- 0:44Speaker 4: This is the radio program that first and foremost is
- 0:47Speaker 4: not afraid of calling itself a radio program because I've
- 0:50Speaker 4: never really well, it's not true. When I was probably
- 0:52Speaker 4: fourteen fifteen, I was really concerned about what other kids
- 0:56Speaker 4: thought about me. That has grown out of me. I'm
- 1:00Speaker 4: not sure exactly what therapy I used, but once I
- 1:03Speaker 4: figure it out, I'll share it with you. But for now,
- 1:06Speaker 4: we don't care what kids say, content whatever. It's a
- 1:11Speaker 4: radio program that tells you what went on last night.
- 1:14Speaker 4: We'll tell you our analysis of what went on last night,
- 1:17Speaker 4: but most importantly, we want to hear how it is
- 1:21Speaker 4: impacting you where you are at four three four eight
- 1:25Speaker 4: eight two four two one seven. You can do it
- 1:28Speaker 4: by text message, you can do it by telephone call,
- 1:32Speaker 4: or you can do it by email at JT in
- 1:35Speaker 4: the Morning radio at gmail dot com. Another war Powers
- 1:40Speaker 4: resolution falls by the wayside in the Senate yesterday, and
- 1:47Speaker 4: Tim Kain is, you know, having his usual He has
- 1:51Speaker 4: probably six or seven standard statements about this. Tim Kaine
- 1:56Speaker 4: ran Paul another war Powers resolution, which a friend of
- 2:02Speaker 4: mine said, the fun of this is it is exactly
- 2:06Speaker 4: what the Left does all the time, which is tell
- 2:10Speaker 4: you something that's not true and then use that non
- 2:14Speaker 4: truth as the basis for a bunch of things that
- 2:17Speaker 4: if the original thing were true, then we would be
- 2:22Speaker 4: able to say all the other stuff. And it's it's
- 2:26Speaker 4: one of those Svengali like magic tricks that they do
- 2:31Speaker 4: in Washington, d c. To make you think one thing
- 2:35Speaker 4: is happening when another isn't. This is a part of
- 2:38Speaker 4: that law fair that we talk about frequently, which is
- 2:43Speaker 4: that ability to create laws that allow you to break
- 2:47Speaker 4: other laws that most people would think would be there.
- 2:54Speaker 4: And it's it's sad, but it is one of the
- 2:57Speaker 4: great gifts of our elected class in America that they
- 3:02Speaker 4: can pretend one thing is going on while another actually is.
- 3:07Speaker 4: So let's begin with our first things and then we
- 3:10Speaker 4: will discuss us. Senate Republicans rejected a bill to halt
- 3:16Speaker 4: the war against Iran in a show of support for
- 3:20Speaker 4: the administration. That vote was fifty three forty seven. There
- 3:24Speaker 4: will be a twin bill in the House getting a
- 3:28Speaker 4: vote at some point today. Speaker Mike Johnson said there
- 3:33Speaker 4: will also be a vote about the reopening of the
- 3:37Speaker 4: Department of Homeland Security, which some might think would be
- 3:40Speaker 4: important as we are now in a war footing combatant
- 3:45Speaker 4: with Iran, that having paid members of a department that's
- 3:50Speaker 4: tasked with protecting us from people getting into the country
- 3:54Speaker 4: to do as harm would be important. Iranian intelligence operates,
- 4:00Speaker 4: according to a report reached out to the CIA, just
- 4:04Speaker 4: a day and a half after the attacks began, to
- 4:08Speaker 4: start US talks with the Persian country. Officials said they
- 4:16Speaker 4: were trying to arrange for a third western country to
- 4:20Speaker 4: act as mediators. New York Times reports said the operatives
- 4:25Speaker 4: from Iraan's Ministry of Intelligence contacted the CIA indirectly through
- 4:30Speaker 4: a third country spy agency right after the attacks began. Meanwhile,
- 4:36Speaker 4: Benjamin NETTNYA, who's demanding information about these secret meetings that
- 4:41Speaker 4: he said his administration in Israel knows nothing about. Iranian
- 4:46Speaker 4: state television air to message Thursday from one of the
- 4:50Speaker 4: many Ayatolas there, Javadi Amoli, calling for the shedding of
- 4:54Speaker 4: blood from Israelis and specifically US President Donald Trump. France's
- 5:00Speaker 4: foreign minister has spoken with the Iranian foreign minister and
- 5:05Speaker 4: condemned Iran's strikes on its neighbors after it retaliated to
- 5:10Speaker 4: US Israeli strikes. Jean Noel Burrow called France's commitment to
- 5:15Speaker 4: stability in the Middle East, to de escalation and to
- 5:19Speaker 4: resumption of demanding diplomatic dialogue. China is going to send
- 5:26Speaker 4: a special envoy into the Middle East to try to
- 5:30Speaker 4: mediate an end to the hostilities between Israel and the
- 5:33Speaker 4: United States and Iran. Jai Jun will travel in the
- 5:38Speaker 4: near future to make active efforts to help de escalate tensions.
