"Second Hand Lyins" (Tuesday, February 17, 2026, Hour 2) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:05
Speaker 1: I love the spell of play pop in the morning
0:07
Speaker 1: on your to do list. Putting the radio on is
0:09
Speaker 1: the first thing today.
0:11
Speaker 2: Spellbok George said, Victory, please for work. When the son
0:19
Speaker 2: comes up, drops a.
0:20
Speaker 3: Kid, just scooday, joys everything.
0:23
Speaker 1: All the jesses needs no one that Joe's smile.
0:30
Speaker 4: He only AIGs.
0:35
Speaker 5: Joe, thank you for letting me be of service to
0:37
Speaker 5: you this morning. It's a radio program that still says
0:43
Speaker 5: radio program. I know the cool kids wanted it to be,
0:47
Speaker 5: you know, content delivery. Whatever you're basking in the amplitude
0:52
Speaker 5: or frequency modulation of your favorite station, you're the most
0:56
Speaker 5: important local part of it. And we want to find
1:00
Speaker 5: out how the news of the day is impacting you
1:02
Speaker 5: at four three four eight eight two four to two
1:06
Speaker 5: one seven. It's a text message line because I know
1:08
Speaker 5: how mornings can get crazy. Whether you're on the tail
1:12
Speaker 5: end of Monday or the beginning tale of Tuesday, the
1:18
Speaker 5: day will be a cacophony of things put off to
1:22
Speaker 5: the last minute. And this is your official last minute. Wait.
1:26
Speaker 5: There was a debate as to whether that would be
1:28
Speaker 5: what we called this program the last minute with Joe Thomas,
1:33
Speaker 5: but I as felt like there was some dire nuclear
1:37
Speaker 5: warning clock that needed to be involved. It's the last minute.
1:41
Speaker 5: It was first thing today it's the last minute. Maybe
1:44
Speaker 5: that was the first hour, should be called the last minute.
1:47
Speaker 5: That's where our folks like Bob out in Portland listening
1:50
Speaker 5: on Freedom nine seventy or all the folks ki fir
1:54
Speaker 5: out there or kfar in in in Alaska there in Fairbanks.
2:07
Speaker 5: But whatever you may be doing, I was just thinking
2:09
Speaker 5: about Robert Duval passing and if you've never seen Secondhand Lions,
2:16
Speaker 5: I mean perhaps perhaps one of him and Michael Caine,
2:21
Speaker 5: and it's just it's a it's a fun movie. It's
2:25
Speaker 5: a serious movie. There's some great Haley Joel Osmond is
2:29
Speaker 5: in it as well as a little kid who has
2:31
Speaker 5: to go live with these two old guys grandparents. And
2:36
Speaker 5: it's about manhood and what men, you know, what being
2:40
Speaker 5: an adult male is supposed to be about. It's a great,
2:44
Speaker 5: great movie. If you and everyone talks Apocalypse now, Godfather, Oh,
2:47
Speaker 5: that's a second Hand Lions is just one of those
2:51
Speaker 5: we just keep it on hand if we ever just
2:53
Speaker 5: need a refresher. Feels good, kind of sad at the end,
2:58
Speaker 5: but it's a it's a great story. Or if you've
3:00
Speaker 5: never seen second hand lions. Robert Duval passing at ninety
3:05
Speaker 5: five here just a few miles north of where the
3:08
Speaker 5: radio program comes from, is not the only passage in
3:11
Speaker 5: our first things this morning. Reverend Jesse Jackson has passed
3:15
Speaker 5: away at the age of eighty four yesterday. Our father
3:19
Speaker 5: was a servant leader. His family issued a statement. Longtime
3:23
Speaker 5: civil rights leader advisor to Martin Luther King Junior was
3:26
Speaker 5: on the balcony when doctor King was assassinated dead at
3:31
Speaker 5: the age of eighty four. Yesterday, US and Iran are
3:38
Speaker 5: expected to begin their second round of talks. Perhaps they'll
3:41
Speaker 5: last a little bit longer than the first round that
3:44
Speaker 5: happened in Oman. I'm not going to prejudge these talks.
3:48
Speaker 5: Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, the president always prefers
3:52
Speaker 5: peaceful outcomes, negotiated outcomes to things. Today is fat Tuesday,
4:02
Speaker 5: Foshnocked Day, Shrove Tuesday. It is marti Gra the end
4:06
Speaker 5: of Carnival season, and the beginning tomorrow with ash Wednesday
4:10
Speaker 5: of the period of Christian Lent. We get it all
4:14
Speaker 5: out of our system today and for those who've sent
4:17
Speaker 5: me emails, Fashnacht is sort of a donut. I don't
4:20
Speaker 5: know if you can get the same thrill from a
4:22
Speaker 5: it's very dense donut made in the southeastern part of Pennsylvania. Mostly.
