Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Let me ask you all this question we're supposed to
leave at the Bernie Sanders an alec all send you
a Cosio QUOTEXT on.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Your to do list. Putting the radio on is the
first thing today, George said.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
Steal metem.

Speaker 4 (00:13):
You have a day at least for work when the
sun comes up, drops a kid to school.

Speaker 5 (00:19):
Nay, Joe has.

Speaker 6 (00:21):
Everything a dream, all the chases, and needs no one
that Joe's as smiled.

Speaker 7 (00:28):
He only eggs.

Speaker 8 (00:33):
Joe.

Speaker 6 (00:34):
God bless you for letting me be of service to
you this morning.

Speaker 9 (00:39):
Hey, I was.

Speaker 6 (00:40):
Sending out electronic Christmas cards to a lot of folks
that are interact way. I'm not even beginning on my list.
I's been such a cacophony. Actually, the email will explain
a lot. We steal a page from uh the How
the Grinch Stole Christmas, and it's the It's that frozen

(01:00):
moment when the Grinch and Max realized that the Who's
Down and Whoville are enjoying Christmas without all the stuff
they stole and get. You may get a copy of
it yourself there, but it basically says twenty twenty five
has thrown everything the kitchen sink and the Gridge has

(01:22):
Sleigh at us. But our Christmas came just the same,
And it's thanks to folks like Josh and Willis and
all the folks at Talk Media Network and Hamp and you.
Hamp was one of the early adopters, one of the
most vociferous supporters of what we do here to make
sense of the world. First thing in the morning, and

(01:43):
my friends John Caracciolo WRCN, Long Island News Radio, my
old home, John Taylor over at neuro Communications in Altoona

(02:03):
and State College where theyre also my old hometown stomping grounds.
It's like I feel like doctor Who. I'm revisiting some
of the old faces there and some of the old
stomping grounds there. But it really has been a blessing.
There a couple of text messages this morning, Tier Joe,

(02:25):
can you explain why you referred to the FCC chair
as Crampis this morning? You just threw it off and
I'm trying to figure out why you would call President
Trump's FCC chair crampis. Not even sure I know who
crampis is. I just know there was a horror movie
made with that name, not all that long ago. Are
you trying to say he's some villain in a horror movie.

(02:47):
I know I'm going more the historic crampis not the
Roman crampis Maximus, but more the classic Christmas cram. Well, well,
i'll get into that. I'll nuance that for your gene
in a moment. Lawrence emails JT in the Morning Radio

(03:09):
at gmail dot com. Can you send me a picture
of the young fellow and the clip you just played.
I'd like to know what kind of clothes he's wearing.
It doesn't sound like somebody who has been suffering under
the yoke of American oppression all that much. I will
send you a screen capture of what he's I think

(03:29):
he's wearing like a Detroit Lions football jacket. He's got,
you know, and you know he he's a bigger fella.
Will I won't say he you know, could use some
GLP one. But he also hasn't missed any meals. He's
not on the border. You know, he may not be

(03:50):
the healthiest guy in the room, but he's certainly not
on the verge of starvation either. But you know, your
point is well taken, Lawrence, is that here's a kid
who's challenging and saying he don't even say thank you
to the country that's given him a place to be.
And that's really what's eating America alive. Right now, we'll

(04:14):
pick back up with that botch. We can't discuss the
first things this morning until we tell you what they are.
US military forces are tracking another oil tanker linked to
Iran and Venezuela after the vessel refused orders to stop
and submit to boarding. The tanker, known as the Bela One,
was spotted in the Atlantic Ocean after making a series

(04:35):
of abrupt course changes while traveling near Venezuela. American military
commanders say the ship has declined to comply when approached.
It's bigger than a Coastguard cutter, but a Coastguard unit
called the Maritime Special Response Team is on its way.

(04:57):
Ten Democratic senators from many of our home areas, like
Tim Kaine of Virginia and Chris Murphy of Connecticut and
Jeff Murkley of Oregon. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, have signed
off on a letter sending urgent concern to the President
over his decision to recall thirty diplomats from their ambassadorial posts.

