- 3:15Speaker 5: the Oval Office about that. They're expecting their new policy
- 3:19Speaker 5: decisions by 2 on Wednesday in the afternoon. Financial markets

- 4:00Speaker 5: been mailed out. Senator Mitch McConnell was back in the Capitol.
- 4:05Speaker 5: Former Senate Majority Leader 84 addressed reporters in the rotunda.

- 6:04Speaker 9: Hi, this is Bud Foster, co-host of Foster and Friends
- 6:07Speaker 9: and former Virginia Tech football coach. When I brought the
- 6:10Speaker 9: famed lunch pail to our team, it symbolized teamwork. The
- 6:13Speaker 9: word win stood for what's important now. The Lunch Pail
- 6:17Speaker 9: Defense Foundation realizes the importance of helping others. Our foundation
- 6:21Speaker 9: is a non-profit corporation that helps fund academic scholarship for
- 6:25Speaker 9: eligible high school students. Since 2009, the Lunch Pail Defense
- 6:29Speaker 9: Foundation has raised nearly $ 400, 000 and awarded over 40 individual scholarships.
- 6:35Speaker 9: We also support an organ transplant program in conjunction with
- 6:39Speaker 9: Duke University Medical Center. For information regarding corporate sponsorship or
- 6:43Speaker 9: becoming an individual supporter, log on to our site at lunchpaledefense.com.

- 7:01Speaker 10: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
- 7:05Speaker 10: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
- 7:07Speaker 11: It was MediShare that came through for us, and there
- 7:10Speaker 11: was no hassles.
- 7:11Speaker 12: There was no problem.
- 7:12Speaker 10: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
- 7:16Speaker 10: of such an incredible ministry.
- 7:17Speaker 13: MediShare is a biblical approach to health care where Christians
- 7:21Speaker 13: share each other's medical expenses.
- 7:23Speaker 6: MediShare is a family, a group of people that stick
- 7:28Speaker 6: with you through the hardest times of your life.
- 7:30Speaker 13: MediShare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over 30 years old.
- 7:35Speaker 13: And members have shared over $ 8 billion of each other's
- 7:38Speaker 13: medical bills.
- 7:39Speaker 14: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
- 7:41Speaker 14: You can focus on supporting other people.
- 7:43Speaker 15: MediShare is affordable.
- 7:45Speaker 13: MediShare is biblical.
- 7:46Speaker 16: MediShare is family.

- 8:04Speaker 4: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 4: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 4: I'm Dr.
- 8:14Speaker 12: Mitch.
- 8:14Speaker 4: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
- 8:20Speaker 4: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 8:24Speaker 4: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 8:28Speaker 4: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 8:33Speaker 4: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
- 8:39Speaker 4: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
- 8:43Speaker 4: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
- 8:47Speaker 4: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
- 8:52Speaker 4: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,

- 9:02Speaker 1: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
- 9:05Speaker 1: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.

- 9:17Speaker 1: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
- 9:21Speaker 1: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
- 9:26Speaker 1: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
- 9:29Speaker 1: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
- 9:33Speaker 1: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
- 9:38Speaker 1: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
- 9:42Speaker 1: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
- 9:46Speaker 1: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
- 9:53Speaker 1: Share this information with your friends and family.
- 9:59Speaker 18: Hi, everybody.
- 9:59Speaker 5: I'm Jack Hanson.
- 10:04Speaker 19: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 19: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:09Speaker 19: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 19: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 10:15Speaker 19: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
- 10:18Speaker 19: their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows them
- 10:21Speaker 19: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
- 10:24Speaker 19: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
- 10:27Speaker 19: the canines. We know dogs as our wonderful pets at home,
- 10:30Speaker 19: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving
- 10:34Speaker 19: work every day Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
- 10:36Speaker 19: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
- 10:39Speaker 19: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
- 10:42Speaker 19: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
- 10:45Speaker 19: trained roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
- 10:48Speaker 19: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
- 10:51Speaker 19: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
- 10:53Speaker 19: planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
- 10:59Speaker 16: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
- 11:01Speaker 12: Oh, yeah?
- 11:02Speaker 5: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 11:04Speaker 14: And now a speech.
- 11:07Speaker 2: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 11:10Speaker 5: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 13: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
- 11:15Speaker 15: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
- 11:18Speaker 15: somebody call me a ride.
- 11:19Speaker 16: Love that guy.
- 11:21Speaker 20: Me too.
- 11:21Speaker 6: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 11:24Speaker 6: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 11:29Speaker 21: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 11:31Speaker 21: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 11:35Speaker 21: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
- 11:40Speaker 21: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 11:42Speaker 21: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
- 11:46Speaker 21: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
- 11:52Speaker 21: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
- 11:55Speaker 21: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
- 11:58Speaker 21: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 12:01Speaker 21: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
- 12:04Speaker 21: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 12:08Speaker 21: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 12:11Speaker 21: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.

