  Speaker 2: Attracting attention to yourself!
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 0:13
  Speaker 4: Joe works at a steel mill.
• 0:15
  Speaker 5: He's damn near every day.
• 0:17
  Speaker 6: That is the name of this job.
• 0:18
  Speaker 5: He's for work when the sun comes up.
• 0:20
  Speaker 6: Drops a kid to school and all the work. Joe
• 0:24
  Speaker 6: has everything he dreamed of.
• 0:26
  Speaker 7: All the treasures that he needs.
• 0:28
  Speaker 6: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:42
  Speaker 5: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: this morning and every morning here at 434-882-4217. That's the
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: business end of our multitasker where you can text message
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: or in the traditional manner, make a phone call if
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: you have time this morning. On the news of the day.
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: And we'll lay out for you what we saw. And
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: I want to hear how it's impacting you. Because you're
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: the most important local aspect of the radio station. And
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: I don't know if anyone's ever told you that or not.
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: And if they have, good on them. So whatever it's
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: doing to you, let us know there. It's Charlie up
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: in Fairbanks. talking about speech and communications and the equivocation
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: and how, you know, and sometimes Charlie, one of the things,
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: and not to defend, you know, anyone who does talk radio,
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: but the bosses of such, because we all want to
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: build a career. And I know I'm at the point
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: in my career where I can look back at all
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: the instances where I gave too much of a poop
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: and flew someone else's plane. Did it in Hyannis, beautiful
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: area with great listeners who did amazing stuff at my request.
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: But I allowed somebody to tell me how to do
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: what I knew how to do because because I was young.
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: And I took somebody's brow beatings to heart and just
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: wanted to survive at that point. One of the points
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: of order when we talk about Labor Day. And so
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: often people will be told, you're a local host and
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: you can only talk about local things. We used to
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: have this in Buffalo. Buffalo's newspaper would only publish a
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: story if the reporter could find someone in Buffalo that
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: they could interview that was impacted by it. Even September 11th.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: I'm thinking about 25 years ago, the Buffalo News was
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: full of stories about September 11th, but only if they
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: could bring in some local official or local fundraiser or
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: local person who had a family member in the World
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: Trade Center. It was crazy making. But anyway, let's get
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: on to our first things this morning. Charlie, I appreciate
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: you out there. in Fairbanks. And we'll talk about whatever.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: I mean, the Senate race is nutty enough there. And
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: that's a national story. So you got to be careful
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: when your local stories become national stories, because usually that's
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: not a good sign. President Trump said as he arrived
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: back from Ireland after setting off a car bomb there,
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: saying that he believed that Northern Ireland should be released
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: from British control and allowed to rejoin the rest of Ireland.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: said also he is going to look into releasing whatever
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: he has on the Saudi Arabian government's involvement in September 11th,
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: 25 years ago. Fifteen of the 19 hijackers were Saudis.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: Osama bin Laden was the son of a famous and
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: wealthy Saudi construction company. I'll look into it when I
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: get back, he said as he boarded Air Force One.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: I know they asked me on Friday. AI, AI, AIO.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: The CEO of Anthropic, Dario Amodai, said in San Francisco
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: over the weekend that a swarm of AI agents would
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: be able to take over the Internet in six months
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: unless companies devoted more time to putting safeguards in place.
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: Of course, everyone then went to the government saying, what
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: are you going to do? And that's not what Imodai said. Sunday, U.S.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: District Judge Carl Nichols added his name to a list
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: of judges that said the administration cannot enforce its executive
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: order stopping the U.S. Postal Service from sending mail-in ballots
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: to states that had not verified their voter rolls. Supreme
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: Court is scheduled to hear arguments in the Massachusetts Supreme.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Stay.
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: The Environmental Protection Agency is about to repeal carbon pollution
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: standards for coal and gas-fired power plants. Let me repeat that.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: The Environmental Protection Agency is poised to repeal carbon pollution
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: standards for coal and gas-fired power plants. Nobody's asking the question,
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: but when can we start reopening them? And China is
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: Yet more news outlets are now reporting China has been
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: pouring billions of dollars to influence campaigns against data centers
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: here in the United States. That one Newsmax has picked
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: up the story. I mentioned Sealy and CBD. Of course,
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: Sealy owns the Mesa Verde Hemp Farm. And I'm telling
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: you right now, this weekend, and this is dumb Joe
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: story number one. I hadn't realized, and maybe I just did,
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: I read it and I just skimmed past it, that
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: there's a topical application to the CBD oil as well.