4:28
Speaker 5: President Trump said Monday federal government will not cover one
4:33
Speaker 5: dollar of cost overruns from the Gateway rail tunnel between
4:37
Speaker 5: New York and New Jersey, and his truth social post,
4:41
Speaker 5: he blasted the Hudson River Tunnel project as a boondoggle,
4:45
Speaker 5: comparing it to California's high speed rail effort. Senate Republicans
4:51
Speaker 5: said they have enough support within the conference to advance
4:54
Speaker 5: the Save Act, even though the Democrats are calling for
4:59
Speaker 5: a vote cloture. The Republicans are marshaling enough votes to
5:05
Speaker 5: change the rule and bring down the what's called the
5:09
Speaker 5: zombie filibuster and actually make Democrats take the floor if
5:14
Speaker 5: they want to hold up the vote. The Pentagon is
5:17
Speaker 5: considering ending its relationship with the partnership Anthropic that's Apple
5:22
Speaker 5: and Google and their AI software. The Pentagon is pushing
5:28
Speaker 5: four AI companies to let their military use their tools
5:31
Speaker 5: for quote all lawful purposes, but Anthropic is pushing back
5:36
Speaker 5: against some of their uses. And a shooting tore a
5:45
Speaker 5: part of Rhode Island, a youth hockey tournament Monday night.
5:50
Speaker 5: Pawtucket Police chief says that a person named Robert Dorgan,
5:55
Speaker 5: who also went by the name ROBERTA. Esposito, came in
5:59
Speaker 5: and started shooting what they believe to be family members
6:02
Speaker 5: and that targeted assault.
6:09
Speaker 6: HI.
6:09
Speaker 7: This is Bud Foster, co host of Foster and Friends
6:12
Speaker 7: and former Virginia Tech football coach. When I brought the
6:15
Speaker 7: fame lunch Fail to our team, that symbolized teamwork. The
6:18
Speaker 7: word win stood for what's important. Now, the Lunch Pail

Speaker 8: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
7:05
Speaker 8: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
7:07
Speaker 9: It was Medishare that came through for us, and there
7:10
Speaker 9: was no hassles, there was no problem.

7:30
Speaker 10: Metashare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over thirty years
7:34
Speaker 10: old and members have shared over eight billion dollars of
7:37
Speaker 10: each other's medical bills.

Speaker 11: You can focus on on supporting other people.
7:43
Speaker 12: Meda Share is affordable.
7:45

Speaker 4: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes? Actually,
8:09
Speaker 4: three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric oxide
8:14
Speaker 4: is a gas that's readily made all day long to
8:18
Speaker 4: keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
8:23
Speaker 4: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
8:28
Speaker 4: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
8:32
Speaker 4: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
8:36
Speaker 4: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
8:39
Speaker 4: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
8:42
Speaker 4: your hands and feet. Well our product, ultimate nitric Oxide,
8:47
Speaker 4: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

13:12
Speaker 1: The First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Chunk
13:16
Speaker 1: Media Network, all natural and free of artificial intelligence.
13:27
Speaker 5: Thank you for letting me be of service to you.
13:33
Speaker 5: This email comes into JT in the Morning radio at
13:37
Speaker 5: gmail dot com. The title of the email is sky
13:41
Speaker 5: net So Joe, how are you and where are you
13:45
Speaker 5: on the Pentagon's push to use artificial intelligence, and I
13:53
Speaker 5: like the use of the phrase sky net in your well.
13:58
Speaker 5: From what I read that the Pentagon wants to keep
14:02
Speaker 5: using artificial intelligence for tactical simulation and weapon research. I
14:12
Speaker 5: don't know, considering how difficult it's been for the military
14:20
Speaker 5: services to recruit young American men and women to service,
14:25
Speaker 5: to be in the condition both mentally and physically for
14:28
Speaker 5: the rigors of military service and the discipline of it.
14:32
Speaker 5: What I've watched artificial intelligence devolve into, I'd rather have
14:37
Speaker 5: an eighteen year old kid from Appalachia over what the
14:43
Speaker 5: AI is coming out like, because I remember, artificial intelligence
14:47
Speaker 5: is learning from us, and the place it goes to
14:51
Speaker 5: learn about us is the Internet.
14:55
Speaker 6: Oh.
14:56
Speaker 5: I know all the advocates saying, well, that was our
14:59
Speaker 5: first attempt to teaching it how to be sentient and
15:02
Speaker 5: how to make decisions. I said, so we sent it
15:05
Speaker 5: to four chan to learn how to make, you know, what,
15:09
Speaker 5: logic decisions. This was a good idea. So I'm always
15:14
Speaker 5: dubious about turning things over to computers. And then you know,
15:18
Speaker 5: when something goes pear shaped, people shrug and say, oh,
15:22
Speaker 5: I guess the simulation didn't work. You think you know
15:26
Speaker 5: human capital, and it's not. It's not like I'm a
15:29
Speaker 5: lud eye or anything. I understand technology is, but it
15:33
Speaker 5: has to be viewed as a tool, just like your
15:37
Speaker 5: smartphone is a tool, just like your laptop is a tool.
