  Speaker 2: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: on this Tedsday morning. And I want to just get
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: something out of the way. I've seen the headlines, I've
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: had the askance looks, and I know you know, so
• 0:55

• 0:59
  Speaker 2: there are photographs of me somewhere along the social media
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: highway in an adult diaper. Well, I mean it seems
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: to be all the press can get on right now.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know, there's been people charging the president with
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: guns and everything else, but they're like, hey, did you
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: see did you see the bulge in his pants? This
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: is this is what we have devolved to. And yeah,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I'm actually not lying. There is there are photographs of
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: me and my partner at the time, Corey Gallant, on
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: a billboard that everyone was complaining about. So we donned
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: adult diapers for people who were being somewhat babyish regarding
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: a billboard promoting our particular radio station. Sure it had
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Jack of Orkian's face on it, but I mean, you know,

• 1:59
  Speaker 2: a diaper I'm wearing, yes, and we are standing on
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: a billboard where we were broadcasting from. And that was
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the more perilous part. I thought. The difficult part was
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: getting the adult diaper on. And then they said, okay,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: we're going to bring you up to the billboard now
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: and you can stand there for four hours and do
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: a radio show. Well that was That was a frolic

  Speaker 2: I mean, the aggregate age of the hosts of the
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: view somewhere near half a cent. But yeah, listen, and
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: what happened to shaming. I thought shaming was something we
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: weren't supposed to because millions of Americans were adult diapers
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: every day. In any event, the things that actually happened
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: that might matter. King Charles the Third marked the two
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: hundred and fiftieth anniversary of American independence from Britain early,
• 3:28

• 13:49
  Speaker 9: be a true?
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Four three four eight a two four two one seven.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: That is the phone number. Emails come into JT in
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: the Morning Radio at gmail dot com. I'm I'm sure
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: that's unquestionable, but I don't know what it was doing there.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: At the end of our Dead's Day intro there four
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: three four eight eight two four two one seven is
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: the news of the day unfolds you know, the trivialities
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: of it just make me laugh sometimes, and they claim
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: they don't have enough staff in the newsroom zone.
• 14:22
  Speaker 16: There was one particular Aucus predecessor, launched from a UK
• 14:26
  Speaker 16: shipyard in nineteen forty four that served for the majority
• 14:32
  Speaker 16: of her life attached to the fourth Submarine Squadron in Australia,
• 14:38
  Speaker 16: playing a critical role during the war in the Pacific.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Her name.
• 14:45
  Speaker 16: Hms Trump. So tonight, mister President, and delighted to present
• 14:51
  Speaker 16: to as a personal gift, the.
• 14:56
  Speaker 17: Original bell which hung on the cunning your valiant namesake
• 15:03
  Speaker 17: may may stand as a testimony to our nations shared
• 15:09
  Speaker 17: history and shining future.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: And should you ever need to get hold of us
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: or just give us a ring? So you know, sometimes,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: you know, green agenda leftist can have a sense of
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: humor too. Hey, you know what, maybe maybe King Charles
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: should have hosted the White House Correspondence dinner. What do
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: you what do you think? That's that's one more joke
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: than I heard Jimmy Kimmel deliver. But that's not without recompense.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Seventeen counted seventeen text messages after yesterday's program, as the
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Federal Communications Commission sent notice to all the ABC owned
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: and operated broadcast television stations, saying we need you to
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: update your FCC filing within the next thirty days. Really,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: because Jimmy Kimmel is somewhat dull shock jock with nothing
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: to be shocking about except for the fact that he
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: thinks Donald Trump is a reprobate, and he finds his
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: position as the hero of the alliance of nutclusters who
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: were ready to storm somebody at a dinner event with
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: a couple of guns in his hands. That's what we're
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: going to do. I mean, I'm fine with Jimmy Kimmel
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: fading into anonymity, which is the worst punishment you can
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: give somebody like Jimmy Kimmel, but we're going to martyr
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: him again. And I will remind you that my personal
