0:02
Speaker 1: Fiant and more.
0:03
Speaker 2: Megan now make America great again than I've ever been.
0:08
Speaker 3: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
0:12
Speaker 3: Media Network by Joe jalas.
0:35
Speaker 4: Ah, Tedsday has arrived across America and emanating from Central Virginia,
0:41
Speaker 4: where all is you know, quiet at this moment, but.
0:46
Speaker 1: So many things going on.
0:48
Speaker 4: It's a target rich environment on this Tedsday morning with
0:51
Speaker 4: international affairs, affordability, a lot of reaction to yesterday's affordability
0:57
Speaker 4: program and what it really comes down to in tariffs
1:02
Speaker 4: and you know, what are these tariffs and why are
1:05
Speaker 4: they different than other tariffs, and what are their role
1:10
Speaker 4: in the world Because they've always existed, we acted like
1:13
Speaker 4: we act like Donald Trump invented the word tariff. He's
1:17
Speaker 4: using it for international affairs. He's using them as diplomatic cudgels.
1:25
Speaker 4: And this point was made to me by a friend
1:28
Speaker 4: of mine. He's actually trying to improve the quality of
1:31
Speaker 4: life in our trading partners' countries by forcing them to
1:36
Speaker 4: come along to the rest of the world and trying
1:41
Speaker 4: to get into the or out of the fourteenth century
1:44
Speaker 4: in the way they treat their citizens.
1:46
Speaker 1: And isn't that a laudable Thing in and of that.
1:53
Speaker 4: And the point I was making about the midterms earlier
1:57
Speaker 4: in the program. And if you missed it, jump into
2:00
Speaker 4: the podcast channel at Joe Thomas Inthemorning dot com and
2:06
Speaker 4: pick a subscriber network. They will tell you, hey, they've
2:09
Speaker 4: posted new episodes of First Thing Today by Joe Thomas
2:13
Speaker 4: when we do, and it's usually somewhere into the afternoon
2:16
Speaker 4: when they go up there, and then you can download it,
2:19
Speaker 4: listen to it, listen to parts you may have missed.
2:23
Speaker 1: But the.
2:24
Speaker 4: Issue of tariffs and the cost of goods in America
2:30
Speaker 4: is implicit first and most importantly on the availability of
2:34
Speaker 4: Americans to manufacture those things. And the point of an
2:39
Speaker 4: international tariff is to say, hey, you're undercutting American world
2:44
Speaker 4: or or whichever country I mean. And let's not forget China, Germany, England,
2:49
Speaker 4: all of these places have tariffs on the stuff we
2:52
Speaker 4: sell to them as well, and some of them make
2:55
Speaker 4: no economic sense because we're not making soybean oil any
3:03
Speaker 4: less expensively than China does. They just don't want us
3:07
Speaker 4: in the marketplace, and it's protectionist and in most cases, tariffs,
3:11
Speaker 4: especially the ones that we see on our international trading partners,
3:16
Speaker 4: are exactly that. They're protectionists. They're designed to stop anyone
3:22
Speaker 4: from coming in.
3:23
Speaker 1: This is what you see.
3:26
Speaker 4: Amongst the Chai coms when they throw around there, we
3:29
Speaker 4: need to own half your company and see all of
3:32
Speaker 4: your documents, and oh, hey, who knew somebody started a
3:36
Speaker 4: company just like yours here in Beijing. But boy, you
3:39
Speaker 4: got to sell a whole bunch of those widgets to
3:41
Speaker 4: the strangely middle class Chinese workforce. And it's not as well,
3:54
Speaker 4: it's a tax on the people who buy the product.
3:58
Speaker 4: It is unless you buy a prop made in America
4:02
Speaker 4: and that it's not a tax on it.
4:04
Speaker 1: And that's the part that nobody ever talks about.
4:06
Speaker 4: And we will poke around there because it's uncomfortable and
4:09
Speaker 4: it makes people go oh, in just a little bit,
4:12
Speaker 4: but we must lay out our first things for you,
4:14
Speaker 4: otherwise how will we know what we're talking about. Remember
4:19
Speaker 4: last week President Trump said that the European countries were
4:23
Speaker 4: weak and were corrupt and were falling apart. Antonio Costa,
4:30
Speaker 4: European Council president, said Europe and the United States quote
4:35
Speaker 4: must act like allies and urged the US president to
4:40
Speaker 4: show respect. We respect the choice of Americans and they
4:44
Speaker 4: need to respect the democratic choices of our citizens, Consta
4:49
Speaker 4: said at a press conference in Ireland. Chinese Premier Lee
4:55
Speaker 4: Qwang said Tuesday that global tariffs have delivered a severe
4:59
Speaker 4: bloe to the world economy, a remark seen as aimed
5:04
Speaker 4: at President Trump's actions international Breitbart reporting that Lee made
5:09
Speaker 4: the comments at an international forum in Beijing amongst countries
5:17
Speaker 4: concerned about the access to global markets. Two fighter jets
5:23
Speaker 4: buzz the Venezuelan coast yesterday, and an action that one
5:28
Speaker 4: Pentagon official who spoke to the Associated Press on the
5:34
Speaker 4: condition of anonymity, described as a quote routine training flight. Meanwhile,
5:40
Speaker 4: sentate effort to restrict President Trump's ability to use military
5:45
Speaker 4: action against Venezuelan drug manufacturers could be headed to a
5:50
Speaker 4: test vote next week. The War Powers Resolution, floated by
5:54
Speaker 4: Senator Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff, would bar us military
5:59
Speaker 4: strike on Venezuela unless Congress authorizes them. President Trump said
6:04
Speaker 4: Tuesday he would consider eliminating federal taxes on gambling winnings.
