"Let Slip the Dogs of War" (FTTxJT Tue 110326 hr3) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Joe works at a steel mill.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: He's damn near every day.
• 0:14
  Speaker 4: Leaves for work when the sun comes up. Drops a
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: kid to school and on the way.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Joe has everything he dreamed of. All the treasures that
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: he needs.
• 0:25
  Speaker 5: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:27
  Speaker 6: He only aims.
• 0:28
  Speaker 7: To please you.
• 0:30
  Speaker 8: Let me be your Joe.
• 0:32
  Speaker 9: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:34
  Speaker 9: this morning.
• 0:35
  Speaker 7: I want to be of use.
• 0:39
  Speaker 10: On the radio program, unabashed to call itself a radio
• 0:42
  Speaker 10: program because unlike apparently the cable news operations, there's no
• 0:46
  Speaker 10: fatigue amongst radio listeners. They're out there in droves. 97%
• 0:53
  Speaker 10: of people listen to the radio. So why would I
• 0:56
  Speaker 10: hide that we do a radio show that.
• 1:03
  Speaker 10: If we're out there and you're dragging us in through
• 1:06
  Speaker 10: your amplitude and frequency modulation translators, then it's all good
• 1:12
  Speaker 10: from where I stand. And what is our standpoint? So
• 1:14
  Speaker 10: I'm going to tell you a story that's borderline esoteric
• 1:18
  Speaker 10: to you, that you're going to sit there and say, well,
• 1:22
  Speaker 10: what does that mean? This is a template of what
• 1:28
  Speaker 10: we find to be irksome. Stories that we feel you
• 1:33
  Speaker 10: need to know. So the city of St. Petersburg, the
• 1:37
  Speaker 10: other one, the one in the United States, although if
• 1:43
  Speaker 10: it insists on having to do stuff like this, the
• 1:46
  Speaker 10: city of St. Petersburg, Florida, and the city of St. Petersburg, Russia,
• 1:50
  Speaker 10: are going to start to become more and more difficult
• 1:53
  Speaker 10: to discern. They've got a program to promote.
• 1:58
  Speaker 9: Food truck operation.
• 2:04
  Speaker 10: Now, it's refreshing because many cities are trying to find
• 2:07
  Speaker 10: ways to stop food trucks because they tax their restaurants
• 2:11
  Speaker 10: heavily and their food trucks are constantly at odds with
• 2:16
  Speaker 10: the brick and mortar restaurants who, you know, stomp into
• 2:20
  Speaker 10: the city council's chamber and say, well, you're charging me
• 2:23
  Speaker 10: all these taxes and these food trucks drive around or
• 2:25
  Speaker 10: whatever and steal my business. And instead of thinking, well,
• 2:30
  Speaker 10: maybe we shouldn't tax our businesses so much, they go
• 2:34
  Speaker 10: after the food trucks. Same thing happens to Airbnb and
• 2:36
  Speaker 10: the homestay industry and everything else.
• 2:39
  Speaker 9: But the city of St.
• 2:40
  Speaker 10: Petersburg has got an academy to quote and title here,
• 2:44
  Speaker 10: promote entrepreneurship and small business the right way. The city's way.
• 2:52
  Speaker 10: And this goes into the, are you really independent? You
• 2:58
  Speaker 10: have to get a permit from the city. A lot
• 3:01
  Speaker 10: of these food trucks got started because you didn't need
• 3:04
  Speaker 10: all the heavy permits and requirements that a city would
• 3:08
  Speaker 10: put on a brick-and-mortar restaurant. And again, brick-and-mortar restaurants stomp in,
• 3:13
  Speaker 10: I think appropriately, to the city council and say, so
• 3:16
  Speaker 10: you're listening to us down on 1610 BGS, and what
• 3:20
  Speaker 10: is it, 95.1? At least they're not trying to put
• 3:24
  Speaker 10: the food truck business out of business. They're doing it worse.
• 3:28
  Speaker 10: They're trying to make it government-controlled, government-subsidized.
• 3:33
  Speaker 9: Taken over.
• 3:34
  Speaker 10: Just one of those, if you want a mindset, the
• 3:37
  Speaker 10: stories that I find illuminative. But here are our first
• 3:42
  Speaker 10: things this morning. Supreme Court yesterday rejected an emergency request
• 3:46
  Speaker 10: from the administration to set aside thousands of California's mail-in
• 3:51
  Speaker 10: ballots while officials determined whether the voters are U.S. citizens
• 3:55
  Speaker 10: or not. justices declined to intervene in a case involving 20,000
• 4:00
  Speaker 10: registered voters that the Justice Department identified as potentially ineligible
• 4:06
  Speaker 10: because of questions about their citizenship status.
• 4:11
  Speaker 9: U.S.
• 4:11
  Speaker 10: Immigration and Customs Enforcement has announced additional arrests of foreign nationals,
• 4:16
  Speaker 10: by the way, illegally voting in American elections. One such
• 4:21
  Speaker 10: case is a 15 times between 2000 and 2024, despite
• 4:29
  Speaker 10: you and I being told that that never happens. Homeland
• 4:33
  Speaker 10: Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen says there are more than 300,000
• 4:37
  Speaker 10: non-citizens flagged on state voter rolls. That number is up
• 4:43
  Speaker 10: from 250,000. He didn't elaborate as to why the number increased.
• 4:48
  Speaker 10: Is it that they found more or not? But He
• 4:53
  Speaker 10: said the department is working with the Justice Department, checking
• 4:56
  Speaker 10: those names to make sure that those who have American
• 5:01
  Speaker 10: citizenship are actually voting. The United States has launched some
• 5:06
  Speaker 10: strikes against an island just off of the Strait of Hormuz,
• 5:11
  Speaker 10: part of Iran, and part of their military operations to
• 5:14
  Speaker 10: make sure that shipping through the Strait of Hormuz continues unfettered.
• 5:23
  Speaker 10: And Steve Witkoff has announced in a post on X
• 5:26
  Speaker 10: that the United States, presumably he and others, will be
• 5:30
  Speaker 10: meeting with emissaries from Ukraine and Russia next week to
• 5:35
  Speaker 10: discuss what happens next after the fighting ends in between
• 5:40
  Speaker 10: Russia and Ukraine. You may sit there and say, I
• 5:44
  Speaker 10: hadn't heard that the fighting was going to end, but
• 5:46
  Speaker 10: apparently they've decided that if we can talk about anything,
• 5:49
  Speaker 10: we're going to talk about what happens after the war ends,
• 5:53
  Speaker 10: and then maybe we'll actually get the war to end.
• 5:56
  Speaker 10: Witkoff said the negotiations will be the 10th and 11th
• 6:02
  Speaker 10: on security arrangements, de-escalation, humanitarian efforts, and steps to make
• 6:07
  Speaker 10: a lasting peace. And Fox News says it has hemorrhaged
• 6:12
  Speaker 10: 30% of its daily viewers, putting itself in ratings world
• 6:17
  Speaker 10: back down where CNN and MSNOW are. Lachlan Murdoch says
• 6:24
  Speaker 10: it's viewer fatigue. Dodging the question as to wasn't it
• 6:28
  Speaker 10: his programming that might have made them fatigued. Our friends
• 6:33
  Speaker 10: at the Trans-Siberian Orchestra want you to come see their
• 6:37

