  Speaker 12: of the important parts of TSO is that every ticket

  Speaker 12: that is sold gives a dollar to a local charity.
• 1:22

  Speaker 8: And it's accumulated.
• 1:38
  Speaker 13: It's built over $ 20 million across North America and You know,

  Speaker 8: Food banks.
• 1:51
  Speaker 13: It's just amazing how many people and how many different
• 1:55
  Speaker 13: types of people and organizations that we've helped along the way. But, hey,
• 1:59
  Speaker 13: you know, it's something you don't really think about at
• 2:01
  Speaker 13: the time. But when you see the number as it's
• 2:04
  Speaker 13: grown over all these years, you begin to realize it.
• 2:08
  Speaker 13: just this small gesture, this, this little idea, this pay
• 2:12
  Speaker 13: it forward idea that Paul had has really just affected
• 2:15
  Speaker 13: so many people and helped so many people. And, you know,
• 2:18
  Speaker 13: like his music, I mean, you know, there's a lot
• 2:21
  Speaker 13: of people that music is, is the life for a
• 2:25
  Speaker 13: lot of people.
• 2:25
  Speaker 8: It's therapy for a lot of people.
• 2:27
  Speaker 13: And Paul was able to, to deliver it on both ends,
• 2:30
  Speaker 13: you know, just, just obviously monetarily helping out, but also
• 2:34
  Speaker 13: emotionally and, And just for your enjoyment to enjoy, you know,

• 3:11
  Speaker 12: things this morning, war crimes. UN, since March 2nd, has
• 3:16
  Speaker 12: been asked to look into war crimes, and so far
• 3:19
  Speaker 12: all they've been able to do is issue a statement saying,
• 3:21
  Speaker 12: could be, we don't know. But the UN issued this
• 3:25
  Speaker 12: just the Friday before Donald Trump and the world leaders
• 3:30
  Speaker 12: will be descending on New York City to park illegally
• 3:33
  Speaker 12: and ignore parking tickets as they do at the United Nations.

  Speaker 12: 80s all over again. Russia and China vetoed a U.S.
• 3:59
  Speaker 12: resolution in the U.N. Security Council over extending monitoring of
• 4:06
  Speaker 12: nuclear program sanctions in Iran. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has

• 4:33
  Speaker 12: 30 days' notice before making any physical changes to the building,
• 4:37
  Speaker 12: including demolishing it. This was brought forth by activists who
• 4:41
  Speaker 12: were concerned that the venue, losing money for decades before

• 5:36
  Speaker 12: was blocked by the Kentucky Republican, warning that Congress risked
• 5:40
  Speaker 12: moving too quickly on technology they don't understand. And speaking of,
• 5:45

• 8:09
  Speaker 16: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 8:14
  Speaker 16: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long

