FTTxJT 061826 "Groucho Marxists" · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:12
Speaker 1: Amaze your friends here in the first thing today by
0:16
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas.
0:21
Speaker 2: That's awkward silence, it really is. You know, it hasn't
0:25
Speaker 2: been the same since that update. When when's the next
0:28
Speaker 2: time you're going to fix it?
0:29
Speaker 3: I thought my Razor was gone until I heard his speech,
0:32
Speaker 3: and that reminds me of a story that's so daddy.
0:33
Speaker 3: I'm ashamed to think of it myself. I don't know
0:38
Speaker 3: what they have to say. It makes no difference in
0:40
Speaker 3: any way. Whatever it is, I'm against it. What about
0:45
Speaker 3: it is, or who commenced it, I'm against it.
0:48
Speaker 2: You know, there used to be a wonderful sign back
0:50
Speaker 2: in the styleized days of Barack Obama campaign posters, and
0:54
Speaker 2: you know that there were people who were making ones,
0:58
Speaker 2: you know, Karl Marx and that kind of thing. There
1:01
Speaker 2: was one of groud show and it was said, I'm
1:03
Speaker 2: a Marxist, and I used to appreciate that. But in
1:08
Speaker 2: this particular instance, I think the world is being inundated
1:12
Speaker 2: by Marxist, that kind of Marxist. No matter what it is,
1:20
Speaker 2: I'm against it. If America does it, I'm against it.
1:24
Speaker 2: This is the fruit and we've talked about this in
1:27
Speaker 2: the past. You don't need everyone to agree with you anymore.
1:30
Speaker 2: You just need enough people on social media to make
1:34
Speaker 2: it appear like this is a movement, and I need
1:38
Speaker 2: to be part of the movement, like you're some piece
1:41
Speaker 2: of half digested corn, and defining yourself by what you're
1:49
Speaker 2: against is easy and understandable. There are plenty of things
1:54
Speaker 2: in the world for us to be against. Right in
1:59
Speaker 2: the milieu of this deal with Iran, I see all
2:05
Speaker 2: the beginnings of another Abraham Accords, only in this case
2:09
Speaker 2: with an ardent regime hell bent on paying people to
2:13
Speaker 2: go blow up Americans. Well, that's not going to be
2:16
Speaker 2: so good anymore if they're part of the party. This
2:21
Speaker 2: is the whole point. This is trying to avoid more
2:26
Speaker 2: issues like we started. And I understand President Trump has
2:29
Speaker 2: seen the intel. President Trump knows what went on when
2:33
Speaker 2: the Shah was installed. And I know Ray asked me
2:44
Speaker 2: once we were talking about the CIA MI six operation
2:48
Speaker 2: to change out the communist sympathizing but yet publicly elected
2:57
Speaker 2: Prime Minister of Iran. And my point at the time,
3:04
Speaker 2: if I'm paraphrasing her again, memory, don't tell my friends
3:08
Speaker 2: that the learning are act sometimes. But I believe, I
3:12
Speaker 2: said in response to Rai's email about it that I
3:16
Speaker 2: would prefer a communist to a radical Islamist. Communists, especially
3:26
Speaker 2: the Fabian ones, they go into your schools, and yes,
3:31
Speaker 2: there is a flashpoint moment where we sat mutely by
3:37
Speaker 2: as the Marxist took over our society. At least with
3:44
Speaker 2: a terrorist, you can see him driving up in a
3:46
Speaker 2: van full of explosives. So I guess there is an
3:52
Speaker 2: argument to be made that because they deal in immediate
3:58
Speaker 2: and explosive metaphorically and kinetically activities, maybe an Islamist, a
4:05
Speaker 2: radical Islamist, is better than a Marxist, a communist, But
4:12
Speaker 2: a communist you can drag their ideology out into the
4:15
Speaker 2: street and show it to everybody and they realize, oh
4:18
Speaker 2: my god, that's horrible. Islamists, I mean that you raised
4:24
Speaker 2: from two years old and they go to Madrasa's and
4:27
Speaker 2: they can't speak any other language except terrorists, and they're
4:32
Speaker 2: just born killing machines. We were talking earlier with Tim Carney,
4:39
Speaker 2: the author of the book Family Unfriendly, just out about
4:44
Speaker 2: how American culture has been working against the idea of
4:49
Speaker 2: families for some time now, not so much in the
4:54
Speaker 2: radical Islamic world. Have kids strap bombs in them. So
5:04
Speaker 2: the Marxists of today are people who just don't like
5:08
Speaker 2: anything Trump did. If Trump goes and bombards Iran, that's horrible.
