• 0:04
  Speaker 1: This is Independence from Virginia, again, first thing today, by
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Joe works at a steel mill, he's damn near every day.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Leads for work when the sun comes up, drops a kid.
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: To school in the long way.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Joe has everything he dreamed of, all the treasures that
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: he needs.
• 0:27
  Speaker 5: No wonder Joe's always smiling, he only aims.
• 0:31
  Speaker 6: To please you.
• 0:35
  Speaker 7: Thank you so much for letting me be of service
• 0:38
  Speaker 7: to you.
• 0:38
  Speaker 8: I want to be of use.
• 0:42
  Speaker 7: As we gather around a radio for comfort, and some
• 0:47
  Speaker 7: of you, especially down the Four Corners area, are trying
• 0:50
  Speaker 7: to use it to shelter you from the rain or bail,
• 0:55
  Speaker 7: good luck with that. If you've decided listening to the
• 0:58
  Speaker 7: radio is insufficient towards bailing the water, I get it. 434-882-4217.
• 1:04
  Speaker 7: That is the phone number because I'm going to tell
• 1:09
  Speaker 7: you what went on last night. I'm going to give
• 1:11
  Speaker 7: you my analysis of it for sure. That's the admission price.
• 1:15
  Speaker 7: That's the two drink minimum, if you will. But I
• 1:18
  Speaker 7: want to hear how it's impacting you, the news of
• 1:20
  Speaker 7: the day, where you are, because you're the singular most
• 1:23
  Speaker 7: important local aspect of the radio station as you bask
• 1:28
  Speaker 7: in its amplitude and or frequency modulation goodness. All right,
• 1:32
  Speaker 7: good morning. Good morning, Todd.
• 1:34
  Speaker 9: This morning, seven individuals were arrested or surrendered for allegedly
• 1:39
  Speaker 9: participating in a large-scale RICO drug trafficking and money laundering conspiracy.
• 1:45
  Speaker 9: One of those individuals is the president pro tempore of
• 1:48
  Speaker 9: the Virginia State Senate, Lily Louise Lucas.
• 1:53
  Speaker 7: And oh, what fun it is to ride in a
• 1:55
  Speaker 7: one-horse open sleigh. Just when you thought the rest of
• 1:59
  Speaker 7: the country had decided Virginia has had enough attention for
• 2:03
  Speaker 7: itself this morning, we light ourselves on fire again and
• 2:07
  Speaker 7: let everyone see it. Yes, the highest-ranking Democrat in Virginia,
• 2:12
  Speaker 7: with apologies to Abigail Spanberger, the most powerful Democrat in Virginia,
• 2:19
  Speaker 7: Louise Lucas, turned herself in to the FBI yesterday morning.
• 2:23
  Speaker 7: Of course, we told you the story months ago. of
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: their raiding the office of her dispensary. And Eddie's incurrence
• 2:33
  Speaker 7: with this are profound and borderline unending. So we're going
• 2:40
  Speaker 7: to break a lot of this down. But there's more
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: of it, because even in the world where we'd love
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: to bask in the ignominy of Louise Lucas and her
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: arrest for drug trafficking, money laundering, and racketeering, comes the
• 2:56
  Speaker 7: story that the internet is dying. Somebody has given the
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: internet a virus. And those people either, you know, and
• 3:05
  Speaker 7: it's fun because either, depending on who you ask, AI
• 3:10
  Speaker 7: caused it or AI identified it. And you've run into
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: those Those situations where somebody lights a fire. We've seen
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: this in firefighting circles where you get a fire bug
• 3:25
  Speaker 7: in the fire department and they're lighting fires so they
• 3:28
  Speaker 7: can go out and put them out. Could that be
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: what AI did? The Internet is teetering as Europe closed
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: most of its Internet. Seventy percent of the world's websites
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: impacted Europe. after a security hack was discovered in the
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: programming language called PHP. One security expert told me that
• 3:51
  Speaker 7: they discovered that the password to get into the main
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: server was the number four that is being investigated for us.
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: But it did not take AI long to find out
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: how to get in to the programming language that has
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: been used underneath most websites since the early 90s and
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: is now mostly what you'll find behind the security certificates
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: in most websites. 70% of the world's websites in Europe
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: were shut down as the governments struggled to come up
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: with fixes. There was a patch released on Wednesday, which
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: some at the National Security Agency said seemed to be
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: slowing down the exploit, which... ostensibly creates a copy of
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: the website once it's inside of it, and then puts
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: that on the internet so that when you go to, say, Amazon,
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: you think you're at Amazon, but you're at a spoof
• 4:56
  Speaker 7: site that just looks exactly like Amazon. Security experts say
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: that in several cases, the instances of people having their
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: own personal information stolen has been reported as well. Security
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: experts say that if you have saved passwords and they
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: don't show up on a website, that's an indication that
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: your computer doesn't recognize the language behind the website and
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: it's a red flag that you should leave immediately. Supreme
• 5:32
  Speaker 7: Court cleared the way Thursday for New Hampshire to ban
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: the use of student IDs for voting during the midterm elections.
