  Speaker 6: He only as.
• 0:38
  Speaker 7: Joe, thank you for letting us be of service to
• 0:40
  Speaker 7: you this morning. So we gather in your name at
• 0:45
  Speaker 7: four three four eight eight two four two one seven.
• 0:49
  Speaker 7: That is a phone number. That is a text Mason
• 0:51
  Speaker 7: messaging hotline. That's even a dessert topping. If you're really, really,
• 0:55
  Speaker 7: really in need for it. It's your way to tell
• 0:58
  Speaker 7: us how the news of the day is impacting you
• 1:02
  Speaker 7: where you are. This one, just protect the jobs, Joe
• 1:09
  Speaker 7: and Spirit Airlines is the title of it. Just protect
• 1:13
  Speaker 7: the jobs. And as with many things, conceptually not a problem,
• 1:20
  Speaker 7: not a problem with that whatsoever. It's the how where
• 1:26
  Speaker 7: the devil is in the details. This one about the
• 1:29
  Speaker 7: Southern Poverty Law Center.
• 1:31
  Speaker 8: Joe.
• 1:31
  Speaker 7: This is just the Trump administration targeting more of the
• 1:34
  Speaker 7: people who hate him. This is nothing more than pardon me,
• 1:39
  Speaker 7: political retribution and using the government to go after your enemies.
• 1:44
  Speaker 7: I thought people like you, and I always love when
• 1:49
  Speaker 7: stories start with people like you. I guess you mean
• 1:52
  Speaker 7: conservatives go after Merrick Garland for going after Joe Biden's enemies.
• 2:00
  Speaker 7: But then when you do it, it's all well and
• 2:02
  Speaker 7: good because it's Trump and it's I'm and I can
• 2:09
  Speaker 7: only say this in retrospect. If you go to the
• 2:11
  Speaker 7: podcast channel at Joe Thomas in the Morning dot com,
• 2:17
  Speaker 7: pick a distributory, you can pick and choose and listen
• 2:19
  Speaker 7: to the shows as we post them. Yes, yes, I know,
• 2:23
  Speaker 7: yesterday became a cacophony of things, and today is going
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: to be a busy day as well. It's my wife's birthday,
• 2:28
  Speaker 7: so we're gonna have a lot of things going on.
• 2:31
  Speaker 7: But I'll try to get caught up on the podcasts
• 2:33
  Speaker 7: again today. As people have listened to this program a
• 2:38
  Speaker 7: long time, know that there is a frequent issue with
• 2:42
  Speaker 7: me falling behind on podcast postings. But if you go there,
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: I guarantee you will find places where I'm not out
• 2:49
  Speaker 7: there just bashing people for going after political enemies. If
• 2:53
  Speaker 7: there was ever a moment I went after Merrick Garland,
• 2:56
  Speaker 7: it was when he was going after parents at school
• 2:59
  Speaker 7: board meetings that didn't have any political enemies in it.
• 3:03
  Speaker 7: But we will get further into the SBLC issue. The
• 3:07
  Speaker 7: civil rights leaders are all circling the wagons around Southern
• 3:10
  Speaker 7: Poverty Law Center and the indictment from the Department of Justice.
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: President Trump said Thursday in a press gaggle in the
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: Oval Office that he would not use nuclear weapons against Iran,
• 3:24
  Speaker 7: but he did say the clock is ticking for the
• 3:26
  Speaker 7: Islamic Republic in their war with the United States. Meanwhile,
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: the Revolutionary Guardcore Navy has reportedly laid additional minds through
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: the Strait of Hormuz. The development reported in Axios was
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: confirmed by a US official, who said American authorities are
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: tracking the mind laying activity. President Trump says he's weighing
• 3:51
  Speaker 7: a taxpayer funded takeover of Spirit Airlines, and then he
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: would aim to resell the air carrier after things become
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: more economical for air travel. He said that purchase with
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: the US government on a financing deal that would help
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: it emerge from bankruptcy protection instead of having to shut down.
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: They have some good aircraft and good assets. We'll sell
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: it for a profit. United States is going to invite
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: Russian President of Vladimir Putin to the G twenty summit.
