- 0:04Speaker 1: We'll do it live.
- 0:04Speaker 2: Making mornings great again.
- 0:06Speaker 3: We'll do it live.
- 0:07Speaker 2: First thing today.
- 0:07Speaker 3: Do it live.
- 0:08Speaker 2: On the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
- 0:11Speaker 4: And we'll do it live.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Joe works at the steel mill.
- 0:14Speaker 3: He's damn near every day. Leaves for work when the
- 0:18Speaker 3: sun comes up.
- 0:19Speaker 5: Drops the kids to school and on the way.
- 0:22Speaker 3: Joe has everything he dreamed of.
- 0:24Speaker 6: All the treasures that he needs.
- 0:27Speaker 7: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
- 0:30Speaker 8: He only aims to please you.
- 0:35Speaker 3: Oh, bless you for letting me be of service to you.
- 0:42Speaker 3: I have no tricks, just treats. On this All Hallows
- 0:46Speaker 3: Eve text message, Tina wrote in, thank you for giving
- 0:49Speaker 3: me something to think about. I had been one of
- 0:53Speaker 3: those folks that just reacted badly to the idea of Halloween.
- 0:56Speaker 3: Now I realize I'm just reacting badly to how it's
- 0:59Speaker 3: been perverted. Gee, just another thing that the American... society
- 1:05Speaker 3: has perverted and lost the meaning of through time. Hail commercialism.
- 1:11Speaker 3: Don't blame... All right, commercialism. I think ism is a
- 1:16Speaker 3: suffix we all need to be aware of. Ism, and
- 1:21Speaker 3: I'm not a linguist, but I truly believe that an ism.
- 1:28Speaker 9: Is a.
- 1:30Speaker 3: Perversion in and of itself of.
- 1:36Speaker 3: The original thing. So Dr. Robert Malone, wonderful researcher that
- 1:43Speaker 3: came up with the idea of using mRNA to help
- 1:48Speaker 3: target medical treatments and to help create things that weren't
- 1:54Speaker 3: there before and make them now. He coined the phrase scientism.
- 2:02Speaker 3: Scientism being Something that appears to be scientific but really isn't. Americanism.
- 2:11Speaker 3: Americanism is something that appears to be American but isn't.
- 2:20Speaker 3: Like James Tallarico. Exactly. That's a very good point. That's
- 2:23Speaker 3: well said. Well said. Double point score. Commerce is fine.
- 2:32Speaker 3: Commercialism is something that looks like commerce but isn't. Why
- 2:40Speaker 3: don't we talk about All Hallows' Eve? Partially because the
- 2:45Speaker 3: government doesn't want you going to your cemetery at night.
- 2:48Speaker 3: Partially because we don't have our own cemeteries anymore. We
- 2:53Speaker 3: don't have a place where grandma and grandpa are buried
- 2:57Speaker 3: out in the backyard anymore. I mean, you know, maybe
- 3:01Speaker 3: there's a cat out there. I don't know. But for
- 3:03Speaker 3: the most part, you know, there's a municipal cemetery that
- 3:07Speaker 3: needs to close because they can't afford to have people
- 3:10Speaker 3: stay all night anymore because they've wasted their tax money
- 3:14Speaker 3: on other stuff. But I appreciate the text message. Our
- 3:17Speaker 3: first things this morning masquerading as a Senate candidate, Michael,
- 3:24Speaker 3: pardon me, Daniel Sullivan has disappeared. No, no, no, not
- 3:29Speaker 3: the one that was elected to serve as the Republican
- 3:33Speaker 3: senator from Alaska, but the one that was picked by
- 3:37Speaker 3: the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee and chosen to run as
- 3:47Speaker 3: an independent to help Congressman Peltola's campaign against the Republican Party.
- 3:54Speaker 3: the other Dan Sullivan. Daniel J. Sullivan Jr., the retired teacher,
- 3:59Speaker 3: has disappeared, was last seen Monday on board a plane
- 4:08Speaker 3: from Petersburg to Anchorage, according to a student. Speaking of
- 4:15Speaker 3: former teachers and reappearances and disappearances, 74-year-old retired school teacher
- 4:21Speaker 3: from Michigan, was back home and visiting the Oval Office
- 4:25Speaker 3: yesterday after President Trump's administration helped him get out of
- 4:29Speaker 3: a Russian jail where he was sentenced to jail time
- 4:33Speaker 3: for fighting as a mercenary for Ukraine. Speaking of Russia
- 4:38Speaker 3: and Ukraine, the First Lady-brokered truce has led to a
- 4:43Speaker 3: convoy of residents from Oleshki fleeing and are now in
- 4:50Speaker 3: the Russian-annexed Crimean Peninsula. Department of Justice warned state election
- 4:57Speaker 3: officials Thursday that willfully failing to preserve election records is
- 5:03Speaker 3: a crime as well punishable by up to a year
- 5:08Speaker 3: in federal prison, meaning the 1960 law they're referring to
- 5:14Speaker 3: requires election officers to keep voting records for 22 months
- 5:18Speaker 3: after any federal election for investigative purposes. A federal judge
- 5:24Speaker 3: on Friday, not understanding those laws, has barred the administration from, quote, threatening, unquote,
- 5:31Speaker 3: election workers with criminal prosecution for breaking the law. Justice, well,
- 5:38Speaker 3: he went on and they said more words than that,
- 5:40Speaker 3: but that's ostensibly what his ruling is. The Justice Department
- 5:44Speaker 3: is reviewing allegations of election interference in Maine after footage
- 5:48Speaker 3: from a city hall polling place showing interpreters improperly giving
- 5:54Speaker 3: direction to Somali voters. I mean, they were really just
- 5:58Speaker 3: there to find the place where they could sign up
- 6:01Speaker 3: for all the government aid, and they actually thought they
- 6:03Speaker 3: were in Minnesota at the time. Those are our first
- 6:06Speaker 3: things this morning, and a great time to be a
- 6:10Speaker 3: gold and silver investor. You can do a whole lot
- 6:13Speaker 3: more with a whole lot less this morning as gold

- 6:20Speaker 3: way down in price. Go to jcsgold.com.

