Speaker 6: and folks like that. Uh. And then of course the
1:39
Speaker 6: thought leaders and the elected leaders. Rand Paul going to
1:42
Speaker 6: be out there, a few of the other libertarian leading Yeah,
1:45
Speaker 6: Tommy Massey is coming to and you know, we're going
1:54
Speaker 6: to try to make sure that the tag for the
1:56
Speaker 6: next two hundred and fifty years isn't what the Marxists want.
2:01
Speaker 6: The Marxists wanted to say, Okay, had a nice run
2:05
Speaker 6: two hundred and fifty years, very good, very good, but
2:08
Speaker 6: we need something new. People are poor. Government's got to
2:11
Speaker 6: take from the rich and give to the poor because
2:14
Speaker 6: we don't understand the Robin Hood myth. And besides, we've
2:18
Speaker 6: got Hugh Jackman ready to come out here. And even
2:21
Speaker 6: if you do start to catch on on the Robin
2:23
Speaker 6: Hood myth, he was a bad guy. That's why they're
2:27
Speaker 6: retelling Robin Hood is a bad guy, because too many
2:30
Speaker 6: of you realized, oh, Robin Hood was stealing from the
2:33
Speaker 6: government to give back to the taxpayers. Huh. See, Conservative
2:38
Speaker 6: radio was too successful in blowing up their silly Robin
2:43
Speaker 6: Hood myths, so now they have to make Robin Hood
2:45
Speaker 6: the bad man. Yeah. I'm not going to go see it.
2:52
Speaker 6: I like Hugh Jackman, but I just I don't need
2:55
Speaker 6: to see I'm a murderer. I don't see. I don't
3:00
Speaker 6: need it. They're retelling their histories and everything because they
3:04
Speaker 6: don't want you to think about people who take from
3:06
Speaker 6: the government and give back to the poor. Speaking of
3:12
Speaker 6: constitutional mandates and such, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and
3:17
Speaker 6: Explosives b A tfe fate is rewritten its rules under
3:25
Speaker 6: Executive Order fourteen to two oh six, cutting back on
3:31
Speaker 6: all sorts of firearm regulations, while several states find themselves
3:35
Speaker 6: waiting for state or federal Supreme Court rulings on gun
3:40
Speaker 6: grabs going on in places like Virginia and Connecticut. Leakers
3:46
Speaker 6: inside the planning of President Trump's trip to the NATO
3:50
Speaker 6: summit this week say he's going to meet with Vladimir Zelenski.
3:57
Speaker 6: Don't use my name the leakers. This one, I believe
4:02
Speaker 6: was like a strategic leak. But apparently the meeting is
4:05
Speaker 6: going to be about how we end the war. On
4:11
Speaker 6: the subject of the war Russia reigning death and destruction.
4:16
Speaker 6: Kiev yesterday killed eleven people injured sixty more in guided
4:24
Speaker 6: missile and drone attacks on the Ukrainian capital. One residential
4:33
Speaker 6: high rise came crashing down under a missile strike, speaking
4:36
Speaker 6: of high rises coming crashing down. The rubble continuing to
4:45
Speaker 6: be searched. In Venezuela after their twin earthquakes two weeks ago,
4:50
Speaker 6: anger is starting to bubble over, or at least get covered.
4:54
Speaker 6: New York Times reports the citizens in the city where
4:59
Speaker 6: the earthquakes took are mad At Nicholas Maduro and Hugo Chavez,
5:04
Speaker 6: who quote they were killed. These people weren't killed by
5:09
Speaker 6: the disaster. They were killed by the government, one man
5:11
Speaker 6: told The New York Times, because they built these buildings
5:15
Speaker 6: like garbage. The next round of US Iranian negotiations due
5:21
Speaker 6: to take place in Pakistan July eleventh. This according to
5:28
Speaker 6: reports that say the US has agreed to wait till

5:37
Speaker 6: Leader Ayatola Kameni. And those are just some of our
5:41
Speaker 6: first things. They're on the Talk media Network. One of
5:45
Speaker 6: our sponsors for our trip to Las Vegas, The Heritage
5:48
Speaker 6: Guide to Historic Sites.
