- 1:34Speaker 7: jump in this morning, so much going on and including
- 1:38Speaker 7: great news for gun owners from the federal level. One
- 1:43Speaker 7: would say superfluous, because we have this thing called the
- 1:46Speaker 7: Second Amendment, and I know what it says and what
- 1:50Speaker 7: it doesn't say you're allowed to do. But that's okay.
- 1:53Speaker 7: Statuss got a state anyway. So we'll tell you the
- 1:57Speaker 7: good news there coming from the Heartment of Justice, and
- 2:03Speaker 7: also the King and Queen of Great Britain coming to
- 2:09Speaker 7: my neck of the woods just about an hour hour
- 2:11Speaker 7: and a half north of where our flagship station is located.
- 2:15Speaker 7: They're coming to Front Royal to be the Front Royals.
- 2:19Speaker 7: They will be Oh yeah, I'm not the last one
- 2:22Speaker 7: who's going to make comments like that. Front Royal had
- 2:25Speaker 7: been planning a two hundred and fiftieth celebration for the
- 2:28Speaker 7: United States and themselves. They were founded as a town
- 2:32Speaker 7: in seventeen seventy six, so as part of their two fiftieth,
- 2:36Speaker 7: the King and Queen of England will be coming. And
- 2:39Speaker 7: I've checked. I have scoured all of the Democratic Party
- 2:44Speaker 7: websites and all of the usual Facebook pages, and having
- 2:50Speaker 7: looked high and low, in and out, back and forth,
- 2:54Speaker 7: left and further left, I can tell you with some
- 2:58Speaker 7: surety there are no no kings protests planned for this morning,
- 3:05Speaker 7: when the actual King of England arrives in front Royal.
- 3:13Speaker 7: I don't know what you infer from that, but I
- 3:15Speaker 7: know what I do anyway, and our first things. Traffic
- 3:18Speaker 7: through the Strait of Hormuz has stalled again. The Trump
- 3:22Speaker 7: administration is urging countries to join a new coalition to
- 3:26Speaker 7: help allow ships to navigate one of the most vital
- 3:30Speaker 7: oil transit checkpoints. The administration calls it. They've put together
- 3:34Speaker 7: a Maritime Freedom Construct and sent to US embassies calling
- 3:39Speaker 7: on diplomats to press foreign governments to participate in the coalition.
- 3:45Speaker 7: President Trump reportedly met with oil and gas executives Tuesday
- 3:50Speaker 7: to discuss the effect of the Iranian war. Trump convened
- 3:54Speaker 7: top industry leaders at the White House, along with Chief
- 3:59Speaker 7: of Staff app Suzie Wils, Treasury Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant,
- 4:04Speaker 7: and advisors Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. A new national
- 4:09Speaker 7: survey from Harvard and the Harris Polling Groups suggests that
- 4:14Speaker 7: Americans are behind the president in this According to the
- 4:18Speaker 7: poll conducted April twenty three to the twenty six, two thousand,
- 4:23Speaker 7: seven hundred forty five registered voters, fifty two percent support
- 4:27Speaker 7: US military air strikes on Oran, while fifty four percent
- 4:32Speaker 7: say those strikes were justified, seventy four percent of voters
- 4:35Speaker 7: say the US is currently winning, and fifty four percent
- 4:39Speaker 7: believe the US has the advantage in the negotiations. Meanwhile,
- 4:44Speaker 7: Iran's national currency, the Real, hit record low's Wednesday of
- 4:49Speaker 7: one point eight million real to each one US dollar.
- 4:54Speaker 7: Justice Department officials moved Wednesday to roll back modified slate
- 4:58Speaker 7: of gun regulation in a shift in firearm policy pushed
- 5:03Speaker 7: by Second Amendment supporters and President Trump's conservative base. Reporters
- 5:09Speaker 7: say that among more than thirty changes announced yesterday, the
- 5:14Speaker 7: proposed repeal of a twenty twenty four Biden administration rule
- 5:18Speaker 7: that sought to force thousands of firearms dealers across the
- 5:22Speaker 7: US to run more stringent background checks than are already
- 5:27Speaker 7: required when they appear at gun shows or other places
- 5:31Speaker 7: outside of their brick and mortar stores. Most gun sellers
- 5:36Speaker 7: will tell you that that's apocryphal, as they already do it.
