• 0:55
  Speaker 2: it's impacting you where you are. Oh. Affordability. That's one
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: of those buzzwords. The slogan writers love affordability. It's a
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: great hashtag. What does it mean? What does it do?
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: What is it about? Who creates it? Whose job is
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: it for a family to have affordability in their life?
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: What is it all about? Well, pardon me, the President
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: is on his way out on an affordability tour. It
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: has been the buzzword of the American left for two years,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: three years at least now they used it successfully here
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: in Virginia and in New Jersey in their gubernatorial races.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Mark Warner, we've had some fun. Mark Warner can't stop
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: himself if he sees a camera from running out there
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: and say, this president ran on making things less expensive
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: for Americans, and things aren't the less expensive Americans except
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know, stuff like gasold. We even joked that
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: at some point Mark Warner, Virginia's Senator, would find his
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: way to a TV camera and announce that these drug
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: boat strikes were making cocaine less inexpensive for Americans.
• 2:17
  Speaker 8: I got as president was going to make things less expensive.
• 2:21
  Speaker 8: The price of crack has gone up five percent on
• 2:23
  Speaker 8: the poorest of the poor. It's it's a sleepy tax
• 2:28
  Speaker 8: on crack cocaine. Where's the reduction in these costs? These
• 2:35
  Speaker 8: these drug intercessions are just making the American citizens pay
• 2:39
  Speaker 8: more for their street drugs this president promised, Well, the
• 2:45
  Speaker 8: President has decided to get.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: His campaign style tours back on. For those who thought
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: those ended with the election in twenty twenty four, sorry,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: thanks for playing. He's back with new ones. He's going

  Speaker 2: Ohio tomorrow. I'll get you the full schedule rundown see
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: where he's going to cross with the realities of this program.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: But suffice to say that he's out there trying to
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: make the case for what really makes things affordable. Now,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: there are a lot of conservatives holding their breath because
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: their concern is that the President will succumb to the
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: easy answer, which is just send you more money to
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: pay for things. We'll get into all that coming up
• 3:34