  Speaker 18: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the

• 13:35
  Speaker 12: The first Trans-Siberian Orchestra album came out, the first thing
• 13:39
  Speaker 12: that struck me was that the song everyone loved, Christmas
• 13:42
  Speaker 12: Eve Sarajevo, so it's a gut punch, it's a great story,
• 13:46
  Speaker 12: but that was my favorite song, and it was like,
• 13:48
  Speaker 12: what song is that? Now it's the end of the show,
• 13:51
  Speaker 12: it's the curtain call, it's the bring down the house,
• 13:54
  Speaker 12: it's playing Stairway to Heaven, it's the whole point of
• 13:58
  Speaker 12: the whole thing going on there, Jeff Plate is visiting
• 14:01
  Speaker 12: with us, he's on the phone, but usually on the phone,
• 14:04
  Speaker 12: but stop by to visit with us. We're on location
• 14:07
  Speaker 12: at an amazing event space called Common Ground in Fishersville, Virginia,
• 14:12
  Speaker 12: where former Lieutenant Governor Winsome Sears is going to be
• 14:15
  Speaker 12: out here later today talking about this constitutional amendment on abortion.
• 14:21
  Speaker 12: But our friend Kareem is in person with us. He
• 14:24
  Speaker 12: stopped by here on location in our Big Ridge Guns
• 14:28
  Speaker 12: and Ammo On location studio, I'm embarrassed. I was probably
• 14:31
  Speaker 12: looking at it saying, I thought.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: It would be bigger. How are you doing, Kareem? Good
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: to meet you.
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: Thank you. It's good to be here.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Hello, everybody.
• 14:38
  Speaker 23: Honestly, Joe's taller than I expected in person.
• 14:41
  Speaker 12: I haven't gotten out of my chair yet, so I'm
• 14:43
  Speaker 12: not sure how he knows that.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: But good to see you. So no driving the truck today?
• 14:48
  Speaker 8: Oh, no, it's parked outside. That's why I can only
• 14:51
  Speaker 8: stop it for a minute.
• 14:52
  Speaker 12: He's got deliveries to make. Don't tell the people who
• 14:55
  Speaker 12: are expecting him to arrive here. So we were talking,
• 14:59
  Speaker 12: and I know you probably have some thoughts on these
• 15:01
  Speaker 12: war crimes. And I'm not against having a tribunal that
• 15:07
  Speaker 12: looks into war crimes because certainly you could make the
• 15:10
  Speaker 12: case that war is a crime. And I want America,
• 15:14
  Speaker 12: I want the United States doing things righteously and for
• 15:17
  Speaker 12: the beliefs that we have. But when you've had since
• 15:20
  Speaker 12: March 2nd to– You know, after Iran said, oh.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: You blow up a school with a missile. I remember
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: you called me about it.
• 15:28
  Speaker 12: You know, the missile strike at the school, which then
• 15:31
  Speaker 12: turned out to be a former military base that they
• 15:34
  Speaker 12: had turned into a school like six months ago.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: And you've had.
• 15:39
  Speaker 12: Since March 2nd. And all you can do is say, well,
• 15:41
  Speaker 12: I mean, there could be. You know, that annoys me
• 15:45
  Speaker 12: because that seems to be your your I don't know
• 15:47
  Speaker 12: if you were on vacation all summer, if you're the
• 15:50
  Speaker 12: Human Rights Commission. After March 2nd, you should be able
• 15:53
  Speaker 12: to come up with something a little more. You should
• 15:54
  Speaker 12: have said on March 2nd, we'll look into what it
• 15:57
  Speaker 12: could be. And by now, we should have some answer,
• 16:00
  Speaker 12: don't you think?
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: Agreed.
• 16:02
  Speaker 23: The way we live and where we live in society
• 16:04
  Speaker 23: in the world, the way we are now, if we
• 16:05
  Speaker 23: look back, unpleasantness. We have an efficient, strong, and best-equipped
• 16:11
  Speaker 23: military in the world. But if we look back, let's
• 16:14
  Speaker 23: say the Mylite Massacre. People watched that. Journalists recorded it.
• 16:19
  Speaker 23: They photographed it. But then it was months before that
• 16:22
  Speaker 23: information got out. Well, here we have live feed from
• 16:26
  Speaker 23: people on the ground, their cell phones and such, recording
• 16:28
  Speaker 23: the incidents and putting out. So six months?
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the part that bugs me.
• 16:34
  Speaker 12: It's not that you're out there looking, but come on,
• 16:36
  Speaker 12: you can do better than that, than just a political
• 16:38
  Speaker 12: hit that, as Bob in Moscow said, is really patently, obviously,
• 16:42
  Speaker 12: just trying to.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Taint the midterm switch. Have you voted yet, by the way?
• 16:46
  Speaker 24: No.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Polls have been open for 22 minutes here in Virginia.
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: I think we have 45 days.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Actually, no, I don't think the polls have been open.
• 16:57
  Speaker 12: Because it's at the registrar's office, it's normal business hours.
• 17:00
  Speaker 12: So it's like 9 to 5 or 8 to 4.
• 17:03
  Speaker 12: So you check with your local register. But vote early,
• 17:06
  Speaker 12: vote often. That's the way we do it here in Virginia.
• 17:09
  Speaker 12: Got to have time to fill all those absentee ballot
• 17:11
  Speaker 12: baskets with With ballots.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: But it's good to see you. Where are you off
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: to this morning?
• 17:15
  Speaker 8: Heading down to Roanoke. And then hopefully back home for
• 17:19
