"Malcolm Gladwell had a Personal Tipping Point" (Thursday September 4, 2025, Hour 2) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: The notion that rights don't come from laws and don't
• 0:05
  come from the government, that come from the creator. That's
• 0:09
  what the Ronoman government.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: The first thing today on the Talk media Network by
• 0:14
  Joe Thomas, the second most famous Thomas and Charlotte's.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Jeword said, steal metem.
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: You have a day at least for work.
• 0:24
  Speaker 5: When the sun comes up, drops a pet to school.
• 0:29
  Speaker 6: Joey is everything agenda, all the treasure said and needs.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: No one that Joe's has smiled.
• 0:36
  Speaker 7: He all the AIGs.
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: Please Joe here hold these truths. Joe, good times to
• 0:48
  be a Virginian.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: So the statement that our rights do not come from
• 0:53
  our laws or our governments is extremely troubling.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: You saying that.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: As you men. Cute kid. That's for Eddie and Scottsville,
• 1:07
  who says Senator Kin whose voice you heard apparently fell
• 1:12
  on his head during the six week recess, some traumatic
• 1:16
  brain injury. We get a welfare check to Senator Kaine's office.
• 1:24
  Senator Kane, Eddie Wright should exercise the right to remain silent,
• 1:28
  but you know we can't. And you know the most
• 1:32
  troubling bit about Tim Kain's statement there is this lends
• 1:39
  the gravity of seniority.
• 1:41
  Speaker 8: This is.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: This is a senior member. This isn't the squad, This
• 1:49
  isn't il han Omar, This isn't Alexandra occasional cortex. This
• 1:57
  is Senator Tim Kain. The Clintons wanted him instead of
• 2:03
  Terry mccauliffe to be the vice president. Oh my goodness,
• 2:07
  this guy is you know, this is gravity. This is
• 2:12
  Ted Kennedy and Tip O'Neill and Pat moynihan all rolled
• 2:19
  into one. These This man walks the halls like so
• 2:25
  many great klansmen before him, I mean senators before him.
• 2:30
  This this guy is is Joe Biden without the mental decline,
• 2:35
  we presume. And that's the most troubling thing about this.
• 2:42
  And Mary writes in from Norfolk, was you well, yeah,
• 2:46
  Norfolk's done with Mary's not going to hear this unless
• 2:49
  he listens online or downloads the podcast. But she wrote
• 2:53
  in from Norfolk saying, is there any way we can
• 2:56
  recall this idiot us? Well, there is Virginia well, like
• 3:03
  most states have recall, but it is so difficult because
• 3:07
  first you have to get the multitudes of signatures that
• 3:10
  you would have to get for a statewide office. That's
• 3:12
  a heavy lift and then you would also then have
• 3:19
  to get a judge to look at those signatures and
• 3:22
  certify the fact that there's enough evidence based entirely on
• 3:28
  their arbitrage to warrant a recall. So as much as
• 3:32
  you might want, you know, we're gon we're gonna have
• 3:37
  to say that it's an unrealistic want. It's you know,
• 3:40
  like the groundhog. So I was shadowing you get six
• 3:43
  more weeks of Tim Kaine. We've got folks ringing in
• 3:46
  the line. We're just about to do our first things.
• 3:48
  Good morning, who's this?
• 3:50
  Speaker 9: This is Matt.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: Hey, Matt, can you hang on for a little bit here?
• 3:53
  Speaker 9: Sure for you?
• 3:55
  Speaker 10: I will.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Wow, something's coming now, I'm nervous. All right, let's get
• 3:59
  our first things out of the way so that we
• 4:01
  know what we're talking about. We'll tell you the news,
• 4:04
  break them up into nice little chewable gummies, and then
• 4:07
  ask you how they're impacting you. Pentagon has reinstalled a
• 4:12
  painting of one of its former superintendents. That's painting, of course,
• 4:19
  is of Robert E. Lee. It was in his Confederate
• 4:23
  uniform in the West Point Library. Twenty foot tall painting
• 4:27
  was taken down in twenty twenty two. In a fit
• 4:30
  of peak Trump administration has moved to block another offshore
• 4:34
  wind project. This time, the wind is breaking off of
• 4:38
  Martha's Vineyard, twenty nautical miles south of Martha's Vineyard, where
• 4:45
  the Obamas might not be able to see it from
• 4:47
  their beachfront home. Would generate enough power for about half
• 4:52
  the houses on Martha's Vineyard. Vice President JD. Vance in
• 4:57
  Minneapolis to visit a Nunciation Catholic church with second Lady
• 5:02
  Usha Vance. Protesters across the street yelling at the Vances
• 5:06
  as they paid tribute and laid bouquets for the children
• 5:10
  who were killed. Signs reading pro life equals pro gun
• 5:14
  safety and when you pray, move your feet. It's an
• 5:21
  expression apparently being used by those who say prayer is
• 5:25
  not sufficient. Hey, can we ask Tim Kane about that? One?
