- 8:12Speaker 12: I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
- 8:18Speaker 12: our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to

- 10:01Speaker 14: on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 14: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 14: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:08Speaker 14: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 14: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 10:15Speaker 14: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 10:17Speaker 14: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21Speaker 14: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 10:23Speaker 14: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 10:25Speaker 14: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 10:29Speaker 14: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 10:32Speaker 14: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
- 10:35Speaker 14: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
- 10:38Speaker 14: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
- 10:41Speaker 14: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
- 10:44Speaker 14: variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
- 10:46Speaker 14: help those in need. So please join me an American

- 12:32Speaker 4: first to notice when a veteran you love has been

- 13:24Speaker 3: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Tunk Media Network.
- 13:28Speaker 17: Bob bomb, Bom bom bomb, Iran.
- 13:31Speaker 4: Bomb, bom bom bom bomb.
- 13:33Speaker 8: I ram so as we continue to wallow in the
- 13:38Speaker 8: American press, you applying the same paradigm that they used
- 13:44Speaker 8: in Hamas, or with Hamas, or to Iran. The Associated
- 13:52Speaker 8: Iranian press continues to report on the victimhood of the
- 13:57Speaker 8: poor people of Iran. I wanted to be noted that
- 14:02Speaker 8: in this country, political dissidents, up until say January seventh
- 14:09Speaker 8: of twenty twenty one, generally we're dealt with as somebody
- 14:15Speaker 8: we needed to unspin. Maybe we went into a little
- 14:18Speaker 8: character assassination. You know, that was standard. You know, get
- 14:23Speaker 8: the spin doctors out there, find some compromising photo that
- 14:27Speaker 8: we can make. And now, of course with artificial intelligence,
- 14:29Speaker 8: we can just make any old crazy ass thing we want,
- 14:32Speaker 8: put it up on the Internet and say, look here's
- 14:35Speaker 8: Joe Thomas with a goat. There are actually pictures of
- 14:39Speaker 8: me and goats and donkeys. Here Joe Thomas with a donkey.
- 14:43Speaker 8: I'm standing next to it. But it's how you say it.
- 14:46Speaker 8: It's all in the words you use, and the headline
- 14:50Speaker 8: is really all you need. So it used to just
- 14:52Speaker 8: be character assassination, you know, slander, libel, call your sponsors
- 14:59Speaker 8: that kind of thing. Then you know, January sixth, they
- 15:02Speaker 8: just said, you know what, let's just put them in
- 15:04Speaker 8: prison and not let them see the inside of a
- 15:07Speaker 8: courtroom for several years. Still not hanging from the neck
- 15:13Speaker 8: until you are dead, as much as you know, I'm
- 15:20Speaker 8: absolutely aghast that my country would put people in prison
- 15:25Speaker 8: and not even let them see the inside of the
- 15:27Speaker 8: courtroom for many years, simply because well, they were in
- 15:32Speaker 8: my office without permission. And keeping in mind most of
- 15:36Speaker 8: the people after January sixth were charged with trespassing on
- 15:42Speaker 8: federal property because in order to go into the offices
- 15:46Speaker 8: where your representatives supposedly work for you, you have to
- 15:51Speaker 8: get their permission. Can you imagine your company for a second,
- 15:55Speaker 8: and you might be the entrepreneur, so maybe you'd love
- 15:59Speaker 8: you think me, this is a good idea for your coming.
- 16:03Speaker 8: But imagine working for an organization that said to you
- 16:07Speaker 8: just as an abstract, you can't come into my office
- 16:11Speaker 8: and see what I'm doing. If your employees said to you,
- 16:18Speaker 8: you can't come into the building anymore. We don't like you.
