  Speaker 1: I'm not violating any laws.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Avoiding prosecution isn't the standard that I was shooting for.

  Speaker 3: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:11
  Speaker 4: Joe works at a steel mill. He's down here every day.
• 0:16
  Speaker 5: Leaves for work when the sun comes up.
• 0:18
  Speaker 6: Drops the kids to school and all the work.
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: Joe has everything he dreamed of.
• 0:24
  Speaker 5: All the treasures that he needs.
• 0:27
  Speaker 7: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:29
  Speaker 8: He only aims to please you.
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: this morning. I'll tell you what went on last night.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: I will dissect it into easily digestible gummies. Once you've
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: consumed them and the side effects begin to take effect,
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: we'll discuss at 434-882-4217. its impact on you, you being
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: the most important local aspect of the radio station, and
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: we appreciate you being there for us. We were talking
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: in the last hour, and again, if you only get segments,
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: little bits, that's okay. A little bit is better than nothing.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: We share the time that we can. But we were
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: talking in the previous hour about AI, Mac, our sports
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: director brought in Apparently, the Golf Channel has an AI announcer,
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: and I'm sure that the broadcaster's union is up in
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: arms about it. It doesn't sound good. As this text
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: comes in, we are a long way from Max, Max, Max, Max,
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: Max Headroom. Are we really? And I will bring back
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: Ray's email from the other day in which he said
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: the issue with artificial intelligence is not the software itself,
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: it's its access to everything through the internet. And that
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: what we need to do is come up with a
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: better system of managing the internet. And that if you
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: restrict or, you know, require access intentionalities to the internet,
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: then artificial intelligence does not become anything more than just
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: a thing that the constitution can be applied to. But
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: the behaviors and attitudes and intentions of the people who
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: write the software behind the AI, those are the ones
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: just like the people who pick up a firearm. Are
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: they doing it for good or are they doing it
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: for evil? But I still, the more I ruminate on
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: Ray's idea of coming up with a better way of
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: regulating the infrastructure of the information superhighway. Remember when it
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: used to be called that, kids? back in the early
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: days of the WWW, the information superhighway, and how you
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: manage that. That's going to be the key to the future.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: That's going to be the key to if we're slaves
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: to it or it is our slave, I guess. Then
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: you start doing Roy Batty's Vanish Like Tears.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: In the rain.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: Rutger Hauer comes back out onto the screen and can
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: do the voodoo to you that he did. But here
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: are the first things we've been getting into. This should
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: surprise no one, but a big bag of federal money
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: was delivered to Southern California and three people so far
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: have been arrested in connection with stealing for themselves $ 12
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: million dollars. They were contracted by these agencies to provide
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: housing and social services to homeless people. Instead, they took
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: the money and housed themselves with it. Canadian Prime Minister
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Mark Carney is hoping that all this zeal about relabeling
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: things on maps will apply to his country as he
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: wants the European Union to close their eyes and imagine
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: that Canada is part of Europe. That's what he'll ask for.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: He wants membership in the EU when he speaks to
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: them later today. The U.S. House of Representatives is on
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: recess early because Mike Johnson said so. But before they left,
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: they took up and passed the Lindsey Graham Act, which
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: will go after a bunch of members of the Russian community,
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: sanctioning their monies to keep them from going to Vladimir
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: Putin and the invasion. in Ukraine. Meanwhile, Tommy Massey in
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: the U.S. House said, maybe we should try that. He
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: took to the floor to protest the early dismissal of Congress, saying,
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to stop a war. On the subject of
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: that war, President Trump is expected next week during the
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: United Nations General Assembly in New York to meet Gulf
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: leaders on the sidelines to discuss post-war strategies. Federal Reserve
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: has raised the benchmark interest rate to 3.9%, and Kevin
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Warsh said it's probably going to go to 4.1% before
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: the year is out. U.S. stocks dropped 600 points under
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: the pressure of investors seeing that higher interest rate. And
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: Peter Max.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: The man whose art inspired and was contributing to the
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: film Yellow Submarine, amongst so much other, passed away earlier
• 6:05

