Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: We'll do it live.
- 0:05Speaker 2: Making mornings great again.
- 0:06Speaker 3: We'll do it live.
- 0:07Speaker 2: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
- 0:11Speaker 4: And we'll do it live.
- 0:12Speaker 5: Joe works hard to steal me up, works damn near
- 0:15Speaker 5: every day.
- 0:16Speaker 3: Including Saturday.
- 0:17Speaker 6: Leaves for work when the sun comes up, drops the
- 0:20Speaker 6: kids to school and all the work.
- 0:23Speaker 7: Joe has everything he dreamed of, all the treasures that
- 0:26Speaker 7: he needs.
- 0:27Speaker 8: No wonder Joe's always smiling, he only.
- 0:31Speaker 9: Aims to please you.
- 0:36Speaker 10: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
- 0:38Speaker 10: these mornings. And if you don't get all of the program,
- 0:42Speaker 10: maybe you tune in and say, Oh, he's here every day,
- 0:47Speaker 10: five days a week, Monday through Friday as well. Each
- 0:50Speaker 10: morning we get you started and you can find out
- 0:52Speaker 10: what we got into those days at Joe Thomas in
- 0:55Speaker 10: the morning.com. And we post all the programs and podcasts
- 0:58Speaker 10: form with track lists. So you can go and find, Oh,
- 1:01Speaker 10: that sounds interesting. And go and get it and watch
- 1:05Speaker 10: stories unfold in ways that few other people are unfolding them.
- 1:10Speaker 10: It's like reverse origami. This one comes in from Joe
- 1:15Speaker 10: listening in central Virginia to our flagship station, WTON at 101.1 FM.
- 1:21Speaker 10: Listening to you this morning made me think back to
- 1:25Speaker 10: mechanical drawing class in the seventh grade. The teacher asked
- 1:28Speaker 10: someone for their pocket knife. No one in class, all males.
- 1:32Speaker 10: had one, and we got chastised for the teacher for
- 1:35Speaker 10: the remainder of the class.
- 1:37Speaker 3: Boy, how things have changed.
- 1:40Speaker 10: Yeah, that stuff won't make it through the metal detector
- 1:42Speaker 10: getting into school, Joe, anymore there. To the point of
- 1:46Speaker 10: trying to get better, the first and easiest point is
- 1:52Speaker 10: our ignorance of these stories, our insistence by commentators like me,
- 1:57Speaker 10: I don't want to give these people notoriety.
- 2:00Speaker 3: It's not about giving people notoriety. The notoriety.
- 2:04Speaker 10: Obviously, this kid Griffin has assumed room temperature. He's not
- 2:08Speaker 10: getting notoriety from it. My heart breaks for a mother
- 2:12Speaker 10: that's got to live with this, much like Jeffrey Dahmer's
- 2:16Speaker 10: father has to.
- 2:17Speaker 3: Live with it.
- 2:19Speaker 10: Or David Berkowitz's family or Colin Ferguson's family. Never mind
- 2:24Speaker 10: the McCarthy's family and all those families in the Route 81,
- 2:29Speaker 10: Route 91 Country Music Festival. Or the manager of the
- 2:35Speaker 10: hotel or the bellman that helped carry all the bags
- 2:39Speaker 10: up to Paddock's room. There are victims that are all
- 2:46Speaker 10: over the place in these stories. And we don't get
- 2:48Speaker 10: better at this until we start looking at how we
- 2:52Speaker 10: help one another not be that guy. We talked about
- 2:57Speaker 10: this on Friday's program. There was a horrific murder scene.
- 3:01Speaker 10: in our flagship city of Charlottesville, Virginia, two lacrosse players
- 3:06Speaker 10: star crossed.
- 3:07Speaker 3: It was like a story. It was a movie of
- 3:08Speaker 3: the week.
- 3:09Speaker 10: Handsome male lacrosse star, beautiful female lacrosse star.
- 3:13Speaker 3: He bashed her head into a wall until she died. Horrific. Absolutely.
- 3:21Speaker 10: And it doesn't even begin to from what the police
- 3:24Speaker 10: officer said. It's very much like the Tennessee woman and
- 3:28Speaker 10: what she did to the girl with the piece of
- 3:30Speaker 10: concrete and just bashed her face and the evil and
- 3:35Speaker 10: the violence and the hatred that has to go into that.
- 3:38Speaker 10: We don't get better from that by ignoring it. That's
- 3:42Speaker 10: what Lucifer wants us to do is ignore these stories
- 3:46Speaker 10: so he can go out and get more perpetrators. We
- 3:51Speaker 10: need to suit up against him in this and say,
- 3:55Speaker 10: how does a kid decide to take a shotgun to
- 3:58Speaker 10: school A school he doesn't even go to anymore. What
- 4:05Speaker 10: pain do most of us not even grasp? Remember, this
- 4:11Speaker 10: is 1% of the population. This isn't even our usual
- 4:15Speaker 10: 95% of the news gets dedicated to 5% of the population.
- 4:18Speaker 3: This isn't even that.
- 4:31Speaker 10: This is 1% of the population. So let's get our
- 4:37Speaker 10: first things out here. We've got folks hanging on the line.
- 4:39Speaker 10: Did that kid ever call back from Florida? A guy
- 4:43Speaker 10: called at like 5.15 this morning. We hadn't started the
- 4:46Speaker 10: program yet, and I told him we came on the
- 4:48Speaker 10: air at 6. He never called back. Well, see if
- 4:52Speaker 10: he got that number. We could probably text him and
- 4:54Speaker 10: really freak him out, right? FBI and U.S. Cyber Defense Agency, CISA,
- 5:01Speaker 10: urging election officials and the American public to be on
- 5:04Speaker 10: guard for AI-generated advertisements and postings on social media that
- 5:13Speaker 10: are designed to trick you. The FBI warned that hackers
- 5:18Speaker 10: may disrupt the elections using bogus text messages and emails
- 5:22Speaker 10: aimed at stealing passwords and other sensitive data that directed
- 5:27Speaker 10: at election officials. Also warning that people using artificial intelligence
- 5:34Speaker 10: to create more authentic looking emails and text messages, more
- 5:42Speaker 10: so than the one that got John Podesta to open
- 5:44Speaker 10: his email because the Golden Girls in their birthday suits
- 5:49Speaker 10: was compelling or whatever it was that got him to
- 5:52Speaker 10: click the phishing scandal. It's been an interesting week in
- 5:58Speaker 10: the Russian and Ukrainian war as President Trump has, with
- 6:04Speaker 10: just hours to go, stopped the sanctions from being imposed
- 6:08Speaker 10: on Russia that were set up in the name of
- 6:11Speaker 10: Lindsey Graham. This comes after Russia agreed to sell us
- 6:16Speaker 10: a bunch of crude diesel fuel that we could refine somewhere.
- 6:21Speaker 10: And mysteriously, how our intelligence sharing with Ukrainians got a
- 6:26Speaker 10: little spotty when it came down to ballistic missiles. And
- 6:30Speaker 10: then Skynet stopped, I mean, Starlink, stopped helping the Ukrainian
- 6:36Speaker 10: drones fly. The chief of Ben Police, Mike Krantz, says
- 6:41Speaker 10: the teacher and the dad are heroes. The teacher in
- 6:44Speaker 10: the classroom where the 16-year-old John Griffin lives. came in,
- 6:49Speaker 10: hit him in the face with her cell phone and
- 6:51Speaker 10: then tackled him. And that's when the dad came in,
- 6:56Speaker 10: father of another student there, and shot the kid while
- 6:59Speaker 10: he was wrestling.
- 7:03Speaker 11: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
- 7:08Speaker 11: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
- 7:13Speaker 11: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
- 7:17Speaker 11: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
- 7:22Speaker 11: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
- 7:27Speaker 11: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 7:32Speaker 11: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
- 7:35Speaker 11: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
- 7:39Speaker 11: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
- 7:41Speaker 11: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,
- 7:46Speaker 11: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

