"Party People" (FTTxJT Thu 092426 hr4) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: This is Independence from Virginia, again, first thing today, by
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Joe works at a steel mill, he's damn near every day.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Leaves for work when the sun comes up, drops a
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: kid to.
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: School and on the way.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Joe has everything he dreamed of, all the treasures that
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: he needs.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: No wonder Joe's always smiling, he only aims to please you.
• 0:32
  Speaker 5: Bless you for letting us be of service to you
• 0:34
  Speaker 5: this morning.
• 0:35
  Speaker 6: 434-882-4217.
• 0:40
  Speaker 5: That is how you jump in with us after, of course,
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: I tell you what went on last night. What are
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: we going to talk about? What do I sound like,
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: a podcaster? React to me. I don't know. You obviously
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: need to know what went on and then have a
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: reaction to it. Like this particular one from Sandy, Sandy
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: listening to us this morning, came out in San Bernardino
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: in the Inland Empire. She says, oh, my God, what
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: am I going to do in 2028? President Trump absolutely
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: positively has to run for a third term if my
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: choices are going to be Marco Rubio, J.D. Vance or
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: Rand Paul. She heard the story that Rand Paul told
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: Newsmax that he's going to run for president or he's
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: thinking about it. It's the too cute by half answer.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: Can you imagine that debate? A friend of mine said
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: the other day, he said, I never am ceased to
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: amazed at how the Republican Party can play present so
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: many unlikable candidates, and the only thing that surprises me
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: more is the Democrats' ability to lose to them. Well,
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: the problem with that, and the guy who told me
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: that is not a Republican, I said, the problem with
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: that is that if the Republicans put up likable, connectable,
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: tangible candidates, they'd win two to one. They wouldn't even
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: be in the same ballgame. as the Democrats. But they
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: put up people who pander to the lowest common denominator,
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: whatever they feel like that is in that particular district.
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: And we have a story I want to get into
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: about how the Republican Party is abandoning Georgia and North Carolina. Gee,
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: I thought they were actually good. Now, they haven't said
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: why they're abandoning them, but the Senate races have apparently
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: lost all of their backing financially from the Republican Party
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: Senate committee. No, no Scott in Virginia Beach. You're confusing
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: Rand Paul with Pat Paulson. Pat Paulson is not running again.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: Rand Paul might be there. Our first things this morning,
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: Chairman Xi of the People's Republic of China arrived in
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: Washington to eat better food and to find out what
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: liberty looks like, at least our version of it. And
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: then after about an hour of sitting down with the president,
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: according to Scott Besant, who was dispatched to tell everyone
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: that they had agreed to extend their trade truce until
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: January 10th, a group of four senators, and I'll tell
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: you their names, you tell me what they have in common,
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn, Lisa Murkowski, and Tom Tillis sent
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: a letter to the administration pressing Secretary of State Marco
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: Rubio and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to do what
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: the Senate has insisted they do with it in reference
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: to Taiwan. They say the State Department has not yet
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: obligated $ 300 million in foreign military financing approved by Congress
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: for Taiwan. while the Defense Department has not obligated another
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: $ 11 billion through the Taiwan Security Cooperation Initiative. Could this
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: have anything to do with Chairman Xi of the People's
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: Republic of China being in town? President Trump has invited,
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: speaking of dignitaries in town, Russian President Vladimir Putin to
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: visit the G20 Summit in Miami. stay for a couple
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: of days or a couple of weeks or four and
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: a half years. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, we
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: think it's an opportunity for him to engage not just
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: with the president, but with other world leaders. Speaking of
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: presidents and other world leaders, Iran's president took to the
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: lectern at the UN and said, they're the victims of terrorism.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: We're not terrorists, he told the crowd. Trump administration putting
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: new emphasis on voter fraud. Justice Department has designated the
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: effort a top priority. The initiative is a one-tier priority,
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: Justice Department officials told reporters on Tuesday. Senate Judiciary Committee
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa is making a push to
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: pass legislation protecting artificial intelligence whistleblowers before senators leave Washington
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: for the campaign season. Grassley privately checked with senators to
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: see if he had unanimous support to bring the vote
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: to the floor. And those are some of our first
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: things on this Thursday morning.
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: Hi, this is Bud Foster, co-host of Foster and Friends
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: and former Virginia Tech football coach. When I brought the
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: famed lunch pail to our team, it symbolized teamwork. The
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: word win stood for what's important now. The Lunch Pail
• 6:20

  Speaker 8: For veterans concerned about their alcohol or drug use, seeking
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: help can be the first step toward recovery.