- 8:03Speaker 12: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 12: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 12: I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 12: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 12: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 12: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31Speaker 12: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:36Speaker 12: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer,
- 8:43Speaker 12: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
- 8:46Speaker 12: many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy
- 8:51Speaker 12: cells even from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to
- 8:57Speaker 12: look good, feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
- 9:02Speaker 11: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
- 9:05Speaker 11: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
- 9:10Speaker 11: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
- 9:13Speaker 11: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
- 9:16Speaker 11: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
- 9:21Speaker 11: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
- 9:25Speaker 11: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
- 9:29Speaker 11: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
- 9:33Speaker 11: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
- 9:37Speaker 11: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
- 9:42Speaker 11: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
- 9:46Speaker 11: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
- 9:53Speaker 11: Share this information with your friends and family.
- 9:58Speaker 2: Hi, everybody.
- 9:59Speaker 13: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
- 10:01Speaker 13: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 13: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 13: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:08Speaker 13: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 13: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
- 10:15Speaker 13: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
- 10:17Speaker 13: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
- 10:21Speaker 13: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
- 10:23Speaker 13: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
- 10:26Speaker 13: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
- 10:30Speaker 13: but because of their acute senses, they also perform lifesaving
- 10:33Speaker 13: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
- 10:36Speaker 13: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
- 10:39Speaker 13: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
- 10:42Speaker 13: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
- 10:44Speaker 13: trained roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
- 10:47Speaker 13: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
- 10:50Speaker 13: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
- 10:53Speaker 13: planet we inhabit together. Go to americanhumane.org to learn more.
- 10:59Speaker 14: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
- 11:01Speaker 15: Oh, yeah?
- 11:01Speaker 4: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 11:03Speaker 3: Woot, woot!
- 11:05Speaker 4: 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 14: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
- 11:15Speaker 14: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
- 11:18Speaker 14: call me a ride. Love that guy.
- 11:20Speaker 16: Me too.
- 11:21Speaker 6: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 11:23Speaker 6: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 11:26Speaker 17: Woot!
- 11:28Speaker 10: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 11:31Speaker 10: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 11:35Speaker 10: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
- 11:39Speaker 10: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 11:42Speaker 10: energy assessment. Your utility company can help. Or you can
- 11:46Speaker 10: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
- 11:51Speaker 10: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors.
- 11:54Speaker 10: Check ducts for holes and improve your insulation. Another time
- 11:58Speaker 10: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 12:00Speaker 10: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
- 12:04Speaker 10: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 12:07Speaker 10: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 12:11Speaker 10: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
- 12:14Speaker 10: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
- 12:18Speaker 10: money by reducing your energy waste, check out ftc.gov slash green.

- 12:27Speaker 10: protection agency.
- 12:29Speaker 8: As a family member or friend, you may be the
- 12:32Speaker 8: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
- 12:35Speaker 8: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
- 12:40Speaker 8: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
- 12:43Speaker 8: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
- 12:48Speaker 8: at maketheconnection.net and learn how you can support the veterans
- 12:53Speaker 8: in your life. Treatment works. Recovery is possible.
- 13:12Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the talk media network.
- 13:34Speaker 3: Obscure Eagles records for a hundred Alex. or 1960s TV
- 13:40Speaker 3: show theme songs for $ 500. What do you say, Sean Connery? No, no, no, no, no.
- 13:48Speaker 3: We don't want to hear what Sean Connery has to say.
- 13:54Speaker 3: We live in a world where, truth be told, on
- 13:58Speaker 3: this All Hallows' Eve, there are more witches in Salem,
- 14:03Speaker 3: Massachusetts now than there were in 1692. And that's okay.
- 14:19Speaker 3: That infers nothing. But understanding how we get pushed away
- 14:27Speaker 3: from revering our ancestors, and this is, to me, the
- 14:32Speaker 3: insidiousness of the Marxist Remember, Nikita Khrushchev told us that
- 14:40Speaker 3: they were going to eat the United States from the
- 14:42Speaker 3: inside out. Joe McCarthy turned out, thanks to testimony, whistleblowing,
- 14:50Speaker 3: if you will, by Yuri Bejmanov, who had been a
- 14:55Speaker 3: KGB operative, testified to the fact that, yeah, McCarthy was right.
