- 0:41Speaker 4: how inevitable my defeat is.
- 0:44Speaker 2: On this Tennesday morning, We're gonna get our first things
- 0:47Speaker 2: coming up in a moment. But Joel was hanging on
- 0:49Speaker 2: the line with us, and I was monologuing, as the
- 0:53Speaker 2: man said, and so Joel, what.
- 0:57Speaker 5: There's two things I want to say. And I just
- 1:01Speaker 5: wanted to say this earlier this morning when I was
- 1:03Speaker 5: driving up. I'm doing some pre job stuff. Anyway, I
- 1:06Speaker 5: don't want to get I don't want to go a
- 1:07Speaker 5: dd and sidetrack here. But you were talking about Greenland,
- 1:11Speaker 5: and I hope.
- 1:13Speaker 2: It gets acquired.
- 1:15Speaker 5: But I just wanted to say this, you know, and
- 1:18Speaker 5: and and the shining. They said red room, you know,
- 1:20Speaker 5: red room, and we know it's murdered backwards. I don't
- 1:22Speaker 5: want to, you know, but that's what it's.
- 1:24Speaker 2: But you can say, you can say Greenland.
- 1:26Speaker 5: This their president Greenland.
- 1:33Speaker 2: It is. It is funny watching how mischaracterized this whole
- 1:37Speaker 2: story is. But that's what Donald Trump does to these
- 1:41Speaker 2: folks there. Well, yeah, by the way, and Ie, you
- 1:43Speaker 2: are doing some pre job stuff. I like to hear that.
- 1:46Speaker 2: And someday you'll have to tell me more about it,
- 1:48Speaker 2: not jingxing. Uh there? What was the other thing you
- 1:50Speaker 2: wanted to say?
- 1:52Speaker 5: Oh, Well, what I've heard about electronics when it goes
- 1:55Speaker 5: for cars is by the time you buy your car,
- 1:58Speaker 5: you know, within your car, that's already five years behind
- 2:01Speaker 5: because of their software programming on it.
- 2:04Speaker 2: Yeah, there's there's a degree of that, but you know,
- 2:08Speaker 2: I guess, I guess. It was almost twelve years ago
- 2:10Speaker 2: the first time I came to a consumer electronics show
- 2:13Speaker 2: and it was the first time I heard somebody refer
- 2:16Speaker 2: to a car as anything but a car. And the
- 2:19Speaker 2: guy said, you have to stop thinking about a car
- 2:23Speaker 2: is a car. A car is a an entertainment system
- 2:26Speaker 2: and a computer system with wheels and an engine, and
- 2:30Speaker 2: and I thought that was kind of weird, you know,
- 2:33Speaker 2: it was kind of a weird way to depict it.
- 2:36Speaker 2: But now I'm looking at what they're doing in this
- 2:39Speaker 2: this Honda that I saw the other day during the previews.
- 2:43Speaker 2: That's basically a sitting room on wheels. It's it's wild
- 2:48Speaker 2: what they're doing now to transportation and the and the
- 2:52Speaker 2: head of Honda was here saying, well, you know, what
- 2:55Speaker 2: we're really looking at is is how you use the
- 2:59Speaker 2: hours that you're traveling. And uh, and that's how it is.
- 3:03Speaker 2: It's not about the traveling anymore. It's what are you
- 3:06Speaker 2: doing during the hours that you're traveling.
- 3:12Speaker 5: He faded off on me.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Well, that's that's what I do when I'm traveling. I
- 3:16Speaker 2: fade off. I may have actually faded off. I think
- 3:19Speaker 2: I was talking, but I may not have anyway, Joel.
- 3:22Speaker 5: Anyway, when do you get back to Virginia?
- 3:26Speaker 6: Uh?
- 3:27Speaker 2: Sometime early Friday morning because we have to do red
- 3:31Speaker 2: eyes to get out of here, you know, without paying
- 3:34Speaker 2: you know, the full freight. Anyway, Good congrats on whatever
- 3:39Speaker 2: the giant situation is. That's good news and we'll talk
- 3:42Speaker 2: to you again very soon.
- 3:43Speaker 5: Hey, Joe, you didn't say that right, red Eye.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Red Eye? Good at that, Joel.
- 3:53Speaker 7: Uh.
- 3:54Speaker 2: There, of course, special coverage of the Consumer Electronics Show
- 3:59Speaker 2: brought to you by our friends at McCrory Animal Clinic.