- 16:22Speaker 8: I mean, it's like if Barry Weiss at CBS, Oh,
- 16:25Speaker 8: and we're going to get to CBS News in a
- 16:28Speaker 8: little bit. If let's say the anchors and reporters for
- 16:34Speaker 8: CBS News said to Barry Weiss, we're sorry. We know
- 16:38Speaker 8: the board of directors has hired you to be the
- 16:40Speaker 8: news director, but you're not allowed in anymore. I know
- 16:43Speaker 8: some of them would like to think that. But in Iran,
- 16:47Speaker 8: let's remember the victims of this existential bombing raids is
- 16:53Speaker 8: back and forth missile strikes are the ones who when
- 16:58Speaker 8: somebody protest the power structure, they are either shot on
- 17:05Speaker 8: the spot or, if given the courtesy of a show trial,
- 17:10Speaker 8: hung from the neck until dead.
- 17:12Speaker 17: They said it was and they was right.
- 17:18Speaker 8: So can we dispense with this hole silly? These are
- 17:21Speaker 8: the victims. I know it worked for Hamas, I know
- 17:26Speaker 8: it worked for a little bit for Habola, but let's
- 17:30Speaker 8: remember these are the gig terrorists that have been hired
- 17:33Speaker 8: by the Tyrannian regime to go out and do terror
- 17:38Speaker 8: on their behalf, all the while holding the straight of
- 17:42Speaker 8: Hormuz hostage. And a point I made yesterday towards the
- 17:46Speaker 8: end of the program came to fruition in the newswires
- 17:51Speaker 8: because I know it's common for you to hear me
- 17:54Speaker 8: complain or point out the situation regarding the insurance industries,
- 18:15Speaker 8: that the insurance industry has finally shown up in the
- 18:18Speaker 8: news coverage of the oil prices, because finally the oil
- 18:33Speaker 8: companies are growing a set saying hold it, we're not
- 18:36Speaker 8: the ones in the Strait of Horror Moves that aren't sailing.
- 18:45Speaker 8: The Associated Iranian Press said, no, those Strait of Horror
- 18:49Speaker 8: Moves isn't closed. Ninety ships went through there. They were
- 18:54Speaker 8: Iranian ships. But the people who have closed the Strait
- 19:00Speaker 8: of hor Moves just for a reality check are the
- 19:04Speaker 8: insurance companies who have said to the oil shipping magnates,
- 19:09Speaker 8: you want insurance on a boat that's going to sail
- 19:13Speaker 8: through the Straits of hor Moves, Can I have some
- 19:17Speaker 8: of what you're smoking. I'm not lambasting the insurance industry
- 19:23Speaker 8: for it, but right now, until the Strait of hor
- 19:26Speaker 8: Moves can be guaranteed to be secure, and I truly
- 19:32Speaker 8: think that this is where the promises of boots on
- 19:36Speaker 8: the ground are going to have to be investigated. And
- 19:38Speaker 8: of course our European allies have no interest in helping
- 19:45Speaker 8: us secure shipping through the Strait of hor Moves because
- 19:49Speaker 8: their green lobby is so powerful in their countries that
- 19:53Speaker 8: they're loving it. They're hey, seven dollars a leader for petrol. Ah, yes,
- 19:58Speaker 8: now we can push everyone went back into electric Chinese
- 20:01Speaker 8: made vehicles. But it's the insurance industry that has the
- 20:06Speaker 8: Strait of Horne Moves closed under the auspices of hell
- 20:11Speaker 8: to the know when asked to ensure a tanker full
- 20:16Speaker 8: of oil that has to sail that close to Iran.
- 20:21Speaker 8: Now maybe it's the carg Island that I'm not a tactician.
- 20:25Speaker 8: I'm just telling you what's really going on. Good morning,
- 20:29Speaker 8: you're on the air with Joe. First thing, this Saturday morning.
- 20:31Speaker 8: Who's this?
- 20:33Speaker 2: Hey, this is Moscow, Bob of bright sunny afternoon in Moscow.