- 12:30Speaker 8: As a family member or friend, you may be the
- 12:32Speaker 8: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
- 12:35Speaker 8: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
- 12:41Speaker 8: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.

- 13:12Speaker 3: We didn't make talk radio. We made it better. First
- 13:16Speaker 3: Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 13:19Speaker 12: But I'm afraid of the Russians. I can't sleep at.
- 13:27Speaker 15: Night.
- 13:27Speaker 12: So afraid of the rush.
- 13:29Speaker 5: Bob in Moscow is hanging on the line. He said
- 13:31Speaker 5: the Internet service has been dodgy, so I want to
- 13:34Speaker 5: jump right to him there. I don't know if it's
- 13:37Speaker 5: drone attacks or what. I know pipelines have been hit
- 13:41Speaker 5: with some drones, but that's in the Middle East. Good morning, Bob.
- 13:43Speaker 5: What's on your mind, sir?
- 13:46Speaker 18: Hey, I just read where the United States now has
- 13:50Speaker 18: in orbit a space defense system. A weapon in space
- 13:55Speaker 18: that can help save U.S.
- 13:57Speaker 12: Troops.
- 13:59Speaker 5: Because we just put it there. We had it hidden
- 14:02Speaker 5: in a warehouse there. We've had some missile defense technology
- 14:08Speaker 5: in space for quite some time.
- 14:12Speaker 18: Right. But this is supposedly a weapon that can actually work.
- 14:20Speaker 18: Let's put it that way, it says.
- 14:24Speaker 5: And who is on the U.S.? Is this Russia Today?
- 14:27Speaker 5: Is this TASS? No, this is.
- 14:31Speaker 12: USA News.
- 14:32Speaker 18: This is Yahoo News. Top headline this morning.
- 14:35Speaker 5: Well, if Yahoo is saying it. I mean, I know
- 14:41Speaker 5: the story is that the Space Force has confirmed this
- 14:46Speaker 5: at the, was it yesterday or the day before? I
- 14:51Speaker 5: think the story was yesterday, but the conference was the
- 14:54Speaker 5: day before. It was Space Force confirming that there is–
- 14:59Speaker 5: Troy Mink is the person that's an on-orbit space control
- 15:07Speaker 5: weapon there. And I know that the reaction has been
- 15:11Speaker 5: plotsing and everything. Remember why Jack Kennedy told us we
- 15:15Speaker 5: needed to go to space? Does anyone remember the Rice–
- 15:19Speaker 5: university speech, why did Jack Kennedy say we had to
- 15:23Speaker 5: go to space to keep it from being governed by tyranny?
- 15:28Speaker 5: And so there we are. I mean, this is every
- 15:31Speaker 5: time somebody says, oh, when Trump announced Space Force, everyone
- 15:36Speaker 5: was like, oh, it's weaponization of space. Jack Kennedy himself
- 15:40Speaker 5: said we needed to be out there to make sure
- 15:43Speaker 5: that this new ocean remained free. I'm paraphrasing him here,
- 15:48Speaker 5: but it was his basic thing.
- 15:51Speaker 18: And one thing, think about it, drones are just like
- 15:54Speaker 18: those little objects from alien movies that would zip around
- 15:59Speaker 18: in space and kill people. That's what the drones are doing,
- 16:01Speaker 18: the same technology that we saw in movies probably back
- 16:06Speaker 18: in the late 70s, early 80s.
- 16:07Speaker 10: How much.
- 16:11Speaker 5: Between your home country right now and Ukraine, how much
- 16:15Speaker 5: is being conducted by drone versus how much is manpower?
- 16:21Speaker 18: Everything's, I'd say, 80%, 90%. The only manpower stuff that's
- 16:26Speaker 18: going on are the Russian forces trying to take all
- 16:31Speaker 18: the land on this side of the Dnipro River. So
- 16:35Speaker 18: basically all of Donetsk and Donbass and Luhansk Because if
- 16:42Speaker 18: they get all that land, which is what they've wanted
- 16:45Speaker 18: from the beginning, then they've got the river. Even if
- 16:50Speaker 18: NATO comes up to the river, there's still a river
- 16:53Speaker 18: between them and Russia. And that's Russia's ultimate goal, is
- 16:58Speaker 18: to get all the land. So the Dnipro River basically
- 17:03Speaker 18: separates Ukraine from Russia.
- 17:06Speaker 12: So there's a waterway.
- 17:09Speaker 18: Or the Black Sea that's going to separate Russia from Ukraine.
- 17:14Speaker 5: I'm curious about this because varying people say, oh, Russians
- 17:18Speaker 5: have lost their attitude towards this and Putin's in trouble
- 17:22Speaker 5: because the Russians, they don't care. What are the press
- 17:26Speaker 5: spinmeisters saying? Because I figure it this way, the harder