  Speaker 5: Dr.

  Speaker 8: Joseph Liberto, National Mental Health Director for Substance Use Disorders

  Speaker 9: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 9: I'm Dr.
• 8:13
  Speaker 10: Mitch.
• 8:14
  Speaker 9: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 8:20
  Speaker 9: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 8:24
  Speaker 9: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 8:28
  Speaker 9: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 8:32
  Speaker 9: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 8:39
  Speaker 9: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 8:43
  Speaker 9: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances,
• 8:47
  Speaker 9: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells, even
• 8:52
  Speaker 9: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
• 8:57
  Speaker 9: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
• 9:02
  Speaker 11: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 11: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 11: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you

  Speaker 11: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:17
  Speaker 11: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls

  Speaker 11: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your

• 9:42
  Speaker 11: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law

  Speaker 11: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 10: I'm Jack Hanna.
• 10:00
  Speaker 12: Since I was a boy growing up on a farm
• 10:01
  Speaker 12: in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only
• 10:05
  Speaker 12: in awe of their beauty and kindness, but also their
• 10:07
  Speaker 12: tireless work ethic.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: Just look at the.
• 10:08
  Speaker 12: Birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 12: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
• 10:15
  Speaker 12: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
• 10:18
  Speaker 12: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
• 10:21
  Speaker 12: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 10:23
  Speaker 12: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
• 10:26
  Speaker 12: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
• 10:30
  Speaker 12: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving
• 10:33
  Speaker 12: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
• 10:36
  Speaker 12: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
• 10:39
  Speaker 12: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
• 10:42
  Speaker 12: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
• 10:44
  Speaker 12: trained roles that contribute to society.
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: And help those in need.
• 10:48
  Speaker 12: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 10:50

  Speaker 13: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 14: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 15: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: Heart and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 16: Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 12: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 8: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 17: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:29
  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
• 11:42
  Speaker 18: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 18: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.

• 11:54
  Speaker 18: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:58
  Speaker 18: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:00

