- 0:46Speaker 4: That is how you get to us. It's a multitasker.
- 0:48Speaker 4: You can use it to text message because I know
- 0:52Speaker 4: how mornings are. You can also make a traditional phone call.
- 0:57Speaker 4: Uh there four three four eight eight two for two
- 1:01Speaker 4: one seven. Either or we'll get it. I'll get into
- 1:05Speaker 4: our friend John Stutzon what he's again published about the money,
- 1:10Speaker 4: just what Joel was asking about about George's money. But
- 1:13Speaker 4: this isn't in any expose. And George Soros and the
- 1:18Speaker 4: money walking he does and the influence peddling, it goes
- 1:22Speaker 4: back to an unconstitutional establishment of influence, This perversion of
- 1:30Speaker 4: the Commerce Clause and so many other interpretations of sentences
- 1:36Speaker 4: that were meant to be fairly concrete and clear in
- 1:40Speaker 4: the establishment of this nation, that allow for police departments
- 1:46Speaker 4: to ignore investigations even though there were clearly calls for it,
- 1:53Speaker 4: ignore determinations of it, or in the case, and I'll
- 1:58Speaker 4: tie the two stories together. In hesit's case, we'll spin
- 2:04Speaker 4: the story how we want it because we want to
- 2:07Speaker 4: get a political outcome, those political outcomes, and and for
- 2:11Speaker 4: those who will claim, but Joe, this is just proof
- 2:13Speaker 4: that the that the system is broken, Well, no, no,
- 2:16Speaker 4: the system isn't even in use right now. The system
- 2:20Speaker 4: is laying on the floor in the basement like that,
- 2:23Speaker 4: like that Nordic track you got in the eighties. We
- 2:26Speaker 4: don't judge four three four eighty two four two one seven.
- 2:31Speaker 4: We have a couple of minutes here before we have
- 2:32Speaker 4: to do our first things. Uh So, let me see
- 2:35Speaker 4: who's on the line with us. I think, what are
- 2:36Speaker 4: you saying? Doctor Clark's on there with us? Good morning Clark.
- 2:39Speaker 4: How are you doing, sir?
- 2:42Speaker 6: I'm all good, Joe, how are you?
- 2:44Speaker 4: I'm busy, busy, busy, you know that's that's but that's
- 2:46Speaker 4: good because I've been I've been unbusy before and unbusy
- 2:51Speaker 4: is not fun.
- 2:52Speaker 7: Uh So that's no good.
- 2:54Speaker 4: Yeah, So give me a quick synopsis, give us, give
- 2:57Speaker 4: us the bullet points. I've got to do the first
- 2:59Speaker 4: things here. So those and then we can hold on
- 3:02Speaker 4: to you if you want.
- 3:04Speaker 6: With Moscow Bob, the issue was raised about what about
- 3:07Speaker 6: bo Burg Doll, Bradley Manning. I've said it before, Zell,
- 3:10Speaker 6: I'll say it again. With the left and whistleblowers, it's
- 3:15Speaker 6: always about whose whistle's getting blown. Yeah, the whistleblower is
- 3:20Speaker 6: blowing the whistle for the Left, that's a good whistleblower.
- 3:23Speaker 6: They need protection. If somebody else's whistle is getting blown,
- 3:28Speaker 6: that's a dirty, rotting whistle blower.
- 3:30Speaker 4: Well, you have to be tolerated well, and your point
- 3:33Speaker 4: is well taken. I want to not forget to bring up,
- 3:35Speaker 4: you know, one of the great examples of that hypocrisy,
- 3:38Speaker 4: which is Hamas and Israel. But we'll get into that
- 3:41Speaker 4: in a second. Go ahead, Yes, now you've brought up
- 3:46Speaker 4: the distraction.
- 3:47Speaker 6: The job the magician is to distract while the tiger
- 3:50Speaker 6: gets wheeled off the cage.
- 3:52Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the trick.
- 3:54Speaker 6: I think Pete headset might be a distraction right now.
- 3:59Speaker 6: We'll get in to that more or later maybe now, sure, Oh,
- 4:03Speaker 6: this is absolutely this is this is a six month
- 4:06Speaker 6: old story.
- 4:07Speaker 4: I mean it's you know, come on.
- 4:08Speaker 6: Now, yeah, So did you coincidentally refer to George Zimmerman
- 4:15Speaker 6: when talking about the Brian Cole Junior thing?