• 5:30
  Tariff's imposed on the US on India are maybe going away.
• 5:34

• 11:05

  but to help feed his little sisters, or a mother.

  the press, freedom to peaceably assemble, freedom to petition the government.

  drunk driving. A message from NITZA and the AD Council's radio.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: It's on.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: So the statement that our rights do not come from
• 13:16
  our laws or our governments is extremely troubled.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: First thing today on the Tunk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
• 13:24
  the second most famous Thomas and Charlotte's.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: The notion that rights don't come from laws and don't
• 13:45
  come from the government, but come from the creator. That's
• 13:48
  what the Iranian government believes.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, Tim might know. Tim might be actually be
• 13:53
  more conversant in what the Iranian government believes than not
• 13:58
  so much to get into actions to Barry Weiss as well.
• 14:03
  But Matt was hanging on the line. I promised that
• 14:06
  once we made it through our bill paying segment of
• 14:09
  the program, that we would go to him first. So
• 14:12
  I thank you for bringing in at four three four
• 14:14
  eight eight two four two one seven Matt, what's on
• 14:17
  your mind?
• 14:19
  Speaker 9: Well, I think it should be noted that, in simple terms,
• 14:25
  Tim Kaine is the South end of a northbound horse.
• 14:31
  But one of the things that I find fascinating about
• 14:36
  Trump derangement syndrome is that so many of these people
• 14:43
  get so apoplectic about this man did every now and
• 14:50
  again they'll actually say what's on their minds.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: That's the great points This is.
• 14:58
  Speaker 9: An element of that. Now, breaking this down a little bit, Okay,
• 15:04
  in Tim Kain's mind law, rights come from law, and
• 15:11
  they come from the government. Well, Tim Kaine is a
• 15:16
  lawmaker in the government. So does this mean that in
• 15:22
  Tim Kain's mind, right come from him?
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: Absolutely?
• 15:30
  Speaker 9: And is this not putting him in violation of one
• 15:38
  of the commandments by having a false God before God?
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: Wow, that is brilliant. You win the Mattlocke Award for
• 15:52
  us Holy.
• 15:54
  Speaker 20: You know what?
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: And of course, being you know, somebody who will purport
• 15:58
  his Catholicism to whoever is interested. I wonder if his
• 16:03
  if his priest is gonna need you know, sorry, Tim,
• 16:07
  no crackers and wine for you today.
• 16:11
  Speaker 9: If if he if he had a legitimate priest, the
• 16:16
  man gave up on him a long time ago.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: Just make sure you make the check pay You're good
• 16:23
  to see it's his Sunday, Tim, make sure the checks payable.
• 16:26
  Is it ten percent? Again?
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: Well, and I mean this is.
• 16:32
  Speaker 9: But I can assure you that Tim Kane is not
• 16:38
  alone in Washington with this thought.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: Well, this is what I said earlier. I said this,
• 16:44
  This lends seniority, this end lends gravitas, a word invented
• 16:51
  by Mario the Pious Campaign in his desperate attempt to
• 16:56
  beat George Pataki. Mario has gravitas. I'm still trying to
• 17:01
  find out where kravitaz came from. Is it gravity?
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: Is it?
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: Is it a demitas? Do you have to have a
• 17:08
  demitaz to it? I don't know, but but you know
• 17:12
  that Tim Kaine's saying this instead of even a Cory Booker.
• 17:18
  You know, these are you know, you can't have something
• 17:20
  like this said by a squattye. You can't have Ilhan
• 17:24
  Omar say it because people like, yeah whatever he said,
• 17:27
  Oh well, Tim Kaine said. It's like Patrick moynihan saying it.
• 17:31
  This is like Ted Kennedy saying it, And this is
• 17:35
  like Joe Biden is saying.