• 12:32
  Speaker 2: first to notice when a veteran you love has been

• 13:11
  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the talk media network.
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: this morning.
• 13:19
  Speaker 19: Excuse me.
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, whatever we call them these days.
• 13:29
  Speaker 19: Oh, you're talking about Instagram.
• 13:33
  Speaker 17: Instagram.
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: It's the outside where OnlyFans weighs in there. 434-882-4217. That
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: is how we get into the news of the day.
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: A story that didn't get a lot of run because
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: it makes people twitchy. Because this happens every year. Earlier,
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: earlier and earlier every year, who had September 24th in
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: the pool as the moment that The GOP stops sending
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: money into your local campaigns. Is it questionable? There are
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: cities that are just... I mean, there's New York and
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: Los Angeles and Chicago. They're in a classification all of themselves.
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: But there are cities that are... If you hear the word,
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: if you hear their name, you immediately think left-wing insanity. Portland, Oregon.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: Why even... Saturday Night Live alumni made fun of Portland's Portlandia. Seattle,
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: where even Starbucks said, we've had enough of this. We're
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: moving to Nashville. San Francisco. And to a great degree, Charlottesville, Virginia.
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: You hear Charlottesville, you think of riots, you think of
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: dead Marxists, protesters. Nobody ever talks about, well, present company
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: excluded of the two state troopers that died that August Sunday, Saturday.
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: But there was a time in 2012 where one of
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: the biggest presidential rallies not attended by Donald J. Trump,
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: was held. It was the day after the first presidential
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: debate between Barack H. Obama and Mitt Romney. You guys
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: listening to us in Salt Lake, you've heard of Mitt Romney, right?
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: So Mitt was everything. And when people ask me why
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: some Republicans don't like Donald Trump, it's what they did
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: to Mitt Romney. So as the Trump era continues, I
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: hear more and more people saying, well, I like what
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: he's saying. I just don't like how he's saying it. Well,
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: then you should have voted for Mitt Romney in 2012.
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: You should have done more for Mitt Romney in 2012.
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: Because the first presidential debate between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama,
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: Mitt Romney came out and was Donald Trump without the
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: New Yorker-isms. He was a cleaner, more polished, but he
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: hit Barack Obama in the ribs constantly over policy. body
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: blow after body blow after body blow. Barack Obama didn't
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: know what happened. Valerie Jarrett must have called the news
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: networks or somebody called somebody because by the next debate,
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: Mitt Romney was like, I'm really sorry I said mean
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: things to you, Mr.
• 17:13
  Speaker 10: Barack.
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: Please allow me to keep my huevos as I leave.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: But after that first debate, The Tea Party had already started.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: This is 2012. We were in the middle of the
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: Tea Party insurgency. We had already had the Tea Party
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: midterms of 2010, and now it's the presidency of the
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: Tea Party movement. And Mitt Romney came to technically Waynesboro, Virginia,
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: but it's the Charlottesville metropolitan area to a degree. It's
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: only a half hour outside of Charlottesville. And there was
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: a line of cars down the interstate for miles to
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: get off to go to this fairground to see Mitt Romney.
• 18:03
  Speaker 10: And then.
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: The GOP got a hold of him. Don't say mean
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: stuff about the magic president. He's storybook, man. Don't tell
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: us what's really going on on the other side of
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: the storybook pages. We like Obamacare because we have friends
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: in the insurance industry and they like Obamacare. So shut
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: up about Obamacare. And they made Mitt Romney capitulate. And
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: since then, it's been, you know, a never-ending drum cycle of, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: we're all for you. We're all for you. We got
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: no money for you. Winsome Sears more recently. the fellow
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: Jack in New Jersey. I think Bruce Blakeman's going to
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: face the same issue in New York, even though polls
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: are now starting to indicate that he's, despite the fact
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: that half of New Yorkers don't know who he is,
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: he's within the margin of error of Kathy Hochul. But
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: here's the story. Senate GOP campaign committee has moved its
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: money out of Georgia and North Carolina. Senator Tim Scott
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: of South Carolina, chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee,
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: told the other members in a closed-door meeting Wednesday that
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: the group will focus its spending on defending GOP seats
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: in Maine, Alaska, that is, Mrs. Murkowski and Collins, Ohio. Iowa,
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: and Texas, while targeting Senate seats in Michigan, that's good,
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: go after Syed, and New Hampshire. Their menu of races
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: Michael Watley and Roy Cooper, apparently former Republican National Committee
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: Chair Watley is not very popular with them, and they've
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: decided that Roy Cooper is going to win, so they've
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: pulled their money out. In Georgia, it's Mike Collins challenging
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: John Ossoff. and they've decided they don't like him either. Now,
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: what do those two guys, Michael Watley and Mike Collins,
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: have in common? Oh, that's right. Donald Trump endorsed them. Polls,
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: including the Cook Political Report, keep saying they're behind, and
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: that could play a role in it. I'm not saying
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: it's all personal. Even President Trump asks before he endorses,
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: can they win? I'm not going to endorse them unless
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: they can win. So we're going to turn North Carolina
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: along with Virginia where General Missisawa is getting nothing. Mark
• 21:37

  Speaker 9: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 22:07
  Speaker 9: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 22:12
  Speaker 9: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 22:17
  Speaker 9: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 22:21
  Speaker 9: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 22:27
  Speaker 9: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 22:31
  Speaker 9: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 22:35
  Speaker 9: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 22:38
  Speaker 9: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in

  Speaker 9: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 9: I'm Dr.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Mitch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 9: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:19
  Speaker 9: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:24
  Speaker 9: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 24:28
  Speaker 9: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 24:32
  Speaker 9: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 24:39
  Speaker 9: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 24:43
  Speaker 9: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
• 24:46
  Speaker 9: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even

