Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Joe works at a steel mill, he's damn near every day.
- 0:12Speaker 3: Leaves for work when the sun comes up, drops a
- 0:14Speaker 3: kid to school and all the world.
- 0:17Speaker 4: Joe has everything he.
- 0:18Speaker 5: Dreamed of, all the treasures that he needs.
- 0:21Speaker 6: No wonder Joe's always smiling, he only aims to please you.
- 0:30Speaker 2: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
- 0:32Speaker 2: this morning. You know us. We tell you what went
- 0:38Speaker 2: on last night. Then we will tell you our analysis
- 0:42Speaker 2: of it. But mostly I want to hear how it
- 0:45Speaker 2: impacts you. You being the most important local aspect of
- 0:49Speaker 2: the radio station. There as you bask in either the
- 0:52Speaker 2: amplitude or frequency modulation goodness. that we provide for you
- 0:57Speaker 2: and whatever the heck it is that modulates when you
- 0:59Speaker 2: listen to us streaming online. We appreciate every second that
- 1:04Speaker 2: you can give us. So here's the question I have
- 1:06Speaker 2: for you. How many of you are going to dress
- 1:10Speaker 2: as zombie voters for election day? See, if you have
- 1:17Speaker 2: a family or a group, I think you should try
- 1:20Speaker 2: this out. So some of you dress as zombies. and
- 1:25Speaker 2: put I voted stickers on, you know, those I voted
- 1:28Speaker 2: stickers that you get from polling places. And then a
- 1:32Speaker 2: bunch of other people should, and believe me, this takes
- 1:37Speaker 2: some guts, dress as stereotypically non-American citizens and put I
- 1:45Speaker 2: voted stickers here on it. You know, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- 1:49Speaker 2: I'm not suggesting any racial impropriety or derision. I'm not
- 1:56Speaker 2: saying you've got to dress like Phil Collins from the
- 1:59Speaker 2: Genesis video Illegal Alien. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- 2:02Speaker 2: You don't have to. But just make sure it's clear
- 2:06Speaker 2: that you're not a citizen. You know, even put like
- 2:11Speaker 2: a British flag or a Chinese flag on your lapel
- 2:16Speaker 2: pin and just put the I voted sticker right underneath
- 2:20Speaker 2: the Chinese flag. We just had more non-citizens vote. I
- 2:25Speaker 2: think this is, as much as people like to dress as,
- 2:29Speaker 2: you know, the president or the ex-president or, you know,
- 2:33Speaker 2: the ex-president's son, that's an easy costume. Just a little,
- 2:37Speaker 2: you know, the confectioner's sugar around the, what, insensitive? Now
- 2:43Speaker 2: you're calling me insensitive? I know he said he doesn't
- 2:48Speaker 2: do that anymore. So did Ringo Starr. Maybe that's what
- 2:54Speaker 2: you just walk around with a loop of, oh, no, no, no,
- 2:57Speaker 2: I don't do it no more. You know, and, you know,
- 3:00Speaker 2: white powder around your nose or something like that. But
- 3:04Speaker 2: that being said, we are here to take you on
- 3:07Speaker 2: a journey through the news and travails of the remains
- 3:12Speaker 2: of the weekend heading into this Monday morning. Most everybody
- 3:17Speaker 2: has got some semblance of early voting going on because
- 3:20Speaker 2: we have to protect the poll workers from your long
- 3:24Speaker 2: COVID or whatever it is that you've got hanging out there.
- 3:28Speaker 2: So Virginians, we're just here in our flagship state, just
- 3:31Speaker 2: getting ready to culminate our 45 days of voting. It's
- 3:34Speaker 2: the last six days of early voting. We finish on Saturday,
- 3:39Speaker 2: take Monday off of next week, and then try to
- 3:43Speaker 2: get everything finished. We won't have an extension, at least
- 3:47Speaker 2: not that I'm aware of, like they did in Brazil
- 3:50Speaker 2: last where after extending voting by two hours on election day,
- 3:59Speaker 2: you think we're a banana republic here? Brazil held a
- 4:03Speaker 2: master's class in what a banana republic does on its
- 4:06Speaker 2: runoff election day. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won
- 4:13Speaker 2: quote-unquote re-election after keeping the polling places open two extra hours.
