0:00
Speaker 1: Science, I'm more mega now make America great again than
0:05
Speaker 1: I've ever been.
0:06
Speaker 2: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
0:10
Speaker 2: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
0:12
Speaker 3: Music A blessings of Ted's D upon you and your
0:34
Speaker 3: kin as we celebrate the idea that we all have
0:38
Speaker 3: gifts and we all have talents that we've been put
0:40
Speaker 3: on this earth to apply to our communities. And knowing
0:44
Speaker 3: what those are and diving headfirst into them, there is
0:48
Speaker 3: no life like it. Then to serve your purpose on
0:54
Speaker 3: this earth, nobody can bring you down. Nobody can stop
0:58
Speaker 3: you from what's the phrase the kids like to use?
1:01
Speaker 3: Being your best self. Being your only self. If there's
1:07
Speaker 3: more than one of yourselves, then we need to start there.
1:13
Speaker 3: But I appreciate you joining us this morning. I was
1:15
Speaker 3: looking at this list. We were going through the Foundation
1:19
Speaker 3: for Individual Rights and Expression, FIRE.org, their list, their annual list,
1:25
Speaker 3: their college campus report on the best and the worst.
1:30
Speaker 3: And there to my wondering eyes, my parents' alma maters.
1:34
Speaker 3: 219th on the list, getting a score of 55, which
1:39
Speaker 3: is up from last year. My father's alma mater of Cornell.
1:44
Speaker 3: And there it is at 226. My mother's alma mater
1:48
Speaker 3: also getting a 55. Pomona College.
1:53
Speaker 2: Oh, dear, dear, dear.
1:54
Speaker 3: You know, and University of Alaska is in there at 222.
2:00
Speaker 3: Some notable places, Cal Berkeley, of course. I think Cal
2:05
Speaker 3: Berkeley is like, hey, we made it all the way
2:07
Speaker 3: up to number 215, climbing the list. But, you know,
2:12
Speaker 3: some places, you know, that really make you shake your head,
2:16
Speaker 3: Connecticut College, I think that's UConn, right? And then ones that,
2:24
Speaker 3: you know, University of Kentucky. How do you get down there?
2:29
Speaker 3: But it's the wokeness on campus. And we tie this
2:32
Speaker 3: in with the DEI being pulled out from the American
2:37
Speaker 3: Bar Association guidelines for law schools. And we'll tell you
2:44
Speaker 3: about that and get into it. But the Department of
2:46
Speaker 3: Education has done what Democrats do all the time. And
2:50
Speaker 3: everyone's losing their bowel control over Trump's thuggery. You're taking
2:55
Speaker 3: our budget money and threatening us with it. Well, it's
2:58
Speaker 3: what they've been doing for decades. But when Barack Obama
3:01
Speaker 3: does it, it's statesmanship. When Trump does it, it's mob-style thuggery.
3:06
Speaker 3: This is what Michael Cohen would do. Oh, yeah, we
3:10
Speaker 3: used to like him. Anyway, so the American Bar Association,
3:13
Speaker 3: let's lead into our first things with that, announced it
3:16
Speaker 3: will eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion requirements for law schools.
3:22
Speaker 3: The ABA warned... its requirement that law schools commit to
3:27
Speaker 3: diversity and inclusion, including a forced diversity of faculty and
3:33
Speaker 3: student body, could jeopardize its role as an accreditor overseeing
3:41
Speaker 3: nearly 200 Juris Doctor programs, according to a report in
3:45
Speaker 3: the New York Times. They claim their diversity requirements were
3:51
Speaker 3: originally adopted in 1980 and have been in its current
3:55
Speaker 3: form since 2014. Meanwhile, Donald Trump and the administration has
4:05
Speaker 3: escalated its trade war with our neighbors to the north,
4:08
Speaker 3: banning dairy products, alcoholic beverages, and motorcycles, perhaps all at once.
4:14
Speaker 3: Probably not a good combination. The new measures come this
4:18
Speaker 3: morning after Canada imposed retaliatory tariffs. The president says there's
4:24
Speaker 3: a three-week window to negotiate before these bans take place.
4:29
Speaker 3: Iran launched some of those ballistic missiles that they've been
4:33
Speaker 3: getting from some of their friends to the east. The
4:38
Speaker 3: ballistic missiles missed everything, but they shot them at U.S.
4:41
Speaker 3: Navy ships.
4:43
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, the U.S.
4:44
Speaker 3: Navy shot at and destroyed five oil tankers that were
4:48
Speaker 3: tied to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Trump administration is
4:54
Speaker 3: directing more than $ 225 million into Head Start programs nationwide
5:00
Speaker 3: to upgrade nutrition improvements in these programs to make sure
5:06
Speaker 3: that children are getting more healthy foods and accessible to
5:11
Speaker 3: fresh vegetables. Former Senator John Sununu has won the Republican
5:19
Speaker 3: nomination to run again for the U.S. Senate in New
5:22
Speaker 3: Hampshire on Tuesday. Sununu was a Massachusetts senator, had defeated
5:31
Speaker 3: former Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown and other Republican move-ins. He'll
5:38
Speaker 3: set up against Democratic Congressman Chris Pappas, who won the
5:42
Speaker 3: Democrat nomination. They're running to replace Senator Jeanne Shaheen, who
5:47
Speaker 3: is retiring after three terms. The National Transportation Safety Board
5:53
Speaker 3: said Tuesday the flight recorder on the Amazon delivery jet
5:59
Speaker 3: that crashed in Miami suggests the pilots tried to abort
6:04
Speaker 3: the landing before crashing.
