  Speaker 3: That's the I'm just so compelled by Marco Rubio, the Secretary.
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: We're about to unleash Chang on him.

  Speaker 3: Let's see, it was like Quentin Tarantino was directing the
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: invasion of Iran.
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: Go get the imp.
• 1:01

• 1:25
  Speaker 3: leaders we mentioned going to Seapac, Reza Pelavia is going

  Speaker 3: to be there, one of the speakers. Maurice writes into
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: JT in the Morning Radio at gmail dot com. Please
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: let's not make the same mistake over again. I'm sure
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: he's a different guy after growing up in the United
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: States in deposed, but I think Iran needs to have
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: new leadership, not just going back to the old leadership. Well,
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: was it Massadae Massaga day was the prime minister? Does
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: he have any family? Can we go all the way
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: back to nineteen fifty four? So everyone's looking back to
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: the past, Tom Garrett, if you go to the podcast
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: channels Joe Thomas in the Morning dot com. But you
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: can subscribe to any of our podcasts like I like
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Spotify because it shows me chapters so I can jump
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: in and say, oh, Tom Garrett's talking about the future
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: in around your former member of the House Foreign Relations
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Committee and gave us some really good insight on you
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: know what comes next? There I still live and on
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: the hill of whatever it is comes next has to
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: come soon, otherwise we're we are teetering, as Bob was
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: concerned over another Southeast Asian situation, because it never goes well,
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: go through the history of mankind, go through the history
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: of man's occupations of other lands. And this applies in
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Russia and Ukraine as well. We can discuss a little bit.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Now is the time for me to lay out the
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: first things. Primaries in Texas yesterday the Senate primary James
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Tallerico easily defeating Jasmine Crockett fifty three to forty five percent.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: In the Republican race, it's not going to be decided
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: yet because neither could get to fifty percent of the vote.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: John Cornyn got forty two percent, Ken Paxton forty one percent,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: and so May twenty sixth will be the runoff there.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Dan Crenshaw lost his primary for the second Congressional district
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: to Congressman Steve Tath. Taut as a small business owner
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: with a background in construction, and received President Trump's endorsement.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: In the race.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tuesday that in the
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: coming days, US and Israel will unleash chang on these
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: people quote unquote. He went on to explain that the
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: phrase comes from the Bush administration bush I, in which
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: they referred to the sword of Changhai Seck. You're going
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: to really begin to perceive a change in the scope
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: and intensity of these attacks, as frankly, the two most
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: powerful air forces in the world take part this terroristic regime.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Military reports now out of the Pentagon they've destroyed seven
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Iranian ships, including a submarine, and struck nearly two thousand
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: targets in the country. Israeli military says it hit a
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: military missile storage and production facility near Isfahan overnight. UN
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: backed human rights body is calling for an immediate and
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: sustained ceasepire to protect the children, not so much for
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: the children that were killed while they protested. Israeli President
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Isaac Herzog is on the record now saying he doesn't
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: want to control Iran.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: He wants peace. It's not our.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Aim to come in and say to all other nations
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: were hegemonious. We say we want to live in peace,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: and well, you know under our palm tree, as the
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Bible says, And those are some of.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: Our first things.

  Speaker 3: as part of their ministry.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: It was Medishare that came through for us and there
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: was no hassles, there was no problem.
• 7:12

  Speaker 2: Considered by most Optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi'm
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: It makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: is a key component to our overall health. The Mayo
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent cancer
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where we

  Speaker 11: with animals. I'm not only in all of their beauty
• 10:06
  Speaker 11: and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look

• 10:20
  Speaker 11: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
• 10:23
  Speaker 11: in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
• 10:25
  Speaker 11: by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
• 10:29
  Speaker 11: a wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 10:32
  Speaker 11: they also perform life saving work every day.
• 10:34
  Speaker 9: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
• 10:36
  Speaker 11: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
• 10:39