- 4:18Speaker 2: to get 51.8% of the total vote. His opponent, Flavio Bolsonaro,
- 4:25Speaker 2: has refused to concede, calling the vote extension unprecedented. Meanwhile,
- 4:34Speaker 2: Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel laureate Maria Correa Machado is
- 4:39Speaker 2: back in Caracas. She said, I am here with you,
- 4:43Speaker 2: she posted in Spanish on Instagram. Finally, Caracas, I'm here,
- 4:48Speaker 2: she posted later on on Sunday evening with a video
- 4:51Speaker 2: of supporters greeting her return to the country. Here in
- 4:57Speaker 2: the States, a panel of federal appellate judges in California,
- 5:01Speaker 2: the Ninth Circuit, have questioned the constitutionality, authority, and timing
- 5:07Speaker 2: of the Department of Justice's demand that California election officials
- 5:11Speaker 2: set aside thousands of mail-in ballots from people the federal
- 5:15Speaker 2: government suspects may not be citizens. They didn't issue a
- 5:21Speaker 2: ruling yet. They just questioned. United States and Canada are
- 5:25Speaker 2: close to reaching a trade agreement, according to Kevin Hassett
- 5:29Speaker 2: on Sunday. According to Bloomberg, I think it's very close
- 5:32Speaker 2: to finally having a deal on that, he said on
- 5:37Speaker 2: Fox News. Meanwhile, Todd Blanche was on CNN's State of
- 5:42Speaker 2: the Union program defending the Justice Department's lawsuit over Alaska's
- 5:50Speaker 2: Senate election, saying the challenge of voter confusion of two
- 5:56Speaker 2: candidates named Dan Sullivan. We're not saying the federal government
- 5:59Speaker 2: is going to decide who the next senator from Alaska is,
- 6:04Speaker 2: he assured. And those are our first things this morning.
- 6:08Speaker 2: Brought to you in part by JCSGold.com, the Jefferson coin
- 6:13Speaker 2: shop where a family, not a corporation, nobody has got
- 6:18Speaker 2: a quota, nobody is trying to upsell you. Want to
- 6:22Speaker 2: help you get into the gold and silver world, especially
- 6:25Speaker 2: as the dollar becomes less and less value. Gold bounced
- 6:28Speaker 2: back a little bit. Saturday it had dipped below $ 4, 000
- 6:30Speaker 2: an ounce. It's back above $ 4, 015.
- 6:31Speaker 4: 94.
- 6:31Speaker 2: How do I know this? I went to jcsgold.com, but
- 6:39Speaker 2: that's not the sum total of it. Give them a
- 6:42Speaker 2: call at 434-979-COIN, 434-979-2646, and talk to them. If you're
- 6:54Speaker 2: not a regular gold and silver, or you feel like
- 6:57Speaker 2: every time you call your gold dealer, they're upselling you,
- 7:00Speaker 2: call them.
- 7:01Speaker 7: You know, a lot of times you have to choose
- 7:03Speaker 7: between something high quality or something that saves you money.
- 7:07Speaker 2: But what if you could get both? Why not?
- 7:09Speaker 7: Especially when it comes to health care. And that is MediShare.
- 7:12Speaker 7: You get both. Many families save 500 bucks a month
- 7:16Speaker 7: with MediShare.
- 7:17Speaker 2: And that's huge.
- 7:18Speaker 7: But it's also true that people wind up way more satisfied, too.
- 7:21Speaker 7: We know this from research of members. There's a lot
- 7:24Speaker 7: they like about MediShare, but especially they love being part
- 7:28Speaker 7: of something they believe in. And MediShare works, too. It
- 7:31Speaker 7: has for more than 30 years. There are hundreds of
- 7:34Speaker 7: thousands of members involved. who love having telehealth if they
- 7:37Speaker 7: need it. They love the huge PPO network. You can
- 7:40Speaker 7: save a ton and like it better. Imagine being happy
- 7:43Speaker 7: with how you're taking care of your health care. So
- 7:45Speaker 7: if you're self-employed or you're part of the gig economy

- 8:03Speaker 8: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 8: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 8: I'm Dr.
- 8:13Speaker 1: Mitch.
- 8:14Speaker 8: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
- 8:20Speaker 8: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 8:24Speaker 8: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 8:28Speaker 8: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 8:32Speaker 8: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
- 8:39Speaker 8: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
- 8:43Speaker 8: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
- 8:47Speaker 8: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
- 8:52Speaker 8: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
- 8:57Speaker 8: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
- 9:02Speaker 9: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
- 9:05Speaker 9: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.

- 9:16Speaker 9: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
- 9:21Speaker 9: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
- 9:25Speaker 9: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a

- 9:58Speaker 6: Hi, everybody.
- 9:59Speaker 10: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
- 10:01Speaker 10: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 11: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and.