- 4:03Speaker 2: Reminding you that when the technology just seems to have
- 4:06Speaker 2: gotten too far out of hand, kind of like what
- 4:09Speaker 2: Joel was saying there, you need to bring shelter pet home,
- 4:13Speaker 2: find the SPCA or at the you mean society near you,
- 4:16Speaker 2: and remind yourself what's real in this world. Our first
- 4:20Speaker 2: things this morning Greenland, Greenland? Who's going for Greenland? Because
- 4:26Speaker 2: the press asks questions and the president is willing to
- 4:30Speaker 2: answer them, they become the headline makers asking the President
- 4:34Speaker 2: if he would use military force to take over Greenland,
- 4:37Speaker 2: and he said, certainly, it's within my power. Then Stephen
- 4:41Speaker 2: miller back walked it and said he didn't think it
- 4:43Speaker 2: would be necessary. But the reality is. Secretary of State
- 4:47Speaker 2: Marco Rubio told lawmakers in a secret meeting on Monday
- 4:52Speaker 2: in the Skiff that we have offered to buy Greenland
- 4:57Speaker 2: from Denmark, and just a few hours ago, the Danish
- 5:02Speaker 2: president has asked Marco Rubio to set up a meeting
- 5:05Speaker 2: with the president. Stay tuned. President Donald Trump said Venezuela

- 8:04Speaker 13: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 13: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi, im,
- 8:13Speaker 13: doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized
- 8:19Speaker 13: curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program.
- 8:24Speaker 13: It makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation
- 8:28Speaker 13: is a key component to our overall health. The Mayo
- 8:32Speaker 13: Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has
- 8:37Speaker 13: antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent cancer
- 8:43Speaker 13: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
- 8:46Speaker 13: many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy
- 8:51Speaker 13: cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we help

- 9:58Speaker 15: Hirybody, I'm Jack. It's always a boy. Growing up on
- 10:01Speaker 15: a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm
- 10:04Speaker 15: not only in awe of their beauty and kindness, but
- 10:06Speaker 15: also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds
- 10:09Speaker 15: who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes who
- 10:13Speaker 15: work hard to provide for their young, or penguins who
- 10:15Speaker 15: travel up to five hundred miles to secure food for
- 10:18Speaker 15: their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows them
- 10:21Speaker 15: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
- 10:24Speaker 15: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
- 10:26Speaker 15: the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets at home,
- 10:30Speaker 15: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life
- 10:33Speaker 15: saving work every day.
- 10:34Speaker 2: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
- 10:36Speaker 15: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
- 10:39Speaker 15: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
- 10:42Speaker 15: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
- 10:44Speaker 15: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
- 10:47Speaker 15: in need. So please join me an American Humane and
- 10:50Speaker 15: supporting our heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals

- 13:49Speaker 2: You com abidities, the young and I don't know if
- 13:55Speaker 2: you or anyone you know as a member of a
- 13:57Speaker 2: a r P, but if you're wonder where your membership
- 14:01Speaker 2: does money goes, it apparently has gone to the Consumer
- 14:07Speaker 2: Technology Association that's the parent company of the Consumer Electronics Show.
- 14:12Speaker 2: Holy Cow. By the way, our special coverage Consumer Electronics
- 14:16Speaker 2: Show twenty twenty six brought to you by mccrurry Animal Clinic,
- 14:20Speaker 2: putting what's real back in your life. And believe me,
- 14:23Speaker 2: there's at least three companies with animatronic dogs. Here. Get
- 14:29Speaker 2: a shelter pet. They're much more lifelike. Trust me on this.
- 14:34Speaker 2: We went over as everyone's talking about this one. It's
- 14:38Speaker 2: like a lab puppy. It's supposed to equate to. And
- 14:44Speaker 2: the fellow who designed it told me, Joe, this is
- 14:48Speaker 2: for people who are on the spectrum. People have Alzheimer's,
- 14:54Speaker 2: a lot of you know, somebody who wants a companion
- 14:58Speaker 2: can have a companion. It would benefit from a companion,
- 15:02Speaker 2: but we're not quite sure would take care of a
- 15:05Speaker 2: companion the way they needed that, you know, they would
- 15:08Speaker 2: be needed to. So you get this robotic one. To me,
- 15:12Speaker 2: it looks like the same dog that we bought for
- 15:15Speaker 2: my son thirty years ago when he was two. So.
- 15:21Speaker 2: But but the the whole floor of what they call
- 15:25Speaker 2: the Longevity Wing here at the Consumer Electronics Show, it's
- 15:28Speaker 2: it's the BioHealth, it's the health tech stuff is sponsored
- 15:33Speaker 2: by AARP. It dominates the floor. Everything is about it,
- 15:39Speaker 2: you know. And I remember the Consumer Electronics Show when
- 15:42Speaker 2: they were not talking to AARP members and somebody said,
- 15:48Speaker 2: there's a marketplace here. It's it's not just web TV anymore.
