Speaker 3: one in Joliet and one in Evanstone. Uh, and it
2:05
Speaker 3: covers the whole city. We had some great friends connect
2:08
Speaker 3: with us over the TSO show coming to Chicago. My
2:11
Speaker 3: cousin Mark lives in Chicago. Do you still have family
2:14
Speaker 3: in the Windy City.
2:17
Speaker 5: Yep.
2:17

Speaker 3: Oh that's very cool. Well you make sure you tell
2:25
Speaker 3: them to you know, listen to a first thing today
2:28
Speaker 3: on and I think it's sick.
2:30
Speaker 5: Kay.
2:31
Speaker 3: I don't have my list of affiliates. That's bad form
2:33
Speaker 3: on my part. But this either if they're north north
2:38
Speaker 3: of town, especially on our affiliate in Evanstone. But I
2:41
Speaker 3: appreciate it, sir, and you and you and yours as well.
2:44
Speaker 3: What is Thanksgiving like in Moscow? Obviously it's an American holiday.
2:48
Speaker 3: I don't expect them to have a Thanksgiving Day parade?
2:50
Speaker 3: But is it? Are there people ex pats who are
2:54
Speaker 3: doing something for Thanksgiving?
2:57
Speaker 4: Oh, there's a lot of ex pats shared. There's you know,
3:00
Speaker 4: the ex pact cafes where they'll go and then Thanksgiving.
3:03
Speaker 4: A lot of the cafes are the diners. You know,
3:06
Speaker 4: in certain areas where there's the exorbitant amount of expats,
3:12
Speaker 4: they actually prepare a traditional Thanksgiving feast for you.
3:17
Speaker 3: Wow, that's welcoming, you know, that's very Is is there
3:22
Speaker 3: an applicable Russian holiday? You know, kind of like Thanksgiving?
3:27
Speaker 3: I don't know, Lenin's birthday.
3:30
Speaker 4: They have different holidays throughout your family days. They have
3:33
Speaker 4: a lot more family oriented holidays that are traditional holidays
3:42
Speaker 4: that we do in the in America. You know, they
3:45
Speaker 4: have their day, they have their Father's Day, their Mother's Day,
3:49
Speaker 4: their grandparents Day, like everything else. But some of the
3:52
Speaker 4: how there's more festive. It's not like a super big
3:57
Speaker 4: get together like what we sell by with Thanksgiving, the
4:00
Speaker 4: prades and everything else, but it's more family oriented where
4:05
Speaker 4: it's like, hey, this is a howiday. All the shops
4:09
Speaker 4: are shut down except for certain shops sometimes for the holidays.
4:13
Speaker 4: And it's just family get together days.
4:16
Speaker 5: So it doesn't matter what it is.
4:19
Speaker 4: It's more about their holidays. They promote the family, your
4:23
Speaker 4: family getting together, doesn't matter what religion, personality. It's all
4:29
Speaker 4: about the family going to the park, the family having
4:33
Speaker 4: a cookout, the family going here, the family going to
4:36
Speaker 4: a museum. They promote family.
4:39
Speaker 5: That's the big thing.
4:40
Speaker 4: That's the biggest thing I like about Russia is there's
4:44
Speaker 4: much more of a promotion about doing things with a family.
4:48
Speaker 3: Well, you know, maybe they're just trying to make up
4:50
Speaker 3: for all the time they took Graham out of the
4:51
Speaker 3: gulog back during the USSR. Anyway, Bob, you'll have a
4:55
Speaker 3: wonderful Thanksgiving, you do. But four three four eight A
5:01
Speaker 3: two four to two one seven is the phone number.
5:04
Speaker 3: And our first things this morning to tell you about
5:07
Speaker 3: what went on there. I'm curious guy. President Trump upheld
5:12
Speaker 3: a Thanksgiving tradition yesterday, pardoning Gobble and Waddle too North
5:17
Speaker 3: Carolina turkeys. He also took a shot at the previous
5:20
Speaker 3: president talking about the Auto Penn pardon, saying that the
5:26
Speaker 3: autopen pardoned Peach and Blossom last year, so he rectroactively
5:30
Speaker 3: pardoned them again. Controversy coming out of the social media
5:35
Speaker 3: platform x. Their geolocation tool exposed waves of social media
5:41
Speaker 3: coming from overseas pretending to be American based accounts. Notably,
5:46
Speaker 3: many were so called maga accounts, supporting Donald Trump in
5:49
Speaker 3: many of their posts, but then posting critically of Israel
5:53
Speaker 3: and Ukraine. Nikki Haley, former UN ambassador, posted two acts
5:58
Speaker 3: the location feature is a huge win for transparency in
6:02
Speaker 3: American security. Speaking of Ukraine and Russia, President Trump said
6:08
Speaker 3: they have fine tuned the proposal to end the war,
6:11
Speaker 3: and Steve Witkoff is off to meet with Vladimir Putin
6:14

