"Rights is Rights" (FTTxJT Fri 103026 hr4) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:01
Speaker 1: This is Independence from Virginia, again, first thing today, by
0:07
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
0:10
Speaker 2: Joe works at a steel mill, works damn near every day.
0:13
Speaker 3: Leaves for work.
0:15
Speaker 4: When the sun comes up, drops.
0:17
Speaker 5: The kids to school and all the work.
0:20
Speaker 6: Joe has everything he dreamed of, all the treasures that
0:23
Speaker 6: he needs.
0:24
Speaker 7: No wonder Joe's always smiling, he only aims to please you.
0:30
Speaker 8: Yes, yes, yes. Bless you for letting me be of
0:34
Speaker 8: service to you this morning. Coming to you weekly from... No, well,
0:41
Speaker 8: that doesn't sound right. My political consultant says don't say weekly.
0:46
Speaker 8: Say every week. From our friends at City Elders, cityelders.org.
0:52
Speaker 8: They're very excited. They're having a big get-together today. Victoria
0:56
Speaker 8: Cobb from the great organization, the Family Foundation. Josh Hetzler
1:01
Speaker 8: was with us yesterday. from their legal team there as well,
1:05
Speaker 8: working on making sure that we protect our rights. And
1:10
Speaker 8: we'll continue into that. Obviously, hello, Joe, protect our rights.
1:14
Speaker 8: But you'd be amazed at how much that's a controversial
1:17
Speaker 8: subject these days because we're dealing with an ideology that
1:22
Speaker 8: says your rights come from government. Former vice presidential candidate
1:29
Speaker 8: Tim Kaine gave voice to that. He thinks that saying
1:32
Speaker 8: that your rights come from God is an offense to him.
1:37
Speaker 8: And of course it is, because he spent a life
1:39
Speaker 8: in government. Do you know, fun fact about Senator Tim Kaine,
1:44
Speaker 8: that when he was running for mayor of Richmond, he
1:49
Speaker 8: was the first campaign to ever receive campaign money from
1:54
Speaker 8: George Soros? The very first campaign George Soros ever gave
2:00
Speaker 8: money to was Tim Kaine's campaign to be mayor of
2:05
Speaker 8: the city of Richmond. Why would he invest in such
2:09
Speaker 8: an office? Why would George Soros care who the mayor
2:15
Speaker 8: of Richmond, Virginia is? Unless it was a grooming effort.
2:20
Speaker 8: And grooming, says the guy with the, 13-inch long ponytail,
2:27
Speaker 8: grooming is a very important thing. You've got to make
2:29
Speaker 8: sure that, you know, you're properly groomed. And George Soros,
2:32
Speaker 8: especially in the political world, will tell you that's very true. So,
2:38
Speaker 8: you know, be careful of some of these guys. But,
2:40
Speaker 8: you know, our rights are our rights, our right to
2:43
Speaker 8: free speech, our right to own property. And we're going
2:46
Speaker 8: to talk about that a little bit this morning where
2:48
Speaker 8: an interesting case ran into a really interesting guy who's
2:52
Speaker 8: got a case against, you know, the or case in
2:55
Speaker 8: defense of data centers in terms of property rights. And,
3:01
Speaker 8: you know, it's one of those challenges. You know, privacy, security,
3:06
Speaker 8: private property rights, all of these things. It is easy
3:09
Speaker 8: and it isn't easy because everybody wants what they want.
3:13
Speaker 8: I know. I heard the music. I know we're in
3:15
Speaker 8: a big crowd of people here at our city elders meeting,
3:18
Speaker 8: so you'd think I missed the cue to start doing
3:21
Speaker 8: our first things. But here are are the things we
3:24
Speaker 8: are working on. Under the dictionary and the word awkward
3:29
Speaker 8: is the story of how apparently the investigation into the
3:33
Speaker 8: citizenship status of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar started in the summer
3:39
Speaker 8: of 2016. If you check real quick, the summer of 2016,
3:44
Speaker 8: the Department of Justice was under the administration of one
3:49
Speaker 8: Barak Hussein Ali. Yes, Barack Obama was the one that
3:53
Speaker 8: first started looking into Ilhan Omar's citizenship. This is not
3:58
Speaker 8: in the Washington Times. This is not in the Washington
4:02
Speaker 8: Free Beacon. It's not on the Daily Signal. This is
4:05
Speaker 8: on the pages of the New York Times. They've issued
4:08
Speaker 8: a report saying that apparently it was the Obama administration
4:12
Speaker 8: that first, quote, found some evidence that her citizenship might
4:17
Speaker 8: be fraudulent. The Justice Department of today is escalating its
4:21
Speaker 8: criminal investigation into the other Dan Sullivan and how he
4:25
Speaker 8: came to be running in a race with incumbent Republican
4:29
Speaker 8: Dan Sullivan. Going back to another New York Times report
4:33
Speaker 8: that said the Democratic candidate Mary Pallotta's campaign appeared to
4:38
Speaker 8: be involved in the recruiting of the other Dan Sullivan.
4:43
Speaker 8: President Trump was in South Carolina yesterday campaigning for Senator
4:47
Speaker 8: Darlene Graham. hammering her opponent, Democrat Annie Andrews, on her
4:52
Speaker 8: position on transgender-related medical care. We should send down that
4:57
Speaker 8: story about the school board here in Virginia from the
5:00
Speaker 8: Daily Signal. Just did some radio hits, some TV hits
5:03
Speaker 8: about that. But anyway, Darlene Graham has devoted her life
5:07
Speaker 8: to the people of this state, the president said. Have
5:12
Speaker 8: any crypto coin? Don't try to use it today.
5:14
Speaker 3: $ 2.
5:14
Speaker 8: 5 billion, the largest single asset holding of Bitcoin in
5:21
Speaker 8: a bank called Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange, is all
5:26
Speaker 8: frozen today because the company got hacked, really, into a
5:30
Speaker 8: computer system in a computer-based currency. That would never happen.
5:35
Speaker 8: Speaking of computers and things that never should happen, the
5:38
Speaker 8: British government says they have lost thousands, their word, not mine,
5:44
Speaker 8: thousands of storage devices in that could hold sensitive intelligence.
5:49
Speaker 8: They don't know because they don't know where they went. Again,
5:54
Speaker 8: one of those things you would think would be important
5:57
Speaker 8: to an intelligence agency. And those are some of our
6:00
Speaker 8: first things this morning here on the Talk Media Network.
