- 0:02Speaker 1: Fiant and mourn Megan.
- 0:04Speaker 2: Now make America great again, and I've ever been.
- 0:08Speaker 3: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the talk
- 0:12Speaker 3: media Needwork by Joe Thomas.
- 0:35Speaker 4: Welcome to a Tedsdy on your radio, where we celebrate
- 0:40Speaker 4: God's gifts to you. Why because, as our avatar lives
- 0:46Speaker 4: by example, if you know what it is God has
- 0:49Speaker 4: gifted you to do, and you school up at it
- 0:52Speaker 4: and you're expert at it, and you apply that for
- 0:55Speaker 4: your community, who of course will reward you justly for it,
- 1:00Speaker 4: then whatever the haters say. In the campaign world of
- 1:05Speaker 4: social media, and that's what it is. I've come to
- 1:09Speaker 4: that conclusion after much study that all it is is
- 1:15Speaker 4: everybody's out campaigning against one another. That's why it gets
- 1:18Speaker 4: so wearisome. Everything is a campaign debate, everything is I'm
- 1:24Speaker 4: more important than you are. And here's why. It's not
- 1:27Speaker 4: a conversation. It's a I need to win this conversation
- 1:31Speaker 4: kind of thing. So it makes people disconnect, and that's bad,
- 1:37Speaker 4: it's dangerous. We need to be connected to one another
- 1:40Speaker 4: just so we can't be turned on one another. See
- 1:44Speaker 4: that's the secret sauce, that's what's really behind it all.
- 1:51Speaker 4: They're playing our natural inclination towards Hey, I'm the important
- 1:57Speaker 4: one in this conversation. It's a week. I'm not saying
- 2:00Speaker 4: it's a good thing, but it's one of our vices,
- 2:03Speaker 4: and they're playing it, and they're playing it so that
- 2:06Speaker 4: we will turn on one another, and then they'll have
- 2:09Speaker 4: no choice but to be an authoritarian. You guys have
- 2:12Speaker 4: proven that you're just going to make a bollocks of
- 2:15Speaker 4: it all, and they'll have driven us there, just like
- 2:22Speaker 4: the Knights in White Satin made the case for the
- 2:28Speaker 4: authoritarians in the America two point zero in their establishment
- 2:34Speaker 4: after the Civil War. Of course, we have to have segregation.
- 2:39Speaker 4: Look at what happens when we try to force these
- 2:41Speaker 4: two groups together. My god, you wouldn't want to do that,
- 2:46Speaker 4: would you? Just like Crystal knocked, and a reminder that
- 2:53Speaker 4: the Nazis copied everything they did from the Dixiecrats in
- 3:00Speaker 4: the American South. So don't get all puffed up and thinking, well,
- 3:07Speaker 4: that's not going to happen here. It's already happened here.
- 3:12Speaker 4: And it isn't a new civil war that we're facing.
- 3:16Speaker 4: It's the same old one from before. Let me get
- 3:19Speaker 4: to Koreem's hanging on the line with us at four
- 3:21Speaker 4: three four eight eight two four two one seven so
- 3:24Speaker 4: we can find out how the news of the day
- 3:26Speaker 4: is impacting him. Good morning, sir, how are you doing.
- 3:30Speaker 5: Warrant Joe. I'm doing well.
- 3:31Speaker 6: Currently passing through Christiansburg and join the let's see fifty
- 3:36Speaker 6: nine degree weather.
- 3:37Speaker 4: You know, if Christiansburg was, you know, run by leftists,
- 3:41Speaker 4: they'd be insisting that the name must be changed because
- 3:44Speaker 4: it implies that only those people are allowed.
- 3:48Speaker 5: You know.
- 3:48Speaker 4: That's that's, unfortunately the narrative that we live in. Every
- 3:51Speaker 4: time I find a town like that, I'm like, oh, well,
- 3:54Speaker 4: the leftists haven't changed the name of that town yet anyway,
- 3:57Speaker 4: So what's on your mind as you traveled of the
- 4:00Speaker 4: highways and byways?
- 4:03Speaker 5: L G B, t Q plus Burg. Is that what
- 4:06Speaker 5: it means right now?
- 4:07Speaker 7: I'm it's everybody Burg. It's everybody Burg. It's inclusive city.
- 4:14Speaker 7: I'm sorry I was mean spirited. Their apologies, two spirits.
- 4:18Speaker 7: I forgot that, Thank you, Joe. Uh So they're going
- 4:22Speaker 7: back to trumpet.
- 4:23Speaker 6: It was part of the news in mccungee, Pennsylvania at
- 4:27Speaker 6: the Mac plant. I'm thankful that Volvo, which owns Mac
- 4:32Speaker 6: builds their trucks in Virginia or symbols in Virginia and
- 4:36Speaker 6: in Pennsylvania. UH currently a freightliner owned by Dominic Chrysler
- 4:42Speaker 6: is built in North Carolina and Mexico and Peterborough. Peterbilt
- 4:49Speaker 6: and Kenworth are owned by an American company, pack Card.
- 4:52Speaker 5: So it's nice that they build the facility.
