Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas. First,
- 0:06Speaker 1: I think you really don't like him, the second most
- 0:09Speaker 1: famous Thomas and Charlotte Smooth.
- 0:11Speaker 2: That is absolutely true.
- 0:14Speaker 3: Jewort's a steal mem you have a day.
- 0:19Speaker 4: Least for work when the sun comes up, drops a.
- 0:21Speaker 5: Pet to school.
- 0:24Speaker 6: Joey has everything, a dream of all the treasures, sudden needs,
- 0:29Speaker 6: no wonder Joe's smile.
- 0:31Speaker 4: He only iss.
- 0:36Speaker 7: Joe, thank you for letting me be of service to you.
- 0:42Speaker 8: Not only do I not like him, I don't like
- 0:45Speaker 8: him because of what he's doing to the United States.
- 0:49Speaker 7: You know, it's a good company to be in right there.
- 0:51Speaker 7: I don't care who you are on this President's Day
- 0:55Speaker 7: morning where we gather and we supposedly are supposed to
- 1:00Speaker 7: celebrate all the presidents because Lincoln and Washington they didn't
- 1:04Speaker 7: deserve a day of their own and some of it.
- 1:08Speaker 7: I said in the first hour. If you want to
- 1:12Speaker 7: celebrate something and somebody suggests maybe we should have a
- 1:15Speaker 7: three day weekend around your you know, whatever it is
- 1:20Speaker 7: that we want to celebrate, don't let them do it.
- 1:24Speaker 7: Don't let them because it's a death knell it. Eventually
- 1:28Speaker 7: it will become nothing more than you know, a reason
- 1:31Speaker 7: to have a fifty percent off furniture sale. And all
- 1:36Speaker 7: of our three day weekends will be right at the end,
- 1:39Speaker 7: you know, maybe a month before the end of some
- 1:41Speaker 7: style quarter, right before the spring line has to come
- 1:44Speaker 7: in so they can clear out the winter stuff. And
- 1:47Speaker 7: we'll just have sales holidays and we'll name them stuff.
- 1:51Speaker 7: We'll give them names, Christmas, that kind of stuff. But
- 1:54Speaker 7: it's not going to be the holiday anymore. You know,
- 1:57Speaker 7: Christmas sometimes falls on Wednesday, and that's really awkward. Nothing
- 2:02Speaker 7: ever gets done. Maybe we should just make Christmas in
- 2:06Speaker 7: America the third Monday of every December. They'll do the
- 2:11Speaker 7: same thing with Thanksgiving, you know, maybe it should just
- 2:15Speaker 7: be the fourth Monday in November. And it ruins it.
- 2:25Speaker 7: It just it cheapens it. It takes away all the
- 2:28Speaker 7: point of it. People will forget why they have a
- 2:32Speaker 7: holiday there, and you'll be celebrating people like James Buchanan
- 2:44Speaker 7: who whistled while you know, the Civil War burned. We
- 2:49Speaker 7: got lots of folks coming in. You know, the folks
- 2:52Speaker 7: in Virginia got catfished again. Catfish is clearly becoming the
- 2:56Speaker 7: front runner in the Virginia state fish I'm not even
- 3:00Speaker 7: sure if we have one, but if we do, it
- 3:02Speaker 7: should be the catfish the way twenty twenty six has
- 3:05Speaker 7: gone since early January. Our first things, though, so that
- 3:09Speaker 7: we know what we're talking about. Iran is claiming to
- 3:13Speaker 7: be open to compromise with the US on a nuclear
- 3:16Speaker 7: deal if the American government is willing to discuss lifting sanctions.
- 3:21Speaker 7: This comes from senior Iranian official Majid tact Ravanchi, Iran's
- 3:27Speaker 7: deputy foreign minister. He said in an interview that the
- 3:31Speaker 7: ball was in America's court to prove that they want
- 3:35Speaker 7: to do a deal. If they're sincere, I'm sure we
- 3:38Speaker 7: will be on the road to this agreement. Ukrainian drones
- 3:45Speaker 7: strike ignited fires at some black sea ports in Russian
- 3:51Speaker 7: controlled territory. Meanwhile, after shooting a couple of drones out
- 3:54Speaker 7: of the sky, apparently some civilian transportation infrastructure, rail and
- 4:00Speaker 7: our service and some power lines were damaged in the
- 4:05Speaker 7: Odessa region. This all in advance of talks that were
- 4:09Speaker 7: supposed to start this week to end the nearly four
- 4:12Speaker 7: year old war. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is
- 4:17Speaker 7: being lauded for a wonderful speech given Saturday at the
- 4:23Speaker 7: Munich Summit, saying that it was such a clear outline
- 4:33Speaker 7: of President Trump's vision for a revitalized NATO, not a
- 4:39Speaker 7: destroyed one. It was an eighteen minute speech earned standing
- 4:43Speaker 7: ovations from those in attendance except for Hillary Clinton, who
- 4:47Speaker 7: you heard there. Then he flew to Hungary to meet
- 4:51Speaker 7: with Victor Orbon and leaders in his government to sign
- 4:54Speaker 7: a civilian nuclear cooperation agreement and show the US government's
- 5:01Speaker 7: support for Orbon, who is facing a tough re election battle.
- 5:09Speaker 7: Controversy in the Olympics as the curling team from Canada
- 5:21Speaker 7: is in trouble for what they are calling a violation
- 5:25Speaker 7: of the rules. Oscar Erickson of Sweden has accused Mark
- 5:29Speaker 7: Kennedy of Canada's curling team for touching the rock twice.
- 5:36Speaker 7: Kennedy responded with an expletive Leyden outburst caught on video.
- 5:43Speaker 7: FBI says they've found DNA on a glove nearby Savannah
- 5:47Speaker 7: Guthrie's mother's home and they're sending it to the lab
- 5:53Speaker 7: for testing and house borders are Tom Homan says they're
- 5:56Speaker 7: almost done with the drawdown of officers in Minneapolis and
- 6:02Speaker 7: those are our first things. First thing today by Joe Thomas,