6:08
Speaker 4: Hi, this is Bud Foster, co-host of Foster and Friends
6:12
Speaker 4: and former Virginia Tech football coach. When I brought the
6:14
Speaker 4: famed lunch pail to our team, it symbolized teamwork. The
6:17
Speaker 4: word win stood for what's important now. The Lunch Pail
6:21
Speaker 4: Defense Foundation realizes the importance of helping others. Our foundation
6:26
Speaker 4: is a non-profit corporation that helps fund academic scholarship for
6:29
Speaker 4: eligible high school students. Since 2009, the Lunch Pail Defense
6:33
Speaker 4: Foundation has raised nearly $ 400, 000 and awarded over 40 individual scholarships.
6:39
Speaker 5: We also support an.
6:40
Speaker 4: Organ transplant program in conjunction with Duke University Medical Center.

Speaker 4: For information regarding corporate sponsorship or becoming an individual supporter,
6:50
Speaker 4: log on to our site at lunchpaledefense.com. It's always been
6:54
Speaker 4: important to win, especially when we're helping others.
7:01
Speaker 6: You know, it's true.
7:02
Speaker 7: Difficult times have a way of focusing us. We have
7:05

7:07
Speaker 7: our spending, our healthcare. This is why so many people

Speaker 8: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
8:08
Speaker 8: actually three known gases.
8:11
Speaker 5: Hi, I'm Dr.
8:12
Speaker 8: Mitch and nitric oxide is a gas that's readily made
8:17
Speaker 8: all day long to keep our arteries open by relaxing
8:21
Speaker 8: the blood vessel walls. By doing this, our circulation is increased,
8:26
Speaker 8: bringing blood, oxygen, and nutrients to every part of your body.
8:31
Speaker 8: Both age and poor diet can lead to a loss
8:35
Speaker 8: of this precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can
8:39
Speaker 8: go up, energy can go down, and you can get
8:42
Speaker 8: tingling in your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate
8:46
Speaker 8: Nitric Oxide, can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide.

9:33
Speaker 10: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
9:37
Speaker 10: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
9:41
Speaker 10: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
9:44
Speaker 10: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
9:48
Speaker 10: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
9:53
Speaker 10: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
9:56
Speaker 10: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
10:00
Speaker 10: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.
10:04
Speaker 11: I'm Dr.
10:05
Speaker 10: Susan Rehm of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. When
10:08
Speaker 10: I speak with my patients, I urge them to get
10:10
Speaker 10: all their recommended vaccines. Now I'm urging you to speak
10:14
Speaker 10: with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
10:17
Speaker 10: For more information about the vaccines that are recommended for
10:20
Speaker 10: adults and the diseases they prevent, like HPV, whooping cough, tetanus,
10:24
Speaker 10: and shingles, visit adultvaccination.org. That's www.adultvaccination.org.
10:33
Speaker 1: We depend on our drinking water supply daily, but where
10:37
Speaker 1: does that water come from? Your water provider encourages you
10:40
Speaker 1: to get to know your local water source so together
10:43
Speaker 1: we can protect and preserve it. The investments we make
10:46
Speaker 1: as a community to protect our water source now ensure
10:49
Speaker 1: we have a sustainable drinking water supply for the future.

10:57
Speaker 1: you by the American Water Works Association and your local
11:00
Speaker 1: water provider.
11:02
Speaker 12: If you came across someone struggling with hunger, how would
11:05
Speaker 12: you recognize them?
11:07
Speaker 13: By their clothes?
11:08
Speaker 5: Their age?
11:09
Speaker 1: The way they speak?
11:11
Speaker 14: Would you notice a 16-year-old boy.
11:13
Speaker 4: Who got his first job?
11:15
Speaker 11: Not for extra spending money, but to help feed his
11:17
Speaker 11: little sisters.
11:19
Speaker 15: Or a mother who's in between jobs and sometimes goes
11:22
Speaker 15: to bed hungry so her kids can have dinner.
11:25
Speaker 1: Or a 14-year-old girl who signs up to every.
11:27
Speaker 8: After-school activity not to make friends, but just to get
11:30
Speaker 8: something to eat.
11:33
Speaker 13: Or a retiree who fell ill.
11:35
Speaker 2: And had to choose between getting medicine or groceries.
11:40
Speaker 1: I am the one in eight Americans who struggle with hunger.
11:44
Speaker 1: People you pass by every day but never knew were hungry.
11:48
Speaker 8: I am hunger in America.
11:51
Speaker 3: Hunger can be hard to recognize.

12:02
Speaker 16: Think about this. There are five freedoms guaranteed in the
12:05
Speaker 16: First Amendment. Freedom of religion. Freedom of speech. Freedom of
12:09
Speaker 16: the press. Freedom to peaceably assemble. Freedom to petition the government.
12:14
Speaker 16: Which freedom can you live without? Fortunately, the First Amendment
12:18
Speaker 16: doesn't make you choose. It protects all five freedoms equally.

12:28
Speaker 16: buzzed when you suddenly love everything?
