  Speaker 1: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Joe works at a steel mill.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: He's down here every day.
• 0:12
  Speaker 4: Leaves for work when the sun comes up.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Drops a kid to school and on the way.
• 0:18
  Speaker 5: Joe has everything he dreamed of. All the treasures that
• 0:21
  Speaker 5: he needs.
• 0:22
  Speaker 6: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:25
  Speaker 7: He only aims.
• 0:26
  Speaker 8: To please you.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Let me be your Joe.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: this morning. Coming to you on location at a place
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: called Common Ground in Fishersville, Virginia, where each week our
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: friends at City Elders hold their meeting here. If you
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: don't have a City Elders group where you are, you
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: should start one. And our friend Kevin, our host, is
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: more than willing to take emails from you if you
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: want information on how to do that. City Elders is
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: a group dedicated to getting ethical people, people of faith,
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: elected into office so that this constant corruption and corrosion
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: of our policies to replace our morals. And I used
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: to joke, and I feel like there's some irony to this,
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: when I was a kid, We used to joke that
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: we didn't have morals, we had policies, because policies were
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: easier to change. And little did I know that putting
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: those words out there as a pithy, tongue-in-cheek kind of
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: joke would manifest in the way our country is operating
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: and our cities and our towns. So we've holstered our
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: morals in exchange for policies because, as the teenage Joe
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Thomas used to say, they're easier to change. And that's
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: what city elders fights. City elders fights and puts people
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: who have morals into your governing bodies. And there were
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: eight states now. Eight states have several multiple city elders chapters.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: If you don't where you are, Kevin said, email him.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: It's Kevin at CityEldersVA.org. And he'll be glad to explain
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: to you how easy it is to get one of
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: these things up and running. And I'll tell you, it
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: is refreshing for all the folks saying, Joe, what are
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: we going to do? What are we going to do?
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: It isn't gone too far. And tomorrow I'm speaking at
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: one of the keynotes at a Turning Point USA event.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: And that's the other place to plug into, Turning Point USA.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: And they do a lot with city elders. If you
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: want to call them the city youngers, it's fine. Where
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: the young people are rallying against the authoritarianism as well.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: So leave us to begin much in the first things
• 3:09

• 3:18

  Speaker 3: shooting took place. Authorities believe at least five people are
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: dead earlier in the day from that shooting at the
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: elementary school in Bend. According to two law enforcement officials,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: they spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: because they haven't authorized any releases to the public. Federal

  Speaker 3: authorities are investigating letters with, quote, suspicious substances that have
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: been mailed to congressional and election offices around the country,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: urging recipients to treat the mailings as, quote, potentially hazardous.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: The FBI investigation, along with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: and U.S. Capitol Police, first disclosed a message from the
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: sergeant at arms at the Capitol. The notice sent to

  Speaker 3: additional letters. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Secretary of

• 4:46
  Speaker 3: daily activities independently, said his personal doctor, Dr. Luigi Carbone,

  Speaker 3: is proceeding as expected. The Trump administration has sued California

  Speaker 3: denied a report that he is considering replacing White House
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. Our friends at Mesa Verde
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Hemp have helped me through. We've spent the week rebuilding
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: an AM transmitter for our flagship station, which involves an
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: awful lot of crawling around, an awful lot of kneeling
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: and squatting and doing things with parts of my body,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: quite honestly, that they haven't had done with them in
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: a very long while. So I got home and got
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: the dropper out of the CBD oil that Sealy made
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: for us out there. It's MesaVerdeHemp.com. Right there at the
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: four corners. And Cortez, where they're listening to us each
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: and every morning, put a little on my shoulders and
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: my knees and eased everything going on there. So I
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: should watch myself. Wasn't it just last week I was
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: complaining that I was running out of things to testify
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: to using CBD oil? I guess that's the truth about
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: it is you can start and stop as you need.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: It's topical and it takes the pain away. of doing
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: things that you don't always do.
• 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.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: And that's MediShare.
• 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.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: But it's also true.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: People are just happier with it.
• 7:18
  Speaker 9: They love being part of something that reflects and promotes their.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Values and what they believe in.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: 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, yeah, really,
• 7:36
  Speaker 9: you can save a ton and like it better. Imagine
• 7:38
  Speaker 9: being happy with how you're taking care of your health care,
• 7:41
  Speaker 9: whether you're self-employed or part of the gig economy, or

  Speaker 10: Here you go.