  Speaker 6: You were strolling along in goodwill. When just past that
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: mid-century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them, nestled
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes!
• 9:14
  Speaker 14: Yes!
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: favorite form of ear candy.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, my.
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 9:26
  Speaker 15: Shh.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Do you smell that?
• 9:29
  Speaker 16: Shh.
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is Goodwill.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: And with every item.
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: You buy, you fund local job training and more.
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: So go forth.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Bring home those donut earrings. And bring home so much
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: good to your community.
• 9:53
  Speaker 17: Goodwill.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: Bring good home.
• 9:56
  Speaker 15: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 10:02
  Speaker 15: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 10:07
  Speaker 15: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 10:11
  Speaker 15: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 10:14
  Speaker 15: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 10:20
  Speaker 15: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 10:23
  Speaker 15: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:26
  Speaker 15: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:31
  Speaker 15: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 10:35
  Speaker 15: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 10:40
  Speaker 18: Eat better.
• 10:41

  Speaker 9: I'm a veteran, and I lost both legs in Vietnam.

• 10:57
  Speaker 19: I'm Julius.

• 11:47
  Speaker 21: No word in the English language is less convincing.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Then probably.
• 11:51
  Speaker 18: Are you sure we should get matching tattoos on our
• 11:54
  Speaker 18: first date?
• 11:55
  Speaker 22: Sure.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: We'll probably stay together.
• 11:57
  Speaker 17: Probably?
• 11:58
  Speaker 21: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
• 12:02
  Speaker 9: I can probably swim.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, don't tell me what to do.
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: Cannonball!
• 12:11
  Speaker 12: Cramp!
• 12:11
  Speaker 14: I have a cramp.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: I can probably hit the green from here.
• 12:18
  Speaker 17: Probably.
• 12:22
  Speaker 22: Can I get a mulligan?
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: Ready to go?
• 12:26
  Speaker 13: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 12:28
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.
• 12:31
  Speaker 19: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 12:34
  Speaker 21: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 12:38
  Speaker 21: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 12:41
  Speaker 21: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message
• 12:44
  Speaker 21: brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council.
• 12:46
  Speaker 18: You know the legal drinking age is 21. You may
• 12:49
  Speaker 18: also know this law protects teens. Find out more at DontServeTeens.gov.