12:31
Speaker 3: You guys, I love this song.
12:34
Speaker 17: I love these nachos.
12:37
Speaker 5: I love our kickball league.
12:40
Speaker 3: I love this guy.
12:42
Speaker 13: What's your name?
12:43
Speaker 5: You know what I love? A ride when it's time
12:45
Speaker 5: to head out.
12:47
Speaker 18: If you see a buzzed warning sign, call for a
12:49
Speaker 18: ride when it's time to go home. Buzz driving is
12:51
Speaker 18: drunk driving.
12:52
Speaker 5: A message from NHTSA and the Ad Council.
13:12
Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
13:17
Speaker 3: With the spirit of the wild, running free. Thank you
13:45
Speaker 3: for letting us be of service to you on this
13:48
Speaker 3: Ted's D. And let me point to just a story
13:54
Speaker 3: that I think tells a little bit of what we've
13:58
Speaker 3: debated over time, because one of the narratives that we
14:03
Speaker 3: were talking about in this free speech on campus report
14:06
Speaker 3: is that in 2017, it was awful and a chargeable
14:13
Speaker 3: offense to be anti-Semitic on a college campus scant five
14:17
Speaker 3: years later. That's celebrated behavior because you're fighting against the oppressors.
14:25
Speaker 3: So somewhere the Jews went from victims to oppressors in
14:29
Speaker 3: five years. That's pretty quick if you study human history.
14:35
Speaker 3: And as far as marketing goes, because this is really
14:37
Speaker 3: an abstract of marketing, this is perhaps the most stunning
14:43
Speaker 3: marketing achievement since the American population was told that they
14:51
Speaker 3: actually needed Coca-Cola in their diets. That Hamas only kills
15:08
Speaker 3: millions of people because they're a marginalized community. And this
15:18
Speaker 3: is what you get with the selective telling of history.
15:22
Speaker 3: So you talk about the American West and the Trail
15:27
Speaker 3: of Tears, and you tell all that part of the
15:30
Speaker 3: story and Wounded Knee, and you talk about those things.
15:34
Speaker 3: And if you don't talk about the French and Indian War,
15:39
Speaker 3: or the American history prior to the French and Indian War,
15:43
Speaker 3: you're really not telling American history then. You're selling a
15:49
Speaker 3: cheeseburger and fries happy meal. You're sales pitching. You're saying, boy,
15:58
Speaker 3: doesn't that Big Mac taste good? What's in it? It
16:02
Speaker 3: tastes good, doesn't it? Yeah, but what's in it? All
16:05
Speaker 3: the stuff that makes it taste good, that's what's in there. Huh.
16:09
Speaker 3: You're not telling me anything. No, no, I'm telling you
16:12
Speaker 3: it tastes good. Are you going to believe me or
16:14
Speaker 3: your mouth? Why question what tastes good? That's marketing. This
16:24
Speaker 3: is why people are weary of most other broadcasts, certainly
16:29
Speaker 3: the broadcast television programs. I've said this before and I'll
16:34
Speaker 3: say it again. At least the late, great Billy Mays
16:38
Speaker 3: told you at the onset, he was there to sell
16:41
Speaker 3: you OxyClean washing powder. That's belly base for OxyClean. Okay. Well,
16:49
Speaker 3: so now, and sometimes you would just watch knowing full well,
16:53
Speaker 3: he's just trying to sell you basically water softener and
17:00
Speaker 3: just his, you know, the nature of the pitch man.
17:03
Speaker 3: It's the, It's the traveling salesman, that which we now
17:08
Speaker 3: refer to as the snake oil salesman. You know, it's interesting.
17:13
Speaker 3: I said this to somebody and I got smacked. You know,
17:19
Speaker 3: technically the stuff that's in some of these GLP trigger
17:24
Speaker 3: shots is.
17:26
Speaker 2: Snake oil.
17:29
Speaker 3: Do you realize? It's some venom from some.
17:34
Speaker 3: Oh, it's a lizard. So it's lizard oil. We've gone
17:37
Speaker 3: from snake oil to lizard oil. And I'm pointing this
17:42
Speaker 3: out saying just because the oil came from a snake
17:46
Speaker 3: doesn't mean it doesn't do something. Our friends in Utah
17:54
Speaker 3: squeezing all the seeds and putting them in little bottles,
17:57
Speaker 3: they know what I'm talking about. But the sales pitch
18:11
Speaker 3: wearies us. We don't watch commercials. We get it. We
18:17
Speaker 3: have what we need. I don't need you to tell
18:20
Speaker 3: me what I need. So we tend to tune out commercials.
18:25
Speaker 3: The one broadcast medium that seems to be inoculated from it,
18:30
Speaker 3: and I'm not saying it because we're engaged in it
18:33
Speaker 3: right here, is radio. talk radio. And it's not just
18:40
Speaker 3: conservative talk radio. It's why Howard Stern made so much money.
18:45
Speaker 3: It's why Don Imus made so much money. Because they
18:52
Speaker 3: were talk shows. So you wanted to hear what, you know, oh,
18:55
Speaker 3: Rosie O'Donnell's coming up next with Howard, and I want
18:58
Speaker 3: to hear what he's going to say to her. So
19:03
Speaker 3: you ardently stayed through the commercials and therefore you're more
19:08
Speaker 3: apt to hear the message in the commercials and feel
19:13
Speaker 3: like maybe if I need that product, I should buy it.