- 4:18Speaker 8: No?
- 4:19Speaker 6: Or did you deliberately do that?
- 4:20Speaker 4: I deliberately did that. I know it sounds like a
- 4:23Speaker 4: mistakenly stumble over stuff in the basement, step on lego blocks,
- 4:28Speaker 4: but sometimes sometimes it's intentional.
- 4:31Speaker 6: How fascinating are the relationships that just keep coming up?
- 4:35Speaker 4: Joe?
- 4:37Speaker 6: Now, In the first place, Brian Cole Jr. Is a
- 4:43Speaker 6: criminal mastermind that eluded the Biden FBI for four years.
- 4:47Speaker 4: By hiding in his mother's eyes.
- 4:50Speaker 6: Yes, and then I'm sorry, but it took caspit tell
- 4:53Speaker 6: how many months to find him?
- 4:55Speaker 4: So all right, yeah, hang on to that, hang on
- 4:58Speaker 4: to that. We got to do the first things here,
- 5:00Speaker 4: and then we'll come back and we'll get well go
- 5:02Speaker 4: into depth onto all of that. That's the bullet points
- 5:05Speaker 4: version of what doctor Clark has on his mind. And
- 5:08Speaker 4: so far no geography tests for me, so that's a
- 5:10Speaker 4: good sign. Here are our first things. This morning, Virginia
- 5:15Speaker 4: Senator Mark Warner, playing his role in the magic trick
- 5:19Speaker 4: of pay attention to other things, is calling for the
- 5:21Speaker 4: removal of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth in the wake
- 5:25Speaker 4: of a new IG report that says nothing classified was leaked.
- 5:36Speaker 4: Sorry wrong script if. Florida's entire US congressional delegation has
- 5:41Speaker 4: turned on Donald Trump, calling on him to drop the
- 5:44Speaker 4: plans to drill for oil in the Gulf of America
- 5:47Speaker 4: off of Florida. The Supreme Court paved the way for
- 5:52Speaker 4: Texas to use its new congressional map the Republic. The
- 5:58Speaker 4: court's unsigned order says the justices grant Texas's emergency request
- 6:03Speaker 4: to block a lower courts ruling that barred the map
- 6:06Speaker 4: as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. Homeland Security Secretary Christy nom
- 6:13Speaker 4: said on Thursday that President Trump's administration is moving to
- 6:17Speaker 4: expand the number of countries covered on its travel band
- 6:21Speaker 4: from the current nineteen to over thirty, but the list
- 6:24Speaker 4: will be published when the president is ready, she said,

- 7:07Speaker 9: to look into, and that's meta Share. Maybe you've heard
- 7:10Speaker 9: joining meta share can save you or your family up

- 8:08Speaker 10: Yes?
- 8:08Speaker 1: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
- 8:13Speaker 1: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
- 8:18Speaker 1: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
- 8:23Speaker 1: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen

- 15:39Speaker 4: recount for yourself and take a look in there. How
- 15:42Speaker 4: are the christ Christmas rounds holding out.
- 15:46Speaker 20: They're doing they're doing well so far. They are selling
- 15:49Speaker 20: pretty quickly, but we still have some in stock. I
- 15:52Speaker 20: think we still have all designs, and we have three
- 15:56Speaker 20: non painted designs and three painted designs. So jet goes
- 15:59Speaker 20: out before they're very popular.
- 16:01Speaker 4: What do they look like? What do they do? Just
- 16:03Speaker 4: a thumbnail sketch?
- 16:04Speaker 3: I don't you know.
- 16:05Speaker 4: I know you can see it at jcsgold dot com.
- 16:07Speaker 4: But what do they look like?
- 16:09Speaker 20: Absolutely, we have one that's two snowmen together and they're caroling.
- 16:14Speaker 20: We have a Happy Holidays scene that's kind of a
- 16:18Speaker 20: barn and a river and some snowy mountains, and then
- 16:21Speaker 20: of course we have Santa Claus in front of an
- 16:23Speaker 20: American flag, a very patriotic Santa Claus, which seems to
- 16:26Speaker 20: be a fan favorite at the moment.
- 16:28Speaker 4: All right, well get it. While the gitting's good. They
- 16:31Speaker 4: sell faster than flapjacks. These are hotcakes or whatever the
- 16:35Speaker 4: expression used to be in the sixties. James, you have
- 16:37Speaker 4: a great morning, sir. Thanks showing you too, jcsgold dot com.