5:13
Speaker 2: Trump stops bombarding around, that's horrible. Mark Warner is a
5:17
Speaker 2: great example of a Marxist. Well, he didn't ask our
5:21
Speaker 2: permission to stop. Hold it. You were just saying he
5:25
Speaker 2: didn't ask your permission to start? Which is it? And
5:32
Speaker 2: they hope that nobody calls them out for it. First
5:36
Speaker 2: they said he shouldn't do it, and then when he
5:38
Speaker 2: stopped doing it, they're like, hold it, you didn't ask
5:40
Speaker 2: our permission to stop doing it. And the Senate's going
5:46
Speaker 2: to have to have a role to play in this,
5:48
Speaker 2: and I think the President would like to have it
5:50
Speaker 2: in the hands of John Thune rather than Chuck Schumer.
5:55
Speaker 2: When the dust settles, if the dust settles in the
5:58
Speaker 2: wrong way. Now, we did a piece some time ago
6:03
Speaker 2: about how long it would take for the raw crude
6:08
Speaker 2: oil prices to start coming back down. The straight you know,
6:14
Speaker 2: is being the blockade. The American blockade is standing down,
6:20
Speaker 2: and Iranians are going to help ships through the mine
6:26
Speaker 2: fields because they know where the mines are using mine sweepers.
6:30
Speaker 2: And that kind of thing, just to make sure that
6:33
Speaker 2: these ships don't come across any of the Iranian mines
6:39
Speaker 2: while leading the operations to remove them under American authority.
6:45
Speaker 2: There's a lot to be pleased within this memorandum of understanding,
6:49
Speaker 2: and it seems to be heading us into a direction
6:52
Speaker 2: where Iran, like Egypt, how many of these countries had
6:58
Speaker 2: beefs with Israel area Lebanon, and I'm gonna say Lebanon
7:06
Speaker 2: has been working with the Israelis trying to get rid
7:08
Speaker 2: of Hezbola. The Lebanese government has actually been working with
7:13
Speaker 2: the Israelis trying to get rid of Hezbolah. But you know,
7:17
Speaker 2: one of the things I've noticed in all of this,
7:23
Speaker 2: nobody's talking about Hamas and Hezbola being marginalized communities anymore.
7:31
Speaker 2: I mean, the anti Semitism online has taken a whole new,
7:34
Speaker 2: much brasher format. Now now everyone else besides the Jewish
7:39
Speaker 2: community are the marginalized communities. And what's frightening when you
7:44
Speaker 2: when you listen to where you read some of the
7:46
Speaker 2: stuff that this little gang of you know, the Lord
7:52
Speaker 2: of the Flies group that was trying to do some
7:56
Speaker 2: ruckus around the UFC fight. You realize these these are
8:03
Speaker 2: the same people. These are the same youth that Hitler
8:08
Speaker 2: indoctrinated into believing that because the shop owner was Jewish,
8:16
Speaker 2: that the plumber was Jewish, that the diamond dealer was Jewish,
8:22
Speaker 2: that they were the reason their parents were poor. And
8:29
Speaker 2: I think back to as I watch these guys and
8:32
Speaker 2: I read the stuff they were talking about. I think
8:35
Speaker 2: back to the guy who shot up the Charleston, South
8:38
Speaker 2: Carolina church and all the things his pappy taught him
8:41
Speaker 2: about quotas and why pappy was unemployed whatever it was
8:47
Speaker 2: he was supposed to be.
8:52
Speaker 4: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
8:54
Speaker 4: compression of spinal nerves. According to doctor Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
8:58
Speaker 4: California based chiropractic with more than thirty years of experience,
9:02
Speaker 4: this compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury,
9:05
Speaker 4: or simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
9:10
Speaker 4: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
9:13
Speaker 4: the neck and back. Doctor Fisher explains his inventions, the
9:17
Speaker 4: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device
9:21
Speaker 4: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
9:25
Speaker 4: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are
9:28
Speaker 4: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
9:31
Speaker 4: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
9:34
Speaker 4: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
9:36
Speaker 4: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home,
9:39
Speaker 4: and Doctor Fisher's series of YouTube videos provides helpful videos
9:43
Speaker 4: and detailed instructions. For more information, visit Fishertraction dot com.

Speaker 5: Radio.
9:49
Speaker 2: It's on.
10:03
Speaker 1: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
10:07
Speaker 1: the second most famous Thomas and Charlotte's.