- 5:39Speaker 7: And the Supreme Court hollowed out the Civil Rights Era,
- 5:43Speaker 7: saying a Louisiana congressional district was an unfair and racially
- 5:48Speaker 7: biased gerrymander. The Court ruled six to three in the
- 5:54Speaker 7: district represented by Cleo Fields relied too heavily on race.

- 6:11Speaker 7: When I brought the.
- 6:11Speaker 8: Fame lunch pail to our team, it symbolized teamwork. The
- 6:15Speaker 8: word win stood for what's important. Now, the Lunch Pail

- 7:05Speaker 9: to think about what matters most when it comes to

- 8:04Speaker 10: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 8:13Speaker 10: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 10: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 10: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 10: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:36Speaker 10: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42Speaker 10: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46Speaker 10: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51Speaker 10: healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

- 10:01Speaker 11: Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
- 10:03Speaker 11: with animals. I'm not only in awe of their beauty
- 10:05Speaker 11: and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
- 10:08Speaker 11: at the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or
- 10:11Speaker 11: Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
- 10:14Speaker 11: or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
- 10:17Speaker 11: secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
- 10:20Speaker 11: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
- 10:22Speaker 11: in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
- 10:25Speaker 11: by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
- 10:28Speaker 11: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
- 10:32Speaker 11: they also perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep
- 10:35Speaker 11: us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of
- 10:37Speaker 11: whom suffer from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them
- 10:41Speaker 11: when there's a change.
- 10:41Speaker 2: In their blood chemistry.
- 10:43Speaker 11: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that

- 13:24Speaker 2: the Tunk Media.
- 13:25Speaker 6: Network that loves for Us we create a different kind
- 13:36Speaker 6: about let me be.
- 13:39Speaker 7: So as the ironic choice of front Royal Virginia for
- 13:47Speaker 7: a visit from King Charles the Third and Queen Camilla
- 13:52Speaker 7: braces ten. This morning, the King and Queen will be
- 13:56Speaker 7: part in the small northwestern Virginia town's two hundred and
- 14:02Speaker 7: fiftieth anniversary parade. And I guess technically, in April of
- 14:09Speaker 7: seventeen seventy six, it was still you know, under his
- 14:14Speaker 7: you know, distant great great great four bearer, George the
- 14:18Speaker 7: Third's purview, so you know, it was a British thing
- 14:22Speaker 7: going on there. But I looked all around. I'm kid
- 14:28Speaker 7: you not. I went and I looked and looked and looked.
- 14:31Speaker 7: I went to all the Democratic Party websites, who you know,
- 14:34Speaker 7: blushingly admit that they support these because you'll see all
- 14:38Speaker 7: the congressional candidates there, you know, the best selling authors,
- 14:44Speaker 7: dope sick authors, and dope sick congressmen who want to
- 14:49Speaker 7: be congressman again, and all sorts of dope sickness going
- 14:53Speaker 7: on at these things, as the very same people who
- 14:57Speaker 7: promote and participate in these silly no King's rallies, which
- 15:05Speaker 7: are to me a large mitigating factor in the mania
- 15:13Speaker 7: that drives people to do things like the assailant at
- 15:17Speaker 7: the White House correspondence dinner. But oh, victim shaming. But
- 15:22Speaker 7: there were Democrats in the room, Joe, what John Fetterman,
- 15:26Speaker 7: You're still all of a sudden it's convenient to count
- 15:29Speaker 7: John Fetterman as a Democrat. Oh all right, all right,
- 15:33Speaker 7: all the news anchors that were there, Sure, Sure there
- 15:35Speaker 7: were a lot of Yeah, you're right, I sit corrected.