• 8:07
  Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: Products on the market.
• 8:12
  Speaker 9: Hi, I'm Dr.
• 8:13
  Speaker 10: Mitch.
• 8:14
  Speaker 9: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, Our optimized curcumin seems
• 8:20
  Speaker 9: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 8:24
  Speaker 9: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 8:28
  Speaker 9: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 8:33
  Speaker 9: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 8:39
  Speaker 9: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or at
• 8:43
  Speaker 9: least slow the spread of cancer. and in many instances,
• 8:47
  Speaker 9: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 8:52

  Speaker 1: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like, you
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: will be arrested, if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law

  Speaker 1: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:59
  Speaker 11: Hi everybody, I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy
• 10:01
  Speaker 11: growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
• 10:03
  Speaker 11: with animals. I'm not only in awe of their beauty
• 10:06
  Speaker 11: and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
• 10:08
  Speaker 11: at the birds who gather supplies to build nests or
• 10:11
  Speaker 11: Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young.
• 10:14
  Speaker 11: Or penguins, who travel up to 500 miles to secure
• 10:17
  Speaker 11: food for their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump
• 10:20
  Speaker 11: allows them to navigate the trees and the wild in
• 10:23
  Speaker 11: search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by
• 10:25
  Speaker 11: our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are our
• 10:29
  Speaker 11: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 10:32
  Speaker 11: they also perform lifesaving work every day. Dogs keep us
• 10:35
  Speaker 11: safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom
• 10:38
  Speaker 11: suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when
• 10:41
  Speaker 11: there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have
• 10:44
  Speaker 11: a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society
• 10:46
  Speaker 11: and help those in need. So please join me and
• 10:49
  Speaker 11: American Humane in supporting our heroic working dogs and all
• 10:52
  Speaker 11: the amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go

• 10:59
  Speaker 12: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah?
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 13: And now a speech.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 9: Heart and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 13: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 14: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 14: somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 15: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:29
  Speaker 16: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 16: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 16: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:40
  Speaker 16: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 16: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 16: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 11:51
  Speaker 16: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 11:54
  Speaker 16: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:58
  Speaker 16: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:01
  Speaker 16: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 12:04
  Speaker 16: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:08
  Speaker 16: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 12:11
  Speaker 16: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 12:14
  Speaker 16: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 16: protection agency.
• 12:29
  Speaker 17: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 17: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 17: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:40
  Speaker 17: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 12:44
  Speaker 17: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories

• 13:11
  Speaker 3: This is Independence from Virginia. Again, first thing today by
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network. So about 20
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: years ago, I had a chance to do a promotion
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: with Peter Maxx.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: He was in a local art gallery, and I got
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: called by the manager of it, and I was running
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: a radio station out there in southeastern PA, and they
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: were like, come on out. Actually, not far from Valley Forge.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: We commemorate Valley Forge with a shopping center. But we
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: got to meet Peter Max. He was on the show
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: a couple of times and set up to it and
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: couldn't have been nicer. And he just.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: So we still have the somewhere. My wife has all
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: the pictures of everything we've ever done in our lives.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: And as my kids, two of whom are actually in
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: the arts.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: And so, you know, maybe there was some impact to
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: meeting Peter Max. So we've got an autographed poster that
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: he did for us. But also for somebody who's done
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: an awful lot of work in the world of battling
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: Alzheimer's and dementia. I'm sad to think that somebody who
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: was that seminal in the world, and you say what
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: you will, but the art, that graphical style of Peter
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: Max's was ubiquitous. And he didn't necessarily even do the animation.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: The animations of the Beatles movie was done by artists
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: who were knocking off his style. because I don't know
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: if you can pay somebody enough to do that. If
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: they're not an animator, it's probably not going to come
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: out well anyway. But just a sad note of a
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: passing of an icon in the arts world, really, paintings
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: and that kind of thing, was often just dismissed as
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: pop culture stuff. And it was interesting, you know, the
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: same people who would, fall all over themselves for Andy
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: Warhol would dismiss Peter Max. And it was interesting that.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: But I wonder, and I didn't know about his dementia,
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: but I do know that artistic pursuit is what they've
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: just through observation, the last thing to go. Glenn Campbell
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: does a remarkable job depicting this in the documentary he
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: allowed to be filmed of his last concert tour. As
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: he was descending into dementia and Alzheimer's, a film is
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: called I'll Be Me. And it chronicles kind of those. But,
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: you know, Glenn couldn't remember the name of his own
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: band members, several who were his children. But when it's time,
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: you know, rhinestone cowboy, one, two, three. And as soon
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: as the music started, it was like he had no
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: issues whatsoever. So maybe there's an answer to that. the
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: creative parts of our brain. One can only hope, you know,
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: Peter still had his creative side going on because, boy,
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: it really, it can frighten you when that kind of
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: stuff goes down. We've got Joel on the line. Let
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: me get line two set in here as well. Good morning.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: You're on the air with Joe. Who's this? This is
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: Joe over in Crozet. Hey, Joe, can you hang on
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: a sec? I've got Joel ahead of you.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: All right. Joel, thank you for hanging on the line
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: for a second, sir. What's on your mind?
• 17:17
  Speaker 18: It's interesting that you bring up the memory issues and things,
• 17:20
  Speaker 18: but my word that I was going to say was preservation.
• 17:25
  Speaker 18: I think AI in one sense is trying to take
• 17:30
  Speaker 18: away from our ability to preserve books and newspapers and
• 17:36
  Speaker 18: magazines and There was an interesting thing that, and I
• 17:41
  Speaker 18: bring up Glenn Beck, but I bring him up with purpose.
• 17:44
  Speaker 18: He's trying to build an American museum of history and
• 17:49
  Speaker 18: preserve a lot of documents.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: He's purchased quite a bit of it, yeah.
• 17:54
  Speaker 18: And one of the things that was happening was one
• 17:57
  Speaker 18: of the AI companies was taking first edition books, I mean,
• 18:02
  Speaker 18: really old books, and then copying, digitally copying them, then
• 18:07
  Speaker 18: shredding them. They weren't keeping them. And so you've got
• 18:11
  Speaker 18: to look at it this way. If you don't have
• 18:13
  Speaker 18: the original copy and the only proprietor that held that
• 18:17
  Speaker 18: original copy but digitalized it can put whatever they want
• 18:22
  Speaker 18: back on it and say that that's the original version
• 18:25
  Speaker 18: of it.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: Right, and this is what I said. You have to
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: preserve the original. I can't believe that we'd allow in
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: our copyright protections– this kind of thing. I do know
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: that the Library of Congress has a digital version of itself,
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: but it is literally a digital version of that which
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: is physical in Washington, D.C. But yeah, I think there's
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: an absolute point to be made of protecting and preserving
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: the originals because, yeah, you could easily now, you know, rewrite,
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: you know, We all believe in the Mandela effect, so
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: why not? The gas-lit population already doesn't trust their lion eyes.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: Are you going to trust me or your own lion eyes?
• 19:19
  Speaker 18: Sorry, the problem is we have a lot of younger people.
• 19:25
  Speaker 18: And I'm not putting them because they're younger, but we
• 19:27
  Speaker 18: have a lot of people that are younger that haven't
• 19:29
  Speaker 18: even really.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Picked up books.
• 19:30
  Speaker 18: And I asked some of the nursing graduates that I
• 19:34
  Speaker 18: was working with, and I said, so what do you do?
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: I said, I used to.
• 19:38
  Speaker 18: Carry a backpack with probably five or six heavy books.
• 19:42
  Speaker 18: and go, Oh no, we got it all online. And
• 19:44
  Speaker 18: then we, we, we just downloaded on our computer, our
• 19:48
  Speaker 18: laptop or, or, or, um, uh, I don't know what's
• 19:52
  Speaker 18: the other thing called.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: Tablets, whatever. Yeah. Tablets and all that.
• 19:57
  Speaker 18: And I said, I said, but what happens if you
• 19:59
  Speaker 18: don't have power? I mean, or the, you know, you're,
• 20:03
  Speaker 18: Your system goes down.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: What do you do? This is why I think what
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: Ray has suggested, I had never heard anyone say it before,
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: is that the issue is not the artificial intelligence. The
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: issue is not the computer technology. The issue is access
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: to unfettered internet. Our internet needs to be more commercialized.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: needs to not just be treated like air. We need
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: to go back to Internet 1.0, where if you connected
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: to a computer, that was the only computer you were
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: connected to. It was almost like phone, because we've lost
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: the intentionality of it. We've traded this for convenience, and
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: the convenience needs to be restricted. If we're going to
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: continue to.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: Believe in research and process, you have to. Otherwise, we're
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: going to lose a generation and we're going to have
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: to recreate it all from scratch, almost like Fahrenheit 451.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: So I think whoever, and there are lots of other
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: people doing it that are setting up these museums of
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: American history, I'd rather see libraries set up. My grandmother
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: was a librarian, one of the first female librarians in
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: the country, you know, back when, you know, only men
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: got jobs like that. But, you know, she she was
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: always about keeping the physical books, keeping them in good condition. Otherwise,
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: you're going to lose access to these things. And then
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: the only people who will know anything are the people
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: who have access to it. And that's just not Protestant.
• 22:02
  Speaker 9: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 22:07
  Speaker 9: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch. And nitric
• 22:12
  Speaker 9: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 22:17
  Speaker 9: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 22:22
  Speaker 9: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 22:27
  Speaker 9: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 22:31
  Speaker 9: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 22:35
  Speaker 9: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 22:38
  Speaker 9: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 22:41
  Speaker 9: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,

