Transcript
- 0:12Speaker 1: Talk radio, just the way your mother used to make it.
- 0:14Speaker 1: The first thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media.
- 0:18Speaker 2: Edward Stewart said, steal me step.
- 0:21Speaker 3: You have a day at least for work.
- 0:24Speaker 1: When the sun comes up, drops a kid at the school.
- 0:27Speaker 4: The night.
- 0:29Speaker 2: Joe has a dream do all the jasure said.
- 0:32Speaker 5: And needs.
- 0:34Speaker 1: The one that Joe's all smiled.
- 0:36Speaker 6: He only as.
- 0:38Speaker 3: Paz, Joe, we must be near a black hole. I'm
- 0:48Speaker 3: telling you, I looked down. It was two minutes after six.
- 0:52Speaker 3: I looked up on the walk. What do you mean?
- 0:54Speaker 3: The red lights on? And then, like Ozzie the Great
- 0:57Speaker 3: radio Consultant, Ozzy Osbourne said, when the red light goes on,
- 1:00Speaker 3: it's time to begin on your behalf. As we gather
- 1:04Speaker 3: to tell you what went on last night, I'll give
- 1:07Speaker 3: you my analysis of it for sure. Ask anyone who's
- 1:11Speaker 3: ever invited me to a party, Joe. How about we
- 1:15Speaker 3: asked Joe about something other than you know, what's going
- 1:18Speaker 3: on in government. It's it's the best way to do it.
- 1:22Speaker 3: If if you've ever if you've ever been that guy,
- 1:25Speaker 3: you know your baker, you're a painter, you know, at
- 1:29Speaker 3: least painters aren't asked, Hey, why, you know, take a
- 1:32Speaker 3: look at that wall. Doctors, pharmacists, they all get asked
- 1:36Speaker 3: at the party, Hey, you know, my shoulder hurts. You
- 1:39Speaker 3: know what the I wonder if they do that to
- 1:41Speaker 3: our buddy Ceely out in the four corners. You know,
- 1:44Speaker 3: Ceely goes to a cocktail party or a chamber of commerce,
- 1:47Speaker 3: makes their say, oh my my next been stiff. Celia,
- 1:50Speaker 3: you got anything for that? But at four three four
- 1:54Speaker 3: eight eight two four two one seven, you're part of
- 1:57Speaker 3: the equation is to tell us how the new news
- 2:00Speaker 3: of the day is impacting you where you are a
- 2:03Speaker 3: couple of text messages on the stabbing in New York.
- 2:06Speaker 3: Of course, we need common sense gun common sense knife laws. Joe,
- 2:11Speaker 3: look at how well the common sense gun laws have
- 2:15Speaker 3: done at curbing gun violence. Parentheses, I kid, because I care. Come,
- 2:24Speaker 3: you are right, we need to deal with mental health,
- 2:28Speaker 3: Mark writes into four three four eight A two four
- 2:31Speaker 3: two one seven. Okay, so what is your answer for
- 2:34Speaker 3: better mental health care? If this guy had lost his
- 2:37Speaker 3: last good marvel before going on the stabbing spree in
- 2:40Speaker 3: New York. I like the fact that this compels you
- 2:44Speaker 3: more than the magical mystery ballots that showed up over
- 2:47Speaker 3: the last four days in Los Angeles, moving the Democratic
- 2:52Speaker 3: Socialist into a race where, albeit the unthinkable, Karen Bass
- 2:58Speaker 3: has become the common sense alter arnative for Los Angelinos.
- 3:02Speaker 3: But let's give you all of our first things here.
- 3:07Speaker 3: Trump administration is being asked by the America First Legal
- 3:11Speaker 3: Foundation to investigate school districts in California, four of them
- 3:16Speaker 3: Illinois and Louden County, Virginia. Yes, the same Louden County, Virginia.
- 3:21Speaker 3: They haven't gotten any better, driving parents to try to
- 3:25Speaker 3: assault school board members over the transgender kids in the bathroom,
- 3:30Speaker 3: but they still apparently are keeping this stuff secret from parents.