Speaker 3: from raw milk in there. And the Supreme Court Justice
6:44
Speaker 3: sam Alito put a hold on a lower court stay
6:47
Speaker 3: against Texas rolling out its new congressional maps, while the
6:52
Speaker 3: Supreme Court takes time to consider the merits of the dispute.
6:56
Speaker 3: And those are some of our first things for this
6:59
Speaker 3: Tednesday morning on the Talk To Media Network.
7:01
Speaker 6: You know, it's true, difficult times have a way of
7:04
Speaker 6: focusing us. We have to think about what matters most
7:07
Speaker 6: when it comes to our spending our healthcare. This is
7:09
Speaker 6: why so many people are joining meta share right now.
7:13
Speaker 6: Metas Share is a trusted way to save up to
7:16
Speaker 6: fifty percent on your monthly healthcare costs. More than four
7:19
Speaker 6: hundred thousand people have already made the switch. It's pretty
7:22
Speaker 6: obvious why, especially now during this challenging season with health
7:26
Speaker 6: care costs and out of pocket expenses going up. Metashare
7:29
Speaker 6: can save you a lot of money. The typical family
7:32
Speaker 6: saves five hundred dollars a month. Medashare works too. It's
7:36

7:44
Speaker 6: you the number here in a second, and if you call,

Speaker 3: Here you go call eight five five share forty.
7:55
Speaker 6: That's eight five five shre forty eight five five share forty.
8:04
Speaker 7: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes?
8:08
Speaker 7: Actually three known gas is I I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
8:13
Speaker 7: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
8:18
Speaker 7: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
8:23
Speaker 7: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
8:28
Speaker 7: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
8:32
Speaker 7: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
8:36

13:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can see you out there hunting turkey.
13:38
Speaker 22: I know, are the speaker.
13:44
Speaker 3: So one of the things. And you know my dietary landscape.
13:50
Speaker 3: We my wife and I are vegetarian. Uh, And there's
13:54
Speaker 3: this wonderful product which you know, and she loves shopping
13:58
Speaker 3: at Trader Joe's done. Guiltiest charge you can look at.
14:01
Speaker 3: Don't judge me, don't she doesn't bring me along. Believe me.
14:05
Speaker 3: If you want to make my wife agitated, go with
14:08
Speaker 3: her shopping. Oh, you'll lose a limb. It's like some
14:13
Speaker 3: of my friends, if you go with them hunting, they
14:15
Speaker 3: it's not you know, that's a thing they want to
14:18
Speaker 3: do by themselves. But so there's this been this product
14:22
Speaker 3: for gosh decade or so. It's this roast thing that
14:26
Speaker 3: they make with stuffing and all this stuff, and it's great.
14:29
Speaker 3: I mean, it doesn't taste like turkey, and I'm not
14:31
Speaker 3: going to lie to you that it tastes like turkey.
14:34
Speaker 3: But they discontinued the thing after like a decade or more.
14:38
Speaker 3: I don't know, if you shop and you know, maybe
14:40
Speaker 3: you have family members that are vegetarian, you look for
14:43
Speaker 3: these things. We used to recommend this to people, like
14:46
Speaker 3: if you want to do something, because I mean some
14:48
Speaker 3: of the stuff that they try to make taste like turkey,
14:51
Speaker 3: you realize I'm not even sure I know what turkey
14:55
Speaker 3: tastes like. I know what the skin tastes like. And
14:59
Speaker 3: generally that's the last thing of vegetarian wants you to
15:02
Speaker 3: eat dietarily. Never mind your cardiologist. But that being said,
15:07
Speaker 3: she's we have the last one. We bought three last
15:11
Speaker 3: year because they go out so fast and they're very popular.
15:15
Speaker 3: The last one is thawing in our refrigerator. I don't
15:17
Speaker 3: know what we're gonna do next year for Thanksgiving. We
15:19
Speaker 3: may have to give up on vegetarianism. I have no
15:22
Speaker 3: idea what we're gonna do, or you know, just eat
15:25
Speaker 3: sour dough bread with gravy on it or something along
15:28
Speaker 3: those lines. As we head into Thanksgiving holiday, our favorite
15:32
Speaker 3: family of gold and silver dealers, the Luck Family fourth generation,
15:36
Speaker 3: work in the jcsgold dot com website. Going to be
15:40
Speaker 3: there all weekend online at jcsgold dot com and with
15:45
Speaker 3: us this morning James Luck. Happy Thanksgiving week, James, how
15:49
Speaker 3: are you doing this morning?
15:51
Speaker 23: I'm doing well, Joe, and gold and silver are in
15:55
Speaker 23: the green again today. Gold is up three cours of percent,
15:58
Speaker 23: up thirty two dollars of four one hundred and sixty
16:02
Speaker 23: three dollars, and Solver is up even stronger, up two
16:07
Speaker 23: percent today, up over a dollar to fifty two dollars
16:10
Speaker 23: and fifty cents. So is making a run at its
16:14
Speaker 23: recent all time high fifty four dollars. Let's say, if
16:17
Speaker 23: they can get there again here well Thanksgiving.
16:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, that fifty dollars mark from like twenty years ago
16:25
Speaker 3: or more was crested just you know. Now we're talking about, Wow,
16:28
Speaker 3: we need to get a high high water mark we
16:30
Speaker 3: had last week. It's wild selling and buying. Uh there.
16:35
Speaker 3: It's interesting to watch this kind of steady climb. But
16:38
Speaker 3: if you go to any of the charts and graphs
16:40
Speaker 3: at jcsgold dot com, you'll be able to see that
16:42
Speaker 3: this is not Although the numbers are unusual for recent history,
16:47
Speaker 3: it's not an unusual climb for these two precious metals,
16:51
Speaker 3: is it, James, No, it's really not.
16:53
Speaker 23: And I was talking with the client earlier this week
16:57
Speaker 23: and we were discussing, you know why gold and silver
17:00
Speaker 23: are so important, you know, on the monetary system, and
17:04
Speaker 23: it's because sovereign governments, governments, civilizations have been buying and
17:09
Speaker 23: owning and based off of gold and silver, you know,
17:14
Speaker 23: basically for the all of existence of humanity. And that's
17:18
Speaker 23: because gold and silver are are stable and they're not
17:21
Speaker 23: They are a stable investment so that you can base
17:25
Speaker 23: an entire government off of an entire community can be
17:29
Speaker 23: based off of the value of gold and silver, and
17:32
Speaker 23: that's why they really are key staples, uh, you know,
17:35
Speaker 23: to our monetary system. So it's it's something that everyone
17:38
Speaker 23: should have at least a part of their portfolio in
17:40
Speaker 23: gold and silver.
17:41
Speaker 21: It is the oldest form of money and and you know,
17:45
Speaker 21: very important to.
17:46
Speaker 23: To things like inflation and hedging against that shrinking dollar.
17:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody speaks gold and silver, James, absolutely, sir. So
17:54
Speaker 3: what is what is the Luck family traditions for Thanksgiving?
17:57
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't want to put you on the spot,
17:59
Speaker 3: but you know, we talk about you and it's a
18:01
Speaker 3: great family business. Your mom and your pop there and