- 8:05Speaker 11: optimized curcumin is one of the few bioavailable and highly
- 8:09Speaker 11: absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi, I'm Dr.
- 8:14Speaker 3: Mitch.
- 8:15Speaker 11: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
- 8:20Speaker 11: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 8:24Speaker 11: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 8:29Speaker 11: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 8:33Speaker 11: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
- 8:39Speaker 11: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
- 8:44Speaker 11: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances,
- 8:47Speaker 11: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells, even
- 8:52Speaker 11: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,

- 9:02Speaker 12: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
- 9:06Speaker 12: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
- 9:10Speaker 12: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you

- 9:17Speaker 12: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
- 9:22Speaker 12: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
- 9:26Speaker 12: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
- 9:29Speaker 12: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
- 9:33Speaker 12: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
- 9:38Speaker 12: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
- 9:43Speaker 12: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
- 9:46Speaker 12: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.

- 9:59Speaker 13: I'm Jeff.
- 10:13Speaker 3: Who work hard to provide for their young.
- 10:14Speaker 14: Or penguins, who travel up to 500 miles to secure
- 10:18Speaker 14: food for their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump
- 10:21Speaker 14: allows them to navigate the trees and the wild in
- 10:23Speaker 14: search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by
- 10:26Speaker 14: our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are our
- 10:29Speaker 14: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
- 10:32Speaker 14: they also perform life-saving work every day. Dogs keep us
- 10:35Speaker 14: safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom
- 10:38Speaker 14: suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when
- 10:41Speaker 14: there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have
- 10:44Speaker 14: a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society
- 10:47Speaker 14: and help those in need.
- 10:48Speaker 2: So please join me and American.
- 10:50Speaker 14: Humane in supporting our heroic working dogs and all the
- 10:52Speaker 14: amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org

- 10:59Speaker 15: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
- 11:01Speaker 12: Oh, yeah?
- 11:02Speaker 3: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 11:04Speaker 4: And now a speech.
- 11:07Speaker 16: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 11:10Speaker 3: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 14: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
- 11:15Speaker 7: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
- 11:18Speaker 7: somebody call me a ride.
- 11:20Speaker 15: Love that guy.
- 11:21Speaker 3: Me too.

- 11:24Speaker 5: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 11:29Speaker 13: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 11:31Speaker 13: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 11:35Speaker 13: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
- 11:40Speaker 13: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 11:42Speaker 13: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
- 11:46Speaker 13: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
- 11:52Speaker 13: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
- 11:55Speaker 13: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
- 11:59Speaker 13: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 12:01Speaker 13: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
- 12:04Speaker 13: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 12:08Speaker 13: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 12:11Speaker 13: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.

- 12:30Speaker 6: As a family member or friend, you may be the
- 12:33Speaker 6: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
- 12:35Speaker 6: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
- 12:41Speaker 6: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.