- 9:37Speaker 11: than from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like
- 9:41Speaker 11: the one for new maccle disease can protect adults from
- 9:44Speaker 11: illnesses that can cause misdays of work, hospitalization, and even death.
- 9:49Speaker 11: New macaccle disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
- 9:53Speaker 11: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
- 9:56Speaker 11: of an infection that can spread from person to person.

- 11:05Speaker 10: you recognize them by their clothes, their age, the way
- 11:10Speaker 10: they speak. Would you notice a sixteen year old boy
- 11:13Speaker 10: who got his first job for extra spending money, but
- 11:16Speaker 10: to help feed his little sisters. Or a mother who's
- 11:20Speaker 10: in between jobs and sometimes goes to bed hungry so
- 11:23Speaker 10: her kids can have dinner. Or a fourteen year old
- 11:26Speaker 10: girl who signs up to every after.
- 11:28Speaker 14: School activity not to make friends, but just to get
- 11:31Speaker 14: something to eat.
- 11:33Speaker 15: Or a retiree who fell ill and had.
- 11:35Speaker 1: To choose between getting medicine or groceries.
- 11:40Speaker 10: I am the one in aid Americans who struggle with hunger.

- 11:46Speaker 14: But never knew were hungry.

- 12:02Speaker 16: Think about this. There are five freedoms guaranteed in the
- 12:05Speaker 16: First Amendment. Freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of
- 12:09Speaker 16: the press, freedom to peaceably assemble, freedom to petition the government?
- 12:14Speaker 16: Which freedom can you live without? Fortunately, the First Amendment
- 12:18Speaker 16: doesn't make you choose. It protects all five freedoms equally.

- 12:27Speaker 4: When might you be buzzed when you suddenly love everything
- 12:31Speaker 4: you guys.
- 12:32Speaker 2: I love this song.
- 12:34Speaker 5: I love these notchos, I love archidefall League.
- 12:39Speaker 17: Oh, I love this guy.

- 12:47Speaker 4: If you see a buzzed warning sign, call for a
- 12:49Speaker 4: ride when it's time to go home. Buzz driving is
- 12:51Speaker 4: drunk driving. A message from NITZA and the AD Council's radio.
- 12:56Speaker 7: It's on.
- 13:12Speaker 1: On a need to know basis, because you need to
- 13:15Speaker 1: know the first thing today MAGA.
- 13:18Speaker 19: Kind of been the rights, the constitutions, what's it wor.
- 13:26Speaker 7: You know they're going to grind us down until really,
- 13:32Speaker 7: what is it worth it? It's only worth the laws
- 13:34Speaker 7: that are enforced about it. And that's one of the
- 13:37Speaker 7: great perversions of America right now is that we've been
- 13:41Speaker 7: told that freedom means ignoring the law. And it's dangerous.
- 13:47Speaker 7: Oh it's dangerous and it is ugly. But that is
- 13:50Speaker 7: the secret sauce behind it all, is that you're being
- 13:54Speaker 7: told that ignoring the law is freedom. It's not only
- 14:00Speaker 7: explain in a little bit. Got tons of folks on
- 14:02Speaker 7: the line at four three four eighty two four two
- 14:05Speaker 7: one seven to talk about pharmacies and how the government
- 14:10Speaker 7: keeps you from having affordable you know prescriptions. Also, a
- 14:16Speaker 7: great book just came out called climate Porn. I think
- 14:19Speaker 7: appropriate as we are exiting the UH the endangerment findings
- 14:24Speaker 7: at EPA. But our friend James from the Jefferson Coin
- 14:28Speaker 7: shop jcsgold dot com is done with us at four
- 14:32Speaker 7: three four nine to seven nine coin. That's how you
- 14:36Speaker 7: can call them when you want to talk to a family,
- 14:39Speaker 7: not a call center about gold and silver. I was
- 14:41Speaker 7: reading a headline that said the dollar is getting stronger,
- 14:45Speaker 7: but it still seems like gold and silver are getting
- 14:47Speaker 7: stronger at the same time. James, what's going on? How
- 14:49Speaker 7: are you this morning?
- 14:52Speaker 20: Yeah, I'm joll Well Joe, and you're exactly right.
- 14:55Speaker 21: And that has been the reason why gold and silver
- 14:57Speaker 21: I have dropped back a little bit from its all
- 14:59Speaker 21: time highs seen a few weeks ago. You know, gold
- 15:03Speaker 21: was at fifty six hundred dollars and silver was at
- 15:06Speaker 21: around one twenty per ounce. And since since Kevin Warsh
- 15:12Speaker 21: was announced as FED chair, the dollar has has strengthened
- 15:16Speaker 21: a little bit, and UH and golden silver and have
- 15:18Speaker 21: come down slightly. They are hanging, you know, right at
- 15:21Speaker 21: the same level as they were last week. Gold is
- 15:24Speaker 21: at five thousand and three dollars, so just back barely
- 15:28Speaker 21: above five thousand dollars. Silver is lagging a little bit
- 15:31Speaker 21: currently at seventy seven dollars and five cents, so it
- 15:34Speaker 21: hasn't broken back above eighty yet, but we'll see, you know,
- 15:38Speaker 21: if this is the new normal area for gold and silver,
- 15:41Speaker 21: you know, five thousand dollars gold just shive eighty a
- 15:45Speaker 21: little bit over eighty dollars for silver. You know, this
- 15:47Speaker 21: is the new normal evaluation for them. It'll be interesting
- 15:52Speaker 21: to see, and you can always take advantage of any
- 15:55Speaker 21: discount pricing, you know, any dip in the market. There
- 15:57Speaker 21: at jcscold dot com our daily deal page, so check