  Speaker 13: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 25:56
  Speaker 20: Oh, yeah?
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 25:59
  Speaker 21: And now a speech.
• 26:02
  Speaker 15: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 26:06
  Speaker 15: Heart and brain.
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: Who's with me?
• 26:08
  Speaker 12: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: somebody call me a ride.
• 26:15
  Speaker 8: Love that guy.
• 26:16
  Speaker 15: Me too.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 26:23
  Speaker 18: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 26:26
  Speaker 18: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 26:30
  Speaker 18: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 18: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:37
  Speaker 18: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 26:40
  Speaker 18: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 26:46
  Speaker 18: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors.
• 26:49
  Speaker 18: Check ducts for holes and improve your insulation. Another time
• 26:53
  Speaker 18: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 26:55
  Speaker 18: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 26:59
  Speaker 18: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 27:02
  Speaker 18: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 27:05
  Speaker 18: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 27:09
  Speaker 18: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: Party people! Power of the party. Partisanship. You know, it's interesting.
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: I got this text message. Jerry writes in. Weren't you
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: the guy that was just on Newsmax torching El-Sayed for
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: discussing getting money out of politics?
• 28:42
  Speaker 10: Sure.
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: Sure. Because I just don't see how you do that
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: in the U.S. Constitution. However, we can try to do
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: something about the power of the party. And this is
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: why I go back to the 1929 Act. It emasculates
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: the party. I think the power of the offices is disproportionate,
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: and that also leads to the corruption of party. This
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: is why these parties are, you know, because they want
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: you beholden to them rather than your constituents, right? Your
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: constituents are busy, and only 40% of them are going
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: to vote anyway, so you really just need to get
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: that 25% that'll get you across the finish line. Matt
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: is on the line at 434-882-4217. How are you doing,
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: young fella? Oh, not too badly.
• 29:36
  Speaker 10: I was listening to your discussion of the Republicans pulling
• 29:41
  Speaker 10: out of some of these races, and I'm reminded, as
• 29:46
  Speaker 10: we have discussed in the past, M. Stanton Evans' observation
• 29:51
  Speaker 10: that that there are two parties, the evil party and
• 29:55
  Speaker 10: the stupid party.
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: The Republicans pull out of.
• 30:01
  Speaker 10: These races because they don't want to be in charge.
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: That would cause them problems.
• 30:10
  Speaker 10: Yeah, if they were in charge, if they actually won
• 30:14
  Speaker 10: a majority or something like that, then they may actually
• 30:17
  Speaker 10: be pressed into doing something.
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: Paul Ryan is on the phone saying, I can attest
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: to that.
• 30:26
  Speaker 10: But with so much of this, I heard.
• 30:34
  Speaker 10: Tim Kaine on the radio earlier this morning talking about
• 30:39
  Speaker 10: how he wants to save children and that sort of thing.
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: Yes, yes. With Lisa Murkowski, too.
• 30:47
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 30:48
  Speaker 10: And it's the sort of thing that, you know, with
• 30:50
  Speaker 10: this Lindsay Clancy woman, I guess if she killed all
• 30:54
  Speaker 10: three of her kids before they were born, there wouldn't
• 30:57
  Speaker 10: be a legal issue here at all.
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: No, no.
• 31:00
  Speaker 10: But the other thing that strikes me is that I
• 31:03
  Speaker 10: saw an ad the other day from Mark Warner, who
• 31:08
  Speaker 10: is demagoguing these data centers. And I'm thinking, wait a minute,
• 31:13
  Speaker 10: Mark Warner made his money in telecom.
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: Yep. Inconvenient to me. It's so long ago. He may
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: have forgotten.
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 31:22
  Speaker 10: Well, I think he forgets a lot.
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: I think he's still heavily invested in telecom too, which makes,
