• 2:48
  Speaker 3: and arrows from people because I have been dubious about

• 2:57
  Speaker 3: he's selling OxyClean. or Krugerrands on the internet that is
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: the accuser of Kimberly Guilfoyle. We'll get into all of that.

  Speaker 3: he says, knowing that they are in a particular order. There,
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: President Trump, in relation to this story of Eric Dieter,
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: is claiming that he has going to bring down White
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. President Trump was asked
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: about it yesterday, and he said he had no inclination
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: of doing that. Meanwhile, authorities continue to investigate horrific violence
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: at an elementary school in Bend, Oregon, where three children,
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: aged 5, 8, and 11, and a teacher were killed,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: and the assailant was killed by a civilian who upon
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: hearing the ruckus, went in with their legally owned firearm
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: and ended the exchange. Federal authorities are investigating letters that
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: say on the label this could be potentially hazardous, getting
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: mailed to congressional offices as well as election headquarters across
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: the country. FBI, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and the Capitol
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Police are investigating. Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke on
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: the phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on what
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: comes next regarding the United States and Iran. Israeli officials
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: are calling the attack or the possibility of increased attacks
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: a realistic scenario. President Trump told Newsmax TV yesterday in
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: a sit-down that he's considering using MOAB, which is an
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: acronym for Mother of All Bombs. a bomb that he
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: used against the Taliban in his first term. Pope Leo
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: XIV's post-operative recovery continues to go ahead, if not on schedule,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: according to Dr. Luigi Carboni, the Pope's personal doctor. The
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: chest x-ray revealed good recovery of the operated lung, he reported.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: The administration has sued California election officials asking a judge
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: to stop the state from counting mail-in ballots until the
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: list of people who were sent mail-in ballots are compared
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: against a list of likely non-citizens. President Trump also announced
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: yesterday that the proposed live stream of the execution of
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Nidal Malik Hassan will not take place. The execution will,
• 5:44

• 6:52
  Speaker 3: about it. I know I get inundated with ads, people

  Speaker 3: telling me you must buy gold. It's almost like this
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Eric Dieter's guy, but I want advice from a family.
• 7:01

  Speaker 11: family up to $ 500 a month, and that's huge, but
• 7:16
  Speaker 11: it's also true. People are just happier with it. They
• 7:18
  Speaker 11: love being part of something that reflects and promotes their
• 7:21
  Speaker 11: values and what they believe in.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: MediShare works, too.
• 7:24
  Speaker 11: It's been around for 30 years now, and members have
• 7:27
  Speaker 11: shared more than $ 7 billion of each other's bills. People
• 7:31
  Speaker 11: love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network, so
• 7:34
  Speaker 11: MediShare Yeah, really, you can save a ton and like
• 7:37
  Speaker 11: it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
• 7:39
  Speaker 11: of your health care, whether you're self-employed or part of

• 8:03
  Speaker 14: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 8:08
  Speaker 14: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 8:13
  Speaker 14: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 8:18
  Speaker 14: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 8:23
  Speaker 14: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 8:28
  Speaker 14: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 8:32
  Speaker 14: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 8:36
  Speaker 14: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 8:39
  Speaker 14: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 8:42
  Speaker 14: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,
• 8:47
  Speaker 14: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

  Speaker 16: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 9:37
  Speaker 16: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 9:41
  Speaker 16: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 9:44
  Speaker 16: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 9:49
  Speaker 16: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 9:53
  Speaker 16: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 9:56
  Speaker 16: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
• 9:59
  Speaker 16: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.

• 10:14
  Speaker 16: with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
• 10:17

• 10:20

• 11:05
  Speaker 9: you recognize them? By their clothes?
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Their age?
• 11:09
  Speaker 18: The way they speak?
• 11:11
  Speaker 9: Would you notice a 16-year-old boy who got.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: His first job?
• 11:14
  Speaker 8: Not for extra spending money, but to help feed his
• 11:17
  Speaker 8: little sisters.

