Speaker 1: Fiant.

Speaker 2: I'm more Megan now make America great again than I've
0:07
ever been.
0:07
Speaker 1: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
0:12
the second most Famous Thomas and Charlottsmith.
0:37
Speaker 3: Welcome to it, Texsty, the day of the week where
0:39
we celebrate all the gifts God has bestowed upon you.
0:43
Whether the people who hold office believe you have them
0:46
or not, they are there.
0:48
Speaker 4: Trust me. I have a radio show. I really choked
0:53
on that.
0:54
Speaker 3: So what do you do with these gifts God's Well,
0:58
you school up in them. You find a way to
1:00
apply them to your community, who will obviously reward you
1:04
justly for them, and then you don't have to worry
1:07
about the rest of them. Just worry about the ones
1:12
that worry about you. You'll be rich beyond your wildest
1:17
dreams of Avarice. Much much to do today, obviously, one
1:22
of the big stories is the National Guard going to Chicago.
1:26
The former mayor there, Lori Lightfoot, said.
1:30
Speaker 5: This is not about violent crime, and I don't think
1:33
we should pretend that this manufactured crisis and his attempt
1:38
to provoke people in Chicago is legitimate exercise of power.
1:42
Speaker 6: It is not.
1:43
Speaker 3: So let's then, what were the six dead people and
1:48
the thirty that were injured in gun violence events over
1:54
the weekend. Lolori, if it weren't, you're saying we made
1:59
that up. The press would never make up numbers like
2:03
that just to make a narrative. Certainly not, but just
2:08
to make us forget that. She said that, forgetting that,
2:11
we have pause buttons on our video.
2:14
Speaker 4: She then went on to.
2:15
Speaker 5: Say this coming into Chicago with troops would violate the
2:19
posse comatas ad and he would find the same result
2:25
as he did in La and in California. If he
2:28
really cared about violent crime, go after the gun manufacturers
2:33
who are just mass producing these weapons and have no
2:36
liability or accountability.
2:38
Speaker 3: Go go after the gun manufacturers. It's it's wonderful when
2:42
they go run home to Mama. So, now Lori Lightfoot
2:46
wants Donald Trump to marshall if I'm understanding you correctly, Laurie,
2:52
you want to want President Trump to marshal the National Guard,
2:55
but have them march on Smith and Wesson. You want
3:00
to go to Keltech in Florida. Right, we'll get into
3:06
that four three four eight eight two four two one seven,
3:09
But before we can discuss the things of this morning,
3:12
here are our first things. United Nations warning of an
3:19
exponential rise and casualties, as crews in Afghanistan have now
3:25
found fourteen hundred dead from the.
3:27
Speaker 4: Earthquake earlier in the week.
3:29
Speaker 3: Taliban says that more than three thousand people have been injured.
3:35
The US military killed eleven people on a vessel carrying
3:39
drugs in the Southern Caribbean, President Trump said. Earlier this morning,
3:45
US military forces conducted a kinetic strike against a positively
3:49
identified trend de Argua Narco terrorists in the South Calm
3:53
area of responsibility. President Trump, when he announced that they
3:59
were moving Space Force from Colorado Springs to Alabama, pointed
4:04
to Colorado's reliance on mail in ballots. The problem I
4:09
have with Colorado, one of the big problems is they
4:12
do mail in voting, so they have automatically crooked elections, security, sovereignty, tariffs, trade,
4:24
and drugs not necessarily at the duty free shop. But
4:27
this is what Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, is overseas
4:31
to discuss with the leaders of Mexico and Ecuador today.
4:36
Unions representing thousands of government employees at the National Weather
4:40
Service in the US Patent and Trademark Office both under
4:44
the Commerce Department, filed a lawsuit against the administration over
4:48
its executive order expanding the list of federal agencies and
4:52
to strip them of their collective bargaining rights. A federal
4:57
appeals court Tuesday vacated lower court ruling requiring the EPA
5:02
and City Bank continue funding sixteen billion dollars in climate
5:08
related grants. Federal Judge Charles Bryer, appointed by Bill Clinton
5:16
in nineteen ninety seven and San Francisco, ruled that the
5:20
Trump administration violated federal law in the use of National
5:24
Guard troops amid the Southern California Immigrations enforcement operations and
5:30
accompanying protests.