• 5:40
  Speaker 7: Justices granted a Republican-backed emergency appeal and blocked the use
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: of student IDs as a backup method of identification. Russia
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: continues to bombard Kiev as the war between Ukraine and
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: Russia continues, even as negotiators... are talking about a tripartite
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: negotiation between Russia, Ukraine, and the United States now. And

• 7:05

• 7:08
  Speaker 10: to look into.

  Speaker 10: Maybe you've heard joining MediShare can save you or your
• 7:13
  Speaker 10: family up to 500 bucks a month, and that's huge.
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: But It's also true.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: People are just happier with it.
• 7:18
  Speaker 10: They love being part of something that reflects and promotes
• 7:21
  Speaker 10: their values and what they believe in.
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: MediShare works, too.
• 7:25
  Speaker 10: It's been around for 30 years now, and members have
• 7:28
  Speaker 10: shared more than $ 7 billion of each other's bills. People

  Speaker 7: 855-SHARE-40.
• 8:04
  Speaker 11: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:08
  Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 11: I'm Dr.
• 8:14
  Speaker 12: Mitch.
• 8:15
  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
• 8:25
  Speaker 11: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 8:29
  Speaker 11: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 8:33
  Speaker 11: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 8:40
  Speaker 11: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer. or at
• 8:44
  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,
• 8:58
  Speaker 11: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
• 9:03
  Speaker 13: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:06
  Speaker 13: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 13: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:14
  Speaker 13: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:17
  Speaker 13: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:22
  Speaker 13: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:26
  Speaker 13: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:30
  Speaker 13: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:34
  Speaker 13: personal information like your Social Security number or bank account
• 9:38
  Speaker 13: or send money in any form Hi, everybody. general at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:54
  Speaker 13: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:59
  Speaker 14: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 15: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 10:02
  Speaker 15: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:05
  Speaker 15: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:07
  Speaker 15: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:09
  Speaker 15: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
• 10:13
  Speaker 15: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
• 10:16
  Speaker 15: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
• 10:18
  Speaker 15: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
• 10:21
  Speaker 15: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 10:24
  Speaker 15: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
• 10:27
  Speaker 15: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
• 10:30
  Speaker 15: but because of their acute senses, they also perform lifesaving
• 10:34
  Speaker 15: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
• 10:36
  Speaker 15: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
• 10:39
  Speaker 15: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
• 10:42
  Speaker 15: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
• 10:45
  Speaker 15: trained roles that contribute to society.
• 10:47
  Speaker 7: And help those in need.
• 10:48
  Speaker 15: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 10:51
  Speaker 15: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 10:54
  Speaker 15: planet we inhabit together. Go to americanhumane.org to learn more.
• 11:00
  Speaker 16: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 17: Oh, yeah?
• 11:02
  Speaker 18: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 19: And now a speech.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:11
  Speaker 19: Heart and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 15: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: somebody call me a ride.
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: Love that guy.
• 11:21
  Speaker 8: Me too.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:29
  Speaker 12: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:32
  Speaker 12: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:36
  Speaker 12: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:40
  Speaker 12: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:43
  Speaker 12: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 12: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 11:52
  Speaker 12: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 11:55
  Speaker 12: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:59
  Speaker 12: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:01
  Speaker 12: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 12:05
  Speaker 12: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:08
  Speaker 12: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 12:11
  Speaker 12: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 12:15
  Speaker 12: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
• 12:18
  Speaker 12: money by reducing your energy waste, check out ftc.gov slash green.

  Speaker 12: A tip from the Federal Trade Commission. the nation's consumer
• 12:27
  Speaker 12: protection agency.
• 12:30
  Speaker 20: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:33
  Speaker 20: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:36
  Speaker 20: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:41
  Speaker 20: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 12:44
  Speaker 20: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
• 12:49
  Speaker 20: at maketheconnection.net and learn how you can support the veterans
• 12:53
  Speaker 20: in your life. Treatment works. Recovery is possible.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:35
  Speaker 8: So what do you do?
• 14:00
  Speaker 14: I like in.
