- 0:02Speaker 1: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Tonk Media Network.
- 0:06Speaker 1: All natural and free of artificial intelligence.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Joe works at the steel mill, works damn near every day.
- 0:15Speaker 3: Leaves for work when the sun comes up, drops the
- 0:17Speaker 3: kids to school and on the way.
- 0:20Speaker 4: Joe has everything he dreamed of, all the treasures that
- 0:23Speaker 4: he needs.
- 0:25Speaker 5: No wonder Joe's always smiling, he only aims to please you.
- 0:33Speaker 6: Thank you for letting me be of service to you.
- 0:38Speaker 6: We gather here every morning. I will tell you what
- 0:40Speaker 6: went on last night as you bask in either the
- 0:44Speaker 6: amplitude or frequency modulation of your favorite radio station. I'll
- 0:49Speaker 6: give you my analysis of it, but since you are
- 0:51Speaker 6: the most important local aspect of your station, I want
- 0:54Speaker 6: to know how this is impacting you where you are.
- 1:00Speaker 6: And the phone number to do that is 434-882-4217. Emails
- 1:06Speaker 6: come into JTInTheMorningRadio at gmail.com. And you can also, I
- 1:12Speaker 6: forgot to mention, on that phone number, you can text
- 1:15Speaker 6: in as well your thoughts, your hopes, your dreams, your prayers.
- 1:20Speaker 6: All are welcome here. We were talking about the meta deal.
- 1:29Speaker 6: And who gets how much and what are they going
- 1:33Speaker 6: to waste it on is the bigger question that seems
- 1:36Speaker 6: to be burning up a lot of folks here. This one,
- 1:40Speaker 6: Jerry is listening to us out on KAHI in Sacramento said,
- 1:47Speaker 6: what is California going to waste this money on? Maybe
- 1:51Speaker 6: we can buy another couple of feet of track for
- 1:54Speaker 6: the train to nowhere. I remember when they first proposed
- 2:02Speaker 6: this high-speed rail line, and it was supposed to connect L.A.
- 2:06Speaker 6: to San Francisco. And the very first meeting was, well,
- 2:09Speaker 6: you can't go directly from L.A. to San Francisco. Why?
- 2:12Speaker 6: It goes through too many populated areas. You can't have
- 2:17Speaker 6: a train going at 200 miles an hour behind somebody's house.
- 2:26Speaker 6: So the immediate.
- 2:28Speaker 6: Compromise. Well, what if we start all the way out
- 2:31Speaker 6: here in the desert and we'll go all the way
- 2:33Speaker 6: up here into the woods and then we'll have other...
- 2:40Speaker 6: It is what happens when the green agenda tries to
- 2:44Speaker 6: solve a problem. Makes seven more than it started. High-speed
- 2:48Speaker 6: rail in the middle of nowhere to the middle of nowhere.
- 2:51Speaker 6: It's actually more efficient to try to fly from L.A.
- 2:56Speaker 6: to San Francisco than it is to take the high-speed rail,
- 2:58Speaker 6: which therefore means economically nobody would use it. But yeah,
- 3:02Speaker 6: you're probably right.
- 3:03Speaker 2: L.A.
- 3:04Speaker 6: 's $ 2. 2 billion they get from the MetaSuit is probably
- 3:08Speaker 6: going to go to, you know, Newsom Rail or whatever
- 3:12Speaker 6: it is they call it these days. Here are the remainder, though,
- 3:16Speaker 6: of our first things this morning. The United States said
- 3:21Speaker 6: yesterday that it had disrupted a Chinese hacking operation responsible
- 3:27Speaker 6: for break-ins at no place important, the U.S. Department of Justice, NASA,
- 3:33Speaker 6: the Federal Reserve, and the U.S. Senate. I don't know,
- 3:37Speaker 6: one of those doesn't seem like it fits in there.
- 3:43Speaker 6: They also say other sensitive government agencies, so sensitive they
- 3:47Speaker 6: didn't want to list them in the news release, In
- 3:50Speaker 6: a statement, the Justice Department said that it had seized
- 3:53Speaker 6: domains that had been used by two of the hacking platforms,
- 3:58Speaker 6: dubbed Qscan and QTRouter, which it said had been used
- 4:04Speaker 6: as part of the trolling or phishing campaign. Rescue teams
- 4:10Speaker 6: are searching for thousands of missing people along the Nepal-Chinese
- 4:15Speaker 6: border after a catastrophic and deadly torrent of water swept
- 4:20Speaker 6: through the communities along the river earlier following a glacial
- 4:26Speaker 6: collapse at the head end of the river. The disaster
- 4:30Speaker 6: left 160 people dead already, 1,300 still missing, including foreigners
- 4:37Speaker 6: who were there visiting the Himalaya region. Kremlin said yesterday
- 4:42Speaker 6: that CIA Director John Ratcliffe was in Moscow today and
- 4:46Speaker 6: met with GRU counterparts and FSB counterparts in a rare
- 4:50Speaker 6: and secret visit. Go figure. When relations between Washington and
- 4:57Speaker 6: Moscow remained strained over the war in Ukraine, Kremlin spokesman
- 5:02Speaker 6: Dmitry Peskov said Ratcliffe did not meet with Vladimir Putin,
- 5:06Speaker 6: who had been informed of the meetings, of course, as
- 5:12Speaker 6: Peskov pointed out. The Trump administration is facing legal backlash
- 5:18Speaker 6: over its efforts to tie public safety monies to election reforms.