5:51
Speaker 4: Every state is home to significant historic sites that tell
5:54
Speaker 4: the American story, but not every site is telling that
5:58
Speaker 4: story honestly and fairly. That's why the Heritage Foundation created
6:02
Speaker 4: the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites. This interactive guide equips
6:06
Speaker 4: American citizens with the tools they need to enjoy the
6:10
Speaker 4: sites that depict some of the greatest moments in our
6:12
Speaker 4: nation's history, analyzing them for historical accuracy, and provides resources
6:18
Speaker 4: for families or educators planning a visit. It currently covers
6:22
Speaker 4: over forty five sites in the thirteen original colonies, but
6:25
Speaker 4: sites from all fifty states will be added in time
6:28
Speaker 4: for citizens to celebrate America to fifty this summer. From
6:32
Speaker 4: Mount Vernon to Independence Hall to Gettysburg and more. Americans
6:37
Speaker 4: deserve transparency, and sites that steward our history faithfully deserve
6:42
Speaker 4: our gratitude. The Heritage Guide to Historic Sites invites every
6:45
Speaker 4: American to rediscover the places and stories that define our nation,
6:50

7:01
Speaker 8: You know a lot of times you have to choose
7:03
Speaker 8: between something high quality or.
7:05
Speaker 2: Something that saves you money.
7:07
Speaker 6: But what if you could get both?
7:08
Speaker 2: Why not?
7:09
Speaker 8: Especially when it comes to healthcare and that is Metashare
7:12
Speaker 8: you get both? Many families save five hundred bucks a
7:16
Speaker 8: month with Meta share and that's huge, But It's also
7:19
Speaker 8: true that people wind up way more satisfied too, and
7:21
Speaker 8: we know this from research of members. There's a lot
7:24
Speaker 8: they like about medshare, but especially they love being part
7:28
Speaker 8: of something they believe in, and Metashare works too, it
7:31
Speaker 8: has for more than thirty years. There are hundreds of
7:34
Speaker 8: thousands of members who love having telehealth.
7:37
Speaker 6: If they need it.
7:38
Speaker 8: They love the huge PPO network. You could save a
7:40
Speaker 8: ton and like it better. Imagine being happy with how
7:44
Speaker 8: you're taking care of your health care.
7:45
Speaker 6: So if you're self.

Speaker 8: right now and get a price in two minutes. Here's
7:52
Speaker 8: the number. Call eight five five Share forty. That's eight
7:56
Speaker 8: five five share forty, eight five five share forty.
8:11
Speaker 2: We've cut the cost of radio listening by all. It
8:14
Speaker 2: didn't cost anything in the first place, so let's.
8:16
Speaker 6: Say one million dollars.
8:20
Speaker 2: I'm calling even first thing today by Joe Thomas on
8:24
Speaker 2: the Talk Media Network.
8:25
Speaker 9: I think you all know that I've always felt the
8:28
Speaker 9: nine most terrifying words in the English language are I'm
8:33
Speaker 9: from the government and I'm here to help.
8:46
Speaker 2: Please.
8:48
Speaker 6: Are you ready for the next two hundred and fifty
8:51
Speaker 6: years because the battle lines are drawn the Marxists. The
8:56
Speaker 6: Marxists want the next two hundred and fifty years to
8:59
Speaker 6: be there time. Reagan knew it. Reagan knew it before
9:03
Speaker 6: the Great Society even had a chance to get passed.
9:08
Speaker 10: So deluded that public interest is almost anything a few
9:10
Speaker 10: government planners decide it should be in a program that
9:13
Speaker 10: takes from the needy and gives to the greedy. We
9:16
Speaker 10: see such spectacles as in Cleveland, Ohio, a million and
9:19
Speaker 10: a half dollar building completed only three years ago must
9:22
Speaker 10: be destroyed to make way for what government officials call
9:25
Speaker 10: a more compatible use of the land. The President tells
9:29
Speaker 10: us he's now going to start building public housing units
9:31
Speaker 10: in the thousands. We're heretofore we've only built them in
9:34
Speaker 10: the hundreds. But FAHA and the Veterans Administration tell us
9:38
Speaker 10: they have one hundred and twenty thousand housing units they've
9:41
Speaker 10: taken back through mortgage foreclosure. For three decades, we've sought
9:45
Speaker 10: to solve the problems of unemployment through government planning, and
9:48
Speaker 10: the more the plans fail, the more the planner's plan.
9:51
Speaker 10: The latest is the Area Redevelopment Agency. They've just declared
9:55
Speaker 10: Rice County, Kansas a depressed area. Rice County, Kansas has
9:59
Speaker 10: two hundred oil well and the fourteen thousand people there
10:01
Speaker 10: have over thirty million dollars on deposit in personal savings
10:05
Speaker 10: in their banks.
10:09
Speaker 6: Nineteen sixty four, they hadn't even passed the Great Society yet.
10:17
Speaker 6: Oh what if Reagan instead of Goldwater. I know people
10:25
Speaker 6: listening in Eloy, Arizona. I don't be a heretic, but
10:29
Speaker 6: even Barry Goldwater, by the time Barry Goldwater's life came
10:32
Speaker 6: to an end, had become a leftist out of the
10:37
Speaker 6: all two understandable dom delawiese reaction of.
10:41
Speaker 11: Not the face.