  Speaker 9: Or a mother who's in between jobs and sometimes goes

• 12:55
  Speaker 8: Radio. It's on.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: It's on. First thing today by Joe Thomas on the talk.
• 13:14
  Speaker 10: I was thinking of Charlotte.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: So London is out there saying, And I love these
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: stories because, you know, a minister, one of Britain's, their
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: version of Pete Hegseth, is out there saying NATO needs
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: to do more to keep Russia in line. We need
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: to arm up so that we can be ready against
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: Russia's invasion of, you know, it seemed like he was
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: talking about the possibility of Russia invading NATO. And at
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: some point this stuff, and I get it, nobody wants
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: to be invaded or anything, but at some point grown-ups
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: have to come into the room and say, stop politicking
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: all the time, please. Can we just, we're weary of it.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: I see it. I fight this every day. Do you
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: know that every single day, every single story, part of
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: my process, if you'll get Nick Saban-esque on it, Part
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: of my process is how are you being politicked by
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: these stories? Because the only way I'm going to garner
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: large audiences is if I'm not out here trying to
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: be a commercial, trying to sell you, you know, tune
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: into my web feed and I'll play you a phone
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: call that's supposedly going to bring down Susie Wiles. I
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: don't do that. Maybe I should. Maybe I'd make more money.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Tucker Carlson has more money than me. I don't know
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: how well he sleeps at night, what kind of nightmares
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: he has, but he certainly has more cash in the
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: bank than I do. But I'm not selling you anything.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: I'm really not. I'd like you to go and visit
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: some of our sponsors. That'd be nice, but only when
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: you need something. I'm not telling you to go buy
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: gold from jcsgold.com unless you are ready for it. And
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: this is one of the reasons I like the family
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: there that can give you advice without you feeling like, oh,
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: they're trying to make a quota. Because I've seen the ratings.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: I've seen the ratings of these news programs, and I've
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: watched them all crater. And they crater because they've become commercials.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: And I'm not talking the traditional like, hey, buy some
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: Budweiser today commercials. It's that constant, I need you to
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: believe what I'm telling you. I need you to agree
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: with what I'm telling you. I expect you not to
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: agree with what I'm telling you. We can discuss it.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: I hope that you see sense in what it is.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: But if you don't, that's cool. That's cool. I can wait.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: And find out as time wears out, who's right, who's wrong.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: I've made the case for years. I'd, I'd love to
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: fancifully think of what talk radio would have sounded like
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: during the revolutionary war, the war to free our country
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: from the occupying force of the British army. I mean,
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: you listen to some of these folks like Tucker Carlson
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: going on. Can you imagine Tucker Carlson as Nathaniel green
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: is getting quote, routed down the James River of Virginia.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Every day, we're like, we need new leadership. We can't
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: have more wars. These are our cousins. We shouldn't be
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: fighting with these people. These are our cousins. They built it.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: They built all this infrastructure, and we're being ungrateful. And
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: Nathaniel Green is losing. And, oh, hold it. The French
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: were waiting for everybody when they got to Yorktown? Oh, well,
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: isn't that great? We won. You know, it's just, come on, folks.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: I'm not trying to sell you anything. I just want
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: to give you the perspective so that you can get
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: the day started. Your day is going to happen, you know,
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: come 9 o'clock Eastern. I've got other things to do.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: I have to go get an AM radio station turned
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: back on. So, you know, your day is going to
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: commence just like mine is, so I want to give
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: you some perspective so that you sit there once the
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: narrative junkies start pouring it on you. You know, pro-Trump, anti-Trump, pro-Hamas, anti-Hamas,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: you know, all of this. You must agree. You think
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: about it. Just think about it. That's all I care about.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: We were joking about this. There used to be a
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: haberdashery chain whose slogan was an educated consumer is our
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: best customer. And I truly believe that about this program,
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: and I believe the folks at the Luck family feel
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: that way about jcsgold.com, but I don't want to speak
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: for them. James Luck is here, and he can speak
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: for himself, I think. Last time I checked. Good morning, James.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: How are you doing this Friday morning?
• 18:24
  Speaker 22: I'm doing well, Joe. And gold and silver are in
• 18:26
  Speaker 22: the green so far this morning. Bouncing off of that
• 18:30
  Speaker 22: support they found a couple days ago, gold is up
• 18:33
  Speaker 22: about a third of a percent, up $ 13, $ 4, 183. Silver
• 18:35
  Speaker 22: is up over half a percent to $ 57.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: 78.
• 18:36
  Speaker 22: It's still a great spot to get in. I mean,
• 18:37
  Speaker 22: I was thinking back a year ago, we were talking
• 18:39
  Speaker 22: about silver over $ 100 an ounce. So, I mean, you
• 18:41
  Speaker 22: have an opportunity to get in.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Now before it climbs back up there, don't you?
• 18:58
  Speaker 22: That's exactly right. The prospects for silver haven't changed since
• 19:03
  Speaker 22: that over $ 100 price action that we saw back there
• 19:08
  Speaker 22: in January. Silver is still being used industrially in solar panels,
• 19:15
  Speaker 22: electric cars, data centers. All of this still needs silver.
• 19:20
  Speaker 22: And like we said yesterday, there's an above-ground shortage on silver.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: And the 20-year-olds, maybe that's the thing that our community
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: colleges should be teaching kids, silver mining.
• 19:36
  Speaker 22: Exactly. There's definitely a need for it. There is more
• 19:39
  Speaker 22: silver consumed than mined every single year. And it's been
• 19:42
  Speaker 22: like that for a while now, which really helps drive
• 19:45
  Speaker 22: that price.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but mining Bitcoin is so much easier. I just
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: have to get my server and plug it into the internet.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: You know, you want to talk about a data center killer.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: I was looking at the electric bills for some of
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: these people that do Bitcoin mining. I mean, holy cow,
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: that's like my year's worth of energy use in a month.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: That's crazy talk. And everyone's mad at data centers?
• 20:08
  Speaker 14: Gosh.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: But you can get with James and the folks there
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: and get advice. As I said, like I said, James,
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: an educated consumer. When somebody calls you and says, hey,
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: should I get into gold and silver? You can actually
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: walk through where they are, how much they have, where
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: are they in their journey? Are they close to retirement?
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Are they in their 20s? Whatever it is, James. And
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: we deeply appreciate that at all times. And you have
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: a great day, sir. Absolutely. Thank you, Joe. You too.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: And you can call them and put me to a test.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Don't just believe me because I say so. Put me
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: to the test at 434-979-COIN. That's the phone number for jcsgold.com.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: They'll get there shortly after 10 Eastern Daylight Time. There
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: are only a few weeks left of that one. There's
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: another Senate action that hasn't been passed yet. And We
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: ask these folks to do inappropriate things, and I don't
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: mean in kind of that creepy Kevin Spacey way. I'm
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: talking about we've started asking congressional representatives and presidents and
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: senators and even Supreme Court justices to do things that
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: the Constitution never played out for them. And what it's
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: done is it's created this narrative of– Or the feeling
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: that they're working for someone else. I've got a clip,
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: and I'm hesitant to play it because people are going
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: to be mad at me for playing it. But it
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: is indicative of what we say all along. I can't
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: be anything but honest with you. The political parties are
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: too powerful. because the congressional districts are too big and
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: we're too disenfranchised.
• 22:01
  Speaker 23: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National Lead Trainer for Planet Fitness,
• 22:04