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: Do something that has meaning. And so many of us
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: use the internet. So this... And depending on who you
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: talk to, the severity of this security hack that apparently
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: happened Wednesday, or at least it became... It came to
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: the attention... of the guys in tech support on Wednesday,
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: especially hitting Europe. But this PHP... Years ago, I had
• 14:32
  Speaker 7: to create my own website. Don't stop it. I hear
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: you laughing already. You made your own website. I had
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: lost a job, and I needed to find one, and
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: it's actually the website I used to find my position
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: in Virginia, and it's the reason you and I are
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: here today.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: So.
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: Stick a sock in it. So I had to kind
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: of teach myself how to write Java. I joked with
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: friends of mine that I used to drink a lot
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: of Java, but I'd never written it. And I learned
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: and I created myself my own web page with clips
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: and audio and fascinated with all the things I could
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: do fairly simply. But I had to understand the security.
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: So the PHP, the acronym is for personal homepage. And
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: it was designed so that your internet service provider could
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: give you a website. This came about in the 90s
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: when that became a selling point of internet service. Well,
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: you pay us $ 49. 99 a month and you'll get your
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: own website. And most people never used it. I did,
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: much to the chagrin of Comcast. But that was how
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: you could create your own web page. And it's come
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: to be the underpinnings of what is known as the HTTPS,
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: the security certificates that go along with websites when you
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: get the little you know, a pop-up that says this
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: site is not secure, often it is because those security
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: certificates have expired. And there's a company called ICANN, not
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: to be confused with ICANN, the Informed Consent Action Network.
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: ICANN is basically the people who own the internet. And yes,
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: it's one organization. It's not a government. You don't get
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: to vote on it. Sorry, all you democracy junkies. Nobody
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: gets to vote on who runs ICANN. But basically, these
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: are the folks. But so this security exploit, depending on
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: who you ask, was either discovered by or created by
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: artificial intelligence.
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: The story that I find as I sort through the
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: varying degrees of, was it caused by AI? First off,
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: I look at the people saying it was caused by AI.
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: These are the people who want you to hide in
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: the basement because COVID. These are the same people who
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: were insistent that everyone wear a woke mask, everyone carry
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: around their medical history in a card. or a QR
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: code that could be scanned at an airport, perhaps even
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: make a lapel pin out of it. Or a subcutaneous
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: transponder that wouldn't necessarily be the mark of the beast. No,
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: why would you say that? So I figured, okay, that's
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: one side. The other side is nothing to see here,
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: nothing to see here, just some kids being silly. And
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: those are the government types who don't want panic, don't
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: want to run on the banks like in Mary Poppins.
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: He can't get his tuppence? And from what I've been
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: able to ascertain, somewhere in the middle is a bunch
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: of people have been hijacking personal computers to use them
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: to mine Bitcoin. Sorry, this isn't some Russian attempt to
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: overthrow the government in Kiev. This isn't China going after Taiwan.
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: It's a bunch of punks who want to use your
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: computer space to mine Bitcoin faster. Or for free, right.
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: Thank you. But the fact that they figured out how
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: to get into PHP... which I don't know if this
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: is true or not. One tech person said that they
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: set off an AI program to figure out, to go
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: through all the permutations of the security code, and it
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: took four tries. Now, I don't know if it was
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: because they had such a... Somebody said their security code
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: was four. I'm like, there are no security codes that
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: are less than four digits. Most of them are eight
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: to 12, and they need to have some special... anagram
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: or symbol in it, whatever. It could be old enough
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: where the password was, number four. Disappointed to a degree
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: that it wasn't 42, but that's just the Douglas Adams
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: in me. But what would you do if the pandemic
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: squad came and said, you can't go on the internet anymore.
• 19:44
  Speaker 7: We're locking you in the 80s. Because that's... quickly moved
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: to the head of the class in the pandemic race
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: or plandemic race. Don't go online. Don't talk to your
• 20:01
  Speaker 7: friends anymore. It's even better than COVID. COVID, you could
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: at least go on the internet and talk to people.
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: much to their chagrin, because that's where people started saying, hey,
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: does any of this make any sense to you? Did
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: you hear about ivermectin? Oh, and they couldn't handle the internet.
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: I mean, there's several European countries to shut the damn
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: thing down. So now, now we have AI. Oh, goody. Now,
• 20:29
  Speaker 7: not only can we tell you to not talk to
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: your friends, we can take your computer and your internet away, too.
