- 0:05Speaker 1: Fine.
- 0:06Speaker 2: I'm more megan now make America great again than I've
- 0:10Speaker 2: ever been.
- 0:10Speaker 3: Making Hornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
- 0:15Speaker 3: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
- 0:35Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us on this Ted Steam morning.
- 0:39Speaker 4: For those who are new to the idea, what we
- 0:42Speaker 4: do is based on the fact that Ted nugent is
- 0:44Speaker 4: the embodiment of somebody who is confident in their own
- 0:49Speaker 4: self and in what God has gifted them to do.
- 0:51Speaker 1: Therefore, it is.
- 0:54Speaker 4: Vaccinated them against the concerns of what the gnattering knae
- 0:59Speaker 4: bombs have negativism say about him, and therefore he can
- 1:04Speaker 4: go about his day's travails without concern. Just he wants
- 1:08Speaker 4: to make sure he's doing the best he can. And
- 1:10Speaker 4: we all should live that way. And that's the basis
- 1:14Speaker 4: of a Ted sty We all should live that way.
- 1:16Speaker 4: We should all know what God has gifted us to do,
- 1:20Speaker 4: we should all school up in it, and then we
- 1:22Speaker 4: should all apply it to a grateful constituency, and then
- 1:26Speaker 4: we don't need to worry about the haters and the
- 1:29Speaker 4: keyboard warriors out there. Speaking of keyboards, Mike rights into
- 1:34Speaker 4: our text message line. We keep one of those, and
- 1:36Speaker 4: we keep a phone number as well. You can call
- 1:38Speaker 4: us at four three four eight eight two four two
- 1:42Speaker 4: one seven, or you can text to that number. There's
- 1:45Speaker 4: also an email address JT in the Morning Radio at
- 1:48Speaker 4: gmail dot com. Mike writes in I had been discussing
- 1:52Speaker 4: the Save Act and why Republicans are against it, and
- 1:56Speaker 4: I was bringing the analogy back to the early twenty
- 2:00Speaker 4: tens twenty twelve, when doctor Ron Paul was again reminding
- 2:07Speaker 4: us that government spending, government mandated wages, government, all of
- 2:14Speaker 4: these government controls are why we can't afford things. It's
- 2:18Speaker 4: a self licking ice cream cone. Mike and I can
- 2:22Speaker 4: get into it a little bit more. But his question is,
- 2:24Speaker 4: so you and doctor Paul think we should all make less.
- 2:28Speaker 4: That doesn't sound like it's a very winning election electoral idea. Joe,
- 2:33Speaker 4: no wonder, Doctor Paul didn't do very well when he
- 2:36Speaker 4: ran for president.
- 2:37Speaker 1: It's not that.
- 2:39Speaker 4: So we get lost in the immediacy and the progressives
- 2:43Speaker 4: beat us in the immediacy. They hold us to that
- 2:47Speaker 4: immediate like, oh, I have five hundred dollars in my check.
- 2:51Speaker 4: It doesn't matter whether that five hundred dollars buys five
- 2:55Speaker 4: dollars worth of goods or not. You just five five hundred,
- 2:59Speaker 4: and that's a bigger number than four hundred. Let me
- 3:02Speaker 4: get the first things done. We can dig into this more.
- 3:06Speaker 4: It's a bigger issue, it's a deep think thing, and
- 3:11Speaker 4: we can get back into the primary results as well.
- 3:13Speaker 4: Nancy Mace finishing fifth and a four horse race in
- 3:17Speaker 4: South Carolina. But Iran is threatening payback US struck in
- 3:22Speaker 4: country after a helicopter was shot down. Foreign Minister of
- 3:25Speaker 4: Basarachi one that Iran will leave no attack or threat unanswered. However,
- 3:31Speaker 4: negotiators are still talking to one another as this goes on.