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: The data center thing even more, perhaps even corruptibly investigatable. Yeah.
• 31:37
  Speaker 10: Well, years ago, Warren Buffett came out against pipelines for
• 31:47
  Speaker 10: oil because it wasn't ecologically sustainable. Oh, we're going to
• 31:52
  Speaker 10: frack oil up in Canada. We're going to move it
• 31:55
  Speaker 10: from pipelines. And this is terrible. Well, what it came
• 31:59
  Speaker 10: down to is that Warren Buffett was heavily involved in
• 32:03
  Speaker 10: railroads financially.
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: I wondered if you were going there.
• 32:07
  Speaker 10: That's how a lot of oil gets transported is on
• 32:13
  Speaker 10: Warren Buffett's train. So, of course, he's going to be
• 32:17
  Speaker 10: opposed to pipelines.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: How does he make all this money? The old-fashioned way.
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: He gets the government to direct it to him.
• 32:25
  Speaker 10: Yeah, well, there used to be a wonderful parody commercial
• 32:29
  Speaker 10: with John Hausman where he would come out and said,
• 32:34
  Speaker 10: we make money the old-fashioned way.
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: We steal it. That's right. But this is the thing.
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: So I forget the guy's name, the guy who runs
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: the AI company Anthropic. It's like Diego Emoji or something
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: like that. And he came out and really did a
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: master's class in that old Saturday Night Live Monty Python
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: crossover bit, Miles Copperthwaite, where they're all at sea. And
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: Dan Aykroyd is the first officer. And rather than punishing
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: Miles Copperthwaite, who I think was Michael Palin, he said, no, Captain,
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: punish me. I deserve to be punished. And then everyone
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: lines up behind him. No, no, I deserve to be
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: punished more. So this Diego emoji comes out and says, yeah,
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: the government better crack down on us AI people because
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: Lord knows what we could do next if there was
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: more than, say, the two or three of us that exist.
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: And I compared him to Ken Lay with Enron. And
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: I had some friends who were in the debunking of
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: the green agenda. And they said that is exactly what
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: Ken Lay did, was he got with the government, he
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: got George W. Bush and all these folks involved. to
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: make sure there were guidelines and regulations and all these
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: things so that his company was the only one that
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: could comply with those rules and regulations, then the same
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: thing's going to happen with Anthropic and Gemini and these
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: big AI companies. And funny enough, we were just talking
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: yesterday about how the AI movement has replaced the climate
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: change movement as the great crisis that we're all going
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: to be facing, Matt. It's the same dog and pony show.
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: Be afraid. Give the government more power. Be more afraid.
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: Give the government more power. Wash, rinse, repeat.
• 34:33
  Speaker 10: Well, and I mean, with so much of this, it's, oh,
• 34:38
  Speaker 10: you've got to come out and regulate my industry before
• 34:41
  Speaker 10: something bad happens. Yeah.
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: Somebody else comes along and takes my market share.
• 34:46
  Speaker 10: Exactly. Exactly.
• 34:47
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 34:48
  Speaker 10: There's something bad that could happen if somebody could come
• 34:51
  Speaker 10: up with a better way of doing something.
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 34:54
  Speaker 10: And all of a sudden, I'm out of business because
• 34:57
  Speaker 10: somebody beat me in a capitalist way.
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: Joel corrected me and gave me the actual name of
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: the head of Anthropic. Joel, you missed the point. I
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: satirized because it will hurt his soft, tender rumpus if
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: I don't say his name correctly because, honestly— the amount
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: I don't care about Dario Emojai. I would rather call