10:19
Speaker 2: Vince Vance. Missed your chance, all right? So, uh, the
10:29
Speaker 2: deal is signed, the memorandum of understanding, and here is
10:34
Speaker 2: the beginnings of our conversation on it. And I know
10:37
Speaker 2: you're going to want to that's I'm not going to
10:40
Speaker 2: sit here and say, no, we're not talking about this ridiculous.
10:48
Speaker 2: We're gonna compare two international conflicts with one another at
10:55
Speaker 2: their culminations, and you tell me, and I understand that
11:01
Speaker 2: history doesn't repeat itself, but at rhymes at the end
11:10
Speaker 2: of World War One, which at the time was just
11:14
Speaker 2: the World War, Britain and France understandably having been in
11:22
Speaker 2: some of the most intractable, bloody, chemical weapons dispersing conflict
11:31
Speaker 2: known to man. For everyone who looks at the US
11:36
Speaker 2: Civil War as a meat grinder and a blood bath,
11:42
Speaker 2: we didn't start using chemical weapons until World War One,
11:47
Speaker 2: and mostly because nobody was moving and people finally got
11:51
Speaker 2: desperate and said, what if we spray mustard gas on
11:55
Speaker 2: them and just kill them where they stand and we
11:57
Speaker 2: don't have to get our hands dirty. So at the
12:02
Speaker 2: end of the war, as German forces had fallen, Britain
12:08
Speaker 2: in France understandably wanted to do what Britain and France
12:12
Speaker 2: had done for centuries, which is occupy the vanquished opponent.
12:20
Speaker 2: Woodrow Wilson and the Americans said, maybe we shouldn't do that.
12:29
Speaker 2: Maybe that's been part of the problem in the compromise.
12:36
Speaker 2: What Woodrow Wilson allowed them to do was devastate Germany economically,
12:44
Speaker 2: enacting all sorts of draconian measures that gave birth at
12:50
Speaker 2: that moment in Versailles to World War Two. Not just
12:56
Speaker 2: because Hitler was a corporal in the war and felt
12:59
Speaker 2: like Germany had failed him and that Britain and France
13:04
Speaker 2: were punishing him, and the only people that seemed happy
13:07
Speaker 2: about it were the Jews. All of those are true,
13:13
Speaker 2: But the Nationalist Socialist Party of Germany could not have
13:17
Speaker 2: gained a foothold, which, by the way, quick reminder, the
13:22
Speaker 2: Nationalist Socialist Party of Germany existed during World War One.
13:31
Speaker 2: Think checking my calendar in my head, and I'm tempted
13:36
Speaker 2: to say it actually existed before World War One. Hitler
13:42
Speaker 2: joined it. They liked how he commanded an audience, and
13:51
Speaker 2: they gave him the keys to the candy shop. In
13:55
Speaker 2: many ways, the Nationalist Socialist Party of Germany, which by
13:58
Speaker 2: the way, also still exists, became Hitler's party because of
14:11
Speaker 2: his ability to vile a crowd, and they said, Wow,
14:14
Speaker 2: this guy can draw a crowd, and we like that
14:19
Speaker 2: so and that's going to help us win elections. But
14:24
Speaker 2: the seeds were sown in inflation that was never mind
14:28
Speaker 2: two percent. I saw that the FED was saying, yeah,
14:32
Speaker 2: I think we're going to try to manage it at
14:34
Speaker 2: two percent. We're talking about one hundred and fifty percent inflation.
14:37
Speaker 2: The Weimar Republic, the collapse of the German economy. People
14:43
Speaker 2: were rushing out at lunchtime to buy groceries because they
14:46
Speaker 2: know the prices would be fifty percent higher by the
14:50
Speaker 2: time they got done with work, if they had work.
14:56
Speaker 2: These were the festering soils that the fascism that came
15:04
Speaker 2: out of World War Two were born in. Then, at
15:09
Speaker 2: the end of World War two, while the Marshall Planet,
15:18
Speaker 2: there's a terrific World War two economics professor at George
15:23
Speaker 2: Mason University, you should look up Tom Rustici r us
15:28
Speaker 2: T I c I. You should look up Tom Rastisi.
15:32
Speaker 2: We should probably get him. It's too soon. He's one
15:34
Speaker 2: of the He's very judicious in his thoughts. He's very deliberative.