- 3:36Speaker 4: Iran is open to a fifteen year Enrichmond Freeze. Leaks
- 3:40Speaker 4: from the negotiation come there. But the leadership of the
- 3:48Speaker 4: Islamic Revolutionary Guard course as they will retaliate for the
- 3:53Speaker 4: US strikes which were in retaliation to Iranian missiles shooting
- 3:58Speaker 4: down an Army helicopter. Energy Secretary is making the circuit now,
- 4:07Speaker 4: saying that the US has increased the number of ships
- 4:11Speaker 4: making it through. Chris Wright said Tuesday, ship traffic through
- 4:14Speaker 4: the Strait of Horror Moves is rising meaningfully. Many people
- 4:18Speaker 4: are seeing the results at the gas pumps. Department of
- 4:25Speaker 4: Homeland Security says they expect to finish the southern border
- 4:29Speaker 4: wall by late twenty twenty seven. The tariff refunds are
- 4:38Speaker 4: not going fast enough for a judge. Trade judge Tuesday
- 4:42Speaker 4: urged the administration officials to speed up refunds of more
- 4:46Speaker 4: than ten billion dollars in collection. However, there's still no
- 4:55Speaker 4: word on how the judge is going to make sure
- 4:57Speaker 4: those get to the customers that paid higher prices at
- 5:00Speaker 4: the storefront for it. The State Department Marco Rubio Proprietor,
- 5:10Speaker 4: is launching a pilot program that will allow foreign visitors
- 5:13Speaker 4: to pay seven hundred and fifty dollars to secure faster
- 5:17Speaker 4: visa interview appointments. The program is set to run from
- 5:21Speaker 4: July first through December thirty first, and of course expecting
- 5:26Speaker 4: pushback from House Democrats and maybe even some Republicans. It
- 5:31Speaker 4: applies to applicants seeking B one and B two visas
- 5:35Speaker 4: for business, tourism or medical travel. And those are some
- 5:39Speaker 4: of our first things this morning. Like I said, we
- 5:41Speaker 4: can get into the primary results Grand Platner one Nancy
- 5:45Speaker 4: Mace didn't, and that we can break it down further
- 5:48Speaker 4: for you coming up here on first thing today, every state.
- 5:53Speaker 5: Is home to significant historic sites that tell the American story,
- 5:57Speaker 5: but not every site is telling that story honestly and fairly.
- 6:01Speaker 5: That's why the Heritage Foundation created the Heritage Guide to
- 6:04Speaker 5: Historic Sites. This interactive guide equips American citizens with the
- 6:09Speaker 5: tools they need to enjoy the sites that depict some
- 6:13Speaker 5: of the greatest moments in our nation's history, analyzing them
- 6:16Speaker 5: for historical accuracy, and provides resources for families or educators
- 6:21Speaker 5: planning a visit. It currently covers over forty five sites
- 6:25Speaker 5: in the thirteen original colonies, but sites from all fifty
- 6:28Speaker 5: states will be added in time for citizens to celebrate
- 6:32Speaker 5: America to fifty this summer. From Mount Vernon to Independence
- 6:35Speaker 5: Hall to Gettysburg and more. Americans deserve transparency, and sites
- 6:40Speaker 5: that steward our history faithfully deserve our gratitude. The Heritage
- 6:45Speaker 5: Guide to Historic Sites invites every American to rediscover the
- 6:49Speaker 5: places and stories that define our nation. Whether it's across
- 6:53Speaker 5: the country or in your backyard. Visit Historic Sites dock

- 7:01Speaker 6: You know it's true, difficult times have a way of
- 7:04Speaker 6: focusing us. We have to think about what matters most
- 7:07Speaker 6: when it comes to our spending our healthcare. This is
- 7:09Speaker 6: why so many people are joining meta share right now.
- 7:13Speaker 6: Metashare is a trusted way to save up to fifty
- 7:16Speaker 6: percent on your monthly healthcare costs. More than four hundred

- 9:37Speaker 10: than from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like

- 9:44Speaker 10: illnesses that can cause mistays of work, hospitalization, and even death.

- 9:53Speaker 10: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
- 9:56Speaker 10: of an infection that can spread from person to person.

- 11:05Speaker 12: you recognize them? By their clothes, their age, the way
- 11:10Speaker 12: they speak? Would you notice a sixteen year old boy

- 11:16Speaker 13: help feed his little sisters.

- 12:51Speaker 17: drunk driving. A message from NITZA and the AD Council Radio.
- 12:56Speaker 5: It's on.
- 13:09Speaker 19: The sounds.
- 13:11Speaker 3: QUI on a need to know basis, because you need
- 13:15Speaker 3: to know the first thing today.
- 13:19Speaker 4: So the point of order and I don't want to
- 13:21Speaker 4: lose the Save Act bit in this and the call
- 13:25Speaker 4: vote to come up with some parliamentary procedure that would
- 13:29Speaker 4: get the Save Act passed Republicans that don't want to
- 13:32Speaker 4: vote for it. Obviously, Democrats don't want to vote for it,
- 13:36Speaker 4: but Republicans don't want to vote for it for a
- 13:38Speaker 4: different reason. And I know that we've been talking about
- 13:42Speaker 4: some of the reasons Republicans turned on the Tea Party
- 13:48Speaker 4: back in the early twenty tens and brought up Ron
- 13:54Speaker 4: pauland the economics of the world and what happens when
- 14:00Speaker 4: the uniparty really first was identified under Ron Paul and
- 14:05Speaker 4: pointing to the manipulations of markets and monies and everything else.