- 16:02Speaker 7: Now, you guys are taking President's Day, so you know,
- 16:06Speaker 7: if somebody wants to call you, they do it to
- 16:08Speaker 7: Tuesday ten Eastern Standard time there and I appreciate everything

- 16:16Speaker 7: too busy on you taking the opportunity to buy now
- 16:19Speaker 7: before it starts to climb up again. Right, Yeah, you're
- 16:23Speaker 7: exactly right.
- 16:24Speaker 21: Usually usually when we have a day off like this,
- 16:27Speaker 21: the next day is double or triple the amount of work.
- 16:31Speaker 21: But the Golden Silver Market are open today even though
- 16:34Speaker 21: our showroom is closed. So of course the jcscold dot

- 16:46Speaker 7: All right, Well, thank you, sir, God bless Yeah, thanks Joe,
- 16:50Speaker 7: you too, jcsgold dot com.
- 16:55Speaker 22: Virginia. Here, we believe in fairness, especially when it comes
- 17:00Speaker 22: to our elections. But right now fair elections are under
- 17:04Speaker 22: unprecedented threat.
- 17:05Speaker 23: President Trump called on red states to redraw congressional maps
- 17:08Speaker 23: to give Republicans an advantage in next year's midterm elections.
- 17:13Speaker 7: This is from the ad. The ad is called Level
- 17:18Speaker 7: It's Virginians for Fair Elections. They don't even attribute that
- 17:23Speaker 7: is not a news reporter. I checked. There's no news
- 17:27Speaker 7: anchor clip in this. It is just a guy like
- 17:31Speaker 7: me being paid to sound like a newsman, which I
- 17:34Speaker 7: do every hour at the top of the hour to
- 17:36Speaker 7: my best newsman impression, to make it sound like there
- 17:42Speaker 7: is news stories over pictures of Donald Trump and all
- 17:44Speaker 7: the Texas and Missouri.
- 17:46Speaker 22: Well, you think all of this is cheating Trump and
- 17:49Speaker 22: mega Republicans are trying to rig the midterm elections so
- 17:52Speaker 22: they can lock in power. But we can restore fairness
- 17:55Speaker 22: with an amendment that gives Virginians the power to level
- 17:58Speaker 22: the playing field. And it's temporary, reaffirming our commitment to
- 18:03Speaker 22: bipartisan redistricting.
- 18:05Speaker 7: So you know, you know that it's got to be
- 18:06Speaker 7: good if it's just temporary.
- 18:08Speaker 22: Right this year, our Commonwealth can defend the common good
- 18:12Speaker 22: by voting yes for fair elections.
- 18:16Speaker 7: And that's it. That's it. And you know, like I said,
- 18:19Speaker 7: so many folks catfished by this ad running all the time.
- 18:23Speaker 7: Apparently it was all over the Olympics coverage in between,
- 18:26Speaker 7: you know, the controversy and the swearing and cussing of
- 18:29Speaker 7: the Canadian curling team, and people thought because if you
- 18:35Speaker 7: search Virginians for fair elections, you get Virginia fair elections
- 18:40Speaker 7: dot org in Google and that's a conservative site led
- 18:45Speaker 7: by people like me. So of course I'm getting phone
- 18:49Speaker 7: calls all Sunday from people saying, the hell are you
- 18:51Speaker 7: doing with the hell are you playing at, Joe? And
- 18:55Speaker 7: it's not true. It's just more Virginia catfish, which is
- 18:58Speaker 7: quickly leading the charged to become Virginia's state fish. The catfish,
- 19:04Speaker 7: I don't even can we catch do we have catfish
- 19:06Speaker 7: native to Virginia? I mean, you know, she certainly has
- 19:10Speaker 7: moved into the governor's mansion. But anyway, governor catfish notwithstanding.
- 19:14Speaker 7: Let me see what Joel has for us at four three,
- 19:17Speaker 7: four eight eight two four two one seven. Good morning, Joel,
- 19:20Speaker 7: what's going on?
- 19:22Speaker 24: Good morning, Joe.
- 19:23Speaker 7: Yeah, the catfish. You don't want to gut her?
- 19:24Speaker 24: The yellow bellies, the yellow belly catfish, belly cafish.
- 19:30Speaker 7: What do you use some wild West you know, gunslinger?
- 19:33Speaker 7: Why sure if you're anohing, but a yellow belly catfish there,
- 19:37Speaker 7: I call you out, son. Anyway, what's on your mind? Yeah,
- 19:43Speaker 7: real quick. Though.
- 19:44Speaker 24: They used to suck when we caught them in Ohio
- 19:46Speaker 24: because they have big barbles that stick out and they're small.
- 19:49Speaker 24: But you know, the fish are small, but they're just
- 19:51Speaker 24: they're good fighters. But no, I think I think an
- 19:55Speaker 24: order for the Republicans or the Conservatives to win anything.
- 20:01Speaker 24: The Democrats still hold the media, and they hold, like
- 20:05Speaker 24: you said, a lot of money in different places. And
- 20:09Speaker 24: turning Point has been a big influence on the previous elections.
- 20:14Speaker 24: But the Republicans, and I don't like to keep, you know,
- 20:18Speaker 24: put down the party that I support, But the Republicans,
- 20:22Speaker 24: a lot of people, and even people who are Republicans
- 20:25Speaker 24: think most most of the Republicans, once something's done, they
- 20:29Speaker 24: sit on their hands.
- 20:30Speaker 7: Versus versus the.
- 20:32Speaker 24: Democrats, they're like the They're like the a bug you're
- 20:36Speaker 24: trying to prevent from coming in your house, you know that,
- 20:38Speaker 24: like seal up all the cracks and the holes and crevices.
- 20:42Speaker 24: Versus the Republicans think once they spray the perimeter of
- 20:46Speaker 24: their house, they're not going to get any termites or
- 20:49Speaker 24: roaches or anything coming in. But it's quite the opposite
- 20:51Speaker 24: with the Democrats.
- 20:53Speaker 7: Well, and they view life as a campaign. I think,
- 20:58Speaker 7: you know, Republicans need to understand the importance that what
- 21:03Speaker 7: Reagan said to us that liberty is never more than
- 21:07Speaker 7: one generation away from being lost. And what we are
- 21:13Speaker 7: missing in the conservative movement is that the funding doesn't
- 21:19Speaker 7: follow that mindset, and we need it to because if
- 21:24Speaker 7: we forget, they don't, and they're on a campaign. This
- 21:29Speaker 7: is a long march. The maoists are on their long
- 21:32Speaker 7: march through the institutions and the idea that there's money,
- 21:39Speaker 7: and this is what draws a Marxist to the United States.
- 21:43Speaker 7: It's the money we have because Marxists need money as
- 21:47Speaker 7: much as anyone else needs money. Marxists need someone else's money,
- 21:52Speaker 7: and they're running out of it and all these other
- 21:55Speaker 7: places that like locusts, they have consumed all of the
- 22:00Speaker 7: natural money. Andy Brandt, and her name is Shary.
- 22:03Speaker 25: I love.
- 22:04Speaker 26: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
- 22:06Speaker 26: for because of a surgery. She just went through.
- 22:09Speaker 27: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
- 22:11Speaker 27: talk about all the time, which.
- 22:13Speaker 7: Is meta share.
- 22:14Speaker 27: That is right.
- 22:14Speaker 26: Yeah, So what was your experience like with meta share
- 22:17Speaker 26: and healthcare ability?
- 22:18Speaker 27: Honestly, Brandt seamless and what a blessing that is. When
- 22:21Speaker 27: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was.
- 22:24Speaker 27: Members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
- 22:27Speaker 27: me tell you, having people pray with you when you
- 22:30Speaker 27: call in with your need that is.
- 22:32Speaker 7: Just, yes, refreshing.
- 22:34Speaker 27: Yes, that's what it is.
- 22:35Speaker 7: What I keep telling people.
- 22:36Speaker 26: People love meda share and they love saving money. The
- 22:39Speaker 26: typical family can save five hundred dollars a month.
- 22:42Speaker 27: I am very thankful for meta share. It is so different,
- 22:46Speaker 27: and I mean different in a very very good way.
- 22:48Speaker 26: It is good different.

