0:04
Speaker 2: I hate the first thing today by Joe Thomas on
0:09
Speaker 2: the Chunk Media Network, All natural and free you of
0:12
Speaker 2: artificial intelligence.
0:14
Speaker 3: Jewart said to steal me step a day at least
0:19
Speaker 3: for work. When the sun comes up, drops a bit
0:22
Speaker 3: of the scoop the way Joe has everything a.
0:25
Speaker 4: Dream, do all the Joses and needs no one that
0:30
Speaker 4: Joe's as smiled he only eggs be.
0:37
Speaker 5: Joe, thank you for letting us be of service to you.
0:43
Speaker 5: You know this, this Spirit Airlines thing has legs, and
0:47
Speaker 5: I want to get into it in greater detail. We've
0:51
Speaker 5: got folks all over the phone lines as well, so uh,
0:54
Speaker 5: I'm gonna switch up here, and rather than go to
0:57
Speaker 5: our first things in a little bit, let's start the
1:00
Speaker 5: first thing so we know what we're talking about, and
1:02
Speaker 5: then we'll get to you on the phones in a
1:05
Speaker 5: moment because we have folks all over the place. Microsoft,
1:09
Speaker 5: never mind Spirit Airlines. Microsoft trying to get rid of employees.
1:13
Speaker 5: First employee buy out in fifty one year history of
1:16
Speaker 5: the company. The one time retirement program will be open
1:20
Speaker 5: to US workers at the senior director level and below
1:24
Speaker 5: whose years of employment or age add up to seventy
1:28
Speaker 5: or more add up to CNBC is reporting, citing and
1:32
Speaker 5: internal memo leaked to the network. President Trump ruled out
1:36
Speaker 5: striking Iran with a nuclear weapon after being queried about
1:40
Speaker 5: it by a press agent in an Oval Office meeting. No,
1:44
Speaker 5: I wouldn't use it, he said to reporters. He then
1:47
Speaker 5: also when asked about timeline and if he wants the
1:51
Speaker 5: war to end soon, he said he is in no rush,
1:54
Speaker 5: but the quote clock is ticking on the Islamic Republic
1:59
Speaker 5: reports from Axios that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Navy has
2:04
Speaker 5: been laying more minds in the Strait of Hormuz. The
2:10
Speaker 5: developments was confirmed by a US official with a source
2:15
Speaker 5: with the knowledge of the activity, and they say the
2:18
Speaker 5: Americans are closely tracking it. President Trump, he's said he's
2:23
Speaker 5: weighing buying Spirit Airlines with taxpayer money and then would
2:27
Speaker 5: resell the carrier when oil prices go down. President can
2:33
Speaker 5: confirm this by saying they have good aircraft and good assets,
2:37
Speaker 5: and then they wouldn't be in bankruptcy, would they. United
2:40
Speaker 5: States will invite Russian President Vladimir Putin to the G
2:43
Speaker 5: twenty summit, though he doesn't expect him to come. The
2:46
Speaker 5: whole being called a war criminal, and being up on
2:50
Speaker 5: charges in several countries he'd have to fly over might
2:53
Speaker 5: make it difficult. President Trump also demanded that Chunk Schumer,
2:57
Speaker 5: minority leader in the US Senate, apologized for calling Ice
3:01
Speaker 5: and the Border Guard Trump's private army and saying that
3:05
Speaker 5: nobody respects them. He said he must immediately apologize to
3:10
Speaker 5: these great patriots, he said on a post on truth.
3:14
Speaker 5: Social Republicans in Congress are escalating their scrutiny of Act Blue.
3:19
Speaker 5: It's a major fundraising platform for Democrats, with a formal
3:22
Speaker 5: request for its chief executive to testify on Capitol Hill.
3:26
Speaker 5: House Administration Committee Chairman Brian Steele of Wisconsin said in
3:31
Speaker 5: a letter to Acting to Act Blue inviting Regina Wallace
3:37
Speaker 5: Jones to speak at a public hearing. This is a
3:40
Speaker 5: group that takes contributions from all over the place, and
3:43
Speaker 5: then they make the contributions to restricted political parties. So
3:50
Speaker 5: now onto the phones. Now that you know what's going
3:52
Speaker 5: on out there, let's see how it's impacting you, or
3:55
Speaker 5: at least giving you the feels. As they say on
3:58
Speaker 5: the interwebs, good morning, Joel is first up here this morning.
4:01
Speaker 5: Good morning, Joel, what's going on?
4:03
Speaker 6: Good morning, Joe.
4:05
