• 0:05
  Speaker 1: didn't cost anything in the first place. So let's say
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: one million dollars. I'm called first thing today by Joe
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Thomas on the talk media network.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Jeword said, steal metem. You have a day at least
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: for work.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: When the sun comes up, drops a pet to school.
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: Has everything, a jen do all the.

  Speaker 6: He only is.
• 0:39
  Speaker 7: Joe.
• 0:40
  Speaker 8: Bless you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:42
  Speaker 8: this morning. That's how we roll. You bask in the
• 0:47
  Speaker 8: amplitude or frequency modulation of your favorite most radio station,
• 0:52
  Speaker 8: and I will tell you what went on last night.
• 0:55
  Speaker 8: I will tell you my analysis of it, which certainly
• 0:58
  Speaker 8: is your price of admission. But I want to hear
• 1:00
  Speaker 8: how it's impacting you where you are. And we set
• 1:03
  Speaker 8: up a multitasking line for that at four three four
• 1:06
  Speaker 8: eight eight two four to two one seven text message
• 1:10
  Speaker 8: because I know there's AM and there's PM. But we
• 1:13
  Speaker 8: live in a time known as LM Last minute, and
• 1:17
  Speaker 8: I know you're putting together all the things that you said.
• 1:20
  Speaker 8: I'll get to that later. It's always how mornings are.
• 1:23
  Speaker 8: We are the great suppository of all things left to
• 1:26
  Speaker 8: the last minute. So I get it. I know you
• 1:28
  Speaker 8: don't have tons of time, so shout something into voice
• 1:32
  Speaker 8: to text and hit send and we will read your
• 1:34
  Speaker 8: words into the public record as best as possible. Also,
• 1:38
  Speaker 8: you can send emails. And it's funny because I've been
• 1:41
  Speaker 8: in radio long enough to remember the first time somebody said, Hey,
• 1:45
  Speaker 8: we're going to set up an email address for you, Like,
• 1:48
  Speaker 8: why would so? The old fashioned way of sending me
• 1:51
  Speaker 8: an email to JT in the morning radio at gmail
• 1:57
  Speaker 8: dot com. Everyone kind of basking. Now we've focused and refocused,
• 2:03
  Speaker 8: we don't know where to look. It's the chaos theory.
• 2:07
  Speaker 8: We're all living it. And if you stare close enough
• 2:09
  Speaker 8: or actually just hire me to stare close enough into
• 2:13
  Speaker 8: the chaos theory and we start to see the patterns developing.
• 2:17
  Speaker 8: And what you notice first and foremost in the patterns
• 2:21
  Speaker 8: is that a lot of them all wind up back
• 2:23
  Speaker 8: either at a podium with Chuck Schumer or Hakeem Jeffries
• 2:27
  Speaker 8: at them. And to be fair, I mean, Hakeem Jeffries
• 2:31
  Speaker 8: is becoming more fun than Nancy Pelosi ever was, because
• 2:35
  Speaker 8: Nancy Pelosi never talked about castrating people. Not that castrating
• 2:39
  Speaker 8: people is fun, but when you have politicians talking about castration,
• 2:44
  Speaker 8: it can never be a bad day. When you do
• 2:47
  Speaker 8: political analysis, and you know it might be bad if
• 2:51
  Speaker 8: you're trying to be Oh, I don't know a campaign consultant.
• 2:54
  Speaker 8: But what would happen if Donald Trump had said something
• 2:57
  Speaker 8: like that? Democrats all love it. We'll see our first
• 3:01
  Speaker 8: things this morning. We begin in Cuba, where the USS
• 3:07
  Speaker 8: Knimics and its strike force have hit the Caribbean nation,
• 3:11
  Speaker 8: hoping to avoid any circular storms that might send them
• 3:14
  Speaker 8: back to World War two? Am I the only one
• 3:17
  Speaker 8: who remembers that movie. Cuba is worried that there is
• 3:24
  Speaker 8: an escalation on the way, and President Trump is ratcheting
• 3:27
  Speaker 8: up the threat of military action as they say they're
• 3:31
  Speaker 8: open to negotiations with the United States and they are
• 3:36
  Speaker 8: worrying about military intervention, which DC denies. Federal prosecutors. However,
• 3:43

• 4:47
  Speaker 8: twenty first Century Road to Housing Acts Wednesday, calling it

  Speaker 8: legislation passed with bipartisan support, as if that's even possible

  Speaker 6: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi'm
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program.