- 15:41Speaker 7: But I like it when I get a Joe, You're
- 15:43Speaker 7: better than that email so early in a program, after
- 15:48Speaker 7: pointing this out that there was, there were no no
- 15:51Speaker 7: kings rallies. Joe, You're better than this. You know that
- 15:56Speaker 7: that's not what these No King's rallies are about. Be
- 16:00Speaker 7: honest with your listeners for a change. See I love
- 16:03Speaker 7: that you're hitting all the high notes. Be honest with
- 16:06Speaker 7: your listeners for a change. You're better than that. First off,
- 16:10Speaker 7: you have no evidence that I'm better than that. But
- 16:13Speaker 7: aside from that, what do I gain by shoveling bovine
- 16:20Speaker 7: excrement on you? What do I get out of that?
- 16:25Speaker 7: I'm just trying to entertain you and make your day
- 16:28Speaker 7: start off a little bit better. Know what's going on,
- 16:33Speaker 7: know a little bit more inside of what's going on
- 16:35Speaker 7: and a little bit. I'm going to be visited by
- 16:38Speaker 7: somebody who knows a little bit about jerrymandering. No no, no,
- 16:43Speaker 7: not the Virginia Democratic Party chair. No, no, no, somebody
- 16:48Speaker 7: who understands it from a legal perspective and will get
- 16:53Speaker 7: into the gerrymander ruling from the Supreme Court in Baton Rouge.
- 17:01Speaker 7: This congressional district don't understand something. So years ago, our
- 17:05Speaker 7: friend Horace Cooper from Project twenty one helped lead a
- 17:10Speaker 7: legal challenge to substantive parts of the Voting Rights Act
- 17:17Speaker 7: and weakened its substructure because it was specifically targeting the
- 17:24Speaker 7: states that had joined the Confederacy and seceded from the
- 17:28Speaker 7: United States as punitive. But by doing that, they also
- 17:33Speaker 7: started to give rise to the analysis of some of
- 17:39Speaker 7: the things in the Voting Rights Act. One of them
- 17:43Speaker 7: was the fact that they insisted that there be majority
- 17:46Speaker 7: minority districts. Now, this is a second wrong trying to
- 17:51Speaker 7: make a right. The first wrong is the nineteen twenty
- 17:54Speaker 7: nine I hear you rolling your eyes already, nineteen twenty
- 17:57Speaker 7: nine Permanent Reapportionment Act. Because the nineteen twenty nine Permanent
- 18:02Speaker 7: Reapportionment Act was designed to make it so there would
- 18:05Speaker 7: be zero minority led districts. And I cannot believe that,
- 18:13Speaker 7: good hearted Democrats, And if I may come on, Tim Kaine,
- 18:19Speaker 7: you're better than this. I have no evidence of the contrary,
- 18:24Speaker 7: but he's If they can use it on me, Tim,
- 18:27Speaker 7: I can use it on you. All these civil rights
- 18:34Speaker 7: proponents still flog around this idea that an act that
- 18:39Speaker 7: was written specifically to marginalize the Black community and to
- 18:44Speaker 7: keep them from gaining Oh, I don't know, even a
- 18:46Speaker 7: majority in Congress, as they gained prosperity on their independence
- 18:51Speaker 7: pra How we can't have that. So the Dixiecrats foisted this,
- 18:56Speaker 7: and rather than eliminating the nineteen twenty nine Act for
- 19:04Speaker 7: Permanent Reapportionment Act that would be way too easy, they
- 19:09Speaker 7: passed the Voting Rights Act that said, okay, well, if
- 19:18Speaker 7: we're going to gerrymander, let's make sure that at least
- 19:21Speaker 7: one or two of your gerrymandered districts has a majority
- 19:24Speaker 7: of minorities in it. This is actually what begins our
- 19:29Speaker 7: mania about redistricting, because in Texas their law requires districts
- 19:41Speaker 7: be minority majority districts, and they apparently had left Latino
- 19:45Speaker 7: out as a minority. I guess in some areas that
- 19:48Speaker 7: would be true demographically, but they were supposed to consider
- 19:54Speaker 7: these persons of color as well. This is what led
- 19:58Speaker 7: the court to order them to redraw their districts and then, oh,
- 20:02Speaker 7: Johnny Barthador everyone else had to start redrawing their districts.