Speaker 7: I think a lot of things you're talking about have
4:07
Speaker 7: to do with things that have been reflected back into
4:12
Speaker 7: how societal what are considered societal norms, not necessarily by
4:17
Speaker 7: a political party, but by how things were changed by
4:22
Speaker 7: media and public. So Number one, I agree with you.
4:26
Speaker 7: I think that Spirit Airlines should go down, and then
4:29
Speaker 7: you know that by the if we're really true capitalism,
4:33
Speaker 7: then to let them go down and then and then
4:37
Speaker 7: have a you know, rebuild, but not through taxpayers, because
4:41
Speaker 7: it's the same mentation of saying, well, there's nobody who
4:45
Speaker 7: loses in a in a game, right, And that's one
4:48
Speaker 7: of those things that they've.
4:50
Speaker 5: And there is there are certain things though that the
4:54
Speaker 5: government should be doing. So one of the things that
4:57
Speaker 5: makes Spirit Airlines untenable a lot of travelers is the
5:01
Speaker 5: fact that they can't get portage. They can't get into
5:05
Speaker 5: these airports that are locked up by you know, the
5:08
Speaker 5: couple of major American air carriers United and United was
5:14
Speaker 5: United and mostly the other one, uh not Continental that
5:20
Speaker 5: when they merged and an American and US air when
5:23
Speaker 5: they merged, you left us with a couple of airlines
5:27
Speaker 5: and these airports, if you go there, it's all this
5:30
Speaker 5: is US air that's you, and there's and so you.
5:34
Speaker 5: Spirit can get very few portage spots. This is what
5:38
Speaker 5: makes it very hard for them to fly now, is
5:40
Speaker 5: that incompetitive behavior, are these airports locking out blocking out
5:47
Speaker 5: Spirit airlines making it hard for them to fly to
5:50
Speaker 5: these places. So there are things that I think, you know,
5:55
Speaker 5: an honest brokerage in a government can look into. Uh,
5:59
Speaker 5: if there's collude behavior in airport deals that block out
6:04
Speaker 5: other air carriers from getting portage, yeah, I could look
6:08
Speaker 5: into those. I think there are roles that a court
6:13
Speaker 5: system in an economy can look into. But that being said,
6:18
Speaker 5: they've been going for a bunch of years, and you know,
6:21
Speaker 5: fly into smaller airports, fly into Midway, fly into you
6:25
Speaker 5: know that most of the major cities have secondary airports.
6:29
Speaker 5: Fly into MacArthur Airport in the New York area, or
6:34
Speaker 5: up in Orange County by the Air Force base there.
6:38
Speaker 5: You know that you can find places to fly into.
6:41
Speaker 5: It's not like these you know, major you know, Denver
6:45
Speaker 5: Airport is right in the middle of downtown, the new
6:48
Speaker 5: Denver Airports I think in Utah is so far away
6:51
Speaker 5: from Denver. So I mean there are things, there are
6:54
Speaker 5: roles I think a government can play if you're being
6:58
Speaker 5: a fair broke in this.
7:01
Speaker 1: Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
7:04
Speaker 1: people are actually happier with it.
7:06
Speaker 8: That sounds like something to look into. And that's meta share.
7:10
Speaker 1: Maybe you've heard joining metashare can save you or your
7:12
Speaker 1: family up to five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge, but.
7:16
Speaker 8: It's also true. People are just happier with it.
7:18
Speaker 1: They love being part of something that reflects and promotes their.
7:21
Speaker 8: Values and what they believe in.
7:23
Speaker 5: Meda Share works too.
7:24
Speaker 1: It's been around for thirty years now and members have
7:27
Speaker 1: shared more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills.
7:31
Speaker 1: People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network.
7:35
Speaker 1: So yeah, really you can save a ton and like
7:37
Speaker 1: it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
7:40
Speaker 1: of your health care, whether you're self employed or part
7:42
Speaker 1: of the gig economy, or you just want to plan
7:44
Speaker 1: that you're happy with.
7:46
Speaker 5: Here you go.
7:46
Speaker 1: You can call right now and get a price within
7:48
Speaker 1: two minutes, a very very smart use of two minutes.