(05:23):
This vacuum in US leadership poses a significant threat to
national security rights the Senators. Meanwhile, President Trump continued his
series of tweaking and twerking Christmas greetings yesterday, posting to
social media, Merry Christmas to all, including the many sleezbags
who loved Jeffrey Epstein, gave him bundles of money, went

(05:46):
to his island, attended his parties, and thought he was
the greatest guy on earth, only to drop him like
a dog when things got too hot, falsely claimed they
had nothing to do with him, didn't know him, and
said he was a disgusting person. And of course President
Donald J. Trump, who was actually the only one who
did drop Epstein. The GDP grew by almost fifty percent,

(06:12):
more than expected by economic analysts. US economy grew at
a rate of four point three percent in the third
quarter of twenty twenty five. That's going to hurt some
mid term election campaign rallies. The forecast was just for
three percent. It's a jump from the second quarter's growth

(06:32):
of three point eight percent. A strong storm system still
hanging around southern California, but soaked it over the Christmas
holiday waves near twenty five feet in the San Francisco Bay,
Southern California bracing four mud slides which may be on

(06:53):
the way next for this rain soaked area. And those
are some of our first things this morning.

Speaker 10 (07:01):
Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
to look into. And that's meta share. Maybe you've heard
joining metashare can save you or your family up to
five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge, but it's
also true. People are just happier with it. They love
being part of something that reflects and promotes their values

(07:22):
and what they believe in.

Speaker 6 (07:23):
Meta Share works too.

Speaker 10 (07:24):
It's been around for thirty years now and members have
shared more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills.
People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide ppo networks.
So yeah, really you can save a ton and like
it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
of your health care, whether you're self employed or part
of the gig economy, or you just want to plan

(07:44):
that you're happy with.

Speaker 11 (07:46):
Here you go.

Speaker 10 (07:46):
You can call right now and get a price within
two minutes, a very very smart use of two minutes.
Here's the number you need.

It's eight five to five share forty eight five five
Share forty eight five five share forty.

Speaker 5 (08:03):
Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
actually three known gases. I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric oxide
is a gas that's readily made all day long to
keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen

(08:28):
and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
your hands and feet. Well, our product, ultimate nitric oxide,
can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

Every year, more American adults die from vaccine preventable diseases
than from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like
the one for newmcccle disease can protect adults from illnesses
that can cause misdays of work, hospitalization, and even death.
New macccle disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example

(09:56):
of an infection that can spread from person to person.
Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.
I'm doctor Susan Reem of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases.
When I speak with my patients, I urge them to
get all their recommended vaccines. Now, I'm urging you to
speak with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.

adults and the diseases they prevent, like HPV, whooping cough, tetanus,
and shingles, visit adult Vaccination dot org. That's www dot

you recognize them? By their clothes, their age, the way
they speak. Would you notice a sixteen year old boy
who've got.

Speaker 16 (11:13):
His first job for eks, for spending money about to
help feed his little sisters.

Speaker 15 (11:19):
Or a mother who's in between jobs and sometimes goes

School activity not to make friends, but just to get
something to eat.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
The First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the TUNK
Media Network.

Speaker 6 (13:18):
Those remember the sound of this voice at one O
three point nine FM on Long Island. I used to
do requests a lot for folks, but I got an
email for our bumpered choices. Matt writes in to us,

(13:38):
and he says, thank you, uh for your choice. My
texts have just all scrammed away. That's not that's not
what I wanted to see. Matt Wright writes in, thank
you for playing a few seconds of the best version
of Dear Mister Fantasy from Welcome to the Canteen Dave
Mason and Steve Winwood on guitar. Yeah, it's funny because

(14:02):
you Dave Mason Steve Winwood so well known individually for
kind of the pop rock yacht rock era of you know,
we just disagree or you know, when you see a chance,
take it. Uh, they forget they were all part of
this supergroup, you know. And I guess it's not even
really fair to call it a supergroup because they were

(14:24):
just a group and then they all kind of went
on their way to become you know, big pop hits
as well. I appreciate that, but Matt, I cannot tell
you how often when we discuss things of public import
and and the misrepresentations of our liberties. I am referred
to in in some way, shape or form as just

(14:45):
being deluded by the fantasy of Adam Smith and Martin
and Thomas Jefferson and the founding of the nation and
market economics and Milton Friedman. And it works. It does work.