- 20:10Speaker 7: So we're going to visit with some other folks from
- 20:12Speaker 7: Project twenty one on this and how the black community
- 20:15Speaker 7: is seeing this. And we really need the black community
- 20:19Speaker 7: to understand that this four hundred and thirty four person
- 20:23Speaker 7: US House of Representatives was done to racially marginalize them anyway.
- 20:31Speaker 7: And I know Republicans don't like talking about it because
- 20:34Speaker 7: they still believe that the majority of blacks just vote
- 20:37Speaker 7: for Democrats because that's what their grandmother told them to do.
- 20:42Speaker 7: But that's changing so dramatically in the last ten years.
- 20:52Speaker 7: So with the Royals touring Virginia and they're coming up
- 20:56Speaker 7: to Shenandoah National Park to talk to indigit in his persons,
- 21:00Speaker 7: not the ones that used to live up on top
- 21:04Speaker 7: of the mountain, but King Charles is going to get
- 21:06Speaker 7: his al Gore mask out and come and talk to
- 21:10Speaker 7: a bunch of eco terrorists. After that about how you
- 21:15Speaker 7: know the Shenandoah National Park which was built on the
- 21:20Speaker 7: backs of a bunch of communities that had to be displaced.
- 21:24Speaker 7: At least we have monuments to them now until we
- 21:27Speaker 7: decide they were racist, and we'll take the monuments down
- 21:31Speaker 7: because that's what we do in Virginia. That's how we roll.
- 21:35Speaker 7: It's the mid Atlantic Pride. Will give you a statue,
- 21:38Speaker 7: but only for so long. But the King's coming and
- 21:44Speaker 7: no no kings Rallies. I'm disappointed because all the Democrats,
- 21:49Speaker 7: the Mark Warners, and the Tim Kayes that will bow
- 21:52Speaker 7: and kiss the ring are the same ones who are
- 21:54Speaker 7: supporting all these no King's rallies. So were you lying
- 21:58Speaker 7: then or now?
- 22:02Speaker 10: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
- 22:07Speaker 10: actually three known gases. I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric oxide
- 22:13Speaker 10: is a gas that's readily made all day long to
- 22:17Speaker 10: keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
- 22:21Speaker 10: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
- 22:27Speaker 10: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 22:31Speaker 10: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
- 22:35Speaker 10: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
- 22:38Speaker 10: energy can go down and you can get tingling in
- 22:41Speaker 10: your hands and feet well. Our product Ultimate nitric Oxide
- 22:46Speaker 10: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

- 24:06Speaker 10: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 24:12Speaker 10: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18Speaker 10: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22Speaker 10: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26Speaker 10: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 10: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:42Speaker 10: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 24:45Speaker 10: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 24:50Speaker 10: healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

- 28:12Speaker 2: Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
- 28:28Speaker 7: I'm sorry if you lived in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, you didn't
- 28:31Speaker 7: know Colon Steele was real. There's a bag of hair
- 28:35Speaker 7: on the phone once. Have you stopped making it look
- 28:38Speaker 7: bad it? Can we get that clip of ilhan Omar again?
- 28:44Speaker 7: I mean, you want to talk about an audio version
- 28:46Speaker 7: of what it sounds like to be a bag of hair.
- 28:50Speaker 7: But that being said, there's lots of this stuff because money.