• 10:42
  Speaker 11: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of

  Speaker 11: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those

• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Putting the radio on is the first thing today.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: Certain time we.
• 13:23
  Speaker 9: Look at me from mountain time.
• 13:27
  Speaker 18: We need a brand, a table, do the bit I
• 13:33
  Speaker 18: need to with the spear.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: For letting me be of service to you.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: So we tell you what went on last night, but
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: we also want to hear how it's impacting you where
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: you are at four three four eight eight two four
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: two one seven. That is the phone number to Terry
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: in Portland. Love your Neil Pert reference. I actually butchered
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: the line from Spirit of Radio. You'd think I'd know better,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: but I kind of jumbled it up, read it sideways.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: But he right.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Red flag laws are specifically designed to go after the
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: law abiding conservative, and that is their reason. Entirely evidence
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: the left could care less what criminals walk free watching
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: this all across the country. Legislation Oh we want the
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: felons and get you know, if we can't get the
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: illegals to vote, can we get the felons to vote?
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Just a headline Terry two days ago about the millions
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: of votes that are uncounted because felons can't cast them
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: and understand a felon and and we do this wrong?
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: I think again, to me, antonin scale, a conservative constitutionalist
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: views a felony as a crime that clearly shows your
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: disregard for other citizens' rights. And that's what you should
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: be convicted of if you're convicted of a felony, theft, murder, violence,
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: that kind of thing. So and most of our felonies, that's.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: What they are.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: They're the highest crime you can commit as a civilian.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: So you lose your right to vote for society because
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: you have exposed yourself as having a real bad attitude
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: towards it in the first place. Terry goes on to
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: right as rapist. Anyone that can vote for them can
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: walk free. Yet the law abiding conservative is subject to
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: red flag laws. That is why they need to be
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: struck down.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's and the fact that they don't make
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: anyone safer, but they do give the politician a chance
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: to walk off the stage before anyone calls them on it.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: New York Post Piece yesterday, as if they were listening
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: to us on fourteen ninety WGH and Greenwich. I think
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: it gets the post headquarters. I know a lot of
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: the writers for the post work and live in Connecticut.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Who will lead Iran next? Is the title, and it
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: brings up a subject we were talking about yesterday, which
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: is Natalie Rajavi. Our homeland continues to endure greater pain
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: and destruction under the rule of this religious fascism.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: She is the president of.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: The National Council of Resistance in Iran. You heard us
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: talking about her a little bit yesterday when Tom Garrett,
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: former member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said to
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: us where it's.
• 17:17
  Speaker 19: Likely to end up?
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 17:18
  Speaker 19: I mean I know a lot of people who know
• 17:20
  Speaker 19: a lot of things. I know a lot of things,
• 17:22
  Speaker 19: most of which I can talk about on the air.
• 17:25
  Speaker 19: I think the endgame is this I haven't understood with
• 17:28
  Speaker 19: Donald Trump yet, sort of the next step, whether it
• 17:34
  Speaker 19: be Venezuela or Iran. What we know he doesn't like
• 17:37
  Speaker 19: foreign wars, the drag on and on and on. I
• 17:39
  Speaker 19: think he's sort of an agreement with ninety five percent
• 17:41
  Speaker 19: of the US population. There, we went in and we
• 17:45
  Speaker 19: sort of did a decapitation striking Venezuela when we removed Adora,
• 17:49
  Speaker 19: but who emerges to replace him? And that has not
• 17:52
  Speaker 19: fully shaken itself out yet. In Iran, there's two primary
• 17:55
  Speaker 19: competing fashions. They're sort of exported. You've got the Heirs
• 18:01
  Speaker 19: to the Shaw, which is subjectionable to a lot of people,
• 18:04
  Speaker 19: and then got you've got very uh, I'm not even
• 18:10
  Speaker 19: I'm gonna get to day Miriam, who was with THEE
• 18:14
  Speaker 19: the National Council Resistance RON, which is a sort of
• 18:17
  Speaker 19: soft cell neo Marxist group. Now, having said that, I
• 18:20
  Speaker 19: did do a lot of advocacy on their behalf because
• 18:23
  Speaker 19: that's the single best organized Iranian global resistance entite.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: So what does he mean by that? The post article
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: goes on and you can hear the whole Tom Garrett interview.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: It's a three part harmony, three segments we did on
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: the future of what comes next at the podcast channel Spotify.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Just look if you're on there, Apple search First Thing
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Today by Joe Thomas, or just go to Joe Thomas
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: in the Morning. Dot com and you can pick the
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: distribution network of you like. So here's why in See
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: is the most organized they've been around since the nineteen
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: seventy nine Islamic Revolution presenting itself and it has organized
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: itself as a government in exile, which up until nineteen
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: seventy nine, Iotola Komane was saying he was now the
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: interesting the wild card in this is I'm reading that
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Iotola Komene, the original one, the one in the cartoons
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: in Back to the Future and everything else, the original Iatola.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Iatola Komene has a son and a grandson in the picture.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: His son is in prison in Iran for being a dissident.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: His grandson may or may not still be alive. He
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: was considered one of the shortlisters by the Council of Clerics,
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: which I have conflicting reports as to whether it went boom.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: Yesterday several people reporting to me that the clerical meeting
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: that was going to vote for the new Ayahtola went boom.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: First person to send me that story was Charles. Because
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: we were discussing the sort of arcade style of this
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: lineup of clerics that would be the next Ayatola. Somebody
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: decided they didn't want to just keep shooting at them
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: with their rifles, just dropped the moab on them. But
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: this government in exile has been living in and amongst Paris,
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: where honestly, in Paris they probably are seen as arch conservatives.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Tom says, their neo Marxists in some of their political standings.
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: But.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: Differentiate that from the French government. So do they step in.