- 15:54Speaker 2: They're so one of the I was telling you about this,
- 15:57Speaker 2: I'm gonna play you a little bit of it. Lindsay
- 15:59Speaker 2: Brennan and works with Neurologics Corporation. UH sat down with
- 16:06Speaker 2: me and showed me this health check mirror is a
- 16:09Speaker 2: few different things as a scale that will do do
- 16:15Speaker 2: a health check up for you as well. But she
- 16:18Speaker 2: she gave me a little bit of this and we're
- 16:19Speaker 2: going to post it as a podcast at Daily Signal
- 16:22Speaker 2: dot com as well, because this is fascinating as mirror
- 16:27Speaker 2: mirror kind of thing. It looks like a giant iPad,
- 16:30Speaker 2: but it's it's just a camera and you look at
- 16:34Speaker 2: it the same way you would look at a mirror.
- 16:36Speaker 2: Do we have the clip of our visit with her.
- 16:41Speaker 19: So you see a really so exactly are I just
- 16:51Speaker 19: turn out to a friends to mush and s talking
- 16:54Speaker 19: right now?
- 16:55Speaker 2: Seems light to patting the fish.
- 16:59Speaker 19: It's a similar technology as the watches and the rings,
- 17:02Speaker 19: except instead of being right beside your your fuse, we're
- 17:05Speaker 19: doing things remotely from a distance using light. So our
- 17:07Speaker 19: PPG is the technology. So three seconds that's all it
- 17:11Speaker 19: takes and that's crazy. You know what, you can't move
- 17:17Speaker 19: so you know you couldn't do stuff in the mornings. Yeah, yeah,
- 17:24Speaker 19: that's okay, we'll see Yeah, okay, perfect, here we go. Yeah,
- 17:29Speaker 19: soles your results, so let you talk here.
- 17:32Speaker 20: This is want jumping in next.
- 17:34Speaker 19: So when you're seeing heres for the next twenty years.
- 17:37Speaker 11: You know, what is your republic?
- 17:38Speaker 19: Like how wealthy are you? How are things going? And
- 17:41Speaker 19: then this is the summary of these in the games
- 17:43Speaker 19: down here. So let's just start looking into it and
- 17:46Speaker 19: let's see see what's happening wrong.
- 17:50Speaker 12: So this is our age.
- 17:51Speaker 11: So it's telling you, it's.
- 17:53Speaker 4: Telling you your facial scamage is.
- 17:57Speaker 19: Inside physiologically quite well.
- 18:00Speaker 2: So, so what it's saying is is but my skin
- 18:03Speaker 2: makes me look like I'm about ten years older than
- 18:05Speaker 2: I actually am. But the way my skin, you know,
- 18:09Speaker 2: the blood flow and then everything is much younger, like
- 18:11Speaker 2: that of a fifty year old.
- 18:15Speaker 19: Yeah, you hearts yellow and that's something if I.
- 18:24Speaker 4: Want to check it out.
- 18:27Speaker 2: And everything everything I had was in the green, by
- 18:29Speaker 2: the way, all the markers.
- 18:31Speaker 21: That's great.
- 18:32Speaker 4: Great, that one is mass Oh yeah, yeah, you know
- 18:40Speaker 4: something that I kind of park mystery.
- 18:45Speaker 2: Strange really so that's actually the worship.
- 18:51Speaker 19: Yeah, so yeah, it's not that. If you want your.
- 18:57Speaker 8: Bloods your money, I like that one.
- 18:58Speaker 2: I like that one too. To no irregular heartbeats and actually,
- 19:05Speaker 2: you know, the upside is several people were surprised I
- 19:07Speaker 2: had a heart there, but my pulse rate, my oxidation level,
- 19:13Speaker 2: all of this stuff that this scan does. So I
- 19:16Speaker 2: asked the girl Lindsey, I said, so this is just
- 19:20Speaker 2: for demonstration purposes because I had all these green lights,
- 19:24Speaker 2: and she said, oh no, the person was just here
- 19:26Speaker 2: before you. It was like all red and they left
- 19:29Speaker 2: looking really ashen about this. That reminds me of I forget.
- 19:37Speaker 2: It's the first story that introduces a character named Lazarus
- 19:42Speaker 2: Long into the pantheon of science fiction as a heinlend
- 19:46Speaker 2: book written in his It was one of the magazine
- 19:51Speaker 2: columns he wrote. But this fella had technology that if
- 19:55Speaker 2: you sat in it, he could look into a screen
- 19:57Speaker 2: and see how long your life was. And and when he
- 20:01Speaker 2: met Lazarus Long, he was just like, well, I don't
- 20:04Speaker 2: see an end of your life at all. You could
- 20:06Speaker 2: he could actually see like a tunnel and how long
- 20:09Speaker 2: your life was going to be. And it almost kind
- 20:12Speaker 2: of felt like that as I looked at this tech.