6:04
Speaker 8: And I mentioned I write for the Daily Signal. DailySignal.com
6:08
Speaker 8: is where you can find us. I cover Virginia politics.
6:11
Speaker 8: I've got a great piece, which I hope they publish.
6:14
Speaker 8: I'm still waiting for to find out if they will
6:16
Speaker 8: publish this piece on how Larry Sabato and these other
6:20
Speaker 8: prognosticators cook the books when they do their polls designed
6:24
Speaker 8: to lower turnout from conservatives. And so find it at dailysignal.com.
6:33
Speaker 8: You can also go to jcsgold.com, call them in just
6:37
Speaker 8: a little while. They open at 10 Eastern at 434-979-COIN.
6:42
Speaker 8: Silver is down to $ 50 an ounce. That's down $ 2
6:47
Speaker 8: since yesterday. I know this because I went to jcsgold.com.
6:52
Speaker 8: You can see that gold is down to $ 3, 964. 78 an
6:58
Speaker 8: ounce as well. It is optimized for a smartphone too.
7:01
Speaker 9: Let's see, if something costs less, a lot less, but
7:04
Speaker 9: people are actually happier with it, that sounds like something
7:07
Speaker 9: to look into.
7:08
Speaker 4: And that's Metashare.
7:10
Speaker 9: Maybe you've heard joining MediShare can save you or your
7:12
Speaker 9: family up to $ 500 a month, and that's huge, but
7:16
Speaker 9: it's also true. People are just happier with it. They
7:18
Speaker 9: love being part of something that reflects and promotes their
7:21
Speaker 9: values and what they believe in.
7:23
Speaker 4: MediShare works, too.
7:24
Speaker 9: It's been around for 30 years now, and members have
7:27
Speaker 9: shared more than $ 7 billion of each other's bills. People
7:31
Speaker 9: love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network, so MediShare.
7:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, really, you can save a ton and like it better.
7:37
Speaker 9: Imagine being happy with how you're taking care of your
7:40
Speaker 9: health care, whether you're self-employed or part of the gig economy,
7:43
Speaker 9: or you just want a plan that you're happy with.
7:46
Speaker 8: Here you go.
7:46
Speaker 9: You can call right now and get a price within
7:48
Speaker 9: two minutes. A very, very smart use of two minutes.
7:51
Speaker 9: Here's the number you need.
7:52
Speaker 8: It's 855-SHARE-40. 855-S-H-A-R-E-40. 855-SHARE-40.
8:04
Speaker 5: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
8:07
Speaker 5: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
8:13
Speaker 5: I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
8:18
Speaker 5: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
8:22
Speaker 5: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
8:26
Speaker 5: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
8:31
Speaker 5: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
8:36
Speaker 5: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer,
8:43
Speaker 5: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
8:46
Speaker 5: many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy
8:51
Speaker 5: cells even from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to
8:57
Speaker 5: look good, feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
9:02
Speaker 10: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
9:05
Speaker 10: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
9:10
Speaker 10: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
9:13
Speaker 10: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
9:16
Speaker 10: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
9:21
Speaker 10: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
9:25
Speaker 10: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
9:29
Speaker 10: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
9:33
Speaker 10: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
9:37
Speaker 10: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
9:42
Speaker 10: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
9:46
Speaker 10: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
9:53
Speaker 10: Share this information with your friends and family.
9:58
Speaker 1: Hi, everybody.
9:59
Speaker 11: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
10:01
Speaker 11: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
10:04
Speaker 11: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
10:06
Speaker 11: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
10:08
Speaker 11: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
10:12
Speaker 11: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
10:15
Speaker 11: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
10:17
Speaker 11: their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows them
10:21
Speaker 11: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
10:23
Speaker 11: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
10:26
Speaker 11: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
10:30
Speaker 11: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving
10:33
Speaker 11: work every day Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
10:36
Speaker 11: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
10:39
Speaker 11: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
10:42
Speaker 11: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
10:44
Speaker 11: trained roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
10:48
Speaker 11: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
10:50
Speaker 11: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
10:53
Speaker 11: planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
10:59
Speaker 12: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
11:01
Speaker 13: Oh, yeah?
11:01
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
11:04
Speaker 2: And now a speech.
11:06
Speaker 14: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
11:10
Speaker 5: Heart and brain.
11:12
Speaker 8: Who's with me?
11:13
Speaker 11: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
11:15
Speaker 2: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
11:18
Speaker 2: somebody call me a ride.
11:19
Speaker 15: Love that guy.
11:20
Speaker 16: Me too.
11:21
Speaker 14: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
11:23
Speaker 14: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
11:28
Speaker 17: Did you know that more than half our household energy
11:31
Speaker 17: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
11:35
Speaker 17: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
11:39
Speaker 17: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
11:42
Speaker 17: energy assessment. Your utility company can help. Or you can
11:46
Speaker 17: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
11:51
Speaker 17: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors.
11:54
Speaker 17: Check ducts for holes and improve your insulation. Another time
11:58
Speaker 17: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
12:00
Speaker 17: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
12:04
Speaker 17: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
12:08
Speaker 17: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
12:11
Speaker 17: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.

Speaker 3: As a family member or friend, you may be the
12:32
Speaker 3: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
12:35
Speaker 3: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
12:40

Speaker 1: didn't cost anything in the first place, so let's say...
13:19
Speaker 1: One million dollars! And call it even. First Thing Today
13:24
Speaker 1: by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
13:28
Speaker 16: Hi.
13:28
Speaker 3: Wait, what?
13:44
Speaker 8: Coming again? It is the most important thing. If we're
13:53
Speaker 8: going to be self-governing, then we better learn to be self-governing.
13:57
Speaker 8: At 434-882-4217 this morning. We've got Bob's on the line
14:03
Speaker 8: from Good for America podcast. Also, I want to get
14:07
Speaker 8: this guy in here. We pushed him off of yesterday. But,
14:10
Speaker 8: you know, so many folks want to have a say
14:13
Speaker 8: at what's going on in the world. We can't live
14:16
Speaker 8: by the business model that I want to hear how
14:19
Speaker 8: the news of the day is impacting you unless we
14:22
Speaker 8: hear from you. Kareem is on the line at 434-882-4217.
14:26
Speaker 8: How was Tennessee yesterday, Kareem?
14:31
Speaker 6: Tennessee turned beautiful.
14:33
Speaker 18: Yeah, it is.