- 5:43Speaker 4: And meanwhile, Iran launched a new wave of attack Thursday
- 5:47Speaker 4: at Israeli an American basis and threatened even more in
- 5:51Speaker 4: the days to come. After one of their navy vessels
- 5:55Speaker 4: was sunk off the Sri Lankan coast and those are
- 5:58Speaker 4: some of our first things. Yes, first Thing Today by

- 8:03Speaker 6: Considered by most Optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 6: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 8:13Speaker 6: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 6: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 6: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 6: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31Speaker 6: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:36Speaker 6: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42Speaker 6: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46Speaker 6: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51Speaker 6: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

- 10:04Speaker 8: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 8: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:08Speaker 8: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 8: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 10:15Speaker 8: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 10:17Speaker 8: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21Speaker 8: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 10:23Speaker 8: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 10:25Speaker 8: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 10:29Speaker 8: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 10:32Speaker 8: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
- 10:35Speaker 8: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
- 10:38Speaker 8: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
- 10:41Speaker 8: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
- 10:44Speaker 8: variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
- 10:46Speaker 8: help those in need. So please join me an American

- 13:12Speaker 1: Question for you from Joe Thomas, It's first thing today.
- 13:21Speaker 4: Hey hey, hey, you mean YouTube and sub sac Can
- 13:49Speaker 4: I call for a ceasefire at the newsrooms from this narrative?
- 13:56Speaker 4: And they've picked up where they left off on October seventh,
- 14:01Speaker 4: when it was these poor oppressed souls who slaughtered an
- 14:08Speaker 4: entire concert full of celebrants, parasailed in from behind, killed
- 14:16Speaker 4: them all, and the American press said, ah, look at
- 14:20Speaker 4: them fighting back, isn't that cool? And rules of engagement
- 14:30Speaker 4: versus terrorism, and they're this whole bit about whether or
- 14:45Speaker 4: not there should be a war powers that this this
- 14:50Speaker 4: all feeds into this frenzy that is acting like, uh,
- 14:55Speaker 4: I need appropriate music to depict what the press is
- 14:58Speaker 4: sort of laying out the at the poor Iranian regime
- 15:02Speaker 4: was just you know, sitting on the side of the road,
- 15:08Speaker 4: just sitting there Tehran, minding their own business, just trying
- 15:13Speaker 4: to be good followers of a law, not really threatening anybody.