  Speaker 4: So it's with that in mind.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: Mark Steber is on with us from Jackson Hewitt heading
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: into March now is real March madness tax season more
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: than it is anything to do with basketball.
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: I would tell you it's always March madness during tax
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: season for the early followers, these halftime followers, and especially
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: for those procrastina who wait till the last minute. So
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: it's a good thing to talk about and a good
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: thing to get off your checklist to do if you've
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: not intact already done your taxing.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: Joe unfortunately, and I tried to remind people of this
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: all through the year. You shouldn't be worried if you're
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: thinking about tax implications like, oh, I wish it's too late.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Now you know it's all done, but the crying and
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: I'm sure you see that on the other side of
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: your desk, so you know, really the time to be
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: thinking about tax implications of things that you're going to
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: do is in the middle of the year. Is is
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: it the beginning of the fiscal year, right.
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: Mark, Well, that's a good starter segment. I would simply
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: say now is also a good barometer for how did
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: you do last year? Yeah, if you didn't like to
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: refund or if you worst case balanced ode, there's no
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: better motivation to start planning on the current year than
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: your report card for last year, which is when you
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: file your taxes. You're absolutely right earlier. It gives you
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: a lot more a runway to do planning. Put money
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: in you for one K or HSA or whatever tax
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: vehicle you like. The lesser the less option you have.
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: And certainly if you miss that December thirty first deadline,
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: there's only a couple of things in higher A maybe,
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: but Earlier is better, always has been, always will be.
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: And if you think this year is your year.
• 30:19
  Speaker 10: Get after it.
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: It's March, like you say, time to get.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: Going is you know, I know a lot of people,
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: you know, they have their muscle memory of taxes in
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: the day and age of gig economy, and you know, oh,
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: I'm just a private I'm a contractor, I'm not an employee,
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: and more and more people doing that. Has that changed
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: the landscape for taxes and.
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: Mark it has? It has changed it tremendously. And it
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: really started with the pandemic when you had widespread layoffs
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: and people fired and all that and people will making
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: ends meet. So we saw a burst of self employment
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: and side hustle that has kept pace. There's thirty or
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: forty millillion people by many measures what people who have
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: either a part time or full time they enjoy it,
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: or they're making money or what have you. And those
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: people have a really complicated tax return and certainly different
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: than it was decades ago. There are more deductions, more elections,
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: more consequences, and frankly, a lot more money at risk
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: of doing it wrong or doing it incorrect and leaving
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: that benefit off your tax return because a lot of
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: people say, well, you know it's a hobby or it's
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: not that much, I just won't report it. Well, you
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: may be cutting your own benefits short by not putting
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: some of those deductions on there. So we're seeing that,
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: we're seeing it keep pace. We're seeing the complexity grow.
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: But complexity is almost the price tag for fairness. So
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: if you have side hustle income, you definitely need to
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: pay attention to your taxes because you've never had a
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: bigger investment on your activity or the complicated rules they
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: can make more money go to your pocket.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: So you know, especially when you start multiplying families and
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: incomes and that kind of thing. You know, husband's wives, spouses,
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: that that, and the thing always has been a boon.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: Is it something to be careful of?
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: Though?
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: In this gig economy, tax filing season mark not.
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: Only that, we're seeing more life changes than ever as
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: we have emerged from the pandemic. You know, people are moving,
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: they're changing jobs, they're doing not only one side hustle,
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: but multiple side hustles. We're seeing that now. So taxes
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: have always been complicated, not just because the rules are complicated,
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: but because life in America is complicated, and we're seeing
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: no slowing down of that. We're seeing more life changes
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: than tax changes, and more compounding, exponential, complicated life changes
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: than ever before. People with multiple jobs, complex family structured
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: which shares custodies, you know, and then like I say,
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: the movie States and new jobs in those states just
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: adds to the most dread of doing your taxes. But opportunity.
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: I would tell you to get more money back because