  Speaker 8: a nice weekend.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: The Star City. Beautiful town. We used to have a
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: great affiliate there. I'd love to get back on.
• 17:24
  Speaker 12: Is it the Fox, WKFX or something, or JFX down there.
• 17:32
  Speaker 12: Used to be on there years and years ago in
• 17:35
  Speaker 12: another iteration of my life. But good folks down there
• 17:38
  Speaker 12: in Roanoke, hardworking, sad about the railways. But they still–
• 17:43
  Speaker 12: I mean, we still ride the rails every now and then,
• 17:45
  Speaker 12: so it's not too bad.
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: Joe, I've got to go.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Thanks for taking me. No, not at all. I appreciate it. Kareem,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: dropping by in person.
• 17:52
  Speaker 12: And if you're in the neighborhood, wherever we are, whether
• 17:55
  Speaker 12: it's CPAC or Freedom Fest or the Flight 93 Memorial,
• 18:00
  Speaker 12: on the road again this morning. I can't believe it's
• 18:02
  Speaker 12: been a week since we're out there. Now, as I said, JoeThomasInTheMorning.com.
• 18:07
  Speaker 12: Take the link. You'll see a list of shows where
• 18:10
  Speaker 12: this show is heard. Cities of Congruence, where you can
• 18:14
  Speaker 12: hear First Thing Today by Joe Thomas and see Trans-Siberian
• 18:18
  Speaker 12: Orchestra in concert. We'll do some drawings coming up. Like
• 18:22
  Speaker 12: I said, tickets to the general population go on sale
• 18:26
  Speaker 12: at 10 Eastern this morning through LiveNation.com. Founding member of
• 18:30
  Speaker 12: the band, their drummer, Jeff Plate, is on the Newsmakers
• 18:34
  Speaker 12: line with us. And, Jeff, I appreciate you taking some
• 18:38
  Speaker 12: time out to give us a look behind the scenes
• 18:41
  Speaker 12: in the creating of all of this fun and frolic
• 18:45
  Speaker 12: that we come to see every year.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: My family does anyway. He's got the best seat, not.
• 18:54
  Speaker 12: Off the stage, in the house as the drummer for
• 18:57
  Speaker 12: Trans-Siberian Orchestra. And he's been with them 30 years plus.
• 19:02
  Speaker 12: And I appreciate you kind of sharing that mindset of
• 19:06
  Speaker 12: the first time Paul said, hey, we're going to do this.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Let's do this.
• 19:13
  Speaker 12: Technically, I know that there is an existence of Christmas
• 19:17
  Speaker 12: Eve Sarajevo in the world under the brand name Sabotage.
• 19:22
  Speaker 12: I guess it was on a Sabotage album. And then
• 19:27
  Speaker 12: I'm not sure if Paul was connected to it and
• 19:30
  Speaker 12: probably produced it as he produced so many amazing artists
• 19:33
  Speaker 12: like Aerosmith and Trans-Siberian Orchestra that he invented. Was that
• 19:39
  Speaker 12: song sort of a seed that said we could do
• 19:42
  Speaker 12: more uh with this um jeff that that that began
• 19:47
  Speaker 12: that began this ride.
• 19:50
  Speaker 13: I think without knowing you know paul began working with
• 19:53
  Speaker 13: sabotage in 1986 so so he was like he came
• 19:58
  Speaker 13: in as their producer and then he began songwriting with
• 20:01
  Speaker 13: john oliva and chris oliva and then he you know
• 20:04
  Speaker 13: took over the writing the lyrics and the concepts and Sabotage,
• 20:08
  Speaker 13: Hall of the Mountain King, Gutter Ballet, Streets of Rock Opera,
• 20:11
  Speaker 13: Edge of Thorns. If you listen to these records that
• 20:14
  Speaker 13: Paul worked on with Sabotage, you can hear the hints
• 20:18
  Speaker 13: of TSO. If you look at some of the old videos,
• 20:21
  Speaker 13: you can see little hints of what TSO is visually.
• 20:25
  Speaker 13: Christmas Eve Cerebral 1224 was a song that Paul really
• 20:30
  Speaker 13: felt strongly about. Dead Winter Dead was a concept record
• 20:34
  Speaker 13: about the.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: War in Bosnia.
• 20:37
  Speaker 13: And the song is based on a real person, a
• 20:40
  Speaker 13: cellist that used to sit in the rubble of Sarajevo
• 20:43
  Speaker 13: and play his cello, mourning the destruction and the crazy
• 20:47
  Speaker 13: that was going on in his city at that time.
• 20:50
  Speaker 25: Yes.
• 20:51
  Speaker 13: So Paul had something that he really believed in. You know,
• 20:55
  Speaker 13: I don't know if he knew it was a hit song,
• 20:58
  Speaker 13: but to think that it was going to become what
• 21:00
  Speaker 13: it became.
• 21:01
  Speaker 22: Cultural.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Cultural.
• 21:03
  Speaker 8: Yes, but that was his.
• 21:07
  Speaker 13: Vehicle to create the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I mean, you've mentioned
• 21:12
  Speaker 13: Broadway a couple of times. Paul was a New York
• 21:15
  Speaker 13: City guy.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: He loved Broadway.
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: He loved theater.
• 21:18
  Speaker 13: He loved all this element of performance and production. He
• 21:23
  Speaker 13: wanted to create this super group, all these musicians covering
• 21:26
  Speaker 13: all this different type of music. multiple singers multiple characters
• 21:34
  Speaker 13: stories and then put that in front of this or
• 21:37
  Speaker 13: underneath this huge production i mean this was kind of
• 21:39
  Speaker 13: his dream and that's that song allowed that dream to
• 21:44
  Speaker 13: become a reality and i mean here we are 30
• 21:46
  Speaker 13: years later and i'll say it over again i think
• 21:50
  Speaker 13: paul was the only guy in the room at the
• 21:52
  Speaker 13: time that could see down the road as to what
• 21:55
  Speaker 13: was right potentially going to happen we were all kind
• 21:58
  Speaker 13: of like scratching our heads like.
• 22:01