Speaker 3: You've got the you know, wife and kids. So what's
18:11
Speaker 3: that like? Is it is it just get a barn
18:13
Speaker 3: and get everyone in the same room together or how
18:15
Speaker 3: do you do it?
18:17
Speaker 23: Yeah, we do have a lot of running around to
18:19
Speaker 23: do on Thanksgiving like most people. You know, we have
18:22
Speaker 23: this family to get to, that family to get to,
18:24

18:47
Speaker 23: on a special Luck Family Thanksgiving.
18:50
Speaker 5: And we have with that.
18:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you order a pizza and get out some
18:54
Speaker 3: takeout Asian food and you know that's that's exact good. Well,
18:59
Speaker 3: believe me, a friend of mine used to own a
19:00
Speaker 3: pizza place and he said it was the busiest night
19:04
Speaker 3: of the year was the night before Thanksgiving because you know,
19:07
Speaker 3: all the cooking apparatus is working on tomorrow's meal. So
19:11
Speaker 3: it's just throw a pizza, got start.
19:13
Speaker 23: It absolutely together. Luck Family Thanksgiving having a pizza right
19:21
Speaker 23: before all of the running around on Thanksgiving Day.
19:24
Speaker 5: It's a lot of fun.
19:25
Speaker 3: Well, I appreciate it, sir. You have a blessed Thanksgiving
19:27
Speaker 3: and we'll talk to you on the other side. Sounds
19:31
Speaker 3: great YouTube, Joe, Thank you jcsgold dot com. You know
19:35
Speaker 3: I was. I got lucky. Mike Bedenball is going to
19:39
Speaker 3: come back with us in a little bit talk about
19:40
Speaker 3: the reviving our Republic is ninety five theses for how
19:46
Speaker 3: we've come off the treadle, as it were, But just
19:50
Speaker 3: in the moment or two we have before the news
19:53
Speaker 3: at half past I got lucky. My wife's family is
19:58
Speaker 3: super heavy duty. Chrisman. My family always celebrate Christmas, absolutely,
20:03
Speaker 3: but we were more fungible about well, maybe we'd do
20:07
Speaker 3: it on Christmas Eve, maybe we do it Christmas Day.
20:09
Speaker 3: We could do it late Christmas Day. There wasn't like this.
20:13
Speaker 3: You know. The kids have to be walking in their
20:15
Speaker 3: new pajamas at eight pm on Christmas Eve and with
20:20
Speaker 3: the stockings in their hand. And my father in law,
20:23
Speaker 3: Bless him and make you rest in peace. He was
20:27
Speaker 3: so strict, and he used to drive his wife crazy
20:30
Speaker 3: because she had to find a place to hide the
20:32
Speaker 3: Christmas presents until after all the kids went to bed
20:37
Speaker 3: Christmas Eve and we wouldn't even wrap them. So, oh,
20:41
Speaker 3: Christmas Eve was such a long night because he had
20:45
Speaker 3: to wrap everything that Christmas Eve. But Thanksgiving was always
20:49
Speaker 3: my family's thing, my dad and my mom. The Thanksgiving
20:53
Speaker 3: was their things. So it was pretty easy in my world.
20:56
Speaker 3: We didn't have to run back and forth, you know.
20:59
Speaker 3: We would we would make my parents' house Thanksgiving and
21:03
Speaker 3: my wife's house and parents' house Christmas, and it was easy.
21:07
Speaker 3: And until we started having well was at my sister's house,
21:11
Speaker 3: her sister's house, and that started to get fragmented. This year,
21:16
Speaker 3: we are not traveling for Thanksgiving. It's the first year
21:20
Speaker 3: I can remember in multiple decades. I think gold was
21:25
Speaker 3: ten dollars announced the last time we didn't have to
21:28
Speaker 3: travel somewhere. Oh you know what, we didn't have to
21:31
Speaker 3: travel somewhere for Thanksgiving because we were you know, I
21:34
Speaker 3: think we were new Lee Weeds and we were pretty
21:36
Speaker 3: you know, you know, up in the neck of the woods.
21:39
Speaker 3: But our kids are coming to us. We are the
21:43
Speaker 3: hosts for a change. Maybe we get a decade of
21:46
Speaker 3: not having to travel on Thanksgiving. So hopefully, wherever you are,
21:50
Speaker 3: you're tuned in and you're enjoying and you're getting ready
21:52
Speaker 3: because it's really about people. I mean, the food is
21:55
Speaker 3: almost irrelevant. It's nice to have the traditions, but the
21:59
Speaker 3: people that's the tradition.
22:02
Speaker 7: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas. Yes,
22:07
Speaker 7: actually three known gases. I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric oxide
22:13

28:51
Speaker 3: being part of the proceedings there. John down on the
28:55
Speaker 3: Treasure Coast and our friends at w T TV down
28:58
Speaker 3: there in VERA happy Thanksgiving week there, John. How are
29:03
Speaker 3: you doing, sir?
29:04
Speaker 22: Oh, thank you Joe, and also thanks to to your
29:08
Speaker 22: wonderful broadcast. My mornings are really wonderful.
29:13
Speaker 3: Well, thank you, sir. I appreciate that.
29:15
Speaker 22: Yes, and I'm a hard percent service connected disabled veteran
29:20
Speaker 22: and I wanted to thank you for your wonderful honesty
29:24
Speaker 22: in all of your broadcasts.
29:26
Speaker 3: Let me ask you this, since since the question of
29:29
Speaker 3: soldiers has been you know, and I think it's just
29:33
Speaker 3: a make believe kind of thing that these guys did
29:36
Speaker 3: an attention getting video Slotkin and Kelly and all these people.
29:40
Speaker 3: But as a veteran, I mean, how does it make
29:42
Speaker 3: you feel when they act like veterans as soldiers active duties,
29:46
Speaker 3: soldiers and commanders are too dumb to understand what a
29:50
Speaker 3: legal order is, and an illegal order is.
29:54
Speaker 22: That It's the whole thing is ridiculous.
29:57
Speaker 5: On its face.
29:58
Speaker 22: It is an attack, an attempted attack to put a
30:04
Speaker 22: wedge between our commander in chief and all the officers
30:09
Speaker 22: and and listed in all of our military as an
30:12
Speaker 22: attempt to erode our are, our entire respect for orders.
30:25
Speaker 22: When you signed, when you promised to, when you swear
30:29
Speaker 22: in you into the to the requirements of the u
30:33
Speaker 22: c m J, the Uniforsal Code of Military Justice. You're
30:37
Speaker 22: not swearing in so much of the Constitution. It's a
30:41
Speaker 22: whole separate thing. When you when you were in the
30:44
Speaker 22: active duty military, you follow orders without question, period. That's it.
30:50
Speaker 22: There's no question, there's no what wait six months for
30:54
Speaker 22: some some liberal judge to decide whether or not you
30:58
Speaker 22: have a quote air quo. It's legal order, that's baloney,
31:02
Speaker 22: it's total bs.
31:04
Speaker 3: He had my finger on the dump button there, John.
31:06
Speaker 3: I was like, Oh, he's about to say bovine excrement.
31:10
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, baloney. He pulled the right one out
31:12
Speaker 3: of the hat. So what do you do? Do you
31:16
Speaker 3: have family around you down there on the Treasure Coast?
31:19