- 12:59Speaker 3: Surely you can't be serious.
- 13:18Speaker 1: I am serious.
- 13:19Speaker 2: And don't call me Shirley. First Thing Today by Joe
- 13:22Speaker 2: Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 13:29Speaker 11: Here's to the beauty of the stars.
- 13:31Speaker 10: Here's to the travelers on the open road.
- 13:34Speaker 3: Here's to the dreamers in the bars. Here's to the
- 13:38Speaker 3: soldiers of the bitter war.
- 13:39Speaker 2: Here's to the wall that bears their names.
- 13:43Speaker 3: Here's to you, my little loves. We're blessing some above
- 13:46Speaker 3: and let the day begin. Here's how it works. I
- 14:05Speaker 3: tell you what went on last night.
- 14:07Speaker 10: I'll give you my analysis of it, even in grand abstract.
- 14:11Speaker 10: And even when you don't agree with me, it's especially
- 14:13Speaker 10: good when you don't agree with me because that's where
- 14:16Speaker 10: the magic happens. And earlier we were talking about how
- 14:21Speaker 10: we fall prey to these kind of violent impacts and
- 14:24Speaker 10: why we seem inclined to blame the gun for it.
- 14:28Speaker 10: And we brought up the seven vices, the seven virtues.
- 14:32Speaker 10: And Kareem sent in a list that he generated online
- 14:38Speaker 10: for me. And it's, you know, it's the seven. It's,
- 14:40Speaker 10: you know, pride and greed and lust and envy and
- 14:44Speaker 10: gluttony and wrath and sloth versus humility and charity and
- 14:49Speaker 10: chastity and kindness and temperance and patience and diligence. And
- 14:54Speaker 10: he writes, does your seven and seven match? To which
- 14:57Speaker 10: I said, It's a little early for one of those,
- 15:01Speaker 10: but your list looks good.
- 15:03Speaker 3: Surely you can't be serious.
- 15:04Speaker 2: I am serious.
- 15:06Speaker 3: And don't call me Shirley.
- 15:08Speaker 10: 434-882-4217. But this is what happens to us. We forget
- 15:14Speaker 10: that there are truisms in the world. That there are
- 15:20Speaker 10: vices that we come into this world pre-wired with. And
- 15:23Speaker 10: being in Lucifer's realm.
- 15:27Speaker 10: This is what we have to battle with because he's
- 15:30Speaker 10: knocking on the door saying, hey, let me talk to
- 15:32Speaker 10: you about your neighbor and how they have more stuff
- 15:35Speaker 10: than you do.
- 15:36Speaker 4: What?
- 15:37Speaker 3: My neighbor has better stuff than I do. Oh, I
- 15:40Speaker 3: get so angry.
- 15:42Speaker 10: Or let me tell you about the kids at the
- 15:44Speaker 10: school that are getting all this stuff that you never got. Oh,
- 15:47Speaker 10: it makes me angry. That voice, it's not different people.
- 15:53Speaker 10: You may say, oh, it was some guy or some
- 15:56Speaker 10: kid I knew, maybe somebody. It's all the same guy.
- 15:59Speaker 10: You smell the brimstone? And we have to fight that.
- 16:05Speaker 10: We have to constantly be on guard for it. And
- 16:08Speaker 10: the danger here is that this is 1% of the
- 16:11Speaker 10: population that falls prey to their hate, to their greed,
- 16:17Speaker 10: to their pride, whatever it is. Maybe it's 2%. And
- 16:22Speaker 10: the 98% are the ones who fall victim to it.
- 16:25Speaker 10: They're the ones who are on the Long Island Railroad
- 16:28Speaker 10: train when Colin Ferguson gets on. They're the ones who
- 16:31Speaker 10: thought nothing of going to a country music festival in
- 16:35Speaker 10: Las Vegas in the shadow of Mandalay Bay. They were
- 16:42Speaker 10: the parents who sent their wheelchair-bound kid to school.
- 16:49Speaker 17: And.
- 16:50Speaker 10: are now at her bedside in the hospital hoping she
- 16:54Speaker 10: can come home again we've got a bunch of folks
- 16:57Speaker 10: online let me get line two in here and put
- 16:59Speaker 10: them on hold uh because i'm a giving sort that
- 17:02Speaker 10: way good morning who's this.
- 17:04Speaker 18: Hey good morning joe it's joel hey joel.
- 17:06Speaker 10: Uh your gift this morning uh is you get to
- 17:09Speaker 10: wait on hold for a moment we have callers ahead
- 17:11Speaker 10: of you so do you mind.
- 17:14Speaker 3: No, that's fine. Thank you.
- 17:15Speaker 10: And people say, why do you do that, Joe? It's
- 17:17Speaker 10: so you know I'm not screening your calls. I don't
- 17:20Speaker 10: want to know what you're going to ask me about first.
- 17:23Speaker 10: What's the fun in that?
- 17:25Speaker 3: Good morning, Dr.
- 17:27Speaker 17: Clark.
- 17:27Speaker 3: What's on your mind, sir?
- 17:30Speaker 1: Morning treatments are done. I'm walking through the place where
- 17:33Speaker 1: you can smell the Trump support getting my groceries, Joe.
- 17:38Speaker 3: Northwest Alabama.
- 17:40Speaker 14: Yes.
- 17:43Speaker 1: Let's see.
- 17:43Speaker 3: It was about the gun.
- 17:44Speaker 1: How did Cain murder Abel?
- 17:50Speaker 10: I'm sure it was a rifle, probably an AR.
- 17:55Speaker 1: Hit him with a rock. How did David slay the
- 17:58Speaker 1: uncircumcised Philistine giant?
- 18:01Speaker 3: Glock?
- 18:04Speaker 1: Rock?
- 18:05Speaker 3: It rhymes with Glock.
- 18:08Speaker 1: Yeah. Actually... I tell you what, when you're done with
- 18:12Speaker 1: the show and everybody listening, YouTube, Balearic Sling, and look
- 18:19Speaker 1: at what people can do with those things. I want
- 18:21Speaker 1: to know what Goliath was thinking.
- 18:26Speaker 10: Probably they could have had a long rifle and it
- 18:29Speaker 10: would have come out quicker.
- 18:32Speaker 1: Long range precision fire got the job done.
- 18:35Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
- 18:37Speaker 10: And you bring this up. What did Krista Pike do?
- 18:40Speaker 10: do on the side of that river in Tennessee? What
- 18:45Speaker 10: did George Hughley do to Yardley Love? None of these
- 18:51Speaker 10: involve guns. They involve hatred. They involve jealousy. They involve greed.
- 18:56Speaker 10: They involve spite. And they involve violence. And none of
- 19:02Speaker 10: it has to do with a gun.
- 19:05Speaker 1: So what we just had was A malefactor with a
- 19:11Speaker 1: gun stopped by. A dad on a lunch break with
- 19:15Speaker 1: a gun.
- 19:18Speaker 10: Who happened to be driving by and saw this 16-year-old
- 19:22Speaker 10: take a pot shot at a car that slowed down,
- 19:26Speaker 10: as the story I'm being told. The car slowed down.
- 19:30Speaker 10: The kid, the 16-year-old, had been shooting at the door.
- 19:34Speaker 10: The car slowed down. He shot at the car. That
- 19:37Speaker 10: drew the attention of... It's Caleb. And I had his name.
- 19:42Speaker 10: And I want to say Giordano, but it's not. It's
- 19:48Speaker 10: spelled close enough to look like that. But this 40-year-old,
- 19:53Speaker 10: Caleb Giamonco, whose kid goes to the school, saw the
- 20:01Speaker 10: Griffin kid shoot at the other passerby, pulled in, followed
- 20:06Speaker 10: him in the door, and put him down.
- 20:09Speaker 3: And here's the thing. Watch this in the narrative.
- 20:14Speaker 10: Because the story is now the teacher had already wrestled
- 20:18Speaker 10: him to the ground, according to law enforcement leaks out
- 20:23Speaker 10: of the law enforcement. This hasn't come from the chief
- 20:26Speaker 10: of the Bend, Oregon police. The leaks from the police
- 20:30Speaker 10: department is that the teacher had hit him in the
- 20:33Speaker 10: face with their phone, like thrown her phone at the kid.
- 20:37Speaker 10: And he stopped shooting long enough for supposedly her to
- 20:41Speaker 10: grab him. And that's when Jumanco came in and shot
- 20:46Speaker 10: him while they were wrestling. And then the narrative is
- 20:52Speaker 10: already starting to be developed that he didn't need to
- 20:55Speaker 10: do that because it had already been subdued by the
- 20:59Speaker 10: hero teacher rather than the guy who followed the kid
- 21:05Speaker 10: in and shot him. It's already beginning. And we haven't
- 21:09Speaker 10: even started the character assassination on Caleb Giamonco yet.
- 21:14Speaker 3: Wait, wait, wait.
- 21:17Speaker 1: Does every blue state have, like, restrictive stuff on your
- 21:20Speaker 1: ability to carry a gun? Yes, they do. And this
- 21:23Speaker 1: teacher was able to do this.
- 21:24Speaker 3: With a phone? Cell phone.
- 21:25Speaker 1: I want to know when you're going to have to
- 21:28Speaker 1: have a carry permit for a phone.
- 21:32Speaker 3: Well, remember, a lot of schools have banned cell phones.
- 21:36Speaker 10: Virginia's schools, cell phones are banned. So a Virginia teacher
- 21:39Speaker 10: wouldn't have even had the opportunity, he says, tongue understandably
- 21:43Speaker 10: firmly in cheek, to try to make Virginia legislators feel
- 21:47Speaker 10: squishy in places they don't like to feel squishy. Hearing
- 21:51Speaker 10: their names called out attached to the idea that teachers
- 21:55Speaker 10: and students may not have a cell phone to throw
- 21:58Speaker 10: it and assail it. who bust through the door with
- 22:01Speaker 10: a shotgun.

