"OUR 'Time for Choosing' Has Arrived" (FTTxJT Tue 092926 hr2) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:02
Speaker 1: Anytime you and I question the schemes of the do-gooders,
0:04
Speaker 1: we're denounced as being against their humanitarian goal.
0:08
Speaker 2: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
0:12
Speaker 2: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
0:14
Speaker 1: The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant.
0:17
Speaker 1: It's just that they know so much that isn't so.
0:24
Speaker 3: Oh, bless you for being on the receiving end of this.
0:28
Speaker 4: Lest I become the metaphorical tree falling.
0:34
Speaker 5: In the woods.
0:35
Speaker 4: Does he make a sound?
0:54
Speaker 5: Ask my daughter. She'll tell you. He never stops. Just
0:59
Speaker 5: because there's no amplitude or frequency modulator transmitting my words
1:04
Speaker 5: doesn't mean I'm not contributing significantly to my carbon footprint.
1:10
Speaker 5: Just so you know. Thank you for joining in on
1:13
Speaker 5: the program that tells you what we did last night,
1:16
Speaker 5: what happened in the world, and then we'll give you
1:19
Speaker 5: our analysis of it for sure. But I want to
1:21
Speaker 5: hear how it's impacting you. where you are. Call us
1:26
Speaker 5: with that information at 434-882-4217. Previous hour, if you're joining
1:35
Speaker 5: us in progress, be up online shortly. We're getting caught up.
1:39
Speaker 5: We got way behind after September 11th, so we're getting
1:43
Speaker 5: caught up. I think we've caught up to about midpoint
1:49
Speaker 5: of last week, But this will be up there and
1:51
Speaker 5: you can hear the previous hour, but we were talking
1:56
Speaker 5: about advertising and all this attacks on President Trump for
2:04
Speaker 5: the ads that he's pointing to and saying they're just
2:07
Speaker 5: the same as Obama's public service announcements. My point is,
2:11
Speaker 5: if you're paying for them, they're not public service announcements,
2:14
Speaker 5: no matter what. And that's on my industry. Stop sticking
2:19
Speaker 5: your hand out. Go help an actual business succeed and
2:25
Speaker 5: stop just suckling off the teat of the taxpayers. Or
2:30
Speaker 5: more appropriately, my grandkids, because at some point they'll be
2:33
Speaker 5: the ones paying for this here. Joel writes in, Those
2:40
Speaker 5: pointing their fingers at President Trump should smell them first
2:43
Speaker 5: and find out where they've been. Congress and the Senate
2:46
Speaker 5: have so much time on their hands with a lack
2:48
Speaker 5: of understanding and accountability and lack work ethic. Oh, they're
2:53
Speaker 5: there every day. I don't know what they're doing. But again,
2:55
Speaker 5: there's also the ethic of what are we asking them
3:00
Speaker 5: to do? And this is the problem, because conservatives will
3:05
Speaker 5: just as quickly ask the politicians to fix things. problems
3:09
Speaker 5: they see in the world, and we get the same result.
3:15
Speaker 5: President Trump Monday announced a $ 15 billion steel plant being
3:19
Speaker 5: built in Iowa. It's being built by SR Group. It's
3:23
Speaker 5: a company that's based in India. Masabi Metallics is the
3:30
Speaker 5: Minnesota adjunct that will be using the steel built at
3:35
Speaker 5: this Iowa plant. They could be putting out 10 million
3:39
Speaker 5: tons of steel a year. On a much smaller scale,
3:43
Speaker 5: NVIDIA Monday unveiled a new security platform designed to stop
3:48
Speaker 5: artificial intelligence agents from going rogue, saying it sets boundaries
3:53
Speaker 5: that could have stopped previous breaches. OpenAI, meanwhile, said Monday
3:59
Speaker 5: it's ditching plans to release its next-generation AI software because
4:04
Speaker 5: of safety concerns. raised during initial testing. It's known as
4:12
Speaker 5: GPT 6.1 Astra. Isn't that one of the weight loss
4:17
Speaker 5: things too? The model was more capable at its predecessors
4:21
Speaker 5: at completing challenging tasks without human assistance, but it also
4:27
Speaker 5: tended to break rules put in place. John Thune said,
4:34
Speaker 5: Senate Majority Leader said it shouldn't be paid for with
4:38
Speaker 5: taxpayer dollars regarding a series of ads that apparently have
4:43
Speaker 5: cost $ 1. 4 million so far. The administration has been paying
4:48
Speaker 5: for these what they call public service announcements. Stephen Chung,
4:54
Speaker 5: White House Communications Director, said don't let the fake news
4:58
Speaker 5: get away with their lies about our epic public service announcements.
5:03
Speaker 5: They're not public service announcements if you pay for them.
5:06
Speaker 5: They couldn't protect American voters' civil rights, but the U.S.
5:10
Speaker 5: Senate passed a sweeping bipartisan bill to protect colleges from
5:14
Speaker 5: their own spin-thriftiness in paying college football players. Congress saying
5:24
Speaker 5: they're going to put an end to the chaos in
5:27
Speaker 5: the NCAA with a 77 to 22 vote. National Security

Speaker 5: Virginia and will culminate in November. The midterms Secretary of

5:56
Speaker 5: election security in the past. I write for the Daily

7:05
Speaker 6: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
7:07
Speaker 7: It was MediShare that came through for us, and there
7:10
Speaker 7: was no hassles.
7:11
Speaker 8: There was no problem.