• 17:37
  Speaker 9: It at the same time, even even among Democrats, Tim
• 17:45
  Kaine is an intellectual lightweight.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: He doesn't present himself that way. But I imagine in
• 17:51
  the cloakroom, that's what they think. Oh he did.
• 17:55
  Speaker 9: He certainly doesn't understand how stunningly stupid he is. But
• 18:03
  this is you know, as as you say, as they
• 18:06
  get older, they become elder statesman. Right, the rest of
• 18:12
  us we just get senile.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: How do we apply for that kind of quotas you know,
• 18:20
  I'm not I'm not older, I'm elder.
• 18:22
  Speaker 10: Now.
• 18:23
  Speaker 9: Well, well, the first back when John Kerry was named
• 18:31
  Secretary of State, his first public speech was at the
• 18:37
  University of Virginia.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and they loved him.
• 18:42
  Speaker 9: And somebody asked, ask me, why would he come to
• 18:47
  UVA to give his first speech? And I pointed out
• 18:52
  that John Kerry is basically a six foot six mental
• 18:57
  midget and he needed to un to UVA to stand
• 19:01
  on the shoulders of Thomas Jefferson so that people would
• 19:05
  even just pay attention to him. And this is the
• 19:10
  same thing with Tim Kane in that Tim Kane is
• 19:15
  such a lightweight. I mean, Hillary Clinton did not pick
• 19:19
  him to be the vice presidential candidate because she appreciated
• 19:26
  his mental cognations. She knew that she could manipulate him
• 19:31
  and push him around and it wouldn't be any problems.
• 19:34
  She didn't have to worry about him sticking a knife
• 19:36
  in her bath.
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: And heaven forbid, they had already know Barack Obama ruined
• 19:40
  it for generations. He had already picked Joe Biden. So
• 19:44
  you know who else was in there? Oh, who's next
• 19:46
  on the list? Cain? Yeah, Cane. Yeah, It's just it's yeah,
• 19:51
  six more years. I mean, it's like the groundhog has
• 19:54
  not only seen his shadow, but then took a tinkle
• 19:57
  on it, you know, six more years of of Tim Kaine. Now,
• 20:01
  because we couldn't muster in all, in all of Christendom,
• 20:05
  we couldn't muster a campaign to hold him accountable to
• 20:08
  this kind of stuff.
• 20:10
  Speaker 9: Well, this is this is one of the unfortunate things
• 20:13
  about Virginia Republicans is that they can't even mount an
• 20:18
  organized senatorial campaign against a dunderhead like Tim Kane.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah. What is it, they say? An unerring ability to
• 20:27
  wrest defeat from the jaws of victory. Yes, well, good stuff,
• 20:34
  my friend. You know, I got to say that that's
• 20:37
  that's some good stuff right there. Uh, and and that
• 20:40
  and the whole question about whether he has violated that
• 20:43
  most important first commandment is well, you know, he's probably
• 20:49
  sitting there thinking Pope Leo is going to give him,
• 20:52
  you know, some exoneration anyway, because Pope Leo doesn't seem
• 20:56
  to believe in the Ten Commandments either or at least
• 20:58
  remember them.
• 20:59
  Speaker 9: Uh, he's probably wondering why Leo hasn't given him a
• 21:03
  call for advice.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: Yet, because he I thought he went to the Vatican
• 21:08
  to see Pope Leo. I recall a press release or
• 21:11
  something along the lines that I disregarded because it was
• 21:14
  just he probably did.
• 21:18
  Speaker 9: He probably did, because as you pointed out, he throws
• 21:22
  his Catholicism in people's faces all the time, and as
• 21:28
  a Catholic, I find that annoying.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: Well until yeah, a rainbow flag comes out and then
• 21:34
  he's quiet about it.
• 21:36
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: It's a that's where it becomes inconvenient. It's the inconvenient
• 21:40
  faith there.
• 21:42
  Speaker 9: But it's but he's but he's got no he's got
• 21:45
  no trouble with a boarding babies or anything like that.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, there's nothing in there about about any of that.
• 21:53
  Els to see if he burst into flame, as if
• 21:55
  we ask him about Leviticus.
• 22:02
  Speaker 11: In a study, it was found that thirty three percent
• 22:04
  of forty four herbal supplements had no trace of the
• 22:08

  Speaker 6: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, suv, or light truck,
• 23:14
  is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
• 23:16
  owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for,
• 23:20
  that's what you should use, but there are exceptions to
• 23:23
  the rule. Many high end or luxury vehicles call for
• 23:26
  premium or higher octane fuel, and the reason for this
• 23:29
  is not just due to the octane rating. There are
• 23:31
  better fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know too,
• 23:35
  the vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
• 23:38
  with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
• 23:41
  their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
• 23:44
  your fuel choices around say every third tank full, you
• 23:47
  may find better performance and miles per gallon because you
• 23:50
  are cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive.

