0:02
Speaker 1: But you also had people that were very fine people
0:06
on both side.
0:07
Speaker 2: Making mornings great again.
0:09
Speaker 3: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
0:13
your words at steal.
0:14
Speaker 4: Men have a day at least for work, when the
0:19
sun comes up, drops a pet to school, the way Joe.
0:24
Speaker 5: Has everything a dream do.
0:26
Speaker 6: All the jas said, it.
0:27
Speaker 4: Needs no one that Joe zalis smile.
0:31
Speaker 7: He only aims pg.
0:35
Speaker 1: Let them be your Joe. Thank you for basking in
0:43
the amplitude or frequency modulation of your favorite most radio
0:48
station and allowing us to be of service to you.
0:50
Or we will tell you the news. We'll dice up
0:53
the news and serve them to you in easily digestible
0:56
gummies and ask you how it's impacting you where you are.
1:01
It's a simple equation four three four eight eight two
1:04
four two one seven multitasking as a text message or
1:10
a telephone line text message, for example. After our discussion
1:14
with Horace Cooper last hour from the National Center and
1:18
one of the leaders in the black community, Joel said
1:25
nine to eleven oh one gave us tsa, et cetera.
1:30
And I have to say, you know, the one thing
1:32
that came of September eleventh and This is controversial again
1:36
because it often is an inconvenience to us. But the
1:40
one thing that bothered me about the way Mohammed Atta
1:43
and his boys executed the terrorist attacks was that they
1:49
went in and they got behind security by going through
1:52
small regional airports in Maine, et cetera, so that they
1:58
would fly in on these quote puddle jumpers and then
2:02
be behind security at big airports like Newark and Logan,
2:07
where they figured things would be more ardent. Photograph of
2:11
Atah walking through airport security staring at the camera, and
2:15
it's an empty chair sitting there. Of all the things,
2:21
I think TSA is a little bit better for that.
2:24
I still don't believe it's the government's job to secure
2:27
a private business's airplane, but it's what the private businesses
2:36
have agreed to lest that they have to pay for
2:39
it themselves. And Joel goes on to ask when is
2:42
the media going to be responsible for accuracy? Well, when
2:46
it costs the money. And I know that sounds crass,
2:50
and I know it sounds like one of the sales
2:52
pitches for public broadcasting. But public broadcasting has clients just
2:57
like commercial broadcasting does. When it costs them money see
3:04
the changes at CBS. Oh, but Stephen Colbert won an Emmy. Okay,
3:11
I'd like to see him pay his mortgage with that emmy.
3:15
I mean, this is the stuff that you know they
3:18
do is they talk about their celebrity and they don't
3:22
talk about the actual commerce of it. And if you
3:24
do ask them about the commerce of what they do,
3:27
they get offended. Oh, we're about more than that. Yeah,
3:31
you're about being a sales team shill for somebody. We'll
3:36
get into more of your texts, emails, phone calls coming up,
3:40
but our first things. FBI director Cash Patel says that
3:47
they have found quite a bit on the assassin's alleged
3:51
assassins digital media. We've seized, he said, multiple electronic devices
3:57
from the home of the suspect and his real mantic partner.
4:00
We've got computers, laptops, gaming systems, cell phones. He said
4:05
that in conversations on social media platforms like Discord, even
4:10
in instances where he was telling people that he was
4:14
planning this assassination, people asked him why, and he said,
4:18
some hatred cannot be negotiated with. Meanwhile, Patel's deputy director
4:25
Dan Bongino said to Newsmax on Monday, investigators have uncovered
4:29
significant developments regarding a broader network of people that might
4:34
have been involved in planning the assassination of Turning Point
4:38
USA founder Charlie Kirk. White House Deputy Chief of Staff
4:42
Stephen Miller was on Charlie Kirk's old radio program being
4:47
co hosted or fill In, hosted by Vice President Vance,
4:51
and told the Vice President that the administration is getting
4:55
ready to unleash an expansive federal response to the organized
5:01
networks that help build this. In other news, Health Secretary
5:07
Robert F. Kennedy Junior's new Vaccine Advisory Committee meets Thursday
5:12
and Friday, with votes expected on whether to change recommendations
5:15
on shots against COVID nineteen hepatitis B, and chicken pox.
5:22
President Trump Monday signed an order sending the National Guard
5:26
into Memphis to combat crime and support the police department there,
5:31
constituting his latest test of the limits of this presidential power.
5:35
He made the announcement along with Republican Tennessee Governor Bill Lee,
5:41
calling it a replica of their successful efforts in Washington,
5:45
and he says Republicans need to stick together to pass
5:49
a clean continuing resolution. In the social media post Monday,
5:55
and those are our first thing, some of them on
5:58
this Tuesday.
6:06