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: there's some really sweet deductions in there. If you know
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: where to watch for them, PRO gets them on there
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: correctly and you tell your pro you had.
• 33:03
  Speaker 17: This or that happened.
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: So you have to be involved. But life's not slowing down.
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: Taxes aren't slowing down, and the table stakes have never
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: been higher.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: Mark three Brizone with us from Jackson Hewitt is their
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: chief tax officer. And Mark again, you know this time
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: of year, breaking a couple of minutes off is very
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: cool and I appreciate it. Also, a lot of people
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: that you talk about side hustles and everything. One of
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: the things we're doing is we're making stuff. We're selling stuff.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: Etsy is huge. Yeah, those kind of things, people making
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: stuff and selling stuff. So even that adds another whole layer.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: Are you doing the sales tax your LLC? Are you,
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: you know, a pass through all these different things that
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: I almost I'm dangerous because I know the phrasing, I
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: don't know what they mean.
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: In a lot of cases, well.
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: Not only that, you've got people who have inventory plans,
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: you know, purchasing of cost of goods and sold, or
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: you're on a cash basis, or are you on the
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: cruel basis? And people often think, well, that's of the
• 34:05
  Speaker 6: big companies. When I get my S corp, when I
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: get my C corp, when I incorporate, That's simply not true.
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: The small self employed person can have those same issues.
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: And what those issues are in a lot of cases
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: are not just don't get audited or don't get an IRS. Notice,
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: you do it right and you save more money because
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: you make the smart election, you make the smart choice,
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: the smart DEDUCTI will extend. And so what I see
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: are a lot more people airing on the side of well,
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: you know, I don't want to make a mistake with
• 34:33
  Speaker 6: the IRS. But what they're really doing shortcutting the election
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: or the deduction or the benefit that they could take.
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: They could have lower income, lower taxes and keep more
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: money to help grow their business. So if you've got
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: a side hustle, whether you're making something or manufacturing or assembling,
• 34:48
  Speaker 6: or producing or just being a cross seller, you really
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: have a lot to watch. And a tax pro can
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: do two things. One they can help make the stress
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: less because you're not in that business. But two, and
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: more importantly, they should pay for themselves, both by tax
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: tips and guidance on how to stay organized on considerations
• 35:06
  Speaker 6: as it relates to lowering your taxes, and then even
• 35:08
  Speaker 6: more importantly, helping you be a thought leader on things
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: going forward as you start your next business, or you
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: expand your business or what have you. A tax pro
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: is an essentral part of your portfolio. It's never been
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: more important than now.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: So what could people do to I imagine filing now,
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: you know, or at least preparing your taxes now to
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: find out if there are things you need to address
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: before April fifteenth rolls around.
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: Oh absolutely, I find the worst mistake you make As
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: you think, well, I've got it pretty well organized. I'll
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: wait till that last week, and then up pops a
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: question on your home office deduction or some contribution to
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: an employee benefit plan or your retirement plan, and then
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: you're scrambling to get that information to lower your taxes
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: and increase your refund when you really had three months
• 35:54
  Speaker 6: to get it done, and you really still have a
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: good amount of time right now. But times are very
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: valuable set both of your side hustle or your business
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: or yourself, and you don't want to squander that. So
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: one of these cold weekends, you know, that's a good
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: time to start focusing. Get that document list ready. Hope
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: is not a strategy on getting things done. I find
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: find that tax professional that's convenient, that's branded, that's not
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: a pop up, not a bad people creep in right now,
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: and get your plan ready. You know it's a really
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: important decision, but most importantly it can make you more money,
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: like doing it smart by saving your taxes rather than
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: waiting til last minute with DRID and then having the
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: you know, shortcuts and stuff and then missing out.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: And Mark stever on with us. I'm glad you brought
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: the less than scrupulous amongst us. You mentioned side hustles
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: and it kind of comes into that realm. Hey, i'll
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: do your taxes for you, give me fifty bucks, and
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: you want to get.
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: A refund I know a secret. Ye, I've got a
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: friend that abyz. You know all those things are trigger
• 36:54
  Speaker 6: words for watch out.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Well, I appreciate it. Where do people go to find
• 36:58