- 22:32Speaker 19: Would your car perform better with premium gas or regular?
- 22:35Speaker 19: What do octane ratings mean? I'm Ron Ananyan, The Car Doctor,

- 23:08Speaker 16: Oh.
- 23:10Speaker 19: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, SUV, or light truck,
- 23:14Speaker 19: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
- 23:17Speaker 19: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
- 23:21Speaker 19: That's what you should use. But there are exceptions to
- 23:23Speaker 19: the rule. Many high-end or luxury vehicles call for premium
- 23:27Speaker 19: or higher octane fuel. And the reason for this is
- 23:29Speaker 19: not just due to the octane rating. There are better
- 23:32Speaker 19: fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know, too,
- 23:36Speaker 19: that vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
- 23:38Speaker 19: with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
- 23:41Speaker 19: their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
- 23:44Speaker 19: your fuel choices around, say, every third tankful, you may
- 23:47Speaker 19: find better performance and miles per gallon because you are
- 23:50Speaker 19: cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive. Just
- 23:53Speaker 19: don't tell your mechanic you're trying to replace them anytime soon.
- 23:57Speaker 19: With your automotive prescription, I'm Ron Anany and the Car Doctor.
- 24:00Speaker 19: See you next time.
- 24:03Speaker 11: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 24:07Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 24:13Speaker 11: I'm Dr.
- 24:13Speaker 3: Mitch.
- 24:14Speaker 11: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
- 24:20Speaker 11: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 24:24Speaker 11: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 24:28Speaker 11: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 24:32Speaker 11: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
- 24:39Speaker 11: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
- 24:43Speaker 11: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
- 24:47Speaker 11: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
- 24:52Speaker 11: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,