- 4:55Speaker 6: They built the simple trucks here, but they still are
- 4:58Speaker 6: owned by overseas can go oates. Much like the data
- 5:01Speaker 6: centers right now, we currently have over four thousand data centers.
- 5:05Speaker 5: In the US.
- 5:07Speaker 6: Okay, it only takes a little bit of a maneuvering
- 5:10Speaker 6: for those data centers even though they're here to be
- 5:13Speaker 6: owned by companies elsewhere.
- 5:15Speaker 5: Just like Dominion Energy is being bought out, is that
- 5:18Speaker 5: still going through that Florida company.
- 5:20Speaker 4: Buying It's in the it's in the regulatory you're talking
- 5:23Speaker 4: about First first Gen or next Gen is the electric
- 5:30Speaker 4: company out of Florida that's trying to buy Dominion. And
- 5:33Speaker 4: don't let anyone's news coverage fool you. They are buying
- 5:36Speaker 4: Dominion Energy of Virginia because Dominion shareholders are getting like
- 5:41Speaker 4: seventy five cents out of the dollar for their stocks.
- 5:44Speaker 4: So they're the ones being bought out. But you know,
- 5:47Speaker 4: let's not forget that when you say these publicly traded companies,
- 5:51Speaker 4: though they may be headquartered overseas, you have to also
- 5:55Speaker 4: look at how many American investors there are in it,
- 5:59Speaker 4: how many four one ks and iras and those sorts
- 6:02Speaker 4: of things are invested. Because you know, often you say, oh,
- 6:07Speaker 4: it's a foreign based company, okay, but how many Americans
- 6:12Speaker 4: benefit from ownership of that publicly traded company. How many
- 6:18Speaker 4: people are going to be able to retire comfortably because
- 6:21Speaker 4: they invested in that publicly traded company, even if it
- 6:25Speaker 4: is owned off overseas. In order to operate in the
- 6:30Speaker 4: United States, you have to operate under United States law,
- 6:34Speaker 4: whether or not your CEO, you know, is living in
- 6:37Speaker 4: a DACA somewhere in Russia.
- 6:41Speaker 5: Operating is a keyword in that senis Joe.
- 6:44Speaker 6: It's nice that there's some profit in dividend coming off
- 6:48Speaker 6: that stock purchase, But for example BMW Mercedes, because I
- 6:52Speaker 6: use those as the cream of the crop as far
- 6:55Speaker 6: as European ownership of vehicles, that's what I'm told. I
- 6:59Speaker 6: don't own one, but used car market for those which honestly,
- 7:03Speaker 6: most Americans we can't buy new.
- 7:05Speaker 5: We have to buy us.
- 7:06Speaker 6: It's so cheap for those because fixing them is cost prohibitive.
- 7:12Speaker 6: Working on them cost prohibitive. I mean, if you look
- 7:14Speaker 6: at the BMW, the assembly plants. Usually if it comes
- 7:16Speaker 6: down the assembly line, the engine goes from the underside
- 7:19Speaker 6: of the car up. When we fix something, we flip
- 7:23Speaker 6: open the hood and rereach in. So I get where
- 7:27Speaker 6: there's selling us a very well engineered and finally tuned car.
- 7:33Speaker 6: But the cost of maintenance, the cost of owning it,
- 7:36Speaker 6: cost of just insurance keeping it rolling on the I
- 7:42Speaker 6: don't think the dividend is going to pay for that.
- 7:44Speaker 5: I get it. It's energy that has to be profit
- 7:47Speaker 5: generated to every and what you.
- 7:49Speaker 6: Talking about corve hearts, bankruptcy and lawsuits.
- 7:54Speaker 4: Well, no, it's a venture capital firm bought up a
- 7:58Speaker 4: bunch of the after market part manufacturers and then close
- 8:04Speaker 4: and then close it. So there's there's right now a
- 8:07Speaker 4: shortage of after market part you know, as they scramble
- 8:10Speaker 4: to find somebody to fill the void. I understand there's
- 8:13Speaker 4: some folks who are trying to tool up for that.
- 8:16Speaker 4: But in the closure they just closed, they didn't sell,
- 8:19Speaker 4: there was no bankruptcy or anything where you could buy
- 8:21Speaker 4: the manufacturing facilities. This closed them, just closed them. It
- 8:25Speaker 4: was like the remember you're not old enough, you're a kid.
- 8:29Speaker 4: But the eighties and the event the corporate raiders that
- 8:33Speaker 4: would come in take the overfunded pension bank account and
- 8:37Speaker 4: then close the company. And you know, a lot of
- 8:40Speaker 4: that ugly stuff went on, and that was kind of
- 8:43Speaker 4: what happened to the auto parts after market auto parts industry.
- 8:46Speaker 4: But here's the thing, and coming up on a break,
- 8:48Speaker 4: so I don't want to divulge too much, but stay
- 8:52Speaker 4: tuned because there's there's more foot than just foreign companies
- 8:57Speaker 4: doing things in the United States. It's part parcel of
- 9:00Speaker 4: why we want to have international trade, but put America
- 9:04Speaker 4: first as we discuss it President Trump and mccongee. As
- 9:07Speaker 4: you mentioned, Koreem. But I appreciate you teeing it, op
- 9:11Speaker 4: and I'll get into it more depth coming up. You
- 9:16Speaker 4: have a good morning, sir.