- 14:09Speaker 4: But so during that period a phrase came up, chamber
- 14:16Speaker 4: of commerce Republicans. There's nothing wrong with the chamber of commerce,
- 14:22Speaker 4: but the chamber of commerce becomes more and more politically
- 14:25Speaker 4: connected because of democracy. Not representative Republicanism, but pure old yeah,
- 14:32Speaker 4: everybody gets a vote for everything, and you must pander
- 14:35Speaker 4: for everything democracy. So Republicans were making decisions that were
- 14:42Speaker 4: unconstitutional but helped business leaders, both in their communities and otherwise,
- 14:48Speaker 4: because the government has perverted the commerce clause to a
- 14:51Speaker 4: point where they can help business. US government was never
- 14:56Speaker 4: constituted to be able to quote help business, not at all.
- 15:04Speaker 4: US government was constituted to protect the liberties of the citizens,
- 15:12Speaker 4: and that yes, that included business owners. But if government's
- 15:18Speaker 4: going to manipulate the markets. Well, damn skippy straight, I'm
- 15:21Speaker 4: going to get in there to try to manipulate it
- 15:23Speaker 4: on my behalf. Go back to the phrase only a
- 15:28Speaker 4: moral nation.
- 15:29Speaker 1: Right.
- 15:31Speaker 4: So Mike's question about you know, wow, it sounds like
- 15:34Speaker 4: you want people to make less money, Joe. I want
- 15:37Speaker 4: people to spend less money too. I want things to
- 15:41Speaker 4: cost less. I don't want you to have to make
- 15:47Speaker 4: payments on Oh. We were talking about this over dinner yesterday.
- 15:52Speaker 4: It was really stunning to me that people are now
- 15:59Speaker 4: starting financing programs for food, for fast food. For you
- 16:05Speaker 4: can now, I guess, through the Chipotle app, finance your
- 16:09Speaker 4: dinner because you might not have the twenty bucks it's
- 16:14Speaker 4: going to cost for Chipotle, so you know, you pay it.
- 16:18Speaker 4: And it's stunning to me. It's apparently marketed to college kids,
- 16:28Speaker 4: but you can hit this. I forget the name of
- 16:31Speaker 4: the app. My son was telling me about. It showed
- 16:34Speaker 4: me the thing. Yeah, you can finance your Chipotle drive
- 16:37Speaker 4: through because you might not have fifteen twenty bucks in
- 16:42Speaker 4: your pocket. It's an hour's worth of work. Is that
- 16:46Speaker 4: hour's worth of work worth? You know, a giant bean
- 16:49Speaker 4: burrito with cherizo? It might be but you have to
- 16:54Speaker 4: think about it that way. Maybe it's a half an
- 16:58Speaker 4: hour's work. Good on you. But the economics of the
- 17:03Speaker 4: world have led us to a place where people like
- 17:06Speaker 4: Marjorie Taylor Green for our friends down at WBLJ and
- 17:11Speaker 4: Dalton bailing on the conservative principles of only US voters
- 17:21Speaker 4: voting in elections because she realized that she has illegals
- 17:25Speaker 4: working for her husband's construction company and that they wouldn't
- 17:29Speaker 4: be able to compete with other maldoers. And much of
- 17:36Speaker 4: this was first identified when one of the other simple
- 17:41Speaker 4: things like the Save Act came along. This is why
- 17:45Speaker 4: Republicans hate bills like this because it outs them. When
- 17:56Speaker 4: the idea of businesses being required to perform background checks
- 18:05Speaker 4: on their employees to make sure that they are citizens
- 18:14Speaker 4: the Chamber of Commerce, Republicans balked at that, saying, my
- 18:18Speaker 4: business owners don't want to do that.
- 18:20Speaker 1: Why Why don't.
- 18:21Speaker 4: Your business owners want to be held accountable if they
- 18:25Speaker 4: hire somebody that's not a citizen?
- 18:28Speaker 1: Huh?
- 18:30Speaker 4: On behalf of the citizens who make much more money.
- 18:33Speaker 4: This is why I said last hour, and I've said
- 18:37Speaker 4: countless times before that the battlefield is the same. The
- 18:44Speaker 4: battlefield is the same as it was in eighteen twenty six.
- 18:54Speaker 4: The battle is over whether or not you're allowed to
- 18:57Speaker 4: have a permanent underclass, permanent servant class. That certainly costs
- 19:04Speaker 4: you some money, but not as much as hiring somebody
- 19:07Speaker 4: a citizen at full freight. It was going on in
- 19:14Speaker 4: eighteen twenty six, and it's going on in twenty twenty six.
