  Speaker 1: We'll do it live.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Making mornings great again. We'll do it live. First thing today.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Do it live. On the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: And we'll do it live.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Joe works at a steel mill. He's down here every day.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: Leaves for work when the sun comes up. Drops a
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: kid to school and on the way. Joe has everything
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: he dreamed of. All the treasures that he needs. No
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: He only aims to please you.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: this morning.
• 0:38
  Speaker 5: Mr.
• 0:40
  Speaker 6: President, when Columbus's crew begged him to turn back, it's
• 0:43
  Speaker 6: too scary.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: The water is too rough.
• 0:45
  Speaker 6: The ship can't take it. But he pushed onward, discovered
• 0:49
  Speaker 6: the new world, eventually leading to the creation of the
• 0:52
  Speaker 6: most exceptional nation. Christopher Columbus changed the future of humanity forever.
• 0:57
  Speaker 6: And in this administration, we know that Christopher Columbus is,
• 1:02
  Speaker 6: to us, he's a hero.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: He's a hero.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: It's the weekend that we have. Christopher Columbus, most notably,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: invented the furniture sale.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: And what?
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: No?
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I always thought it was ironic that the department stores,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: when I was younger, would always have a white sale
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: on Martin Luther King Jr.
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: Day.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: And then, of course, there was the back-to-school sale that
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: promoted rifles for sale. I always thought that was an
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: interesting sidebar. And I'm talking about like the big box
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: stores in New York. I mean, you get into rural,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: what was the question that was asked earlier? Joel asked
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: the question, where does Appalachia begin? You know, that's like saying,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: where do the suburbs begin? Where does the city end?
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: It's all about labeling people, about putting you into a category. Oh,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: you're Appalachian. What does that mean? So they want to pigeonhole,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: buttonhole you for whatever it is, whatever reasons they want
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: to do it. They have their agenda and they will
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: stick to it so that they can figure out what
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: mailers will have the most impact on you, what text messages,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: what social media ads will have the most impact. You
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: know what?
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: Screw them.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: If somebody sends you an ad for something you really want,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: go buy something else.
• 2:38
  Speaker 8: No.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a thought. Or buy something from somebody
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: else that is a purveyor of those products, like our
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: friends at jcsgold.com, a family business couldn't, you know, I mean,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: they want to help you invest in gold, but they're
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: not going to lose their job if you don't buy
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: gold from them. So you can actually trust their advice,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: or at least that's how I feel about it. Jcsgold.com,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: quickie form there. Our first things this morning, rain and
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: more rain, Valdosta, Georgia. where the rain continues. It's starting
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to abate. They're telling me the weatherman down there at
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: News Talk 105.9 says, even though the flood watch remains
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: in effect in Valdosta until 8 p.m., ours doesn't kick
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: in here in our flagship city of Stanton, Virginia, until
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I think 2 Sunday morning. But the track of this
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: last band, this last arm of Hurricane Isaiah is going
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to start breaking up as soon as it gets around Nashville.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: It's heading up across Nashville and Lexington, Kentucky, and then
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: it's going to just dissipate. But it went far further
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: west than a lot of the forecasters did. Still, to
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: be said, hundreds and thousands of people without power still
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: in the Gulf and southern Alabama up through the northern
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: areas of those states as the storm progresses. took out
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: power all across the area. Meanwhile, Russia, in the midst
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: of a phone call about something completely different, struck a
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: deal with the United States to provide 1.8 million tons
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: of diesel, which makes about 280 gallons each ton of diesel.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: President Volodymyr Zelensky took to social media and said, I
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: believe our team that was in Florida yesterday meeting with Messrs.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Kushner and Miller. I believe our team is simply being
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: used as a smokescreen. Certainly the arrangement is not fair.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: They punctuated this by apparently blowing up a portion of
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: it's a long shot, but a portion of a fuel
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: depot that reporters claim would have been used to load
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: up those barrels to send them to the United States.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: President Trump said he's committed on this Columbus Day weekend,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: or Disingenuous People's Day, whatever you call it, but he's
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: committed to keeping the legacy of Christopher Columbus alive. Authorities
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: in India, the subcontinental India, have cracked down across New
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Delhi as the youth cockroach movement takes to the streets
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: because the government removed more than 130 names from voter
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: lists so far, saying that they were expired and people
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: no longer alive. Federal judge, meanwhile, on Friday, rejected the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: administration's push to collect state voter registration records to compare
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: it to citizenship databases. And those are some of our
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: first things this morning.