• 44:48
  Speaker 4: Fun and frolic.
• 44:51
  Speaker 19: Uh.
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: Jane writes in to JT in the Morning Radio at
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: gmail dot com suggestion for Iran, now's the time to
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: arm the women tell yes on the subject of armed
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: because we were talking about red flag laws and the
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: question was asked. One of the have been great.
• 45:14
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: The only red flag law somebody would trust is the
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: one is one that maybe our founding fathers had written
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: and I entered into the public record.
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: The thirteenth Amendment.
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: It's not even an amendment, it's the thirteenth provision in
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: the first chapter of Virginia's constitutions, the Virginia we put
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: the Bill of Rights up front. It is Article one,
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: Section one of the Virginia Constitution is what you would
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: call your bill of rights. And the thirteenth one is
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: the one that says trained militia.
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: And I know a lot of the gun grabbers are, like.
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: Ah said, it justfers that you have to be trained.
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: A trained gun owner understands the awesome power and all
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: the thing. And I'm not saying it's a perfect story.
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: But Charles writes in Founding Father's Red Flag Law, our
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: founding fathers did give us a red flag law. Quote
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: if anyone tries to take away your right to keep
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: in bare arms. That's a big red flag. Absolutely absolutely,
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: and we've seen it over and over and over again,
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: time and time again. A couple of suggestions. We're going
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: to be stopping and broadcasting from Chattanooga, Tennessee, simply because
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: it's about midpoint between here and Dallas. Charisse writes in Joe,
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: Nashville is halfway between here in Texas Dallas by as
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: a mile by mile. Yeah, I can say that Nashville
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: as that as that particular crow Flies is more along
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: that lines. But it's really the matter of a half
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: an hour difference drive. And you know, if we were
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: going to do the midway point, the only other choice
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: would be Memphis, and that's that's a little bit more
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: than halfway. I'm just you know, we're splitting babies here.
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: But I just thought, you know, I've never seen Chattanooga.
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: We've seen we've broadcasted from Memphis before. Andy says the
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: Coke Bottling company suggestion.
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: Then this one, what is this?
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: This is the sugars ribs. Kareem mentioned that so so
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: far we have sweet soda, which my wife and I
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: don't drink, and barbecue which my wife and I it's
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: not that we don't like barbecue. We're vegetarians. Well probably,
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: you know, if they made what are they what does
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: it called?
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: Jackfruit? You don't know, jackfruit? I don't know.
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: We'll see that they don't appear to be open before
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: eleven am, which is a crimp on the lifestyle there.
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: But we'll figure something out. In Chattanooga, Todd might call
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: on say no, please come to Memphis. Isn't that a song?
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: Please come to Memphis in the springtime. As we head
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: to that, Jerry writes, and why in the name of
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: all that is holy are you driving to Dallas from Virginia. Well,
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: for several reasons, and there's a logic stream in here.
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: Number One, I can work while my wife drives, so
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: I get the same amount of work done. As a
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: matter of fact, I get more work done if my
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: wife drives me somewhere. Then if we get onto a
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: plane and then we're in airplane mode, and then we're
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: in TSA and da da da da da da da
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: da da da. You know, flying to me is a
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: lost day. Flights to Dallas from Virginia generally leave during