- 20:15Speaker 2: It's called neurologics, but it gives you all the stuff.
- 20:18Speaker 2: And I was in the middle of running around this
- 20:21Speaker 2: place and it said my stress level was good. At
- 20:26Speaker 2: does stress level? It does blood oxid oxidization, no blood oxygenation,
- 20:34Speaker 2: that's right, thank you. Oxidization that's me rusting on the
- 20:38Speaker 2: inside out. But it's really interesting and there's several different
- 20:42Speaker 2: types of kit here that are home diagnostics. And I
- 20:46Speaker 2: asked Lindsay later in the interview about the privacy concerns
- 20:52Speaker 2: of these things. I said, so, what is this? Yeah,
- 20:55Speaker 2: you know, does this go out on the web? Is
- 20:58Speaker 2: this something that the hackers and the slime and Saint
- 21:01Speaker 2: Petersburg rush Because she goes, no, you didn't even put
- 21:03Speaker 2: your name in. You looked at the mirror, it didn't
- 21:07Speaker 2: take your name down. I said, yeah, come on, my face,
- 21:10Speaker 2: it's all over the internet. And she looked at me like, really,
- 21:14Speaker 2: who are you? Why would you say that? But I mean,
- 21:17Speaker 2: we have facial recognition on my smartphone has facial recognition
- 21:21Speaker 2: and all of that, so I believe you could get
- 21:23Speaker 2: somebody's face downloaded on it. But if you're comfortable with
- 21:28Speaker 2: securing it and making sure it's isolated from the Internet
- 21:31Speaker 2: and everything, this fascinating stuff. And she said it wasn't
- 21:35Speaker 2: connected to the Internet at all. It was all working
- 21:38Speaker 2: on an internal software. It wasn't you know, pulling this
- 21:43Speaker 2: from you know, the web or web md or anything else.
- 21:47Speaker 2: This was all just a light. Bright light shines on

- 22:01Speaker 22: Let's see if something costs less but people are happier
- 22:05Speaker 22: with it, that sounds like something to look into, and
- 22:07Speaker 22: that is meta share. Maybe you've heard switching to metas
- 22:10Speaker 22: share to pay for healthcare can save many families up
- 22:13Speaker 22: to five hundred bucks a month, and that is huge.
- 22:15Speaker 22: But it's also true that people are way more satisfied
- 22:18Speaker 22: after making the switch too. The member's satisfaction rate for
- 22:21Speaker 22: meta share is double that of the typical health insurance plan.
- 22:25Speaker 1: Double.
- 22:25Speaker 22: Meta share works too. It's been around for thirty years.
- 22:28Speaker 22: Members have shared more than five billion dollars of each

- 24:12Speaker 13: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our

- 24:22Speaker 13: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or

- 24:31Speaker 13: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 13: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:42Speaker 13: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 24:45Speaker 13: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

- 28:12Speaker 1: Amazed your friends. Here in First Thing Today by Joe Thomas, This.
- 28:16Speaker 2: TEDSDA morning covering this de Butte County sheriff just issue statement,
- 28:23Speaker 2: uh say, they were called to the home of Congressman
- 28:27Speaker 2: Doug la MafA Malfa last night about six fifty and
- 28:37Speaker 2: he was in in a medical emergency. Now people are
- 28:40Speaker 2: saying that it was an aneurysm, and maybe it's playing
- 28:45Speaker 2: out that way. As the Sheriff's office statement on the
- 28:52Speaker 2: death of Congressman Lomalfa. A couple of folks texting in saying, Joe,
- 28:58Speaker 2: what do you expect Gavin Newsom to do with this? Well,
- 29:02Speaker 2: as I and I'm not a lawyer, and I've had
- 29:06Speaker 2: enough of them around, but as I read California Code
- 29:10Speaker 2: regarding the death of a Congressman or the vacancy of
- 29:13Speaker 2: a Congressional seat, it appears this is California Code twenty
- 29:26Speaker 2: twenty one, California Code, by the way, and you tell
- 29:30Speaker 2: me if Gavin Newsom has this kind of what do
- 29:33Speaker 2: they like to call it? Flexibility you expect him to
- 29:38Speaker 2: take it or not. When a vacancy occurs in the
- 29:42Speaker 2: office of Representative to Congress or in either house of
- 29:46Speaker 2: the Legislature, the governor shall have, within fourteen calendar days
- 29:50Speaker 2: after the occurrence of the vacancy, issue or writ of
- 29:54Speaker 2: election to fill the vacancy, provided that when such a
- 29:57Speaker 2: vacancy occurs in a congressional office after the close of
- 30:01Speaker 2: the nomination period in the final year of the term
- 30:05Speaker 2: of office, a special election may be held at the
- 30:08Speaker 2: governor's discretion, And provided further that when a vacancy occurs
- 30:13Speaker 2: in a legislative office after the close of the nomination
- 30:16Speaker 2: period in the final year of term of office, no
- 30:20Speaker 2: special election shall be held. So it seems to be
- 30:23Speaker 2: it sounds like it's ambiguous because it is the last year,
- 30:28Speaker 2: but it's January. Its there haven't been any nomination processes
- 30:33Speaker 2: yet to this, so it seems like there's some wiggle room.