- 15:01Speaker 3: There were communists all through the American government. What Joe
- 15:05Speaker 3: McCarthy was trying to do about it, I think, was wrong. But,
- 15:12Speaker 3: you know, Edward R. Murrow wouldn't give me a job
- 15:14Speaker 3: in his newsroom back then. No, no, no, no. And
- 15:21Speaker 3: it was actually as if, you know, Roy Cohn was
- 15:24Speaker 3: set up by the Marxists to screw up the right. Oh,
- 15:31Speaker 3: hold it. So Roy Cohn also. still surface in the
- 15:35Speaker 3: Donald Trump stories. Funny that. I mean, there are these
- 15:39Speaker 3: characters in American history like Roy Cohn that you stop
- 15:44Speaker 3: and you say, does anyone actually know if he wasn't
- 15:47Speaker 3: the one telling Joe McCarthy and Dick Nixon, arrest them
- 15:51Speaker 3: all because that will make them stop being communists. I mean,
- 15:57Speaker 3: I have a picture in my computer files of the
- 16:00Speaker 3: evidence bag that allegedly holds Louise Lucas, Virginia Senator, her
- 16:06Speaker 3: silver hair wig and a mugshot of her not, you know, and,
- 16:11Speaker 3: you know, female pattern baldness is not something to make
- 16:13Speaker 3: light of. But, you know, her silver flowing locks in
- 16:18Speaker 3: a bag. I now have a photograph of what a
- 16:20Speaker 3: bag of hair looks like. So when I say something
- 16:23Speaker 3: doesn't seem as smart as a bag of hair, I
- 16:26Speaker 3: now have a piece of evidence. This is a bag
- 16:29Speaker 3: of hair. And it is smarter than the idea of, hey,
- 16:33Speaker 3: arresting somebody for disagreeing with you. That works. Let's ask
- 16:38Speaker 3: the Poles. Not the political Poles. I mean the Polish people.
- 16:47Speaker 3: So the Marxist in this long march through the establishments
- 16:51Speaker 3: gets us to do things like forget that All Hallows'
- 16:55Speaker 3: Eve as a religious holiday is meant to celebrate your ancestors.
- 17:03Speaker 3: Not Batman, not Wonder Woman, not in my case, Arthur Dent,
- 17:10Speaker 3: the hero of the five book trilogy, The Hitchhiker's Guide
- 17:16Speaker 3: to the from the film The Big Lebowski, which everyone
- 17:27Speaker 3: thought I was dressed as, even though I was clearly
- 17:30Speaker 3: dressed as Arthur Dent, wasn't until I saw The Big
- 17:34Speaker 3: Lebowski for the first time like, oh, he's just another
- 17:38Speaker 3: character in literature that spends his entire time in a
- 17:42Speaker 3: bathrobe and pajama pants. I get it now. And being
- 17:47Speaker 3: that Arthur Dent never had a white goatee or a
- 17:49Speaker 3: goatee of any color, I.
- 17:52Speaker 3: I did finally give in and one year made myself
- 17:55Speaker 3: a glass of something I claimed was a white Russian
- 17:58Speaker 3: and wandered around the neighborhood saying, dude. No, you're Lebowski.
- 18:06Speaker 3: I'm the dude. And, you know, it didn't seem to
- 18:10Speaker 3: change the outcome. I was waiting. I wanted to see
- 18:13Speaker 3: if I actually dressed up as the dude and. from
- 18:18Speaker 3: the Big Lebowski of somebody who'd say, hey, are you
- 18:20Speaker 3: dressed as Arthur Dent from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?
- 18:23Speaker 3: Which would have been converse. Ellen had texted, among many people,
- 18:28Speaker 3: when I couldn't remember Paula Deen's name when we were
- 18:31Speaker 3: talking about Biscuits the Beagle. I wonder... How many people
- 18:40Speaker 3: know that Chris Plant's show begins with good music from
- 18:43Speaker 3: a B-movie, terrible B-movie about a vampire? I didn't know
- 18:47Speaker 3: that either. There you go. Son of Dracula. She confesses
- 18:54Speaker 3: that several times she went to see the Rocky Horror Picture.
- 18:57Speaker 3: We all did. People who admit they've gone to see
- 19:03Speaker 3: the Rocky Horror Picture show and the people who have
- 19:05Speaker 3: gone to see it won't admit it. and I'm fine
- 19:09Speaker 3: with doing things, you know, you're like, I don't know
- 19:11Speaker 3: if I like it, but go see. It's not going
- 19:13Speaker 3: to hurt you unless you're running for political office, and
- 19:16Speaker 3: then somebody will make some silly meme about, you know.
- 19:24Speaker 3: You go see, this is Clockwork Orange, another one of those, like,
- 19:29Speaker 3: believe me, I still wake up having nightmares of things
- 19:33Speaker 3: going on that are very Clockwork Orange-ish. I don't know
- 19:37Speaker 3: how Malcolm McDowell sleeps at night, but, you know, stories
- 19:42Speaker 3: and they're told and there are horrific stories. And then,
- 19:45Speaker 3: you know, when you finally get to read something like
- 19:47Speaker 3: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. and you're a kid in New York
- 19:51Speaker 3: and you think Frankenstein is Fred Gwynn and you find
- 19:56Speaker 3: out what Mary Shelley was really writing about, you're like, what?