- 5:23Speaker 6: The latest lawsuit filed by Harris County and El Paso
- 5:27Speaker 6: County in Texas, the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, Tennessee,
- 5:33Speaker 6: and the city of Columbus, Ohio, according to the Texas Tribune.
- 5:39Speaker 6: Three of the Marines... received medals for their actions outside
- 5:44Speaker 6: of Abbey Gate in Afghanistan from Secretary of War Pete
- 5:49Speaker 6: Hegseth presented them with the Bronze Star Medals.
- 5:52Speaker 8: Every state is home to significant historic sites that tell
- 5:56Speaker 8: the American story. But not every site is telling that
- 5:59Speaker 8: story honestly and fairly. That's why the Heritage Foundation created
- 6:03Speaker 8: the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites. This interactive guide equips
- 6:07Speaker 8: American citizens with the tools they need to enjoy the
- 6:11Speaker 8: sites that depict some of the greatest moments in our
- 6:14Speaker 8: nation's history, analyzing them for historical accuracy, and provides resources
- 6:19Speaker 8: for families or educators planning a visit. It currently covers
- 6:23Speaker 8: over 45 sites in the 13 original colonies, but sites
- 6:27Speaker 8: from all 50 states will be added in time for
- 6:30Speaker 8: citizens to celebrate America 250 this summer. From Mount Vernon
- 6:34Speaker 8: to Independence Hall to Gettysburg and more, Americans deserve transparency
- 6:40Speaker 8: and sites that steward our history faithfully deserve our gratitude.
- 6:44Speaker 8: The Heritage Guide to Historic Sites invites every American to
- 6:48Speaker 8: rediscover the places and stories that define our nation, whether
- 6:52Speaker 8: it's across the country or in your backyard. Visit historicsites.heritage.org

- 9:33Speaker 11: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
- 9:37Speaker 11: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
- 9:41Speaker 11: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
- 9:45Speaker 11: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
- 9:48Speaker 11: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
- 9:53Speaker 11: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
- 9:56Speaker 11: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
- 10:00Speaker 11: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.

- 10:05Speaker 11: Susan Rehm of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. When
- 10:08Speaker 11: I speak with my patients, I urge them to get
- 10:10Speaker 11: all their recommended vaccines. Now I'm urging you to speak
- 10:14Speaker 11: with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
- 10:17Speaker 11: For more information about the vaccines that are recommended for
- 10:20Speaker 11: adults and the diseases they prevent, like HPV, whooping cough, tetanus,

- 13:15Speaker 1: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
- 13:20Speaker 1: the second most famous Thomas in Charlottesville.
- 13:25Speaker 6: Hey, I don't know what reminded me of this, but
- 13:27Speaker 6: I did want to mention, stay tuned after we get
- 13:30Speaker 6: back from Shanksville. We're going to be in Shanksville, September 10th, 11th, 12th.
- 13:36Speaker 6: for broadcast in and around the 25th anniversary of the
- 13:40Speaker 6: terror attacks on the United States. But when we get back,
- 13:45Speaker 6: major concert announcement that involves First Thing Today, both in
- 13:50Speaker 6: our flagship city and where you're enjoying us as well.
- 13:54Speaker 6: I can't really say anything else to that, but you'll
- 13:57Speaker 6: have to just infer from their and I know you're
- 14:02Speaker 6: investigative souls. You'll figure it out probably, but I'm just
- 14:05Speaker 6: not allowed to say because, well, lawyers. James Locke is
- 14:09Speaker 6: on the phone with us, our friends from jcsgold.com, to
- 14:14Speaker 6: tell us how gold and silver are doing this morning,
- 14:17Speaker 6: if they had a little bit of a bounce back
- 14:18Speaker 6: or not. It was a wobbly first couple of days
- 14:22Speaker 6: of the week for the precious metals world. James, how
- 14:24Speaker 6: are you doing this morning? I'm doing well, Joe.
- 14:28Speaker 7: Gold and silver ended the day strong yesterday. Currently pulling
- 14:33Speaker 7: back a little bit, consistent with that little wobbliness here.
- 14:37Speaker 7: They're mixed this morning. Gold is down just $ 13, about
- 14:40Speaker 7: a third of a percent, to $ 4, 581. Silver is up
- 14:41Speaker 7: about a tenth of a percent to $ 68.