14:33
Speaker 8: The first thing my wife said to me when we
14:35
Speaker 8: hit Tennessee earlier this year when we drove to Dallas,
14:40
Speaker 8: she said, Tennessee's roads are really clean. And that was
14:44
Speaker 8: just the interstates. And then we stopped in Chattanooga, and
14:48
Speaker 8: it was a great time there. They were terrific folks there.
14:53
Speaker 8: We went up over the river. The overlook there was
14:55
Speaker 8: just incredible. But I'm glad you had a good time
14:58
Speaker 8: down there. Where are you today?
15:01
Speaker 6: Right now, I'm in southern Virginia near the middle of
15:03
Speaker 6: the Florida border. And fortunately, today's Friday, and it's almost
15:08
Speaker 6: my free day. So I'm thankful I'm getting to be
15:11
Speaker 6: close to home, and hopefully I'm making home tonight.
15:13
Speaker 8: All right. Well, there's a drive well this morning. And,
15:16
Speaker 8: of course, obviously, we support hands-free operation of your cell phones.
15:22
Speaker 8: Don't look at the radio funny. Hands-free operation, please. Kareem,
15:26
Speaker 8: so what's on your mind?
15:28
Speaker 6: I'll never willingly admit to doing anything illegal, so I'm
15:30
Speaker 6: right there with you. But honestly, there's a lot to
15:35
Speaker 6: pull out here. That billion-dollar hack, excuse me, multiple billion-dollar
15:40
Speaker 6: hack of Binance, those funds are frozen. So people like
15:44
Speaker 6: to say, oh, you can go to crypto because it's freedom.
15:48
Speaker 8: It's untethered. No, this is a prime example. You can't
15:51
Speaker 8: get it.
15:52
Speaker 19: Gold and silver.
15:54
Speaker 6: They're classic for a reason. They can't be beat. So
15:58
Speaker 6: setting that one aside, there obviously may be more stories
16:02
Speaker 6: from that next week that may be interesting. But setting
16:05
Speaker 6: that aside, we can look at the voter rolls in California.
16:11
Speaker 6: Just for example, that judge said that there's 20,000. That's
16:16
Speaker 6: just what they, the tribunal station is pointing out.
16:19
Speaker 1: There's more than that.
16:20
Speaker 6: Back in 2017, Judicial Watch, which is known for nationwide
16:26
Speaker 6: being efficient, effective in getting.
16:28
Speaker 1: Bad voter rolls off.
16:31
Speaker 6: They found or they got California to admit there was 1.4, 1.7
16:37
Speaker 6: million inactive voters on their rolls. And so California took
16:41
Speaker 6: care of that. Now, Joe, that's not the most in
16:44
Speaker 6: the nation. Wisconsin, and I don't know all 50, but
16:47
Speaker 6: Wisconsin themselves have over four and a half million inactive
16:51
Speaker 6: voters and they only got four and a half million adults.
16:55
Speaker 8: It's a one for one there. You know, and here's
16:58
Speaker 8: here's the interesting thing. And I mentioned my friend Angelina
17:01
Speaker 8: Delphine from Daily Signal. She's one of our California correspondents.
17:05
Speaker 8: She herself at her address has received five mail in
17:09
Speaker 8: ballot to vote. used, all sent to people who don't
17:15
Speaker 8: live there anymore, may not be living at all anymore.
17:17
Speaker 8: And this is where these inactive roles become so important.
17:24
Speaker 6: JoJo does 2,000 meals documentary that if people want to say, oh,
17:28
Speaker 6: how did that actually happen? Just like you said, she said,
17:31
Speaker 6: if she were slightly immoral or unethical, she would sign
17:35
Speaker 6: each one of those, vote and sign each one of
17:37
Speaker 6: those and send them in. But they don't do any
17:40
Speaker 6: signature checks in nationwide. It doesn't matter what standard she used.
17:45
Speaker 8: Before you go, I want to insert here that this
17:48
Speaker 8: goes back to my statement at the onset of the break.
17:50
Speaker 8: In order to be self-governing, we need to learn to
17:53
Speaker 8: be self-governing. There are way too many people that think that,
17:57
Speaker 8: you know, if she signed all those with different names
18:00
Speaker 8: and voted, that's just, you know, she's just trying to
18:03
Speaker 8: win an election. That's fraud on multiple levels, using the
18:08
Speaker 8: Postal Service to commit fraud, fraud in general, election fraud.
18:12
Speaker 8: I mean, there were a lot of years in Leavenworth
18:15
Speaker 8: and people would. defend folks who did that saying, oh,
18:19
Speaker 8: she's just trying to make sure her voice is heard.
18:21
Speaker 8: That's crazy that we've devalued fraud so much.
18:28
Speaker 6: It is true, and I'm thinking that's because local government,
18:30
Speaker 6: that's what they depend on to stay in office. Joe,
18:34
Speaker 6: these aliens that they've been convicting, not arresting, not a
18:38
Speaker 6: grand jury down a hand sandwich, no, convicting people who
18:42
Speaker 6: have voted in multiple elections who were longtime illegal aliens.
18:46
Speaker 6: But moving from that one, going to this Larry Sabato. Joe,
18:51
Speaker 6: that's tip of the iceberg. This company found out to
18:54
Speaker 6: be doing fake polling, which caused a candidate to literally
18:57
Speaker 6: drop out against El-Said.
19:00
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's in my column. We talk about Wedgeworth or
19:06
Speaker 8: Wedgie or whatever it is, company that admitted this. I mean,
19:09
Speaker 8: this was admitted fraud.
19:12
Speaker 6: Well, Jeff, you're on the wedgie now, that's for sure. But, Joe,
19:15
Speaker 6: the way this is moving– oh, thank you, Joe, you're
19:17
Speaker 6: too kind. But the way this is moving, Joe, there's
19:20
Speaker 6: going to be a big investigation next year. Chris LaCivita
19:25
Speaker 6: helped spend over a billion dollars this election cycle for
19:28
Speaker 6: two things– The Senate.
19:31
Speaker 19: And the House.
19:32
Speaker 6: Let me know how that billion dollars was well spent.
19:35
Speaker 6: Hayden lied on polls, not from Wedgwood, but from credited
19:38
Speaker 6: people who had a long time being. And there are
19:41
Speaker 6: two pollsters I know of that got offered fortunes, but
19:44
Speaker 6: turned it down. And one of them lost his job
19:46
Speaker 6: because of it. Joe, you have a great weekend.
19:48
Speaker 8: Thank you for your time. God bless you.
19:50
Speaker 18: Sir.