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: view of the Federal Communications Commission in its onset was
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: to guarantee spectrum space. They were the the county courthouse,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: if you will, of broadcast business ownership. Their job was
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: to make sure that my deed for the radio stations
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: I own doesn't get violated. We don't get squatters showing
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: up on our acreage. It has grown just like the
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: story we were telling you yesterday where Public's grocery stores
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: in Jacksonville, Florida had to go and plead the aristocracy
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: for permission to renovate a store, not even build a
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: new one, to move the shelves around. You need permission
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: from Jacksonville, Florida. There's nothing else in Florida you gotta
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: worry about, especially in Jacksonville. Nothing at that university in
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: town that you need to watch out for. You need
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: to worry about Publics bringing some contractors into tear up
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: the floor. This is FCC is just another one of
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: these mission creeps lurking in a dark alley somewhere, ready
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: to jump you in take your wallet. Four three four
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: eight eight two four two one seven. I want to
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: get into President Trump's late night tweet about Iran collapsing,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: because there's more in it than just the headline that
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: you see. But we've got folks petitioning us already on
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: how the news of the day is impacting them. Good morning,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: You're on the air with Joe. First thing this morning.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Who's this? This is Matt? Good morning, Matt. How are you, sir?
• 18:38
  Speaker 18: I'm doing all right now. While I think that the
• 18:43
  Speaker 18: bell was a nice move on Charles the Third's part.
• 18:49
  Speaker 18: As far as Charles and Camilla's visit, that's just what
• 18:53
  Speaker 18: we need. Two more useless people in Washington.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Well, I will say this, they've gotten more media attention
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: than Harry and Meg.
• 19:04
  Speaker 18: Well, speaking of media attention, yes, I am so frustrated
• 19:10
  Speaker 18: with this Jimmy Kimmel business.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Yes, oh mind he did.
• 19:16
  Speaker 18: He did not have a career before this, and he
• 19:20
  Speaker 18: is struggling to get any bit of publicity that he can.
• 19:26
  Speaker 18: If everybody just stopped talking about him, that would be
• 19:30
  Speaker 18: his punishment.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: There's my bell from the cunning tower of the HMS. Joe.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: You know, but this is the this is the thing
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: that we do. I mean, okay, so we want we
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: want to punish somebody. You know what. The worst thing
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: you can do to a person in my position or
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel's position, ignore us its trust me on this.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: The worst thing that can happen is I go a
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: whole morning and nobody calls, nobody emails nobody. I start
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: to get itchy. I'm like, what have I done wrong?
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: What if I why? Why is nobody complaining about me,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: or or at least me saying you're you're you're missing
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: the point show.
• 20:13
  Speaker 18: I mean, Kimmel is saying these outrageous things because he
• 20:18
  Speaker 18: knows that he gets him clicks.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it get.
• 20:21
  Speaker 18: It gets him attention. And now I mean more people
• 20:26
  Speaker 18: are talking about him because of this, and have talked
• 20:30
  Speaker 18: about him for anything in the last five months.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Yep. And he was He was added to the ABC
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: lineup because ABC felt like they needed to have somebody
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: because you had The Carson Show hosted by whoever it
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: is these days and uh, and then you had The
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Letterman Show, which was being hosted by whoever it was
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: these days, and and then AB's like, maybe maybe we
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: should have something too. I mean, they they've tried everyone
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: on ABC. I mean, they tried Urcinio Hall. I think
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Larry King was there for a while, you know, and
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: so they're just like, you know, they're all talking, you know.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: And the thing about Kimmel was he was such a
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: hack for Disney. You know, for the longest time, the
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: knock on Jimmy Kimmel's show was it was just a
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: fluff job for any Disney movie that was coming out,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: or Hollywood record artist that was putting out some new
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: CD that with those were his guests. You could guarantee
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: you knew what new Disney movie was coming out because
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Dwayne Johnson was going to be on Jimmy Kimmel Live
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: from the super Bowl. Oh really is Moana two coming out? Wow?