  Speaker 18: the Federal Trade Commission.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:21
  Speaker 23: But I'm afraid of the Russians. I can't sleep at night.
• 13:29
  Speaker 23: So afraid of the Russians. Afraid we've got to fight.
• 13:35
  Speaker 9: This text message comes in to 434-882-4217 on the subject of.
• 13:45
  Speaker 10: Whether or not we should be intervening to get peace,
• 13:49
  Speaker 10: we brought up the fact that apparently there's some discussion
• 13:52
  Speaker 10: of what's going to go on after. I don't remember
• 13:56
  Speaker 10: there being discussions on the Marshall Plan before we got
• 14:00
  Speaker 10: the Germans out of Paris, but I'm not saying you
• 14:04
  Speaker 10: don't have a plan, but this news story, forgive me
• 14:10
  Speaker 10: if I'm not enthusiastic a little bit about the idea
• 14:12
  Speaker 10: that there might be an end.
• 14:14
  Speaker 14: To this.
• 14:16
  Speaker 10: Remember the two-week-long invasion? Russia was going to invade Ukraine,
• 14:20
  Speaker 10: and within two weeks, the boys would be home. And
• 14:25
  Speaker 10: five years later, here we are, because apparently Ukrainians don't
• 14:30
  Speaker 10: want the Russians in their country, despite what Russia keeps
• 14:33
  Speaker 10: saying about them. So where do you stand? What do
• 14:37
  Speaker 10: you do? And this is what Mike writes in. Joe,
• 14:40
  Speaker 10: I try to get a feel for which side of
• 14:43
  Speaker 10: this story You are on. Everyone I know has got
• 14:50
  Speaker 10: a Ukrainian flag or sticker or sweatshirt or headband. I
• 14:56
  Speaker 10: even believe that there might be Ukrainian flag condoms available
• 15:00
  Speaker 10: at the CVS down the street from me. Yet I
• 15:04
  Speaker 10: can't help but think that this is the New World
• 15:07
  Speaker 10: Order's new darling and that we shouldn't be jumping in
• 15:11
  Speaker 10: bed with them. Weren't there a whole bunch of bio
• 15:14
  Speaker 10: labs like the one in Wuhan in Ukraine too? Isn't
• 15:19
  Speaker 10: this the government Barack Obama and Joe Biden wanted? So
• 15:22
  Speaker 10: why are there all these red flags instead of the
• 15:25
  Speaker 10: blue and yellow ones? Well, I'm glad you asked. I
• 15:34
  Speaker 10: have said from the onset of this, from the moment
• 15:38
  Speaker 10: they gathered along the border and somebody said, hey, is
• 15:41
  Speaker 10: Joe Biden going to say anything about this?
• 15:43
  Speaker 9: And of course, couldn't get him.
• 15:46
  Speaker 10: Hey, we would have taken Jill Biden saying something. I
• 15:50
  Speaker 10: think at this point, we would have taken Hunter Biden
• 15:52
  Speaker 10: saying anything about it as they amassed troops on the border.
• 15:58
  Speaker 10: And I have likened Vladimir Putin's excuse for invading Ukraine
• 16:08
  Speaker 10: to what sounds like a ridiculous scenario unless you spend
• 16:13
  Speaker 10: any time in Southern California and you've driven past the
• 16:16
  Speaker 10: protest marchers waving Mexican flags saying, this is our country.
• 16:21
  Speaker 9: Not yours. Hashtag marginalized community, question mark.
• 16:30
  Speaker 10: So if you drive through Southern California and you see
• 16:33
  Speaker 10: all the protesters with their Mexican flags saying, this is
• 16:36
  Speaker 10: our country, not yours, The premise that Vladimir Putin used
• 16:40
  Speaker 10: for invading Ukraine was, well, there's a lot of ethnic
• 16:44
  Speaker 10: Russians living there and they're not being listened to by
• 16:47
  Speaker 10: the government. Couldn't Claudia Scheinbaum make the same case in Mexico? Now,
• 16:53
  Speaker 10: I know Mexico's army is supposedly nowhere close to what
• 16:58
  Speaker 10: Russia's is. Of course, Ukraine didn't necessarily have one. They
• 17:02
  Speaker 10: just had a bunch of farmers who had guns.
• 17:05
  Speaker 9: And they fought back.
• 17:06
  Speaker 10: Now, I know Ukraine had an army, but I'm just
• 17:09
  Speaker 10: saying that if you looked at them on paper, they
• 17:12
  Speaker 10: were not a match for the Russian army. Of course,
• 17:15
  Speaker 10: neither were the Americans when we were trying to get
• 17:18
  Speaker 10: the British out of our country either.
• 17:21
  Speaker 9: Just saying, don't get mad, get even. Don't get mad, call.
• 17:28
  Speaker 10: Argue the point, say, well, it's Russia needs and Russia...
• 17:32
  Speaker 10: And we made Russia the bad guy because we needed
• 17:35
  Speaker 10: the bad guy. And yes, there are a million places
• 17:38
  Speaker 10: where we've gone left when we should have gone right
• 17:42
  Speaker 10: since the wall fell, since the Soviet Union collapsed. And yes,
• 17:50
  Speaker 10: at the collapse of the Soviet Union, we told Ukraine
• 17:54
  Speaker 10: we would defend them against the Russian bear if they
• 17:58
  Speaker 10: gave us the nuclear missiles. All these things are true.
• 18:07
  Speaker 10: So again, your question is, which side are you on?
• 18:11
  Speaker 10: I'm on the side of the farmer who's got a
• 18:13
  Speaker 10: rifle in his hand trying to fend off a Russian
• 18:17
  Speaker 10: soldier or 12 from getting onto his farm. Mostly because
• 18:25
  Speaker 10: I feel embarrassed that it seems like these Ukrainian civilians
• 18:30
  Speaker 10: get the Second Amendment more than we do. And I
• 18:33
  Speaker 10: said that at the onset of this. I said, my gosh,
• 18:36
  Speaker 10: these folks are holding a master's class in what the
• 18:39
  Speaker 10: Second Amendment means and why we have it. Thank goodness
• 18:45
  Speaker 10: Claudia Scheinbaum hasn't, you know, deputized a bunch of Mexican
• 18:49
  Speaker 10: drug cartel leadership and sent them marching across the southern U.S.
• 18:54
  Speaker 10: border to take back Southern California and Nevada and Arizona
• 18:59
  Speaker 10: and New Mexico and Texas.
• 19:02
  Speaker 9: Oh, they'd love Texas, wouldn't they?
• 19:06
  Speaker 10: Texas would be the capital city of Mexico, would move
• 19:09
  Speaker 10: from Mexico City to Austin like that. Seaport like Houston.
• 19:16
  Speaker 10: Mexico would become a world power. Mexico would become bigger
• 19:19
  Speaker 10: than Canada, despite what Canada would say. Canada would hold
• 19:25
  Speaker 10: a protest march and say, but we're Canada. We're in
• 19:28
  Speaker 10: the European Union now. You don't get to invade another country.
• 19:36
  Speaker 10: You signed a document saying you agreed that Ukraine was
• 19:39
  Speaker 10: their own country. Now, what has gone on there since
• 19:45
  Speaker 10: then has been a master's class in American politics.
• 19:51
  Speaker 9: Statecraft.
• 19:52
  Speaker 10: Barack Obama and Joe Biden glowingly, braggadocioly talking about how
• 19:58
  Speaker 10: much they work to keep an entire region of Ukraine
• 20:03
  Speaker 10: out of a national election. Can you imagine Can you
• 20:06
  Speaker 10: imagine Vladimir Putin or Emmanuel Macron or whoever the prime
• 20:13
  Speaker 10: minister of England is these days standing up, or never
• 20:20
  Speaker 10: mind Chairman Xi? Let's take Chairman Xi for a moment.
• 20:25
  Speaker 10: Let's take Chairman Xi at the United Nations, insisting, that
• 20:32
  Speaker 10: Texas not be allowed to vote in the presidential election
• 20:36
  Speaker 10: because there are so many ethnic Mexicans there. And that's
• 20:44
  Speaker 10: ostensibly what Barack Obama and the Joe Biden administration did
• 20:48
  Speaker 10: while Hunter was out there serving on the board of Burisma,
• 20:52
  Speaker 10: which is, I've come to find out, the Ukrainian word
• 20:55
  Speaker 10: for make the Biden family a lot of money.
• 21:03
  Speaker 19: And we did that.
• 21:06
  Speaker 10: We did the things that the Steele dossier was saying
• 21:09
  Speaker 10: Russia was doing to the Trump administration. Oh, he's manipulating
• 21:13
  Speaker 10: this and fake news. And now all those things that
• 21:19
  Speaker 10: the Biden White House put into the Steele dossier, and yes,
• 21:22
  Speaker 10: they put it into the Steele dossier, were the things,
• 21:26
  Speaker 10: you know, they did. Excuse me, Jim, get Comey back
• 21:32
  Speaker 10: in here. All right, so what I want in this dossier,
• 21:35
  Speaker 10: here's a document. This is what we did in Ukraine.
• 21:39
  Speaker 10: Just change the names, change the names, Jim, and make
• 21:44
  Speaker 10: it Russia instead of the U.S. and make it Donald
• 21:48
  Speaker 10: Trump instead of Ukraine. And we fell for it. So
• 21:56
  Speaker 10: I'm not saying Ukraine is the hero. They just didn't
• 21:59
  Speaker 10: deserve to.
• 22:00
  Speaker 19: Hey, I'm Brant, and her name is Sherry.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Hello.
• 22:03
  Speaker 24: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
• 22:05
  Speaker 24: for because of a surgery she just went through.
• 22:08
  Speaker 25: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
• 22:11
  Speaker 25: talk about all the time, which is?
• 22:12
  Speaker 9: MediShare.
• 22:13
  Speaker 25: That is right.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:14
  Speaker 24: So what was your experience like with MediShare and the
• 22:17
  Speaker 24: health care bills?
• 22:17
  Speaker 25: Honestly, Brant, seamless. And what a blessing that is when
• 22:20
  Speaker 25: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was.
• 22:23
  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 22:23
  Speaker 25: Members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
• 22:26
  Speaker 25: me tell you, having people pray with you when you
• 22:29
  Speaker 25: call in with your need, that is just.
• 22:32
  Speaker 17: It is refreshing.
• 22:33
  Speaker 25: Yes, that's what it is.
• 22:34
  Speaker 24: But I keep telling people, people love... MediShare, and they
• 22:37
  Speaker 24: love saving money. A typical family can save $ 500 a month.
• 22:41
  Speaker 25: I am very thankful for MediShare. It is so different,
• 22:45
  Speaker 25: and I mean different in a very, very good way.
• 22:47
  Speaker 9: It is good different. Call now.