31:25
Speaker 22: a top secret program.
31:28
Speaker 3: I don't want to give away any secrets, please, I
31:30
Speaker 3: don't want to. I don't want to read about investigations ensuing. No,
31:34
Speaker 3: not loose lips and sink ships. Right, But they're around.
31:38
Speaker 3: They're around to come and hang with you on Thanksgiving.

31:53
Speaker 22: hours drive north of me. I'm down in Zureau Beach.
31:56
Speaker 22: She's all the way up in Okalla, So that's going
31:59
Speaker 22: to be I'm going to have to miss seeing my
32:02
Speaker 22: daughter this Thanksgiving because she's just too far away. And
32:05
Speaker 22: her husband's iill.
32:07
Speaker 3: I'm sorry to hear that.
32:08
Speaker 5: Well.
32:08
Speaker 3: I hope he's he gets better soon. Do you have
32:10
Speaker 3: friends around that you can can be around.
32:13
Speaker 22: Yes, I have my friends at my my BFW shout
32:17
Speaker 22: out to me my post, one of one of three
32:21
Speaker 22: point seven out there, and one of the kitchen, my
32:26
Speaker 22: W post and Sebastian.
32:28
Speaker 3: One of them is your radio station, and one of
32:30
Speaker 3: them's your VFW. That's okay. We're all here for you.
32:32
Speaker 22: John, thank you, and I wanted to find out a
32:36
Speaker 22: real quick question. I I thoroughly enjoyed your breakdown conversation
32:43
Speaker 22: UH with with regards to the price of gold and silver.
32:46
Speaker 22: Did they say that that silver is a spot price
32:49
Speaker 22: is fifty two?
32:50
Speaker 5: Now?
32:51
Speaker 3: I think that's what he said. I wasn't you know.
32:53
Speaker 3: You know they have those little meeting recorders. Now I
32:56
Speaker 3: don't have one. I feel like that's just asking for
32:59
Speaker 3: the CIA to survey my its covers. Let me, let me,
33:02
Speaker 3: let me take a look here real quick. Uh, because
33:05
Speaker 3: it's jcsgold dot com. That's all I do is go there.
33:10
Speaker 3: So right now it's fifty two dollars fifty five cents. Great,
33:15
Speaker 3: thank you so much, not at all, sir, and uh
33:17
Speaker 3: and happy shopping and uh and happy Thanksgiving. And we'll
33:21
Speaker 3: be here tomorrow morning. I mean, well, we'll still be
33:23
Speaker 3: on the air tomorrow morning. So I'm not sure what
33:26
Speaker 3: I may be cooking turkey with a microphone headset on,
33:29
Speaker 3: I don't know, but we will.
33:31
Speaker 22: For your sacrifice to our country.
33:34
Speaker 3: No, it's no sacrifice. It is it's what I was
33:38
Speaker 3: born to do. And and that's you. You. You've given
33:42
Speaker 3: us the right to speak freely, and we have to
33:45
Speaker 3: honor it by uh speaking the truth, because I think
33:48
Speaker 3: anything less dishonors what you did. And all your brother,
33:52
Speaker 3: God bless you, Joe, Well God amen to that brother.
33:56
Speaker 3: You have a great thanksgiving John.
33:59
Speaker 22: Yeah, and I don't care who the commander in cheap is.
34:02
Speaker 22: Forget about color of hair, mister yell here where they
34:06
Speaker 22: call it, it does doesn't matter if you're in the military,
34:09
Speaker 22: you follow worse period.
34:11
Speaker 3: Amen, you know, it is it is that, and and
34:14
Speaker 3: that's why we we pick these folks. I mean, there's
34:17
Speaker 3: a rule of order as to how these folks get
34:19
Speaker 3: these positions, and these positions have constitutional authorities. It's very,
34:25
Speaker 3: very important that we follow that, otherwise we become just
34:28
Speaker 3: like the Banana republics that you may have had to