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: It makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: is a key component to our overall health. The Mayo
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent cancer
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy
• 8:51

• 10:25
  Speaker 11: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29
  Speaker 11: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 10:32
  Speaker 11: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
• 10:35
  Speaker 11: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
• 10:38
  Speaker 11: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's

  Speaker 1: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 13:33
  Speaker 8: Can I get a witness? Four three four eight eight
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: two four two one seven? That is how you interact
• 13:39
  Speaker 8: with us telephonically or through text message? Already uh swinging
• 13:45
  Speaker 8: there as I appreciate this because sometimes you do what
• 13:49
  Speaker 8: I do, and you wonder. You wonder Eddie of course,
• 13:54
  Speaker 8: who runs the research department, the growing and burgeoning research department.
• 14:00
  Speaker 8: First Thing Today by Chow Thomas writes in the Final Countdown,
• 14:07
  Speaker 8: it just struck me. You don't hear the USS nimits
• 14:10
  Speaker 8: mentioned much in the news, so as it sales to Cuba,
• 14:14
  Speaker 8: you start to wonder if Kirk Douglas, you know, I
• 14:17
  Speaker 8: don't know, just apropos of nothing is and everyone's seeing
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: Michael Douglas lately. I mean, Kirk Douglas was still going
• 14:27
  Speaker 8: what did he do that Don Henley video? And you
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: know it was still going well on into his nineties
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: and it still was badass too. And Kirk, I think
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: it's ten years younger. I mean, Michael is like way
• 14:46
  Speaker 8: younger would he did that show with Arkin? It was
• 14:52
  Speaker 8: an like a Netflix show to something theory. They're playing
• 14:56
  Speaker 8: acting teachers of all things, uh there, and he looks
• 15:00
  Speaker 8: rougher than Kirk did. Kirk was badass in that movie.
• 15:03
  Speaker 8: If you've ever seen The Final Countdown, it's a it's
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: one of those fun little sci fi war movies. It's
• 15:12
  Speaker 8: you know, it's eighty percent war movie. It's based on
• 15:15
  Speaker 8: the USS Nimics and what happens if some sort of anomaly,
• 15:22
  Speaker 8: electrical anomaly sends it back to December sixth, nineteen forty one,
• 15:27
  Speaker 8: And what do you do if you're the commander of
• 15:30
  Speaker 8: a twentieth century aircraft carrier with knowledge of the fact
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: that there's a whole bunch of Japanese zeros bearing down
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: on a US Navy base. And I just I thought
• 15:41
  Speaker 8: the script right now. I don't want to give away
• 15:43
  Speaker 8: the whole thing. You know what, if you've never seen it,
• 15:45
  Speaker 8: it's out there somewhere to be Pluto. Somebody's got it
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: streaming for free. Thank you Eddie for at least something.
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: But it's a it's fun to know that people are
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: out there gathering in George sorrows or actually, really, I
• 16:02
  Speaker 8: think at this point, can we stop referring to all
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: this as George Soros and more Alex Soros. Alex Soros
• 16:11
  Speaker 8: is the son of George. Obviously. The Open Society Foundation
• 16:15
  Speaker 8: has announced. This is the stuff they tell everyone. This
• 16:19
  Speaker 8: is the press release they put out that they've moved
• 16:22
  Speaker 8: three hundred million dollars into the United States mid term elections,
• 16:29
  Speaker 8: warning that President Trump, the Supreme Court majority of conservatives,
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: and attacks on quote civil society threatened America, democratcy and
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: civil rights. The organization announced its three hundred million dollars
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: quote unquote initiative Tuesday. After years, they say of having
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: concentrated most much of their activism overseas, including the Middle East,
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: and say, I read these things because sometimes I'm going
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: to look for the little tells. So they say, well,
• 17:04
  Speaker 8: we've been quiet, we've been quiet in the US scene
• 17:08
  Speaker 8: because we've been working in the Middle East. Really, really, what.