(15:06):
We got there and we saw that it works. I mean,
if we work, it works. Our friend James is back
from Christmas break. James Luck, fourth generation of the Luck
family from before traffic was ever recording music. They've been
helping folks in vest and gold and silver and precious
metals and coins and collectibles and such. James, Merry Christmas.

(15:30):
I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas
Day and welcome back. How are you doing this morning?

Speaker 22 (15:38):
Absolutely, Joe, thank you, and Merry Christmas to you and
your family as well. You know, it was a nice
time off yesterday, but you know we didn't take time
off yesterday. It was gold and silver they worked. They'd
been working NonStop and overnight and it shows because gold
is at four thousand, five hundred and eleven dollars, another

(15:59):
all time high.

Speaker 6 (16:00):
Wow.

Speaker 22 (16:00):
Silver up even stronger. That's about three quarters of percent
for gold. But silver is up three and a half
percent overnight so far to seventy four dollars and fifty
cents of two dollars and fifty cents.

Speaker 8 (16:14):
Which is a huge move for silver.

Speaker 22 (16:17):
But it is off to the races for sure.

Speaker 23 (16:20):
And you know the our showroom is going to be
closed here at jcscold dot com, but we're always open
twenty four to seven at jcscold dot com and packages
are still going to ship out.

Speaker 22 (16:31):
So even though our shore man may be closed.

Speaker 6 (16:33):
Today, it is still going to shift like normal today.

Speaker 22 (16:36):
So go there and check out these low premium sober
deals on our daily deals page.

Speaker 6 (16:42):
While they last I knew something was afoot when CBS
News had a special report on silver twenty twenty five.
They so so the networks are finally started to say, hey,
something's going on over there, so I appreciate it. They
might be listening. I don't know, but that's that's amazing.
I remember was it just a week ago, James, that

(17:03):
I asked, so so pedestrianly, do you think silver will
crack seventy dollars announced by the end of the year.
I may have to revise that and say, what do
you think is eighty dollars announce achievable.

Speaker 22 (17:18):
Yeah, I think it was just a week ago that
you asked that question about seventy dollars, and at this
point I think you weren't dreaming big enough. Show who knows,
we should have been asking about eighties.

Speaker 8 (17:30):
So we'll see where we go.

Speaker 23 (17:31):
I mean, running at this pace, eighty is definitely a reasonable.

Speaker 24 (17:36):
Target before the end of the year, which is incredible
to say for silver. So really, TOY twenty five has
been an incredible year for gold and silver investors and
it's not slowing down.

Speaker 6 (17:47):
That's for sure and without question, and understand that as
high as the peaks are, the point of gold and
silver is the stability that they bring and that it's
a hedge against the wild whimsies of dictators around the
world that manipulate their currencies. So go to jcsgold dot
com and take a look. James, you have a great morning, sir,

(18:10):
Thanks show you too. Four three four eight eight two
four two one seven. I want to get into this
attack on ISIS in Nigeria, but I first want to
discuss how the news of the day is impacting you
where you are. That is our you know, the largest
part of our business model. Good on to You're on
the air with Joe first thing this morning. Yeah, this

(18:34):
is Matt. Oh hey, Matt, I just read your email.
Did I misread it?