  Speaker 9: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 9: I'm Dr.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: Mitch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 9: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:19
  Speaker 9: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:24
  Speaker 9: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 24:28
  Speaker 9: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 24:32
  Speaker 9: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 24:39
  Speaker 9: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 24:43
  Speaker 9: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
• 24:47
  Speaker 9: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 24:52

• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: personal information, like your social security number or bank account,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law

• 25:53
  Speaker 12: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 25:57
  Speaker 19: Oh, yeah?
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 25:59
  Speaker 12: And now a speech.
• 26:02
  Speaker 9: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 26:06
  Speaker 9: Heart and brain.
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: Who's with me?
• 26:08
  Speaker 11: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 26:10
  Speaker 14: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 26:13
  Speaker 14: somebody call me a ride.
• 26:15
  Speaker 7: Love that guy.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: Me too.
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 26:23
  Speaker 16: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 26:26
  Speaker 16: costs go to heating and cooling?
• 26:28
  Speaker 17: Oh!
• 26:28
  Speaker 16: Energy efficiency isn't just good for the environment. It means
• 26:32
  Speaker 16: lower utility bills, too. One way to reduce your energy
• 26:36
  Speaker 16: waste is a home energy assessment. Your utility company can help,
• 26:40
  Speaker 16: or you can learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov.
• 26:44
  Speaker 16: That's energysavers.gov. You'll learn to look for air leaks around
• 26:48
  Speaker 16: windows and doors, check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation.
• 26:52
  Speaker 16: Another time to cut energy costs is when you shop
• 26:55
  Speaker 16: for a new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo
• 26:58
  Speaker 16: and read the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day
• 27:02
  Speaker 16: things you can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and
• 27:05
  Speaker 16: raise it in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're
• 27:08
  Speaker 16: not in use. And keep air filters clean. For more
• 27:11

  Speaker 4: Lucky?