- 16:42Speaker 4: They've been around since the early sixties when the expression
- 16:45Speaker 4: was it's selling faster than hot cakes. There so doctor
- 16:49Speaker 4: Clark was on the line with us with a series
- 16:51Speaker 4: of inquisitives in quizing what is it with me this morning?
- 16:55Speaker 4: Maybe it's the full moon. I had the tongue. It's
- 16:58Speaker 4: like a rented tongue this morning, and it just doesn't
- 17:01Speaker 4: fit right in there. But you had some inquisitions for
- 17:05Speaker 4: us on a couple of the stories of the day,
- 17:07Speaker 4: so now we have a little time to dig in there. Specifically,
- 17:10Speaker 4: you asked about my using George Zimmerman as a comparison
- 17:15Speaker 4: to this Cole character who is the bomb planter. And
- 17:19Speaker 4: the reason I did that because these were cases where
- 17:24Speaker 4: important information either was ignored or left out until later
- 17:30Speaker 4: on when somebody came along and said, hey, did you
- 17:33Speaker 4: see this? I didn't know if you saw this or not,
- 17:36Speaker 4: and that was why I drew a comparison between the
- 17:39Speaker 4: two stories. Arthur Clark, Does that answer your question? Yeah, Joe.
- 17:44Speaker 6: And you know, at some point you gotta wonder if
- 17:50Speaker 6: a lot of this stuff is too coincidle for it
- 17:53Speaker 6: to be coincident.
- 17:55Speaker 4: Well, it's the other thing. You know, we talk about
- 17:58Speaker 4: whistleblowers all the time, and all these police departments have
- 18:04Speaker 4: inspector generals or IAD internal affairs. You know, they always
- 18:10Speaker 4: ask the men in blue to report police officers that
- 18:14Speaker 4: might be taking bribes or doing something, you know, behaving badly.
- 18:18Speaker 4: That's always the call is, you know, come anonymously, tell
- 18:22Speaker 4: us this might be going on. We'll start an investigation.
- 18:25Speaker 4: When is the hierarchy of these police departments in the
- 18:30Speaker 4: square circle for that, because that, to me is where
- 18:33Speaker 4: you need to be looking. Is when you know the
- 18:37Speaker 4: police chief sits on evidence or says don't look, don't
- 18:41Speaker 4: investigate that guy. You know, he's just a kid living
- 18:44Speaker 4: with his mom. Leave him alone. He's some at the time,
- 18:47Speaker 4: twenty five year old, you know. And so there had
- 18:51Speaker 4: to have been a decision because, as cash ptel I
- 18:55Speaker 4: played the clip a little while ago, this was all
- 18:58Speaker 4: stuff that they just found laying around the FBI headquarters.
- 19:02Speaker 4: I don't know if it was in the mysterious burn
- 19:04Speaker 4: bag or not, but they found most of the stuff
- 19:07Speaker 4: was already there. They just had to go through it.
- 19:10Speaker 6: Yeah, so let's do some coincidences and George Zimmerman. In
- 19:18Speaker 6: the George Zimmerman case, I believe the main attorney for
- 19:22Speaker 6: the trayvon Martin family was Ben Crump. Now Ben Crump
- 19:31Speaker 6: just happens to be apparently according to what I'm reading,
- 19:34Speaker 6: a friend of Pam bondy mm hmm, suborn persury from
- 19:45Speaker 6: the supposed girlfriend slash phone witness, neither of what she
- 19:52Speaker 6: ever was, and apparently she's a little mentally challenged or something. Yeah,
- 20:00Speaker 6: before that in the Trayvon Martin case. Now we've got
- 20:04Speaker 6: a thing here where Brian Cole Junior, who according to
- 20:11Speaker 6: what I'm reading, has faced some challenges mentally, is the
- 20:17Speaker 6: d C bomber. Now his dad is Brian Cole, who's
- 20:26Speaker 6: been his attorney when he's been represented when the Beilsboond
- 20:29Speaker 6: things in krump I swear Joe every time we turn around.
- 20:38Speaker 6: There's not six degrees of separation. There's about a half
- 20:41Speaker 6: or two there one degree of separation. They ain't much
- 20:45Speaker 6: degree of separation.
- 20:46Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like those five people on the planet and
- 20:49Speaker 4: they're all interacting with each other.