• 22:08
  Speaker 23: at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity in a
• 22:11
  Speaker 23: week's time. But here's the thing, that 150 minutes does
• 22:15
  Speaker 23: not need to be super intense. As a matter of fact,
• 22:17
  Speaker 23: it could just be you moving your body and doing
• 22:19
  Speaker 23: what you already love to do, like exercise. And a
• 22:22
  Speaker 23: stronger heart doesn't just mean cardio, right? It means also

  Speaker 2: in that? First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: talk show.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: No good deed goes unpunished.
• 28:23
  Speaker 23: You've heard that expression before, right?
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: To be fair, it's the programming philosophy of a lot
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: of radio programs and television programs, that no good deed
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: should go unpunished. And it begins. Not 24 hours have
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: passed since a 16-year-old tried to wreak more havoc than
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: he was allowed to in a Bend, Oregon school where
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: three students and a teacher, presumably three students and an adult,
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: were killed yesterday. And the 16-year-old that was doing the
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: killing was killed by a bystander. And the stories already
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: start coming in. What we know of the armed bystander.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: This Fox News, an armed bystander carrying a concealed weapon.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: And these were all all inflammatory words. They are supposed
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: to not like words like armed and concealed. A citizen
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: living freely under his Second Amendment God-given rights, Second Amendment
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: protected God-given right, to defend himself and his community, killed
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: the 16-year-old. Oh, armed bystander carrying a concealed weapon. And
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: that's Fox News telling you that. You know, ABC, CBS,
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: hand-wringers peeing themselves in the newsroom. The bystander and their
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: intervention came because, you know, this kid, obviously 16 years old,
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know what bent him out of shape. to
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: do this, but got into the school by opening fire
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: on the door with his rifle, which drew the attention
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: of drivers going by the school to the point where
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: he took a shot at one of the cars driving by.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: This is from the National Rifle Association. And gun-free zones everywhere.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: This is going to be the next story. So this
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: guy is at some point going to be hit with
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: he violated the gun-free school zone by bringing his legally owned,
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: licensed firearm into this school. And I'm telling you right now,
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: brace yourself. This is coming. Because the narrative of these
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: bystanders who have done what Now, understand, so this driver
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: going by the school sees this going on, hears the gunshots,
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: calls 911, gets shot at themselves, and police are there
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: in three minutes. Three minutes after that phone call, the
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: Bend police are there. That's awesome time, but that's three minutes.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: You can do an awful lot in three minutes. It
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: is why even my law enforcement friends reinforce... the point
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: that when seconds matter, police are at best minutes away.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: So the Bend police do an incredible job of getting there.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: This armed bystander who we're only going to spend the morning,
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: little by little, stories, oh, he's this, he's that. You know,
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: heaven forbid he's a member of the Oath Keepers or Oh, well,
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: we have a picture of him with the Oregon Tea
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: Party in 2010. Look at him wearing this Make America
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: Great Again hat and all these things. This is what
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: is going to unfortunately happen to this poor soul, this
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: hero of Oregon who ran in. And what's going to
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: happen is his life is going to be laid bare.
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: Some ex-girlfriend will be on the MS Now set by
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: 6 this evening saying, oh, I don't know, he and
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: I used to have some pretty big fights. I think
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: he has some violence in him. It's character assassination because
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: the narrative people cannot allow this kind of intervention, which
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: is exactly what the Second Amendment is about. Well, it's
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: partially what the Second Amendment is about. The Second Amendment
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: is there so you can defend yourself against tyranny as
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: it manifests in front of you, and that certainly qualifies
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: here in Oregon. Good morning. You're on the air with
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: Joe first thing this Friday morning, live from our City
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: Elders Get-Togethers here in Fishersville, Virginia. Who's this?
• 33:42
  Speaker 19: This is Mark.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: Mark, how are you this morning, sir? I'm good, Joe.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: Hey, how about we change the narrative to a masked
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: school shooter killed by presumed hero?
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: Well, you see, again, that's, you know, we presume he
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: was a hero, but ending this shooting spree before it