  Speaker 20: a part of me, like my arms and legs, so
• 27:45
  Speaker 20: I'll be his. No time for tired. Nothing can disable

• 28:11
  Speaker 3: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: So in the abstract of keeping information, the reason we
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: fight authoritarianism is that authoritarianism is about controlling the information,
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: controlling knowledge. You can't know something unless we let you
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: know it.
• 28:48
  Speaker 12: And.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: I look around and I look at folks that are
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: in these halls of government and I laugh at the
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: idea that they think they can control these narratives. They
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: can barely get the streetlights to work in order. And
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: yet they'll tell us, oh, yeah, no, we're going to
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: run health care. We're going to run. No, they're not. No,
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: they're not. They are what we like to call in
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: the trades lying to you. They're lying to you to
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: get you to vote for them. This is another instance
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: where democracy, as anything more than just one of several
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: tools designed to create a republic that's designed to protect
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: your rights, can be used to do you in. Mob rule.
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: If I lie to you and tell you I'm going
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: to do these things, well, I've got at least two
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: years to come up with a good excuse as to
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: why I didn't rather than being held to account for
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: lying to you. It's just like these constitutional amendments I
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: was warning you about. And Blair's great point is that
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: it says specifically that it's going to take away your
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: due process if you're an unborn child. And we may
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: finally have them cornered on that point of when does
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: a person, but it reads more thoroughly that what they're
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: doing is they're saying, hey, we have a special class
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: of people that were not going to protect their due
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: process rights. And we used to do that in Virginia
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: back 150 years ago. We had a group of people
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: that didn't have due process rights. Did we just lose
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: Joe in Crozet? Can you get Joe back? I wanted
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: to hear what he had to say. Because, you know,
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: nobody calls without at least getting his, you know, two
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: cents worth. in there at 434-882-4217. Good morning, Joe. Are
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: you back? Yeah, I am not. I had a customer
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: come in. Oh, I'm sorry about that. Yeah, you're already
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: at your 9 to 5. I'm sorry about that. But anyway, yeah.
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: But you're not on my radio here.
• 31:16
  Speaker 10: Why?
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: I don't know. We are on the radio. I don't know.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: You'll have to call my engineer because I'm busy at
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: the moment. But I'll have them take a look at it.
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: I'll throw a rock at their window and see if...
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: But it says we're on the air, so you should
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: try it.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: I got bought a brand new radio.
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: I got a Bose Wave radio. Oh, that's good. Well,
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: it's the antenna as much as the radio. But I
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: appreciate it. But pull us in online if you can.
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: Some of these new Bose radios can do that as well. But, yeah,
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: we're there. We're going out to our transmitters. I had
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: a feeling that's why you called. So I sort of
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: sent the word out to my engineer. I said, you
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: better check this because Joe only calls us when I've
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: really tweaked him badly or he can't. When did it start? Uh,
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: let's see. I've been on the phone probably about 16
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: minutes ago. Interesting. Okay. Well, it seems like everything is
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: switched the way it's supposed to be. So, um, uh,
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: you know, try again and we'll talk to you later, Joe. Okay.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: All right. Yeah. You too. Uh, 4, 3, 4, 8, 8, 2, 4, 2, 1,
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: 7 is the phone number. Uh, their emails come into
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: JT in the morning radio at gmail.com. Check all the,
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: you know, this is, see, this is the stuff AI
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: can't recreate stuff like this. But there are, there are
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: processes that will protect you if we keep, if we
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: keep the simplicity of what the American government is supposed
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: to be in place. It's when we allow these people,
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: starting with Alexander Hamilton and his implied powers, to take