- 25:02Speaker 12: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
- 25:06Speaker 12: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
- 25:10Speaker 12: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you

- 25:17Speaker 12: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
- 25:22Speaker 12: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never

- 25:33Speaker 12: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
- 25:38Speaker 12: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,

- 25:55Speaker 15: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
- 25:57Speaker 17: Oh, yeah?
- 25:57Speaker 3: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 26:00Speaker 15: And now a speech.
- 26:02Speaker 8: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 26:06Speaker 3: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
- 26:09Speaker 14: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
- 26:11Speaker 7: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
- 26:14Speaker 7: somebody call me a ride.
- 26:15Speaker 15: Love that guy.
- 26:16Speaker 1: Me too.
- 26:17Speaker 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 13: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 26:26Speaker 13: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 26:30Speaker 13: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
- 26:34Speaker 13: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 26:37Speaker 13: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
- 26:41Speaker 13: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
- 26:46Speaker 13: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
- 26:49Speaker 13: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
- 26:53Speaker 13: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 26:55Speaker 13: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
- 26:59Speaker 13: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 27:02Speaker 13: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 27:06Speaker 13: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
- 27:09Speaker 13: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

- 28:16Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 28:21Speaker 3: So this email is thought provoking, as Michael writes in.
- 28:39Speaker 10: From Las Vegas, and he says, thank you for doing
- 28:41Speaker 10: what you do out here.
- 28:42Speaker 3: It's early, and it's nice to hear someone else alive
- 28:45Speaker 3: at this hour.
- 28:46Speaker 10: I imagine on a Saturday morning at, what is it, 4.30
- 28:52Speaker 10: in the morning, finding somebody that's this perky is probably
- 28:56Speaker 10: a challenge in lost wages. But that being said, somebody's
- 29:01Speaker 10: pulling a lever somewhere. Just hopefully it's not yours, Michael.
- 29:06Speaker 10: His question is that if all these stories are designed
- 29:10Speaker 10: to drive us in a certain way, he's talking about
- 29:14Speaker 10: the Bloomberg stories, to make voters less likely to turn
- 29:19Speaker 10: out because they don't trust AI infiltrating their voter registry,
- 29:26Speaker 10: that getting election officials to open emails like John Podesta
- 29:31Speaker 10: did and leaking the Hillary documents. Why would this be
- 29:37Speaker 10: coming out now? Because they want you to stay home.
- 29:40Speaker 3: Michael.
- 29:41Speaker 10: They want you to stay home because you don't trust
- 29:44Speaker 10: the system. You don't participate in a system you don't trust.
- 29:48Speaker 10: This gives them the authority to get elected, which then
- 29:51Speaker 10: gives them the opportunity to grab the big bag of
- 29:54Speaker 10: other people's money. And the bag will grow larger because
- 29:58Speaker 10: they will tell you, All these tax cuts have to
- 30:01Speaker 10: go away. You're not paying your fair share. These people
- 30:04Speaker 10: are the you're not paying a fair share crowd. That's
- 30:08Speaker 10: what's on the ballot. A bunch of people who will
- 30:11Speaker 10: tell you, don't tax me, don't tax you, tax the
- 30:15Speaker 10: other guy behind the tree. When you wind up being
- 30:20Speaker 10: the other guy behind the tree. Nobody who makes more
- 30:25Speaker 10: than a million dollars is going to escape our wrath. Oh,
- 30:28Speaker 10: you mean all the small business owners that might generate
- 30:31Speaker 10: a million dollars in revenue in a year, you're going
- 30:33Speaker 10: to tax them more. Texas is full of this right now.
- 30:39Speaker 10: People who want to create more taxes, more fees for
- 30:42Speaker 10: businesses if they're successful.
- 30:46Speaker 3: They want to tax unearned money.
- 30:53Speaker 10: It's like they want to tax your assets that you
- 30:58Speaker 10: haven't sold. Well, your house is worth $ 300, 000 and your
- 31:03Speaker 10: property taxes are the example they use. Well, we tax
- 31:08Speaker 10: your house on its value and you haven't sold that.
- 31:13Speaker 10: So now they want to tax your assets in the
- 31:16Speaker 10: same way they tax your property by saying, well, this
- 31:20Speaker 10: stock is worth $ 500 a share right now. You haven't
- 31:24Speaker 10: sold any of them, but we're still going to tax
- 31:27Speaker 10: you on that money. That's what's on the ballot now.
- 31:30Speaker 10: If you stay home, you're letting those people win. And
- 31:33Speaker 10: it has nothing to do with Trump or Obama, though
- 31:37Speaker 10: they are both on the ballot. This is as much
- 31:40Speaker 10: Trump versus Obama as it would be if the two
- 31:43Speaker 10: of them ran against each other for president, because Obama's
- 31:46Speaker 10: got these congresspeople he's endorsed, and Trump's got these congresspeople
- 31:51Speaker 10: he endorsed. And that's bottom line. You want more Valerie Jarrett,
- 31:55Speaker 10: more Joe Biden, more Hunter Biden. This is why you
- 31:59Speaker 10: have to have all this Kimberly Guilfoyle. Hey, did that
- 32:03Speaker 10: guy ever play his phone call? I was so disinterested.
- 32:07Speaker 10: I was putting an AM transmitter back on the air.
- 32:09Speaker 10: But that guy, the guy we talked about on Friday,
- 32:13Speaker 10: the one that brought down Kimberly Guilfoyle because she either
- 32:20Speaker 10: asked him, to make good on a promise to contribute
- 32:23Speaker 10: to a campaign or was trying to get him to
- 32:26Speaker 10: pay her cell phone bill.
- 32:27Speaker 3: You decide.
- 32:29Speaker 10: But he was doing his best washing powder ad, Krugerrand
- 32:34Speaker 10: salesman bit Friday morning, telling him, oh, I'm going to
- 32:39Speaker 10: bring down Susie Wiles and I'm going to bring down
- 32:41Speaker 10: Marco Rubio and J.D.