- 3:35Speaker 3: New survey from the Associated Press NORK Center for Public
- 3:38Speaker 3: Affairs says only one quarter of Americans say the US
- 3:43Speaker 3: is the best country in the world. Forty four percent
- 3:46Speaker 3: says it's one of the greatest countries in the world,
- 3:50Speaker 3: with some others three and ten say there are better
- 3:53Speaker 3: countries than the United States. Republican Steve Hilton managed to
- 3:59Speaker 3: stay on off the magical mystery votes in California, staying
- 4:03Speaker 3: in the second spot as both the LA Mayor's race,
- 4:08Speaker 3: Nathia Raman and Tom Steyer all mysteriously got all of
- 4:12Speaker 3: the magical late votes that were coming in and being
- 4:15Speaker 3: cured and counted. Eighty four percent of the votes have
- 4:19Speaker 3: been counted now in the week since the voting ended,
- 4:22Speaker 3: and Hilton has twenty five percent of the ballots to
- 4:25Speaker 3: Xavier Visa's twenty seven point seven. They will face each
- 4:29Speaker 3: other in November. Three more cases of the New World
- 4:35Speaker 3: screw worm have been confirmed. This includes one outside of
- 4:40Speaker 3: the cluster in Texas that first saw it a few
- 4:43Speaker 3: weeks ago. Screwworm is a fly larva that eats living
- 4:47Speaker 3: flesh instead of dead material, three calves and a goat
- 4:51Speaker 3: in Texas and a dog now from neighboring Lee County,
- 4:55Speaker 3: New Mexico. The fly has been kept through management tactics
- 5:03Speaker 3: into southern Panama for decades now. Israel has halted strikes
- 5:08Speaker 3: on Iran at the request of President Trump, according to
- 5:12Speaker 3: Channel twelve in Israel. Trump made his request during a
- 5:16Speaker 3: phone call yesterday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin net Yahoo.
- 5:21Speaker 3: They said the conversation was described as polite, and he
- 5:26Speaker 3: asked the Israeli Prime minister to immediately stop shooting. House
- 5:31Speaker 3: Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries said he will not support renewing
- 5:34Speaker 3: Section seven oh two of the Paiza Act as long
- 5:38Speaker 3: as Bill Poulti remains the Director of National Intelligence, and
- 5:42Speaker 3: a judge over the weekend ruled the administration cannot restrict
- 5:46Speaker 3: tax credits for wind in solar energy. And those are
- 5:51Speaker 3: some of our first things. On this Monday morning, the
- 5:57Speaker 3: confetti will have barely settled and the smell of expended
- 6:01Speaker 3: fireworks will still be wafting through the air, as we
- 6:04Speaker 3: had to Las Vegas to kick off the next two
- 6:08Speaker 3: hundred and fifty years of life, liberty, and the pursuit

- 8:08Speaker 12: actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
- 8:13Speaker 12: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
- 8:18Speaker 12: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
- 8:23Speaker 12: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
- 8:28Speaker 12: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 8:32Speaker 12: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
- 8:36Speaker 12: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,

- 9:37Speaker 14: than from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like
- 9:41Speaker 14: the one for newmic coccle disease can protect adults from
- 9:44Speaker 14: illnesses that can cause misdays of work, hospitalization, and even death.

- 11:13Speaker 16: you've got his first job for extra spending money about

- 12:06Speaker 18: of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom
- 12:11Speaker 18: to peaceably assemble, freedom to petition the government. Which freedom

- 12:56Speaker 16: It's on.
- 13:09Speaker 1: The question for you from Joe Thomas. It's first thing today.
- 13:20Speaker 3: Five five percent man good bad man still is.
- 13:30Speaker 10: Thinking that.
- 13:32Speaker 3: I mean, you've got to read the ingredients better now
- 13:35Speaker 3: as we celebrate Pride Month this morning. Four three four
- 13:38Speaker 3: eight a two four to two. What exactly is xanthem gum?
- 13:42Speaker 16: You know?
- 13:43Speaker 3: Then you get into you know, chloral hydrates and all
- 13:47Speaker 3: the other Oh, I know, they're preservatives. How come how
- 13:51Speaker 3: come they preserve everything except the people who eat them?
- 13:54Speaker 3: That's a question for you at four three four eight
- 13:56Speaker 3: a two four two one seven. But first I want
- 13:59Speaker 3: to see how gold and silver are doing this morning,
- 14:02Speaker 3: and then we'll get into the questions you guys threw
- 14:05Speaker 3: at me after this stabbing, this mass stabbing instant in
- 14:09Speaker 3: New York City. But with that, James Locke is on
- 14:12Speaker 3: the phone with us at four three four eight eight
- 14:14Speaker 3: two four two one seven and at the jcsgold dot
- 14:20Speaker 3: com site where you find them each morning. I know
- 14:23Speaker 3: it would be easy for me just to go on
- 14:26Speaker 3: to jcsgold dot com and look up the price of
- 14:29Speaker 3: gold and silver, But believe it or not, that's more
- 14:32Speaker 3: steps than calling you on the phone, James. So yeah,
- 14:36Speaker 3: thank goodness for speed dial. What's going on this morning?
