  Speaker 1: radio on is the first thing today, George.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Said, steal metem.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: You have a day at least for work.
• 0:15
  Speaker 4: When the son comes up, drops a scoop the way
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: Joe has everything a dream all the Jasu needs.
• 0:25
  Speaker 5: No one that Joe's smiled, He only eggs.
• 0:32
  Speaker 6: Excuse me, I just got a great email. The title
• 0:35
  Speaker 6: is worth it.
• 0:38
  Speaker 7: You sarking food is the title of the email. How
• 0:42
  Speaker 7: dare you disparage the name of the great President of
• 0:46
  Speaker 7: the Galaxy by associating him with the mad socialist in
• 0:50
  Speaker 7: New York. His name is Zohan or Zorhan or something
• 0:55
  Speaker 7: like that. Don't you dare disparage the president of the
• 1:00
  Speaker 7: alexy get ze fod people brought to.
• 1:03
  Speaker 6: The name out your mouth?
• 1:06
  Speaker 7: Oh, Mike, I appreciate it, My friend A go you
• 1:09
  Speaker 7: know some levity. On a Friday morning at four three.
• 1:13
  Speaker 6: Four eight eight, two four to two one.
• 1:16
  Speaker 7: Seven, you can text message, you can phone call in
• 1:19
  Speaker 7: on the news of the day. We will in a
• 1:22
  Speaker 7: moment tell you what that news is so that you
• 1:24
  Speaker 7: can conversate thoroughly on it. And uh, we'll go further
• 1:30
  Speaker 7: in And I love days when socialism is on everyone's mind,
• 1:38
  Speaker 7: and so blessed say ood mad money for dragging it
• 1:43
  Speaker 7: out there and unapologetic. I'm got a Joe Bernie Sanders.
• 1:47
  Speaker 7: I mean he's quoting Bernie Sanders the way conservatives quote
• 1:50
  Speaker 7: Thomas Jefferson. And it's just it's a salad day for
• 2:00
  Speaker 7: me when we get to discuss this stuff. Because faster
• 2:09
  Speaker 7: than you can say, Milton Friedman, I unlike Republicans, are
• 2:14
  Speaker 7: not afraid of discussing prosperity and the economy and liberty,
• 2:21
  Speaker 7: and you're being able to make your way with people
• 2:25
  Speaker 7: that you believe in. Too many conservatives don't want to
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: have that conversation. And it's going to be a problem
• 2:36
  Speaker 7: in the midterms because in the midterms you're going to
• 2:39
  Speaker 7: have a lot of folks taking the template that was
• 2:41
  Speaker 7: set in New Jersey and Virginia and New York City
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: of I'm going to make your life more affordable. And
• 2:52
  Speaker 7: that's all you need to hear, and Washern's repeat and
• 2:58
  Speaker 7: it will be repeated congressional district after congressional district. But
• 3:05
  Speaker 7: first we must tell you the news of the day.
• 3:07
  Speaker 7: Are first things this Friday morning, Russian President Vladimir Putin
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski delivered sharply contrasting New Year's
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: Day addresses, surprising that as diplomatic efforts intensified behind the
• 3:23
  Speaker 7: scenes to bring an end to the war going on
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: four years, underscoring their competing narratives. Just after Zolensky met
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: with Donald Trump in Florida, New York's first openly democrat
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: socialist mayor used his inauguration to reject free markets outright.
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: Zorhan Ma'am Donnie pledged to replace what he called rugged
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: individualism with government driven collectivism.
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: Quote.
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: I was elected as a democratic socialist, and I will
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: govern as a democratic socialist, he set outside City Hall.
• 4:01
  Speaker 7: The inauguration aired live for all to see. I will
• 4:04
  Speaker 7: not abandon my principles for fear of being deemed radical,
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: he said, as the great Senator from Vermont once said,
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: what's radical as a system which gives so much to
• 4:16
  Speaker 7: so few and denies so many people the basic necessities
• 4:21
  Speaker 7: of life. Swiss investigators are still investigating what caused that
• 4:26
  Speaker 7: horrific and deadly fire that broke out just after one
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: thirty on New Year's morning, killing forty and injuring grievously
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: in many cases, one hundred and fifteen people in the
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: Lake Constellation bar in the resort town of Crans, Montana.
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: President Trump traded.
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: Barbes over social media with a top Iranian security official.
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: The president warned that if Iran violently kills peaceful protesters
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: in the United States, and we certainly know what that
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: looks like, don't we, the United States will come to
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: their rescue. And so far, at least seven people have
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: been killed in the violence. As the economy crashes in Tehran,
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: Ali Larijani, former parliament speaker who serves as secretary of
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: Iran's Supreme National Security Council, took to his ex account
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: and said that the United States and Israel are behind
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: the riots. President Trump defended his health and his energy,
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: not his energy policy, but his health in an interview
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: with The Wall Street Journal, which confirms reports in Newsmax
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: from earlier in the month that instead of an MRI,
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: he had undergone a CT scan. He said it was
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: suggested by his doctors given his age, but it gave
• 5:49
  Speaker 7: fuel to the fire in the media that he was
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: in ill health, which he declined, which she denied in
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: the interview. And those are our first things today.
• 6:05