Speaker 9: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
8:08
Speaker 1: Yes?
8:08
Speaker 9: Actually three known gas is I I'm doctor Mitch, and
8:13
nitric oxide is a gas that's readily made all day
8:17
long to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood
8:22
vessel walls. By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood,
8:27
oxygen and nutrients to every part of your body. Both
8:32
age and poor diet can lead to a loss of
8:35
this precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,

energy can go down, and you can get tingling in

your hands and feet well. Our product Ultimate nitric Oxide

9:37
than from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like

or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example

13:16
Speaker 5: My parents taught me what a lot of subbime, so
13:20
I grew up the time they've warned me about. They
13:24
said my friends were just an unruly vine, and I
13:27
should get a haircut and get a real job.
13:32
Speaker 17: Get a haircut, you get a real job.
13:35

Speaker 5: Did you get at your big mother gobe out?
13:45
Speaker 11: Get a real job?
13:47
Speaker 18: I don't know.
13:47
Speaker 1: This seems to work for me. Four three, four eight
13:50
eight two four to two one seven is the phone
13:54
number of emails come into JT in the morning radio
13:57
at gmail dot com. I've got folks line the up
14:00
John on the Treasure Coast is out there, Charles is
14:03
a great point in the email, James Luck is on
14:06
with us from jcsgold dot com. More heights, more flights,
14:11
and more folks stack and silver is James likes to
14:15
call it family business that you help you navigate gold
14:18
and silver investing. Good morning, James, how are you, sir?
14:22
Speaker 19: I'm good well Joe, and we have another green morning
14:25
so far for gold and silver. Gold is currently up
14:28
seventeen dollars to three thousand, six hundred and ninety six dollars,
14:34
and silver is up let's see rich about five cents
14:39
so far to forty two dollars and seventy five cents
14:41
inching its way forty three dollars and fifty dollars is next.
14:46
Speaker 1: It's a green days so far for silver.
14:49
Speaker 13: It is.
14:50
Speaker 1: It is non stop. But I think this is indicative
14:52
of people realizing we need that hedge and don't get
14:56
into a call center because when you have a question,
14:59
who go and call four three four coin after ten
15:04
am Easter when they get there. But it is the
15:07
Luck family and you can interact with them by email
15:09
and you know, get online with them at jcsgold dot com.
15:14
Thank you, James so Man, what a what a heady time,
15:17
and I appreciate the support.
15:20
Speaker 19: Absolutely, Thank you.
15:21
Speaker 20: Job.
15:22
Speaker 1: Let me get to Charles's email and then we will
15:24
get to John on the phone, because Charles's email is
15:28
in reference to our conversation UH with Horace Cooper from
15:33
earlier on and my concern about Stephen Miller and the
15:38
people using the assassination of Charlie Kirk as a reason
15:43
to do more Department of Homeland Security stuff. Let's call
15:48
these organized groups hate for hate and violence. What they
15:53
are terrorist networks to be treated in the same way
15:56
as other terrorist networks. And I like Charles point because
16:00
there's a legal definition to that, and if you want
16:05
the Constitution to continue to apply, you need to make
16:07
sure that these government organizations, whether we are pleased with
16:12
how it works or not at the current point, if
16:15
you have a legal definition that you have to rise
16:18
to before you can surveil, or search or arrest, then
16:25
you have a standard by what your defense can be
16:28
made as well. And I like that idea. John. Thank
16:31
you for hanging on the line on the Treasure Coast.
16:33
How are you doing this morning, my friend. I'm still vertical.
16:37
Speaker 21: I'm disabled veteran.
16:39
Speaker 1: God bless you for your service to the country, and
16:43
hopefully we're doing a decent job of living up to
16:46
the things you sacrifice for.
16:49
Speaker 21: Absolutely, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm
16:52
sure millions do for you getting out the truth in
16:57
a very very intelligent way, you know, the real truth well.
17:03
Speaker 1: And you know, unfortunately a lot of people who do
17:05
what I do, they go for the incendiary because it
17:08
gets attention, like you know, and and right now, you
17:12
know it's it's it's really turning ugly. I mean, it
17:16
isn't even a week since they killed the kid, and
17:21
and we're already seeing people posturing to make themselves gravitas
17:25
off of his corpse.
17:28
Speaker 21: Yeah, and you have people like this George Sorow's character,
17:33
who is pumping millions of dollars into the campaigns to
17:36
support and get into office.
17:38
Speaker 1: These we need prosecutors.
17:41
Speaker 21: We is President Trump going to do something about maybe
17:46
somehow or another finding a chink in his armor and
17:50
and and getting after this Sorrow's character.
17:53
Speaker 1: Well, he's you know, I think there's something to what
17:57