- 20:38Speaker 8: All right, Well, I'm glad for that. It's the first
- 20:40Speaker 8: full day of spring here. And I know you guys
- 20:43Speaker 8: said spring started on March first, but you know the
- 20:46Speaker 8: rest of the world is caught up to you now
- 20:47Speaker 8: and we're officially in springtime, springtime for putin in Dawn Bars.
- 20:54Speaker 8: I'm sorry.
- 20:56Speaker 2: I agree with you fully about the Turns company what's
- 21:01Speaker 2: holding the ships from going through horror moods, But I
- 21:04Speaker 2: wanted to change the subject to the so called federal
- 21:08Speaker 2: judge that rule down reporters and that oh with access.
- 21:14Speaker 8: In the Pentagon. Well, I'll tell you what I've got
- 21:16Speaker 8: news coming up here. Since we're going to shift gears
- 21:19Speaker 8: and come up with a new subject without cutting you
- 21:23Speaker 8: off in the first sentence of it, why don't you
- 21:25Speaker 8: hang on the line with us and we can. That
- 21:27Speaker 8: is one of the things on our docketive stuff to
- 21:29Speaker 8: get into, along with CBS Radio News closing down after
- 21:35Speaker 8: almost one hundred years of sharing the news, yet more
- 21:38Speaker 8: broadcast news headlines that make it seem like the very
- 21:42Speaker 8: radio station you're listening to is a dying breed, and
- 21:46Speaker 8: I think there's an intent behind that. There's some pr
- 21:50Speaker 8: to that as well. It kind of goes into the
- 21:52Speaker 8: character assassination. Assassinate radio as a going venture, and then
- 21:57Speaker 8: you'll stop listening to people like me.

- 22:20Speaker 16: already love to do, like exercise. And a stronger heart

- 24:07Speaker 12: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 24:12Speaker 12: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18Speaker 12: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22Speaker 12: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26Speaker 12: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31Speaker 12: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 12: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:42Speaker 12: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 24:45Speaker 12: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 24:50Speaker 12: healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

- 28:18Speaker 8: You don't really need about that. What's done? So it
- 28:22Speaker 8: CBS says, and in true big centralized corporation mentality, it's
- 28:37Speaker 8: your fault. They're shutting down radio broadcast news because they
- 28:41Speaker 8: say you're not interested in Trouble with CBS News closing
- 28:45Speaker 8: its radio news division after one hundred years is it's
- 28:50Speaker 8: based on a lie almost as egregious as the ones
- 28:55Speaker 8: the Iranian government is telling you are associated Iranian press,
- 28:59Speaker 8: making it out that Hamas and the Iranian iatolas are
- 29:03Speaker 8: victims in the world. They're telling you that nobody's listening
- 29:08Speaker 8: to radio anymore, so you should just go away, download
- 29:12Speaker 8: your podcasts and count that as a blessing. And there's
- 29:15Speaker 8: still intentionalities to that. I'll get into the closure of
- 29:19Speaker 8: CBS Radio News in a little while. But Bob was
- 29:23Speaker 8: hanging on the line with US wants to talk about
- 29:25Speaker 8: press access at the Pentagon and the judges ruling yesterday.
- 29:29Speaker 8: In that Bob, thank you for hanging on out there
- 29:32Speaker 8: in Moscow. How are you doing this morning?
- 29:35Speaker 2: Doing good? It's mid afternoon, Oh, that's right, beautiful, it's sunny.
- 29:40Speaker 2: It's about plus nine, which is probably in round forty five.
- 29:46Speaker 8: No, that's equitable.
- 29:49Speaker 2: But my issue is I agree with this judge, and
- 29:53Speaker 2: I think it should be for all the White House
- 29:56Speaker 2: briefings anything to do with the government. And therefore, since
- 29:59Speaker 2: he talked about free speech and not to discriminate against
- 30:04Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and everything else,
- 30:10Speaker 2: that the press conferences should be opened up to ten
- 30:14Speaker 2: press representatives, and it should be changed from every person
- 30:21Speaker 2: that's associated with a radio station or newspaper, school, university, whatever, nationwide,
- 30:29Speaker 2: and everyone should get their turn. So the New York
- 30:33Speaker 2: Times can go today, but then it might be next
- 30:36Speaker 2: year before their term cut their time comes up again.
