- 0:07Speaker 3: Do it live.
- 0:08Speaker 2: On the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
- 0:10Speaker 4: And we'll do it live.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Joe works hard to steal me up.
- 0:14Speaker 3: He's damn near every day. Including Saturdays.
- 0:17Speaker 5: He's for work when the sun comes up.
- 0:19Speaker 6: Drops a kid to school and all the way.
- 0:22Speaker 3: Joe has everything he dreamed of. All the treasures that
- 0:25Speaker 3: he needs.

- 0:30Speaker 8: He only aims.
- 0:30Speaker 3: To please you. Bless you for letting me be of
- 0:36Speaker 3: service to you this morning. So many choices, so many things. But,
- 0:44Speaker 3: you know, we are here to break down all the
- 0:47Speaker 3: stuff they tried to sneak out behind the back of
- 0:50Speaker 3: the American public on a Friday evening, figuring, oh, college football. Oh,
- 0:57Speaker 3: it's honey do list. It's autumn. It's, you know, All
- 1:02Speaker 3: the things that they claim that they know about you.
- 1:05Speaker 3: When I know that you know, that I know that
- 1:08Speaker 3: you know. And you want to discover something? And I
- 1:14Speaker 3: had forgotten the entomology of that expression. That whole I
- 1:20Speaker 3: know that you know, that you know that I know.
- 1:23Speaker 3: And it was turned into a gag thing. I think
- 1:28Speaker 3: it was a Saturday Night Live with Robin Williams. Somebody
- 1:31Speaker 3: did a gag on the Honeymooners. Norton, I know that
- 1:34Speaker 3: you know that I know that I know that you know.
- 1:41Speaker 3: And yeah, you see some phraseology like that if you
- 1:44Speaker 3: go find old Honeymooners episodes. But I happen to be
- 1:47Speaker 3: watching one of my favorite plays, but also films, The
- 1:53Speaker 3: Lion in Winter. And Jeffrey, speaking to his mother, Eleanor
- 2:01Speaker 3: of Aquitaine, does the whole, well, I know, and you
- 2:05Speaker 3: know that I know, and Father knows that you know
- 2:09Speaker 3: that I know. And I'm just listening to it, saying, oh,
- 2:11Speaker 3: my God, he's doing the I know that you know
- 2:13Speaker 3: that I know in the middle of this whole thing.
- 2:16Speaker 3: And what a movie. And you forget some of the
- 2:21Speaker 3: people that got their start. in that, I mean, it's
- 2:24Speaker 3: Peter O'Toole and Catherine Hepburn for sure, and they dominate.
- 2:28Speaker 3: Timothy Dalton? I know it's apropos of nothing, but it's just,
- 2:35Speaker 3: it is, it's the beginnings of the roses. This is
- 2:39Speaker 3: the beginning of the Plantagenet era of England that winds
- 2:44Speaker 3: up with the Magna Carta. And John, the little driveling nebbish,
- 2:49Speaker 3: Nigel Terry, in the movie, is the reason we have
- 2:54Speaker 3: the country we have right now. I mean, aside from
- 2:58Speaker 3: all the bad stuff that we do to each other,
- 3:01Speaker 3: but it's marvelous. And if you've never seen The Lion
- 3:07Speaker 3: in Winter, you should grab it, rent it. I think
- 3:11Speaker 3: it's Tubi right now with some ads in it. The
- 3:15Speaker 3: nice thing about Tubi is they say, ad coming up
- 3:17Speaker 3: in 10 seconds. just doesn't drop in on you like
- 3:21Speaker 3: they do to some of the web streams. I always
- 3:24Speaker 3: tell people, don't go to some of these web stream
- 3:26Speaker 3: aggregators because they just drop their own ads wherever the
- 3:30Speaker 3: hell they want. I get emails from people saying, well,
- 3:34Speaker 3: I hate it when the ad cuts you off. And
- 3:36Speaker 3: I say, when did the ad cut me off? Oh,
- 3:38Speaker 3: you were right in the middle and then you came
- 3:39Speaker 3: back like 30 seconds later after the ad and you
- 3:42Speaker 3: were in the middle of some other conversation with someone.
- 3:45Speaker 3: So it wasn't me. So These aggregator sites, they just
- 3:49Speaker 3: drop their ads in. I think they're on a clock. Anyway,