15:41
Speaker 5: Just all of these things are tools. And by the way,
15:46
Speaker 5: when you're on the internet, you're out on the street
15:49
Speaker 5: in your underwear, just to let just to remind you,
15:52
Speaker 5: you're not at home like you think you are, and
15:55
Speaker 5: that that's a raging debate in the world of technology
15:59
Speaker 5: still to this day. But if you're out on the internet,
16:02
Speaker 5: you might as well be sitting on your front lawn
16:05
Speaker 5: in your bathrobe. Joel is on the line trying to
16:08
Speaker 5: get past that image at four three four eight eight
16:10
Speaker 5: two four two one seven. How are you going to
16:13
Speaker 5: do in this morning, Joel?
16:15
Speaker 7: Good morning, Joe.
16:15
Speaker 9: I'm okay, I'm praying a lot. I thought you were
16:18
Speaker 9: talking about Chuck Schumer as a tool.
16:21
Speaker 5: Well, all right, there's another application of it, and he's
16:24
Speaker 5: he has no real intelligence, has political intelligence, which means
16:28
Speaker 5: none at all. They're anyway, So what's on your mind?
16:34
Speaker 9: So we're a country that is going to pay illegal
16:38
Speaker 9: aliens to leave one thousand dollars per person, then three
16:42
Speaker 9: thousand I think for families, and they get airline flight out. Now,
16:49
Speaker 9: what about all these cities that are considered sanctuary and
16:54
Speaker 9: they're harboring all these illegal aliens and they don't have
16:57
Speaker 9: to be people that have just come over come over
17:00
Speaker 9: the border. They may have come over with a visa.
17:02
Speaker 9: There's a lot of visa over stays, a lot of
17:06
Speaker 9: that's that's that's a big problem too. And I think
17:10
Speaker 9: President Trump is saying, hey, you know, we'll try to
17:14
Speaker 9: work something out with that. But but the resistance is
17:17
Speaker 9: these people are trying to block ice, block federal enforcement
17:21
Speaker 9: of deporting people. So what they ought to do, the
17:24
Speaker 9: government ought to do not only withhold funds from from
17:28
Speaker 9: from those cities, but any any of those illegals that
17:31
Speaker 9: you know where they're holding resistance to the cost of
17:34
Speaker 9: each illegal that they take out. How to charge that
17:36
Speaker 9: to that city?
17:39
Speaker 5: I mean, I would say you'd probably have to reduce
17:42
Speaker 5: their federal aid money to whatever by that amount to
17:46
Speaker 5: just make it a like you're withdrawing down petty cash,
17:50
Speaker 5: uh there, and that that would be fine if you know,
17:53
Speaker 5: make it cost something, make it an actual decision, not
17:56
Speaker 5: just a paper transaction. Say Okay, you want to be
17:59
Speaker 5: a sanctuary city, this is what it's going to cost.
18:01
Speaker 1: You, And.
18:05
Speaker 5: We need to keep dragging these people out into the spotlight.
18:12
Speaker 5: You know, I watched and I don't know if you
18:14
Speaker 5: catch this, Joel. I watch a lot of news more
18:19
Speaker 5: news coverage, and it's starting mostly at the local level,
18:24
Speaker 5: because the local TV station knows that it's a big
18:27
Speaker 5: story and we might be able to sell it to
18:29
Speaker 5: CNN and get some fame and notoriety out of it.
18:32
Speaker 5: So each one of these pro ice marches draws the
18:37
Speaker 5: local press, and every time it draws the local press,
18:41
Speaker 5: more and more you get these poorly veiled racist statements
18:47
Speaker 5: out of the protesters, and maybe maybe the Soros group
18:52
Speaker 5: will send out an edict saying no more talking to
18:55
Speaker 5: the press, only one anointed person. Just blow the whistle
18:58
Speaker 5: if a camera, if a camera comes up to you,
19:00
Speaker 5: just blow your whistle at them, which they do, which
19:04
Speaker 5: they used to do in twenty seventeen. But the question
19:09
Speaker 5: I'm saying is is as long as the more we
19:13
Speaker 5: drag these people out into the sunlight and you see
19:17
Speaker 5: the inherent elitist racism in their rhetoric, the fewer people
19:24
Speaker 5: are supporting it. I love these people who are just
19:27
Speaker 5: presuming and these weak willed Republicans who are afraid, especially
19:32
Speaker 5: in areas with heavy Latino population. That the way the
19:37
Speaker 5: press is characterizing these raids, these ICE operations is making
19:42
Speaker 5: the Latino community vote against Republicans because Trump. I think
19:47
Speaker 5: Trump got fifty one percent of the Latino community vote
19:51
Speaker 5: in twenty twenty four. And just like they did when
19:55
Speaker 5: they went after the female vote in twenty twenty in
19:59
Speaker 5: twenty twenties election campaign, so all the way up till
20:02
Speaker 5: twenty twenty, they targeted suburban white women to make them
20:07
Speaker 5: not want to vote for Trump. This is all the
20:09
Speaker 5: same operation. It's just they're using ICE enforcing laws to
20:16
Speaker 5: target the Latino community to make them not want to
20:20
Speaker 5: vote for Trump. And Joe I watched.