7:56
Speaker 8: share forty eight five five share forty.
8:03
Speaker 9: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas. Yes,
8:08
Speaker 9: actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
8:13
Speaker 9: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
8:18
Speaker 9: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.

8:28
Speaker 9: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
8:32
Speaker 9: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
8:36

13:44
Speaker 5: I hold it a bag of Harris on the phone saying,
13:47
Speaker 5: whoever the character is in the song is dumber than
13:49
Speaker 5: making me look bad here four three four eight eight
13:52
Speaker 5: two four two one seven. Keeping it real is our
13:56
Speaker 5: programming philosophy for you, and really the only person and
14:00
Speaker 5: I care about on the planet. And there's a tree
14:03
Speaker 5: I so like, today is my boss's birthday. My wife
14:07
Speaker 5: owns fifty one percent of this company, so I must
14:10
Speaker 5: do right by that. But after that it's you, well
14:13
Speaker 5: all right, after her and my kids. Then it's you.
14:17
Speaker 5: But you're there. You're in the top three. You're like
14:20
Speaker 5: that running back from Notre Dame that went in the
14:23
Speaker 5: top three. You're still going to make bank there and
14:26
Speaker 5: we'll get to you in a moment. But our speaking
14:28
Speaker 5: of making bank, our friends at jcsgold dot com man
14:32
Speaker 5: not enough o'sonsmooth for me this morning. James Luck is
14:35
Speaker 5: on the phone with us at four three four eighty
14:38
Speaker 5: two four two one seven. James how are things going
14:42
Speaker 5: for gold and silver today?
14:45
Speaker 21: Gold and silver are a little bit on sale this morning,
14:48
Speaker 21: kind of, you know, finishing out this little pullback that
14:53
Speaker 21: we started this week. Gold is down just a coreter
14:56
Speaker 21: of a percent, down ten dollars to four thousand, six
14:59
Speaker 21: hundred eighty four dollars. Silver's down about three corps of
15:02
Speaker 21: recent to seventy four dollars and eighty one cents eighty
15:06
Speaker 21: two cents there. So, you know, just kind of a
15:09
Speaker 21: little pullback. But you know, golden silver really seem to
15:12
Speaker 21: have found their comfortable zones here. You know, forty six
15:18
Speaker 21: forty eight hundred dollars for gold and you know, mid
15:21
Speaker 21: to upper seventies for silver really seems to be a
15:24
Speaker 21: comfort level. And a lot of people are taking advantage
15:27
Speaker 21: of these little dips in price and they continue to
15:30
Speaker 21: stack because inflation hasn't gone away anytime soon, and golden
15:34
Speaker 21: silver the ultimate fight against inflation.
15:37
Speaker 5: We've been talking about that. Actually, Joel is going to
15:39
Speaker 5: come back with us in a little bit. We were
15:41
Speaker 5: talking about the devaluation centralized banking, and you know, and yes,
15:47
Speaker 5: it is the system that we have grown accustomed to.
15:50
Speaker 5: But if you go back to Brenton woods and all
15:53
Speaker 5: of these things that we've allowed ourselves to do. Look
15:56
Speaker 5: at how much the dollar has dipped just since JC
15:59
Speaker 5: has old has been in existence. And and if you
16:04
Speaker 5: go back to like nineteen sixty, I think the the
16:08
Speaker 5: US dollar buys about ten cents worth of stuff compared
16:12
Speaker 5: to what it could buy when you when your business
16:17
Speaker 5: first started in nineteen sixty one. And that's yeah, that's
16:21
Speaker 5: a big problem. I mean, un tethering ourselves from gold
16:25
Speaker 5: as the reserve currency of the United States. You know,
16:29
Speaker 5: we're running out of full faith and credit, James, so
16:33
Speaker 5: we better put gold back in there somewhere. So you
16:36
Speaker 5: have a great morning, sir, have a great weekend you
16:38
Speaker 5: and all the family. And again please call them and
16:42
Speaker 5: talk to them. This is a group that's not out
16:44
Speaker 5: there trying to get the quota met or a commission
16:48
Speaker 5: sheet filled out. They want to help you. At four
16:51
Speaker 5: three four nine seven nine two six four six. That's
16:55
Speaker 5: four three four nine seven nine coin After ten, I
17:00
Speaker 5: am Eastern James. Best to everyone, and we'll talk to
17:03
Speaker 5: you again on Monday.
17:05
Speaker 18: Sounds great, Thanks Joe.
17:07
Speaker 5: So doctor Clark was hanging on the line with us
17:10
Speaker 5: since a week a week and a half ago, and
17:13
Speaker 5: so I appreciate it, doctor Clark. Much has happened. I'm
17:17
Speaker 5: teasing it. Just he's being called in right before we
17:19
Speaker 5: went to the news at at the top of the hour.
17:22
Speaker 5: So Clark, how are you, sir? I'm all good. Let's see.