Speaker 13: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
8:08
Speaker 13: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
8:13
Speaker 13: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
8:18
Speaker 13: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
8:23
Speaker 13: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
8:28
Speaker 13: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
8:32
Speaker 13: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
8:36
Speaker 13: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
8:39
Speaker 13: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
8:42
Speaker 13: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,
8:47

9:33
Speaker 15: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
9:37
Speaker 15: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
9:41
Speaker 15: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
9:44
Speaker 15: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization.
9:47
Speaker 16: And even death.
9:48
Speaker 15: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
9:53
Speaker 15: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
9:56
Speaker 15: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
10:00
Speaker 15: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.
10:04
Speaker 17: I'm Dr.
10:05
Speaker 15: Susan Rehm of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. When
10:08
Speaker 15: I speak with my patients, I urge them to get
10:10
Speaker 15: all their recommended vaccines. Now I'm urging you to speak
10:14
Speaker 15: with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
10:17
Speaker 15: For more information about the vaccines that are recommended for
10:20
Speaker 15: adults and the diseases they prevent, like HPV, whooping cough, tetanus,
10:24
Speaker 15: and shingles, visit adultvaccination.org. That's www.adultvaccination.org.
10:33
Speaker 18: We depend on our drinking water supply daily, but where
10:36
Speaker 18: does that water come from? Your water provider encourages you
10:40
Speaker 18: to get to know your local water source so together
10:43
Speaker 18: we can protect and preserve it. The investments we make
10:46
Speaker 18: as a community to protect our water source now ensure
10:49
Speaker 18: we have a sustainable drinking water supply for the future.

Speaker 19: If you came across someone struggling with hunger, how would
11:05
Speaker 19: you recognize them?
11:07
Speaker 20: By their clothes?
11:08
Speaker 9: Their age?
11:09
Speaker 19: The way they speak?
11:11
Speaker 18: Would you notice a 16-year-old boy who got his first job?
11:14
Speaker 3: Not for extra spending money, but to help feed his
11:17
Speaker 3: little sisters.
11:19
Speaker 19: Or a mother who's.
11:20
Speaker 20: In between jobs and sometimes goes to bed hungry so
11:23
Speaker 20: her kids can have dinner.
11:25
Speaker 18: Or a 14-year-old girl who signs up to every after-school
11:28
Speaker 18: activity not to make friends, but just to get something
11:31
Speaker 18: to eat.
11:33
Speaker 4: Or a retiree who fell ill and.
11:35
Speaker 2: Had to choose between getting medicine or groceries.
11:40
Speaker 18: I am the one in eight Americans who struggle with hunger.
11:44
Speaker 18: People you pass by every day but never knew were hungry.
11:48
Speaker 9: I am hunger in America.
11:51

12:02
Speaker 4: Think about this. There are five freedoms guaranteed in the
12:05
Speaker 4: First Amendment. Freedom of religion. Freedom of speech. Freedom of
12:09
Speaker 4: the press. Freedom to peaceably assemble. Freedom to petition the government.
12:14
Speaker 4: Which freedom can you live without? Fortunately, the First Amendment
12:18