• 17:12
  Speaker 13: Exactly have you been doing in the Middle East. I
• 17:19
  Speaker 13: can't imagine what you've been involved in in the Middle East.
• 17:22
  Speaker 8: Alex.
• 17:24
  Speaker 13: Do tell.
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: I don't know why I've all of a sudden become
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: Jimmy Glick. But these are the tells, These are the
• 17:35
  Speaker 8: little tendrils. Because we talk about Iran being a state
• 17:40
  Speaker 8: sponsor of terror. The Open and Again Orwellian named Open
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: Society Foundation has been anything but. And George himself warned
• 17:55
  Speaker 8: that little Alex we see him on Tim Kaine's Facebook account,
• 18:03
  Speaker 8: arms around this. We love this guy, he says. I'm
• 18:06
  Speaker 8: sure at this point, I wonder if Tim Kaine's not
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: his godfather. Tim Kaine, of course, the Virginia Senator, who
• 18:16
  Speaker 8: was actually the very first political office seeker that the
• 18:21
  Speaker 8: Soros family backed back when he was running for mayor
• 18:25
  Speaker 8: of Richmond. Why and see, this is why people don't
• 18:29
  Speaker 8: get how dark and brilliant. You have to acknowledge the
• 18:34
  Speaker 8: brilliance of guy like sorows. Let's hire, let's go for
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: pennies on the dollar, invest in a bunch of prosecutors
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: that will ignore crime ostensibly then eliminating crimes of things
• 18:50
  Speaker 8: like theft, inciting riots, things like that, as long as
• 18:55
  Speaker 8: we can get prosecutors who will ignore those laws using
• 18:59
  Speaker 8: their prosecutorial judgments, and we can spend pennies on the dollar.
• 19:08
  Speaker 8: Could we could spend tens of millions of dollars trying
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: to flip Congress, or we could just flip the people
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: who are in charge of enforcing those laws, and that's
• 19:17
  Speaker 8: much more cost effective. We remember, George Soros is a businessman,
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: and ROI is important to guys like this. It's not
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: just about pouring bad money after good, which is what
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: the Democratic Party did in the last week or so,
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: pouring bad money after good in a lot of primary battles,
• 19:40
  Speaker 8: Jasmine Crockett being one of the most notable ones. So
• 19:45
  Speaker 8: here comes Uncle George and cousin Alex and their bag
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: of seemingly unending amounts of money. After spending the last
• 19:54
  Speaker 8: few years focusing on the Middle East. Oh and you
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: wonder who President Trump was bombing. And a great example
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: of something we talked about earlier in the week in
• 20:10
  Speaker 8: contextual news reporting. While the news report from the New
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: York Times about Makhmud Ahmedzad, remember Makhmud Amedenijad, We have
• 20:23
  Speaker 8: no gays in Tehran. The report is now that you know,
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: the US and Israel were ready to install Makhmud Ahmadinijad
• 20:36
  Speaker 8: as the new leader of Iran. As If Makhmud Amedinishad
• 20:42
  Speaker 8: wouldn't burst into flames saying the word Israel, but New
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: York Times printed it, so it must be true. Remember
• 20:51
  Speaker 8: their slogan, all the news that fits. But this is
• 20:56
  Speaker 8: a great example of in contextual reporting the statement. After
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: a missile strike in the opening days of the salvos
• 21:09
  Speaker 8: into Tehran, Ahmadinajad reportedly reconsidered his participation in the regime
• 21:18
  Speaker 8: change effort, But they don't say into which direction, because
• 21:23
  Speaker 8: at that point he had already been placed under house
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: arrest by the Ayatola, and the missile strike technically ended
• 21:34
  Speaker 8: that house arrest because the house was gone, or at
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: least several parts of it. Did he reconsider on the
• 21:43
  Speaker 8: direction of pro regime change or anti regime change? That's
• 21:48
  Speaker 8: an important question. I have no journalistic chops, and I
• 21:52
  Speaker 8: know that that's a dangling partisiple right there that the
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: New York Times just didn't bother to say, Hey, which
• 21:58
  Speaker 8: direction did he move to?