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: My wife has been suffering a back issue since she
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: was caring for her mom, her 100-year-old mother, and they
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: both fell in the bathroom. My wife took the brunt
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: of the fall, and her back has been hurting in
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: a couple of spots ever since. And I realized, I'm like, oh.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: I love the smell of face palm in the morning.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: So I started putting the CBD oil from MesaVerdeHemp.com on
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: her back where it hurts. And she's just, she's like,
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: I can't believe how good this is.

• 8:08
  Speaker 9: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric

• 9:37
  Speaker 11: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the

• 15:27
  Speaker 5: on December 16th. James Luck is on the phone with
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: us from the aforementioned JCS Gold. James, happy Monday. How
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: are you doing, sir? I'm doing well, Joe.
• 15:38
  Speaker 18: Happy Monday to you, too. And gold and silver are
• 15:40
  Speaker 18: on quite the discount this morning. Gold is down about 1.5%,
• 15:44
  Speaker 18: down $ 62 to $ 4, 286. Same story for silver down two
• 15:53
  Speaker 18: and a half percent to sixty two dollars and seventy
• 15:55
  Speaker 18: two cents. So on sale this morning, this Monday morning,
• 16:01
  Speaker 18: I haven't checked the back end of the website, but
• 16:03
  Speaker 18: I'm sure that.
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: Our clients have been taking advantage of these discounts. You know,
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: if only gasoline went up and down like this in price,
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: you know, when the price of crude comes down, you know,
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: it would be really, really keen. It was doing that
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: for a while, and I guess it does to a degree.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: I just don't think to everyone's satisfaction. So it sounds
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: like it's going to be a busy Monday for James
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: packing up orders to send out because this is a
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: family business. This is not a call center, and James
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: is just the guy in the corner office. Sure, he
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: has a corner office, but he has to get out
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: on the counter as well and pack boxes for those
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: who have ordered gold and silver through jcsgold.com. But as
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: I always say, don't just order it because you like
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: me and I say so. The only thing I tell
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: you to do is go to jcsgold.com and talk to
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: these folks. Email them. Call them after 10 Eastern at
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: 434- nine seven nine coin. But I imagine you guys
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: are going to be busy this morning, James. Absolutely. And
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: most Mondays are.
• 17:09
  Speaker 18: And that's what we tell our clients is not to
• 17:11
  Speaker 18: play the price roller coaster of the ups and downs,
• 17:14
  Speaker 18: but just to buy on your, you know, set time frame,
• 17:19
  Speaker 18: whether that's every two weeks, once a month, once a quarter.
• 17:23
  Speaker 18: But you continue to stack gold and silver to build
• 17:25
  Speaker 18: your portfolio as part of your investment picture.
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: And of course, when the price comes down, that makes
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: it easier. Even I know that. If Joe knows that,
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: that's saying something. Well, you have a wonderful Monday morning, James,
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: and thank you for everything. Absolutely. Thank you, Joe. 434-882-4217
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: is our phone number, and you can weigh in on
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: the news of the day. Just run it down, basically.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: We've chopped up a few things earlier, like our international
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: entanglements in Saudi Arabia and Ireland and places like that.
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: Eddie is on the line with us. Good morning, Eddie.
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: Thank you for joining us first thing this morning. What's
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: on your mind?
• 18:07
  Speaker 19: Good morning, Joe. As you know, early voting starts Friday
• 18:11
  Speaker 19: here in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: Can you imagine? I mean, it's September 18th, and we're
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: going to be voting in the midterms already.
• 18:22
  Speaker 19: Well, that's just the way it is these days. I'm
• 18:26
  Speaker 19: a traditionalist. I like election day.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: Well, you know, and there's a real, you know, and people, oh, well,
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: your vote suppression, it's been the opposite. Every year we've
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: made it easier and easier to vote early and fewer
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: and fewer people vote. So you tell me which is
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: vote suppression.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: I agree with you.