- 30:40Speaker 2: And certainly if there are any governors in the United
- 30:44Speaker 2: States of America that would take the opportunity to appoint
- 30:47Speaker 2: a Democrat to represent that seat, probably under the idea of, oh,
- 30:52Speaker 2: we're going to redistrict to get anyway, it's going to
- 30:54Speaker 2: be a Democrat seat when we're done redistricting the whole thing.
- 30:59Speaker 2: It would be gabbing newsome. Anyway, Good morning, you're on
- 31:01Speaker 2: the air with Joe. First thing this morning. Who's this?
- 31:05Speaker 11: Hey, Joe is Clark.
- 31:06Speaker 2: Good morning Clark. How are you, sir? I'm good.
- 31:10Speaker 11: We were just having a tremendous debate about Jack and
- 31:13Speaker 11: the Beanstalk. Now I get to talk to you.
- 31:16Speaker 2: I'm curious about what in the world is debatable in
- 31:20Speaker 2: Jack and the Beanstalk, but that probably will take us
- 31:24Speaker 2: down a rabbit.
- 31:25Speaker 11: For the beans, right, And then he wakes up in
- 31:27Speaker 11: the morning, there's a beanstalk. He climbs up the beanstalk,
- 31:32Speaker 11: basically breaking and entering, burglarizes, and then murders the giant.
- 31:40Speaker 11: It's all okay because he was a giant. I just
- 31:42Speaker 11: I don't know what kind of message is that to
- 31:44Speaker 11: send the little kids.
- 31:46Speaker 2: Well, and of course it's okay. It's okay because he
- 31:50Speaker 2: got ripped off by a a salesperson who sold the
- 31:55Speaker 2: beans for his money and telling him that they were
- 32:00Speaker 2: magic beans, which they did turn out to be magic beans.
- 32:03Speaker 11: So they were magic and you know, I'm thinking, like,
- 32:06Speaker 11: if it was a magic beanstalk, Jack and his mom
- 32:09Speaker 11: could have sold beans that of town and made money
- 32:11Speaker 11: off of that, not murdered his dignt. But anyway, I
- 32:16Speaker 11: don't know. So, you know, if the Donald really really
- 32:22Speaker 11: wanted to trigger some left this show he said we
- 32:26Speaker 11: were gonna buy Greenland with the proceeds from the Venezuelan.
- 32:31Speaker 2: Oil, I don't necessarily don't think he's thinking that. He might.
- 32:37Speaker 11: Well, I mean, it's fungible, so there you go. Oh.
- 32:41Speaker 11: I did see an article where Russia has got a
- 32:46Speaker 11: submarine escort for the tanker it's got headed towards Venezuela.
- 32:51Speaker 11: That could get real interesting.
- 32:53Speaker 2: Well yeah, and that's that's, you know, gonna happen. But
- 32:56Speaker 2: that's that's been the whole premise of this, is the
- 32:59Speaker 2: drug boats coming out of Venezuela, but also the oil
- 33:03Speaker 2: that was sanctioned to not be sent to Russia being
- 33:06Speaker 2: sent to Russia. Anyway, that'll get interesting.
- 33:11Speaker 11: And then I did see a neat article this morning
- 33:15Speaker 11: what happens to Cuba now that they no longer have
- 33:20Speaker 11: the Venezuelan sugar Daddy. You know, they're pretty well done.
- 33:27Speaker 11: So I don't know, perhaps the Donroe doctrine here?
- 33:34Speaker 2: Is that what we're calling it now, the Donroe doctrine?
- 33:38Speaker 2: Oh that sounds good to me.
- 33:42Speaker 11: So maybe the donald has removed a Cuban thorn from
- 33:48Speaker 11: our sode. I know that the Cubans that the expatriots here,
- 33:54Speaker 11: oh they'll be excited about that.
- 33:56Speaker 2: Is Cuba even really a thorn? I mean when the
- 33:59Speaker 2: Soviet Union was using them as a client state for surveillance,
- 34:04Speaker 2: But you know what's who's who's using Cuba now? They're
- 34:09Speaker 2: not that big a.