- 3:53Speaker 3: our first things this morning, the FlyDubai co-pilot, who officials
- 3:58Speaker 3: said nearly crashed that Tel Aviv-bound flight with 182 people
- 4:03Speaker 3: on board, was barred from flying in his native Oman
- 4:07Speaker 3: over concerns that he had adopted extremist views. They call
- 4:12Speaker 3: human resources, and we need to work on their intake process.
- 4:17Speaker 3: A person familiar with the matter said Saturday the co-pilot
- 4:21Speaker 3: was subsequently hired by the United Arab Emirates-based FlyDubai. President
- 4:28Speaker 3: Trump rallied supporters in Alabama Friday, saying that you need
- 4:34Speaker 3: to return Senator Tommy Tuberville to the Senate, and he
- 4:40Speaker 3: needs to vote for Tommy Tuberville for governor, and Representative
- 4:45Speaker 3: Rhett Marcus said, who's trying to flip the second congressional
- 4:50Speaker 3: district seat. A forensic medicine expert served as cause of
- 4:54Speaker 3: death consultant in the George Floyd case will present an
- 4:59Speaker 3: independent analysis of Jeffrey Epstein's autopsy at University College in
- 5:05Speaker 3: London next month, re-examining the official finding that the financier
- 5:10Speaker 3: killed himself.
- 5:11Speaker 5: Dr.
- 5:11Speaker 3: Michael Friedman said, is scheduled to deliver the lecture. According
- 5:21Speaker 3: to the university, Freeman will compare the New York City
- 5:24Speaker 3: medical examiner's reasoning with autopsy evidence and report on conditions
- 5:30Speaker 3: he believes are present to debunk the idea that Epstein
- 5:34Speaker 3: killed himself. President Trump said Friday he doesn't believe the
- 5:38Speaker 3: seven former Cornell University fraternity brothers accused in a lawsuit
- 5:43Speaker 3: of raping a fellow student will get a fair shake
- 5:46Speaker 3: now that the state attorney general, Letitia James, has been
- 5:49Speaker 3: appointed special prosecutor by Governor Kathy Hochul. And U.S. senators
- 5:56Speaker 3: who have proliferation concerns have set a December 13th vote
- 6:01Speaker 3: on the president's deal with Saudi Arabia to allow them
- 6:06Speaker 3: to get nuclear weapons. I write for the Daily Signal,
- 6:12Speaker 3: and a piece just went up there about taxes and gambling,
- 6:17Speaker 3: sin taxes as they call them, and the problems with
- 6:22Speaker 3: an industry that is hemorrhaging cash, apparently. Apparently, sometimes the
- 6:28Speaker 3: house loses, like a lot. Caesar's Palace, or Caesar's Entertainment,
- 6:34Speaker 3: carrying $ 11. 7 billion in debt. and now sold in a
- 6:39Speaker 3: lot of states saying, oh, what? Didn't we just build
- 6:42Speaker 3: a Caesar's Palace in Danville, Virginia? I cover Virginia stories
- 6:47Speaker 3: for The Daily Signal. We have great reporters like Rebecca
- 6:50Speaker 3: Downs in Ohio. Nothing weird happening in Ohio these days.
- 6:55Speaker 3: You can get it all through Rebecca's reporting. We have Texas, Georgia, California,
- 7:00Speaker 3: all at Daily Signal.
- 7:01Speaker 9: Let's see, if something costs less, a lot less, but
- 7:04Speaker 9: people are actually happier with it, That sounds like something
- 7:07Speaker 9: to look into.
- 7:08Speaker 3: And that's Metashare.
- 7:10Speaker 9: Maybe you've heard joining Metashare can save you or your
- 7:12Speaker 9: family up to 500 bucks a month.
- 7:15Speaker 2: And that's huge.
- 7:15Speaker 3: But it's also true. People are just happier with it.
- 7:18Speaker 9: They love being part of something that reflects and promotes
- 7:21Speaker 9: their values and what they believe in.
- 7:23Speaker 3: MediShare works too.
- 7:24Speaker 9: It's been around for 30 years now and members have
- 7:27Speaker 9: shared more than $ 7 billion of each other's bills. People
- 7:31Speaker 9: love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network. So yeah, really,
- 7:36Speaker 9: you can save a ton and like it better. Imagine