- 32:43Speaker 8: Vance.
- 32:43Speaker 3: I love Trump, but I'm going to bring everyone down
- 32:45Speaker 3: around him. I love him, though.
- 32:50Speaker 10: Joel's laughing, but that's what his message was. I love Trump.
- 32:54Speaker 10: I hate everything he's doing, but I love him. Explain
- 32:57Speaker 10: your kind of love then. It sounds almost like, you know,
- 33:00Speaker 10: you went to a Cornell frat party. What, too soon?
- 33:04Speaker 3: So, Joel, what brings you to our phone this fine
- 33:06Speaker 3: Saturday morning?
- 33:08Speaker 22: Well, I'm trying not to laugh.
- 33:11Speaker 3: No, why try not to laugh?
- 33:14Speaker 1: Why?
- 33:15Speaker 3: Why would you do that to me?
- 33:18Speaker 10: Don't you know I devoted seconds, seconds upon seconds to
- 33:22Speaker 10: some of this material?
- 33:24Speaker 22: Well, plus you got to probably use some of these
- 33:27Speaker 22: laughs for your, you know, when.
- 33:29Speaker 1: You air our little, I don't.
- 33:32Speaker 22: Know, human values and stuff.
- 33:34Speaker 3: Well, no, that's just your, I only do that to you, Joel.
- 33:37Speaker 17: That's it.
- 33:38Speaker 10: Anyway, what's on your mind? I'm sure you had a
- 33:42Speaker 10: reason for calling in the first place.
- 33:44Speaker 3: I did. I did.
- 33:46Speaker 22: I look at this. When I was growing up and
- 33:51Speaker 22: going to school, it seems like it was simpler. But
- 33:57Speaker 22: we had distractions around us. And people are trying to
- 34:00Speaker 22: take away from modern day to what's in the past.
- 34:05Speaker 3: And I think.
- 34:07Speaker 22: The thing that's missing in the past is the basics.
- 34:12Speaker 22: And when I was growing up, my parents would say, hey,
- 34:18Speaker 22: this is what you're expected to do as an adult.
- 34:23Speaker 22: And I'm going to show you now. And I saw
- 34:26Speaker 22: a good work ethic. My mom stayed at home with
- 34:29Speaker 22: us and we didn't have a lot of money, but
- 34:31Speaker 22: we had my mom, which was such a value. I mean,
- 34:34Speaker 22: she's such a kind person. And we got to, I
- 34:38Speaker 22: got to learn how to cook early. I got to
- 34:40Speaker 22: learn how to do certain things and I'd go out and,
- 34:44Speaker 22: and shovel snow. My dad was a professor at Xavier and,
- 34:48Speaker 22: and they didn't pay professors like they do now, but.
- 34:51Speaker 3: We all, I bet his students learn more too. Exactly.
- 34:57Speaker 22: And we didn't have, and I, I never looked at
- 35:00Speaker 22: it like, Oh, we don't have the designer shoes or,
- 35:04Speaker 22: We don't have these. But we had shoes. We had
- 35:07Speaker 22: a roof over our head. We had food. We had
- 35:09Speaker 22: not just value in those items, but we had value
- 35:12Speaker 22: in family. And my dad, he didn't mind. I'd go
- 35:16Speaker 22: out and try to make a garden, get in the dirt.
- 35:18Speaker 22: But a lot of these children don't even have the
- 35:22Speaker 22: basics of what it is to learn how to play
- 35:25Speaker 22: and to have fun.
- 35:26Speaker 3: Oh, they're told not to. Oh, it's even worse.
- 35:28Speaker 10: They're told not to. It's even worse than that, Joel.
- 35:33Speaker 10: It's not like they don't have the skills to. They're
- 35:35Speaker 10: told not to get the skills to. They're told the
- 35:38Speaker 10: other kids are scary. They're told that the other kids
- 35:41Speaker 10: are mean. They're told the other kids have COVID. They're
- 35:44Speaker 10: told that the other kids are going to make them sick.
- 35:47Speaker 3: Oh, no, no, no. And then we send them to
- 35:50Speaker 3: public school.
- 35:52Speaker 10: That's the most psychotic thing we do is we tell
- 35:54Speaker 10: our kids that all the other kids are bad.
- 35:56Speaker 3: And then we send them to a building full of them.
- 36:00Speaker 3: Is that insane or what?
- 36:02Speaker 22: Oh, I know, but how many in your area, Joe,
- 36:07Speaker 22: need help with their farm, need help with maybe cleaning
- 36:12Speaker 22: windows or picking up elderly? But I think what would
- 36:18Speaker 22: be interesting is if schools would say, hey, part of
- 36:23Speaker 22: passing to the next grade is learning how to work
- 36:29Speaker 22: with other people that maybe aren't the same age as you,
- 36:32Speaker 22: but learn from their, learn from what they've done in
- 36:36Speaker 22: the past and, and be part, get dirty. It's not
- 36:39Speaker 22: just about getting on your phone. It's not just about
- 36:43Speaker 22: being influenced by TV. It's not being influenced by negativity, but,
- 36:48Speaker 22: but by surrounded by getting dirty, because I think a
- 36:51Speaker 22: lot of, a lot of kids want to find value.
- 36:54Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 36:54Speaker 10: But you see, that's the, you see, and, and I
- 36:56Speaker 10: get what you're saying because in, On October 17th, 2026,
- 37:00Speaker 10: that's where we are. The public school is it. But
- 37:05Speaker 10: that's the role that used to be and should be
- 37:07Speaker 10: the role of scouting or the Boys and Girls Club
- 37:12Speaker 10: or membership in a fraternal organization, youth organization, YMCAs, YMAJs.
- 37:19Speaker 10: These groups, these clubs, these associations, that's where you were
- 37:23Speaker 10: supposed to learn this stuff. You were supposed to apprentice
- 37:29Speaker 10: in society after school. You would come home and either
- 37:33Speaker 10: you had a job or you went to the Boys
- 37:37Speaker 10: and Girls Club and you had to learn society there
- 37:40Speaker 10: because the six hours in the school, you were supposed
- 37:44Speaker 10: to learn arithmetic, reading and writing. And raw reading, arithmetic
- 37:52Speaker 10: and writing. It's not the three R's. It's really just
- 37:55Speaker 10: we got to rub you raw. reading arithmetic and writing.
- 37:59Speaker 10: And that's what you're supposed to learn there.
- 38:00Speaker 23: Can you believe with all the recent violent protests, looting
- 38:05Speaker 23: and destruction, some areas are considering either defunding or abolishing
- 38:10Speaker 23: the police? At a time when America's neighborhoods need the
- 38:13Speaker 23: protection of police the most, some elected officials would rather create.
- 38:17Speaker 3: More chaos by playing politics.
- 38:20Speaker 23: If you're sick of elected officials caving in to demands
- 38:23Speaker 23: of the radical left, you're not alone. It's time we
- 38:26Speaker 23: stand up and declare our support for local police.
- 38:30Speaker 3: The majority of police.
- 38:31Speaker 23: Officers are important partners in protecting our God-given rights. If