Speaker 19 (18:37):
I no, no, no, I just I just wanted to
note on this idea of you know, we talk about
these things like abolishing the Federal Bureau of Intimidation and
doing away with the sixteenth and seventeenth Amendments and that

(18:58):
sort of thing. People people accuse us of living in
a fantasy world, but I am reminded that when we
were young, the nuns and the priests would preach to
us about the lives of the saints, and no one

(19:21):
expected us to be saints, but it gave us something
to emulate. It gave us something forward to which to.

Speaker 6 (19:32):
Strive, right. It's it's like we talk about Saint Valentine
whenever we and I'm sure you have friends who are
out there just Hollmark color Day, or or Saint Nicholas,
you know, the real you know, Saint behind the Feast.
You know there these were people who faced great challenges.

Speaker 19 (19:55):
Well with with a lot of this stuff, we are
trying to keep an ideal and an idea alive. And
now I don't expect this to happen in my lifetime.
This may not happen to my children's lifetimes, but this
is something that we have to keep striving for to

(20:20):
get it accomplished.

Speaker 6 (20:22):
Well, human race has been trying to strive for this
for time in memoriam. I mean, the cycle of liberty
to apathy to debauchery to tyranny has gone on multiple
times in the history of mankind.

Speaker 19 (20:40):
Well, and unfortunately, throughout the history of mankind, a lot
of these problems are not addressed until they become so egregious.
I mean, it's like this, this Somali theft in Minnesota.

Speaker 6 (21:04):
This should never have been allowed.

Speaker 19 (21:06):
Right now that it has been.

Speaker 6 (21:08):
Exposed as bad.

Speaker 19 (21:11):
As it is, nobody's going to do anything about it
for quite a while yet, because they're gonna say, oh, well,
jesezs you I don't get cracked down on this. That's
going to be racist, and jess going.

Speaker 6 (21:24):
To complain is Lama the uh, it's all politicians. This
is one of the reasons that a representative republic works
because at some point you're not supposed to be worrying
about what happens to the next election cycle.

Speaker 19 (21:40):
Yeah, and and we look at people like from Waltz
and we think, how did we ever allow somebody like
this to be a governor? Well, we look at ilhan
Omar and say, how did we ever allow something like
this in the angers?

Speaker 1 (22:01):
Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National League training for Planet Fitness,
and the American Heart Association recommends that we all get
at least one hundred and fifty minutes of moderate aerobic
activity in a week's time. But here's the thing that
one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to be
super intense. As a matter of fact, it could just
be you moving your body and doing what you already
love to do, like exercise. And a stronger heart doesn't

(22:24):
just mean cardio, right, it means also infusing your workout
routines with strength training as well. So we are super
excited to be launching our new plateloaded Strength series and
all of our gems. It's already fitted in seventeen hundred locations,
with the goal to have all twenty seven hundred fitted
by the end of twenty twenty five. So if you
need more information, go to our website at planetfitness dot com,

(22:47):
or better yet, download our free Planet Fitness app and
with convenient locations all around the world and most of
our gyms being open twenty four hours, it's bound to
be one close by you.

For decades, America's offshore oil industry relied on Portfouchaw in Louisiana.
But now as win Energy continues to grow, many of
these vessels, these companies, these people are building and servicing
the offshore wind industry, moving equipment, installing turbines, transporting crews.
It's a huge opportunity, and we're proud to be.

Speaker 6 (23:17):

Tim Waltz, is who shaved Grover the Muppet down and
tie on them? The thing is, you know, we allow
these things, and then you wind up with a kid
like this dearborn Michigan kid who's out there said I'd
never fight for America. You try try saying that in
in Nigeria, say I never fight for Nigeria. Well, guess what.

(29:17):
First off, they're going to put you in a uniform
and put you in a jeep and drive you offices
somewhere and say you will or will kill you on
the way out of the battle zone.

Speaker 19 (29:28):
Well, I heard somebody on the radio in the past
couple of weeks, and I don't even remember the context,
but they were saying that they only want people here
who love America. And I was thinking, oh, yeah, these
people love America. They love America because it's just a
grab bag of free money.

Speaker 6 (29:48):
That's what they think for sure. Yeah.