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: They're not hopefully he's going to come, because flying over
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: several countries that have warrants out for his arrest is
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: probably a perilous thing. President Trump called on Senate Minority
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: Leader Chuck Schumer to apologize to the border Guard and
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: the Ice officers that he referred to as quote Trump's
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: private army. He must have immediately apologized to these great patriots,
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: and I mean now, he wrote on truth. Microsoft is
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: planning a voluntary employee buyout program for the first time
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: in fifty one years. If you've worked there and are
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: of an age that totals more than seventy, you will
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: be presented with a buyout plan if you want. Republicans
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: in Congress are escalating scrutiny of Act Blue. This is
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: a campaign laundering. I mean a fundraising website for people
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: to give to the Democratic Party and then it only
• 5:40
  Speaker 7: is seen as a contribution.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: To Act Blue.
• 5:44

  Speaker 6: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market.
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: any nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: or reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51

• 10:26
  Speaker 13: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29
  Speaker 13: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 10:32
  Speaker 13: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
• 10:35
  Speaker 13: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
• 10:38

  Speaker 2: The first thing today.
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: Good for America podcast and Bob I left you with
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: a poser when we wanted to the news at the
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: top of the hour, The issue with priorities. Republican Party
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: claims that you know the Left is making us turn
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: on it and that it wants to divide us. And
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: I know that that is something that the left wants
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: to do. But they're the ones who gave all this
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: money to John Cornyn. They're the ones who gave all
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: the money to Tommy Massey's opponent. They're the ones who
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: have all the money and didn't want to send than
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: the of it to Virginian And now they're claiming Virginians
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: are unfairly treating them over the monies that weren't spent.
• 14:10
  Speaker 16: It does obviously a period a continuity to beer completely
• 14:14
  Speaker 16: misguided and if not misappropriated, if you will, But the priorities,
• 14:19
  Speaker 16: to your point, spend some sixty billion, excuse me, sixty
• 14:22
  Speaker 16: million dollars trying to determine who the nominee is in Texas,
• 14:26
  Speaker 16: that it's John Corny and over Ken Paxton. At least
• 14:28
  Speaker 16: the party would desire that to spend ten million dollars,
• 14:31
  Speaker 16: to your point, trying to defeat Thomas Massey so that
• 14:33
  Speaker 16: we get a compliant, obedient, additional, one more additional Republican
• 14:38
  Speaker 16: in that Kentucky district, Kentucky four. I think that it is. Meanwhile, Virginia,
• 14:43
  Speaker 16: the redistricting effort, the no vote the right no vote
• 14:47
  Speaker 16: was out spent some three to one. When the Republican
• 14:50
  Speaker 16: Party nationally has more money than Democrat Party does, and
• 14:53
  Speaker 16: this is a national issue because it determines or will
• 14:57
  Speaker 16: influence at least the Republican House, who has control, who
• 15:00
  Speaker 16: has the majority. Meanwhile, to your point, we turned to
• 15:02
  Speaker 16: Florida once again, Florida to save us, Florida to Bellisile.
• 15:06
  Speaker 16: It is almost like that governor should be president or something,
• 15:08
  Speaker 16: since he impacts the country so much and sets the example.
• 15:12
  Speaker 16: But it's funny. Florida is again to your questions about
• 15:15
  Speaker 16: the Republican Party, the problem the Publican Party is half
• 15:18
  Speaker 16: of the Republicans are really Democrats, and none of the
• 15:20
  Speaker 16: Democrats are really Republicans, as you know. But Florida, Florida
• 15:24
  Speaker 16: has super majorities in the Republican legislature, and Ron DeSantis
• 15:27
  Speaker 16: has to force them, force them against their wishes to
• 15:31
  Speaker 16: do conservative things. He's been doing that now for seven years,
• 15:34
  Speaker 16: and he will have to do that in the redistricting
• 15:36
  Speaker 16: as well. California has done it, New York's done it,
• 15:39
  Speaker 16: Illinois has done it. All of New England not one
• 15:41
  Speaker 16: Republican rep and the whole sixth state contingency, that is
• 15:44
  Speaker 16: New England. Republicans are trying to catch up. Fight fire
• 15:47
  Speaker 16: with fire, do what Democrats do. Florida needs to do it,
• 15:50
  Speaker 16: and that will end up putting the balance in Republicans
• 15:53
  Speaker 16: favor on the national redistricting effort.
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: Well, and you talk about again Republicans fighting. We go
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: back to this anonymous Republican who was talking to the
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: Hill about the Save America Act. How is this a
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: controversial issue? How is this the idea that only you know,
• 16:11
  Speaker 7: American citizens can register to vote a controversial issue amongst Republicans? Bob,
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: you know these people, you know, what is it really
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: what you said that you know half the half the
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: Republicans or Democrats, but not half the Democrats.