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: That was a real shocker there. So let him just
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: be that ignominious tool of Disney. Why elevate him to
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: this level of some sort of rebel without a cause?
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?

  Speaker 5: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
• 22:12

  Speaker 1: The first Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Joe Thomas, the second most famous Thomas in Charlottesville.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: So put aside your coffee mug for a second, and
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: we're going to read some tea leaves here because the
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: President tweeted something late last night about Iran, and I
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: want to get into this because well, I mean, we're
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: shooting bombs at each other. So let's dig in. And
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: the tweet is about the state of collapse, and there
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: are a couple of things going on here that what
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: does doctor Clark call it? Pattern recognition? So let's do
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: some pattern recognition into the midnight tweet of Paul Revere
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: here Donald Trump social media post truth social Iran has
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: contacted the United States. And you know, there's a lot
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: of folks who make a lot of hay out of going, no,
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: you do clog in the when he's in a rage
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: and he's drunk, or there are people who talk about
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: him being drunk at two in the morning. Drunken tweets.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: Brother has never had a drink in his life. I mean,
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: my wife doesn't like the amount of diet coke that
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: he drinks. Neither does Robert F. Kennedy Junior. But that's
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: the worst thing he does. Iran has informed us that
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: they are in a state of collapse. The President's social
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: media post says they want us to open the horror
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: moves straight as soon as possible as they try to
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: figure out their leadership situation. See that's not just I
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: think we're going to win soon. There are specifics in here,
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: points of order that if there was a journalist around,
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: they could go and say to oh, I don't know
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Pete Hegsith or whatever. Hey, president said this, what do
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: you know? Pardon me, Secretary Rubio, what do you know?
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Because we've been doing this too long, It's been ten
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: years of Donald Trump. Donald Trump doesn't say stuff that
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: isn't going to either come through fruition soon or pushes
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: somebody to die. I divulge. What's really going on? They
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: want us to open the horror moved straight now? Much
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: is you know we've got statements from Iran saying that
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: that they'll do it now. Tie this to a boss's
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: visit to Saint Petersburg the other one. I have to
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: say that because we've got some great friends in Saint
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Petersburg listening to us in the United States. I know,
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: I know there's Bob as well. So we have audience
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: in Saint Petersburg and in Moscow the other one. But
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: so a boss goes to Saint Petersburg and vlad the
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Invader says what to him? Because a boss told Vlad
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: the Invader, it's the US's fault that you know, we've
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: fallen through the cracks here. We haven't got a deal,
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: we haven't got an end to hostilities. Why is he
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: telling Vlad the Invader this? We know that Russia is
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: the chief architect of Iran's position in the brick. That's
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: the faux banking system they were trying to run up
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: the flagpole during the Biden administration. So Russia tells a
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: boss what, sorry, don't have anything for you. Busy getting
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: our own oil refineries blown up by Ukraine, Busy trying
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: to figure out what's going to happen to our spring
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: break destination beach that happened to be right next to
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: an oil refinery. I guess they claimed it was Russia's
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: vacation hotspot. I'm like, it sounds more like the Jersey
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: short of me refinery right here, beach right over there.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know if Bruce Springsteen was Russian, he'd be
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: singing about this, this refinery fire that was struck by Ukraine.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: So a boss goes to Vlad the Invader, who, from
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: what I can see, pulled turned his pockets inside out
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: and said, yet, then the United Arab Emirates, by the way,
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: for those checking your map on the other side of
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: these strait of horm moones, after being gifted their own
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: version of the Iron Dome by Israel, and understand something
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: about Israel, and we reported to this to you yesterday.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: Israel give an Arab nation. The Iron Dome is enormous.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: This would be like the United States giving our salt
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: technology to Canada or well maybe Mexico be a better example.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: So the enormity of that cannot be lost. And now