Speaker 19 (29:51):
And and as Minnesota has proved, yes, this is true.

Speaker 6 (29:56):
But when it isn't, when when you know and and
so predictable in the of these these do gooders, as
Ronald Reagan called them, when they fail. And it's like
the column I wrote for The Daily Signal, available online
now at Daily Signal dot com. Yes, Virginia, you elected
Santa Claus because it's the two types of subsidies you

(30:19):
set out for people are the direct ones like Snap,
and you see what happens when people find out the
government's going to curtail Snap or Medicaid or the or
the back door the supply side ones where you subsidize
the delivery person and you say, you decide who gets

(30:39):
this free stuff, and you take the hit in exchange
for sort of a semi guaranteed payment on your efforts.
If not full payment, you'll get something. And that's how
we've been doing it. And people when they fail to
get the stuff they think they deserve, they wind up
rioting in the streets and they believe that a Maria

(31:00):
has failed them. It's the lie of America that failed them.
The false flag America has failed them. The live action
role play of the Great Society has failed them. Join
us on the island of you know, fantasy island, the
other fantasy island where this liberty happens. What was the

(31:22):
ein ran book? Who is Joe Galt? You know Joe
Galt is calling growth? Yeah, yeah, well.

Speaker 19 (31:32):
And I think part of the difficulty is that for
a lot of the immigrants that came to this country
one hundred years ago, they came by boat. It was
an arduous journey. They weren't going back home again. They

(31:53):
knew that now you have somebody they can fly in
from where ever, get themselves set up, buy a cable
television package and they can watch soccer from Somalia on PESPN.

Speaker 6 (32:11):
Oh, yeah, that's interesting.

Speaker 19 (32:13):
There's still this strong connection to the homeland. It isn't
like we're moving to America and we're going to become
American because things are good work. We're Somali's that are
going to live in America.

Speaker 6 (32:29):
Well, you know, it's interesting. It's almost like we have
to go Cortes on it and burn our ships when
we get here. H Anyway, you have a great morning, sir,
and uh and I'll talk to them very soon. I
hope you had a great Christmas.

Speaker 19 (32:43):
I did.

Speaker 6 (32:45):
It's an interesting you know. It's it's assimilation. And people
always point to like the Italian American community, you know
of little Italy and every town with Little Italy in it,
and you know Fat Sam gion Kana and the Chicago
mobs and al Capone and and did they assimilate and

(33:07):
and you know, and there is a point where assimilation
works both ways. So you take, you know, good things,
but they all have to be filtered, pardon me, through
the bill of rights. And if your country doesn't have
a Bill of rights, you have to learn what it
means to have one, because it's going to be a

(33:29):
list of responsibilities too. Let me get to you at
four three four eight eight two four two one seven.
Good morning, who's this, Hey Joe, It's Clark, Hey Clark.
How you doing this, sir? I hope you had a
great Christmas.

Speaker 22 (33:43):
That was a good Christmas, Joe.

Speaker 28 (33:45):
I've talked to you on the radio every day while
you've had your respiratory crowd and I finally caught it though, So.

Speaker 6 (33:51):
You see, you can do this through the internet. You know,
you can send it over the airwaves. That's it. I
I'm it's you know, there are all these stories always
it's a flu. Uh, it's a flu. There's a big
flu going around. It's it's not our s V. It's
not COVID, it's not you know, it's just it's, you know,
whatever happened to the day you got a chess cold,

(34:13):
you drank some honey laced a regan O tea, you
took some you know, oregano pills, and you got better.
And you know that's we've lost this ability to you know.
And maybe it's because so many of us are gig
workers now that if we're out of work or out

(34:33):
of money, if we're not if we're not working, we're
not earning. And so the idea of sick days is
it is frightening to people like, I can't be sick
because if I'm not out there doing whatever it is
I do, I get no money. Uh and then I'm homeless.
And and maybe that's an economic thing we have to
look at, is how does somebody take the time to