Charles was saying is if you can label some of
17:59
these folks that suborn you know, calling people Nazis and
18:04
saying there's only one way to stop Nazis, not necessarily
18:07
saying what that is, but we get the implication. H
18:10
and all these folks who you talk about kicking them
18:15
when they're down. I just had a story here. This
18:17
is Iowa. You know, Iowa known for like radar, O'Reilly
18:22
and and and it was his name, Gopher on the
18:25
love boat was their senator for many years. This is
18:29
a left winger running for Iowa's third congressional district, Xavier Carrigan.
18:35
Xavier Carrigan giving me a speech yesterday, John, when they
18:40
go low, we drive our knee right into their face.
18:44
So he's taken that.
18:45
Speaker 7: That old.
18:47
Speaker 1: Attorney general. All of a sudden, I've spaced his name,
18:51
and you can't forget this guy. He's his word. He's
18:53
worse than Obama was. But when they go low, we
18:57
kick him. No, he said this, repeating, we're in a
19:01
fight against fascism, he writes, factually, and these are terrorist
19:06
states statements. If of a conservative said that about Maxine Waters,
19:11
they'd be up, their Facebook account would be frozen, their
19:15
YouTube channel would be taken down. But these folks, it's like, oh,
19:19
it's free speech. You have to defend free speech, Joe.
19:24
Speaker 21: Yeah, so yeah, well sorrows guy has injected millions of
19:30
dollars to actually destroy our our whole legal system.
19:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, because he wants authoritarianism, because he believes
19:38
he'll he'll be in the inner circle of the authoritarians.
19:42
Thank you, John, You have a great morning, sir, you too,
19:45
God bless you. Let me get lined too here, Good morning.
19:48
You're on the air. First thing this morning with Joe Thomas.
19:51
Who's this?
19:53
Speaker 22: Hey Joe, it's Moscow Bob, And just a quick thing.
19:56
What you're talking about with that wonderful gentleman in your discussion.
20:00
Isn't what Chuck Schumer did when he said nailed out
20:05
Neil Gordchuch and you need to get in a station,
20:07
needs take care of him and all the magnets. Isn't
20:10
that the true definition of what an insurrection is against
20:13
the country.
20:14
Speaker 1: Is I would take the more specific because I'm worried
20:18
about individual And here's here's my problem is it's not
20:23
President Trump or even Stephen Miller. I know people have
20:27
trouble with Stephen Miller. My issue is the next guy.
20:32
Remember everyone was fine with Dick Cheney and George Bush
20:37
and the Department of Homeland Security and oh Tom Ridge
20:40
is great whatever. They're all good conservatives, whatever they may be.
20:45
And then we saw what could be done with that
20:48
kind of authority under a guy like Barack Obama. And
20:52
I'm not even sure George Bush and Dick Cheney didn't
20:55
wield the power that way. Maybe they just didn't realize it.
20:58
But when BARACKO realizing, right, I don't need to hire,
21:03
you know, criminals to break into my opponent's office anymore.
21:06
I can send the FBI, right.
21:11
Speaker 22: And what I'm saying is there's always going to be
21:13
someone again, someone again. And how the left was bringing
21:16
about Timothy McVeigh, like I told you the other day,
21:20
if they term what Schumer, what Pelosi, what hatem, Jeffries,
21:25
what AOC, what lr omar are doing is a threat
21:29
against the country, has an interaction inciting violence, and they
21:33
arrest them, it's going to put a damper on some
21:37
of these other people trying to do some of this
21:39
stuff because they're going to finally see that the Democrats
21:42
are being held responsible, because the Democrats are never held responsible.
21:46
But if you start arresting Chuck Schumer, put him in jail,
21:51
just like the other insurrections from January sixth no bail.
21:55
Let them sit there for two three years.
21:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, to let them sit there. I like that, Ay Brandt.
22:02
And her name is Shary.
22:03
Speaker 23: I love She's a friend of mine whom we were
22:06
just praying for because of a surgery. She just went through.
22:09
Speaker 18: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
22:12
talk about all the time, which is medashare.
22:14
Speaker 17: That is right.
22:14
Speaker 23: Yeah, So what was your experience like with meta share
22:17
and healthcare ability?
22:18
Speaker 18: Honestly, Brandt seamless and what a blessing that is when
22:21
you're already nervous about a health issue which I was.
22:24
Members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
22:27
me tell you, having people pray with you when you
22:31
call in with your need, that.
22:32
Speaker 23: Is just refreshing.
22:34
Speaker 2: Yes, that's what it is.
22:35
Speaker 1: What I keep telling people.
22:36
Speaker 23: People love meda share and they love saving money. The
22:39
typical family can save five hundred dollars a month.
22:42
Speaker 18: I am very thankful for meta share. It is so different,
22:46
and I mean different in a very very good way.
22:48
Speaker 23: It is good different call now. They're easy to talk