- 30:40Speaker 8: Oh I see, so like a rotating press pass.
- 30:45Speaker 2: Right, Why not? It's supposed to be freedom everyone. According
- 30:49Speaker 2: to that judge, everyone has the right to speak. And
- 30:53Speaker 2: the Pentagon and the White House and the rules they're
- 30:56Speaker 2: enacting are disabling American journals from talking. So every journalist
- 31:03Speaker 2: should have a chance to attend one of those meetings.
- 31:06Speaker 2: And no more journalists flying the seats on the plane.
- 31:11Speaker 2: The Air Force one rotate them.
- 31:16Speaker 8: Yeah, this is right from the pages. It's beautifully taken
- 31:22Speaker 8: from the pages of Saul Alinsky. It's like, Okay, you know,
- 31:25Speaker 8: make them live up to their rules. If the press
- 31:28Speaker 8: should have access to the Pentagon, make it all the press. Now,
- 31:31Speaker 8: the danger, the peril we run into in this, Bob,
- 31:34Speaker 8: is you've got the DC types who would want to
- 31:37Speaker 8: create a licensure so that they can control who journalists are.
- 31:42Speaker 8: And that's the that's the rubicon that I worry that
- 31:45Speaker 8: they're trundling towards. Because this is when something Obama talked
- 31:51Speaker 8: about trying to do middle of his second term, when
- 31:56Speaker 8: there was a reporter that didn't want to give up
- 31:59Speaker 8: US source on a story that made Obama look bad.
- 32:03Speaker 8: And it had to be second term because the first term,
- 32:06Speaker 8: nobody had the courage to criticize the great you know
- 32:09Speaker 8: and miracle president, you know, a storybook. But by the
- 32:15Speaker 8: second term sometimes some people were starting to question. There
- 32:18Speaker 8: were you know, Fox News and folks like that were
- 32:21Speaker 8: starting to come up Newsmax. So Obama wanted to decry
- 32:27Speaker 8: some reporter and it could have been from Red State,
- 32:29Speaker 8: it could have been from Newsmax in the very early days,
- 32:32Speaker 8: but he was saying that they weren't real journalists, and
- 32:35Speaker 8: that he wanted the Federal Communications Commission to start handing
- 32:41Speaker 8: out journalist licenses and that you would be protected against
- 32:46Speaker 8: coercion regarding your sources if you were a licensed journalist.
- 32:51Speaker 8: Otherwise you would you would not enjoy that protection of
- 32:56Speaker 8: being forced by law to give up who the source
- 33:00Speaker 8: of your news story was. So so it's a very
- 33:02Speaker 8: prickly business when you get into the government and the
- 33:06Speaker 8: news media because they for obvious reasons, they want to
- 33:09Speaker 8: control it.
- 33:12Speaker 2: Right. But the issue is is, according to that judge,
- 33:16Speaker 2: a perrocedure that they're following now is discriminate, discriminatory and
- 33:23Speaker 2: in violation of his court ruling. You know, if you
- 33:26Speaker 2: listen to his ruling, if you read his ruling, he
- 33:29Speaker 2: is saying they cannot set rules. So that means you
- 33:32Speaker 2: cannot automatically select certain people always to attend from each
- 33:37Speaker 2: the same news organizations because that's illegal according to the
- 33:41Speaker 2: judge's ruling.
- 33:42Speaker 8: Right, and make them live up to it. There, But again,
- 33:46Speaker 8: like I said, this would again lead the Pentagon and
- 33:50Speaker 8: the White House, et cetera, to try to license journalists.
