"Israeli Elections" (FTTxJT Wed 102826 hr4) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: I'm more mega now make America great again than I've
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: ever been. Making mornings great again. First thing today on
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Thank you for letting us be of service to you.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: We are going to jump right into our first things
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: here because we've got folks lining up outside just to
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: get down. As the B-52s told us here in our
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Love Shack radio program this morning. So our first things
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: this morning begin in Texas where Venezuelan crude arrived. It's
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: the first cargo ship. of the crude oil after the
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: deal between the United States and Venezuela.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: U.S.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Government gets it for free and will sell it to
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: ExxonMobil or Citgo, which is ironically the oil company that
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Hugo Chavez nationalized when he took over the country. Hacking
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: at the Federal Election Commission. What could go wrong with
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: a week to go before election culmination day? Electronic filing
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: system is offline. FEC's electronic filing system is currently offline,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: according to a report from the FEC. They are looking
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: for 11 guys with their leader named Danny Ocean. Israeli
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: voters appeared to leave Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu without a
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: parliamentary majority. That's not a surprise. In the entire history
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: of the nation of Israel, there has never been an
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: outright one-party majority in the Knesset. What has made Benjamin
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Netanyahu the longtime Prime Minister is his ability to build coalition. Now,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: the largest other block of votes, according to exit polls,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: these are not vote totals from the government, is the
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: party led by former military chief Gadi Eisenkant. Or Benjamin
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Netanyahu could reach out and build a coalition with large
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Arab-led blocks of seats. And that's a surprise to many
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: people that the largest number of elected Arab representatives in
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: any government in the Middle East is in Israel. Senior
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: State Department officials said Tuesday the Brazilian opposition candidate Flavio
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Bolsonaro and his family have been granted U.S. visas following
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: his very close election loss and the two hours of
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: extra voting that the president ordered to make sure he
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: got that extra 1% in there. The official who was
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: leaking the information to Reuters said State Department will issue
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: the visas this week so they can enter the United States.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: And those are our first things this morning here on
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: the Tonk Media Network. Now we can discuss what's been
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: going on there, because it wouldn't be fair, honestly, to
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: say what's on your mind this morning. So Dr. Clark
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: hanging on in northern Alabama outside. We need a Huntsville
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: station so Dr. Clark can listen to us over the
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: radio in the old-fashioned way. Good morning, Clark. How are
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: you doing, sir?
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: Hey, Joe. How are you?
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm about six feet, brown eyes, graying brown hair,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: long ponytail. But you know all that. You've been to
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: the Batcave. You got past Alfred.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: There it is.
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: So yesterday, I heard you say circus court. And the
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: first time you said it, I didn't know if that's
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: the way you said it, but that's just the way
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: I heard it. But then you did it again.
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: It's a little too much Norm Crosby growing up, but it's,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: you know, I think Ken Cuccinelli was the first person
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I ever heard refer to one of these circuit courts
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: as a circus court.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Who runs the circus?
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Ringmaster.
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: And that sounds a lot like a ringleader.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: So I sent you the article from Brazil.
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: Where Flavio Bolsonaro, I hope I said it right, had
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: his visa revoked within seven hours post-election, and the judge,
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: Alexandre de Moraes, had actually drafted the papers for that
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: to happen before.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: They did the election.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Interesting.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: Now, did you look at that article before?
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: I haven't had a chance to. You sent it right before.
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: You scroll through that article. You go about two-thirds of
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: the way down. It's an American Thinker article. People can
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: look it up. That guy looks just like Sakura from
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: the Sinbad movie. The evil bald wizard.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Okay, that requires us to have remembered the Sinbad movie.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: That was the one with Sinbad in it, right?
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: Well, no, that's the one that had Gordon Scott as Sinbad.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that Ray Harryhausen did all the animation stuff for.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: The classic one. Yes, it was.
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: And I just, I saw that guy in full regalia. And,
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: you know, if he had on like a funky hat
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: with a buckle, he could look like Cotton Mather. But no,
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: I was definitely vibing Sakura looking at him.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: And then I'm like, wait a minute. So I pulled
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: up a picture of Bozberg.
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: Has anybody ever seen these two judges at the same
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: time at the same place?
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: A little too familiar looking?
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: I swear there's a type there.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Well, you go to a lot of law schools. Go
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: to Harvard Law School and look at the men and
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: the women. You start to think, yeah, they're all going
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: to look alike when they get older. You start to
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: wonder if we're not already doing Brave New World.
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: Well, this stuff.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: has come full circle.
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: Because we used to say that bad politicians were like
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: something from a banana republic. But now, banana republics, the
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: politicians are being compared to American Democrats.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Funny that. Funny how that always works out.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: I got to wonder if people in Brazil are like,
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: Alexandre de Moraes, he's as bad as Merrick Garland.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, you got to understand jealousy is one
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: of our human vices. And, you know, the American Democrats
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: look at the way guys like Hugo Chavez. Remember, the
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: first place Barack Obama went. No, no, I can't wait.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: I can't. The light at the end of the tunnel
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: is an oncoming opportunity to pay our electric. At Hot
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Shot Secret, we listen to our customers. Everyday Diesel Treatment

• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Ford F-350 Power Stroke. I've been using Hot Shot Secret
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: EDT every tank for almost three years, and I've seen

  Speaker 10: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 10: I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 10: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 10: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 10: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:32
  Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  Speaker 10: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer,
• 8:43
  Speaker 10: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
• 8:46
  Speaker 10: many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy
• 8:51
  Speaker 10: cells even from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to
• 8:57

  Speaker 5: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 11: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 10:01
  Speaker 11: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 11: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 11: but also their tireless work ethic.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Just look at the.
• 10:08
  Speaker 11: Birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 11: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
• 10:15
  Speaker 11: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
• 10:18
  Speaker 11: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
• 10:21
  Speaker 11: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 10:23
  Speaker 11: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
• 10:26
  Speaker 11: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
• 10:30
  Speaker 11: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving
• 10:33
  Speaker 11: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
• 10:36
  Speaker 11: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
• 10:39
  Speaker 11: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
• 10:42
  Speaker 11: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
• 10:44
  Speaker 11: trained roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
• 10:48
  Speaker 11: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 10:50
  Speaker 11: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 10:53
  Speaker 11: planet we inhabit together. Go to americanhumane.org to learn more.
• 10:59
  Speaker 12: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 12: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 13: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 8: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 12: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
• 11:15
  Speaker 12: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
• 11:18
  Speaker 12: call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 14: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 15: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:24
  Speaker 15: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:26
  Speaker 16: Boop!
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 7: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:39
  Speaker 7: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 7: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 11:54
  Speaker 7: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
• 12:18
  Speaker 7: money by reducing your energy waste, check out ftc.gov slash green.
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: A tip from the Federal Trade Commission. the nation's consumer
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: protection agency.
• 12:29
  Speaker 17: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 17: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 17: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:40
  Speaker 17: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 12:44
  Speaker 17: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
• 12:49
  Speaker 17: at maketheconnection.net and learn how you can support the veterans

• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Talk radio just the way your mother used to make it.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Is that why I smell gin?
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Looking for a friend to share my time.
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: Looking for a mountain I can climb.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: I ain't afraid of death or.
• 13:34
  Speaker 18: No one to do.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Do the best that I can do. With the spirit
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: of the wild.
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: Running free.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Remember that, brother.
• 13:47
  Speaker 18: I got the spirit of the wild inside of me.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: I bet you Ted paid the kids, too, to sing
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: along with him there, unlike the wall.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Dr.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Clark, he started into a tangent, and I had to
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: rein him in so that we could pay our electric
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: bill there. And please, as I said earlier in the program,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: visit these folks who back us there, Dr. Mitch and
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: all these folks, if you need what they're selling. Do
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: you have Joel's text message? Give me Joel's text message, too,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: because it's salient on the subject of liver issues there.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: And he brings up the pharmaceutical aspect of it. But, Clark,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: you were talking about banana republics and the American Democrat fixation.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: with the folks who run them, right?
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: Well, are they constantly trying to keep up with us,
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: and we're trying to keep up with them, and it's
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: just one-upmanship?
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Well, I think we're trying to keep them on the
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: other side of the hedgerow where the barbarians should be.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: I had a.
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: Talk with Warren because you were talking about adoptions and
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: that might get illegal. You know, Joe, every time a
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: baby's not aborted and adopted, that's one less illegal you
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: can bring into the country.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Who's at that border crossing? Can you see being assigned
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: to that border guard at every delivery room? Check his
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: ID there. But here's the other point you were making
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: about the banana republics and why Democrats seem to look
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: at them jealously. Remember, Barack Obama, first place he went
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: was to go get autographed copies of Hugo Chavez's autobiography.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: And so it's it is this view that that sort
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: of autocratic authoritarian rule is what the Democrats want. And
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: they haven't done anything governing wise to convince me otherwise. Clark,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: have they shown any of that inclination to you?
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: Well, I haven't seen any governance, Joe, so no.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, there is that, too. Anyway, good stuff, Dr.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Clark.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: You have a great morning, sir. Keep doing it. Always will.
• 16:15
  Speaker 14: 434-882-4217.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Text messages as well. Joel sent this one on our
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: subject of liver cancer month from last hour. And again,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: if you're only getting this hour, it's a blessing to
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: me that the station carries us, even if it's just
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: for this one hour and we produce four of them
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: every morning. Go find us on the podcast channels. I
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: know people ask me all the time where you can
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: stream the show, like our friends in Colorado Springs, Power
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Talk 1040. We're a week away from, no, a month
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: away from you guys being in a kickoff spot of
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: the Trans-Siberian Orchestra Tour. And so get your entries in
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: to JoeThomasInTheMorning.com. While you're there, you can see where you
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: can pick up the podcast. It's all the names you know.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: It's iHeart. It's Apple Podcasts. It's Spotify even has us
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: out there. But it's a blessing. It is a blessing
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: to know that, you know, we're getting heard in such
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: a great place like Colorado Springs. And I would never,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: you know, try to dilute that. I know people do listen.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: I mentioned this when Clark called. I mean, he's up
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: there by Huntsville. It'd be great to have a Huntsville station,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: spare him the need to hit up some app. And
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: then you go through the whole security certificate thing, which
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: we had to fix on our flagship station there. And
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: there are other stations that stream us. I think our