  Speaker 1: The First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Joe Thomas.
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: Thank you for joining us.
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: In the temple of Milton Friedman, where.
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: The question what's it worth to you? Is not dirty?
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: Because I love these folks.
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: And value is a word that's kind of woven itself
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: into all of our discussions, whether it's my idea for
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: fixing college athletics or this discussion that while I was
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: pointing out, is that a business that treats its employees
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: well is not going to face the onslaught of Seiu.
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: And I remember when SIU was first formed. I'm like, okay,
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: so you're going to be the union for the hospitality workers.
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: And that was what they were.
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: They were basically, you know, George Soros's hotel workers. And
• 14:32
  Speaker 7: they had grown so tired of, you know, kind of
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: just cleaning up the.
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: Room for you.
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: But what's it worth to you? What is this program
• 14:41
  Speaker 7: worth to you? What is somebody making a sandwich worth
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: to you? Because that's the discussion that has to be had.
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: And that's what zeyfod mad Money and Bernie Sanders and
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: these folks don't want to have, is this conversation because
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: to them, all.
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: You are is a vote.
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: You give them access to the shark tank where they
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: can play monopoly money with other people's money, investing in
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: things that virtue signal for the things they want a
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: virtue signal, and meanwhile grow wealthy in the process. See,
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: you know Nancy Pelosi's investment strategy. I like the meme
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: on the internet that President Trump should put Nancy Pelosi
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: in charge of the Federal Reserve when she leaves office. Yeah,
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: but you won't have the control over the decision making
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: to make herself big money in the stock market unless
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: she does now, by the way, our friends at JCS
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: gold want to see you in the new year. There
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: at four three four nine seventy nine coin two six
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: four six. But at jcsgold dot com right now, gold
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: is up almost eighty bogs since yesterday, just under forty
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: four hundred, but it came down a lot yesterday, so
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: it's at forty three ninety seven forty eight. Silver is
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: back close to seventy five dollars. It's up two dollars
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: ninety cents this morning at seventy four dollars and fifty
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: two cents, up some from yesterday morning at this time.
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: But that's the that's the question, that's the value quin
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: that's the value equation that we have to have. Is
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: what is your labor worth? And it's not just what
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: you think you should make for doing something, what is
• 16:36
  Speaker 7: somebody willing to pay for it? And this is where
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: subsidy screws everything up, because as soon as the government
• 16:42
  Speaker 7: comes in and says we'll pay for that, or will
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: pay for part of that, the pressure on somebody selling
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: a piece of furniture, and this is really kind of
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: where it started was the tariffs on upholstered furniture and
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: stuff like that that the president lifted last night or
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: suspended pro tem until a deal is cut because conversations
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: are ongoing. Okay, that's great, But what is a sofa
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: worth to you? What is a cheeseburger worth to you?
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: That's the question. What are the raw products in making
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: a cheeseburger worth to you? And the time it would
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: take you to make that cheeseburger? What is you taking
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: time away from what you do worth? So let's say
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: let's say you have a job that makes you thirty
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: dollars an hour and you have to spend half an
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: hour making your own cheeseburger. That's fifteen bucks. So is
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: the value of that cheeseburger fifteen dollars? So you don't
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: have to take half an hour away from your efforts
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: and energy.
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: See, this is what we don't talk about.
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: And I am gifted with no grand I mean, I've
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: read Uncle Milty. You know I understand Adam Smith. And
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: no he's not the guy from the Matrix. That's mister Smith.
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: It's agent Smith. And it may be related to Adam
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: Smith for those in the Marxist world. And this is
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: just an education born of common sense and people who
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: actually taught how money moves, how money works, how how
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: work works, and I made the mistake of opening us up.
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: Kareem sent me a Mother Jones article and I feel
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: so much like an ms now host.
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: I'm reading Mother Jones.
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: You know, Rachel Maddow's go to source for information, and
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: it's a report that says Walmart is one of the
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: one of the largest percentages of their workforce on Medicaid
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: or food stamps.
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: Well, first off, Medicaid.
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: You're already throwing the equation off with medicaid because almost everybody,
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: once you get to about sixty five, is going to
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: wind up being on there because even prosperous people like
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: you know what, you know, the cost of my insurance
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: because of Obamacare have driven me out of that market.
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: So even even people with means are getting on Medicaid
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: or Medicare, and you know, depending on your age, So
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: medicaid people working at Walmart, what is it worth if
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: you want a two dollars ninety seven cent widget, will
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: you pay somebody at Walmart to make forty dollars an
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: hour even if it means your widget now costs ten dollars.
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: Because this is what Hugo chaves and Venezuela faced. He
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: forced everyone to pay their employees more, and then the
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: cost of everything went up, so it was a zero
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: sum game. So in order to keep his populism, he
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: instituted draconian price controls, and guess what everyone did, including
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: the grocery stores closed because they couldn't pay enough, they
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: couldn't charge enough, and so he started arresting people for
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: closing businesses. This has in Venezuela, of course, but I'm
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: not going to say that couldn't happen in New York.
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: Econ one oh one? What's it worth to you?
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: And and and just like the discussion of marketing and
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: mourchandizing through collegiate athletics, people think that's a bad thing.
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: It's not.
• 20:31
  Speaker 7: Stop walking around it like it's a sick chicken and
• 20:35
  Speaker 7: understand it. Let me get to you at four three
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: four eight eight two four two one seven. Enough about me,