- 20:01Speaker 3: That's a whole lot better story and scarier. War of
- 20:08Speaker 3: the Worlds, Time Machine, all these scary stories. Zombies and
- 20:15Speaker 3: Morlocks and so many things to scare you. But the
- 20:19Speaker 3: real world is scary enough. And this is why the
- 20:22Speaker 3: left doesn't want you celebrating your forebearers, because that would
- 20:27Speaker 3: celebrate family. That would mean that you have to know
- 20:32Speaker 3: who your forebearers are. Which one came across on a
- 20:37Speaker 3: steamship from someplace in Europe because they wanted to seek
- 20:41Speaker 3: a better life? Oh, mommy, what do they mean they
- 20:44Speaker 3: wanted to seek a better life? They wanted government handouts? No,
- 20:49Speaker 3: we're not Somali. They came because there was work. There
- 20:54Speaker 3: was things you could do. You were free to work
- 20:57Speaker 3: with the people you wanted to work with. Really, mommy?
- 21:02Speaker 3: Can I do that? No, not anymore. since Hakeem Jeffries
- 21:06Speaker 3: became Speaker of the House. Now, we're speaking hypothetically. We
- 21:11Speaker 3: still have Election Day coming on Tuesday. And me, me
- 21:15Speaker 3: with the proximity of Halloween. Here's a question for you.
- 21:19Speaker 3: Is your neighborhood trying to regulate when trick-or-treating is? Saturdays
- 21:25Speaker 3: and Sundays are always a problem for neighborhoods. Has your
- 21:29Speaker 3: community issued a blanket statement saying trick-or-treating is only allowed
- 21:34Speaker 3: between three and seven or four and six. Gated communities
- 21:39Speaker 3: certainly do that all the time, but it's easier when
- 21:42Speaker 3: it's a weekday. But on Saturday, can you go trick-or-treating
- 21:46Speaker 3: at 11 in the morning? Can you go trick-or-treating at
- 21:50Speaker 3: 10 tonight? It's a Saturday. Is all bets off? Or
- 21:54Speaker 3: as your municipal government said, we are the government and
- 21:57Speaker 3: we can control your behavior by telling you when you can.
- 22:01Speaker 18: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National Lead Trainer for Planet Fitness,
- 22:04Speaker 18: and the American Heart Association recommends that we all get
- 22:08Speaker 18: at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity in a
- 22:11Speaker 18: week's time but here's the thing that 150 minutes does
- 22:15Speaker 18: not need to be super intense as a matter of
- 22:17Speaker 18: fact it could just be you moving your body and
- 22:19Speaker 18: doing what you already love to do like exercise and
- 22:22Speaker 18: a stronger heart doesn't just mean cardio right it means
- 22:25Speaker 18: also infusing your workout routines with strength training as well

- 22:32Speaker 18: plate loaded strength series and all of our gyms it's

- 23:01Speaker 19: But now, as wind energy continues to grow, many of

- 23:09Speaker 19: the offshore wind industry. Moving equipment, installing turbines, transporting crews,
- 23:14Speaker 19: it's a huge opportunity, and we're proud.

- 24:03Speaker 12: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 24:07Speaker 12: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 24:12Speaker 12: I'm Dr.
- 24:13Speaker 9: Mitch.
- 24:14Speaker 12: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
- 24:19Speaker 12: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 24:23Speaker 12: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 24:28Speaker 12: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 24:32Speaker 12: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
- 24:39Speaker 12: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer. or at
- 24:43Speaker 12: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances,
- 24:46Speaker 12: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells, even

- 25:55Speaker 14: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
- 25:56Speaker 6: Oh, yeah?
- 25:57Speaker 3: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 25:59Speaker 14: And now a speech.
- 26:02Speaker 15: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 26:05Speaker 3: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
- 26:08Speaker 14: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
- 26:11Speaker 14: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
- 26:13Speaker 14: call me a ride. Love that guy.
- 26:16Speaker 20: Me too.
- 26:16Speaker 6: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 26:19Speaker 6: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 26:23Speaker 10: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 26:25Speaker 10: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 26:29Speaker 10: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
- 26:34Speaker 10: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 26:36Speaker 10: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
- 26:40Speaker 10: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
- 26:46Speaker 10: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
- 26:49Speaker 10: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
- 26:53Speaker 10: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 26:55Speaker 10: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
- 26:58Speaker 10: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 27:02Speaker 10: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 27:05Speaker 10: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
- 27:09Speaker 10: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

- 28:43Speaker 3: I wonder if you ever see the sun You close
- 28:47Speaker 3: your eyes And hope that this.
- 28:50Speaker 14: Is just imagination You know.
- 28:52Speaker 3: It's very odd how much the lyrics to this song parallel,
- 28:56Speaker 3: you know, how you and I feel every morning. Another
- 28:59Speaker 3: story about James Tallarico or Adam Schiff. Maybe going as
- 29:05Speaker 3: a zombie voter this year would be a good Halloween costume.
- 29:13Speaker 3: They will possess you unless you change that number before
- 29:17Speaker 3: you die.
- 29:17Speaker 18: Great.
- 29:18Speaker 7: Before you and I, the cuddle flows together.
- 29:25Speaker 3: Unfortunately, not a lot of that happening in this scary movie.
- 29:28Speaker 3: Wes Craven brings you the United States of America. That's
- 29:32Speaker 3: where we are today, boys and girls.
- 29:34Speaker 18: 434-882-4217.
- 29:34Speaker 3: But celebrate All Hallows' Eve. Try that one out. Say, kids,
- 29:41Speaker 3: we're going to the graveyard. We're going to go visit
- 29:45Speaker 3: grandma and papa. Because that's really what this day is about,
- 29:50Speaker 3: is you're supposed to spend today talking about your forebearers
- 29:54Speaker 3: who have made it possible for you to be you.