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: friends in Tampa, WBGS 1610 and 95.1 is the other station.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: frequency there in Tampa. 96.5. Okay. 96.5 and 16.10 down there.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: I believe they stream us as well. So you can
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: find different streams from around wherever you want to. But
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Joel writes in on this conversation we had October as
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: we approach the end is Liver Cancer Awareness Month. And
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: he said, the one thing you didn't discuss with the
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: doctor was medications that cause liver damage, cirrhosis, and sometimes cancer. And,
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: and he's right, you know, and, and we are, and I, I,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: I made some jokes about the liver blow. Uh, there
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: was a day, probably 10, 15 years ago, every talk
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: radio station, instead of gold, we all were sponsored by
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: colon blow or whatever it was called. Um, almost, it was,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: it got so crazy at the, at some point, um,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Saturday Night Live even had a funny commercial about colon
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: blow there. But everyone had a colon cleansing dietary supplement
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: that they were sponsored by. And we, on our end,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: we don't do the binge and purge stuff. My wife
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: takes care of the diet. She's the nutritionist in the
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: family with actual university classes behind her belt. in the
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: subject matter. But I mean, I haven't taken a medication.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: I think the last medication I took, now you can
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: point to the etoposide that I took during my lymphoma battle.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: But if you set aside that, the chemotherapy drip, I
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: never took the, they gave you steroids to keep your
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: health up, your appetite up. And I never took those steroids.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: I took one and I became like the Incredible Hulk.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: And I don't mean built up. I just mean angry.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: And my wife's like, who the hell are you?
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: Shut up.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Sit down. Did you take one of these? And I said, well, yeah,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: they told me to. So we called the doctor and
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: he said, well, they're there to keep your appetite up.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: I said, I'm doing fine, doc. I'm doing fine. And
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: so we had them, but I never took them. I
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: never took the drugs they give you for the binding up.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Let's just not be indelicate. That comes along with it.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: I did drink magnesium citrate every infusion session. But before that,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: I can't think of a medication I took. We're clean.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: We're like hippies in that we don't take meds. I
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: do take some cayenne pepper two, three, four times a day.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: And a lot of, what is it, turmeric. Because inflammation
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: is at the root of all these things. And turmeric
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: helps you stay uninflammed. I also understand it helps you
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: do tech support on the phone, but that's facts, not
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: in evidence, counselor. But good point, Joel. He is listening
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: to his stream. He's streaming us in northern Arizona and
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: watching the British Parliament. It's one of my favorite things
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: about working in the mornings is that, you know, sometimes
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: like C-SPAN will have a channel where they're just doing
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: the British Parliament, and they all get to yell at
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: the prime minister. I think there's got to be some
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: role for that. And I'm not one to say we
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: should have a parliamentary system. We have our version of
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: parliamentary government in our tricameral, but It's fun to watch
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: when they all start yelling at the prime minister. Let's see.
• 22:01
  Speaker 19: If something costs less, but people are happier with it,
• 22:05
  Speaker 19: that sounds like something to look into. And that is MediShare.
• 22:08
  Speaker 19: Maybe you've heard switching to MediShare to pay for health
• 22:11
  Speaker 19: care can save many families up to $ 500 a month.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: And that is huge.
• 22:15
  Speaker 19: But it's also true that people are way more satisfied
• 22:17
  Speaker 19: after making the switch, too. The member satisfaction rate for
• 22:21
  Speaker 19: MediShare is double that of the typical health insurance plan.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Double.
• 22:25
  Speaker 19: MediShare works too. It's been around for 30 years. Members
• 22:28
  Speaker 19: have shared more than $ 5 billion of each other's bills.
• 22:32
  Speaker 19: People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network.
• 22:35
  Speaker 19: So yeah, really, you can save a ton and like
• 22:37
  Speaker 19: it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
• 22:40
  Speaker 19: of your healthcare.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: So if you're.