- 15:24Speaker 4: They were just there looking to be the best they
- 15:29Speaker 4: could be and weren't threatening anybody, weren't paying anybody to
- 15:38Speaker 4: kill American soldiers while they weren't looking, weren't threatening to
- 15:46Speaker 4: destroy American or Israeli settlements, civilians regardless of whether they
- 15:55Speaker 4: were military members or not. No, they were just Trump
- 16:00Speaker 4: came along just because he wanted people not paying any
- 16:05Speaker 4: attention to his low poll numbers. He went and bombed
- 16:09Speaker 4: it run. Can we dispense with this please? I mean,
- 16:14Speaker 4: it's just I don't know. The problem I have mostly
- 16:19Speaker 4: is not that the people behind these newsdesks and really
- 16:23Speaker 4: the people behind the keyboards, behind the people behind the
- 16:26Speaker 4: news desk, right, this drivel is that if you say
- 16:32Speaker 4: it enough, it becomes true. My wife had to spend
- 16:34Speaker 4: almost two hours on the phone with one of her
- 16:38Speaker 4: closest friends who again called us and said, you made
- 16:41Speaker 4: me vote for this guy. Now I may my sister
- 16:45Speaker 4: won't fly, and nobody who know I'm scared And I
- 16:49Speaker 4: get it. Why, because it works. If you tell everybody
- 16:55Speaker 4: for three or four years in a row, then a
- 16:58Speaker 4: Big Mac is held food, You're gonna get a majority
- 17:02Speaker 4: of people saying, oh gonna. I'm gonna work on myself.
- 17:06Speaker 4: My new Year's resolution is to eat more Big Macs.
- 17:09Speaker 4: And I'm not slagging Big Max. I'm sure there's a
- 17:12Speaker 4: place in the periodic table for the pink gou but
- 17:18Speaker 4: it ain't health food either. But if you if you
- 17:23Speaker 4: take the big Mac out and insert the Iranian regime
- 17:27Speaker 4: in there, they ain't peaceful. Bambie sitting on the side
- 17:34Speaker 4: of the road, unaware that Godzilla's gonna come and stomp
- 17:38Speaker 4: on them. So can we stop, please for five minutes
- 17:45Speaker 4: and I will capitulate, I will stipulate, I will do
- 17:50Speaker 4: everything except arrive late that war is not a preferable thing.
- 18:01Speaker 4: We have hopefully got to a point where most civilized
- 18:06Speaker 4: people realize blowing things up is bad, killing people is bad.
- 18:14Speaker 4: There's an important There is an important difference between the
- 18:20Speaker 4: oldest of texts in the Ten Commandments and newer modern
- 18:29Speaker 4: retellings of it. The original says thou shalt not murder.
- 18:38Speaker 4: Later translations have been watered down to say thou shalt
- 18:42Speaker 4: not kill. And yes, killing someone has a profound impact.
- 18:52Speaker 4: But if they're trying to kill you and it's you
- 18:55Speaker 4: or them self, defense is covered under thou shalt not murder.
- 19:05Speaker 4: So I just want to have an honest telling of events.
- 19:12Speaker 4: The whitewashing and I call it that because I know
- 19:16Speaker 4: a lot of the activist class on the left of
- 19:19Speaker 4: anything with the word white in it is, oh, it
- 19:22Speaker 4: must be bad. So your newsrooms have been white washing Iran.
- 19:28Speaker 4: All of a sudden, they've gone through this hamas like
- 19:31Speaker 4: retelling of their story. And I know it's only day five,
- 19:38Speaker 4: but can I feel like I'm compelled to be the
- 19:44Speaker 4: foam on the wall, the carpeting on the wall that
- 19:47Speaker 4: stops the echoing of this, and I deeply appreciate you
- 19:56Speaker 4: tuning in for whatever time you can give us, and
- 19:59Speaker 4: just understand that Iran is not some innocent not some
- 20:06Speaker 4: middle school girl walking down the side of the road,
- 20:10Speaker 4: just home from home economics class, getting ready to go
- 20:14Speaker 4: to a girl Scout meeting, when all of a sudden
- 20:17Speaker 4: a car full of non citizens arrive and say, hey,
- 20:21Speaker 4: fourteen year old girls are okay in my country and
- 20:26Speaker 4: commit atrocities. These were people who were paying other groups proxies,
- 20:38Speaker 4: if you will. I've heard from people now paying people
- 20:42Speaker 4: to go kill American soldiers so they don't have to
- 20:46Speaker 4: pay the price for it. They run their money laundering
- 20:53Speaker 4: schemes and then send them the laundered money to Hezbolah
- 20:58Speaker 4: and Hamas to kill people, to kill Western civilization. And
- 21:03Speaker 4: that's what you need to boil this down to, is
- 21:07Speaker 4: Western civilization. The things that you love doing in your
- 21:19Speaker 4: world are because of Western civilization, and that's the beginning point.