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: the show, like six point thirty in the morning or
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: late late late at night and then I miss you know,
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: so we we don't land until the next morning. So
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: it's actually more affordable. It's a better value for our sponsors.
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: As we work on collecting some emails JT in the
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: Morning Radio at gmail dot com. Closers get coffee, right,
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: but you know, to be a better value to our sponsors.
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: And as such, we're going to drive, and that way
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: we don't miss a show. We were going to miss
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: at least one program in between because just we'd be
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: flying and in the air and everything else. So you
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: drive halfway, you get to I don't know. We may
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: go to Memphis, may go to Chattanooga. I'm just curious
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: to see Chattanooga. And our friends there at WGOW have
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: us on in the mornings WG O W A M.
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: This one from Mike who says, why don't you just
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: broadcast from their studios. Their studios are not exactly on
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: the beaten path. There's a couple of interstates that go
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: right past Chattanooga to the south, and you know, we could.
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: I don't want to go too far off of there.
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: Because you know, haste and waste, et cetera, et cetera.
• 50:22
  Speaker 4: Uh there.
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: So I appreciate some of the tips. I like this
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: one about the Civil War battlefield up on Signal Mountain. Again,
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: that's you know, out of the way. However, it's it's
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: you turn right and you got to go up. I
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: was looking at it on the map. It's past where
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: the radio station is down there.
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: But we'll find it.
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: We'll find a cool place to be in Chattanooga, and
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: we'll keep working it out. And yes, yes, why don't
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: you ask the radio station.
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I will.
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: I don't want to make it a promotional thing. We're
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: just you know, blowing in and blowing out. They So
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: I appreciate your concern about us driving to Chattanooga, but
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: it is considerable. I think it's about a third of
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: the cost. And this is what you do all the time.
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: And I tell my kids this economically speaking, and there's
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: nothing new coming out of Iran. They haven't unleashed the
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: chang yet or what it's the sword of Jangai jack
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: that you can pay in time or you can pay
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: in money. And because I actually lose more productivity traveling
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: by air and my wife loves to drive by the way,
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: that's the other side of it. It's not like she's
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: being put out. She loves driving and she loves seeing
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: new places. We have an entire refrigerator filled with refrigerator
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: magnets from places we've visited that she's never been before,
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: so she loves that part of it. And then we'll
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: do some great work from Seapack sponsorship. It's available, and
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: you know, we'll bring you all the courage. Yeah, I mean,
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: we're going to try to get Rezipalavi.
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: On the program.
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: Talked to him about Iran and what's going on there,
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: and the developments will continue. They're not going quietly into
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: the good night in Tehran. I'm sorry anyone who thought,
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: you know, the Iranian Guard would just be handing over.
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of people think about this when when
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: your favorite Republican loses a race. Are there people in
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: Texas's second congressional district that are going to not vote
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: for the guy who beat Dan Crenshaw. Some people have
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: their careers built.
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: Off of the guy in office.
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: Anyway, I'm Joe Thomas still tomorrow, so long and thanks
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: for all the fish.