• 6:14
  Speaker 2: his office. She writes, would opening the floor lead to

  Speaker 1: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Dunk Media Network.
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: I'm shocking a.
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: Nineties constan.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: I'm dropping my stand and so the backmby move. The
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: joke keeps me on the top. I count everybody, and
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: I want very good.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Where are where all dobin skin?
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: I used to suck my gosh but now a sun moment.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Afford please. It's all the buzzword. All the political consultants
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: love it. It fits in a hashtag. It's great for
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: gubernatorial candidate. It's because, believe me, goobers need all the
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: help you can get from a campaign manager. It's how
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: the Democrats believe they won Virginia and New Jersey's governor races,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: and they believe this is how they're going to win
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: the midterms. So the President is hit the road for
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: a bunch of his campaign style rallies, starting in Pennsylvania today,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: to talk about affordability. And here's the peril in this debate.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Too often political leaders both parties believe affordability just means
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: giving you the money to make up the difference. And
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: I've checked, I've checked every definition of the word affordable
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: or affordability, and none of them say giving somebody the
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: money to make up the difference in how much something costs.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: But in the Democrats parlance, in the Democrats campaign, and
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: this is exactly how they do it. They've been subsidizing
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: things since Lyndon Johnson invented the Great Society. And it's
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: the campaign that brings Marxism to your coffee table. Because
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: they drive up the costs of something, not a flaw
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: but a feature. They drive up the cost of things
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: by subsidizing it. So the manufacturers, the creators of whatever,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: but whether it's healthcare, health care, insurance, education, you name it,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: you subsidize it, and the costs go up. Why because
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: the makers of the product no longer have to figure, Hey,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: can anyone buy my stuff? Because nobody wants to throw
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: out something. You've worked to make it. You've spent money
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: to make something, You've expended some amount of fiscal energy
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: to make something, and if nobody buys, well, that's bad
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: on you. Ask General Motors. I'm sorry too soon. I
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: mean it was decades ago with too Big to Fail,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: son of Too Big to Fail, and so the peril
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: where a lot of folks are wondering, especially in the
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: light of the twelve billion dollar farm subsidy package. The
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: President announced that this affordability Tour is going to talk
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: more about government subsidies and checks from the tariffs and
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: all the other things that are collecting revenues or collections
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: more like revenue implies you've earned something, but the government
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: for its existence, I guess feels like it's earned something,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: so they call them revenues, and this is not making
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: things more affordable. And that's where a lot of conservatives
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: are nervous about what's going to come next? Are you?
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: I always am, But then again, that's why I'm a
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: happy warrior. Uh At four thirty four eight eight two
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: four two one seven would tell you what went on
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: and find out how it's impacting you. Come on here
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: on the air first thing this morning with Joe. Who's this?
• 17:16
  Speaker 16: Hey, this is pharmacist Bob calling about this drug recall,
• 17:20
  Speaker 16: which is a big joke.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Is it a big joke? Okay? We led the news
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: with it just because I kind of felt like, yeah,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: the politics is all well and good, but a blood
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: pressure of medication getting recalled probably is going to impact
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: a lot of people.
• 17:36
  Speaker 16: The issue is, Joe, you have to understand the affective
• 17:41
  Speaker 16: lots of this medication expire between November twenty twenty five
• 17:46
  Speaker 16: and May twenty twenty six. The majority of this drug
• 17:50
  Speaker 16: was probably manufactured two three years ago, and probably ninety
• 17:56
  Speaker 16: five percent of it has already been distributed and taken.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Wow, I had no idea. Swing.
• 18:06
  Speaker 16: Yes, many of these drug recalls are just for notoriety
• 18:10
  Speaker 16: to say, hey, look at we're doing something. If you
• 18:13
  Speaker 16: understand what it is, A Class three means it's not
• 18:17
  Speaker 16: going to cause it's not likely to cause adverse health consequences,
• 18:22
  Speaker 16: and the action required reading right from the FDA. Check
• 18:26
  Speaker 16: your medication bottles for a Latin numbers, contact your doctor
• 18:30
  Speaker 16: of effective do not stop the medication, continue taking unless
• 18:35
  Speaker 16: instructed otherwise by your healthcare provider. This is all just
• 18:40
  Speaker 16: propaganda to say, hey, look we're doing something, because if
• 18:46
  Speaker 16: why did it take them two years, three years to
• 18:50
  Speaker 16: come out and recall a drug that might have been
• 18:53
  Speaker 16: cross contaminated that's already expired. You know, this came out December,
• 18:58
  Speaker 16: in December, and the lats were already expiring in November
• 19:02
  Speaker 16: of twenty twenty five.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: That's interesting, that's you know, convenient little factoids not subtle
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: in there, especially the expired medications there. So what happened
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: in between two years ago when these drugs were manufactured?
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Based on your experience? Years? All right, three years? But
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know and all this time this cholesterol
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: is zambe? Is that the correct is zetamibbe in this.
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: You know?
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: And I can see where somebody might say well, it's
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: got cholesterol medication in the blood pressure medication. Is that bad?
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: But I guess you know you don't understand pharmacology if
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: you think just mixing medications is fine if the end
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: result is the same. So what would possibly happen to
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: somebody if they got this high cholesterol medical along with
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: their blood pressure medication.
• 20:05
  Speaker 16: Well, if they're already taking it Rabo doomlosis, which is
• 20:09
  Speaker 16: a muscle disease that's very common with certain cholesterol drugs
• 20:14
  Speaker 16: for people. So if they're already taking this drug as
• 20:18
  Speaker 16: part of their regiments, they already had high cholesterol and
• 20:22
  Speaker 16: it's contaminated with some of it, your blood levels could
• 20:26
  Speaker 16: be higher, which could lead to muscle issues that can
• 20:32
  Speaker 16: cause a very serious health concern. But the issue at
• 20:36
  Speaker 16: this is how come when there's salmonella right away, they
• 20:41
  Speaker 16: can kill a million chickens that have the bird flu,
• 20:46
  Speaker 16: but when it comes to humans in their medications, it
• 20:50
  Speaker 16: takes them two to three years to issue a drug recall.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: That is a good question. We just had a story
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: about that. Actually it didn't make it into the roster
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: this time, but I think something around a dozen vultures
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: were found dead in a Creek from supposedly the avian
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: flew there. Well, it's that's that is interesting because it
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: didn't seem like, uh, they were all that concerned about this.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: But I just figured a lot of folks take blood
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: pressure medication, so we'd late lead into the news with it.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: But you're saying it's it's just to make make people
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: look like they're FDA.
• 21:30
  Speaker 16: Yeah, it's just propaganda. It's just uh shock treatment to
• 21:34
  Speaker 16: get people to say it okay, you know, to be
• 21:39
  Speaker 16: the shock to say, hey, we're doing something. Look at
• 21:42
  Speaker 16: we found this drug. But the question is is why
• 21:45
  Speaker 16: didn't it take them two three years or longer? And
• 21:48
  Speaker 16: the contamination?
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Hey, you know got the news here by by Hey
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: we could blame the Biden administration on it.
• 22:01
  Speaker 17: Hey, I Brandt And her name is shay I Love.
• 22:04
  Speaker 17: She's a friend of mine who we were just praying