- 20:52Speaker 6: It's too coincidal to be coincidental.
- 20:56Speaker 4: Yeah, No, make you wonder. It should make you wonder,
- 21:04Speaker 4: and that's why you want, you know, And maybe this
- 21:06Speaker 4: is part of this whole supposed schism between Bondi and Patel,
- 21:11Speaker 4: you know at d O J and that the you know,
- 21:13Speaker 4: she doesn't like him and he doesn't like her, and
- 21:16Speaker 4: and that there's there's acrimony going on and this. But
- 21:22Speaker 4: I deny some of this because it's the gleeful reporting
- 21:26Speaker 4: of the people who you know, want to do the
- 21:28Speaker 4: Pete Hegseith stuff. And Trump doesn't know what he's doing,
- 21:31Speaker 4: and he's picking idiots and he they they're screwing up
- 21:35Speaker 4: everything because they don't know what they're doing. Yet the
- 21:37Speaker 4: screw ups were under the Biden administration. And Lloyd Austin
- 21:43Speaker 4: not Lloyd Doest. He's a sector of Merrick Garland. And
- 21:46Speaker 4: and these people were supposedly the best of the best.
- 21:49Speaker 4: Merrick Garland was on the short list to be a
- 21:52Speaker 4: Supreme Court justice. You can't impugne his his gravitas in
- 21:58Speaker 4: these matters, surely know.

- 28:15Speaker 2: On a need to know basis, because you need to
- 28:18Speaker 2: know the first thing today.
- 28:25Speaker 4: He is rent free. We gotta be careful if Trump's
- 28:32Speaker 4: living rent free in your head, he might try to
- 28:34Speaker 4: remodel it. Just saying, just saying, there's some peril to
- 28:40Speaker 4: letting Donald J. Trump live rent free in your decision
- 28:44Speaker 4: making cortex, because he don't I like this. Let's tear
- 28:51Speaker 4: it all down and build something beautiful. I do a
- 28:55Speaker 4: bad Trump. I think it's because of the proximity to
- 28:58Speaker 4: where he grew up. I could do it Bill Clinton
- 29:03Speaker 4: thought of Bill Clinton. Well, doctor Clark was talking about,
- 29:05Speaker 4: you know, the issue with the whistleblowers whose whistles getting
- 29:08Speaker 4: blown to juckle to myself about that. I'm sure you
- 29:12Speaker 4: didn't mean that that way, Dr Clark. Uh, But you
- 29:14Speaker 4: know we were talking about the Pete Hegseith expose.
- 29:19Speaker 6: Uh.
- 29:19Speaker 4: And this this nothing burger and truly in stunning only
- 29:24Speaker 4: in DC fashion, is this nothing burger and nothing because
- 29:28Speaker 4: the ig you know, even though you know, in his
- 29:31Speaker 4: testimony said didn't do anything wrong, didn't break any rules,
- 29:42Speaker 4: didn't have you know, you know, he probably shouldn't have
- 29:45Speaker 4: done it. But you know that's that and all the
- 29:48Speaker 4: news media and there's a reason to why the news
- 29:51Speaker 4: media is covering it in certain ways because if you
- 29:53Speaker 4: read the stories, the stories don't match the headlines. But
- 29:56Speaker 4: here's the new trick. It's not just about clickbait. It's
- 30:01Speaker 4: about AI AI manipulation. So if you write a headline
- 30:06Speaker 4: and this needs to be something we need to look
- 30:07Speaker 4: into regarding slander defamation, and I don't know if there
- 30:13Speaker 4: are attorneys out there that are willing to kind of
- 30:16Speaker 4: shoulder this me as a lay person in a country
- 30:19Speaker 4: where the lay people were supposed to I was talking
- 30:23Speaker 4: about lay people. No, Hillary, I'm just listening to this
- 30:27Speaker 4: talk show host. We lay people in the United States.
- 30:32Speaker 4: We're supposed to be able to understand our law without
- 30:36Speaker 4: a lawyer's billable hours being spent on it. It's one
- 30:42Speaker 4: of the perversions of quote the system that the legal
- 30:47Speaker 4: the judicial system was supposed to be simple enough that
- 30:54Speaker 4: the regular guy could understand. But now we're in this world.