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: double point score for the authoritarians who want to lock
• 20:43
  Speaker 7: you away and isolate you and feed you the, you know,
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: whatever it is, big brother's office of directorate, you know,
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: spokesperson Jim Crow says. So certainly, you know, Chicken Little
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: has come out and has announced that it's the end
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: of the world as we know it. I'm not quite
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: ready to go there, but it is a concern. But
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: like most things, compare it to a riot in downtown.
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: I don't know where I would come up with such
• 21:19
  Speaker 7: an analogy, but compare it to like an Islamist riot
• 21:25
  Speaker 7: on the main street of, say, a big city like,
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: I don't know, pick something at random, Paris. And now
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: you can't open your shop because all the windows are
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: broken and all the stuff has been stolen. That's kind
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: of what's happening on the Internet, and they're still chasing it. Apparently,
• 21:45
  Speaker 7: each patch is about six steps behind it. It's a
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: little bit like watching Wile E. Coyote chase down the Roadrunner,
• 21:54
  Speaker 7: but they promise they're going to get there. But there
• 21:57
  Speaker 7: are ways to deal with this without shutting down the
• 22:00
  Speaker 7: internet and I'll explain in a minute.
• 22:01
  Speaker 17: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National Lead Trainer for Planet
• 22:05
  Speaker 17: Fitness and the American Heart Association recommends that we all
• 22:08
  Speaker 17: get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity in
• 22:12
  Speaker 17: a week's time. But here's the thing, that 150 minutes
• 22:15
  Speaker 17: does not need to be super intense. As a matter
• 22:18
  Speaker 17: of fact, it could just be you moving your body
• 22:20
  Speaker 17: and doing what you already love to do, like exercise.
• 22:23
  Speaker 17: And a stronger heart doesn't just mean cardio, right? It
• 22:26
  Speaker 17: means also infusing your workout routines with strength training as well.
• 22:30
  Speaker 17: So we are super excited to be launching our new
• 22:33
  Speaker 17: plate-loaded strength series in all of our gyms. It's already

  Speaker 21: For decades, America's offshore oil industry has relied on Port Fouchon, Louisiana.
• 23:02
  Speaker 21: But now, as wind energy continues to grow, many of
• 23:05
  Speaker 21: these vessels, these companies, these people are building and servicing
• 23:10
  Speaker 21: the offshore wind industry. Moving equipment, installing turbines, transporting crews,
• 23:15
  Speaker 21: it's a huge opportunity, and we're proud to be a.
• 23:17
  Speaker 14: Part of that.
• 23:18
  Speaker 17: U.S.
• 23:18
  Speaker 18: Offshore wind has already announced over $ 25 billion in infrastructure investments.

  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,
• 24:13
  Speaker 11: I'm Dr.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: Mitch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 11: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:20
  Speaker 11: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:24
  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
• 24:33
  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,
• 24:47
  Speaker 11: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 24:52
  Speaker 11: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,

  Speaker 17: Oh, yeah?
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 26:00
  Speaker 19: And now a speech.
• 26:03
  Speaker 9: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 26:06
  Speaker 7: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 26:09
  Speaker 15: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: somebody call me a ride.
• 26:15
  Speaker 23: Love that guy.
• 26:16
  Speaker 8: Me too.

  Speaker 3: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 26:20

  Speaker 12: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 26:26
  Speaker 12: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 26:30
  Speaker 12: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 12: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:37
  Speaker 12: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 26:41
  Speaker 12: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 26:46
  Speaker 12: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 26:49
  Speaker 12: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 26:53
  Speaker 12: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 26:56
  Speaker 12: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 26:59
  Speaker 12: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 27:03
  Speaker 12: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 27:06
  Speaker 12: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 27:09
  Speaker 12: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 8: Here is the sound of thousands.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 28:19
  Speaker 8: Unhackable radio. And that's not really true, but....
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: The ability to hack radio is so much harder, though.
• 28:47
  Speaker 7: You've got to actually climb some fences, cross some razor wire,
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: get to the transmitter, figure out a way in, then
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: you've got to splice, and it takes so long. Security comes,
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: and then Uncle Doberman comes and gives you a slightly
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: smaller backside. So it's so much harder to hack radio, and...
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: I think most of the cool kids that do this
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: kind of hack work don't realize that 96% of all
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: Americans listen to the radio. So good on us. So
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: it's sort of like the way Apple used to brag.
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: They wouldn't call it bragging because they're Apple, but they
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: would say, oh, well, there's no viruses because nobody wrote
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: viruses for Apple. It wasn't because you couldn't. It was
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: just harder. And now they do. And welcome to the potty, pal.