19:50
Speaker 8: I appreciate it. Thank you for your call at 434-882-4217
19:56
Speaker 8: this morning here coming to you from the City Elders
19:59
Speaker 8: meeting where, you know, getting ready and having a little
20:02
Speaker 8: sing-along to get things started. Victoria Cobb going to be
20:05
Speaker 8: here in a little while to talk about some of
20:08
Speaker 8: these where you're criminalizing And this is a scary place.
20:15
Speaker 8: Think about the governments where disagreeing with the government got
20:20
Speaker 8: you thrown in jail. And we can back and forth
20:27
Speaker 8: January 6th, etc. But when you look at the history
20:35
Speaker 8: of governments that have gone out of their way to
20:39
Speaker 8: punish by arrest and imprisonment, whether it's South Africa, certainly
20:44
Speaker 8: one of the most celebrated cases with Nelson Mandela. But India, China,
20:51
Speaker 8: you know, if you dissent all the way back to
20:55
Speaker 8: the Romans, the Romans didn't throw you in prison as
20:57
Speaker 8: much as they threw you in with the lions. We
21:01
Speaker 8: have had a culture of governments that believe that their
21:05
Speaker 8: hold on power has to be driven by unanimous consent.
21:11
Speaker 8: And the only way they can get to unanimous consent
21:15
Speaker 8: is if they get rid of all the people who dissent.
21:18
Speaker 8: And this country was built to defend that. We have
21:21
Speaker 8: to defend, as the old Voltairian said, I will defend
21:28
Speaker 8: to the death your right to say those very things
21:32
Speaker 8: that I find to be offensive. And, you know, I
21:37
Speaker 8: don't fear those things because I can defend what I
21:41
Speaker 8: stand for. And I can also understand that you can
21:44
Speaker 8: have a difference of opinion as long as you don't
21:46
Speaker 8: try to force me to follow your opinion because you
21:51
Speaker 8: have guns and I don't or you have police officers
21:54
Speaker 8: and I don't. This has got to be stopped because
21:56
Speaker 8: the precedent that's going to be set by this is
21:59
Speaker 8: gonna be unbreakable.
22:01
Speaker 16: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National Lead Trainer for Planet Fitness,
22:04
Speaker 16: and the American Heart Association recommends that we all get
22:08
Speaker 16: at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity in a
22:11
Speaker 16: week's time. But here's the thing, that 150 minutes does
22:15
Speaker 16: not need to be super intense. As a matter of fact,
22:17
Speaker 16: it could just be you moving your body and doing
22:19
Speaker 16: what you already love to do, like exercise. And a
22:22
Speaker 16: stronger heart doesn't just mean cardio, right? It means also
22:26
Speaker 16: infusing your workout routines with strength training as well. So
22:29
Speaker 16: we are super excited to be launching our new plate-loaded
22:33
Speaker 16: strength series and all of our gyms. It's already fitted
22:36
Speaker 16: in 1,700 locations with the goal to have all 2,700
22:40
Speaker 16: fitted by the end of 2025.
22:43
Speaker 1: So if you need more information, go to our.

Speaker 16: and most of our gyms being open 24 hours, there's
22:54
Speaker 16: bound to be one close by you.
22:56
Speaker 13: For decades, America's offshore oil industry has relied on Port Fouchon, Louisiana.
23:01
Speaker 13: But now, as wind energy continues to grow, many of
23:05
Speaker 13: these vessels, these companies, these people are building and servicing
23:09
Speaker 13: the offshore wind industry. Moving equipment, installing turbines, transporting crews,
23:14
Speaker 13: it's a huge opportunity, and we're proud to be.
23:16
Speaker 18: A part of that.
23:17
Speaker 7: U.S.
23:17
Speaker 12: Offshore wind has already announced over $ 25 billion in infrastructure investments.

Speaker 4: Let's see, if something costs less, but people are happier
23:29
Speaker 4: with it, maybe you've heard switching to MediShare to pay
23:32
Speaker 4: for health care can save the typical family 500 bucks
23:35
Speaker 4: a month. You can save a ton and like it better.
23:38
Speaker 9: Imagine being happy with how you're taking care of your
23:41

24:03
Speaker 5: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
24:07
Speaker 5: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin.
24:10
Speaker 8: Products on the market.
24:12
Speaker 5: Hi, I'm Dr.
24:13
Speaker 8: Mitch.
24:14
Speaker 5: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
24:19
Speaker 5: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
24:24
Speaker 5: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
24:28
Speaker 5: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
24:32
Speaker 5: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
24:39
Speaker 5: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer. or at
24:43
Speaker 5: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances,
24:46
Speaker 5: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
24:51
Speaker 5: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
24:57
Speaker 5: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
25:02
Speaker 10: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
25:05
Speaker 10: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
25:10
Speaker 10: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
25:13
Speaker 10: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
25:17
Speaker 10: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
25:21
Speaker 10: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
25:26
Speaker 10: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
25:29
Speaker 10: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
25:33
Speaker 10: personal information like your Social Security number or bank account
25:38
Speaker 10: or send money in any form cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
25:42
Speaker 10: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
25:46
Speaker 10: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General at oig.ssa.gov.
25:55
Speaker 12: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
25:56
Speaker 6: Oh, yeah?
25:57
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
25:59
Speaker 2: And now a speech.
26:02
Speaker 20: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
26:06
Speaker 5: Heart and brain.
26:07
Speaker 18: Who's with me?
26:08
Speaker 11: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
26:10
Speaker 13: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
26:13
Speaker 13: somebody call me a ride.
26:15
Speaker 15: Love that guy.
26:16
Speaker 21: Me too.
26:17
Speaker 14: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
26:19
Speaker 14: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
26:23
Speaker 17: Did you know that more than half our household energy
26:26
Speaker 17: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
26:30
Speaker 17: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
26:34
Speaker 17: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
26:36
Speaker 17: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
26:40
Speaker 17: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
26:46
Speaker 17: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
26:49
Speaker 17: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
26:53
Speaker 17: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
26:55
Speaker 17: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
26:58
Speaker 17: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
27:02
Speaker 17: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
27:05
Speaker 17: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
27:09
Speaker 17: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
27:12

28:12
Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
28:20
Speaker 8: As a tribute to our dear friend, Max Headroom, you know,
28:27
Speaker 8: here this morning with you at our City Elders meeting, get-together,
28:31
Speaker 8: 434- 882-4217. Text messages as well, because mornings are crazy there. And,
28:41
Speaker 8: you know, it's something Kareem mentioned. And understand the point
28:44
Speaker 8: of dissent and who is against dissenting voices. If you
28:50
Speaker 8: understand why the agenda of communism is to eliminate the
28:56
Speaker 8: United States, it's because they understand that given the choice,
29:01
Speaker 8: and we have proof of this now, As Gorbachev tried
29:04
Speaker 8: to reform the Soviet Union, it became more and more
29:09
Speaker 8: obvious that those ideologies of American freedoms and music and
29:18
Speaker 8: things like that, the folks who had grown up under communism,
29:24
Speaker 8: when you think about it, this is 1989, this is 1990.