5:35
Speaker 4: Vice President J. D.
5:36
Speaker 3: Vance is going to visit Minneapolis today to pay his respects.
5:40
In the wake of last week's shooting at Annunciation Catholic School,
5:45
two children dead. Vance's office announced that he and his
5:50
wife will do a hold a series of private meetings
5:54
and dinners, and the House Committee on Oversight and Reform
5:58
released thirteen pages of EPSTEIN documents.
6:06
Speaker 7: Hi this is Bud Foster, co host of Foster and

Speaker 11: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
8:07
bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
8:13
am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
8:18
optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
8:22
nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
8:26
reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
8:32
The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
8:37
has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
8:42
cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
8:46
in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
8:51
healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

9:02
Speaker 12: I'm Andrew Saul, Commission of Self Security. I'm here to
9:05
warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
9:10
Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
9:13
will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
9:17
personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
9:21
are not from US. Real solid security employees will never
9:25
threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
9:29
call like this, hang up. Never give the call of
9:33
your personal information like your Social Security number or bank account,
9:37
or send money in any form cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
9:42
or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
9:46

9:58
Speaker 13: Hi everybody, I'm Jackhanna and it's always a boy. Growing
10:01
up on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
10:04
I'm not only in all of their beauty and kindness,
10:06
but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
10:08
birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
10:12
who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
10:15
who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
10:17
for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
10:21
them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
10:23
of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
10:25
best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
10:29
at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
10:32
perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
10:35
at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
10:38
from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
10:41
a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
10:44
variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
10:46
help those in need. So please join me an American
10:49
Humane and supporting our heroic working dogs and all the
10:52
amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go to

11:00
Speaker 14: Bruh, that's buzzed. Oh yeah, Yeah, he's starting with the
11:03
woots and now a speech.
11:06
Speaker 15: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
11:10
art and brain.
11:12
Speaker 6: Who's with me?
11:13
Speaker 14: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
11:15
brain is saying when it's time to go home.
11:18
Speaker 16: Somebody call me a ride. Love that guy, me too.
11:21
Speaker 17: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
11:23
it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
11:29
Speaker 18: Did you know that more than half our household energy
11:31
costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
11:35
good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
11:39
One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
11:42
energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
11:46
learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
11:49
That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
11:53
leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
11:56
improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs when
12:00
you shop for a new appliance, look for the energy
12:03
Star logo and read the energy guide label. And there
12:06
are day to day things you can do. Lower your
12:09
thermostat and winter and raise it in the summer. Close
12:12
fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep air
12:15
filters clean. For more tips on saving money by reducing
12:19
your energy waste, check out FTC dot gov slash green,

12:29
Speaker 19: As a family member or friend, you may be the
12:32
first to notice when a veteran you love has been
12:35
going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
12:40
anger could be a sign of a larger health concern,
12:44
but help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
12:49
at makethconnection dot net and learn how you can support
12:52
the veterans.
12:53
Speaker 20: In your life.
12:54
Speaker 19: Treatment works, recovery is possible.
13:12
Speaker 4: For you.
13:13
Speaker 1: From Joe Thomas, it's first thing today.
13:18
Speaker 6: It's a power.
13:40
Speaker 15: It is not coming into shappo with trup with violent.
13:48
Speaker 5: And he would find the same result as he did
13:51
in l a and in California. If you really cared
13:54
about violent crime, go after the gun manufacturers who are
13:58
just mass producing these weapons no liability or accountability. Go
14:03
after the gun stores that know that they're selling to
14:06
straw purchaser, the flood to our city. Past common sense
14:11
gun reform.
14:12
Speaker 3: You mean, like the ones that say if a gun
14:13
store sells to somebody they know to be a straw
14:16
seller that they could be punished for. You mean, common
14:18
sense laws like that Mayor Lightfoot, that's a former Chicago
14:27
mayor Lori Lightfoot on one of the shows with one
14:31
of the people, I forget you. They all run together,
14:34
it's all, you know, it's it's not the panel show
14:36
on CNN. That's you know, five Loonies and Scott. But
14:42
and we have clips of that one too. That's fun too.