Speaker 24: I'm doctor Michael Bailey, President of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
23:06
Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
23:11
better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
23:16
up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports
23:20
veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
23:25
personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
23:31
and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
23:35
on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
23:40
a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
23:44
AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
23:48
your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
23:53
center of our profession. For more information on AI and
23:57

Speaker 3: From the home of the First Amendment.
28:14
Speaker 2: First thing today, Well you didn't build that.
28:36
Speaker 1: That's sorry, buck Man Bob in Moscow is still along
28:58
with us telling about how do we get punish and
29:01
that's the issue. Well, and I don't disagree, but here's
29:04
here's what we have to be prepared for. Bob is
29:09
the inevitable. Oh, you're arresting people because of their speech,
29:13
and and there will be people on the conservative sides.
29:17
And I'm not comfortable with that. And that's why I
29:19
like having a defined you know, call it terrorism, call
29:24
it you know, you said insurrection. I think that's a
29:27
broad term. I want something narrow like terrorism, you know,
29:32
because that brings up.
29:35
Speaker 22: How about against the country.
29:37
Speaker 1: Well again, then basically.
29:38
Speaker 30: What it is.
29:41
Speaker 1: There's the danger in saying, well, if if you and
29:44
I questioned Barack Obama or Joe Biden's governance, is that treason?
29:50
And and what is the borderline between criticizing the government
29:55
and being treasonous? And and this is what the left
29:58
loves to do.
29:59
Speaker 2: They look simple.
30:02
Speaker 22: How about as simple as this inciting a riot? I
30:07
like it because that's what they did. But Barack Odonnald
30:10
Barack Obama did. I can't go out there in the
30:13
theater and yell fire. If there's no fire, they'll rest
30:16
me and throw me in jail. Do the same thing
30:18
to Chuck Schumer, right now, that's it. They should immediately
30:22
arrest them, immediate rest and inciting a riot.
30:27
Speaker 1: No, Bob, you know, this is what I mean is
30:30
we have to have precise legal terms because you know
30:34
there is protections of speech, But what does that speech do?
30:39
Is it treasonous? Mike? Just text in treason would be
30:42
giving away state secrets. Though just saying that the president
30:46
is a Marxist is not treason, I know. But when
30:50
the Attorney general can go after you because you threaten
30:55
and understand, we're living in a post reality world where
31:00
Merrick Garland can drum up charges against a parent simply
31:08
because they threatened to run against or start a recall
31:12
petition unelected an elected official because that was threatening them.
31:19
Oh dear, I've threatened to cost you your job. See
31:22
that's the crazy, made gas lit world we're in. In
31:27
a world where Merrick Garland can say, threatening to run
31:30
against somebody in a political campaign because of their misrepresenting
31:35
misrepresentation on a school board can fall unto the heading
31:39
of making threats to somebody simply because the elected official said,
31:46
I felt bad because now they're going to run against me.
31:50
Let's say you're it's the word games that they play
31:56
are weary making at first and infuriating at the end.
32:02
Doctor Clark hanging on the line at four three four
32:05
eight eight two four two one seven with addendums or two,
32:10
good morning Clark, how are you?
32:12
Speaker 28: I'm doing great, so, Joe, you make me think the
32:17
Left should hire Beavis from Beavis and butt Head to
32:21
do the corn Holyo Act.
32:23
Speaker 22: Are you threatening me?
32:24
Speaker 28: Are you threatening me?
32:31
Speaker 1: By Judge's attorneys are on the phone suggesting that we
32:34
might have to defend ourselves against the misuse of his character.
32:37
Speaker 28: Judge, Mike Judge is a genius shoe now is not
32:42
oscrodomas When you watch Idiocrisy, that's not prediction to the future.
32:48
That's Norman Rockwell doing a real good painting what he
32:52
sees right now.
32:53
Speaker 1: I'm telling you you're not. Although I wouldn't I wouldn't
32:57
mind Terry Crews for president, you know, but that's okay, Yeah,
33:02
there you go. If you and if nobody's ever seen idiocracy, uh,
33:08
it's it really is worth it. And in the fact
33:12
that you know, number one crocs were invented for idiocracy.
33:17
Speaker 3: Uh.
33:17
Speaker 1: If you're wondering because they they sent the prop department
33:20
out to find the most ridiculous shoes that nobody would
33:23
nobody would, common sense would ever wear, and they found
33:27