• 22:08

  Speaker 25: week's time. But here's the thing, that 150 minutes does

  Speaker 5: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, indeed. If we're going to be self-governing, we need
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: to be self-governing. It's a phrase I'm trying to copyright.
• 28:41
  Speaker 12: Ask our friend Celia at MesaVertiHemp.com how that goes.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: 434-882-4217.
• 28:48
  Speaker 12: Jeff Plate from TSO, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, had to run, but
• 28:53
  Speaker 12: he's going to come back because I have some nerdy
• 28:56
  Speaker 12: question I want to ask him because they just finished
• 28:58
  Speaker 12: a world tour that had interesting places, but I want
• 29:02
  Speaker 12: to ask him about it.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: He's coming back.
• 29:04
  Speaker 12: Victoria Cobb from the Family Foundation is going to join us.
• 29:08
  Speaker 12: And on the subject of being self-governing, one of the
• 29:10
  Speaker 12: most important organizations, they tend to blanch from the public
• 29:17
  Speaker 12: eye sometimes, is the crisis pregnancy centers. And Autumn Christensen
• 29:27
  Speaker 12: is on with us. She's the executive director of HerPlan.
• 29:31
  Speaker 12: They call themselves America's pro-life safety net organization. and has
• 29:35
  Speaker 12: worked very hard in the world of crisis. pregnancy centers. Autumn,
• 29:42
  Speaker 12: thank you for joining us. How are you doing this morning?
• 29:45
  Speaker 27: Doing great. Happy to have a chance to.
• 29:47
  Speaker 13: Chat with you.
• 29:49
  Speaker 12: Well, we have a special guest coming up here. We're
• 29:52
  Speaker 12: on location with a group called City Elders. And I
• 29:55
  Speaker 12: tell folks they're in eight different states right now. If
• 29:58
  Speaker 12: you don't have a city elders group where you are.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Start one.
• 30:02
  Speaker 12: Because they're about putting ethically modeled people into elected office
• 30:07
  Speaker 12: and into the leadership positions in our communities. But one
• 30:10
  Speaker 12: of those places is the crisis pregnancy centers that help
• 30:15
  Speaker 12: women make the right choices there. Winsome Sears is out
• 30:19
  Speaker 12: campaigning against Virginia's horrific and lied about a constitutional amendment
• 30:25
  Speaker 12: that not only would enshrine abortion into our constitution, it
• 30:31
  Speaker 12: would also allow the state to go after any providers
• 30:35
  Speaker 12: that didn't provide an abortion. And I feel like this
• 30:37
  Speaker 12: is targeting crisis pregnancy centers. Autumn, talk about your work there.
• 30:44
  Speaker 12: I mean, you were on the Hill for 15 years.
• 30:46
  Speaker 12: Do you feel like you're more impactful now that you're
• 30:48
  Speaker 12: not working in Washington, D.C., actually out on the street
• 30:52
  Speaker 12: with your Her Plan organization?
• 30:58
  Speaker 28: Sure, yes.
• 30:59
  Speaker 27: You know, I did spend many years working on Capitol
• 31:02
  Speaker 27: Hill and working in public policy, lobbying for the rights
• 31:06
  Speaker 27: of the unborn. And that is an important component. Virginia
• 31:10
  Speaker 27: is up against a tremendous challenge with this terrible ballot
• 31:16
  Speaker 27: initiative this fall. What I truly believe and the reason
• 31:21
  Speaker 27: that we founded Her Plan is that we have a
• 31:23
  Speaker 27: responsibility definitely always to fight for the legal rights of
• 31:29
  Speaker 27: the unborn, but then also to meet the resource needs
• 31:32
  Speaker 27: of women who are considering an abortion. And one thing
• 31:36
  Speaker 27: that really drives us is research that shows 60% of
• 31:41
  Speaker 27: of women who have had an abortion said if at
• 31:44
  Speaker 27: the time they had had access to more resources, they
• 31:48
  Speaker 27: would have chosen life. So that means of the 1.1
• 31:51
  Speaker 27: million abortions a year in the United States, we have
• 31:54
  Speaker 27: the potential to respond to over 600,000 of them. So
• 32:00
  Speaker 27: our organization is all about helping people build a pro-life
• 32:03
  Speaker 27: safety net. There's a place for every one of your
• 32:05
  Speaker 27: listeners to support women in their communities.
• 32:07
  Speaker 12: What is the web address before we get too far
• 32:10
  Speaker 12: afield because you've opened up six or seven directions I
• 32:12
  Speaker 12: want to ask you about, but how do people find
• 32:14
  Speaker 12: you online?
• 32:16
  Speaker 27: Absolutely. So if you go to herplan.org, so herplan, all
• 32:21
  Speaker 27: one word,. org, we have a quiz right across the
• 32:23
  Speaker 27: top that you can take to find your place in
• 32:26
  Speaker 27: the pro-life safety net and how you can help local moms.
• 32:29
  Speaker 12: You brought up the legal rights, and we discovered, thanks
• 32:32
  Speaker 12: to an alert listener yesterday, and I have published the
• 32:35
  Speaker 12: full text of the constitutional amendment that I believe is
• 32:38
  Speaker 12: a template. This is a trial balloon here in Virginia.
• 32:41
  Speaker 12: I'm sure that the abortionists want to pass this in
• 32:46
  Speaker 12: purple Virginia, and then it'll roll out all across every
• 32:50
  Speaker 12: blue state, New York, Connecticut, California, you name it. It's
• 32:54
  Speaker 12: come in Portland. I mean, I'm sure they've already got
• 32:56
  Speaker 12: it written. But one of my listeners pointed out that, yes,
• 33:01
  Speaker 12: the language is deceptive because the ballot that we're beginning
• 33:05
  Speaker 12: to vote on this morning doesn't belie what's in the
• 33:09
  Speaker 12: actual law, but it's an amendment to our Constitution's due
• 33:14