14:45
But because they say some interesting things about the government
14:48
owning parts of businesses, because apparently the young.
14:52
Speaker 4: Turks are all for that.
14:54
Speaker 3: But some fun facts for you on the National Guard
14:57
and far be it for me, because I've believe this
15:00
judge Brier is related to the one that was on
15:04
the Supreme Court. And it's just you know, Bill Clinton,
15:11
you know, loved the family. Maybe they gave him a
15:13
lot of money.
15:14
Speaker 9: I don't know.
15:15
Speaker 3: But you know, when you when you go in front
15:17
of a federal court judge that Bill Clinton pointed to
15:20
serve in San Francisco and you're Donald Trump, you were
15:26
just you were really just making the case so that
15:30
you when you go on appeal, is the judge in
15:34
San Francisco said he was wrong to send the National
15:37
Guard into San Francisco. And here's the extrapolative logic that
15:43
they're using on this, because law enforcement, because law enforcement
15:48
made arrests in the presence of the National Guard, the
15:52
National Guard then were therefore participants in the arrests, which
15:56
they're not allowed to do. That's that's the entire leap
16:00
of legal logic that they're making in these court presentations.
16:05
Here's a couple of fun facts. And I don't see
16:08
anyone else in the media pointing this out. See it's
16:12
commonly thought, especially if you just kind of get pop
16:15
culture view of the president and the National Guards, you
16:18
have to have the governor call up the National Guard.
16:22
Speaker 4: No, No, not anymore.
16:23
Speaker 3: Not since January eleventh, twenty ten, when an executive order
16:27
was written by the President at the time insert name.
16:31
Speaker 4: The initials are boh.
16:34
Speaker 3: Executive order establishing a Council of Governors to strengthen the
16:43
President's connection with the state governor governments to make it
16:48
more efficient for them to apply the National.
16:51
Speaker 4: Guard when needed.
16:54
Speaker 3: Now, my Governor, Glenn Youngin is on this council now,
16:58
but it's a bypart of group of governors that are
17:04
the ones who authorized the president's use of the National Guard.
17:08
Fun fact for you. Fun fact also civil unrest. One
17:12
of the reasons a governor can call up the National
17:15
Guard seems like they're civil unrest. In Chicago asked the
17:19
six families of the dead people from last weekend. But
17:24
enough about me, let's talk about you.
17:26
Speaker 4: What do you think of me?
17:28
Speaker 3: Four three four eight a two four two one seven
17:31
year old with Joe Thomas. First thing this morning?
17:33
Speaker 4: Who's this? Hey?
17:35
Speaker 3: This is Bob Hi Bob in Moscow?
17:39
Speaker 21: Yes, sir kid, Hey, is that the same Lori Lightfoot
17:43
that wouldn't let us go to church or go to
17:45
the doctor or have surgery, but she was allowed to
17:48
go out and get her hair, always styled professionally and
17:52
was out and about during COVID.
17:54
Speaker 3: To be fair, if she was paying somebody to do
17:57
her hair like that, she was she was getting ripped off.
18:00
So I mean that was kind of you know. But yes,
18:02
the same Rory Lightfoot that did that.
18:06
Speaker 21: And the same Lori Lightfoot that was investigating the Dalton
18:10
mayor that was taking tens of thousands of that one
18:13
hundreds of thousands of dollars from the city and has
18:16
come up with no answer.
18:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, that same one couldn't find couldn't find anyone. Maybe
18:22
she's afraid the National Guard will find out what happened
18:24
to all that money.
18:27
Speaker 21: Well, maybe still find out what she did. But this
18:30
shows the same old This shows Chicago politics, in Illinois politics,
18:37
way back to Mayor Daily, the first Mayor Daily, when
18:40
I and they had the Democratic riots. It's you pay
18:45
to play, and this is what's going on. And it's
18:48
sad that the inner city people, the African Americans, are
18:53
allowing this to happen, allowing their lives to be put
18:56
like they are now. They're no more less slaves than
19:00
what the Democrats had during slavery. They're abusing and taking
19:05
advantage of these poor, smart, elderly African American people.