  Speaker 4: It's 855-SHARE-40. 855-S-H-A-R-E-40.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: 855-SHARE-40.
• 8:03
  Speaker 11: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 11: I'm Dr.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Mitch.
• 8:14
  Speaker 11: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 8:20
  Speaker 11: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 8:24
  Speaker 11: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 8:28
  Speaker 11: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 8:32
  Speaker 11: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 8:39
  Speaker 11: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer. or at
• 8:43
  Speaker 11: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances,
• 8:47
  Speaker 11: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 8:52
  Speaker 11: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
• 8:57
  Speaker 11: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
• 9:02
  Speaker 12: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 12: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 12: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 12: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:16
  Speaker 12: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 12: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 12: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 12: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 12: personal information like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:37
  Speaker 12: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 12: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 12: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 12: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 13: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: I'm Jack Hanna.
• 10:00
  Speaker 14: Since I was a boy growing up on a farm
• 10:01
  Speaker 14: in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only
• 10:05
  Speaker 14: in awe of their beauty and kindness, but also their
• 10:07
  Speaker 14: tireless work ethic.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: Just look at the.
• 10:08
  Speaker 14: Birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 14: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
• 10:15
  Speaker 14: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
• 10:17
  Speaker 14: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
• 10:21
  Speaker 14: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 10:23
  Speaker 14: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
• 10:26
  Speaker 14: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
• 10:30
  Speaker 14: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving
• 10:33
  Speaker 14: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
• 10:36
  Speaker 14: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
• 10:39
  Speaker 14: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
• 10:42
  Speaker 14: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
• 10:44
  Speaker 14: trained roles that contribute to society.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: And help those in need. So please join me and American.

• 11:01
  Speaker 16: Oh, yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 8: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 17: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 14: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 17: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 17: somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 15: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:28
  Speaker 18: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 18: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 18: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:39
  Speaker 18: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home