- 10:05Speaker 10: Kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at
- 10:08Speaker 10: the birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss
- 10:11Speaker 10: foxes who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
- 10:15Speaker 10: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
- 10:17Speaker 10: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
- 10:21Speaker 10: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
- 10:23Speaker 10: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
- 10:26Speaker 10: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
- 10:30Speaker 10: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving
- 10:33Speaker 10: work every day.
- 10:34Speaker 1: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
- 10:36Speaker 10: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
- 10:39Speaker 10: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
- 10:41Speaker 10: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
- 10:44Speaker 10: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help.
- 10:46Speaker 5: Those in need.
- 10:47Speaker 1: So please join me and American.

- 11:04Speaker 14: And now a speech.
- 11:06Speaker 11: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 11:10Speaker 2: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 14: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
- 11:15Speaker 15: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,

- 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.

- 13:12Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 13:19Speaker 2: So what does it sound like when there's voter issues.
- 13:27Speaker 2: And the story out of Brazil is fun. So you
- 13:33Speaker 2: have to understand the context in which the Brazilian runoff
- 13:36Speaker 2: presidential elections.
- 13:39Speaker 8: Her name was Lola.
- 13:41Speaker 18: She was a showgirl with yellow feathers in her hair
- 13:45Speaker 18: and a dress cut down her hair.
- 13:47Speaker 4: She would merengue and do the cha-cha.
- 13:51Speaker 11: And while she tried to be.
- 14:08Speaker 2: So why is this notable? So Lula had just lost
- 14:16Speaker 2: the parliament or the General Assembly in Brazil. Conservatives had
- 14:21Speaker 2: taken over, Bolsonaro supporters. And then there's a runoff election
- 14:34Speaker 2: because they couldn't get to the trigger. Neither of them
- 14:37Speaker 2: got to 50% of the vote, just like happens in
- 14:40Speaker 2: Georgia and places like that. You know, Brazil very much
- 14:43Speaker 2: indistinguishable from Georgia sometimes when it comes to voting. So
- 14:53Speaker 2: voting all of a sudden at the end got extended.
- 15:00Speaker 2: by the President, El Presidente, said, you know what, let's
- 15:03Speaker 2: keep voting. We don't have enough votes in here. So
- 15:14Speaker 2: Lula calls the Supreme Court Justice, Cristiano Zanin, this is
- 15:20Speaker 2: like President Trump calling John Roberts, right, and told him
- 15:26Speaker 2: to order polling stations to remain open despite the fact
- 15:34Speaker 2: that the votes, which had already begun to be counted,
- 15:37Speaker 2: now they stopped counting the votes, but how many had
- 15:49Speaker 2: they counted? What was it telling Lula in the early tabulations?
- 15:56Speaker 2: Certainly he wouldn't know, right? It was no reason for
- 16:00Speaker 2: him to, And Brazil, this isn't some junta... Well, I mean,
- 16:12Speaker 2: there are reasons some of these world games get suspended
- 16:15Speaker 2: and moved away from Rio. It's a mess. It's like
- 16:21Speaker 2: Chicago tossed in with New Jersey and Kansas City all
- 16:27Speaker 2: run together in a blender with a little Havana just
- 16:31Speaker 2: to make it spicy. It's a mess. There's corruption everywhere.
- 16:36Speaker 2: And there's probably good reason the conservatives, the free market people,
- 16:43Speaker 2: aligned with folks like Argentina and the places where it's like,
- 16:49Speaker 2: you know what, how about we try something different in
- 16:52Speaker 2: our country for a change? And as the votes have
- 17:00Speaker 2: already been counted, started to be counted... De Silva decides, ah,
- 17:10Speaker 2: let's vote for two more hours. And just a quick
- 17:18Speaker 2: scan here of the headlines regarding the election in this
- 17:23Speaker 2: massive country. One, two, two out of 20 headlines even
- 17:34Speaker 2: mention the fact that the vote's kept coming in after
- 17:38Speaker 2: the polls had closed. And that they were extended for
- 17:45Speaker 2: a celebration of democracy. They celebrate, these news stories celebrate
- 17:51Speaker 2: De Silva's call to extend voting as proof that democracy works.
- 17:59Speaker 2: I love the smell of face palm in the morning.
- 18:04Speaker 2: These are the same people that Maybe a bunch of
- 18:08Speaker 2: Americans should go down and vote in Brazil's elections. How
- 18:13Speaker 2: many of the people that voted for da Silva are
- 18:16Speaker 2: also going to vote for, insert name of Democrat, El Sayed, Tallarico, Ossoff?