  Speaker 12: process law. And so it's admitting to me that an
• 33:21
  Speaker 12: abortion violates a baby's due process under law as a person.
• 33:26
  Speaker 12: Am I wrong about that? Is my listener wrong about it?
• 33:29
  Speaker 12: I think it's a brilliant place we could probably protect
• 33:32
  Speaker 12: a lot of babies.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: I want them.
• 33:34
  Speaker 27: That is a really interesting question. I honestly don't know
• 33:40
  Speaker 27: Virginia's constitutional law well enough, but I find that fascinating.
• 33:43
  Speaker 27: And what a great listener to really dig into the details.
• 33:46
  Speaker 27: Maybe Victoria Cobb can give.
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: You more on that.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: I'm going to ask her about it as well. But,
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: you know, this is the thing.
• 33:52
  Speaker 12: So our Bill of Rights is actually the first section
• 33:56
  Speaker 12: of our Constitution and Article 11 of it is It
• 34:00
  Speaker 12: says you cannot be deprived of life, liberty, or property
• 34:03
  Speaker 12: without due process of law.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Bang, that's it.
• 34:07
  Speaker 12: They want to amend it to say except for these
• 34:09
  Speaker 12: babies in the third and maybe even the second trimester
• 34:13
  Speaker 12: where they could survive elsewhere. And that's where your groups
• 34:17
  Speaker 12: and the crisis pregnancy centers come in because you just
• 34:21
  Speaker 12: said 60% of the abortions wouldn't have happened today. If
• 34:24
  Speaker 12: the mothers didn't feel trapped, Autumn, talk about making that
• 34:29
  Speaker 12: case to a mother who feels like baby daddy's abandoned
• 34:33
  Speaker 12: her or everyone else has abandoned her and to make
• 34:36
  Speaker 12: her feel not so abandoned.
• 34:39
  Speaker 27: Absolutely. You used exactly the right word when she said
• 34:43
  Speaker 27: she feels trapped. You know, our culture tells her across
• 34:47
  Speaker 27: from Hollywood to academic elites to politicians that if she's
• 34:51
  Speaker 27: not financially secure, she's just not going to be able
• 34:54
  Speaker 27: to be a good mom. and that she would be
• 34:57
  Speaker 27: better off having an abortion. And that is the cultural lie.
• 35:00
  Speaker 27: And so what we encourage your listeners to do is
• 35:03
  Speaker 27: to be a part of providing resources to meet those needs.
• 35:07
  Speaker 27: You know, she's thinking oftentimes about things like childcare. She's
• 35:10
  Speaker 27: thinking about transportation and her broken down vehicle. So those
• 35:14
  Speaker 27: are all things that we can work with moms to
• 35:17
  Speaker 27: make her plan for her future and to create a
• 35:19
  Speaker 27: new circle of support, pro-life people who are ready to
• 35:23
  Speaker 27: support her going forward, even when the others in her life,
• 35:27
  Speaker 27: like the baby's dad, maybe other friends in her life
• 35:30
  Speaker 27: are saying, just take this abortion.
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: Pill and make it all go away.
• 35:33
  Speaker 27: We can do that new circle of support.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: And that's the most heinous thing.
• 35:36
  Speaker 12: I mean, it's not like my childhood where you actually
• 35:39
  Speaker 12: had to go somewhere. I mean, you've got these groups
• 35:42
  Speaker 12: advertising on television now. It's bad enough you've got all
• 35:46
  Speaker 12: these side effect pills that claim to do this, that,
• 35:49
  Speaker 12: or the other thing. But now you can You know,
• 35:51
  Speaker 12: I watch TV and there's an ad saying, you know, oh,
• 35:54
  Speaker 12: it's women's health and it's all these misnomers. I think
• 35:59
  Speaker 12: the coup de grace is the bait and switch that
• 36:03
  Speaker 12: is the language on Virginia's constitutional amendment. I know that
• 36:07
  Speaker 12: the Founding Freedoms Legal Center is planning on a legal challenge.
• 36:11
  Speaker 12: But your work is based on actual peer-reviewed medical stuff.
• 36:15
  Speaker 12: This is published, you know, in the Curious magazine. Journal
• 36:19
  Speaker 12: of Medical Science, David Reardon, folks like that. This isn't,
• 36:24
  Speaker 12: although it is a religious thing for people who want
• 36:28
  Speaker 12: to protect life, this is peer-reviewed science you're talking about, Autumn, correct?
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 36:34
  Speaker 29: That's right.
• 36:34
  Speaker 27: So Curious is a peer-reviewed journal. It is not pro-life.
• 36:39
  Speaker 27: It is not conservative. Dr. Reardon's research has gone under
• 36:43
  Speaker 27: the strictest level of academic review. And again, 60% said,
• 36:50
  Speaker 27: that's not what I would have done if I'd had
• 36:51
  Speaker 27: more resource support. And the majority of the women said
• 36:56
  Speaker 27: that choosing abortion was inconsistent with their values and beliefs.
• 37:00
  Speaker 27: And yet they felt that they had to do it.
• 37:02
  Speaker 27: They were coerced. They were pressured by the people around them.
• 37:05
  Speaker 27: They felt so alone and isolated that they felt like
• 37:08
  Speaker 27: it was their only choice.
• 37:10
  Speaker 12: Well, I appreciate this because I do know that a
• 37:12
  Speaker 12: lot of our friends on the left have said frequently
• 37:15
  Speaker 12: over the last five years, follow the science. So maybe
• 37:18
  Speaker 12: we can get them to, I don't know, Autumn, follow
• 37:20
  Speaker 12: the science.
• 37:22
  Speaker 27: Sounds good to me. And definitely I would encourage your
• 37:25
  Speaker 27: listeners to hop on to HerPlan.org, take our short quiz,
• 37:29
  Speaker 27: and we'll connect you with some really exciting ways to
• 37:32