6:08
Speaker 4: He said this on his way to a casino in
6:12
Speaker 4: mount Airy, Pennsylvania, to hold his first Making America Affordable
6:17
Speaker 4: Again rally. The rally actually titled Lower prices, bigger paychecks.
6:23
Speaker 4: When asked about taxes on gambling earnings, he said, no
6:27
Speaker 4: tax on gambling winnings. I don't know. I'm going to
6:30
Speaker 4: have to think about that. And he did point to
6:34
Speaker 4: the Biden administration. They caused higher prices, he said at
6:39
Speaker 4: the rally, and we're bringing them down. That's the message.
6:42
Speaker 4: They gave you higher prices. They gave you the highest
6:45
Speaker 4: inflation in history, and it might be working. According to
6:48
Speaker 4: the latest Reuters IPSOS poll, President Trump's approval rating has
6:52
Speaker 4: snaked up to forty one percent from thirty eight percent
6:56
Speaker 4: last week.
7:01
Speaker 5: You know, it's true, difficult times have a way of
7:04
Speaker 5: focusing us. We have to think about what matters most
7:07
Speaker 5: when it comes to our spending our healthcare. This is
7:09
Speaker 5: why so many people are joining meta share right now.
7:13
Speaker 5: Metas Share is a trusted way to save up to
7:16
Speaker 5: fifty percent on your monthly healthcare costs. More than four
7:19
Speaker 5: hundred thousand people have already made the switch. It's pretty
7:22
Speaker 5: obvious why, especially now during this challenging season with health
7:26
Speaker 5: care costs and out of pocket.
7:27
Speaker 3: Expenses going up.
7:29
Speaker 5: Metas Share can save you a lot of money. The
7:31
Speaker 5: typical family saves five hundred dollars a month. Medashare works too.
7:35
Speaker 5: It's been around for thirty years. Members have shared more
7:38
Speaker 5: than five billion dollars of each other's bills. There are
7:41
Speaker 5: different options to choose from to fit your budget. I'll
7:44
Speaker 5: give you the number here in a second, and if
7:45
Speaker 5: you call, you can get a price within two minutes.
7:48
Speaker 5: Maybe now is the perfect time to make the switch
7:51
Speaker 5: and start saving. Here you go call eight five five
7:54
Speaker 5: share forty. That's eight five five shre forty eight five
7:59
Speaker 5: five share.
8:04
Speaker 6: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
8:08
Speaker 7: Yes?
8:08
Speaker 6: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
8:13
Speaker 6: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
8:18
Speaker 6: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
8:23
Speaker 6: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
8:28
Speaker 6: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
8:33
Speaker 6: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
8:36
Speaker 6: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
8:39
Speaker 6: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
8:42
Speaker 6: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate nitric Oxide,
8:47

Speaker 3: The First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Tonk
13:16
Speaker 3: Media Network.
13:17
Speaker 2: They're prioritizing tax cuts for huge corporations over cutting the
13:21
Speaker 2: cost of.
13:21
Speaker 9: Healthcare and housing.
13:29
Speaker 18: On Tom Perry Yellow And I'm running for Congress because
13:32
Speaker 18: this is an all hands on deck moment.
13:34
Speaker 4: You know, I remember back in the day, and I'm
13:37
Speaker 4: taking a grave risk in mentioning this because there are
13:41
Speaker 4: those in the legal profession that would rather me not
13:44
Speaker 4: mention that I worked in Charlottesville for a nyon twenty
13:47
Speaker 4: years before we launched this program. It's a real kind
13:51
Speaker 4: of Dave Letterman NBCCBS thing. But I remember distinctly a
13:56
Speaker 4: time when Tom was in the studio with me at
14:01
Speaker 4: a station that I can't mention, and I said to him,
14:04
Speaker 4: how is this Affordable Care Act even the purview of Congress?
14:09
Speaker 4: And he said Joe, somebody has to do something to
14:13
Speaker 4: lower the cost of health care on Americans. And here
14:17
Speaker 4: he is, just a scant fifteen years later saying, we
14:20
Speaker 4: need somebody to come along and love with the cost
14:23
Speaker 4: of health care for Americans. I'll tell you sometimes this
14:28
Speaker 4: is why you just don't get good rom coms anymore.