- 18:31Speaker 2: Insert your favorite Democrat there. How many of these same
- 18:35Speaker 2: people that voted in these two extra hours in Brazil?
- 18:40Speaker 2: What if Donald Trump announced that the voting— it' s not really
- 18:49Speaker 2: his control, but what if Texas announced, you know what,
- 18:55Speaker 2: we're going to vote for two extra hours, or Florida
- 19:02Speaker 2: What does Governor DeSantis have to lose in Florida? Just
- 19:05Speaker 2: extend it. You know what? And only in West Palm.
- 19:14Speaker 2: This is what happens. And they tried to do the
- 19:17Speaker 2: dog and pony show of looking like they were following
- 19:20Speaker 2: the law. The president called the Supreme Court justice and said,
- 19:24Speaker 2: we need more time. we've got to protect our phony
- 19:29Speaker 2: baloney jobs, gentlemen. We must do something about this immediately.
- 19:34Speaker 2: And the Supreme Court does this. And the president understood.
- 19:37Speaker 2: The president couldn't just unilaterally say, keep the polls open
- 19:41Speaker 2: until I win. That would have been impolitic. And I'm just,
- 19:48Speaker 2: we have no proof that he did it so he
- 19:50Speaker 2: could get that extra 1% of the vote, 1.5% of
- 19:53Speaker 2: the vote. But it would be interesting to see of
- 20:01Speaker 2: those votes that were cast in the extra two hours
- 20:05Speaker 2: in bonus time, since they love soccer down there, in
- 20:09Speaker 2: extra time, how many of them came in for De
- 20:16Speaker 2: Silva and how many of them came in for Bolsonaro,
- 20:21Speaker 2: who has not conceded because he said that he was
- 20:27Speaker 2: given no choice but to go along with the call
- 20:30Speaker 2: since it had already been announced by the Supreme Court
- 20:34Speaker 2: justice and He said, well, if the Supreme Court justice
- 20:38Speaker 2: said it, but he is questioning why the Supreme Court
- 20:42Speaker 2: justice called for it, as are everybody. But nobody in
- 20:46Speaker 2: the press seems to be at all interested that just arbitrarily,
- 20:50Speaker 2: as the polls were about to close, this was the point.
- 20:53Speaker 2: It's not like first thing in the morning, there's monsoons
- 20:57Speaker 2: like hit New Mexico over the weekend. There weren't tornadoes.
- 21:03Speaker 2: There weren't blizzards, strange, unheard of blizzards coming down on Brazil,
- 21:10Speaker 2: driving down voter turnout. No, no, no. This was just SOP.
- 21:19Speaker 2: And there was no urgent reason to... Not to that
- 21:31Speaker 2: elected position you were looking for. We'll just keep voting
- 21:35Speaker 2: until we get the election results we want. And you
- 21:42Speaker 2: think Todd Blanche is getting grilled on Face the Nation
- 21:47Speaker 2: and CNN's State of the Union about making sure only
- 21:52Speaker 2: California citizens are voting? It's a master's class in why
- 21:59Speaker 2: we're just We're just looking.

- 23:02Speaker 6: Michael Bailey, president of the American Veterinary Medical Association. Artificial
- 23:07Speaker 6: intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver better
- 23:12Speaker 6: care for pets. From AI-assisted radiographs that speed up diagnoses
- 23:17Speaker 6: to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports veterinary teams
- 23:21Speaker 6: in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop personalized cancer treatments,
- 23:27Speaker 6: predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease, and even streamline
- 23:32Speaker 6: record keeping so veterinarians can focus more on patients. As
- 23:37Speaker 6: with any new technology, always keep a human in the
- 23:41Speaker 6: loop to maintain the best pet health care. AI is
- 23:45Speaker 6: a powerful tool, but not a replacement for your veterinarian's expertise, compassion,
- 23:51Speaker 6: and judgment, which remains at the center of our profession.

- 24:10Speaker 11: Products on the market.
- 24:12Speaker 8: Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
- 24:17Speaker 8: our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to
- 24:21Speaker 8: any nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing
- 24:26Speaker 8: or reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31Speaker 8: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 8: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer,
- 24:42Speaker 8: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
- 24:45Speaker 8: many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy
- 24:50Speaker 8: cells even from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to

- 25:54Speaker 12: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
- 25:56Speaker 4: Oh, yeah?
- 25:57Speaker 2: 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 2: Heart and brain.
- 26:07Speaker 11: Who's with me?
- 26:08Speaker 15: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
- 26:11Speaker 15: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
- 26:13Speaker 15: call me a ride.