- 8:03Speaker 6: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 6: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 6: I'm Dr.
- 8:13Speaker 10: Mitch.
- 8:14Speaker 6: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation... Our optimized curcumin seems
- 8:20Speaker 6: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 8:24Speaker 6: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 8:28Speaker 6: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 8:32Speaker 6: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
- 8:39Speaker 6: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or at
- 8:43Speaker 6: least slow the spread of cancer. and in many instances,
- 8:47Speaker 6: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
- 8:52Speaker 6: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,

- 9:58Speaker 5: Hi, everybody.
- 9:59Speaker 12: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
- 10:01Speaker 12: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 12: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 12: but also their tireless work ethic.
- 10:08Speaker 3: Just look at the birds who.
- 10:09Speaker 12: Gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes. who work
- 10:13Speaker 12: hard to provide for their young. Or penguins, who travel
- 10:15Speaker 12: up to 500 miles to secure.
- 10:17Speaker 13: Food for their families.
- 10:18Speaker 12: Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them to navigate
- 10:21Speaker 12: the trees and the wild in search of fruit. This
- 10:24Speaker 12: remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends, the canines.
- 10:28Speaker 12: We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home, but
- 10:30Speaker 12: because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving work
- 10:33Speaker 12: every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort
- 10:36Speaker 12: returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They work
- 10:39Speaker 12: with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in their
- 10:42Speaker 12: blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly trained
- 10:45Speaker 12: roles that contribute to society.
- 10:46Speaker 3: And help those in need.
- 10:47Speaker 12: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
- 10:50Speaker 12: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this

- 11:01Speaker 15: Oh, yeah?
- 11:01Speaker 3: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 11:04Speaker 14: And now a speech.
- 11:06Speaker 15: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 11:10Speaker 3: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 4: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
- 11:15Speaker 16: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
- 11:18Speaker 16: somebody call me a ride.
- 11:19Speaker 14: Love that guy.
- 11:20Speaker 7: Me too.

- 11:23Speaker 5: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.

- 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

- 12:32Speaker 1: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
- 12:35Speaker 1: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased

- 13:12Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 13:26Speaker 3: Really? You've been waiting how long to do this? Okay,
- 13:34Speaker 3: for the record, as far as we know here at
- 13:38Speaker 3: First Thing Today.
- 13:40Speaker 3: No relation. But, you know, so there's a guy named
- 13:45Speaker 3: Mangione in the news, and you've been waiting two years
- 13:49Speaker 3: now to do that? You're frightening. You are frightening. You know, Luigi,
- 14:00Speaker 3: body camera footage released by the Altoona police, I believe
- 14:04Speaker 3: was where he was arrested at the restaurant in Altoona
- 14:13Speaker 3: after assassinating the head of U.S. healthcare, United Healthcare, Brian Thompson,
- 14:25Speaker 3: went on the run because he didn't know. And all
- 14:29Speaker 3: these defenses, well, he ran away. He ran away and
- 14:34Speaker 3: sat in a restaurant with a woke mask on his
- 14:36Speaker 3: face in 2024. Manhattan judge unsealed the recordings Friday because
- 14:47Speaker 3: CNN asked. Some of the video was shown during the hearings.
- 14:57Speaker 3: Mangione's lawyers were trying to get some of the evidence
- 15:00Speaker 3: thrown out, including the statements he made to the police
- 15:05Speaker 3: in this initial arrest. Other people now, of course, now
- 15:13Speaker 3: that they're out there, the Internet becomes the Internet again.
- 15:16Speaker 3: And everyone who's seen all the episodes of Columbo are saying, well,
- 15:21Speaker 3: you know, the police planted that. You know, where where
- 15:23Speaker 3: did the police officer get that clip in his bag
- 15:26Speaker 3: just conveniently? And like like the police officer is a
- 15:30Speaker 3: trained prestidigitator. Is David Copperfield working part time for the
- 15:36Speaker 3: Altoona Police Department? But it gets, you know, CNN, some clicks,
- 15:46Speaker 3: not about, you know, Caitlin Collins and Donald Trump, I guess,
- 15:49Speaker 3: is how that rolls. Our friends at JCSGold.com, seeing more rollbacks.
- 15:54Speaker 3: Great weekend if you want to shop. If you already
- 15:59Speaker 3: have a plan about gold and silver. If you don't
- 16:01Speaker 3: have a plan about gold and silver, hang till Monday
- 16:05Speaker 3: and talk to a family that has been doing this
- 16:07Speaker 3: since 1961. Gold right now trading about $ 40, just under
- 16:14Speaker 3: $ 40 down from yesterday, $ 4, 140, $ 0. 46. Silver's down about $ 0. 62
- 16:21Speaker 3: to $ 60, $ 0. 38, but it's been hovering. It's been hovering,
- 16:26Speaker 3: and you can buy a bunch of stuff just at
- 16:29Speaker 3: spot price in their silver market if you go to jcsgold.com.
- 16:34Speaker 3: But like I said, if you don't already have a
- 16:36Speaker 3: plan for it, Call them on Monday. Talk to them.
- 16:39Speaker 3: They're not upselling. They're not on a quota. It's a
- 16:41Speaker 3: family business that, you know, they do okay. And they
- 16:44Speaker 3: don't need to be upselling you. Closers don't get coffee
- 16:47Speaker 3: where they are. 434-979-2646. President Trump is getting a lot
- 16:57Speaker 3: of run in the press for a, was it Time Magazine?
- 17:01Speaker 3: Time Magazine interview. They still do interviews at Time. I
- 17:05Speaker 3: guess that's the part that surprised me the most about it,
- 17:07Speaker 3: is that I guess somewhere Time Magazine still publishes. Do
- 17:13Speaker 3: they have a Substack page? Maybe that's where a lot
- 17:16Speaker 3: of magazine reporting went anyway. Just a website? I guess
- 17:21Speaker 3: it costs less to print that. I've seen the cost
- 17:24Speaker 3: of making these websites, though. I think you'd probably be
- 17:30Speaker 3: better off printing hard copies these days. But in a
- 17:36Speaker 3: sit-down with Time magazine that came out this week, he
- 17:39Speaker 3: said he was asked if he was pleased or disappointed
- 17:46Speaker 3: with the rulings that some of his Supreme Court justices
- 17:50Speaker 3: have been part of. What can I do, President Trump
- 17:56Speaker 3: told Time magazine when asked if he regrets nominating them. Yeah, yeah,
- 18:02Speaker 3: what can I do? I put them in. And they
- 18:04Speaker 3: voted against me too often. Now, here's the thing. This
- 18:08Speaker 3: is the pull clip. Press has picked this up, excerpted that,
- 18:15Speaker 3: and has run with it. Look, Donald Trump wants to
- 18:18Speaker 3: be king. It's how you get to be 70 and
- 18:27Speaker 3: alive and president all at the same time. So they
- 18:35Speaker 3: stop right there, and this is what the press does.
- 18:37Speaker 3: This is not the fulsomeness of what President Trump said.
- 18:44Speaker 3: I gave them the position of a lifetime, and they
- 18:47Speaker 3: vote against me often. Maybe they expand to that. I've
- 18:50Speaker 3: seen a couple of blogs expand to that. But here
- 18:53Speaker 3: is his point on that, that Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan,
- 19:01Speaker 3: and Katanji Brown-Jackson Stick like glue, he said to Time magazine.
- 19:08Speaker 3: They vote as a group. They have loyalty to Barack
- 19:11Speaker 3: Hussein Obama. They have loyalty to Biden, even though Biden
- 19:15Speaker 3: doesn't even know who the hell they are. And that
- 19:19Speaker 3: was the point of his statement, his disappointment that they
- 19:22Speaker 3: ruled against him in some cases, because you don't get
- 19:25Speaker 3: that same kind of jurisprudence from the left. There was
- 19:34Speaker 3: a joke made here in our flagship state that the
- 19:36Speaker 3: Virginia Democratic Party or certainly the Virginia government could save
- 19:40Speaker 3: a fortune in these elected officials from the Democratic Party.
- 19:45Speaker 3: Just elect one because they all vote the same. There's
- 19:51Speaker 3: no chance of prying one away from someone else. So
- 19:55Speaker 3: they're just basically getting a pretty good stipend for standing
- 20:00Speaker 3: there and doing what everyone else does. pressed about the
- 20:11Speaker 3: question and, again, left out of a lot of the
- 20:13Speaker 3: rhetoric that the talk media world is, you know, oh, look,
- 20:17Speaker 3: Trump said, Trump said, no, I don't want loyalty. I
- 20:20Speaker 3: want good decisions. The tariff decision was disastrous for the country.
- 20:26Speaker 3: I want good decisions for the country. Now, you could
- 20:29Speaker 3: make the argument, bring better cases before the court. Because
- 20:38Speaker 3: this is what I've said for years about the Supreme Court,
- 20:41Speaker 3: that people get frustrated because it's easy to demagogue. And
- 20:45Speaker 3: I hate, I loathe the simple. I mean, I love
- 20:49Speaker 3: the fact that America is simple. The concept of live freely,
- 20:53Speaker 3: just don't violate somebody else's rights. We can't manage to
- 20:59Speaker 3: do that, but that's because we're humans and we want
- 21:02Speaker 3: to tell other people what to do. Human nature is becoming...
- 21:08Speaker 3: Karens and Kevins. We just want the government to tell
- 21:12Speaker 3: everyone else how they should live like us. And it's
- 21:16Speaker 3: nice to feel like you were right all along, but
- 21:19Speaker 3: I don't want the government telling you to say I
- 21:21Speaker 3: was right. Because if there is a ruling, and I
- 21:31Speaker 3: would love to, I agree wholeheartedly with President Trump, I
- 21:35Speaker 3: would love to see Obamacare struck down by Ketanji Brown Jackson,
- 21:42Speaker 3: rather than have to defend the fact that John Roberts
- 21:46Speaker 3: changed the wording of the law so that it would
- 21:51Speaker 3: be constitutional, which was unprecedented. So you did what? You
- 21:58Speaker 3: changed the law?
- 22:01Speaker 15: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National Lead Trainer for Planet Fitness,
- 22:05Speaker 15: and the American Heart Association recommends that we all get
- 22:08Speaker 15: at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity in a