• 16:28
  Speaker 16: Republicans well upwards to ninety five percent of elected officials
• 16:34
  Speaker 16: and including Republican officials. Their priority is to stay elected officials.
• 16:39
  Speaker 16: That is number one. So they look at everything through
• 16:41
  Speaker 16: that lens. And to your point, I don't really get.
• 16:43
  Speaker 16: I realized that bad Republicans want more ill, legal, cheap
• 16:47
  Speaker 16: foreign labor. They want things like the Dreamers to be
• 16:50
  Speaker 16: able to stay, they want amnesty, they want to keep
• 16:52
  Speaker 16: the Haitians here. We've seen those votes accordingly, are those
• 16:55
  Speaker 16: support according to the Republican House in recent days, but
• 17:00
  Speaker 16: the Save America Act to require voter, to require id
• 17:04
  Speaker 16: to vote, to require proof of citizenship to register to
• 17:07
  Speaker 16: vote and to vote in our elections. How could any
• 17:10
  Speaker 16: Republican oppose that? Perhaps there's some poll tested numbers and
• 17:17
  Speaker 16: purple or blue leaning Republican health seats. I don't know.
• 17:21
  Speaker 16: I am baffled at that one as well.
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: Well, And I'm going to say this with tongue in cheek.
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: It's like your old friend Marjorie Taylor Green now saying, well,
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: it's because my family's construction company would have would lose
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: all these employees. Really, so you were employee non citizens
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: at your construction company, Marjorie. Can we talk about that
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: a minute. Nobody is. But it also highlights as something
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: Ron Paul mentioned over decades, which is, you can't just
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: keep pushing higher wages and more benefits without understanding what
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: it's going to do to the economy. We have to
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: look at our labor laws as some of the regulations
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: that are causing these problems you wind up with to
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: take Jake the mayor of Minneapolis, saying, oh, we're just
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: trying to protect the people who clean up our kitchens
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: and take care of our children. What you mean you
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: don't want to pay them twenty dollars an hour like
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: your country, your count your states are all voting for
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: that's to me, it's it's almost like a class system
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: or a caste system, or even worse slavery. You know
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: from the eighteen hundreds.
• 18:30
  Speaker 16: The free market works. The free capitalist free market system,
• 18:35
  Speaker 16: as incision with the way our country was established, is
• 18:38
  Speaker 16: the best economic system to provide the most opportunity, the
• 18:43
  Speaker 16: most the greatest amount of degree of prosperity, upward mobility,
• 18:47
  Speaker 16: potential in all of that that's ever been invented in
• 18:50
  Speaker 16: the history of the world. It's imperfect because it's got
• 18:52
  Speaker 16: imperfect people. But to allow the free market system to
• 18:56
  Speaker 16: work and they have government hands out of the out
• 19:00
  Speaker 16: of the pot, if you will, it is the way
• 19:02
  Speaker 16: to go. And Ron Paul was certainly ahead of his
• 19:04
  Speaker 16: time when he was running for president and making those
• 19:06
  Speaker 16: cases so effectively a couple of decades ago.
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: Well, so what's coming up this week on the Good
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: for America podcast, Bob before we have to let you go.

• 19:26
  Speaker 16: going to talk about FISA renewal, which looks like they're
• 19:28
  Speaker 16: going to stick us with that without constitutional reforms by
• 19:31
  Speaker 16: the way, next week.
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: Now, Morgan was one of the people. Morgan was one
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: of the people who was pushing back against that too.
• 19:38
  Speaker 16: Yeah, he's strong on that. We're going to talk about
• 19:40
  Speaker 16: that with him in our podcast today as well.
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: All right, so that is good for America dot Org. Bob,

• 19:50
  Speaker 7: you as well.
• 19:50
  Speaker 16: Joe, thank you, my friend. Good to be with him.
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: So text message as soon as Bob said free market. So, Joe,
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: how is this free market working for you? Writes Barry
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: in Connecticutic Barry, how many times do I have to
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: say this? This isn't a free market economy right now? Oh,
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: where's the email?
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: Over here? About half hour forty five minutes ago, I
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: made a comment just it was an off hand comment
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: about the coincidence of JFK's assassination bringing us the first
• 20:31
  Speaker 7: Marxist president of the United States, Lyndon Johnson. And the
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: Great Society really is look at all the things that
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: the Great Society quote promises, and that was Marxism. It's
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: a Marxist conceit that was built in an American way
• 20:54
  Speaker 7: to allow the prosperous to continue to you share in
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: the wealth with the citizens just enough to create the
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: tax revenue just necessary to pay the bills. And here
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: is the problem, Barry, is that in nineteen sixty four,
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: when we begin this trek down the road to the
• 21:21
  Speaker 7: Great Society, one of the very first things that starts
• 21:25
  Speaker 7: happening is we start burning through cash.