- 21:26Speaker 4: They want to end Western civilization. They want to end
- 21:35Speaker 4: Western civilization, and they will do it through any methods possible.
- 21:38Speaker 4: So therefore, can we at least have an honest telling
- 21:42Speaker 4: of what's going on when Western civilization says, hey, we
- 21:47Speaker 4: don't think we're the bad guy in this. Are there
- 21:51Speaker 4: bad things that have been done by bad people through
- 21:53Speaker 4: Western civilization? Yes, doesn't mean Western civilization as a concept
- 21:59Speaker 4: is bad.
- 22:02Speaker 6: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
- 22:06Speaker 3: Yes?

- 28:08Speaker 20: The sounds about hundred to do list. Putting the radio
- 28:14Speaker 20: on is the first thing today?
- 28:25Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean we do have some conditions that you know.
- 28:29Speaker 4: It is as part of the transaction, if you will,
- 28:33Speaker 4: since everyone needs to be transactional these days, and it
- 28:38Speaker 4: is the life is transaction. I love the folks who
- 28:41Speaker 4: try to make commerce seem like a dirty thing. And
- 28:48Speaker 4: these are usually the neo Marxists, and by neo I
- 28:52Speaker 4: mean neo fights. They don't realize what's going on. They
- 28:56Speaker 4: just they just figure that they don't want to make decisions.
- 29:00Speaker 4: They don't like making decisions, so they'd rather have Pullet
- 29:03Speaker 4: Bureau make the decisions for them. That seems to be
- 29:06Speaker 4: a preferable scenario to them. A couple of text messages
- 29:10Speaker 4: on our points about Iran and their point in the world.
- 29:16Speaker 4: This one Bob emailed instead of calling this morning, says
- 29:22Speaker 4: that Russia is next on the list to be attacked,
- 29:29Speaker 4: leaving the USA in control of the majority of natural
- 29:33Speaker 4: gas and oil. Well, I don't see would we if
- 29:43Speaker 4: we invaded Russia? Is that what your premise is? I
- 29:48Speaker 4: don't see us invading Russia. I do think there are
- 29:54Speaker 4: plenty of people who had gotten to the point of
- 29:57Speaker 4: enough is enough when it came to Iran and their behaviors,
- 30:04Speaker 4: and by the fact that Russia's already increased its production
- 30:07Speaker 4: of oil to make up for the stuff that Iran
- 30:10Speaker 4: isn't producing right now, I am feeling Russia kind of
- 30:14Speaker 4: felt the same way too. Do we need to control
- 30:21Speaker 4: all the oil and natural gas in the world. And
- 30:24Speaker 4: by control, do you mean like NATO or I mean
- 30:28Speaker 4: not NATO, OPEK controls it. We've already since the eighties
- 30:38Speaker 4: been exploring and finding new sources of natural gas and oil.
- 30:46Speaker 4: I don't think there's anything we need to do in
- 30:49Speaker 4: terms of getting more. Trump is not that kind of guy.