- 14:41Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 14:41Speaker 21: And you know the good thing too, is jcschool dot
- 14:44Speaker 21: com and our live price board is optimized for your smartphone,
- 14:48Speaker 21: so it does look like a readable website there right
- 14:53Speaker 21: on your phone, which makes it easy as well.
- 14:55Speaker 3: So how are we doing this morning? Still? I know
- 14:58Speaker 3: we had discounts over the weekend, bounce back on Monday. Yeah,
- 15:02Speaker 3: we're Gold and.
- 15:03Speaker 21: Silver are both working on a bounce back which started yesterday.
- 15:07Speaker 21: Gold is currently slightly positive today, up about five dollars,
- 15:11Speaker 21: just a tenth of a percent to four thy three
- 15:14Speaker 21: hundred and thirty four dollars. Silver is up about half
- 15:17Speaker 21: of a percent to sixty eight dollars and forty nine cents.
- 15:21Speaker 21: So both metals still in a little bit of a
- 15:23Speaker 21: low area, but bouncing back from the lows over the weekend.
- 15:27Speaker 3: That's good news for folks who need it right now.
- 15:31Speaker 3: And I guess that's the difference in the client tell
- 15:34Speaker 3: some folks are needing the gold and silver and that
- 15:38Speaker 3: stability once they're into retirement. And who knows. We had
- 15:42Speaker 3: a scary story just Saturday morning came across the wire,
- 15:46Speaker 3: and we really should spend some more time on this.
- 15:50Speaker 3: But according to a report that came out on Saturday,
- 15:55Speaker 3: that the Social Security Fund account will be insolvent by
- 16:03Speaker 3: twenty thirty two six years from now. So if that's
- 16:08Speaker 3: not a reason to go to jcsgold dot com right now,
- 16:10Speaker 3: I don't know what it is, you know, because that's
- 16:14Speaker 3: not going to be insolvent anytime soon. No, absolutely not.
- 16:18Speaker 21: And gold and silver are just a piece of the puzzle.
- 16:22Speaker 21: They're a part of your portfolio. We always say, you know,
- 16:26Speaker 21: to have a variety of things that have gold and
- 16:28Speaker 21: silver as one of those investments that you build over time.
- 16:33Speaker 21: You stack gold and stacksilver as an investment that you
- 16:36Speaker 21: are in control of, that you hang on to and
- 16:40Speaker 21: you can transfer it all on your own. And if
- 16:43Speaker 21: you zoom out there at jcsgold dot com look at
- 16:46Speaker 21: our charts, and you zoom out and you see the
- 16:48Speaker 21: long term graph, you can see just exactly the performance
- 16:51Speaker 21: of gold and silver over the past twenty years, ten years,
- 16:55Speaker 21: and how it compares to the S and p.
- 16:57Speaker 3: Yeah, nobody trying to close a gold show loophole or
- 17:01Speaker 3: anything like that, or trying to get a capacity limit
- 17:05Speaker 3: on how much gold and silver you can have. I'm
- 17:06Speaker 3: not trying. I'm not saying they won't try at some point,
- 17:09Speaker 3: but for now, they haven't done that. Yet, James, you
- 17:11Speaker 3: have a great morning, sir. Thanks for checking in you too, Ja.
- 17:15Speaker 22: Thanks.
- 17:16Speaker 3: You can get with them at four three four nine
- 17:19Speaker 3: seven nine two six four six. That translates for those
- 17:23Speaker 3: who try to do this stuff four three four nine
- 17:26Speaker 3: seven nine coin. So mental health, you have to figure
- 17:42Speaker 3: this guy on a stabbing spree in New York if
- 17:46Speaker 3: if he still had all of his more, any of
- 17:49Speaker 3: his marbles, he was only holding on to them with
- 17:52Speaker 3: the most tenuous of grips. But what is the responsibility
- 18:02Speaker 3: of the community about mental health? And I know it's
- 18:12Speaker 3: with the stabbing like this, You're like, oh, well, where's
- 18:15Speaker 3: the mayor mom, Donnie's call for common sense knife control?