34:30
Speaker 3: go and serve our country in, where when those things
34:34
Speaker 3: go sideways, when you know, you read these stories of
34:37
Speaker 3: you know, the El Presidente is hold up in the
34:39
Speaker 3: palace with the with the army surrounding him, and then
34:42
Speaker 3: the mayor of the capital city has got the police
34:45
Speaker 3: department and they're fighting in the street. I mean, that's
34:48
Speaker 3: where we're winding up. I mean, that's what we could do,
34:51
Speaker 3: you know, And and I hope cooler heads prevail in that.
34:54
Speaker 3: But it's always the peril because if we if we
34:57
Speaker 3: convince enough people that the government it's just supposed to
35:00
Speaker 3: fix our self interests, then you know, I don't know
35:04
Speaker 3: what we're fighting for. So we've got to honor your
35:06
Speaker 3: sacrifice by making sure this is the America that you
35:09
Speaker 3: fought for.
35:10
Speaker 22: That's what I believe that the Marxist democrats so called
35:15
Speaker 22: air quotes democrats. What chaos and mayhem that is there there?
35:21
Speaker 22: That's their goal. Sure, they want to us and then
35:25
Speaker 22: conquer us. And we can't let them, my friend, can't
35:28
Speaker 22: let them. You have a great day, sir, Thank you
35:30
Speaker 22: for the call. God bless you, Joe, Thank you John.
35:33
Speaker 22: God bless you as well. Four three four eight eight
35:36
Speaker 22: two four two one seven uh. And you can text
35:40
Speaker 22: message as well. We get a lot of text messages
35:43
Speaker 22: because it's just you know, it's easier to you know,
35:46
Speaker 22: shout something at voice to text if if you're driving along,
35:50
Speaker 22: maybe you're on your way already. This one on this
35:55
Speaker 22: fundraising coup that has come from this nutty, you know,
35:59
Speaker 22: attention grabbing video. And part of the problem is why
36:02
Speaker 22: do they do stuff like this illegal orders video, because
36:06
Speaker 22: it works even if it even if it's not about
36:09
Speaker 22: public policy, it's about money in the bank. Mark Kelly
36:13
Speaker 22: isn't saying, oh yeah, we've got a lot of money
36:15
Speaker 22: rolling in and I said it's j Jones, the Attorney
36:20
Speaker 22: general elect here in Virginia, didn't didn't apologize for saying
36:26
Speaker 22: he wanted to shoot a Republican in the head. He
36:28
Speaker 22: doubled down on it. He got a million dollars. The
36:31
Speaker 22: next day in his campaign coffer Joel says, there's a
36:37
Speaker 22: Southern expression, a guilty dog barks Mark Kelly trying to
36:41
Speaker 22: beg for money for his legal defense. I think he's
36:44
Speaker 22: just trying to beg for money, you know. And the
36:48
Speaker 22: one thing I'm.
36:48
Speaker 3: Surprised about this whole Mark Kelly bit, he hasn't wheeled
36:52
Speaker 3: out the Gabby Gifford's corner. You know, maybe it's coming,
36:56
Speaker 3: maybe if if attention starts to wane, or or maybe
37:00
Speaker 3: if the heat comes up too high on Mark Kelly
37:03
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, he'll be like, you know, my wife,
37:06
Speaker 3: Gabriella Gifford's was because they did that for Kamala Harris.
37:12
Speaker 3: And the last two or three weeks of the campaign,
37:16
Speaker 3: Gabriella Giffords was out campaigning and bless her. I mean here,
37:21
Speaker 3: you know, shot in the face by a supporter, by
37:24
Speaker 3: the way, by somebody who was so unhinged by the