- 40:09Speaker 4: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
- 40:14Speaker 17: Oh, yes!
- 40:14Speaker 3: Yes!
- 40:16Speaker 15: Yes!
- 40:17Speaker 4: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
- 40:21Speaker 4: favorite form of ear candy.
- 40:22Speaker 13: Oh, my.
- 40:24Speaker 4: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
- 40:28Speaker 21: Shh.
- 40:30Speaker 2: Do you smell that?
- 40:32Speaker 4: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is Goodwill.
- 40:39Speaker 4: And with every item you buy, you fund local job
- 40:42Speaker 4: training and more.
- 40:44Speaker 3: So go forth.
- 40:46Speaker 4: Bring home those donut earrings. And bring home so much
- 40:50Speaker 4: good to your community.
- 40:54Speaker 1: Goodwill.
- 40:55Speaker 4: Bring good home.
- 40:58Speaker 9: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
- 41:03Speaker 9: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
- 41:08Speaker 9: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
- 41:12Speaker 9: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
- 41:15Speaker 9: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
- 41:22Speaker 9: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
- 41:24Speaker 9: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
- 41:28Speaker 9: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
- 41:33Speaker 9: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
- 41:37Speaker 9: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
- 41:41Speaker 9: Eat better. Get moving. Visit CheckUpAmerica.org or call 1-800-Diabetes. A

- 41:50Speaker 3: My name is Jim. I'm a veteran and I lost
- 41:53Speaker 3: both legs in Vietnam. My victory was proving that disability
- 41:57Speaker 3: is not a limitation.
- 41:58Speaker 2: I'm Julius.

- 42:56Speaker 4: Sure.
- 42:57Speaker 16: We'll probably stay together.
- 42:59Speaker 13: Probably?
- 42:59Speaker 7: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
- 43:03Speaker 3: I can probably swim.
- 43:05Speaker 1: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
- 43:08Speaker 3: Okay, don't tell me what to do.
- 43:09Speaker 7: Cannonball!
- 43:12Speaker 6: Cramp!
- 43:13Speaker 2: Oh, I have a cramp.
- 43:16Speaker 19: I can probably hit the green from here.
- 43:19Speaker 3: Probably... Ready to go?
- 43:27Speaker 15: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
- 43:29Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
- 43:35Speaker 7: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
- 43:39Speaker 7: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
- 43:42Speaker 7: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message