- 33:54Speaker 8: They already do it with credentials, you know. Oh well,
- 33:57Speaker 8: you don't have credentials.
- 33:59Speaker 2: I would love to see I would love to see
- 34:01Speaker 2: some high school journalists file a lawsuit in the same
- 34:05Speaker 2: court as that judge, or in any federal court, and
- 34:08Speaker 2: have that judge as a witness and say, pertaining to
- 34:12Speaker 2: his rule, you have to give me the same opportunity
- 34:16Speaker 2: to attend a press briefing as you're giving the same
- 34:20Speaker 2: news organizations every time.
- 34:23Speaker 8: I agree with the O mean, we've seen it across
- 34:25Speaker 8: the county of these political figures don't want to answer
- 34:29Speaker 8: any questions anymore. It has become ridiculous, you know it
- 34:34Speaker 8: is it is. I almost think it's laughable to watch them.
- 34:41Speaker 8: We had the Lieutenant governor here in Virginia was walking
- 34:44Speaker 8: down the hallway of the Capitol building, perhaps the most
- 34:48Speaker 8: important public building in a representative republic. Would you would
- 34:52Speaker 8: you agree? Yes, it is right. So it's the seat
- 34:56Speaker 8: of our government, just like the US capital is where
- 35:00Speaker 8: our employees work for us, but we're not allowed in it.
- 35:04Speaker 8: We learned that on January sixth, two thousand and one.
- 35:07Speaker 8: We're not allowed into our building to see our employees
- 35:12Speaker 8: at their work. So a reporter was in the hallway
- 35:17Speaker 8: of the Virginia Capitol trying to ask Gazala Hashmi a question,
- 35:22Speaker 8: and her security guard literally and I'm not being over
- 35:27Speaker 8: the top on this, grabs him, pushes his arm behind
- 35:30Speaker 8: him like you know you see in these action movies
- 35:33Speaker 8: and slams them up against the wall of the hallway
- 35:37Speaker 8: of the U of the Virginia Capitol Building where Thomas
- 35:40Speaker 8: Jefferson walked at one point in his life. And she
- 35:44Speaker 8: just keeps walking. She won't even acknowledge him there. She
- 35:47Speaker 8: doesn't answer the question, she doesn't say leave me alone,
- 35:50Speaker 8: She ignores the guy completely. That is it should that
- 35:54Speaker 8: video should be shared with everyone, because that's what the
- 35:57Speaker 8: American left thinks of you and me and the reporters
- 36:01Speaker 8: that try to go out and get answers about things.
- 36:04Speaker 2: Pos Hey, you know what it sounds like. It sounds
- 36:06Speaker 2: like that guy was that security guy was probably the
- 36:12Speaker 2: same as Crockett security guard that was just shot and killed.
- 36:16Speaker 8: You know, right, Yeah, I wonder the status.
- 36:21Speaker 2: Let's check the status of this guy actually and mentally
- 36:28Speaker 2: stable to own a gun.
- 36:30Speaker 8: Well, remember this is you know these folks, it's it's
- 36:33Speaker 8: no guns for thee but yes for me and their
- 36:37Speaker 8: their security is armed. Uh, their security is not vetted.
- 36:41Speaker 8: If a police officer grabbed a kid like that in
- 36:44Speaker 8: the streets and pushed them up against the wall, you'd
- 36:46Speaker 8: have leftist like Azala Hashmi marching in the streets with
- 36:50Speaker 8: you know, corporate made placards calling for no justice, no peace.
- 36:56Speaker 2: I know, it's just it's hilarious, and that's why there's
- 37:00Speaker 2: was ruling. When I read it last night early this morning,
- 37:04Speaker 2: I thought it was fantastic and I knew I had
- 37:06Speaker 2: to call you this morning. Yeah, because it's a laughable topic.