- 29:57Speaker 3: For your family to be your family and the things
- 30:00Speaker 3: that they have gone through and the travails meant to
- 30:03Speaker 3: illuminate to children that their travails are handleable in the
- 30:09Speaker 3: context of, you know, comparison to what grandma or great
- 30:13Speaker 3: grandma had to go through. It's one of the reasons
- 30:17Speaker 3: we keep our deceased around people like, wow, I get
- 30:21Speaker 3: a wasting land and whatever. And I'm fine with cremating me.
- 30:25Speaker 3: My mom's ashes, or at least my half, my share,
- 30:29Speaker 3: are on my mantelpiece. I would never want to see
- 30:31Speaker 3: them reconstituted because I don't know which half my sister got.
- 30:37Speaker 3: But put me up there with her. The corporeal has
- 30:42Speaker 3: no interest to me. I am a product of my essence,
- 30:48Speaker 3: my thoughts, my beliefs, everything that makes me different than
- 30:53Speaker 3: Somebody else with an opposable thumb that can climb a tree.
- 30:58Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, I can't climb trees all
- 31:00Speaker 3: that well, maybe because my brain gets in the way.
- 31:03Speaker 3: But when I'm done in the physical realm, just put
- 31:09Speaker 3: me in a jar somewhere. You know, cremate me first, please.
- 31:14Speaker 3: Don't get, you know, Wes Craven on that either. There's
- 31:18Speaker 3: a Halloween. You never want to unsee that one. But
- 31:21Speaker 3: on this All Hallows' Eve, we're supposed to remember the
- 31:24Speaker 3: stories of grandpa held in a prison camp or grandma
- 31:28Speaker 3: escaping communism. And is it any wonder that our modern
- 31:32Speaker 3: society is about, don't you want to dress as Superman
- 31:36Speaker 3: so that, you know, all the poor nitwits can be
- 31:38Speaker 3: saved by Superman? Maybe you can dress as Tony Fauci.
- 31:44Speaker 3: I've seen that one, too. The Tony Fauci costume. However
- 31:52Speaker 3: it is, but just take a moment like we do
- 31:54Speaker 3: with St. Valentine's Day. There's a reality to why these
- 31:58Speaker 3: holidays exist. St. Valentine stoned to death for marrying people
- 32:03Speaker 3: in the Christian faith in Rome because Rome wasn't really
- 32:08Speaker 3: for that. Do you know what's sad? You know, the
- 32:12Speaker 3: one group of people who seem to know the St.
- 32:15Speaker 3: Valentine story are the ones who want gay marriage. And,
- 32:22Speaker 3: you know, it's a reality story. I'm not going to
- 32:24Speaker 3: drop it just because somebody else has picked up the
- 32:27Speaker 3: narrative on it. But there are reasons things become societal.
- 32:34Speaker 3: And let's not lose those because that's what a conservative
- 32:37Speaker 3: is about. Conservative is about conserving the way of life.
- 32:42Speaker 3: And if we're convinced through propaganda and agitprop and all
- 32:47Speaker 3: of that to drop our traditions... then we're failing as
- 32:53Speaker 3: conservatives to not call BS on that. Kareem is hanging
- 32:58Speaker 3: on the line with us this morning. Happy All Hallows Eve. Kareem,
- 33:01Speaker 3: how are you doing, sir?
- 33:03Speaker 2: Happy All Hallows Eve to you too, Joe.
- 33:06Speaker 3: Honestly, happy Ancestors Day every day.
- 33:10Speaker 21: Tell you what, Joe, you might be missing out on
- 33:12Speaker 21: a fantastic opportunity because I can't imagine the list of employers,
- 33:17Speaker 21: former employers of yours that would line up to bid
- 33:19Speaker 21: on your corpse once you leave this earth.
- 33:22Speaker 3: Well, you know, some of them, they would have to
- 33:24Speaker 3: admit that I existed, which according to the court filings,
- 33:27Speaker 3: they would rather pretend I didn't. So, you know, I
- 33:31Speaker 3: think they'd be in a conundrum there.
- 33:35Speaker 2: I hear you.
- 33:36Speaker 21: Joe, there's a lot to talk about, but going through
- 33:40Speaker 21: the graveyard for kids is kind of like re-registering inactive
- 33:44Speaker 21: voters nationwide. We have, I would assume, over 20, at
- 33:49Speaker 21: least 20 million inactive voters.
- 33:51Speaker 3: And it doesn't mean that they're, oh, they're discarded.
- 33:55Speaker 9: No, no, no, no.
- 33:56Speaker 21: Just like 2020, you can pull from that file again
- 34:00Speaker 21: and use it whenever you need it to. So California,
- 34:02Speaker 21: with the weeks and weeks and weeks of counting the ballots, oh,
- 34:05Speaker 21: we found this in the storage room. Yeah, that's where
- 34:07Speaker 21: the active voters were hidden.