  Speaker 19: Kim trail in the mist, it was, and it did
• 21:09

  Speaker 7: brought you to call am I wrong about the economics,
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: if we can lift the subsidies out and actually get
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: back to a conversation of what does it cost me
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: to do this and what's it worth for you to
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: buy it from me, we could actually start having a
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: better economy again.

  Speaker 1: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: The second most famous Thomas in Charlottesville.
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: That's it, that's our business model. We will say what
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: other people won't say. But making money and your exchanging value.
• 28:50
  Speaker 28: Is not.
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: The bad thing that everyone makes it out to be.
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: It is simply an expression of value. There's a wonderful
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: scene in the documentary Major League What No Not Documentary?
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: Okay says yeah, I've heard baseball players make lots of money,
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: and Tom Berens just said, oh, yeah, they sure do.
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: And the woman says, well, how much do you make?
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: He said, well, I make the league minimum. But this,
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: you know, what's your value? What is your value? What
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: are you doing for someone else? Because there are a
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: percentage of a population that are going to be the innovators,
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: the guy who's got the idea saying I think I
• 29:37
  Speaker 7: can do this, and then there are going to be
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: the people who say, hey, I want to help. And
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: neither is able to exist in a vacuum without the other.
• 29:49
  Speaker 7: So when you employ somebody, do you, as their salary,
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: express their value to your enterprise or do you act
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: like it's your money, it was your idea and.
• 30:03
  Speaker 19: Suck it.
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: Because if you do, you're gonna wind up with Leo
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: like these Starbucks's and this was this is what started
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: kareem to send me a Mother Jones article so I
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: could pretend I worked for MSNBC.
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: The Mother Jones article is.
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: Like two percent of Walmart's employees aren't Medicaid or food
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: stamps two percent. Two percent. That's not even as high
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: as the rest of the population. But the point I
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: made was that even despite that, Walmart doesn't unionize. And
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: it's not because and I have friends who work for Walmart.
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: It's not because they would threaten you to get be
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: fired if you if you even discuss it.
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: They discuss it all the time.
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: There's always some sei you honk out there saying, oh, unionize, unionized. Meanwhile,
• 30:55
  Speaker 7: Starbucks must be a royal batch of ass hats to
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: work for. Because Starbucks on the planet is unionizing, you
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: would think they're down there fighting black lung disease. Anyway,
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: doctor Clark was on the line and he was going
• 31:10
  Speaker 7: to expound on this theme. So I've got my Adam
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: Smith coloring book out. Doctor Clark, expound away.
• 31:18
  Speaker 19: Take some notes over to the side of the drawings
• 31:22
  Speaker 19: that you're supposed to color. You know, you did bring
• 31:24
  Speaker 19: up Nancy Pelosi before the break and to the Mick
• 31:29
  Speaker 19: Jagger sympathy for the devil for you know.
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: That poor woman.
• 31:39
  Speaker 19: She's not gonna have to learn healthy outsider trading.
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: Now, Joe, Oh, somebody throw a shy glass into the fireplace.
• 31:52
  Speaker 19: That you were talking about the effect that subsidies had
• 31:56
  Speaker 19: on things. And you know, Joe, several weeks ago, I
• 32:01
  Speaker 19: said something on your show that was incorrect, and I
• 32:04
  Speaker 19: apologize and I'm gonna fix it.
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: Okay, Hey, yeah, stop working my side of the street.
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: I'm the one who's supposed to be doing that.
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 32:12
  Speaker 19: Well, I said that China, Islam, and the w EF
• 32:20
  Speaker 19: were the three existential threats to America.
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I left out the biggest one, Joe.
• 32:28