- 26:15Speaker 13: Love that guy.
- 26:16Speaker 11: Me too.
- 26:16Speaker 5: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 26:19Speaker 5: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 26:23Speaker 17: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 26:25Speaker 17: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 26:29Speaker 17: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
- 26:34Speaker 17: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 26:36Speaker 17: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
- 26:40Speaker 17: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
- 26:46Speaker 17: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
- 26:49Speaker 17: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
- 26:53Speaker 17: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 26:55Speaker 17: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
- 26:58Speaker 17: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 27:02Speaker 17: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 27:05Speaker 17: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
- 27:09Speaker 17: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

- 28:28Speaker 2: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
- 28:30Speaker 2: wherever you are this morning at 434-882-5217. 4217, I'm sorry.
- 28:32Speaker 2: So the story... And I thought it was interesting because
- 28:47Speaker 2: we have some great affiliates in the great state of Texas.
- 28:52Speaker 1: They got a lot on my screen.
- 29:17Speaker 2: So I was just scrolling through some of the news,
- 29:22Speaker 2: and this one, San Antonio near the top of a
- 29:28Speaker 2: list that they may not want to be.
- 29:31Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 29:31Speaker 2: Do you want, do you not want this kind of notoriety?
- 29:36Speaker 2: And you knew it was only a matter of time.
- 29:38Speaker 2: And this is actually believable. it or not, a story
- 29:42Speaker 2: that has libertarians, conservatives, a lot of people questioning. You
- 29:50Speaker 2: look at places like Nevada and the misunderstanding about how
- 29:56Speaker 2: sex workers work in Nevada. And you knew it was
- 30:03Speaker 2: only a matter of time before somebody would do a
- 30:06Speaker 2: survey like this. Who spends the most on OnlyFans accounts?
- 30:13Speaker 2: And I don't know, believe it or not, and you
- 30:16Speaker 2: can call BS on this if you like, but I
- 30:18Speaker 2: have no idea how OnlyFans works from either side. I'm
- 30:24Speaker 2: not a content creator for OnlyFans. Nobody would want to
- 30:27Speaker 2: see that. nor am I a subscriber. I am aware
- 30:33Speaker 2: of its existence, mostly thanks to Sydney Sweeney. What? The
- 30:40Speaker 2: show she does, The Housemaid or whatever, and it's like
- 30:44Speaker 2: her thing is that while everyone's out to work and
- 30:47Speaker 2: she's taking care of the house, she's shooting OnlyFans videos.
- 30:52Speaker 2: Go ahead. Concentrate on something else while you think about that. Anyway,
- 31:01Speaker 2: According to a website called OnlyFansFinders, you knew that somebody
- 31:11Speaker 2: had a list of if you thought you didn't, you
- 31:13Speaker 2: thought nobody knew. And it's not just San Antonio. It's
- 31:24Speaker 2: Dallas as well. DFW is.
- 31:29Speaker 2: Fourth overall on a list out of 210 cities. On
- 31:37Speaker 2: annual per household spending on OnlyFans.
- 31:40Speaker 8: $ 38.
- 31:46Speaker 2: Million spent across the area last year.
- 31:55Speaker 11: Dallas.
- 31:55Speaker 2: 84 million. Houston, don't laugh, Beaumont. You're just up the road.
- 32:01Speaker 2: This may include you in the, I don't know how
- 32:03Speaker 2: your metro area is. Houston, number six overall. And there
- 32:11Speaker 2: are plenty of people out there who will defend the
- 32:15Speaker 2: industry saying, well, it's just commerce, Joe. They're just selling
- 32:20Speaker 2: something people want. Do we file this under making Americans
- 32:28Speaker 2: great again? I mean, you know, and you know it's
- 32:34Speaker 2: only going to be a matter of time before somebody
- 32:37Speaker 2: is depicted on OnlyFans. And again, I don't know how
- 32:43Speaker 2: it all works, but somewhere I will guarantee you somebody
- 32:47Speaker 2: will figure out a way to post pictures of their
- 32:50Speaker 2: ex-boyfriend or girlfriend on OnlyFans. And there will be a lawsuit.
- 32:56Speaker 2: And then there will be outrage saying somebody needs to
- 32:59Speaker 2: do something about this. I mean, at least in this case,
- 33:04Speaker 2: it's not like Napster where people were sharing other people's
- 33:08Speaker 2: songs without their permission, right? And they want the Internet
- 33:15Speaker 2: to be the way we fix our voting problems. Every
- 33:20Speaker 2: time there's voting issues, somebody says, well, why don't we
- 33:24Speaker 2: just use the Internet? You'd have to extend the voting
- 33:30Speaker 2: hours because too many of us are on OnlyFans, apparently. No, no, no, no, no, no.