- 34:09Speaker 3: Yeah, did you see the Republicans ahead? Go get a
- 34:12Speaker 3: basket of ballots and see if we can't do something
- 34:14Speaker 3: about that, Marge. You know, there's all sorts of things
- 34:17Speaker 3: we do wrong with this. And then on top of it,
- 34:22Speaker 3: then I get people like Las Vegas or Nevada, I guess,
- 34:25Speaker 3: in general, suggesting that they vote early, but they keep
- 34:29Speaker 3: posting rolling tallies of the votes. Like they're counted as
- 34:32Speaker 3: they come in, and you'll get a tally, like on
- 34:37Speaker 3: a message board outside of Luxor Casino, saying, well, you know,
- 34:41Speaker 3: Governor What's-It's incumbent is leading his challenger, but oh, you
- 34:45Speaker 3: got to get out and vote. I mean, there's some
- 34:48Speaker 3: folks who say you want to get out the vote campaign,
- 34:51Speaker 3: just keep a rolling tally of who's ahead and who's not.
- 34:54Speaker 3: But that's what the thing is, and that's the piece
- 34:57Speaker 3: I wrote for Daily Signal, Kareem, is it points to
- 35:01Speaker 3: this research that said— remember Follow the Science?— that says when the
- 35:06Speaker 3: turnout is lower than 50 percent, it favors Democrats, and
- 35:10Speaker 3: when it's over 50 percent, it favors Republicans. And that's
- 35:16Speaker 3: not me saying that. That is my research into, is
- 35:19Speaker 3: there research that says this? And I found this. Marquette
- 35:23Speaker 3: University study. Most people, you know, it's in a Power
- 35:27Speaker 3: Five conference. So is the Big East still a Power Five?
- 35:32Speaker 3: I think it is.
- 35:32Speaker 2: St.
- 35:33Speaker 3: John's in it and Marquette and Villanova. I think there's
- 35:35Speaker 3: still a Power Five. Maybe they're a gang of six. But,
- 35:40Speaker 3: you know, it's a respected, notable university. And it said,
- 35:45Speaker 3: you know, if you can keep the turnout low, Democrats
- 35:48Speaker 3: win more. I wonder why that is. And this goes
- 35:51Speaker 3: to what I've always said. that conservatives outnumber progressives easily
- 35:57Speaker 3: two to one, if not three to one.
- 36:00Speaker 21: Joe, your article is, has more than just that in it.
- 36:05Speaker 21: For example, one line that sticks out is one of
- 36:08Speaker 21: the most outrageous claims is that McGuire supports child marriage.
- 36:11Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 36:12Speaker 21: Sticky and pin it out for right now, but going
- 36:14Speaker 21: back to that Marquette study, Joe, that's been repeated often
- 36:17Speaker 21: about if Democrat, if the out, turnout is low it
- 36:21Speaker 21: favors democrats if it's high favorite conservatives on election day
- 36:24Speaker 21: we've got election season now oh gosh yeah all those
- 36:28Speaker 21: all those now granted uh i'll probably call it next
- 36:31Speaker 21: week and and if again anybody who hears what i've
- 36:34Speaker 21: had to say over the past years uh if you
- 36:38Speaker 21: any issues you have let me know i'll issue a
- 36:40Speaker 21: correction if it is otherwise i stand firm with.
- 36:42Speaker 3: It you're like me in that i'm going to say
- 36:44Speaker 3: it until somebody challenges me and i'll I'll see what
- 36:47Speaker 3: the challenge is before I capitulate. But, you know, here's
- 36:52Speaker 3: the thing about voting day, election day. You know, do
- 36:56Speaker 3: we have Halloween season? Do we have 45 days of trick-or-treating?
- 37:00Speaker 3: I'm sure the kids would love it. I think it
- 37:02Speaker 3: would wear on the community a little bit. And, you know,
- 37:07Speaker 3: too much of a good thing. We don't have 45
- 37:09Speaker 3: days of Thanksgiving. You know, existentially I'd like there to
- 37:14Speaker 3: be 365 days of giving thanks. but I don't want
- 37:17Speaker 3: to sit down to a turkey with all the fixings
- 37:20Speaker 3: 45 consecutive days. That's not healthy. And it gets kind
- 37:24Speaker 3: of redundant. So, you know, we need to stop doing
- 37:27Speaker 3: this with our elections.
- 37:31Speaker 2: Joe agreed.
- 37:32Speaker 3: And we.
- 37:33Speaker 21: Slow rolling it through the courts. I know of all
- 37:36Speaker 21: days for me to agree with you, but slow rolling.
- 37:39Speaker 3: Oh my God. I just, I got epiphany all over
- 37:42Speaker 3: my microphone. You know, and we're up on a break here,
- 37:47Speaker 3: but when we come back, I've just had another one
- 37:49Speaker 3: of those. It's not a flaw. It's a feature epiphanies
- 37:53Speaker 3: about election season. And if you know what would happen
- 37:57Speaker 3: to Halloween if we had 45 days of Halloween.
- 38:02Speaker 14: In 2024, the American Heart Association celebrates 100 years of
- 38:05Speaker 14: lifesaving service as the world's leading nonprofit organization focused on
- 38:09Speaker 14: heart and brain health. Heart disease still kills more people
- 38:13Speaker 14: in the United States each year than all types of
- 38:15Speaker 14: cancer combined, but more than half of Americans are unaware
- 38:18Speaker 14: of this fact, according to a recent Harris Poll survey
- 38:21Speaker 14: conducted for the American Heart Association. However, the majority of
- 38:25Speaker 14: heart disease is preventable. New research has improved the prevention, diagnosis,
- 38:30Speaker 14: and treatment of heart disease and its risk factors. Efforts

- 40:57Speaker 4: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
- 41:03Speaker 4: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
- 41:08Speaker 4: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
- 41:12Speaker 4: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
- 41:15Speaker 4: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
- 41:21Speaker 4: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
- 41:24Speaker 4: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
- 41:27Speaker 4: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
- 41:32Speaker 4: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
- 41:36Speaker 4: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.