- 30:57Speaker 4: Was Harvey Silverglade's wonderful book, Three Felonies a Day, Show
- 31:03Speaker 4: me the man, I'll show you the crime. If our
- 31:05Speaker 4: world is mirroring statements by Joseph Stalin, I think we
- 31:10Speaker 4: have a problem on the bridge. So that you know,
- 31:18Speaker 4: these are the kind of things we're talking about. And
- 31:20Speaker 4: the Pete Hegseith magic trick, which you know, like I said,
- 31:25Speaker 4: the magician's real trick is making you not notice what's
- 31:33Speaker 4: really going on. So you know, Mark Warner's reelection campaign
- 31:38Speaker 4: and all these folks who are you know, jumping up
- 31:40Speaker 4: and down about an IG's report that says Pete Hexeth
- 31:44Speaker 4: did nothing wrong. Is the classic significant sound and fury
- 31:52Speaker 4: signifying nothing.
- 31:53Speaker 6: Well on Trump not knowing what he's doing, Joe.
- 31:56Speaker 4: Right, And that's what it is. As I said, it's
- 31:59Speaker 4: it's it's back to General Flynn. You know in the NSA. Oh,
- 32:05Speaker 4: the guy's a buffoon, he's an outsider. This is why
- 32:08Speaker 4: you don't elect outsiders.
- 32:10Speaker 6: Somebody made the observation one time that sometimes it takes
- 32:14Speaker 6: a genius to play the fool.
- 32:17Speaker 4: Or they're just trying to make him out to be
- 32:19Speaker 4: the fool because they realize that he's already three moves
- 32:22Speaker 4: ahead of them.
- 32:25Speaker 6: Well, and you know how he stays three moves ahead
- 32:27Speaker 6: of them. He takes them spun up, or keeps them
- 32:30Speaker 6: spun up about the stuff he wants them spun up about.
- 32:35Speaker 7: I E. P.
- 32:36Speaker 6: Headseeth right now, Well, he's doing more important things. But
- 32:41Speaker 6: they're too spun up about the sparkly shiny thing to
- 32:46Speaker 6: pay attention to what's really happening.
- 32:48Speaker 4: So what is really happening is this when we find
- 32:51Speaker 4: out that the Russians and the Ukrainians have signed a ceasefire. Yeah, oh,
- 32:58Speaker 4: by the way, you know, in Florida on the plane
- 33:01Speaker 4: flying back from Mari Lango.
- 33:04Speaker 6: The center, that money laundering scheme comes to an end,
- 33:07Speaker 6: the better off everybody is, sure, well except for the
- 33:10Speaker 6: people that are profiting tremendously from it. But more importantly
- 33:15Speaker 6: from that, you know, who would you say the most
- 33:23Speaker 6: existential threats to our way of life are right now?
- 33:26Speaker 4: I would say.
- 33:29Speaker 6: Leftism and probably there's a Lomo fascism.
- 33:37Speaker 4: Well it depends, and again you know this, doctor Cargan,
- 33:40Speaker 4: And thank you for playing along with previous editions of

- 34:10Speaker 4: Thomas in the Morning dot com and there's a link
- 34:12Speaker 4: there you can pick and choose which distribution web for
- 34:16Speaker 4: our podcast that are. But that's very the very thing
- 34:19Speaker 4: I brought up earlier in the week, which is what
- 34:21Speaker 4: is our way of life sixty years? So understand the mathematics,
- 34:29Speaker 4: the arithmetic of sixty years since the Great Society started.
- 34:33Speaker 4: And it's not a zero sum game because you have
- 34:38Speaker 4: opportunity and peril. It's the same with anything in the world.
- 34:43Speaker 4: The opportunity is to go to the black community like
- 34:46Speaker 4: Donald Trump has, and the Latino community like Donald Trump has,
- 34:50Speaker 4: and smart people who do what they see and subtext
- 34:56Speaker 4: pause insert subtexts here. There are an awful lot of
- 35:01Speaker 4: people who want to get elected to office who think
- 35:03Speaker 4: they can just copy what Donald Trump does, and they
- 35:09Speaker 4: don't get it. And it's too easy to just say
- 35:13Speaker 4: only Donald Trump can do what Donald Trump does. But
- 35:16Speaker 4: what we do because we're lazy, is we don't actually
- 35:20Speaker 4: look for the essence of what it is Donald Trump does.