10:44
Speaker 6: Because you get hit enough times and you're like, you
10:47
Speaker 6: know it, just don't hit me in the face, please.
10:53
Speaker 6: I just want to be an elderly old Arizonan with
10:56
Speaker 6: my grandkids who I'm teaching to be Marxists as well,
11:01
Speaker 6: because I give up. And that's the sound. That's how
11:04
Speaker 6: liberty dies under the sound that thud. When you hear
11:08
Speaker 6: the thud, you realize the words I quit are there.
11:17
Speaker 6: And if this is an experiment and we're going into
11:20
Speaker 6: the next two hundred and fifty years of the experiment
11:27
Speaker 6: quitting and walking out of the lab is what Victor
11:29
Speaker 6: Frankenstein did. Or Frankenstein, he quit, walked out of the lab,
11:37
Speaker 6: and then the monster came to life. Do you want
11:41
Speaker 6: the monster chasing you because you quit and walked out
11:44
Speaker 6: of the lab before you realize what was going on,
11:48
Speaker 6: didn't think. So that's why you're here. And yeah, we'll
11:55
Speaker 6: satirize for their own protection. We've learned that it's safe
12:01
Speaker 6: and effective. Right, we don't take them seriously because in
12:07
Speaker 6: all of their puffery and all of their Marxism, the
12:10
Speaker 6: ones that we need to be afraid of are the
12:12
Speaker 6: ones who don't get upset when we mock them. Because
12:18
Speaker 6: the ones who don't get upset when we mock them,
12:21
Speaker 6: they're the true believers. They're the ones who go to
12:28
Speaker 6: sleep at night saying, whatever happens, I'm going to bring
12:31
Speaker 6: on authoritarian Marxism to concentrate power in the hands of
12:38
Speaker 6: a few, so that we can dictate to society, because
12:44
Speaker 6: society is a mess, a mess without us, even though
12:49
Speaker 6: it's because of us. Reagan knew it in nineteen sixty four,
12:53
Speaker 6: maybe Goldwater knew it in nineteen sixty four. But the
12:58
Speaker 6: fact remains that even as Lyndon Johnson talked about the
13:05
Speaker 6: you know, great society and how it was going to
13:13
Speaker 6: be this utopia really of prosperity for all, which of
13:23
Speaker 6: course is crazy.
13:24
Speaker 3: Far in your time, we have the opportunity to move
13:28
Speaker 3: not only towards the rich society and the powerful society,
13:33
Speaker 3: but upward to the great society. The great society rests
13:39
Speaker 3: on abundance and liberty for.
13:41
Speaker 6: All, which means none. And Reagan knew it. Reagan knew
13:45
Speaker 6: it when he took up and left the Democrat Party
13:48
Speaker 6: for Barry Goldwater's campaign. But can you imagine if Reagan
13:58
Speaker 6: took on Lyndon Johnson and maybe one what the sixties
14:03
Speaker 6: seventies would be like. Nixon never wins in sixty eight,
14:07
Speaker 6: Watergate doesn't happen. Of course, Reagan doesn't come along in seventy.
14:15
Speaker 6: But you know, do we deal with Iran before we
14:19
Speaker 6: have to wait for the Ayatola? What happens to the
14:21
Speaker 6: Soviet Union? Does Reagan come along too soon? And do
14:26
Speaker 6: we not battle the Soviet Union as harshly as we
14:28
Speaker 6: did at the very end? Does the Soviet Union survive
14:33
Speaker 6: because Reagan comes along too soon? I mean, I can
14:35
Speaker 6: look at it from both and the true.
14:37
Speaker 10: We're all on a diet. But now we're told that
14:41
Speaker 10: nine point three million families in this country are poverty
14:44
Speaker 10: stricken on the basis of earning less than three thousand
14:46
Speaker 10: dollars a year. Welfare spending ten times greater than it
14:50
Speaker 10: was in the dark depths of the depression. We're spending
14:53
Speaker 10: forty five billion dollars on welfare. Now, do a little arithmetic,
14:57
Speaker 10: and you'll find that if we divided the forty five
14:59
Speaker 10: d million dollars up equally among those nine million poor families,
15:03
Speaker 10: we'd be able to give each family forty six hundred
15:05
Speaker 10: dollars a year, and this, added to their present income,
15:08
Speaker 10: should eliminate poverty.
15:12
Speaker 6: I've done that arithmetic using modern numbers last year of
15:16
Speaker 6: the Biden administration. The arithmetic still pencils out if you
15:21
Speaker 6: if you gave everybody an equal share of the welfare spending,
15:31
Speaker 6: they wouldn't be poor anymore, at least by the standards
15:34
Speaker 6: is laid out. Good morning, you're on the air with Joe.