- 9:18Speaker 8: Thanks At Hotshot Secret, we share the science behind common
- 9:22Speaker 8: diesel problems in their solutions.
- 9:24Speaker 4: For example, diesel few will set levels.
- 9:26Speaker 8: In many states the cetane rating and diesel fuel is
- 9:29Speaker 8: forty two to forty five. Most diesel engines operate more
- 9:32Speaker 8: efficiently with the cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one.
- 9:35Speaker 8: Treatment of hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your
- 9:38Speaker 8: seatane seven points, increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts.
- 9:42Speaker 8: Due to a cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons in
- 9:45Speaker 8: particulate matter in your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of
- 9:48Speaker 8: your diesel particulate filter. Using Diesel Extreme generates eighty three
- 9:52Speaker 8: percent less DPF regenerations.
- 9:55Speaker 4: The six and one Diesel.
- 9:56Speaker 8: Extreme formula also includes the most concentrated detergent on the market,
- 10:01Speaker 8: lubricity enhancer, water de multifier, rust and corrosion inhibitors, and
- 10:05Speaker 8: a fuel stabilizer.
- 10:07Speaker 1: Hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme is available nationwide at truck stops,
- 10:10Speaker 1: Fine Farman Auto stores and online at Hotshotsecret dot com.

- 10:41Speaker 4: Text the morning, thank you for joining us and letting
- 10:44Speaker 4: us be of service to you. I appreciate it and
- 10:48Speaker 4: please you know join in at four three four eight
- 10:51Speaker 4: eight two four to two one seven. That is our
- 10:54Speaker 4: phone number. It's also text messaging. Their emails come into
- 10:58Speaker 4: JT in the Morning Radio at gmail dot com. So
- 11:05Speaker 4: kareem a commonplace thing, and I push back against it because,
- 11:12Speaker 4: first and foremost it's usually promoted by the Marxist, but
- 11:15Speaker 4: it's popular, and Marxism is popular. Being told that somebody
- 11:24Speaker 4: screwed you over is a popular thing to campaign people
- 11:28Speaker 4: on because telling somebody you might have had something to
- 11:36Speaker 4: do with it. Oh no, no, no, don't victim shame me, mister.
- 11:41Speaker 4: And one of the reasons democracy in and of itself
- 11:45Speaker 4: is in its purest sense, is a dangerous, volatile, inhumane
- 11:52Speaker 4: form of government is its mob rule. It is an organized, authorized,
- 12:00Speaker 4: sanctified form of mob rule. And the reason the founding
- 12:12Speaker 4: fathers didn't set up a democracy was that they knew
- 12:15Speaker 4: it was mob rule. That you get enough people to
- 12:21Speaker 4: not show up to vote, and then you can manipulate
- 12:25Speaker 4: a plurality of the few that remain that show up
- 12:29Speaker 4: and vote, convince everyone that voting has no points, so
- 12:33Speaker 4: half of them don't show up. I mean, my gosh,
- 12:40Speaker 4: some of the biggest presidential turnouts scrape seventy percent voter turnout. Now,
- 12:48Speaker 4: even accepting the idea that some of those registered voters
- 12:53Speaker 4: that didn't turn out are deceased, the Democratic Party hadn't
- 12:59Speaker 4: figured out that they could be voted for or whatever.
- 13:05Speaker 4: Even if you knock an egregious percentage, statistically impossible percentage,
- 13:12Speaker 4: but I'm going to do it just for the sake
- 13:14Speaker 4: of argument ten percent off for clerical there's still twenty
- 13:22Speaker 4: percent of the population doesn't get involved. And that's in
- 13:25Speaker 4: a presidential election that gets all the media coverage you
- 13:31Speaker 4: get down into these house races and when you get
- 13:33Speaker 4: into the midterms. Here's the gas lighting that's going on
- 13:36Speaker 4: heading towards the midterms as we get into summer season.