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
• 22:06
  Speaker 9: Yes?
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: Actually three known gas is I am doctor Mitch, and
• 22:11

  Speaker 19: Hi, excuse me, let me show you what I got.
• 28:52
  Speaker 8: Oh, yes, what a great country. It's like Yakov Schmirnoff.
• 28:57
  Speaker 8: What the country?
• 28:58
  Speaker 16: Uh?
• 28:59
  Speaker 20: There?
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: Clark is on the line with us, triggered by our
• 29:02
  Speaker 8: discussion of young Alex having taken over a dad's EMPI.
• 29:08
  Speaker 8: He was inspired by our opening and doctor Evil there.
• 29:12
  Speaker 8: Thank you, Austin. How are you doing this morning? Yeah? Baby,
• 29:18
  Speaker 8: there you go.
• 29:19
  Speaker 21: So the thing that I've learned from Olensky is we're
• 29:22
  Speaker 21: supposed to ridicule it every opportunity.
• 29:24
  Speaker 8: Right, Joe, That's what Olenski does there.
• 29:28
  Speaker 22: You go, so.
• 29:31
  Speaker 21: I vote from now on, every time you refer to
• 29:34
  Speaker 21: Alex sorrows you just say.
• 29:36
  Speaker 8: Many me right, Oh, a great job. Warwick Davis did
• 29:44
  Speaker 8: is Mini Me in that? That was?
• 29:46
  Speaker 10: That was?
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: I don't know which the actors come and go, but
• 29:49
  Speaker 8: I thought it was Warwick Davis, who played Mini Me
• 29:52
  Speaker 8: in the Austin Powers movies. But yeah, it's it is. Well, actually,
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: you know, not to diminish, well maybe inten to diminish.
• 30:01
  Speaker 8: But according to George, Alex is much more politically interested
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: than George ever was. I think George just like chaos. Yeah,
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: lucky has Alex. George I think just says anyway that
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: he wants chaos. He believes in the profit of tumult.
• 30:22
  Speaker 8: I think he believes in the profit of authoritarianism. But
• 30:27
  Speaker 8: he says, Oh, Alex is very political. And if you
• 30:30
  Speaker 8: see the pictures of a young upcoming, you know, in
• 30:33
  Speaker 8: turning Alex Soros at the hand of Tim Kaine, you
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: know who he's learning from.
• 30:40
  Speaker 22: Well, I think I saw something the other day and
• 30:42
  Speaker 22: I can't testify to the rest of this, but let's see,
• 30:46
  Speaker 22: Chelsea's married to a nephew, Adam Schiff's married to a sister.
• 30:54
  Speaker 21: You know, we don't learn anything from history, Joe. Ain't
• 30:57
  Speaker 21: that the reason all the uh royal panded up slightly
• 31:02
  Speaker 21: retarded and the three fingers and stuff. The inbreeding, I
• 31:05
  Speaker 21: don't know.
• 31:06
  Speaker 8: No, No, it's called royal bloodline protection. We call it
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: inbreeding in the United States. But yeah, the royal tree
• 31:14
  Speaker 8: doesn't have a lot of branches on it.
• 31:16
  Speaker 23: But that's so we can keep things canceled then, and
• 31:19
  Speaker 23: we just you know, that's why we have such large castles,
• 31:21
  Speaker 23: so we have basements that we can keep the let's
• 31:25
  Speaker 23: just say less than public members of the family. Luntin's
• 31:31
  Speaker 23: the subject.
• 31:33
  Speaker 8: I'll say, while you're clutching here, let me Scott in
• 31:36
  Speaker 8: Virginia Beach just texted and said Vern Troyer was the
• 31:40
  Speaker 8: actor that played U Jymy. All right, thank you very
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: much Scott for being a You are now an adjunct
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: deputized member of the research department at First Thing Today.