15:36
Speaker 6: First thing this morning? Who's this? This is Matt, Hey, Matt,
15:40
Speaker 6: how are you here this morning?
15:42
Speaker 7: I just wanted to note that I had an old
15:44
Speaker 7: friend who told me one time they told me back
15:48
Speaker 7: in nineteen sixty four if I voted for Bury Gold War,
15:52
Speaker 7: the country would go completely to hell. Well they were right,
15:56
Speaker 7: I did, and it did.
16:01
Speaker 6: You love it when you can look back and say, well,
16:02
Speaker 6: at least I was right. It is right. Good stuff, man,
16:08
Speaker 6: How are you doing. Do you have a good Independence Day?
16:11
Speaker 6: It wasn't bad.
16:13
Speaker 7: I did as little as possible because it was hodtered
16:15
Speaker 7: in hell.
16:16
Speaker 6: Yes it was. Trust me. I'm feeling the aches and
16:20
Speaker 6: pains of somebody who walked like an hour and a
16:22
Speaker 6: half in a parade, jumping around and extolling people to
16:26
Speaker 6: get ready for the next two fifty. Come on, maybe
16:29
Speaker 6: the first two fifty was so easy. Let's do it.
16:31
Speaker 6: It was like I felt like it was like a
16:32
Speaker 6: five K. Come on, we've already done five K. Let's
16:35
Speaker 6: do ten. Let's you know. I don't know, I just
16:38
Speaker 6: it's the muse struck me as I was walking in
16:41
Speaker 6: the Stanton, Virginia parade just to be a little so hard.
16:47
Speaker 7: In some ways, I am quite happy that my parade
16:50
Speaker 7: marching days are done.
16:53
Speaker 6: I know, I still kind of have fun messing around
16:56
Speaker 6: with the people.
16:57

17:01
Speaker 11: school systems? And lousy service. Strong Tell cuts your phone

18:07
Speaker 2: Quit for you. From Joe Thomas. It's first thing today.
18:14
Speaker 1: No people have done more good, shown more courage, made
18:19
Speaker 1: more progress, righted more injustice, or achieved more greatness than you,
18:24
Speaker 1: the American people.
18:27
Speaker 6: He's so true in that, you know, and it's the
18:29
Speaker 6: American people that make the American country. It isn't by
18:33
Speaker 6: dictator of the government. It's my allowance by the protection
18:38
Speaker 6: of your efforts, you know. And there's what boys, we
18:43
Speaker 6: were talking about commerce, and we're talking about industry and
18:46
Speaker 6: building a better mousetrap is always the analogy I try
18:50
Speaker 6: to make. Most of us are not going to build
18:52
Speaker 6: a better mousetrap. I didn't invent radio. I ply my
18:59
Speaker 6: trade in radio, and now I own radio, and I
19:04
Speaker 6: try to employ people in radio. But I didn't invent it.
19:09
Speaker 6: I'm just trying to put my little stamp on it
19:11
Speaker 6: where I can. And that's the thing. You know, you
19:14
Speaker 6: don't have to be mister Lee and his ancient Chinese
19:17
Speaker 6: secret to clean people's shirts. That's a nod to an
19:21
Speaker 6: old Kalgon commercial, by the way, if you're looking. But
19:29
Speaker 6: you can work for the guy who does. Maybe you
19:33
Speaker 6: believe that hybrid cars are going to be the future,
19:36
Speaker 6: and you know, having electric generators or you know, gasoline
19:40
Speaker 6: powered generators is the best way to get to a
19:42
Speaker 6: place where we're not burning gasoline to drive ourselves around. Okay,
19:49
Speaker 6: maybe maybe you want to find a way to, you know,
19:52
Speaker 6: eliminate big corporations from our propellers. You think there are
20:03
Speaker 6: too few, you know, companies that produce the things you
20:07
Speaker 6: need to drive around. Well, there's always biodiesel. You smell
20:16
Speaker 6: like French fries when you drive by, and if you
20:20
Speaker 6: know you're happy on the wacky tobacco like Willie Nelson.
20:24
Speaker 6: Smell like French fries. Is good for the munchies, isn't it. Oh?
20:28
Speaker 6: By the way, Cely out in the Four Corners says
20:33
Speaker 6: they're waiting for the monsoons out here on the western slope.
20:38
Speaker 6: I asked him if his fields were okay. So yes,
20:41
Speaker 6: my field and structures are clear of trees and other combustibles.
20:45
Speaker 6: But there are fires in one hundred and eighty degree
20:48
Speaker 6: arc around Dolores, Colorado. So yeah, he's out there.
20:53
Speaker 12: Is it?