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: So what do you do? What do you do in
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: a world? Text message. Yes, I know. Louise Lucas was
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: arrested yesterday. Yes, we'll get there. Everyone wants to talk
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: about the arrests of high-ranking Democrats. Can't imagine why. And
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: we will get there. But I just feel like more
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: of us are going to be impacted in some way, shape,
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: or form by this Internet hack, especially when it gets
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: to the government official levels, when they start talking about
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: perhaps not going on the Internet for a while. You know,
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: maybe just two weeks to flatten the curve. Maybe we'll...
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: Ask Pfizer if there's some vaccine we can give your computer.
• 30:31
  Speaker 7: It's not going to be anything that the government would
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: use to track what you do online, no. But we
• 30:36
  Speaker 7: would ask you to have like a computer vaccine card,
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: just saying. Because they're still looking for the next great pandemic,
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: plandemic if you will. They're still looking, the authoritarians are,
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: for the next way to isolate us from one another.
• 30:55
  Speaker 7: To convince us that our neighbors are desperately dangerous machine
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: guns just ready to kill us or steal all of
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: our information. So no more email, no more text messages,
• 31:10
  Speaker 7: no more signal app. I'm sorry, was Pete Hegseth listening?
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: None of that. None of that. Don't talk to your friends.
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: Only talk to the people the government authorizes you to
• 31:25
  Speaker 7: talk to because they've determined them safe, because they have
• 31:28
  Speaker 7: the internet vaccine card. Any of this sounding familiar? Has
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: it been that long since we've done this? And yes,
• 31:36
  Speaker 7: there are people that think this would be a good idea. Remember,
• 31:41
  Speaker 7: the internet was the scourge of the last pandemic. People
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: started saying, hey, did you hear about this doctor in
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: Virginia that gave people ivermectin and now they've taken away
• 31:53
  Speaker 7: his license? I heard it on the radio. Yeah, they
• 31:56
  Speaker 7: can't shut the radio down. So what do you do, though,
• 32:02
  Speaker 7: in the interim while you're concerned that all these hackers
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: and slackers are out there accessing your personal information? Well,
• 32:10
  Speaker 7: number one, be judicious about your personal information. Amazon is
• 32:17
  Speaker 7: one of those places that got hit, but there are
• 32:19
  Speaker 7: ways to keep your personal information from just automatically going
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: to Amazon. Some of it is going to be on
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: the borderline of inconvenient, but then again, you don't live
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: in South Sudan, so you don't have to worry about
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: the grocery store blowing up while you're trying to buy
• 32:38
  Speaker 7: some food for the day. So put the balance of
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: what is truly inconvenient in your pipe and smoke it. And,
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: you know, all the big ones, we don't have Linux
• 32:59
  Speaker 7: per se, Red Hat sold out to run the smartphones,
• 33:04
  Speaker 7: but some of the folks who have talked to me
• 33:07
  Speaker 7: about ways you can interact with the internet safely point
• 33:11
  Speaker 7: to Virginia's own Red Hat. Was it Red Hat, Red Ass? No,
• 33:17
  Speaker 7: Red Ass is what you get when you're arrested and
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: you're the highest ranking Virginia Democrat. That's Red Ass. Red
• 33:23
  Speaker 7: Hat is the company that is behind all the strawberry
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: shortcake and whipped cream on top operating systems for your
• 33:31
  Speaker 7: Androids or your Apple smartphones, your i14, now the most recent,
• 33:38
  Speaker 7: because these are apparently, according to what I'm told, more
• 33:44
  Speaker 7: secure in this, that the sites, because the web-optimized sites
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: and the smartphone apps, especially, ironically, are more secure because
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: they're not driven by the PHP. So, good luck with that.
• 34:02
  Speaker 7: Our flagship station, the PHP, is under there because it's
• 34:07
  Speaker 7: a smartphone-optimized version of our website. Sorry. I'm still paying
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: contractors tens of thousands of dollars for moving my transmitter.
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: I can't pay for a smartphone app right now. And
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: smartphone app developers don't want to advertise to you. So
• 34:29
  Speaker 7: it's chance of bartering that kind of stuff goes out
• 34:33
  Speaker 7: the window. So that being said, I'm told that the
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: things you may do interacting with the internet are more
• 34:40
  Speaker 7: secure if you use smartphone apps, believe it or not. Um,
• 34:46
  Speaker 7: while they try to figure this stuff out. So since,
• 34:50
  Speaker 7: since everyone's like, Whoa, what's this internet stuff? Who gives
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: a crap about that? They arrested Louise Lucas. Do you know? Yes,
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: I know. I was on Newsmax. We, We were in
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: rehearsal for our Newsmax bit yesterday when the news broke
• 35:06
  Speaker 7: of Louise Lucas turning herself in to the FBI.