- 28:57Speaker 7: Now it's become this Marxist It's always been a Marxist
- 29:05Speaker 7: folk rum to push us off. A good guy, I
- 29:08Speaker 7: actually enjoy talking to him, but he has really lost
- 29:11Speaker 7: his last good marble. He's a leftist and this is
- 29:15Speaker 7: something he makes the rest of the press seem conservative
- 29:20Speaker 7: by his rhetoric. He's decided that well, if conservative talk
- 29:24Speaker 7: show hosts can do it, so can I. He is
- 29:28Speaker 7: runs a newspaper called The Augusta Free Press, and his
- 29:34Speaker 7: name is Chris Graham, and he does stuff like try
- 29:37Speaker 7: to get radio show hosts fired because he can. He
- 29:42Speaker 7: can get on his newspaper pot pod and going the
- 29:48Speaker 7: UVA had lettings from sports the radio stage and you're
- 29:51Speaker 7: conservative on it. He grow us at Nancy. But he
- 29:59Speaker 7: was talking about the live tour pulling out, you know,
- 30:03Speaker 7: lost all the money there, and then wrote another piece
- 30:08Speaker 7: about the expansion of the NC DOUBLEA basketball tournament. He
- 30:11Speaker 7: likes to think of himself as a conservative, as a
- 30:14Speaker 7: liberal balance to the conservative talk radio, but he really
- 30:18Speaker 7: he's a sports guy, he says. He's talking about the
- 30:23Speaker 7: expansion of the NC DOUBLEA tournament. This isn't being done
- 30:31Speaker 7: for competition reasons. It's to create eight more games of
- 30:35Speaker 7: TV inventory. It's about money, as is everything he writes
- 30:39Speaker 7: in the Augusta Free Press about the expanded NC Double
- 30:42Speaker 7: A tournament. And the same is true with these handering. Oh,
- 30:46Speaker 7: I didn't know the working for Bethlem Steel was important.
- 30:50Speaker 7: Well it was. It was important until our labor policy
- 30:54Speaker 7: drove the work out and then Trump brings it back.
- 30:57Speaker 7: I remember sitting here on this radio program microphone reporting
- 31:01Speaker 7: that Bethlehem Seal was hiring people and expanding its work
- 31:05Speaker 7: again in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. There's a report I never thought
- 31:10Speaker 7: I would give. And yes, it's about money, because your
- 31:19Speaker 7: efforts have to be rewarded. And over the millennia we
- 31:24Speaker 7: have determined that the best most efficient way to reward
- 31:34Speaker 7: somebody for their efforts is with currency, some form of currency.
- 31:46Speaker 7: I mean even Iranians, you know, get real at the
- 31:49Speaker 7: end of their workday. You need one point eight million
- 31:54Speaker 7: reale to by a dollar's worth of stuff. So you
- 31:59Speaker 7: think you're poor, you think your dollar is devalued. That's
- 32:03Speaker 7: the US dollar has, at its current valuation, still takes
- 32:06Speaker 7: one point eight million reale to get one US dollars
- 32:11Speaker 7: worth of value. You say, well, what's the point? What
- 32:16Speaker 7: is the point? I'm doing something for you, how do
- 32:19Speaker 7: I'll give you a big hug, tell you I really
- 32:21Speaker 7: appreciate you. This is where the agrarians fall apart. They
- 32:26Speaker 7: all say, oh, you know, we shouldn't have currency. Gene
- 32:30Speaker 7: Roddenberry imagined a world without currency, and I don't know
- 32:34Speaker 7: where these netwits get this. I've watched every episode of
- 32:37Speaker 7: Star Trek multiple times. Don't judge. I'll give you my
- 32:41Speaker 7: daughter's text number you can ask her about it. But
- 32:46Speaker 7: I've watched every single episode of the original series at
- 32:49Speaker 7: least three times, and there are plenty of references to
- 32:53Speaker 7: credits paying for things. So I don't know where you
- 32:58Speaker 7: get this idea that Gene Roddenberry's fanciful future is a
- 33:01Speaker 7: world without money. We do things and we are compensated
- 33:11Speaker 7: for that doing. A farmer farms and grows food and
- 33:17Speaker 7: spends money on fertilizer and then goes to the farmer's
- 33:20Speaker 7: market and says, okay, I spent ten dollars. I'm making
- 33:24Speaker 7: up numbers here, ten dollars on this fertilizer, and I
- 33:27Speaker 7: exerted ten hours of effort on this, and I got
- 33:31Speaker 7: one hundred tomatoes out of it. So I'll divvy up
- 33:35Speaker 7: my costs by one hundred tomatoes, and I will tell
- 33:40Speaker 7: the folks at the farmers market, here's what I need
- 33:43Speaker 7: you to pay me for these tomatoes. It's a pretty
- 33:47Speaker 7: simple process, and we've been doing it variants of what
- 33:52Speaker 7: the currency was, whether it's shiny shells or gold or silver.