• 21:30
  Speaker 8: Federal government cannot tax fast enough.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: To pay for.
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: The programs that everyone was signing up for because there
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: was real poverty issues. There were, I mean, it's not
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: a false flag. There were poverty issues. And the Marxists
• 21:46
  Speaker 7: were marching because that's what they do when there's poverty.
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: It's like spotted lantern flies to your grapevine. And I'll
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: finish to this point. We come back from the news, Barry,
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: but this is free market.

• 22:13
  Speaker 17: that one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to

  Speaker 7: Who is behind the door? Now, Now we're getting somewhere
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: Southern Poverty Law Center defrauding their contributors. Those are just
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: the contributors that we can see. What about the ones
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: that came through the great money laundering operation of the
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: American Left. Act Blue Congress is again saber rattling on
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: bringing the head of Act Blue in. Hey, guys, that's great,
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: all past the Save America Act, just saying, I mean
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: all these hearings are you know, really Kabooki theater. At
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: some point is ACT and most of us have grown
• 29:16
  Speaker 7: weary of it. It's not having the effect of like, oh,
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: we're finally holding Act Yeah, okay. Act Blue will testify
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: under oath to Congress. And if their CEO is found
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: to have lied under oath to Congress, what's going to
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: happen to her? She'll become more popular with the American left. Oh,
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: she stood up to MAGA. You're actually helping Act Blue
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: in a way, if you don't do it right, you
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: need to be very careful how you do this because
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: Act Blue, in their role as a money laundering scheme,
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: the scheme that gives George Sorows the ability to give
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: way more than any federal campaign would be limited.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: And then it goes.
• 30:06
  Speaker 8: Through Act Blue and it gets laundered.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: It's no more.
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: Dirty money, finsta. How many times have I said, don't
• 30:15
  Speaker 8: play with the dirty money, send it through Act Blue.
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: So we're finally getting somewhere, and this shadow economy is
• 30:26
  Speaker 8: exactly what Barry in Connecticut was talking about, or set
• 30:29
  Speaker 8: me up. I don't know if Barry really was.
• 30:31
  Speaker 7: Barry has been gasoled into believing where we're living right
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: now is a free market capitalist system. I want to
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: start out by saying, before somebody calls and says, you're going.
• 30:44
  Speaker 8: To tell me that under capitalism, nobody ever fails.
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: No, that's Marxism. Marxism will tell you that nobody ever
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: fails because we throw the ones who fail into prison
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: and you never see them again. So it's easy to
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: make the case capitalism is absolutely imperative. In capitalism that
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: people fail. A prosperous capitalist system more often than not,
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: you don't fail. And one of the great things about
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: a capitalist system, and it's also one of its great challenges,
• 31:25
  Speaker 7: is that once you've found that place where you don't fail,
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: you really don't have to go back to the drawing board.
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: So a lot of people have businesses that they've had
• 31:35
  Speaker 7: for a very long time, and after an amount of
• 31:39
  Speaker 7: time they get to know elected officials and there's a
• 31:45
  Speaker 7: moment or two where they say, hey, it'd be nice
• 31:47
  Speaker 7: if you could make a law that keeps so and
• 31:50
  Speaker 7: so from opening up a business like mine down the street.
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: The idea that failure is an imperative part of all things,
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: and to deny it, to retard it is how we
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: wind up in an economic straight like we are. And
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: so we go back to the original Marxist president, Lyndon Johnson,
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: and he comes in and starts his whole Great Society
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: Marxist build up, and everyone says, that's great, because we're
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: poor and bread is costing too much. But your dollar
• 32:47
  Speaker 7: bought ten times as much stuff then as it does now.
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: But one of the things that happened very quickly in
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: the Great Society is we started learning through the treasury
• 33:02
  Speaker 7: because so many people needed so much they were signing
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: up for these great society programs that by the time
• 33:23
  Speaker 7: the Nixon administration comes along, we have to remove ourselves
• 33:28
  Speaker 7: from the gold standard because the gold standard was going
• 33:31
  Speaker 7: to restrict how much money we could give away in
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: free money to those in need, and nobody wanted that.