- 17:31Speaker 5: Pravda spins that everyone loves this, the more likely it
- 17:36Speaker 5: is that nobody loves it. What are they saying in
- 17:38Speaker 5: the press out there?
- 17:40Speaker 18: Well, they're not saying much, but I think what's going
- 17:44Speaker 18: on is what happened with the Vietnam War, where there
- 17:49Speaker 18: were so many American men that left the country and
- 17:53Speaker 18: went to Canada or Mexico not to be drafted into
- 17:57Speaker 18: the Vietnam War. I picture that as the same thing
- 18:01Speaker 18: that's going on right now as the war has gone on,
- 18:05Speaker 18: that there's more people leaving because of the same effect
- 18:08Speaker 18: that the Vietnam War had was, why are we there?
- 18:13Speaker 5: Okay. Well, that's kind of what I was wondering about there, Bob.
- 18:17Speaker 5: You doing all right?
- 18:19Speaker 18: Yeah, I'm doing good. But that's my analogy to it.
- 18:22Speaker 18: And Mitch McConnell, there's no way he just, he had
- 18:27Speaker 18: a stroke. I looked at the pictures, all the pictures
- 18:30Speaker 18: of him and his face. It looks like someone that
- 18:33Speaker 18: had a stroke because he's not all there. He's not attentive.
- 18:38Speaker 18: That blank stare is like someone that's either had a
- 18:42Speaker 18: stroke or has Alzheimer's or Parkinson's Alzheimer's.
- 18:47Speaker 5: Well, I know that people are like, well, what's with
- 18:49Speaker 5: the bruised hands? I said, that's where the IVs went in.
- 18:52Speaker 5: You know, anyone who's been in the hospital, you know,
- 18:54Speaker 5: and I have, you know, they usually either the elbow,
- 18:57Speaker 5: you know, the crux of the elbow or the hand
- 19:00Speaker 5: is where your IVs go in. So, of course, there's
- 19:03Speaker 5: bruising there.
- 19:06Speaker 18: And it's because of the porch. It's easier to put
- 19:09Speaker 18: IVs in the hand. But the question is, is why
- 19:12Speaker 18: did he need so many IVs if it was just
- 19:14Speaker 18: a little fall and he had... supposedly a low case
- 19:19Speaker 18: of pneumonia, you wouldn't need all those IDs.
- 19:22Speaker 12: There'd be no reason for it.
- 19:23Speaker 5: He doesn't say what preceded the fall because that's the
- 19:30Speaker 5: question nobody's asking out of politeness or they're afraid of
- 19:33Speaker 5: Elaine Chao or whatever because that's the question is what
- 19:38Speaker 5: happened right before the fall? It's just like Ted Kennedy.
- 19:43Speaker 5: What happened right before you fell? Oh, I had my
- 19:45Speaker 5: fourth shot of bourbon okay, well, all right, now we
- 19:48Speaker 5: know why you had a fall. But anyway, good stuff, Bob,
- 19:51Speaker 5: you have a good morning, sir Yep, bye And for
- 19:56Speaker 5: those who don't remember why we're in space And why
- 19:59Speaker 5: we have weapons out there Rice University, 1962, I believe.
- 20:09Speaker 2: For the eyes of the world now look into space,
- 20:13Speaker 2: to the moon and to the planets beyond. And we
- 20:18Speaker 2: have vowed that we shall not see it governed by
- 20:22Speaker 2: a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of
- 20:26Speaker 2: freedom and peace. We have vowed that we shall not
- 20:31Speaker 2: see space filled with weapons of mass destruction, but with
- 20:36Speaker 2: instruments of knowledge.
- 20:38Speaker 12: And understanding.
- 20:40Speaker 2: Yet the vows of this nation can only be fulfilled
- 20:45Speaker 2: if we in this nation are first and therefore we
- 20:49Speaker 2: intend to be first.
- 20:53Speaker 5: And just like a Navy armada there to invoke peace, yes,
- 20:57Speaker 5: you have to have guns.
- 20:58Speaker 2: In short, our leadership in science and industry, our hopes
- 21:03Speaker 2: for peace and security, Our obligations to ourselves, as well
- 21:08Speaker 2: as others, all require us to make this effort.
- 21:13Speaker 7: To solve these mysteries.
- 21:15Speaker 2: To solve them for the good.
- 21:16Speaker 5: Of all men.
- 21:18Speaker 2: And to become the world's leading spacefaring nation.
- 21:22Speaker 5: Spacefaring. Remember, this is a Navy guy. This is a
- 21:25Speaker 5: Navy guy who's looking at space. He even calls it
- 21:28Speaker 5: earlier in the Rice University speech, an oceaned. that the
- 21:34Speaker 5: United States needed to defend this ocean the way we
- 21:38Speaker 5: defended the oceans of Earth. And yes, if you're going
- 21:44Speaker 5: to defend peace, you need guns. Ask any of our
- 21:49Speaker 5: Second Amendment advocates that your ability to defend requires you