• 18:46
  Speaker 19: But the purpose of my call, I'd like to, and this,
• 18:51
  Speaker 19: you know, can appeal to your nationwide listeners too, but
• 18:55
  Speaker 19: specifically here in Virginia, if everybody would just Google the
• 18:59
  Speaker 19: local municipality and bring up a sample ballot and look
• 19:04
  Speaker 19: at it and be informed before you vote. That's what
• 19:09
  Speaker 19: I usually do. And on this specific Commonwealth of Virginia ballot,
• 19:13
  Speaker 19: we've got three proposed constitutional amendments plus a sales tax question.
• 19:20
  Speaker 19: I hope you'll have time in the next month or
• 19:22
  Speaker 19: so to look at these three proposed amendments and the
• 19:26
  Speaker 19: sales tax question. And kind of tear it down, look
• 19:30
  Speaker 19: at the pros and cons, look at the gotchas.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: It's all gotcha. It's all con and all gotcha. And
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: there's very little pro, except that it helps the leftists
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: kill more babies there and perhaps arrest caterers for not
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: doing a particular kind of wedding. It's bad. I know
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: that friends of mine have, especially when it comes to
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: the gay marriage constitutional amendment, have said, oh, well, we
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: got a promise from the Democrat that promoted the bill.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: I said, really? A promise from a Democrat?
• 20:04
  Speaker 18: Gee.
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: That carries a lot of weight with me. And I'm sorry,
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: I don't have to be politically nice to anyone. They lie.
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: And then, you know, when lying fails, they lie again.
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: And when all else fails, they lie a third time.
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: And I just don't trust them as far as I
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: can throw them and the car they drove in on.
• 20:24
  Speaker 19: Well, you remember back in April, there was a question
• 20:26
  Speaker 19: about the wording for the referendum to, you know, suspend
• 20:31
  Speaker 19: the constitution until we vote you know this.
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: Until we win right until we win we're going to
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: suspend the constitution um you know they're doing it again
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: they're doing it yeah instead of fact checking i thought
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: i'd just come to you with these three proposed amendments
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: and and get your take on it but finally joe
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: uh this sales tax Virginia is going to let the
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: municipalities impose a 1% sales tax for the construction or
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: renovation of schools. Now, I might be old and I
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: might be wrong, but it seems to me almost 50
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: years ago, we started the Virginia lottery to, you.
• 21:13
  Speaker 19: Know, add funds to, you know, any kind of educational
• 21:17
  Speaker 19: endeavors in the state of Virginia.
• 21:18
  Speaker 9: How did that work out?
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: Well, you know, and they'll tell you, oh, well, it's
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: not as much money as you think it is. But
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: I point out in actually the last column, no, the
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: second to last column I published in our state news
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: network at DailySignal.com, how much money Virginia has in its
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: budget and how and why do they need to push
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: off one percent sales tax on the local governments when
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: they already have billions of dollars every year coming into
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: their coffers? That's the part that bothers me the most
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: is there. is they're wasting the money we've already given them,
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: just like the old taxed enough already campaigns. Hey, I'm Brant,
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: and her name is Sherry.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 22:04
  Speaker 20: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
• 22:07
  Speaker 20: for because of a surgery she just went through.
• 22:09
  Speaker 21: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
• 22:12
  Speaker 21: talk about all the time, which is?
• 22:13
  Speaker 20: MediShare.
• 22:14
  Speaker 21: That is right.
• 22:14
  Speaker 20: Yeah, so what was your experience like with MediShare and
• 22:18
  Speaker 20: the healthcare bill?
• 22:18
  Speaker 21: Honestly, Brant, seamless, and what a blessing that is. When
• 22:21
  Speaker 21: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was,
• 22:24
  Speaker 21: members shared my expenses, there were zero problems, and let
• 22:27
  Speaker 21: me tell you, Having people pray with you when you
• 22:31
  Speaker 21: call in with your need, that is just.
• 22:33
  Speaker 22: It is refreshing.
• 22:34
  Speaker 21: Yes, that's what it is.
• 22:35
  Speaker 20: But I keep telling people, people love MediShare and they
• 22:38
  Speaker 20: love saving money. A typical family can save $ 500 a month.
• 22:42
  Speaker 21: I am very thankful for MediShare. It is so different.
• 22:46
  Speaker 21: And I mean different in a very, very good way.
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: It is good different. Call now.