  Speaker 10: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Products on the market.
• 24:12
  Speaker 10: Hi, I'm Dr.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Mitch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 10: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:19
  Speaker 10: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:24
  Speaker 10: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 24:28
  Speaker 10: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 24:32
  Speaker 10: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 24:39
  Speaker 10: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 24:43
  Speaker 10: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
• 24:46
  Speaker 10: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 24:52
  Speaker 10: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
• 24:57
  Speaker 10: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.

  Speaker 12: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 25:56
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah?
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 25:59
  Speaker 13: And now a speech.
• 26:02
  Speaker 20: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 26:06
  Speaker 10: Heart and brain.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Who's with me?
• 26:08
  Speaker 12: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
• 26:11
  Speaker 12: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
• 26:14
  Speaker 12: call me a ride.
• 26:15
  Speaker 14: Love that guy.
• 26:16
  Speaker 20: Me too.
• 26:17
  Speaker 15: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 26:19
  Speaker 15: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 7: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: energy assessment. Your utility company can help. Or you can
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 26:46
  Speaker 7: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 26:59
  Speaker 7: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 27:02
  Speaker 7: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

• 30:59
  Speaker 2: I said, not to be confusing or anything, this is
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: from First Thing Today by Joe Thomas. This isn't through
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: the radio station. I don't want some program director saying, hey,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: I was in the middle of a sales meeting and
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to get promotions ready for Halloween or get
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: my kids dressed up as Lord Voldemort. And people are
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: calling me saying, how do I enter Just go to JoeThomasInTheMorning.com.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: That is my show website, and you'll see the enter
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: to win there. It's not aside from the fact that
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: they carry us, and they're a blessing to do so.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: I don't want them to feel like they're off-put or
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: anything like that. I lived through the Where's Herb promotion.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Anyone old enough to remember Where's Herb? Back in... Decades ago,
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: when I ran Burger King restaurants, there was an ill-fated
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: promotion based around this idea, and they cooked up some
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: ridiculous story. It's a great example of what we were
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: talking about earlier. Tell the truth, and it's the best
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: marketing campaign you can come up with. But Burger King
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: had come up with some ridiculous idea that they had
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: found the one person in America that had never eaten
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: a Whopper. And his name was Herb. And he looked
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: a little stereotypically nerdy. And the promotion was you're supposed
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: to go to Burger King and find Herb. If you
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: could find Herb in your Burger King, you could win
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: like a million dollars. And what wound up happening is
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: somebody brought the actor in. who was playing Herb in
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: the commercials to a Burger King. Dumb idea in the
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: first place. And a diner saw him and said, oh,
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: it's Herb. And he wasn't in costume or anything. Because
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: there was a look. And they said, oh, there's Herb.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: And they called it in. And Burger King Corporation said,
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: that's not an authorized Herb visit. I'm telling you the truth.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: And it died a miserable death because the franchise owner
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: at the Burger King, where the actor that played Herb
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: had been, wound up paying the million dollars to the
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: diner lest he continue to get bad press. And then
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: every other Burger King franchisee said, get me out of
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: this promotion. Kill this promotion now. I don't want to
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: have to be liable for a million dollars anymore. if
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: somebody sees Herb and he's not supposed to be there.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: So I'm very sensitive. That was 40 plus years ago.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: I remember it like it was yesterday. Ridiculous, crazy. But
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: that's why I don't want you calling our great affiliates
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: and saying, hey, where's the thing to enter to win
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: the Trans-Siberian Orchestra tickets? So I belabor the point a
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: little bit. But, you know, whether you're listening to us
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: in Hannibal, Missouri, or Dalton, Georgia, you know, filling out
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: the application for the Audi plant, I don't think they're
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: open just yet. Or like I said, Power Talk 1040
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: in Colorado Springs or, you know, Freedom 970 in Portland.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: Just don't, just, you know, the station owners may or
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: may not even know about it. This is a deal
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: because I've known the guys in the band forever before
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: they were a band. And so I've, I've just always
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: been in with them. And it's why they come to
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: a little college town like Charlottesville to play because I'm here. Oh,
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: listen to Joe. Joe needs a checkup from the neck
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: up now.
• 35:05
  Speaker 10: Wow.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: He's just been sucked up into his own ego. All
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: of a sudden while Ziggy stardust in the morning, for you.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: I wanted to jump into another story, which I think
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: it makes people uncomfortable. But we were talking about this
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Chicago issue where the well-off Jewish man is going to
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: get an award from the Catholic diocese, and he's a
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: well-off Jewish man and gives lots of money to Democrat causes,
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: including causes that are pro-abortion and an anti-abortion group is
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: very much against the diocese and, you know, faster than
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: you can say Pope Leo and the White Sox, you
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: understand that the church has softened its position on abortion
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: over and over and over again in an attempt to
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: get more people into the church. as people who aren't
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: in the church aren't tithing and so on and so forth.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: And it's been a question of, you know, is the
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: word the word? Can you parse the word? Can you
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: say the word is the word? Well, except for those words.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: We're going to take those words out of the word
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: and we're going to make it okay. And a lot
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: of biblical scholars will say, well, that's what happened at
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: the Council of Nicaea. We picked and choosed what different
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: regional churches were saying were Gospels. But the support of
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Israel came up in the conversation about this Sachs fellow
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: and how he doesn't, like many other Jewish leaders, they
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: support the political party that doesn't support Israel. And this
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: whole thing of the Knesset elections that went on and
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: now we're waiting to find out the actual vote total
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: and Gaddy Eisenkot you'd say well he's the former general
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: of the army a military chief and he'd be a
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: hawk wouldn't he and not Benjamin Netanyahu but he is
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: one of these like the Democrats are using in the
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: United States one of these no new wars never never
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: again we want armies but we never want war people
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: And that's sort of his campaign, is that Israel put
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: itself in peril by attacking Iran and trying to put
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: an end to all this. But it seems like Israelis
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: are still, most of them are on the side of Netanyahu,
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: his party. And it's not really Eisenkot and Netanyahu, it's
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: their political parties.