• 23:15
  Speaker 26: diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports veterinary
• 23:20
  Speaker 26: teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop personalized

• 23:30
  Speaker 26: even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more on patients.
• 23:35
  Speaker 26: But As with any new technology, always keep a human
• 23:39
  Speaker 26: in the loop to maintain the.
• 23:41
  Speaker 24: Best pet health care.
• 23:43

  Speaker 27: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 24:08
  Speaker 27: actually three known gases.
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: Hi, I'm Dr.
• 24:11
  Speaker 27: Mitch, and nitric oxide is a gas that's readily made
• 24:16
  Speaker 27: all day long to keep our arteries open by relaxing

  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:17
  Speaker 10: It is time for our sports director, Mac McDonald, back
• 28:20
  Speaker 10: from class. You know, there was an old Bill Cosby
• 28:23
  Speaker 10: and the Cosby kids line.
• 28:25
  Speaker 9: He's like the NCAA. No class at all was one
• 28:30
  Speaker 9: of those lines.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: I remember that.
• 28:33
  Speaker 10: Kind of ironic thinking about how Bill's life went after that.
• 28:37
  Speaker 10: But in any event, do you smell chloroform? Anyway, he
• 28:43
  Speaker 10: is our great Mac McDonald. He is brought to you
• 28:48
  Speaker 10: by Lunch Pail Foundation, helping kids get scholarships and help
• 28:53
  Speaker 10: them get that career and life changing job. opportunity to
• 29:00
  Speaker 10: learn and grow on lunchpaledefense.org.
• 29:05
  Speaker 9: Sorry we missed you yesterday, Mac.
• 29:07
  Speaker 19: Well, I had to go to school early.
• 29:10
  Speaker 30: It happens once a semester, and so I had to
• 29:12
  Speaker 30: get early, so I had to leave early. But anyway,
• 29:14
  Speaker 30: it's no big deal, and happy Tuesday. It's funny that today,
• 29:18
  Speaker 30: and I did it by total accident, that this is
• 29:20
  Speaker 30: kind of an underachieving Tuesday. In other words, all I've
• 29:23
  Speaker 30: done is follow press conferences because last week, I mean,
• 29:27
  Speaker 30: top 25s, teams that are supposed to be in a
• 29:30
  Speaker 30: playoff just falling.
• 29:31
  Speaker 17: Like, you know, rain.
• 29:33
  Speaker 19: And it's just, it's really good. I'm going to start
• 29:35
  Speaker 19: with Oklahoma.
• 29:36
  Speaker 10: I mean, the pollsters couldn't react. fast enough to drop
• 29:41
  Speaker 10: Ohio State to, like, 10th. And USC, it's like all
• 29:46
  Speaker 10: of a sudden, USC is 15th and Ohio State is 10th?
• 29:49
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 29:49
  Speaker 9: We'll jump off that bandwagon.
• 29:52
  Speaker 30: Yeah, the Norvell firing and all the things that happened
• 29:56
  Speaker 30: at Florida State, and he's going to get like a
• 29:59
  Speaker 30: $ 49 million buyout.
• 30:01
  Speaker 19: So, you know, it's like... ride off into the sunset
• 30:03
  Speaker 19: and enjoy. Okay. What do you got after taxes? 24, 25.
• 30:07
  Speaker 30: So anyway, Oklahoma, you know, which of course jumped into
• 30:12
  Speaker 30: the sec a couple of years ago, they have been called,
• 30:15
  Speaker 30: they have been tabbed the biggest flop in college football.
• 30:19
  Speaker 30: And pretty happy though, for Shane Beamer, because Shane, of course,
• 30:23
  Speaker 30: the son of Frank, South Carolina hot seat and South
• 30:27
  Speaker 30: Carolina ripped them in Norman 42-25.
• 30:29
  Speaker 19: So USA Today said the Sooners are the biggest flaw.
• 30:33
  Speaker 30: Now, Brent Venables is a no-nonsense guy. His team is 4-4,
• 30:37
  Speaker 30: 2-3 in the SEC. Last year, they went 6-2. They
• 30:39
  Speaker 30: got Florida this week. Not that that makes any difference.
• 30:42
  Speaker 30: But again, I look for treasured bites from college coaches.
• 30:49
  Speaker 19: This is treasured, number one, from Brent Venables.
• 30:52
  Speaker 22: And sit here and act like, oh, yeah, they'll be fine.
• 30:55
  Speaker 19: What's fine?
• 30:56
  Speaker 22: There ain't nothing fine. There ain't nothing fine. And my
• 31:00
  Speaker 22: challenge to them, a player, nobody's required to be here
• 31:04
  Speaker 22: on Monday. Nobody's required to be here on Monday. But
• 31:09
  Speaker 22: if you're going to be here on Monday, then you
• 31:11
  Speaker 22: better square your jaw up and tighten your screws.
• 31:14
  Speaker 16: Wow.
• 31:16
  Speaker 19: You know, just a little bit of a message.
• 31:18
  Speaker 30: His quote, we're not built to overcome some of the
• 31:21
  Speaker 30: ineptness as a football team that we displayed. Let them
• 31:24
  Speaker 30: throw the ball over our head. We didn't tackle great.
• 31:28
  Speaker 30: We're in position several times and we played on our heels.
• 31:31
  Speaker 30: So there you go. Have a good time in Norman
• 31:33
  Speaker 30: this week at practice. All right, Kirby Smart, who I like.
• 31:38
  Speaker 30: I like Kirby Smart, of course. He was a Saban disciple,
• 31:41
  Speaker 30: done great at Georgia, has a national title, so on
• 31:44
  Speaker 30: and so forth. But he came up with a comment,
• 31:46
  Speaker 30: and then he had to backtrack just a little bit
• 31:48
  Speaker 30: to explain. He had a comment, even after Georgia wins,
• 31:52
  Speaker 30: about today's players and about what's happening with the roster
• 31:57
  Speaker 30: and the settlement and how much money the kids are making.
• 31:59
  Speaker 31: Is it a different culture that guys don't want to
• 32:02
  Speaker 31: as much? I don't know, because they were definitely hungrier
• 32:06
  Speaker 31: because there was a motivation to make it. And a
• 32:08
  Speaker 31: lot of these guys, honestly, they made more than I
• 32:11
  Speaker 31: made until I was 40. So it's just a different
• 32:15
  Speaker 31: day and age.
• 32:15
  Speaker 19: Okay, so then, of course, after Georgia wins and the.
• 32:20
  Speaker 30: Dust settles and now you've got a Monday press conference
• 32:24
  Speaker 30: or whatever, naturally the writers are looking for another you know, column.
• 32:28
  Speaker 30: They're looking for another something or another. So they wanted
• 32:32
  Speaker 30: Kirby to address what he said, why he said it.
• 32:36
  Speaker 30: And Kirby backtracked just a little bit, but he wanted.
• 32:38
  Speaker 19: To explain what's going on.
• 32:40
  Speaker 31: We have less people than we've ever had. So we
• 32:43
  Speaker 31: have less people to practice with. And that was a
• 32:45
  Speaker 31: major concern of the coaches from the get-go. The settlement decided,
• 32:50
  Speaker 31: or the people who were involved in the settlement decided
• 32:54
  Speaker 31: the number was 105. And we're not at 105 right now,
• 32:57
  Speaker 31: so I don't want to be complaining. We have more
• 33:00
  Speaker 31: than that because we have these designated student-athletes. But we
• 33:02
  Speaker 31: will eventually all have 105.
• 33:04
  Speaker 30: Yeah, so back in the day, let's backtrack just a