- 18:19Speaker 3: Don't push that agenda because in the United Kingdom they
- 18:24Speaker 3: actually do have knife control, that there are certain knives
- 18:33Speaker 3: that you have to show that you're a licensed chef
- 18:35Speaker 3: to be able to own. I mean, no, it don't.
- 18:39Speaker 3: It sounds like fun and frolic. It sounds like you're
- 18:42Speaker 3: goofing around when you say, oh, wow, where's your common
- 18:44Speaker 3: sense knife control? It's out there, it's out there.
- 18:49Speaker 23: They have it.
- 18:52Speaker 3: But our problem is our self control. It's not our
- 18:55Speaker 3: gun control, it's our self control. They say, well, Joe,
- 18:58Speaker 3: if somebody's got a mental health disorder, what do you do?
- 19:03Speaker 3: How do you deal with that? Like COVID nineteen, I
- 19:10Speaker 3: feel like we sit here in navel gaze while we're
- 19:13Speaker 3: wasting time. We're wasting time when we should be digging
- 19:19Speaker 3: in with the smartest people in the world to come
- 19:21Speaker 3: up with a way that somebody just doesn't decide just
- 19:25Speaker 3: on a whim to go off their meds, which is
- 19:30Speaker 3: nine times out of ten. What happens in these cases
- 19:33Speaker 3: is somebody has gone off their medication that's kept them
- 19:36Speaker 3: on an even keel, or perhaps was it, you know,
- 19:40Speaker 3: while keeping them from having murderous thoughts, was making them
- 19:44Speaker 3: feel horrible in other ways. So at some point they decide, well,
- 19:48Speaker 3: you know what, I'm tired of feeling horrible. And believe me,
- 19:58Speaker 3: I grew up in the world of willow Brook Sanitarium
- 20:01Speaker 3: and Geraldo Rivera's expose into it. That's a government mental
- 20:07Speaker 3: health facility. And for everyone who wants the government to
- 20:14Speaker 3: take over medical care, take a look at how well
- 20:18Speaker 3: government did when it was left to handle mental health care.
- 20:25Speaker 3: You know, ironically, go if you drive past where Willowbrook
- 20:29Speaker 3: Sanitarium was, there's still a New York State Department of
- 20:33Speaker 3: Mental Health Care facility there. Nobody thought that probably is
- 20:38Speaker 3: a facility we should repurpose for something else. I guess
- 20:42Speaker 3: they figure histories, mysteries, and you'll forget. It's in Staten Island.
- 20:49Speaker 3: It's not far as a matter of fact, except for
- 20:51Speaker 3: the fact that you know, as the crow flies, Staten
- 20:54Speaker 3: Island not far from Penn Station. But given the fact
- 20:57Speaker 3: that nobody wanted to create and he transit in between

- 28:53Speaker 18: he stick charged, ignoring the snow and the cold in
- 28:58Speaker 18: a downward.
- 29:06Speaker 3: Bring this up because our dear friend, best selling author
- 29:09Speaker 3: and climate realist Chris Horner, who whose story arc begins
- 29:14Speaker 3: in the offices of this little art house, startup coffee shop,
- 29:19Speaker 3: back of the napkin little oil and energy company named Enron,
- 29:25Speaker 3: and went on to write books such as Red Hot Lies,
- 29:30Speaker 3: The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming, and Power Grab
- 29:35Speaker 3: along with what he learned in that pursuit, which is
- 29:40Speaker 3: his final book was The Liberal War on Transparency, which
- 29:45Speaker 3: is a must read as well. But he posted this
- 29:48Speaker 3: just this morning, moments ago do do, and I think
- 29:54Speaker 3: this is notable against journalism, truth and freedom. Mister Pelly
- 29:59Speaker 3: was shown the door after thirty seven years at the
- 30:02Speaker 3: Tiffany Network. These are dark days if they can eliminate
- 30:06Speaker 3: in plain sight, an institution is central to the survival
- 30:10Speaker 3: of the republic, as mister Pelly and his carefully chewed spectacles,
- 30:15Speaker 3: surely no one is safe. First they came for the preening,
- 30:19Speaker 3: powdered popinjays of television news, but it did not speak
- 30:23Speaker 3: because I am not a preening powdered popinjay. You know,
- 30:27Speaker 3: invoking a retelling of the Great Martin emol Or poem.