- 23:01Speaker 17: Hi, I'm Dr. Sandra Fay, President of the American Veterinary
- 23:05Speaker 17: Medical Association. With record heat, wildfires and hurricanes forecast this summer,
- 23:10Speaker 17: how do we keep our pets safe? No matter where
- 23:13Speaker 17: we live, the potential for natural or manmade disasters is
- 23:17Speaker 17: a possibility. So preparation is key. First, make sure to
- 23:22Speaker 17: have an evacuation plan mapped out in advance. Know where
- 23:25Speaker 17: you're going to go and how you're going to get there. Next,
- 23:29Speaker 17: Put together a pet emergency kit with several days food, medicine,
- 23:34Speaker 17: a first aid kit, and other essential items. Make sure
- 23:37Speaker 17: your pets are microchipped with updated contact information in case
- 23:41Speaker 17: you get separated. And be sure to have your pet's
- 23:44Speaker 17: vaccination and medical records plus contact info for your vet
- 23:48Speaker 17: and pharmacy. If you need help on how to prepare,
- 23:51Speaker 17: reach out to your veterinarian's office. And for more information,

- 24:03Speaker 4: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 24:07Speaker 4: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 24:13Speaker 4: I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18Speaker 4: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22Speaker 4: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26Speaker 4: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31Speaker 4: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 4: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer,
- 24:43Speaker 4: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
- 24:46Speaker 4: many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy
- 24:51Speaker 4: cells even from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to

- 25:57Speaker 8: Oh, yeah?
- 25:57Speaker 5: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 25:59Speaker 13: And now a speech.
- 26:02Speaker 2: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 26:06Speaker 5: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
- 26:08Speaker 19: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
- 26:10Speaker 15: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
- 26:13Speaker 15: somebody call me a ride.
- 26:15Speaker 11: Love that guy.
- 26:16Speaker 23: Me too.

- 26:26Speaker 21: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 26:30Speaker 21: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.