19:10
Speaker 3: No, let's not forget that. The Chicago Sun Times. The
19:15
National Examiner found the story front page news in the
19:18
Chicago Sun Times of an eighty six year old woman
19:23
getting kicked out of her apartment in a Chicago December
19:27
by what they referred to as quote quoting the Chicago
19:31
Sun Times the worst slum lord in Chicago history, and
19:35
in the story they frequently refer to quotes sent to
19:39
the newspaper by the worst slum lord in Chicago history's lawyer,
19:45
Barack h.
19:46
Speaker 4: Obama.
19:47
Speaker 3: And so this family and then of course the administration
19:51
of Chicago's government with Valerie Jarrett, who then grew into
19:56
administering America's government for twelve years under Barry and jo
20:03
This machine and you used the right word, Bob is
20:07
just about control. It's about moving the money to the
20:11
right people at the right time who've done the right
20:14
things to deserve a favor.
20:17
Speaker 21: And think about it in a roundabout way, Barack Obama
20:22
is no different than Bobby. He was groomed to what
20:25
he is, because I don't believe as a youngster, as
20:29
a teenager, even starting as a college student, he was
20:32
that way. I really don't. I think he was groomed
20:36
into what he is. And that's why he and Michelle
20:39
have issues together because she's not necessarily like him.
20:44
Speaker 3: Well, remember he grew up in I can't remember which protectorate.
20:49
It might have been Guam, but it was a US
20:52
protectorate with a single mom who's the sperm donor had
20:57
abandoned her and left her holding the baby, and she
21:01
was relying on government support to help. You know, raise
21:05
this young you know, future president, and you know, and
21:08
that should be a heroic story of somebody who's overcoming
21:11
that kind of poverty to become president of the United States.
21:15
But no, when he got there, it was it was
21:17
a life of mom complaining that the government wasn't doing enough.
21:22
So gosh darn't it. When Barry and Michelle and Valerie
21:26
got control, they were going to make sure the government
21:28
did more for poor people.
21:32
Speaker 21: Right, And the government's not doing enough for poor people
21:35
because all the funds that are giving suppulsedly the poor
21:40
people are going into pockets of slum lords and those
21:43
taking advantage of the poor people.
21:45
Speaker 3: Shocked, shocked you are that that that kind of thing
21:48
could be going on all Who would have figured they
21:51
that's a that's a new scenario. We've we've never seen
21:54
anything like that before. Easy federal government money. Oh man,
21:58
Who would have Who would have imagined that that's what
22:00
would have happened to.
22:01
Speaker 4: Let's see if.
22:02
Speaker 2: Something costs less but people are happier with it, that
22:05
sounds like something to look into. And that is meta share.
22:08
Maybe you've heard switching to metas share to pay for
22:11
healthcare can save many families up to five hundred bucks
22:14
a month, and that is huge. But it's also true
22:16
that people are way more satisfied after making the switch too.
22:19
The members satisfaction rate for meta share is double that
22:23
of the typical health insurance plan. Double. Meta Share works too.
22:26
It's been around for thirty years. Members have shared more
22:29
than five billion dollars of each other's bills. People love
22:32
having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network. So yeah,
22:36
really you can save a ton and like it better.
22:38
Imagine being happy with how you're taking care of your
22:40
health care. So if you're self employed or part of

Speaker 11: Considered by most, Optimized curcumin is one of the few
24:07
bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
24:13
am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
24:18
optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
24:22
nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
24:26
reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
24:31
The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
24:37
has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
24:42
cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
24:46
in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
24:51
healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

26:26
costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
26:30
good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
26:34
One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
26:37
energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
26:41
learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
26:44
That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
26:47
leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
26:51
improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
26:55
when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
26:57
energy Star logo and read the energy guide label. And
27:01
there are day to day things you can do. Lower
27:04
your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,
27:07
close fireplace stampers when they're not in use, and keep
27:10
air filters clean. For more tips on saving money by

28:25
the envelope there with that whole dissertation on what happens
28:29
when somebody else's money winds up in the wrong person's pocket,
28:33
like Laurie Lightfoot. You you really, you know, you're shocking
28:36
paradigms there.