- 23:01Speaker 18: But now, as wind energy continues to grow, many of
- 23:05Speaker 18: these vessels, these companies, these people are building and servicing
- 23:09Speaker 18: the offshore wind industry. Moving equipment, installing turbines, transporting crews.
- 23:14Speaker 3: It's a huge opportunity, and we're proud.
- 23:16Speaker 13: To be a part of that.
- 23:17Speaker 15: U.S.

- 24:03Speaker 6: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 24:07Speaker 6: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 24:12Speaker 6: I'm Dr.
- 24:13Speaker 13: Mitch.
- 24:14Speaker 6: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
- 24:19Speaker 6: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 24:24Speaker 6: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 24:28Speaker 6: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 24:32Speaker 6: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
- 24:39Speaker 6: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
- 24:43Speaker 6: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
- 24:46Speaker 6: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
- 24:52Speaker 6: from radiation. TotalWellness.com where we help you to look good,

- 25:57Speaker 3: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 25:59Speaker 8: And now a speech.
- 26:02Speaker 6: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 26:06Speaker 6: Heart and brain.
- 26:07Speaker 3: Who's with me?
- 26:08Speaker 4: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
- 26:10Speaker 8: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody.
- 26:14Speaker 3: Call me a ride.
- 26:15Speaker 14: Love that guy.
- 26:16Speaker 1: Me too.
- 26:16Speaker 5: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when

- 26:30Speaker 17: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills too.
- 26:34Speaker 17: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home

- 26:40Speaker 17: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.