• 6:12
  Speaker 7: and former Virginia Tech football coach. When I brought the
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: famed lunch pail to our team, it symbolized teamwork. The

  Speaker 12: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 12: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Products on the market.
• 8:12
  Speaker 12: Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
• 8:18
  Speaker 12: our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to
• 8:22
  Speaker 12: any nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing
• 8:26
  Speaker 12: or reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  Speaker 12: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  Speaker 12: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer,
• 8:43
  Speaker 12: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
• 8:46
  Speaker 12: many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy
• 8:51

  Speaker 13: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 13: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you

  Speaker 13: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:16
  Speaker 13: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls

  Speaker 13: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:37
  Speaker 13: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 13: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 13: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 13: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 14: I'm Jack Hanna.
• 10:00
  Speaker 15: Since I was a boy growing up on a farm
• 10:01
  Speaker 15: in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only
• 10:04
  Speaker 15: in awe of their beauty and kindness, but also their
• 10:07
  Speaker 15: tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds who gather
• 10:09
  Speaker 15: supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes.
• 10:12
  Speaker 11: Who work hard to provide for their young.
• 10:14
  Speaker 15: Or penguins, who travel up to 500 miles to secure
• 10:17
  Speaker 15: food for their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump
• 10:20
  Speaker 15: allows them to navigate the trees and the wild in
• 10:22
  Speaker 15: search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by
• 10:25
  Speaker 15: our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are our
• 10:28
  Speaker 15: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 10:32
  Speaker 15: they also perform life-saving work every day. Dogs keep us
• 10:35
  Speaker 15: safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom
• 10:37
  Speaker 15: suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when
• 10:41
  Speaker 15: there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have
• 10:44
  Speaker 15: a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society
• 10:46
  Speaker 15: and help those in need. So please join me and
• 10:49
  Speaker 15: American Humane in supporting our heroic working dogs and all
• 10:52
  Speaker 15: the amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go

  Speaker 16: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 17: Oh, yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 11: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 18: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 19: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 12: Heart and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 11: Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 16: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
• 11:15
  Speaker 16: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
• 11:18
  Speaker 16: call me a ride. Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 17: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 20: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:23
  Speaker 20: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:28
  Speaker 9: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 9: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 9: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:39
  Speaker 9: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 9: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46

• 11:54
  Speaker 9: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:58
  Speaker 9: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:00
  Speaker 9: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read

  Speaker 21: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 21: going through changes things like withdrawing drinking more or increased
• 12:40
  Speaker 21: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern

• 13:15
  Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:19
  Speaker 13: See, that's where the argument for socialism and communism and
• 13:22
  Speaker 13: Marxism in general falls off the rail is then.
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: What do you do?
• 13:26
  Speaker 11: And I don't think 10 years after thought that through.
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: They just.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Thought it would be a great world where there were
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: no rich. There was a folk song about 10 years
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: after and how rich they had actually become by the
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: time they had written that song and how rich they
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: became off of writing and publishing that song. And I
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: guess that's the hypocrisy of it all. And one of
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: the superpowers of a Marxist is that they can come
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: in and pretend and appear to you like a shapeshifter
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: that they're out there trying to get the rich guy.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders doesn't want to get the rich guy. He
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: wants to get the middle class guy. And that way
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the middle class guy becomes a poor guy just like
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the other poor guys. The people who are poor at
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: the moment say, well, look at how many more of
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: us there are. And these are the middle class guys.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: They have a car and a house and a thing.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: So they, you know, he doesn't smell like, you know what?
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: He has running water. He's wealthy. And so when reporters,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: and there was a question asked about this at a
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: meeting I was in, and they said, how come Republicans...
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: don't do town halls as much as Democrats would demand
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: them to do. It's because you face questions like this
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: in town halls.
• 15:14
  Speaker 22: How do you define socialism personally, and why do you
• 15:16
  Speaker 22: think socialist candidates are popping up everywhere across the country?
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: And that's a setup. It's a setup question. J.D. Vance,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: I actually think, gave a good answer. I am flying
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: out of the commentariat because the commentariat based on J.D.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Vance's position or answer to the question, excerpted the following,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: and then we'll lead into it with something like this.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Let me pretend I'm one of... And it could be
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: a liberal or a conservative. It's a bipartisan movement right
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: now against J.D.
• 15:53
  Speaker 23: Vance.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: So pretend I'm one of these right-wing bloggers or left-wing bloggers. J.D.
• 16:02
  Speaker 22: Vance couldn't tell us what Marxism is.
• 16:06
  Speaker 11: You want to replace American workers with foreign workers?
• 16:11
  Speaker 22: He thinks socialism is boys playing girls' sports. Preceding is
• 16:17
  Speaker 22: paid for by Marco Rubio for president. I mean, ostensibly
• 16:21
  Speaker 22: it is, but that's not what J.D. Vance said to
• 16:25
  Speaker 22: the question. Now, first off, the question was.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Really, Why are democratic socialists becoming popular in the country?
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: And I have a better answer than J.D.
• 16:36
  Speaker 23: Does.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: You know, I guess.
• 16:40
  Speaker 19: It's honestly it's a hard term to define these days
• 16:43
  Speaker 19: because very often socialism.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: And by the way, when he said it's a hard
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: term to define, that's another one of those. The right
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: wingers are all lifting out this clip.
• 16:56
  Speaker 11: It's honestly, it's a hard term to define these.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: They cut it. Can you edit that so it ends
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: at define?
• 17:08
  Speaker 11: It's honestly, it's a hard term to define.
• 17:13
  Speaker 22: He doesn't know what kind of Republican is he? How
• 17:16
  Speaker 22: did Trump pick this goober Dan Quayle on steroids?
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: So the right-wingers and the left-wingers and the never-Trumpers are
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: all on J.D. Vance like the proverbial white on rice.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: But listen to what his whole point was about it.
• 17:35
  Speaker 19: Honestly, it's a hard term to define these days because
• 17:39
  Speaker 19: very often socialism, you know, classically you would think socialism
• 17:45
  Speaker 19: is about prioritizing workers.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Now, understand he's at this announcement that they're kicking Microsoft
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: out of the H-1B visa program because of fraud. And
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: aren't all the socialists, wasn't it the Nationalist Socialist Workers
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Party of Germany? I know we had an acronym for them.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: What was it? Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 18:10
  Speaker 17: Nazis.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: So it's about workers, right?
• 18:16
  Speaker 19: And yet, in reality, I guarantee that most of the
• 18:18
  Speaker 19: self-described socialists running across the United States of America are
• 18:21
  Speaker 19: going to howl about this announcement today, which is prioritizing
• 18:25
  Speaker 19: American workers over foreign workers.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: He's right, they were, but they also wanted to make
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: him look bad because they would tell you he didn't
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: know what socialism was.
• 18:36
  Speaker 11: So I don't know what the term means anymore.
• 18:39
  Speaker 19: I think in reality what it actually means in the
• 18:41
  Speaker 19: American context is that you want to replace American workers
• 18:44
  Speaker 19: with foreign workers, and you want boys to play in
• 18:46
  Speaker 19: girls' sports.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: In the current American context, tell me the Democrat socialist
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: in your neighborhood isn't running on something along that line.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Be honest. Look at me in the eyes. Come on.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: It's you and me here. We can be straight with
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: each other. Now, The reality is the reason democratic socialists
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: are running all over the country is because the economy
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: is still in a ditch. Because during COVID, and I
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: can't just blame COVID about it. So prior to the
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, we had a virus called
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: the Great Society impact the United States. And that particular
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: pandemic created all of these entitlement programs that we have
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: to fund now because we... wrote a law that says
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: it's an entitlement. And I don't want to unwrite that
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: law because I live in this block and they'll burn
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: my house down. Because when you use phrases like entitlement,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: people get the implication they're entitled to it. Is that crazy?
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: without ever vetting why they would be entitled to it. J.D.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Vance in his fullness and the fulsomeness of his answer continued.
• 20:23
  Speaker 19: That's what unites the socialists that I see running across
• 20:26
  Speaker 19: the United States of America today.
• 20:27
  Speaker 11: You know, it's funny.
• 20:29
  Speaker 19: Back in 2016, one of the most interesting things that
• 20:32
  Speaker 19: happened is when Bernie Sanders, then, of course, the leading
• 20:35
  Speaker 19: socialist in the United States of America, was asked.
• 20:38
  Speaker 11: About open borders. He gave an answer.
• 20:41
  Speaker 19: That sounded similar to Stephen Miller's, where he said, of
• 20:43
  Speaker 19: course we're not going to have open borders because that's
• 20:45
  Speaker 19: going to displace American workers. It is ironic that so
• 20:49
  Speaker 19: many of the self-described socialists running across this country, they
• 20:52
  Speaker 19: love the idea of replacing American workers with foreign workers,
• 20:56
  Speaker 19: which suggests to me it's really not about the working class.
• 20:58
  Speaker 11: It's about their hatred of native-born citizens.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: And like Ray asked, he said, didn't Vance go to Yale? Yes.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: At Yale, they teach you never use one word when
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: you could use 10. To answer your question, you're just
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: not trying. If you don't find a way to make
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: a one-word answer, at least a 10-word answer, you're not trying.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: But not horrible. And it isn't this hair off.
• 21:25
  Speaker 23: Oh, J.D.
• 21:26
  Speaker 22: Vance needs him. Trump needs to replace J.D. Vance right
• 21:29
  Speaker 22: now with a real conservative.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Like, I don't know, pick the real conservative of their choice.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: And it is being used as the October surprise to
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: try to break some Republicans away from midterm election votes
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: that they may already be casting. or considering casting in
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: all of these battleground states.
• 22:01
  Speaker 17: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National Lead Trainer for Planet Fitness,
• 22:04
  Speaker 17: and the American Heart Association recommends that we all get
• 22:08
  Speaker 17: at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity in a
• 22:11
  Speaker 17: week's time. But here's the thing, that 150 minutes does
• 22:15
  Speaker 17: not need to be super intense. As a matter of fact,
• 22:17
  Speaker 17: it could just be you moving your body and doing
• 22:19
  Speaker 17: what you already love.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: To do, like exercise.
• 22:22
  Speaker 17: And a stronger heart doesn't just mean cardio, right? It