- 37:11Speaker 2: It shows what where the USA is going, that we're
- 37:16Speaker 2: heading down the road of the Abyss. As far as
- 37:19Speaker 2: I'm concerned, because I survived, if it keeps acting this way.
- 37:23Speaker 8: Well, it's the reason I started the segment about people
- 37:26Speaker 8: being hung in Iran with a reminder of what happened
- 37:29Speaker 8: after January sixth, I mean, how far removed are we
- 37:32Speaker 8: from public hangings?
- 37:35Speaker 2: Were not that far removed him? Basically we had that
- 37:39Speaker 2: way back with the Tea Party. Wasn't the Tea Party
- 37:41Speaker 2: basically the same as the ten thousand Iranians that were
- 37:47Speaker 2: shot or killed.
- 37:47Speaker 8: Just supposedly, Yeah, they just faced the irs. I mean,
- 37:53Speaker 8: that's what the American government. They said, they go after
- 37:56Speaker 8: I got to run to break Bob good stuff, enjoy

- 44:28Speaker 3: The Tump Media by Thomas s ts ts ts Sherett Smith.
- 44:36Speaker 8: That's right, the news media, CBS closing down news radio
- 44:42Speaker 8: because they say nobody's listening. Nielsen says, no, ninety three
- 44:46Speaker 8: percent of every single person in the United States, well
- 44:50Speaker 8: not ninety three percent of the persons, but ninety three
- 44:53Speaker 8: percent of the population of the United States gets its
- 44:56Speaker 8: news from the radio. But they tell you and the
- 45:00Speaker 8: news stories and all the major papers or Cumulus Broadcasting
- 45:04Speaker 8: is in bankruptcy because no one's listening. CBS Radio News
- 45:11Speaker 8: is closing up their news division because nobody's listening. Yet
- 45:14Speaker 8: the statistics say everybody is listening. Why would they want
- 45:19Speaker 8: people to not listen to the radio news or why
- 45:22Speaker 8: would they want radio news to go away? We will
- 45:27Speaker 8: discuss at some great length. But doctor Clark was calling
- 45:31Speaker 8: in after Bob was done with us and we headed
- 45:33Speaker 8: to break. Uh, so he's hanging on with us. Let
- 45:35Speaker 8: me see what he has first. Good morning, Bob, how
- 45:38Speaker 8: are you doing, sir?
- 45:40Speaker 1: Well, it's Clark, but I'm doing good?
- 45:42Speaker 8: Didn't I say that?
- 45:44Speaker 23: Now?
- 45:44Speaker 8: You said more than Bob?
- 45:45Speaker 23: But I know what you meant.
- 45:47Speaker 8: You called in after Bob. It's I'm sorry. The Ginkgo
- 45:50Speaker 8: Boloba hasn't kicked in yet. It's all good. Where's my
- 45:54Speaker 8: CBD to the radio news anymore? That's what they claim.
- 45:59Speaker 8: You know what that means.
- 46:02Speaker 1: I say, nobody's listening to the radio news anymore.
- 46:05Speaker 8: You know what that means When CBS says that, no,
- 46:08Speaker 8: what do you think it means? I mean nobody's.
- 46:11Speaker 1: Listening to CBS's radio news anymore.
- 46:14Speaker 8: That's right, That's what that means. Ding ding.
- 46:19Speaker 1: What's what aren't you supposed to do with the goose
- 46:21Speaker 1: that lace and gold on that go joe.
- 46:25Speaker 8: But but this is the thing. See, this is overly centralized,
- 46:28Speaker 8: overly corporatized broadcasting. These big chains that send you, you know,
- 46:34Speaker 8: your morning radio show out of Los Angeles or New
- 46:37Speaker 8: York h or they do their news from Chicago and
- 46:41Speaker 8: Saint Louis or Atlanta, and and that's all you're going
- 46:44Speaker 8: to get. Well, you know, and and we wonder why
- 46:47Speaker 8: there's a fixation with the DC politics, Well that's where
- 46:51Speaker 8: these news media headquarters are. And so your morning top
- 46:56Speaker 8: of the hour news is going to be a whole
- 46:58Speaker 8: lot of Trump and Chunk Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries and
- 47:04Speaker 8: Mike Johnson. And you know what you're not going to hear.