- 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

- 28:20Speaker 2: First thing today, by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 28:26Speaker 6: This is Faber College in 1962.
- 28:28Speaker 13: You know, 1962 had to be the best year of
- 28:32Speaker 13: my life.
- 28:33Speaker 18: I was a member of Delta Tau Chi.
- 28:42Speaker 3: The Deltas.
- 28:43Speaker 18: What a great bunch of guys.
- 28:48Speaker 3: So a lot of people, trivia question, if you want
- 28:51Speaker 3: to have fun at a party, see how many people
- 28:53Speaker 3: can name all the Ivy League colleges. Everyone knows Harvard
- 28:59Speaker 3: and Yale. Some people know Princeton. Do you get a
- 29:04Speaker 3: struggle to get people to name Brown? Penn? Penn. And Cornell,
- 29:13Speaker 3: Cornell's a, yeah, yeah, Cornell's in the Ivy League. And
- 29:20Speaker 3: I know Clark sent me this conservative treehouse. They're talking
- 29:24Speaker 3: about the electoral reason that this Cornell 7 is going on.
- 29:29Speaker 3: I'm not, and sure, you can make the case and
- 29:33Speaker 3: he's pulling all these different things and Matt Gaetz and
- 29:35Speaker 3: all this stuff. But there was a back before Rolling
- 29:43Speaker 3: Stone vanished in a puff of logic back back when
- 29:46Speaker 3: they still celebrated Hunter S. Thompson's idea of gonzo journalism,
- 29:51Speaker 3: which is if you don't have a story, make one up.
- 29:57Speaker 3: I mean, it is called a story, right? I think
- 29:59Speaker 3: that was Hunter Thompson's point, was sometimes it's journalism, sometimes
- 30:05Speaker 3: it's just a story. How was I to know he
- 30:09Speaker 3: wasn't really addicted to Ibogaine? And such was the case
- 30:18Speaker 3: of a story called A Rape on Campus. See, the
- 30:21Speaker 3: University of Virginia likes to fancy itself an Ivy League school,
- 30:26Speaker 3: sanctified as one of the top public universities. So, you know,
- 30:30Speaker 3: not as restrictive as an Ivy League school, but with
- 30:36Speaker 3: the standards of an Ivy League school. So when the
- 30:39Speaker 3: Cornell 7 story comes, and I think about that fateful
- 30:45Speaker 3: Rolling Stone cover story, a rape on campus, which was
- 30:51Speaker 3: recanted by the very person who called the Rolling Stone
- 30:55Speaker 3: reporter about it. the Duke lacrosse team, who was one
- 31:06Speaker 3: of the first instances of bonus years of eligibility from
- 31:13Speaker 3: the NCAA because they had had two years of their
- 31:17Speaker 3: eligibility removed because they were under this accusation that turned
- 31:21Speaker 3: out to be.
- 31:25Speaker 1: False.
- 31:30Speaker 3: And Here we go again.
- 31:33Speaker 5: Sure.
- 31:33Speaker 3: I mean, it's the point the author and conservative Treehouse
- 31:39Speaker 3: makes is apt as well. Oh, midterms. What does he
- 31:44Speaker 3: call them? The offals? The affluent white female liberals? Offals?
- 31:54Speaker 3: The same ones you see wearing no ice T-shirts. marching
- 31:59Speaker 3: around chanting about no kings, the same ones you'll find
- 32:05Speaker 3: at a living wage rally. And when you ask them
- 32:11Speaker 3: how many people they employ, they don't have any. They're like, oh, no,
- 32:15Speaker 3: I don't. My husband's a professor at the university. I'm
- 32:19Speaker 3: on the board of the United Way. And I'm not
- 32:22Speaker 3: picking on the United Way. I'm sorry. It was just
- 32:24Speaker 3: the first nonprofit that came to my head. I'm on
- 32:27Speaker 3: the board of the Humane Society. I'm on the board
- 32:30Speaker 3: of PETA. They serve on a lot of boards. A
- 32:37Speaker 3: lot of them could be named Karen, too. A lot
- 32:40Speaker 3: of them are the ones that run around saying, you're
- 32:43Speaker 3: doing something wrong. You've got brown skin. Your daughter's got
- 32:47Speaker 3: light skin. You must be human trafficking. Have you seen
- 32:50Speaker 3: that video circulating the internet? She's under arrest, smug. And