- 14:42Speaker 14: 21.
- 14:42Speaker 7: So a little mixed this morning, but still a great
- 14:45Speaker 7: buying opportunity as we kind of, you know, get used
- 14:56Speaker 7: to these new prices after after the breakout from two weeks.
- 14:59Speaker 6: Ago and i know that silver has been flirting with
- 15:02Speaker 6: 70 you've mentioned in the past james that silver historically
- 15:06Speaker 6: has been more more of a balanced position against gold
- 15:12Speaker 6: versus the gold price and years ago it was heavily
- 15:16Speaker 6: unbalanced it got better but is it still unbalanced the
- 15:20Speaker 6: the based on historic values of gold v silver.
- 15:25Speaker 20: Yeah, the gold ratio is currently still out of balance.
- 15:31Speaker 20: It was a lot closer and a lot more normal
- 15:35Speaker 20: back in January when silver was over $ 100 and even
- 15:38Speaker 20: got to $ 120. That was the closest we've seen to
- 15:42Speaker 20: a normal gold to silver ratio in a long time.
- 15:47Speaker 20: Right now, though, silver has dropped from that $ 120 high
- 15:51Speaker 20: back in January to has been much more extreme than gold.
- 15:54Speaker 20: So a lot of clients are seeing that as a
- 15:57Speaker 20: great buying opportunity that the historical story with silver is
- 16:00Speaker 20: that it's way undervalued compared to gold because it's used
- 16:04Speaker 20: in data centers and electric cars and solar panels and
- 16:08Speaker 20: every direction industry.
- 16:10Speaker 7: It seems like the future is moving towards silver is
- 16:15Speaker 7: a very important industrial metal.
- 16:17Speaker 6: Well, and that's, you know, one of the points you
- 16:18Speaker 6: want to make into it is it's not just because,
- 16:21Speaker 6: you know, rings and earrings are made out of it.
- 16:25Speaker 6: Computers and cell phones and all this other stuff that
- 16:27Speaker 6: we use a little bit in the United States, even
- 16:30Speaker 6: with the new meta platform deal that's going to restrict
- 16:33Speaker 6: how much your kids are using their smartphone. You're still
- 16:36Speaker 6: going to have to have it because otherwise, you know,
- 16:38Speaker 6: kid doesn't talk to you for the rest of the.
- 16:41Speaker 6: calendar year, James. But I appreciate everything you guys do.
- 16:45Speaker 6: If you want advice on where you are in the
- 16:48Speaker 6: world of gold and silver, maybe you haven't started. You
- 16:51Speaker 6: just hear everyone else doing it. Don't be that guy.
- 16:55Speaker 6: Don't feel like you have to do something just because
- 16:57Speaker 6: everyone else did. Call a family business that's here to
- 17:00Speaker 6: help you make your best choice because they'd rather you
- 17:04Speaker 6: be happy with where you are and come back to
- 17:07Speaker 6: them in a week, then try to get it all
- 17:08Speaker 6: up front and closers get coffee. You know what I'm
- 17:11Speaker 6: talking about. So 434-979-COIN is their phone number, and you
- 17:18Speaker 6: can also go to their website anytime at jcsgold.com. You
- 17:23Speaker 6: have an awesome morning, James. Thanks, Joe. You too. And
- 17:27Speaker 6: our number is 434-882-4217.
- 17:34Speaker 2: The FBI.
- 17:38Speaker 6: So the Chinese hackers, and really, could we not have
- 17:45Speaker 6: found a website, QAnon, to associate with these hackers? Chinese hackers,
- 17:52Speaker 6: and I guess they've stopped short of saying Chinese government hackers,
- 17:57Speaker 6: although from what I understand, if you're a Chinese operation...
- 18:01Speaker 6: The government owns half of what you did anyway, so
- 18:06Speaker 6: there we are. But according to the Department of Justice,
- 18:13Speaker 6: and here's where we come down. Yes, people are going
- 18:17Speaker 6: to try, and I don't know who is behind, they say,
- 18:21Speaker 6: a Chinese hacking operation under the websites Qscan and QTRouter.
- 18:31Speaker 6: And they don't specify whether they were fishing expeditions or
- 18:39Speaker 6: if they were targeting. And I talked to a security
- 18:44Speaker 6: guy and he chided me for being in the media.
- 18:47Speaker 6: He said, I don't know about you specifically, Joe. He said,
- 18:51Speaker 6: but the media portrays these hacking operations incorrectly. He said
- 19:01Speaker 6: that you really should be pointing to how the liveware
- 19:06Speaker 6: in the facility allowed the hacker in. And I said,
- 19:11Speaker 6: what do you mean? He said, well, I know you
- 19:12Speaker 6: always refer to the humans that operate computers as liveware. Yes.