- 35:25Speaker 4: Because Donald Trump appears to be talking off the cuff
- 35:28Speaker 4: when you realize the things he's talking about are things
- 35:31Speaker 4: he's been well briefed about and he knows well enough
- 35:34Speaker 4: to speak off the cuff about them. But because he
- 35:40Speaker 4: speaks off the cuff, not standing at a podium with
- 35:43Speaker 4: his teleprompter telling him what to say, people are, oh,
- 35:46Speaker 4: he's just yeah, he's just making crap up as he
- 35:48Speaker 4: goes along. There's no evidence or you know, I've never
- 35:52Speaker 4: seen any report this anyway back to the point I
- 35:55Speaker 4: was making, what is our way of life? Trump went
- 36:01Speaker 4: into the black community in the Latino community, said, sixty
- 36:05Speaker 4: years of the great society, we have four times as
- 36:08Speaker 4: many poor people. We've talked about the war on poverty.
- 36:12Speaker 4: That's what Lyndon Johnson called it. We're declaring war on poverty. Well,
- 36:17Speaker 4: if our efforts in World War two had created four
- 36:22Speaker 4: times as many Nazis, stop stop, don't even start, that's
- 36:27Speaker 4: a whole other story. If we had four times as
- 36:30Speaker 4: many Nazis as we did at the beginning of World
- 36:33Speaker 4: War two, we'd say probably not a success. But sixty
- 36:39Speaker 4: years also is how many generations, three generations of people
- 36:44Speaker 4: raised in this government school's indoctrinative system of having something
- 36:53Speaker 4: as bad, sharing something is good, earning something as bad,
- 36:58Speaker 4: giving it away is good. So one of the bothered
- 37:05Speaker 4: some things about Charlie Kirk was how easy it was
- 37:08Speaker 4: for him to dprogram twenty two and twenty one year
- 37:13Speaker 4: olds that had been thirteen years through that indoctrinative process.
- 37:20Speaker 4: But you really have just like you really have to
- 37:22Speaker 4: sit down and look at what Donald Trump does if
- 37:25Speaker 4: you want to run for office or just exist in
- 37:28Speaker 4: the zeitgeist as somebody who is a truth teller and societally,
- 37:38Speaker 4: doctor Clark, you're talking about what are existential threats to
- 37:41Speaker 4: our way of life. Let's spend some time first determining
- 37:45Speaker 4: what that way of life is. Because you've got an
- 37:49Speaker 4: awful lot of people, not a majority, but an awful
- 37:52Speaker 4: lot of them that believe our way of life is
- 37:55Speaker 4: there are prosperous people in this country, and we're not
- 37:58Speaker 4: one of them, so we want that stuff.

- 40:59Speaker 27: Hiverybody, Jack Hannah and it's always a boy. Growing up
- 41:02Speaker 27: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 41:05Speaker 27: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
- 41:07Speaker 27: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 41:09Speaker 27: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 41:13Speaker 27: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 41:15Speaker 27: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 41:18Speaker 27: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 41:21Speaker 27: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 41:23Speaker 27: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 41:26Speaker 27: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 41:30Speaker 27: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 41:33Speaker 27: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
- 41:36Speaker 27: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
- 41:38Speaker 27: from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
- 41:42Speaker 27: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
- 41:44Speaker 27: variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
- 41:47Speaker 27: help those in need. So please join me an American
- 41:50Speaker 27: Humane and supporting our heroic working dogs and all the
- 41:53Speaker 27: amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go to
- 41:56Speaker 27: American Humane dot org to learn more.

- 42:05Speaker 19: And now a speech.
- 42:07Speaker 16: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
- 42:11Speaker 16: art and brain.
- 42:12Speaker 4: Who's with me?
- 42:13Speaker 12: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
- 42:16Speaker 12: brain is saying when it's time to go home.

- 42:23Speaker 17: call for a ride when it's time to go home.

- 43:33Speaker 14: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
- 43:36Speaker 14: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
- 43:41Speaker 14: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern,

- 44:36Speaker 4: This it taps into something Joel. Joel talked about the
- 44:40Speaker 4: influence of George Soros and his money and money, money, money, money,
- 44:46Speaker 4: filthy lucre and and what what happens behind the door,
- 44:51Speaker 4: and should there be a door? And what is our
- 44:54Speaker 4: way of life? Why? Just yesterday the smell of maple
- 44:58Speaker 4: syrup and mothballs was in the air as everyone's favorite cromudgeon,
- 45:07Speaker 4: Jackie Mason, I mean, Senator Bernie Sanders was in town.