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: claimed more lives than it did, I think, is already heroic.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: You don't have to presume the heroism of it. Well, yeah.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: But, yeah, you're right.
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: They're going to drag this person through the mud and
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: back again.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: And it's all, you know, go ahead.
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: I was going to say, and if we're doing, you know,
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: what was right, I mean, you know, might have been
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: a gun-free school zone, but, I mean, it was no
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: different than what happened, you know, years back up at
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: Harris Teeter where a bystander stopped a shooter.
• 34:38
  Speaker 9: Yep.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: And you turned out to be an off-duty law enforcement.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: I think you worked at one of the prisons. If
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: I'm remembering the story, that was in Crozet, Virginia, here
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: in our flagship city. And it was this guy. And
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: we still don't know anything. And this goes back to why,
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: you know, there are certain things you need to know.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: So this fella had been called in for a meeting
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: with his boss. His own family had tried to. And
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: this is the failure of the left. The left says
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: we need red flag laws, right? You've heard this before.
• 35:11
  Speaker 13: Right.
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: And then this guy's family had called law enforcement three
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: separate occasions. And on three separate occasions, law enforcement went,
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: I don't know, it seems OK to me. And then
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: he has a meeting with his employer. And the next
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: thing you know, he's in a grocery store trying to
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: kill people. And you're saying, you know, we need a
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: better way of making sure we're all holding on to
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: our marbles thoroughly, don't you think?
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: Oh, I do think. And I mean, I think that,
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: you know, the whole aspect of everybody being against guns.
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: I mean, I heard a story just the other day.
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: Someone was telling me they were having a conversation with
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: someone and that person, I believe, was getting ready to
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: go in somewhere. I don't remember the exact place, but
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: when they got out their car, they noticed somebody with
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: a firearm on their hip. And the person said, yeah,
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: I just turned and got back in my car and said,
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: I really don't need to go in there. And I'm like,
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: it's probably the safest place to be.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: Right. You know, that's but that's the thing. See, we've
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: vilified this inanimate object. And and so the it's not
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: about what the hero did in Bend, Oregon, or what
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: the assailant did with a rifle in Bend, Oregon. It's
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: their action. It's their interaction with the firearm. It's what
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: they're doing with it. It's the same thing with an
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: internet chat room or anything else. It's what we're doing.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: And these folks will not engage on the idea of
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: we need to be better people. This is what, 15,
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: 20 years? I was saying this earlier. This is what,
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: 25 years since we started taking the Ten Commandments out
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: of schools? And so these people are growing up in
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: a world where they don't understand thou shalt not murder.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. You know, it's a minor of opinion,
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: you know, as far as, you know, when that happens,
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: people need to step back and they need to, you know,
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: instead of pointing fingers and saying, hey, he was wrong
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: for doing that. It's not his job to judge or execute.
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: They need to say, hey, the best scenario took place.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: I mean, the right thing happened, you know, and leave
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: it alone.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: Amen to that. Like I said earlier, let's pick up
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: on the Yardley Love narrative. Let's save the next kid.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: And that's what we need to do. I can't, can't
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: do anything for the three tragically lost and the adult,
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: but we can save the next one. If we start
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: talking about school resource officers, making sure there are people
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: in the schools that will stop this, you know, just
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: out of the grace of God, somebody was going by
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: and heard the shots and ran towards them. Anyway, you
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: have a blessed morning, sir, and have a great weekend.
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: You too. Hey, Joe, one more thing.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: Uh, If it was one of these that were shot,
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: the ones that are saying this guy done something wrong,
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: if it was.
• 38:02
  Speaker 14: In a study, it was found that 33% of 44
• 38:05
  Speaker 14: herbal supplements had no trace of the advertised herb. Don't
• 38:10
  Speaker 14: let that happen to you. Hi, this is Dr.