- 13:41Speaker 4: Look at the voter turnouts in New York City. In
- 13:43Speaker 4: these primaries, you're looking at ten percent of the congressional
- 13:49Speaker 4: district's population fifteen percent choosing the socialists over the other socialist,
- 13:57Speaker 4: the social that admits it publicly, that wants to come
- 14:02Speaker 4: after you with pitchforks and torches, versus the one that's
- 14:06Speaker 4: coy about it. But that's what you're getting, is you're
- 14:12Speaker 4: getting ten percent of the population forcing everyone else to
- 14:17Speaker 4: do what they want because they know where the pitchforks
- 14:20Speaker 4: and torches are. We call them ballots, and so we
- 14:27Speaker 4: vote for people that will punish your business, will confiscate
- 14:30Speaker 4: your wealth because we voted for it. That's tyranny. We
- 14:37Speaker 4: were talking about that. Over the weekend. We had a
- 14:39Speaker 4: Patrick Henry reenactor from Saint John's Church here in Richmond, Virginia,
- 14:43Speaker 4: where Patrick Henry actually gave the give me liberty or
- 14:46Speaker 4: give me death speech, and he's talking about tyranny. I
- 14:50Speaker 4: picked up on the soft tyranny of low expectations. But
- 14:54Speaker 4: there's a greater tyranny. It's the tyranny of the mob,
- 14:58Speaker 4: the tyranny of democra. And that's what you hear in
- 15:04Speaker 4: Kareem's point is that the news coverage, whether it be
- 15:08Speaker 4: manipulative or reactive, is covering these stories like, oh, look
- 15:13Speaker 4: at these big foreign companies. But what they never cover
- 15:16Speaker 4: is why is it more cost effective to make something
- 15:23Speaker 4: in China than it is in the United States. And
- 15:27Speaker 4: I'm not saying their labor laws should be copied here,
- 15:30Speaker 4: but we need to look at what we're doing because
- 15:34Speaker 4: the reactive politician, after hemorrhaging away the value of the
- 15:40Speaker 4: US dollar to the point where the same dollar in
- 15:44Speaker 4: nineteen sixty only buys ten cents worth of stuff now,
- 15:49Speaker 4: so we have to continue to increase wages, which increase
- 15:54Speaker 4: the cost of things to the and it's exactly what
- 16:00Speaker 4: happened when Hugo shopas did it in Venezuela. The prices
- 16:04Speaker 4: of everything go up, and then the wage increases that
- 16:09Speaker 4: were just passed by the populace Marxists. So now we
- 16:12Speaker 4: need price controls and people just start closing businesses and
- 16:16Speaker 4: we all wind up unemployed, rioting because and then the
- 16:20Speaker 4: government comes in and takes over the means of production.
- 16:25Speaker 4: But you voted for it, or you stayed home and
- 16:28Speaker 4: allowed other people to vote for it. And I'm sorry,
- 16:32Speaker 4: it's not a populist message. I love you too much
- 16:35Speaker 4: to lie to you and tell you that's not what's happening.
- 16:41Speaker 4: If you don't want to listen to the radio program
- 16:43Speaker 4: because I'm not blowing smoke up your skirts, that's your
- 16:47Speaker 4: choice and at my peril. But I can't sleep at
- 16:50Speaker 4: night thinking I lied to you just to make you
- 16:52Speaker 4: feel good as you either wind up or wind up
- 16:57Speaker 4: your day. Good morning, your the air with Joe. Who's
- 17:00Speaker 4: this first thing this morning?
- 17:03Speaker 9: Come on, tell it's Clark, and I'll go get my
- 17:06Speaker 9: skirt if you'll both smoke of it.
- 17:08Speaker 4: Let me go get my smoke machine left over from
- 17:10Speaker 4: when this long hair of mine actually applied.
- 17:14Speaker 5: Okay, So a couple of things.
- 17:17Speaker 9: Conversation with Kareem and foreign owned versus domestically owned companies
- 17:26Speaker 9: with Blackrock, Vangarden, State Street. How applicable.
- 17:32Speaker 5: Is foreign and American owned anymore? You know how many
- 17:39Speaker 5: companies do those labels really apply to anymore?
- 17:44Speaker 4: Well, look, get to look at the ports. So President
- 17:46Speaker 4: Trump made a big deal and I'm not trying to
- 17:48Speaker 4: slag the president this foreign policy, but they they got
- 17:53Speaker 4: the ports at either side of the Panama Canal out
- 17:57Speaker 4: of Chinese control and turned it over to an American
- 18:00Speaker 4: investment firm. That's no, no, no, And the investment and
- 18:03Speaker 4: the investment firm's biggest headquarters is in Beijing. So I mean,
- 18:08Speaker 4: you tell me, you know, are they Because in order
- 18:11Speaker 4: to operate in China, you have to be or at
- 18:13Speaker 4: least that part of your business has to be fifty
- 18:15Speaker 4: percent Chinese controlled. So the government owns this venture capital
- 18:20Speaker 4: firm that may be based in the United States, but
- 18:23Speaker 4: it's run by China. And now they run the ports
- 18:25Speaker 4: at either end of the Panama Canal. Sure, they're headquarters
- 18:30Speaker 4: they're founding is in New York City, But where they
- 18:34Speaker 4: are now is China, and so you know, it's it's
- 18:39Speaker 4: an easy hit. That's all I'm saying is is it's
- 18:42Speaker 4: an easy target to say foreign owned companies. And I
- 18:47Speaker 4: think your point is exactly that, that it's an easy
- 18:50Speaker 4: hit to say foreign owned companies when you know, you
- 18:53Speaker 4: look at how many Volkswagens and Volvos and the like
- 18:57Speaker 4: are manufactured in the United States Tennessee, North Carolina, all
- 19:03Speaker 4: those companies that moved into the United States over the years.
- 19:08Speaker 10: Crime across the country is at an all time high.
- 19:11Speaker 10: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
- 19:14Speaker 10: a risk. We don't want the feeling of being unprotected
- 19:17Speaker 10: and vulnerable. We found GETCCL dot com. Getccl dot com

- 20:21Speaker 3: didn't cost anything in the first place, so let's.
- 20:24Speaker 7: Say one million dollars.
- 20:28Speaker 3: I'm calling first thing today by Joe Thomas on the
- 20:32Speaker 3: Talk Media Network.