14:31
Speaker 4: There's no good fiction anymore. Everything is out there. There's
14:35
Speaker 4: no comedy in it anymore. Just report what's actually happening.
14:39
Speaker 4: Our friend James Luck is on the phone with us.
14:41
Speaker 4: You want to talk about a family that's been around
14:43
Speaker 4: Charlottesville for a long time, part of the Central Virginia
14:46
Speaker 4: community since nineteen sixty one, now serving all of you
14:51
Speaker 4: with family driven advice, individualized advice advice about you and
14:57
Speaker 4: where you are for gold and silk investments at jcsgold
15:02
Speaker 4: dot com. James Luck is the fourth generation of that family.
15:06
Speaker 4: Good morning, James, how are.
15:07
Speaker 1: You, sir?
15:08
Speaker 7: I'm doing well, Joe, and we have a mixed morning
15:11
Speaker 7: between gold and silver. Today.
15:13
Speaker 19: Gold is down just slightly. It's been hovering right around
15:16
Speaker 19: forty two hundred dollars. It's down just a third third
15:19
Speaker 19: of a percent this morning to foury one hundred and
15:22
Speaker 19: ninety five dollars. Silver, on the other hand, really served
15:25
Speaker 19: yesterday after we spoke and continue to overnight. It is
15:30
Speaker 19: at sixty one dollars and seven cents. Holy three quarters
15:34
Speaker 19: of a percent so far this morning. But silver really
15:38
Speaker 19: broke out and popped yesterday.
15:40
Speaker 4: My gosh, this is I mean, get a nosebleed from
15:43
Speaker 4: this kind of altitude there.
15:45
Speaker 1: Holy cow.
15:46
Speaker 4: Well, you know, hopefully folks have been taking your advice
15:49
Speaker 4: about stacking silver and getting ready for Christmas with you know,
15:53
Speaker 4: a silver investment.
15:54
Speaker 1: That's just gonna I mean.
15:55
Speaker 4: Think about all the folks who have bought silver rounds
15:58
Speaker 4: for their Christmas tree over the years, and what they
16:01
Speaker 4: must be thinking is they hang that from their tree
16:04
Speaker 4: this year.
16:06
Speaker 7: Absolutely. And I was just talking with someone the other.
16:10
Speaker 19: Day and talking about how they're giving silver eagles as
16:14
Speaker 19: a gift, oh yeah, to their grandson and they give
16:17
Speaker 19: a twenty twenty five our current year silver egal every
16:20
Speaker 19: single year. And she said, you know, he doesn't realize
16:24
Speaker 19: what he's getting. You know, right now he's too young
16:27
Speaker 19: to understand. But one day he's going to realize that
16:30
Speaker 19: he has, through all of these gifts, he has quite
16:33
Speaker 19: the silver collection. And it's really going to set him
16:36
Speaker 19: up well, especially when you zoom out and you see
16:40
Speaker 19: the way that silver has gone up in value of
16:42
Speaker 19: the past a handful of years. Then you know he's
16:45
Speaker 19: going to be very happy with those gifts. He doesn't
16:47
Speaker 19: get it now as a young child.
16:49
Speaker 7: But he will appreciate one day. It's just a great
16:52
Speaker 7: thing about the gift of silver.
16:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it is. It is so easy to do.
16:57
Speaker 4: Talk to this family business at four three four nine
17:00
Speaker 4: to seven nine coin after ten Eastern or just go
17:03
Speaker 4: online right now and you can see what James is
17:05
Speaker 4: talking about at jcsgold dot com and those silver eagles.
17:10
Speaker 4: There's a new design kind of every year, isn't there?
17:13
Speaker 4: So each year is you know, like if you have
17:14
Speaker 4: a twenty twenty four, well get the twenty twenty five.
17:18
Speaker 4: Not only is it more silver, but it's also a
17:20
Speaker 4: different design.
17:23
Speaker 7: That's exactly right.
17:24
Speaker 19: They alter the design just slightly, nothing no major changes,
17:27
Speaker 19: but little slight changes here and.
17:30
Speaker 7: There from year to year, which make it pretty cool.
17:33
Speaker 19: And you can actually see silver on our website at
17:36
Speaker 19: jcscold dot com on the daily deals page where you
17:39
Speaker 19: can buy silver below the market value below spomp. So
17:43
Speaker 19: go ahead and take advantage of those discounts before they're gone.
17:47
Speaker 4: That's it such a great place, jcsgold dot com. You
17:51
Speaker 4: have a great morning, James. Thanks Joe, you too, four
17:55
Speaker 4: three four eight eight two four to two one seven.
18:00
Speaker 4: So we were getting into the impact of these tariffs
18:05
Speaker 4: and the one part of the tariff discussion that never
18:08
Speaker 4: comes up, and that's okay. So you don't want to
18:13
Speaker 4: pay a tariff on something important from another country, buy
18:18
Speaker 4: it from somebody who made it here. And too frequently
18:22
Speaker 4: what I'm told is, oh, well that's more expensive, or
18:26
Speaker 4: we don't make it well here. It's not made well here.