19:17
Speaker 3: But we also, for the most part, are not out
19:19
Speaker 3: here making it imperative that you buy the product. There's
19:25
Speaker 3: a young lady who does sports videos. She's like a
19:29
Speaker 3: sports blogger. Annie Agar. I don't know if you've ever
19:33
Speaker 3: heard of Annie Agar, but she's apparently just become sponsored
19:38
Speaker 3: by Twisted Tea because every third video she posts is
19:42
Speaker 3: not about some sporting event or the NFL or, the
19:46
Speaker 3: opening of the baseball playoffs or anything. It's about Twisted
19:51
Speaker 3: Tea and what stadium she's at enjoying Twisted Tea, which
19:54
Speaker 3: is fine. I'd weave it into some content. I would
19:58
Speaker 3: do content with some Twisted Tea sitting on the counter.
20:03
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sitting here with Mesa Verde Twisted hemp
20:08
Speaker 3: farms product running through coursing through my veins Celia I
20:13
Speaker 3: want to thank you sent us a box of stuff
20:18
Speaker 3: my wife's back has been so bad since she was
20:20
Speaker 3: caring for her mom but you see what I did
20:23
Speaker 3: here we're talking about politics and we're talking about how
20:26
Speaker 3: Hamas gets rebranded as a marginalized community and I slipped
20:31
Speaker 3: a little something in for Mesa Verde Hemp dot com
20:34
Speaker 3: in there and you barely noticed because this is what
20:36
Speaker 3: talk radio does is I can mention, hey, by the way,
20:42
Speaker 3: supported by Dr. Mitch coming up, and you listen, Dr.
20:49
Speaker 3: Clark gives me this, I was getting the gas up
20:51
Speaker 3: in my blood. But Hamas did the most remarkable thing
20:59
Speaker 3: in a five-year window, turned anti-Semitism from a criminal violation
21:06
Speaker 3: of people's rights to the rallying cry of a marginalized community.
21:16
Speaker 3: And I saw this story, and I want to expound
21:19
Speaker 3: on it a little bit. China and Russia target Israel
21:23
Speaker 3: to weaken U.S. An intelligence expert, Colonel Richard Kemp, from
21:30
Speaker 3: Her Majesty's Secret Service, says that China and Russia are
21:34
Speaker 3: waging political marketing warfare campaign against Israel and aimed at
21:40
Speaker 3: undermining U.S. support for the country.
21:42
Speaker 19: Really?
21:43
Speaker 3: You mean like the CHICOMs are paying for all the
21:46
Speaker 3: anti-data center ads that we're getting inundated with as well?
21:53
Speaker 3: Because they have the money. We keep selling them bonds.
21:58
Speaker 3: They're buying it with our own money.
22:02
Speaker 8: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
22:07
Speaker 8: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
22:12
Speaker 8: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
22:17
Speaker 8: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
22:22
Speaker 8: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
22:27
Speaker 8: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
22:31
Speaker 8: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
22:35
Speaker 8: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
22:38
Speaker 8: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
22:41
Speaker 8: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,
22:46
Speaker 8: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

28:25
Speaker 3: You can use it multiple ways.
28:27
Speaker 2: You can call it and we chat.
28:29
Speaker 3: If you don't have the time for that, I get
28:31
Speaker 3: it because I understand how mornings are sort of the
28:34
Speaker 3: suppository of all things put off till the last minute.
28:38
Speaker 3: And who knew that this would be when all those
28:40
Speaker 3: last minutes come into play. So you can do a
28:44
Speaker 3: text message through that number as well, or send me
28:47
Speaker 3: a traditional email at at JTInTheMorningRadio at gmail.com. Charles writes
28:54
Speaker 3: in under the idea of passing grades. We were talking
28:57
Speaker 3: about the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, FIRE.org, just
29:02
Speaker 3: released today their 2027 collegiate rankings. He said, passing grades.
29:09
Speaker 3: I guess you're free to speak your mind at these schools,
29:12
Speaker 3: but it won't make any sense. Sorry, because passing grades
29:16
Speaker 3: at the highest ranking school, the University of Chicago, highest
29:20
Speaker 3: ranking school got an 81. You know, that sounds like
29:24
Speaker 3: my transcript at college. Oh, Joe caught himself a 2.5.
29:28
Speaker 3: Good job, Joe. A man who did much better than
29:32
Speaker 3: that collegiately is our friend James Luck. That's why we
29:36
Speaker 3: trust him to give us advice on our world and
29:38
Speaker 3: gold and silver and Good morning, James.
29:41
Speaker 2: How are you, sir?
29:43
Speaker 3: I'm doing well, Joe.
29:44
Speaker 22: And gold and silver are in the green this morning.
29:47
Speaker 22: Gold is popping a little bit here, up about 1%,
29:49
Speaker 22: up $ 41 to $ 4, 397. Silver's up about a little bit
29:51
Speaker 22: over three-quarters of a percent to $ 66 a and 28 cents.
30:00
Speaker 22: Silver's been finding a little bit of a support there.
30:04
Speaker 3: After its recent breakout.
30:05
Speaker 22: And we'll see if we can renew this leg up
30:07
Speaker 22: to 70.