29:29
Speaker 8: So you're talking about third generation communists. These are people
29:34
Speaker 8: who maybe grandma might have remembered some time, you know
29:38
Speaker 8: maybe she dated Rasputin who didn't but they they didn't
29:44
Speaker 8: want you to be able to see outside the iron
29:49
Speaker 8: curtain because if you did you'd say well I kind
29:52
Speaker 8: of want that because they wanted to insert themselves where
29:56
Speaker 8: the church had been and some of Vladimir Putin's magic
30:01
Speaker 8: is that he has taken what they did and kind
30:05
Speaker 8: of mixed it together with kind of more commonplace Christianity
30:09
Speaker 8: and things like that. And allowances. His is the kind
30:14
Speaker 8: of government Tim Kaine talks about when he says, your
30:17
Speaker 8: rights come from government. Bob Good on with us, host
30:21
Speaker 8: of the Good for America podcast. And we were talking
30:24
Speaker 8: about the the the the grander issue of turning dissenting
30:30
Speaker 8: opinions into criminal behavior. And that's the part that we,
30:36
Speaker 8: you know, as I said about Russia, you know, we
30:38
Speaker 8: talk about abortion, we talk about same-sex marriage, whatever it is.
30:44
Speaker 8: If you can't have a different opinion, it's become a
30:48
Speaker 8: totalitarian issue. And we forget there are truisms in there
30:54
Speaker 8: about protecting life and things like that, that we could
30:57
Speaker 8: have actual real good conversations on. But we won't be
31:03
Speaker 8: able to if this becomes law and those sorts of
31:07
Speaker 8: dissenting voices become criminalized cycle.
31:11
Speaker 23: Well, that's a sad, callous commentary that I think is
31:16
Speaker 23: unfortunately accurate and appropriate. And you think of the 60
31:21
Speaker 23: million lives of which we are deprived of today since
31:25
Speaker 23: the Roe decision just in the last 50 years, 60
31:30
Speaker 23: million who we don't have, the average age of which
31:33
Speaker 23: would be some 25 years old, who'd be contributing to
31:37
Speaker 23: our society and helping us as teachers, as pastors, as ministers,
31:42
Speaker 23: as health care workers. as first responders, as law enforcement,
31:46
Speaker 23: contributing to our economy, contributing to Social Security, contributing to
31:52
Speaker 23: the workforce, all of those things, not to mention just
31:55
Speaker 23: the value of their lives just generally. It's incredible what
32:00
Speaker 23: the pain and the loss that has been experienced as
32:03
Speaker 23: a result of this terrible tragedy that is abortion.
32:06
Speaker 8: Well, and that's the thing that I think is, you know,
32:09
Speaker 8: the most heinous in this is this presumption of we
32:12
Speaker 8: know who's got value and who doesn't before they even
32:16
Speaker 8: have a chance to show what they're here to be
32:19
Speaker 8: gifted for.
32:21
Speaker 15: Yes, exactly right.
32:22
Speaker 23: And again, that culture of death that says that, that, hey,
32:26
Speaker 23: some don't measure up or there's some things more important
32:29
Speaker 23: than your life, precious, innocent, unborn baby in the womb.
32:33
Speaker 23: There are things, the mother's convenience, the timing, whatever her
32:38
Speaker 23: other desires or ambitions might be, are more important. Or
32:43
Speaker 23: maybe you have a health issue or something. So therefore,
32:45
Speaker 23: your standard, you're not meeting the standard. You're not meeting
32:48
Speaker 23: what we think is valuable life or life worth living.
32:51
Speaker 23: As Ronald Reagan famously said many decades ago, he's noticed
32:55
Speaker 23: that everybody who's for abortion has already been born. And
32:58
Speaker 23: none of us have ever met a person who wished
33:00
Speaker 23: their mother aborted them. But we've met many people who
33:03
Speaker 23: are thankful that their mother chose life in spite of
33:06
Speaker 23: difficult circumstances.
33:08
Speaker 8: And these amendments would criminalize that because somewhere there's a
33:12
Speaker 8: young girl who's scared. Maybe, you know, the young man
33:15
Speaker 8: who's helped in this. And this is part of the issue.
33:19
Speaker 8: And I'm sorry, and I should save my rant for
33:21
Speaker 8: after you're up. But, you know, when you say the
33:24
Speaker 8: man has no role or men shouldn't have a say
33:27
Speaker 8: in legislation like this. I'm like, hey, in order for
33:30
Speaker 8: there to be the need for an abortion, there has
33:33
Speaker 8: to be a man who was involved with the young
33:35
Speaker 8: lady and apparently be, in most cases, a man who's
33:38
Speaker 8: abandoned his responsibilities to that. So, you know, gosh, we
33:43
Speaker 8: need to make Americans great again so that this doesn't
33:46
Speaker 8: even become an issue. But you think of those 60 million,
33:50
Speaker 8: add to that the amount of people who just aren't
33:54
Speaker 8: having kids anymore, even when they start a family or they,
33:57
Speaker 8: they become married to one another and they just choose
34:00
Speaker 8: not to have a family.
34:03
Speaker 23: We've devalued life and we're suffering as a result of
34:07
Speaker 23: that as a culture and a society. Look no further
34:09
Speaker 23: than Massachusetts where, again, 11 out of 12 jurors would
34:12
Speaker 23: not convict a mother of killing her children because she
34:16
Speaker 23: was under emotional, psychological, mental duress. There is a direct
34:19
Speaker 23: connection to our culture of death with abortion. But you
34:22
Speaker 23: speak to the greater issue or the larger, broader issue,
34:25
Speaker 23: if you will, that, right, we need to follow God's
34:27
Speaker 23: design for morality, marriage, and the family system.
34:30
Speaker 15: We ought not to be acting like we're married before
34:32
Speaker 15: we're having married.