  Speaker 4: Hi, I'm Dr. Michael Bailey, president of the American Veterinary
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: Medical Association. Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: veterinarians deliver better care for pets. From AI-assisted radiographs that
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: speed up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: supports veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: develop personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: on patients. But as with any new technology, always keep
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: health care. AI is a powerful tool, but not a
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: replacement for your veterinarian's expertise, compassion, and judgments. which remains
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: at the center of our profession. For more information on

  Speaker 3: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: We just talk about practice.
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: We sitting here I'm supposed to be the franchise player,
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: and we're in here talking about practice.
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: I mean, listen, we're talking about practice. I love the
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: emails this morning because apparently we've touched a nerve. because
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: we were talking about this AI issue. More and more
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: news media outlets have joined me on The Hill, and
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: I'm not going to claim that we broke the story.
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: It was first published in Politico, and then it was
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: picked up by The Hill, both online. I still think
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: The Hill does a print version. You can get it
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: for free at metro stations around D.C. But I was
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: the first radio program to give it air, the idea
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: that the CHICOMs are spending a fortune in convincing Americans
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: to shut down all the data centers in the United States.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: So the CHICOMs can have all the data centers. And
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: it's eerily, I mean, cut and paste almost, the same
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: way the Soviet Union funded the anti-war movement in the 60s.
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: So forgive me if there's not a tinge of, we've
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: been here before. in our coverage of it. But the
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: emails have just been great at jtinthemorningradio at gmail.com on this.
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: I like this one particularly. Sharon writes in, Joe, you
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: are making a false flag comparison to spots in our
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: Bill of Rights. We have a constitutional right to keep
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: guns and we have a constitutional right to privacy. If
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: you allow the data centers to continue to surveil us,
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: you're violating that right. Well, first off, you have a
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: constitutional right to keep and bear arms. President Trump talked
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: about Scotland. If I want to go get an actual
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: claymore from some metalsmith here in central Virginia and carry
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: it on my belt next to my sporran as I
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: walk down the street in my Crawford tartan, I have
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: a constitutionally protected right to bear that claymore. It's a really,
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: really big sword, by the way. Or a mine, yes,
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: or a landmine. So I have a constitutionally protected right.
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: And again, I don't want to be a nitpicker, but
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: the Constitution doesn't give you that right. The Constitution says...
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: the government shall not infringe that right. And it also
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: doesn't say the government cannot surveil or even search you.
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: It just puts in very clear language how that's supposed
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: to take place. So blaming technology, and she's picking up
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: on the fact that I said that I won't blame
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: data centers or flock cameras for surveillance any more than
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: I would blame guns for gun violence because it's about
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: the humans that use them for that cameras are cameras
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: they're everywhere you're going to ban cameras and maybe that's
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: the case because Mark writes in I want to ban
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: flock cameras your case that I want to ban guns
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: is just the same And we need to talk about
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: banning some of these guns because they're too devastating as
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: they are. And I appreciate you listening, Mark. I disagree
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: with you. Because the more we blame, I mean, it's
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: just like the voting thing we were just talking about
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: with Eddie. The easier we keep making it, whether it's
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: Alaska with its ranked choice voting or Virginia with its
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: dumbass 45-day window to vote, And then five more days
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: after that to collect votes. So, I mean, it's technically
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: 50 days and mail-in ballots that you don't have to
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: have a verification on it. You can just get them
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: because you say, hey, I want to mail in my ballot, please.
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: I'm scared of people because they're going to kill me
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: with their COVID. Pfizer out there pinging away with, artfully
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: done ads reminiscent of growing up in the 70s saying, hey,
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: you survived the 70s, but COVID is still out there.
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: This ad brought to you by Pfizer. The Constitution deals
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: with all of this. The Constitution reigns in flock cameras.
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: You need a warrant. Well, what if the city buys
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: the flock cameras? Still need a warrant. City buys police cars.
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: If somebody drives a police car into my driveway and
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: starts searching my house, is he going to say, well,
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: I own the police car that did it? If a
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: police officer sits across the street from my house in
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: a police car, just watching my house day after day
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: after day, I can go to a judge and say,
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: why is he watching my house? He's had no.
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: Stakeouts used to require some level of authority from on high.
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: Police can't just sit across from your house and watch you.