- 23:06Speaker 6: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
- 23:11Speaker 6: better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
- 23:16Speaker 6: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports
- 23:20Speaker 6: veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
- 23:25Speaker 6: personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
- 23:31Speaker 6: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
- 23:34Speaker 6: on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
- 23:40Speaker 6: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
- 23:44Speaker 6: AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
- 23:48Speaker 6: your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
- 23:53Speaker 6: center of our profession. For more information on AI and
- 23:57Speaker 6: veterinary medicine, visit AVMA dot org.

- 28:12Speaker 1: Amaze your friends here in First Thing Today by Joe Thomas.
- 28:23Speaker 31: Hi, wait what James.
- 28:41Speaker 7: All over the and this is a mania that is
- 28:44Speaker 7: not unique to the Commonwealth of Virginia. Although I hate
- 28:48Speaker 7: quick note, I was told by an angler catfish is
- 28:52Speaker 7: prevalent around Virginia. Mike writes in especially in the James River,
- 28:58Speaker 7: which runs through Richmond, you can find a lot of
- 29:01Speaker 7: blue catfish. And I had to check that is actually
- 29:06Speaker 7: a breed of catfish, the blue catfish there, so okay there,
- 29:11Speaker 7: And the James River goes right through Richmond, so I
- 29:14Speaker 7: guess it just was only a matter of time before
- 29:17Speaker 7: a blue catfish wound up in the governor's mansion there.
- 29:22Speaker 7: But this issue with the redistricting Virginians right now have
- 29:28Speaker 7: captivated the country because in a lot of places it's
- 29:31Speaker 7: either been a done deal or they've abandoned it, like Indiana,
- 29:36Speaker 7: where they said no, I don't want to get yelled
- 29:38Speaker 7: at at the country club. So the Republicans back down,
- 29:43Speaker 7: and you know, you get a real good sense of
- 29:46Speaker 7: who you know likes Donald Trump or who was just
- 29:48Speaker 7: buying in the nonsense of redistricting. And I would like
- 29:52Speaker 7: to know who it was was it. I don't think
- 29:55Speaker 7: it was the President. I think it was Steve Miller
- 29:58Speaker 7: or somebody who was the first one to tweet out
- 30:01Speaker 7: on social media that when Texas was ordered by the
- 30:05Speaker 7: Supreme Court to redraw its districts because there were districts
- 30:09Speaker 7: that were dividing Latino communities, that you know, somehow, hey
- 30:14Speaker 7: we could use this court order. I mean, you know, yeah,
- 30:18Speaker 7: that's unforced errors, man, don't you know? And that's the
- 30:22Speaker 7: trouble with social media is people become addicted to it
- 30:26Speaker 7: and and they get stupid sometimes and you say stuff.
- 30:31Speaker 7: You know, why say that stuff? Maybe you think it
- 30:35Speaker 7: that's fine while we discuss catfishing. Maybe maybe you call
- 30:40Speaker 7: somebody in Texas and say, hey, maybe you could redraw
- 30:43Speaker 7: some districts. Maybe you call somebody in Florida and say,
- 30:46Speaker 7: maybe you could redraw some districts. Maybe you don't say
- 30:49Speaker 7: stuff like that. I mean, blessed, bless their heart if
- 30:54Speaker 7: they if they did, and we know it, but that
- 30:57Speaker 7: started the Gavin Newsom stuff. If Texas had just redrawn
- 31:02Speaker 7: its districts the way the Supreme Court had ordered them to, well,
- 31:05Speaker 7: not be in this mess. Then you get Eric Holder involved,
- 31:09Speaker 7: and he's got bags of Obama money still kicking around.
- 31:12Speaker 7: I think it's actually as valuable as it was back
- 31:15Speaker 7: when Obama was president, which was a lot more than
- 31:17Speaker 7: it is once Joe Biden was done burning the treasury
- 31:20Speaker 7: down there. John on the Treasure Coast is on with
- 31:24Speaker 7: us at four three four eight eight two four two
- 31:27Speaker 7: one seven. Good on, John. How are you doing, my friend?
- 31:30Speaker 19: Yeah, I'm still vertical.
- 31:32Speaker 7: I'm glad to hear that. That's always that first thing
- 31:34Speaker 7: you check in the morning. Am I standing up? Okay?
- 31:36Speaker 7: That's good? Check check number one?
- 31:38Speaker 23: Now?
- 31:39Speaker 7: Where is the coffee pot?
- 31:42Speaker 19: I'm I'm a disabled veteran. I've been trying to buy
- 31:45Speaker 19: gold and or silver using my cell phone, and I
- 31:49Speaker 19: offered and when I called the golden silver different purveyors,
- 31:53Speaker 19: they all require that i'd be online in order to
- 31:57Speaker 19: purchase it. I said, well, how about I use my
- 31:59Speaker 19: direct debit card directly in my account. You get the
- 32:02Speaker 19: money immediately, you know, and then you ship it to
- 32:05Speaker 19: my house. And I said, no, you have to be online.
- 32:09Speaker 19: In other words, how is the the the average person
- 32:12Speaker 19: buy silver gold if you're not online?
- 32:15Speaker 7: Well, I don't know. That was one of the places
- 32:19Speaker 7: because I can't speak about jcsgold dot com except to
- 32:23Speaker 7: know that I go there and I talked to them.
- 32:26Speaker 7: But their website is on your phone. So if you
- 32:29Speaker 7: go to on your phone, open up your browser on
- 32:32Speaker 7: your smartphone to j csgold dot com, their website comes up,
- 32:38Speaker 7: which is, as far as I can tell you, the same.
- 32:42Speaker 7: Oh you don't. So so when you say you're calling
- 32:46Speaker 7: to oh, you call like a call center and say
- 32:49Speaker 7: I want to order some gold. Hey, I want to
- 32:52Speaker 7: buy some gold.
- 32:53Speaker 23: And call their main number.
- 32:54Speaker 19: I call her main number using my flip phone and
- 32:58Speaker 19: I offered to buy it, you know outright, you know,
- 33:01Speaker 19: using my debit card, you know, my vis a debit
- 33:04Speaker 19: card directly telling to my checking and they say I
- 33:07Speaker 19: have to go online, and I can't go online because
- 33:09Speaker 19: I don't own a computer.
- 33:10Speaker 20: I don't have a smartphone.
- 33:12Speaker 7: That's an interesting Yeah. Yeah, I'll have to ask James,
- 33:19Speaker 7: our friend at j C S Gold. I don't know