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: President Trump says Iran has contacted us. That's a provable point.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Somebody can foya the State Department and find out did
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Iran contact us on April twenty eighth of twenty twenty six.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: They're not going to, but they could just saying I
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: know people who work in the world where their favorite
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: four letter F word is foya. So these things are
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: and so everyone's, oh, don it's another one of these
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Trump tweets. No, this isn't And I understand there are
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: some Trump Trump tweets where they're like, I just think
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel should be run out of town on a road. Okay,
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: I get it fine, but these have this late night
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: tweet had some specific stuff going on here. And I
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: say this because there's a lot of people who get
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: frustrated because President Trump is not somebody you can judge
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: in process. He say, oh my god, what's he doing
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: in Iran? You know what if on May twenty ninth
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: of twenty twenty six, as we you know, bask in
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: the afterglow of Memorial Day weekend after our trip to
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: the Jersey Shore to show solidarity with our friends in Russia.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Hey both look burning oil refineries and a beach right
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: next to it. This must just be like the Donbass
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: that in a month's time we could be sitting here saying, hey,
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: remember when we were battling with Iran and pelting them
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: with missiles and they were our worst enemy. And the
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: first shipment of oil from Iran came arriving at the
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: refinery up the road from that Jersey Shore beach, and
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: Snookie and company are like, hey, look that's an Iranian
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: flag on that oil tanker pulling in to Staten Island,
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: New York. These are moments in progress that you cannot
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: just say, oh, I don't think we should do this.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Remember what I said about Thomas Jefferson two hundred and
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: forty years ago. He wrote to President Washington that this,
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: this one, we might have to end with a war
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: quote after meeting with the Barbary pirates and their leadership,
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: after having read the Qur'an. So this one, this one,
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: we might have to end with a war. However, the
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: eighteenth century version of Barack Obama at the time Foreign
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Minister Adams, in what was going to be a series
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: of breaks from Thomas Jefferson, said how about we just
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: give them money instead, a policy that continued on and
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: off all the way through the intervening two hundred odd years,
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: all the way up through Barack Obama and Joe Biden saying, hey,
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: how about we give you back some of your money.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: We'll get to you at four three four eight eight
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: two four to two one seven as it unfolds this morning.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: But I just wanted to put kind of in that
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: context timeline.
• 38:01
  Speaker 22: At Hotshot Secret, we share the science behind common diesel
• 38:04
  Speaker 22: problems in their solutions.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: For example, diesel fuel setane levels.
• 38:08
  Speaker 22: In many states, the setane rating and diesel fuel is
• 38:11
  Speaker 22: forty two to forty five. Most diesel engines operate more
• 38:14
  Speaker 22: efficiently with the cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one.
• 38:17
  Speaker 22: Treatment of hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your
• 38:20
  Speaker 22: seatane seven points, increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts.
• 38:24
  Speaker 22: Due to a cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons in
• 38:27
  Speaker 22: particulate matter in your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of
• 38:30
  Speaker 22: your diesel particulate filter. Using Diesel Extreme generates eighty three
• 38:34
  Speaker 22: percent less DPF regenerations.
• 38:37

• 44:31
  Speaker 12: Time, look about.
• 44:37
  Speaker 22: Need to bring a tample, don't do do the.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: Bit I can do with the spear. That is the
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: way we roll here skyclad to the world. That's too
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: much information for you On this Ted Steve morning, we
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: tell you what went on last night and sometimes early
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: this morning. We'll give you our analysis of it, for sure,
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: but I want to know how it is impacting you
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: where you are. Kareem is on the line with us
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: at four three four eight eight two four to two
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: one seven. Morning, Kareem. How are you doing today?
• 45:19
  Speaker 23: Good morning, Joe. I am doing well. I am passing
• 45:21
  Speaker 23: through West Virginia just seeing the sights.
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: You know, it's got to be tough on a truck.
• 45:26
  Speaker 23: You know.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: West Virginia has got some of the most beautiful mountains
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: out there, and they are stunning and the valleys are
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: stark contrasts. But there's not a lot of ramp up room.
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, Virginia. Our mountains to the east are a
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: little bit more gradual when you need to climb them.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: It's got to be a rough spot to try to
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: get through some of those spots in West Virginia.