20:53
Speaker 6: KVFC out in the Four Corners? And I appreciate it, Seely,
20:59
Speaker 6: And I'm telling you his CBD oil, it's incredible. I'd
21:02
Speaker 6: used a lot of it this morning after I walked
21:05
Speaker 6: in the parade here in Stanton, Virginia for our flagship station.
21:11
Speaker 6: And I'm not so much sure about the sunburn I
21:13
Speaker 6: got on my face, but definitely my legs are feeling it.
21:17
Speaker 6: So definitely glad to have some of your fine CBD
21:21
Speaker 6: oil that you squeeze out there in Colorado. But the
21:27
Speaker 6: idea that you're not going to you know, seally didn't
21:30
Speaker 6: invent the idea of well maybe he did. I don't
21:33
Speaker 6: know who first thought of the idea of extracting CBD
21:37
Speaker 6: oil for its pain relieving Maybe seely you know, if
21:43
Speaker 6: it was you, it's an honor to know you. Because
21:46
Speaker 6: so much was being learned about CTE and pain management.
21:51
Speaker 6: Even National Football League players and all their money couldn't
21:57
Speaker 6: buy pain relief. They found ways to do it. And
22:00
Speaker 6: they said, well, it's an inebriate how do we take
22:03
Speaker 6: the inebriation out of it? And they said, well, let's
22:06
Speaker 6: distill it to the things that are hitting the pain receptors. Well,
22:10
Speaker 6: it's certainly better than some of the pharmaceutical pain relievers
22:17
Speaker 6: that are out there. But we watched the pharmaceutical industry
22:20
Speaker 6: marshal its money rather than competing. Rather than saying, hey,
22:26
Speaker 6: people seem to like this less pharmaceutical way, they said, Wow,
22:30
Speaker 6: we'll just get the government just stop it. That's what
22:34
Speaker 6: we'll do. Just like in two hundred and fifty years
22:40
Speaker 6: ago when South Carolina, compelled by their business leaders, the
22:47
Speaker 6: plantation owners, who had to be fair. And you have
22:51
Speaker 6: to look at both sides of even a heinous argument,
22:55
Speaker 6: you say, how can somebody defend the slave trade? There
22:58
Speaker 6: or quite a few people who still didn't believe that
23:00
Speaker 6: they were capable. There were people human beings who took
23:09
Speaker 6: no interest in knowing anything about their slaves, just believed
23:15
Speaker 6: them to be nothing more than farm animals. And you
23:17
Speaker 6: wouldn't anymore let loose all of your slaves, and you
23:20
Speaker 6: would all over your horses on your farm. That was
23:23
Speaker 6: their belief. Understanding it makes you understand that you know
23:29
Speaker 6: whether it was illicit or not. Thomas Jefferson's relationship with
23:36
Speaker 6: not just Sally, but most of the Hemings family at
23:39
Speaker 6: Monticello taught him that these were people of great character
23:43
Speaker 6: and great intellect if given the opportunities, and he became
23:49
Speaker 6: one of the forebearers of that idea that no, this
23:52
Speaker 6: was not the case, but be that as it made.
23:55
Speaker 6: The South Carolinians had invested money. If you want to
24:01
Speaker 6: understand their reaction, a good bit of it was the
24:04
Speaker 6: same as let's say I spend a whole bunch of
24:07
Speaker 6: money to move my radio transmitter, which is true, we're
24:10
Speaker 6: coming close to the end of that, only to have
24:13
Speaker 6: the government come along and say, oh, we're taking that
24:16
Speaker 6: frequency away from you to give to someone else, or
24:21
Speaker 6: to open it up to whoever wants to show up
24:24
Speaker 6: and plug into the transmitter. I might say, hold on
24:31
Speaker 6: a second here, I just spent a whole bunch of money.
24:33
Speaker 6: It's an eminent domain, mister Thomas, thank you very much.
24:37
Speaker 6: We're taking it for the public good. Seay just wrote
24:46
Speaker 6: in Big Pill Sow's fear uncertainty, in doubt their three
24:50
Speaker 6: biggest allies. No one expects the Spanish inquisition our chief
24:55
Speaker 6: Our chief weapon is fear, fear uncertainty. Our two biggest
25:02
Speaker 6: weapons are fear uncertainty and doubt. And all right, I'm
25:06
Speaker 6: going to come back in no what expends the pharmaceutical inquisition?
25:11
Speaker 6: And I understand that they've invested. By the point I
25:14
Speaker 6: was making about slavery is the pharmaceutical industry has invested
25:18
Speaker 6: a lot of money, and they've asked a lot of
25:21
Speaker 6: people on Wall Street to invest a lot of money
25:24
Speaker 6: into what they do. And it's sadly myopic that these
25:30
Speaker 6: leaders in these companies, rather than looking into their marketplace.