12:31
Speaker 5: You guys, I love this song.
12:34
Speaker 16: I love these nachos.
12:37
Speaker 2: I love our kickball league.
12:40
Speaker 22: I love this guy. What's your name?
12:43
Speaker 5: You know what I love?
12:44
Speaker 16: A ride when it's time to head out.
12:46
Speaker 3: If you see a buzzed warning sign, call for a
12:49
Speaker 3: ride when it's time to go home. Buzz driving is
12:51
Speaker 3: drunk driving. A message from NHTSA and the Ad Council.
13:12
Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
13:16
Speaker 5: I think you all know that I've always felt.
13:20
Speaker 23: The Nine most terrifying words in the English language are,
13:40
Speaker 23: I'm from the government and I'm.
13:43
Speaker 2: Here to help.
13:48
Speaker 5: Later on in the Time for Choosing speech, Ronald Reagan said,
13:52
Speaker 5: the closest thing to eternal life on this world is
13:55
Speaker 5: a government program. And the problem is, eventually, is he
14:02
Speaker 5: winds up with the job he was trying to get
14:04
Speaker 5: Barry Goldwater. And this is the peril of where we
14:08
Speaker 5: are right now. So what they're doing right now, from
14:12
Speaker 5: where I sit, is laying the seeds so that they,
14:14
Speaker 5: 20 years hence, 30 years hence, can say, oh, that
14:19
Speaker 5: Trump administration, they never did the things they said they
14:22
Speaker 5: were going to do. They do the same thing to Reagan.
14:25
Speaker 5: They'll go out and they'll say, well, he didn't do this,
14:28
Speaker 5: or he didn't do that, or spending went up under Reagan.
14:33
Speaker 5: Because these are things that, Unfortunately, we want politicians to
14:38
Speaker 5: do for us. And then when they fail, we blame
14:42
Speaker 5: them for it.
14:45
Speaker 10: And I.
14:47
Speaker 5: Think at some point we need to have a time
14:53
Speaker 5: for choosing. Do we continue to choose asking elected officials
14:58
Speaker 5: to fix the issues in our communities or Or should
15:02
Speaker 5: we leave them to the very simple constitutionally mandated job
15:06
Speaker 5: of establishing what the punishments are for when somebody violates
15:10
Speaker 5: your rights, including the government? And that's where we are
15:21
Speaker 5: with all of this. You had the Maha meeting today.
15:24
Speaker 5: Everyone's losing their bowel control over the public service announcements
15:30
Speaker 5: that the administration is buying airtime from broadcasters for. Oh,
15:38
Speaker 5: and it's all sorts of creativity. I've seen so many different, well,
15:42
Speaker 5: certainly we'll run your ads for free when we have
15:45
Speaker 5: spare time. If you'd like to guarantee that you are
15:49
Speaker 5: heard during morning drive or afternoon drive, well, that costs money.
15:53
Speaker 5: I'm sorry. It's not a public service. If you're being
15:57
Speaker 5: paid for it, it is a job. With apologies to
16:00
Speaker 5: my friends at AmeriCorps. If you're being paid for it,
16:04
Speaker 5: it is a job. I know there are people with
16:08
Speaker 5: certain electrically dyed hairstyles. That blanch at the idea.
16:15
Speaker 10: No, I'm not being paid for this. I mean, sure,
16:17
Speaker 10: they buy my lunch and they get they reimburse me
16:20
Speaker 10: for my gas. But I'm here protesting because I care.
16:24
Speaker 10: I'm not being paid. I just have all my stuff
16:27
Speaker 10: being paid for.
16:29
Speaker 5: You're being paid. They've paid for your gas and they've
16:32
Speaker 5: paid for your food. They've paid for the T-shirt and
16:35
Speaker 5: the sign you're waving. You're being paid. You're not an activist.
16:41
Speaker 5: You're an actor.
16:45
Speaker 10: I'm sorry, am I?
16:46
Speaker 5: I'm supposed to be bringing the yucks this morning, right?
16:49
Speaker 5: You know, you're trying to get your day started and
16:51
Speaker 5: I'm up here being a doggy downer. But I mean,
16:54
Speaker 5: these are the realities. And when we come back, I
16:56
Speaker 5: will explain what I mean when I think we, the people,
17:01
Speaker 5: if we still want to claim the deed that says
17:05
Speaker 5: our name right across the top, we, the people, if
17:08
Speaker 5: we're going to get that back, if we don't want
17:10
Speaker 5: that to go down in the ash heap of history
17:12
Speaker 5: as just another misquotation like e-flamista for my Star Trek fans,
17:22
Speaker 5: then we need to start taking and making different choices ourselves,
17:27
Speaker 5: like our financial stability. Everyone says, oh no, Joe, the
17:34
Speaker 5: dollar's not going to collapse. Oh no, I'm sure they
17:36
Speaker 5: said that about the Roman currencies and the Greek currencies
17:43
Speaker 5: and the British currencies. No, the British sterling, the pound
17:47
Speaker 5: sterling is the envy of the world. Of course, then
17:49
Speaker 5: the world started dropping bombs on England and England said,
17:53
Speaker 5: no moss. And we became the reserve currency of the world.
17:59
Speaker 5: Only in 19, what was it? When was Brenton Woods? 46, 47,
18:02
Speaker 5: something or somewhere around there, where we became the reserve currency,
18:08
Speaker 5: and we all act like this is our birthright, that
18:11
Speaker 5: George Washington signed the first deal to make the U.S.
18:14
Speaker 2: Dollar.
18:15
Speaker 5: No, it's a relatively recent little thing, and it could
18:18
Speaker 5: go away too. So do you have gold in your pocket?
18:23
Speaker 5: Our friends at jcsgold.com, my particular choice because it's a
18:28
Speaker 5: family business. I know if I ask them a question,
18:31
Speaker 5: they're not upselling me or looking at their clipboard saying, oh,
18:35
Speaker 5: I got to make a quota here. Maybe I sell
18:37
Speaker 5: on it. No, it's a family business, wants to answer
18:39
Speaker 5: your questions. That's why they have clients who have been
18:42
Speaker 5: with them almost as many generations as they've been open
18:46
Speaker 5: at jcsgold.com. James Luck is the fourth generation of Luck
18:51
Speaker 5: family that have run this business. James, I hope you
18:55
Speaker 5: survived Mailer Mondays where you were sending out all the
18:59
Speaker 5: gold and silver orders from the weekend. How are you
19:01
Speaker 5: doing this morning?
19:03
Speaker 22: I'm doing okay, Joe.
19:05
Speaker 8: Yeah, my fingers are a little raw from all the shipping,
19:09
Speaker 8: but we're surviving over here.
19:11
Speaker 5: Am I wrong, though, about the gold? I'd love to
19:15
Speaker 5: say the U.S. dollar is going to stay the reserve
19:18
Speaker 5: currency of the world forever, but history doesn't bear that out.
19:24
Speaker 5: But gold has been, hasn't it?
19:27
Speaker 22: Absolutely.
19:28
Speaker 8: You know, every country, you know, stockpiles gold. You know,
19:33
Speaker 8: every central bank stockpiles gold. They see that as, you know,
19:37
Speaker 8: the ultimate store of value. And that's a tale as
19:41
Speaker 8: old as time. Even beyond the Roman Empire, every civilization
19:49
Speaker 8: used gold as their monetary policy to have value. So
19:54
Speaker 8: that's what we always fall back on. You use dollars
19:59
Speaker 8: to buy things, but if you really want to store value,
20:03
Speaker 8: you can zoom out on.
20:04
Speaker 24: The gold chart and you can see that over time,
20:07
Speaker 24: you know, the dollar has been, quote, shrinking, where, you know,
20:11
Speaker 24: the gold has steadily been going up over time.
20:15
Speaker 8: And today, they're gold and silver trying to find some support.
20:18
Speaker 8: Gold is up almost 1% in the green, up $ 34
20:21
Speaker 8: to $ 4, 149. Silver is up about a third of a
20:22
Speaker 8: percent to $ 60.
20:22
Speaker 22: 82.
20:22
Speaker 8: So both metals, you know, on a discount yesterday and
20:25
Speaker 8: still in discount territory, but trying to find some support there.
20:37
Speaker 5: Well, and, you know, it's still, I think, in rarefied air,
20:41
Speaker 5: but I have a feeling this, and just the amount
20:44
Speaker 5: of time you and I have talked, I have a
20:45
Speaker 5: feeling this is like the precursor to another move. It
20:50
Speaker 5: just feels like that's that kind of, you know, trembler
20:53
Speaker 5: you get, like the U.S. Geological Survey says, what was that?
20:57
Speaker 5: And so I think people should be watching out for that.
21:01
Speaker 5: Is that your experience as well, James?
21:05
Speaker 8: That is, and that seems to be kind of the
21:09
Speaker 8: rumblings out there, like you said, the chatters that nothing
21:13
Speaker 8: has changed with the demand for silver, especially its demand
21:18
Speaker 8: industrially for solar panels, electric cars, and data centers. None
21:22
Speaker 8: of that has changed, and we're just getting a little
21:26
Speaker 8: bit of a discounted price here. So a lot of
21:28
Speaker 8: people see that as a great buying opportunity. And And
21:32
Speaker 8: the main thing is that that's why we say always
21:34
Speaker 8: to stack over time and to buy your allotted amount
21:37
Speaker 8: once every two weeks, once every month, because then you
21:40
Speaker 8: don't have to play those games of the roller coaster
21:42
Speaker 8: of the ups and downs. You can just stack your
21:44
Speaker 8: silver over time so then you can be prepared for
21:47
Speaker 8: the next breakout.
21:49
Speaker 5: 434-979-COIN after 10 a.m. Eastern or jcsgold.com. Have a great morning, James. Thanks, Joe.