  Speaker 24: For decades, America's offshore oil industry has relied on Port Fouchon, Louisiana.

  Speaker 12: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 12: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 12: I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 24:18
  Speaker 12: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 24:22
  Speaker 12: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 24:26
  Speaker 12: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 24:31
  Speaker 12: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 24:36
  Speaker 12: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer,
• 24:43
  Speaker 12: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
• 24:45
  Speaker 12: many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy

• 26:08
  Speaker 16: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
• 26:11
  Speaker 16: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
• 26:14
  Speaker 16: call me a ride. Love that guy.
• 26:16
  Speaker 17: Me too.
• 26:16

  Speaker 9: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 26:30
  Speaker 9: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 9: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:36
  Speaker 9: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 26:40
  Speaker 9: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.

• 26:49
  Speaker 9: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 26:53
  Speaker 9: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 26:55
  Speaker 9: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 26:58
  Speaker 9: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 27:02
  Speaker 9: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 27:05
  Speaker 9: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.

• 28:18
  Speaker 3: I want to send word out to our.
• 28:27
  Speaker 11: Friends wherever you are.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: There will be media people that will be down this weekend.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: They were really counting, and when desperation hits, it is
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: a dangerous time. So a lot of people were counting
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: on this weekend to make the case on intergalactic climate
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: change and bring that back to the fray because they've
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: lost all their money. So the levee didn't break. It
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: rained a lot, and it's still raining a lot. It's
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: coming earlier. It went west, so it's hitting Nashville. Blessings
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: for our friends in Chattanooga and places where, yeah, it
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: got tons of rain, but not the kind that they
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: were bracing for, not Helene kinds. A lot of rain,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: but it's been a dry summer anyway, so hopefully this
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: fills some water table as well. It looks like though
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: profound amounts of power outages, the crews are from states
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: far and wide already in the panhandle of Florida and
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Pascagoula and Gulf Shores and places like that, getting the
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: power back on. So, you know, by the time Georgia
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: plays Alabama, you should be able to find someplace that
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: has electricity. Drive around, drive around. Hold on, I hear
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: a generator somewhere. Maybe they have a game on. Well,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: you know, now that it is the angst of we
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: don't know what it's going to do goes by, you've
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: got to understand that that's the reaction of people. Here
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: in Charlottesville, where the show is flagshipged from... Of course,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Thomas Jefferson is the thing. So when somebody said, hey,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: do you want to talk to this author, John Adams? Like, yeah, right,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: because there are lots of folks, and we've had them
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: on here. Steve Edinburgh is a terrific Thomas Jefferson interpreter
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: that will come to your business and actually debate you.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: We interviewed him here on the program because he does
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: a great job of knowing Jefferson, knowing the material and
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: being able to. answer questions, and some would say even
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: better than J.D. Vance there, but I don't like piling on.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: But talking with John Adams, and of course, the first
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: question I had to ask him is if he was
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: any actual relation to the other John Adams.
• 31:08
  Speaker 8: No, we did the Ancestry.com and no relation, although I
• 31:14
  Speaker 8: get upgrades at hotels in Boston, so I'll take that
• 31:17
  Speaker 8: as a win.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, don't say Ancestry.com or anything about DNA around Monticello.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: these days. Unless you want to fight, that's a different matter.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: That's a personal choice there. Let's talk about the new
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: book that just came out. The premise of it, it's
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: a new political thriller. I know that you are into
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: a very busy period of I'm sure, more political thrillers.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: I think the news today is setting the scene for
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: political thrillers all around. Tell us about yours and what
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: inspired you to write it in the first place.