- 41:58Speaker 2: I'm Julius. I'm a veteran. My victory was going from
- 42:01Speaker 2: homeless to home.
- 42:03Speaker 3: At DAV, we're on a mission.
- 42:05Speaker 6: Helping veterans of all generations get the benefits they've earned.
- 42:09Speaker 5: I'm CeCe.
- 42:10Speaker 4: My victory was finishing my education.
- 42:12Speaker 6: When America's veterans win, we all win. Help us support
- 42:16Speaker 6: more victories for veterans.

- 42:52Speaker 6: Are you sure we should get matching tattoos on our
- 42:55Speaker 6: first date?
- 42:56Speaker 20: Sure.
- 42:57Speaker 13: We'll probably stay together.
- 42:58Speaker 3: Probably?
- 42:59Speaker 17: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
- 43:03Speaker 3: I can probably swim. Uh, you should wait 30 minutes. Okay,
- 43:08Speaker 3: don't tell me what to do.
- 43:09Speaker 17: Cannonball!
- 43:12Speaker 8: Cramp!
- 43:12Speaker 17: Oh, I have a cramp.
- 43:16Speaker 5: I can probably hit the green from here.
- 43:19Speaker 3: Probably.
- 43:24Speaker 5: Can I get a mulligan?
- 43:25Speaker 3: Ready to go?
- 43:27Speaker 5: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
- 43:29Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
- 43:35Speaker 17: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
- 43:39Speaker 17: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
- 43:42Speaker 17: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message

- 44:13Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 44:18Speaker 15: Bring out your dead! Bring out your dead! Bring out
- 44:28Speaker 15: your dead! Bring out your dead!
- 44:36Speaker 3: Danny's text, it says, go hang out with my dead relatives.
- 44:41Speaker 3: Sounds kind of gross to me, Joe. This is, you know,
- 44:46Speaker 3: my crowd. You're my people. You think of things like
- 44:50Speaker 3: Monty Python and Holy Grail here.
- 45:06Speaker 15: See, they hadn't passed Obamacare yet. They were just thinking
- 45:11Speaker 15: in terms of the Canadian health care.
- 45:31Speaker 3: So we went to break. I had just had an epiphany,
- 45:37Speaker 3: and I got some sham wow to clean it up
- 45:40Speaker 3: here in the studio. Kareem's still on the phone with us.
- 45:43Speaker 3: A conflagration of both of those. We have people going
- 45:46Speaker 3: to different identities to the polls. So that's kind of
- 45:48Speaker 3: both at the same time. But here's the epiphany, though, Kareem.
- 45:53Speaker 3: The epiphany is how would you get rid of Halloween,
- 45:57Speaker 3: make it so prevalent that people get bored with it?
- 46:01Speaker 3: People lose interest in it. It's not one day. Christmas
- 46:04Speaker 3: is 45 days long. Well, 12 days, but you know,
- 46:08Speaker 3: and you have to give gifts every day and you
- 46:10Speaker 3: have to have family members around every day. Thanksgiving, all
- 46:14Speaker 3: of these holidays. If you want to ruin it, give
- 46:18Speaker 3: us more of it because we get bored with it.
- 46:21Speaker 3: It becomes trite. It becomes commonplace. We stop treating it
- 46:25Speaker 3: as special. That's why they want 45 days of voting.
- 46:31Speaker 3: It was convenient to say we're trying to protect our
- 46:35Speaker 3: government employees from you murderous COVID patients coming in like
- 46:41Speaker 3: zombies trying to kill our poll workers. But what really
- 46:46Speaker 3: is happening is, and we see the statistics, since we've
- 46:51Speaker 3: instituted early voting, whether it's a week or 45 days
- 46:55Speaker 3: or whatever, every year, turnout has gone down in comparable elections.
- 47:01Speaker 3: So in presidential elections, the turnout's going down. In local elections,
- 47:06Speaker 3: turnout's going way down. In statewide elections, turnout is going
- 47:10Speaker 3: way down. And I think it just struck me. That's
- 47:14Speaker 3: why we have 45 days of early voting, so that
- 47:17Speaker 3: we get bored with it. We stop thinking of it
- 47:20Speaker 3: as something special.
- 47:22Speaker 21: How can I miss you if you won't go away?
- 47:26Speaker 3: I get that. I do. I do get that, Joe.
- 47:30Speaker 21: Before I leave you with this, I just want to
- 47:33Speaker 21: say right now is the last day for Virginia to
- 47:36Speaker 21: vote in the early season before Tuesday.
- 47:38Speaker 3: Of next week.
- 47:39Speaker 2: Right.
- 47:39Speaker 21: You may not be available. You may not be free Tuesday.
- 47:42Speaker 21: Go ahead and vote. We should have an election holiday.
- 47:45Speaker 21: It should have always been this way.
- 47:47Speaker 3: But, Joe, I think you're right that that's plausible.
- 47:51Speaker 21: When I say right, I think it's plausible.