- 45:11Speaker 4: My friends, it's a local CBS affiliate because Robert Costa
- 45:16Speaker 4: was a master of ceremonies for this. So our friends
- 45:20Speaker 4: at our CBS affiliate covering it.
- 45:22Speaker 25: So was a packed theater with students and community members
- 45:26Speaker 25: listening to Senator Bernie Sanders discussed some of the key
- 45:29Speaker 25: concerns he has shaping the direction of American democracy today.
- 45:33Speaker 4: And by the way, democracy democratsy remember how it's pronounced.
- 45:38Speaker 26: Thank Wait a minute, sixty percent of us are struggling
- 45:42Speaker 26: to put food on the table. Will live in paycheck
- 45:44Speaker 26: to paycheck. We can't afford healthcare, can't afford housing. And
- 45:49Speaker 26: now you've got a government which is run by billionaire
- 45:51Speaker 26: AI and robotics may nobody knows for suaw wipe out
- 45:57Speaker 26: tens and tens of millions of jobs.
- 46:00Speaker 4: And I love this kind of stuff. This is just
- 46:02Speaker 4: like red meat for a vegan.
- 46:05Speaker 2: Uh.
- 46:05Speaker 4: But it's first off, it's the government run by billionaires
- 46:10Speaker 4: like me. Trust me, I know. I'm a billionaire. And
- 46:12Speaker 4: it's great. My book is about the oligarchy. I know
- 46:16Speaker 4: because I'm one of the oligarchs. Oh my god, this
- 46:20Speaker 4: guy and of course Robert Costo might as well have
- 46:22Speaker 4: just been Tiger Woods caddy at the Masters. It's walking
- 46:26Speaker 4: around there, you know, given one of those Masters Golf
- 46:29Speaker 4: tournament vests, the sanders on the back, and you know
- 46:35Speaker 4: some of it. And this is the the darkness of it.
- 46:41Speaker 3: Is.
- 46:42Speaker 4: You know, there is reality. This is what they do.
- 46:45Speaker 4: They take truthiness and they put it into their rhetoric
- 46:50Speaker 4: so that the you know, and so this bit is
- 46:52Speaker 4: got some merriats.
- 46:54Speaker 26: Sixty percent of us are struggling to put food on
- 46:57Speaker 26: the table, will living paycheck the paycheck.
- 46:59Speaker 4: Week, and by the way a quick note, ninety two
- 47:02Speaker 4: percent of all statistics are made up on the spot,
- 47:05Speaker 4: just saying, but you know that is not an inaccurate depiction.
- 47:10Speaker 4: More and more Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, can't.
- 47:13Speaker 26: Afford healthcare, can't afford housing. And now you've got a
- 47:18Speaker 26: government which is run by billion other day like me.
- 47:22Speaker 4: So he puts in the truthiness, you know, the things
- 47:26Speaker 4: that aren't false, and is expecting people like me to
- 47:31Speaker 4: go the sheer weight of Bernie Sanders massive Marxism. He's
- 47:37Speaker 4: been to Moscow, he's he's bathed in the glow of
- 47:42Speaker 4: the polit borrow. He knows, oh please, And this is
- 47:50Speaker 4: why the oldest q tip in Washington is a darling
- 47:55Speaker 4: of the twenty somethings who up until a year or
- 47:58Speaker 4: so ago had making their bed for him, just like
- 48:02Speaker 4: the accused bomber in Washington, d C. And we'll get
- 48:13Speaker 4: back into that in a little bit, but the question remains,
- 48:16Speaker 4: and this is where I brought Bernie up here, not
- 48:19Speaker 4: just because he was here in our hometown at the
- 48:21Speaker 4: University of Virginia Center for Getting Larry Sabado mentioned on
- 48:26Speaker 4: the evening news again, what is our way of life
- 48:34Speaker 4: back to doctor Clark's existential question, who are threats to
- 48:39Speaker 4: our way of life? Well, the first way you figure
- 48:42Speaker 4: that out is figure out what is our way of life.
- 48:45Speaker 4: People who believe in Bernie Sanders say you and I
- 48:48Speaker 4: are a threat to their way of life because we
- 48:50Speaker 4: say the government shouldn't be giving you handouts. The government
- 48:56Speaker 4: is making it worse under the banner of men making
- 49:00Speaker 4: it better. Predictably. Let's not forget Ronald Reagan. The ink
- 49:10Speaker 4: wasn't even dry on the Great Society proposals. There wasn't
- 49:15Speaker 4: even all the legislation in place yet on the Great Society.