  Speaker 19: When Doades found all the waste with NSAID and all
• 32:36
  Speaker 19: the ways they found, who who did that waste? The
• 32:41
  Speaker 19: answers to these questions are going to be real simple.
• 32:43
  Speaker 19: Just say, our government did all that. Our government, our
• 32:49
  Speaker 19: government who by Fiat just printed dollars and devalued everything
• 32:57
  Speaker 19: that we own.
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: Our government, our government who get good.
• 33:02
  Speaker 19: At this, made it where we couldn't get ammonium, not
• 33:05
  Speaker 19: trade fertilizer and claude grupled the cost of fertilizer for
• 33:11
  Speaker 19: food production.
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: Our government, who.
• 33:15
  Speaker 19: Perpetrated the fraud that's going on we're discovering in Minneapolis,
• 33:20
  Speaker 19: Minnesota right now.
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: Our government, our government.
• 33:24
  Speaker 19: Who stole the twenty twenty election.
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: Our government.
• 33:31
  Speaker 19: Who perpetrated cross by our hurricane, Our government, Joe, the
• 33:38
  Speaker 19: biggest threat to America.
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: Is our government.
• 33:42
  Speaker 7: Well is this a point I made I think earlier
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: in the week. And again, if you're if you've been away,
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: if the Christmas stuff and you've been listening to Mariah
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: Carry songs for two weeks or whatever, I get it
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: in your back and you're trying to get your swerve on.
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: I'm down with it.
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: So if you missed any of the last two weeks,
• 33:59
  Speaker 7: we've been here every morning, and one of those mornings.
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: We discussed this.
• 34:07
  Speaker 7: That another thing we do because we're busy and this
• 34:11
  Speaker 7: is just not the time, but I'm going to do it,
• 34:14
  Speaker 7: is that the United States of America is not the
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: same thing as the United States government. And we have
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: to be clear about this, that this bureaucratic build up
• 34:28
  Speaker 7: and pointing it out is not quote an Unamerican activity.
• 34:33
  Speaker 7: If anything, it's it's quite the opposite. It is the
• 34:36
  Speaker 7: ultimate in patriotism to point out when a bureaucracy has
• 34:41
  Speaker 7: taken the founding principles of the country away and lock
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: them in a little storage cabinet.
• 34:49
  Speaker 19: Well, where are we at now, Joe? Seventy seventy five
• 34:53
  Speaker 19: percent something like that of what our government does is
• 34:57
  Speaker 19: extra constitutional.
• 35:00
  Speaker 7: And it's all based on the president of Well, you
• 35:02
  Speaker 7: let us do it before.
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: And really that is what it all boils down.
• 35:06
  Speaker 7: To is because we let it happen in the sixties
• 35:09
  Speaker 7: or the seventies or the eighties, then therefore we have
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: to continue to let it happen because we let it
• 35:14
  Speaker 7: happen before.
• 35:17
  Speaker 19: Yeah, we need to go find that window open. And
• 35:21
  Speaker 19: I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore.
• 35:23
  Speaker 7: Well, but we know it's on us to get it back,
• 35:26
  Speaker 7: because this is the joy of what I point out.
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: And I know I sound like a Pollyanna, but they
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: have not, in all of this, had the guts, the
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: intestical fortitude to tear up the Constitution. And I'm sure
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: guys like zayfod mad Money would love to take the
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: US Constitution, pack it in more duct tape and put
• 35:50
  Speaker 7: it in the Smithsonian Museum and say we're going to
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: start something new. You know, it's two hundred and fifty years.
• 35:56
  Speaker 7: Let's start something new. Two hundred and fifty years is
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: a nice And I am very nervous going into this
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: Cesska centennial this year of this country because there are
• 36:06
  Speaker 7: people who are going to say, isn't two hundred and
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: fifty years long enough? Let's come up with something new.
• 36:11
  Speaker 7: All the all the cool countries in the world have
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: reconstituted their governments, either after having the entire world bomb
• 36:18
  Speaker 7: them or other reasons, but they've they've reconstituted their way.
• 36:22
  Speaker 7: Why Britain doesn't even recognize the Magna Carta anymore.
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: There's there's a British.
• 36:28
  Speaker 7: Government that's established itself like a giant goida, and we
• 36:32
  Speaker 7: use that instead of Magna Carta. Now, so what's what's
• 36:35
  Speaker 7: with this fetish with the constitution. I'm warning you this
• 36:39
  Speaker 7: year you will hear that argument being made.
• 36:45
  Speaker 19: Let's see, let me break my calculator out. I think
• 36:49
  Speaker 19: two hundred and fifty is ten times more than twenty
• 36:54
  Speaker 19: five and twenty five years ago. New York City said
• 36:59