- 47:07Speaker 8: There was great story, great story illuminative of this during
- 47:11Speaker 8: the hurricanes of a year and a half ago. You
- 47:13Speaker 8: remember those hurricanes that came up. It was it Charlie
- 47:19Speaker 8: came up through the Gulf, slammed into Florida, came across
- 47:23Speaker 8: you and Alabama there and flooded the bejibbers out of
- 47:27Speaker 8: North Carolina, western North Carolina. And there was a wonderful
- 47:32Speaker 8: story about two guys who stayed on the air for
- 47:35Speaker 8: like fifty six or seventy hours straight at this iHeartMedia
- 47:42Speaker 8: radio station in western North Carolina. And I celebrate those
- 47:45Speaker 8: two individuals for doing it. But what they didn't mention
- 47:49Speaker 8: is that that was the sales manager and the chief engineer.
- 47:53Speaker 8: That they weren't the newsroom staff. There wasn't a newsroom staff.
- 47:57Speaker 8: It's just they were darn lucky in western North Carolina
- 48:01Speaker 8: that these two guys knew enough about radio to say,
- 48:04Speaker 8: oh my gosh, the excrement has hit the air handler.
- 48:07Speaker 8: We need to stay on the air. And the engineer
- 48:09Speaker 8: had to you know, reconnect the studio to the live
- 48:13Speaker 8: transmitter so that they could do it. You know, we're
- 48:17Speaker 8: abdicating this because it's cheaper, all these things. Barry Weiss,
- 48:22Speaker 8: whatever her political lean is, she's shutting down the CBS
- 48:26Speaker 8: Radio news division because it's cheaper and news is always expensive.
- 48:31Speaker 8: Trust me, I own a news station. I know how
- 48:34Speaker 8: expensive news is. We're not even up to full song yet.
- 48:37Speaker 8: I mean, you have to pay reporters. You have to
- 48:40Speaker 8: pay reporters. If you're not paying them a salary, you're
- 48:42Speaker 8: paying them per installation. We all know what happened with
- 48:45Speaker 8: Carl Marx when he wasn't happy with the amount that
- 48:48Speaker 8: the New York Tribune was paying him per story.
- 48:52Speaker 23: You know.
- 48:52Speaker 8: So, but you have to find a way to pay
- 48:54Speaker 8: people for their work. And it takes a lot of
- 48:57Speaker 8: human beings to go out there and find the news
- 49:00Speaker 8: stories so that you can put them on the air.
- 49:03Speaker 8: So you need to have ways of creating capital and there.
- 49:08Speaker 8: The more these big companies cut costs, the worse the
- 49:12Speaker 8: product gets. And I don't mean to run home to
- 49:15Speaker 8: Mama every time this happens. But when I used to
- 49:18Speaker 8: work in chain restaurants, when I used to run my
- 49:21Speaker 8: own Burger King restaurant, and it would be a slow day,
- 49:25Speaker 8: maybe it was pouring rain or it was just a
- 49:27Speaker 8: slow time, and somebody would say, you need to send
- 49:30Speaker 8: people home because we need to cut payroll. And I
- 49:34Speaker 8: would say, I don't know. You know, the rain's going
- 49:36Speaker 8: to stop, and then it's going to get busier than
- 49:38Speaker 8: you know. You know what, when everyone can finally come
- 49:41Speaker 8: out and it didn't matter, you have to send them home.