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: They do. And when they do, they need to be
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: punished severely and publicly so that the next batch know, hey,
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: if you do this, you're going to go down. So
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: a camera is just a camera. Make police officers have
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: to get a warrant for every instance that they look
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: at a flock camera. It's just like the balls and
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: strikes in Major League Baseball. A catcher and a team,
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: each team only has like two or three a game.
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: So you have to figure, do I use this or not?
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: It's like in the NFL yesterday, the commander is trying
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: to beat Philadelphia in Philadelphia. And they had to burn
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: timeouts when they shouldn't have. And so they got screwed
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: at the end. They didn't have enough timeouts because they
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: burned them up. But you know what? Make police officers
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: go in front of a judge and say, yeah, I
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: want to take a look at this flock camera for this.
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: It's what the Constitution mandates. And I think we all
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: agree that the Bill of Rights is the holiest of holies,
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: a list of things the government shall not infringe on
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: and shall never do. It's a list of don'ts. And
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: we can work this through. The technology is woven into
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: the fabric of the Constitution because they left it open-ended.
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: They didn't say you have a right to keep and
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: bear guns or rifles or muskets. They said arms. So
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: if we invent phasers or lightsabers, we have a constitutional
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: right to keep and bear them as well. Just as
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: much as I have a right to have a ring
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: camera on my door and the police can come and
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: ask me to look at it, but they need to
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: show me a warrant first. And if I get arrested
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: because I asked for a warrant, I've got six constitutional
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: defense attorneys on speed dial ready to take my case.
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: We have to do it the way the Constitution mandates it. Otherwise,
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: we're just doing what Barack Obama and the rest of
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: the country changers want to do. Let me get to
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: you at 434-882-4217. Good morning. You're on the air with
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: Joe first thing this morning. Who's this?
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Joe.
• 36:57
  Speaker 24: It's Joel.
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: Morning, Joel. Let me read Scott's text. Do you have
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: any doubt about who's been funding the Green Agenda? Well, yeah, Bloomberg.
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: We'll get into that in a little bit. But what's
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: on your mind, sir?
• 37:11
  Speaker 24: Well, everybody, not everybody, but a lot of people are
• 37:17
  Speaker 24: afraid of things, but. you look at technology, right? And
• 37:22
  Speaker 24: it's either, either we start learning about the technology and
• 37:27
  Speaker 24: using it or the technology is going to catch up
• 37:29
  Speaker 24: with us because it's going to be incorporated into products.
• 37:33
  Speaker 24: It's going to be incorporated into other things. And, and
• 37:37
  Speaker 24: I remember back when I was growing up in the,
• 37:40
  Speaker 24: in the seventies, cause I was born in 62 and
• 37:44
  Speaker 24: happy birthday, later birthday to you too.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 37:47
  Speaker 24: But, but you know, I remember with the space program, right,
• 37:51
  Speaker 24: the calculators came out. All these people said, oh, when
• 37:55
  Speaker 24: they start using the calculator, things are going to go wrong.
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: You know, I had that. That was the big debate
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: in my school.
• 38:01
  Speaker 20: Life can change so fast. Abruptly, just ask Paul. He's
• 38:05
  Speaker 20: a hardworking entrepreneur.
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: He's young.
• 38:07
  Speaker 20: He's got a young family. Suddenly, though, he develops a
• 38:10
  Speaker 20: rare medical condition where he lost the use of both
• 38:13
  Speaker 20: of his arms.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: I could no longer drive a car, couldn't use a computer,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: couldn't type, couldn't use a mouse. I could not hold
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: my son, who was about a month old.
• 38:20
  Speaker 20: Paul and his family were facing a mountain of medical bills,
• 38:23
  Speaker 20: but they're so thankful that they're members of MediShare.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: I think if someone asked me, like, hey, does MediShare
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: really work? I'm living proof that it works. My four
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: children are living proof that it works. My arms, which
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: have been healed, are living proof that MediShare works. Just
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: knowing the emotional peace of mind, knowing that our needs
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: are going to be taken care of when we have
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: some type of medical problem, that is such a huge
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: blessing to us.
• 38:47
  Speaker 20: It could be a huge blessing to you, too. People
• 38:50
  Speaker 20: save so much and love being part of MediShare.

  Speaker 9: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 39:08
  Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 39:13
  Speaker 9: I'm Dr.
• 39:14
  Speaker 16: Mitch.