17:28
Speaker 22: Let's start off with our efforts to make speech more
17:32
Speaker 22: accurate on a daily basis. Southern Poverty Law Center as PLC. Yeah,
17:38
Speaker 22: let's call it what it is. Write this down, Sorrows
17:42
Speaker 22: paid Liar's Club.
17:44
Speaker 5: Oh that is so good, the sorrows paid liars. Go
17:49
Speaker 5: right you PLC. From now on we want aguray.
17:55
Speaker 6: Yes.
17:56
Speaker 22: And with their indictments, maybe you were seeing the age
18:01
Speaker 22: of great pretending starting to come to an end. We
18:04
Speaker 22: pretend that democrats don't hate America. We pretend that elections
18:08
Speaker 22: are fair and secure. We pretend that the intel community
18:13
Speaker 22: has not been utterly corrupted, that all branches of the
18:17
Speaker 22: federal government have not been weaponized against citizens.
18:20
Speaker 18: Et cetera, et cetera.
18:21
Speaker 22: And Matt, welcome to do We have no reason to
18:27
Speaker 22: believe the elections are fair, club, and our loss of
18:31
Speaker 22: faith is a feature, not a flaw. Joe, you started
18:35
Speaker 22: to go here. The moral authority of our system has
18:40
Speaker 22: to be derived from the consent of the government, and
18:45
Speaker 22: then yes, and if we the governed don't believe we consented,
18:51
Speaker 22: then all faith in our system is gone.
18:53
Speaker 18: It's lost.
18:55
Speaker 5: Well, that's why they need to disarm us. Because if
18:57
Speaker 5: we have faith in the people we elected, are you know,
19:00
Speaker 5: do you know the people we chose, then we don't
19:03
Speaker 5: need to worry about a tyrannical government. But if we
19:06
Speaker 5: feel like you know, and this goes there's a bigger
19:09
Speaker 5: aspect to this, because sure, sometimes a political party will win,
19:13
Speaker 5: sometimes it won't, But what power is being invested in
19:18
Speaker 5: this government? And I really feel like, you know, maybe
19:21
Speaker 5: in two thousand and two I undersold what we were
19:25
Speaker 5: trading in our efforts to fight terrorism. I was concerned then,
19:31
Speaker 5: and I was a lonely voice in the crowd, still
19:35
Speaker 5: working in rock and roll radio. So most people are like, hey,
19:37
Speaker 5: can you get back to play in the hits please?
19:39
Speaker 5: You know, shut the pie hole please, So they didn't,
19:43
Speaker 5: you know, those people did want to hear it because
19:45
Speaker 5: it was post September eleventh. But my concern was that
19:50
Speaker 5: in this zeal to enact revenge on those people who
19:53
Speaker 5: had killed three thousand people in one massive terror attack.
20:00
Speaker 5: We were going to lose the things that made us
20:03
Speaker 5: us and that's always the goal of a terrorist. So
20:07
Speaker 5: you know, if you give up who you are in
20:10
Speaker 5: exchange for you know, ending a terror attack, then you
20:15
Speaker 5: then you've lost the terror attack. The terrorist wins.
20:20
Speaker 23: No.
20:22
Speaker 22: Given what we just said, you have to understand that
20:25
Speaker 22: the mission of the Sorrow's Paid Liars Club was to
20:32
Speaker 22: label those most likely to protest and resist. That's right
20:38
Speaker 22: wing extremists. Remember when Joe Biden told us greatest that
20:42
Speaker 22: to the country was what Joe right.
20:46
Speaker 5: But first, but first, you have to give everyone a
20:49
Speaker 5: pretty tangible picture. And that's what Charlottesville served as this
20:54
Speaker 5: It was it was like the cover of Saturday Evening Post.
20:58
Speaker 5: You want to know what right wing extremists look like,
21:00
Speaker 5: here you go. And now we find out that they
21:02
Speaker 5: were paid for by the Soros Paid Liars Club and
21:07
Speaker 5: to charter members.
21:10
Speaker 22: In the absence of an actual boogeyman, one must be created.
21:14
Speaker 22: Now here's where we are, Joe. We're going to just
21:18
Speaker 22: have to openly accept and admit that the Democrats hate America,
21:23
Speaker 22: and we're going to have to recognize that we are,
21:26
Speaker 22: in fact Charlie Brown and John thy and the Republicans
21:31
Speaker 22: at all are lucy constantly year after year snatching the football.
21:38
Speaker 5: Away, Joe.
21:39
Speaker 22: If we're ever going to kick the football, we've got
21:42
Speaker 22: to find somebody else to hold it well, you know.
21:44
Speaker 5: And that came up, you know, that was a little
21:46
Speaker 5: bit of our conversation on Tuesday. Is political parties, uh,
21:50
Speaker 5: and where they come from? And we only have two
21:53
Speaker 5: right now, and they behave like they are, you know,
21:56
Speaker 5: ersat's fourth and fifth branches of the US government.
22:00
Speaker 24: And hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National League Training for
22:04