• 45:52
  Speaker 23: Oh, Joe, you are so right. I can't tell you
• 45:54
  Speaker 23: how many times I'm glad that nobody's listened to what
• 45:56
  Speaker 23: I was saying inside this cab.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: Are you so, what's on your mind? Is you trundle along?
• 46:04
  Speaker 23: Oh? So again, Joe's a fertile field that you plant,
• 46:08
  Speaker 23: and there's a lot to pick up.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: Going.
• 46:10
  Speaker 23: I sent you a I sent you a photo of
• 46:12
  Speaker 23: this morning I took filling up my forward. I think
• 46:16
  Speaker 23: I got let twenty gallons and it was about eighty dollars.
• 46:19
  Speaker 23: And I don't buy a high test obtained. I'll tell
• 46:22
  Speaker 23: you that right now. Sure, and I do expect prices
• 46:26
  Speaker 23: to do up. So now Trump troops happen typically, in
• 46:31
  Speaker 23: my understanding is it's he's the best marketing president we've
• 46:35
  Speaker 23: ever had. I'm just gonna say that right now. Feel
• 46:37
  Speaker 23: free to put out any information to this to UH
• 46:40
  Speaker 23: to debunk what I've said, but I'm gonna know, as
• 46:43
  Speaker 23: far as popularism goes, I think Trump is it. I
• 46:46
  Speaker 23: hear it, but I do expect prices to get worse.
• 46:50
  Speaker 23: But when I hear about Iran and I hear about
• 46:53
  Speaker 23: the Straight of Horror Moves, what I did not know
• 46:55
  Speaker 23: until recently is that the reason where it's called the
• 46:57
  Speaker 23: Straight of four Moves is because about two thousand years
• 47:00
  Speaker 23: ago the Persian guy Poor Moves blocked both shores and
• 47:06
  Speaker 23: charged a toll. Even the Romans paid for it. So
• 47:10
  Speaker 23: it's it's been his name ever since. But but that's
• 47:14
  Speaker 23: not the main reason I call it. Main reason I
• 47:15
  Speaker 23: called was essentially what we have UH locally, internationally and
• 47:23
  Speaker 23: all over are intricate and delicate work's going on. But
• 47:29
  Speaker 23: here we're looking at a one point five trillion dollar
• 47:33
  Speaker 23: just just military budget under the Bond administration. We were
• 47:38
  Speaker 23: getting one hundred no, no, one trillion inflation in one
• 47:41
  Speaker 23: hundred days. Every hundred days, our our inflation went up,
• 47:47
  Speaker 23: ann inflation. My apologies, death, our debt went up. Treatment
• 47:51
  Speaker 23: treated ours now. Your friend Bob from Farmville. He has
• 47:56
  Speaker 23: been outspoken and very particular about how his thoughts on
• 48:00
  Speaker 23: debt for the past well his entire career, and he
• 48:03
  Speaker 23: might have some more to say about this. But has
• 48:06
  Speaker 23: he addressed this at all in your recent conversations?
• 48:09
  Speaker 18: Oh?
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, I think we talk about it every time he's
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: one with us. He's talking about the host of the
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: Good for America podcasts these days, former Chair of the
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: House Freedom concus because it is what is the value
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: of your dollar? Each dollar that we go into debt
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: is more money out of your pocket. Each dollar you
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: have buys less and it causes us to look for
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: cheaper alternatives to American made products. It was something that
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: Ron Paul talked about until he was blue in the face,
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: especially in twenty twelve when he actually was in the
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: Republican field for president, was that you cannot look at
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: the economics of the United States one sidedly. You can't
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: just say spending that's what the progressives do is, well,
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: if we give you money, you'll spend it. And that's
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: good because that's what they read into Professor keynes analysis
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: of economics. There's another sign to it. So, yeah, it's
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: wonderful to say we're going to pay twenty dollars an
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: hour to our minimum wage earners, but that also cuts
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: out at least well, what did they do in California?