  Speaker 12: In 2024... The American Heart Association celebrates 100 years of
• 38:05
  Speaker 12: life-saving service as the world's leading non-profit organization focused on
• 38:09
  Speaker 12: heart and brain health. Heart disease still kills more people
• 38:13
  Speaker 12: in the United States each year than all types of
• 38:15
  Speaker 12: cancer combined, but more than half of Americans are unaware
• 38:18
  Speaker 12: of this fact, according to a recent Harris Poll survey
• 38:21
  Speaker 12: conducted for the American Heart Association. However, the majority of
• 38:25
  Speaker 12: heart disease is preventable. New research has improved the prevention, diagnosis,
• 38:30
  Speaker 12: and treatment of heart disease and its risk factors. Efforts
• 38:33
  Speaker 12: led by the American Heart Association have reduced deaths from
• 38:36
  Speaker 12: heart disease by half over the past century and helped
• 38:39
  Speaker 12: people with heart disease live longer and more productive lives
• 38:42
  Speaker 12: while managing their condition and risk factors. To learn more

  Speaker 20: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 40:05
  Speaker 20: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
• 40:09
  Speaker 20: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 40:14
  Speaker 13: Oh, yes!
• 40:15
  Speaker 14: Yes!
• 40:16
  Speaker 20: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your

  Speaker 4: Oh, my.
• 40:24
  Speaker 20: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 40:28
  Speaker 18: Shh.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Do you smell that?
• 40:32
  Speaker 20: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is goodwill.
• 40:38
  Speaker 20: And with every item you buy, you fund local job

• 40:57
  Speaker 13: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 13: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 13: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 13: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 13: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 13: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 13: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 13: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 13: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 13: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.

  Speaker 20: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.

  Speaker 2: it comes to drinking and driving.
• 43:40
  Speaker 8: If you're drinking, call a cab, a car, or a friend.