- 19:16Speaker 6: And it's old. I mean, I've been around since computers.
- 19:21Speaker 6: I had a computer class in high school. They were
- 19:25Speaker 6: just coming out. It was still MS-DOS and all of that.
- 19:28Speaker 6: But Basic and Fortran, Fortran before there was a 4chan.
- 19:39Speaker 6: And his point was that in order for these hacks
- 19:43Speaker 6: to go on, somebody within the organization these days has
- 19:47Speaker 6: to click OK. And I mentioned to him, I said, well,
- 19:52Speaker 6: the Hillary email scandal, wasn't that John Podesta, supposedly the
- 19:57Speaker 6: smartest man in Washington history, clicking some phishing email? He said, yes.
- 20:05Speaker 6: He said, you're the only person who seems to know that.
- 20:08Speaker 6: So I may not be the only one who knows it.
- 20:10Speaker 6: I'm the only one who points out the fact that
- 20:12Speaker 6: it was John Podesta's emails that we all read on
- 20:16Speaker 6: WikiLeaks that are the ones that he shared with Hillary
- 20:22Speaker 6: about screwing Bernie Sanders over. But he had to click some,
- 20:28Speaker 6: you know, I don't know, some email that said, see
- 20:32Speaker 6: what the Golden Girls look like today or something, you know,
- 20:35Speaker 6: something that would get his attention. Stop shaking your head.
- 20:41Speaker 6: You've seen these emails. All right, maybe you're not getting
- 20:44Speaker 6: ones about the Golden Girls, but you know what I'm
- 20:46Speaker 6: talking about. So somebody at these organizations, Department of Justice, NASA,
- 20:52Speaker 6: Federal Reserve, and in the U.S. Senate, it would be
- 20:56Speaker 6: funny if it was Mark Warner's office. And not just
- 21:00Speaker 6: because of the fact that he is continuously reminding us
- 21:05Speaker 6: that he is the vice chair of the Intel Committee.
- 21:08Speaker 6: I just think the irony of Mark Warner's, or Mark
- 21:12Speaker 6: himself clicking, oh, wow. See what Rosalind Carter looks like today?
- 21:20Speaker 14: Click.
- 21:21Speaker 6: Oh, no, I've let a virus in. You may have
- 21:27Speaker 6: a settlement from the meta settlement deal. And I'm sure
- 21:31Speaker 6: there are phishing emails going out even as we speak saying,
- 21:35Speaker 6: find out if you're getting any money from the meta settlement.
- 21:38Speaker 6: Because the quickie stories that it's getting on the evening news,
- 21:42Speaker 6: they'll lie to the fact that you ain't getting the squat.
- 21:46Speaker 6: But the phishers will play that. And you click the
- 21:49Speaker 6: link and then you're on Qscan or QT Router or
- 21:53Speaker 6: any of these other sites. Maybe you went there intentionally.
- 21:57Speaker 6: Maybe you liked the name. Maybe you thought it was QAnon.

- 23:10Speaker 4: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, SUV, or light truck,
- 23:14Speaker 4: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
- 23:17Speaker 4: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
- 23:21Speaker 4: That's what you should use. But there are exceptions to
- 23:23Speaker 4: the rule. Many high-end or luxury vehicles call for premium
- 23:26Speaker 4: or higher octane fuel. And the reason for this is
- 23:29Speaker 4: not just due to the octane rating. There are better
- 23:31Speaker 4: fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know, too,
- 23:35Speaker 4: that vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
- 23:38Speaker 4: with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
- 23:41Speaker 4: their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
- 23:44Speaker 4: your fuel choices around, say, every third tankful, you may
- 23:47Speaker 4: find better performance and miles per gallon because you are
- 23:50Speaker 4: cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive. Just
- 23:53Speaker 4: don't tell your mechanic you're trying to replace them anytime soon.
- 23:56Speaker 4: With your automotive prescription, I'm Ron Anany and the Car Doctor.
- 23:59Speaker 4: See you next time.

- 28:12Speaker 1: On your to-do list, putting the radio on is the
- 28:15Speaker 1: first thing today.
- 28:15Speaker 6: Ray asks, what's a high.
- 28:17Speaker 16: Roller like Gavin Newsom interested in where the choo-choo go?
- 28:36Speaker 6: And this is one of the great points of where
- 28:42Speaker 6: we've got to in America is that just the appearance
- 28:49Speaker 6: of process, appearance of doing something, has replaced actually doing something.
- 28:58Speaker 6: Were Californians screaming for high-speed rail?
- 29:02Speaker 21: No.
- 29:05Speaker 6: Was California hemorrhaging jobs because there wasn't high-speed rail between L.A.
- 29:11Speaker 6: and San Francisco?
- 29:13Speaker 14: No.