Speaker 12: Hi, I'm Dr. Sandra Fay, President of the American Veterinary
23:05
Speaker 12: Medical Association. With record heat, wildfires and hurricanes forecast this summer,
23:10
Speaker 12: how do we keep our pets safe? No matter where
23:13
Speaker 12: we live, the potential for natural or manmade disasters is
23:17
Speaker 12: a possibility. So preparation is key. First, make sure to
23:22
Speaker 12: have an evacuation plan mapped out in advance. Know where
23:25
Speaker 12: you're going to go and how you're going to get there. Next,
23:29
Speaker 12: Put together a pet emergency kit with several days food, medicine,
23:34
Speaker 12: a first aid kit, and other essential items. Make sure
23:37
Speaker 12: your pets are microchipped with updated contact information in case
23:41
Speaker 12: you get separated. And be sure to have your pet's
23:44
Speaker 12: vaccination and medical records plus contact info for your vet
23:48
Speaker 12: and pharmacy. If you need help on how to prepare,
23:51
Speaker 12: reach out to your veterinarian's office. And for more information,

27:33

28:12
Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
28:17
Speaker 1: Somewhere a perversion has taken place. Our natural, unalienable rights
28:22
Speaker 1: are now considered to be a dispensation of government. And
28:25
Speaker 1: freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping
28:28
Speaker 1: from our grasp as it is at this moment.
28:32
Speaker 5: That was 1964. The just governor of the state of California.
28:40
Speaker 5: Speaking of a time for choosing.
28:42
Speaker 7: And.
28:48
Speaker 5: I've spent some time this morning trying to, you know,
28:51
Speaker 5: fan down the flames of, oh, Trump's using taxpayer money
28:55
Speaker 5: to run campaign. They all do. Everything is a campaign ad.
28:59
Speaker 5: You don't think Barack Obama standing in front of a
29:01
Speaker 5: bunch of White House staffers who all make six-figure salaries
29:06
Speaker 5: but pretended to be doctors standing behind the president wearing
29:10
Speaker 5: white overcoats as he discussed the Patient Protection and Affordable
29:15
Speaker 5: Care Act. You don't think that that was a campaign ad.
29:18
Speaker 15: Ad.
29:21
Speaker 5: You don't think the White House press corps are unwitting
29:29
Speaker 5: campaign ads? There's an expression in broadcasting called the power
29:35
Speaker 5: of incumbency, that each time an actual office holder appears
29:42
Speaker 5: on a newscast, it's worth somewhere between 100 and 1,000
29:48
Speaker 5: paid commercials. But now we see politicians paying broadcast shows.
29:56
Speaker 5: I know of several. It's not illegal. I find it detestable,
30:03
Speaker 5: but it's not illegal. Several radio shows were paid for
30:11
Speaker 5: by the 2016 and 2020 Trump re-election campaigns. Bought up
30:20
Speaker 5: entire radio shows. Just launched TV networks, Trump TV on YouTube.
30:29
Speaker 5: That costs money. Is that a campaign ad showing you
30:33
Speaker 5: when Marco Rubio gives a speech at the UN? Is
30:36
Speaker 5: that a campaign ad?
30:37
Speaker 3: Sure.
30:38
Speaker 5: They all are because we have become addicted to democracy.
30:42
Speaker 5: Everything is up for a vote. Everything needs a vote.
30:45
Speaker 5: Everything needs you to turn out and vote. And yet
30:48
Speaker 5: the more we do it, the fewer of us do it.
30:51
Speaker 5: Our voter turnout has gone down every year. Every year
30:54
Speaker 5: we make it easier to vote and every year we've
30:57
Speaker 5: turned out less. to vote. And at some point, we
31:04
Speaker 5: will have our time for choosing. Because unfortunately, it's too
31:14
Speaker 5: easy for somebody to come along and say, listen, vote
31:17
Speaker 5: for me and I'll fix your stuff for you. And
31:21
Speaker 5: they seem like reasonable people. It doesn't matter whether they
31:24
Speaker 5: be Republican or Democrat. They are perhaps not intentionally, lying
31:29
Speaker 5: to you, deceiving you, misleading you, whatever politically correct, less
31:36
Speaker 5: intense way of saying it is. But our time for
31:40
Speaker 5: choosing is choosing them or us. Can we go back
31:47
Speaker 5: in Reagan's speech just a moment or two before he
31:50
Speaker 5: talks about that perversion? because he's talking about what could
32:03
Speaker 5: be coming from the headlines very much today.
32:06
Speaker 1: Doesn't require expropriation or confiscation of private property or business
32:10
Speaker 1: to impose socialism on a people? What does it mean
32:13
Speaker 1: whether you hold the deed or the title to your
32:16
Speaker 1: business or property if the government holds the power of
32:19
Speaker 1: life and death over that business or property? And such
32:22
Speaker 1: machinery already exists. The government can find some charge to
32:25
Speaker 1: bring against any concern it chooses to prosecute. A businessman
32:32
Speaker 1: has his own tale of harassment. Somewhere a perversion has
32:37
Speaker 1: taken place.
32:39
Speaker 5: So how long ago has that perversion taken place? Did
32:42
Speaker 5: Barack Obama make that perversion? It's fun to say that
32:45
Speaker 5: he did. Did Joe Biden make that perversion? It's fun
