Latest / First Thing Today with Joe Thomas / "First off, It's NOT a PSA ... " (FTTxJT Tue 092926 hr1)
Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: Anytime you and I question the schemes of the do-gooders,
- 0:06Speaker 1: we're denounced as being against their humanitarian goal.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
- 0:13Speaker 2: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
- 0:15Speaker 1: The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant.
- 0:18Speaker 1: It's just that they know so much that isn't so.
- 0:20Speaker 3: Your words had to steal me.
- 0:22Speaker 4: I wish them near every day.
- 0:25Speaker 5: Please for work when the sun comes up, drops the
- 0:28Speaker 5: kids to school and all the work.
- 0:31Speaker 6: Joe has everything he dreamed of, all the treasures that
- 0:34Speaker 6: he needs.
- 0:35Speaker 5: No wonder Joe's always.
- 0:37Speaker 7: Smiling, he only aims to please you.
- 0:42Speaker 8: Let me be your Joe.
- 0:43Speaker 3: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
- 0:46Speaker 3: this morning. As we gather around our amplitude or frequency
- 0:53Speaker 3: modulation translators and just try to tap into some reality
- 0:59Speaker 3: for a little while, just a little island, a little
- 1:01Speaker 3: oasis in the morass of campaign literature that seems to
- 1:06Speaker 3: be everything that's going on.
- 1:08Speaker 5: Who's here for you?
- 1:11Speaker 3: It's an amazing thing. I just watched a politician quit
- 1:17Speaker 3: because somebody on his team engaged in political shenanigans that
- 1:24Speaker 3: they disagreed with. And everyone is trying to make him
- 1:31Speaker 3: look like the loser. The losers are the people who
- 1:35Speaker 3: don't get him to represent them. And it's a shame,
- 1:41Speaker 3: but this is the kind of thing that goes on,
- 1:43Speaker 3: even down to your school board races. We'll get into that.
- 1:47Speaker 3: So much going on. Maha summit. Coming up today, don't
- 1:52Speaker 3: think McDonald's is on the menu. No offense to our
- 1:55Speaker 3: friends under the arches. Burger King ain't there either, nor
- 1:59Speaker 3: is Wendy's. But you know, if the COVID rules were
- 2:03Speaker 3: to apply, at some point we'd decide that we could
- 2:08Speaker 3: market that way. We'd hire the same people that rebranded
- 2:11Speaker 3: Hamas as a misunderstood, marginalized community who just has a
- 2:16Speaker 3: predilection for blowing other people up. while they aren't in
- 2:20Speaker 3: any way, shape, or form connected to them. Hey, you
- 2:24Speaker 3: know what? Everyone has a thing, right? Everyone's got something
- 2:30Speaker 3: going on. In the case of Hamas, it's just killing
- 2:33Speaker 3: random people and then claiming it was their fault they
- 2:36Speaker 3: got killed because they were in their way. All these
- 2:42Speaker 3: things and more at 434-882-4217 after I tell you what
- 2:44Speaker 3: went on. I want to hear how it's impacting you
- 2:49Speaker 3: where you are. More important than anything else, the singular
- 2:53Speaker 3: most important local aspect of the radio station is you. You,
- 2:58Speaker 3: the one with the amplitude or frequency modulation translator on. So,
- 3:03Speaker 3: as Jackie Gleason once said, away we go. It shouldn't
- 3:10Speaker 3: be paid for with taxpayer dollars. That's the statement from
- 3:14Speaker 3: Senate Majority Leader John Thune of South Dakota yesterday. who
- 3:17Speaker 3: was pinholed by reporters over a series of what the
- 3:21Speaker 3: Trump administration is calling public service announcements. Don't let the
- 3:26Speaker 3: fake news get away with their lies about our epic
- 3:29Speaker 3: public service announcements that have been running on TV, Stephen Chung,
- 3:34Speaker 3: White House communications director, posted on X. They say the
- 3:38Speaker 3: ads are in the same vein as the ones run
- 3:40Speaker 3: by the W, Obama, and Biden administration. promoting their successes
- 3:46Speaker 3: like the Affordable Care Act passage or COVID-19 responses. They
- 3:51Speaker 3: wouldn't protect American voters' civil rights, but the U.S. Senate
- 3:55Speaker 3: managed to pass sweeping bipartisan legislation Monday that would regulate
- 4:00Speaker 3: college sports in an attempt to end chaos in an
- 4:03Speaker 3: industry that had been upended by athlete payments and near-unrestricted
- 4:08Speaker 3: transfers between schools. The Protect College Sports Act passed 77
- 4:16Speaker 3: to 22.
- 4:18Speaker 2: U.S.