• 22:17
  Speaker 17: and health care ability?

  Speaker 18: you're already nervous about a health issue which I was.
• 22:24
  Speaker 18: Members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
• 22:27

• 23:06
  Speaker 20: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
• 23:11
  Speaker 20: better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
• 23:15
  Speaker 20: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports
• 23:20
  Speaker 20: veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
• 23:25
  Speaker 20: personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
• 23:30
  Speaker 20: and even streamline record keeping. So veterinarians can focus more
• 23:34
  Speaker 20: on patients, but, as with any new technology, always keep
• 23:40
  Speaker 20: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
• 23:44
  Speaker 20: AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
• 23:47
  Speaker 20: your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
• 23:53

• 24:31
  Speaker 6: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,

• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Absolute question for you from Joe Thomas. It's first thing today.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: So as the President embarks on this affordability tour, conservative
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: free marketeers are holding their breath that they'll be easy answers.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: And too often this is where conservatism versus Republican politics
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: comes across, because there is no easy answer, and politicians
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: love the easy and sir, the Democrats, you know, oh no,
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: they have the easy answer. We will provided you, you know,
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: qualify for the program, give you some money towards paying
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: that we see it with the Affordable Care Act premium subsidies.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: You know, far in your time.
• 29:25
  Speaker 8: We have the opportunity to move not only towards the
• 29:28
  Speaker 8: rich society and the powerful society.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: But upward to the great society read communist society.
• 29:37
  Speaker 22: The great society rests on abundance and liberty.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: For all, which is what Karl Marx was pitching. Thank you, Linden.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: And you know, oh the missed opportunities, the missed opportunities
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: to campaign against the communism back then. But because we
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: we're in the era of the post McCarthy era, if
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: you said communist or even socialist, you were ridiculed for
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: just being another McCarthyite. It's another red herring. Wink wink,
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: say the communists in the government officials that McCarthy was
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: right about. He was just wrong about how you beat them.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: You beat them by dragging them out into the town
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: square and saying, look at this craziness that you beat
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: communism by doing what you and I do each morning,
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: as you drag it out onto the street corner and say,
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: can you look at this? Does any of this make
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: a lick of sense to you? But the easy answer
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: is we will send somebody else's money to you so
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: you can pay the bill until you don't qualify for
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: that subsidy anymore, or the subsidy runs out because the
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: amount of other people's money goes away because the other
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: people stop making it, and they're like, well, they make
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: a lot of money, they can afford it. It's not
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: the matter of who can afford what, because that is
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: the Marxist conceit that there are wealthy people, why do
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: they need all that that conspicuous schism between haves and
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: have nots. And we are in a perilous, perilous place.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: Don't kid yourself. We are in the same place France
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: was in the eighteenth century. We're in the same place
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: Russia was in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. We
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: have allowed, some would argue, pushed the economy to have
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: such a schism that there are so many people living
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: below the poverty level. These alices that with a working poor,
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: that apparently calling them the working poor is demeaning. That
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: you struggle to find affordable housing because the politicians have
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: restricted the growth of housing in their area, so you
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: can't build more apartments than they make it so egregiously
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: expensive to build those apartments through subsidies that the average
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: person just can't afford it. We reward cheap stuff, but
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: unfortunately cheap stuff doesn't pay you a lot to make
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: it because it needs to remain cheap stuff and it's not.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: This is why making something affordable, and that's what President
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Trump is trying to rest the word affordable away from
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: the Democrats on this tour he's starting on today. It's
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: going to be very perilous because if it is, we
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: need to expand the Affordable Care Act subsidies. We need
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: to because even those look at what they've done to
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: healthcare availability, which then leads to healthcare in affordability because
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: there's fewer and fewer providers forced to give insurance to
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: people that they wouldn't have otherwise. And you can argue