(34:58):
battle a chess cold, put them ustered pack on your chest.
Whatever it is that you do, whatever is your remedy
to that. But it certainly seems like the world is
incapable of taking a sick day or two, drinking some
herbal tea uh and and some bed rest and beating

(35:19):
their respiratory issues on their own. We all want a vaccine,
vaccine that will stop it from happening, because damn it,
I can't miss the day, you know. Oh, by the way,
I want to correct myself here before we go to
it story. It's John Galt. You know who is John Galt?
Not Joe. I don't know. If Joe may have been
his cousin, I don't know. But but what do you

(35:40):
think of that you know about our inability to take
a sick day? Joe?

Speaker 28 (35:45):
I think you know, you just need to take a
dose to deal with.

Speaker 19 (35:50):
It, and a double dose to suck it up.

Speaker 6 (35:53):
Go on a double dose of sucking.

Speaker 3 (35:56):
But you're going to make all your coworkers die. You're
like one of those office shooters. You've come in here
with your COVID. You're gonna kill us all. Joe Biden
was on TV. Then you don't have the right to
kill me with your COVID.

Speaker 28 (36:11):
Well, the thing is is my coworkers don't have a
job if I don't work.

Speaker 6 (36:14):
So there you go. Well, Jay, mask up, baby, get
a helmet. So I am pretty excited, Joe, you do
have people like talk.

Speaker 28 (36:22):
How about how many days it is the Christmas? Yeah,
it's a hundred If I did the math right, it's
one hundred and fifty six days to Pride month.

Speaker 22 (36:34):
There's something to work over.

Speaker 6 (36:40):
Let me go dust off my Charlie Pride collection and
get it ready.

Speaker 28 (36:44):
I've been studying on it for you. But anyway, you know,
listen to you and that talk, and you brought up
the Grinch, but more to the point than who's in
Whoville this morning?

Speaker 21 (36:56):
And uh.

Speaker 28 (36:58):
What a similarity all you know, the morning after the
Grinch took everything that he thought constituted their Christmas, the
whos were gathered around the tree holding hands. Abu do
a fabu for a Christ is born on Christmas Day.
Now the Grinch and his little dog, Mic sitting high

(37:23):
up on the hill hearing this, couldn't comprehend how it
hadn't worked out for him.

Speaker 6 (37:31):
Looked a little like Kamala Harris in that picture.

Speaker 28 (37:35):
I gotta think that George sitting at Davos with his
dog's Joe Biden Ill Hannomore, Tim Walls at all can't
figure out how we're still going USA usable spirit.

Speaker 6 (37:55):
Well, it's because Trump has fooled us, and so that's
their narrative, doctor Clark.

Come considered by most. Optimized curcumin is one of the
few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market.
I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to

(39:22):
any nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing
or reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent

(39:43):
cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you

Hi, everybody, Jack Hannah and it's always a boy. Growing
up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
I'm not only in alle of.

Speaker 29 (41:06):
Their beauty and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic.
Just look at the birds who gather supplies to build nests,
or Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared

(41:26):
by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
they also perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep
us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom.

Speaker 6 (41:38):
Suffer from PTS.

Speaker 29 (41:39):
They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change.

Speaker 2 (41:42):
In their blood chemistry.

Speaker 29 (41:43):
Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
contribute to society and help those in need. So please
join me an American Humane and supporting our heroic working
dogs and all the amazing animals on this planet we
inhabit together. Go to American Humane dot org to learn more.

Speaker 25 (42:00):
Uh oh, bruh, that's buzzed.

Speaker 6 (42:01):
Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.

Speaker 21 (42:05):
And now a speech.

Speaker 20 (42:07):
I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
heart and brain.

Speaker 6 (42:12):
Who's with me?

Speaker 20 (42:13):
Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
brain is saying when it's time to go home.

Speaker 21 (42:18):
Somebody call me a ride.

Speaker 11 (42:20):
Love that guy, Me too, know your buzzed warning signs,
call for a ride when it's time to go home.