• 35:12
  Speaker 25: As alleged by the Attorney General, Ms. Lucas, for the
• 35:15
  Speaker 25: last nearly five years, accumulated nearly $ 5 million in ill-gotten gains.
• 35:20
  Speaker 23: Through her criminal enterprise.
• 35:22
  Speaker 8: Ms.
• 35:22
  Speaker 25: Lucas served in a position of trust for nearly four
• 35:25
  Speaker 25: decades and served as the president pro tempore of the
• 35:27
  Speaker 25: Senate for the Virginia State Senate for these last five,
• 35:30
  Speaker 25: six years. During that time, as alleged in the indictment,
• 35:34
  Speaker 25: her and her six co-conspirators, instead of serving the public,
• 35:37
  Speaker 25: as was her job, manufactured and created a criminal enterprise
• 35:42
  Speaker 25: to illicitly enrich themselves by procuring sales and stores and
• 35:48
  Speaker 25: divisions through the marijuana and CBD enterprise. Ms. Lucas has
• 35:56
  Speaker 25: many things to answer for on the allegation. The purpose
• 36:00
  Speaker 25: of her enterprise included trafficking large quantities of illegal marijuana,
• 36:04
  Speaker 25: creating generational wealth for members and associates of her criminal enterprise,
• 36:09
  Speaker 25: recycling drug proceeds to expand the operation that she launched
• 36:12
  Speaker 25: and created, and steering marijuana licenses to entities in which
• 36:16
  Speaker 25: members held financial interest.
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: That's Kash Patel. head of the FBI, yesterday. And it
• 36:25
  Speaker 7: has already begun. The defense of Louise Lucas is, so what?
• 36:39
  Speaker 7: And I'm going to tie this to a very obscure thing.
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: President Trump signed an executive order yesterday saying that it's
• 36:45
  Speaker 7: directing FHA to make it easier to get out of your.
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: Was it, it's the CMI, the insurance that you have
• 36:56
  Speaker 7: to get on your mortgage. And trust me, I've been
• 37:06
  Speaker 7: trying for two years to get out from under it
• 37:08
  Speaker 7: because the equity in my house has gone up, but
• 37:11
  Speaker 7: my bank doesn't want to let me. And it won't
• 37:14
  Speaker 7: grandfather President Trump's executive order will only affect mortgages made starting,
• 37:22
  Speaker 7: I guess, today. Make it easier to get out from
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: underneath this down payment insurance. Because you don't grandfather. So
• 37:36
  Speaker 7: all the people defending Louise Lucas saying, who cares what
• 37:39
  Speaker 7: she was doing is legal now. No, because it wasn't
• 37:44
  Speaker 7: legal then. And so most legal experts say she's going
• 37:52
  Speaker 7: to do some time. And the main reason for that
• 37:57
  Speaker 7: is a lot of Democrats don't want to defend her.
• 38:02
  Speaker 11: In a study, it was found that 33% of 44
• 38:06
  Speaker 11: herbal supplements had no trace of the advertised herb. Don't
• 38:11
  Speaker 11: let that happen to you. Hi, this is Dr.

  Speaker 19: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 40:06
  Speaker 19: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
• 40:09
  Speaker 19: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes!
• 40:16
  Speaker 16: Yes!
• 40:17
  Speaker 19: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 40:21
  Speaker 19: favorite form of ear candy. Oh, my. Those bejeweled sprinkles
• 40:26
  Speaker 19: have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 40:28
  Speaker 8: Shh! Do you smell that?
• 40:32
  Speaker 19: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is goodwill.
• 40:39
  Speaker 7: And with every item.
• 40:40
  Speaker 19: You buy, you fund local job training and more. So
• 40:44
  Speaker 19: go forth! Bring home those donut earrings. And bring home
• 40:49
  Speaker 19: so much good to your community.
• 40:54
  Speaker 7: Goodwill.
• 40:55
  Speaker 19: Bring good home.
• 40:58
  Speaker 18: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 18: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 18: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 18: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 18: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:22
  Speaker 18: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 18: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:28
  Speaker 18: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:33
  Speaker 18: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:37
  Speaker 18: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 41:41
  Speaker 20: Eat better.