• 31:53
  Speaker 21: Spontaneous research like that that makes.
• 31:55
  Speaker 8: People, Joe, I'm telling you, it's a wiki. There you go,
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: so on.
• 32:01
  Speaker 21: Raoul Castro, Yeah, what a same haulk Coley's not around?
• 32:05
  Speaker 21: How great would it be?
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: Rol?
• 32:08
  Speaker 8: What's gonna do this.
• 32:09
  Speaker 21: Operators come for you, No goes you reckon. He goes
• 32:16
  Speaker 21: to bed at night and looks under the bed for
• 32:18
  Speaker 21: Delta and like checks the closet for dev grew.
• 32:22
  Speaker 8: Well, you have to wonder, I mean, if if the
• 32:25
  Speaker 8: if the strike forces can get Nicholas Maduro, I mean
• 32:29
  Speaker 8: Raoul Castro's one hundred and seven. I mean he's not
• 32:32
  Speaker 8: putting up as much of a fight as as Nicholas
• 32:35
  Speaker 8: Maduro could.
• 32:37
  Speaker 21: I'd have people on the roof, you know, Raoul Radar
• 32:41
  Speaker 21: don't pick up in helicopters, buddy, you gotta have people
• 32:44
  Speaker 21: up there watching for them.
• 32:45
  Speaker 8: Yeah. But here's the thing about your Castro Junior, And
• 32:49
  Speaker 8: you know it's funny. Obviously we can't arrest the corpse
• 32:51
  Speaker 8: of his brother, the main revolutionary general, Fidel.
• 32:57
  Speaker 21: Can urinate on his grave in the near future.
• 33:00
  Speaker 8: So so Raoul in Fidel Junior, if you want is
• 33:11
  Speaker 8: he was just along for the ride. He was the spare.
• 33:13
  Speaker 8: I don't know what he did for the decades and
• 33:15
  Speaker 8: decades that his brother ruled, but I remember when he
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: when Fidel was finally announced to have passed away and
• 33:22
  Speaker 8: Raoul was taking over, I'm like, what's he been doing, Clay,
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: you know, is it's just been the you know, like
• 33:28
  Speaker 8: you mentioned, slightly less than thoroughly bred member of the family.
• 33:33
  Speaker 8: I don't know, but they talk about the fact that
• 33:36
  Speaker 8: the secret police and the human rights violations actually ratcheted
• 33:40
  Speaker 8: up once Raoul came to power there. So I don't
• 33:45
  Speaker 8: know if this guy is up on the murder charges
• 33:48
  Speaker 8: for the downing of those life Flight airplanes that the
• 33:53
  Speaker 8: US is accusing him of there. And see now there
• 33:56
  Speaker 8: are charges filed, so now we can just say it's
• 33:59
  Speaker 8: an extradition thing that's going on there. But here's here's
• 34:03
  Speaker 8: the interesting question I have where, Clark, do you expect
• 34:10
  Speaker 8: to find more people with T shirts celebrating Shay Guevara
• 34:16
  Speaker 8: Havana or Washington DC DC. Theyn't even have to wait.
• 34:24
  Speaker 22: For that's a non question.
• 34:26
  Speaker 8: Yeah, So when when Raoul gets here and sees all
• 34:31
  Speaker 8: the twenty somethings wearing their Sharper Image Shay Guavara T shirts,
• 34:39
  Speaker 8: you know, he's like, I'm home, this is great, my
• 34:42
  Speaker 8: revolutionary brothers.
• 34:45
  Speaker 21: Well, you know, here's the thing. History will not do
• 34:50
  Speaker 21: justice to Fidel and Raoul.
• 34:54
  Speaker 8: It won't Joe because.
• 34:57
  Speaker 21: They're never going to be thought of up there with Hitler,
• 35:02
  Speaker 21: Stalin and brutal dictators that murdered millions of their own
• 35:06
  Speaker 21: citizens because they were limited. They were on that little
• 35:10
  Speaker 21: island and they didn't have as many people to kill from.