Speaker 21: I know, I better sit down, and you know, I'm

28:45
Speaker 4: That's right, that's right.
28:46
Speaker 3: I mean, you're really breaking paradigms here, Bob.
28:50
Speaker 21: I mean, look at the healthcare Look at the healthcare system. Yeah,
28:53
the inner city blacks have been screwed. How can Governor
28:58
Cuomo be running or governor or for mayor or city
29:02
or whatever the heck he mayor of New York after
29:05
after all the elderly people he killed during COVID by
29:09
sending them from the hospital back to the nursing homes,
29:12
forcing them back to infect more people. I'd like to
29:15
see Donald Trump investigate that.
29:19
Speaker 4: Well.
29:19
Speaker 3: It should be part and parcel of all the COVID
29:21
investigations is looking into all of the different state response.
29:25
Governor Northam here in Virginia closing down businesses by using
29:30
the health Department and the alcoholic Beverage Commission, the the
29:36
I think it was Wisconsin where General Assembly just changing
29:39
their election laws without ever going through the deliberative process,
29:43
all of these things just because a virus that didn't
29:46
turn out to be any worse than a flu virus.
29:51
Speaker 21: Right, And so where where is where is Eric Adams?
29:55
Where is this other communists? Why aren't they bringing what
29:58
Governor Cormoll did out in the limelights to get better?
30:03
How can Cuomo be getting so much backing the only
30:06
reason he's running He doesn't really want to win. He
30:10
wants all that money that all the donators are given
30:12
to his campaign because he and Chris Cuomo have lost
30:16
a lot of their income.
30:18
Speaker 3: No, sure, absolutely, And and that's the thing. As soon
30:21
as you lose the teller of power, the people with
30:24
the money for the people with their hands on the
30:26
teller of power, find somebody else. And it's a wake
30:29
up call. Pretty it's pretty stark. They're good stuff, Bob.
30:32
You have a great day, sir. They actually reminded me
30:38
of a story out of New York. One of the
30:40
candidates for New York City mayor has just dropped out
30:45
and and endorsed Andrew Cuomo, saying that that if we
30:51
have this plurality, let me see if I can get
30:53
this direct quote here, that that if we if New
30:58
York City does have just a race between Mam Donnie
31:03
and Cuomo, Mam Donnie will win. And he made a
31:09
great point about the straw man that would be running
31:14
the city. So as Jim Walden dropped out and asked
31:20
both Curtis Sliwa and Eric Adams to do the same
31:26
to unite against Zorhan mad Money, this was his quote
31:32
for those still trailing in the polls by month's end,
31:35
I implore each of you to consider how history will
31:39
judge them if they allow vanity or stubborn ambition to
31:44
usher in mister Mamdanie, Walden wrote. He warned that Mam
31:50
Donnie Democratic socialists would represent quote a trojan horse taking
31:55
over city Hall. Yeah, don't even start with me on
32:00
who was inside the trojan horse.
32:01
Speaker 4: Okay, just stop.
32:06
Speaker 3: Adding that time was slipping away for an alternative option.
32:10
To gain momentum in the crowded field, Walden, an attorney
32:14
who has represented Robert F. Kennedy Junior and Connor McGregor,
32:19
had positioned himself as a free market technocrat.
32:25
Speaker 4: I don't think that's possible. I don't think you don't think,
32:31
I mean, do you? If nothing else?
32:33
Speaker 3: Walden probably doesn't understand what at least two of the
32:37
words in that phrase mean. But I just somebody, Andy, Andy,
32:43
you know this stuff, Andy down Florida, Andy, if you're listening,
32:47
How can you be a free market technocrat any anyway?
32:52
I thought technocrats as I studied it, or the people
32:56
who wanted an expert class dictating how things were done,
33:01
that's not free market just saying anyway. But he dropped out,
33:07
and he wants Eric Adams and Curtis Sliwa to drop
33:12
out as well and put all of their support behind
33:16
Cuomo the second.
33:19
Speaker 4: So that he can.