Speaker 3: rhetoric of the left, and then having not seen what
37:32
Speaker 3: they thought they were being told come to pass, had
37:36
Speaker 3: come unglued. Not the gun's fault. Gun was just a tool,
37:44
Speaker 3: and you know, just just like our rhetoric. Our verbs
37:47
Speaker 3: and adjectives can be tools for right and wrong. And
37:51
Speaker 3: there's essential rights and wrong anyway, Mike Beidenbach coming back,

41:01
Speaker 28: Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
41:04
Speaker 28: with animals. I'm not only in all of their beauty
41:06
Speaker 28: and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
41:09
Speaker 28: at the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or
41:12
Speaker 28: Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
41:15
Speaker 28: or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
41:17
Speaker 28: secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive

Speaker 28: by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
41:29
Speaker 28: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
41:32
Speaker 28: they also perform life saving work every day.

Speaker 17: Dogs keep us safe at airports.

42:12
Speaker 17: Who's with me?
42:13
Speaker 23: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
42:16
Speaker 23: brain is saying when it's time to go home.

42:32
Speaker 15: costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
42:36
Speaker 15: good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
42:40
Speaker 15: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home

Speaker 15: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
42:46
Speaker 15: learn how to do it. Yourself at energysavers dot gov.

42:53
Speaker 15: leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
42:56
Speaker 15: improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
43:00
Speaker 15: when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
43:03
Speaker 15: energy Star logo and read the energy guide label. And
43:07
Speaker 15: there are day to day things you can do. Lower
43:09
Speaker 15: your thermostat and winter and raise it in the summer,
43:12