Speaker 6 (42:25):
Buzz driving is drunk driving.

Speaker 18 (42:29):
Did you know that more than half our household energy
costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
good for the environment, it means lower utility bills too.
One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.

(42:50):
That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
energy star logo and read the energy guide label, and
there are day to day things you can do. Lower
your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,

(43:12):
close fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep
air filters clean. For more tips on saving money by
reducing your energy waste, check out FTC dot gov slash green,
a tip from the Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer
protection agency.

Speaker 16 (43:30):
As a family member or friend, you may be the
first to notice when a veteran you love has been
going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
anger could be a sign of a larger health concern,
but help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
at makethconnection dot net and learn how you can support

(43:53):
the veterans.

Speaker 13 (43:53):
In your life.

Speaker 16 (43:55):
Treatment works, recovery is possible.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
The first thing today by Joe Thomas on the TNK
Media network.

Speaker 6 (44:27):
Is this still telling us that Windows ten is not
sufficient anymore to do what we needed to do.

Speaker 30 (44:34):
Really, you're a mean one, mister Grinch, you really are.
You're as cudley as a cactus. You're as charming as
any mister grin. Just try to ll up at banana

(44:58):
with the greasy.

Speaker 6 (45:00):
Black you know somewhere banana growers are making fun of
our product. We're assuming you. Doctor Clark was on the
phone with us talking about, you know that the lessons learned,
you know, And I've just sent you my our greeting card,
my family greeting card. Is that is that shot of

(45:21):
the Grinch and Max staring down into whovil a gape
at the idea of Christmas coming anyway, because that's sort
of been the story of twenty twenty five for Thomas Media,
et cetera. Anyway, But but it's it's a bigger story.
But this was the brilliance of Ted Guyzel is he

(45:41):
could take big concepts and make them understandable to five
year olds in his prose and in his poetry. And
that I think is even the lorax everyone likes to,
you know, flog the lauris, Oh it's climate James. Now,

(46:03):
if you read the clock, the lora ax is simply saying,
if you need trees, don't cut all the trees down,
you know, And and you know, there's this such brilliance
in Ted Guyzell that I think we miss. And maybe
it's Ron Howard and Brian Grazer's fault for that, for ruining,
for ruining what we think of Ted Guyzell, But maybe

(46:27):
at least we can still talk about him. Am I wrong?

Speaker 28 (46:31):
I think Ted Guyzell was iron ran for five.

Speaker 6 (46:34):
Year olds, And like Winnie Mandela, his wife has done
his legacy a little bit of damage.

Speaker 19 (46:40):
I think, you know, I don't think he's been necklace
in anybody.

Speaker 6 (46:47):
Though, Okay, there's that anyway, sir, Well, you have a
blessed morning, and I hope you feel better soon, and
go take care of your critters and we'll talk to you.
And soon, af he keeps up, we'll.

Speaker 28 (47:02):
Have to call it respiratory radio or something.

Speaker 6 (47:06):
Breathe deep gathering gloom.

Speaker 4 (47:08):
Watchlights fade from every womb.

Speaker 6 (47:12):
Pensitor.

Speaker 4 (47:13):
People look back in lament. In other days useless and
you spend impassioned lovers wrestlers. One lonely man cries for
love and has none. You mother picks up and the settles.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
Some senior citizens wish.

Speaker 4 (47:32):
They were young, cold hearted orb that rules the night
removes the colors from our sight reddish gray and yellow white.
But we decide which is right and which is an illusion.

Speaker 6 (47:50):
That's what we do on this show. Boil down to
us to a little poem four three four eight eight
two four to two one seven The phone hein ran
for five years five year olds. That would be a
whole you know, that would get all the all the
Doctor Seuss books taken out of there. So I wanted
to get in real quick on this thought before we

(48:16):
run out of our on the subject of our immigrant nation,
and we're playing the clip, let's let's bring back the
clip just dearborn Michigan, USA, just in case you were
wondering if it was or not an alu akbar protest.