- 4:18Speaker 3: National Security Agency and other military intelligence and cybersecurity forces
- 4:23Speaker 3: will guard election systems, according to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
- 4:28Speaker 3: Military cybersecurity experts have routinely helped monitor systems, but the
- 4:34Speaker 3: agency has had it folded into the Pentagon because the
- 4:38Speaker 3: civilian oversight agency had been shuttered. The five young British
- 4:44Speaker 3: men arrested with explosives and terror charges near U.S.-operated Air
- 4:49Speaker 3: Force Base in England were released on bail yesterday. Counter-terror
- 4:54Speaker 3: detectives said they were investigating, quote, multiple lines of inquiry,
- 4:59Speaker 3: including whether there is a link to Iran or Russia.
- 5:04Speaker 3: Vice President J.D. Vance and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
- 5:08Speaker 3: will put their style point aside and speak today at
- 5:15Speaker 3: the Make America Healthy Again Summit, supporters say has forsaken
- 5:21Speaker 3: the movement's original priorities. 71-year-old man who was convicted of
- 5:29Speaker 3: killing a police chief's aunt and has spent decades on
- 5:32Speaker 3: death row was released Monday in Utah after prosecutors said
- 5:37Speaker 3: newly analyzed DNA evidence doesn't link him to the crime
- 5:41Speaker 3: stephen carter is still being investigated and he needs to
- 5:45Speaker 3: wear a gps monitor while they investigate the 1985 killing
- 5:50Speaker 3: of eva olsen and spacex launched its starship and went
- 5:55Speaker 3: around the world a couple of times dropped off some
- 5:58Speaker 3: satellites and splashed down.

- 8:03Speaker 11: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 11: I'm Dr.
- 8:13Speaker 2: Mitch.
- 8:14Speaker 11: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
- 8:20Speaker 11: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 8:24Speaker 11: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 8:28Speaker 11: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 8:32Speaker 11: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
- 8:39Speaker 11: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
- 8:43Speaker 11: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
- 8:47Speaker 11: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
- 8:52Speaker 11: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
- 8:57Speaker 11: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
- 9:02Speaker 12: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
- 9:05Speaker 12: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
- 9:10Speaker 12: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
- 9:13Speaker 12: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
- 9:16Speaker 12: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
- 9:21Speaker 12: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
- 9:25Speaker 12: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
- 9:29Speaker 12: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
- 9:33Speaker 12: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
- 9:37Speaker 12: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
- 9:42Speaker 12: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
- 9:46Speaker 12: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
- 9:53Speaker 12: Share this information with your friends and family.
- 9:58Speaker 2: Hi, everybody.
- 9:59Speaker 8: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
- 10:01Speaker 8: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 8: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 8: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:08Speaker 8: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 8: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
- 10:15Speaker 8: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
- 10:17Speaker 8: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
- 10:21Speaker 8: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
- 10:23Speaker 8: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
- 10:26Speaker 8: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
- 10:30Speaker 8: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving
- 10:33Speaker 8: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
- 10:36Speaker 8: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
- 10:39Speaker 8: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
- 10:42Speaker 8: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
- 10:44Speaker 8: trained roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
- 10:47Speaker 8: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
- 10:50Speaker 8: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
- 10:53Speaker 8: planet we inhabit together. Go to americanhumane.org to learn more.
- 10:59Speaker 13: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
- 11:01Speaker 6: Oh, yeah?
- 11:01Speaker 3: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 11:04Speaker 14: And now a speech.
- 11:06Speaker 6: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 11:10Speaker 15: Heart and brain.
- 11:12Speaker 3: Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 8: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
- 11:15Speaker 7: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
- 11:18Speaker 7: somebody call me a ride.
- 11:19Speaker 16: Love that guy.
- 11:20Speaker 15: Me too.
- 11:21Speaker 4: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 11:23Speaker 4: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 11:26Speaker 7: Boop!
- 11:28Speaker 17: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 11:31Speaker 17: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 11:35Speaker 17: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
- 11:39Speaker 17: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 11:42Speaker 17: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
- 11:46Speaker 17: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
- 11:51Speaker 17: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
- 11:54Speaker 17: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
- 11:58Speaker 17: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 12:00Speaker 17: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
- 12:04Speaker 17: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 12:07Speaker 17: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 12:11Speaker 17: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
- 12:14Speaker 17: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

- 12:32Speaker 18: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
- 12:35Speaker 18: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
- 12:40Speaker 18: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.

- 13:15Speaker 2: didn't cost anything in the first place, so let's say...
- 13:18Speaker 2: One million dollars!
- 13:21Speaker 5: And call it even.
- 13:22Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 13:26Speaker 3: I told you this some time ago, that I was
- 13:29Speaker 3: in the room with a bunch of Virginia broadcasters when
- 13:34Speaker 3: a spokesperson from the Obama administration came to.
- 13:40Speaker 3: Well, enthusiastically tell us that there were millions of dollars available.
- 13:48Speaker 3: It didn't say who was paying them, but there were
- 13:50Speaker 3: millions of dollars available for creative broadcasters who came up
- 13:58Speaker 3: with innovative ways of explaining. Explaining was a key word.
- 14:07Speaker 3: why Americans and Virginians were in great peril. Is there
- 14:14Speaker 3: any other kind? Wonderful exchange from a few good men.