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: Oh, thank you. Well, the idea came from my three daughters,
• 32:08
  Speaker 8: who are now grown. They grew up with me being
• 32:10
  Speaker 8: an investment banker during the day, but my passion was
• 32:13
  Speaker 8: to be the youth pastor at our church as they
• 32:16
  Speaker 8: were growing up. And I would I would try to
• 32:18
  Speaker 8: take the wisdom of the great books and translate that
• 32:21
  Speaker 8: into games and stories the teenagers could understand. So a
• 32:25
  Speaker 8: couple of years ago, I'm with my daughters who are
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: by now mid-20s, and we had a dinner where they
• 32:32
  Speaker 8: wanted to create their ideal world, how the world ought
• 32:36
  Speaker 8: to be, pretty different from how it is. And when
• 32:39
  Speaker 8: we got to the end of that discussion, they said, Dad,
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: you should write a book. You should do Plato's Republic,
• 32:44
  Speaker 8: but make it into an action movie. And so I
• 32:48
  Speaker 8: spent the last two years, and that's what I did.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: So that's an interesting concept, but I'm keen on, because
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: I talk to folks who are faithful people, and they're
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: loyal and devout members of their church, and they just,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: the role of the minister to take what's going on
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: today and make it applicable to a sermon that is really,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: I love to watch it done with great craft because
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: it reminds me of what I do every morning, certainly
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: to a lower import, to take the news of the day,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: bring it to some person who's just trying to get
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: started in the morning, get their day started and make
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: sense of it all. So I think you might be
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: uniquely qualified to do that to Plato's Republic.
• 33:44
  Speaker 8: Well, you know the Malcolm Gladwell thesis that you have
• 33:49
  Speaker 8: to spend 10,000 hours to become expert at something. And
• 33:53
  Speaker 8: in a strange way, I've spent my 10,000 hours reading
• 33:58
  Speaker 8: the news, reading politics as I'm working on M &
• 34:00
  Speaker 8: A deals around the world while I'm trying to translate
• 34:03
  Speaker 8: the great books into something that's easy to understand. So
• 34:07
  Speaker 8: I put my 10,000 hours in doing that, and I
• 34:11
  Speaker 8: use that skill, I think, a bit in writing the books.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Where do people find the book online? Is it just
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: best to go to Amazon, or do you have a
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: publisher's website?
• 34:22
  Speaker 8: Well, Amazon is great, and there's an audio version as
• 34:25
  Speaker 8: well that came out yesterday, any of the major bookstores.
• 34:31
  Speaker 8: But I would encourage everyone to go to my website,
• 34:33
  Speaker 8: which is thethirdphasenovel.com, because I've done a companion guide that's
• 34:39
  Speaker 8: quite extensive. It's 130 pages. The first part of the
• 34:42
  Speaker 8: standard– open-ended book club questions, but the bulk of it
• 34:47
  Speaker 8: is really a textbook and a guide through the symbolism
• 34:52
  Speaker 8: and the underlying meaning of the work and how this
• 34:56
  Speaker 8: book really does interact with both Plato's Republic and Augustine's Confessions.
• 35:00
  Speaker 8: You mentioned faith, and the real secret is that the
• 35:03
  Speaker 8: book is as much about Augustine's Confessions and his answers
• 35:06
  Speaker 8: to Plato as as anything else. So I'd encourage people
• 35:09
  Speaker 8: to go to the website, thethirdphasenovel.com, and get the companion guide.
• 35:13
  Speaker 8: It's free.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: It's free.
• 35:14
  Speaker 8: It's a free download.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: Well, you've already made the first mistake of publishing, John.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: John C. Adams is on with us, thethirdphasenovel.com. One of
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: the reasons I was compelled by what you did is
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: one of the things that dogs me as I lay
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: out the stories before my listeners is And I want
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: your opinion on my feeling about this. And it gets
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: me up every morning because we've seen this cycle before
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: in human history. You know, the liberty becomes apathy, becomes tyranny.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: And there's obviously steps in between, but we've seen this
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: cycle several times. And my feeling is, and this is
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: what drives me, is that with our technology and our
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: ability to communicate and our ability to share stories, we
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: might have the first unique opportunity to stop the cycle,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: to avoid the inevitable fall to tyranny before it costs
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of people's lives to win liberty back.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Do you share that thought?
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh.
• 36:20
  Speaker 8: I cannot believe you just said that. You must have
• 36:24
  Speaker 8: somehow read my book.
• 36:26
  Speaker 23: I mean, seriously.
• 36:27
  Speaker 8: I know, I know. But the thesis.
• 36:30
  Speaker 8: In the political arc, the thesis is that we can
• 36:33
  Speaker 8: use technology to actually finally become much more democratic than
• 36:38
  Speaker 8: we are because right now we have a system that
• 36:41
  Speaker 8: is driven by parties and the lobbying complex, and they
• 36:44
  Speaker 8: have a vice grip on our society. And we can
• 36:47
  Speaker 8: use technology to, A, inform people better, which Socrates would love,
• 36:51
  Speaker 8: and actually the people can have sovereignty finally because of technology.
• 36:56
  Speaker 8: So you completely nailed it, absolutely nailed it.