• 41:42

• 43:27
  Speaker 16: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 43:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 43:35
  Speaker 23: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 43:39
  Speaker 23: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 43:42
  Speaker 23: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message

• 44:13
  Speaker 1: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 44:27
  Speaker 25: During her time as the senior state senator, instead of
• 44:30
  Speaker 25: enforcing the law, she was actually breaking the law as
• 44:32
  Speaker 25: alleged in the indictment and then using her position of
• 44:35
  Speaker 25: power in public trust to deflect and defend against her
• 44:39
  Speaker 25: own criminal enterprise. Truly the epitome of hypocrisy for a
• 44:42
  Speaker 25: public official.
• 44:44
  Speaker 17: Ms.
• 44:44
  Speaker 25: Lucas on January 24th, 2022 posted on social media. I'm
• 44:49
  Speaker 25: a 78-year-old grandma who legalized pot and now has her
• 44:52
  Speaker 25: own cannabis store. And I'm the last thing standing between
• 44:55
  Speaker 25: the GOP and total control of Virginia.
• 44:58
  Speaker 23: That's worth an RT.
• 45:01
  Speaker 25: While she was posting these things, and the reason I
• 45:04
  Speaker 25: highlighted it is because during this time period, her and
• 45:08
  Speaker 25: her co-conspirators continued her criminal conspiracy to enrich themselves and
• 45:13
  Speaker 25: break the public trust. Thank you to the Attorney General.
• 45:16
  Speaker 25: Thank you to the United States Attorney's Office here in Norfolk, Virginia,
• 45:19
  Speaker 25: for making sure that we hold people accountable in positions
• 45:23
  Speaker 25: of public trust and power.
• 45:25
  Speaker 7: And that's the key. So the so what defense for
• 45:29
  Speaker 7: the Senate leader, most powerful Democrat in Virginia and most powerful,
• 45:35
  Speaker 7: not because she was beloved, but because if you didn't
• 45:39
  Speaker 7: have skeletons she knew of in your closet, she would
• 45:42
  Speaker 7: make some. and I talked to one former Virginia senator
• 45:49
  Speaker 7: yesterday who called her a grifter, detailed how he was
• 45:55
  Speaker 7: in the effort of the Democrats to get more sin
• 46:01
  Speaker 7: into Virginia, and I'm not going to sit here and
• 46:03
  Speaker 7: Bible beat too much anyway, about these sin taxes and
• 46:08
  Speaker 7: how our governments have become so corrupted into this idea
• 46:14
  Speaker 7: of permitting behaviors that are contrary to the healthy existence
• 46:23
  Speaker 7: of a community in an effort to make themselves and
• 46:28
  Speaker 7: their campaign contributors money, which is in and of itself
• 46:33
  Speaker 7: its own special form of corruption. She was using her
• 46:43
  Speaker 7: position as the cudgel in the Virginia Senate to make
• 46:49
  Speaker 7: sure that legislation benefited her and her co-conspirators. We can
• 46:56
  Speaker 7: call them that because they were all indicted with her. Now,
• 47:01
  Speaker 7: I was asked on Newsmax yesterday, do we have the clip?
• 47:04
  Speaker 7: Did they ever send us the clip? Text the woman and.
• 47:06
  Speaker 8: Say, did they?
• 47:08
  Speaker 7: I mean, they may have pulled the clip down. I
• 47:09
  Speaker 7: said a couple of salacious things on Newsmax about lovely,
• 47:15
  Speaker 7: lighthearted Louise. But this is, as Kash Patel says, the
• 47:26
  Speaker 7: ultimate in hypocrisy because as a government official, you're supposed
• 47:31
  Speaker 7: to be making decisions based on what's good for your constituents.
• 47:35
  Speaker 7: And This former member of the Virginia Senate told me yesterday,
• 47:41
  Speaker 7: he said in the battle that really broke the straw
• 47:45
  Speaker 7: and drove him from the Democratic Party was an attempt
• 47:50
  Speaker 7: to get casino licenses. More syntax, right? Democrats will be Democrats.
• 47:58
  Speaker 7: And they wanted permits for casinos, and he wanted one,
• 48:03
  Speaker 7: go figure, in the area he represented. And she was
• 48:08
  Speaker 7: keeping any of those from coming to the Virginia Senate because,
• 48:12
  Speaker 7: as she told him, and I'm quoting him here, I
• 48:15
  Speaker 7: have to look out for my people. To which this
• 48:20
  Speaker 7: former Virginia senator said to Louise Lucas, these are your people.
• 48:24
  Speaker 7: I represent a black community. And she said, not my people,
• 48:28
  Speaker 7: my people. And he got the implications. She wasn't there
• 48:33
  Speaker 7: to defend the black community or the poor community or
• 48:36
  Speaker 7: the Portsmouth community. She was there to protect her people.