  Speaker 18: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a

  Speaker 19: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35

  Speaker 1: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:18
  Speaker 12: If you want black tears on a river, push on
• 13:22
  Speaker 12: a shove.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: It don't need much.
• 13:24
  Speaker 16: Joker on jack, match on a fire, cold on ice.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: A dead man's touch.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Whisper on a stream, doesn't change a thing, don't bring
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: you back.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: So the reports I'm getting out of Ben, and there
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: are several things that strike us as we're going through
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: the information as it's coming out. That the suspect, from
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: what we understand, also a minor, 16 years old, got
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: into the school by shooting through a lock using a rifle.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: And that requires, you know, and I don't know what
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: part of the school it was. It may not have
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: been visible. But according to police, the first call came
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: from a driver who was driving by and said, hey,
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: there's somebody with a rifle shooting at one of the
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: doors of the school. The 16-year-old, apparently in grasp of
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: enough of his marbles to realize, crap, somebody has seen
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: me doing this, shot at the car. as it was
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: driving by on with 911, Bend Police Chief Mike Krantz
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: said the police officers arrived within three minutes. A reminder, please,
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: that when seconds matter, even in an instant like this,
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: police are still minutes away. This is why armed security
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: at your schools is important. Whether it's a police officer,
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: a sheriff, retired sheriff. Some communities, they work with the
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: retired law enforcement, sheriff's auxiliaries. I've seen multiple different ways
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: of handling the, quote, hardening of our schools. You've got
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: school board members who will sit there out of one
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: face telling you that they want to raise a one-cent
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: sales tax so that they can pay friends of theirs
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: to come and pave the parking lot. But will look
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: at you with the other face and tell you that
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: police officers, school security, whatever you.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: School resource officers, whatever name you want to give it,
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: is too expensive. Oh, we can't afford that. I'm not
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: sure I've ever understood that point. In a building where
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: you're intentionally saying, everyone face away from the door, you've
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: told us that you want us, you require us to
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: give you our children for hours and hours on the day.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: You won't let us take the money that you've taxed
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: us for for education and use them as we see
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: fit elsewhere in many cases, although that's changing. So a teacher,
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: a 5 and 8 and an 11-year-old were killed A
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: seven-year-old was injured. There are reports from police officers. There
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: are five dead. I believe that includes the shooter. And
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: this is awkward. So Tina Kotek, the governor of Oregon,
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: not a Republican, not endorsed by any guns rights advocates
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: that I know of. But Governor Tina Kotek praised the
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: bystanders' heroic intervention. A community member, having been alerted to
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: this going on, went there with their legally owned firearm. Yes,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: that happens in Oregon. I bear testimony. You may not
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: think so. That's not the image they want you to
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: have of Oregon. Oh no, we don't have guns here
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: in Oregon. I have, and I have framed it now,
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: my first concealed carry permit issued by the city of Charlottesville.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: And I have it just because, yeah, for all you hand-wringing,
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: but when, and I hate, it's not that I don't
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: have concern. I have concern for The next three kids
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: was a horrific murder years ago. It was sort of
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: that moment that Charlottesville, our flagship area, got addicted to
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: national notoriety. Two lacrosse players were dating. Yardley Love was
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: the female lacrosse player who had her head bashed into
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: the wall multiple times until she was dead, left for
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: dead on her bed. Her boyfriend, Hughley, the other lacrosse player,
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: doing time for it appropriately, although he had been in
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: trouble for assaulting law enforcement officers before that. Red flags?
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: You all want red flags, right? But anyway, when that happened,
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: Yardley loves parents in showing an amazing grace and grasp
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: of Reality that I don't know if I could have
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: if it happened to one of my children or certainly
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: my daughter started an organization saying help save the next girl. Grass.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: that nothing could bring Yardley Love back, but we could
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: save the next girl. So what we're discussing now is
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: not what the mainstream media will do, which is clutch
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: pearls and stare pearls You know, take the Walter Cronkite. Oh,
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: I've just taken my glasses off. I must be serious.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: We can't do anything about the dead bodies in Bend,
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: Oregon today except try to make the next ones less likely.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: And I'm sorry if you say that that's showing a
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: certain amount of uncare. We have great friends, KFIR in
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Salem and KUFO in Portland. But something in the mind
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: of this 16-year-old said, this is the answer to whatever
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: my problems are. And this goes back into what I
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: was talking about, morals versus policies. A moral person understands
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: thou shalt not murder and is well-versed in exactly what
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: that means. And that's the first step in fighting these
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: incidences is getting back to a world, what was it,
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: 30 years ago now, 25 years ago, we started taking
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: the Ten Commandments out of our schools. I'll even capitulate
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: to the fact that it's the modern retelling which says
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: thou shalt not kill. I'm glad that this community member
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: that brought their legally owned firearm in there wasn't thinking
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: thou shalt not kill. He was understanding that murder is
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: different than kill, and perhaps saved dozens and dozens of lives.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: But let's save the next 8-year-old. Let's save the next 11-year-old.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: Let's save the next 54-year-old.

  Speaker 16: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National Lead Trainer for Planet Fitness,
• 22:05
  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
• 22:12
  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
• 22:20
  Speaker 16: what you already love to do, like exercise. And a

  Speaker 11: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 11: I'm Dr.
• 24:13
  Speaker 20: Mitch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 11: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:19
  Speaker 11: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:23
  Speaker 11: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 24:28
  Speaker 11: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 24:32
  Speaker 11: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 24:39
  Speaker 11: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer. or at
• 24:43
  Speaker 11: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances,
• 24:46
  Speaker 11: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even