- 33:57Speaker 7: And I go here because the trade def has apparently
- 34:01Speaker 7: dropped by fifty five percent this in money wise, according
- 34:08Speaker 7: to the latest US International Trade in Goods and Services
- 34:12Speaker 7: report from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and boy, these
- 34:15Speaker 7: are party folks, I'll tell you the goods and services
- 34:20Speaker 7: deficit for January and February twenty twenty six fell by
- 34:24Speaker 7: one hundred and thirty six point one billion dollars, or
- 34:28Speaker 7: fifty four point eight percent, compared to the same period
- 34:31Speaker 7: in twenty twenty five. Now, there's several things. Democrats like
- 34:39Speaker 7: this because generally this means things cost more. Why because
- 34:46Speaker 7: American workers cost more to make things. This is the
- 34:50Speaker 7: point of tariffing imports is that there are countries that
- 34:55Speaker 7: have different labor laws that view human rights as a joke,
- 34:59Speaker 7: a punchline. So they have people working in factories making
- 35:03Speaker 7: cheap goods. And certainly, for most of my radio career,
- 35:08Speaker 7: made a case for cheap goods made overseas versus more
- 35:14Speaker 7: quality products you would hope made in the United States.
- 35:25Speaker 7: And so now we're here on the other side of
- 35:28Speaker 7: the Ron Paul paradigm. We've forced more than half of
- 35:32Speaker 7: our imports to make their products here in the United States.
- 35:38Speaker 7: What are we doing to make them affordable? Now, there
- 35:41Speaker 7: are abstracts to this. More people working in the United
- 35:44Speaker 7: States in manufacturing means they've made more money, which means
- 35:48Speaker 7: they likely have more money to pay for the stuff
- 35:54Speaker 7: that they've made, but faster than you can say. Dodge
- 35:58Speaker 7: Boys and hearken back to their lawsuit against Henry ford One,
- 36:06Speaker 7: saying that Henry ford One had violated his oath to
- 36:11Speaker 7: his shareholders because he was charging too little for the
- 36:15Speaker 7: automobiles they made on the assembly line and paying the
- 36:19Speaker 7: assembly line workers too much. Ever since that suit, operators
- 36:26Speaker 7: of American publicly traded corporations have been under the bus
- 36:31Speaker 7: or anus to consider their shareholders as the most important customers.
- 36:40Speaker 7: Now you know, I know woke is woke. You can't
- 36:44Speaker 7: tell me I'm not important. I've invested in your company.
- 36:47Speaker 7: I do have investors in my company, and I do
- 36:50Speaker 7: tell them that at the end of the day, the
- 36:53Speaker 7: most important person in our company is the person on
- 36:57Speaker 7: the receiving end of the product, the consumer, the actual
- 37:01Speaker 7: main street level person. Because as an investor, you're not
- 37:06Speaker 7: going to get any return if I don't serve the
- 37:09Speaker 7: actual purchaser or end user if you will, of the product.
- 37:16Speaker 7: And that's what we need to do a better job of.