• 29:29
  After some record setting stuff on ted.
• 29:32
  Speaker 25: Ze, gold and silver have stabilized a little bit. Gold
• 29:37
  is currently down about eighteen dollars, down to a half percent.
• 29:41
  It's settled at three thousand, five hundred and forty dollars.
• 29:44
  Silver got well over forty one dollars yesterday but has
• 29:50
  backed lightly to forty dollars and.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: Ninety five cents.
• 29:54
  Speaker 25: So stabilizing here and hopefully setting some support levels and
• 29:58
  then we'll see where we go from here.
• 30:00
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: I like the way you look at that. I mean,
• 30:02
  I think about settling back down at forty dollars. Announce
• 30:05
  for silver is an interesting statement. Who to thunk it there, James,
• 30:10
  And you know, people, the best part about the silver
• 30:13
  is it's a growing investment. But there's so many neat
• 30:16
  ways at jcsgold dot com to invest in silver besides
• 30:20
  just buying bars at silver. That's exactly right.

• 30:54
  you too. I don't know. I was always into the
• 30:56
  old mismatism, but the new mismatism really compelling. A couple
• 31:01
  of emails earlier, we were reporting that CBS is purchasing
• 31:06
  Barry Weiss and her services in battled New York Times
• 31:11
  reporter who took a stand against the left while being
• 31:14
  a member of the left. This one I find see.
• 31:18
  This is someone who listens to this program a lot.
• 31:21
  Mike writes in he said, Joe, are you taking this
• 31:25
  somewhat dubious stance on Barry Weiss because you really have
• 31:29
  concerns about her? You're just trying to make some hay
• 31:33
  and take a differing view on things to get some clicks.
• 31:37
  Or is this going to be another one of those
• 31:40
  I told you sos in six months time. Well, I
• 31:43
  hope it's not and I told you so. And Bill
• 31:45
  Maher I always liked Bill Maher, even when he was
• 31:50
  just sold out woke and hey, did we save the
• 31:57
  clip of apparently the whistleblowers are coming out of the
• 32:04
  woodwork to drop dime on the pressure campaigns. Malcolm Gladwell
• 32:14
  said he was pressured into a statement on trends and
• 32:18
  women's sports, boys playing girls sports ostensibly now well, the
• 32:23
  left report on this. But I mean, even in the
• 32:26
  height of his woke sellout, I always thought Bill Maher
• 32:31
  I would listen to him saying, is this the same?
• 32:33
  It would be like tuning in and hearing George Carlin
• 32:36
  be woke. And I'll be the first one to say,
• 32:42
  don't define yourself by what you're against, because you wind up.
• 32:46
  And that's what happened to Bill Maher is. Bill Maher
• 32:48
  eventually wound up finding himself aligned with the left because
• 32:53
  he was against guys like George W. Bush and the
• 32:56
  Patriot Act and things that. To be fair, you and
• 32:58
  I have argued about. I sleep very well at night,
• 33:03
  but Joe, he's a Republican. I don't. Can Republicans be wrong?
• 33:09
  Can Democrats be right? They used to be able to.
• 33:12
  I don't think they can anymore because they've sold out,
• 33:15
  Thus Gladwell's point. But no, I'm not doing it just
• 33:18
  to be pithy. I'm not doing it just to be
• 33:20
  shock jock. I'm just I am these folks who bubble
• 33:26
  up saying all very reasonable things. I was very pleased
• 33:31
  with what Barry Weiss was writing about the extreme left,
• 33:35
  But what does she want the left to be like,
• 33:38
  that's the bigger question is okay, you're against this. We
• 33:43
  went through this here in Charlottesville, our flagship city. May
• 33:46
  recall back when Charlottesville was the name on everyone's list,
• 33:50
  why it was the first word in Joe Biden's twenty
• 33:53
  twenty presidential campaign, Charlottesville. I mean, we were a hashtag,
• 33:59
  we were an epithet, We were the hometown like Salem, Massachusetts,
• 34:08
  I argue. I tell people all the time, and I've
• 34:10
  been to Salem, Massachusetts plenty of times, and our friends
• 34:12
  in Lowell may find some humor in this. I think
• 34:17
  there are more witches in Salem, Massachusetts on September fourth,
• 34:22
  twenty twenty five, than they were in the seventeenth century.