  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:20
  Speaker 21: There's an issue.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: And there's responsibilities and, you know, the old mobster movie thing. Hey, Tony,
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: you know what we do with responsible people around here?
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: But there's a responsibility that we take on that sometimes,
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: sometimes requires me to talk about something I really don't
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: want to talk about. Because I'm not sure who the
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: heroes of the story are at this point. I know
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: that this guy Eric Dieters, from what he has presented
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: to us publicly, rubs me the wrong way. He rubs
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: me like someone selling some sort of weird Krugerrand during
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: the middle of the night on television. And you get
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: these ads... Tune in Thursday at 5, and I'm going
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: to tell you all the things that are going to
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: bring down the New York Stock Exchange. And I'm not
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: saying this. is an implication that he's making this up,
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: but there is enough in my head saying, hang on
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: a second here. So this is the guy, this is
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: the donor to the Trump campaign that has forced the
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Greek ambassador out. I know, in the world of international intrigue,
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: who our ambassador to Greece is is not high up there.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: This was one of those, thank you for all your work, Kim. Here,
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: take a few years and live in Athens for a while. So,
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: Kimberly Guilfoyle has resigned at the request of the president.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: But Eric Dieters yesterday goes on social media and has
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: been picked up by all of the news because his
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: story has received enough notoriety because these accusations about Kimberly
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: Guilfoyle had already made news. So now Eric Dieters posts
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: a video to social media yesterday and says things like.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Just bring down the entire Trump administration.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: All right, so right off the bat, I'm like, okay,
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: so you're a Trump donor. And I have to qualify
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: for a second here. So in 2017, here in our
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: flagship city, you may have heard of the very fine
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: people on both sides. Well, that very fine people on
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: the both sides began almost a year, maybe eight months
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: before the very fine people riots happened. Here in Charlottesville.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: And I went to a meeting with one of the
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: organizers of the Nazis. Because everyone said, he's a great conservative, Joe.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: This guy's trying to bring down this liberal city councilor,
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: black man. So I went to this meeting. I said, well,
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: I felt betrayed by Wes Bellamy, who was the city councilor.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: Because I liked him. I liked what he had done
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: in the world of non-profits. He ran boxing camps. To
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: help kids get off the street and do something with themselves.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: And I thought that was laudable. But then he gets
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: into city council and he starts to become a political apparatus.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: A political organ. And he stops being interesting. He stops
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: being somebody who's trying to help people and starts being
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: somebody who just wants a long and illustrious political career.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: And to sell books and to make himself famous. largesse
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: from his position in the public square. And I found
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: that to be annoying to the point of dislike because
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: I felt like he had either lied to me or
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: had changed so profoundly. So I went to hear what
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: this guy Kessler was talking about. And I left that
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: meeting saying, well, he's as bad as Wes is. This
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: guy just wants to start a dumpster fire to make
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: himself famous. So I wasn't going to cotton to it.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: And sure enough, by August 12th of 2017, I had
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: been proven right as David Duke walks past me. And
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, okay. So these aren't actually Trump supporters.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: They were all out there. Remember, they named their group
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: the Unite the Right. It should have been Unite the Reich,
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: but Why quibble? And I took great peril. I used
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: to have people looking out for me as I entered
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: the broadcast facilities at 2 in the morning because this
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: was a crew that I wasn't sure what they were
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: going to do. And he and I, he called the station.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: You know me. I don't screen my phone calls. And
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you this story because here's where I come
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: into this Eric Dieter story as well. So, you know,
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: I don't screen my phone calls. So one morning prior
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: to August of 2017, phone rings. Hi, you're on the
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: air with Joe first thing this morning. Why won't you
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: let me on the air? You're violating my First Amendment rights.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: You're like, Jason, you're on the air right now. I'm
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: not violating your First Amendment rights. You don't have a
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: First Amendment right to minutes of my listeners time.
• 34:09
  Speaker 13: So.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: You're on the phone. You're yelling and screaming at me.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: I don't have time for this, and you're not helping
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: my listeners get their day started. Goodbye. Because I wasn't
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: helping him hawk, whatever it was. And as the tear
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: gas and the pepper spray started flying, I had bona
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: fide listeners running up to me in the middle of
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: this riot, saying to me, Joe, what the hell is
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: going on? David Duke is in there talking about clearing
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: the black people out and blood and soil and all
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: this stuff. I said, go home. Go home and forget
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: you were ever here. So those memories come back as
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: I listen to this guy. Dieters claimed that he is
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: this ardent longtime Trump supporter, but he's going to bring
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: down the administration. Okay. His video goes on.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: An administration which I have supported from day one.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: You mean like Jason Kessler supported Trump and David Duke
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: supported Donald Trump back in 2017, right, Eric?
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: Whose policies I still support.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: So you say.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: It also may end the J.D.
• 35:24
  Speaker 23: Vance, Marco Rubio ticket after you hear the phone call
• 35:30
  Speaker 23: that I'm going to play tomorrow.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: And that was the moment I'm like, oh, I've seen
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: these videos. I'm going to tell you what stocks to
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: invest in on Thursday. If you pay $ 49. 95, I will
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: give you exclusive access to this video. I'm sorry if
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: I feel this way, and it could just be bad coaching,
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: but if Mr. Dieters is writing this, either he's been
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: poorly coached at how to present himself. Or he's like
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: these guys who want you to pay him $ 49. 95 so
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: he can have $ 49. 95 of your money and you'll spend
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: five minutes watching a video that says invest in tech stocks. Anyway,
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: the video goes on at length and I'm not going
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: to play you the whole thing. But you're in the
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: midst of this. So I feel like I'm obligated to
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: share these viewpoints on this story.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: It's my opinion that I have brought down the Greek ambassador.
• 36:39
  Speaker 23: It's my opinion that Susie Wiles is going to go.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: Now, this becomes a news story because the press, having
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: watched this video, catches up with President Trump yesterday and says,
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: are you firing Susie Wiles? And he's like, no, I'm
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: not firing. Keep in mind, Susie Wiles is the one who,
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: as everyone said in 2024, Wow, Donald Trump doesn't wander
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: off the point as much as he used to because
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: Susie Wiles kept him on point during the campaign. And
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: I believe, truly believe, that she's the one that's been
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: the traffic cop at the White House since the administration
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: began in 2025. So he's going to bring her down.
• 37:24
  Speaker 23: And it's my opinion that this is going to be
• 37:27
  Speaker 23: the Jack McCall, without the violence.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: The Jack McCall of the Trump administration.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: So, and it's of my opinion that there is a
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: reasonable shadow of a doubt. If this guy is righteous,
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: that he was promised some crazy ass stuff by people
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: that they should not have been promising him, which is
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: possible when you're dealing with people who aren't necessarily part
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: of the political machine.
• 38:02
  Speaker 11: In a study, it was found that 33% of 44