  Speaker 1: John C. Adams in the book is the third phase,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: and I've got a copy of it. I haven't had
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: a chance to read it since we chatted with him. But,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: you know, by far, if I do nothing before you,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: it's exposed my shallowness, you know, when a guy says it.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: But it's an idea that I think everyone needs to
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: chew on, the idea that if we use our technology
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: to communicate, then, you know, We share the ideas of
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: what's going on, and we don't need the centralized government.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: It was the idea that our country was based on. And,
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: pardon me, that with the ability to communicate with our
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: First Amendment guaranteed right to communicate, this is why you see...
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: The misuse of flock cameras and the surveillance of your
• 37:58

  Speaker 16: life-saving service as the world's leading non-profit organization focused on
• 38:09
  Speaker 16: heart and brain health. Heart disease still kills more people
• 38:13
  Speaker 16: in the United States each year than all types of
• 38:15
  Speaker 16: cancer combined, but more than half of Americans are unaware
• 38:18
  Speaker 16: of this fact. According to a recent Harris Poll survey
• 38:21
  Speaker 16: conducted for the American Heart Association, However, the majority of
• 38:25
  Speaker 16: heart disease is preventable. New research has improved the prevention, diagnosis,
• 38:30
  Speaker 16: and treatment of heart disease and its risk factors. Efforts
• 38:33
  Speaker 16: led by the American Heart Association have reduced deaths from
• 38:36
  Speaker 16: heart disease by half over the past century and helped
• 38:39

  Speaker 28: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 40:05
  Speaker 28: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
• 40:09
  Speaker 28: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.

  Speaker 5: Yes!

  Speaker 28: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: Shh.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: Do you smell that?

  Speaker 28: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is goodwill.

  Speaker 25: Exercise is hard, so is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 25: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 25: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 25: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 25: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 25: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 25: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 25: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 25: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 25: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.