(48:37):
Along one of the main drags a young Jewish fella
puts his James O'Keefe hat on and goes and decides
he wants to interview some of the protesters, chanting alu akbar.

Speaker 15 (48:48):
Is on themar.

Speaker 21 (48:52):
I have a question for you guys.

Speaker 24 (48:53):
If America word again a war with someone with the
country like Iraq, who would you, guys defend America or Iraq?

Speaker 2 (48:58):
That's not permissible for us, Baca said, our brothers, that's
the only way.

Speaker 6 (49:06):
So you're want to defend America in America number one?
You know it's a it's a wonderful expose. And what
mob think sounds like kid wasn't you know? He was saying, listen,
it's not what we do. And and this was why
Muhammad Ali became Islamic was because at the time in

(49:28):
the sixties, and then upon further review and we meet
and we need more Muslims like Muhammad Ali. As just
a quick tangential fun on the subject, but what does

(49:54):
American mean? What is Americanism? I want to defend America. Okay,
what does that mean? Or you're an American nationalist? Well,
what does that mean? A nationalists are bad? Not necessarily,
the guy in the radio said, Nazis are good. No,
I didn't know. I didn't. If your nation protects the

(50:18):
rights of the minority, if your nation defends everyone's right
to associate freely with who they choose, up until when
they commit crimes against somebody else's rights. If your society
defends their right to own property and to keep it
private amongst themselves and sovereign to themselves, and will defend

(50:42):
their right to get a fair trial as a matter
of fact, will lean on the judicial system to make
it overwhelmingly counterbalanced against the state, and will do all
those things. I'm hell yeah, I'm for that nation. Support that.
For a global government too, not something here A lot

(51:04):
of talk show hosts do. I'd like to have one.
We used to have one here. And that's the best part.
That's the that's the whole how this dear mister fantasy
stuff started because nobody ilhan Omar or Bernie Sanders or
any of these people have been have had the intestical

(51:24):
fortitude to go in and say that's it. The US
Constitution stopped being relevant, it doesn't work anymore. We're voting
to cancel the US Constitution. We're convening a conference, we're
going to convene a convention of delegates, and we're going

(51:46):
to write a new constitution. We're convening a not a
convention of states. Don't confuse that they these people would
actually vote to end the use of the Constitution as
our governing document and then would establish martial law. I

(52:06):
mean this is all in how this would work. You
establish martial law while a new constitution is written, and
then they would disturb, here is our new constitution, and
it would be full of gimmes and goddas and punishing
the rich and hurting the industrious, and it would be

(52:31):
gifts for people who can't and from those who can
to those who can't, and all the other nonsense that
the left spews. I'd like to think it wouldn't pass
the idea, but the documents are still there, which means
we can bring them back. My name is Bobby.

Speaker 18 (52:53):
I'm a veteran and lost my leg to a roadside bomb.

Speaker 7 (52:56):
My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a
weightlifting champion.

Speaker 14 (53:00):
I'm Sam, I'm a veteran. My victory was finding a
career I can be proud of and supporting my family.

Speaker 11 (53:06):
America's veterans are on their most important tour, the tour
of their lives.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
I'm a veteran. My victory was going from homeless toll.

Speaker 11 (53:14):
At DAV, we're on a mission to help veterans get
the benefits they've earned.

Speaker 15 (53:19):
I'm a veteran, and my victory was finishing my education.

Speaker 11 (53:23):
DAV offers veterans of all generations a lifetime of support
for victories great and small.

Speaker 8 (53:29):
My victory was proving that disability is not a limitation.

Speaker 17 (53:33):
My victory was getting my service dog and new best friend.

Speaker 11 (53:36):
We help more than a million veterans every year as
they face and conquer their challenges.

Speaker 21 (53:41):
My victory is being able to be there for my family.

Speaker 11 (53:44):
When America's veterans win, we all win. Help us support
more victories for veterans. Go to DAV dot org.