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: authority over the American people, to do things for us.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: One of the other problems with democracy is because people
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: in a pure democracy... People in a pure democracy, they
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: have to get you to vote for them so they
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: can go and do the things they want to do
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: in office. And so they will lie to you to
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: get you to vote for them and then shrug and say, oh,
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: it was the good ones will say it's the other
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: party's fault that I wasn't able to do the things
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: I promised you. The bad ones will just not answer
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: your phone call. And so we have to have the
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: basics covered, but they don't want to do that because
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: when they show up and they want you to vote
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: for them, they're going to give you a laundry list
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: of things that they're going to do for you like
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: a concierge service so that you'll support them when none
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: of it is constitutional. And then when you say, hey,
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: will you pay for this library or whatever, Will you
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: help fix the school? They say, well, maybe we need
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: to make you pay more taxes because we also have
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: this Department of Hugs and Kisses that we've developed for reparations.
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: Or we have a Department of Reparations out there for
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: people who had their due process blocked, just like the
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: unborn are going to have their due process blocked. Good morning.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: You're on the air with Joe first thing this morning.
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: Who's this?
• 35:22
  Speaker 15: Andy, I just wanted to just comment on a couple
• 35:25
  Speaker 15: of things that people have kind of raised on. But
• 35:29
  Speaker 15: the Peter Max passing and the dementia stuff, you know,
• 35:34
  Speaker 15: a lot of this, you know, Alzheimer's is caused by
• 35:38
  Speaker 15: the incredible crap they're spraying on us from above.
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: There's a lot. They are learning more and more every
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: day about how the plaque is that actually blocks our
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: memories from transmitting within our brain is part and parcel
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: of the brain's own self-defense mechanism. It does the plaque
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: buildup to protect the brain cells from toxins in our
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: blood system. And I think we need to look at
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: that as a source. And I don't know if we will.
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: Maybe Pfizer can make a vaccine for it.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 36:20
  Speaker 15: Well, you know, just stay away from all that nonsense
• 36:24
  Speaker 15: and try and, you know, just live as naturally as
• 36:27
  Speaker 15: you can. I'm heading out to go see Dr. Brad,
• 36:31
  Speaker 15: I think, next month. And I am going to go
• 36:34
  Speaker 15: to the Mises Institute, the supporters summit. was like the
• 36:40
  Speaker 15: lady who gets money out of my pocket said, you know,
• 36:44
  Speaker 15: I didn't see your name on the list. And I said,
• 36:46
  Speaker 15: you know, I'm like overwhelmed with a lot of this stuff,
• 36:50
  Speaker 15: not the least of which is dealing with some of
• 36:53
  Speaker 15: this prostate nonsense, which is, you know, I say it's
• 36:58
  Speaker 15: 99% environmental.
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, you'll look at what a prostate or
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: even a pancreas does. Again, these are, These are filters,
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: so if you put bad stuff in, the filters are
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: going to get clogged with bad stuff. And so we
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: all have to be careful of that and intentional about
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: our consumption.
• 37:18
  Speaker 15: That is so cool that your family got to meet
• 37:22
  Speaker 15: Peter Max and that he was a nice guy.
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he was terrific.
• 37:26
  Speaker 15: I know the Valley Forge Mall there. That was the
• 37:30
  Speaker 15: recent little village of Wayne. had really seriously low taxes.
• 37:36
  Speaker 15: And my best friend from childhood, who's part of the
• 37:40
  Speaker 15: Chip Mack story, you might, you know, you've probably pulled
• 37:44
  Speaker 15: up my website at least once or twice. And the
• 37:48
  Speaker 15: Purple Heart story is actually updated now.
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: Oh, okay.
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: We'll have to look for that, Andy. I've got a
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: break coming up here, but travel safe.
• 37:59
  Speaker 15: Yeah, just keep doing what you're doing.
• 38:01
  Speaker 19: At Hot Shot Secret, we share the science behind common
• 38:04
  Speaker 19: diesel problems and their solutions.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: For example, diesel fuel cetane levels.
• 38:08
  Speaker 19: In many states, the cetane rating in diesel fuel is
• 38:11
  Speaker 19: 42 to 45. Most diesel engines operate more efficiently with
• 38:15
  Speaker 19: a cetane rating of 48 to 50. One treatment of
• 38:18
  Speaker 19: Hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your cetane seven points,
• 38:21
  Speaker 19: increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts. Due to a
• 38:25
  Speaker 19: cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons and particulate matter in
• 38:28
  Speaker 19: your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of your diesel particulate filter.
• 38:32
  Speaker 19: Using Diesel Extreme generates 83% less DPF regenerations. The 6-in-1
• 38:38
  Speaker 19: Diesel Extreme formula also includes the most concentrated detergent on
• 38:42
  Speaker 19: the market. it lubricity enhancer water demulsifier rust and corrosion
• 38:46
  Speaker 19: inhibitors and a fuel stabilizer.