18:28
Speaker 4: That's the argument against some of the American manufacturing things,
18:33
Speaker 4: and perhaps there is some efficacy to that. We have
18:38
Speaker 4: a population who, since twenty nineteen have been told working
18:43
Speaker 4: in factories is dangerous because there's people next to you
18:47
Speaker 4: that might have Sar's Cove two and kill you. So
18:54
Speaker 4: it's been as difficult as it's been to get some
18:57
Speaker 4: of the service sector employee employment back up again. You know,
19:04
Speaker 4: this is why so many restaurants are suffering. In order
19:07
Speaker 4: to get their staff back, they had to pay way
19:11
Speaker 4: more than they had been. Therefore, their prices had to
19:14
Speaker 4: go up. And this is the classic Marxist setup that
19:19
Speaker 4: the small business owner is the rich oligarch, and that's
19:26
Speaker 4: who Bernie Sanders is talking about when he talks about
19:29
Speaker 4: fighting the oligarchy. He's talking about the middle class business owner.
19:34
Speaker 4: Why because you see the middle class business owner every day.
19:40
Speaker 4: So if I turn you on him, we've won. We
19:44
Speaker 4: being the Marxist authoritarians, and they didn't invent it. They're
19:50
Speaker 4: perfecting it. They've got more technology to enact it, but
19:55
Speaker 4: they didn't invent it. This goes back to Gosh, I'm
20:00
Speaker 4: sure authoritarians have been using this for time in memoriam,
20:06
Speaker 4: whether it be in France to help Robespierre become king
20:13
Speaker 4: and the boy he lost his head after that, or
20:18
Speaker 4: Lenin and Resputin using it to overthrow the czar. These
20:30
Speaker 4: efforts to vilify the small business owner in exchange for
20:36
Speaker 4: really looking to where the wealth in a country is,
20:38
Speaker 4: which is being protected, and part of it is understandable.
20:43
Speaker 4: I mean, if I've worked hard and I've become wealthy,
20:45
Speaker 4: I don't want to lose my money, But it's also
20:49
Speaker 4: not right to go to the government to protect it.
20:51
Speaker 4: For you, the very things that made you wealthy will
20:57
Speaker 4: go away, And there are too many people who are
21:03
Speaker 4: willing to do that. I was the host of a
21:07
Speaker 4: seminar yesterday for the Virginia Institute for Public Policy, great
21:12
Speaker 4: think tank like the Madison Foundation in Florida and the
21:16
Speaker 4: Commonwealth Foundation in Pennsylvania. In all those places California public policy,
21:22
Speaker 4: some great conservative minds working together on things. And one
21:25
Speaker 4: of my dear friends, Caleb Taylor, at the event, you
21:29
Speaker 4: pointed out that.
21:35
Speaker 1: What we're doing is.
21:37
Speaker 4: Allowing rhetoric that is populist into the room and normalizing
21:47
Speaker 4: the idea of just telling everyone what they want to
21:50
Speaker 4: hear becomes good policy. The problem is is when you
21:54
Speaker 4: get elected off of that, people start to expect you
21:58
Speaker 4: to deliver on those promises.
22:02
Speaker 6: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
22:07
Speaker 6: actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
22:12
Speaker 6: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
22:17
Speaker 6: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
22:22
Speaker 6: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
22:27
Speaker 6: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
22:31
Speaker 6: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
22:35
Speaker 6: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
22:38
Speaker 6: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
22:41
Speaker 6: your hands and feet well. Our product Ultimate nitric Oxide
22:46

28:18

28:21
Speaker 14: Just what the dostt is.
28:25
Speaker 4: Thank you ver letting us be of service to you
28:27
Speaker 4: this morning. This text message on tariffs. If the President
28:33
Speaker 4: wasn't ready to drive up the prices of everything, why
28:36
Speaker 4: would he? Why not wait until American manufacturing has turned
28:41
Speaker 4: back around. Because one of the ways that you do
28:44
Speaker 4: that is the way the left does it. They incentivize,
28:47
Speaker 4: they subsidize, They go into a business and say, start
28:50
Speaker 4: hiring a bunch of people.
28:52
Speaker 1: What's coming up next. I get what you're saying.
28:55
Speaker 4: Before you hit our foreign trading partners with tariffs, make
28:59
Speaker 4: sure Amurricans are making the products we're looking for. But
29:03
Speaker 4: I think in most cases they are, especially in farms.
29:08
Speaker 4: Their issue is getting the stuff out of the country.
29:12
Speaker 4: But when prices go up, they're taking a whipping boy
29:20
Speaker 4: and putting him out on the shelf and whipping him
29:23
Speaker 4: some more. And here's the thing you have to remember,
29:26
Speaker 4: and especially because everyone's beating up grocery prices, the reason
29:31
Speaker 4: grocery prices are still massively high is what Joe Biden
29:35
Speaker 4: did with and I'm not just taking this as a
29:38
Speaker 4: cheap shot on Joe Biden.