  Speaker 14: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 39:07
  Speaker 14: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 39:13
  Speaker 14: I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 39:18
  Speaker 14: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 39:22
  Speaker 14: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 39:27
  Speaker 14: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 39:32
  Speaker 14: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and
• 39:36
  Speaker 14: inflammation has antioxidant properties and research suggests that curcumin can
• 39:42
  Speaker 14: prevent cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer
• 39:46
  Speaker 14: and in many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects
• 39:51

  Speaker 26: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 40:06
  Speaker 26: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 40:10
  Speaker 26: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 40:13
  Speaker 26: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 40:17
  Speaker 26: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 40:21
  Speaker 26: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 40:26
  Speaker 26: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 40:29
  Speaker 26: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 40:33
  Speaker 26: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 40:38
  Speaker 26: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 40:43
  Speaker 26: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 40:46
  Speaker 26: enforcement arm the Office of the Inspector General at oig.ssa.gov.
• 40:54
  Speaker 26: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: Hi, everybody.
• 40:59
  Speaker 27: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 41:01
  Speaker 27: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 41:04
  Speaker 27: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 41:06
  Speaker 27: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 41:09
  Speaker 27: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes.
• 41:13
  Speaker 10: Who work hard to provide for their young.
• 41:14
  Speaker 27: Or penguins, who travel up to 500 miles to secure
• 41:17
  Speaker 27: food for their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump
• 41:21
  Speaker 27: allows them to navigate the trees and the wild in
• 41:23
  Speaker 27: search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by
• 41:26
  Speaker 27: our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are our
• 41:29
  Speaker 27: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 41:32
  Speaker 27: they also perform life-saving work every day. Dogs keep us
• 41:35
  Speaker 27: safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom
• 41:38
  Speaker 27: suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when
• 41:41
  Speaker 27: there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have
• 41:44
  Speaker 27: a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society.
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: And help those in need.
• 41:48
  Speaker 27: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 41:51
  Speaker 27: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 41:53
  Speaker 27: planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.