- 29:13Speaker 6: I mean, they were hemorrhaging citizens, but not because of
- 29:18Speaker 6: the trains. So why do it? Because it's something. Because
- 29:27Speaker 6: it's something to do. And so they take all your
- 29:37Speaker 6: money and they do these patronage programs. And I was
- 29:40Speaker 6: talking to some of the folks who cover California for
- 29:46Speaker 6: the California page at the Daily Signal. And what hasn't
- 29:51Speaker 6: really been connected yet are these contractors and all these
- 29:58Speaker 6: builders that had been given contracts pro forma, in many cases,
- 30:05Speaker 6: but in some cases there were bidding attempts, or at
- 30:09Speaker 6: least the dog and pony show of a bidding process,
- 30:14Speaker 6: and who they had given political campaign contributions to, Gavin Newsom,
- 30:19Speaker 6: for example. And this is always the case. So they
- 30:26Speaker 6: take your money, threaten you with prison or economic devastation
- 30:36Speaker 6: if you don't pay. They'll take your land from you.
- 30:41Speaker 6: They'll take your property from you. They'll take your freedom
- 30:44Speaker 6: from you if you don't pay. And is there any
- 30:48Speaker 6: place in the Constitution for that?
- 30:51Speaker 14: No.
- 30:53Speaker 6: There's an establishment that taxing authority has to exist, but
- 30:59Speaker 6: the taxing was going to be trafficked through the U.S. Senate.
- 31:05Speaker 6: So the senators, because they were appointed by the states
- 31:08Speaker 6: at the time, had final approval over the budget because
- 31:15Speaker 6: they would go back to the states that they represented
- 31:18Speaker 6: and said, yeah, this is the new federal budget and
- 31:21Speaker 6: this is our percentage. And after the Civil War, They
- 31:30Speaker 6: needed to fix that because when all the southern states seceded,
- 31:34Speaker 6: there was a big problem. The north had promises that
- 31:39Speaker 6: it was making based on the tax collections out of
- 31:43Speaker 6: the south. We already had social programs and things like
- 31:52Speaker 6: that going on in these northeastern cities where manufacturing was
- 31:57Speaker 6: already the thing, but that didn't have as many jobs,
- 32:01Speaker 6: so you had social programs and things that were taxing
- 32:04Speaker 6: the federal budget to support. So when the southern states seceded,
- 32:12Speaker 6: the answer from Washington was, oh, hell no. And I
- 32:17Speaker 6: know there's controversy about the first half of our Civil War,
- 32:23Speaker 6: the first conflagration of our American Civil War, as opposed
- 32:27Speaker 6: to the one the re-ignition that we're heading towards. But
- 32:32Speaker 6: that first conflagration, yes, it was over slavery. But the
- 32:38Speaker 6: invasion was because of taxes. There is a tax. I
- 32:44Speaker 6: know it was a common thing. There was a whole
- 32:46Speaker 6: thing on the internet about, and you know it's good there,
- 32:50Speaker 6: ask Meta. There was a whole thing on the internet about,
- 32:54Speaker 6: you know, the Civil War wasn't about slavery. Yes, it was. Yes,
- 32:58Speaker 6: it was, but it was also about taxes. So you can't,
- 33:02Speaker 6: all the naysayers who would say, oh, that's just conspicuous.
- 33:08Speaker 6: The northern states lost all the money that they were
- 33:11Speaker 6: using for social programs, even at that time. The modern
- 33:18Speaker 6: industrial cities hadn't figured out how to create and to
- 33:23Speaker 6: foment work. They were trying to protect money. their buddies' jobs.
- 33:32Speaker 6: So they were doing programs that they didn't have the
- 33:36Speaker 6: money for. And Gavin Newsom building this train to nowhere
- 33:39Speaker 6: is just another one of these jobs that doesn't do anything.
- 33:43Speaker 6: The one thing about the WPA that you can't say,
- 33:48Speaker 6: in great degree anyway, is that they built useless stuff.
- 33:52Speaker 6: The problem is now, We point to the WPA and
- 33:57Speaker 6: the make-work jobs of the 20s and 30s, the 19,
- 34:01Speaker 6: 20s and 30s, and say, well, if we did it then,
- 34:05Speaker 6: we should do it now. Okay, so they built high
- 34:07Speaker 6: schools and they built dams and they created reservoirs and
- 34:11Speaker 6: hydroelectric power and they built roads and bridges and Now
- 34:19Speaker 6: we're building a train nobody's going to use. More people
- 34:23Speaker 6: are going to ride the Los Angeles subway system than
- 34:26Speaker 6: are ever going to ride this train to nowhere in California.
- 34:32Speaker 6: I guarantee it. What is the daily.
- 34:37Speaker 6: I'm sure Los Angeles doesn't tell you what the ridership
- 34:41Speaker 6: of the subway is there. But it's a joke. The
- 34:45Speaker 6: only time anyone ever sees the Los Angeles subway system...