- 34:10Speaker 11: Threat right now, but they are there, and they're for
- 34:12Speaker 11: sale at any time, right.
- 34:14Speaker 2: So yeah, I seem okay.
- 34:18Speaker 11: And then the last thing, now, Joe Biden put a
- 34:24Speaker 11: twenty five million dollars bounty on anybody that brought Mamduro here.
- 34:32Speaker 11: He have to write a check to the Donalds.
- 34:35Speaker 2: I don't know if the president does it, if the
- 34:38Speaker 2: President orders it, I don't know if that attaches or not.
- 34:42Speaker 2: But you know, knowing how the big guy writes his contracts,
- 34:45Speaker 2: we probably have to give money to him and to Hunter.
- 34:50Speaker 11: I will I'd be sending a collectionation around to wherever
- 34:54Speaker 11: Zoe's driven on himself.
- 34:56Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's how it works, is Joe and they
- 34:59Speaker 2: could is that it's on the check. Well, I think
- 35:03Speaker 2: the auto pen was probably what up the bounty on
- 35:07Speaker 2: Meduro's had anyway. But remember, you know, Joe Biden wrote
- 35:11Speaker 2: into most of his contracts that you know, whatever Joe
- 35:15Speaker 2: Biden paid you, you had to kick back to Joe
- 35:18Speaker 2: and and the rest of the gang. That's true.
- 35:23Speaker 11: So yeah, the bad thing is is the Hunter paintings
- 35:25Speaker 11: ain't got no value now, so he couldn't pay him off.
- 35:28Speaker 2: And Hunter paintings he could have tried. I mean, you know,
- 35:32Speaker 2: paintings are like Chinese currency. It's worth what you know,
- 35:35Speaker 2: the government says it is.
- 35:39Speaker 11: You know, have you ever read about paper money and
- 35:42Speaker 11: how it started Joe years ago?
- 35:45Speaker 2: I can't say I can quote it from memory. I
- 35:48Speaker 2: have one of those weird memories like textbooks I can't
- 35:51Speaker 2: necessarily quote from. But I recall, you know, discussing how
- 35:56Speaker 2: you know the currency developed law and why it was.
- 36:01Speaker 2: It was the Bank of England, wasn't it?
- 36:03Speaker 11: Oh it was China was the original paper currency.
- 36:08Speaker 2: Yes, And just writing something. I was reading something about
- 36:12Speaker 2: the British East India Company or something.
- 36:16Speaker 11: They were going to use script instead of gold.
- 36:19Speaker 2: Now they'd always done gold and uh, I don't remember
- 36:24Speaker 2: what dynasty it was.
- 36:26Speaker 11: Oh, they issued and create it. From now on, this
- 36:29Speaker 11: paper script is going to be money and right. You'd
- 36:35Speaker 11: think that like introducing this new concept of paper instead
- 36:41Speaker 11: of gold would be difficult, but really not that difficult
- 36:44Speaker 11: because anybody that said they wouldn't take the money, they
- 36:47Speaker 11: cut their head off, and uh, not much trouble.
- 36:52Speaker 2: Now, where is Steve Moore when you tell a story
- 36:54Speaker 2: like that, because that that'll get the supply side economics moving,
- 36:59Speaker 2: do it? Or we cut your head off? There you go,
- 37:03Speaker 2: there's a stimulus package.
- 37:05Speaker 11: Probably didn't have to cut that many heads off there is.
- 37:08Speaker 11: I'm good to fight for money. It's okay, I'll take it.
- 37:11Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's the kind of policy you only need
- 37:13Speaker 2: to enact once or twice just in case you have
- 37:16Speaker 2: a recalcitrant population. There you go.
- 37:21Speaker 11: Probably didn't have many recalcitrates going on back then.
- 37:24Speaker 2: Yeah, but but paper currency. And again, the whole full
- 37:29Speaker 2: faith and credit in the United States government started. And
- 37:33Speaker 2: it's all because we didn't have the intestinal fortitude to
- 37:37Speaker 2: pull out of the Great Society when when it was
- 37:41Speaker 2: apparent it was going to consume the whole country with us.
- 37:45Speaker 2: But there we were, and the Uniparty, the prehistoric version
- 37:50Speaker 2: of it was, was already working in lock locksteps, saying well,
- 37:55Speaker 2: we better do something about this, immediately, immediately, immediately. We can't,
- 38:00Speaker 2: we can't.