- 44:23Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 44:29Speaker 18: You caught me there. He's going through my inventory there.
- 44:39Speaker 18: This man needs to get to a hospital.
- 44:41Speaker 3: Hospital?
- 44:43Speaker 9: What is it?
- 44:46Speaker 14: It's a big building with doctors in it but.
- 44:50Speaker 3: That's not important now.
- 45:13Speaker 10: And, you know, as long as man has been out there,
- 45:16Speaker 10: this is what we were talking about with Clark. You know,
- 45:19Speaker 10: violence is being done because Satan wants us being violent
- 45:23Speaker 10: to one another.
- 45:27Speaker 3: Because once we're violent to one another, he feels like,
- 45:30Speaker 3: and this is why, you know.
- 45:34Speaker 10: Christianity's belief in forgiveness is important. We brought up the
- 45:41Speaker 10: story of David Berkowitz a few weeks ago. David Berkowitz
- 45:49Speaker 10: is known colloquially, kids, look up, son of Sam. And
- 45:59Speaker 10: son of Sam, like Colin Ferguson, is doing a lot
- 46:02Speaker 10: of time, three hots and a cot on the New
- 46:05Speaker 10: York State taxpayers.
- 46:07Speaker 3: But in prison, David Berkowitz....
- 46:11Speaker 10: Claims to, and the authorities in the prison say he has, converted,
- 46:17Speaker 10: found Jesus, and now works as a prison minister. Now,
- 46:25Speaker 10: I know that he will pay for the crimes he
- 46:29Speaker 10: committed in a place where crafty lawyers can't play semantic
- 46:37Speaker 10: games as to what the definition of is is. But
- 46:44Speaker 10: we also are in a world where, and this was
- 46:48Speaker 10: the super, once you fell, once you sinned, Satan won.
- 46:56Speaker 10: Jesus came in and said, we need to change the
- 46:59Speaker 10: odds here. Satan's getting too good at convincing us to sin.
- 47:04Speaker 10: We need to be able to save people. thus the
- 47:14Speaker 10: word savior. And this is why, you know, we get
- 47:22Speaker 10: into these narratives and why these stories out of Bend, Oregon, or,
- 47:28Speaker 10: you know, even the story of the, oh, the scary
- 47:32Speaker 10: Russians are going to tell you to vote against, because
- 47:36Speaker 10: the Iranian, you know, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps endorsing
- 47:41Speaker 10: every Democrat and a few Republicans is as long as
- 47:44Speaker 10: they oppose Trump, doesn't tell you enough about what their
- 47:50Speaker 10: agenda is. Now we have Russian AI, supposedly, convincing you
- 47:58Speaker 10: to vote for Paxton instead of Tallarico. Really? I needed
- 48:03Speaker 10: AI to do that? How much of the AI is
- 48:08Speaker 10: out there telling you that Paxton is an embezzling, corrupt.
- 48:14Speaker 3: The story is out there. That's what it is.
- 48:22Speaker 10: And we fall prey to it because we are convinced
- 48:34Speaker 10: that there are bigger things going.
- 48:36Speaker 3: On, and it's not.
- 48:49Speaker 10: The problem we have in our world is that we're
- 48:53Speaker 10: allowing history to dominate our future. And certainly it is
- 49:03Speaker 10: to our peril that we don't learn from history. History,
- 49:09Speaker 10: as we've told you in the past, doesn't repeat itself
- 49:12Speaker 10: in as much as it rhymes with don't do enough
- 49:23Speaker 10: to help each other. We don't do enough to intercede
- 49:34Speaker 10: where interceding can happen.
- 49:36Speaker 3: But we also.
- 49:44Speaker 10: Have an enormous societal blind spot. And we need to.
- 49:50Speaker 10: So Colin Ferguson, we mentioned, the Long Island Railroad shooter.
- 49:56Speaker 10: Since what, 1996 was when he was finally convicted?
- 49:59Speaker 3: 95?
- 50:04Speaker 10: So 30 years now, Colin Ferguson is getting three hots
- 50:08Speaker 10: and a cot on the New York taxpayer because New
- 50:11Speaker 10: Yorkers don't do the lethal injection or anything for that matter. So,
- 50:24Speaker 10: you know, David Berkowitz, Colin Ferger, you name it. But
- 50:36Speaker 10: there was no way to know until you saw and
- 50:41Speaker 10: listened to his testimony about why he had been weaponized
- 50:48Speaker 10: against white people, believed that his economic position was because
- 50:56Speaker 10: these people on this train had been successful. Colin Ferguson
- 51:02Speaker 10: is very little different than the guy who shot the U.S.
- 51:06Speaker 10: healthcare CEO, Luigi. And yes, I'm breaking my own self-imposed rules.
- 51:15Speaker 3: They're my rules. I made them up.
- 51:17Speaker 10: About naming some of these people because we need to
- 51:21Speaker 10: save the next guy. We need to save the next girl.
- 51:28Speaker 10: And some of it is so thoroughly political. And Congresswoman McCarthy,
- 51:36Speaker 10: Carolyn McCarthy, whose husband was killed and son was permanently
- 51:41Speaker 10: disabled by Colin Ferguson on that Long Island Railroad train,
- 51:47Speaker 10: ran into Congress and then started almost immediately becoming the
- 51:51Speaker 10: very person, the very embodiment of that which had weaponized
- 51:56Speaker 10: Colin Ferguson against a train full of passengers, including her
- 52:00Speaker 10: husband and her son. By claiming that, you know, you're
- 52:07Speaker 10: screwed over by a system that rewards white Jewish people
- 52:12Speaker 10: or white people or white men or men in general
- 52:16Speaker 10: for You name it. The politicians that, like Robespierre before them,
- 52:25Speaker 10: have ginned up this revolutionary thought in people's heads. And
- 52:32Speaker 10: a reminder, this is 1993 when this happens. History doesn't repeat,
- 52:38Speaker 10: but it rhymes. Columbine was how long ago? History doesn't repeat,
- 52:47Speaker 10: but it rhymes. And the one thing we don't do
- 52:50Speaker 10: is try to save them.
- 52:51Speaker 3: You know, it's true.
- 52:52Speaker 16: Difficult times have a way of focusing us. We have
- 52:56Speaker 16: to think about what matters most when it comes to
- 52:58Speaker 16: our spending, our health care. This is why so many
