
- 52:29Speaker 4: It's about a school taking the responsibility to defend those
- 52:34Speaker 4: students who, by the nature of their educational pursuits, can't
- 52:38Speaker 4: be constantly watching the door to see who's coming in.
- 52:43Speaker 4: You're assuming this warranty, especially if you declare the campus
- 52:47Speaker 4: of your university to be some sort of free zone.