• 33:07
  Speaker 30: little history. It was back in the days when Bear
• 33:09
  Speaker 30: Bryant would recruit everyone. And Alabama's roster size, that's when
• 33:14
  Speaker 30: roster sizes were just unlimited.
• 33:16
  Speaker 19: And you could give unlimited... I.
• 33:19
  Speaker 30: Mean, you know, Bama back then, 130, 135, 140 guys
• 33:24
  Speaker 30: on the roster, you know, and so they could practice
• 33:27
  Speaker 30: to their, you know, practice and then practice some more
• 33:29
  Speaker 30: and then your practice squad was too deep everywhere. And
• 33:32
  Speaker 30: so now that's changed. And of course, with that change
• 33:36
  Speaker 30: comes the whole D1 thing on walk-ons because it's of
• 33:40
  Speaker 30: a hard roster cap. So instead of the previous rules
• 33:44
  Speaker 30: that allowed 85 scholarship players plus an unlimited number of walk-ons,
• 33:49
  Speaker 30: D1 football teams are now hard capped at a maximum
• 33:52
  Speaker 30: of 105. And also, you know, for basketball, 15 for basketball,
• 33:57
  Speaker 30: 34 for baseball.
• 33:59
  Speaker 19: All right.
• 33:59
  Speaker 30: And so now the removal of the scholarship limits, so
• 34:03
  Speaker 30: the old caps on the number of scholarships could offer,
• 34:07
  Speaker 30: it's removed. So your walk-on program... is almost non-existent. And
• 34:12
  Speaker 30: that's what Kirby really liked because he wanted, this is
• 34:16
  Speaker 30: really a neat comment, Kirby wanted guys who wanted to
• 34:19
  Speaker 30: help the team, even high school phenoms.
• 34:23
  Speaker 19: To walk on. He loved it.
• 34:24
  Speaker 31: I think the amount of volume of work you do
• 34:27
  Speaker 31: gets poured on less people and it can cause injuries
• 34:31
  Speaker 31: to go up. And my wish would be if a
• 34:33
  Speaker 31: kid's it's your school and he's going to your school
• 34:35
  Speaker 31: and he wants to play football, why should he not
• 34:37
  Speaker 31: be able to? Why should he not be afforded that opportunity?
• 34:40
  Speaker 31: Hence the word, you.
• 34:41
  Speaker 17: Know, walk-on.
• 34:42
  Speaker 31: Because everybody's talked about 105 scholarship players is plenty. That's great,
• 34:46
  Speaker 31: but it's not what we're used to having. And we're
• 34:48
  Speaker 31: playing more games, longer season. You know, I think that
• 34:52
  Speaker 31: you should have the opportunity to have kids that are
• 34:54
  Speaker 31: there in your, at your university to help you.
• 34:57
  Speaker 19: Okay.
• 34:58
  Speaker 10: Well, isn't that what they said this was about, was
• 35:01
  Speaker 10: to create more opportunities for kids?
• 35:03
  Speaker 19: And now, It seems like it's maybe done the opposite.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 35:07
  Speaker 30: Cause the football coaches, all right, we got, we can
• 35:10
  Speaker 30: go 105 with the new settlement and that's fine, but
• 35:12
  Speaker 30: that just, that's where high school kids can get cut.
• 35:15
  Speaker 30: I mean, you know, as far as, you know, opportunities
• 35:18
  Speaker 30: because you're just digging into the portal now to try to,
• 35:20
  Speaker 30: you know, bolster your.
• 35:21
  Speaker 19: Roster and your team.
• 35:22
  Speaker 30: And so there's gotta be this whole settlement thing with the,
• 35:25
  Speaker 30: you know, in the house and we'll see what happens
• 35:27
  Speaker 30: after the elections today.
• 35:28
  Speaker 19: But if the house gets involved, it's, you know, what's
• 35:30
  Speaker 19: really going to happen.
• 35:31
  Speaker 30: And I think we're a long way from getting that
• 35:33
  Speaker 30: thing taken care of because I think there's going to
• 35:35
  Speaker 30: be so much debate, you know, from schools or whatever.
• 35:40
  Speaker 30: They're trying to make everything copacetic across the board.
• 35:44
  Speaker 19: But when you go back, I mean, back in.
• 35:46
  Speaker 30: Back in my day, back whatever, coaches always used to say,
• 35:50
  Speaker 30: I need 125, I need.
• 35:52
  Speaker 19: 130, and they were always talking about fundraising.
• 35:54
  Speaker 30: I remember Dick Bestwick trying to compare his– back in
• 35:57
  Speaker 30: the early 80s, UVA was so bad, opening game, they
• 36:01
  Speaker 30: had a kickoff blocked.
• 36:02
  Speaker 19: I mean, they were.
• 36:03
  Speaker 10: Just not a good– they were not a good football team. Yeah,
• 36:05
  Speaker 10: but also you talk about fundraising. It's like, hey, this
• 36:09
  Speaker 10: millionaire computer chip manufacturer wants to get his son.
• 36:15
  Speaker 9: On the football program.
• 36:17
  Speaker 10: OK, I'm not going to give him a scholarship because
• 36:19
  Speaker 10: you obviously have more money than the state. But but
• 36:22
  Speaker 10: I will give him a walk on position. He can
• 36:24
  Speaker 10: cover kickoffs on our practice squad. And the kid gets to,
• 36:28
  Speaker 10: you know, have a jersey and a helmet and run
• 36:31
  Speaker 10: out on the field once in a while and.
• 36:33
  Speaker 30: Rudy, Rudy is a long lost movie. And if you
• 36:38
  Speaker 30: watched it like a month ago, so whatever. So because
• 36:41
  Speaker 30: coaches always believed they needed more, more players, more players,
• 36:46
  Speaker 30: more players.
• 36:47
  Speaker 19: I heard, I've heard it for 30, you know, 30 years.
• 36:51
  Speaker 30: Anytime I talked to a football, you know, more player,
• 36:53
  Speaker 30: you know, basketball coaches were definitely strapped. The men's teams
• 36:57
  Speaker 30: lost because they wanted more players on the women's side.
• 37:00
  Speaker 30: By the way, basketball did open last night, which is,
• 37:02
  Speaker 30: Hard to believe.
• 37:03
  Speaker 19: It's a long way to march.
• 37:06
  Speaker 30: Just the way it's going is until the settlement, football
• 37:09
  Speaker 30: coaches are just not going to be happy with.
• 37:13
  Speaker 19: What's going on. There aren't enough kickers. You don't have
• 37:15
  Speaker 19: enough linemen. You don't have enough, you know, just the
• 37:18
  Speaker 19: little things.
• 37:18
  Speaker 30: The quarterbacks are turning out some of them to be
• 37:20
  Speaker 30: just average, and then they get hurt.
• 37:22
  Speaker 19: But anyway.
• 37:23
  Speaker 10: Well, I heard a line, you know, in our local
• 37:25
  Speaker 10: high school game. My color commentator, Leland, actually made a point.
• 37:30
  Speaker 10: Somebody was trying to arm tackle a kid. And he's like,
• 37:33
  Speaker 10: in high school, there is no one who's strong enough
• 37:35
  Speaker 10: to arm tackle. And I think about injuries. You know,
• 37:39
  Speaker 10: you had some freshman kicker who's, you know, a buck,
• 37:42
  Speaker 10: you know, 55. And, you know, he's some senior defensive
• 37:47
  Speaker 10: lineman who's about to go play on Sunday. Pancakes him.
• 37:51
  Speaker 10: It's an injury looking to.
• 37:53
  Speaker 19: We're in a different world. It's just a different world. So, anyway,
• 37:56
  Speaker 19: I'll see you tomorrow.
• 37:57
  Speaker 9: Have a good Tuesday.