• 34:28
  Just like I believe wholeheartedly that Charlottesville got the reputation
• 34:33
  of being this home of white supremacists and Nazis because
• 34:36
  one kid decided he wanted to oppose a black city councilor,
• 34:41
  and everyone followed him because they didn't like the black
• 34:44
  city councilor until they realized, oh, crap, that's David Duke
• 34:48
  standing there. What's this blood and soil crap? I mean,
• 34:52
  he's got a right to say it. I'm not saying
• 34:54
  he doesn't have a free speech right to say it,
• 34:56
  but we had crucified the police chief because he had
• 35:00
  a clan group to hold a legally licensed rally. Let
• 35:05
  them talk, let them say how crazy they are. I
• 35:09
  watched it happen. This is Malcolm Gladwell now whistleblowing on
• 35:18
  boys playing girls' sports. So I think I said with
• 35:22
  Barry Weiss, it's easy to say what you're against, Tell
• 35:25
  me what you're for. What is the right? Are you
• 35:28
  looking at the Bill of Rights saying that's what we
• 35:30
  need to get back to or is it something else?
• 35:33
  That's what I really need to know more about Barry
• 35:35
  Weiss before I jump in. But is she going to
• 35:38
  be better than the previous CBS News anchors or CBS
• 35:41
  News directors. Yeah, I think going in she's already going
• 35:46
  to be to a degree it.
• 35:47
  Speaker 26: Would be I suspect near unanimity in the room that
• 35:53
  trans athletes have no place in the female category. The
• 35:58
  reason I'm ashamed of my performance of that panel because
• 36:02
  I share your position one hundred and I was could
• 36:08
  the idea of saying anything.
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: On this issue.
• 36:10
  Speaker 8: I was.
• 36:12
  Speaker 26: In a I believe in retrospect in a dishonest way.
• 36:15
  Speaker 23: I was.
• 36:16
  Speaker 26: I was objective in a dishonest.
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: Way, objective in a dishonest way. That's that's what a
• 36:23
  professorial person does to launder their reputation. But how many
• 36:37
  other people aren't as courageous as gladwell at pointing out
• 36:42
  that they were pressured into taking a position. And this
• 36:46
  is what these marches, this is what the one hundred
• 36:50
  white women in Black Lives Matter t shirts are designed
• 36:54
  to do, is to make you think, I don't want
• 36:56
  to have the community against me if you believe something
• 37:01
  that you guess who? Guess who? The grand Lord high
• 37:05
  mugwump of all people who flew in the face of
• 37:09
  convention was it's a carpenter rabbi from Galilee said my
• 37:17
  temple is failing me, and everyone said, shut up and
• 37:20
  get in line. It's the temple. How dare you challenge
• 37:24
  temple leadership? It's the temple for Heaven's sake? Are you
• 37:29
  a sinner? Are you putting putting yourself ahead of God?
• 37:33
  Are you breaking the First Commandment? Have you been getting
• 37:36
  speech writing tips from Tim Kaine? But he was right,
• 37:43
  and look at what, Yeah, it just text message. Look
• 37:46
  at what that got him, Joe, But look at what
• 37:49
  it got the rest of us.
• 37:53
  Speaker 23: Not.
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: It's not just what you're against, what are you for?
• 37:56
  And that's how Malcolm Gladwell got co opted.
• 38:01
  Speaker 24: Can you believe with all the recent violent protests, looting
• 38:05
  and destruction, some areas are considering either defunding or.
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: Abolishing the police.
• 38:11
  Speaker 24: At a time when America's neighborhoods need the protection of
• 38:14
  police the most, some elected officials would rather create more
• 38:17

• 39:08
  bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
• 39:13
  am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 39:19
  optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 39:23
  nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 39:27
  reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 39:32
  The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 39:37
  has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 39:42
  cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 39:46
  in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

  Speaker 27: Hi, Zach Hannah and it's always a boy. Growing up
• 41:01
  on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 41:05
  I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 41:07
  but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 41:09
  birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
• 41:13
  who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
• 41:15
  who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
• 41:18
  for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
• 41:21
  them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
• 41:23
  of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 41:26
  best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 41:30
  at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 41:33
  perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
• 41:36
  at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
• 41:38
  from PTSS they work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
• 41:41
  a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
• 41:44
  variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
• 41:47
  help those in need. So please join me an American
• 41:50

  Speaker 2: Amaze your friends. Here in the First Thing Today by
• 44:15
  Joe Thomas, tell me this is.