  Speaker 7: we stand on the wall.
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: We are the ones standing on the wall. Uh.

  Speaker 7: And and hopefully the seventy five or eighty percent of
• 37:22
  Speaker 7: Americans who believe all the things that make America great

  Speaker 7: will start showing up to these polling places and and
• 37:32
  Speaker 7: we we need to fix all these things. And we

  Speaker 7: have to start, you know, with this idea that the

  Speaker 7: American government and the America are the same thing.
• 37:44
  Speaker 19: Well, we need to go from every vote must count

  Speaker 5: I'm Jack Hannah, and it's always a boy. Growing up
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: I'm not only in alle of their beauty and kindness,
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the

  Speaker 5: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 41:33
  Speaker 5: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer

• 44:12
  Speaker 1: On a need to know basis, because you need to
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: know the first thing today.
• 44:17
  Speaker 6: Let me tell you how it all began.
• 44:20
  Speaker 5: In the eighties, making money and living well was all
• 44:22
  Speaker 5: that mattered, and no one did it better than Sherman McCay.
• 44:27
  Speaker 6: Now he was a master of the universe.
• 44:30
  Speaker 19: Sorry, colated, let's not lose our composure over a few
• 44:33
  Speaker 19: hundred million dollars.
• 44:35
  Speaker 6: No one could resist him, not his mistress. Remember the Yeah, yeah,
• 44:40
  Speaker 6: you have that.
• 44:42
  Speaker 7: There's a magic formula, you know. You take a best
• 44:46
  Speaker 7: selling book, so gazillions of copies by one of you know,
• 44:53
  Speaker 7: a highly regarded American author, Tom Wolfe. You you give
• 44:59
  Speaker 7: it Warner Brothers, but big budget. You hire three of
• 45:05
  Speaker 7: the biggest box office stars of the day, Tom Hanks,
• 45:09
  Speaker 7: Meg Ryan and Bruce Willis, and the movie still flopped.
• 45:18
  Speaker 6: You go explain that one to me.
• 45:21
  Speaker 7: But I brought up the reason I bring up the
• 45:24
  Speaker 7: tom Wolf and the Bonfire of the Vanities. We were
• 45:26
  Speaker 7: talking about the crowd outside of the Zoran Mam Donnie
• 45:31
  Speaker 7: swearing in, and was pointed out a lot of blue
• 45:34
  Speaker 7: hairs there, a lot of postman apostle.
• 45:39
  Speaker 6: Caucasian women.
• 45:42
  Speaker 7: Virtue signaling by their votes rather than hiring somebody.
• 45:47
  Speaker 6: And paying them. They do zavods. Zorhan's gonna fix it
• 45:52
  Speaker 6: for me.
• 45:53
  Speaker 7: And I brought up the Bonfire of the Vanities because
• 45:56
  Speaker 7: that's my generation.
• 45:57
  Speaker 6: That's uh, you know.
• 45:59
  Speaker 7: Eric Adams was a classmate of mine at Bayside High
• 46:02
  Speaker 7: School in New York.
• 46:03
  Speaker 6: So was Jordan.
• 46:04
  Speaker 7: Belfort, the Wolf of Wall Street. This was the decade.
• 46:10
  Speaker 7: So the sixty five year olds right now were the
• 46:17
  Speaker 7: stars of the movie that was our life. And now
• 46:27
  Speaker 7: they want, you know, Zorhan, Ma'm Donnie to take care
• 46:31
  Speaker 7: of them because they snorted all the money they made
• 46:33
  Speaker 7: up their nose in the eighties. Teresa, though, writes in
• 46:37
  Speaker 7: with a counterpoint. She says, Joe, it's more than that,
• 46:40
  Speaker 7: because we still have a very large population of the