20:23
Speaker 9: I listened to Glenn Beck real quick, and he had
20:26
Speaker 9: an irishman that had come in nineteen eighty four and
20:30
Speaker 9: he had been here that long. He had fifteen deportation
20:33
Speaker 9: summonses and he had left Ireland because he had I
20:37
Speaker 9: guess at the time. He was twenty eight, had three children,
20:41
Speaker 9: and he had he had warrants for his arrest in
20:43
Speaker 9: Ireland for robbery, and now I think he's finally going
20:48
Speaker 9: to be deported. But during the time of being here
20:52
Speaker 9: and I guess he reconnected with his daughters. Now his daughters,
20:55
Speaker 9: I guess moved here and are trying to get you know,
20:59
Speaker 9: have him seat and avoid all the other issues with
21:03
Speaker 9: what he did.
21:04
Speaker 5: So if I steal a car and you don't catch
21:07
Speaker 5: me for six months or is it a year, or
21:10
Speaker 5: what's what's the statute of limitations? If I steal money
21:14
Speaker 5: and I get away with it. If I'm dB Cooper
21:16
Speaker 5: and I've gotten away this long, do I just get
21:19
Speaker 5: to keep it? I mean, that's the ridiculous thing where
21:22
Speaker 5: oh it's a sad story. I'm sorry, they're all sad stories.
21:25
Speaker 5: There are sad stories all over the place. That doesn't
21:29
Speaker 5: give you a right to rob a store. That doesn't
21:31
Speaker 5: give you a right. And that's part of what this
21:33
Speaker 5: progressive nonsense has been over the last ten years, if
21:37
Speaker 5: not twenty years. Joel is to gaslight us into saying, oh, well,
21:41
Speaker 5: he's poor, that's why he ripped off the grocery store.
21:44
Speaker 5: Oh he was poor, that's why he carjacked the beat
21:49
Speaker 5: up old Chevy from the nurse who now can't get
21:51
Speaker 5: to the hospital to work because her only means of
21:56

Speaker 1: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
28:16
Speaker 1: the second most famous Thomas and Charlotte's will.
28:27
Speaker 4: We're not anybody well?
28:30
Speaker 5: Really, hamp hamp reminds of a terrible story down from
28:39
Speaker 5: the Treasure Coast out of Savannah.
28:44
Speaker 18: You just told.
28:47
Speaker 5: But as we as we rage against the machine. This morning,
28:52
Speaker 5: Joel was on the phone with us and I was
28:54
Speaker 5: monologuing a little bit there, So Joel finished your thought there.
28:57
Speaker 9: But what I wanted to say is they are still things.
29:00
Speaker 9: They're stealing their American benefits, American citizens benefits, schools, they're
29:06
Speaker 9: taken away from schools.
29:07
Speaker 5: Yeah, but that's that's a whole other kettle official because
29:10
Speaker 5: because we shouldn't be doing those benefits in the first place.
29:14
Speaker 5: If we stopped doing those with paid self deport like that, I.
29:18
Speaker 9: Agree, And and and the and the ID, the real
29:21
Speaker 9: ide you know.
29:22
Speaker 1: All these people.
29:23
Speaker 9: Oh well, uh, you know, and and that's part of
29:26
Speaker 9: the Save Act. And now if I guess if you
29:29
Speaker 9: go to the airports, they're going to charge you forty
29:31
Speaker 9: five dollars and you'll probably lose all your flights.
29:34
Speaker 5: But but that I don't know. You just threw something
29:37
Speaker 5: in there at left field. I'll what are you talking
29:39
Speaker 5: about with the flights and forty five dollars?
29:42
Speaker 9: Oh, because if you don't have a real ID, you're
29:45
Speaker 9: going to get stopped.
29:46
Speaker 5: Yeah you already are, right.
29:49
Speaker 9: But but what I'm saying is in order for I
29:51
Speaker 9: guess you to go through or to get through those
29:54
Speaker 9: TSA checkpoints, maybe maybe it could be clarified. But I
29:58
Speaker 9: heard it's going to be like forty five dollars extra.