- 20:36Speaker 4: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
- 20:38Speaker 4: on this Tednesday morning where we gather together and trying
- 20:42Speaker 4: to make sense of it all. There James Luck, our
- 20:46Speaker 4: friend from jcsgold dot com. Another busy day yesterday is
- 20:51Speaker 4: Gold and Silver decided to go on sale yesterday morning.
- 20:54Speaker 4: Let's see if that continues before we commence the festivals
- 20:59Speaker 4: this morning. How are you doing this morning, James.
- 21:02Speaker 11: I'm Joan Wall Joe and Gold and Silver have steep
- 21:05Speaker 11: in that sale a little bit. Today gold is down
- 21:09Speaker 11: another one and a quarter percent, down fifty one dollars
- 21:11Speaker 11: to four and fifty nine dollars so we're getting right
- 21:15Speaker 11: close to about the lowest levels we've seen and quite
- 21:20Speaker 11: some time now, I want to say, maybe almost a year.
- 21:23Speaker 11: And silver is bouncing right at sixty dollars and seventy
- 21:27Speaker 11: five cents, down about one percent so far today.
- 21:30Speaker 4: Hey, honey, you better go through the couch and see
- 21:32Speaker 4: if we can find any and call James later. Uh
- 21:35Speaker 4: four three four nine seven nine. Coin is who you
- 21:38Speaker 4: talk to and and find out is this a good time.
- 21:41Speaker 4: I don't know what your economic world looks like. I
- 21:43Speaker 4: know what mine looks like. And that's why I talked
- 21:47Speaker 4: to James and his folks and their team at the
- 21:50Speaker 4: Jefferson Coin shop, which is there at four to three
- 21:54Speaker 4: four ninety seven nine coin. Not trying to upsell, not
- 21:57Speaker 4: trying to do anything like that, just trying to help
- 21:59Speaker 4: you navigate these waters there, James, and I hope folks
- 22:05Speaker 4: are giving you a call and finding out this kind
- 22:07Speaker 4: of stuff, because it does sound like there's a good
- 22:09Speaker 4: buying opportunity, isn't it.
- 22:12Speaker 5: Absolutely?
- 22:13Speaker 11: And that's what we say is that you know, with
- 22:15Speaker 11: the strategy is not to trade gold and silver, you know,
- 22:18Speaker 11: to play the roller coaster, you know type of things.
- 22:23Speaker 11: It's just you take advantage of discounts, and we've seen
- 22:26Speaker 11: some discounts this week that a lot of our clients
- 22:28Speaker 11: really have taken advantage of. You know, when you look
- 22:31Speaker 11: at the overall graph, you see that really this could
- 22:34Speaker 11: be the right buying.
- 22:35Speaker 5: Time for some people.
- 22:36Speaker 11: And that's what we love to talk about and see
- 22:38Speaker 11: what the gold and silver products are best for you.
- 22:41Speaker 4: Thank you, James, I appreciated jcsgold dot com. Doctor Clark
- 22:45Speaker 4: was on the line with us. We were talking about
- 22:46Speaker 4: foreign owned businesses and China is some of the worst
- 22:49Speaker 4: because they actually do own it.
- 22:51Speaker 9: I'm perfectly willing to stipulate that Chinese owned in any way,
- 22:57Speaker 9: shape or form is foreign owned. Now the rest of it,
- 23:02Speaker 9: I don't know.
- 23:03Speaker 5: I question. I think it's whichever.
- 23:06Speaker 9: Country it's most economically advantageous to say ownership is in
- 23:12Speaker 9: at this.
- 23:12Speaker 5: Point in time.
- 23:14Speaker 4: Okay, you know, and if.
- 23:18Speaker 9: It makes more sense for the people that have total
- 23:20Speaker 9: control of dime ord to say it's still in that country,
- 23:24Speaker 9: then keep it in that country. But you know, if
- 23:28Speaker 9: the cost of moving it will be offset and next
- 23:31Speaker 9: number of years by the advantage of moving it to
- 23:33Speaker 9: this country, than by all.
- 23:35Speaker 5: Means, let's move it. But you see, just a general sense.
- 23:38Speaker 9: I get I don't have anything.
- 23:39Speaker 5: To prove it.
- 23:40Speaker 4: Well, but if we're seventy percent of the world's consumers,
- 23:44Speaker 4: why wouldn't it be more cost effective to manufacture your
- 23:48Speaker 4: stuff here? And that's where And it's not labor law
- 23:51Speaker 4: per se. It's when I say labor law, people immediately
- 23:54Speaker 4: go to wages. And that's not it. It's all the
- 23:57Speaker 4: things that the company has to go through too. Yeah,
- 24:02Speaker 4: you know, no payroll taxes ring, Oh yeah, I mean
- 24:07Speaker 4: that's just the paperwork I'm talking about, you know, payroll
- 24:10Speaker 4: taxes and things like that. Why am I paying taxes
- 24:14Speaker 4: for me to pay an employee? That doesn't make any sense,
- 24:18Speaker 4: But the government says I have to pay almost as much.
- 24:21Speaker 4: I have exactly one employee at Thomas Media, and I
- 24:25Speaker 4: have to send the government almost as much as I
- 24:28Speaker 4: pay them in taxes for the right to pay them.