- 34:49Speaker 6: is in a movie where they need to shoot somebody
- 34:51Speaker 6: running through a subway system because there's never anyone on
- 34:55Speaker 6: it so they can shut it down for a day
- 34:57Speaker 6: to shoot some Keanu Reeves movie. You're efforting, good luck,
- 35:08Speaker 6: but I'm pretty sure even if it's a couple of
- 35:11Speaker 6: hundred people, it would be a lot for me. Oh,
- 35:19Speaker 6: you've got to be kidding. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- 35:26Speaker 6: According to Los Angeles, of course, so you have to
- 35:28Speaker 6: take the source material. According to Los Angeles, 211,000 people
- 35:32Speaker 6: board a Los Angeles metro subway car each day. Now,
- 35:45Speaker 6: that may sound like a lot of money, a lot
- 35:47Speaker 6: of people, until you realize how many people live in
- 35:51Speaker 6: Los Angeles. Now we have to do a comparison. Now
- 36:01Speaker 6: we have to find out, because the subway system that
- 36:05Speaker 6: was built by private enterprise... I want to know, you know,
- 36:12Speaker 6: how many people on a daily basis ride the New
- 36:14Speaker 6: York City subway system. I just, as a comparison. Oh, yeah, okay.
- 36:20Speaker 6: So average weekday, according to the city of New York
- 36:23Speaker 6: and the Metropolitan Transit Authority, is 4.83 million people ride
- 36:32Speaker 6: the New York City subway system every day. And they're broke,
- 36:35Speaker 6: by the way. People are paying $ 2 a $ 2 a
- 36:39Speaker 6: ride in New York, $ 2.
- 36:40Speaker 10: 25?
- 36:40Speaker 6: And they have 4 million people, 4.8 million people a day,
- 36:47Speaker 6: and they're broke because it's being run by a government.
- 36:53Speaker 6: But I will guarantee you more people ride the LA
- 36:57Speaker 6: subway system than will ever ride Gavin Newsom's train to nowhere,
- 37:02Speaker 6: high speed or not. Because as a friend of mine
- 37:06Speaker 6: from California pointed out, All the time you save in
- 37:10Speaker 6: the traversing in between the train station far east of
- 37:16Speaker 6: Los Angeles to the train station far east of San
- 37:19Speaker 6: Francisco is then consumed getting to the train station from
- 37:23Speaker 6: Los Angeles and then from the train station into San Francisco.
- 37:28Speaker 6: So you might as well just drive the 101, as
- 37:32Speaker 6: it was put to me. I've never personally driven the 101,
- 37:36Speaker 6: but I understand it's beautiful. It's slow, but it's beautiful.
- 37:44Speaker 6: But we build things that nobody needs anymore. The point
- 37:48Speaker 6: is that, you know, even in the make work area
- 37:50Speaker 6: that all these people point to as their precedent for
- 37:54Speaker 6: doing these projects, in the WPA, they built things we use.
- 37:59Speaker 15: Can you believe with all the recent violent protests, looting
- 38:03Speaker 15: and destruction, Some areas are considering either defunding or.
- 38:07Speaker 6: Abolishing the police.
- 38:09Speaker 15: At a time when America's neighborhoods need the protection of
- 38:12Speaker 15: police the most, some elected officials would rather create.
- 38:15Speaker 1: More chaos by playing politics.
- 38:18Speaker 15: If you're sick of elected officials caving in to demands
- 38:21Speaker 15: of the radical left, you're not alone. It's time we
- 38:25Speaker 15: stand up and declare our support for local police. The

- 39:02Speaker 9: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 39:06Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 39:11Speaker 9: I'm Dr.
- 39:12Speaker 5: Mitch.
- 39:13Speaker 9: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
- 39:18Speaker 9: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 39:23Speaker 9: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 39:27Speaker 9: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 39:31Speaker 9: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation has antioxidant
- 39:37Speaker 9: properties and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or
- 39:42Speaker 9: at least slow the spread of cancer and in many
- 39:45Speaker 9: instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells

- 40:58Speaker 24: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
- 41:00Speaker 24: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 41:03Speaker 24: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
- 41:05Speaker 24: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 41:07Speaker 24: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 41:11Speaker 24: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 41:14Speaker 24: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
- 41:16Speaker 24: their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows them
- 41:19Speaker 24: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
- 41:22Speaker 24: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
- 41:25Speaker 24: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
- 41:29Speaker 24: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving
- 41:32Speaker 24: work every day Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
- 41:35Speaker 24: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
- 41:37Speaker 24: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
- 41:40Speaker 24: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
- 41:43Speaker 24: trained roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
- 41:46Speaker 24: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
- 41:49Speaker 24: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
- 41:52Speaker 24: planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.

- 42:02Speaker 12: And now a speech.
- 42:05Speaker 19: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 42:09Speaker 6: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
- 42:11Speaker 24: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
- 42:13Speaker 19: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
- 42:16Speaker 19: somebody call me a ride.