- 37:18Speaker 7: In this country. The administration has onshore more than fifty
- 37:23Speaker 7: percent of the stuff that we purchase every day, which
- 37:29Speaker 7: means more of us are working to make them, and
- 37:33Speaker 7: we need to respect that, and we need to kind
- 37:36Speaker 7: of put American industry back into a world where of
- 37:40Speaker 7: their three customers, and there are three, we'll get into
- 37:44Speaker 7: that if you insist on the other side. But of
- 37:47Speaker 7: their three customers, the one that's actually purchasing the product
- 37:51Speaker 7: and taking it home and using it needs to be
- 37:54Speaker 7: the pre eminent one. And if we can do that,
- 37:58Speaker 7: then the American economy will come back.

- 44:43Speaker 7: want to talk about the Wu flu here, and I
- 44:46Speaker 7: thought Uncle Ted it was inappropriate entree a walk in

- 45:32Speaker 7: another side to us, this whole idea of it's bad
- 45:36Speaker 7: to look for money for your efforts. And I warned
- 45:41Speaker 7: about this is as COVID nineteen was going on, and
- 45:45Speaker 7: we found the clip from an archived episode of this
- 45:49Speaker 7: program from I believe early maybe twenty twenty one, maybe
- 45:54Speaker 7: late twenty twenty. Worry about this trend of writing and
- 46:04Speaker 7: doing celebration news pieces for people who do things for free,
- 46:10Speaker 7: and we seem to be doing more and more attacking
- 46:13Speaker 7: of people who do things for pay, and I don't
- 46:17Speaker 7: like where it's heading. Yes, it's nice to help your
- 46:20Speaker 7: neighbors out, but these are folks who are looking for
- 46:24Speaker 7: support from the community so they can pay their electric
- 46:27Speaker 7: bills and buy their groceries while they do other stuff
- 46:30Speaker 7: for free. It expanded from there. We wound up going
- 46:36Speaker 7: after electric utilities for charging people. But don't you know,
- 46:41Speaker 7: they're making woke masks for free to hand them out
- 46:45Speaker 7: to people. They're packing lunches for people who can't leave
- 46:50Speaker 7: their houses because they've been afraid. They've been told that
- 46:54Speaker 7: any person walking down the street exhaling is like somebody
- 46:58Speaker 7: walking around with a machine gun firing at them. So
- 47:03Speaker 7: we started to see people, Oh, I'm making hats, I'm
- 47:07Speaker 7: making woke masks, I'm delivering lunches, I'm making lunches. I'm
- 47:12Speaker 7: buying the food and making the lunches and bringing them
- 47:15Speaker 7: to my housebound neighbors for free. All wonderfully laudable things.
- 47:20Speaker 7: But what was happening was these folks had electric bills
- 47:25Speaker 7: that needed to be paid. And this was the problem
- 47:28Speaker 7: with all these leftist governors and their shutdowns. Nobody said
- 47:33Speaker 7: to the electric utilities, Hey, no charging them electric bills
- 47:38Speaker 7: for the next thirty days while we flatten the curve. No,
- 47:43Speaker 7: none of that. So then they had to come up
- 47:46Speaker 7: with the Payroll Protection Plan because businesses didn't want to
- 47:50Speaker 7: pay their employees. Oh and they're bad, bad businesses. They
- 47:55Speaker 7: didn't want to pay their employees because they were closed,
- 47:58Speaker 7: because the government said they were closed, so they weren't
- 48:02Speaker 7: selling anything. So what were they going to pay their
- 48:05Speaker 7: employees with? Hey, how about we just print a whole
- 48:09Speaker 7: beep ton of money and we'll send it to them.