- 47:53Speaker 3: Oh, you can do it anytime. You just keep pushing
- 47:54Speaker 3: it off, pushing it off, pushing it off, and it's gone.
- 47:56Speaker 21: Joe, Mamdani won New York by knocking on three million doors.
- 48:00Speaker 3: Well, actually, Mamdani, you want to bring Alaska back into this.
- 48:04Speaker 3: Mamdani won with ranked choice voting. That's how Mamdani got
- 48:09Speaker 3: the Democratic primary in a predominantly Democrat city. The headline
- 48:15Speaker 3: of the New York Post, Kareem, the day after Mamdani
- 48:19Speaker 3: won the Democratic primary was meet the new mayor. So
- 48:26Speaker 3: in Alaska, this is Lisa Murkowski, who is not so
- 48:34Speaker 3: much a Republican as she is a Murkowski, inheriting the
- 48:40Speaker 3: Senate seat from dad. And Using this, and I love
- 48:52Speaker 3: the defense. Have you listened to some of the defense
- 48:55Speaker 3: of the indefensible, the Dan Sullivan controversy? Where Congresswoman Patola's
- 49:09Speaker 3: campaign is being defended by people saying, well, everybody does
- 49:12Speaker 3: it sometimes. Really? Really? Everybody does it sometimes. And that's
- 49:21Speaker 3: your excuse for it. And they're running around with all
- 49:28Speaker 3: these examples where they allege proxy candidates and and vote
- 49:34Speaker 3: drainers were chosen by Republicans. They have all these names
- 49:38Speaker 3: of all these instances. Why didn't you bring them up
- 49:40Speaker 3: at the time? And believe me, I'm not going to
- 49:46Speaker 3: deny that if it's possible for Democrats to do it,
- 49:49Speaker 3: it's impossible somehow for Republicans to do it. They're not
- 49:53Speaker 3: going to burst into flames at having the thought of
- 49:56Speaker 3: manipulating an election by putting up some independent candidate that's
- 50:01Speaker 3: going to leech votes away from the Democratic Party candidate.
- 50:07Speaker 3: But it has been my experience that it's dumb. It's
- 50:10Speaker 3: a waste of time because Democrats vote for the letter.
- 50:14Speaker 3: Democrats couldn't care less who the person is. They'll tell
- 50:18Speaker 3: you they do at the cocktail party. But as a rule,
- 50:24Speaker 3: because being a Democrat means you care about people, And it's,
- 50:30Speaker 3: it's really the most important thing that Republicans haven't figured
- 50:33Speaker 3: out yet. And why Trump is popular because Trump connects
- 50:38Speaker 3: and makes people feel like he cares about them. Barack Obama,
- 50:44Speaker 3: Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, more than George the first
- 50:48Speaker 3: Ronald Reagan, these people connected on a national level, which
- 50:52Speaker 3: is nary impossible. George Herbert Walker Bush beat Al Gore
- 51:01Speaker 3: because of two people who couldn't connect with the average voter.
- 51:05Speaker 3: George H.W. Bush was at least Reagan's vice president. So
- 51:10Speaker 3: Reagan connected with us. Maybe there's something to his vice president.
- 51:14Speaker 3: But neither of those candidates connected. I'm sorry. Did I
- 51:22Speaker 3: say Al Gore?
- 51:24Speaker 6: No.
- 51:27Speaker 3: Governor Dukakis. But they use ranked choice voting. And the
- 51:42Speaker 3: conflagration of a sound alike, a name alike, Dan Sullivan,
- 51:48Speaker 3: Dan Sullivan, which one am I supposed to choose? Because
- 51:51Speaker 3: you have to choose out of the three candidates, you're one, two,
- 51:56Speaker 3: and three. So that if nobody gets to 50%, like
- 52:03Speaker 3: these banana republics in South America, like Brazil, if nobody
- 52:09Speaker 3: gets to 50%, then we drop the lowest vote total
- 52:13Speaker 3: off and go back. Everyone who had Dan Sullivan as
- 52:18Speaker 3: the number three candidate gets dropped off. And now who
- 52:23Speaker 3: are your number two and three? And which Dan Sullivan
- 52:28Speaker 3: is it? Is it Dan Sullivan, the one that's gone
- 52:30Speaker 3: missing for a week? Yeah, that's a true story. Nobody
- 52:35Speaker 3: knows where the other Dan Sullivan has gone to. That's fun. Anyway,
- 52:44Speaker 3: it's time for us to wrap up and get into
- 52:46Speaker 3: All Hallows Eve mode. Until Monday, I'm Joe Thomas. So
- 52:50Speaker 3: long and thank you.
- 52:51Speaker 14: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
- 52:53Speaker 14: compression of spinal nerves. According to Dr. Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
- 52:57Speaker 14: California-based chiropractor with more than 30 years of experience, this
- 53:01Speaker 14: compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury, or
- 53:05Speaker 14: simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
- 53:09Speaker 14: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
- 53:12Speaker 14: the neck and back, Dr. Fisher explains. His inventions, the
- 53:16Speaker 14: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device,
- 53:20Speaker 14: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
- 53:24Speaker 14: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction Devices are
- 53:27Speaker 14: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
- 53:30Speaker 14: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
- 53:33Speaker 14: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
- 53:36Speaker 14: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home.
- 53:38Speaker 20: And Dr.
- 53:39Speaker 14: Fisher's series of YouTube videos provides helpful videos and detailed instructions.