29:39
Speaker 1: Don't react to that.
29:40
Speaker 4: Is when he shut off the natural gas pipelines and
29:44
Speaker 4: restricted the amount of natural gas.
29:46
Speaker 1: That could be used.
29:49
Speaker 4: He restricted how much fertilizer we could make, and the
29:53
Speaker 4: cost of fertilizer went up between forty and sixty percent.
29:59
Speaker 4: That's why your groceries are more expensive, not because of tariffs,
30:03
Speaker 4: but because of natural gas. And we haven't replaced that yet.
30:08
Speaker 4: Now the question is can we replace it? Do we
30:10
Speaker 4: have the political will to replace it? But just you know,
30:14
Speaker 4: for the realities of some of the since everyone's out
30:17
Speaker 4: there on this affordability campaign, and I didn't see the
30:19
Speaker 4: president's whole speech, but I don't I haven't heard him
30:23
Speaker 4: talk about specifically getting the cost of the fertilizer the
30:28
Speaker 4: farmers use down. But there's Andy says I triggered him
30:33
Speaker 4: with something he's you know, see, Andy, you know that's
30:36
Speaker 4: this is a woke free zone. I know it's a
30:39
Speaker 4: wake up show, but it's not a woke up show.
30:42
Speaker 4: So I'm sorry for triggering you. But it's all for
30:45
Speaker 4: our benefit.
30:46
Speaker 17: Happy ted sty Anyway, at the it's really funny James
30:50
Speaker 17: Luck's father actually was my my son's.
30:54
Speaker 1: Tennis coach when he was at the Covenant's Goal. Great family,
30:59
Speaker 1: a small world.
31:00
Speaker 17: Yeah, they're really really solid folks. But I recall you
31:05
Speaker 17: telling me, or telling a lot of people that the
31:11
Speaker 17: military vote had not been counted. It but Kerry Ella
31:17
Speaker 17: in his seat.
31:18
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, it was a very close congressional race. This
31:21
Speaker 4: goes back to two thousand and and eight. This is
31:24
Speaker 4: Barack Obama's immaculation. And in the fifth Congressional District of Virginia,
31:34
Speaker 4: there was a long time incumbent who had been a Democrat,
31:38
Speaker 4: was first elected as a Democrat, Virgil Good, then left
31:43
Speaker 4: the Democratic Party, was elected as an independent, and then
31:47
Speaker 4: left the Independence and became a Republican. And Virgil was there.
31:53
Speaker 1: And Tom, you know.
31:55
Speaker 4: Wore the shoe leather off. I will give Tom Peril
31:58
Speaker 4: all the credit in the world. He was at the
32:01
Speaker 4: opening of every envelope if you were if there was
32:04
Speaker 4: a crowd of five people there, Tom Periella was going
32:07
Speaker 4: to show up. And he worked and worked and worked.
32:10
Speaker 4: But come election day, back kids, kids, google election day
32:15
Speaker 4: and see what it means. Back when we held elections
32:18
Speaker 4: on one day, there were a bunch of absentee ballots
32:22
Speaker 4: that had not arrived because they had for some reason
32:25
Speaker 4: been delayed in getting to the polling places from our
32:30
Speaker 4: soldiers serving in theater. And so the case was to
32:35
Speaker 4: a judge allow these ballots to be counted. They were
32:39
Speaker 4: cast almost a month ago. If I remember the story correctly,
32:43
Speaker 4: the votes that were in this shipment had been cast
32:47
Speaker 4: at the end of October of two thousand and eight,
32:51
Speaker 4: and just it took for whatever snaffoos happened, they hadn't
32:55
Speaker 4: arrived in the prescribed deadline for overseas military ballots, and
33:01
Speaker 4: Perry Ello's lawyers fought like crazy behind the scenes to
33:06
Speaker 4: keep the ballots from being counted while telling the press, oh,
33:11
Speaker 4: I want to make sure every legitimate ballot is cast.
33:14
Speaker 4: And it was one of those first times I watched
33:17
Speaker 4: somebody say one thing and mean another with such deft
33:22
Speaker 4: was he would tell the press, I want every legitimate
33:25
Speaker 4: ballot cast. I should have known that this was going
33:28
Speaker 4: to be the guy who could pull the wool over
33:30
Speaker 4: everyone's eyes when it came to Obamacare and pretend that
33:35
Speaker 4: healthcare insurance was the same thing as healthcare. But man, yeah,
33:40
Speaker 4: that was a battle, and he wouldn't let the soldier's
33:42
Speaker 4: votes get cast. And I think that may have been
33:44
Speaker 4: a big part of why he only was one term congressman.
33:49
Speaker 17: I remember posting something there was a local place where
33:53
Speaker 17: you could actually just have what I thought was kind
33:58
Speaker 17: of a pre market. Might have been something to the
34:02
Speaker 17: hook website maybe, And I remember you know, saying that
34:06
Speaker 17: he was toast, you know, after that, and he turns
34:09
Speaker 17: out he was a one term person. But well you didn't.