Speaker 24: moderate aerobic activity in a week's time. But here's the
22:13
Speaker 24: thing that one hundred and fifty minutes does not need
22:15

22:18
Speaker 24: could just be you moving your body and doing what
22:20
Speaker 24: you already love to do, like exercise. And a stronger
22:23
Speaker 24: heart doesn't just mean cardio, right, it means also infusing

28:25
Speaker 2: in the first place. So let's say.
28:27
Speaker 6: One million dollars.
28:31
Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas and the Talk to
28:34
Speaker 2: Me a network.
28:40
Speaker 5: This beautiful spring Friday, dawning over America at four three
28:46
Speaker 5: four eight eight two four two one seven. That is
28:49
Speaker 5: our phone number. Emails. You can use it as a
28:52
Speaker 5: text message hotline as well, and then emails come into
28:58
Speaker 5: JT in the warning radio at gmail dot com. And
29:04
Speaker 5: Joel was on the line with us, and we were
29:06
Speaker 5: talking about Spirit Airlines and their issues and their struggles
29:12
Speaker 5: and whether or not the taxpayers should be asked to
29:15
Speaker 5: bail them out.
29:17
Speaker 7: But Joe, look at it this way too. This I'm
29:20
Speaker 7: going to kind of hopefully this will make sense. But
29:23
Speaker 7: the Federal Reserve? How many how many of the top
29:27
Speaker 7: banks that we know of? People go, oh, well, the
29:30
Speaker 7: Federal Reserve is really controlled by one person, No it is.
29:35
Speaker 7: It is controlled maybe by three or four banks that
29:38
Speaker 7: that are top banks in America. So that could happen.
29:42
Speaker 7: You said, okay, well there's certain air you know, runways
29:46
Speaker 7: and parts of the airports that they're not going to
29:49
Speaker 7: be able to fly into or get help. And it's
29:52
Speaker 7: the same thing. Well, we don't have monopolies, but yes
29:55
Speaker 7: we do.
29:55
Speaker 5: We have we have central bank.
29:57
Speaker 7: Yeah, right right, we have and groups that are still
30:02
Speaker 7: controlling and they're controlling the government, and the government is
30:05
Speaker 7: we the people? They're putting the burden on the taxpayer.
30:09
Speaker 7: And people go, well, no, it isn't. It's a political party.
30:12
Speaker 7: Well yeah, maybe a political party, but it's an enter too.
30:16
Speaker 7: And those enterprises or stockholders chief you know, and I'm
30:21
Speaker 7: not picking on corporations, but where does it all go.
30:24
Speaker 7: It's like we you, you and bigger lost our individuality.
30:30
Speaker 5: Well here's the delicious irony in this. So you talk
30:36
Speaker 5: about central bank banking and Hamilton. Uh, and you know
30:40
Speaker 5: who should who shouldn't get a Broadway show to him?
30:45
Speaker 5: But do you know that it was Alexander Hamilton and
30:48
Speaker 5: central banking that was the reason Thomas Jefferson formed the
30:52
Speaker 5: Democratic Party in the first place. No, well, it was that, Well,
30:58
Speaker 5: it was that that centralization of economy and John Adams
31:05
Speaker 5: bullying Congress into alien insedition acts drove Jefferson to start
31:09
Speaker 5: a whole new party, much in the same way the
31:12
Speaker 5: Republican Party was born on the Northern States saying we
31:16
Speaker 5: need a political party to stand up to the Dixiecrats
31:20
Speaker 5: and slavery that they had lost interest in. You know,
31:24
Speaker 5: they liked the central banks, you know, once it was
31:26
Speaker 5: funding slavery that Dixiecrats one hundred years later they did.
31:31
Speaker 5: But you know, I think the centralized banking is a
31:34
Speaker 5: big problem. And you know the funny thing is is
31:37
Speaker 5: people will point to the United States economic power in
31:41
Speaker 5: the world. A lot of that is because we didn't
31:43
Speaker 5: get blown to smithereens in World War Two. Brenton Woods
31:47
Speaker 5: that everyone comes to New England and they sit down
31:51
Speaker 5: and the British sterling in nineteen forty four was the
31:55
Speaker 5: reserve currency of the world and Britain was a pile
31:59
Speaker 5: of rubbles without a manufacturing base or anything else. So
32:03
Speaker 5: the US said, well, we'll transition it to the US dollar,
32:06
Speaker 5: and we've been the reserve currency of the world ever since.
32:09
Speaker 5: And it has allowed our government to continue to embarrass
32:14
Speaker 5: drunken sailors by our behavior. And that's that's what's made
32:19
Speaker 5: your dollar so invaluable. It's amazing to me. How bad
32:23
Speaker 5: is the Iranian economy, Joel? If a real, you know,
32:28
Speaker 5: one real has to be traded for one point four
32:32
Speaker 5: million US dollars, and our US dollars are worth bup
32:36
Speaker 5: kiss compared to what they were when you and I
32:38
Speaker 5: were born. So this is somebody is just driving these
32:42
Speaker 5: vehicles into a ditch and then getting behind a podium
32:47
Speaker 5: and flouncing democracy in front of us.
32:51
Speaker 7: And you opened up with the perfect song, dear mister fantasy,
32:55
Speaker 7: because that's what people are living on, a fantasy. You know,
32:58
Speaker 7: the dollars, the dollar is there, but is it is it?
33:02
Speaker 7: Is it decimal point before or after it?
33:05
Speaker 5: That's the that is the question. And and this is
33:07
Speaker 5: the thing I mean, and the same thing happened in Rome.
33:10
Speaker 5: Let's not pat ourselves on the back and say that