  Speaker 14: Hi, it's Mark Falter, host of the Financial Fitness Show.
• 38:04
  Speaker 14: I strongly believe that no one should ever pay one
• 38:07
  Speaker 14: penny more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately,
• 38:12
  Speaker 14: for most hardworking Americans, this just isn't the case.
• 38:15
  Speaker 29: Why?
• 38:16
  Speaker 14: Because most people spend more time planning next weekend's getaway
• 38:20
  Speaker 14: than trying to ensure they're going to pay less in taxes.
• 38:23
  Speaker 14: My financial fitness team has put together some materials that
• 38:26
  Speaker 14: I know are going to help you. It's the tax
• 38:28
  Speaker 14: savings kit. Tax savings kit includes three things, free tax analysis,
• 38:34
  Speaker 14: top 10 ways to pay less in taxes, and an
• 38:37
  Speaker 14: investor's guide to taxes. Now, how do you get it?

  Speaker 27: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes, actually,
• 39:09
  Speaker 27: three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr.
• 39:11
  Speaker 23: Mitch.
• 39:12
  Speaker 27: And nitric oxide is a gas that's readily made all
• 39:16
  Speaker 27: day long to keep our arteries open by relaxing the
• 39:20
  Speaker 27: blood vessel walls. By doing this, our circulation is increased,
• 39:25
  Speaker 27: bringing blood, oxygen, and nutrients to every part of our body.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Your body.
• 39:31
  Speaker 27: Both age and poor diet can lead to a loss
• 39:34
  Speaker 27: of this precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can
• 39:38
  Speaker 27: go up, energy can go down, and you can get
• 39:41
  Speaker 27: tingling in your hands and feet. Well, our products Ultimate
• 39:45

  Speaker 32: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 40:37
  Speaker 32: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 40:41
  Speaker 32: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 40:44
  Speaker 32: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 40:48
  Speaker 32: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 40:52
  Speaker 32: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 40:56
  Speaker 32: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
• 40:59
  Speaker 32: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.

  Speaker 32: with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.

  Speaker 18: Got his first job, not for extra spending money, but
• 42:16
  Speaker 18: to help feed his little sisters?
• 42:18
  Speaker 29: Or a mother who's in between jobs and sometimes goes
• 42:21
  Speaker 29: to bed hungry so her kids can have dinner?
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: Or a 14-year-old girl who signs up to every after-school
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: activity not to make friends but just to get something
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: to eat. Or a retiree who fell ill and had to.