  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Got this email that I think is appropriate in our
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: discussion of J.D.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: Vance's socialism.
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: Barry Vance.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: Was triggered by a thought and the fact that he,
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: over the past six months, have been listening to the program.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: He said, socialism requires us to hate the U.S. dollar,
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: much in the same way I listen to socialists talk
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: about money the way I hear, well, the socialists talk
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: about guns and all other things that can create liberty
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: for a person and not require them to tethered themselves
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: to some outside influence. Is this part of the problem
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: with Marxism? Is it requires you to vilify the very
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: thing that you can use to liberate yourself?
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: Of course.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, you have to deal the self-loathing, Barry, is
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: that the hatred of.
• 45:24
  Speaker 11: Money is easy to.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: Feed to somebody who feels like they don't have enough money.
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: And when you're trying to pay your electric bill and
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: you're trying to put gas in your car and you're thinking,
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: I need to replace the car or I'm afraid I
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: need to replace my water heater or whatever it may be,
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: or is my rent going up or my car insurance
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: going up? All those things lead you to look at
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: the dollar as your enemies. not the person who has
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: debased the dollar, who has diluted the dollar, who has
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: made the dollar valueless. But yes, a dollar, very much
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: like a firearm or a computer, is an inanimate object
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: until a human does something with its intent. Lots of
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: dollars do lots of amazing things every day. Kareem is
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: on the phone with us. Kareem, we were talking about
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: you earlier. I was wondering, how much diesel fuel you
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: go through in a week, and if this Vladimir Putin
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: gift to the United States is going to make a
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: splash in your world as you see it. How are
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: you doing this morning?
• 46:39
  Speaker 23: I'm doing well.
• 46:40
  Speaker 29: I'm sitting under overcast skies waiting for the rain to come.
• 46:43
  Speaker 29: So I'm trying to do what I can.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: It's not going to be as big as they warned you.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, I could make some crass joke about inches
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: and never mind. But so how much fuel do you
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: burn through in a week trucking around? It seems like
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: the Mid-Atlantic into the Midwest.
• 47:03
  Speaker 23: That is usually my stopping rounds.
• 47:06
  Speaker 29: There's a program that certain fuel truck stops, you get
• 47:13
  Speaker 29: points for how many you get up in a month.
• 47:16
  Speaker 29: And I think that's how I keep track of where
• 47:18
  Speaker 29: I do. Last month, I used about 1,400 gallons.
• 47:22
  Speaker 11: Oh, wow.
• 47:23
  Speaker 23: Okay.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: Yes. So we were trying to figure out how much
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: this gift is. So the statistics come in different flavors.
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: So according to research by the energy department, The United
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: States uses 3.8 million barrels of diesel fuel, but that
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: didn't help me because, you know, for some reason I
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: decided I wanted to find how many gallons of diesel fuel.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: So 280 gallons of diesel fuel come from each ton of,
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: you know, raw. And then so each ton of raw
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: fuel creates about eight, maybe just under eight, barrels, one
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: metric ton of diesel makes eight barrels. So if I'm
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: thinking about this right, and eight barrels from each ton
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: and 1.5 million, yeah, we're talking about like five days
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: supply of diesel fuel the way the U.S. goes through it.
• 48:36
  Speaker 23: Yes, sir. And getting that diesel fuel here.
• 48:39
  Speaker 29: So I don't and if we make enough to cover
• 48:42
  Speaker 29: our own, I don't know if that diesel fuel is
• 48:46
  Speaker 29: strictly for us. That may be for our allies who
• 48:49
  Speaker 29: are closer to that portion of the world who are
• 48:51
  Speaker 29: not on such good.
• 48:53
  Speaker 23: Terms with Russia.
• 48:54
  Speaker 29: Russia for a while did say that they were going
• 48:56
  Speaker 29: to stop exports of diesel fuel, which on occasion they
• 48:59
  Speaker 29: do during their harvesting season. And they've had a fantastic
• 49:02
  Speaker 29: crop yield. So I guess it would be nice if
• 49:07