34:13
Speaker 17: I didn't know. It was what you informed me of
34:16
Speaker 17: this morning, and that is that he became part of
34:20
Speaker 17: the Sorrow's job websonry, for lack of a better term.
34:26
Speaker 4: Well not even part of it. He was the second
34:28
Speaker 4: in command. I mean, there was George and then Tom.
34:31
Speaker 4: Tom ran the whole joint for George while he was
34:34
Speaker 4: off there glad Heading and Davos and with all these
34:37
Speaker 4: other World Economic Forum types.
34:39
Speaker 1: Tom was his was his capo.
34:42
Speaker 4: Or consigulary or whatever mafia term you want to use.
34:46
Speaker 4: And that all ended when Alex took over. I put
34:51
Speaker 4: my tongue in cheek and said, when Alex got his
34:53
Speaker 4: bar mitzvah, Tom was out. But you know, when Alex
34:56
Speaker 4: Soros wound up taking over the operation, and that's when
35:01
Speaker 4: Tom left and has been kind.
35:03
Speaker 17: Of even luddier than his father.
35:06
Speaker 1: Right now.
35:07
Speaker 17: The other thing, my son was back damaged at the
35:11
Speaker 17: University of Virginia Hospital. He was actually born that year
35:15
Speaker 17: that they had It was the year after they didn't
35:17
Speaker 17: have to do any kind of experiments or on vaccines,
35:25
Speaker 17: you know.
35:25
Speaker 1: Which was probably five.
35:29
Speaker 17: Yeah, my son is born in nineteen eighty seven and
35:34
Speaker 17: has you know, to this day, is still you know,
35:37
Speaker 17: he's high functioning autistic. But yeah, so he has a
35:41
Speaker 17: good dad, but he's been disrespectful, we all have privately.
35:46
Speaker 4: At this point. At this point, the spectrum has been
35:49
Speaker 4: stretched so much. The percentage of population that isn't on
35:53
Speaker 4: the spectrum I think is smaller than the percentage that
35:57
Speaker 4: falls within it somewhere.
35:59
Speaker 1: But you know, what was your point on.
36:01
Speaker 17: You go home, Just just before you get to the
36:05
Speaker 17: IVY interchange, there's say my second escape house was up
36:11
Speaker 17: on the hill there and I actually ran my That's
36:15
Speaker 17: where my home was for probably five years, and it's
36:19
Speaker 17: right there at the IVY interchange on the right. And
36:22
Speaker 17: but my my the back way to my work place
36:26
Speaker 17: for years, I'm always worked right behind the Millstone of
36:30
Speaker 17: Ivy School there in the Ivy Industrial Park, Okay, And
36:35
Speaker 17: so I used to pass Tom perry Ella's house daily
36:39
Speaker 17: for years a term.
36:44
Speaker 4: In a big central VIRGINI. I mean they his dad
36:47
Speaker 4: was a pediatrician who had treated so many kids in
36:51
Speaker 4: the area.
36:52
Speaker 1: So you know, there was that there was a lot.
36:54
Speaker 4: Of reasons Tom was able to win that congressional race.
36:59
Speaker 17: But to when my son was two years old and
37:03
Speaker 17: I got this just all hands saying from you, you
37:06
Speaker 17: need to get over here. And turned out that, uh,
37:11
Speaker 17: he was taken to pediatrics Associates and uh when Nathan
37:17
Speaker 17: presented himself with his mom, uh, doctor Perryel ran him
37:22
Speaker 17: across to the old Martha Jefferson Hospital. It was less
37:27
Speaker 17: than a blot, but he ran him over there and
37:32
Speaker 17: was with him until, you know, until they got him stabilized.
37:36
Speaker 17: He had Nathan had katotic hypoglycemia, which is just wow.
37:42
Speaker 17: And everyone, I've done a lot of this backstammory stuff
37:46
Speaker 17: I never met. An's father actually saved my son's life.
37:50
Speaker 4: And from what I understand, a great great man there.
37:55
Speaker 4: And so it's it's a thank you for that testimony.

Speaker 25: Hi Jack Hannah and it's always a boy. Growing up
41:02
Speaker 25: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
41:05
Speaker 25: I'm not only in all of their beauty and kindness,
41:07
Speaker 25: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
41:09
Speaker 25: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
41:13
Speaker 25: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
41:15
Speaker 25: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
41:18
Speaker 25: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
41:21
Speaker 25: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
41:23
Speaker 25: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
41:26
Speaker 25: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
41:30
Speaker 25: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
41:33
Speaker 25: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
41:36
Speaker 25: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
41:38
Speaker 25: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
41:42
Speaker 25: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
41:44
Speaker 25: variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
41:47
Speaker 25: help those in need. So please join me an American
41:50
Speaker 25: Humane and supporting our heroic working dogs and all the
41:52
Speaker 25: amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go to

Speaker 2: heart and brain.
42:12

Speaker 16: Me a ride.