- 49:23Speaker 4: Lyndon Johnson had barely spoken of the Great Society when
- 49:27Speaker 4: Ronald Reagan stood before a crowd of people and talked
- 49:31Speaker 4: about how the do gooders were making things worse than
- 49:34Speaker 4: they have done better. And of course the famous qo't
- 49:37Speaker 4: know that.
- 49:38Speaker 7: I've always felt the nine most terrifying words in the
- 49:42Speaker 7: English language are I'm from the government and I'm here
- 49:46Speaker 7: to help.
- 49:48Speaker 4: So when Reagan gives his time for choosing speech, the
- 49:52Speaker 4: Great Society is barely but a twinkle in some people's eyes.
- 49:57Speaker 4: And he was warning us here we are sixty years
- 50:02Speaker 4: into it, and too many of us have forgotten what
- 50:05Speaker 4: the American way of life is, and they'll point to
- 50:09Speaker 4: things like the Great Depression. Wow, we need the Federal
- 50:12Speaker 4: Reserve because of the Great Depression. Joe, Federal Reserve existed
- 50:18Speaker 4: before the Great Depression. What I thought they went to
- 50:22Speaker 4: Wallops Island for the No Wallops Island was the reserve
- 50:26Speaker 4: currency or mixing it? Oh, but it's to protect the
- 50:30Speaker 4: banking system. How does that work so far? I mentioned
- 50:34Speaker 4: a quick story American spectator Bill Gates has abandoned climate
- 50:40Speaker 4: change because he's discovered, you know, it's more profitable to
- 50:44Speaker 4: work in the private sector on things. And the difference
- 50:48Speaker 4: between Bill Gates, the money behind the Green New Deal
- 50:54Speaker 4: and all this stuff is that it was the difference
- 50:57Speaker 4: between easy money and luke creative money. And it's not
- 51:06Speaker 4: to say greed or anything like that, but when the
- 51:09Speaker 4: government says we'll do these programs, we want your nonprofit
- 51:13Speaker 4: to be a pass through of it, keep what you
- 51:15Speaker 4: need to administer your business. That's great because you get
- 51:19Speaker 4: very little oversight because all you have to do is
- 51:21Speaker 4: say we're helping people, and nobody goes and looks to
- 51:24Speaker 4: see what your pass through rate or how much of
- 51:26Speaker 4: your taxpayer dollars are used appropriately or even get to
- 51:33Speaker 4: the results who claim you want to get to So
- 51:36Speaker 4: we have to time and time again. And I think
- 51:39Speaker 4: there's some podcasts up at Joe Thomas in the Morning
- 51:42Speaker 4: dot com with interview guests that we've had that have
- 51:45Speaker 4: talked about the essential parts of what is our way
- 51:51Speaker 4: of life, because right now our way of life is
- 51:54Speaker 4: a European style authoritarian autocracy, elected class telling us what
- 52:02Speaker 4: we can and can't do based on whether or not
- 52:05Speaker 4: we want the subsidy or go it on our own
- 52:08Speaker 4: on a few shekels that we can scrape together. I'm
- 52:14Speaker 4: trying to do something until the government says, hold it,
- 52:17Speaker 4: you're having way too much fun and making way too
- 52:19Speaker 4: much money. Like the homestay industry. Oh, the homestay industry
- 52:23Speaker 4: is a great example of what happens when the government says,
- 52:28Speaker 4: wait a second, here, you're making too much money doing that.
- 52:31Speaker 4: We don't have our hand in that cookie jar yet,
- 52:38Speaker 4: but don't forget.
- 52:39Speaker 28: You got to use a little truthiness before you start
- 52:42Speaker 28: making up statistics on the spot to make people go, oh,
- 52:46Speaker 28: this guy is brilliant. He must be from ver month.
- 52:51Speaker 2: My name is Bobby I'm a veteran and lost my
- 52:54Speaker 2: leg to a roadside bomb. My victory was going from
- 52:57Speaker 2: a wheelchair to becoming a weightlifting champion. I'm Sam. I'm

- 53:27Speaker 17: for victories great and small.

- 53:38Speaker 17: they face and conquer their challenges.