  Speaker 8: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 42:01
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah?
• 42:02
  Speaker 10: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 42:04
  Speaker 13: And now a speech.
• 42:07
  Speaker 21: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 42:10
  Speaker 10: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 42:13
  Speaker 27: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 42:15
  Speaker 21: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 42:18
  Speaker 21: somebody call me a ride.
• 42:19
  Speaker 19: Love that guy.
• 42:20
  Speaker 15: Me too.
• 42:21
  Speaker 13: Know your buzzed warning signs?
• 42:23
  Speaker 8: Call for a ride when it's time to go home.
• 42:25
  Speaker 13: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 42:29
  Speaker 24: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 42:31
  Speaker 24: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 42:35
  Speaker 24: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 42:40
  Speaker 24: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 42:42
  Speaker 24: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 42:46
  Speaker 24: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 42:52
  Speaker 24: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 42:55
  Speaker 24: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 42:59
  Speaker 24: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 43:01
  Speaker 24: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 43:04
  Speaker 24: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 43:08
  Speaker 24: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 43:11
  Speaker 24: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 43:15
  Speaker 24: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
• 43:18
  Speaker 24: money by reducing your energy waste, check out ftc.gov slash green.

  Speaker 24: protection agency.
• 43:30
  Speaker 28: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 43:32
  Speaker 28: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 43:35
  Speaker 28: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 43:41
  Speaker 28: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 43:44
  Speaker 8: But help is available.
• 43:46
  Speaker 28: Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories at maketheconnection.net and learn
• 43:51
  Speaker 28: how you can support the veterans in your life. Treatment works.
• 43:56
  Speaker 28: Recovery is possible.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: So I had to hang on because it's damned if
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: you do, damned if you don't. If I had interrupted
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: our caller just before the break, I would have been
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: hit for, why'd you interrupt him? He was just finishing
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: his point. But we didn't get a chance to finish
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: his point. So thank you for hanging on the line.
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: You were saying one last thought about the Samaritan, the
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: hero out of Oregon there. And you had one last thought,
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: and it was just starting. Gosh, time has ran out.
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: One of their children or family members that was shot
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: in that, they'd look at it a whole lot different
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: and say that that guy did the right thing.
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately, I worry that they would say, see, this is
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: what happens when people own guns. And it's going to
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: be about owning guns rather than somebody who's lost their
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: last good marble and has decided to do horrific things.
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: And that's why we're never going to get this right
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: until we can have an honest conversation about it. So
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: thank you for hanging on with me on that point.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, have a good one, Joe.
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. So I just wanted to hear his thought on that.
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: I appreciate it, and have a great weekend there. But
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: it is that vilification of the inanimate. And in a
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: grand abstract, this is.
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: Disease that is caused by the infection of democracy. See,
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: once everything has to be democratically decided, and I can
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: hear Ray right now, Joe, it's democracy. But if everything
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: has to be voted on, two things have to always happen.
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: Number one, we have to limit how many people show
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: up at something so that we can control who votes.
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: And number two, we have to find things to vote
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: for that aren't going to make anyone feel bad. So
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: voting against a gun is easy because it's an inanimate object.
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: It doesn't get a vote. It's the same thing that
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: happens to unborn babies. They don't have a vote, so
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: politicians aren't going to defend them. And those who do are...
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: to be lauded for taking the controversial position that a
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: woman who does have a vote is being told she
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: may not be able to abort the child that she
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: didn't want in the first place because of some law
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: passed by a politician who said, I'm going to look
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: out for this baby who's 18 years at best away
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: from ever being able to vote for me. You know,
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: I wonder, I brought this up and I'm writing a
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: piece for the Daily Signal. Of course, I cover news
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: for the Daily Signal. And one of the stories I'm
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: investigating is Tom Perriello, congressman, former congressman from the Obama years,
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: won his election by making sure that overseas military votes
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: did not get counted. And now he's out there courting
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: veterans groups. Do these veterans realize that this guy, in
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: many cases, stopped their votes from being counted when they
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: were in theater? And it's the same thing with these,
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: you know, somebody, 18-year-old voting for somebody. Do they realize
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: that that political party was trying to get them aborted?
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: And yet now you're going to vote for them? You're
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: like the people who wear the LGBTQI for Hamas T-shirts.
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: Good morning. You're on the air with Joe first thing
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: this morning. Who's this? Hey, good morning, Joe.
• 48:18
  Speaker 14: It's Joel.