42:24
Speaker 15: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.

43:33
Speaker 21: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
43:35

44:01
Speaker 1: Percentage point.
44:02
Speaker 4: It was going to be a recount, but that's the
44:05
Speaker 4: history of But then you know, having so narrowly won
44:08
Speaker 4: that seat, this Periello guy became the tie breaking vote
44:13
Speaker 4: to bring Obamacare to the floor, so Nancy Pelosi could
44:17
Speaker 4: march across the lawn with her gavel in her hand,
44:20
Speaker 4: and funny enough, fifteen years later, he's still campaigning on
44:24
Speaker 4: the idea of getting down the cost of healthcare. Oh
44:28
Speaker 4: my goodness. You can't make this stuff up, but to try.
44:30
Speaker 4: Sometimes you try to satirize it for your own protection.
44:35
Speaker 4: Also want to get back into the situation in Europe
44:41
Speaker 4: and also the realities, especially at the grocery store, since
44:45
Speaker 4: that seems to be the fulk room of everyone's angst
44:50
Speaker 4: over tariffs.
44:51
Speaker 1: Tariffs are not.
44:52
Speaker 4: Why grocery prices are high. It's fertilizer. And believe me,
44:56
Speaker 4: if there's anything I know, it's fertilizer.
45:00
Speaker 1: But let me get to you. At four three four
45:01
Speaker 1: eight eight two four two.
45:03
Speaker 4: One seven, doctor Clark is hanging on the line in Alabama,
45:06
Speaker 4: out of the cold dark place where we hold people
45:09
Speaker 4: until their hearings. Come, stand and stand and be heard.
45:15
Speaker 1: Hey, Joe, how a way?
45:21
Speaker 14: So as up again?
45:23
Speaker 18: My trek down off the mountain This morning we're talking
45:27
Speaker 18: about our European allies. And I got to thinking, Joe,
45:32
Speaker 18: what public school did you go to?
45:34
Speaker 13: Is it?
45:34
Speaker 7: One?
45:34
Speaker 1: Thirty two?
45:35
Speaker 13: No?
45:35
Speaker 1: Ps? Forty one in kroscher On Queen's.
45:38
Speaker 18: Yeah, forty one, all right? PS forty one at PS
45:42
Speaker 18: forty one, I bet you in order to graduate from
45:44
Speaker 18: that place and made you take geometry.
45:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, there.
45:50
Speaker 18: Was a transitive property in geometry. If equals B and
45:57
Speaker 18: B equal C, then a must equal. See first time
46:03
Speaker 18: in your adult life. I'm gonna make something you learn
46:05
Speaker 18: in geometry useful.
46:07
Speaker 7: Okay, you just put that off to the side for women,
46:09
Speaker 7: all right.
46:11
Speaker 18: All right, now, our European allies, our NATO allies, our
46:18
Speaker 18: European friends. We keep hearing about how Donald Trump's gonna
46:22
Speaker 18: alienate these people and whatnot.
46:24
Speaker 1: And etcetera, etcetera. Right now, Joe, if.
46:29
Speaker 7: The WEF.
46:32
Speaker 18: Is essentially the EU, and the EU is pretty much NATO,
46:40
Speaker 18: then NATO is pretty much the w f H and
46:46
Speaker 18: they're not our friends anymore. Now you can take a
46:49
Speaker 18: Jeffersonian approach to this, and when in the course of
46:54
Speaker 18: human events the abuses and usurpations get to a certain point,
46:59
Speaker 18: or you just go an Alabama five year old and
47:02
Speaker 18: if y'all are gonna act like that, I ain't gonna
47:04
Speaker 18: be your friend no more. But one of the other
47:10
Speaker 18: is kind of where we need to get to.
47:14
Speaker 4: I think, because well, I'm sorry, I thought you pausitive
47:18
Speaker 4: or you were wrapped up there.
47:19
Speaker 18: You know, there's a lot of answer butts here, and
47:23
Speaker 18: I'm not one correct, but I'm more correct than I
47:27
Speaker 18: am incorrect. Am I not?
47:29
Speaker 7: Oh?
47:30
Speaker 4: As a as an abstract sure, absolutely, and sometimes way
47:33
Speaker 4: ahead of the curve. Which is one of the reasons
47:35
Speaker 4: we like you is we like being ahead of the curve.