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: Everyone was scared of the retribution that was going to
• 33:42
  Speaker 7: come from that. So we started kicking the can down
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: the road. And the first place to kick the can
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: down the road was getting us off the gold standard
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: so we could print more money than we actually had money.
• 33:56
  Speaker 8: What.
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: Yes, we were all of a sudden going to create
• 33:59
  Speaker 7: a scenario where we could print more money than we actually
• 34:02
  Speaker 7: had because we didn't actually have a piece of gold.
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: For every gold certificate in the country, we had spent it,
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: we had invested it in places we had gold certificates,
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: but we didn't have.
• 34:19
  Speaker 18: The physical gold.
• 34:22
  Speaker 7: So they had to come up with some brilliant economic
• 34:27
  Speaker 7: major who had gone to work at the Federal Reserve said,
• 34:30
  Speaker 7: how about full faith and credit or the American government?
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: And keeping in mind this is the early seventies, how
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: much faith and credit did people have in the US
• 34:41
  Speaker 7: government at that point? But that's what we were going
• 34:44
  Speaker 7: to pay our bills on we were going to pay
• 34:46
  Speaker 7: our bills on the back of an IOU. That says
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: because I said I can. So that begins this path
• 35:00
  Speaker 7: towards the unending printing of money and the devaluation of
• 35:07
  Speaker 7: the dollar. Because we've promised to send you some dollars,
• 35:10
  Speaker 7: we haven't promised how much that's going to buy. And
• 35:14
  Speaker 7: then now you know, we've got to do some things
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: to make sure that maybe you have a job, maybe
• 35:20
  Speaker 7: maybe you know you have some vocation that we can
• 35:23
  Speaker 7: send you. We want to make you feel prosperous even
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: though you're not, so we're going to give you things.
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: Right now, the poorest American living in public housing has
• 35:40
  Speaker 7: more consumer products than the poorest people anywhere else.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: On the planet.
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: We're a global one percenter, and it has peril because
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: the collapse is coming, the one that they put off
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: when they took us off the gold standard, and then
• 36:07
  Speaker 7: by not being conservative, have allowed to grow and grow
• 36:11
  Speaker 7: and grow until it's going to break. And when it breaks,
• 36:22
  Speaker 7: it's going to be so much worse than if we
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: had just reformed it in nineteen seventy four. Why, because
• 36:29
  Speaker 7: that's predictably what happens when you kick something down the road.
• 36:35
  Speaker 7: Emails Ray writes in under the title Retribution, when Democrats
• 36:42
  Speaker 7: open the door, Republicans notice and then follow them through it.
• 36:50
  Speaker 7: You know why did was I mentioned briefly? George Thomas
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: Jefferson started the Democratic Republican Party in a response to
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: this very build up. The creation of federal reserve systems,
• 37:05
  Speaker 7: the creation of the Federal Reserve Bank, and all of
• 37:08
  Speaker 7: that was Jefferson and James Madison doing it. The Republicans
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: much simpler. They were against the party that supported slavery
• 37:24
  Speaker 7: where they were. But that is how we get here
• 37:35
  Speaker 7: away from capitalism. Yes, we call it that because they
• 37:40

  Speaker 7: two one seven. Want to finish up on this. So
• 44:56
  Speaker 7: so the Foundation for Economic Education, we're talking about the
• 45:00
  Speaker 7: debasement of the economy. Wonderful book. It's maybe if it's
• 45:05
  Speaker 7: one hundred pages, it's a lot. Lawrence read pended for
• 45:14
  Speaker 7: the Foundation for Economic Education, and if you read it,
• 45:27
  Speaker 7: it's chilling. And it was written ten years ago because
• 45:38
  Speaker 7: each successive emperor, though they didn't necessarily need it, they
• 45:46
  Speaker 7: coveted the adulation of the population, so they would do
• 45:50
  Speaker 7: more things for the Roman citizens. They would give more
• 45:55
  Speaker 7: benefits to being a Roman citizen, and they would go
• 46:02
  Speaker 7: on conquests, not necessarily for new lands anymore, but for
• 46:06
  Speaker 7: new slaves that could serve the Roman citizens, because it
• 46:11
  Speaker 7: was becoming too expensive to pay somebody to work for you.
• 46:19
  Speaker 7: And besides, you were a Roman citizen, why should you
• 46:21
  Speaker 7: have to pay somebody to work for you? And this
• 46:26
  Speaker 7: went on for four hundred years because the con game
• 46:31
  Speaker 7: was well, because Rome had been so prosperous in its
• 46:36
  Speaker 7: conquests prior, and it dominated the Mediterranean. This was the
• 46:42
  Speaker 7: seat of humanity.