- 33:21Speaker 7: if there's a law that says, I mean, I know,
- 33:23Speaker 7: for like gun transactions, some things like that they they
- 33:26Speaker 7: require in person so that you can be checked your
- 33:29Speaker 7: background and all that stuff.
- 33:32Speaker 19: But right, the second question, yeah, yeah, go ahead, the
- 33:36Speaker 19: second question when I order when my medications are ordered
- 33:41Speaker 19: every month, every thirty days for because I'm fighting cancer
- 33:46Speaker 19: and what and many many other things. When I'm a
- 33:49Speaker 19: disabled veteran. Yeah, and when I get to generic form,
- 33:54Speaker 19: I can tell a market different than the strengths of
- 33:57Speaker 19: the medication. It's it's just not it's not as as
- 34:01Speaker 19: a cure or strong as the regular brand. And I'm
- 34:06Speaker 19: wondering if we're getting ripped off here.
- 34:09Speaker 7: That's an interesting question. You're not the first person to
- 34:11Speaker 7: ask me about that. I am medication free. Uh, And
- 34:15Speaker 7: I have been since I ended my cancer journey eleven
- 34:20Speaker 7: plus years ago. To believe me, I have friends saying,
- 34:24Speaker 7: how do you stay medication free at your age? You know,
- 34:28Speaker 7: I don't know. Good luck, good living, whatever, But so
- 34:33Speaker 7: I don't.
- 34:34Speaker 19: But I've heard about and telling them, please don't give
- 34:39Speaker 19: me any more generics.
- 34:40Speaker 7: Well some of the stuff. I don't know what the
- 34:43Speaker 7: VA rule is on this, but some some of these
- 34:46Speaker 7: government programs require generics to be given. Now, you are not,
- 34:53Speaker 7: as I said, you are not the first person to
- 34:56Speaker 7: bring up this issue of feeling like the generic drug
- 35:01Speaker 7: is weaker than the full strength you know, the name brand,
- 35:08Speaker 7: And it could be it might even move around from
- 35:11Speaker 7: manufacturer to manufacturer. It depends on who's making it sometimes,
- 35:16Speaker 7: because a lot of the generics, believe it or not,
- 35:18Speaker 7: are made by just a division of the same company
- 35:22Speaker 7: that made the original. That's one of the things that
- 35:24Speaker 7: a lot of my advocate friends are up in arms
- 35:27Speaker 7: about too, because the generics that they find are just
- 35:31Speaker 7: made by the original company Fiz or whatever under a
- 35:35Speaker 7: different company name, and and they're not as cheap as
- 35:38Speaker 7: you could get them otherwise inexpensive. You know, I don't
- 35:44Speaker 7: know what the law is that, but I'm gonna have
- 35:47Speaker 7: to look into that.
- 35:49Speaker 19: Yeah, and then one has to ask the question, has
- 35:53Speaker 19: China involved in the manufacturer?
- 35:55Speaker 7: But the drugs I've got to believe they are. I mean,
- 36:00Speaker 7: I know that there. You know, fentanyl comes out of China,
- 36:03Speaker 7: and fentyl is actually a prescription drug. You know it's killed,
- 36:07Speaker 7: but you know the criminally laced you know, you know
- 36:10Speaker 7: Street Corner manufactured stuff, but you know dentists used ventanyl
- 36:14Speaker 7: a lot of that. Hang out a second here, I've
- 36:16Speaker 7: got we may have an answer to your question because
- 36:20Speaker 7: I'm getting a line ringing here. So John, thank you, sir,
- 36:23Speaker 7: You have a great morning. You too, Joe, God bless
- 36:28Speaker 7: you stay tuned and we may have an answer for
- 36:30Speaker 7: you here. Good morning, you're on the air with Joe.
- 36:33Speaker 7: Who's this?
- 36:35Speaker 23: Hey, this is pharmacist Bob, and you're absolutely correct. Many
- 36:40Speaker 23: of the generic drugs are actually made by the brand
- 36:44Speaker 23: name company. A good example is Lipatour. When lipator a
- 36:49Speaker 23: Torbus Danton first came out, it was made by Greenstone.
- 36:53Speaker 23: If you look at the tablets, the tablets were exactly
- 36:57Speaker 23: the same tablets, the same markets.
- 37:00Speaker 7: Okay, what about what about all the game?
- 37:04Speaker 20: What about?
- 37:04Speaker 7: John's first question is are generics sometimes made, you know,
- 37:09Speaker 7: less less strength than the originals.
- 37:15Speaker 23: It's always possible. There's a variance. There's been times when
- 37:19Speaker 23: brand name drugs like synthroids like nitro stat which is
- 37:23Speaker 23: nitroglycerine to prevent when you're having a heart attack you're
- 37:26Speaker 23: supposed to put under the tongue, that were sub.
- 37:31Speaker 7: Substandards.
- 37:32Speaker 23: They weren't at the right level substandard. It all depends
- 37:36Speaker 23: on the manufacture. If they're trying to cut corners. It's
- 37:39Speaker 23: the same thing with the brand name companies. They also
- 37:43Speaker 23: cut corners. There's a certain standard, and the issue is
- 37:46Speaker 23: the FDA doesn't do anything right. If you look at
- 37:49Speaker 23: all the drug calls that come out, the majority of
- 37:52Speaker 23: the drug call recalls are so late. At the majority
- 37:58Speaker 23: of the they're already.
- 38:01Speaker 26: Life can change so abruptly.
- 38:04Speaker 7: Just ask Paul.
- 38:05Speaker 26: He's a hardworking entrepreneur, he's young, he's got a young family. Suddenly, though,
- 38:09Speaker 26: he develops a rare medical condition where he lost the
- 38:12Speaker 26: use of both of his arms.
- 38:14Speaker 17: I could no longer drive a car, couldn't use a computer,
- 38:16Speaker 17: could type, couldn't use a mouse. I could not hold
- 38:18Speaker 17: my son, who was about a month old.
- 38:20Speaker 26: Paul and his family were facing a mountain of medical bills,
- 38:23Speaker 26: but they're so thankful that they're members of meta Share.
- 38:27Speaker 17: I think if someone asked me, like, hey, does menichare
- 38:30Speaker 17: really wrek? I'm living proof that it works. My four
- 38:33Speaker 17: children are living proof that it works. My arms, which
- 38:36Speaker 17: have been healed, are living proof that menashare works. Just
- 38:40Speaker 17: knowing the emotional peace of mind, knowing that our needs
- 38:42Speaker 17: are going to be taken care of when we have
- 38:44Speaker 17: some type of medical problem, that is such a huge
- 38:46Speaker 17: blessing to us.
- 38:47Speaker 26: It could be a huge blessing to you to people
- 38:50Speaker 26: save so much and love being part of meta Share