- 19:19Speaker 4: People's exhibit A to take Jake Fry, the mayor of
- 19:23Speaker 4: Minneapolis and his hair product, told us all that the
- 19:28Speaker 4: battle over ice in his city is the battle to
- 19:31Speaker 4: protect our of his words, not mine, hour of boilers
- 19:35Speaker 4: and bus boys. So apparently the wealthy Minnesotans are hiring
- 19:42Speaker 4: non citizens to look after their kids, and of course
- 19:46Speaker 4: the defense is but Joe, I can't afford to pay
- 19:49Speaker 4: somebody twenty five dollars an hour to do this, And
- 19:52Speaker 4: if I only have ten dollars an hour, Americans don't
- 19:55Speaker 4: want to work for that. You know why, Because Americans
- 19:59Speaker 4: have to make car payments. Americans apparently have to finance
- 20:02Speaker 4: their lunch. This is going around and around, and it
- 20:07Speaker 4: continues to swirl around the devaluation of money. It is
- 20:11Speaker 4: why Richard Nixon didn't have the intestinal fortitude to keep
- 20:17Speaker 4: us on the gold standard, because if we were still
- 20:20Speaker 4: on the gold standard, we couldn't print piles and piles
- 20:24Speaker 4: and piles of additional money to keep paying the obligations
- 20:29Speaker 4: laid out in the Great Society programs, and those have
- 20:34Speaker 4: just grown sins. That's why Republicans don't support the Safe Act,
- 20:41Speaker 4: because they want that permanent underclass of people who are
- 20:46Speaker 4: quote doing jobs Americans don't want to do. It's not
- 20:49Speaker 4: that Americans don't want to do those jobs, it's just
- 20:52Speaker 4: that Americans need to get paid more for them. And
- 20:55Speaker 4: why do Americans need to get paid more for them?
- 20:58Speaker 4: Because the government continues to print, he devaluing the dollars
- 21:01Speaker 4: in their pocket. So you know that check for five
- 21:04Speaker 4: hundred dollars you've got in compared to nineteen sixty dollars
- 21:09Speaker 4: only buys you like fifty bucks worth of stuff. This
- 21:14Speaker 4: is the point doctor Paul was trying to make in
- 21:17Speaker 4: twenty twelve, and you know, nineteen ninety two and every moment,
- 21:23Speaker 4: you know, he's been around his son, you know, tries
- 21:26Speaker 4: as best he can, but he's trying to, you know,
- 21:29Speaker 4: stay in the Senate because certainly being in the Senate,
- 21:33Speaker 4: you might you think.
- 21:35Speaker 1: Have a little bit more opportunity.
- 21:37Speaker 4: Yeah, I understand he battles Trump on things, but he
- 21:41Speaker 4: you know, he and his family have been one of
- 21:43Speaker 4: the lone clarion voices for understanding that a lot of
- 21:48Speaker 4: this problem is driven by pandering through our labor laws
- 21:53Speaker 4: and our crony capitalism through the perversion of the commerce
- 21:57Speaker 4: clause of the Constitution.
- 22:02Speaker 7: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
- 22:06Speaker 2: Yes?
- 22:07Speaker 7: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
- 22:12Speaker 7: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
- 22:17Speaker 7: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
- 22:22Speaker 7: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
- 22:27Speaker 7: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 22:31Speaker 7: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
- 22:35Speaker 7: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
- 22:38Speaker 7: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
- 22:41Speaker 7: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate nitric Oxide,

- 28:54Speaker 4: kids who're saying we don't need no education.
- 28:57Speaker 1: Still lawsuits.
- 28:58Speaker 4: As far as I understand that going on with that,
- 29:01Speaker 4: Pink Floyd Debago has a hit song, certainly, but you
- 29:05Speaker 4: know there's always somebody with a handout somewhere. Especially, it
- 29:08Speaker 4: was things get harder and harder to pay for, and
- 29:13Speaker 4: Carville was right, it is the economy stupid.
- 29:15Speaker 1: I know that, you know, people want to call.
- 29:17Speaker 4: And talk about Nancy Mace and the primary results and
- 29:21Speaker 4: grand Platner and all of that, but in the grander
- 29:23Speaker 4: scheme of things, not to be pedantic, but you know,
- 29:26Speaker 4: our ability to pay our bills is what people like
- 29:30Speaker 4: Graham Platner and Nitia Raman all prey on. Is that, Okay,
- 29:39Speaker 4: there's some rich guy out there. Grandpa Beijing. Bernie is, oh,
- 29:43Speaker 4: I'm going to go get the rich guys and make
- 29:45Speaker 4: them pay. We did the math for you just the
- 29:47Speaker 4: other day, and you know how dangerous it is for
- 29:50Speaker 4: me to do arithmetic live on the radio. New York
- 29:54Speaker 4: City public schools. Me and the forty five other kids
- 29:57Speaker 4: that were in my math classes. They all clinch, Oh, no,
- 30:01Speaker 4: Joe's doing math on the radio. But we showed you
- 30:04Speaker 4: that if you took every dollar from every wealthy person
- 30:08Speaker 4: on the planet, you only get halfway to paying off
- 30:12Speaker 4: the US debt. And oh, by the way, now we
- 30:15Speaker 4: all don't have jobs because all those wealthy people lost
- 30:19Speaker 4: everything and now their companies are all shut down.