- 42:18Speaker 18: Love that guy.
- 42:19Speaker 19: Me too.
- 42:20Speaker 3: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 42:22Speaker 3: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.

- 44:15Speaker 1: On a need-to-know basis, because you need to know the
- 44:19Speaker 1: first thing today. Why has it got to be built?
- 44:22Speaker 12: What do you mean, why has it got to be built?
- 44:24Speaker 2: It's a bypass.
- 44:25Speaker 6: You've got to build bypasses. That's right. You build things
- 44:28Speaker 6: just because we start to look impolite. If we've taken
- 44:32Speaker 6: all this money and we don't do anything with it,
- 44:36Speaker 6: we're facing this in so many places where the great
- 44:42Speaker 6: slush fund in the sky is hidden behind your schools.
- 44:46Speaker 6: And I'll say this, WPA, the Make Work programs, during
- 44:53Speaker 6: the Depression, built things like my high school. Basin High
- 44:59Speaker 6: School in Queens, New York, was built, I think it
- 45:04Speaker 6: opened in 1933. And for every town that says, we
- 45:08Speaker 6: must pass a bond referendum to build a new high
- 45:11Speaker 6: school because our 10-year-old high school is colossally out of date,
- 45:16Speaker 6: I have never cottoned any quarter for these people who
- 45:20Speaker 6: go around saying, our 10-year-old high school needs to be replaced.
- 45:25Speaker 7: Really?
- 45:29Speaker 6: My 90-year-old high school has not been replaced yet, and
- 45:32Speaker 6: it's still not full.
- 45:34Speaker 15: Oh, sure.
- 45:35Speaker 6: It looks like the outside of a penitentiary, completely with
- 45:40Speaker 6: the bars on the windows and everything. but it kept
- 45:46Speaker 6: us dry on rainy days, kept us warm on snowy days.
- 45:50Speaker 6: And if you were paying attention, there were teachers in
- 45:53Speaker 6: there trying to teach you stuff. But now we just
- 45:57Speaker 6: build stuff because you've got trillion dollar budgets and a
- 46:03Speaker 6: bunch of people standing there saying, and what are you
- 46:07Speaker 6: going to do with it now, young man? And instead
- 46:10Speaker 6: of giving it back, They do dumb things like build
- 46:14Speaker 6: the railway to nowhere. And we have to rein this
- 46:21Speaker 6: stuff in. And a lot of it is driven by
- 46:25Speaker 6: the green agenda, but a lot of it hides behind
- 46:28Speaker 6: your schools. The chief driver of grift in your tax
- 46:35Speaker 6: misallocations are school capital expenditure budgets. And I'll bet you
- 46:41Speaker 6: you're sitting there saying, I've never, does my school have
- 46:44Speaker 6: a capital? Yes, your school has a capital expenditure budget.
- 46:49Speaker 6: It's a slush fund in which money is allocated pretty
- 46:54Speaker 6: much every couple of weeks in your school board meeting, $ 50, 000
- 46:58Speaker 6: to $ 100, 000 at a pop. And generally what will happen
- 47:03Speaker 6: is the superintendent will say, yeah, we have a project
- 47:06Speaker 6: that needs $ 100, 000 funding. We're proposing from the capital expenditure budget.
- 47:12Speaker 6: And the school board members in on the scam don't
- 47:17Speaker 6: question the superintendent at all. They just go, okay, allocate.
- 47:22Speaker 6: We're going to move $ 100, 000 from there. And you don't
- 47:25Speaker 6: know where it went. And it's going to some guy
- 47:30Speaker 6: who held a fundraiser for the chair of the school board.
- 47:33Speaker 6: And you're like, oh, wow, that's convenient. Well, you know,
- 47:36Speaker 6: he had the right contracting company. It's like Halliburton on
- 47:40Speaker 6: a small scale. And this is where so much of
- 47:43Speaker 6: your money goes. And it's not to say that a
- 47:46Speaker 6: new playground wouldn't help in the school or paving the
- 47:49Speaker 6: parking lot or a new roof. But say so. Detail it.
- 47:54Speaker 6: Put it in the budget so we see. Don't just
- 47:56Speaker 6: come up at 10 p.m. on a Thursday night and say, yeah,
- 47:59Speaker 6: we need $ 50, 000 from the capital budget. And now here,
- 48:04Speaker 6: as in many places, they're instituting sales taxs to put
- 48:09Speaker 6: more money in there, a regressive tax on people who
- 48:13Speaker 6: can ill afford it, but you're going to be asked
- 48:15Speaker 6: to pay for construction projects. You don't know who, what, where, when,
- 48:19Speaker 6: and why about, nor do they feel compelled to tell
- 48:23Speaker 6: you because they say, oh, it's just the operations of the,
- 48:26Speaker 6: don't you care? Don't you care about children? Joel's on
- 48:32Speaker 6: the line with us at 434-882-4217.