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: All we kind big news and I have low friends
• 44:29
  in high places. You know, she told you this story
• 44:35
  last week and must leave when.
• 44:38
  Speaker 8: You have.
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: She's coming home this Christmas Day, so remember I told
• 45:02
  you last week. Trans Hiberian Orchestra announced the dates of
• 45:07
  their twenty twenty five Christmas Tour or Christmas Eve No
• 45:11
  Ghost of Christmas Eve twenty twenty five, and they are
• 45:14
  coming to a bunch of towns others. I've known the
• 45:17
  band since their inception personally and not just promotionally, and
• 45:23
  became great friends with Paul O'Neill. Was devastated when I
• 45:26
  heard of his passing. Al pat Trelly, unfortunately, because of
• 45:31
  the nature of the industry, doesn't get his due as
• 45:35
  one of the great innovative guitar players of our time.
• 45:38
  Everyone's like, oh, it's an e Van hell and oh
• 45:42
  nobody's changed the world or changed the perception of the
• 45:45
  guitar like Al Patrelly has. But that's just my opinion
• 45:49
  where I sit, and that's what you tune in for.
• 45:51
  But the good news, the good news is I went
• 45:54
  to the folks that run the band and they they
• 45:59
  saw the list of cities that we are now carried
• 46:02
  in for years. It was just usually and on a
• 46:04
  couple of blessed occasions I got to be the presenting
• 46:08
  radio station, and that was such an honor to go
• 46:10
  up on stage with the guys and hand a big
• 46:13
  check over to a local charity, which is one of
• 46:16
  the things. If you've never seen Trans Siberian Orchestra Number one,
• 46:21
  you can't help but be in the Christmas spirit when
• 46:24
  you're done, and I mean the right Christmas spirit.
• 46:28
  Speaker 8: Not the.
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: You know, the baubles and foibles that the Gringe tried
• 46:33
  to steal and it's been an honor to present them.
• 46:39
  But now we're on in all of these cool cities
• 46:43
  like Youngstown, Ohio, where I believe they kick the tour off,
• 46:46
  or Colorado's Springs. And I talked to the band and
• 46:53
  I said, can we come up with a way without
• 46:56
  getting in trouble with Live Nation. Lord knows we don't
• 46:59
  need that, without getting in trouble with the affiliate stations.
• 47:03
  Please don't call wyoh and say here you are giving
• 47:08
  away tickets. Now they are not. They carry this program
• 47:13
  in Youngstown and I have the tickets. We will be
• 47:17
  giving away a pair of tickets each two November sixteenth
• 47:21
  in Youngstown November sixteenth, Colorado Springs for our friends and KPPF.
• 47:26
  I have a pair of tickets for the November nineteenth
• 47:30
  show kb JA in Salt Lake City, our friends KUFO
• 47:36
  and kfi R and Portland and Cornwallis will have a
• 47:40
  pair of tickets for the Portland show on November twenty third,
• 47:44

  December fourteenth. Dear friends, JT and everyone at WGSO in
• 48:18
  New Orleans December seventeenth, Belmont, Queens, New York, my old
• 48:24
  stomping grounds. We'll have to remember to tell them on
• 48:27
  Saturday when we're on WRCN or are we on this
• 48:30
  whole week? You know it's like a holiday fill in,
• 48:33
  but also Saturday WRCN on Long Island will be giving
• 48:37
  away a pair of tickets to the Belmont, New York
• 48:40
  show for our friends. That I said, I heard that
• 48:43
  our friends in Newburgh, WGNY are flipping to all sports,
• 48:48
  so I guess you get to debate. You know, who
• 48:51
  was one Soto worth it? I'm sorry about that. Tell
• 48:56
  the folks at wgnway we do sports too. Mac will
• 48:59
  be along in a little while. But WGCH and Greenwich
• 49:03
  such an honor to be back on in my mom's hometown.