- 48:13Speaker 7: It will continue to be less and less worth anything,
- 48:17Speaker 7: But you can continue to pay your employees at their
- 48:20Speaker 7: going rate in twenty nineteen, while we devalue each dollar
- 48:26Speaker 7: you give them, ostensibly cutting their salary. I think I
- 48:30Speaker 7: saw one estimate that said the average American workers worth
- 48:35Speaker 7: in terms of salary was cutting at least a third
- 48:38Speaker 7: by the COVID spending, which was a constitutional in the
- 48:42Speaker 7: first place. There was a constitutional way to fix. Just
- 48:51Speaker 7: invoke the Fifth Amendment, say we're temporarily taking your business
- 48:55Speaker 7: away from you, what's it worth to you? And of
- 48:59Speaker 7: course then invoking that there would be a limitation to
- 49:03Speaker 7: how much we would be able to pay. See, we
- 49:05Speaker 7: did it this way. There's no limit to how much
- 49:08Speaker 7: we can just print and send to your business because
- 49:11Speaker 7: we like you. Now vote for us don't forget. So
- 49:18Speaker 7: we established this crazy Marxist idea that somewhere there's magical
- 49:24Speaker 7: mystery money floating around, and every bag that went shipped
- 49:29Speaker 7: forth to recipients, legitimate or not. Congress Woman McCormick in
- 49:36Speaker 7: Florida just saying, I still think it's fascinating that Congresswoman
- 49:41Speaker 7: McCormick's erstwhile replacement has the same problem with his daughters.
- 49:46Speaker 7: We're doing the same thing defrauding the government out of
- 49:49Speaker 7: Payroll Protection Plan money. I mean not to the degree
- 49:53Speaker 7: that McCormick was was it five million dollars? So you know,
- 49:58Speaker 7: many people were actually at home getting paid for doing
- 50:02Speaker 7: jobs they weren't doing by being paid by companies who
- 50:07Speaker 7: weren't making any money. And so it's a little bit
- 50:11Speaker 7: understandable that we might actually start to believe that, hey,
- 50:14Speaker 7: I can just get paid for existing. That's all I
- 50:18Speaker 7: need to do is just be here, write my substack account,
- 50:23Speaker 7: and like the underpants gnomes from South Park, we steal
- 50:29Speaker 7: the underpants, do something we don't know what, and then
- 50:32Speaker 7: profit great. So what we think American economy is I
- 50:38Speaker 7: get up in the morning and profit. No inclination is
- 50:42Speaker 7: to what has to happen in between. And Oh, it's bad,
- 50:48Speaker 7: bad to ask for money. You're mean, don't you know?
- 50:55Speaker 7: There's a flu going around, magical mystery disease that turn
- 51:00Speaker 7: us all into firing machine guns of death asking for
- 51:04Speaker 7: money to do something for you? What kind of goon
- 51:07Speaker 7: are you? Oh? You listen to the conservative radio show.
- 51:11Speaker 7: So we have to address this. As the trade deficit
- 51:14Speaker 7: comes down, we still need to get our heads out
- 51:17Speaker 7: of our collective COVID shinter and realize that there is
- 51:29Speaker 7: a reason that humanity compensates one another with money. And
- 51:35Speaker 7: if you go full on Marxist, people still get paid
- 51:40Speaker 7: money in China. Sure, some of their compensation is domicile.
- 51:47Speaker 7: Some of their compensation is an access to a hospital
- 51:52Speaker 7: that I don't know if I'd want to go to,
- 51:54Speaker 7: but they have access to it. But our fixation with
- 52:06Speaker 7: this idea that we should just do everything for free
- 52:09Speaker 7: for one another eventually runs into people who are going
- 52:14Speaker 7: to be forced to work for you. And John Locke,
- 52:17Speaker 7: the ultimate forebearer of this country the Foundations were written
- 52:24Speaker 7: on his philosophical work, said that rights cannot be based
- 52:30Speaker 7: on the activities of others. You cannot have the right
- 52:35Speaker 7: to something that requires someone else to make it for you.
- 52:44Speaker 7: Yet here we are twenty twenty six thinking nah, we're
- 52:48Speaker 7: smarter than John Locke.
- 52:51Speaker 12: Crime across the country is at an all time high.
- 52:54Speaker 12: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
- 52:56Speaker 12: a risk. We don't want the feeling of being unprotected andvulnerable.