15:41
Speaker 2: So I don't know if we can get him on
15:42
Speaker 2: to start, you know, saying so, which is this? Is
15:45
Speaker 2: this closer to Versailles or But at the end of
15:52
Speaker 2: World War Two, the attempt was to say, how about
15:55
Speaker 2: we try to do something a different way, much in
15:58
Speaker 2: the same way Wilson tried to, which was get Germany
16:04
Speaker 2: to not be isolated but be part of it. Of course,
16:07
Speaker 2: what we didn't count on was our allies in Moscow
16:11
Speaker 2: saying paha, you really just helped us invade a whole
16:14
Speaker 2: bunch of countries. Thanks, thanks for playing. No, we're not leaving.
16:20
Speaker 2: What do you mean, why are we bringing all these
16:22
Speaker 2: rocks here, we're building a wall, and they built a wall.
16:28
Speaker 2: So you know, Russia was an unforeseen Some would say
16:33
Speaker 2: we should have foreseen it. But the idea, though, was
16:37
Speaker 2: you rebuild Europe, rebuild Germany, get Germany involved in the
16:43
Speaker 2: world community. And we've had this conversation before, who are
16:48
Speaker 2: some of our biggest allies in the world right now?
16:50
Speaker 2: Fred Mertz from Germany just gave the President of the
16:54
Speaker 2: United States a soccer jersey with his name in number
16:57
Speaker 2: forty seven on it. Do you think Adolf Hitler was
17:01
Speaker 2: going to do that to Franklin Roosevelt. I don't think so.
17:11
Speaker 2: Our biggest wars here in the United States have been
17:14
Speaker 2: fought against Great Britain, Germany, Germany again, Russia, and the
17:22
Speaker 2: Islamists promoted by the Iran Oh and let's not forget Japan.
17:28
Speaker 2: And our biggest allies now are Germany, Britain, Japan. And
17:35
Speaker 2: the hope here in this fourteen point plan, this memorandum
17:39
Speaker 2: of understanding, is that at some point in the not
17:42
Speaker 2: too distant future, we'll be sitting there adding Iran to
17:46
Speaker 2: the list of countries. Because there is no permanent Abraham
17:52
Speaker 2: Accords kind of change in this volatile area, this area
17:59
Speaker 2: where humanity itself was born. And I don't want to
18:02
Speaker 2: overblow it, because Lord knows you got enough of that
18:05
Speaker 2: in talk radio. But we're talking about an area Iraq
18:08
Speaker 2: and the Tigris Euphrates River, and this is the birthplace
18:12
Speaker 2: of humanity and the human civilization is born here. Jerusalem
18:19
Speaker 2: itself as a city is the home to all three
18:23
Speaker 2: of the major religions. Why because it was the New
18:27
Speaker 2: York of its day. The Romans wanted Jerusalem. So there
18:38
Speaker 2: was never going to be a permanent Abraham Accords if
18:40
Speaker 2: you couldn't get Iran off the sidelines. And I think
18:44
Speaker 2: this deal and whether the bombardment was you know that
18:49
Speaker 2: kind of aqua velva bracing.
18:53
Speaker 6: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
18:58
Speaker 6: actually three known gas is hi, I'm doctor Mitch, and
19:02
Speaker 6: nitric oxide is a gas that's readily made all day
19:07
Speaker 6: long to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood
19:11
Speaker 6: vessel walls. By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood,
19:17
Speaker 6: oxygen and nutrients to every part of your body. Both
19:22
Speaker 6: age and poor diet can lead to a loss of
19:25
Speaker 6: this precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go
19:29
Speaker 6: up energy can go down and you can get tingling
19:32
Speaker 6: in your hands and feet.
19:33
Speaker 1: Well.
19:34
Speaker 6: Our product Ultimate nitric Oxide, can easily help fix this
19:39
Speaker 6: lack of nitric oxide. Go to total Wellness dot com.

20:01
Speaker 1: Quick for you. From Joe Thomas. It's first thing today.
20:06
Speaker 7: Of everybody, oh's a lot of the spiles to the
20:11
Speaker 7: happy bound by hebut down, he had bunged on and
20:17
Speaker 7: four of the guys who kept time with our clipmen hands.
20:22
Speaker 7: We called it mister Joe Henrys Happy and flappin open
20:27
Speaker 7: a rhythm.