25:34
Speaker 6: Let's say, for example, let's say everyone on the planet
25:39
Speaker 6: stopped listening to talk radio, not because the government told
25:42
Speaker 6: them to. But because we stopped serving our purpose, which
25:45
Speaker 6: is to get your day started, make you think a
25:49
Speaker 6: little bit, maybe compel you to. Oh, I had thought
25:51
Speaker 6: about that. But if people just got bored with it.
25:58
Speaker 6: The doomsayers in social media, you know, keeps claiming radio
26:03
Speaker 6: is dead. Yet radio has more listeners now than they've
26:06
Speaker 6: ever had. But maybe one day the doomsayers will be
26:09
Speaker 6: right and people are like, yeah, I'm just gonna listen
26:12
Speaker 6: to podcasts. At some point. It would be because radio
26:18
Speaker 6: didn't innovate. It's what newspapers did. Craigslist comes along and
26:22
Speaker 6: newspapers said, where all the newspapers, we don't need to
26:25
Speaker 6: worry about that are classifieds are very popular because they were.
26:30
Speaker 6: They were the cash cow. Newspapers ran unclassified. You paid
26:35
Speaker 6: a lot to get a classified ad in your local paper,
26:38
Speaker 6: and it didn't cost them a lot to generate it.
26:43
Speaker 6: It was a huge cash cow. Craigslist comes along and
26:47
Speaker 6: all of a sudden, all the newspapers are watching twenty
26:50
Speaker 6: thirty forty fifty percent declines and they're classified advertising. All
26:56
Speaker 6: of a sudden, they start to cut reporters because reporters
27:00
Speaker 6: we're expensive. Even back in the days of Karl Marx
27:03
Speaker 6: and his munificent salary was twenty five dollars per story.
27:11
Speaker 6: Are we paying more than that for stringers these days?
27:16
Speaker 6: I imagine for the New York Times you are because
27:22
Speaker 6: businesses don't want to innovate or look at their customer.
27:26
Speaker 6: They want to be able to tell the customer what
27:28
Speaker 6: it is they want. They feel that's because then they
27:31
Speaker 6: can go back to the quarterly report and say, this
27:35
Speaker 6: is what we've done, or this is what we plan
27:37
Speaker 6: to do. Please sign more checks to invest in us,
27:41
Speaker 6: rather than saying, hey, we've noticed that a lot of
27:43
Speaker 6: people are looking for non pharmaceutical ways to ease pain,
27:47
Speaker 6: and here's the division we've launched to figure out a
27:51
Speaker 6: way that we can do that for them because we
27:53
Speaker 6: are Dow Chemical or whatever.
27:57
Speaker 8: Life can change so abruptly.
28:00
Speaker 6: Just ask Paul.
28:01
Speaker 8: He's a hard working entrepreneur, he's young, he's got a
28:04
Speaker 8: young family. Suddenly, though, he develops a rare medical condition
28:07
Speaker 8: where he lost the use of both of his arms.
28:10
Speaker 13: I could no longer drive a car, couldn't use a computer,
28:12
Speaker 13: could type, couldn't use a mouse. I could not hold
28:14
Speaker 13: my son, who was about a month old.
28:16
Speaker 8: Paul and his family were facing a mountain of medical bills.
28:19
Speaker 8: But they're so thankful that they're members of Meta Share.
28:23
Speaker 13: I think if someone asked me, like, hey, does medicare
28:26
Speaker 13: really were I'm living proof that it works. My four
28:29
Speaker 13: children are living proof that it works. My arms, which
28:32
Speaker 13: have been healed, are living proof that menashare works. Just
28:36
Speaker 13: knowing the emotional peace of mind, knowing that our needs
28:38
Speaker 13: are going to be taken care of when we have
28:40
Speaker 13: some type of medical problem, that is such a huge
28:42
Speaker 13: blessing to us.
28:43
Speaker 8: It could be a huge blessing to you to people
28:46
Speaker 8: save so much and love being part of Meta share.
28:49
Speaker 8: Call now eight five five Share forty. That's eight five
28:52

29:07
Speaker 2: News and Analysis now without artificial colors. First Thing Today
29:12
Speaker 2: by Joe Thomas on the talk media network.
29:15
Speaker 11: Pallis Kamlingen Hanna, I'm talking a risk.
29:25
Speaker 3: Send yours guns and money dead, get me out of
29:32
Speaker 3: this half.
29:35
Speaker 6: You know, Mason, one of the things I love about
29:38
Speaker 6: j Mason is you've seen it. You know it's bad
29:40
Speaker 6: enough he has to live in the People's Republic of Charlottesville.
29:44
Speaker 6: But you know, one of the things about you, Mason
29:46
Speaker 6: is is all your trips and I mentioned earlier all
29:49
Speaker 6: your trips to Cuba, and you love that island so
29:54
Speaker 6: much and you always bring back the stories of the
29:56
Speaker 6: people down there.