- 38:56Speaker 26: five share four zero eight five five share forty.
- 39:04Speaker 2: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 39:08Speaker 2: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 39:13Speaker 2: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 39:19Speaker 2: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 39:23Speaker 2: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 39:27Speaker 2: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 39:32Speaker 2: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 39:37Speaker 2: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 39:42Speaker 2: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 39:46Speaker 2: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 39:51Speaker 2: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

- 40:59Speaker 25: Hi, everybody, Jack Hannah and It's always a boy. Growing
- 41:01Speaker 25: up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 41:05Speaker 25: I'm not only in all of their beauty and kindness,
- 41:07Speaker 25: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 41:09Speaker 25: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 41:13Speaker 25: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 41:15Speaker 25: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 41:18Speaker 25: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 41:21Speaker 25: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 41:23Speaker 25: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 41:26Speaker 25: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 41:30Speaker 25: at home, but because of their acute senses. They also
- 41:33Speaker 25: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
- 41:36Speaker 25: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
- 41:38Speaker 25: from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
- 41:42Speaker 25: a change.
- 41:42Speaker 1: In their blood chemistry.
- 41:43Speaker 25: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
- 41:46Speaker 25: contribute to society and help those in need. So please
- 41:48Speaker 25: join me an American Humane and supporting our heroic working
- 41:52Speaker 25: dogs and all the amazing animals on this planet we
- 41:54Speaker 25: inhabit together. Go to American Humane dot org to learn more.

- 42:05Speaker 29: And now a speech.
- 42:07Speaker 16: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
- 42:11Speaker 16: art and brain.
- 42:12Speaker 20: Who's with me?
- 42:13Speaker 17: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed.
- 42:15Speaker 16: And my brain is saying when it's time to go home.
- 42:18Speaker 5: Somebody call me a ride.
- 42:20Speaker 12: Love that guy, me too.
- 42:21Speaker 4: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
- 42:24Speaker 4: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.

- 44:45Speaker 7: and I appreciate you answering that, Bob, Yeah, how do
- 44:48Speaker 7: you know? I mean, are they're good? You said it
- 44:50Speaker 7: depends on who manufactured them?

- 44:58Speaker 7: Okay, are they good or bann.

- 45:03Speaker 7: Okay. Whatte about China is? Okay? What about China? Did
- 45:09Speaker 7: they do that?
- 45:10Speaker 23: Who knows buttids on who the company is and who

- 45:19Speaker 23: generic company?
- 45:20Speaker 7: But they do make them in China? What they do