20:29
Speaker 2: Bands celebrating Pride month all month long. A four three
20:34
Speaker 2: four eight eight two four to two one seven. That
20:38
Speaker 2: is our phone number. Emails come into JT in the
20:41
Speaker 2: morning radio at gmail dot com and text messages as well,
20:47
Speaker 2: because I know how crazy the mornings are. A couple
20:51
Speaker 2: of last thoughts and we'll get to folks hanging on
20:54
Speaker 2: the phone about the deal, the memorandum of understanding and
20:58
Speaker 2: settling the hostilities that started February twenty eighth, the kinetic hostilities,
21:07
Speaker 2: and many people go back to the overthrow of the
21:11
Speaker 2: Shah I go back further than that, because radical Islam
21:16
Speaker 2: has been attacking America since the founding of America, and
21:25
Speaker 2: we have to as citizens of the world and hoping
21:31
Speaker 2: aspirationally that America's example of an open society where people
21:39
Speaker 2: can worship as they see fit as long as it
21:43
Speaker 2: doesn't impede somebody else's right to worship as they see fit,
21:48
Speaker 2: is a land born on that word. There we hold
21:52
Speaker 2: these truths to be self evident, that all men are
21:55
Speaker 2: created equal, and that they are endowed by their creator
22:00
Speaker 2: with certain unalienable rights. Meaning, if you believe something somebody
22:05
Speaker 2: else does, you don't have a right to enforce your
22:08
Speaker 2: dogma on their life period. You just don't. And that
22:17
Speaker 2: has to be the core of a global push to Americanism.
22:23
Speaker 2: And if you want to talk long game, that's what
22:27
Speaker 2: I see. More of what President Trump has been trying
22:29
Speaker 2: to do is to get countries to interact with one another.
22:33
Speaker 2: The more they interact with one another, like with the
22:37
Speaker 2: Abraham Accords, the more like us they become because you
22:43
Speaker 2: realize that you can hold your beliefs and still interact
22:49
Speaker 2: with people who don't. And this becomes and maybe one
22:56
Speaker 2: hundred years, maybe two hundred years from now, we're talking
22:59
Speaker 2: about the Trumpet era as that era when Americanism pushed
23:05
Speaker 2: its way back out into the world and we stopped
23:08
Speaker 2: hand ringing over the fact that we don't. And it's
23:16
Speaker 2: interesting because if you listen to the globalists and the
23:18
Speaker 2: World Economic Forum types, they'll be the first ones to
23:22
Speaker 2: go out there and say Trump's a fascist. Trump's not
23:25
Speaker 2: the one trying to tell you how to live. He's
23:27
Speaker 2: just saying, listen, here's how the world needs to work
23:31
Speaker 2: under a live and let live kind of banner. It's
23:34
Speaker 2: always been his pragmatism anyway, and it is uniquely American.
23:44
Speaker 2: But if you look at the changes that have happened
23:46
Speaker 2: in the Middle East, and I said this to the
23:48
Speaker 2: Todd Starns Show on Newsmax yesterday, if you look at
23:51
Speaker 2: the changes to the Arab world just since twenty seventeen
23:59
Speaker 2: through the Abraham Accords and some of the coalitions, but
24:02
Speaker 2: some of it goes back to even Bush one, certainly
24:06
Speaker 2: Bush two, and no offense to the young fellow who
24:12
Speaker 2: just got a big portrait painted to hang in the
24:15
Speaker 2: lobby of his soon to be open presidential library and
24:19
Speaker 2: chicken stand. But you know, if they ever pay the contractors.
24:26
Speaker 2: There is some irony to the Obama Presidential Library renegging
24:30
Speaker 2: on paying lots of people. Maybe we should ask the
24:36
Speaker 2: Iranians for some of the money they send to Iran
24:39
Speaker 2: to pay the contractors on the Obama Library. But at
24:45
Speaker 2: the end of the all of this people interacting, And
24:50
Speaker 2: I've talked about this in the past, the abstracts of
24:52
Speaker 2: stoning for working under the faiths versus you know, societal rule,
25:00
Speaker 2: old Testament stuff, catechisms from papal leadership through the centuries
25:08
Speaker 2: that the United States has existed, understanding that while your
25:13
Speaker 2: text may say, you know, stoning somebody for working on
25:16
Speaker 2: the Sabbath is okay, not in this country. And the
25:23
Speaker 2: Islamic faith has the Muslim faith has to adhere to
25:28
Speaker 2: those same guidelines in order to be considered part of
25:33
Speaker 2: a free world, not a war torn country or world
25:43
Speaker 2: full of jihad after jihad after jihad. There my piece,
25:48
Speaker 2: as I said, I'll give you my analysis. I want
25:50
Speaker 2: to hear how it's impacting you, Kareem, thank you for
25:53
Speaker 2: hanging on the phone. How are the news items of
25:56
Speaker 2: the day impacting you today?
25:59
Speaker 5: Go on, I'm not holding my breath for fuel prices
26:04
Speaker 5: to get down so impacting me today.