30:08
Speaker 3: So how long did your, you know, crawling out from
30:11
Speaker 3: under a long weekend's worth of orders take? I mean,
30:14
Speaker 3: did you, did, were you finished by 5 PM or
30:17
Speaker 3: how long was the mail out? Were you able to
30:21
Speaker 3: get any of your family members to help you pack
30:23
Speaker 3: the boxes and get them out into the, into the
30:26
Speaker 3: delivery service?
30:28
Speaker 22: You know, they were busy in the showroom, which is
30:30
Speaker 22: a good thing. So I managed to just get the
30:35
Speaker 22: shipping done. I just kind of, you know, locked in
30:37
Speaker 22: and got it all taken care of. I've been shipping
30:40
Speaker 22: out packages here at JCS.
30:42
Speaker 3: Gold for many years now.
30:44
Speaker 22: So I'm used to it and I'm prepared for a
30:47
Speaker 22: long weekend, that's for sure.
30:49
Speaker 3: A friend of mine yesterday, because it was Labor Day weekend,
30:52
Speaker 3: we spent a little time talking about that great documentary episode.
30:56
Speaker 3: about the American workforce called office space. And somebody asked
31:02
Speaker 3: after we had spoken yesterday, they said, has anyone made
31:06
Speaker 3: sure that James has his stapler? And See, at least
31:11
Speaker 3: I know. See, you say that and you're like, does
31:13
Speaker 3: he know the movie? Because if you don't know the
31:16
Speaker 3: reference of it, I just want my stapler. There you go.
31:22
Speaker 3: So that's going to be your Christmas bonus is a
31:25
Speaker 3: nice new stapler there at jcsgold.com. But we love you, James.
31:30
Speaker 3: And again, please go to jcsgold.com. Explain for a quick
31:34
Speaker 3: second the no spot situation there. It's right on big graphics, right,
31:39
Speaker 3: if you go there. For folks who aren't in the biz,
31:44
Speaker 3: what that means to somebody who wants to invest in silver?
31:49
Speaker 22: Yeah, so that we have specific products, silver products, where
31:53
Speaker 22: you can buy right at spot. There's no premium on
31:56
Speaker 22: them at all. So you can buy them at that
31:59
Speaker 22: melt price without any markup.
32:02
Speaker 3: And we have certain silver products.
32:04
Speaker 22: Products there that have that so-called discount to where you
32:09
Speaker 22: don't pay anything over the spot price. So usually when
32:13
Speaker 22: one of our items goes up for sale at spot,
32:16
Speaker 22: it moves pretty quickly because a lot of people really
32:19
Speaker 22: like to take advantage of that deal where they can
32:22
Speaker 22: buy silver at the market price of silver at that
32:25
Speaker 22: spot price. So take advantage of that when you see it.
32:27
Speaker 5: Excellent.
32:28
Speaker 3: JCSgold.com 434-979- after 10 Eastern. James, you have a great morning, sir.
32:37
Speaker 21: Thanks, Joe.
32:39
Speaker 22: You too.
32:41
Speaker 3: Charles, to your subject matter, and since you brought it up,
32:45
Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you something. My high school and
32:46
Speaker 3: college transcripts are nothing to write home about. I'm not bad,
32:50
Speaker 3: but I'm going to tell you, if it wasn't for
32:52
Speaker 3: the intellectual pursuits regarding language, basically literature and broadcasting, I
33:01
Speaker 3: don't know what my I don't know if I would
33:04
Speaker 3: have gotten out of high school there because the processing
33:08
Speaker 3: speed stuff, and I say this, we've got to find
33:12
Speaker 3: more friends. The LearningRx is such a great program when
33:16
Speaker 3: it comes to processing speed and everything. We haven't had
33:20
Speaker 3: them on as partners in a long time. Did I
33:23
Speaker 3: do something wrong? I don't know. When you have dear
33:27
Speaker 3: friends and you don't talk for a while, you start saying,
33:31
Speaker 3: was it me? Um, and is it weird, but, um,
33:37
Speaker 3: you know, all the processing speed stuff, the typing, the
33:41
Speaker 3: only class I ever failed academically was typing, uh, math
33:46
Speaker 3: always struggled with mathematics. Um, some like organic chemistry I
33:52
Speaker 3: got because there was theory and okay, you add this
33:54
Speaker 3: to that and you make the other thing. Uh, but
33:57
Speaker 3: some of the other stuff, the hardcore chemistry and stuff
34:00
Speaker 3: like that, it just never stuck. Spanish, if I hadn't
34:06
Speaker 3: passed the New York State Regents exam, I was going
34:08
Speaker 3: to get a 55 in Spanish after three years, not
34:13
Speaker 3: three semesters, three years, six semesters of Spanish, and my
34:18
Speaker 3: grade was a 55 aggregate. And then I got a
34:21
Speaker 3: 75 on the New York State mandated Regents, and Dr. Isaacson,
34:28
Speaker 3: the head of the department, He popped a gasket right
34:31
Speaker 3: in front of me. He's like, these idiots, what do
34:34
Speaker 3: these people know about education? Holy cow, I have to
34:39
Speaker 3: pass you. Because he had to pass me because I
34:42
Speaker 3: passed the state mandated test, even though I couldn't get
34:46
Speaker 3: higher than a 50 to 55 on anything he ever
34:49
Speaker 3: did there. But if it wasn't for my broadcast classes
34:54
Speaker 3: and English literature, any kind of English literature I was acing,
34:59
Speaker 3: as well as my broadcast. So I wound up with
35:02
Speaker 3: like an 84 average when it all came out in
35:05
Speaker 3: the wash. So it didn't do too bad. But thank
35:07
Speaker 3: you for the passing grades note there, Charles, because FIRE,
35:14
Speaker 3: B +, I think, is the closest thing to a
35:18
Speaker 3: passing grade or the highest grade in their campus free
35:22
Speaker 3: speech guides. And it's sad. If the University of Chicago
35:27
Speaker 3: has the best environment for free speech. The rest of
35:33
Speaker 3: the schools have room to improve, let's just say. Or fat, drunk,
35:37
Speaker 3: and stupid is no way to go through your collegiate life, son.