- 45:28Speaker 23: There's many drugs that are made in China.
- 45:30Speaker 7: Okay, I just wanted to make sure I had never
- 45:32Speaker 7: actually investigated whether China was involved in the in the
- 45:35Speaker 7: prescription drug. I just presumed because fentanyl's made their which.
- 45:39Speaker 23: Is yeah, okay, you know the drugs are made all
- 45:44Speaker 23: over the world.
- 45:45Speaker 7: All right, Well, thank you to the tipstat YouTube. Bye bye.
- 45:51Speaker 7: Andy is on the line in Florida, tuning in this morning. Andy,
- 45:55Speaker 7: Good morning, sir. How are you.
- 45:58Speaker 20: Doing grey in? My full time job is saving the Republic?
- 46:03Speaker 7: You and me both brother, you know, and this is
- 46:06Speaker 7: you know, and this brings back up this whole issue
- 46:09Speaker 7: with the TV ads that ran in Virginia over redistricting,
- 46:13Speaker 7: and people are frustrated because the Democrats sit on multiple
- 46:19Speaker 7: hundreds of millions of dollars ready to buy ads at
- 46:23Speaker 7: a moment's notice, you know, as Scott in Hampton Rhodes
- 46:28Speaker 7: pointed out, Spanberger signed the order on February twenty January
- 46:35Speaker 7: twenty fifth, and they were already running ads online at
- 46:40Speaker 7: least on the twenty six I mean, they already had
- 46:42Speaker 7: their ads produced, they had the money in the bank.
- 46:45Speaker 7: And Republicans we don't sit on money like that, We
- 46:49Speaker 7: don't collect money like that. And maybe it's something that
- 46:52Speaker 7: conservative leadership needs to start thinking about. What do you
- 46:55Speaker 7: say to.
- 46:55Speaker 34: That, Well, the money is, you know, the root of
- 47:03Speaker 34: all evil. I guess you have to start with the
- 47:08Speaker 34: society first. And you know, I've always been sort of
- 47:13Speaker 34: a moral person, so that the Constitution publication that I
- 47:21Speaker 34: picked up at the end of a glass weekend. There's
- 47:24Speaker 34: a they call it the Glass Coast Weekend here, and
- 47:28Speaker 34: I've bought a few things that were one of us
- 47:31Speaker 34: from the famous people mostly dead. But at the end
- 47:37Speaker 34: of the weekend there's a lady named Chris Duggan and
- 47:40Speaker 34: she she's one of the primary funders of James O'Keefe's work,
- 47:46Speaker 34: and she, you know, she doesn't make a secret of
- 47:48Speaker 34: that at all. She's just out there, one one person
- 47:53Speaker 34: who has you know, pretty deep pockets, much deeper than mine.
- 47:56Speaker 34: But yeah, she's her guess, had pharmaceutical manufacturing companies.
- 48:05Speaker 7: And fits right in with the theme of the last
- 48:09Speaker 7: segment anyway. Yeah, I just was curious you triggered me
- 48:13Speaker 7: on that. Anything else on your mind this morning, sir?
- 48:16Speaker 20: Well, yeah, I mean it's you know, Patrick Henry.
- 48:20Speaker 34: You know, at the end of all the little fighting
- 48:24Speaker 34: that happened you know, he said, we've lost and he
- 48:27Speaker 34: refused to have anything to do with the centralized government,
- 48:30Speaker 34: even though they wanted to make him the head of
- 48:33Speaker 34: the Supreme Court.
- 48:34Speaker 20: And he would have been a perfect person for.
- 48:37Speaker 34: That because he had both integrity and intellect.
- 48:43Speaker 7: Well, but he did agree.
- 48:44Speaker 34: They with archives too, they I mean that all did.
- 48:48Speaker 34: I didn't remember the exact date, but nearly nineteen hundreds
- 48:53Speaker 34: they torched the buildings and there's almost no record of
- 48:57Speaker 34: him at all.
- 48:58Speaker 7: Oh, I know family well, but you know he did agree.
- 49:01Speaker 7: I mean this. There's a great book called Founding Rivals.
- 49:05Speaker 7: It's about the relationship between James Madison and James Monroe,