  Speaker 7: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 40:05
  Speaker 7: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
• 40:09
  Speaker 7: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes!
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: Yes!
• 40:16
  Speaker 7: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 40:20
  Speaker 7: favorite form of ear candy.
• 40:22
  Speaker 10: Oh, my.
• 40:24
  Speaker 7: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: Shhh.
• 40:29
  Speaker 13: Do you smell that?
• 40:32
  Speaker 7: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is goodwill.
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: And with every item.
• 40:39
  Speaker 7: You buy, you fund local job training and more. So
• 40:44
  Speaker 7: go forth. Bring home those donut earrings and bring home

  Speaker 7: so much good to your community.

  Speaker 7: Bring good home.

  Speaker 22: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 22: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 22: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 22: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 22: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 22: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 22: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 22: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 22: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 22: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.

  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 43:35
  Speaker 24: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking

  Speaker 24: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,

• 44:12
  Speaker 1: This is Independence from Virginia, again, first thing today, by
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:20
  Speaker 22: Now I believe, oh now I believe there comes.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: A time when everything just falls in line, when everything
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: learns from.
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: So I'm going to also qualify this by saying that
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: there is a certain timing factor with this Eric Dieter
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: story that makes me dubious about it. And you have
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: to grasp Saul Alinsky to understand what's been going on
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: for the last two years. I told you the story
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: the other day of A friend of mine was walking
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: across the parking lot with me. We were talking about
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: policy and government because I can't unplug. I can't talk
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: about the weather. People want to talk about Trump or
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: Spanberger or Adam Schiff, you know, Kotech, you name it.
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: They want to talk about it with me. So I'm
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: really never off. So I'm always practicing and I always
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: have to keep up on what's going on. And he said,
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: I just can't defend some of this stuff. And I said, well,
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: what stuff can't you defend? He said, well, the war
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: in Iran. I said, well, what's to defend? They've been
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: killing people forever. He goes, well, did we have to
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: just because Israel told us to? I said, no, that's
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: what NBC News told you. This is what Rachel Maddow
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: told you. Who has, you know, and I said, go
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: down the list of the people who are saying we
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: only bombed Iran because Israel told us to. And beyond that,
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: take the next step in the narrative. Why is our
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: support of Israel wrong? And go back two years to
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: when we were having the pro-Hamas protests with the idiots
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: wearing the t-shirts saying LGBTQI for Hamas. You know what
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: Hamas is going to do to your LGBTQ and I?
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: It's an LGBTQI for an I in Hamas land. Oh,
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: they appreciate the support when it destabilizes the American government. Think,
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: you know, Haight-Ashbury and Woodstock in 1968, 69, and the
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: anti-war movement that was fomented, paid for by the Soviet Union.
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: Then we have the documents after the fall of the
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: communist government there. We found, you know, that we got
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: to tour the KGB headquarters. Oh, look at this.
• 46:58
  Speaker 22: Really?
• 47:00
  Speaker 13: Really?
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: So this whole Eric Dieters thing makes me wonder, was
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: this a guy who gave money to Donald Trump and
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: is PO'd because he didn't get the quid for his
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: pro quo? Or is this a setup where somebody gave
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: a lot of money to Trump, starts hanging out with
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: the Greek ambassador, who obviously at one point was engaged
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: to Don Jr., thinking I've got access to Trump, now
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: I have all the access to Donald Trump I can
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: use to blow up this incendiary device. By telling you
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: I've got all this information that's going to ruin, and
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: all of it is again playing to the narrative of