Crocs in some sort of like shark tank program and
33:30
they're like, oh that that will never sell. And now
33:32
of course they're all over the place, but it's it's
33:35
worth it for what is, as doctor Clark say, is
33:38
way too close to a documentary on life in the
33:42
United States, at least on social media.
33:45
Speaker 28: The first ten minutes of that movie is probably the
33:48
best documentary that's been done in a two.
33:51
Speaker 1: Or three decades. Truth.
33:53
Speaker 2: But anyway, so.
33:57
Speaker 28: You know, an hour ago, becomestion was when will the
34:03
media tell the truth? Be accountable? And you said when
34:05
it costs some money? Yeah, okay, Now law fair is
34:13
the left preferred game right now. Have we had lawsuits
34:18
against the cult manufacturing Corporation?
34:22
Speaker 1: I don't know if Colting particularly, but I do know
34:25
that there have been attempts and there are still attempts
34:28
to come up with US code that would permit for
34:33
lawsuits against gun manufacturers. Yeah.
34:36
Speaker 28: Well, okay, so the shooter in the Kurk case is
34:41
responsible for his actions.
34:43
Speaker 2: I'm not giving him a pass.
34:46
Speaker 28: But he's also a deliberately created weapon, and we should
34:51
have some massive lawsuits against the manufacturers. Discord MSNBC.
35:00
Speaker 22: At all.
35:02
Speaker 28: Are to be named in billions of dollars of lawsuits
35:06
and wants to make them defend this for a while.
35:09
Speaker 1: Well here's an interesting thought based on that, doctor Clark.
35:12
So let's say Cash Betel and Dan Bongino and you know,
35:15
all the actual investigators that are doing this stuff because
35:18
they don't have time to go on TV, you know,
35:22
start connecting the dots with people in these conversations, and
35:26
they find somebody in this shooter, in this uh suspect's
35:32
life that was paid by Open Society. Let's just say
35:36
they were funded by organizing for you know, UTAH or
35:44
the Open Society somehow TIDES Foundation. And this, this thought leader,
35:51
this influencer who was paid for by these groups, is
35:54
the one where this guy really got ramped up. Maybe
35:58
he's a transgender in luincer that his power more really liked.
36:04
And this is what kicked his last good marble out
36:06
of his hand because he was out there saying, Charlie Kirk,
36:10
is you know the big danger to your right to
36:13
be whoever you want to be and this is America.
36:15
Whatever the I'm trying to make up what a transgender
36:20
influencer might sound like. But if you could find them,
36:25
it would be interesting to see if would we go
36:27
after them for incitement for complicitcy in this That's an
36:32
interesting question.
36:35
Speaker 28: Well, it's certainly one that needs to be explored. I'm
36:41
sure that somebody on our side could figure out how
36:44
to judge shop the less things to be very good
36:47
at it.
36:47
Speaker 1: Oh Lord knows the expert at it. But I mean
36:51
the other problem is, right now, you've got voices in
36:56
and amongst Maga, if you will, and the press loves
36:59
to go after this of stuff. Who are blaming Israel
37:02
for it. They're actually pointing at Israel saying that they
37:05
that this kid in Utah is a patsy for Massade
37:11
who called in the hit on Charlie Kirk because he
37:14
was starting to waiver in his undying support for the
37:18
president's stand on Israel. Why Jeeves did it? Yeah, I've
37:24
heard that before somewhere. Somebody has used that before, so
37:28
you know, and if they were Nazis, then you fill
37:33
in the blank anyway, doctor Carr, good stuff, my friend,
37:36
Go save some animals. I'm on it right. You got
37:40
to bless a man who you know whose patients can't
37:43
tell them where it hurts specifically four three four eight
37:47
eight two four two one seven is the vone or
37:49
Chuck Schumer in the news? Uh, and not in a
37:54
good way. Thanks to Joe Manchin. I'll explain when we
37:57
get back here. On First Thing Today by Joe Thomas.
38:01
Speaker 23: Life can change so abruptly.
38:04
Speaker 1: Just ask Paul. He's a hard.
38:06
Speaker 23: Working entrepreneur, he's young, he's got a young family. Suddenly, though,
38:09
he develops a rare medical condition where he lost the
38:12
use of both of his arms.
38:14
Speaker 31: I could no longer drive a car, couldn't use a computer, type,
38:17
couldn't use a mouse. I could not hold my son,
38:19
who was about a month old.
38:20
Speaker 23: Paul and his family were facing a mountain of medical bills,
38:23
but they're so thankful that they're members of Meta Share.
38:27
Speaker 31: I think if someone asked me, like, hey, does medicare
38:30
really wre I'm living proof that it works. My four
38:33
children are living proof that it works. My arms, which
38:36
have been healed, are living proof that menashare works. Just
38:40
knowing the emotional peace of mind, knowing that our needs
38:42
are going to be taken care of when we have
38:44
some type of medical problem that is such a huge
38:46