- 49:11Speaker 7: three of the presidents from our listening area. Two of
- 49:15Speaker 7: the three four if you throw in Woodrow, Wilson, and Stanton,
- 49:19Speaker 7: although he only lived there for a year. His birthplaces
- 49:22Speaker 7: is Presidential Library. But James Monroe was the deal. So
- 49:27Speaker 7: he was in with Patrick Henry and George Mason opposed
- 49:31Speaker 7: to the idea of a US Constitution, and he was
- 49:36Speaker 7: really the one that brought Madison to the table. Madison
- 49:40Speaker 7: dug in his heels on the constitution. He thought his
- 49:44Speaker 7: document was sufficient. George Mason said, you left out the
- 49:48Speaker 7: whole Bill of Rights thing, and Madison's argument I think
- 49:52Speaker 7: always gets left out of this. Madison's argument is that
- 49:57Speaker 7: those rights were pre eminent and assumed, and that if
- 50:02Speaker 7: the Constitution wrote them down, somebody would imagine, like a
- 50:07Speaker 7: Tim Kaine, that the government had some sway over whether
- 50:10Speaker 7: they existed or not. But it was it was James
- 50:14Speaker 7: Monroe who really played the deal maker to get Patrick
- 50:18Speaker 7: Henry and George Mason to put Virginia's support behind the
- 50:24Speaker 7: US Constitution once they added the Bill of Rights to it.
- 50:29Speaker 7: I am.
- 50:30Speaker 34: I mean this publication I'm looking at right now that
- 50:33Speaker 34: I just picked up, and you know, it's a summation
- 50:35Speaker 34: of that. You know, all those founding documents interesting, you know,
- 50:40Speaker 34: the the well the amendments that you're talking about, you
- 50:45Speaker 34: know are listed right here, not in.
- 50:49Speaker 20: Kid form but close to it.
- 50:51Speaker 7: Well, and keeping me and.
- 50:55Speaker 20: Did his work with Charlie before he was murdered.
- 50:59Speaker 7: Well, and that's you know, and you bring up.
- 51:03Speaker 20: Things.
- 51:04Speaker 7: I appreciate it, sir. And you actually bring up your
- 51:06Speaker 7: talk about James O'Keeffe. He's gonna come up. I'm doing
- 51:09Speaker 7: a new video today for our YouTube channel. Joe Thomas
- 51:13Speaker 7: in America for some reON. My video guy says, that's
- 51:17Speaker 7: a good title, I guess. But we're gonna do one
- 51:19Speaker 7: about guys like James O'Keeffe and Andrew Breitbart and the
- 51:24Speaker 7: people that drive them out of the organizations that they started,
- 51:29Speaker 7: you know, and why and what happens because it did
- 51:32Speaker 7: all lands square on the pages of the Epstein document release.
- 51:37Speaker 7: Uh And and you know how I loathe to say
- 51:40Speaker 7: I told you so, Andy, you know that you've been
- 51:43Speaker 7: listening a long time. I say it a lot, But.
- 51:44Speaker 34: If you're you're one of the few voices out there
- 51:49Speaker 34: that uh, you know, just tim you know, are trusted well.
- 51:54Speaker 7: And I will call balls and strikes even if everyone
- 51:56Speaker 7: else says I'm wrong, and I'll just wait for people
- 51:59Speaker 7: to realize what I saw. And sometimes it it doesn't
- 52:02Speaker 7: work out, But most of the time I wound up
- 52:04Speaker 7: being ahead of the curve on some things. And I
- 52:06Speaker 7: warned some people about one of Trump's uh special advisors,
- 52:10Speaker 7: and he shows up all over the Epstein files. And
- 52:13Speaker 7: I'm going to get into it into this video, and
- 52:15Speaker 7: I'm going to tie in with what was done to
- 52:19Speaker 7: Andrew to oust him from Breitbart dot com. Uh, and
- 52:23Speaker 7: very similar to how the you know, Machiavellians got rid
- 52:26Speaker 7: of James O'Keefe from Project Veritas. But I must run
- 52:30Speaker 7: to the news, my friend, and you have a great morning.
- 52:33Speaker 20: It up. He just you know we're uh, we're fighting
- 52:36Speaker 20: the same battle.