30:01
Speaker 5: Right, which is yeah, but it's it's it's the same
30:04
Speaker 5: fraud that the h o V tolls are. You know, Oh,
30:08
Speaker 5: we have h o V lanes to cut down on smog,
30:11
Speaker 5: and then they say, oh, unless you pay us and
30:13
Speaker 5: then you can use the AHOV lanes. All right, So
30:15
Speaker 5: you were lying to us when you said it was
30:17
Speaker 5: about pollution. It was just another cash grab. Is the
30:20
Speaker 5: same thing with the real I d it's a lie.
30:23
Speaker 5: It's not actually fixing anything. I must run joeld good stuff,
30:27
Speaker 5: my friend, good morning, This is joke. Can you hang
30:33
Speaker 5: on a second, you bet?
30:36
Speaker 20: You bet?
30:37
Speaker 6: Let me.
30:38
Speaker 5: It's our buddy James in here from j csgold dot com.
30:43
Speaker 5: J csgold dot com where you should go to talk
30:46
Speaker 5: to the folks. I was just talking to a friend
30:48
Speaker 5: of mine who's got some jewelry that she's going to
30:51
Speaker 5: be bringing to you, James very soon. That I guess
30:55
Speaker 5: she was hanging on quasi sentimentally, but then realized, at
31:00
Speaker 5: five thousand dollars an ounce for gold, what am I
31:02
Speaker 5: holding onto these rings for? So you probably see a
31:06
Speaker 5: ton of that at JCS goold dot com or at
31:09
Speaker 5: least your physical plant there in Charlotte's. Well, how are
31:12
Speaker 5: you doing this morning?
31:14
Speaker 7: Yeah, you're absolutely.
31:15
Speaker 23: Our showroom is busy with a lot of people cashing
31:19
Speaker 23: in on these high gold prices. It kind of over
31:23
Speaker 23: here a lot of the same story. They're like, I
31:26
Speaker 23: kind of like this piece. I wasn't really sure, and
31:28
Speaker 23: then they come they get our price from us, and
31:30
Speaker 23: they're like, wow, how is it that much? And I said, well,
31:32
Speaker 23: you know, gold is near all time highs. This is
31:35
Speaker 23: five thousand dollars an ounce, so it really adds up and.
31:39
Speaker 5: People can get.
31:40
Speaker 23: Quite a bit of cash for their unwanted gold jewelry.
31:43
Speaker 23: At the moment, gold is slightly below five thousand. This morning,
31:47
Speaker 23: it's down about a one and a third percent to
31:50
Speaker 23: four nine and twenty three dollars. It's had a little
31:53
Speaker 23: bit of a dip yesterday on President's Day. And silver
31:57
Speaker 23: same story, down just shy three percent to seventy four
32:01
Speaker 23: dollars and thirty cents. I'm sure we're we might be
32:05
Speaker 23: low on most silver items there at jacsgold dot Com.
32:08
Speaker 23: I'm sure I have a busy shipping morning with people
32:10
Speaker 23: buying the dead bet and silver there.
32:12
Speaker 5: Well, you know, I'm sensing you tell me if I'm
32:14
Speaker 5: right or wrong here, James Lucke from jcsgold dot com,
32:19
Speaker 5: tell me if I'm wrong. I'm starting to sense a
32:21
Speaker 5: floor here. You know, I'm not a contractor, but I
32:25
Speaker 5: live in a house, so I guess that qualifies me.
32:27
Speaker 5: But I'm sensing that we know right here forty low
32:31
Speaker 5: high forty nine's, low fifties for gold, and you know
32:35
Speaker 5: right in that mid seventies for silver, it might be
32:38
Speaker 5: a settling point for a little while. Do you tell
32:41
Speaker 5: me you're the one who deals in this every day.
32:44
Speaker 23: Yeah, it does kind of feel like that, you know,
32:46
Speaker 23: as soon as I think. I know though, gold and
32:49
Speaker 23: silver always proved me wrong, so I can maybe I
32:53
Speaker 23: can be strategic in what I say. But I agree
32:57
Speaker 23: with you. It does seem like we're getting kind of
32:58
Speaker 23: comfortable here these levels, that this might be the new
33:03
Speaker 23: new normal level for golden silver, upper four thousand's and
33:09
Speaker 23: you know, mid seventies to you know, mid eighties, So
33:12
Speaker 23: we'll see where we go. We're definitely building some support here.
33:15
Speaker 23: A lot of people are like these levels. A lot
33:18
Speaker 23: of people are purchasing and entering the golden silver positions
33:22
Speaker 23: at these levels, so it does seem comfortable for Golden Silver.