- 30:52Speaker 4: Trump says commerce is good if you own everything, there's
- 30:56Speaker 4: no commerce. And as an advocate for small representative congressional districts,
- 31:08Speaker 4: I don't know how a president in the United States
- 31:11Speaker 4: can make a decision for somebody in Doha or Moscow
- 31:18Speaker 4: or Beijing have any inkling about it. The only reason
- 31:25Speaker 4: representative republicanism works is when it's representative. And that's part
- 31:31Speaker 4: of our problem here in the United States is we're
- 31:33Speaker 4: not representative. We have people like Tim Kaine who will
- 31:38Speaker 4: go out there and tell an essential lie and then
- 31:42Speaker 4: build a bunch of truths off of the essential lie,
- 31:48Speaker 4: and it works. He gets on TV, gets mentioned on radio,
- 31:52Speaker 4: albeit derisively here. But that's beyond and inside the point.
- 31:58Speaker 4: So you look at the moving parts that are going
- 32:02Speaker 4: on right now within a day, Iranian intelligence, not somebody
- 32:07Speaker 4: who's just going to Now there could be a question
- 32:11Speaker 4: if Iran's intelligence committee community was like, yeah, finally get
- 32:16Speaker 4: rid of this guy. Why wouldn't you have done it
- 32:19Speaker 4: yourself from the inside. That's a different matter. But these
- 32:23Speaker 4: stories of Iran reaching out to the CIA, they say
- 32:30Speaker 4: through an intermediary country, And I would put money on
- 32:38Speaker 4: it being China, because well, all right, yeah, there's a
- 32:48Speaker 4: reasonable I guess there's if we were on polymarket and
- 32:52Speaker 4: we were taking action on this, there's some odds that
- 32:56Speaker 4: it could have been Russia. But it's either China or Cutter,
- 33:05Speaker 4: not Cutter, Saudi Arabia that they would have reached out
- 33:09Speaker 4: to to say, hey, can we talk. And the reason
- 33:15Speaker 4: I believe this has legs is because Netanya, who is
- 33:23Speaker 4: bent out of shape about it. And that's good because
- 33:28Speaker 4: I don't want it to seem like we're just doing
- 33:30Speaker 4: whatever Benjamin Netanya who wants us to do, which is
- 33:33Speaker 4: another bit of this fairy tale that's being told to
- 33:37Speaker 4: the American people by the press that are just out there.
- 33:45Speaker 4: And yet, yes, I get it, we stipulated earlier blowing
- 33:50Speaker 4: things up and having people come to the end of
- 33:53Speaker 4: their lives and explosions and gunfire is not a good thing.
- 33:58Speaker 4: People get hurt, fam a torn apart, there's tears, there's crying,
- 34:03Speaker 4: and there's nothing a newsroom loves more than that kind
- 34:06Speaker 4: of stuff. And they'll sell a story to you that
- 34:09Speaker 4: this is this is us being eveil and it's and
- 34:17Speaker 4: it's not. It's that's just a mischaracterization of who Iran
- 34:22Speaker 4: was and theirs their responsibility to their citizens, which they don't.
- 34:27Speaker 4: I don't, I truly don't believe they see them as
- 34:30Speaker 4: anything more than assets. Let me get to you at
- 34:33Speaker 4: four three four eighty two four two one seven. Good morning.
- 34:36Speaker 4: You're on the air with Joe. First thing this morning.
- 34:38Speaker 4: Who's this Hey, good morning Joe. It's Joel. Good morning Joel.
- 34:42Speaker 4: And what's going on?
- 34:44Speaker 10: Well, people have to look at it this way, what's
- 34:46Speaker 10: going on in the world. It's not about our self interest.