- 14:21Speaker 3: Grave peril, sir? Is there any other kind? That Virginians
- 14:30Speaker 3: and Americans writ large were in grave peril. If They
- 14:37Speaker 3: weren't forced by the U.S. government to buy insurance or
- 14:44Speaker 3: risk being fined by the government. Now, obviously, you can
- 14:50Speaker 3: tell I wasn't one of the winners of that sweepstakes
- 14:54Speaker 3: because that's what I was telling my listeners at the time.
- 14:57Speaker 3: And I looked at my general manager at the time.
- 14:59Speaker 3: I worked for other people. This is during that 17
- 15:03Speaker 3: redacted years from my resume. I should do that. You know,
- 15:08Speaker 3: we should print a resume. You know, Joe Thomas, host
- 15:12Speaker 3: First Thing Today, Talk Media Network, owner of Thomas Media,
- 15:16Speaker 3: WTON Radio in Stanton and Harrisonburg, Virginia. And then, you know,
- 15:22Speaker 3: 2007 through 2025, and then just black lines like a
- 15:26Speaker 3: CIA document. And then pick up 2005 through 2007, program director,
- 15:30Speaker 3: WCOJ Radio. Westchester, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia market. Just black lines in there.
- 15:43Speaker 3: That would be fun. That would be fun. I'd get
- 15:45Speaker 3: a FedEx. I would. So anyway, the GM in question
- 15:51Speaker 3: is no longer employed by those people. He's had his
- 15:54Speaker 3: life redacted for those years as well. But I looked
- 15:58Speaker 3: at him and I said, don't you even think about it.
- 16:03Speaker 3: He said, Would you help? And this is the fun part.
- 16:06Speaker 3: I said, would you help your sister stations to that end?
- 16:11Speaker 3: I said, not even for a second. I said, they
- 16:15Speaker 3: have creative people. If they want to lie to their listeners,
- 16:19Speaker 3: that's on them. I will not suborn this kind of perjury.
- 16:23Speaker 3: But they came bag full of cash paid for by
- 16:28Speaker 3: your grandkids because they've long since spent the tax money
- 16:32Speaker 3: you and I have sent them. So this brouhaha over
- 16:39Speaker 3: these public service announcements, and stick a pin for a
- 16:44Speaker 3: moment in public service announcements, because I want to come
- 16:49Speaker 3: back to what my industry does with these things. And
- 16:56Speaker 3: it drives me crazy, partially because I'm struggling to make
- 17:02Speaker 3: ends meet, and these people have their hands out to, quote,
- 17:06Speaker 3: be paid for public service announcements. It's not public service
- 17:13Speaker 3: if you're being paid for it. I don't care what
- 17:17Speaker 3: AmeriCorps says. If you're being paid for it, it's a job.
- 17:25Speaker 3: If you're being paid for it, it's an advertisement. When
- 17:32Speaker 3: Barack Obama bought all those news hours. We have a
- 17:37Speaker 3: special report today on Americans without health care insurance.
- 17:43Speaker 5: Hmm?
- 17:44Speaker 3: No, I said health care insurance is a key thing too.
- 17:51Speaker 3: And all those creative souls who came up with a
- 17:54Speaker 3: way to swallow the word insurance, to bury the word insurance,
- 17:58Speaker 3: to make it appear and to sound like you were
- 18:02Speaker 3: in grave peril. Is there any other kind of dying?
- 18:09Speaker 3: Because you'd be there standing at a hospital door being
- 18:13Speaker 3: denied access because, well, there wasn't a law, apparently. This
- 18:21Speaker 3: was one of the biggest cons of Obamacare, is that
- 18:24Speaker 3: if you went into a hospital, they had to treat you.
- 18:27Speaker 3: It was the law. Charlie Rangel passed that law. And
- 18:32Speaker 3: yet there he was saying, we need this.
- 18:35Speaker 1: Why?
- 18:35Speaker 3: Because hospitals said, we don't want to pay for this anymore.
- 18:38Speaker 3: They had already opened the southern border and the number
- 18:42Speaker 3: of non-citizens that were showing up at hospitals, because obviously
- 18:46Speaker 3: they weren't citizens, so they didn't have Aetna or Blue
- 18:51Speaker 3: Cross Blue Shield. They were more worried about the tin
- 18:56Speaker 3: shield showing up at their door saying, I'm sorry, was
- 19:05Speaker 3: that racist? I mean, aside from the fact that I
- 19:09Speaker 3: barely know any Spanish, probably, you know, a guy who
- 19:13Speaker 3: scraped by with a 66 in Spanish after three years
- 19:19Speaker 3: of taking it probably shouldn't be dropping lingo on the air.
- 19:28Speaker 3: So everyone's bent out of shape over these three ads
- 19:31Speaker 3: that the Trump administration has spent $ 1. 4 million on buying
- 19:37Speaker 3: airtime to air. They're saying that the $ 1. 4 million was
- 19:43Speaker 3: from the budget, from the U.S. budget, taxpayer money, technically.