• 39:05
  Speaker 12: feels like even a family road trip is taking a

  Speaker 12: risk We don't want the feeling of being unprotected and vulnerable.

  Speaker 12: Exercise your rights today. You were strolling along in goodwill
• 39:48
  Speaker 12: when just past that mid-century side table and denim jacket
• 39:52
  Speaker 12: you spotted them, nestled in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 39:56
  Speaker 11: Oh, yes!
• 39:56
  Speaker 12: Miniature donut earrings. Yes!
• 40:16
  Speaker 13: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 40:21
  Speaker 13: favorite form of ear candy.
• 40:23
  Speaker 10: Oh, my. Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger
• 40:27
  Speaker 10: within you.
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: Shh. Do you smell that?
• 40:32
  Speaker 8: That's the sugary scent of shopping success.
• 40:36
  Speaker 7: For this is goodwill.
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: And with every item.
• 40:40
  Speaker 7: You buy, you fund local job training and more.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: So go forth.
• 40:46
  Speaker 19: Bring home those donut earrings.
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: And bring home so much.
• 40:49
  Speaker 7: Good to your community.
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: Goodwill.
• 40:55
  Speaker 10: Bring good home.
• 40:58
  Speaker 13: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 13: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 13: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 13: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 13: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:22
  Speaker 13: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 13: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:28
  Speaker 13: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:33
  Speaker 13: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 13: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.

  Speaker 8: first date?
• 42:56
  Speaker 5: Sure. We'll probably stay together.
• 42:59
  Speaker 14: Probably?
• 42:59
  Speaker 20: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: I can probably swim.
• 43:05
  Speaker 14: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, don't tell me what to do. Cannonball!
• 43:12
  Speaker 5: Cramp!
• 43:13
  Speaker 21: I have a cramp.
• 43:16
  Speaker 7: I can probably hit the green from here.
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: Probably.
• 43:24
  Speaker 8: Can I get a mulligan?
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: Ready to go?
• 43:27
  Speaker 8: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 43:35
  Speaker 14: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 43:39
  Speaker 14: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 43:42
  Speaker 14: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message

  Speaker 14: brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council.