- 30:33Speaker 3: And as with this kind of sarcasm that only Chris
- 30:36Speaker 3: Horner can wield if you've never read any of his books,
- 30:39Speaker 3: this isn't dry, you know, dust on the Armois kind
- 30:45Speaker 3: of climate debunking. This is fun.
- 30:48Speaker 8: This is.
- 30:51Speaker 3: Not just saying the emperor has no clothes, but making
- 30:55Speaker 3: fun of what you see when the emperor doesn't have
- 30:58Speaker 3: any clothes. He and of all the successful people at
- 31:04Speaker 3: this narrative, and I'm going to get to why people
- 31:08Speaker 3: like he and Mark Morano have been successful is because
- 31:11Speaker 3: they've made it fun to not be part of the
- 31:16Speaker 3: climate cult of Beijing Bernie. And if Beijing Bernie is
- 31:22Speaker 3: being paid for by the chycoms to push the anti
- 31:26Speaker 3: data center narrative, what else has Beijing Bernie been paid
- 31:30Speaker 3: to do? I'm just asking. I mean, any of Bernie
- 31:34Speaker 3: Sanders others stands up for sale highest bidder? Hey, Bernie,
- 31:40Speaker 3: I'd like you to promote GLP one all right, though,
- 31:47Speaker 3: what's it worth to you? But here's why I think
- 31:52Speaker 3: Chris Horner's post on this is so important. Well, Number one,
- 31:55Speaker 3: I appreciate any post that uses phrases like preening powdered popinjay.
- 32:04Speaker 3: I mean, the alliteration is just wonderful alone. But that's
- 32:08Speaker 3: who these people are. I mean, these these CBS and
- 32:12Speaker 3: ABC and NBC, these anchors. Who I am?
- 32:15Speaker 6: Who I am?
- 32:16Speaker 3: I am Anchorman? This, this short little bit has done
- 32:22Speaker 3: more to satirize the popinjays of network news anchors, even
- 32:27Speaker 3: more than Will Ferrell's first, not second, but first Anchorman
- 32:31Speaker 3: movie did. But and if you have you want to
- 32:37Speaker 3: have some fun in any of you who have traveled overseas.
- 32:40Speaker 3: You know, in England, they don't refer to them as anchors.
- 32:44Speaker 3: They are newsreaders. And I think there's a much more
- 32:49Speaker 3: holistic place in society. What do you what do you
- 32:52Speaker 3: do there, Scott? I am a newsreader. Oh okay, so
- 32:58Speaker 3: so you can read? Well, yes, all right, good luck
- 33:04Speaker 3: with that. But Chris's point about the preening popinjays and
- 33:10Speaker 3: using Martin Eimoller's poem as a junction point for it
- 33:15Speaker 3: is important because the climate movement has been the anti
- 33:20Speaker 3: climate movement. The debunkers, if you will, have been even
- 33:23Speaker 3: as moderately successful as we are because of independence in
- 33:28Speaker 3: the media. Radio show hosts who could go on the
- 33:31Speaker 3: air with Chris Horner and interview him at length at
- 33:34Speaker 3: the realities of the things that he caught, not you
- 33:38Speaker 3: know Ge and all the other people whose hands are
- 33:40Speaker 3: in the taxpayer cookie jar. So you have to take
- 33:49Speaker 3: the good with the bad. You have to have a
- 33:52Speaker 3: Scott Pelley in order to have a Joe Thomas. No
- 33:57Speaker 3: doubt the humble host has inserted himself at some esteem.
- 34:02Speaker 3: I know you were you chose to listen to the program.
- 34:04Speaker 3: I know you hold me a steam and juxtaposed. I
- 34:13Speaker 3: asked the folks at Conkers Magazine Friday. I was at
- 34:16Speaker 3: their conference and I laid the wood to FCC commissioners.
- 34:24Speaker 3: The question was, if you had a chance to sit
- 34:28Speaker 3: down with the FCC commissioner for five minutes, what's the
- 34:31Speaker 3: one question you would ask them, or the one thing
- 34:34Speaker 3: you would tell them. And I've reiterated for the gathering
- 34:40Speaker 3: too much surprise and applause at the end what I've
- 34:44Speaker 3: told you in the past. Don't don't muck around with
- 34:47Speaker 3: my programming. Don't tell me the government is going to
- 34:51Speaker 3: come after me because of my programming. And I had
- 34:54Speaker 3: a guy come up to me after the fact that saying, well,
- 34:56Speaker 3: you know you know, Kimmel is just you know, he's
- 34:59Speaker 3: trying to destroy all right Trump, I said, And Trump's
- 35:02Speaker 3: a big guy, he can handle it. I said, guess what.