• 46:43
  Speaker 8: At the time.
• 46:48
  Speaker 7: I mean they you know, once Anthony and Cleopatra did
• 46:52
  Speaker 7: their thing, they even had Egypt. So the Roman Empire
• 46:58
  Speaker 7: went everywhere, and yet the economic problems were growing every
• 47:07
  Speaker 7: time because the trappings were all still there. To the
• 47:11
  Speaker 7: average Roman citizen tuning into their favorite you know, town
• 47:16
  Speaker 7: crier in the morning to hear what was going on.
• 47:20
  Speaker 7: Wasn't hearing the news of some you know, business collapsing
• 47:26
  Speaker 7: or some city on the verge of insolvency, because that
• 47:33
  Speaker 7: wasn't news. News was the chickens that were going to
• 47:39
  Speaker 7: get sold at the market, along with the pigs and
• 47:43
  Speaker 7: the candies or whatever else. So the Roman citizens got
• 47:50
  Speaker 7: lost in the trappings of being a Roman citizen rather
• 47:54
  Speaker 7: than thinking about the things that had to go on
• 47:58
  Speaker 7: in order for Rome to even exist, and that came
• 48:03
  Speaker 7: with a cost, and little by little, the Roman coins,
• 48:07
  Speaker 7: unlike American coins, were based on precious metals, and so
• 48:16
  Speaker 7: the you know, they would mint these coins out of
• 48:18
  Speaker 7: less and less gold. As the coins became less and
• 48:21
  Speaker 7: less valuable, they would still be a what would it
• 48:27
  Speaker 7: be A No, I'm not saying that on the air. No,
• 48:32
  Speaker 7: that's and besides, I think that's France anyway that has those.
• 48:36
  Speaker 7: But let's just say it was a Roman dollar. So
• 48:41
  Speaker 7: they would take their dollars and spend them on things
• 48:45
  Speaker 7: rather than save them, because you actually made out better
• 48:50
  Speaker 7: if you shopped in the morning. Before you know, the
• 48:53
  Speaker 7: fascists came in at dinner time. So Read's book chronicles
• 49:03
  Speaker 7: how each successive cesarean section of the society minced their
• 49:09
  Speaker 7: coins out of less and less actual precious metal, until
• 49:14
  Speaker 7: at the end of the last Caesar, the country is
• 49:21
  Speaker 7: nearly bankrupt. The dollars the gold coins of the realm
• 49:27
  Speaker 7: are barely recognizable from each other. And so they went
• 49:36
  Speaker 7: and dude, what we're doing right now? Pardon me? So
• 49:44
  Speaker 7: we didn't even invent this idea, We're just the latest
• 49:50
  Speaker 7: live action role played. The depiction of this demise of
• 49:54
  Speaker 7: a Western civilization, or at least the destitution of an
• 50:00
  Speaker 7: American I'm sorry. Roman economy can happen, and it doesn't
• 50:13
  Speaker 7: happen overnight, but it happens. We love to think of
• 50:17
  Speaker 7: ourselves as having invented this stuff. Sorry, pal, So just
• 50:31
  Speaker 7: spend a little time thinking about the value, because when
• 50:35
  Speaker 7: the crash comes, as it did with Rome, the entirety
• 50:40
  Speaker 7: of the world is going to come crashing down. Now,
• 50:43
  Speaker 7: Constantine realized what was happening as Rome was falling, got
• 50:54
  Speaker 7: right with these guys going around talking about Jesus, and
• 51:01
  Speaker 7: therefore decided to have this big merger of the Roman
• 51:08
  Speaker 7: Empire and the Christian faith. But it all begins with
• 51:13
  Speaker 7: this live action role playing of an economy that wasn't
• 51:20
  Speaker 7: healthy at all. But the emperor felt insistent that the
• 51:26
  Speaker 7: people believe it to be prosperous that they get more
• 51:30
  Speaker 7: money now than they did last year for doing the
• 51:33
  Speaker 7: same job. So there are plenty of historical landmarks to this.
• 51:45
  Speaker 7: And here Mike writes in Joe, did you call Lyndon
• 51:52
  Speaker 7: Johnson our first Marxis president? Yes, I did, and I
• 51:57
  Speaker 7: think every Democrat since then has been an There have
• 52:00
  Speaker 7: been several Republicans, so we must wrap up our festivities here,
• 52:13
  Speaker 7: get ready for Saturday morning. Make sure we can chronicle
• 52:18