- 38:04Speaker 23: one hundred years of life saving service as the world's
- 38:07Speaker 23: leading nonprofit organization focused on heart and brain health. Heart
- 38:11Speaker 23: disease still kills more people in the United States each
- 38:14Speaker 23: year than all types of cancer combined, but more than
- 38:17Speaker 23: half of Americans are unaware of this fact, according to
- 38:20Speaker 23: a recent Harris Pole survey conducted for the American Heart Association. However,
- 38:25Speaker 23: the majority of heart disease is preventable. New research has
- 38:28Speaker 23: improved the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of heart disease and
- 38:32Speaker 23: its risk factors. Efforts led by the American Heart Association
- 38:35Speaker 23: have reduced deaths from heart disease by half over the
- 38:38Speaker 23: past century and helped people with heart disease live longer
- 38:41Speaker 23: and more productive lives while managing their condition and risk factors.

- 44:13Speaker 1: Amaze your friends here in First Thing Today by Joe
- 44:17Speaker 1: Thomas on.
- 44:18Speaker 2: This Tednesday morning, Thank you for letting us be of
- 44:21Speaker 2: service to let me celebrate the gifts God has given
- 44:25Speaker 2: you and your enthusiastic application of them. Like Ted so
- 44:36Speaker 2: Celi writes in to four three four eighty two four
- 44:39Speaker 2: two one seven heard it was Genghis Khan who invented
- 44:44Speaker 2: paper money then debased it. Uh through there, but I
- 44:47Speaker 2: mean in America, our use of it, doctor Clark. Uh,
- 44:51Speaker 2: you know begins because the Great Society was about to
- 44:56Speaker 2: consume all of the gold.
- 44:59Speaker 11: Never would have been Suma ball if we hadn't got
- 45:01Speaker 11: off of that gold standard thing.
- 45:03Speaker 2: Well, but that was it is. The gold standard wouldn't
- 45:05Speaker 2: allow us to print enough money to commit to all
- 45:10Speaker 2: of the aid programs that the Great Society had demanded
- 45:14Speaker 2: of us. Right, so the only answer was either cut
- 45:18Speaker 2: the programs or or get off the gold standard. And
- 45:24Speaker 2: you had people saying, well, if you stayed on the
- 45:27Speaker 2: gold standard, it would be racist. I remember reading that
- 45:31Speaker 2: about the gold standard. Is that the gold standard was
- 45:34Speaker 2: racist because poor black communities didn't have as much money,
- 45:38Speaker 2: therefore they didn't have as much gold. Therefore they didn't
- 45:41Speaker 2: have as much power as the white communities did outside
- 45:45Speaker 2: of I guess Oklahoma City.
- 45:49Speaker 11: Well, it just does not seem fair that Ponzi and
- 45:53Speaker 11: made Off are held in low regard.
- 46:00Speaker 2: They didn't come up with getting off the gold standard
- 46:02Speaker 2: on my hand. No, there were there were people doing
- 46:04Speaker 2: Ponzi schemes long before doctor Ponzi came along. Good stuff, Clark,
- 46:08Speaker 2: You have a good morning, sir.
- 46:11Speaker 16: Take care.
- 46:12Speaker 2: Four three four eighty two four two one seven is
- 46:16Speaker 2: the phone phone number. And here's here's where the difference
- 46:21Speaker 2: is when you talk about fiat currency is you know
- 46:26Speaker 2: who invented the idea, But you know China was doing
- 46:30Speaker 2: this out of there were more promissory notes. But the
- 46:43Speaker 2: ironically the Yuwon dynasty, which is what they call their
- 46:46Speaker 2: fiat currency right now, was when they really developed this
- 46:51Speaker 2: idea of IOUs. But but the point was you still
- 46:55Speaker 2: had the marker to call in saying I want this gold,
- 47:00Speaker 2: and the government was taking on responsibility for it, saying,
- 47:05Speaker 2: if you welch on your commitment to pay this money,
- 47:11Speaker 2: we will adjudicate you, generally speaking, taking your home, taking
- 47:17Speaker 2: your property, and then proceeds of it, etc. Etc. But
- 47:22Speaker 2: the impact of the Great Society up Mark writes in Joe,
- 47:29Speaker 2: it was the Space program, not the Great Society programs
- 47:36Speaker 2: that drove us to near bankruptcy. So he's bringing up
- 47:41Speaker 2: the specter of another conversation we had earlier in the
- 47:44Speaker 2: program regarding Greenland and its strategic position, especially given the
- 47:52Speaker 2: fact that they have a Russian and a Chinese base
- 47:56Speaker 2: on Greenland. Get them off if we own it. That's
- 48:01Speaker 2: all it was, is just making sure that those North
- 48:07Speaker 2: Arctic shipping lines stay free. And the currencies became commonplace
- 48:18Speaker 2: for that same reason. I'm not man explaining, but you know,
- 48:20Speaker 2: they became commonplace because you wanted to have something standard,
- 48:27Speaker 2: and they were concerned with the fluctuating price of gold.