- 26:53Speaker 21: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a

- 28:11Speaker 3: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the talk media
- 28:15Speaker 3: network to.
- 28:17Speaker 11: I got more rhymes and the Bible's got songs.
- 28:20Speaker 5: And just like the prodigal son, I've returned. I came
- 28:23Speaker 5: to get down.
- 28:24Speaker 23: I came to get down.
- 28:25Speaker 14: So get out your.
- 28:25Speaker 5: Seat and jump around.
- 28:26Speaker 20: Jump around.
- 28:29Speaker 5: He is Tom Drops Bombs on YouTube. And, you know,
- 28:35Speaker 5: one of the hats you used to wear was a
- 28:37Speaker 5: member of the U.S. House of Representatives and heading into
- 28:40Speaker 5: the midterms and we start voting. On Friday, Tom, I
- 28:45Speaker 5: guess the question that consumes many people as, you know,
- 28:51Speaker 5: RNC convention, you know, midterm conventions and things like that,
- 28:55Speaker 5: all designed to gin up voter interest. What does a
- 29:00Speaker 5: congressperson have to do facing the midterms? He's got the
- 29:05Speaker 5: headwinds of, you know, the Save America Act Senate. won't,
- 29:11Speaker 5: you know, so everyone's mad at the Congress people who
- 29:13Speaker 5: voted for the SAVE Act, but it won't pass the Senate.
- 29:17Speaker 5: So it's somehow a congressman's fault because that'll help Hakeem
- 29:21Speaker 5: Jeffries get a majority. And they've got the situation with
- 29:26Speaker 5: the gas prices. What is the winning combination for somebody here?
- 29:33Speaker 12: Well, I think you, first of all, I hate it
- 29:36Speaker 12: when people try to change who they are to run
- 29:37Speaker 12: for reelection. Just tell the truth and be who you are.
- 29:40Speaker 12: If you're a voter, go vote for the person whose
- 29:42Speaker 12: values most frequently align with yours, right? Don't stay home
- 29:44Speaker 12: because that guy did that one thing. That's a recipe for,
- 29:49Speaker 12: I mean, I guess it's maybe a rationalization to be lazy,
- 29:51Speaker 12: but you're not going to get somebody that votes like
- 29:54Speaker 12: you 100% of the time unless you run. And so-
- 29:59Speaker 12: We've got to show up. I mean, in Virginia in particular,
- 30:02Speaker 12: we have the votes. They just seem to sit at
- 30:05Speaker 12: home on, you know, excuse me, the first Tuesday after
- 30:09Speaker 12: the first Monday in November. So we've got to get
- 30:12Speaker 12: out and vote. And then I think candidates tend to
- 30:15Speaker 12: overthink things, right? So just go be the person that
- 30:20Speaker 12: got elected in the first place, and it will maximize
- 30:22Speaker 12: your chances of getting elected in the second, third, and
- 30:23Speaker 12: fourth place. Or the 56th if you're Mitch McConnell.
- 30:27Speaker 5: Right. Hey, Mitch is back, you know, and looking fine.
- 30:34Speaker 5: Looking as healthy as any.
- 30:36Speaker 12: Yeah, electronics are amazing. It's like Disney World circa 1972.
- 30:42Speaker 5: It's the animatronics of the.
- 30:46Speaker 12: I'm kidding. I'm kidding for those of you who think
- 30:49Speaker 12: that Garrett's proposing that Mitch is from Westworld. I understand
- 30:53Speaker 12: that that's real Mitch.
- 30:55Speaker 5: Sure it is.
- 30:56Speaker 12: Sure, absolutely.
- 30:57Speaker 5: And he'll vote just the way to prove it. because
- 31:01Speaker 5: Elaine Chao's family in China doesn't have the technology capable
- 31:04Speaker 5: of fixing that for them either.
- 31:07Speaker 12: He would run faster and jump higher if he were
- 31:10Speaker 12: a Chinese robot.
- 31:12Speaker 5: So what do you think our voter turnout's going to
- 31:14Speaker 5: get to? Do you think we make it to 50% here,
- 31:16Speaker 5: even in Virginia?
- 31:17Speaker 22: Uh.
- 31:22Speaker 12: I don't know. I mean, I hope so. Obviously, the
- 31:26Speaker 12: first thing I thought when you said that was who
- 31:27Speaker 12: does a high voter turnout favor? I mean, well, it
- 31:32Speaker 12: would appear. Well, yeah, but I mean, I should put
- 31:33Speaker 12: my money where my mouth is. Right. I mean, what
- 31:35Speaker 12: I really want is for people to inform themselves. Right.
- 31:38Speaker 12: Did not suck in one. Not stream of media only,
- 31:42Speaker 12: but to suck in adverse media occasionally so that you
- 31:45Speaker 12: can strengthen your arguments if you disagree with it. You know,
- 31:47Speaker 12: and I'm weird because I've always enjoyed being wrong because
- 31:51Speaker 12: it means I can improve. You know, lucky for me,
- 31:54Speaker 12: I don't think I'm wrong all that often, but I'm
- 31:55Speaker 12: certainly wrong sometimes. And so you should get out there
- 31:58Speaker 12: and challenge yourself, inform yourself, drag your friends out to vote,
- 32:01Speaker 12: tell them why it matters. I think I really do
- 32:04Speaker 12: think that this I genuinely do that this midterm is it. Right.
- 32:08Speaker 12: Because if we lose the midterms and lose the House
- 32:10Speaker 12: and the Senate in particular, both you're going to it
- 32:12Speaker 12: will be an impeachment within a week and nothing will
- 32:15Speaker 12: happen good for the next two years. And they will
- 32:18Speaker 12: do everything they can. I mean, we flooded the zone
- 32:20Speaker 12: with 20 million illegals, not just to get illegal votes,
- 32:24Speaker 12: but also to put weight in. districts where um illegals
- 32:29Speaker 12: tend to live so you end up with a lot
- 32:31Speaker 12: more democrat congressional seats even if no illegals ever vote
- 32:35Speaker 12: um yeah and and these folks aren't dumb i mean
- 32:37Speaker 12: this is entirely intentional and biden policy was designed um
- 32:42Speaker 12: to to to ensure maximize democrat turnout and then ultimately