32:49
Speaker 5: to say that he did. It's even kind of fun
32:52
Speaker 5: to say George W. Bush or his dad made that perversion.
32:59
Speaker 5: But if we're ever going to get the deed back
33:01
Speaker 5: to our country, you know, where it says we the
33:04
Speaker 5: people on the top, we have to realize, like a
33:09
Speaker 5: recovering alcoholic or a votaholic, maybe that's the phrase we
33:12
Speaker 5: need to invent today, votaholic, governmentaholic, that we're the ones
33:25
Speaker 5: who asked for this. We have great fun, and I
33:30
Speaker 5: mean it very sincerely, when I know an awful lot
33:33
Speaker 5: of people who believe that their public service, there's that
33:37
Speaker 5: word again, today's program brought to you by the number
33:41
Speaker 5: 42 and the word public service, that believe their community service,
33:47
Speaker 5: their public service, is who they voted for. By putting
33:52
Speaker 5: a yard sign for some Democrat in their front yard is.
33:58
Speaker 5: Akin to working once a week at a soup kitchen
34:03
Speaker 5: or at a recovery center or an NICU working with
34:11
Speaker 5: premature drug babies. Because the Democrat goes out and says,
34:22
Speaker 5: vote for me and I'll fix it for you. How's
34:25
Speaker 5: that worked so far? And the reason I'm beating on
34:28
Speaker 5: Reagan's speech, not only is it approaching 62 years, I
34:38
Speaker 5: was one year old when Reagan gave that speech. The
34:43
Speaker 5: Great Society had only just started when Reagan gave that speech.
34:50
Speaker 5: The Great Society, many people, many Reagan historians say that
34:55
Speaker 5: was the straw that broke Reagan's back as he saw
34:58
Speaker 5: the Marxism woven into the DNA of the Lyndon Johnson
35:04
Speaker 5: Great Society bills. But we keep rewarding the people. We
35:10
Speaker 5: want to end abortion. I was just at a wonderful
35:14
Speaker 5: march full of folks. And yes, there are laws that
35:19
Speaker 5: restrict and govern abortion. All these things, but we've grown
35:26
Speaker 5: addicted to the idea that a Republican in office or
35:32
Speaker 5: a majority of Republicans in office can end abortion. We've
35:37
Speaker 5: grown addicted to this idea that a bunch of Democrats
35:41
Speaker 5: in office can end poverty. When it's really only you
35:49
Speaker 5: and me that can do that. But we keep thinking,
35:54
Speaker 5: you know what, it's so simple because we've been gaslighted
35:58
Speaker 5: into thinking that the world is too complex. Read the
36:01
Speaker 5: Federalist Papers. These were written by farmers who had no
36:06
Speaker 5: education beyond what we would consider to be elementary school.
36:12
Speaker 5: Explaining why this government that was going to leave everything
36:15
Speaker 5: in their hands was a better idea than allowing some Queens-appointed...
36:23
Speaker 5: Lord of the Duchy to run everything for them. The
36:29
Speaker 5: Constitution itself was written specifically so that the average American
36:34
Speaker 5: would understand what their responsibilities were because it was clearly
36:39
Speaker 5: laid out what the governments were. And then along comes
36:43
Speaker 5: Hamilton and his ridiculous implied powers. And it begins this
36:52
Speaker 5: run towards here. Hamilton, who never really cared about being
36:56
Speaker 5: in the United States except for the fact that it
36:59
Speaker 5: would give him control of a banking system, all Hamilton
37:03
Speaker 5: ever wanted to do before the revolution was become the
37:07
Speaker 5: head of the Bank of England. He couldn't even get
37:11
Speaker 5: hired by the Bank of England.
37:12
Speaker 2: You know why?
37:13
Speaker 5: Because he was born in the Bahamas. So he said, well,
37:17
Speaker 5: I'll take up with these revolutionaries then. I'll show them. Hamilton.
37:25
Speaker 5: And so, you know, this is an original sin. This
37:28
Speaker 5: is this is still, you know, politicians realizing that if
37:33
Speaker 5: everyone chips in a little bit, that's a lot of
37:36
Speaker 5: money they have in their hands. And it doesn't have
37:38
Speaker 5: to be the mayor of Hacey, Virginia, getting caught committing
37:43
Speaker 5: fraud or the head of the Learing Center in Minneapolis
37:47
Speaker 5: committing fraud or the governor of California or the mayor
37:51
Speaker 5: of Los Angeles committing fraud. healthcare fraud through their minions.
37:56
Speaker 5: It's us permitting them to have all the money to
37:59
Speaker 5: fix our problems.
38:01
Speaker 11: Hi, I'm Mark Falter with the Financial Fitness Show. Have
38:07
Speaker 11: you been keeping up on the big, beautiful bill? If
38:12
Speaker 11: you are over the age of 60, everything you thought
38:16
Speaker 11: you knew about taxes and tax preparation has just done
38:21
Speaker 11: a big shift. So if you want to get more
38:24
Speaker 11: information on how the big, beautiful bill applies to you,
38:30
Speaker 11: I welcome you to call and ask for the tax
38:33
Speaker 11: reform kit. It's got several things in it pertaining to
38:36
Speaker 11: your taxes. A booklet titled Take Charge of Your Taxes,
38:40
Speaker 11: Tax Strategies, several things in it, 866-764-2635.