Speaker 9: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
39:08
bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
39:13
I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
39:19
optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
39:23
nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
39:27
reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
39:32
The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
39:37
has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
39:42
cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
39:46
in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
39:51
healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

41:02
on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
41:05
I'm not only in alle of their beauty and kindness,
41:07
but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
41:09
birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
41:13
who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
41:15
who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
41:18
for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
41:21
them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
41:23
of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
41:26
best friends, the canines. We know dogs are a wonderful
41:29
pets at home, but because of their acute senses, they
41:32
also perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us
41:35
safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom
41:38
suffer from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when
41:41
there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have
41:44
a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society
41:47
and help those in need. So please join me an

Speaker 7: Who's with me?
42:13
Speaker 15: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my

brain is saying when it's time to go home, Somebody
42:19
call me a ride.
42:20
Speaker 25: Love that guy, me too, know.

Speaker 33: Did you know that more than half our household energy
42:32
costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
42:36
good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
42:40
One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
42:42
energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
42:46
learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
42:50
That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
42:53
leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
42:56
improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
43:00
when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
43:03
energy Star logo and read the energy guide label. And
43:07
there are day to day things you can do. Lower
43:09
your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,

close fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep

and you have to pick which show you want to
46:20
go see. So if you're listening in someplace like Sandpoint, Idaho,
46:26
and maybe you want to go to the Salt Lake
46:27
City show, enter for it. I'm not saying I can't
46:32
drive you there, but that's okay wherever you may be.
46:36
Just let us know you know who you are, where
46:39
you're listening, so we can get back in touch with
46:41
you if you win the drawings. I think the first
46:43
show is November sixteenth, so we have a little time
46:48
but I want to get you entered. I want to
46:50
spread the word and let you know we're doing it.
46:53
I think Joe Mansion, former West Virginia Senator still because
47:01
he's written his book. His new book is out blowing
47:08
the whistle on Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden and the
47:15
way they were doing things. In the book, Joe Manchin
47:18
accuses Schumer of wanting to vote quote he could broadcast
47:23
to the radical left to prove his royalty is loyalty.
47:29
This is the vote on getting rid of the filibuster.
47:37
Manchin's book claims the Senate majority leader at the time
47:41
didn't actually want to get rid of the filibuster or
47:44
believe that it was the right thing to do, but
47:46
he needed to vote for it to fulfill his quote
47:50
only priority of maintaining control of the Senate. And I
47:54
think this is an important passage from this book because
48:00
frequently you and I have had this conversation, and I
48:04
will share my analysis with you on spack that you
48:12
grasp that I have some over time just osmosis collections
48:18
of insight into how these things work. So when we
48:21