- 32:46Speaker 12: to solidify control for perpetuity so this matters and and
- 32:50Speaker 12: we can either show up or not i mean look
- 32:52Speaker 12: i i'm not here for here i'm here for the
- 32:54Speaker 12: next world so No matter what happens here, as long
- 32:57Speaker 12: as I do the best that I can. I'm not
- 32:59Speaker 12: even kidding.
- 33:00Speaker 5: No, I know you're not.
- 33:01Speaker 12: My job is to do the best I can with
- 33:04Speaker 12: what God's given me and to try to live in
- 33:06Speaker 12: a manner that maybe warrants a well-done, my good and
- 33:09Speaker 12: faithful servant one day. Beyond that, I mean, it's not
- 33:12Speaker 12: that I don't care. I certainly care. I put a
- 33:14Speaker 12: lot of time and energy into this. But, you know,
- 33:19Speaker 12: get your friends out to vote for golly, for goodness sake.
- 33:21Speaker 5: And I know that's your tag to everyone. Go vote.
- 33:24Speaker 5: And it should be. What what is a surprise outcome
- 33:28Speaker 5: from where you sit for the midterms? Just because it
- 33:33Speaker 5: starts now, we've got a long way to go to it.
- 33:36Speaker 5: What is a surprise outcome? Last question.
- 33:40Speaker 12: Well, so I'm going to build my surprise around the
- 33:43Speaker 12: media narrative. A surprise outcome is Republicans pick up a
- 33:45Speaker 12: seat in the House and hold the Senate. That's because
- 33:49Speaker 12: the media is telling us this is a fait accompli,
- 33:50Speaker 12: but they did that in 2016. And I was watching
- 33:55Speaker 12: very attentively the election returns that year, and everybody knew
- 34:01Speaker 12: Trump wasn't going to win. So I was so sure
- 34:03Speaker 12: I was going to win, and that I would get
- 34:06Speaker 12: to hang out with President Hillary Clinton, and that didn't happen. Yeah. Again,
- 34:10Speaker 12: I mean, it's like in the military, they say, you know,
- 34:12Speaker 12: no matter how good your plan is, the enemy gets
- 34:14Speaker 12: a vote. Well, no matter what the media tells us,
- 34:16Speaker 12: we still get to vote. I think that's that's it.
- 34:20Speaker 12: And the surprise outcome is good news.
- 34:22Speaker 5: Is the are the constitutional amendments the coattails people are
- 34:26Speaker 5: riding on? Because I get that impression that the Congress
- 34:30Speaker 5: candidates are riding the coattails of the constitutional amendment interest.
- 34:36Speaker 12: Well, I think in Virginia they were designed for that.
- 34:39Speaker 12: I think that they were designed for that. The left
- 34:41Speaker 12: will– I'll bet we get outspent three to one on
- 34:44Speaker 12: advocacy on the constitutional amendments. It could be worse. It
- 34:46Speaker 12: could be four or five to one. And that's designed
- 34:48Speaker 12: to turn out angry voters who aren't terribly well-informed, but
- 34:54Speaker 12: they're pretty sure that if these people– that they won't
- 34:57Speaker 12: be able to go get that abortion they were planning
- 34:59Speaker 12: on in six months. So– I think that's the game.
- 35:05Speaker 12: I think that's the double-edged sword, and we just need
- 35:09Speaker 12: to speak clearly and loudly and with truth, and we
- 35:12Speaker 12: might be surprised at the outcome in a good way.
- 35:14Speaker 5: Tom drops bombs on YouTube and delegate Tom Garrett on
- 35:18Speaker 5: Facebook and Instagram and TikTok and so many places. He
- 35:24Speaker 5: is as omnipresent on social media as Alexander Occasional Cortex is.
- 35:30Speaker 5: So I appreciate it, as always, squeezing a little time
- 35:32Speaker 5: out for us, Tom. And you have a great morning, sir.
- 35:36Speaker 12: God bless you, man. And remember, when you're at the
- 35:38Speaker 12: 9-11 memorial ceremony, don't tell jokes and laugh.
- 35:44Speaker 5: Yeah, good point. Good tip. Good tip. I'm thinking, hold it.
- 35:49Speaker 5: Does Tom not realize that that was a lot of jokes?
- 35:53Speaker 5: Zafod mad money. But more dire than that is this
- 35:57Speaker 5: coalition of the damned that he has created, a cabal
- 36:02Speaker 5: of cities going after ICE's authority, trying to challenge whether
- 36:10Speaker 5: Immigrations and Customs Enforcement have the authority to come into
- 36:14Speaker 5: their cities and enforce the laws. And I again go
- 36:20Speaker 5: back to Selma, Alabama. I go back to the University
- 36:25Speaker 5: of Alabama. I go back to George Wallace. At some point,
- 36:31Speaker 5: it is a civil right to make sure that my
- 36:35Speaker 5: rights are not being infringed by somebody who's just insistent
- 36:43Speaker 5: on being here because they were told there's money here
- 36:47Speaker 5: for them. The authority is that the federal government can ask,
- 36:52Speaker 5: do you have a means of support? Can you support
- 36:58Speaker 5: yourself when you get here? And we act like, oh,
- 37:03Speaker 5: you can't ask that. Oh, no, no, you can't ask that. Well,
- 37:06Speaker 5: now we can't, and now we see the fruit of it.
- 37:11Speaker 5: This one, so how did all the Democrats get in?
- 37:14Speaker 5: In the General Immigration Act of 1882, had levied a
- 37:18Speaker 5: head tax of 50 cents on each immigrant and blocked
- 37:22Speaker 5: or excluded the entry of idiots, lunatics, convicts, and persons
- 37:27Speaker 5: likely to become a public charge. Yeah, this is why
- 37:40Speaker 5: we have fallen apart. And you say, well, that's not fair.
- 37:45Speaker 5: Why is it not fair? Why is it not fair
- 37:48Speaker 5: to every remaining taxpayer in the United States to say,
- 37:54Speaker 5: you know, we're respecting your ability to pay for yourself.
- 37:57Speaker 5: We're not going to ask you to pay for someone
- 37:59Speaker 5: else unless you want to.
- 38:04Speaker 15: Hi, I'm Mark Falter with the Financial Fitness Show. Have