39:04
Speaker 13: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
39:07
Speaker 13: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
39:13
Speaker 13: I'm Dr.
39:14
Speaker 14: Mitch.
39:14
Speaker 13: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, Our optimized curcumin seems
39:20
Speaker 13: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
39:24
Speaker 13: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
39:29
Speaker 13: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
39:33
Speaker 13: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
39:39
Speaker 13: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or at
39:44
Speaker 13: least slow the spread of cancer and in many instances
39:47
Speaker 13: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
39:52
Speaker 13: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,

Speaker 28: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
40:06
Speaker 28: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
40:10
Speaker 28: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
40:13
Speaker 28: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
40:17
Speaker 28: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
40:21
Speaker 28: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
40:26
Speaker 28: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
40:29
Speaker 28: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
40:33
Speaker 28: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
40:38
Speaker 28: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
40:43
Speaker 28: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
40:46
Speaker 28: enforcement arm the Office of the Inspector General at oig.ssa.gov.
40:54
Speaker 28: Share this information with your friends and family.
40:59
Speaker 2: Hi, everybody.
40:59
Speaker 29: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
41:01
Speaker 29: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
41:05
Speaker 2: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and.
41:06
Speaker 29: Kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at
41:09
Speaker 29: the birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes.
41:13
Speaker 22: Who work hard to provide for their young.
41:14
Speaker 29: Or penguins, who travel up to 500 miles to secure
41:17
Speaker 29: food for their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump
41:21
Speaker 29: allows them to navigate the trees.
41:22
Speaker 5: And the wild in search of fruit.
41:24
Speaker 29: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
41:27
Speaker 29: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
41:30
Speaker 29: but because of their acute senses, they also perform lifesaving
41:34
Speaker 29: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
41:36
Speaker 29: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
41:39
Speaker 29: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
41:42
Speaker 29: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
41:45
Speaker 29: trained roles that contribute to society and help.
41:47
Speaker 3: Those in need.
41:48
Speaker 29: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
41:51
Speaker 29: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this