33:20
Speaker 3: Grab on to the rump of the race and really,
33:25
you know, give it what for, you know, teach it
33:29
a real lesson about who's who's a seasoned politician. I
33:34
know he's just groping in the dark right now, but
33:37
you know that sometimes you grab onto something when you're
33:40
groping in the dark, right, Governor Cuomo, So he.
33:44
Speaker 4: Wants to.
33:46
Speaker 3: He wants to have this dropout challenge. I don't think
33:49
it'll be as popular as the ice bucket challenge was,
33:56
but remember, you know, the flight from New York has
33:59
left a lot of people behind who don't have a lot.
34:05
Mandani has spoken in past about trying to find ways
34:09
to tax people who are no longer in New York City.
34:13
We've seen this in other places where democratic socialists have
34:17
taken power, like Charlottesville, Virginia, where they found a way
34:21
to tax businesses that left the city because every time
34:26
they interacted with somebody in the city, there was a fee,
34:30
a surcharge for doing that. Even if you didn't actually
34:33
come into the city. If your internet interactions with a
34:37
client took you into the city, they were able to
34:43
grab hold of your tax dollars. Even if you never
34:46
set foot in the city, even if you moved your
34:48
business out of the city, they still found a way
34:51
to get your tax money. Good morning here on the
34:53
air with Joe Thomas. First thing this Ted Steve morning.
34:56
Speaker 4: Who's this.
34:58
Speaker 24: Reason to have such alarm?
35:00
Speaker 4: For five am?
35:01
Speaker 3: Hey, Andy, I was hoping you were out there you
35:04
so frequently are, But am I wrong that the phrase?
35:10
Speaker 24: Well, first of all, the free market is unencumbered by
35:14
anything other than people with excess production wanting to find
35:20
a good place for it.
35:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, That's what I always was taught. So you can't
35:24
really have a technocrat who wants you know, government or
35:27
an expert class controlling the marketplace. You can't have a
35:31
free market techno crat, can you.
35:34
Speaker 9: No.
35:35
Speaker 24: And Woodrow Wilson was the first. He was also president
35:40
of Princeton and also governor of New Jersey, and it
35:45
turned out to be like the worst president of all,
35:49
which is pretty bad.
35:52
Speaker 3: Well, he was the one that really picked up on
35:53
the fear and used the white sheets much in the
35:57
same way the Chancellor of Germany used the brown shirt
36:00
to scare people into giving up their liberty to his
36:04
federal government authority.
36:05
Speaker 4: And he began that growth of d C power.
36:10
Speaker 24: And I think that a lot of the rewrite of
36:13
history just you know, escapes all of this. You know,
36:17
if you go back to you know, the Chancellor of Germany,
36:22
I mean Germany and the Russian Empire and you know,
36:28
the French Empire, they all had a little deal going
36:31
for probably a thousand years or so, and there was
36:36
relative peace, you know, and they kind of accepted.
36:39
Speaker 25: Each other's turf, if you will.
36:43
Speaker 4: Didn't invade.
36:44
Speaker 24: And you know that when when the communists took over,
36:49
you know, just when there was that overflow at Saint Petersburg, Uh,
36:55
you know, when they murdered all those royals that, you know,
37:00
that was just the communists beginning to trick their ugly heads.
37:05
Speaker 3: Well, and part of it was the the the the
37:08
elites had overplayed their hand in a lot of ways.
37:11
They ignored poverty rather than trying to do something about it.
37:16
And you know, I kind of manifest in Marie Antoinette's
37:19
let them Eat cake when she was told the peasants
37:22
had no bread, you know, and and and that is
37:26
you know, historical fact. But you know, the the biggest
37:31
lie that we're told is that we can't do for ourselves.
37:34
That's that's the part that's the insidious bit that the
37:38
technocrack comes in on is that that Barack Obama, uh,
37:43
you didn't build it kind of stuff where if if
37:46
you want to do something, you're not going to be
37:48
able to do it on your own, which which to
37:50
be fair, is mostly true, but it's not true that
37:54
you need the government to do it for you need
37:56
you know, people to help along the process.