- 19:49Speaker 3: And the administration says, well, how is this different than
- 19:54Speaker 3: the ads that Barack Obama ran touting Obamacare or that
- 20:01Speaker 3: Joe Biden laughably ran saying, look at how good we
- 20:04Speaker 3: did over COVID. I mean, I wouldn't compare my ads
- 20:11Speaker 3: to ads telling the world how, look at how we
- 20:14Speaker 3: did with COVID.
- 20:16Speaker 19: Jeez.
- 20:20Speaker 3: Is it in your mind? So the argument, those who
- 20:24Speaker 3: are arguing against it say, well, there's no call to action.
- 20:28Speaker 3: The ads touting Obamacare said where to go to healthcare.org.
- 20:33Speaker 3: The COVID-19 PSAs had Tony take the fifth, leave the
- 20:41Speaker 3: cannolis Fauci on screen saying it's safe and effective and
- 20:45Speaker 3: go to this website. Call to action. The very end,
- 20:53Speaker 3: visit this website to find out if you qualify. Is
- 20:57Speaker 3: that enough? Is that an inoculation against being a campaign ad?
- 21:12Speaker 3: And the people who do what I do for a
- 21:14Speaker 3: living should be ashamed of themselves because they do this.
- 21:19Speaker 3: They do this to Alzheimer's. The Alzheimer's association spends a
- 21:23Speaker 3: fortune in advertising because people won't run a public service.
- 21:30Speaker 3: I never took a dime from the Alzheimer's association. We
- 21:33Speaker 3: used to do all these things and they decided they
- 21:35Speaker 3: wanted to move their efforts into you know, targeted medium,
- 21:40Speaker 3: you know, the internet ads and that kind of stuff,
- 21:43Speaker 3: the digital marketing. They're paying a whole lot more for
- 21:47Speaker 3: that than they ever paid me because I understand what
- 21:51Speaker 3: public service means. Because if you're being paid for it,
- 21:58Speaker 3: it's just a commercial.
- 22:01Speaker 10: Hey, I'm Brant, and her name is Sherry.
- 22:03Speaker 2: Hello.
- 22:04Speaker 9: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
- 22:06Speaker 9: for because of a surgery she just went through.
- 22:09Speaker 19: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
- 22:11Speaker 19: talk about all the time, which is?
- 22:13Speaker 20: MediShare.
- 22:13Speaker 19: That is right.
- 22:14Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 22:15Speaker 9: So what was your experience like with MediShare and the
- 22:17Speaker 9: health care bill?
- 22:18Speaker 19: Honestly, Brant, seamless. And what a blessing that is. When
- 22:21Speaker 19: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was,
- 22:24Speaker 19: members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
- 22:27Speaker 19: me tell you, Having people pray with you when you
- 22:30Speaker 19: call in with your need, that is just... It is refreshing. Yes,
- 22:34Speaker 19: that's what it is.
- 22:34Speaker 9: What I keep telling people, people love MediShare and they
- 22:38Speaker 9: love saving money. A typical family can save $ 500 a month.
- 22:42Speaker 19: I am very thankful for MediShare. It is so different.
- 22:46Speaker 19: And I mean different in a very, very good way.

- 23:04Speaker 6: Veterinary Medical Association. Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's
- 23:09Speaker 6: helping veterinarians deliver better care for pets. From AI-assisted radiographs
- 23:15Speaker 6: that speed up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases.
- 23:19Speaker 6: AI supports veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI
- 23:24Speaker 6: to develop personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline
- 23:29Speaker 6: kidney disease, and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can
- 23:34Speaker 6: focus more on patients. But as with any new technology,
- 23:39Speaker 6: always keep a human in the loop to maintain the
- 23:42Speaker 6: best pet healthcare. AI is a powerful tool. but not
- 23:47Speaker 6: a replacement for your veterinarian's expertise, compassion, and judgment, which
- 23:52Speaker 6: remains at the center of our profession. For more information
- 23:56Speaker 6: on AI and veterinary medicine, visit avma.org.
- 24:03Speaker 11: Considered by most, Optimized Curcumin is one of the few
- 24:07Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 24:12Speaker 11: I'm Dr.
- 24:13Speaker 3: Mitch.
- 24:14Speaker 11: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
- 24:19Speaker 11: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 24:23Speaker 11: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 24:28Speaker 11: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 24:32Speaker 11: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
- 24:39Speaker 11: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer. or at
- 24:43Speaker 11: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances,
- 24:46Speaker 11: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
- 24:51Speaker 11: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
- 24:57Speaker 11: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
- 25:02Speaker 12: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
- 25:05Speaker 12: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
- 25:10Speaker 12: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
- 25:13Speaker 12: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
- 25:16Speaker 12: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
- 25:21Speaker 12: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
- 25:25Speaker 12: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
- 25:29Speaker 12: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
- 25:33Speaker 12: personal information like your Social Security number or bank account
- 25:37Speaker 12: or send money in any form cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
- 25:42Speaker 12: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
- 25:46Speaker 12: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General at oig.ssa.gov.