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: the fact, well, why won't they Because it's a risk.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Guys got seven duys? Do you think an insurance company
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: wants to pick them up?
• 33:37
  Speaker 21: You know?
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: And because we won't say, hey, put the second slice
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: of pizza down. It's just you know, the cholesterol and
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: the high blood pressure medications we were just talking about
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: with pharmacist Bob. How many of those are you taking currently?
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: Has anyone noticed, as anyone old enough or have been
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: paying attention long enough to notice that over the last
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: ten years and twenty years, even more acutely, the standard
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: for which you are considered to have high cholesterol has
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: come down and down and down. Blood pressure numbers have
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: changed so that it's easier for you to become on
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: the spectrum of having high blood pressure. But that's a
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: whole different matter. But these are all government incursions into
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: things that make things unaffordable. Healthcare, automobiles, groceries. All of
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: it is based around the fact that now we have
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: to go after the people make these things to give
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: us money to help pay for the people who can't
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: afford these things, rather than letting them sit with stuff
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: rotting on shelves thinking, hmm, I better lower the price
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: of this, because the other side of lowering the price
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: of this means lowering the cost of manufacturing this. And
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: that's what politicians never want to try to do. They
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: never want to try and when they do, it's even
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: dumber because they'll subsidize the manufacturing of something see the
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: farm bill. And it's just a virus that just keeps
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: growing every time you stamp on it. If you ever
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: read any Doctor Zeus, it's that pink stuff that gets
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: on the wall. In the wonderful book The Cat and
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: the Hat, not the Mike Myers Oh my god, if
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: there was a reason for me to not think the
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Ron Howard Grinch movie wasn't the worst thing ever created.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: The Mike Myers Cat and the Hat movie tops it.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: If nothing, If it does nothing else, it wipes that
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: one from But if you've ever read the book the
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Cat and the Hat and the pink stuff that keeps
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: every time they try to wipe it off, it gets
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: worse and worse and worse. That's a metaphor for government.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know if Ted Guyzel meant it to be,
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: but that's what's happened. Is Thing one and Thing two,
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: Republican one and Democrat two have put got this pink stuff,
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: this pink ink, all over the wall, and try as
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: we will to get it off, it just seems to
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: be getting worse and worse and worse. Let me get
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: to you at four three four eight A two four
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: two one seven. I really hadn't intended to drag poor
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: Ted Guyzell's memory back into this, but uh, it as
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: an analogy as to how subsidies on both supply side
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: and consumer side just make things guaranteedly more expensive. It's
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: it's a pretty good depiction of what what goes on
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Good Morning. You're on the air with Joe. First thing
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: this morning. Who's this good morning, Judge? Joel? Hey Joel,
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: how are you doing in Florida?
• 36:52
  Speaker 23: I'm okay, still on my pursuit, but uh it sounds
• 36:56
  Speaker 23: like soilent green and eggs and ham Sam. I am.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Won't eat soilent green, I am. I won't eat it
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: in a train. I won't eat it on a plane.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: I won't eat it. Because her name was Elaine, you know,
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know whatever it could change it. That's gross,
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: by the way, and I don't know why I picked
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: my wife's name in that. But never mind. What's going
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: on in your world? I'll tell you what hang on
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: to what's going on in your word world, Joel. Because
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: we've got a chance for us to pay our electric
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: bill because we get no government subsidy here ooh no,
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: not us. We have to pay the full freight. And
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: trust me, my three favorite letters these days are f,
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: C and C and I have a whole list of
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: different things that FCC stands for, and none of them
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: can be set on the air lest I ring the
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: bell at the Federal Communications Commission. But that's just my issues.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: I'm here to dine and dance with you this morning
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: and break down the news of the day, so it
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: makes a little sense to you. But beware the affordability
• 37:56