33:25
Speaker 5: Well, it's the experience that sixty four years in the
33:28
Speaker 5: business will teach you. That's awlong jcsgold dot com has
33:32
Speaker 5: been there. They've always stayed a family business and they
33:35
Speaker 5: still are. It's not a call center, and give them
33:38
Speaker 5: a call at four three four nine to seven nine
33:41
Speaker 5: coin or visit them anytime twenty four to seven at
33:45
Speaker 5: jcsgold dot com. You have a great morning, James. Thanks,
33:49
Speaker 5: show you too, lits Get. I think that was Bob
33:52
Speaker 5: I heard on the line from Moscow just before we
33:56
Speaker 5: went to James. Good morning. Is that is it you, Bob? Yes, sir, Yeah,
34:01
Speaker 5: I'm getting good at recognizing voices. Now. If I can
34:04
Speaker 5: just recognize my wife's voice when she's calling me for dinner,
34:07
Speaker 5: I'll be doing okay.
34:10
Speaker 24: So, you know Joel has talked about you were talking about,
34:13
Speaker 24: you know, the illegal aliens and all the people protecting
34:17
Speaker 24: them and everything else. My answer or solution to the
34:21
Speaker 24: problem is if the person's in the country ill legally
34:27
Speaker 24: and they've since they've committed so theoretically they've committed a crime.
34:31
Speaker 1: Right.
34:32
Speaker 24: Therefore, if someone's harboring a criminal and they know they're
34:38
Speaker 24: harboring a criminal, arrest them too, and if they're on
34:41
Speaker 24: a green card or political and they're not native US citizens,
34:46
Speaker 24: support them too.
34:48
Speaker 5: It's interesting because you open a can there, and I'm
34:52
Speaker 5: not trying to help the progressive left, you know, counter
34:55
Speaker 5: argument this, but because I see them using the same
34:59
Speaker 5: sin scenarios that they used in the eighteen hundreds here
35:02
Speaker 5: in the United States over slaves, you know, and the
35:07
Speaker 5: same paradigm over you know, this cheap labor that they
35:10
Speaker 5: say is so important to the American business while while
35:14
Speaker 5: also campaigning for minimum wage law increases. But then they, oh,
35:18
Speaker 5: but we need these folks cleaning up our restaurants. What
35:21
Speaker 5: I don't get the hipocryphal I do get the hypocrisy,
35:24
Speaker 5: but I'll say it that way just to tweak them.
35:26
Speaker 5: But here's here's the thing. So as soon as you
35:29
Speaker 5: do that, that opens them up to go after the
35:32
Speaker 5: whole underground railroad thing, because that's what a lot of
35:36
Speaker 5: the Dixiecrats were arresting people who were harboring the runaway
35:42
Speaker 5: slaves who are trying to get north of the Mason
35:45
Speaker 5: Dixon line.
35:46
Speaker 25: Right.
35:47
Speaker 24: But that's a different time, a different place. But with
35:50
Speaker 24: this theory, I have and what Joel's talking about. And
35:53
Speaker 24: I totally agree with you and him. You start first
35:58
Speaker 24: with all of the wealthy people and the executives that
36:03
Speaker 24: have hired illegal knowingly hired illegal aliens and not paying
36:08
Speaker 24: them the legal starting to start with them and see
36:11
Speaker 24: how fat the problems get solve.
36:14
Speaker 5: But there's a secondary problem. And I know that this
36:18
Speaker 5: is why I'm not a good campaigner, because campaigners they
36:21
Speaker 5: get myopic. It's just about the thing, and it's and
36:25
Speaker 5: I think we lose a little of intellectual honesty because
36:28
Speaker 5: if we're against illegal immigration, it becomes just about that.
36:33
Speaker 5: But we also need, I believe, to have a real
36:37
Speaker 5: conversation about America's labor laws. I go back to why
36:41
Speaker 5: I supported Ron Paul in twenty twelve for the Republican
36:44
Speaker 5: nomination because he was the only one saying we need
36:47
Speaker 5: to look at America's labor laws before we just start
36:53
Speaker 5: bashing you know, overseas trade and all this stuff. You agree,
36:56
Speaker 5: it sounds like right.
36:57
Speaker 24: But the whole yep, I agree with you. But the
37:01
Speaker 24: whole thing. This has absolutely nothing to do with the
37:05
Speaker 24: people being illegal aliens. This has all to do with
37:10
Speaker 24: they are criminals, they're violating the law, and that is
37:16
Speaker 24: the ultimate foundation that the United States of America was founded.
37:21
Speaker 5: On, right, and it's the only way a free society
37:24
Speaker 5: can work, because if you don't have rule of law,
37:26
Speaker 5: you have rule of man, which means it's it's anarchy.
37:30
Speaker 5: It's it's like a lot of these countries. Ironically, these
37:34
Speaker 5: people have fled. Whoever has the guns runs, and that's
37:38
Speaker 5: not what anyone wants. But good stuff, my friend, you
37:41
Speaker 5: have a great morning. Hey, whatever happened with the snow
37:43
Speaker 5: you guys were having in Moscow? Is it stopped?