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: don't show up and vote. Don't vote for the Congress
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: people at the midterms. Don't vote for these people. Vote
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: for Barack Obama's people. Vote for the people Barack Obama
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: wants in office. Because that turned out so well for us. Yeah,
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: he was president for eight years. So is Donald Trump.
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: At the end of the day, they're both going to
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: have been president for eight years. Who has defended America?
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: Who has derided America? Who has promoted America? Who has
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: punished America? who has aggrandized America, who has apologized for America.
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: Because that's who's on the ballot here. I know that
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: President Trump has said, pretend I'm on the ballot. But
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: Barack Obama's on the ballot too. This midterm election is
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: Donald J. Trump versus Barack H. Obama. And it's being
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: battled out with congressional candidates within the tent of both
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: of them. Style points, whatever. But this Eric Dieter story
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: just smells to me like another one of these Alinsky-like
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: setups to make just another percentage or two of Trump's
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: voters not show up and not vote for Congressman insert
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: name here. Because how many times since 2015 has the
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: accusation been the, the, guilty verdict versus a guilty verdict
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: which never has come. Or if there's been a guilty verdict,
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: it's been a procedural one, not, oh, well, he's guilty
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: of doing the thing we accused him of. And the
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: kicker is that this is all about the people Donald
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: Trump's surrounded with. So it's It's a conformational narrative that
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: people are like, well, you know, this is Tucker Carlson.
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't be halfway surprised if you don't tune into
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: the next Tucker Carlson podcast to find Eric Dieters on there.
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: Talking about how Trump abandoned us. Trump is not doing
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: America first. What's Trump doing overseas? He should be doing
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: America first. I'm sorry, I don't buy it. I may
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: be the only one in the media that doesn't buy it.
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: I believe the expression we use here to keep ourselves
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: as good with the FCC as I care to, bovine excrement.
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: Greenhouse gas is what this is. This is a guy
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: who is, in my opinion, here to tear down versus save.
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: He's not out here. And this guy from the drop
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: of the green flag, I mean, we covered the Kimberly
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: Guilfoyle story and okay. So you don't get to be
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: ambassador to Greece anymore. Guess what? You always get to
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: say you were. So I'm not shedding a tear for
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: Kimberly Guilfoyle. But as soon as I heard this guy,
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: I said, this is Jason Kessler all over again. And,
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: you know, he wants you to look up Jack McCall.
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: Without the violence.
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: The Jack McCall of the Trump administration.
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: I want you to Google Jason Kessler. K-E-S-S-L-E-R. I don't
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: like giving him run. And I hope he lives, you know,
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: he's like hanging sheetrock in Ohio somewhere. But ever since
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: this guy came out.
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: Just bring down the entire Trump administration.
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry. You can call me and say, Joe, because
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail or
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: whatever metaphor you want to use. Okay. Make your case. 434-882-4217.
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: As Jason Kessler can attest, I don't screen my phone calls.
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: So call me and you tell me that this guy
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: is not screaming setup designed to drive just another 2
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: or 3% of Trump supporters away from the congressional candidates
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: of the midterms.
• 52:51
  Speaker 13: My name is Bobby. I'm a veteran and lost my
• 52:54
  Speaker 13: leg to a roadside bomb.
• 52:55
  Speaker 18: My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a
• 52:58
  Speaker 18: weightlifting champion.
• 53:00
  Speaker 22: I'm Sam.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: I'm a veteran.
• 53:02
  Speaker 16: My victory was finding a career I can be proud
• 53:04
  Speaker 16: of and supporting my family.

  Speaker 13: I'm a veteran.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: My victory was going from homeless to home.

  Speaker 10: We help more than a million veterans every year as
• 53:38
  Speaker 10: they face and conquer their challenges.
• 53:41