• 35:14
  Speaker 8: I see what you're saying, the killing field was limited.
• 35:19
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 35:20
  Speaker 21: When you look at overall percentages, they're up there pretty good.
• 35:24
  Speaker 8: Oh yeah, no, I know what you're saying. Yeah, And
• 35:27
  Speaker 8: they are a great example of what Marks meant when
• 35:30
  Speaker 8: he said some people might have to be removed from
• 35:33
  Speaker 8: the community.
• 35:36
  Speaker 13: They're removed some people.
• 35:38
  Speaker 8: Here's the question, though, and I think it's important as
• 35:42
  Speaker 8: we work on trying to liberate countries like Iran and Cuba,
• 35:47
  Speaker 8: what lessons and understanding and being careful with history, because
• 35:52
  Speaker 8: the history of Cuba and Iran in a lot of
• 35:55
  Speaker 8: cases have been written by the very leftists that want
• 36:00
  Speaker 8: us to trundle towards their style authoritarianism. Remember how Columbia
• 36:05
  Speaker 8: University loved them some Makmo damed dinieshad even with the
• 36:09
  Speaker 8: awkward we have no gays in Iran. What lessons do
• 36:15
  Speaker 8: we as a free society, as the leader of the
• 36:18
  Speaker 8: free world, need to take from what happened in the
• 36:24
  Speaker 8: late fifties in Cuba, because I do believe you know,
• 36:28
  Speaker 8: whether you if you read enough different versions of history,
• 36:31
  Speaker 8: you'll start to find commonalities. And I think there were
• 36:35
  Speaker 8: things that had the American government been a little bit
• 36:38
  Speaker 8: more careful. I'll tell you what comes immediately to mind.
• 36:43
  Speaker 21: What our government took from those lessons?
• 36:47
  Speaker 22: J six.
• 36:49
  Speaker 8: How do you mean? Well, as soon as.
• 36:53
  Speaker 21: Cash gro king power, he locked a lot of people,
• 36:55
  Speaker 21: upheld him without trial and tortured him.
• 36:57
  Speaker 8: Okay, so that part of our government, the Nancy Pelosi
• 37:00
  Speaker 8: Schumer part of our governess. Yeah, lock up your opposition.
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: How many times do they try to do that with Trump?
• 37:07
  Speaker 8: Make an example? Yeah? All right, good stuff, doctor Clark.
• 37:11
  Speaker 8: I appreciate it. So Verne troyer As Alex Sorows, I
• 37:15
  Speaker 8: like the idea. Uh there, Now we need, you know,
• 37:17
  Speaker 8: because we know we got the guy who calls in

  Speaker 8: American modern history, the September eleventh attacks and the reaction
• 45:15
  Speaker 8: of passengers of flight ninety three from Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where
• 45:19
  Speaker 8: we were on the fifth anniversary, and probably should have
• 45:22
  Speaker 8: been for other notable ones, but you know, you can
• 45:25
  Speaker 8: only do with the ones in front of you. So
• 45:27
  Speaker 8: we'll be taking the Virginia Institute for Public Policy mobile
• 45:32
  Speaker 8: broadcast studio and bringing it out to you. So we'll
• 45:36
  Speaker 8: be broadcasting live from Shanksville on September eleventh of twenty
• 45:41
  Speaker 8: twenty six. We're trying to get Rick Santorum out there.
• 45:44
  Speaker 8: He co hosted my broadcasts twenty years ago there, and
• 45:50
  Speaker 8: now since he and I are doing the Convention of
• 45:52
  Speaker 8: States deal together, I feel like there's an even easier sell.
• 45:56
  Speaker 8: Of course, he was US Senator from Pennsylvania and I
• 45:59
  Speaker 8: was hosting in Pennsylvania. Hey make sure we mentioned this
• 46:02
  Speaker 8: a few times. On Monday, late Memorial Day, we will
• 46:06
  Speaker 8: be on back in my old hometown of State College
• 46:09
  Speaker 8: and its adjunct suburb, Altuona. They used to have trains
• 46:14
  Speaker 8: and stuff there. I saw a story just apropos of nothing.