- 25:55Speaker 16: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
- 25:56Speaker 10: Oh, yeah?
- 25:57Speaker 14: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 25:59Speaker 13: And now a speech.
- 26:02Speaker 7: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 26:05Speaker 15: Heart and brain.
- 26:07Speaker 3: Who's with me?
- 26:08Speaker 8: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
- 26:10Speaker 20: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
- 26:13Speaker 20: somebody call me a ride.
- 26:15Speaker 16: Love that guy.
- 26:16Speaker 6: Me too.
- 26:16Speaker 4: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 26:19Speaker 4: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 26:23Speaker 17: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 26:25Speaker 17: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 26:29Speaker 17: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
- 26:34Speaker 17: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 26:36Speaker 17: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
- 26:40Speaker 17: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
- 26:46Speaker 17: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
- 26:49Speaker 17: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
- 26:53Speaker 17: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 26:55Speaker 17: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
- 26:58Speaker 17: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 27:02Speaker 17: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 27:05Speaker 17: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
- 27:09Speaker 17: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
- 27:12Speaker 17: money by reducing your energy waste, check out ftc.gov slash green.

- 27:37Speaker 21: a brother like you.
- 27:38Speaker 2: Lucky?
- 27:39Speaker 22: Caring for my brother is far from easy. But he's
- 27:43Speaker 22: a part of me, like my arms and legs, so
- 27:45Speaker 22: I'll be his. No time for tired. Nothing can disable
- 27:49Speaker 22: this love. He needs me, but I'm the lucky one,
- 27:52Speaker 22: even though I need help now and then.

- 28:12Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 28:17Speaker 23: I don't think there's been an instance of.
- 28:21Speaker 20: Living rent free in somebody's head since then.
- 28:34Speaker 3: And the righteous indignation of the press over these ads.
- 28:38Speaker 3: Here's a little bit of one.
- 28:42Speaker 23: This is the final battle with you at my side.
- 28:45Speaker 23: We will demolish the deep state. We will expel the
- 28:48Speaker 23: warmongers from our government. We will drive out the globalists.
- 28:52Speaker 23: We will cast out the communists, Marxists and fascists. We
- 28:56Speaker 23: will throw off the sick political class that hates our country.
- 29:00Speaker 23: We will rout the fake news media and we will
- 29:03Speaker 23: liberate America from these villains once and for all.
- 29:13Speaker 3: Their claim is it's the same video that was used
- 29:18Speaker 3: in a campaign ad a couple of years ago. And
- 29:25Speaker 3: that may be so. As if there wasn't stock footage
- 29:30Speaker 3: used in the Obamacare or the COVID care or the
- 29:35Speaker 3: Medicaid reform that W's campaign ran. So the question to
- 29:41Speaker 3: you is, from where I sit, if you listen at all,
- 29:49Speaker 3: you know that I believe we are dying of democracy poisonings.
- 29:58Speaker 3: I believe the presidency carries way too much authority right now,
- 30:03Speaker 3: mostly because Congress has abdicated theirs in an effort to
- 30:08Speaker 3: never to be tagged with anything bad. They never do
- 30:12Speaker 3: anything except pass laws to punish colleges for giving money
- 30:19Speaker 3: to students. And there's precedent. We will we will arrive.
- 30:27Speaker 3: at this college protection bill. Punish me. We should call
- 30:31Speaker 3: it the Miles Copperthwaite, punish me, punish me, no Captain Odo,
- 30:37Speaker 3: punish me bill. Gleefully campaigned for by guys like Nick Saban,
- 30:52Speaker 3: quietly campaigned for by all the heads of all the universities. And,
- 31:02Speaker 3: of course, celebrated by the average college student who views
- 31:07Speaker 3: a college football player to be, well, somebody they enjoy
- 31:11Speaker 3: watching on Saturday afternoon, but wouldn't want to sit down
- 31:15Speaker 3: at the cafeteria with, mostly because they view them to
- 31:18Speaker 3: be bloated, egomaniacal turds. Probably the swirlies had something to
- 31:27Speaker 3: do with it, but that was high school. Come on,
- 31:30Speaker 3: get over it. So you were locked into a closet
- 31:33Speaker 3: by football players. Today's a new day and they need to,
- 31:38Speaker 3: they need the government to make sure they get paid.
- 31:47Speaker 3: The Trump ads are the fruit from where I sit
- 31:53Speaker 3: of an overly democratized or Democrat sized country that has,
- 32:01Speaker 3: become addicted like any other kind of opiate to our voting.