26:05
Speaker 2: That's that's my main concern. Well, sure, the moment.
26:09
Speaker 5: Yeah, But Joe, I do you know many days I
26:13
Speaker 5: agree with you? Honestly, I don't know a day I
26:15
Speaker 5: don't agree with you. So I agree with you that
26:17
Speaker 5: it's good that Iran comes back into the world economic market.
26:21
Speaker 5: Some things I disagree with, but I'm just gonna I
26:24
Speaker 5: just want to.
26:25
Speaker 2: Limit like I actually like those more than somebody is saying. Hey,
26:29
Speaker 2: everything you said ditto. You know, what are some of
26:32
Speaker 2: the things you disagree I know that you you disagree
26:35
Speaker 2: with my comparison of the modern uh Islamism to the
26:41
Speaker 2: ancient Islamism of two hundred and forty years ago, But
26:46
Speaker 2: it was all based on the same idea, our Bible,
26:49
Speaker 2: our Quran tells us we can do this to you
26:52
Speaker 2: because you're the infidel, you know. So the names have changed,
26:57
Speaker 2: the home base has changed, but I think the the
27:01
Speaker 2: attitude is still very similar in the not radical but
27:07
Speaker 2: let's call that conservative Islamic centers.
27:14
Speaker 5: I do hear your point, and I can look at
27:18
Speaker 5: even the actions of today of Islamist islam extremists, moderate conservatives, liberals.
27:26
Speaker 5: I look and I can see where culture has influenced
27:28
Speaker 5: with the main disagreement I have is I'm not so
27:31
Speaker 5: big a fan of spreading Americanism around the world. I
27:35
Speaker 5: like our country with our borders as they are. We
27:38
Speaker 5: may add a fifty first state later on we in
27:42
Speaker 5: the case, but for the immediate thing, as far as
27:45
Speaker 5: the fourteen points of Iran and Memorium understanding right now,
27:52
Speaker 5: for the next sixty days, no tolls in that in
27:57
Speaker 5: that areas, you know, through Straight and Hormos. Iran's going
28:00
Speaker 5: to clear the mines and then and then all those
28:04
Speaker 5: ships at the last I heard about fifteen hundred they're
28:07
Speaker 5: going to be going out. I know, I'll try to
28:10
Speaker 5: do this quick, so I so you can make it
28:12
Speaker 5: to the break and well, all those boats have been
28:16
Speaker 5: sitting for essentially months. The insurance companies until those mines
28:21
Speaker 5: are cleared typically say don't move until the mines get cleared,
28:24
Speaker 5: and then once there's a safe passage, then go that
28:27
Speaker 5: go that route. However, the Ruanian ships aren't, They're like
28:31
Speaker 5: Russia's shadow fleet. Typically, a shadow fleet for Russia means
28:34
Speaker 5: that they're not insured through London or through the UK,
28:38
Speaker 5: so they have to get insurance elsewhere. Iran has been
28:41
Speaker 5: under sanctions for decades, so they don't they aren't insured
28:43
Speaker 5: by any insurance company. They're ensured a byt the people
28:45
Speaker 5: of Iran. And so they're moving freely already. They've been
28:49
Speaker 5: moving free they move through already. So all that Iranian
28:52
Speaker 5: oil is going out, all but those fifteen hundred ships
28:55
Speaker 5: of those that are not Iranian, that oil is gonna again.
29:00
Speaker 5: I turned a lot of information out there. The barnacles
29:02
Speaker 5: that have built up on those ships will take time.
29:04
Speaker 5: They're going to slow down the passage. And honestly, with
29:07
Speaker 5: some of these older ships, you don't know if once
29:09
Speaker 5: they finally get out into sea, are they going to
29:12
Speaker 5: are they going to sink or But anyway, if they
29:15
Speaker 5: do move, they're not going to move anytime soon. It's
29:17
Speaker 5: going to be well for the oil gets to port,
29:19
Speaker 5: for the oil gets on the ships. So even though
29:21
Speaker 5: it's sixty days, it's only mostly Iranian ships until I'm sorry,
29:26
Speaker 5: let me throw a little caveat in there. The US
29:29
Speaker 5: military and testifying for Congress, has said if they were
29:32
Speaker 5: to clear the mines, it would take up to six months.
29:36
Speaker 5: Now that's that's a figure that there's a window, right,
29:39
Speaker 5: But those are racing because we are hard up on
29:41
Speaker 5: the break here and you might want to hang on,
29:44
Speaker 5: but the fact is Iran at least knows where the
29:47
Speaker 5: mines are.