Speaker 2: Making mornings great again. First Thing Today on the Talk
44:16
Speaker 2: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
44:21
Speaker 3: I mean, Ted ste is that bat scratch Oh you
44:30
Speaker 3: shouldn't have had you taken the bat scratch shot. Oh
44:37
Speaker 3: we had. You know that doctor is going to be punished.
44:42
Speaker 3: You know, we don't give cures for anything anymore. On
44:47
Speaker 3: this Tedsday Morning book. That just caught my attention because
44:51
Speaker 3: it's a conversation you and I have had about all
44:54
Speaker 3: the things that we have allowed to erode away, the
44:58
Speaker 3: waxy build up on the beautiful furniture that is the
45:03
Speaker 3: United States, and it's all still there underneath it, and
45:06
Speaker 3: we just need to kind of clear it off, get
45:09
Speaker 3: some furniture stripper on there. And it wouldn't be the
45:12
Speaker 3: first time somebody in government said we need stripper. But
45:16
Speaker 3: I think in this case, you know what the analogy means.
45:19
Speaker 3: Mike Betnbaw is part of Preservation South Carolina has written
45:23
Speaker 3: a book called Reviving the Republic Our Republic as ninety
45:28
Speaker 3: five theses, and one of the things before we had
45:31
Speaker 3: to run out, Mike, and I appreciate you hanging and
45:34
Speaker 3: coming back with us this morning. You were talking about
45:36
Speaker 3: centralized the centralized economy, and this is one of those
45:39
Speaker 3: places I was like, I don't know every time I
45:42
Speaker 3: hear somebody talking about, oh, we have too much centralized economy.
45:45
Speaker 3: I don't like the way it usually teeters, but it's
45:48
Speaker 3: certainly obvious to me that we k Street and the
45:53
Speaker 3: regulatory capture that the perversion of the Commerce clause of
45:58
Speaker 3: the Constitution has a lot out the federal government to
46:01
Speaker 3: do has centralized our industries into Washington and it keeps
46:08
Speaker 3: small business and I think in a lot of ways
46:12
Speaker 3: ingenious upgrades to our services and the things that we
46:18
Speaker 3: do because you have to get through the regulatory capture
46:22
Speaker 3: of it. And it impedes young people's belief that they can,
46:26
Speaker 3: as we say here on Tedsdy, find out what they're
46:30
Speaker 3: gifted and talented to do and go do it because
46:33
Speaker 3: they feel like there's just too many hurdles in their way.
46:36
Speaker 3: Am I wrong?
46:37
Speaker 5: You're right? Absolutely.
46:39
Speaker 21: I mean in you know where you know you can
46:42
Speaker 21: see it also in towns where you had different civic groups.
46:45
Speaker 5: Lions Club, rotary, all of these.
46:48
Speaker 21: Go into a town, there'll be ten different signs of
46:51
Speaker 21: the different civic groups that are there.
46:53
Speaker 5: Now you don't see that anymore.
46:56
Speaker 21: I mean, it's people's engagement as citizens beyond just voting,
47:01
Speaker 21: but also being civically engaged in your community.
47:04
Speaker 5: And part of this is why also.
47:06
Speaker 21: In my ninety five pieces, I call for readdressing the
47:10
Speaker 21: detachment of young people from their civic life, and after
47:14
Speaker 21: high school or either when they turn seventeen preparing for
47:18
Speaker 21: being an adult, they should serve in some sort of
47:21
Speaker 21: state mandated civic group. I don't want to say the
47:26
Speaker 21: word militia, but I do want to say something where
47:29
Speaker 21: they're engaged in engagement in the community. That's the best
47:33
Speaker 21: way to put it. And I think that's important.
47:37
Speaker 3: Now is the trouble, and this is where And I
47:39
Speaker 3: said to your publicist, I said, does he mind talking
47:42
Speaker 3: with somebody who doesn't necessarily agree on all the things? See,
47:46
Speaker 3: when you make it a mandatory, I think what you're
47:51
Speaker 3: winding up doing is you're just And I see it
47:53
Speaker 3: in Britain. My wife has British relatives, and it just
47:58
Speaker 3: becomes another thing that happens. It's a bureaucracy. It's it
48:03
Speaker 3: loses the meaning of being a rotarian or joining the
48:07
Speaker 3: Knights of Columbus or those sorts of things. But I
48:11
Speaker 3: think people don't join because they don't see the point
48:14
Speaker 3: in it anymore. And I think if you break up
48:16
Speaker 3: the bigs, the big DC, the big the big industrial,
48:21
Speaker 3: and you bring things back to the local and the