  Speaker 27: know what is safe and effective? A community of support.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Amen to that.
• 37:51
  Speaker 27: It is neither safe nor effective.
• 37:53
  Speaker 22: Awesome.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: Autumn, thank you so much. You have a wonderful morning
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: and good luck.

  Speaker 16: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 39:08
  Speaker 16: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 39:13
  Speaker 16: I'm Dr.
• 39:14
  Speaker 28: Mitch.
• 39:15
  Speaker 16: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 39:20
  Speaker 16: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 39:25
  Speaker 16: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 39:29
  Speaker 16: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 39:33
  Speaker 16: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 39:40
  Speaker 16: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or at
• 39:44
  Speaker 16: least slow the spread of cancer. and in many instances,

  Speaker 4: Hi, everybody.
• 40:59
  Speaker 24: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 41:02
  Speaker 24: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 41:05
  Speaker 24: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 41:07
  Speaker 24: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 41:09
  Speaker 24: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes,
• 41:13
  Speaker 24: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
• 41:16
  Speaker 24: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
• 41:18
  Speaker 24: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
• 41:21
  Speaker 24: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: This remarkable work.
• 41:25
  Speaker 24: Ethic is shared by our best friends, the canines. We
• 41:28
  Speaker 24: know dogs are our wonderful pets at home, but because
• 41:31
  Speaker 24: of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving work every day.
• 41:35
  Speaker 24: Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans,
• 41:38
  Speaker 24: some of whom suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics,
• 41:40
  Speaker 24: alerting them when there's a change in their blood chemistry.
• 41:43
  Speaker 24: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
• 41:46
  Speaker 24: contribute to society and help those in need. So please
• 41:48
  Speaker 24: join me and American Humane in supporting our heroic working
• 41:52
  Speaker 24: dogs and all the amazing animals on this planet we
• 41:54
  Speaker 24: inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.

• 42:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah?
• 42:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he's starting with the woots. And now a speech.
• 42:07
  Speaker 7: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 42:13
  Speaker 7: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
• 42:16
  Speaker 7: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
• 42:19
  Speaker 7: call me a ride.
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: Love that guy.
• 42:21
  Speaker 10: Me too.