• 46:43
  Speaker 7: Woodstock generation who taught the bonfire of.
• 46:50
  Speaker 6: The vanities generation. How to live?
• 46:53
  Speaker 7: These were their grandparents. That's fair, yo, Grandma Grandma can
• 47:00
  Speaker 7: in a VW microbust in Hayde Ashbury or at Bethel
• 47:06
  Speaker 7: and Yasgur's farm. The little kids said, hey, you know what,
• 47:11
  Speaker 7: I can make a lot of money and still live
• 47:13
  Speaker 7: that way. And they partied and made money, and unlike
• 47:16
  Speaker 7: Grandma who had no money and did it anyway, they
• 47:20
  Speaker 7: wound up with no money.
• 47:23
  Speaker 6: At the end of it. There's some of that, you know.
• 47:25
  Speaker 7: I certainly think that's where Bernie and the Bernie Sanders
• 47:29
  Speaker 7: crowds roots. But there's a lot of thirty somethings in
• 47:33
  Speaker 7: Bernie's crowd because it's easy. It's the low hanging fruit.
• 47:37
  Speaker 7: It's the pinata saying some greedy bastard has made a
• 47:41
  Speaker 7: lot of money. And there are things substantially that were
• 47:44
  Speaker 7: done in the nineties, especially under Clinton, that deregulated Wall
• 47:48
  Speaker 7: Street and the banking world and the money movement world
• 47:53
  Speaker 7: because Bill Clinton needed and Robert Wright needed to be
• 47:57
  Speaker 7: seen as making a good economy because remember Bill Clinton ran,
• 48:02
  Speaker 7: and the Daisy chain of events is important to this.
• 48:05
  Speaker 7: So George Herbert Walker Bush cuts the defense budget because
• 48:10
  Speaker 7: the Soviet Union collapsed. And I watched Grumming shutting its
• 48:17
  Speaker 7: Calverton facility down on Long Island. I mean they were
• 48:20
  Speaker 7: gone in six months. Are they picking us up? I
• 48:24
  Speaker 7: know it was a holiday schedule. I know we do
• 48:27
  Speaker 7: Saturdays on WRCN. But are we doing the thing today too?
• 48:31
  Speaker 7: I will find out. But if you don't remember, Calverton
• 48:34
  Speaker 7: was a Fighter Jets central, it'd be buzzing you. On
• 48:38
  Speaker 7: twenty five A oh got into one off the factory floor.
• 48:43
  Speaker 7: And you know, six months after Bush cut the defense
• 48:47
  Speaker 7: budget because the Soviet Union had collapsed, our economy was
• 48:51
  Speaker 7: in the dump because we were tethered to the military
• 48:54
  Speaker 7: industrial complex too much. So all these companies that were
• 48:59
  Speaker 7: making computers and cellular communications devices for the military hadn't
• 49:04
  Speaker 7: quite figured out how to sell them to us yet.
• 49:09
  Speaker 7: And it did eventually lead to the dot com boom.
• 49:11
  Speaker 7: But one of the things Bill Clinton and Robert Reich
• 49:14
  Speaker 7: did in the nineties was unhinge a lot of the
• 49:19
  Speaker 7: guardrails around the highway that allows money to traffic to
• 49:26
  Speaker 7: businesses for startup and everything else, because they needed the
• 49:29
  Speaker 7: economy to get well quickly. So there's all sorts of
• 49:37
  Speaker 7: things going on in there. But beware this as we
• 49:41
  Speaker 7: enter this age where this notable democratic socialist is out there.
• 49:46
  Speaker 7: One of the things you're going to hear and we
• 49:48
  Speaker 7: heard it here in our flagship city, and it's a
• 49:50
  Speaker 7: common thing. You hear it in Portland democratic capitalism. So
• 49:55
  Speaker 7: the leftists, the Marxist realized that people like you and