- 24:34Speaker 4: It's just it's crazy making.
- 24:38Speaker 9: I hired a guy several years ago, and I guess
- 24:42Speaker 9: technically it was a ward of the state. Never had
- 24:45Speaker 9: a job before. Got a call from in place he stayed.
- 24:50Speaker 9: He liked animals. They wanted to get him out of
- 24:52Speaker 9: the home some so yeah, sure, bring him to the
- 24:55Speaker 9: clinic and he can hang out with us.
- 24:58Speaker 5: And that went on for about two and Joe mentioned
- 25:03Speaker 5: that he had never had a job. Do you want
- 25:06Speaker 5: a job?
- 25:06Speaker 2: Joe?
- 25:07Speaker 5: Yeah, I would like to have a job. Okay, I'll
- 25:10Speaker 5: tell you what. Tuesdays and Thursdays.
- 25:13Speaker 9: You come in at eleven and you sweep the four
- 25:17Speaker 9: and you be all the garbage cans, and I'll put
- 25:19Speaker 9: you on the payroll.
- 25:20Speaker 1: Okay.
- 25:22Speaker 9: Oh my gosh, Joe, had I only known what I
- 25:26Speaker 9: was getting into. That was the most onerous mess of
- 25:31Speaker 9: paperwork I have ever seen.
- 25:34Speaker 4: Just to employ a guy two days a.
- 25:35Speaker 5: Week, body for four hours a week.
- 25:38Speaker 4: Yep. And this is this is what people think when
- 25:42Speaker 4: you say labor law, they think they immediately run to
- 25:44Speaker 4: the populist. Oh you you want American workers to make less?
- 25:48Speaker 4: I'm not sure you know mandating wages is fair because
- 25:53Speaker 4: you know, how does the government know what impact Joe
- 25:56Speaker 4: might have on your clinic. But if it, if it
- 25:59Speaker 4: makes the clinic more efficient, and you can serve more,
- 26:04Speaker 4: you pet owners than he's brought value, So you reward
- 26:08Speaker 4: them by the value that they've created for your company.
- 26:11Speaker 4: That's econ one oh one.
- 26:14Speaker 9: Well, both the state and the federal government supported him,
- 26:19Speaker 9: and they.
- 26:20Speaker 5: Wanted to know to every mill how much less they
- 26:25Speaker 5: were on the hook for.
- 26:29Speaker 4: That's that's true, and you know it was just incredible.
- 26:33Speaker 4: But you would think they would be rewarding you for that.
- 26:36Speaker 4: They would be saying, this is awesome. You know this
- 26:39Speaker 4: this clinic is now hiring this guy and he no
- 26:41Speaker 4: longer has to require federal government support. But that's not
- 26:46Speaker 4: how they behave That's not how they treat you. It's
- 26:48Speaker 4: almost like they're doing you a favor.
- 26:51Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm thinking, Zee, no good deed goes unplished her.
- 26:56Speaker 4: That is the truth.
- 26:57Speaker 5: Yeah, we didn't.
- 26:58Speaker 9: I mean, our manufacturing jobs didn't leave the United States
- 27:03Speaker 9: go somewhere else, Joe. They were driven overseas well.
- 27:07Speaker 4: You think about the chicken, So imagine the humble chicken
- 27:11Speaker 4: there del Mar Peninsula, you know, mount Air, Purdue, whoever
- 27:15Speaker 4: it is, and they have to send these chickens to
- 27:19Speaker 4: China to be processed, cut up as you, butchered, frozen,
- 27:25Speaker 4: and then sent back to the United States. How is
- 27:28Speaker 4: that less expensive than doing it in the United States?
- 27:33Speaker 4: But it is. It's so it's more cost, it costs
- 27:41Speaker 4: more cost. Conscious that's not the right word helps, and
- 27:44Speaker 4: I lost the phrase more cost effective. That's the phrase.
- 27:48Speaker 4: I wanted to put it on a boat. Put the
- 27:52Speaker 4: chicken on a boat. Well, first put it on a truck.
- 27:54Speaker 4: Then put it on a boat. Pay teamsters and other
- 27:57Speaker 4: union doc workers to load the boat, pay for the
- 28:01Speaker 4: assurance on the boat, drive the boat, and all the
- 28:03Speaker 4: bunker fuel it needs to China. Then you know, Chinese
- 28:07Speaker 4: trucker takes it and then takes it to the factory.
- 28:09Speaker 4: They butcher the chicken, They freeze the chicken, and then
- 28:11Speaker 4: they put it back on a boat and pay for
- 28:14Speaker 4: the bunker fuel and bring it on back, put it
- 28:16Speaker 4: on a teamster's driven truck after the teamsters unloaded it
- 28:20Speaker 4: from a Chinese port and in Long Beach or someplace
- 28:24Speaker 4: like that, and then it comes to your grocery store.
- 28:26Speaker 4: And that is more cost effective than butchering them in
- 28:29Speaker 4: Ocean City or Berlin, Maryland. Come on, now, how.
- 28:34Speaker 9: Much do they pay for workers' healthcare there versus here?