29:58
Speaker 12: Are you an interesting story about that? What's going on
30:01
Speaker 12: with that movement to make Cuba open? And it's well,
30:07
Speaker 12: I'm not going to name the city, Okay, it's not Havanah.
30:10
Speaker 12: And I know, I've just got to know lots of
30:14
Speaker 12: people all the time. I go between one month and
30:16
Speaker 12: three months each time, so you get to know people.
30:18
Speaker 6: Sure. And I met a woman.
30:22
Speaker 12: She had this most different job in all of Cuba,
30:26
Speaker 12: and this is about a dozen years ago. Her job
30:30
Speaker 12: was to start capitalism in Cuba. Really, I said, well,
30:35
Speaker 12: I said, are you giving Are they giving you a
30:37
Speaker 12: hard time? He said no, Actually, I get called to
30:39
Speaker 12: Havanah every now and then. I don't have never met
30:42
Speaker 12: with Midell, but I met with all the people directly
30:45
Speaker 12: below him, and they're interested in the idea. Now I
30:48
Speaker 12: understand that the program, the idea that Trump has, she's
30:54
Speaker 12: majorly involved.
30:56
Speaker 6: Well that's great, Oh well, but that's you know, that's
30:59
Speaker 6: what happened in viet Nom two is capitalism. The government
31:03
Speaker 6: realized they can't do socialism without capitalism, so they had
31:07
Speaker 6: to start letting, you know, people start their own businesses.
31:11
Speaker 12: I'll tell you about another friend of mine. She's fifty.
31:15
Speaker 12: She's a doctor, and that doesn't mean anything in Cuba, folks.
31:19
Speaker 12: She Dell at one point wanted to be able to say,
31:22
Speaker 12: more doctors per capital than anywhere in the world. So
31:25
Speaker 12: how do you do that? He gave six month courses
31:28
Speaker 12: and then handed them a piece of paper and said,
31:30
Speaker 12: you're a doctor. Well, of course they're not doctors. But
31:33
Speaker 12: my friend, she's a surgeon. She's a real doctor. She
31:37
Speaker 12: makes the big she makes the big money. She makes
31:40
Speaker 12: forty eight dollars a month.
31:41
Speaker 6: Oh gosh, wow, yeah. Yeah, but you've told me about her.
31:48
Speaker 6: She cares though she's a doctor because she has to
31:50
Speaker 6: be a doctor. I mean, that's that's the blessing she
31:53
Speaker 6: is to her friends and community. Well, don't let this
31:56
Speaker 6: be the last time for years and years that you
31:58
Speaker 6: chat with us. Mason. All right, Well, no, I got
32:02
Speaker 6: to run ahead and we got a franchise.
32:05
Speaker 7: You.
32:05
Speaker 6: We got a whole bunch of new cities that need
32:07
Speaker 6: Mason the sign guy somewhere near downtown.
32:11
Speaker 12: I had I had people at the parade because I
32:14
Speaker 12: haven't been out for a while. I just sort of
32:17
Speaker 12: lost my.
32:17
Speaker 6: Spark, but I'm getting it back good.
32:19
Speaker 12: And I said, where are you, We want to see you,
32:23
Speaker 12: We're glad to see you, blah blah blah, and and
32:26
Speaker 12: felt so good.
32:27
Speaker 6: Yeah, good, good God. I was very happy to see you, Mason.
32:30
Speaker 6: You have a great morning, sir.
32:32
Speaker 12: Okay, jo nice sir.
32:34
Speaker 6: Now a guy who is the star of the political
32:37
Speaker 6: scene in the Pacific Northwest. A man who, when he
32:41
Speaker 6: was still in Virginia, eked out a congressional victory in
32:44
Speaker 6: a primary over none of the above. Uh. He is
32:47
Speaker 6: a former congressional candidate. Lawrence went, you know who's how
32:53
Speaker 6: are you doing this morning? Lawrence? Usually you know where
32:56
Speaker 6: you are out in the Pacific Northwest it and it
32:59
Speaker 6: could be late night rather than early in the morning.
33:01
Speaker 6: Whoo uh you know doing okay?
33:06
Speaker 3: Uh?
33:07
Speaker 5: You know, trying to trying to balance the GANJA with
33:11
Speaker 5: not making not letting the news make me too crazy.
33:15
Speaker 5: But you know it was the Charlottesville Democrats that kicked
33:19
Speaker 5: me out because they said, I'm too crazy. I'm watching
33:23
Speaker 5: the Democratic Socialists and and their they're allied groups openly
33:28
Speaker 5: talking about bringing America down from within. And destroying us.