• 44:12
  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, $ 1, 000, 000. The question is, let.
• 44:20
  Speaker 8: The dogs out.
• 44:22
  Speaker 23: Let the dogs out.
• 44:29
  Speaker 7: Who let the dog down? Who let the dog down?
• 44:33
  Speaker 7: Who let the dog down?
• 44:37
  Speaker 10: Oh, it is our friend Tom Drops Bombs, where you
• 44:41
  Speaker 10: find him on YouTube at the Tom Drops Bombs channel there.
• 44:46
  Speaker 10: And the latest bombing run was over voter registration. And
• 44:54
  Speaker 10: no bigger.
• 44:54
  Speaker 9: A story here.
• 44:55
  Speaker 16: Joel....
• 44:58
  Speaker 10: I think it was Joel, maybe it was Kareem. Somebody
• 45:00
  Speaker 10: texted in Harmeet Dhillon's statements on voting. Oh, it's Kareem
• 45:11
  Speaker 10: sent in Harmeet Dhillon's statement. And it's the one that says,
• 45:14
  Speaker 10: you know, we will prosecute you if you knowingly allow
• 45:21
  Speaker 10: non-citizens to vote.
• 45:23
  Speaker 19: And, oh, that's threatening.
• 45:25
  Speaker 10: And there's a subtext to what is a threat. and
• 45:28
  Speaker 10: versus what is educating you on what the law is.
• 45:32
  Speaker 10: If it is, and Tom, hang on a second, because
• 45:35
  Speaker 10: this is an important, I think, nuanced point, is if
• 45:38
  Speaker 10: something is against law and I don't tell you that
• 45:42
  Speaker 10: it's against the law, you might be able to go
• 45:46
  Speaker 10: into court and say, I didn't know that was against
• 45:48
  Speaker 10: the law, Your Honor. I think it's a spurious argument,
• 45:52
  Speaker 10: but especially if you're an election official, I think you're stupid.
• 45:58
  Speaker 10: whether it's your secretary of state or your attorney general,
• 46:00
  Speaker 10: somebody is going to have to tell you what the
• 46:03
  Speaker 10: applicable laws of your job are, unless this is what
• 46:06
  Speaker 10: progressivism looks like, which is your laws or whatever you
• 46:11
  Speaker 10: want them to be. But Tom, one of the things
• 46:14
  Speaker 10: you were talking about is colleges and how colleges, never
• 46:18
  Speaker 10: mind the dead voters and I see dead voters and
• 46:21
  Speaker 10: all that stuff. Your point about college campuses being rife
• 46:25
  Speaker 10: with this Besides the illegals, these are legal citizens who
• 46:31
  Speaker 10: are just the kids of the kids and they're going
• 46:35
  Speaker 10: to sign them up to vote, rock the vote and
• 46:37
  Speaker 10: all that stuff. Motor voter, everyone's automatically registered to vote.
• 46:41
  Speaker 10: What are you seeing, Tom?
• 46:43
  Speaker 17: And what's going to happen next is essentially they're tacitly
• 46:47
  Speaker 17: encouraging these kids to vote. In the 5th District of
• 46:50
  Speaker 17: Virginia where they attend school, and, you know, we're not
• 46:53
  Speaker 17: going to tell you not to vote at your home
• 46:55
  Speaker 17: of record via mail, right? So, I mean, I think
• 46:59
  Speaker 17: if anything, college votes should count half, not twice, but
• 47:02
  Speaker 17: that's the thing here. So let's walk this dog down
• 47:06
  Speaker 17: the road. There I go again with the puns. Let's
• 47:09
  Speaker 17: walk down the road a little bit farther. I'm able
• 47:11
  Speaker 17: to be as outspoken, and it probably wouldn't matter what
• 47:14
  Speaker 17: my district was, as I am because I'm in a
• 47:16
  Speaker 17: pretty safe Republican district, which happens to have four state prisons, four,
• 47:24
  Speaker 17: and I could name them, but I won't. And so
• 47:27
  Speaker 17: if you start registering people to vote while they're in prison,
• 47:30
  Speaker 17: and I guarantee you they all show up to the polls,
• 47:33
  Speaker 17: my district goes from safely Republican to swing district. And
• 47:38
  Speaker 17: that's next, right, on your newsmakers' hotlines. They're going to say,
• 47:42
  Speaker 17: just because you've committed a crime doesn't mean you should
• 47:44
  Speaker 17: be deprived of your right to vote. It's racist if
• 47:46
  Speaker 17: you do it or whatever. You can predict the arguments.
• 47:49
  Speaker 17: And all of a sudden, you'll have people who are
• 47:51
  Speaker 17: from very safely Democrat areas, which seem to be high crime,
• 47:55
  Speaker 17: but I don't know why, who are voting in what
• 47:58
  Speaker 17: are currently very safely Republican areas. And, you know, I mean,
• 48:01
  Speaker 17: this is not what however bad you think they are,
• 48:04
  Speaker 17: they're worse.
• 48:05
  Speaker 10: This is the thing that puzzles me about this, because
• 48:09
  Speaker 10: you're talking about a group that needs and a party
• 48:13
  Speaker 10: that claims they're going to fulfill the needs, but they don't.
• 48:19
  Speaker 10: And so this idea of your felon voter restoration, felon voting,
• 48:24
  Speaker 10: all of these things that they call reparative are bovine
• 48:29
  Speaker 10: excrement because most of these people are in the position
• 48:32
  Speaker 10: they are because of Democrat policies that have left them
• 48:35
  Speaker 10: little if any other choice than to violate someone's rights
• 48:40
  Speaker 10: by stealing from them or assaulting them. And then you
• 48:44
  Speaker 10: couple that with the Soros prosecutors. And I know you
• 48:47
  Speaker 10: were a prosecutor at one point in your life where
• 48:50
  Speaker 10: they're starting to use their prosecutorial.
• 48:54
  Speaker 9: What do they call it? Prosecutorial judgment to discretion. Thank you.
• 49:01
  Speaker 10: To determine, oh, I'm just not going to. I'm just
• 49:04
  Speaker 10: not going to prosecute this person for theft because he's
• 49:09
  Speaker 10: poor and he was just trying to get by. He
• 49:11
  Speaker 10: stole the car because he.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: Needed a ride.
• 49:14
  Speaker 9: He robbed the store because it's a big corporation. They
• 49:17
  Speaker 9: have insurance.
• 49:18
  Speaker 10: And at some point, we have just become a lawless anarchy. Tom,