- 28:39Speaker 4: But it's the trade deals on top of it. It's
- 28:41Speaker 4: China saying you can't sell your chicken here unless you
- 28:45Speaker 4: make it here. So then they start to count noses,
- 28:48Speaker 4: and I don't know how a marketplace full of communists
- 28:51Speaker 4: who get what the government tells them they're allowed to get,
- 28:55Speaker 4: has become such a big market place. But growth is growth,
- 28:59Speaker 4: I guess. But I've got to run, Doctor Clark, bless you, sir,
- 29:02Speaker 4: Thank you for your thoughts on it.
- 29:05Speaker 5: Don't what you do.
- 29:09Speaker 2: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes?
- 29:14Speaker 2: Actually three known gas is I I'm doctor Mitch, and
- 29:19Speaker 2: nitric oxide is a gas that's readily made all day
- 29:23Speaker 2: long to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood
- 29:27Speaker 2: vessel walls. By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood,
- 29:33Speaker 2: oxygen and nutrients to every part of your body. Both
- 29:38Speaker 2: age and poor diet can lead to a loss of
- 29:41Speaker 2: this precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
- 29:45Speaker 2: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
- 29:48Speaker 2: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate nitric Oxide,
- 29:53Speaker 2: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

- 30:25Speaker 4: You say bad? I know you said bad? Scratch, Oh no, no,
- 30:37Speaker 4: that's not bad. Scratch fever. Listen, we want to mask them.
- 30:51Speaker 4: Received a couple of days ago, I received this email
- 30:53Speaker 4: from somebody who was listening to our podcasts. I think
- 30:57Speaker 4: they they They mentioned that they get them through Spotify,
- 31:00Speaker 4: all the different ways you can download. We're doing it
- 31:04Speaker 4: a little different way. We're creating thematic blocks. So like
- 31:08Speaker 4: if we're talking chi Com influence on our economy and
- 31:14Speaker 4: we move on to something else or mac us sports
- 31:16Speaker 4: and we come back to it at a later point,
- 31:18Speaker 4: or there's a phone call about it, we lump that
- 31:20Speaker 4: all together, so there's thematic so you can get oh,
- 31:23Speaker 4: this is the this was the bit he was talking
- 31:25Speaker 4: about whatever. But Maureen writes in on the subject of
- 31:33Speaker 4: Tony Fauci and Director Gabberd's bag of burning syringes that
- 31:41Speaker 4: she left on her way out of the Office of
- 31:44Speaker 4: the Director of National Intelligence, and Maureen writes in, I
- 31:49Speaker 4: really appreciated your point about the fact that it wasn't
- 31:52Speaker 4: a bigger conversation point. I listened to an awful lot
- 31:55Speaker 4: of talk radio show and often hosts get annoyed when
- 31:59Speaker 4: the doo don't call on the topics they want to
- 32:03Speaker 4: have a conversation about your point that it seemed like
- 32:07Speaker 4: we all knew this hull along was well taken and
- 32:11Speaker 4: refreshing to hear. Thank you keep talking about it. We
- 32:15Speaker 4: just don't need to call in because we've been calling
- 32:17Speaker 4: in about this for years. Yes, Joe Mareen. Absolutely. At
- 32:24Speaker 4: first I was like, how is this not the biggest
- 32:26Speaker 4: story out here, Dia. But it's because it's just confirmation bias.
- 32:32Speaker 4: We already knew all this stuff. It's nice to know
- 32:36Speaker 4: the government did too. It's disheartening to know that the
- 32:40Speaker 4: government knew this too and didn't do anything about it
- 32:45Speaker 4: because there's legalism going on here. He was given permission
- 32:50Speaker 4: to do these things. Why is this not a part
- 32:54Speaker 4: of the Barack Obama Presidential mausoleum? The Obama Presidential Penitentiary
- 33:07Speaker 4: on the side of Lake Michigan should have a whole
- 33:10Speaker 4: floor dedicated to Tony take the shot, leave the Canoli's
- 33:15Speaker 4: fauci and the development of the WU flu. Because it
- 33:19Speaker 4: was his directive to say, Tony, We're not going to
- 33:23Speaker 4: do this stuff here anymore. Get all this stuff, back
- 33:25Speaker 4: it up, get it lot little Atlanta, and Tony said, okay, Boss.