- 33:38Speaker 2: I'm not going to justify or anything like that. No,
- 33:44Speaker 2: because yes, pornography, I hate to say this, but most
- 33:49Speaker 2: of the, at least in the world of video and
- 33:55Speaker 2: a lot of the internet, technology advances have been driven
- 34:04Speaker 2: by the dirty movie industry. I mean, it's how we
- 34:07Speaker 2: determined that VHS was going to be the industry standard
- 34:11Speaker 2: over Betamax because it was what the porn industry was
- 34:19Speaker 2: making films with. So why not? And I believe that
- 34:35Speaker 2: the idea of PayPal and all these online purchasing apps,
- 34:41Speaker 2: even some of the skewer ones like, what is it, Signal,
- 34:45Speaker 2: the one Pete Hegseth uses? What? No, I'm not alleging. No.
- 34:51Speaker 2: Pete Hegseth has enough people alleging things that he does
- 34:55Speaker 2: during his off hours that you don't need me piling
- 34:58Speaker 2: onto that. No, but like, you know, the encryption softwares.
- 35:03Speaker 2: and the privacy protections, you would really be surprised, I think,
- 35:09Speaker 2: maybe not, at how much of that is innovated in
- 35:16Speaker 2: the dirty pictures industry. It's just, to me, it's just
- 35:25Speaker 2: begging for trouble, especially in a world where we can
- 35:29Speaker 2: dox people and find out who they are. And because
- 35:37Speaker 2: we're sloppy, you know, somebody becomes, you know, obsessed with
- 35:42Speaker 2: somebody on an OnlyFans page. And how hard is it
- 35:46Speaker 2: if you're obsessed with something and somebody's that delved into
- 35:51Speaker 2: the content creation world? And I'm saying this not as
- 35:56Speaker 2: a purient, not as, you know, but I'm just saying
- 35:59Speaker 2: that we put ourselves in positions where When the excrement
- 36:04Speaker 2: hits the air handler and that one person out of
- 36:08Speaker 2: a thousand loses their grip on their last good marble,
- 36:14Speaker 2: all of a sudden we want a do-over. I know
- 36:20Speaker 2: it exists because people will pay for it. Obviously, a
- 36:23Speaker 2: lot of them in San Antonio and Dallas and Houston.
- 36:26Speaker 2: But do we have the whole list? Do I even
- 36:29Speaker 2: want to see what the whole list looks like? This
- 36:33Speaker 2: is just from mysa.com. It's a San Antonio news site. No,
- 36:44Speaker 2: I understand. It's just one of those things that I'm
- 36:48Speaker 2: bracing myself for what's to come. So President Trump continued
- 36:53Speaker 2: to barnstorm. I'm trying to find out because I was
- 36:57Speaker 2: told that there is a Virginia stop coming, but in Michigan...
- 37:02Speaker 2: taking shots at El Sayed.
- 37:06Speaker 9: What?
- 37:08Speaker 2: No, Ilhan Omar is not on OnlyFamily.com. You're awful. You're
- 37:15Speaker 2: absolutely awful. It's not OnlyFamilyMembers.com. That's not actually a real website. OnlyFamilyMembers.com.
- 37:28Speaker 16: Oh, God.
- 37:29Speaker 2: The things we devolve into this morning. It must have
- 37:34Speaker 2: been a good weekend. Or we're all just punchy because
- 37:37Speaker 2: the midterms are still a week away. Is it over yet?
- 37:40Speaker 2: Is it over yet? The ads. No, and if you
- 37:44Speaker 2: think going on your smartphone protects you from it, just
- 37:48Speaker 2: good luck. Good luck opening any app, including OnlyFans, I imagine.
- 37:56Speaker 2: without getting hit with ads for your favorite congressman. Not
- 38:00Speaker 2: that that says.
- 38:01Speaker 15: According to a new report from Discovery Education, 92% of
- 38:05Speaker 15: students say that engaging lessons make school more fun, and
- 38:08Speaker 15: more than 90% of educators said engagement is critical for
- 38:11Speaker 15: student achievement. Student engagement is essential for learning, but gaps
- 38:16Speaker 15: remain about how to achieve, measure, and sustain students' interest
- 38:19Speaker 15: in the classroom. Although 63% of students agreed that students
- 38:23Speaker 15: are highly engaged in school, Only 45% of teachers and
- 38:27Speaker 15: 51% of principals surveyed agreed with the same statement. Educators
- 38:32Speaker 15: disagreed on the top indicators of engagement. 72% of teachers
- 38:37Speaker 15: said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of student engagement,
- 38:41Speaker 15: while 54% of superintendents rate performing well on assessments as
- 38:45Speaker 15: a top engagement indicator. Also, two-thirds of students said they
- 38:49Speaker 15: believed that AI could help them learn faster. Yet fewer
- 38:52Speaker 15: than half of teachers report using AI themselves to complete tasks.