- 49:44Speaker 8: We have too many people on the floor right now. Yeah,
- 49:47Speaker 8: but I've got them doing projects. This one's cleaning the bathrooms,
- 49:50Speaker 8: this one's cleaning the parking lot, this one's doing another project. No,
- 49:54Speaker 8: you need to send them home, get them off payroll now,
- 49:56Speaker 8: and inevitably a rush would come in and the service
- 50:02Speaker 8: would be bad and the bathrooms would be bad. It
- 50:05Speaker 8: is why chain restaurants are failing because that Matt paradigm.
- 50:08Speaker 8: But it's the same paradigm that Barry Weiss and all
- 50:11Speaker 8: these corporate broadcasters are using.
- 50:15Speaker 1: That's where people end up saving Nichols and losing dollars.
- 50:19Speaker 8: Yeah, it's erectly right, that's exactly right.
- 50:22Speaker 1: Let's talk for a minute about the Iranians hanging people, all.
- 50:26Speaker 8: Right, hang on to that one second. I've got line
- 50:28Speaker 8: two ringing in here, so let me get line two
- 50:31Speaker 8: on hold, and then you tell us what what's going
- 50:32Speaker 8: on there. Good morning, you're on the air here on
- 50:35Speaker 8: First Thing today with Joe Thomas. You're you are officially
- 50:38Speaker 8: getting put into the queue here. But I wanted to
- 50:40Speaker 8: let you know I wasn't disregarding you. Who's this, Hey,
- 50:44Speaker 8: Jud's Joel.
- 50:45Speaker 23: I'm not laughing.
- 50:46Speaker 10: I'm just laughing because it was good.
- 50:50Speaker 8: That's what the girls used to tell me in high school.
- 50:52Speaker 8: We're not laughing at you, We're laughing with you. Hang on,
- 50:56Speaker 8: hang on to the line. I want to hear what
- 50:57Speaker 8: Clark has to say, and then we'll come right to you. Okay,
- 51:00Speaker 8: Oh yes, go ahead, Clark. So what was your thought?
- 51:04Speaker 1: Okay, the Iranian regime hanging people, as distasteful as it
- 51:10Speaker 1: might be, sometimes, Joe, you need to be able to
- 51:13Speaker 1: put yourself in the other guy's shoes.
- 51:16Speaker 8: Okay, Okay.
- 51:19Speaker 1: What's the Iranian regime's exit strategy? What's their golden parachute
- 51:25Speaker 1: if they're not if they're no longer in power, what's
- 51:29Speaker 1: their best case scenario Joe, that.
- 51:32Speaker 8: They stay as a religious sect within the country.
- 51:36Speaker 23: Yeah.
- 51:37Speaker 1: No, I would say their best case scenario is beheading
- 51:40Speaker 1: because that would be quick.
- 51:43Speaker 8: Oh you mean, like whoever takes over beheads them all
- 51:47Speaker 8: in the town square the people.
- 51:50Speaker 1: Where did Menino Mussolini end up with three days after
- 51:54Speaker 1: his demise, hanging from a lamp post where people could
- 51:58Speaker 1: chuck rocks at him. Now we're talking about a regime
- 52:03Speaker 1: that has mutilated little girls, tortured and beaten women to
- 52:09Speaker 1: death for showing their hair, send women to rape prison
- 52:14Speaker 1: because their attire was improper, you know, if you're going
- 52:19Speaker 1: to have a brutal police state, Joe, you've got to
- 52:22Speaker 1: be willing to kill lots of people, and somehow or another,
- 52:27Speaker 1: it creates resentment in people when you do that. I
- 52:30Speaker 1: don't know, go figure, But when they're no longer in power,
- 52:37Speaker 1: who did that song? Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide,
- 52:40Speaker 1: it's going to be like that.
- 52:42Speaker 8: Oh yeah, seems like it. I'm coming up on the
- 52:45Speaker 8: news here, doctor Clark. Good stuff, my friend. You have
- 52:47Speaker 8: a great weekend and.
- 52:48Speaker 1: Much more good stuff, But go to the news.