- 40:02Speaker 23: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
- 40:05Speaker 23: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
- 40:09Speaker 23: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
- 40:14Speaker 3: Oh, yes!
- 40:16Speaker 15: Yes!
- 40:16Speaker 23: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
- 40:21Speaker 23: favorite form of ear candy.
- 40:23Speaker 12: Oh, my.
- 40:24Speaker 23: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
- 40:28Speaker 10: Shh.
- 40:29Speaker 11: Do you smell that?
- 40:32Speaker 23: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is goodwill.
- 40:39Speaker 5: And with every item.
- 40:40Speaker 23: You buy, you fund local job training and more. So
- 40:44Speaker 23: go forth. Bring home those donut earrings and bring home
- 40:49Speaker 23: so much good to your community.
- 40:54Speaker 12: Goodwill.
- 40:55Speaker 23: Bring good home.
- 40:58Speaker 14: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
- 41:03Speaker 14: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
- 41:08Speaker 14: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
- 41:12Speaker 14: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
- 41:15Speaker 14: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.

- 41:24Speaker 14: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
- 41:28Speaker 14: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
- 41:33Speaker 14: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
- 41:36Speaker 14: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.

- 42:56Speaker 23: Sure.

- 43:03Speaker 5: I can probably swim.
- 43:05Speaker 11: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
- 43:08Speaker 23: Okay, don't tell me what to do.

- 43:27Speaker 16: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
- 43:29Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
- 43:35Speaker 11: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking

- 44:11Speaker 3: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 44:18Speaker 2: For space science, like nuclear science and all technology, has
- 44:23Speaker 2: no conscience of its own. Whether it will become a
- 44:27Speaker 2: force for good or ill depends on man.
- 44:31Speaker 5: You know, for everyone who says that I'm weird because
- 44:36Speaker 5: I say that, When we talk about data centers, when
- 44:40Speaker 5: we talk about artificial intelligence, when we talk about guns,
- 44:45Speaker 5: when we talk about drugs, these are inanimate objects until
- 44:55Speaker 5: somebody uses them for something. And right there, that's Rice University, 1962.
- 44:59Speaker 5: Just about this time, wasn't it? Wasn't it like September 12th, 1962?
- 45:06Speaker 5: I only note that because there's a proximity to my
- 45:10Speaker 5: birthday of it. But it's mid-September of 1962. Rice University
- 45:17Speaker 5: says that we will go to the moon this decade
- 45:20Speaker 5: and do the other things. Speech. And it came up
- 45:24Speaker 5: because Bob brought up the Yahoo News, the Space Force
- 45:28Speaker 5: guy said, yeah, we've got a weapon up there. And
- 45:31Speaker 5: everyone's lost their bowel control over it. Go back to
- 45:35Speaker 5: Jack's speech, JFK.
- 45:39Speaker 2: For space science, like nuclear science and all technology, has
- 45:44Speaker 2: no conscience of its own. Whether it will become a
- 45:48Speaker 2: force for good or ill depends on man. And only
- 45:52Speaker 2: if the United States occupies a position of preeminence can
- 45:59Speaker 2: we help decide whether this new ocean... will be a
- 46:04Speaker 2: sea of peace or a new terrifying theater of war.
- 46:09Speaker 5: So you see, you know, what he's saying is that
- 46:12Speaker 5: we need to be out there, but he gets more specific.
- 46:16Speaker 2: I do not say that we should or will go
- 46:19Speaker 2: unprotected against the hostile misuse of space any more than
- 46:24Speaker 2: we go unprotected against the hostile use of land or sea.
- 46:30Speaker 2: But I do say that space can be explored and
- 46:33Speaker 2: mastered without feeding the fires of war, without repeating the
- 46:38Speaker 2: mistakes that man has made in extending his writ around
- 46:42Speaker 2: this globe of ours.
- 46:43Speaker 5: These are the parts of the speech nobody ever plays anymore.
- 46:50Speaker 5: Nobody ever plays because it doesn't make the whole, oh,
- 46:53Speaker 5: you didn't have weapons in space stuff. These are the
- 46:56Speaker 5: same people who say we shouldn't have guns, except for
- 47:00Speaker 5: all the bad guys who have guns. But if we
- 47:03Speaker 5: don't have guns, they'll feel guilty, I guess, is what
- 47:06Speaker 5: they'll say. They're like, oh, well, they're unarmed. I guess
- 47:08Speaker 5: we won't do bad things to them. Because that's worked
- 47:12Speaker 5: in places like Darfur, correct? So Kennedy said, sure, we're
- 47:19Speaker 5: going to have weapons in space.
- 47:21Speaker 22: Why?
- 47:22Speaker 5: Because we need to defend space against the people who
- 47:25Speaker 5: who would want to weaponize it. So Maureen writes in,
- 47:28Speaker 5: you played the absolute perfect spot where he says no
- 47:34Speaker 5: weapons of mass destruction. Didn't Trump's administration just admit we
- 47:39Speaker 5: have a weapon of mass destruction? Well, Maureen, that's why
- 47:41Speaker 5: I wanted to play the rest of this for you.
- 47:47Speaker 5: Because he says, yeah, we're going to have weapons out
- 47:50Speaker 5: here because you need to have weapons. Our naval ships
- 47:53Speaker 5: have weapons. don't they?
- 47:55Speaker 2: I do not say that we should or will go. Unprotected.
- 48:02Speaker 5: Unprotected.
- 48:03Speaker 2: Against the hostile misuse of space any more than we
- 48:07Speaker 2: go unprotected. Against the hostile use of land or sea.
- 48:13Speaker 5: And you don't like it, maybe, because I'm using Jack
- 48:16Speaker 5: Kennedy to defend Donald Trump. Okay. I mean, I understand
- 48:24Speaker 5: the The Feeling. This one comes in. Joe, did Jack
- 48:36Speaker 5: Kennedy see any of the Nazi horrible research? What's the
- 48:42Speaker 5: Mort Sahl quip about the rocket scientist whose autobiography is
- 48:52Speaker 5: Shoot for the Stars? Yeah, but sometimes you hit London. Yeah,
- 49:00Speaker 5: we looked the other way when Nazis came in. Von Braun, yeah,
- 49:09Speaker 5: Werner Von Braun. Sometimes I shoot for the stars. I
- 49:14Speaker 5: shoot for the stars, but sometimes I hit London. Because
- 49:26Speaker 5: these are massive machines that can do grave harm or
- 49:30Speaker 5: grave good. So do you want Wernher von Braun going
- 49:34Speaker 5: to work for the Soviets? He was just looking to
- 49:38Speaker 5: get out of Nazi Germany, as were a lot of people.
- 49:49Speaker 5: Seeley writes in to 4348824217 on our earlier subject, which
- 49:55Speaker 5: was the midterms. A lot of these races this November
- 49:58Speaker 5: are going to be really close. Let's organize a nationwide
- 50:01Speaker 5: get out the vote volunteer organization to make calls the
- 50:06Speaker 5: week before the election. Democrats got cheat to win. And
- 50:10Speaker 5: the only thing the good guys got is turnout. You
- 50:14Speaker 5: know who is going to be good for that, Celie?
- 50:17Speaker 5: And I don't know what your reaction are to these organizations,
- 50:22Speaker 5: but I know for a fact Americans for Prosperity has
- 50:27Speaker 5: been doing a lot of this. And if we can
- 50:29Speaker 5: tap into that, I know here in our flagship state
- 50:33Speaker 5: and also in Pennsylvania, they're very, very active in the
- 50:37Speaker 5: get out the vote. And what we have to do
- 50:40Speaker 5: is part of get out the vote is get out
- 50:43Speaker 5: the narrative. John writes in, I understand that people need
- 50:54Speaker 5: to get out and vote, and I try to stress
- 50:56Speaker 5: that to any friends that I come across. However, the
- 50:58Speaker 5: administration's inability to articulate a cognizant message on different subjects
- 51:04Speaker 5: is astounding. They seem to default to showmanship and belittling.
- 51:08Speaker 5: That does not bring people to the polls. I think
- 51:11Speaker 5: we're in a really sad situation right now. I need
- 51:15Speaker 5: a specific, you know, because there are, and I'm not
- 51:19Speaker 5: an apologist for, but the accusation is that they don't
- 51:23Speaker 5: have a message. You know, if you mean the Republicans
- 51:27Speaker 5: don't have a message, sure, I can cop to that.
- 51:30Speaker 5: When you listen to these people talk about not being
- 51:33Speaker 5: able to support things like the Save America Act, I
- 51:36Speaker 5: get what you're saying. But it seemed pretty clear when
- 51:39Speaker 5: they put that message out. I mean, maybe you're talking
- 51:43Speaker 5: about drill, baby, drill versus refine, baby, refine. But the
- 51:50Speaker 5: world is one of those places where Iran is going
- 51:57Speaker 5: to do what it's doing. And President Trump is, I think,
- 52:01Speaker 5: trying to avoid a harsh discussion on it. I'm not.
- 52:07Speaker 5: I don't see any of the big issues right now,
- 52:10Speaker 5: such as AI, the war, and gas prices getting any better.
- 52:15Speaker 5: That's because, to me anyway, if you let the left,
- 52:19Speaker 5: if you let MSNOW or ABC or CBS define what
- 52:24Speaker 5: the discussion is, first and foremost, AI needs to stay
- 52:30Speaker 5: in the United States. Data centers need to stay in
- 52:33Speaker 5: the United States. We've been dancing around this war for
- 52:38Speaker 5: 200 years with radical Islam. So we're having it, finally.
- 52:44Speaker 5: And the gas prices still aren't as high as they
- 52:46Speaker 5: were under Biden. Anyway, until tomorrow, so long and thanks
- 52:49Speaker 5: for all the fish.