Speaker 4: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
42:01
Speaker 7: Oh, yeah?
42:02
Speaker 22: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
42:04
Speaker 9: And now a speech.
42:07
Speaker 4: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
42:10
Speaker 22: Heart and brain.
42:12
Speaker 5: Who's with me?
42:13
Speaker 4: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
42:15
Speaker 4: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
42:18
Speaker 4: call me a ride.
42:19
Speaker 26: Love that guy.
42:20
Speaker 12: Me too.
42:21
Speaker 3: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
42:24
Speaker 3: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
42:29
Speaker 17: Did you know that more than half our household energy
42:31
Speaker 17: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
42:35
Speaker 17: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
42:40
Speaker 17: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
42:42
Speaker 17: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
42:46
Speaker 17: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
42:52
Speaker 17: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
42:55
Speaker 17: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
42:59
Speaker 17: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
43:01
Speaker 17: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
43:04
Speaker 17: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
43:08
Speaker 17: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
43:11
Speaker 17: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
43:15

Speaker 19: As a family member or friend, you may be the
43:32
Speaker 19: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
43:35
Speaker 19: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
43:41
Speaker 19: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
43:44
Speaker 19: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories

44:16
Speaker 7: Is it really safe and is it really effective?
44:20
Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
44:35
Speaker 5: Hey, is it an announcement that a steel factory is
44:40
Speaker 5: opening in Iowa, a campaign announcement?
44:43
Speaker 10: Yeah. Yeah, it is. Yeah, it is.
44:49
Speaker 5: The only way it would have been more blatant of
44:52
Speaker 5: a campaign announcement is if J.D. Vance or Marco Rubio
44:55
Speaker 5: was there. And see, that's the magic of it is
44:58
Speaker 5: Trump didn't let J.D. Vance get in there and do
45:01
Speaker 5: this little Iowa thing before the caucuses. And really, at
45:12
Speaker 5: some point, why is it a presidential Oval Office moment
45:16
Speaker 5: that somebody wants to open a steel mill in Iowa?
45:22
Speaker 5: Because if you require the president of the United States
45:26
Speaker 5: to make it so you can open a steel mill,
45:30
Speaker 5: this is an indication of a bigger problem. Obviously, there's
45:36
Speaker 5: a whole lot of reasons why the steel mill wouldn't
45:40
Speaker 5: have opened if there hadn't been federal government intercession. Fix that.
45:46
Speaker 5: Get rid of that. This is the whole drain the
45:49
Speaker 5: swamp thing. Now we're starting to kind of like the swamp.
45:54
Speaker 5: Swamp is handy for hiding the bodies of our enemies.
46:00
Speaker 5: Is the swamp winning? Question mark. I mean, it's a
46:06
Speaker 5: midterm conundrum.
46:08
Speaker 10: Isn't it?
46:08
Speaker 5: Wherever you are, getting ready to vote in the midterms.
46:11
Speaker 5: And despite all of the catfishing, is a Hakeem Jeffries-led
46:20
Speaker 5: Congress going to do anything other than just try to
46:28
Speaker 5: impeach Trump for everything that he's done in the last
46:31
Speaker 5: four years, two years? And I'm not saying they're going
46:35
Speaker 5: to be better than Mike Johnson, but they're certainly going
46:42
Speaker 5: to spend most of their time trying to run Donald
46:47
Speaker 5: Trump out of town rather than come up with solutions for, oh,
46:52
Speaker 5: I don't know, lowering gas prices, which they won't do.
46:57
Speaker 5: And they'll say that, well, the higher gas prices, and
47:00
Speaker 5: I guarantee you, less than two months into Hakeem Jeffries' tenure,
47:06
Speaker 5: if he wins a majority as Speaker of the House,
47:10
Speaker 5: there will be a press conference with AOC and Chuck
47:14
Speaker 5: Schumer and Tim Kaine and all the, Tom Perriello, if
47:19
Speaker 5: he wins, oh yeah, Elaine Luria from Virginia's 1st District
47:24
Speaker 5: and Adam Shifty. They'll all be standing there talking about
47:29
Speaker 5: how The high price of gas is a great opportunity
47:32
Speaker 5: for us to rework our CAFE standards and to recommit
47:37
Speaker 5: ourselves to renewable energy. And the gas prices will go up.
47:45
Speaker 1: Why?
47:46
Speaker 5: Because the symbol for the Democratic Party should not be
47:48
Speaker 5: a blue donkey. It should be a blue catfish. Joel
47:53
Speaker 5: is on the line with us at 434-882-4217. Good morning, Joel.
47:55
Speaker 5: What's going on, my friend?
48:00
Speaker 22: Good morning, Joe. It's finally raining here in Surprise, Arizona.
48:04
Speaker 22: I mean, it's raining.
48:05
Speaker 20: And the temperature is actually, for the first time in
48:10
Speaker 20: six months, it's below 90 at, oh, what time is it?