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: him Eugenio Emojai than anything else, Matt. But good stuff,
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: my friend. I appreciate it.
• 35:28
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: You take care, Joe. Remember, the ones who want the
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: regulations the most are the ones who will benefit the
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: most from the regulations. Good morning, Joel.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: And I apologize. You misunderstood the fact that I actually
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: really cared what the head of Anthropics name was. I
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: prefer calling him, you know, Dario Emoji than giving him
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: his real name because he is he's just like that,
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: you know, and you choose the emoji. I mean, he
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: could be the little was it supposed to be chocolate
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: ice cream with the flies flying around it? Yeah. Anyway,
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: what's on your mind, sir?
• 36:04
  Speaker 22: That sounds like Joe Biden's chocolate chip. I mean, his
• 36:08
  Speaker 22: vanilla chip ice cream.
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: It's actually what Adam Schiff's staff uses when they're referring
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: to him. Anyway, what's on your mind? Quickly.
• 36:20
  Speaker 22: Well, I just think the bigger picture and everything in
• 36:23
  Speaker 22: conversation today are two things. One, get the SAVE Act passed. Two, no,
• 36:31
  Speaker 22: I mean, and get rid of the filibuster.
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: I don't want to get rid of the filibuster. I
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: want to make the filibuster a filibuster again. I don't
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: have a problem with the filibuster. I have a problem
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: with this zombie filibuster where all the minority leader has
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: to say, I call filibuster, and then goes back to
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: sleep in his office. Come on, do something for it.
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: Sing for your supper. Get out there and speechify for
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: As long as you can. Because, you know, when it
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: wasn't the zombie filibuster, if you couldn't keep talking, you lose.
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: And so I want to see these people put their
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: rubber where their road is. So I don't want to
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: do that. But definitely, there's a great piece, by the way, Joel,
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: aside from the one that I wrote, a really awesome guy,
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: Tyler O'Neill, has a great piece on the amalgamation of left-wing...
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: thought groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center that they've caught,
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: and they have documentation working in collusion to undo the
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: SAVE Act, both in all the Democrat offices and even
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: some of the Republican offices. Go get it, dailysignal.com. Look
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: up Tyler O'Neill, and it should be right on the
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: front page regarding these data centers. But I've got to
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: run to break, sir. You have a great morning.
• 37:55
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 37:55
  Speaker 10: Thanks, Jeff.
• 37:56
  Speaker 16: You too.
• 38:01
  Speaker 19: At Hot Shot Secret, we share the science behind common
• 38:04
  Speaker 19: diesel problems and their solutions.
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: For example, diesel fuel cetane levels.
• 38:08
  Speaker 19: In many states, the cetane rating in diesel fuel is
• 38:11
  Speaker 19: 42 to 45. Most diesel engines operate more efficiently with
• 38:15
  Speaker 19: a cetane rating of 48 to 50. One treatment of
• 38:18
  Speaker 19: Hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your cetane seven points,
• 38:21
  Speaker 19: increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts. Due to a
• 38:25
  Speaker 19: cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons and particulate matter in
• 38:28
  Speaker 19: your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of your diesel particulate filter.
• 38:32
  Speaker 19: Using Diesel Extreme generates 83% less DPF regenerations. The 6-in-1
• 38:38
  Speaker 19: Diesel Extreme formula also includes the most concentrated detergent on
• 38:42
  Speaker 19: the market, lubricity enhancer, water demulsifier, rust and corrosion inhibitors,
• 38:47
  Speaker 19: and a fuel stabilizer.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme is available nationwide at truck stops,
• 38:52