33:35
Speaker 5: And that's an actual insurrection. And Democrats not only aren't
33:39
Speaker 5: complaining about it, they're welcoming into a party.
33:43
Speaker 6: They're the one that called me crazy. Well to them,
33:46
Speaker 6: they're not crazy. This is just what you know. Little
33:49
Speaker 6: Nikky back from the Soviet Union in the fifties slammed
33:52
Speaker 6: his shoe on the blecktern and said, we'll destroy America
33:56
Speaker 6: from the inside. They're just they're their version of Ronald Reagan,
34:00
Speaker 6: little Nikki of Russia.
34:03
Speaker 5: Well, you know, you know more about this stuff than
34:06
Speaker 5: I do. But I never hated America.
34:08
Speaker 6: I just wanted to, you.
34:10
Speaker 5: Know, help to provide people with more affordable housing and yeah,
34:14
Speaker 5: et cetera opportunities. But you know this they're talking about
34:18
Speaker 5: a communist revolution.
34:20
Speaker 6: Well some would say it's just the same thing.
34:24
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, but you know, there's there's excess and then
34:28
Speaker 5: there's excess. You know, it's not not talking about the
34:32
Speaker 5: band from Australia.
34:34
Speaker 6: No, No, don't get hung up on that. Oh did
34:37
Speaker 6: he go there?
34:38
Speaker 2: Uh?
34:39
Speaker 6: Well, Lawrence, you know it's that kind of political mind
34:42
Speaker 6: of yours that is why you you were able to
34:44
Speaker 6: eke out that victory over none of the above. At
34:47
Speaker 6: the Democratic Convention all those years ago, and it's good
34:50
Speaker 6: to see you've kept it finally honed and.
34:55
Speaker 5: I barely won over flesh eating bacteria.
35:00
Speaker 6: Was that was that popularity? Is? Was that one of
35:03
Speaker 6: those newspaper awards? Uh, you know for honest?
35:07
Speaker 5: It was for the ranking of honesty and trustworthy?
35:12
Speaker 6: That's all right. I didn't know you, you the flesh
35:15
Speaker 6: eating bacteria got onto that category. Will you will you
35:19
Speaker 6: hang in there and get some rest tonight? Okay, Lawrence,
35:23
Speaker 6: you met all right?
35:26
Speaker 10: Uh?
35:26
Speaker 6: Oh. One of those things about living in Oregon, uh
35:29
Speaker 6: and being on the air out there. I appreciate you
35:33
Speaker 6: guys every day for what you do. And you know
35:36
Speaker 6: our friends at Katie i z out in Minneapolis, you
35:40
Speaker 6: feel it. I got this note from Jerry who said,
35:43
Speaker 6: I I heard somebody throw throw out the Tim Walt's line.
35:47
Speaker 6: Stop reminding us jazz hands. It's his new hashtag. He
35:53
Speaker 6: says he's gonna just to end everything with jazz hands.
35:56
Speaker 8: Uh.
35:56
Speaker 6: Now see see the damage we have gone on and
35:59
Speaker 6: cause we appreciate all the folks who join us in
36:04
Speaker 6: out there. You know, when you've got to take Jake Fry,
36:08
Speaker 6: who bless his heart, I mean at least says the
36:11
Speaker 6: quiet part out loud. It's it's about our boilas and
36:15
Speaker 6: bus boys. I can't fall to guy who takes us
36:19
Speaker 6: behind the curtain and explains what is all going. So
36:22
Speaker 6: tune into freedom fifteen seventy all the time, and twice
36:26
Speaker 6: on Sunday. I want to finish up stick the landing
36:29
Speaker 6: here with a very important reminder from the days gone by.
36:37
Speaker 10: You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We'll preserve
36:41
Speaker 10: for our children this the last best hope of men
36:43
Speaker 10: on earth, or we'll sentence them to take the last
36:46
Speaker 10: step into a thousand years of darkness.
36:49
Speaker 6: Understanding that cycle, wash Rin's repeat, humanity has done this
36:55
Speaker 6: multiple times through eternity, as long as we've organized in society,
37:04
Speaker 6: from the Tigris and Euphrates river on out. Liberty leads
37:10
Speaker 6: to prosperity, and I'm gonna butcher it. I'm going to
37:12
Speaker 6: leave some steps out, doctor Tyler, and nearly but liberty
37:15
Speaker 6: leads to prosperity. Prosperity leads to complacency. Complacency leads to apathy.
37:26
Speaker 6: Apathy leads to decline. Decline leads to debauchery. Debauchery leads
37:35
Speaker 6: to tyranny. And then you must shed the blood of
37:39
Speaker 6: patriots again. Let's avoid it, this time until tomorrow. So
37:42
Speaker 6: long and thanks for all the fish