47:38
Speaker 4: We like to be able to go back and say, see,
47:39
Speaker 4: we told you so. But one of the things, and
47:43
Speaker 4: this becomes one of the conceits, perhaps or one of
47:47
Speaker 4: the the business models of America's role in the world,
47:51
Speaker 4: is we have become, since the end of World War Two,
47:56
Speaker 4: the for the of a better term, the defender of
48:01
Speaker 4: Western civilization. And this is why it's so important for
48:06
Speaker 4: these attacks on Western civilization to continue in the United States,
48:11
Speaker 4: on academia and in the halls of government. You can't
48:14
Speaker 4: say that you can't do that. You cannot because you
48:18
Speaker 4: have to be understanding of other people. Because the other
48:20
Speaker 4: people coming in are against Western civilization. They don't like
48:25
Speaker 4: Western civilization. They believe, you know, they want a party
48:28
Speaker 4: like it's fourteen ninety nine again, and so they want
48:31
Speaker 4: to bring back religious theocracy and mercy killings. And honor
48:37
Speaker 4: killings and male dominated you know, anti you know, homosexual theocracies,
48:48
Speaker 4: and they're using the women's rights movement and the gay
48:52
Speaker 4: rights movement to do it. It's amazing to watch. If someday,
48:57
Speaker 4: two hundred and three hundred years from now, I hope
48:59
Speaker 4: the history books treat this well. In the ability of
49:02
Speaker 4: folks who want to kill all the gays and make
49:05
Speaker 4: all the women's servants again are getting supported by the
49:08
Speaker 4: women's rights movement and the gay pride movement, so.
49:13
Speaker 18: They tell us that the Holy Roman Empire was not
49:17
Speaker 18: Holy Roman or an empire.
49:19
Speaker 1: We're getting to the.
49:20
Speaker 18: Point though, where Western civilization is not Western or civilized.
49:26
Speaker 1: How do you mean, well, you.
49:31
Speaker 18: Bring en up there, here here be comes.
49:33
Speaker 4: Okay, so Western civilization stop has stopped being you know,
49:38
Speaker 4: practiced in these former bastions of Western civilization. I thought
49:43
Speaker 4: you had meant Western civilization didn't exist, because it still
49:46
Speaker 4: exists conceptually. It's the single most important thing that's helped
49:50
Speaker 4: lift the majority of people on the planet out of
49:54
Speaker 4: abject poverty and destitution.
49:58
Speaker 1: So I'm going to stick with it.
49:59
Speaker 4: But yeah, I see your point now that we're ignoring
50:02
Speaker 4: the fact that it's it's a thing, right, right, So I.
50:08
Speaker 18: Don't know, we need to rethink allies. And I mean,
50:15
Speaker 18: you know, it comes to time when you can't be
50:17
Speaker 18: friends with somebody anymore, when the behavior becomes.
50:22
Speaker 4: Well, and this was kind of what Washington was warning about,
50:27
Speaker 4: is that, yes, you're going to have alliances with other countries,
50:32
Speaker 4: but if those countries fall into the hands of a
50:35
Speaker 4: desk spot that is patently anti American in their administration
50:40
Speaker 4: of their country, you have to break off that time.
50:43
Speaker 4: You can't just say, well, NATO says. And that's why
50:47
Speaker 4: I think Washington, as much as people will say, oh
50:50
Speaker 4: he was a protectionist, isolationist or whatever, he was just
50:53
Speaker 4: saying that we need to have individual alliances with countries,
50:58
Speaker 4: and we have to be willing to say.
51:01
Speaker 1: This isn't working for us anymore.
51:03
Speaker 4: He was particularly worried about France because he saw what
51:07
Speaker 4: was happening in France with Robespierre and the multiple French
51:11
Speaker 4: revolutions and all the bloodshed there that even his own
51:14
Speaker 4: Secretary of State was wistfully saying, well, maybe a little
51:18
Speaker 4: revolution every now and then is good. And he realized
51:22
Speaker 4: that if we were going to stand up for liberty,
51:23
Speaker 4: we can't just wait for a bunch of people to
51:25
Speaker 4: say we're done with people having freedom, and you know,
51:29
Speaker 4: march on the town square with muskets.
51:33
Speaker 18: There it is you know, you kind of got to wonder,
51:38
Speaker 18: were there or really our friends or was it just
51:41
Speaker 18: one of them?
51:42
Speaker 7: Well, they're the enemy of our enemy, so we'll like friendly.
51:45
Speaker 1: I don't know.
51:46
Speaker 4: And we've learned the lesson of that with these and
51:49
Speaker 4: Ray actually wrote a very nice email, I think it
51:52
Speaker 4: was on Friday after the show, saying be careful because
51:55
Speaker 4: there are many many Afghans in this country who are good,
51:59
Speaker 4: you know, and they want to get out because they're family.
52:01
Speaker 4: And I understand that this was the point I was
52:04
Speaker 4: making earlier about we can't just blame the Enemy of
52:08
Speaker 4: our Enemies program under the Biden administration for why all
52:13
Speaker 4: these people like the one in Waynesboro and the one
52:15
Speaker 4: in Seattle, the murderer of the specialists, they came in
52:21
Speaker 4: under it. They were obviously triggered by something, and not
52:25
Speaker 4: everyone who's come from Afghanistan is like that. And we
52:28
Speaker 4: we can't just do group think anymore, doctor Clark. But
52:32
Speaker 4: the news approaches, So you have a great morning, sir.
52:35
Speaker 4: I'm glad you're down off the mountain. I'm sure it's
52:37
Speaker 4: brisk up there, and we'll talk to you again very soon.
52:40

52:43