• 44:13
  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: You're joining us on this Ted's day and letting us
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: be of service to you the day we celebrate your Tedness.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: That is the gift that God has given you. You
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: may not know what it is, but you got one.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: So I was saying as we headed into break about
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: this issue with Israel and this guilt trip, really, that
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: I want to call it out for what it is,
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: not Jewish at all. And, you know, where's the email
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: I got with the chat? I would love to know
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: what chat GTP thinks of Mike. Mike sent me a.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: chat GTP-generated image made out of that famous Jeffrey Epstein
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: picture with Donald Trump, only he superimposed Martin Luther over it.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: Just simply because, you know, it always happens, but the
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: ability to... make even the most, an American Jewish community
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: is very puzzling because of all the blessings of all
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: the liberty out there. One of the things that I
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: believe the Islamist knows is their chief weapon against the
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: Jewish community is that they have no compunction about blowing
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: your stuff up. Because they know as one of the
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: oldest societies in Western civilization, the things that we've earned,
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: the things that we've developed, the things that we have
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: built are precious to us. Americans, we're a little bit,
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: you know, because the percentage of us that rent, that
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: lease cars, that work for tech companies that are here today,
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: gone tomorrow. We've developed over the last generation or so
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: a little bit more of a laissez-faire attitude. Plus, our
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: economic strife and our political leaders tell us, well, it's
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: the rich guy behind the tree. That there's always some
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: shadowy rich guy that has all the money. And that's
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: why you don't have as much as you think you should.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: But the Jewish community is targeted by the Islamists because
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: they want to blow up their stuff. Because it hurts
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: the Jewish community more than it's going to hurt a
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: rubble farmer from Gaza. And it's been interesting during this
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: election cycle where I've seen fewer than I expected marginalized
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: community rhetoric being thrown around that, you know, the Hamas
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: is just a marginalized community of freedom fighters looking to
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: come here and assimilate their way of life. Okay, if
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: that's the sales pitch you have, but the other one is,
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: don't you feel bad for what you've made them do
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: to you? That to me is the ultimate gaslight to
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: get an entire country to capitulate to, okay, we'll concede
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: that we've probably made you do it. So when you
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: sit there and you puzzle and puzzle and puzzle some
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: more over what's going on in Israel over this election,
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: it is really exactly what's going to be going on
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: in a week's time here. Trump said no new wars,
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: and yet he created a new war. And what's sad
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: to me is a lot of my election, my elected
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: official friends won't pick up the banner of, no, he
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: just stopped the oldest war in American history. And they did.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: And one of the things that we here in the
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: United States, I think, take for granted sometimes, if you
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: live in Israel... so we watch and we wait for
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: the actual numbers. We're also reminded of why these exit
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: poll fascinations are dangerous because they're more and more, oh,
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: exit polls say, and this exit poll data just came in.
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: And if you wonder what an exit poll is, it's
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: less scientific even than a push poll, than a Larry
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: Sabato Center for Politics poll. Because there, what they do
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: is they start out with a premise. Democrats are fired up.
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: Democrats want to beat Trump. So they're going to turn
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: out more. It's not always the way it works. I'm sorry. So,
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: you know, and I just warn, you know, you guys
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: that are thinking that way. I wanted a guy sent
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: this in, Bob, who listens to us up in Minnesota, Minneapolis,
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: on KDIZ. And we appreciate your tuning in there and
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: spending some time with us at Freedom 1570. He said,
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: I heard you say one morning that you went to
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: a DJ school. Did you see this story about Slam Academy,
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: the DJ school? I don't know if it's the same
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: kind of DJ. I think it's club DJ. It's party
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: DJ training. So it's closing its studio at the end
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: of the fall semester following complaints about manager. managers. SLAM
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: Academy said it responded with company-wide meetings outside human resource
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: and legal health staff training and drug and school free
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: and alcohol and drug school free campus policy. But, you know,
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: I never saw anything like this, you know, at this.
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: But apparently there was harassment and some things that went
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: on that were considered unprofessional. But it's a different kind
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: of school than the one I went to in Connecticut.
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: But I appreciate you thinking about it. The one that
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: I find interesting is this one out of Minneapolis about
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: the Office of Community Safety. Remember, this was all the
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: post-George Floyd stuff. We want to defund the police while
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: keeping the police. What if we call it Office of
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: Community Safety. Nine to three vote. This was the program
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: that brought mental health and oversaw, used mental health to
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: oversee policing and fire. Why do you need Jacob Fry
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: to take Jake? And the city council created it in
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: 2022 after a study told them there was weak coordination. But,
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: you know, we'll poke on that a little bit further.
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: But thank you guys for joining me. So long and
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: thanks for all the fish.
• 52:51
  Speaker 12: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
• 52:53
  Speaker 12: compression of spinal nerves, according to Dr. Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
• 52:57
  Speaker 12: California-based chiropractor with more than 30 years of experience. This
• 53:01
  Speaker 12: compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury, or
• 53:05
  Speaker 12: simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
• 53:09
  Speaker 12: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
• 53:12
  Speaker 12: the neck and back, Dr. Fisher explains. His inventions, the
• 53:16
  Speaker 12: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device,
• 53:20
  Speaker 12: Safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
• 53:24
  Speaker 12: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are
• 53:27
  Speaker 12: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
• 53:30
  Speaker 12: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
• 53:33
  Speaker 12: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
• 53:36
  Speaker 12: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home.