- 32:56Speaker 3: she is in California court like, check me out. Another
- 33:01Speaker 3: one whose last good marble fell from their tenuous grip.
- 33:07Speaker 3: She's a hot mess. And again, people are like, oh, look,
- 33:12Speaker 3: those are conservatives. Those are your listeners, Joe. No, they're not.
- 33:15Speaker 3: I mean, they may be listening. And I'm trying to
- 33:17Speaker 3: get them and hopefully the testimony of programs like this
- 33:21Speaker 3: one or just this one. gets them to hold on
- 33:25Speaker 3: to that last good marble a little bit longer. So
- 33:34Speaker 3: a lot is being made in the press of what
- 33:37Speaker 3: should be done. Now Letitia James has started to put
- 33:40Speaker 3: her crucifixes together, not for a religious right, but to
- 33:44Speaker 3: crucify these seven Cornelians. And I don't say this You know,
- 33:49Speaker 3: we mentioned this on the program in the previous few weeks.
- 33:53Speaker 3: My dad's a Cornellian, was a Cornellian. My grandfather was
- 33:58Speaker 3: a Cornellian. I think his grandfather was a Cornellian as well. No,
- 34:03Speaker 3: I don't know. Don't ask why the hell I'm not
- 34:05Speaker 3: a Cornellian. Partially because they didn't have a broadcasting degree.
- 34:09Speaker 3: Although Dick Schaap did okay after going to Cornell. And
- 34:16Speaker 3: the problem with these kind of cases... And we went
- 34:21Speaker 3: through this when the Rolling Stone rape on campus story
- 34:26Speaker 3: came out, was that because they're celebrity and salacious, they
- 34:37Speaker 3: damage actual rape and sexual assault victims' attempts to get justice. Ah,
- 34:51Speaker 3: Kareem caught me. I left Columbia out. Yeah, New York,
- 34:54Speaker 3: Manhattan Island has an Ivy League school. And the horrific
- 35:12Speaker 3: thing is, and I've said this in regards to capital punishment. Gee,
- 35:17Speaker 3: hold it. Was that yesterday's program? Oh, my gosh. I
- 35:20Speaker 3: have often said that the one form of capital punishment
- 35:24Speaker 3: I would be fine with is for rape. It's my
- 35:32Speaker 3: contention that a rape victim's nightmare, the crime of the rape,
- 35:39Speaker 3: continues for perhaps an eternity with the rape victim. As
- 35:47Speaker 3: crass as it sounds, the murder victim has already been murdered,
- 35:51Speaker 3: but a rape victim goes on getting raped every day.
- 35:59Speaker 3: But these cases, these celebrity cases, wind up harming the
- 36:06Speaker 3: real victims of sexual assault. Every time, whether it's Duke Lacrosse,
- 36:24Speaker 3: there's always the unnamed, the people who don't get a
- 36:32Speaker 3: story on the cover of Rolling Stone that actually have
- 36:34Speaker 3: been raped by a gang of guys who have so
- 36:38Speaker 3: little going for them that they have to engage in
- 36:42Speaker 3: this kind of stuff. The conservative treehouse piece is about
- 36:52Speaker 3: how this is trying to motivate suburban women. And this
- 36:56Speaker 3: has been a campaign since 2020, really. Maybe 2018. Democratic
- 37:03Speaker 3: Party said in 2018 way too many suburban women voted
- 37:07Speaker 3: for Trump. And that if the Democratic Party was losing
- 37:12Speaker 3: black voters, they needed to go replace them with suburban
- 37:15Speaker 3: white voters. So it was the Billy Bush video. which
- 37:20Speaker 3: Billy Bush himself, we have the clip still of that,
- 37:23Speaker 3: Billy Bush himself said, no, that was cooked up by ABC.
- 37:31Speaker 3: Creatively edited, context completely removed from the statement. And that's
- 37:41Speaker 3: where trying these things in the court of public opinion
- 37:44Speaker 3: is a nightmare. And I feel for the police chief
- 37:47Speaker 3: in Ithaca, New York, tasked with doing this. I watched
- 37:51Speaker 3: it happen here in Virginia because at these college campuses, remember,
- 37:55Speaker 3: one of the things about Title IX is the local
- 37:58Speaker 3: police can't investigate it. It's got to be done.
- 38:02Speaker 6: In a study, it was found that 33% of 44