  Speaker 3: Remember, that was Al Gore and his wife, Tipper.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: Before they decided they could use the environment to shut
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: us down, they just decided to shut us down.
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: Well, we'll just put warning labels on everything. And then,
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: of course, they realized that was like the best sales
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: marketing tool you could get. But when you want to
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: spread the word, and this country was not meant to
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: have this regulatory state that it has, including the FCC,
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: the FCC should for lack of a better purpose, be
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: like a deed collector. We have spectrum space, and we're
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: allowed to broadcast in a certain space. All this stuff
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: about what you're allowed to say on your transmitter or
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: not is, quite honestly, a perversion of what their process
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: should be, a perversion based on antiquated early 20th century
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: ideas that you can somehow make thought illegal. That if
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: you banned behaviors you didn't like, they would mystically go away,
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: like drinking or thinking. And so this regulatory state, and
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: we pick on the FCC.
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: Because I have to deal with them. but it's the EPA,
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: it's the DEA, education, energy and commerce, all of these
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: things that are the fruit of Alexander Hamilton's implied powers.
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: And so we've managed to wander off from a place
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: where the simple... I have God-given rights. Your job is
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: to make sure no one infringes them. And by make
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: sure no one infringes them, I mean punish the SOB
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: that does once you've caught him. The process is really...
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, the funny thing is, is Hamilton, maybe unintentionally,
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: set us on this route while being one of the
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: most eloquent... for the basics that we're talking about. Because
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: when he was out there talking to the farmers of
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: New York State, saying, please support this U.S. Constitution that
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: we are celebrating, it was at 239 this year, 239
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: years of the U.S. Constitution and the pile of crap
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: that is sitting on top of it. Of course you
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: can't find it. Like the deed to your house, it
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: is buried under a stack of papers that you keep
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: bringing home from the office. We need to clear the
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: decks and get back to the Constitution's simple the perversions
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: of things like the Commerce Clause. Their job was simply
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: to make regular interstate commerce. Here's a great story. I
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: hope he doesn't mind me telling this. He'll learn quickly
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: that if you text me something, there's a decent chance
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: it winds up on the air. Chris says he's listening
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: in Denmark, so we're on something or another. It doesn't
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: preclude the fact that I've checked the power at our
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: transmitter and it's fine. That's our flagship area. But here,
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: for example, just a generic fellow who grows, you know, Colorado,
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: first place in the union to legalize the wacky tobacco, right? Yet,
• 48:48
  Speaker 4: they lean on the people who make topical treatments out
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: of the cannabinoid oils, the CBD treatments. You can grow it,
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: you can make it, but you can't sell it. You
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: can't ship it within your state. It doesn't make any sense.
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: But you can have a dispensary selling the smokable stuff
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: all day and twice on Sunday. That's what I mean
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: when I say the government comes in there because they've
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: been paid for by some supporter to say, hey, lean
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: on this. When Andre Emoji, the head of Anthropic, says,
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: punish me, punish me. Because AI is scary, what he
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: means is protect my business. Protect my business from all
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: the other people who might start up AI companies. Notice
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: how when OpenAI or Anthropic say something is scary in AI,
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: it's always some little company that's kicking somebody in the shins.
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: This is This is one of the things that I
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: think a lot of my friends, and I included, feel
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: disquieted sometimes about the Trump administration because they are governing
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: in the now. And I can't begrudge them that. They
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: are governing the country they have been elected to. Me,
• 50:32
  Speaker 4: I'm out here talking about the country we're supposed to
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: be on this Constitution Day. And some of the blind
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: spots even in the Constitution, like the one we read earlier,
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: that allows each annual resetting of the House to write
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: their own rules, can do whatever you want, the parliamentary procedure.
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: And I think there needs to be guardrails there on
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: what you're allowed to do and what you're not allowed
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: to do, especially when it comes to committee assignments and
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: things like that. although Madison certainly eloquent in the fact
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: that by leaving things gentle, he made them flexible enough
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: that we can still to this day go into court
• 51:25
  Speaker 4: carrying our copy of the Bill of Rights, which came
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: two years later, and defend our right to speech, gathering,
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: due process, And Blair, I want to thank you because
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: we have published, somebody asked me about the text of
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: the constitutional amendment that will be coming soon to a
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: state near you if we pass it in Virginia, this
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: allowance for abortion right up to the minute of birth
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: for no other better reason than mom says, I'm feeling
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: clancy these days. That we've published it, and what Blair
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: caught was what part of the Virginia Constitution they were
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: looking to amend, which is the due process. Thank you
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: for your call, Blair. I appreciate that. As a matter
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: of fact, we're going to try to get something published
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: at DailySignal.com this morning on that very point. Tomorrow morning,
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: we're going to visit. We'll be talking to our friends
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: at City Elders. And if you don't have a City Elders...