  Speaker 15: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 40:05
  Speaker 15: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
• 40:09
  Speaker 15: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes!
• 40:15
  Speaker 13: Yes!
• 40:16
  Speaker 15: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 40:20
  Speaker 15: favorite form of ear candy.
• 40:23
  Speaker 10: Oh, my.
• 40:24
  Speaker 15: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 40:28
  Speaker 21: Shh.
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: Do you smell that?
• 40:32
  Speaker 15: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is Goodwill.
• 40:38

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

  Speaker 5: Here is the sound of thousands of sounds.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: That's me.
• 44:18
  Speaker 7: That's you.
• 44:39
  Speaker 5: That's what we do each morning, hustling it, shoveling it,
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: whatever you want to call it, 434-882-4217, but call it.
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: You want to talk about a race to a bottom?
• 44:49
  Speaker 5: So this story was shared with me by Rob Louie
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: over at DailySignal.com as well. It's like I work there
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: or something. NBC poll, Republicans more popular than Democrats.
• 45:07
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 45:07
  Speaker 5: 36% of the poll respondents said they viewed the Republican
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: Party favorably, and only 29% viewed the Democratic Party favorably.
• 45:19
  Speaker 5: And the danger, this is where the Democratic Socialists move in,
• 45:26
  Speaker 5: because they come in like Zorhan Mamdani. and says, yeah,
• 45:30
  Speaker 5: the Democrats suck. They haven't done anything for you. I'm
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: going to take all the rich guy's stuff, throw them
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: all in jail, and give you free groceries. Because, you know,
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: that's work for Vladimir Lenin. Good morning. You're on the
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: air with Joe. Who's this first thing this morning? Hey, Joe,
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: it's Clark. Good morning, Clark. What's going on, my friend?
• 45:50
  Speaker 10: Well, let's see.
• 45:51
  Speaker 23: Our whole lives, what have we been told sets prices?
• 45:57
  Speaker 23: What determines the value of something or the cost of something?
• 46:01
  Speaker 5: What have they told us? We're told it's the marketplace, capitalism.
• 46:06
  Speaker 23: Supply and demand, right?
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, marketplace, yeah. Supply and demand, yeah.
• 46:13
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 46:13
  Speaker 23: Now, you've seen what Scott Besant said about it wouldn't
• 46:18
  Speaker 23: do any good to stop or have a diesel ban
• 46:20
  Speaker 23: on the export because we don't have anywhere to store
• 46:24
  Speaker 23: it and the prices just go up, et cetera, et cetera. Now,
• 46:29
  Speaker 23: our cost of fuel right now is not about supply
• 46:33
  Speaker 23: and demand. It's control of the commodities training or trading.
• 46:39
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 46:40
  Speaker 23: And, you know, we're paying artificially high prices for fuel.
• 46:46
  Speaker 23: For what reason, Joe? Why is that being done?
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: Well, because the oil companies are freddy scared that they
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: are going to need a reserve. So so. If you
• 46:56
  Speaker 5: believe their story, be fair to them, because they don't
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: know what's going to happen with the Strait of Hormuz.
• 47:03
  Speaker 5: Commodities exchanges hate uncertainty. So, you know, is gas really
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: cost $ 4 a gallon? No, it doesn't cost anywhere close
• 47:14
  Speaker 5: to it. They're building a war chest in case it
• 47:17
  Speaker 5: becomes complete. You know, we go into 1976 mode and
• 47:21
  Speaker 5: they shut everything down. sell it to?
• 47:24
  Speaker 23: What's Russia selling gasoline for? What are they selling diesel for?
• 47:29
  Speaker 23: They're selling it for production costs plus a profit. And
• 47:35
  Speaker 23: that's not what we're paying. We're paying way, way higher
• 47:39
  Speaker 23: than that. And it's not being done because they're worried
• 47:42
  Speaker 23: about any kind of supply. They know they've got plenty
• 47:43
  Speaker 23: of supply. It's being done to affect the outcomes of
• 47:46
  Speaker 23: our midterms.
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: So you think ExxonMobil and these guys....
• 47:52
  Speaker 23: That the reason you are paying twice as much at
• 47:56
  Speaker 23: the pump is so somebody wants a different outcome in
• 47:59
  Speaker 23: the midterms, it ought to pee you off.
• 48:01
  Speaker 5: A little bit. Oh, I see what you're saying. So
• 48:04
  Speaker 5: you should take the opposite tack, is if you're mad
• 48:07
  Speaker 5: at the price of gas, be mad at the people
• 48:09
  Speaker 5: that want Democrats to win.
• 48:12