35:41
Speaker 3: I want to go back to this story about China
35:44
Speaker 3: and Russia and their campaigns in the United States. We
35:48
Speaker 3: already have bona fide fact that Russia paid for both
35:54
Speaker 3: sides of of the riots of 2017, not just in Charlottesville,
35:59
Speaker 3: but then as we went into the CHOP, CHAZ zones,
36:02
Speaker 3: and they were fomenting all of this discord by buying
36:06
Speaker 3: up and setting up Twitter accounts and Facebook, social media
36:11
Speaker 3: platforms to push. And then TikTok becomes gasoline on the fire.
36:19
Speaker 3: And now a report out that says that China and
36:23
Speaker 3: Russia are behind all of the anti-Israel stuff. And as
36:27
Speaker 3: we talk about free speech on campus, the thing that
36:31
Speaker 3: has been most stunning to me is how Hamas has
36:34
Speaker 3: become a marginalized community through basically this marketing campaign. Israel's,
36:45
Speaker 3: the campaigns that Russia and China have undertaken online focus
36:53
Speaker 3: on Israel and paint Israel as if she is failing
36:58
Speaker 3: the U.S. constitutional test. So what they're doing is in
37:02
Speaker 3: a false flag argument, they take Israel, whose constitution is
37:07
Speaker 3: entirely different than the United States, and yes, is quite
37:11
Speaker 3: a police state. I mean, papers, where are your papers,
37:16
Speaker 3: travel documents, all the things that Germany did to the
37:21
Speaker 3: Jewish population in the 30s, you have to do to
37:25
Speaker 3: travel around Tel Aviv or Jerusalem. You have to have
37:29
Speaker 3: papers that say, why are you going here? Because there
37:32
Speaker 3: could be somebody with a C4 vest driving around. But
37:40
Speaker 3: they'll hold these police steps up against the U.S. Constitution
37:45
Speaker 3: as if one has relevance to the other. Do I
37:49
Speaker 3: wish all of our allies lived up to our Bill
37:53
Speaker 3: of Rights? Yes.
37:55
Speaker 2: Do they? No.
37:58
Speaker 3: But that's how they're working this campaign on us.
38:02
Speaker 8: In a study, it was found that 33% of 44

Speaker 8: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
39:08
Speaker 8: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
39:13
Speaker 8: I'm Dr.
39:14
Speaker 3: Mitch.
39:15
Speaker 8: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
39:20
Speaker 8: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
39:25
Speaker 8: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
39:29
Speaker 8: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
39:33
Speaker 8: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
39:40
Speaker 8: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or at
39:44
Speaker 8: least slow the spread of cancer. and in many instances,
39:47
Speaker 8: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
39:52

Speaker 23: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
40:06
Speaker 23: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
40:10
Speaker 23: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
40:13
Speaker 23: will be arrested, if you don't make payments or provide
40:17
Speaker 23: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
40:22
Speaker 23: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
40:26
Speaker 23: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
40:30
Speaker 23: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
40:34
Speaker 23: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
40:38
Speaker 23: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
40:43
Speaker 23: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
40:47
Speaker 23: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General at oig.ssa.gov.
40:54
Speaker 23: Share this information with your friends and family.
40:59
Speaker 15: Hi, everybody.
40:59
Speaker 20: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
41:02
Speaker 20: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
41:05
Speaker 20: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
41:07
Speaker 20: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
41:09
Speaker 20: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes,
41:13
Speaker 20: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
41:16
Speaker 20: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
41:18
Speaker 20: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
41:21
Speaker 20: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
41:24
Speaker 20: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
41:27
Speaker 20: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
41:30
Speaker 20: but because of their acute senses, they also perform lifesaving
41:34
Speaker 20: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
41:36
Speaker 20: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
41:39
Speaker 20: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
41:42
Speaker 20: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
41:45
Speaker 20: trained roles that contribute to society.
41:47
Speaker 5: And help those in need.
41:48
Speaker 2: So please join me and American.
41:50
Speaker 20: Humane in supporting our heroic working dogs and all the
41:53
Speaker 20: amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org

Speaker 13: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
42:01
Speaker 18: Oh, yeah?
42:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
42:04
Speaker 11: And now a speech.
42:07
Speaker 16: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.

42:18
Speaker 16: somebody call me a ride.
42:20
Speaker 3: Love that guy.
42:21
Speaker 11: Me too.
42:21

42:23
Speaker 5: Call for a ride when it's time to go home.
42:25
Speaker 3: Buzz driving is drunk driving.

Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
44:30
Speaker 3: Everybody loves the American campfire.
44:33
Speaker 11: Don't you hear it calling your name?
44:35
Speaker 18: Joe.
44:35
Speaker 2: Everybody loves the American campfire.
44:39
Speaker 16: Go ahead and fan the flame.
44:41
Speaker 7: Ted.
44:42
Speaker 3: It's a Ted's Day morning as we bask in the
44:45
Speaker 3: glow of the embers of our overnight American campfire. Dear
44:51
Speaker 3: friend and great. person to pattern yourself after if you're
44:59
Speaker 3: ever going to try to represent your community on a
45:01
Speaker 3: school board. There's a dear friend, Bryce Reeves, state senator
45:05
Speaker 3: on with us, and we were talking about the Supreme
45:08
Speaker 3: Court announcing yesterday that it'll take up the case of
45:11
Speaker 3: the AR-15, and whether it's a protected class, I guess,
45:16
Speaker 3: if you will, my gosh, if we're here But, you know,
45:19
Speaker 3: one of the things, Bryce, you and I think I
45:21
Speaker 3: agree on is that every time they try to do
45:24
Speaker 3: these backdoor, whether it be, you know, oh, you can't
45:28
Speaker 3: help ICE deport non-citizens laws, they won't actually change a law.
45:35
Speaker 3: They'll just try to circumvent that. And it's just it's
45:40
Speaker 3: infuriating to me.
45:42
Speaker 15: Well, it's not going to happen because they know the
45:43
Speaker 15: majority of Americans don't want open and just, you know,
45:47
Speaker 15: we're not Europe. We don't want to be Europe. We
45:50
Speaker 15: want to be Americans. And that's part of the problem
45:53
Speaker 15: that you're seeing in our country today is a lot
45:56
Speaker 15: of these different sects of people that are coming over
45:58
Speaker 15: are not assimilating. They're going to these places. They're buying,
46:02
Speaker 15: you know, houses and sections and taking up whole parts
46:06
Speaker 15: of towns and cities. And then they're applying their own
46:09
Speaker 15: Sharia law and these things. And, you know, the Democrat
46:12
Speaker 15: Party in a lot of those states is allowing that
46:14
Speaker 15: stuff to happen. And they're not taking care of it. And,
46:18
Speaker 15: you know, the reality is that we are a nation
46:21
Speaker 15: of immigrants and people used to come here and they
46:24
Speaker 15: wanted to learn. how to be successful in the country.
46:27
Speaker 15: They'd learn English.
46:28
Speaker 2: They'd learn everything they could. And I'll tell you something.
46:31
Speaker 15: If you ever go to a naturalization ceremony and you
46:35
Speaker 15: watch the people that have had it, it's incredible how
46:38
Speaker 15: proud they are to be an American. And what pisses
46:41
Speaker 15: me off, Joe, is these congressmen and women that are
46:43
Speaker 15: up there that are bad-mouthing the United States left and right.
46:47
Speaker 2: If it's so bad, take your.
46:49
Speaker 15: Ass and go home.
46:50
Speaker 3: Go somewhere else.
46:51
Speaker 15: If America's so.
46:52
Speaker 2: Bad, leave.
46:54
Speaker 3: Or change the law and they won't do that. That's
46:57
Speaker 3: the thing that makes me so angry about this is
47:00
Speaker 3: they just want law enforcement. And I think there's a
47:02
Speaker 3: subtext to that, Bryce, is that once it's publicly held
47:06
Speaker 3: that law enforcement doesn't have to enforce all the laws,
47:10
Speaker 3: then the implication is, well, if you're busting me, it
47:12
Speaker 3: must be for some other reason. And that becomes a
47:16
Speaker 3: whole other societal problem if you don't believe in your
47:20
Speaker 3: justice system. If you believe the courts in your community
47:23
Speaker 3: are just a place to get screwed, not a place
47:26
Speaker 3: to get defense, then we've got deeper problems than who
47:31
Speaker 3: the president is.
47:32
Speaker 15: You know, I agree. Listen, we're you know, we've done
47:37
Speaker 15: a lot of work on justice reform. I remember under
47:40
Speaker 15: George Allen, he went to truth and sentencing and then.
47:43
Speaker 15: You know, we've had the left recently has been like, hey,
47:47
Speaker 15: let all the bad guys go. And, you know, we
47:49
Speaker 15: had the problems with the parole board not following the law,
47:52
Speaker 15: but they were just letting these guys go. And one
47:54
Speaker 15: of them got out and killed the person that was. Anyway,
47:58
Speaker 15: we know the back story on all these things. But,
48:01
Speaker 15: you know, we've lost what a reasonable, prudent person would do.
48:05
Speaker 15: You know, there's we want people to if they do
48:08
Speaker 15: a crime to to. do the time or do the
48:11
Speaker 15: fine or do what they've got to do in accordance
48:13
Speaker 15: with the law, but we also want to rehabilitate them.
48:16
Speaker 15: And I don't think we spend enough time on that
48:18
Speaker 15: to help people reintegrate back into society. And a lot
48:22
Speaker 15: of these folks commit crimes because they have no other option, right? And,
48:26
Speaker 15: you know, I just remember a great thing Dennis Elmer
48:30
Speaker 15: did down in Virginia Beach, a.
48:31
Speaker 2: Big car dealer.