29:50
Speaker 6: In a study, it was found that thirty three percent
29:52
Speaker 6: of forty four herbal supplements had no trace of the
29:56
Speaker 6: advertised herb. Don't let that happen to you, Hi, this

30:30
Speaker 1: Talk Radio Just the way your mother used to make
30:33
Speaker 1: his first thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk
30:36
Speaker 1: Media Network.
30:39
Speaker 6: All across America Talk Radio and the voices of freedom.
30:44
Speaker 7: Don't stop talking, don't stop sharing, don't stop laughing, don't
30:50
Speaker 7: stop caring.
30:51
Speaker 2: Karen, what as long as you got a voice? Well,
30:56
Speaker 2: speak to your manager four three four eight A two
31:00
Speaker 2: four two one seven. You know, you know it's fun
31:02
Speaker 2: when people gause. I want to speak to your manager,
31:04
Speaker 2: I said, okay, hang on, put my phone down, maybe
31:08
Speaker 2: even drum my fingers to make it sound like I'm
31:10
Speaker 2: walking away. And I pick up the phone and say Hi,
31:12
Speaker 2: this is Joe. I wanted to speak to your manager.
31:16
Speaker 2: I am my manager. This must explain much, I guess.
31:22
Speaker 2: So to finish up the point I made right before
31:26
Speaker 2: the break, the difference between Iran reopening straight upfore moves
31:31
Speaker 2: going after the mines, and the US Navy trying to
31:35
Speaker 2: do it is the the Iranians know where they put
31:40
Speaker 2: them and so they can begin by And the biggest
31:45
Speaker 2: part of the sixty day window is they need to
31:47
Speaker 2: be part part of the shepherding operations, saying don't go there,
31:51
Speaker 2: don't go there yet, don't go there yet. And one
31:56
Speaker 2: of the big keys in the fourteen points is that
32:00
Speaker 2: they agree to establish a Strait of Hormuze authority with
32:05
Speaker 2: Oman that will I don't know if overlay, but go
32:16
Speaker 2: beyond just the territorial This is our territorial waters, the
32:23
Speaker 2: laws of the sea. And Kareem's not wrong about insurance
32:27
Speaker 2: on these ships. So what my mother did her whole
32:30
Speaker 2: banking career was international letters of credit. She lost her
32:35
Speaker 2: job when the insurance companies got involved. When we under
32:39
Speaker 2: the Clintons were able to merge banks and insurance companies,
32:44
Speaker 2: and so the big insurance companies bought up some banks
32:47
Speaker 2: and started to do international letters of credit under their
32:51
Speaker 2: insurance banner. And I don't know if it's helped shipping
32:57
Speaker 2: or not. I know it screwed my mother out of
32:59
Speaker 2: it job. She was seventy two, but she was still working.
33:03
Speaker 2: Had more cognitive ability than Jill Biden. Never mind Joe
33:06
Speaker 2: Biden there but the issue of expanding Americanism to the world,
33:15
Speaker 2: there is a there's a nuance to it, and it
33:21
Speaker 2: has to be carefully put. Koreem said, American Empire, that
33:26
Speaker 2: kind of thing. Was reacting to it as if that's
33:29
Speaker 2: what I was talking about, but exposed to think about.
33:33
Speaker 2: I don't know how many miles are on euro doometer,
33:36
Speaker 2: but I think about the decade I was born in,
33:42
Speaker 2: was born in the nineteen sixties, and I think about
33:50
Speaker 2: the world and how it viewed its citizens' rights. It's
33:59
Speaker 2: the countries of the world and their responsibilities to protect
34:03
Speaker 2: their citizens' rights. And I think about where we are now.
34:07
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying you should navel gaze your way
34:10
Speaker 2: through a day and sit under an apple tree waiting
34:14
Speaker 2: to discover gravity. But as I said half an hour ago,
34:21
Speaker 2: history doesn't repeat, but at rhymes and exposed to unabashed Americanism,
34:30
Speaker 2: whether it be under Ronald Reagan or Donald Trump, George Bush,
34:38
Speaker 2: the idea that America, by its foundation is a better
34:44
Speaker 2: idea for humanity economically, socially. Do we have problems? Are
34:53
Speaker 2: there anti Semitic nut clusters online sitting there saying, you know,
34:58
Speaker 2: Trump's just being run around by thew use stuff like that,
35:02
Speaker 2: and planning to fly drones. I don't know. If they
35:05
Speaker 2: don't understand how things work in Washington, DC, you're not
35:09
Speaker 2: even going to be able to fly commercial airliners into Washington,
35:13
Speaker 2: d C. On July fourth. They think they're going to
35:16
Speaker 2: get drones up in the air and fly them all
35:19
Speaker 2: the way over to the UFC event. Those suckers were
35:22
Speaker 2: going to be shot down before anyone knew what was happening.