  Speaker 29: we had all this excess diesel coming to us, but
• 49:09
  Speaker 29: it may be a bit more nuanced. But I do
• 49:11
  Speaker 29: like your math. And forget the naysayers. I think it's
• 49:15
  Speaker 29: important that you do math on there just so that
• 49:17
  Speaker 29: you're showing people what the work you're doing is being transparent.
• 49:20
  Speaker 23: So I applaud you for.
• 49:21
  Speaker 5: That, Joe.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, you're not the first person to say that.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: So we played that clip from the Babylon Bee and
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: Janice texted me and she said, I heard that clip
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: three days ago and the radio host portrayed it as theirs.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: And that's unfortunately what happens. You know, maybe that, you know,
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: some lawyer from the Babylon Bee, because they have them,
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: they have to, might be calling that person saying, you
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: need to make it clear that that was not your production.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: I gain nothing from pretending that these things are original
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: to me, mostly because I don't want the stuff that
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: is originally mine to then fall under the scrutiny of, well,
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: the other stuff was BS. Because we see this in
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: our town squares all the time. Some some puffed-up windbag
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: tells you, I've done this, that, and the other thing,
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: and as soon as it's turned out that they didn't,
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: everything else that they've done becomes circumspect.
• 50:22
  Speaker 29: Joe, before I take the— in the call and give you
• 50:25
  Speaker 29: the last few minutes, you don't know how pressing that
• 50:27
  Speaker 29: statement is. For Zelensky— to strike the diesel ports in
• 50:34
  Speaker 29: Russia or for any place in Russia.
• 50:37
  Speaker 23: It's not that Ukraine has this fantastic technology.
• 50:40
  Speaker 29: Ukraine is allowed and told where they can hit, how
• 50:44
  Speaker 29: they can hit, because they're not putting the numbers in themselves.
• 50:47
  Speaker 29: That's kind of why the Colonel Attaché of Russia handed
• 50:51
  Speaker 29: over those drone memory cards, data cards, to the American
• 50:57
  Speaker 29: Attaché When Putin was holding for a phone call with Trump, 90,
• 51:03
  Speaker 29: almost 100 drones were sent to his Valdai Palace while
• 51:07
  Speaker 29: he was waiting for a phone call. None of them
• 51:09
  Speaker 29: made it, thankfully, because if Putin has, he's got a
• 51:13
  Speaker 29: level head and shoulders.
• 51:13
  Speaker 23: As much as we've been lying to him, he is
• 51:16
  Speaker 23: patient and he is careful.
• 51:17
  Speaker 29: So Trump made the deal, but somebody in the government,
• 51:23
  Speaker 29: maybe the Five Eyes, is undermining him.
• 51:24
  Speaker 23: Anyway, Joe, thanks for taking my call. Have a great weekend.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: No problem, Kareem. Thank you, sir. And we talked about
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: this in regard to Iran earlier.
• 51:35
  Speaker 23: In the week.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: There are wars that need to be fought and there
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: are wars that don't need to be fought. And you
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: can't be all or nothing. You can't be a neocon
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: and say, yes, yes, yes, spend more technology, we'll build more.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: One of the greatest booms in human technology happened when
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: the president of the United States slashed the defense budget.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: Did you know that? When the Soviet Union fell apart and, quote,
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: the wall fell, George H.W. Bush announced it was a
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: primetime press conference. You know, he said, Oval Office, I'm
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: cutting the defense budget. Our enemy has been vanquished. It's
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: time for us to stand down. And I watched the
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: Grumman base in Calverton, Long Island. We were friends on RCN.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: Our studios were probably a mile from there getting closed down.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: But the Internet and all this, the computer technology and
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: the phone in your pocket all came from that closure. Anyway,
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: until next weekend for many, until Monday for others, so
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: long and thanks for all the fish.
• 52:51
  Speaker 16: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
• 52:53
  Speaker 16: compression of spinal nerves, according to Dr. Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
• 52:57
  Speaker 16: California-based chiropractor with more than 30 years of experience. This
• 53:01
  Speaker 16: compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury, or
• 53:05
  Speaker 16: simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
• 53:09
  Speaker 16: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
• 53:12
  Speaker 16: the neck and back, Dr. Fisher explains. His inventions, the
• 53:16
  Speaker 16: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device,
• 53:20
  Speaker 16: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
• 53:24
  Speaker 16: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are
• 53:27
  Speaker 16: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
• 53:30
  Speaker 16: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
• 53:33
  Speaker 16: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
• 53:36
  Speaker 16: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home,
• 53:38
  Speaker 16: and Dr. Fisher's series of YouTube videos provides helpful videos
• 53:42