• 42:36
  Speaker 30: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 42:40
  Speaker 30: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 42:42
  Speaker 30: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 42:46
  Speaker 30: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 42:52
  Speaker 30: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 42:55
  Speaker 30: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 42:59
  Speaker 30: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 43:01
  Speaker 30: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 43:05
  Speaker 30: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 43:08
  Speaker 30: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 43:11
  Speaker 30: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 43:15
  Speaker 30: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 5: First thing today by joe thomas on the talk media
• 44:18
  Speaker 5: network they never.
• 44:20
  Speaker 14: Told us what was real i am the.
• 44:23
  Speaker 12: Coach Sorry, kid, if you need to be telled that.
• 44:30
  Speaker 12: There's an expression about a bag of hair in there. But,
• 44:33
  Speaker 12: you know, that's the problem with my generation was we
• 44:37
  Speaker 12: were waiting for somebody to tell us.
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: It was our turn.
• 44:43
  Speaker 12: And maybe it was the fault of the generation before,
• 44:45
  Speaker 12: you know, holding on to their position. I'm sorry, I
• 44:49
  Speaker 12: have to stop for a moment. Sunrise over the eastern
• 44:52
  Speaker 12: seaboard is, or at least over the mid-Atlantic is, Wow.
• 44:57
  Speaker 12: I'm sorry, I get distracted around this time of the
• 44:59
  Speaker 12: morning because we're on location at Common Ground. It's our
• 45:03
  Speaker 12: weekly visit with our friends at City Elders. CityElders.org is
• 45:07
  Speaker 12: the national group. Eight different states have at least some. Oklahoma, Virginia, Georgia,
• 45:15
  Speaker 12: there's all over the country.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: And more coming.
• 45:18
  Speaker 12: Because these are folks who are dedicated to putting ethically-minded
• 45:23
  Speaker 12: people into elected office. And especially in the world of
• 45:29
  Speaker 12: Turning Point USA, young people are looking for that.
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: This is about pushing back on the narrative.
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: Of liberation of church and state.
• 45:41
  Speaker 12: Because if we're going to be self-governing, we need to
• 45:44
  Speaker 12: be self-governing. And the greed and avarice and corruption that
• 45:49
  Speaker 12: befalls so many members of elected office now is partially understandable.
• 45:55
  Speaker 12: Some of these folks wouldn't have qualified to do anything else.
• 46:00
  Speaker 12: But most of them are good hearted people who are
• 46:02
  Speaker 12: out there trying to do the right thing. And then
• 46:04
  Speaker 12: they get, you know, you make one compromise and then
• 46:06
  Speaker 12: that compromise leads to another compromise. And, you know, and
• 46:10
  Speaker 12: pretty soon. you're compromised there. So plenty to get into
• 46:15
  Speaker 12: this morning. I want to jump back. We'll spend a
• 46:19
  Speaker 12: little time, I think we've spent an inordinate about giving
• 46:22
  Speaker 12: the United Nations War Crimes Tribunal their undue due for
• 46:30
  Speaker 12: having a, trying to weigh in really on the American
• 46:35
  Speaker 12: midterm elections. You know, if Donald Trump says he thinks
• 46:38
  Speaker 12: Delcy Rodriguez should win the presidential election in Venezuela, everyone
• 46:45
  Speaker 12: is on the network saying.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: He's interfering in foreign government's election.
• 46:50
  Speaker 12: I mean, never minding Barack Obama and Joe Biden gleefully announcing.
• 46:55
  Speaker 12: I remember Valerie Jarrett holding even press briefings with George
• 47:01
  Speaker 12: Snuffleupagus on how much work they were putting into the
• 47:04
  Speaker 12: Ukrainian elections. This was the Ukrainian election before Zelenskyy came
• 47:11
  Speaker 12: out of late-night comedy television to become the president of Ukraine.
• 47:17
  Speaker 12: But they wanted an anti-Russian bent.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: And the U.S.
• 47:24
  Speaker 12: Government leaned so heavily into this, they kept an entire
• 47:28
  Speaker 12: region of Ukraine from voting because they had too many
• 47:34
  Speaker 12: ethnic Russians living there. So it changed the names to
• 47:37
  Speaker 12: protect the innocent. This is Barack Obama. This is not
• 47:42
  Speaker 12: Donald Trump. Change the names to protect the innocent. Let's
• 47:46
  Speaker 12: say we just don't let California, Arizona, and New Mexico
• 47:51
  Speaker 12: vote because of all the ethnic Mexicans there. I mean,
• 47:58
  Speaker 12: don't say it's a moral equivalency. It is exactly the
• 48:01
  Speaker 12: same thing. An awful lot of exit. Maybe the leftists
• 48:06
  Speaker 12: would go along with it if we included Texas.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: On that.
• 48:10
  Speaker 12: Just knock Texas and California off. I was in Palm Springs.
• 48:14
  Speaker 12: I was outside 29 Palms myself. My wife has pictures.
• 48:18
  Speaker 12: We were going into 29 Palms and we stopped by
• 48:22