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: At least one third of all minimum wage jobs vanished
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: after they went past that rubicon of fifteen dollars an
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: hour and went up to twenty, and so you actually
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: created more unemployment. It is classic unionism. Oh yeah, we
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: got a contract from the UAW and Ford is going
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: to pay us forty five dollars an hour, but they're
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: going to lay off six hundred people and close this factory.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: Sorry you six hundred. When we get a new contract,
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: maybe you'll get some work. But so, yeah, oh, we're
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: making forty dollars an hour, except for all the people
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: who lost their jobs and aren't. And so you cannot
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: look at the economy of any country, not just the
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: United States, without looking at wages earned as a as
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: a factor in the equation. And so when we keep
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: we keep increasing the cost of making things in the
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: United States because we keep pandering and saying, sure, we'll
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: pay you more. Are you contributing more? And are you
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: driving more customers away from your company or the company
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: that you work for, so that you're actually winding up
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: shooting the goose that laid the golden egg. And that's
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: always been Ron Paul's point is part of the reason
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: why in twenty twelve I supported him for president because
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: I felt like brother got it. I figured he wasn't
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: going to win. But maybe you know, if Mitt Romney won,
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: he could make him Treasury secretary or chairman of the
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: FED or something like that. Wouldn't that have been a
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: kick in the.
• 50:57
  Speaker 23: Ass They want to walk in some people up, But
• 51:01
  Speaker 23: thankfully Paul did plan a lot of seeds. Joe, I'm
• 51:04
  Speaker 23: going to try to smize it quickly when I'm the
• 51:06
  Speaker 23: main poor and get off so I can actually hear
• 51:08
  Speaker 23: what you have to say before the news kicks on.
• 51:12
  Speaker 23: Essentially West Virginia, best example Senator Robert Byrd, who has
• 51:18
  Speaker 23: a dark past. If people who aren't aware, they should be.
• 51:22
  Speaker 23: But every time he wanted to pass legislation or inbody,
• 51:26
  Speaker 23: one pass legislation. He made sure to add a little dendum
• 51:29
  Speaker 23: that West Virginia got sighted down to it and as
• 51:31
  Speaker 23: healy and mountainous and as steep as it is. They
• 51:34
  Speaker 23: do have fantastic roads, especially the turnpikes. Of course they're
• 51:37
  Speaker 23: making money on that, but they did build up West Virginia.
• 51:41
  Speaker 23: That one point five tree in doesn't go to infrastructure,
• 51:45
  Speaker 23: and iron Dome gifted to UAE my Israel. Those missiles
• 51:50
  Speaker 23: were made in the US. Production is limited because of
• 51:53
  Speaker 23: our capabilities already now during this ceasefire that's tenuous at best.
• 52:01
  Speaker 23: Our production has not accelerated. Granted we've heard that, oh,
• 52:05
  Speaker 23: we've talked to GM or we talked to all these
• 52:07
  Speaker 23: companies about increased production from military v peoples or military products.
• 52:12
  Speaker 23: That's forty dollars an hour that's going to come out
• 52:14
  Speaker 23: of the taxpayers going to that. I'm seeing billboards in
• 52:16
  Speaker 23: Pennsylvania for seventy dollars an hour by the IBEW for
• 52:21
  Speaker 23: electrical workers. Now I'm promised all that you I'm going
• 52:24
  Speaker 23: to take off in a second. We should divert the
• 52:27
  Speaker 23: money to our infrastructure instead of bombing elsewhere. I'm just
• 52:30
  Speaker 23: saying that. Anyway, a great day and things.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: Well, thank you, Kareem. And that's that's a reasonable point.
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: I think you can walk into gum at the same time,
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: you know, politically, infrastructurally. And that's that's a bigger conversation.
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: We'll delve into it when we come back. He's right.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: The news is bearing down on us like a truck
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: coming down a hill in West Virginia.
• 52:51
  Speaker 11: Crime across the country is at an all time high.
• 52:54
  Speaker 11: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
• 52:56
  Speaker 11: a risk. We don't want the feeling of being unprotected andvulnerable.