  Speaker 23: Yes, I'd be mad at the London banking system, the
• 48:16
  Speaker 23: commodities traders that think that they ought to perpetually control
• 48:20
  Speaker 23: our planet. The hell with those people. You know, Yogi
• 48:24
  Speaker 23: Berra said that predictions are hard, especially when they're about
• 48:28
  Speaker 23: the future. I'm going to make one here, Joe. Come
• 48:32
  Speaker 23: November 12th, you're going to see fuel prices start to drop.
• 48:36
  Speaker 5: President Trump said, actually, it could happen within the next
• 48:39
  Speaker 5: 10 days. I saw something about that last night. But
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: here's the thing. And this is, you know, whoever is
• 48:47
  Speaker 5: consulting right now, the midterms, and I've said this since
• 48:52
  Speaker 5: the beginning, is that I get what we're doing in Iran.
• 48:56
  Speaker 5: I understand why we're doing it in Iran, but I'm
• 49:00
  Speaker 5: not everybody. And especially when everybody is watching some other
• 49:05
  Speaker 5: network or not listening to this program through their own peril,
• 49:10
  Speaker 5: the president needs to, and I still think he can,
• 49:14
  Speaker 5: do a little bit more of an FDR style, here's
• 49:17
  Speaker 5: what's going on in Iran and here's why we're doing it. Um,
• 49:21
  Speaker 5: because the midterms he's going to lose the midterms. And I,
• 49:26
  Speaker 5: I honestly don't think Donald Trump cares.
• 49:28
  Speaker 23: I don't, you know, I question whether you and I are,
• 49:33
  Speaker 23: we are hypervigilant and we pay attention, but, uh, I
• 49:38
  Speaker 23: don't think everybody has bought into the communist news network
• 49:43
  Speaker 23: and political and menstrual syndrome. Now's narrative that Trump has
• 49:49
  Speaker 23: messed up the economy and that's the reason we're paying
• 49:51
  Speaker 23: more for fuel. And if he hadn't done this war
• 49:53
  Speaker 23: with Iran, we'd have 50 cents a gallon gasoline.
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: I hope you're right.
• 49:57
  Speaker 23: I don't think people are buying that.
• 49:59
  Speaker 5: I hope you're right because gasoline was $ 5 a gallon
• 50:04
  Speaker 5: during Biden and we weren't fighting anywhere.
• 50:07
  Speaker 18: Nope.
• 50:08
  Speaker 23: And it was hunky-dory fun.
• 50:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, this was just the nature of the business. And
• 50:12
  Speaker 5: the inflation bit, see, here's the thing that we have
• 50:15
  Speaker 5: to be looking at is, and the China deal that Besson,
• 50:19
  Speaker 5: I thought when you mentioned Besson, you were going to
• 50:21
  Speaker 5: talk about the extension of our trade, our open trade
• 50:26
  Speaker 5: with China. This is about bringing the value of our
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: dollar back up. It has to be because that's where
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: our inflation is coming from. It's not coming from the
• 50:38
  Speaker 5: Strait of Hormuz. It's not coming from all these places.
• 50:42
  Speaker 5: The cost of groceries is going up because the cost
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: of groceries can go up. And reward the people who
• 50:51
  Speaker 5: are discounting your groceries because you'll get more people discounting
• 50:55
  Speaker 5: your groceries if you reward them with your business. But
• 50:58
  Speaker 5: the secret we have to remember is a couple of
• 51:02
  Speaker 5: things that The gas prices will not come down if
• 51:08
  Speaker 5: the Republicans lose the midterms. That's a guarantee. Is there
• 51:13
  Speaker 5: a chance they come down if the Republicans maintain control
• 51:17
  Speaker 5: of the House and Senate in the midterms?
• 51:19
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 51:21
  Speaker 5: And so you're banking on— and Virginia, I mean, we're a
• 51:25
  Speaker 5: week into early voting— you' re banking on getting the message out
• 51:29
  Speaker 5: there that if Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries get control
• 51:34
  Speaker 5: of Congress— That's the last time you ever see $ 2 gasoline, ever.
• 51:40
  Speaker 5: And you'll be lucky if you get to see gasoline.
• 51:43
  Speaker 5: Who do they work for? They work for the green
• 51:45
  Speaker 5: energy movement, who is, we just told you yesterday, that
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: they are in desperate shakes because everyone has left, everyone
• 51:54
  Speaker 5: has abandoned the green agenda for AI, the next crisis,
• 52:00
  Speaker 5: the cool kids crisis. COVID 2.0. Right. So the green
• 52:08
  Speaker 5: people want Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer to keep gas
• 52:12
  Speaker 5: prices so that they can sell more, you know, inflammable
• 52:17
  Speaker 5: batteries and unusable solar panels and profit from that in
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: the same way Ken Lay did. Like I was talking
• 52:26
  Speaker 5: with Matt earlier, you know, Dario Emoji is no different
• 52:30
  Speaker 5: than Ken Lay. He just wants regulations to make his
• 52:32
  Speaker 5: business more profitable. But I think we need to remember
• 52:36
  Speaker 5: that if the Republicans keep the majority, there's a chance
• 52:40
  Speaker 5: gas goes down. If the Democrats win, there's no chance.
• 52:45
  Speaker 5: I got to run, Dr.
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: Clark.