  Speaker 12: the Joshua.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: Tree National Park.
• 48:26
  Speaker 12: All these people with Mexican flags saying, this is my land. Okay,
• 48:30
  Speaker 12: well you're not allowed to vote in our next election there, Spanky.
• 48:35
  Speaker 12: Or whatever the Spanish translation of spanky is. No, no,
• 48:43
  Speaker 12: I know what that word means, and it doesn't mean spanky.
• 48:47
  Speaker 12: I mean, unless you pay for it, then I'm sure
• 48:50
  Speaker 12: spanky could be involved with... But my, jeez. Yes, just
• 48:54
  Speaker 12: because it shows up in a lot of rap songs
• 48:56
  Speaker 12: doesn't mean I can say it on the radio there.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: But I also wanted to jump in on.
• 49:08
  Speaker 12: And all too commonplace, and we're letting it become all
• 49:11
  Speaker 12: too commonplace.
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: We mentioned it.
• 49:12
  Speaker 12: I mentioned the great Victoria Cobb of the Family Foundation
• 49:16
  Speaker 12: is coming up. Virginia begins voting today. And we start
• 49:20
  Speaker 12: when the registrar's office is open. You can get your
• 49:24
  Speaker 12: mail-in ballots. No verification, no nothing. Judge ruled yesterday that
• 49:33
  Speaker 12: some 200,000 felons, and I understand something really quick about
• 49:39
  Speaker 12: felony All right, so.
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: Do we have too many things that are classified as felonies?
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: I think so.
• 49:48
  Speaker 12: I will be the first one to say, as I
• 49:50
  Speaker 12: criticize this judge's ruling, I think there are too many
• 49:53
  Speaker 12: things that fall under the heading of felony.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: You've heard us say this before, that.
• 50:01
  Speaker 12: There are too many things that are considered classified documents
• 50:04
  Speaker 12: in the White House. The lunch menu doesn't need to
• 50:07
  Speaker 12: be a classified document.
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: But they do.
• 50:12
  Speaker 12: And I think it's just out of sloth maybe. It's
• 50:15
  Speaker 12: easier just to classify everything. The toilet paper order is classified, Mr.
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: Thomas.
• 50:25
  Speaker 12: So I think there are too many things in our
• 50:28
  Speaker 12: world that are classified as felonies.
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: To me, in this free society, a felony a felony.
• 50:40
  Speaker 12: Should be an instance where you have been found guilty
• 50:45
  Speaker 12: of violating another citizen's rights. Like diluting my vote.
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: Just saying.
• 50:53
  Speaker 12: And I do believe that is a felony. But this
• 50:56
  Speaker 12: judge in Richmond, Virginia, just gave back with a slam
• 51:01
  Speaker 12: of his gavel 200,000 convicted felons their voting rights back.
• 51:06
  Speaker 12: Now they have finished their sentence. But in many states,
• 51:10
  Speaker 12: in Virginia, one of them, you have to petition the
• 51:14
  Speaker 12: government for a restoration of your rights. You have to
• 51:18
  Speaker 12: go before a board and prove much like you do
• 51:21
  Speaker 12: in a parole board that you have rehabilitated yourself. You're
• 51:25
  Speaker 12: not going to fall into recidivism and start committing crimes again.
• 51:32
  Speaker 12: But this judge issued this order coincidentally just in time
• 51:36
  Speaker 12: to vote on a constitutional amendment that would eliminate Virginia's
• 51:41
  Speaker 12: ability to check into any of these felons before they
• 51:46
  Speaker 12: get their voting rights back. And this is the hammer
• 51:52
  Speaker 12: beating the wrench that breaks the glass. I mean, it's just,
• 51:57
  Speaker 12: it's a bad idea followed by a bad idea followed
• 52:01
  Speaker 12: by a bad idea.
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: And I understand the politics of it.
• 52:05
  Speaker 12: The Democrats want more voters to vote in favor of
• 52:09
  Speaker 12: permanent restoration of any felon's voting rights. While at the
• 52:16
  Speaker 12: same time telling us that prisons are just breeding grounds
• 52:20
  Speaker 12: for more crime. Well, if prisons are breeding grounds for
• 52:25
  Speaker 12: more crime, A, why aren't you doing more and spending
• 52:28
  Speaker 12: this time trying to make our prison systems better? And B,
• 52:33
  Speaker 12: if they're just breeding grounds for more crime, why are
• 52:35
  Speaker 12: you automatically giving someone back their right to vote after
• 52:39
  Speaker 12: they leave said breeding ground for more crime? These are
• 52:43
  Speaker 12: the things that keep me up at night, or at
• 52:45
  Speaker 12: least get me up really early in the morning for
• 52:48
  Speaker 12: first thing today, this Friday.
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: My name is Bobby. I'm a veteran and lost my
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: leg to a roadside bomb.
• 52:56
  Speaker 20: My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a
• 52:58
  Speaker 20: weightlifting champion.
• 53:00
  Speaker 6: I'm Sam.
• 53:01
  Speaker 5: I'm a veteran.
• 53:02
  Speaker 7: My victory was finding a career I can be proud
• 53:04

• 53:09

• 53:18

  Speaker 22: DAV offers veterans of all generations a lifetime of support.
• 53:27