• 49:06
  Spent so much of my childhood there. But we'll give
• 49:09
  away tickets to the Newark, New Jersey show for our
• 49:12
  friends at WGH and Greenwich. San Antonio, remember, you know,
• 49:17
  because they only get an hour of the program klup,
• 49:20
  we're going to have to do that one in the
• 49:22
  first hour. So when we give away the San Antonio
• 49:25
  ticket show in Minneapolis, Minnesota, man, they need a Trans
• 49:29
  Siberian Orchestra show. Kd Iz listeners will get a chance
• 49:33
  to win tickets to the show on December twenty eighth.
• 49:36
  So I appreciate everyone tuning in and listening. And if
• 49:39
  you're into a road trip and you're listening at KFAR
• 49:42
  and Fairbanks, Alaska, and you want to drive down to
• 49:46
  Portland to see the show. Who am I to say no?
• 49:49
  But we'll set up for these shows. We have a
• 49:53
  pair of tickets to each one of these shows. And
• 49:55
  so neat that they were gracious enough to share this.
• 50:00
  Some reaction to Malcolm Gladwell, Joe, I've read the tipping
• 50:06
  Point seventeen times ever since I first heard about it
• 50:10
  on the radio. And so which one of the influencers
• 50:17
  was Malcolm Gladwell. Was he being a connector, a mavin
• 50:21
  or a salesman? Well, I think in his confession he
• 50:25
  was being used by the mavins or by the salesman
• 50:30
  to appear as a mavin in the case of should
• 50:33
  boys be playing girls' sports? And there's another sociological philosophy
• 50:39
  that you have to think about in terms of the
• 50:42
  Overton window, because try to imagine a world ten years ago,
• 50:50
  ten years ago, twenty fifteen, Donald Trump has just announced
• 50:55
  that he's going to run for president, has just come
• 50:57
  down the golden escalator. Hillary's going to run for the
• 51:03
  Democratic nomination twenty fifteen. Where we was the concept of
• 51:09
  boys playing girls' sports even a thing? No, But that
• 51:13
  you start talking about it, and you start talking about it,
• 51:16
  and then people on the other side have to oppose it,
• 51:20
  and then in that opposition you create a reality. And
• 51:25
  that's how the Overton window moves from a place where
• 51:28
  it would just be insane, from a world that wrote
• 51:31
  Title nine to make sure that girls had athletic opportunities
• 51:38
  to win scholarships, to a world where we're talking about
• 51:41
  boys taking those athletic scholarship opportunities away from the girls
• 51:46
  by playing on their sports teams. That is a master's
• 51:52
  class in how the Overton window works, because by simply
• 51:57
  bringing up the concept, you get a couple full of
• 52:00
  Leah Thomas's out there, and then it normalizes it because
• 52:07
  then you're debating it. Well, if you're debating it, there
• 52:10
  must be a there there, And once you've acknowledged that
• 52:14
  there's a there there, you're you're halfway past the window.
• 52:23
  Speaker 26: Ashamed of my performance of that panel because I share
• 52:27
  your position one hundred percent, and I was cold the
• 52:32
  idea of saying anything on this issue.
• 52:34
  Speaker 20: I was.
• 52:36
  Speaker 26: In a I believe in retrospect in a dishonest way.
• 52:40
  Was I was objective in a dishonest way.
• 52:43
  Speaker 4: So it was a maven being used by the salespeople
• 52:46
  to take the premise set up in the tipping point.
• 52:51
  You know, it's true. Difficult times have a way of
• 52:53
  focusing us.
• 52:55
  Speaker 16: We have to think about what matters most when it
• 52:57
  comes to our spending our healthcare. This is why so
• 53:00
  oh many people are joining meta share right now. Metashare
• 53:04
  is a trusted way to save up to fifty percent
• 53:06
  on your monthly healthcare costs. More than four hundred thousand
• 53:09
  people have already made the switch. It's pretty obvious why too,
• 53:13
  especially now during this challenging season with health care costs
• 53:17
  and out of pocket expenses going up. Meta share can
• 53:20
  save you a.
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: Lot of money.
• 53:21
  Speaker 16: The typical family saves five hundred dollars a month. Medashare
• 53:25
  works too. It's been around for thirty years. Members have
• 53:28
  shared more than five billion dollars of each other's bills.
• 53:31
  There are different options to choose from to fit your budget.
• 53:34
  I'll give you the number here in a second, and
• 53:35
  if you call, you can get a price within two minutes.
• 53:38
  Maybe now it is the perfect time to make the
• 53:40
  switch and start saving. Here you go call eight five
• 53:44
  five share forty. That's eight five five shre forty eight
• 53:48
  five five share forty