• 46:18
  Speaker 8: Apparently Quentin Tarantino speaking of Altuona, that Chris Pine Denzel
• 46:27
  Speaker 8: Washington movie about the runaway train, and it is abs
• 46:30
  Speaker 8: And I was in Pennsylvania broadcasting when the actual incident
• 46:35
  Speaker 8: of the runaway train happened, and what Christopher Nolan did
• 46:40
  Speaker 8: with a relative I mean, there were some moments where,
• 46:43
  Speaker 8: I mean the news was breaking in like, hey, this
• 46:45
  Speaker 8: train is run away. There's nobody on it, nobody in
• 46:47
  Speaker 8: the engine. But it was never nearly as dire as
• 46:54
  Speaker 8: Chris Nolan's movie made it look. But apparently Quentin Tarantino
• 46:58
  Speaker 8: loves that movie. Speaking of Altoona, nothing, but we'll be
• 47:02
  Speaker 8: coming to you. We'll be putting together some more sponsors
• 47:06
  Speaker 8: for the efforts there. Speaking of travel, and you can't
• 47:10
  Speaker 8: make this kind of stuff up in battled quote unquote,
• 47:14
  Speaker 8: Los Angeles Mayor Bass Karen Bass warned that her city
• 47:19
  Speaker 8: might have a shortage of hotel rooms during the twenty
• 47:23
  Speaker 8: eight Olympics. She is now asked the Los Angeles City
• 47:29
  Speaker 8: Council to postpone a mandatory increase of wages for hospitality
• 47:43
  Speaker 8: and airport workers to thirty dollars an hour. That would
• 47:47
  Speaker 8: be the minimum wage for working at a hotel in
• 47:50
  Speaker 8: Los Angeles. Quote, you have hotels saying they're going to
• 47:54
  Speaker 8: close up. Bass said, really, Karen, you couldn't have known.
• 48:03
  Speaker 8: You mean, Spencer Pratt didn't tell you this. I are
• 48:07
  Speaker 8: there no conservatives on the radio in Los Angeles anywhere
• 48:11
  Speaker 8: that could have told you that when you even discussed
• 48:15
  Speaker 8: a thirty dollars an hour forced mandatory minimum wage. And besides,
• 48:20
  Speaker 8: don't worry about it. There's plenty of glamping sites available
• 48:24
  Speaker 8: all along the highways of Los Angeles. Joel, good morning, sir,
• 48:29
  Speaker 8: I think I heard your laugh. There is that you?
• 48:32
  Speaker 13: That's me?
• 48:33
  Speaker 20: Good morning.
• 48:35
  Speaker 8: I just I recognize people's voices after a bit there,
• 48:39
  Speaker 8: So Diane, don't be afeared by that. I just I
• 48:42
  Speaker 8: try to. I tried to ever since I went through
• 48:45
  Speaker 8: the Learning RX program. I try to be better at
• 48:47
  Speaker 8: remembering names, faces, fingerprint patterns, that kind of thing, bank
• 48:51
  Speaker 8: account numbers. So what's going on, Joel while I download
• 48:54
  Speaker 8: your credit card information? Well kidding, kidding, by the way.
• 49:01
  Speaker 20: Well this isn't this isn't my topic. But before you
• 49:05
  Speaker 20: ever mentioned a Democrat again, you need to put the
• 49:09
  Speaker 20: sound of Lost in Space with the with the robot.
• 49:12
  Speaker 8: Warning warrel robins, hang on, hang on one second, hang
• 49:18
  Speaker 8: on to that thought one second. We've got line two
• 49:20
  Speaker 8: ringing here. Just before you get into your thought, per se,
• 49:22
  Speaker 8: let me get line too on. Hold here, good morning.
• 49:25
  Speaker 8: Who's this? Hey, it's any call from Florida.