48:24
Speaker 3: local entrepreneur's, local businesses. You'll see a rebirth naturally of
48:29
Speaker 3: those organizations because it will become important the chambers of
48:33
Speaker 3: commerce and that kind of thing. Does that make any sense?
48:37
Speaker 21: Yes, absolutely. Let me clarify. I don't mean to be
48:39
Speaker 21: forced you have to be a rotarian. I'm talking actual
48:44
Speaker 21: military training and service like our people used to do
48:48
Speaker 21: one hundred and fifty years ago. When you became an adult,
48:51
Speaker 21: you had to serve in the local militia I see
48:56
Speaker 21: from your governor and so sort of military civic training.
49:04
Speaker 21: As of we can't make it as part of citizenship,
49:07
Speaker 21: but we do need to make it as part of
49:09
Speaker 21: being a respectful citizen in that social element.
49:13
Speaker 5: To say, it just gives a chance for people to
49:16
Speaker 5: learn more about their.
49:17
Speaker 3: Community, sheriff's deputy, that kind of thing. So I want
49:22
Speaker 3: to segue to the military industrial complex, and Lord only knows,
49:26
Speaker 3: we spend a lot of time on this. You talk
49:28
Speaker 3: about and Mike, you'll probably chuckle at this. I bring
49:32
Speaker 3: up the fact that the two greatest generals in the
49:34
Speaker 3: history of humankind with apologies to Alexander. Are Washington and Eisenhower.
49:40
Speaker 3: They've done more to liberate more people by the sacrifices
49:44
Speaker 3: of their soldiers and their tactics than any two generals
49:49
Speaker 3: in the history of the world. And both of them
49:53
Speaker 3: have written. Yeah, you mentioned Washington's farewell address, Eisenhower's as well,
50:01
Speaker 3: you know, and people forget the whole academic and scientific complex,
50:05
Speaker 3: but the military as well. Talk about what your ideas
50:09
Speaker 3: are regarding constitutional limits on military engagement. Are you talking
50:16
Speaker 3: about not having a permanent standing army or navy. Are
50:20
Speaker 3: you talking about making sure that congressional approval goes back
50:24
Speaker 3: into the application of our servicemen and women.
50:29
Speaker 21: Well, that is one, absolutely, absolutely, we have to go
50:33
Speaker 21: back to where no president can assume they can just.
50:36
Speaker 5: Start bombing at will.
50:38
Speaker 21: We have to have full declaration of war and that
50:43
Speaker 21: has to be the case. But we also have to
50:45
Speaker 21: build a culture of neutrality without going down the slippery
50:50
Speaker 21: slope of confusing that with isolationism. I do not consider
50:56
Speaker 21: it isolationism when we say neutral stance on other nations
51:02
Speaker 21: internal affairs, because what I see, what we've done now
51:06
Speaker 21: is because of being so many entangled alliances with certain
51:11
Speaker 21: very specific states around the world. We have now become
51:16
Speaker 21: isolated from those that have been declared enemies of those
51:20
Speaker 21: states were tied to, and so it has shut us
51:23
Speaker 21: off from opportunity for a more peaceful world where we
51:27
Speaker 21: can engage more astectively in the same way Roosevelt helped
51:32
Speaker 21: bringing into the Russo Japanese War where he could be
51:36
Speaker 21: an objective observer to come in and put a piece
51:38
Speaker 21: deal together, which he won the Nobel Prize. Farm But
51:43
Speaker 21: I have to remember how important that is to stand
51:46
Speaker 21: back in Washington.
51:47
Speaker 5: Really reiterated that.
51:48
Speaker 3: And I think one of the keys, you know, Mike
51:50
Speaker 3: Beadenbaugh is on with us. The book is reviving and
51:53
Speaker 3: the website, there's a website attached to it as well,
51:57
Speaker 3: and I want to make sure that I share it, Michael,
52:01
Speaker 3: because your your website is also you know, a place
52:05
Speaker 3: people can give us. And you work in for preservation
52:10
Speaker 3: South Carolina there. But you know, one of the things
52:13
Speaker 3: you know is is that you know, well, you know,
52:17
Speaker 3: we're battling with somebody, so you have to help us
52:19
Speaker 3: kind of thing. And I want to explore that more.
52:22
Speaker 3: And we've got the news coming up here at the
52:24
Speaker 3: top of the hour. So I don't want to get
52:25
Speaker 3: into a subject and then have to duck out of
52:28
Speaker 3: it really quick. Our friends at First Free in the
52:30