- 48:33Speaker 2: Good morning, Joel.
- 48:34Speaker 6: What's on your mind first thing this morning?
- 48:39Speaker 26: Good morning. I think a lot of these problems with
- 48:44Speaker 26: the Save America Act and trying to get organized with
- 48:48Speaker 26: who's who is dependent upon the Census Bureau. Originally, it
- 48:53Speaker 26: was conducted by Thomas Jefferson called the Workforce, and they
- 48:58Speaker 26: had like 650 assistants, and it took 18 months to
- 49:02Speaker 26: do it. And we rely upon the enumerators. The enumerators
- 49:06Speaker 26: are now digital entry people, you know, computer people that
- 49:13Speaker 26: are agents for the government. And it's under the.
- 49:17Speaker 21: U.S.
- 49:18Speaker 26: Census Bureau and Department of Commerce. And I think a
- 49:22Speaker 26: lot of that is how are we getting, as everybody's
- 49:27Speaker 26: trying to say, how are we getting the information from
- 49:29Speaker 26: the states? Yet the 10th Amendment blocks a lot of
- 49:32Speaker 26: the things that we can pull from states because states
- 49:36Speaker 26: are considered, you know, part of the republic. They're using
- 49:41Speaker 26: certain clauses within their own state's legislation to block information
- 49:51Speaker 26: that the federal government needs. It just seems like a
- 49:54Speaker 26: juxtaposition on gathering information. A lot of the things you
- 49:59Speaker 26: talk about, even this morning, are dependent upon accuracy of
- 50:04Speaker 26: the populations.
- 50:05Speaker 6: Well, and something you need to watch out for, at
- 50:07Speaker 6: least twice in the last 10 years, Nancy Pelosi and
- 50:12Speaker 6: Hakeem Jeffries and the crew on the left have tried
- 50:15Speaker 6: to move under the banner of easier to use, what's
- 50:25Speaker 6: it called? It's called sampling. So they'd survey sample people.
- 50:32Speaker 6: series of blocks in a neighborhood and then they would
- 50:35Speaker 6: take that sample and they would extrapolate it out over
- 50:38Speaker 6: a region and they'd say that's that's our sampling data
- 50:43Speaker 6: instead of actually doing an enumeration and luckily that's been
- 50:47Speaker 6: stopped several times but they keep coming back and trying
- 50:51Speaker 6: it and that's going to be the next one joel.
- 50:54Speaker 26: The first original questions which i looked up are it
- 50:58Speaker 26: says who named the head of the household free white
- 51:01Speaker 26: males age 16 or older, number of free white males,
- 51:05Speaker 26: number of free white females, number of other free persons,
- 51:09Speaker 26: number of enslaved people. So are we counting people that
- 51:13Speaker 26: are illegal as part of the now what we would
- 51:16Speaker 26: say or in the past enslaved people?
- 51:19Speaker 6: No, people want to because they're consuming public services. Not
- 51:23Speaker 6: that they should be, but they are. So that, you know,
- 51:26Speaker 6: the the tail wagging the dog is. First, we give
- 51:30Speaker 6: them public services and then we say, well, they have
- 51:33Speaker 6: to get a vote because they're getting public services. And
- 51:36Speaker 6: it's crazy because that's back ass words engineering. But this
- 51:41Speaker 6: is why I say we're tracking towards just a reconflagration
- 51:44Speaker 6: of the old civil war. We have a permanent underclass
- 51:50Speaker 6: of people who live in the shadows, work in the shadows,
- 51:53Speaker 6: work for substandard wages, if at all, and And we
- 51:59Speaker 6: pat ourselves on the back for being humanitarian about it.
- 52:02Speaker 6: It's crazy there. But be careful about this apportionment because
- 52:10Speaker 6: we play games beyond it. And the one thing that
- 52:13Speaker 6: we do do is an actual enumeration of the population.
- 52:18Speaker 6: But from there, all the perversions start to begin, not
- 52:22Speaker 6: the least of which is is the 1929 Act for
- 52:26Speaker 6: Permanent Reapportionment. So I don't even know why we bother
- 52:30Speaker 6: counting anymore, except that we move some congressional districts out
- 52:34Speaker 6: of California and into Texas and places like that. But
- 52:38Speaker 6: it's not a real representation of where we are. But yeah,
- 52:43Speaker 6: be careful. Watch for it. Every time I hear it,
- 52:46Speaker 6: sampling come up. I'm on the phone to somebody stopping.
- 52:49Speaker 6: You know, it's true.
- 52:50Speaker 27: Difficult times have a way of focusing us. We have
- 52:54Speaker 27: to think about what matters most when it comes to
- 52:56Speaker 27: our spending, our healthcare. This is why so many people
- 52:59Speaker 27: are joining MediShare right now. MediShare is a trusted way