- 30:22Speaker 1: Thanks for playing. Have a nice day.
- 30:24Speaker 4: But I digress just a moment here, because our friend
- 30:27Speaker 4: James Lunk is on the phone with us. He gets it.
- 30:30Speaker 4: His family has been buying and selling gold and helping
- 30:32Speaker 4: people do same at jcsgold dot com for a long time.
- 30:37Speaker 4: I know that jcsgold dot com as an enterprise didn't
- 30:41Speaker 4: exists in nineteen sixty one when the company founded, but boy,
- 30:46Speaker 4: you guys have been helping folks since the Kennedy administration
- 30:49Speaker 4: buy and sell gold.
- 30:50Speaker 1: James, how are you doing this?
- 30:51Speaker 26: Ted Steam morning, I'm Joan wal Joe, and you're exactly right.
- 30:57Speaker 19: We have been here.
- 30:59Speaker 26: Really is offering the service of the place where people
- 31:03Speaker 26: you know, can trust and see price transparency through our
- 31:07Speaker 26: website at jcsgold dot com and they can purchase gold
- 31:12Speaker 26: and silver, and then if they need to divest from
- 31:14Speaker 26: gold and silver, we can offer those services as well,
- 31:18Speaker 26: and goldensilver on a discount quite a bit.
- 31:21Speaker 19: This morning.
- 31:22Speaker 26: Gold is at near to the lowest level we've seen
- 31:26Speaker 26: in a few months.
- 31:27Speaker 19: Here.
- 31:28Speaker 26: Gold is down two percent today, down ninety one dollars
- 31:30Speaker 26: to four one hundred and sixty eight dollars. Silver is
- 31:35Speaker 26: down one and three quarter percent to sixty four dollars
- 31:38Speaker 26: and twenty two cents.
- 31:40Speaker 19: I'm expecting here.
- 31:41Speaker 26: Last time gold was at this level, we saw a
- 31:43Speaker 26: lot of buying people taking advantage of these discounts here
- 31:48Speaker 26: in gold. So take a look at our charts there
- 31:50Speaker 26: at jcsgold dot com and you can see kind of
- 31:53Speaker 26: the last time that gold was at this level and
- 31:55Speaker 26: then where it went from there. So it'll be interesting
- 31:57Speaker 26: to see how this one plays out.
- 31:59Speaker 4: And to your point, and James, you and I have
- 32:01Speaker 4: talked about this in the past as well, gold as
- 32:04Speaker 4: a historical currency. Our buddy Andy will groove on this
- 32:09Speaker 4: as well. I mean, you use the same amount of
- 32:12Speaker 4: gold in nineteen sixty one to pick a landmark when
- 32:15Speaker 4: you guys opened to buy a house as you do.
- 32:18Speaker 19: Now, that's exactly right.
- 32:21Speaker 26: Yeah, real estate priced in gold has stayed the same,
- 32:26Speaker 26: you know over even the past one hundred years, real
- 32:29Speaker 26: state price in gold has has really stayed the same
- 32:31Speaker 26: as the dollar value and shows you just how little
- 32:37Speaker 26: you know your dollar You know, helps you out in
- 32:41Speaker 26: that sense because it takes way more dollars to buy
- 32:44Speaker 26: gold these days. It takes way more dollars to buy
- 32:46Speaker 26: real estate these.
- 32:47Speaker 1: Days, but priced and gold.
- 32:49Speaker 19: Real estate and gold have.
- 32:51Speaker 26: Really tracked together over that time period, which is interesting.
- 32:54Speaker 4: As the expression goes worth its weight in gold came
- 32:58Speaker 4: from somewhere, right, James Sgold dot com. Call this family business.

- 33:31Speaker 18: Joe?
- 33:31Speaker 19: It's Kareem.
- 33:31Speaker 1: Hey, Kareem. How are you doing, my friend?
- 33:34Speaker 19: I'm doing well. I'm enjoying the scenes in western Pennsylvania.
- 33:37Speaker 4: Oh you know, that's that's good stuff out there. You
- 33:40Speaker 4: heading to Pittsburgh. Eerie, what part of Western Pa? You're
- 33:43Speaker 4: we're going to be out there on the eleventh out
- 33:45Speaker 4: in Shanksville.
- 33:48Speaker 27: In fact, yes, Pittsburgh. But I've passed the Shanksville Memorial
- 33:52Speaker 27: Sign and thought of you.
- 33:53Speaker 1: Oh well, thank you about that. So what's on your mind?
- 33:57Speaker 19: Oh again, Joe, A lot of sage you spread.
- 34:01Speaker 4: Going back and minorit to fertilize it too, So okay.
- 34:07Speaker 27: Well fertilized. Going back to nextest, touch on for a
- 34:10Speaker 27: brief minute. It was one of Nix's policies to create
- 34:14Speaker 27: a better division between the Soviets and the Chinese.