38:01
Speaker 16: In twenty twenty four, the American Heart Association celebrates one
38:05
hundred years of life saving service as the world's leading
38:07
nonprofit organization focused on heart and brain health. Heart disease
38:12
still kills more people in the United States each year
38:14
than all types of cancer combined, but more than half
38:17
of Americans are unaware of this fact, according to a
38:20
recent Harris Pole survey conducted for the American Heart Association. However,
38:25
the majority of heart disease is preventable. New research has
38:28
improved the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of heart disease and
38:32
its risk factors. Efforts led by the American Heart Association
38:35
have reduced deaths from heart disease by half over the
38:38
past century and helped people with heart disease live longer
38:41
and more productive lives while managing their condition and risk factors.

41:23
your risk for type two diabetes and heart disease, and

Got a speaking engagement this afternoon. At noon, Andy was
44:38
hanging out with us and we were talking about this
44:41
this New York city, you know, and sometimes I think
44:43
we just get to this place Andy, where you know,
44:46
we just say stuff, We just say stuff. Oh, I'm
44:49
a free market technocrat. Sorry, it's like saying you're a
44:53
free market communist. Those words don't work together. But you know,
44:59
but there is a way the free market could help
45:01
in poverty, and that was one of the things we
45:03
went to the State Policy Network talking about free market
45:06
ways to fix poverty. Right.
45:09
Speaker 24: You know, people used to apprentice themselves. You know, for
45:12
probably four hundred years ago. It was pretty common.
45:14
Speaker 4: Sure, it was the way.
45:16
Speaker 24: It was the way to go trade or the wood
45:18
you know, working trade.
45:20
Speaker 3: It was actually how most people got jobs was they
45:23
apprenticed with somebody that you know, they had some skill
45:26
at and and if they were good with wood, they'd
45:28
go find the carpenter and go apprentice with them. Yeah,
45:31
I mean that was most of how all jobs were given.
45:35
Speaker 24: So we have a an amazing person's probably the greatest

46:02
three the the Meano Academy. But you know that that's
46:07
the good part of you know, having a not for
46:11
profit situation.
46:13
Speaker 3: Well it's also the reason we have not for profits
46:15
because you know, you're doing something that not isn't necessarily
46:18
driven by commerce. You're you're driven by you know, teaching.
46:24
Speaker 14: You know.
46:24
Speaker 3: And this is why schools universities are set up as
46:27
five oh one c three is because you're not supposed
46:29
to be worried about making a profit. You're supposed to
46:32
be worried about providing the education.
46:35
Speaker 24: Well, and education is at the top of the list
46:39
for even us old people.
46:42
Speaker 3: Oh, you're still kicking pretty strong there, Andy, I appreciate
46:46
your call.
46:48
Speaker 25: Yeah, and I do set my alarm yeah for five Well, yeah,
46:55
keep winning the fight because we're we're winning.
46:59
Speaker 24: They just don't know, you know.
47:01
Speaker 3: And that's the most important thing is you look at
47:04
the election results, and right now all of this is
47:06
significant sound and fury signifying that we're still a year
47:10
away from the midterms and they're just trying to lay
47:14
the groundwork. I don't think they're going to win the
47:16
governor's race, despite the guy on CNN or whoever it
47:19
was saying there was a ninety six percent chance that
47:22
Abigail Spanberger was going to win. That's going to be
47:25
a dewey beats Truman kind of moment, I have a feeling.
47:29
Speaker 24: Well, that'll be fun to watch. And I'm more concerned
47:33
with the things that they're doing with the abortions and
47:39
or potentially in virgin.
47:41
Speaker 4: Oh sure, Oh yeah. Absolutely.
47:45
Speaker 3: Abortion is murder, no no, and they're going to allow
47:48
it right up to the moment of birth. If we
47:50
don't vote against some things. I know those people who
47:54
don't like the idea of voting against stuff, but these
47:57
are things worth voting.
47:58
Speaker 24: Against good reason for that case.
48:01
Speaker 4: Ye amen, Andy, Well, you have a great morning, sir.
48:04
Speaker 24: You too, Thanks for doing what you do.