• 49:23
  Speaker 10: am I over extrapolating or finding too many connections where
• 49:27
  Speaker 10: none exist?
• 49:29
  Speaker 17: No, you're not at all. And so a lot of
• 49:31
  Speaker 17: the gun laws they passed in Virginia, specifically the sheriffs
• 49:35
  Speaker 17: and police departments in redlining areas, will never enforce. But
• 49:39
  Speaker 17: the sheriffs and police departments in heavily Democrat areas, which
• 49:43
  Speaker 17: oftentimes are heavily populated by minorities and people in challenging
• 49:48
  Speaker 17: socioeconomic circumstances, they will be prosecuted. Right. So you're going
• 49:51
  Speaker 17: to have a I got a crystal ball out. I'm
• 49:53
  Speaker 17: not wrong. You're going to have a disproportionate number of,
• 49:57
  Speaker 17: let's say, for example, young black men suffering from Democrat
• 50:01
  Speaker 17: criminal justice. And I put air quotes around that policies.
• 50:04
  Speaker 17: And in 10 years, I promise the Democrats will say,
• 50:07
  Speaker 17: look how racist the police are. I mean, it's a
• 50:11
  Speaker 17: self-licking ice cream cone. Right. But let's talk really quickly
• 50:14
  Speaker 17: about this. And the best video I think I've ever
• 50:17
  Speaker 17: made is going to come up on Tom Draft's bombs
• 50:19
  Speaker 17: on YouTube and Tom Garrett, Delegate Tom Garrett on Facebook
• 50:22
  Speaker 17: within the next today, probably. OK, where we point out
• 50:26
  Speaker 17: that the party that ran. If you take the five
• 50:29
  Speaker 17: red estates and the five blue estates, you pay $ 10
• 50:32
  Speaker 17: more every time you fill your gas tank in blue estates.
• 50:35
  Speaker 17: If you look at power bills, the exact same power consumption,
• 50:38
  Speaker 17: you're paying $ 130 per power bill more in the five
• 50:41
  Speaker 17: blue estates versus the five red estates. You're paying one
• 50:44
  Speaker 17: hundred and one dollars to buy the exact same groceries
• 50:47
  Speaker 17: that eighty five dollars buys you in a red state.
• 50:50
  Speaker 17: So that is and you add that up. That's four
• 50:52
  Speaker 17: thousand dollars a year. The governor Spanberger's affordability agenda is
• 50:56
  Speaker 17: that's what they're doing in blue states is costing every
• 50:59
  Speaker 17: family in America. So they're lying. They're lying. They're lying.
• 51:04
  Speaker 17: They're telling you everything they're telling you that the Republicans
• 51:06
  Speaker 17: are doing to you. They're doing it to you. It's
• 51:09
  Speaker 17: called gaslighting. They're exceptional at it. Republicans need to be
• 51:13
  Speaker 17: able to tell the truth as boldly as the other
• 51:16
  Speaker 17: guys lie. And that's the same thing with this biscuit
• 51:19
  Speaker 17: and the dead felons.
• 51:21
  Speaker 10: There was just a story, I think it was Friday,
• 51:24
  Speaker 10: when they figured nobody would be paying attention Saturday morning.
• 51:26
  Speaker 9: Sorry, I was.
• 51:28
  Speaker 10: That the largest energy producer in the mid-Atlantic, Dominion Energy,
• 51:33
  Speaker 10: had just announced that they wanted the State Corporation Commission
• 51:38
  Speaker 10: to give them permission to pass along the costs of
• 51:42
  Speaker 10: membership in the regional greenhouse gas emission onto the ratepayers' bills,
• 51:47
  Speaker 10: which I recall us warning everybody that if you allowed
• 51:52
  Speaker 10: the administration to change hands to a different party was
• 51:56
  Speaker 10: exactly what was going to happen.
• 51:58
  Speaker 19: Is there.
• 52:00
  Speaker 10: A handbook that tells these people okay, listen, lay low
• 52:04
  Speaker 10: for six months, and then as soon as people are
• 52:07
  Speaker 10: looking at something else like the midterm elections, you can
• 52:10
  Speaker 10: go ahead and hit them with the bill everyone warned
• 52:14
  Speaker 10: them they were going to get hit with, because it
• 52:17
  Speaker 10: just seems like this is wash, rinse, repeat. I'm no genius,
• 52:21
  Speaker 10: but I'm starting to get pretty good at pattern recognition, Tom.
• 52:25
  Speaker 10: And hang on to that thought a second. Tom drops
• 52:28
  Speaker 10: bombs on YouTube, just realized we're staring down the headlamp
• 52:33
  Speaker 10: of the oncoming 8 o'clock Eastern Express here to tell
• 52:38
  Speaker 10: us what's been going on in the world.
• 52:39
  Speaker 9: We'll do that.
• 52:40
  Speaker 10: I will get your answer to that and you as
• 52:44
  Speaker 10: well at 434- 882-4217 this morning on the talk.
• 52:50
  Speaker 33: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 52:54
  Speaker 33: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 52:56
  Speaker 7: It was MediShare that came through for us and there
• 52:59
  Speaker 7: was no hassles.
• 53:00
  Speaker 17: There was no problem.
• 53:01
  Speaker 33: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
• 53:04
  Speaker 33: of such an incredible ministry.
• 53:06
  Speaker 20: MediShare is a biblical approach to healthcare where Christians share
• 53:10
  Speaker 20: each other's medical expenses.
• 53:12
  Speaker 8: MediShare is a family, a group of people that stick
• 53:16
  Speaker 8: with you through the hardest times of your life.
• 53:19
  Speaker 20: MediShare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over 30 years old,
• 53:24
  Speaker 20: and members have shared over $ 8 billion of each other's
• 53:27
  Speaker 20: medical bills.
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: You can focus on supporting other people.
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: MediShare is affordable.
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: MediShare is biblical. MediShare is family.
• 53:36
  Speaker 20: Join thousands of Christians who can help you save on
• 53:39
  Speaker 20: your health care and support your family when you need it.
• 53:42

• 53:43
  Speaker 17: 855-SHARE-40.
• 53:47
  Speaker 18: That's 855-SHARE-40.