- 32:06Speaker 3: Everything has to be a vote. But beyond that, the presidency,
- 32:11Speaker 3: because of the abdication of congressional authority outside of guys
- 32:15Speaker 3: like Rand Paul, who make a brave noise about it,
- 32:20Speaker 3: but I don't know if they'd know what to do
- 32:22Speaker 3: with it if it landed burning in their lap. fueled
- 32:32Speaker 3: by the ethanol of constant media just being poured on
- 32:38Speaker 3: the smoldering embers of out-of-control populism, become these bonfires of
- 32:48Speaker 3: our vanities. Everything is a campaign ad. This Maha Summit
- 32:56Speaker 3: is a campaign ad. This Protect College Athletes Act is
- 33:04Speaker 3: a campaign ad. The failure to pass the Save America
- 33:09Speaker 3: Act is a campaign ad. Everything these people do is
- 33:13Speaker 3: a campaign ad because we keep asking them to do
- 33:17Speaker 3: more things for us. And the only way they can
- 33:26Speaker 3: access the big bag of other people's money is if
- 33:28Speaker 3: they win an election. So they go out there. We
- 33:31Speaker 3: just had a bunch of Republicans who can count on
- 33:37Speaker 3: one hand, maybe two fingers, the number of elections they've
- 33:40Speaker 3: actually won out there campaigning for a Democrat who's won
- 33:47Speaker 3: as many elections as most of these Republicans put together won.
- 33:54Speaker 3: And even the Republican former congressman, the guy we like
- 33:58Speaker 3: to call the wriggler around here in central Virginia, you
- 34:02Speaker 3: see him on CNN all the time. Well, more so,
- 34:05Speaker 3: I don't know if he had health issues or not,
- 34:07Speaker 3: or CNN just got tired of paying him for his contributions.
- 34:11Speaker 3: Denver Riggleman, he was on CNN all along. CNN loved
- 34:15Speaker 3: them some Riggleman, the wriggler. He was the face of
- 34:22Speaker 3: the former Republicans for Democrats. Well, he was one of them.
- 34:29Speaker 3: And even his electoral win, it was a special election
- 34:35Speaker 3: he had to be thrown into because the congressman took
- 34:38Speaker 3: a powder because he was having personal issues and wanted
- 34:42Speaker 3: to spend time dealing with his personal issues. But the
- 34:46Speaker 3: wrigglers out there saying, I believe in the ethics of
- 34:50Speaker 3: Tom Perriello. Ethics of the guy who voted to bring
- 34:56Speaker 3: Obamacare to the floor and is now campaigning to fix
- 35:00Speaker 3: a broken health care system. Everything is a campaign ad.
- 35:10Speaker 3: President Trump meeting Chairman Xi of the People's Republic of
- 35:14Speaker 3: China at Joint Base Andrews is a campaign ad. Because
- 35:22Speaker 3: they're always campaigning. Everything they're doing is designed to make
- 35:27Speaker 3: you want to vote for them again. We talked about
- 35:33Speaker 3: populism yesterday. Populism is not an ideology. And that's okay.
- 35:40Speaker 3: Nor does it need to be. But James Madison and
- 35:46Speaker 3: George Mason and Patrick Henry, these folks put up guardrails.
- 35:53Speaker 3: Guys like Alexander Hamilton took those guardrails down, and the
- 36:01Speaker 3: congressional leaders at the time said, well, guys like George— we
- 36:05Speaker 3: can trust George Washington. Yeah, but eventually you don't have
- 36:09Speaker 3: George Washington. Eventually you don't have John Adams or Thomas
- 36:13Speaker 3: Jefferson in these offices. Eventually the same manipulators that corrupted
- 36:19Speaker 3: every temple since the beginning of man's representation of other
- 36:25Speaker 3: men has been taken over by manipulators and machinators and
- 36:36Speaker 3: financial capitulators who want to take money, keep a little
- 36:41Speaker 3: bit for themselves, And so they get you addicted. They
- 36:50Speaker 3: get you a little bit for free, and then they
- 36:52Speaker 3: get you addicted to voting for everything, thinking that you
- 36:55Speaker 3: have a say. Oh, I voted, but I voted. I've
- 36:59Speaker 3: got a little sticker on my lapel.
- 37:01Speaker 2: I voted.
- 37:09Speaker 3: It begins with Hamilton's implied powers, and it continues after
- 37:13Speaker 3: the Civil War with the perversion of the Commerce Clause,
- 37:20Speaker 3: all the way through the Great Society. And now we
- 37:26Speaker 3: have a king, like them or dislike them, whether it's
- 37:30Speaker 3: Biden or Trump or Bush or Obama, who has a
- 37:36Speaker 3: cabinet full of knights that go out with their armed
- 37:40Speaker 3: police and their own personal court systems enforcing either the
- 37:46Speaker 3: left or the right's agenda. So, yes, everything is a
- 37:53Speaker 3: campaign ad. Everything the Democrats run is a campaign.
- 37:58Speaker 23: Ad, too.
- 38:02Speaker 10: Hi, it's Mark Falter, host of the Financial Fitness Show.
- 38:05Speaker 10: I strongly believe that no one should ever pay one
- 38:08Speaker 10: penny more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately
- 38:13Speaker 10: for most hardworking Americans, this just isn't the case.
- 38:16Speaker 18: Why?
- 38:17Speaker 10: Because most people spend more time planning next weekend's getaway
- 38:21Speaker 10: than trying to ensure they're going to pay less in taxes.