• 48:41
  Speaker 7: Like Tulsa King, only with better hair. I'm sure store-bought,
• 48:46
  Speaker 7: but that's okay. Nothing, no, I don't have anything wrong
• 48:50
  Speaker 7: with Sly Stallone and his look for Tulsa King. I
• 48:54
  Speaker 7: appreciate the cable TV-esque, you know, what would happen if
• 48:58
  Speaker 7: a New York mobster showed up in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I
• 49:01
  Speaker 7: get it. Tulsa, Oklahoma, by the way, home, is it
• 49:06
  Speaker 7: Tulsa or Oklahoma City? I know Oklahoma is home. I
• 49:09
  Speaker 7: think it's Tulsa. Home of city elders, where we are.
• 49:13
  Speaker 7: I forgot to mention, we've got 45 minutes into our
• 49:16
  Speaker 7: first hour, and I haven't mentioned that we're here. It's
• 49:19
  Speaker 7: Friday morning. and we're at our weekly get-together with City Elders, cityelders.org.
• 49:25
  Speaker 7: But this Louise Lucas story is exactly why City Elders exists,
• 49:31
  Speaker 7: because Louise Lucas is the standard-bearer for corrupt self-proclaimed involved self-aggrandizing,
• 49:43
  Speaker 7: unethical persons holding elected office. Now, you know that I'm
• 49:52
  Speaker 7: about fixes. You know how you fix this? Take this
• 49:57
  Speaker 7: kind of power away from the government. Don't give the
• 50:04
  Speaker 7: Virginia government or the U.S. government or the Colorado government
• 50:08
  Speaker 7: as people trying to bail the water out of Four
• 50:11
  Speaker 7: Corners or the California government this kind of authority, and
• 50:15
  Speaker 7: you won't get this kind of corruption because the corruption
• 50:19
  Speaker 7: will go where the decision-making goes. And the more you
• 50:24
  Speaker 7: try to control a marketplace, Andy just writes in, go
• 50:27
  Speaker 7: back to constitutional money. The corruption follows the power. You
• 50:45
  Speaker 7: take the power, and this was written into the pie.
• 50:48
  Speaker 7: This was written into the recipe by James Madison and
• 50:51
  Speaker 7: George Mason and a whole bunch of Virginians who understood
• 50:54
  Speaker 7: that a Virginian like Louise Lucas would come along one day,
• 51:00
  Speaker 7: probably because there were people like Louise Lucas at the time.
• 51:04
  Speaker 7: We like to pretend... that the people who founded this
• 51:09
  Speaker 7: nation were all angels who put their lira down or
• 51:14
  Speaker 7: liar down, or they may have had some lira, but
• 51:20
  Speaker 7: they put their lutes down and descended from Mount Olympus
• 51:25
  Speaker 7: to create this country. That's not what happened. And they
• 51:29
  Speaker 7: weren't all perfect people. Benjamin Franklin introduced Thomas Jefferson to
• 51:35
  Speaker 7: EI DuPont and said, hey, Why don't we buy all
• 51:38
  Speaker 7: of our black powder from him? He's my drinking buddy.
• 51:44
  Speaker 7: You don't think E.I. DuPont thought for a second, hey,
• 51:47
  Speaker 7: that's Ben Franklin. I'm going to go buy him a whiskey.
• 51:53
  Speaker 7: Is that corruption? What about anyone else who was making black?
• 51:57
  Speaker 7: There was a lot of people making black powder back then.
• 52:00
  Speaker 7: Could the U.S. government, no bidding, no FOIA requests or
• 52:05
  Speaker 7: anything like that. Corruption follows authority. The more authority you
• 52:10
  Speaker 7: give the government, the more corrupt it will be. It's
• 52:13
  Speaker 7: just a, you know, it could be correlation or causation,
• 52:17
  Speaker 7: post hoc, ergo propter hoc, but if you give people
• 52:21
  Speaker 7: lots of authority, it will corrupt them. Because people will
• 52:30
  Speaker 7: seek to push things their way, as Louise Lucas did.
• 52:38
  Speaker 7: For Louise, I think an orange jumpsuit is not going
• 52:41
  Speaker 7: to happen. I hate to tell you this. There are
• 52:43
  Speaker 7: seven people who will take the fall for Louise and say, oh, no.
• 52:48
  Speaker 7: That's why the tweet that Kash Patel read is important.
• 52:52
  Speaker 14: My name is Bobby.
• 52:53
  Speaker 12: I'm a veteran and lost my leg to a roadside bomb.
• 52:56

  Speaker 4: We help more than a million veterans every year as
• 53:39