- 35:07Speaker 3: Three quarters of America have something better to do than
- 35:10Speaker 3: even stop in to see what Jimmy Kimmel is doing
- 35:13Speaker 3: until Brendan Carr gives him some free publicity and then
- 35:16Speaker 3: they're like, oh, well, a government's going after Kimmel. I mean,
- 35:20Speaker 3: don't make this guy out, this hack out to be
- 35:25Speaker 3: George Carlin or Lenny Bruce. That's a defilement of comics
- 35:34Speaker 3: in their role in the world. Let the world ignore them,
- 35:41Speaker 3: because eventually guys like Jimmy Kimmel will make fun of
- 35:44Speaker 3: anyone who isn't them, and they will stop watching. But
- 35:51Speaker 3: I said to the fellow, I said, yeah, and what
- 35:53Speaker 3: happens when the next guy is president? What happens when
- 35:58Speaker 3: Abigail Spanberger, who has had four years of listening to
- 36:01Speaker 3: Mike A. Coole go on and on about you know,
- 36:05Speaker 3: what's the new nickname? The Senate leader gave her a
- 36:08Speaker 3: new nickname, c i Abigail. And I'm jealous because I
- 36:12Speaker 3: like it. I think it's fun. It's ci Abigail. What
- 36:19Speaker 3: happens when she has control of the Federal Communications Commission.
- 36:23Speaker 3: If you give them the authority to act like they
- 36:25Speaker 3: grant you permission to cover the news, then only the
- 36:30Speaker 3: people who agree with the administration are going to cover
- 36:33Speaker 3: the news or be allowed to. We saw a vestige
- 36:37Speaker 3: of this during COVID nineteen. You wanted to get deplatformed
- 36:41Speaker 3: by any social media distribution network say the word ivermectin
- 36:47Speaker 3: out loud. So why if you listen to a lot
- 36:50Speaker 3: of the conservative talk show hosts, they were just flogging
- 36:53Speaker 3: away at Remdesevir, which had his own problems, and hydroxic chloroquine,
- 36:59Speaker 3: but they never talked about ivermectin, which, actually, you know what,
- 37:03Speaker 3: faster than the LA elections officials can cure a ballot
- 37:08Speaker 3: could cure COVID nineteen, But we weren't in the business
- 37:11Speaker 3: of curing COVID nineteen. And I can say that because
- 37:14Speaker 3: Brendan Carr doesn't have the authority to take me off
- 37:17Speaker 3: the air. Just like Scott Pelley can lose his job,
- 37:24Speaker 3: he shouldn't lose his job because the government says he
- 37:27Speaker 3: needs to lose his job any more than Jimmy Kimmelton
- 37:30Speaker 3: should lose his job because the government targeted all the
- 37:34Speaker 3: stations that carry his show because somebody could target WCGO
- 37:41Speaker 3: in Evanston, Illinois saying yeah, I understand you carry Joe Thomas.
- 37:45Speaker 3: You know me say, we're going to go through your
- 37:47Speaker 3: public file where a fine tooth come and make sure
- 37:49Speaker 3: everything matches, and they're going to come down, rain down,
- 37:52Speaker 3: three felonies a day, as Harvey Silverglate wrote the book
- 37:58Speaker 3: and go after the station of the.

- 39:08Speaker 12: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 39:13Speaker 12: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 39:19Speaker 12: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 39:23Speaker 12: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 39:27Speaker 12: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 39:32Speaker 12: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 39:37Speaker 12: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 39:42Speaker 12: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 39:46Speaker 12: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

- 40:59Speaker 25: Hi, everybody, Jack Hannah and It's always a boy. Growing
- 41:01Speaker 25: up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 41:05Speaker 25: I'm not only in all of their beauty and kindness,
- 41:07Speaker 25: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 41:09Speaker 25: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 41:13Speaker 25: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 41:15Speaker 25: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 41:18Speaker 25: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 41:21Speaker 25: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 41:23Speaker 25: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 41:26Speaker 25: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 41:30Speaker 25: at home, but because of their acute senses. They also
- 41:33Speaker 25: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
- 41:36Speaker 25: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
- 41:38Speaker 25: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
- 41:42Speaker 25: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
- 41:44Speaker 25: variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
- 41:47Speaker 25: help those in need. So please join me an American
- 41:50Speaker 25: Humane and supporting our heroic working dogs and all the

- 44:16Speaker 1: Qui first thing today on the Talk Media Network by
- 44:20Speaker 1: Joe Thomas.