• 49:28
  Speaker 20: I'm gonna come in on a couple of things and
• 49:30
  Speaker 20: then I really am gonna like just turn you off.
• 49:35
  Speaker 8: In prop of the stuff I have to do. All right, well,
• 49:38
  Speaker 8: let me let me get Joel. Joel was about to
• 49:40
  Speaker 8: hit me with a great point here, so just hang
• 49:42
  Speaker 8: on the line here there and Joel, all right, uh Joel,
• 49:49
  Speaker 8: h let be uh let me get this here. And
• 49:52
  Speaker 8: I think we have both of them on at the
• 49:54
  Speaker 8: same time, so can we put Andy on hold there
• 49:57
  Speaker 8: for a moment, Joel? Go ahead, sir? What's so? What
• 50:00
  Speaker 8: were you saying? Oh?
• 50:02
  Speaker 20: I said, but with the robots from the loss in
• 50:07
  Speaker 20: space warning warning.
• 50:09
  Speaker 8: Whenever you're talking about democrats, Yeah, exactly.
• 50:12
  Speaker 20: But what I wanted to talk about was Cuba. And
• 50:17
  Speaker 20: I think, and I and I really think that Elon
• 50:22
  Speaker 20: Musk is going to have a large play into Cuba
• 50:26
  Speaker 20: because not only is it strategically better in that area.
• 50:30
  Speaker 20: Sometimes for starlink but he knows a lot more about
• 50:37
  Speaker 20: the positions and stuff as far as like strategy for
• 50:42
  Speaker 20: networking and getting that region maybe into a more, better,
• 50:48
  Speaker 20: greater communication because what we're trying to do is establish
• 50:53
  Speaker 20: our western area, you know, get with Venezuela being cleaned up,
• 50:58
  Speaker 20: and then probably parts of South America too, So that's
• 51:02
  Speaker 20: going to be a big area where I think Elon Musk,
• 51:05
  Speaker 20: I know he's probably been doing starlinks that people can
• 51:07
  Speaker 20: communicate somehow, but I really think he's gonna have a
• 51:10
  Speaker 20: big hand in it.
• 51:11
  Speaker 8: Well, yeah, I think communication is the most important part
• 51:18
  Speaker 8: of a free society is being able to get information
• 51:21
  Speaker 8: in and out, don't you.
• 51:23
  Speaker 16: I do.
• 51:24
  Speaker 20: And the other thing is too uh it used to
• 51:28
  Speaker 20: be you know, I guess a gambling area and a
• 51:31
  Speaker 20: pretty wealthy area for money coming in coming out. And
• 51:35
  Speaker 20: I think that's another thing. I think that if they
• 51:38
  Speaker 20: can clean up China being in there and Russia being
• 51:41
  Speaker 20: in there, and remember that they had set up and
• 51:45
  Speaker 20: we've had I guess we have that Guantanamo agreement for
• 51:49
  Speaker 20: years and years where we you know, we know a
• 51:52
  Speaker 20: lot more than and then I know, we know a
• 51:54
  Speaker 20: lot more and a lot less of certain things that
• 51:58
  Speaker 20: have been happening there, which is kind of strange. But
• 52:00
  Speaker 20: I think us is going to be the can opener.
• 52:04
  Speaker 8: I think in general, but also what became of Cuba
• 52:08
  Speaker 8: in the fifties is a master's class also in crony capitalism,
• 52:12
  Speaker 8: because I see some of the same problems happening in
• 52:15
  Speaker 8: the United States. The quote right, the political right, has
• 52:20
  Speaker 8: come to lean on industries, businesses, favored classes of businesses,
• 52:24
  Speaker 8: the same way we used to support favored classes of
• 52:28
  Speaker 8: businesses in Cuba prior to the rise of Fidel and
• 52:32
  Speaker 8: his muscle Shay. So I think there are lessons to
• 52:36
  Speaker 8: be learned in that. That was sort of what I
• 52:38
  Speaker 8: was alluding to with doctor Clarke. Well again, Andy, when
• 52:41
  Speaker 8: we come back from break, you have a great morning, sir.
• 52:44