- 48:32Speaker 2: So what they did was that not only did they
- 48:35Speaker 2: come off the gold standard, but they set up a
- 48:39Speaker 2: permanent pardon me, a permanent price for gold, and that
- 48:48Speaker 2: was it. It was set by the government. And then
- 48:52Speaker 2: that way we could say how much value we had
- 48:55Speaker 2: in gold, and we could print it out, you know,
- 48:59Speaker 2: in paper form at the bank whatever. And it was
- 49:04Speaker 2: still a promisory note. You still had to make good
- 49:07Speaker 2: on it. If somebody shut up and said, where's my money,
- 49:13Speaker 2: you would you would have probably twenty guys jump you anyway.
- 49:18Speaker 2: But they the idea of fiat currency is one of
- 49:27Speaker 2: the concerning things that we've done here in the United
- 49:31Speaker 2: States at large, and you see it here manifesting in
- 49:34Speaker 2: lost wages Nevada is that all the money has all
- 49:40Speaker 2: the wealth, I should say, not just money, but the
- 49:43Speaker 2: wealth has moved into places that you didn't.
- 49:48Speaker 10: Want it.
- 49:52Speaker 2: And it's being sat on. So there's there's this effort
- 49:56Speaker 2: to try to get people moving into the economy again.
- 49:59Speaker 2: And this is one of the things President Trump is
- 50:01Speaker 2: trying to do through regulations, through deregulations and that kind
- 50:05Speaker 2: of thing, move people into the economy again. Because while
- 50:12Speaker 2: the shops are putting out their numbers and they've got
- 50:15Speaker 2: you know, signs up and everything else, you know, at
- 50:18Speaker 2: the end of the real day, you and I have
- 50:23Speaker 2: to pay an electric bill. You and I have to
- 50:26Speaker 2: pay a gas bill. And that's you know why we
- 50:33Speaker 2: bring up gold standard is a is a famous one.
- 50:42Speaker 2: So as we wrap up here at this particular midday morning,
- 50:47Speaker 2: so tomorrow we'll have another day here and Friday, more
- 50:50Speaker 2: coverage of the Consumer Electronics Show will hopefully as the
- 50:54Speaker 2: day wears on, hear more about Congressman La Malfa. This
- 50:58Speaker 2: text message from somebody who served in Congress, Doug LaMalfa
- 51:04Speaker 2: is one of the nicest guys in DC. Hope everything
- 51:08Speaker 2: turns out okay. He was about six foot six inches tall.
- 51:13Speaker 2: Never saw him without a beard. He carried himself like
- 51:16Speaker 2: a lumberjack. Well that's a good look for somebody who
- 51:19Speaker 2: lives in northern or had lived in northern California, but
- 51:23Speaker 2: carried himself like a lumberjack. Was absolutely sardonically hilarious. But
- 51:29Speaker 2: if you weren't listening for it, you would miss it.
- 51:33Speaker 2: I love people like that, where if you miss a minute,
- 51:36Speaker 2: you miss a lot. Here, John writes in to four
- 51:41Speaker 2: three four eighty two four two one seven. I was
- 51:46Speaker 2: over at JCS the other day. That place was wall
- 51:51Speaker 2: to wall with people. Well, it's always good to hear

- 52:03Speaker 2: That's the name of the deal here is come on
- 52:07Speaker 2: in and enjoy what we have to offer. The other
- 52:14Speaker 2: point I wanted to make on Venezuela is Ukraine is
- 52:20Speaker 2: still you know, flying some sort of drone over Hey.
- 52:25Speaker 2: Everyone's fine with it. I guess he Oh, they won't
- 52:28Speaker 2: mess with us.

- 52:49Speaker 6: long and thanks for all the fish.
- 52:51Speaker 23: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
- 52:53Speaker 23: compression of spinal nerves According to doctor Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
- 52:57Speaker 23: California based chiropractor with more than three years of experience,
- 53:01Speaker 23: this compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury,
- 53:05Speaker 23: or simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
- 53:09Speaker 23: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
- 53:12Speaker 23: the neck and back. Doctor Fisher explains his inventions. The
- 53:16Speaker 23: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device
- 53:20Speaker 23: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
- 53:24Speaker 23: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are
- 53:27Speaker 23: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
- 53:30Speaker 23: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
- 53:33Speaker 23: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
- 53:36Speaker 23: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home,
- 53:38Speaker 23: and doctor Fisher's series of YouTube videos provides helpful videos
- 53:42Speaker 23: and detailed instructions. For more information, visit Fishertraction dot com