33:12
Speaker 5: we're creative. Rome went through the same thing. Uh, Lawrence
33:16
Speaker 5: read from the Foundation for Economic Education. Uh, it's feed
33:21
Speaker 5: dot org has as wonderful. It's not even a long book.
33:25
Speaker 5: It's titled are We Rome? And it is chilling all
33:28
Speaker 5: the comparative things. Uh, doctor Clark, Uh, you know the
33:32
Speaker 5: the the this live action role play under this auspice
33:37
Speaker 5: of this is what America supposedly used to be. Is
33:41
Speaker 5: is I think just almost an intentional performance.
33:46
Speaker 22: Where they come from doesn't concern me as much as
33:48
Speaker 22: where they're both taking us. And that's straight to hell.
33:52
Speaker 5: Right, because they're they're looking into their own interests as
33:55
Speaker 5: an organization. Is this is the thing about allowing these
33:58
Speaker 5: organizations to have this kind of power and government just
34:03
Speaker 5: the same A government's inclination is to protect and promote
34:08
Speaker 5: the government. It is an organization just like Spirit Airlines.
34:13
Speaker 5: Spirit Airlines wants people to fly Spirit Airlines. The US
34:16
Speaker 5: government wants you to do what they tell you to do.
34:20
Speaker 5: The Southern Poverty Law Center wants you to click on
34:24
Speaker 5: their website and give them money so that they can
34:26
Speaker 5: go and start hate riots out there so they can
34:30
Speaker 5: look like they're doing something. Organizations have agendas, that's just nature.
34:35
Speaker 5: Thomas Media has an agenda. We want to do a
34:38
Speaker 5: good radio program so everyone listens to it, and we
34:41
Speaker 5: can make some money to pay our bills by selling
34:44
Speaker 5: sponsorships on it. We all have those. I'm sure your
34:47
Speaker 5: animal clinic has, McCrory, right, McCrary animal Clinic has an agenda,
34:52
Speaker 5: you know, help pets when they're sick, get better and
34:56
Speaker 5: help their parents, their partners, you know, have a good
35:01
Speaker 5: life with their pets at their side. So saying that
35:05
Speaker 5: somebody has an agenda is not patently evil. What you
35:09
Speaker 5: have to judge is what does that agenda entail and
35:13
Speaker 5: what is its outcome?
35:16
Speaker 22: Well, yes, and the Democrat Party does an excellent job
35:22
Speaker 22: and looking after the interests of the Democrat Party, and
35:24
Speaker 22: the Republican Party does a great job in looking after
35:28
Speaker 22: the Republican Party and their corporate sponsors.
35:31
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the Democratic Party has corporate sponsors too.
35:36
Speaker 22: The Democrat Party has mega donors and global mega donors.
35:42
Speaker 5: Yeah.
35:42
Speaker 22: So but that's where the money, you know, and neither
35:46
Speaker 22: one of them are reliant on nor responsive to the
35:49
Speaker 22: American people at this point.
35:51
Speaker 5: Well, they are to the point of they need the
35:54
Speaker 5: American people to give them the image or the appearance
35:59
Speaker 5: of having a authorady to do the things they do.
36:02
Speaker 5: Let me get to you. We've got Wilson Fairchild great
36:04
Speaker 5: the best selling country Western act new album coming out
36:08
Speaker 5: called uh the American Songbook. But let me get to
36:11
Speaker 5: you first. Good morning. Who's this.
36:15
Speaker 2: Hey?
36:15
Speaker 31: This is Moscow, Bob, and I love what you talked
36:18
Speaker 31: about the banks and the dollar and the strength because
36:22
Speaker 31: doctor Clark is pretty much right. The said, yes, Jerome
36:26
Speaker 31: Powell controlled everything, but he was on the payroll. I'd
36:30
Speaker 31: like to know his private conversations and messages with Jamie
36:36
Speaker 31: Diamonds and all these executives of the banks.
36:39
Speaker 5: Well, and you look at the regulations Wall Street regulations
36:43
Speaker 5: that have changed so much in the nineties, and people
36:45
Speaker 5: are always like, oh, you're just blaming Clinton for it. Well,
36:48
Speaker 5: gin Ridge and Company, we're in there as well. We
36:51
Speaker 5: allowed things to happen on Wall Street in the nineties
36:54
Speaker 5: that never had happened before to create the illusion of prosperity.
36:59
Speaker 5: I mean, look on Wall Streets. Just hit records again
37:03
Speaker 5: yesterday and it was like, how's this happening? We're in
37:05
Speaker 5: the middle of a war that's making oil more expensive.
37:08
Speaker 31: Well, what's happening is think about it this way. Look
37:13
Speaker 31: at the Russian rubles in the past. Since the start
37:17
Speaker 31: of this year, it's strengthened by ten but yet supposedly
37:23
Speaker 31: according to the US government and the NATO and European Union,
37:31
Speaker 31: that Russia's in deep dire concern with their economy. I
37:36
Speaker 31: think the biggest issue going on right now, not just Russia,
37:41
Speaker 31: but why some currencies are stronger against the dollar is
37:45
Speaker 31: because they're country itself is solvent. They're not so deep
37:52
Speaker 31: in debt. Now, like you said, right now, the people
37:56
Speaker 31: making all the money off the you know, the warner
38:00
Speaker 31: in the.
38:00
Speaker 9: Stud In a study, it was found that thirty three
38:04
Speaker 9: percent of forty four herbal supplements had no trace of
38:08
Speaker 9: the advertised herb. Don't let that happen to you. Hi,