- 38:24Speaker 10: My financial fitness team has put together some materials that
- 38:27Speaker 10: I know are going to help you. It's the tax
- 38:29Speaker 10: savings kit. Tax savings kit includes three things. Free tax analysis,
- 38:35Speaker 10: top 10 ways to pay less in taxes, and an
- 38:38Speaker 10: investor's guide to taxes. Now, how do you get it?
- 38:41Speaker 17: Simple.
- 38:42Speaker 4: 866-764-7000.
- 38:42Speaker 20: 2635. Again, 866-764-2635. I'm Mark Falter. This is Financial Fitness,

- 40:02Speaker 15: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
- 40:05Speaker 15: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
- 40:09Speaker 15: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
- 40:13Speaker 2: Oh, yes!
- 40:15Speaker 24: Yes!

- 40:57Speaker 14: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
- 41:02Speaker 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.
- 41:21Speaker 14: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
- 41:24Speaker 14: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
- 41:27Speaker 14: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
- 41:32Speaker 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.
- 41:40Speaker 15: Eat better.

- 44:12Speaker 2: News and analysis, now without artificial colors.
- 44:15Speaker 15: Is it really safe and is it really effective?
- 44:18Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 44:44Speaker 3: So the Maha Summit today is happening in Washington.
- 44:49Speaker 1: I think you all know that I've always felt the
- 44:53Speaker 1: nine most terrifying words in the English language are, I'm
- 44:57Speaker 1: from the government and I'm here to help.
- 45:00Speaker 3: So they gather under the premise that the government can
- 45:05Speaker 3: make you healthy. I don't know how you do this
- 45:11Speaker 3: without accepting the guilt of saying the government made you unhealthy.
- 45:18Speaker 3: The government, the greatest advertising agency in the world, it
- 45:22Speaker 3: seems like we're spending an awful lot. We should be
- 45:25Speaker 3: coming to you live from downtown Chicago. We're here at
- 45:29Speaker 3: the advertising agency that has successfully rebranded Hamas as a misunderstood,
- 45:35Speaker 3: marginalized community like trans. Only they kill all the trans people.
- 45:48Speaker 3: So the Maha summit is in controversy because these things
- 45:52Speaker 3: cost lots of money. You know why? Because when you
- 45:55Speaker 3: hear that the government wants to hold a conference at
- 45:58Speaker 3: your conference center, you jack up the rates. Have you ever,
- 46:03Speaker 3: this is fun, if you've ever traveled, have you ever
- 46:07Speaker 3: looked at the sign of on the back of the
- 46:10Speaker 3: hotel room door, and seeing what the bust-out retail rate
- 46:17Speaker 3: is for the hotel room that Trivago helped you get for,
- 46:21Speaker 3: you know, 40 bucks, you will literally lose bowel control. Luckily,
- 46:30Speaker 3: these signs are pretty close to the bathroom in most
- 46:33Speaker 3: hotel rooms because you will literally no longer be able
- 46:37Speaker 3: to keep your bladder shut. You will actually pee yourself.
- 46:43Speaker 3: A room that you paid through booking.com. Note how the
- 46:47Speaker 3: host keeps trying to move around through different apps so
- 46:51Speaker 3: as to not seem to be endorsing one or the other.
- 46:55Speaker 3: We now return you to your program already in progress.
- 47:00Speaker 3: You've booked the room for 40 bucks and you look
- 47:02Speaker 3: at the sign and realize the hotel says the room
- 47:05Speaker 3: rate is $ 2, 000 a night. You think, my God, how
- 47:13Speaker 3: could I have received such largesse for mere pittance? The
- 47:19Speaker 3: room is worth $ 40 a night. They get $ 2, 000 a
- 47:24Speaker 3: night when these conferences come to town, especially the government-sponsored ones.
- 47:34Speaker 3: This is just like the political ad rate stuff that,
- 47:39Speaker 3: They talked about, oh, well, the political action committees can
- 47:42Speaker 3: get the same political ads. Okay, so you're actually making
- 47:46Speaker 3: the ads more expensive for the dry cleaner in my
- 47:49Speaker 3: hometown or the hemp presser who's just trying to make
- 47:55Speaker 3: ends meet while the government claims they have legalized all
- 47:59Speaker 3: the wacky tobacco and gone after all the hemp CBD manufacturers.
- 48:06Speaker 3: It's happening right here in Virginia. The CBD manufacturers are
- 48:10Speaker 3: being driven out of business under the banner of, we've
- 48:13Speaker 3: legalized marijuana. Aren't we great? I guess they're counting on
- 48:19Speaker 3: the fact that once you get stoned enough, you forget things.