48:32
Speaker 15: I think he's out of that business now, but he
48:35
Speaker 15: couldn't get enough ASC certified mechanics.
48:37
Speaker 2: So what did he do?
48:38
Speaker 15: He worked with former senator, then sheriff, Ken Stolle. He
48:42
Speaker 15: built his own repair facility, and he worked with the
48:46
Speaker 15: sheriff to get these guys that wanted to be mechanics
48:50
Speaker 15: to be trustees and go, and they'd get paid a
48:52
Speaker 15: normal ASC-certified mechanic. They'd get all their certifications, and guess what, Joe?
48:58
Speaker 15: When they got done doing their jail time, they had
49:00
Speaker 15: a job with Dennis Elmer over there working On cars, right.
49:04
Speaker 15: So they go from no future to making $ 100, 000 a year,
49:09
Speaker 15: some of them, being certified mechanics. And we need more
49:13
Speaker 15: of that job. You know, we've just got to help
49:17
Speaker 15: give people a hand up, not a handout, because if
49:20
Speaker 15: you give a handout, people become dependent. I mean, I
49:22
Speaker 15: just do.
49:23
Speaker 3: There's always going to be looking for it. Senator Bryce
49:26
Speaker 3: Reeves is on with us this morning. And Bryce, I
49:30
Speaker 3: wanted to ask you also, You know, we just, you know,
49:35
Speaker 3: approaching September 11th, and we're going to be live from
49:38
Speaker 3: Shanksville on Thursday and Friday. You're a military man. You served.
49:44
Speaker 3: And talk about, you know, what happened on September 11th,
49:50
Speaker 3: its impact on you, and what do you still carry
49:54
Speaker 3: from it.
49:54
Speaker 10: 25 years later?
49:58
Speaker 15: You know, wow, that's taken us back. And I can't
50:02
Speaker 15: believe it's been 25 years because it's still fresh in
50:04
Speaker 15: my mind looking at the damage in the Pentagon when
50:10
Speaker 15: that day happened. And I remember Rumsfeld pulling people out
50:14
Speaker 15: and it was all hands on deck. And I was
50:18
Speaker 15: actually in a meeting with my day job at State Farm.
50:22
Speaker 15: And I remember the leadership was like, hey, wait a minute,
50:26
Speaker 15: we need to finish this meeting and it's all over
50:28
Speaker 15: TV and our phones are blowing up. If you remember
50:30
Speaker 15: that day and we're like, Hey, we're, we're under attack. And, uh,
50:35
Speaker 15: I just remember trying to see if I could get
50:37
Speaker 15: back on active duty, but I was gone, you know,
50:39
Speaker 15: I'd been out too long, uh, in the IRR stuff. And, uh,
50:44
Speaker 15: you know, that was a day that, that changed our world. And, um,
50:48
Speaker 15: you know, thank God for those people on flight 93, uh, who, uh,
50:53
Speaker 15: who I call it, he manned up and became, you know,
50:56
Speaker 15: they were Americans and they said, not on our watch,
51:00
Speaker 15: you know, they selflessly took that cockpit and to save
51:07
Speaker 15: American lives, you know, and that's the plane I think
51:09
Speaker 15: was headed to, Congress or the White House or one
51:13
Speaker 15: of those is what they thought it was.
51:15
Speaker 2: Right.
51:15
Speaker 15: Isn't it ironic that the knucklehead who planned it all,
51:18
Speaker 15: he's just now we're going to have his trial, I guess.
51:21
Speaker 2: Yeah.
51:21
Speaker 15: Between now and 2028. I forget the guy's name.
51:25
Speaker 3: Well, I guess the judge moved it to 28 early
51:30
Speaker 3: in 2028. But, you know, now he's trying to throw
51:34
Speaker 3: out his confession and. This is a whole new world.
51:38
Speaker 3: I mean, if you went and took somebody from 2002, Bryce,
51:43
Speaker 3: and dropped them into a pro-Hamas protest on, say, the
51:47
Speaker 3: University of Virginia, they'd be stunned, I think. Is this
51:51
Speaker 3: the same place that these people just flew airplanes into
51:55
Speaker 3: our World Trade Center and the Pentagon? I think that's
52:00
Speaker 3: the part that's going to drive people the craziest the most.
52:04
Speaker 15: Well, it's just like this, Joe, I agree 100%, but
52:08
Speaker 15: it's just like what we're facing in Iran right now.
52:12
Speaker 15: And I'm glad this president has taken action because I
52:14
Speaker 15: remember as a kid, a kid, teenager, watching the barracks
52:18
Speaker 15: in Beirut, Lebanon, getting bombed and losing all those Marines
52:23
Speaker 15: and then You know, the USS Cole getting all this
52:26
Speaker 15: stuff over these years where it's always, you know, that
52:31
Speaker 15: sect of Muslim faith. They want to annihilate all of us.
52:35
Speaker 15: They don't they don't want to play nice. They want
52:37
Speaker 15: to kill everybody or convert or die.
52:40
Speaker 3: And Bryce Reeves on with us. Bryce Reeves dot com.
52:44
Speaker 3: You know, and that's the thing. It's even Jefferson said
52:47
Speaker 3: it 240 years.
52:47
Speaker 5: Ago, Bryce.
52:51
Speaker 13: Crime across the country is at an all-time high. It