- 33:35Speaker 4: They made a phone call and they outsourced, just like
- 33:38Speaker 4: we were talking about our economy. So we decided it
- 33:41Speaker 4: was more efficient to make our bio weapons in the
- 33:44Speaker 4: Wuhan districts of China than it was in Atlanta. And
- 33:53Speaker 4: this ties into the data center thing as well, because
- 33:56Speaker 4: the chi cooms are spending an awful lot of money
- 34:02Speaker 4: manipulating the data center debate in the United States, scare tactics,
- 34:08Speaker 4: paying for advocacy groups to go out there and say
- 34:12Speaker 4: this that. Oh, it's the water, it's the electric it's
- 34:17Speaker 4: because China wants us to close all of our data
- 34:20Speaker 4: centers so they can open the data centers. And there's
- 34:28Speaker 4: a reason they didn't want to do the gain of
- 34:30Speaker 4: function research in Atlanta, because there's things like whistleblowers, there
- 34:36Speaker 4: are things like Foyer requests. There are things like investigative
- 34:42Speaker 4: journalists that might have uncovered the bioweapons lab in Atlanta,
- 34:46Speaker 4: whereas the ones in the Ukraine and China were going
- 34:50Speaker 4: to go unnoticed. No, no investigative journalists here, No, no, no,
- 34:55Speaker 4: no faster than you can say. As a matter of fact,
- 34:58Speaker 4: I bet you some of the labs got money from
- 35:00Speaker 4: Boris Maholdings. You know Boris movie. Oh you know what
- 35:04Speaker 4: you're doing that lab work we got we will gift
- 35:07Speaker 4: you the gas lines to do your work. So there's
- 35:17Speaker 4: so many more moving parts when you you just say
- 35:20Speaker 4: foreign companies, you know the kind thing. It's the demagoguery
- 35:24Speaker 4: of the Marxist. You have to watch for that feeling,
- 35:29Speaker 4: because you're gonna hear it in the news all the time.
- 35:31Speaker 4: There will be a special report, NBC special report, foreign influence,
- 35:39Speaker 4: you know. And and the funny thing about it is
- 35:41Speaker 4: all these people talking about all these foreign companies. You
- 35:45Speaker 4: know what's missing from all these conversations and all these
- 35:48Speaker 4: network news reports about all this foreign companies and anyone
- 35:54Speaker 4: talking about the farm land by our military basis. I
- 36:00Speaker 4: mean just pointing out China owns all this land, Chinese
- 36:04Speaker 4: owned investment firms buying up all the housing. Anyone got
- 36:10Speaker 4: a problem with that? Oh, it's the it's the German
- 36:13Speaker 4: car companies, and it's the Japanese car companies, and it's
- 36:17Speaker 4: the Because you're being cast lighted by being given a
- 36:24Speaker 4: story in the news about some foreign company Stalantis or whatever,
- 36:34Speaker 4: you're left with the impression that your TV news anchor
- 36:38Speaker 4: or your favorite website news anchor is out there digging
- 36:41Speaker 4: on something when they're missing the big thing, which is
- 36:46Speaker 4: all the housing that's being bought up by the chi cooms.
- 36:51Speaker 4: Trump is trying to stop it, and people are like,
- 36:54Speaker 4: it's federalism, you can't get involved in local housing. But
- 37:01Speaker 4: he seems to be the only one who notices it.
- 37:05Speaker 4: You know, whether he has the constitutional authority, that's not,
- 37:08Speaker 4: but he has a bully pulpit to bring it up.
- 37:11Speaker 4: So the press must downplay it because that's what they do,
- 37:30Speaker 4: forcing and having protectionists. That's not good anymore either. But
- 37:35Speaker 4: what the game is is we want cheaper stuff. This
- 37:42Speaker 4: is an obvious thing, right, We want cheaper stuff. Why
- 37:45Speaker 4: because our dollars don't buy so much anymore. So the
- 37:49Speaker 4: game is ruin the value of our dollar. Then we
- 37:56Speaker 4: must because so much of our lives have become inaffordable.
- 38:03Speaker 4: The Pew Research Center in Cato also does some great
- 38:06Speaker 4: reporting on what the average American dollar bought in two thousand,
- 38:13Speaker 4: nineteen seventy. Could you buy a car? Could you buy
- 38:19Speaker 4: a house? And you know, it's interesting, as we watch
- 38:28Speaker 4: lower and lower interest rates, fewer and fewer people can
- 38:31Speaker 4: afford houses. That doesn't seem to tract. That doesn't seem
- 38:34Speaker 4: logical does it. Fewer and fewer of us have enough
- 38:42Speaker 4: dollars scraped together to buy the things that we want
- 38:45Speaker 4: or need, so we go look for cheap alternatives. That's
- 38:49Speaker 4: why that's where China comes in, because their workforce doesn't
- 38:53Speaker 4: need to worry about housing or food or medicine because
- 38:56Speaker 4: they're going to get whatever the government doles out to them.
- 39:01Speaker 4: They've got their problems too. I'm not sitting here saying
- 39:03Speaker 4: it's nirvana for the worker in China, but we want
- 39:09Speaker 4: cheaper stuff. So if somebody can make the stuff cheaper
- 39:12Speaker 4: in China, we'll go for it because I'm just trying
- 39:16Speaker 4: to make ends meet here. Man. Fifteen cent toilet paper
- 39:20Speaker 4: works for me. So what we need to do is
- 39:25Speaker 4: bring up the value of our dollar. And as soon
- 39:30Speaker 4: as the President tried to claw back monies that had
- 39:34Speaker 4: gone overseas or gone into the pockets, look at this
- 39:38Speaker 4: fraud deal that Todd Blanche just announced billions of dollars
- 39:43Speaker 4: to and that's just four hundred and fifty five people.
- 39:46Speaker 4: Statistically speaking, given the adult population of the United States,
- 39:51Speaker 4: I will guarantee you there's at least one hundred more
- 39:54Speaker 4: operations that you could pull down with five hundred people
- 39:59Speaker 4: each all pulling off this kind of fraud, and then
- 40:04Speaker 4: do the calculations on it,