- 48:24Speaker 3: Robert Malone, one of the people in this world that
- 48:29Speaker 3: I have, there's this list of people that I just
- 48:33Speaker 3: am pleased that I did what I did for a
- 48:36Speaker 3: living today. not just so I can bring these stories
- 48:39Speaker 3: to you, but I've been able to selfishly meet people
- 48:42Speaker 3: like Dr. Robert Malone. He said this Maha Summit is sickening,
- 48:52Speaker 3: specifically the sponsorship list. Sponsors of the Maha Summit include Walmart,
- 49:00Speaker 3: Hims and Hers, those are the people you see on
- 49:03Speaker 3: You hear them on the radio. I think they sponsor
- 49:05Speaker 3: bits of different networks that my flagship station carries. Hims
- 49:11Speaker 3: are about erectile dysfunction. Hers are about depression. Why would
- 49:17Speaker 3: the same company making the same supposedly? nutritional supplements be
- 49:22Speaker 3: helping men with their erectile dysfunction and women with depression?
- 49:26Speaker 3: I think there's a connection, but I'm not a doctor.
- 49:31Speaker 3: Hims and Hers. Noom, another one of these weight loss companies. Also,
- 49:38Speaker 3: OpenAI and Anthropic are helping pay the bills.
- 49:43Speaker 6: Why?
- 49:43Speaker 3: Because there are bills. These conference centers, they roll out
- 49:48Speaker 3: the big buck red carpets for these government conferences. It's
- 49:55Speaker 3: not like they don't have conference centers at the Department
- 49:58Speaker 3: of Health and Human Services. Oh, yeah, you could have
- 50:02Speaker 3: just held it there. They have theaters. They have speakers lecterns.
- 50:08Speaker 3: Why don't you just hold the Department of Homeland Security
- 50:12Speaker 3: or Health and Human Services?
- 50:13Speaker 23: Sorry.
- 50:17Speaker 3: And this is the part of this story that's fun because,
- 50:19Speaker 3: you know, a lot of people say, oh, Joe, you're
- 50:21Speaker 3: at CPAC every year. Why don't you speak at CPAC?
- 50:23Speaker 3: Because I don't have the money. It costs money to
- 50:28Speaker 3: get on those speakers lineups. Because it costs money to
- 50:34Speaker 3: put these events on. So the question then comes down
- 50:37Speaker 3: to what has the Department of Health and Human Services
- 50:41Speaker 3: done towards making Americans healthier? Brooke Rollins out there, Agriculture Secretary,
- 50:53Speaker 3: are we using better bug control processes? Lee Zeldin has
- 51:02Speaker 3: been incredible at EPA. Are we there yet? Are we
- 51:07Speaker 3: all the way there yet? No, we're no closer. Were
- 51:09Speaker 3: the kids sitting in the back of the station wagon hollering,
- 51:13Speaker 3: are we there yet?
- 51:16Speaker 1: Dr.
- 51:17Speaker 3: Oz from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The
- 51:31Speaker 3: organizers have said specifically, unlike the public service announcement stories
- 51:37Speaker 3: from the last segment, are saying this is about the
- 51:40Speaker 3: congressional midterms because they need the congressional support to do
- 51:45Speaker 3: the things that they've done that so far.
- 51:51Speaker 2: Have happened.
- 51:53Speaker 3: Vaccine mandate rollbacks. Many of these things have been turned
- 52:02Speaker 3: into campaign ads against your local congressional representative. Congressman so-and-so
- 52:08Speaker 3: stood by and did nothing. A lapdog for the Trump
- 52:12Speaker 3: administration as they have taken away the pharmaceutical industry's cash cow.
- 52:17Speaker 2: I mean, the very.
- 52:19Speaker 3: Protections that we try to put in place for your children. So,
- 52:24Speaker 3: I mean, I do look at the results of the
- 52:27Speaker 3: HHS and EPA and even to a small degree, ag secretary,
- 52:34Speaker 3: trying to turn around this aircraft carrier that's going 20
- 52:38Speaker 3: knots in the wrong direction towards the precipice. But just,
- 52:45Speaker 3: I mean, they do have to pay big bills because
- 52:48Speaker 3: they're not getting the Trivago rate.
- 52:51Speaker 24: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
- 52:54Speaker 24: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
- 52:57Speaker 23: It was MediShare that came through for us and there
- 52:59Speaker 23: was no hassles.
- 53:00Speaker 10: There was no problem.
- 53:02Speaker 24: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
- 53:05Speaker 24: of such an incredible ministry.
- 53:07Speaker 13: MediShare is a biblical approach to health care where Christians
- 53:11Speaker 13: share each other's medical expenses.
- 53:13Speaker 4: MediShare is a family, a group of people that stick
- 53:17Speaker 4: with you through the hardest times of your life.
- 53:20Speaker 13: MediShare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over 30 years old.
- 53:25Speaker 13: And members have shared over $ 8 billion of each other's
- 53:27Speaker 13: medical bills.
- 53:28Speaker 14: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
- 53:30Speaker 8: You can focus on supporting other people.
- 53:33Speaker 3: MediShare is affordable.
- 53:35Speaker 13: MediShare is biblical.
- 53:36Speaker 16: MediShare is family.
- 53:37Speaker 13: Join thousands of Christians who can help you save on
- 53:40Speaker 13: your health care and support your family when you need it.