- 44:13Speaker 6: Here is the sound of thousands of sounds.
- 44:16Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 44:21Speaker 3: On this Saturday morning, so much going on and to
- 44:25Speaker 3: belabor any of it is the whole situation of the
- 44:32Speaker 3: diesel fuel prices still is a dog and pony show
- 44:38Speaker 3: because it's about refine, baby, refine. All these governments, they
- 44:42Speaker 3: have crude oil sitting around and I think there's a
- 44:45Speaker 3: stability thing. Like, you can't have fuel just sitting around
- 44:54Speaker 3: the way you have the raw material. So Europe's releasing
- 45:00Speaker 3: its strategic reserve designed to power the tanks if they
- 45:06Speaker 3: need a blitzkrieg again. I mean, if they need defense again.
- 45:13Speaker 3: Chancellor The Chancellor of Germany warning against Russian aggressions towards Germany.
- 45:21Speaker 3: History doesn't repeat itself for sure, but it sure does rhyme.
- 45:27Speaker 3: I'm just saying. I mean, to be fair, back engineering,
- 45:31Speaker 3: Germany already controls Europe now as opposed to 90 years
- 45:37Speaker 3: ago when they were trying to control Europe.
- 45:42Speaker 1: What?
- 45:43Speaker 3: Hurt your feelings? Sorry, not sorry. So who's sending oil
- 45:51Speaker 3: to who? Who's sending diesel? Get it into a refinery
- 45:55Speaker 3: and get it back to us so that there's more
- 45:58Speaker 3: on the pumps. And you know what's fascinating to me
- 46:02Speaker 3: about these Democrats? And Ohio just voted to extend its
- 46:06Speaker 3: gas tax holiday. But all these, the Mikey Sheryls and
- 46:12Speaker 3: the Abigail Spanbergers, and even the Shapiro, John Shapiro, where
- 46:20Speaker 3: are your gas tax? Shapiro at least did a temporary
- 46:24Speaker 3: gas tax suspension. Drive through Pennsylvania now, it's back. So
- 46:32Speaker 3: Ohio has extended their gas tax moratorium. And none of
- 46:42Speaker 3: these states, and there's an expression in engineering, certain chemicals
- 46:49Speaker 3: are designed to, quote, expand to fit the package. You
- 46:55Speaker 3: think of foam and things like that, but a lot
- 46:57Speaker 3: of legislation expands to fit the package. We'll give you
- 47:03Speaker 3: a billion dollars for your refining capabilities, and all of
- 47:07Speaker 3: a sudden you're using right up, and then you need more.
- 47:11Speaker 3: just becomes a sand pit, quicksand. And you just wind up,
- 47:17Speaker 3: you're flailing around and it's sucking you in like some
- 47:27Speaker 3: quicksand pit in the Great Society forest. But the group
- 47:32Speaker 3: of seven said that they will release 100 million barrels
- 47:37Speaker 3: of oil and fuel products in the coming weeks so
- 47:42Speaker 3: that the U.S. doesn't have to export so much of ours,
- 47:45Speaker 3: but it still has to get to a refinery so
- 47:48Speaker 3: we can put it in the trucks. I mean, unless
- 47:53Speaker 3: you want every single McDonald's and Burger King and Wendy's
- 47:56Speaker 3: to be drained of all their fry oil, that's what
- 48:01Speaker 3: you're going to have to do. And I don't know
- 48:04Speaker 3: what you make of this, but now a guy's out
- 48:07Speaker 3: there doing his Who was this? Dr. Michael Bodden. Remember Dr.
- 48:11Speaker 3: Michael Bodden? Are you old enough to remember Dr. Michael Bodden?
- 48:16Speaker 3: If you've got as many miles on your odometer as
- 48:19Speaker 3: I do, he was the OJ forensics expert. And Marsha
- 48:28Speaker 3: Clark kept trying to get his assertions thrown out because
- 48:33Speaker 3: he hadn't seen and he hadn't gone. And of course,
- 48:36Speaker 3: every time she opposed, they said, well, let them see
- 48:39Speaker 3: the autopsy records. Let them go. No, no, no, no, no.
- 48:43Speaker 3: Respect for the, I don't know, whatever it is they
- 48:47Speaker 3: had respect for. But now it's Epstein, so everything's okay.
- 48:57Speaker 3: And we can have this guy go out there and
- 48:59Speaker 3: make a fortune for himself on the speaking tour. telling
- 49:07Speaker 3: us what we all had a feeling about anyway. You
- 49:09Speaker 3: want to talk about confirmation bias. Let me go out
- 49:15Speaker 3: and tell a bunch of people that didn't think Jeffrey
- 49:17Speaker 3: Epstein killed himself that I don't think Jeffrey Epstein killed
- 49:20Speaker 3: himself and then I'll profit. There's a skill to retransmitting
- 49:31Speaker 3: what the room already knows and sound like you're giving
- 49:36Speaker 3: them new information. It is a talent. the successful longstanding
- 49:43Speaker 3: politicians will walk into a NRA meeting and be able
- 49:48Speaker 3: to talk about, if they want to stay in Congress,
- 49:52Speaker 3: what they're doing against the NRA or using the NRA's
- 49:56Speaker 3: money to beat them up with. So you've got to,
- 50:06Speaker 3: when you look at these stories about whether or not
- 50:11Speaker 3: Epstein killed themselves. Me, I look at it and say, okay, so?
- 50:19Speaker 3: Not so what, but just, okay, so he killed himself.
- 50:24Speaker 10: Why?
- 50:25Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know. No, you see, without the why,
- 50:30Speaker 3: why did he kill himself? Was he despondent? If he
- 50:32Speaker 3: was depressed, why wasn't he posted around the clock guards?
- 50:41Speaker 3: You know all the things that could have been fashioned
- 50:44Speaker 3: into a noose should have been taken out of his pen.
- 50:55Speaker 3: So the dog and pony show continues. And then, you know,
- 51:03Speaker 3: comes this story that Medicaid is.
- 51:12Speaker 3: Kicking all of these people. I love the phrases in
- 51:16Speaker 3: this Medicaid story. So October 1st, the Medicaid changes in
- 51:22Speaker 3: the one big beautiful bill restricting who gets Medicaid. And
- 51:30Speaker 3: all the activists, oh, these people, your neighbors. What did
- 51:38Speaker 3: Mayor Fry in Minneapolis call them?
- 51:40Speaker 18: Our neighbors.
- 51:41Speaker 3: Our abuelos and our baristas. And they're mischaracterizing who these
- 51:51Speaker 3: people are. Oh, these neighbors of yours are going to
- 51:55Speaker 3: lose their health care. Well, if they're not citizens, I
- 51:59Speaker 3: don't want to be fitting the bill for anybody's health care.
- 52:07Speaker 3: Especially a bunch of able-bodied folks who don't need it.
- 52:12Speaker 3: at a day-to-day basis, but they get it through their
- 52:16Speaker 3: asylum status. 434-882-4217 will break down the news of the day,
- 52:29Speaker 3: how it's impacting you, the singular most important local aspect
- 52:33Speaker 3: of the radio station coming up. And don't forget to

- 52:40Speaker 3: our Trans-Siberian Orchestra giveaway coming up very soon. We'll do
- 52:46Speaker 3: another drawing out of some of the entries. Do we have?
- 52:51Speaker 2: My name is Bobby.
- 52:52Speaker 13: I'm a veteran and lost my leg to a roadside bomb.
- 52:55Speaker 17: My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a
- 52:58Speaker 17: weightlifting champion.
- 53:00Speaker 4: I'm Sam.
- 53:01Speaker 2: I'm a veteran.
- 53:02Speaker 15: My victory was finding a career I can be proud
- 53:04Speaker 15: of and supporting my family.