48:13
Speaker 22: Let's see, 3.53 in the morning.
48:16
Speaker 2: Good for you.
48:17
Speaker 5: You take the breaks where you can there. Hopefully the
48:20
Speaker 5: water is going into somebody's cistern or brethren. So what's
48:24
Speaker 5: on your mind?
48:26
Speaker 22: I think there's a good Rolling Stones song.
48:29
Speaker 20: Last time i know it was a blues song too
48:32
Speaker 20: because they took a lot of american blues and but
48:36
Speaker 20: people don't realize that i mean i'm trying to.
48:39
Speaker 22: Keep stay positive everything else but people.
48:42
Speaker 20: Don't realize their actions and i i know i know
48:46
Speaker 20: what i wrote earlier about congress and the senate smelling
48:49
Speaker 20: their hands what i was saying was that they're so
48:52
Speaker 20: busy doing other things and trying to then trying to
48:55
Speaker 20: get the SAVE Act through and get things done that
48:58
Speaker 20: will actually help overall Americans.
49:00
Speaker 22: But I think all these people in suits that cost $ 3, 000.
49:06
Speaker 20: Or $ 5, 000 or whatever, they need to go out and
49:08
Speaker 20: get some calluses on their hands and go out and
49:11
Speaker 20: actually work in soup kitchens and go volunteer and go
49:16
Speaker 20: clean stables and go milk cows because, oh, there's worker shortages. Well,
49:22
Speaker 20: if there's worker shortages, then go out and work. Because
49:26
Speaker 20: I want to work.
49:27
Speaker 5: But this is the thing. They think that a program
49:30
Speaker 5: that will send money to farmers is the same thing
49:33
Speaker 5: as helping bring the milk in from the barn. And
49:37
Speaker 5: that's what we're doing. We're saying, oh, well, there's hunger
49:40
Speaker 5: in my neighborhood. I'm going to vote for a Democrat
49:43
Speaker 5: so that he'll fix that for me. I'll vote for
49:46
Speaker 5: a Democrat so they'll fix homelessness for me. And the
49:50
Speaker 5: reason I pointed it out the way I did is
49:52
Speaker 5: Republicans will fall prey to the same thing. I want
49:56
Speaker 5: to end abortion. So I'm going to vote for this
49:58
Speaker 5: Republican who says he'll end abortion. And at some point,
50:03
Speaker 5: the flaw in the system is that we're going to
50:07
Speaker 5: give up on the system. And that's when Barack Obama's
50:13
Speaker 5: team shows up with their handy dandy new America pack.
50:18
Speaker 5: and it will be a wonderful document of affirmational rights.
50:23
Speaker 5: You have a right to housing. You have a right
50:25
Speaker 5: to an income. You have a right. It'll be right
50:29
Speaker 5: from Chairman Mao's little red book. And we'll say, you
50:34
Speaker 5: know what? I won't have to worry about paying my
50:37
Speaker 5: electric bill anymore. You'll have a hospital to work at.
50:40
Speaker 5: Better keep your mouth shut, but you'll have a hospital
50:43
Speaker 5: to work at. Those things are going to become a
50:47
Speaker 5: government function we're 90 of the way there anyway joel.
50:52
Speaker 20: I i believe i believe that but it's just it's
50:56
Speaker 20: just the fact that i think they're more afraid about
50:59
Speaker 20: losing their position their their job oh yeah and that's
51:04
Speaker 20: you know that and i i like john fetterman in
51:07
Speaker 20: the way he wears a He wears that hoodie because
51:11
Speaker 20: I don't like some of the things that he says
51:13
Speaker 20: because he's still, you know, doing those Democratic things, you know,
51:16
Speaker 20: as a Democrat.
51:18
Speaker 22: But he's out there being real. I mean, and he
51:20
Speaker 22: had a stroke. At first, I didn't like him.
51:22
Speaker 20: But I think maybe the medical condition changed him because
51:27
Speaker 20: he knows now where his feet are grounded.
51:30
Speaker 22: And I think other people need to, you know.
51:33
Speaker 5: He claims he was always there and he was just,
51:35
Speaker 5: you know, a blue-collar Democrat from the old school of Pennsylvania.
51:40
Speaker 5: You know what? The old school Democrats screwed up a
51:42
Speaker 5: lot of stuff and created a lot. Ronald Reagan was
51:45
Speaker 5: railing against those blue collar Democrats of Lyndon Johnson and
51:50
Speaker 5: that area. So, you know, let's not kid ourselves. Whoever
51:54
Speaker 5: says the government is an answer to the problem is
51:57
Speaker 5: the problem.
51:59
Speaker 20: But the thing is, and like with President Trump, he's
52:05
Speaker 20: making people think. Because we have a Europe that is
52:09
Speaker 20: finally deciding, hey, we got to do things on our own.
52:13
Speaker 20: We got to be a country and we have to
52:16
Speaker 20: be self-sufficient. And President Trump's trying to show, hey, we
52:21
Speaker 20: got to start making our goods again, because we can't
52:24
Speaker 20: have a country that really hates us, not the citizens,
52:30
Speaker 20: but The government's against us, and they're trying to do
52:33
Speaker 20: everything to sabotage us.
52:35
Speaker 5: Danny writes in to text line 434-882-4217, why does it
52:40
Speaker 5: have to be an Indian company making our steel? I'll
52:43
Speaker 5: get into that in a little bit, Joel, but you
52:45
Speaker 5: have a good morning, sir. Enjoy the rain.
52:48
Speaker 22: Thank you.
52:49
Speaker 5: Go out and dance in it.