- 44:36Speaker 3: So we had a conversation last week that actually drove
- 44:41Speaker 3: somebody to send an email. I know, shock you are.
- 44:45Speaker 3: Did they pay taxes on that? What's the postage on
- 44:48Speaker 3: that email? There's still members of the House, aren't we
- 44:50Speaker 3: should tax and they're still trying to find a way
- 44:53Speaker 3: to deal with taxing and restricting communications of the digital
- 44:59Speaker 3: nat But be that as it may. It brought back
- 45:04Speaker 3: to me the old days of the tea party. You say, oh,
- 45:09Speaker 3: you mean the guys who are running around with tea
- 45:11Speaker 3: bags hanging off their hat and Anderson Cooper was grossing
- 45:14Speaker 3: me out on TV. Yeah, to a degree, sure, But
- 45:22Speaker 3: moreover they were the folks who were saying text enough already.
- 45:29Speaker 3: Leon writes into JT in the Morning Radio at gmail
- 45:33Speaker 3: dot com. I was listening to your podcasts over the
- 45:36Speaker 3: weekend parentheses. You should do a bigger job of promoting them, Joe.
- 45:41Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I mean, I really am. You know, Leon,
- 45:46Speaker 3: you you expose one of my weaknesses. I do not
- 45:52Speaker 3: blow my own horn. Nearly enough, after spending a friday
- 45:57Speaker 3: full of bombastics, we are the bombastic fantastics without question.
- 46:03Speaker 3: If you get a room full of talk radio show hosts,
- 46:06Speaker 3: a quiet conversation is I don't know something wishful thinking,
- 46:14Speaker 3: but I don't. So if you go to Joe Thomas
- 46:17Speaker 3: in the Morning dot com, you will find a menu
- 46:19Speaker 3: you can play them at the players. A little clunky
- 46:22Speaker 3: to work with there, but there's a menu of links.
- 46:25Speaker 3: Handy links takes you right to the distribution next eye
- 46:30Speaker 3: of iHeart Apple Podcasts, whatever you choose Spotify, and then
- 46:37Speaker 3: just subscribe and they'll get sent right to you when
- 46:40Speaker 3: they go up there later in the afternoon. I'm told
- 46:42Speaker 3: I need to start posting them earlier in the day.
- 46:46Speaker 3: There's all these people with algorithms. I have no rhythm
- 46:49Speaker 3: at all, especially algorithm. So but he goes on to say,
- 46:55Speaker 3: I heard your interview with the podcaster named Good and
- 46:59Speaker 3: he made a point that we spend seven trillion dollars
- 47:03Speaker 3: and take in five. I had no idea that was
- 47:06Speaker 3: the case. We take in five trillion dollars. And you
- 47:14Speaker 3: know that's it's a studying revelation.
- 47:16Speaker 21: When you.
- 47:20Speaker 3: Think about you know the idea that we have a
- 47:24Speaker 3: taxing problem. You listen to these dumbasses who will go
- 47:29Speaker 3: out there and say, oh yeah, we're gonna go get
- 47:32Speaker 3: It's just like this Raman woman who looks like the
- 47:36Speaker 3: female version of Zorhan Mamdani and sure as hell sounds
- 47:39Speaker 3: like him, whose role in the LA Mayors races to
- 47:43Speaker 3: make Karen Bass look like the common sense alternative. But
- 47:54Speaker 3: the idea that even even in bad times, we're generating
- 48:01Speaker 3: trillions of dollars annually in tax collections. This is fiscal
- 48:07Speaker 3: year twenty twenty four. We generated five point one trillion
- 48:12Speaker 3: dollars in tax collections from all the different sources, and
- 48:17Speaker 3: we spend seven And folks like Nithya Rahman and Zorhan
- 48:27Speaker 3: Mamdani and Hakeem Jeffries and Abigail Spanberger will tell you, well,
- 48:31Speaker 3: we just need to find a way to get that
- 48:33Speaker 3: other two trillion dollars out of the damn taxpayers. Guess
- 48:39Speaker 3: what do the math if you took every uber wealthy
- 48:42Speaker 3: person by their own and we did this during the
- 48:45Speaker 3: Biden administration too, It was some fun because it's always
- 48:48Speaker 3: exciting when Joe does math on the radio. Let's Joel
- 48:53Speaker 3: put the public school education down before you hurt someone.