37:46
Speaker 24: Well, oh, it stopped, yes, yesterday. It was just like
37:49
Speaker 24: a blizzard. We have blizzard conditions. It was a white out.
37:51
Speaker 24: I mean, you know how when it rains and during
37:54
Speaker 24: hurricanes and very strong ones those horizontally, that's basically what
37:58
Speaker 24: the snow is doing.
37:59
Speaker 3: Yet.
38:03

39:08
Speaker 4: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
39:13
Speaker 4: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
39:19
Speaker 4: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
39:23
Speaker 4: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
39:27
Speaker 4: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
39:32
Speaker 4: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
39:37
Speaker 4: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
39:43
Speaker 4: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
39:46
Speaker 4: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
39:51

Speaker 25: No, I'm Jack Hannah, and it's always a boy. Growing
41:02
Speaker 25: up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
41:05
Speaker 25: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
41:07
Speaker 25: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
41:09
Speaker 25: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
41:13
Speaker 25: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
41:16
Speaker 25: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
41:18
Speaker 25: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
41:21
Speaker 25: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
41:24
Speaker 25: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
41:26
Speaker 25: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
41:30
Speaker 25: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
41:33
Speaker 25: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
41:36
Speaker 25: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
41:39
Speaker 25: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
41:42
Speaker 25: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
41:44
Speaker 25: variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
41:47
Speaker 25: help those in need. So please join me an American

44:13
Speaker 1: The first thing today on the Talk Media Network by
44:16
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas.
44:18
Speaker 23: Did you know general that George Washington has been his
44:21
Speaker 23: boyhood not far from.
44:22
Speaker 22: Here, and it's just across that river down there that
44:25
Speaker 22: he's supposed to have thrown that silver dollar and cut
44:27
Speaker 22: down that cherry tree.
44:30
Speaker 3: That may be so muchter Taylor, but it hasn't even
44:32
Speaker 3: greater significance for me. That's where I met my wife.
44:38
Speaker 3: There's something these Yankees do not understand, will never understand.
44:42
Speaker 3: You see these rivers and valleys and streams, fields, even towns.
44:49
Speaker 3: They're just markings on a map to those people in
44:51
Speaker 3: the wharfs in Washington. But to us, oh my goodness,
44:55
Speaker 3: there birthplaces and burial grounds. There battlefields where my ancestor fought,
45:02
Speaker 3: places where you and I we learned to walk, to
45:04
Speaker 3: talk to pray.
45:06
Speaker 5: Robert Duval dead at the age of ninety five, I
45:09
Speaker 5: was recalling an interview. It may have been Oprah, could
45:12
Speaker 5: have been a letterman. Somebody was talking to Duval and
45:16
Speaker 5: he talked about why he moved to northern Virginia and
45:20
Speaker 5: bought a horse farm. It's where he died, not miles
45:24
Speaker 5: from where we are right now. In his controversial depiction
45:30
Speaker 5: of Robert E. Lee, you no statues of Robert Duval
45:36
Speaker 5: anywhere right where? Okay, okay, nobody's taken any statues of
45:39
Speaker 5: Robert Duval down traveler and the real one. They had
45:44
Speaker 5: to go. But and still to this day, I dare
45:48
Speaker 5: you to go find gods in generals. I mean, they
45:52
Speaker 5: may put it up there on Netflix right now. I
45:56
Speaker 5: would question it, because, you know, guys like Robert E.
46:01
Speaker 5: Lee came across. He had such a love affair with
46:05
Speaker 5: the Commonwealth of Virginia. It's why he gave up his commission.
46:08
Speaker 5: He was supposed to be leading the Union Army in
46:11
Speaker 5: its invasion of the secessionary South to get the tax
46:16
Speaker 5: revenue back, and he said I can't fight against Virginia.
46:26
Speaker 5: I'm a Virginian first and an American second. And Gods
46:35
Speaker 5: in Generals is still to this because it doesn't fall
46:38
Speaker 5: into the woke paradigm. I just was reading a story.
46:41
Speaker 5: The guy who played the bad guy, the villain in
46:44
Speaker 5: Silence of the Lambs has has renounced the movie, just
46:49
Speaker 5: the way What's the Redhead renounced Breakfast Club? That was
46:57
Speaker 5: Ringwald right when Molly Ringwald renowned the Breakfast Club that
47:03
Speaker 5: was sort of the beginning of woke. Now this guy
47:09
Speaker 5: in Silence of the Lambs has denounced the movie because
47:13
Speaker 5: it portrays transgender people badly. Oh you mean, like the
47:17
Speaker 5: one that shot up the Pawtucket hockey game. And this
47:22
Speaker 5: wasn't a kid either, by the way, like fifty something
47:25
Speaker 5: year old Robert slash ROBERTA. But then, an honest telling,
47:36
Speaker 5: any movie, any book, how much is an honest telling
47:40
Speaker 5: because you're always going to go through the filter of
47:44
Speaker 5: the author, the radio show host, the movie director. There's
47:49
Speaker 5: always going to be a filter through it. I'm telling
47:53
Speaker 5: you the truth as it filters through me and my experiences.