- 34:49Speaker 10: It's not about Israel's self interest. It's about allowing for
- 34:55Speaker 10: free waterway. I mean, you know, as far as like
- 34:58Speaker 10: being able to travel through waterways without having ships pirated
- 35:04Speaker 10: and blown up. It's about being able to communicate through
- 35:09Speaker 10: telephone and radio and TV without communicating with sending terrorism
- 35:16Speaker 10: and bombs and and and people there that were trained
- 35:21Speaker 10: in madrasas or brainwash to go around and that's their
- 35:25Speaker 10: way of communicating, we're going to kill you before we
- 35:28Speaker 10: you know, we're going to scare you, we're going to
- 35:30Speaker 10: kill you. We're gonna and or through hate. And what
- 35:35Speaker 10: President Trump is doing is also making Europe look at
- 35:38Speaker 10: themselves and say, hey, we're yes, we have bases there,
- 35:41Speaker 10: but our bases aren't just for our own interests for
- 35:44Speaker 10: the world, and you all have to start doing stuff
- 35:47Speaker 10: for yourself too. You're you've become so dependent on America
- 35:52Speaker 10: that you are you're not even thinking straight about your
- 35:55Speaker 10: own protection. And and I think that's the thing that
- 35:59Speaker 10: he's creating in people's minds. He's saying, you got to
- 36:02Speaker 10: think for yourselves too, and do it as part of
- 36:05Speaker 10: what we're doing making sure we have navigation in the seas,
- 36:08Speaker 10: in the air well.
- 36:10Speaker 4: I think it's deeper and all of those things. I
- 36:12Speaker 4: believe our fruit hanging from this tree of You don't
- 36:16Speaker 4: have a right to enforce your doctrine on someone else
- 36:21Speaker 4: within your own country's borders. You bear the peril of
- 36:26Speaker 4: uprising like we were seeing tens of thousands of twenty
- 36:30Speaker 4: year olds killed, a generation lost in Iran at the
- 36:34Speaker 4: hands of their own government. You don't get to do that.
- 36:38Speaker 4: You don't have that power to just kill people because
- 36:42Speaker 4: you don't like them. You don't have the authority. The
- 36:45Speaker 4: world will not stand by when you do these things.
- 36:49Speaker 4: And that's what the essence of the Western civilization versus
- 36:56Speaker 4: the Eastern supremacy, which is you are nothing more than
- 37:01Speaker 4: a subservient cog and a machine to an end uh
- 37:05Speaker 4: and and nothing more than that. So this is this
- 37:09Speaker 4: is the root of it, I believe, Joel, which is
- 37:12Speaker 4: this idea of freedom versus orthodoxy. And and that's all
- 37:19Speaker 4: those things that you mentioned are fruit of that poison tree.
- 37:24Speaker 10: And and the other reverse of this too is we
- 37:29Speaker 10: got to stop the the Saul Olynsky knights, you know,
- 37:33Speaker 10: the training of of this wark thinking in schools that
- 37:37Speaker 10: capitalism is bad and and teach children.
- 37:41Speaker 4: At least to know what civics is well. And it's well.
- 37:46Speaker 4: But the idea that capitalism is bad is a lie
- 37:49Speaker 4: to begin with, because it presumes that there's a world
- 37:53Speaker 4: without capitalism. And and it's a lie because what that
- 37:58Speaker 4: means is that there would be so agrarian.

- 44:26Speaker 23: on the Talk Media Network.
- 44:29Speaker 24: Tonight on ABC News with David Muir. Iran a peaceful,
- 44:36Speaker 24: fun loving nation sitting by the side of the road
- 44:40Speaker 24: doing nothing, and then Trump came.
- 44:48Speaker 4: It's so silly, it's predictable. It's the same narrative. It's
- 44:53Speaker 4: the same advertising firm that convinced you a bunch of
- 44:56Speaker 4: people that parasailed into a concert and killed everyone. We're just,
- 45:02Speaker 4: you know, rebels for a cause. Joel was talking capitalism
- 45:06Speaker 4: with us. The key is not that there's a world
- 45:10Speaker 4: without capitalism, is that who decides the capital movement and
- 45:16Speaker 4: and in authoritarian regimes, it's it's the government that determines
- 45:20Speaker 4: how capital moves. In a free market, we determine how
- 45:24Speaker 4: the capital moves and we need to get back to that, right.