34:32
Speaker 23: God designed sexual relations as between a husband and a wife,
34:36
Speaker 23: a committed marriage relationship. And again, almost everything that plagues
34:40
Speaker 23: our society is a failure to follow that. There's consequences
34:43
Speaker 23: that come with that. Children deserve to have a mother
34:45
Speaker 23: and a father who love them, raise them. It's foundational
34:49
Speaker 23: to our society, our culture, and how God created us.
34:52
Speaker 8: And we need to understand our responsibilities to one another
34:56
Speaker 8: because every time a conversation like this starts, Bob, I'm sure...
34:59
Speaker 8: You've come across this. Somebody will point to some story
35:02
Speaker 8: of a deadbeat dad or some dad who's failed in
35:05
Speaker 8: his responsibilities to his family. I'm like, yes. And we
35:09
Speaker 8: need to point those out and say.
35:10
Speaker 15: That's right. I challenge it and address it, confront it.
35:15
Speaker 15: Don't don't use it as an excuse.
35:17
Speaker 8: Exactly. Bob, Bob Good and the criminalization of this. I
35:21
Speaker 8: know the left would hate it if we said running
35:23
Speaker 8: a Planned Parenthood could get you in trouble with the law. So,
35:27
Speaker 8: you know, the same should be converse. So vote against
35:31
Speaker 8: this stuff because at some point, you know, maybe, you know,
35:33
Speaker 8: your Planned Parenthood abortionist could become, you know, a criminal
35:37
Speaker 8: just as much somebody who runs a crisis pregnancy center.
35:41
Speaker 15: Well, it should be criminal to profit off preying.
35:44
Speaker 23: Upon young mothers and helping them kill their children.
35:48
Speaker 15: But what this is intended to.
35:50
Speaker 23: Do, you're right, is to make criminals over those who
35:53
Speaker 23: are exercising religious freedom and standing against... immorality and standing
35:58
Speaker 23: against the taking of innocent practices.
36:01
Speaker 8: Bob McGood, goodforamerica.org. The applause appropriately placed here at City
36:08
Speaker 8: Elders and our weekly meeting here at Common Ground in Fishersville.
36:12
Speaker 8: It's virginiaconservativeaction.org, and I appreciate it, as always, 434-882-4217. This morning,
36:23
Speaker 8: I love it when the room just applauds at the
36:25
Speaker 8: right time to go along with the radio show. It
36:28
Speaker 8: sounds awesome when you go back over the podcast, which,
36:32
Speaker 8: by the way, you can get anytime at joethomasinthemorning.com. Same
36:37
Speaker 8: place you go to enter to win tickets to see
36:41
Speaker 8: the Trans-Siberian Orchestra in concert at a stadium near you.
36:48
Speaker 8: Their tour begins in less than a month. And I
36:52
Speaker 8: think it's November 22nd. First shows are going to be
36:55
Speaker 8: in Colorado Springs. Guys, get in there and get entering.
36:58
Speaker 8: We'll have tickets for the Colorado Springs show. Youngstown, Ohio.
37:02
Speaker 8: I know that my 1570 has finished with their hour
37:06
Speaker 8: with us. But wherever you are, we do this for
37:10
Speaker 8: four hours. I would never go on record saying you
37:13
Speaker 8: should go to a web stream when the local radio
37:16
Speaker 8: station hosts come on. because I appreciate it, but that
37:20
Speaker 8: doesn't do any help to the stations that are helping
37:23
Speaker 8: us reach out to you as well. So stay with
37:25
Speaker 8: them and then come back and get my podcast later
37:29
Speaker 8: on at 434-882-4217. We've got a break coming up here,
37:36
Speaker 8: but let me get somebody online so that we can
37:38
Speaker 8: go to you as time permits. Good morning. Who's this?
37:43
Speaker 18: Hey, Joe.
37:44
Speaker 6: It's Joel.
37:44
Speaker 20: I just wanted to say this real quick.
37:46
Speaker 8: Ten seconds real quick.
37:49
Speaker 20: I wonder why they can't use census records as a
37:53
Speaker 20: federal search on all the state's houses. Because those are
37:57
Speaker 20: records from where they had to actually document.
38:02
Speaker 5: In a study, it was found that 33% of 44
38:05
Speaker 5: herbal supplements had no trace of the advertised herb. Don't
38:10
Speaker 5: let that happen to you. Hi, this is Dr.
38:13

Speaker 12: Crime across the country is at an all-time high. It
39:05
Speaker 12: feels like even a family road trip is taking a risk.
39:08
Speaker 12: We don't want the feeling of being unprotected and vulnerable.
39:11
Speaker 12: We found GetCCL.com. GetCCL.com gave us the help we needed
39:16
Speaker 12: to apply for a legal concealed carry permit that's recognized
39:20
Speaker 12: in over half of the country. GetCCL.com simplifies the process
39:24
Speaker 12: to apply, and it's all online. We used their free
39:27
Speaker 12: qualification process to answer a few questions. and applied for
39:31
Speaker 12: our permit right from home. Thanks to reciprocity laws between states,
39:34
Speaker 12: when you're issued a New Hampshire concealed carry permit, you
39:37
Speaker 12: can legally carry in any state that recognizes your New
39:40
Speaker 12: Hampshire permit. It only takes minutes to apply, so don't wait.
39:44
Speaker 12: Exercise your rights today. You were strolling along in goodwill
39:48
Speaker 12: when just past that mid-century side table and denim jacket
39:51
Speaker 12: you spotted them, nestled in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
39:56
Speaker 16: Oh, yes!
40:15
Speaker 14: Yes!
40:16
Speaker 16: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
40:20
Speaker 16: favorite form of ear candy.
40:22
Speaker 19: Oh, my.
40:24
Speaker 22: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
40:28
Speaker 16: Shh.
40:29
Speaker 7: Do you smell that?
40:32
Speaker 22: That's the sugary scent of shopping success.
40:36
Speaker 1: For this is goodwill. And with every item.
40:39
Speaker 16: You buy, you fund local job training and more.
40:43
Speaker 1: So go forth.
40:45
Speaker 24: Bring home those donut earrings. And bring home so.
40:49
Speaker 1: Much good to your community.
40:54
Speaker 8: Goodwill.
40:55
Speaker 22: Bring good home.
40:57
Speaker 2: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
41:03
Speaker 2: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
41:08
Speaker 2: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
41:12
Speaker 2: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
41:15
Speaker 2: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
41:21
Speaker 2: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
41:24
Speaker 2: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
41:27
Speaker 2: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
41:32
Speaker 2: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
41:36
Speaker 2: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
41:41
Speaker 15: Eat better.
41:42
Speaker 5: Get moving.