48:06
Speaker 3: Take care, you know, and you talk about safe, but
48:11
rare is not what we're talking about. We're talking about
48:16
going from second trimester to second contraction. And that's what
48:24
has to be you know, called out, is that there
48:29
are you know, things to vote against, not just things
48:32
to vote for in the in this, in this world,
48:41
in this, in any of these races, and yeah, gosh,
48:46
you know, I would be the first person to tell
48:50
you you want people that you want to vote for.
48:54
And at some point it becomes such truism of the
48:59
negative campaigning. So much more money, I would say, easily
49:03
two thirds of the money spent in campaigning is about
49:08
soiling the other guy. Don't vote for stupid, and so
49:14
little is spent on Here's why I'm great. And you
49:23
can say your opponent is wrong without saying that anyone
49:26
who supports them is a racist. Like the woman I
49:31
just wrote a piece just published yesterday. I think if
49:34
you follow me on social media, you received it. One
49:37
picture worth just fifteen words could change Virginia's gubernatorial race
49:43
based on the phrase A picture is worth a thousand words,
49:49
but could one picture be worth fifteen It's not because
49:54
of inflation, but think about what fourteen words did to
50:00
the commonealth of Virginia just four years ago. Fourteen words.
50:03
I don't think parents have the right to tell schools
50:07
what they should teach. Those fourteen words ended the political
50:11
career of a guy who, quite honestly, if he hadn't
50:14
said them, would probably be right now the front runner
50:17
for the twenty twenty eight presidential nominations. If you look
50:26
at Gavin Newsom and JB. Pritzker, well you're talking about
50:30
a guy who's twice been elected at that if he
50:32
hadn't screwed it up elected governor of Virginia, he's Bill
50:36
Clinton's political Godson, he'd be out in front of Gavin Newsom, JB. Pritzker,
50:43
Kamala Harris, you name it. Fourteen words did that in
50:47
but the sign the one with fifteen words that said, Hey, Winsome,
50:51
if trans can't share your bathroom, then blacks can't share
50:55
my water fountain. Since then, Robert Johnson, the the founder
51:01
of Black Entertainment Television, has been a part of a
51:03
flotilla of people contributing money. Her coffers are up to
51:07
eleven million dollars. Surely not half of what you know
51:11
the Democrat has, but just at the right time. And
51:14
I also point out in the column for the Daily
51:16
Signal Terry mcculluff made that statement on September twenty eighth,
51:21
not August twenty eighth. Big stuff, big doings, And you
51:28
know we have to be, you know, we have to
51:29
be looking at the things we're also voting against, because
51:33
you know, we get so downhearted about these candidates because
51:37
all we hear are the negative stuff that their opponents
51:40
say about them. So you know, these are the things
51:47
that you know, you have to not be pollyannic about it,
51:51
but you have to say what's good and what is
51:55
and what needs to be stood against none shall pass,
52:02
and Donald Trump is a master's class in that as well.
52:07
So anyway, I appreciate you and all the time we
52:09
spend together. Of course, Thursday morning is a foot Tomorrow
52:13
we'll crank it up again five Eastern for you across
52:16
the talk media network. And I want to say a
52:19
quick goodbye to a friend who knew me for just
52:22
four years. Cabot, one of the cats that adopted us
52:27
when they were born at our new home, was hit
52:29
by a car yesterday morning and left ust.
52:32
Speaker 4: And too soon. And we'll miss you.
52:38
Speaker 3: Life, but for you so long, and thanks for all
52:41
the fish, because.
52:43
Speaker 1: I'm coming home.
52:51
Speaker 16: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
52:53
compression of spinal nerves. According to doctor Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
52:57
California based chiropractor with more than thirty years of experience,
53:01
this compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury,
53:05
or simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
53:09
and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
53:12
the neck and back. Doctor Fisher explains his inventions the
53:16
Fisher Traction neck device and Fisher Traction Low Back device
53:20
safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
53:24
the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are
53:27
designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
53:30
back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
53:33
with the use of a release strap. The devices are
53:36
convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your
53:38
home and Doctor Fisher's series of YouTube videos provides helpful
53:41
videos and detailed instructions. For more information, visit Fishertraction dot