- 34:17Speaker 19: That's why he went to China and.
- 34:19Speaker 27: Essentially brought them up out from where they were to
- 34:21Speaker 27: where they are now and hearing on in the last
- 34:24Speaker 27: few years and we've made them closer together than ever.
- 34:27Speaker 27: But going back to Martin kind of green, could you
- 34:30Speaker 27: play the clip where she admits that it's.
- 34:33Speaker 1: On the internet.
- 34:34Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and I had it when she said it.
- 34:36Speaker 4: And the trouble is, my archiving system is archaeological, so
- 34:41Speaker 4: I'm going to have to scroll back to that.
- 34:42Speaker 1: That was back in December. I think she said it,
- 34:45Speaker 1: but yeah, she admitted it.
- 34:46Speaker 27: And I'll send you the clip By the way, we're
- 34:50Speaker 27: kind of up on a break, arn't with Joe.
- 34:51Speaker 1: Well, you just you know, finish your thought.
- 34:53Speaker 19: It's all good, Okay, a lot to go through purchasing power.
- 35:00Speaker 27: That's you know, making more, you're not. It's ingenuous question,
- 35:05Speaker 27: that's not wrong thing to say, a tease. I think,
- 35:09Speaker 27: of course I'm inviting all tax in my own comments
- 35:12Speaker 27: for that. But you're wanting purchasing power to increase. So
- 35:17Speaker 27: it's okay if you make less, it's okay if they're sorry,
- 35:21Speaker 27: my apologies. It's okay if we don't have an increase
- 35:25Speaker 27: in wages as long as what we're able to purchase
- 35:28Speaker 27: doesn't go down, as long as we make enough to
- 35:30Speaker 27: cover what we want, what we need, and what we
- 35:33Speaker 27: plan for.
- 35:34Speaker 4: Yeah, the point I was making, no, No, it's it's
- 35:39Speaker 4: that you want to be able to make enough money
- 35:44Speaker 4: to pay for what you need, but people who have
- 35:48Speaker 4: the things you need will price it based on your
- 35:51Speaker 4: ability to pay for it. And that's where the subsidization
- 35:56Speaker 4: and the no offense, the easy credit, and you know,
- 36:01Speaker 4: to the point where we're financing Chipotle purchases has done
- 36:06Speaker 4: us dirty because like healthcare insurance, it is going into
- 36:11Speaker 4: the marketplace and skewed the the natural pressures of the
- 36:20Speaker 4: of the marketplace. Uh and and thrown it completely off.
- 36:25Speaker 4: So you're not getting an actual look at it anything else.
- 36:29Speaker 27: Two points before I uh ahead, let go that way
- 36:33Speaker 27: you can do. The first one is energy costs.
- 36:35Speaker 12: Uh.
- 36:36Speaker 27: This ship and China kind of bringing it back. All
- 36:38Speaker 27: that is because of cheap energy. We can look at
- 36:41Speaker 27: the Battle of the Bulge movie. I like to use
- 36:43Speaker 27: movies because usually that's such originally told for that it's
- 36:46Speaker 27: easily accessible.
- 36:47Speaker 19: In people's memories.
- 36:48Speaker 27: For reference, the cake that the German leader, George George
- 36:55Speaker 27: Shawtt was that the actor's name George.
- 36:57Speaker 4: Yeah, you not George shaw You know he was in
- 37:03Speaker 4: Jaws as well. I know who you're talking about.
- 37:05Speaker 19: Yes, So the cake is an example.
- 37:08Speaker 27: He used that the Americans were okay, they had enough
- 37:11Speaker 27: fuel to fly the cake over that's where we get
- 37:13Speaker 27: our fuel from.
- 37:14Speaker 19: And so they.
- 37:15Speaker 27: Tried to the tanks, tried to go get the fuel,
- 37:17Speaker 27: but it was a silent figure because didn't have enough fuel. Okay,
- 37:21Speaker 27: So are right now our energy reserve strategic energy reserves,
- 37:25Speaker 27: which we started in the early nineteen eighties are at
- 37:28Speaker 27: their lowest point my understanding.
- 37:31Speaker 1: Ever, Well, yeah, they are.
- 37:33Speaker 4: But that's another one of these news stories that's not meaningful.
- 37:38Speaker 4: It's a story, it's not untrue, but it's without context.
- 37:44Speaker 4: The price that you're paying at the gas pump for
- 37:46Speaker 4: the diesel in your truck roam is not driven by.
- 37:49Speaker 1: The strategic oil reserves. I'll get into that.
- 37:53Speaker 4: You're right, though, Break is here to take care of

- 39:37Speaker 7: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 39:43Speaker 7: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 39:46Speaker 7: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

- 42:27Speaker 2: Whom did you know that more than half our household
- 42:31Speaker 2: energy costs go.