35:25
Speaker 2: And by the way, the FBI would have triangulated the signals,
35:28
Speaker 2: so the operators would have been arrested seconds later. But
35:33
Speaker 2: you have these people and you have to go after
35:37
Speaker 2: them when they expose themselves. Can't arrest them for not
35:43
Speaker 2: doing anything wrong. We teeter on trying to write laws
35:48
Speaker 2: that do thought crime, and we think you have bad
35:51
Speaker 2: intentions because you said the Constitution is a good thing
35:54
Speaker 2: in slavery existed under the Constitution, So therefore the same
36:00
Speaker 2: ibram KINDI transverse logic that's always existed. But if I
36:06
Speaker 2: think back to where the countries of the world when
36:11
Speaker 2: I was born versus now, so just say, in the
36:17
Speaker 2: last half of a century, how much the world has
36:21
Speaker 2: changed and become not American but more like America. It's
36:30
Speaker 2: whether you call it an empire or an economic empire
36:33
Speaker 2: or whatever. The idea of Americanism is growing across the world.
36:41
Speaker 2: Why because people want to have an opportunity to be prosperous.
36:46
Speaker 2: Countries realize when their citizens are prosperous, they become prosperous,
36:51
Speaker 2: not the other way around. Those kind of things. On
36:56
Speaker 2: the newsmaker's line with us on this Thursday morning, Tim
37:00
Speaker 2: Carney from the American Enterprise Institute has a new book,
37:03
Speaker 2: and I thought it was notable because it's about the
37:07
Speaker 2: assault on the family. The title of the book is
37:10
Speaker 2: Family Unfriendly. Tim, Thank you for getting up early. How
37:13
Speaker 2: are you doing this morning? Doing well?
37:15
Speaker 8: Thanks for having me so.
37:19
Speaker 2: You know, I'm on the high side of raising kids myself.
37:23
Speaker 2: And one of the things that I find compelling about
37:26
Speaker 2: your book title is here I am with My youngest
37:30
Speaker 2: is twenty six now, and I'm looking back saying, yeah,
37:36
Speaker 2: that wasn't as hard as I thought it was going
37:38
Speaker 2: to be. I mean, I was panic stricken when my
37:40
Speaker 2: first one was born, and I'm thinking, what am I doing?
37:43
Speaker 2: What kind of dumbass am I that I thought I
37:46
Speaker 2: could raise kids? And now I'm looking at them, all
37:49
Speaker 2: three of them. I have people coming up to me
37:51
Speaker 2: all the time, Oh, your kid's great. I love working
37:53
Speaker 2: with your son. All your daughter's awesome. And it's the
37:57
Speaker 2: greatest high I've ever had is to have somebody tell
38:00
Speaker 2: me what a great credit to their organization my kids are.
38:03
Speaker 2: And I don't know how I did it. So I
38:05
Speaker 2: have to believe you're right that raising children isn't as
38:09
Speaker 2: hard as the status make it out to be. How
38:13
Speaker 2: did you come to the idea of the book? Was
38:15
Speaker 2: that kind of a little bit of it?
38:18
Speaker 8: Part of it was I wrote a book a few
38:20
Speaker 8: years back called Alienated America that was about the collapse
38:24
Speaker 8: of community in the US. How we know our neighbors less,
38:27
Speaker 8: were less likely to belong to stuff, we go to
38:29
Speaker 8: church less, And I was thinking about the consequences of
38:34
Speaker 8: this as well as the causes and family was smack
38:38
Speaker 8: in the middle. That I realized where your Americans were
38:40
Speaker 8: getting married a lot less and having fewer babies, and
38:43
Speaker 8: those who are having fewer babies or having smaller families,
38:46
Speaker 8: and that that had to be a massively important thing.
38:50
Speaker 8: So I wanted to write on that, but I decided
38:51
Speaker 8: that I, as a a Catholic dad of six kids,
38:55
Speaker 8: shouldn't be wagging my finger at people saying you all
38:58
Speaker 8: need to get busy and have more babies.
39:00
Speaker 2: That's a great point. Hang on to that. We've got
39:02
Speaker 2: the news. Tim Carney is on.