- 45:28Speaker 10: I agree with that and also explain, hey, you know
- 45:33Speaker 10: you you want to you want to be productive and
- 45:35Speaker 10: you want to have wealth, but you're not going to
- 45:38Speaker 10: get that in a socialist, communist Marxist system. They're only
- 45:43Speaker 10: they're only preying on you, like other like other forms
- 45:48Speaker 10: of indoctrination that aren't really true.
- 45:52Speaker 4: It's it's it's you mentioned you said indoctrination, That's what
- 45:57Speaker 4: it is. It is this that's humanizing, and the human
- 46:02Speaker 4: spirit is driven by the fact that I can do
- 46:05Speaker 4: something and I can contribute the authoritarians under the Islamist Marxism,
- 46:11Speaker 4: and that's what this is. It's Islamist based Marxism is
- 46:16Speaker 4: simply that dehumanizing that you have no say, You're going
- 46:21Speaker 4: to be told what to do and when to do
- 46:23Speaker 4: it and be grateful for them. So that's the difference
- 46:28Speaker 4: that you have to understand in this. There is always
- 46:31Speaker 4: going to be the movement of capital, it's just who
- 46:35Speaker 4: gets to have to say. And free market capitalism, as
- 46:38Speaker 4: easily as I can say, Adam Smith, is where you
- 46:42Speaker 4: decide what you're worth, what you're paid. You decide what
- 46:49Speaker 4: you're willing to pay for something. And one of the
- 46:53Speaker 4: problems with our centralized, corporatized world is that there are
- 47:00Speaker 4: people who are setting price controls. Part of the essence
- 47:03Speaker 4: of our our anti monopoly laws is that a collusion.
- 47:10Speaker 4: That kind of thing, to set prices without consulting the
- 47:16Speaker 4: consumer is bad see Obamacare. And so you know, we're
- 47:27Speaker 4: engaged in our own American version of Marxism. We have
- 47:31Speaker 4: been since the the beginnings of the New Deal. I
- 47:36Speaker 4: would argue we really sort of begun began when the Dixiecrats,
- 47:41Speaker 4: after being reunited with the country, decided that they could
- 47:45Speaker 4: pervert the commerce clause to give the federal government oversight
- 47:50Speaker 4: about just about everything that you buy or sell. And
- 47:56Speaker 4: that begins the regulatory capture that puts in this place
- 48:00Speaker 4: where it's hard for me to make the argument for capitalism,
- 48:06Speaker 4: because people believe what we are living under today is
- 48:09Speaker 4: capitalism and it isn't. Capitalism is going into your doctor's
- 48:14Speaker 4: office and saying, hey, doc, I got twenty bucks, can
- 48:17Speaker 4: you take a look at my shoulder, and the doctor
- 48:20Speaker 4: is saying NH for twenty dollars. I can take a look,
- 48:22Speaker 4: but I'm just gonna be using my base expertise. That's horrible.
- 48:28Speaker 4: Why should you have to pay twenty dollars to ask
- 48:31Speaker 4: a doctor? I don't know. Did the doctor have to
- 48:32Speaker 4: pay the medical school to learn his stuff? And the
- 48:38Speaker 4: agrarians that I talk to always oh, but if we
- 48:40Speaker 4: just farmed everything, we wouldn't need money, Yeah, we would.
- 48:44Speaker 4: We'd call it something different, maybe it would be barter.
- 48:47Speaker 4: I don't care. There is always going to be commerce.
- 48:50Speaker 4: There is always going to be what am I doing?