- 40:02Speaker 16: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
- 40:05Speaker 16: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
- 40:09Speaker 16: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
- 40:13Speaker 17: Oh, yes!

- 40:57Speaker 14: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
- 41:03Speaker 14: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
- 41:08Speaker 14: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
- 41:12Speaker 14: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
- 41:15Speaker 14: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
- 41:21Speaker 14: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
- 41:24Speaker 14: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
- 41:27Speaker 14: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
- 41:32Speaker 14: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
- 41:36Speaker 14: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.

- 43:29Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
- 43:35Speaker 13: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking

- 44:12Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the talk media network.
- 44:16Speaker 4: All right.
- 44:16Speaker 2: Now I can't unsee what you've shown me. So the
- 44:20Speaker 2: enterprising folks behind the scene have gone and found me
- 44:24Speaker 2: the list. Charles, Charles, and, and, I appreciate the fact
- 44:35Speaker 2: that there is sort of like that giggling in church thing.
- 44:37Speaker 2: I know there are serious things afoot. We've got election
- 44:42Speaker 2: mismanagement in Brazil and people in California saying, hey, that's
- 44:46Speaker 2: not a bad idea. We have a lot of people
- 44:49Speaker 2: from south of the border here. Let's just extend voting.
- 44:52Speaker 2: We just won't tell anyone. And the president's rallies and
- 45:00Speaker 2: deal in the border area crisis with Canada and all
- 45:05Speaker 2: of those things but sometimes just a little thing like
- 45:09Speaker 2: this is exactly what you need to get a weekday
- 45:12Speaker 2: started because it's been so serious why so serious and
- 45:25Speaker 2: you know that I live by the mantra satirized for
- 45:28Speaker 2: your protection The worst thing that can happen to someone
- 45:32Speaker 2: like Ilhan Omar is that you don't take her seriously.
- 45:36Speaker 2: That you don't give her the gravity that she thinks
- 45:39Speaker 2: she deserves. And Charles sends me this graphic. It's a
- 45:48Speaker 2: picture of Ilhan Omar and her, quote, husband. The headline,
- 45:55Speaker 2: it's an advertisement. It's supposed to look like an advertisement.
- 45:59Speaker 2: Think you may have accidentally married your brother? Incestry.com can
- 46:04Speaker 2: help with a DNA test starting at $ 29.
- 46:07Speaker 17: 99.
- 46:08Speaker 2: See, this is the kind of stuff. This is where
- 46:10Speaker 2: we all gather around and we have a certain amount
- 46:15Speaker 2: of fun at other people's expenses. Mike particularly liked OnlyFamilyMembers.com.
- 46:25Speaker 2: I appreciate it. Thank you, Mike, for the text. But
- 46:27Speaker 2: my gosh. They went and they sent me the list.
- 46:31Speaker 2: So first off, OnlyFansFinder is a creepy-sounding website. Does this
- 46:37Speaker 2: mean you're watching us, watching the defectives? So OnlyFansFinder says
- 46:45Speaker 2: that my hometown of New York City is the second-largest
- 46:48Speaker 2: spender on OnlyFans accounts, only after Los Angeles. But I
- 46:53Speaker 2: looked at that list and I said, well, that's just obvious.
- 46:56Speaker 2: You know, L.A., New York, Chicago. are all tops. And
- 47:02Speaker 2: I mentioned that Dallas, you know, the DFW is in
- 47:05Speaker 2: the top five Houston. Yeah, they are because they're huge places,
- 47:12Speaker 2: but then you get into, you know, they even rank
- 47:15Speaker 2: it per household. You know, LA is 18th per household,
- 47:22Speaker 2: $ 189 million spent in total. And last year on only
- 47:26Speaker 2: fans accounts, 18th nationwide. But I think, okay, So they
- 47:30Speaker 2: rank it, you know, per capita. So who are amongst
- 47:34Speaker 2: the top per capita cities or regions? And there's Brownsville, McAllen,
- 47:43Speaker 2: Texas at number three. El Paso, La Cruces is fifth.