39:08
Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I

Speaker 9: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our

39:32
Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
39:37

39:42

Speaker 33: Hybody Jack Hannah, and It's always a boy. Growing up
41:02
Speaker 33: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
41:05
Speaker 33: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
41:07
Speaker 33: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
41:09
Speaker 33: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
41:13
Speaker 33: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
41:15
Speaker 33: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
41:18
Speaker 33: for their families, or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows
41:21
Speaker 33: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
41:23
Speaker 33: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
41:26
Speaker 33: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
41:30
Speaker 33: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
41:33
Speaker 33: perform life saving work every day.
41:35
Speaker 14: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
41:36
Speaker 33: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTSS.
41:39

Speaker 14: In their blood chemistry.
41:43
Speaker 33: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
41:46

Speaker 17: But I'm afraid in the Russians.
44:24
Speaker 18: I can't sleep.
44:25
Speaker 5: We left Bob on the line. He was just making
44:27
Speaker 5: a point about monetary and we've had Wilson Fairchild Country
44:32
Speaker 5: Western stars coming up. But Bob, finish your point you
44:34
Speaker 5: were making.
44:36
Speaker 31: You watch there's big fluctuations every day based on what
44:42
Speaker 31: happens and Iran in all the leaked information, so they're
44:46
Speaker 31: making tons of money. But at some point it's like
44:49
Speaker 31: the dot com, it's a bubble that's going to.
44:51
Speaker 5: Burst, right because it's not based on doing something, it's
44:55
Speaker 5: based on something happening, and that's you know, it sounds
44:58
Speaker 5: like I'm saying the same thing. Good stuf, Bob. Good
45:00
Speaker 5: to hear from you.
45:02
Speaker 31: Hey, have a great weekend.
45:03
Speaker 5: YouTube and that's an important journe new one's point there.
45:09
Speaker 35: I just think, like something good is about to happen.
45:13
Speaker 5: This is Wilson Fairchild.
45:15
Speaker 8: You like something good his own way.
45:18
Speaker 5: They're out of Central Virginia, open all of heaven so
45:24
Speaker 5: and will read any day and langdon read as as
45:31
Speaker 5: in the Statler Brothers. And they have got a new
45:36
Speaker 5: record out. It's called the American Songbook.
45:39
Speaker 23: Just do like something good is about to happen.
45:44
Speaker 5: And brother, this could be that very day.
45:47
Speaker 18: You know, I'm gonna take a little feature.
45:50
Speaker 5: Maybe I think I can make a decent case that
45:53
Speaker 5: this is gonna break the format here. I remember when
45:57
Speaker 5: Shanaia Twain came out with I don't know if it
46:01
Speaker 5: was their second album or not. The joke spread through
46:03
Speaker 5: country music circles. I don't know which country, but it
46:09
Speaker 5: is a format of music that touches so many things.
46:12
Speaker 5: It's more than rock and roll, it's more than pop.
46:16
Speaker 5: It is so many parts of Americana that it almost
46:20
Speaker 5: marvels that somebody hasn't done this before. Joined by Wilson Fairchild,
46:25
Speaker 5: whose pedigree in the country music world is unquestioned and
46:29
Speaker 5: pedigree in America is unquestioned, and they've brought both together
46:33
Speaker 5: and a new record is called The American Songbook. And
46:38
Speaker 5: Langdon and and thank you guys for so much. Will
46:43
Speaker 5: thank you guys both for putting the album together but
46:48
Speaker 5: joining us to talk a little bit about it. And
46:50
Speaker 5: busy times as you get ready for you know, the
46:53
Speaker 5: July fourth celebration that you're so famous for. How are
46:56
Speaker 5: you guys doing today?
46:58
Speaker 18: We're doing great, Man, great with you.
47:00
Speaker 23: We're doing great. Joe, good to see you, man, thanks
47:02
Speaker 23: for having his own.
47:04
Speaker 5: I see the backdrop there on the zoom link. Getting
47:06
Speaker 5: ready for Happy Birthday America? Are you already on stage
47:09
Speaker 5: doing a sound check for July fourth?
47:13
Speaker 18: Can't start earning up right?
47:15
Speaker 5: It won't be long, no details, and we'll spend a
47:19
Speaker 5: little time at the end talking about this. But Will
47:23
Speaker 5: and Langdon's family has been part of the biggest American
47:27
Speaker 5: July fourth celebration for coming up on what fifty years
47:31
Speaker 5: now we're getting, you know a.
47:33
Speaker 35: Little more than actually nineteen seventy was when this celebration started.
47:38
Speaker 35: So I don't know, my math is a little fuzzy
47:40
Speaker 35: this morning, but it's fifty plus years.
47:42
Speaker 5: We just call it that. In New York City Public schools.
47:44
Speaker 5: So don't ask me to do math there. I was
47:48
Speaker 5: an English guy. I didn't do math obviously. By the
47:52
Speaker 5: songwriting talk about the project though, of taking gospel and
47:57
Speaker 5: country and really highlighting how now both have existed together
48:03
Speaker 5: so importantly in American music history. Guys, uh for sure.
48:09
Speaker 23: So you know, we we were thrilled to land at
48:13
Speaker 23: the Gaither Music Group a few years ago because what
48:17
Speaker 23: langdon I've always done through our music and all the
48:20