talk about the blood sport that manifests itself in the
48:26
assassination of people like Charlie Kirk. It's because of the
48:31
power of these seats and how much of other people's
48:36
money it traffics in. And you see it right in here.
48:40
So Chuck Schumer was going to take a vote to
48:43
blow up the filibuster, not because he thought it was
48:46
a good idea or right or constitutional, but because it's
48:50
what the radical left wanted and he needed to. His
49:01
only priority, quoting Mansion here, his only priority was maintaining
49:07
control of the US Senate power. That's an unconstitutional situation
49:16
right there. The Constitution is not about the Senate controlled.
49:20
As a matter of fact, the Constitution isn't about Chuck
49:23
Schumer pandering to voters to keep control of the Senate anyway.
49:28
But that's a deeper, darker story. But this is what
49:31
this is about. Don't doubt me. As the great Rush
49:35
Limbaugh used to say, don't doubt me on this. This
49:39
is about trafficking in other people's money. Manchin continues to write,
49:47
because of what I knew, because of what I had
49:50
seen firsthand, I wanted Republicans to win the Senate majority
49:54
in twenty twenty four. I believed it was the only
49:56
hope for preserving the Senate as an institution. I truly
50:00
believed that if in power, Republicans would uphold the filibuster,
50:05
the last guardrail from preventing a total partisan rule. So
50:18
we need to repeal the seventeenth Amendment that puts the
50:24
Senate in the hands of their voters rather than through
50:28
the hands of their governor, who the voters actually choose. Anyway,
50:33
and understand part of the fraud that William Randolph Hurst,
50:39
the last century's version of Mark Zuckerbucks. William Randolph Hurst
50:46
pitched the idea through his magazines in his newspapers that
50:50
he owned across the country that the senators being appointed
50:56
by the governors and approved by the General's Assembly of
51:00
the various states, somehow took the Senate away from the
51:06
citizen when it was you, the citizen. I wish I
51:11
had been around one hundred years ago to blow up
51:14
this nonsense. You the citizen, choose your General Assembly, You
51:19
the citizen choose your governor, and it's more likely to
51:26
be a volatile situation because you're closer to your General
51:30
Assembly and your governor. So you, actually, I would make
51:34
the case, have more say in a state appointed senator
51:40
than these pandering populacets of bohunk because Mansion lays it
51:49
out that all about keeping power. It was all about
51:54
keeping my hands on other people's money. Because understand the scenario.
51:58
This is like shark tank with people who aren't investing
52:05
their own money. Imagine the US Congress, House and Senate
52:11
as a venture capital firm who never has any of
52:16
their own money in the game. You just come to
52:21
them with a crazy idea. Hey, I want to build
52:25
this weapons system that will tickle the machine gun operator
52:30
and making a mess. All right, get him a million
52:33
dollar grant. He's in my home state and I need
52:38
to get the votes for a reelection. So be a
52:41
jobs program. It's venture capital for people who are investing
52:46
other people's money. That's what it is.
52:51
Speaker 30: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
52:55
turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
52:57
Speaker 7: It was Medicare that came through force. There was no hassles,
53:01
there was no problem.
53:02
Speaker 30: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
53:06
of such an incredible ministry.
53:07
Speaker 27: Meta share is a Biblical approach to healthcare where Christians
53:11
share each other's medical expenses.
53:13
Speaker 14: Medishare is a family, a group of people that stick
53:18
with you through the hardest times of your life.
53:20
Speaker 27: Metashare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over thirty years
53:24
old and members have shared over eight billion dollars of
53:27
each other's medical bills.
53:29
Speaker 4: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
53:31
Speaker 7: You can focus on on supporting other people. Medashare is affordable.
53:35
Speaker 27: Medishare is biblical, medas Share is family. Join thousands of
53:38
Christians who can help you save on your healthcare and
53:41
support your family when you need it. Call eight five
53:44
five Share forty, eight five five share forty. That's eight
53:49