• 49:59
  Speaker 7: me were not buying in their line of kaka. So
• 50:03
  Speaker 7: they came up with phrases like democratic capitalism. Well, you conservatives,
• 50:08
  Speaker 7: you're all capitalists, right, you should love democratic capitalism. Democratic
• 50:13
  Speaker 7: capitalism is where we all vote, or and by we all,
• 50:17
  Speaker 7: I mean whoever shows up to the meeting votes on
• 50:21
  Speaker 7: who gets to have a business. Joe and Elaine Thomas
• 50:26
  Speaker 7: want to buy a radio station, Well we're gonna have
• 50:28
  Speaker 7: a meeting on Tuesday and vote and see if we'll
• 50:30
  Speaker 7: permit that. Why is it your job, Well, Brendan Karr
• 50:34
  Speaker 7: at the FCZ says, you know you got to be watched.
• 50:37
  Speaker 7: You're gonna be taking over on them radio stations. We
• 50:40
  Speaker 7: know that's just like printing money. We can't just let
• 50:43
  Speaker 7: anyone come into our community and print money. And that's
• 50:47
  Speaker 7: truly go to these Planning Commission meetings and these zoning
• 50:50
  Speaker 7: board hearings, and you'll get two percent of the population
• 50:56
  Speaker 7: show up and say, we don't want that B and
• 51:00
  Speaker 7: B or VRBO or that restaurant or that movie theater
• 51:06
  Speaker 7: or that nightclub or that machine shop in our neighborhood,
• 51:13
  Speaker 7: not in my backyard. That is the acronym of the
• 51:16
  Speaker 7: democratic capitalist. So beware the democratic capitalist that's coming next.
• 51:21
  Speaker 7: Now that you've left the democratic socialist into the building,
• 51:27
  Speaker 7: next comes democratic capitalism, which is neither. But you put
• 51:33
  Speaker 7: them together and people think, oh, I'm not against democracy
• 51:37
  Speaker 7: and I'm not against capitalism, so I must be for it. No, no, no, no, no,
• 51:43
  Speaker 7: it is anything. But it's just decentralized Marxism. So all
• 51:49
  Speaker 7: you have to do is get enough people to show
• 51:51
  Speaker 7: up at the board meeting and vote against somebody's business,
• 51:54
  Speaker 7: and you can shut it down, put people out of
• 51:58
  Speaker 7: work just because you don't like their business.
• 52:01
  Speaker 6: He's out guns. We're against guns. Is he breaking the law?
• 52:06
  Speaker 16: No?
• 52:06
  Speaker 7: But it's against our community spirit. He teaches people how
• 52:11
  Speaker 7: to use guns. A dear friend of mine, the city
• 52:15
  Speaker 7: councilor in Waynesboro, Virginia, just open to gunshop. Can you
• 52:19
  Speaker 7: imagine in a world where we get all come to
• 52:21
  Speaker 7: the meeting and soil our panties. Oh, he's going to
• 52:26
  Speaker 7: be teaching people how to shoot guns.
• 52:28
  Speaker 6: We can't allow that.
• 52:29
  Speaker 7: Everyone in favor of not giving his permit. And that's
• 52:33
  Speaker 7: democratic capitalism. Capitalism in and out of itself is the
• 52:38
  Speaker 7: most democratic thing in the world. I vote with my wallet.
• 52:42
  Speaker 7: I don't like your business. I don't go there.
• 52:44
  Speaker 6: You don't survive, simple as that.
• 52:52
  Speaker 24: My name is Bobby.
• 52:53
  Speaker 28: I'm a veteran and lost my leg to a roadside bomb.
• 52:56
  Speaker 28: My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a

  Speaker 28: weightlifting champion.
• 53:00
  Speaker 18: I'm Sam, I'm a veteran.

  Speaker 25: DAV offers veterans of all generations a lifetime of support

  Speaker 25: for victories great and small.