Speaker 23: roads we've been down on in the music industry is
48:23
Speaker 23: traditional country. You know, that's just the way we we
48:26
Speaker 23: we heard it growing up, That's the way we wrote
48:28
Speaker 23: it and the way we perform it. And so you know,
48:32
Speaker 23: a few years ago we had our first record on
48:34
Speaker 23: Gaither Statler made and they let us, you know, come
48:37
Speaker 23: in and we recorded some Statler brother hits, you know,
48:39
Speaker 23: to make the connection with who we are and where
48:42
Speaker 23: we come from, and some country records and three gospel
48:46
Speaker 23: things because gospel music has always been a part.
48:49
Speaker 5: Of what we do.
48:51
Speaker 23: But you're right, and then that got us to an
48:54
Speaker 23: American Songbook because you know, when we talk about early
48:59
Speaker 23: rock and roll, you know, two songs that's on American Songbook.
49:02
Speaker 23: One is Johnny be Good, Uh, Chuck Berry and the others.
49:06
Speaker 23: That's all right, mama, and Elvis song and and that's
49:10
Speaker 23: where all that really began, of that, all that music
49:13
Speaker 23: coming together, uh, the southern, the gospel, the blues, country.
49:19
Speaker 19: You know.
49:19
Speaker 23: I saw an interview not too long ago, uh with
49:22
Speaker 23: Elvis and and that's what that's what he said back
49:25
Speaker 23: in the early seventies. He said, you know, it's no
49:27
Speaker 23: secret how rocket rock was born, that all those things
49:31
Speaker 23: came together. And you know, so then fast forward fifty
49:35
Speaker 23: sixty years.
49:37
Speaker 5: That's how me.
49:37
Speaker 23: And Langdon have always heard music, you know, even through
49:40
Speaker 23: our dads, the Statler Brothers, and country music has always
49:43
Speaker 23: really embraced gospel. You know, a country artist will eventually
49:47
Speaker 23: do a gospel record.
49:48
Speaker 5: You know, probably where they learned learned to sing in
49:52
Speaker 5: the first place.
49:53
Speaker 18: Absolute exactly. We did too, and we did we did too,
49:56
Speaker 18: you know.
49:57
Speaker 23: We just we were just in Texas, uh on a
50:00
Speaker 23: short tour and did a few dates and we got
50:03
Speaker 23: to see one of our heroes, Gene Watson, who had
50:06
Speaker 23: a ton of country hits over the years. And he's
50:09
Speaker 23: a friend and he's great. But he said on stage
50:12
Speaker 23: about when he went in to do his gospel record
50:15
Speaker 23: in Nashville. He brought two or three of his sisters
50:19
Speaker 23: in the studio with him to sing on the record, and.
50:25
Speaker 18: He said he wasn't worried.
50:26
Speaker 23: About their singing because they've been singing together in.
50:29
Speaker 18: Church, you know, their whole lives. But that pretty much
50:32
Speaker 18: sums it up.
50:33
Speaker 23: You know, that's kind of where all of our music
50:36
Speaker 23: is rooted from.
50:37
Speaker 5: You mentioned Elvis, guys, and I remember about a year
50:41
Speaker 5: ago I had the opportunity. I was just scrolling through
50:45
Speaker 5: Spotify and I played Elvis's version of Amazing Grace and
50:50
Speaker 5: somebody came up to me and said, who is that?
50:53
Speaker 5: And I looked at him and I thought they were
50:55
Speaker 5: ramping me up like specause I think you hear and
50:59
Speaker 5: you and maybe the radio doesn't do enough of playing
51:03
Speaker 5: songs like that anymore, but you know, to hear the
51:08
Speaker 5: power in a voice that's and I think a little
51:12
Speaker 5: bit of gospel and what makes country special is the
51:15
Speaker 5: voice is coming from more than just your diaphragm. I mean,
51:19
Speaker 5: there is something about singing these praise, songs of praise
51:24
Speaker 5: that can take a sad song and bring it to
51:27
Speaker 5: a place where the sadness uplifts almost biblically that you know,
51:32
Speaker 5: a sad story actually makes you feel better for the
51:36
Speaker 5: hearing of it. Does that make any sense?
51:38
Speaker 18: Yeah, it's a's your soul right there. Absolutely yes. And
51:43
Speaker 18: we're talking about Elvis.
51:44
Speaker 35: You know, we're huge Elvis fans and we've been influenced
51:46
Speaker 35: by by his music. We would hear Elvis sing a
51:49
Speaker 35: song and we thought it was an Elvis song, but
51:51
Speaker 35: so many times, you.
51:52
Speaker 18: Know, cutting somebody else's cover songs.
51:54
Speaker 35: So and I was sitting here thinking about the playlist
51:58
Speaker 35: on American Songbook, these thirteen songs that we've chosen, And
52:04
Speaker 35: as you said, we got we got gospel on there.
52:06
Speaker 35: Of course, you know, we got to Bill gate Thur
52:07
Speaker 35: written song on there. We got I Saw the Light. Well,
52:10
Speaker 35: there's a perfect blend of country and gospel. When you
52:13
Speaker 35: got Hank Senior writing a gospel song, I mean, he
52:17
Speaker 35: doesn't get any better, he doesn't get any of it.
52:19
Speaker 35: And as you said, you know with the Elvis cuts,
52:21
Speaker 35: with the with the Johnny B. Good we got Bridge
52:24
Speaker 35: over Troubled Waters on there. Elvis did that one. That's
52:27
Speaker 35: the first time we probably heard that. Yeah, we got
52:29
Speaker 35: Blue Moon in Kentucky. You know, there's a song at
52:31
Speaker 35: Bill Monroe and Elvis Presley did.
52:34
Speaker 5: Yeah, hang on in a second, guys, we've got to
52:35
Speaker 5: come up on a new suit. So let's let's do
52:38
Speaker 5: that Elvis songs.
52:51
Speaker 14: My name is Bobby. I'm a veteran and lost my
52:54
Speaker 14: leg to a roadside bomb.

53:18

53:23
Speaker 20: DAV offers veterans of all generations a lifetime of support
53:27
Speaker 20: for victories great and small.
53:29