- 49:01Speaker 3: But you don't have enough rich people to make up
- 49:05Speaker 3: that two trillion dollars just to get to even regardless
- 49:10Speaker 3: of the fact that you by the time you figured
- 49:12Speaker 3: out how to find that extra two trillion dollars in
- 49:16Speaker 3: tax collections, you're now spending nine trillion dollars because the
- 49:21Speaker 3: shade is just in that portion of the sunlight. And
- 49:30Speaker 3: with expenditures like this, when you see the fraud, whether
- 49:34Speaker 3: it's Congressoman McCormick or Virginia Senator Louise Lucas with their
- 49:40Speaker 3: hands deeply into the federal cookie jar, you say, well, gosh,
- 49:48Speaker 3: oh man, do we have the clip of Bob good
- 49:50Speaker 3: talking about this, because we brought up the Social Security insolvency.
- 49:57Speaker 4: With him, But it seems that the latest charges are
- 50:01Speaker 4: that some of these women who he's.
- 50:02Speaker 3: Oh, this was the grand Platner conversation there, but we're moreover,
- 50:10Speaker 3: we wanted to ask He's a financial guy, worked on
- 50:12Speaker 3: Wall Street for many years, and so when I saw
- 50:16Speaker 3: this story that Social Security would be insolvent by the
- 50:22Speaker 3: year twenty thirty two, I wanted to bring it to
- 50:25Speaker 3: his attention to see if he had thoughts about it,
- 50:28Speaker 3: inspired up about Susan Collins. Last question, financial guy, you
- 50:34Speaker 3: know this stuff inside and out, the value of the dollar.
- 50:36Speaker 3: Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget Issue or report yesterday
- 50:40Speaker 3: saying that Social Security Retirement Fund is going to become
- 50:45Speaker 3: insolvent in six years and you know, triggering an automatic
- 50:52Speaker 3: almost twenty five percent cut to benefits. You've warned about
- 50:57Speaker 3: the value of the dollar, You've warned about a lot
- 50:59Speaker 3: of the stuff. Is there anything that can be done
- 51:03Speaker 3: to forestall this in solveigncy for Social Security?
- 51:08Speaker 1: Yes, but there's not hope on the rise.
- 51:10Speaker 4: And this should be the issue that we're driving and
- 51:12Speaker 4: talking about every day as media personalities, as politically oriented folks,
- 51:16Speaker 4: and certain our elected officials and Republicans are fumbling, betraying us,
- 51:21Speaker 4: failing us on the only issue, the issue that matters
- 51:23Speaker 4: most of all. We're spending forty percent more than we
- 51:26Speaker 4: take in. We're taking in five trillion, we're spending seven trillion,
- 51:29Speaker 4: and the snowball effect, the impact, the reason why the
- 51:32Speaker 4: affordability crisis is lingering and persistent, Why inflation is an issue,
- 51:35Speaker 4: interest rates are an issue and is not getting better
- 51:37Speaker 4: than Trump Economic policies aren't having the effect that did
- 51:40Speaker 4: in his first term is because of that failure. So
- 51:42Speaker 4: the next president on his or her term, during his
- 51:45Speaker 4: or her term, this crisis will hit.
- 51:48Speaker 3: And one of the things he brings up there is
- 51:50Speaker 3: the affordability crisis because all of that money is been
- 51:54Speaker 3: printed and is out in circulation, devaluing. I was looking
- 51:59Speaker 3: at a chart that said since nineteen sixty I think
- 52:04Speaker 3: they try to avoid nineteen sixty four as the day
- 52:07Speaker 3: the Great Society begin. But for the sake of our conversation,
- 52:11Speaker 3: ever since the establishment of the Great Society, the value
- 52:18Speaker 3: of the US dollar has diminished to where a dollar
- 52:22Speaker 3: in nineteen sixty four only buys ten cents worth of
- 52:26Speaker 3: the same stuff in twenty twenty six. Think about that.
- 52:32Speaker 3: What you could buy for ten cents in nineteen sixty
- 52:35Speaker 3: four now takes a dollar to buy. And that's not
- 52:40Speaker 3: a lot of things. So you just extrapolate the math out.
- 52:44Speaker 3: It's the fun with math is you just keep adding
- 52:46Speaker 3: things and dividing, and then the coefficient of the co sign.
- 52:50Speaker 16: And the Hi.