  Speaker 24: for most hard working Americans, this just isn't the case.
• 38:16
  Speaker 24: Why because most people spend more time planning next weekends

  Speaker 22: Is astonished.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: How it from the home of the First Amendment? First
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: thing today?
• 44:20
  Speaker 10: You know?
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: And you know, here's the other side of this affordability
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: issue is just like the phrase the unhoused. The implication
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: is that affordability is something that somebody else does for you,
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: you know. And as we crest into the twenty first century,
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: the expression grandma bakes a lot used to mean a
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: whole different thing in the twentieth century, and my wife
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: is trying to resurrect that because one of the ways
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: we in my household manage affordability is we grow as
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: much as we can. We can what we grow to
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: save it, and we make our own We do our
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: own thing. And my wife has discovered that she is,
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: you know, handy enough at baking. Though she hates math,
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: she bakes and like I said, the phrase grandma bakes
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: like crazy. She isn't a grandma yet, but I think
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: she's preparing to be that grandma that always has the
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: smell of baked goods in the house. But I know
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: in most households in America today, grandma bakes a lot.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: Just means she's got her glaucoma prescription. But Joel knows this.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: Joel follows us on social media, and my wife says,
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: Joel is always the first person to comment when I
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: post a picture of something we cooked or baked. So
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: I don't mean to tease you with all that, Joel,
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: but we appreciate the follow there at Seaville, Joe Thomas,
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: how are you doing this morning? Good?
• 45:51
  Speaker 22: Good?
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she.
• 45:53
  Speaker 23: Cooks some delicious or bakes some delicious looks like bread
• 45:58
  Speaker 23: and scones and oh yeah, answer your second question.
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, well, I mean, you know, yeah, this
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: is I just understand the world we live in. Grandma
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: bakes a lot means a whole different thing today. But anyway,
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: you called for a purpose as we were talking about affordability,
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: and that's just how we do it. I've never made
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: a lot of money, and what I do make, we
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: pour back into the radio station we own so other
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: people can eat. Uh, So we you know, we make
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: do with as little as we need to. I've got
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: a you know, twenty year old cheap that I you know,
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: keep fixing parts on and and as long as it's
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: parts replacement, I can do it and that kind of thing.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: And and we've never been fancy in the first place,
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: but you you shop where you can. It's not a
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: derisive thing. I mean, it's human nature to survive. And
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: and I hope everyone thinks about that, because I think
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: too many people correct me if I'm wrong. Think, you know,
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: things being affordable is somebody else's job to do for them.
• 47:01
  Speaker 23: Well, kind of what you said I wanted to bring up.
• 47:04
  Speaker 23: First of all, there's like two hundred and I think
• 47:06
  Speaker 23: two hundred and twenty five bills that haven't been passed
• 47:10
  Speaker 23: in Congress. And now we're you know, they're talking about
• 47:13
  Speaker 23: the farm bill, and then President Trump and some I
• 47:16
  Speaker 23: guess his followers like our like ourselves, we're not going
• 47:19
  Speaker 23: to go on the tour, but he's going to have
• 47:21
  Speaker 23: a tour kind of to revitalize, re educate people on
• 47:25
  Speaker 23: his topics because the news distorts everything.
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: But I wanted to say this too.
• 47:30
  Speaker 23: The farmers were the people that actually built the country,
• 47:33
  Speaker 23: the farmers and we as we know, George Washington and
• 47:38
  Speaker 23: you know, a few others.
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: But the thing that I don't think a.
• 47:41
  Speaker 23: Lot of people realize is we're talking about a lot
• 47:44
  Speaker 23: of times topics get up about manufacturing jobs and how
• 47:48
  Speaker 23: products are cheaper, and it's it was easier to have
• 47:52
  Speaker 23: that export. But we've done that with farms to Brazil.
• 47:56
  Speaker 23: Other countries have deforceded land. You know, we're we cry about,
• 48:00
  Speaker 23: oh they're going to pollute here, this is that. But
• 48:03
  Speaker 23: farming hasn't been Farming hasn't stayed as you would say, well,
• 48:07
  Speaker 23: you were talking about keeping things at home, baking your
• 48:09
  Speaker 23: own goods. Farming has been you know, corporated, I don't know,
• 48:14
  Speaker 23: how do you say corp industrialized by corporations, and a
• 48:19
  Speaker 23: lot of those farmers or hands are tied by the
• 48:22
  Speaker 23: chemicals they use, the pesticides and fertilizers and all that stuff.