- 47:50Speaker 2: I'm going through the top 10 of most per household spending. Odessa,
- 47:55Speaker 2: Midland is number one. $ 51. 00. per month average on OnlyFans.
- 48:04Speaker 2: Then Corpus Christi is seventh on the list. I'm thinking,
- 48:09Speaker 2: what the hell? Number 10, Beaumont, Port Arthur. That's where
- 48:14Speaker 2: we are. As long as you got the radio on,
- 48:18Speaker 2: I'm really not going to judge. I don't care particularly
- 48:22Speaker 2: one way or another. I just worry that this is
- 48:26Speaker 2: one of those places that it's just going to get
- 48:30Speaker 2: Horrifically bad at some point. There's going to be something
- 48:36Speaker 2: that's just going to come completely off.
- 48:39Speaker 3: What?
- 48:41Speaker 2: Freedom 1300. Just somebody's listening on. I can listen to
- 48:45Speaker 2: you in Beaumont. Yeah, Freedom 1300. Take some strain off
- 48:52Speaker 2: of our web servers. But I just, I figured, oh, well,
- 48:57Speaker 2: let's see what the per household spending is. I mean,
- 49:00Speaker 2: New York is like 188th. It's like $ 20 a month.
- 49:05Speaker 2: And Lord knows all you have to do is go
- 49:07Speaker 2: down to the roads around Times Square and Washington Square
- 49:12Speaker 2: Park in New York and see, all sorts of things
- 49:16Speaker 2: that you'll never see on OnlyFans. Anyway, a couple of
- 49:21Speaker 2: reactions to extending voting nationwide in Brazil's presidential runoff. Mary
- 49:29Speaker 2: writes in at JTInTheMorningRadio at gmail.com, Joe, why should we
- 49:35Speaker 2: be complaining about Brazil extending their voting a few hours?
- 49:40Speaker 2: We're all voting early because of what now? COVID? Aren't
- 49:44Speaker 2: we done with COVID? Well, no, no, they keep trying
- 49:47Speaker 2: to drag COVID back out there, Mary. But they want
- 49:52Speaker 2: us to vote early, vote often, because it's next to
- 49:57Speaker 2: impossible as you extend the voting hours, you extend the
- 50:00Speaker 2: voting days for scrutiny. Scrutiny becomes the issue. Who are
- 50:11Speaker 2: you and where are you voting and are you voting properly?
- 50:19Speaker 2: And this feeds into, Mary, as you're pointing out, into
- 50:22Speaker 2: this zeal for community members voting. Oh, we need to
- 50:28Speaker 2: make sure all of the, quote, community members are heard from.
- 50:33Speaker 2: And what does that mean exactly? That means people who
- 50:36Speaker 2: are there. Jake Fry, to take Jake mayor of Minneapolis,
- 50:42Speaker 2: told us, put voice to the words. ICE is trying
- 50:48Speaker 2: to disenfranchise your abuelas and your busboys. So that's why
- 50:54Speaker 2: we have mass migration at the border for busboys? Or
- 50:58Speaker 2: do we have it in part for that? Sure. Or
- 51:01Speaker 2: is it hiding a bigger kind of French fried agenda?
- 51:12Speaker 2: Are we looking at something a little bit more dangerous
- 51:17Speaker 2: in terms of who we are and what is our
- 51:21Speaker 2: country going to be like going into the future? Because
- 51:23Speaker 2: there are people who are turning out to vote that
- 51:30Speaker 2: believe that lying, not a deadly sin, but actually a
- 51:39Speaker 2: religiously mandated... proposition in order to fight those who do
- 51:48Speaker 2: not agree with them, the infidel. And notice that there
- 51:54Speaker 2: are religious beliefs, especially in the extreme interpretations, that are
- 52:00Speaker 2: not about fighting evil. They're about fighting people who don't
- 52:03Speaker 2: agree with you. It's like when Karl Marx wrote about communism.
- 52:14Speaker 2: In some instances, people are just not going to understand
- 52:18Speaker 2: and will have to be removed from the community. Oh,
- 52:22Speaker 2: that's inspiring, isn't it? That makes me want to join in.
- 52:27Speaker 2: Sure as hell is right up there with we hold
- 52:29Speaker 2: these truths to be self-evident that all men are created
- 52:33Speaker 2: equal and endowed by their creator with unalienable rights. Compare
- 52:39Speaker 2: that to some people may need to be removed from
- 52:41Speaker 2: the community or it's okay to lie to somebody who
- 52:44Speaker 2: doesn't agree with you and kill them. Those are the
- 52:49Speaker 2: things that are kind of hidden.