Speaker 1: I'm Julius.
41:59

42:55
Speaker 22: first date?
42:56
Speaker 16: Sure.
42:57
Speaker 14: We'll probably stay together.
42:58
Speaker 8: Probably?
42:59
Speaker 21: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
43:03
Speaker 15: I can probably swim. Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
43:07
Speaker 8: Okay, don't tell me what to do.
43:09
Speaker 14: Cannonball!
43:12
Speaker 3: Cramp!
43:12
Speaker 8: I have a cramp. I can probably hit the green
43:18
Speaker 8: from here.
43:19
Speaker 4: Probably.
43:23
Speaker 23: Can I get a mulligan?
43:26
Speaker 4: Ready to go?
43:27
Speaker 12: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
43:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.
43:32
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm probably okay. Probably okay isn't okay, especially when
43:38
Speaker 8: it comes to drinking and driving.
43:40
Speaker 13: If you're drinking, call a cab, a car, or a friend.
43:43
Speaker 8: Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message brought to you
43:45

44:13
Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
44:20
Speaker 24: All across America, talk radio and the voices of freedom.
44:25
Speaker 16: Hi.
44:25
Speaker 8: Don't stop talking. Don't stop sharing. Don't stop laughing. Don't
44:32
Speaker 8: stop caring. I want to talk to your manager.
44:34
Speaker 6: As long as you've got.
44:36
Speaker 8: A voice, don't ever stop. First thing today here at
44:46
Speaker 8: the city elders meeting in Fishersville, if you don't have
44:49
Speaker 8: a city elders group where you are, get one. Joel
44:53
Speaker 8: was on the line with us when we headed to
44:55
Speaker 8: break and you were talking about census records. And like
44:59
Speaker 8: I said, it's a moving thing because a lot of
45:02
Speaker 8: these governments, especially you go back and forth, what is
45:05
Speaker 8: the rule? Obama wanted us to count whoever was here.
45:09
Speaker 8: So that can be a dodgy proposition.
45:12
Speaker 20: So it's like matching fingerprints. They've got to match their fingerprints.
45:20
Speaker 8: I ran into a guy, and you'll laugh about this,
45:23
Speaker 8: but he took great umbrage. He is a hardcore libertarian,
45:28
Speaker 8: and his point is we shouldn't have records. This is
45:32
Speaker 8: his belief, is that we shouldn't have government records regarding
45:35
Speaker 8: who we are, that if I'm someplace and I want
45:39
Speaker 8: to vote, I should be allowed to vote regardless of
45:42
Speaker 8: it because he holds that hardcore belief that a government
45:47
Speaker 8: record of who you are and where you live is
45:50
Speaker 8: a violation of his privacy.
45:53
Speaker 23: Wow.
45:54
Speaker 8: You know, I think there's a boundary in there, Joel.
45:57
Speaker 8: I mean, I'm sure you know folks like this. I mean,
45:59
Speaker 8: you can take these things, you know, too far because
46:03
Speaker 8: you need law enforcement to sort of look after your
46:07
Speaker 8: privacy and your rights, don't you?
46:10
Speaker 20: Oh, I do, but if we worry about that, we
46:12
Speaker 20: wouldn't have credit cards or have a driver's license because
46:16
Speaker 20: all that information is public.
46:17
Speaker 8: Well, a lot of my libertarian friends would say we
46:19
Speaker 8: shouldn't need those either. Let me get line two here, sir.
46:22
Speaker 8: You have a great weekend.
46:23
Speaker 14: Okay. Thanks.
46:24
Speaker 8: You too. Good morning. You're on the air with Joe.
46:28
Speaker 8: Who's this?
46:30
Speaker 14: Hey, Joe.
46:30
Speaker 3: It's Clark.
46:32
Speaker 8: Hey, Clark. So what's on your mind this morning, sir? Hey, Joe.
46:38
Speaker 8: So what's on your mind?
46:40
Speaker 19: Well, I saw a clip of Barack Hussein Obama.
46:44
Speaker 8: Okay.
46:45
Speaker 19: He was talking about affordability and why we need to.
46:50
Speaker 8: Change the house in the midterms.
46:52
Speaker 1: And I got to think, Joe.
46:54
Speaker 8: Okay.
46:54
Speaker 19: What was the signature legislation there?
46:58
Speaker 8: His name was in it. It was Obama... Obama money.
47:03
Speaker 8: Obama care.
47:04
Speaker 19: What was the name that they wanted us to call
47:06
Speaker 19: it by? Not Obama care, once it wasn't good and
47:08
Speaker 19: he didn't want it hung on him.
47:10
Speaker 8: It was the Patient Protection Care and Affordable Care Act, right?
47:15
Speaker 18: Yeah.
47:16
Speaker 19: What has happened to the cost of health insurance and
47:20
Speaker 19: health care since we got that?
47:22
Speaker 8: Oh, I don't think it's affordable anymore. It's funny. We
47:26
Speaker 8: actually have some folks like Tom Perriello who are out
47:29
Speaker 8: there running to fix a broken health care system. when
47:31
Speaker 8: it was his vote specifically that gave us Obamacare.
47:36
Speaker 15: Right.
47:37
Speaker 19: Now, let's see. We've got Obamacare. Cash for Conkers.
47:42
Speaker 8: Oh, that was a good one, too. That was where
47:44
Speaker 8: you could.
47:45
Speaker 19: Get $ 4, 000.
47:46
Speaker 8: For anything you could drag in.
47:48
Speaker 19: And what did that do to the cost of an
47:51
Speaker 19: entry-level vehicle for somebody?
47:53
Speaker 8: Oh, my gosh. It went crazy. I mean, first off,
47:57
Speaker 8: because you had so many fewer used cars out there, Yes.
48:02
Speaker 19: We had a federal government program to tremendously reduce the
48:07
Speaker 19: inventory and make it where a kid couldn't get a
48:10
Speaker 19: summer job and buy a vehicle anymore.
48:11
Speaker 14: Right.
48:12
Speaker 19: So there was that.
48:15
Speaker 8: Not a flaw, but a feature, by the way. Yes, yes,
48:18
Speaker 8: it was by design.
48:19
Speaker 19: We won't talk about $ 8 a gallon gasoline, which is
48:22
Speaker 19: what he said it needed to be. Let's move on
48:25
Speaker 19: to 2022 when Joe Biden was president. The inflation rate was,
48:30
Speaker 19: I think, 9.1% at the time of the midterm. Did
48:34
Speaker 19: you ever hear anybody mention affordability in the media at
48:38
Speaker 19: that time?