- 48:52Speaker 4: And what is it worth to you? And is that
- 48:55Speaker 4: value that I apply to it the same value you
- 48:58Speaker 4: apply to it? And we meet in the I'm sorry,
- 49:01Speaker 4: I'm not you know, but we we are role playing
- 49:06Speaker 4: capitalism as much as at least some of these countries
- 49:10Speaker 4: straight up say yeah, we push things around, we do
- 49:13Speaker 4: it ourselves. On this Thursday morning four three four eight
- 49:17Speaker 4: A two four two one seven, I wanted to pull
- 49:21Speaker 4: this in. This is especially as we're about to finish
- 49:24Speaker 4: off our hour on our with our friends in Dallas
- 49:28Speaker 4: on eleven ninety and uh, of course we'll be heading
- 49:31Speaker 4: down there. It's a couple of weeks for seapac at
- 49:34Speaker 4: the Gay Lord. I hope you can join us. Matt
- 49:37Speaker 4: schlap is going to be on with us Friday morning
- 49:39Speaker 4: later in the program. Maybe you'll hear it on Monday.
- 49:42Speaker 4: We'll play it back for you. But we had this
- 49:43Speaker 4: conversation about Top Golf the other day. Hey, can I
- 49:48Speaker 4: ask you a question? You're a golf guy. I mean,
- 49:50Speaker 4: if there's something you know, you know Mac McDonald, our
- 49:53Speaker 4: sports director, I todd to me everything he knows. By
- 49:58Speaker 4: the way, the cooler that was that was what's the
- 50:02Speaker 4: most important part in golf? What's what's going on with?
- 50:06Speaker 4: What's is it? Top Golf? The Giant simulary. They lost
- 50:11Speaker 4: a billion dollars in company value? Are they collapsing because
- 50:15Speaker 4: they charge an arm and a leg? Their food is average?
- 50:19Speaker 25: It is uh because Orlando's got a couple of them,
- 50:22Speaker 25: like Mary's got one.
- 50:23Speaker 4: And they it really is.
- 50:24Speaker 25: You go there just to have balls for a little while,
- 50:26Speaker 25: play with the top tracer, try to hit the targets,
- 50:29Speaker 25: have fun. Next thing you know, you've dropped one hundred
- 50:31Speaker 25: and twenty five dollars because you had two.
- 50:33Speaker 4: Beers and a burger.
- 50:34Speaker 25: Oh and you've hit and you hit balls for half hour.
- 50:37Speaker 25: To me, the model is not a good one. And
- 50:41Speaker 25: if anybody ever says to me, hey, mag what about
- 50:43Speaker 25: Top Golf, No no, no, no, no no, don't go to
- 50:46Speaker 25: Top Golf. I mean, go hit ball somewhere, but don't
- 50:48Speaker 25: go to Top Golf because it's way, way, way overpriced. I mean,
- 50:53Speaker 25: but they put a lot of bells and whistles into it.
- 50:55Speaker 4: Now I remember because the reason I saw this story
- 50:57Speaker 4: and we're on in Dallas. Uh oh, so it's a
- 51:00Speaker 4: big business story there. But I mean it when they
- 51:03Speaker 4: came out, everyone was freaking out, thinking that this was
- 51:06Speaker 4: the end of your local golf course because who would
- 51:09Speaker 4: go out close people? People are really they've shunned.
- 51:14Speaker 25: I mean we took we took like eight of our
- 51:17Speaker 25: instructors at a party whatever it's I mean, and our
- 51:20Speaker 25: boss picked up the check and it was just like
- 51:23Speaker 25: a sandwich and a couple of beers and you hit balls
- 51:25Speaker 25: for an hour.
- 51:26Speaker 4: I mean it was ridiculous. You know, it was over
- 51:28Speaker 4: three hundred dollars or something.
- 51:29Speaker 20: You know.
- 51:30Speaker 25: No, it's just it's it's not a good now.
- 51:33Speaker 4: So the value is still at the local course in thee.

- 51:40Speaker 25: one in Orlando, but the one of Daytona. If you

- 51:46Speaker 25: this guy who named it after his grandfather because that's
- 51:50Speaker 25: what they used to call me, popstroke because of his
- 51:52Speaker 25: putting stroke. It is miniature golf on steroids, complete with
- 51:57Speaker 25: fans that blow cool air right like the fans on
- 52:01Speaker 25: an NFL sideline, a bunkers drinks being delivered while you're