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: Hey, Joel. How are you doing this morning?
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: I'm doing okay.
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: I just wanted to bring this up.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: I wanted to say that everything that's been happening, I'd
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: say probably with... cell phones and computers and more visibility
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: and audibility, we've become, and video games, we've become immune
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: to violence, and violence in the sense that it's acceptable.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: And there are certain behaviors that have never been acceptable
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: throughout society, yet we're chastising the ones That are keeping
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: the old values and then the ones that are committing
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: the violence. We're trying to find the cause of the violence,
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: which is important, but we're also throwing it back at
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: the people that are saving lives. and looking at them
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: like there's an alternate reason. And the alternate reason is
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: to go back to that normal societal thing that America
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: used to have. And you were saying about how don't
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: save America, save the individuals.
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: And we've lost that individuality. Well, your life matters. That's
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: my counter to the Black Lives Matter narrative is your
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: life matters, regardless of the color of your skin. Your
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: life matters, and we have forgotten that. We implicitly say
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: that my life only matters based on the group that
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: I hang out with, and that's sad, and it leads
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: to a lot of the pain that teens feel because
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: if they're not in the right clique, or that which
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: they perceive to be the right click at the moment.
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: They get frustrated. I don't know what was going on
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: in this 16-year-old's mind or life. There, the press seems
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: more interested in trying to investigate this Samaritan that came
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: and ended the shooting first. And to be fair, that
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: needs to be investigated as well. You don't want something
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: slipping past you just because there was this going on.
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: But it still comes down to the human element. Like
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: you were saying, Joel, this 16-year-old decided that whatever his
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: problems were, shooting people was going to be the right answer.
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: And we need to go back to square one and
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: start teaching kids that this isn't the answer. If I
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: understand you correctly, and it sounds like you understand me,
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: and I know that you know that I know that
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: you know that I know that you know that we're something.
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: Well, we have people in government that are proclaiming it's
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: okay to go knock down statues and it's okay to
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: abort a baby because they don't have any rights. But
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: the rights are there. The rights are there. There's inalienable rights,
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: whether you believe in God or not. But the majority
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: of people believe, have some kind of belief. And then
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: we have the Constitution and the.
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: Bill of Rights.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: And all those things are, yeah, they may be on paper,
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: they may be on hemp, But look at the people
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: that fought for them.
• 51:35
  Speaker 12: They were old.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: They were young people. They were probably, some of them
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: were probably, what, 17, 18? What was Washington?
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, absolutely. Very young people took up arms to
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: get rid of the British then and the occupying army.
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: And I think there's a certain amount of comparison to
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: an occupying army. And I know people are going to
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: go to the Islamist story if they hear me say that.
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: And I'm talking about the progressive Marxist. That's the occupying army.
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: They're not from here. We're from here. The liberty is here.
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: The idea that all men are created equal, that's from here.
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: Anything that's contrary to that is foreign. And we have
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: to make sure... that those ideas are dragged out into
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: the sunlight and exposed for the fraud that they are, Joel.
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: But anyway, you have a good Friday morning, sir. I
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: appreciate it. And thank you for checking in. You too, Joe.
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: Thank you. Do you see I did a better job there?
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: Did I do a better job? I'm getting needled from
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: folks that are like, you know, you run it right
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: up to when the commercials play. I don't like the
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: music beds that come up and the little stings and everything.
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: Here are some sponsors.
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: My name is Bobby.
• 52:52
  Speaker 24: I'm a veteran and lost my leg to a roadside bomb.
• 52:55
  Speaker 7: My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a
• 52:58
  Speaker 7: weightlifting champion.
• 53:00
  Speaker 15: I'm Sam.
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: I'm a veteran.
• 53:02
  Speaker 8: My victory was finding a career I can be proud
• 53:04
  Speaker 8: of and supporting my family.
• 53:06
  Speaker 13: America's veterans are on their most important tour, the tour
• 53:09
  Speaker 13: of their lives.
• 53:10
  Speaker 12: I'm a veteran.
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: My victory was going from homeless to home.
• 53:14
  Speaker 13: At DAV, we're on a mission to help veterans get
• 53:17
  Speaker 13: the benefits they've earned.
• 53:19
  Speaker 23: I'm a veteran, and my victory was finishing my education.
• 53:23
  Speaker 13: DAV offers veterans of all generations a lifetime of support
• 53:27