- 42:32Speaker 1: To heating and cooling.
- 42:34Speaker 2: Energy efficiency isn't just good for the environment, it means
- 42:37Speaker 2: lower utility bills too. One way to reduce your energy
- 42:42Speaker 2: waste is a home energy assessment. Your utility company can help,
- 42:46Speaker 2: or you can learn how to do it yourself at
- 42:48Speaker 2: energysavers dot gov. That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to
- 42:52Speaker 2: look for air leaks around windows and doors, check ducks
- 42:56Speaker 2: for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time to cut
- 42:59Speaker 2: energy costs is when you shop for a new appliance.
- 43:02Speaker 2: Look for the energy Star logo and read the energy
- 43:05Speaker 2: guide label. And there are day to day things you
- 43:08Speaker 2: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 43:11Speaker 2: in the summer, close fireplay stampers when they're not in use,

- 44:12Speaker 3: We didn't make talk radio, we made it a better
- 44:14Speaker 3: first thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 44:42Speaker 4: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
- 44:45Speaker 4: this morning. Four three four eight A two four two
- 44:50Speaker 4: one seven. That is a multitasker because I know how
- 44:54Speaker 4: mornings are, and that's why so many folks text in
- 44:56Speaker 4: because they don't have the time to sit and have
- 44:59Speaker 4: a conversation with me, because.
- 45:03Speaker 1: I will talk.
- 45:06Speaker 4: I guess it's good that I've picked this particular milieu
- 45:09Speaker 4: to get a little annoying at the drive through of
- 45:13Speaker 4: a Burger king, wouldn't it. But you can text message
- 45:16Speaker 4: to me there or make the phone call and we'll chat,
- 45:20Speaker 4: like we did with Kareem just a moment ago, and
- 45:23Speaker 4: he brought up the strategic oil reserve and the story
- 45:26Speaker 4: came up. Somebody enterprised it at I think Associated Press yesterday.
- 45:32Speaker 4: Oh look, the strategic Oil reserve has gone way down.
- 45:35Speaker 1: It's lower than it's ever been.
- 45:37Speaker 4: That This is like saying we have twice as many
- 45:39Speaker 4: measles cases as we did last year. Okay, last year
- 45:43Speaker 4: we had two. This year we have four. The news
- 45:46Speaker 4: story is not lying, it's misrepresentative of it. The US
- 45:56Speaker 4: strategic oil reserve is, to be fair, a bit of pandering,
- 46:02Speaker 4: a little bit of political theater. Oh yeah, we have
- 46:05Speaker 4: a strategic oil reserve. It was designed to be there
- 46:10Speaker 4: for military operations if in any event that we were
- 46:15Speaker 4: involved in a military operation where our military couldn't get
- 46:22Speaker 4: by the way, Robertshaw.
- 46:27Speaker 1: Joining us in progress.
- 46:28Speaker 4: Because having an incident that we should we were just
- 46:32Speaker 4: shouting names out in the middle. It's Hollywood tourettes. I
- 46:37Speaker 4: just yelled the names of movie stars out in the middle.
- 46:40Speaker 4: But Kareem was talking about Battle of the Bulge, and
- 46:48Speaker 4: our military reserves for crude oil have been depleted as
- 46:54Speaker 4: we are using a bit of it to conduct operations,
- 46:58Speaker 4: some of it getting shot down by Iranian missiles, some
- 47:02Speaker 4: of it sailing US missiles into position to battle with
- 47:07Speaker 4: Iran in a war that honestly, we could have fought
- 47:11Speaker 4: two hundred and forty years ago. Thomas Jefferson thought we
- 47:14Speaker 4: probably needed to and would have been done with this.
- 47:19Speaker 4: And there's a bigger battle going on with the Islamists.
- 47:24Speaker 4: And it's not just you know who controls the strait
- 47:27Speaker 4: of Hormuz. It's about the same thing that Catholics and
- 47:33Speaker 4: Jews have faced before.
- 47:35Speaker 1: Is that a world?
- 47:36Speaker 4: And this is a bigger question, This isn't more deep
- 47:39Speaker 4: think than even the economy. What parts of your faith,
- 47:44Speaker 4: of the of the following of your faith should you
- 47:50Speaker 4: be asked to give up to be part of a
- 47:52Speaker 4: larger community. And in many cases countries are not constitute
- 48:00Speaker 4: in a way the United States is in the United
- 48:02Speaker 4: States is uniquely constituted to I believe, and doctor Zudi
- 48:09Speaker 4: Jasser at the American Islamic Forum for Democracy agrees, this
- 48:14Speaker 4: is the only country that has the intellectual and political
- 48:21Speaker 4: pedigree to say to the Islamists, listen, sure you read
- 48:27Speaker 4: the Quran, to say you can kill the infidel in
- 48:32Speaker 4: this country, you go to prison for the rest of
- 48:34Speaker 4: your life. And in many of the states they have
- 48:37Speaker 4: an electric chair, an injection table, or maybe we'll just
- 48:42Speaker 4: get some rope and a two by four.