48:00
Speaker 5: I have found over time that it tends to be
48:02
Speaker 5: a pretty popular depiction of reality, and gods in generals
48:13
Speaker 5: gets killed killed more so. And it's interesting. People will
48:19
Speaker 5: tell everyone you have to watch Apocalypse now, and they
48:23
Speaker 5: will say, oh, don't watch Gods in Generals, And you
48:30
Speaker 5: can usually tell a lot by that discussion, because Gods
48:33
Speaker 5: in Generals play some hard stories about what the South
48:39
Speaker 5: viewed slavery as. And some of it is born of
48:49
Speaker 5: the fact that there were Southern leaders that saw what
48:54
Speaker 5: they were doing with the slave trade as a kindness.
48:57
Speaker 5: This is a very European thing. It was very European
49:00
Speaker 5: feeling that these were savages and we were doing them
49:03
Speaker 5: a favor by civilizing them. But if you don't understand
49:14
Speaker 5: that this goes back to twenty sixteen, twenty fifteen, when
49:18
Speaker 5: this mania about taking statues of Robert Duvald Down, I
49:22
Speaker 5: mean Robert E. Lee Down and eliminating our Civil War
49:28
Speaker 5: records because it was about, you know, an involved slavery
49:33
Speaker 5: and if we ignore slavery, maybe, just like with Civil War,
49:37
Speaker 5: we can have a new one.
49:39
Speaker 18: Yay.
49:39
Speaker 5: And that's what they wanted, and that's what we warned
49:42
Speaker 5: you about in twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, in and amongst
49:45
Speaker 5: the pepper spray and teargas of twenty seventeen, and I've
49:48
Speaker 5: been at the same street corner all the time, saying, careful, folks,
49:53
Speaker 5: because they're leading you back to a slave trading world,
50:02
Speaker 5: while arguing the fact that I'm against slavery, but I
50:05
Speaker 5: really want these illegals here cleaning up my dishes for me,
50:10
Speaker 5: And they don't realize it's exactly and the execourable commerce
50:14
Speaker 5: that Thomas Jefferson warned us about in the Declaration of Independence.
50:19
Speaker 5: As we celebrate it's two hundred and fifty years, we're
50:21
Speaker 5: going to celebrate it's two hundred and fifty years fraudulently
50:25
Speaker 5: because we're not going to look at the whole thing.
50:28
Speaker 5: Doesn't make us feel good our fields? Where about our fields, Joe,
50:33
Speaker 5: You're supposed to be helping us start our day. Bring
50:35
Speaker 5: where are the yucks, Joe? Well, we can have some
50:40
Speaker 5: yucks at it. We can call out the hypocrisy of it.
50:46
Speaker 5: It's just like the story hamp was reminding us of.
50:50
Speaker 5: Out of Out of Savannah, Georgia, a kid, an elementary
50:58
Speaker 5: school teacher, was killed in a car crash because an
51:05
Speaker 5: illegal got into a car and was fleeing ice. Thirty
51:12
Speaker 5: eight year old Oscar Vasquez Lopez, Guatemalan national, during an
51:20
Speaker 5: attempted traffic stop. I'm sorry, I thought he had stolen
51:23
Speaker 5: the car, but he took off, made a U turn
51:27
Speaker 5: and then ran a red light before colliding with the
51:33
Speaker 5: school teacher's car. Doctor Linda Davis, an elementary school teacher.
51:41
Speaker 5: Investigators determined Lopez crashed into the victim's vehicle while fleeing
51:46
Speaker 5: from DHS ICE officers. As amp Down on the Treasure
51:50
Speaker 5: Coast says, how much you want to bet these people
51:52
Speaker 5: are going to blame ICE for it? Right now? It's
51:57
Speaker 5: the school community is morning. That's just how happened. What
52:00
Speaker 5: two days ago, two days ago, so over the weekend.
52:07
Speaker 5: But I guarante MNT you that there will be people
52:12
Speaker 5: Georgia Democrats out there making their hay about This is
52:17
Speaker 5: why we do you to stop ICE. But if this
52:29
Speaker 5: Guatemala national wasn't in the United States trying to hide
52:33
Speaker 5: from the authorities and trying to obviously he knew he
52:38
Speaker 5: was doing something wrong, he wouldn't have have done the
52:41
Speaker 5: dukes of Hazard and Florida and did a you turn
52:43
Speaker 5: and tried to flee ICE. But it's not his fault,
52:50
Speaker 5: it's ICES.