48:39
Speaker 8: No, they were really quiet about it. They were all
48:41
Speaker 8: about how Trump was a 36-time felon or whatever it
48:45
Speaker 8: was their narrative was. So, yeah.
48:49
Speaker 19: Now— Here's the thing. It looks like to me that
48:53
Speaker 19: the Democrat strategy for this midterm is lie, cheat, and
49:00
Speaker 19: say that Donald Trump in two years has not fixed
49:04
Speaker 19: what they tore up in 12.
49:07
Speaker 8: So vote for us so we can.
49:08
Speaker 19: More tear it up.
49:10
Speaker 8: Yeah, it seems like a pretty good boil down on it.
49:15
Speaker 19: You know, the thing about that is, Joe, is 2026
49:17
Speaker 19: isn't any different than any other midterm. in my lifetime then,
49:20
Speaker 19: because that's the same strategy pretty much always, isn't it?
49:25
Speaker 8: Yeah, but they're telling people about it now so that
49:27
Speaker 8: more people will give them money, because you've got to
49:30
Speaker 8: give money to Act Blue so they can launder it
49:32
Speaker 8: and give it to people. That's how George Soros works now.
49:37
Speaker 19: George Soros and apparently Neville Roy Singham.
49:40
Speaker 8: Oh, Singham's been doing this for a long time. Do
49:46
Speaker 8: you like the fact that the press calls him American
49:48
Speaker 8: billionaire entrepreneur?
49:53
Speaker 4: Oh, right, right.
49:54
Speaker 8: Okay, yeah.
49:55
Speaker 19: But Elon's not, so there you go.
50:00
Speaker 8: And I knew it was going to happen, so... I
50:03
Speaker 8: forget which candidate it is. He's out of Massachusetts, a
50:09
Speaker 8: Democrat in Massachusetts, which must tell you something because these
50:12
Speaker 8: Democrats in Massachusetts are out there running ads that make
50:17
Speaker 8: it seem like they're concerned with losing this election. But
50:21
Speaker 8: he's got that video of Elon Musk waving at the
50:25
Speaker 8: crowd where it looks like he's doing the Zig Heil salute.
50:31
Speaker 8: And it's over and over again through the ad. It's,
50:33
Speaker 8: you know, radical billionaire tech bros are, you know, going
50:36
Speaker 8: to sell your soul to rock and roll and that
50:39
Speaker 8: kind of rhetoric, which is just, you know, I mean,
50:42
Speaker 8: I think some of these candidates like, you know, Bob
50:45
Speaker 8: Dole are spinning in their grave saying, you know, Bob
50:47
Speaker 8: Dole would never run anything like that.
50:51
Speaker 19: So, hey, here's the thing. You crack me up with
50:55
Speaker 19: the Bob Dole third person reference. That was Bob Dole.
51:00
Speaker 8: And by the way, one of my favorite Norm MacDonald
51:03
Speaker 8: moments is when he and Bob Dole were doing Bob
51:06
Speaker 8: Dole on Saturday Night Live with each other. That was classic.
51:11
Speaker 19: So if you listen to Democrats, they'll tell you things.
51:15
Speaker 19: And their internal polls are.
51:17
Speaker 8: Not good for them right now.
51:19
Speaker 19: And you know how I know that?
51:22
Speaker 23: How?
51:22
Speaker 19: They're warning their constituents that Donald Trump will try.
51:26
Speaker 8: To steal the election. That's right.
51:28
Speaker 19: Which means... They are setting up their delegitimization process.
51:35
Speaker 8: When they lose. Right. They're laying out the precedent. It's
51:39
Speaker 8: like the mobster saying, hey, I saw a gang of
51:42
Speaker 8: kids down the street from my social club.
51:47
Speaker 19: They would not be doing that if they did not
51:49
Speaker 19: know that things did not look good.
51:52
Speaker 16: Yeah.
51:52
Speaker 8: Well, hopefully they do look good. We just got to
51:55
Speaker 8: get a turnout. This is the whole point of that
51:56
Speaker 8: column I wrote for the Daily Signal, Clark. is that
52:00
Speaker 8: these polls are vote suppression. That's all they're designed to
52:04
Speaker 8: do is to make conservatives stay home. Marquette University said
52:08
Speaker 8: when election turnouts are over 50%, it favors Republicans, and
52:13
Speaker 8: when it's under 50%, it favors Democrats. Simple as that.
52:17
Speaker 19: So one baseball guy to another, we can't just throw
52:21
Speaker 19: our jocks on the field.
52:23
Speaker 8: We've got to show up and play the game. Yep, absolutely.
52:25
Speaker 8: You have a great weekend, sir. Maybe I'll talk to
52:27
Speaker 8: you tomorrow. All right, then. All right. 434-882-4217. Time for
52:33
Speaker 8: us to fly this morning. And I appreciate everyone who
52:37
Speaker 8: joined in this morning and taking their turn with us.
52:42
Speaker 8: And thank you so much for being part of the
52:45
Speaker 8: program until Saturday morning or Monday. So long and thanks
52:48
Speaker 8: for all the fish.
52:51
Speaker 18: My name is Bobby.
52:52
Speaker 6: I'm a veteran and lost my leg to a roadside bomb.
52:55
Speaker 13: My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a
52:58
Speaker 13: weightlifting champion.
53:00
Speaker 15: I'm Sam.
53:01
Speaker 1: I'm a veteran.
53:02
Speaker 15: My victory was finding a career I can be proud
53:04
Speaker 15: of and supporting my family.
53:06
Speaker 24: America's veterans are on their most important tour, the tour
53:09
Speaker 24: of their lives.
53:10
Speaker 1: I'm a veteran. My victory was going from homeless to home.
53:14
Speaker 24: At DAV, we're on a mission to help veterans get
53:17
Speaker 24: the benefits they've earned.
53:19
Speaker 2: I'm a veteran, and my victory was finishing my education.
53:23
Speaker 24: DAV offers veterans of all generations a lifetime of support
53:27
Speaker 24: for victories great and small.
53:29
Speaker 18: My victory was proving that disability is not a limitation.
53:33
Speaker 15: My victory was getting my service dog a new best friend.
53:36
Speaker 24: We help more than a million veterans every year as
53:38
Speaker 24: they face and conquer their challenges.
53:41
Speaker 15: My victory is being able to be there for my family.
53:43
Speaker 24: When America's veterans win, we all win. Help us support
53:47
Speaker 24: more victories for veterans.