• 48:27
  Speaker 23: To put a bow on this, I think a lot
• 48:29
  Speaker 23: of those farmers would like to go back because the
• 48:32
  Speaker 23: ones that I think that are mostly losing the money
• 48:35
  Speaker 23: are farmers that are dedicated to keeping their agriculture clean
• 48:39
  Speaker 23: and keeping agriculture good. Now, I know the soybean industry
• 48:43
  Speaker 23: that was a big hit because Virginia produces a lot
• 48:46
  Speaker 23: of soybeans. A lot of people don't know about it,
• 48:48
  Speaker 23: but I just wanted to say that I think President
• 48:51
  Speaker 23: Trump knows all these things, wants to bring it back,
• 48:55
  Speaker 23: but he wants to put it in the hands of
• 48:56
  Speaker 23: the farmers, not in the hands of the corporations, because
• 48:59
  Speaker 23: it's a people that built this country, not the government.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: Because we are we the people well and well and
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: you're right, and one of the reasons the corporations have
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: moved in is risk risk management. And you know it's
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: a corporation can fold risk and a farm that got
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: hit by a blight into its portfolio with a bunch
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: of other farms that didn't, whereas if it's just a
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: family and their farm gets hit with a blight and
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: everything is destroyed, they're screwed. And and that's one of
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: the reasons, you know, FDR bought out the farmers who
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: were reliably Republican voters until the Farm Bill came along.
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: And if you think I'm trying to say it was
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: about politics, you're right, But you know, creating a safety
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: net a guarantee, this is the whole Hoffer. So the
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: idea is to have a safety net for farmers who
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: if something unforeseen happens, can survive and can get their
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: next crop in and everything else. It becomes a business,
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: and then after a while that business people start figuring
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: out how to make it into a racket. And that's
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: where we are. It's not that the concept was evil
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: at the onset. Is what's happened is people over time
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: have figured out how to manipulate it to benefit themselves.
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: And that's what needs to be reformed. We need to
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: figure out a way, whether it's time limits on legislation,
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: more follow up on legislation, any number of things to
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: make these bills that we try to do to create
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: safety nets more responsible. I think leaving it in the
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: private sector where insurance could be had. The presumption is
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: you say that now and insurance is very costly. But
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: if you get the government out of all the mandates
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: and all the other things, you will find insurance becomes
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: a lot less costly, becomes a lot more localized. Local
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: banks and those sorts of you know, farm bureaus and
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: things like that would create assurances, and they would also
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: be out there trying to protect farmers from those blights
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: and those kind of things, because we have taken the
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: responsibility away up to a big gray edifice somewhere. You're right,
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: I'd rather.
• 51:25
  Speaker 23: See farmers using real manure from cows, and the manure
• 51:28
  Speaker 23: that the politicians create, well.
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: They can't even get the stuff that's made with natural
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: gas anymore. And that's one of the things you know
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: that you know people, and I hope President Trump addresses this.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: One of the things that has kept the cost of
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: groceries high is the fact that fertilizers still I think
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: it was somewhere along the lines of quadrupled and price
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: during the Biden administration. And you use a lot of
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: that if you're farming. So if you want to bring
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: the cost of groceries down, get the cost of fertilizer
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: under control, and let them use the natural gas and
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: that kind of thing, because they won't. And that's how
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: farms get pushed into selling to the energy companies who
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: turned them into solar fields. And maybe it's not it
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: should be under my folder, not a flaw, but a feature,
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: because a lot of farmers just get out and then
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: the solar panel companies move in.
• 52:22
  Speaker 23: Especially especially to be better for the cow's but than
• 52:25
  Speaker 23: a politician.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: But he said, well, said Joel, you have a great morning, sir,
• 52:31

• 52:54
  Speaker 7: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