- 48:47Speaker 1: So you can't.
- 48:50Speaker 4: Because in this country we view all people as citizens.
- 48:54Speaker 1: The Islamists only views his particular sect.
- 48:58Speaker 4: I mean there's even within Suni Shia, all of that
- 49:02Speaker 4: you start to get into.
- 49:06Speaker 1: That. But our strategic oil reserve was set aside to
- 49:10Speaker 1: make sure our battleships and our tanks and everything is
- 49:13Speaker 1: kareem brought up.
- 49:14Speaker 4: Have oil and gas diesel not it's not for the marketplace.
- 49:20Speaker 1: And the marketplace this is a quick point.
- 49:24Speaker 4: So about half of the price of a gallon of
- 49:29Speaker 4: gasoline comes from crude oil costs.
- 49:31Speaker 1: What is what is crude oil? Right now?
- 49:36Speaker 4: I can just go to JCS gold dot com. They
- 49:41Speaker 4: keep that track there because that you can compare it
- 49:43Speaker 4: to the price of gold. But it would be that
- 49:49Speaker 4: as it may. So it's about fifty percent of the
- 49:52Speaker 4: price of the pump. Okay, so it's down to eighty
- 49:57Speaker 4: seven dollars eighty three cents, which, by the way, way
- 50:01Speaker 4: is what a lot of economists say is about right.
- 50:04Speaker 4: I mean, you get down seventy five is probably the
- 50:08Speaker 4: lowest you want to go. There was a point during
- 50:11Speaker 4: Trump one where it was down under fifty five dollars
- 50:15Speaker 4: a barrel, and you think, well, that's great, except that
- 50:18Speaker 4: a lot of American oil well operators were shuttering their
- 50:23Speaker 4: operations because they couldn't afford to employ their employees. You
- 50:30Speaker 4: see what you go back to what we were talking
- 50:31Speaker 4: about half an hour ago. So yeah, sure it sounds
- 50:35Speaker 4: good to say a barrel of oil is only fifty
- 50:36Speaker 4: dollars a barrel, but now we only get it from
- 50:40Speaker 4: Saudi Arabia or Iran, where the people working on the
- 50:44Speaker 4: pipeline ain't making forty dollars an hour. Just saying this
- 50:49Speaker 4: is these are the economic truths you have to look at.
- 50:54Speaker 4: So about half of that gallon of gas that you're
- 50:56Speaker 4: paying for, and this is part and parcel of why
- 50:59Speaker 4: gas prices have come down, at least around me, they
- 51:02Speaker 4: have I hope they have around you. But then another
- 51:10Speaker 4: forty percent is refining and distribution. So America's green fixation
- 51:19Speaker 4: has had us closing refineries faster than you can say,
- 51:23Speaker 4: Bruce Springsteen thunder Road. So about forty percent of the
- 51:31Speaker 4: so we can't refine it anyway, and that's what's being
- 51:34Speaker 4: cut off in the Strait of Horn Moves is access
- 51:37Speaker 4: to most of the world's refining capabilities. And then about
- 51:43Speaker 4: eighteen percent is taxes. For the first time in our travels,
- 51:49Speaker 4: we went up to New York for that industry conference,
- 51:51Speaker 4: and we drive through Virginia and Pennsylvania and New Jersey,
- 51:56Speaker 4: to get into New York for this talk radio conference,
- 52:00Speaker 4: and for the first time in decades, we bought all
- 52:05Speaker 4: of our gas in Pennsylvania. Why because Governor Shapiro suspended
- 52:10Speaker 4: most of the gas tax in Pennsylvania. So driving a
- 52:15Speaker 4: newer car, we were able to stop at all the
- 52:18Speaker 4: sheets in Virginia and Pennsylvania and get the eighty eight
- 52:21Speaker 4: octane with the ethanol in it.
- 52:23Speaker 1: It's about a dollar.
- 52:24Speaker 4: Less per gallon, but even that, compared to Virginia, it
- 52:31Speaker 4: was still higher. It just was lower than New Jersey
- 52:34Speaker 4: or New York were because Shapiro said, maybe we should
- 52:41Speaker 4: suspend the gas tax. That's like twenty percent of the
- 52:44Speaker 4: cost of a gallon of gasoline our yr state and
- 52:48Speaker 4: federal gas taxes.
- 52:51Speaker 14: Crime across the country is at an all time high.
- 52:54Speaker 14: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
- 52:56Speaker 14: a risk. We don't want the feeling of being unprotected
- 52:59Speaker 14: and vulnerable. We found GETCCL dot com. Get CCL dot