• 39:15
  Speaker 9: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 39:21
  Speaker 9: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 39:25
  Speaker 9: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 39:29
  Speaker 9: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 39:33
  Speaker 9: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 39:40
  Speaker 9: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or at
• 39:44
  Speaker 9: least slow the spread of cancer and and in many instances,
• 39:48
  Speaker 9: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 39:53
  Speaker 9: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
• 39:58
  Speaker 9: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.

  Speaker 25: Hi everybody, I'm Jack Hanna.
• 41:01
  Speaker 27: Since I was a boy growing up on a farm
• 41:02
  Speaker 27: in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only
• 41:05
  Speaker 27: in awe of their beauty and kindness, but also their
• 41:08
  Speaker 27: tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds who gather
• 41:10
  Speaker 27: supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes who work hard
• 41:14
  Speaker 27: to provide for their young, or penguins who travel up
• 41:16
  Speaker 27: to 500 miles to secure food for their families, or
• 41:19
  Speaker 27: bush babies whose impressive jump allows them to navigate the
• 41:22
  Speaker 27: trees and the wild in search of fruit. This remarkable
• 41:25
  Speaker 27: work ethic is.
• 41:26
  Speaker 25: Shared by our best friends, the canines.
• 41:28
  Speaker 27: We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home, but
• 41:31
  Speaker 27: because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving work
• 41:34
  Speaker 27: every day Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort
• 41:37
  Speaker 27: returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They work
• 41:40
  Speaker 27: with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in their
• 41:43
  Speaker 27: blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly trained
• 41:45
  Speaker 27: roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
• 41:48
  Speaker 27: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 41:51
  Speaker 27: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this

  Speaker 6: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 42:02
  Speaker 15: Oh, yeah?
• 42:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 42:05
  Speaker 14: And now a speech.
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 42:13
  Speaker 27: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: somebody call me a ride.
• 42:20
  Speaker 23: Love that guy.
• 42:21
  Speaker 10: Me too.
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 42:29
  Speaker 25: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 42:32
  Speaker 25: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 42:36
  Speaker 25: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 42:40
  Speaker 25: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 42:43
  Speaker 25: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 42:47
  Speaker 25: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 42:52
  Speaker 25: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 42:55
  Speaker 25: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 42:59
  Speaker 25: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 43:01
  Speaker 25: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 43:05
  Speaker 25: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 43:08
  Speaker 25: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 43:11
  Speaker 25: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 43:15
  Speaker 25: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

• 43:33
  Speaker 13: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 43:36
  Speaker 13: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 43:41

• 44:07
  Speaker 3: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:16
  Speaker 6: We just talk about practice.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: We sitting here, I'm supposed to be the franchise player,
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: and we in here talking about practice.
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: It was a good old days. I mean, listen, we
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: talking about practice.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: That was AI.
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: When you said AI, that's all you meant. It's pleasing
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: to know that President Trump gets it when it comes
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: to artificial intelligence, the CHICOMs. Hey, how much do you
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: think we would have ever learned about SARS-CoV-2 if China
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: had all the data centers there? Joel was on with us.
• 44:54
  Speaker 24: And but they understand the concepts of it and and
• 44:58
  Speaker 24: it doesn't mean that they're they're they're bad or they're
• 45:02
  Speaker 24: stupid but I think if you're going to have technology
• 45:05
  Speaker 24: then at least have the foundational concepts of how to
• 45:09
  Speaker 24: use it and why to use it and and and
• 45:13
  Speaker 24: all the resources the things you can gain because if
• 45:17
  Speaker 24: you don't if if we don't stay on top like
• 45:21
  Speaker 24: President Trump said, and I don't think he's saying that
• 45:23
  Speaker 24: out of fear. He's trying to fight these people that
• 45:26
  Speaker 24: are fearful. Then other countries are going to utilize it.
• 45:31
  Speaker 24: And I would rather have America be on top than
• 45:34
  Speaker 24: China or one of these.
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: Other authoritarian nations.
• 45:37
  Speaker 18: Amen.
• 45:38
  Speaker 5: Thank you for joining me on this hill, because I'd
• 45:41
  Speaker 5: rather have data centers in the United States where we
• 45:44
  Speaker 5: can apply the Bill of Rights to them than in China,
• 45:47
  Speaker 5: where good luck. They're going to do what they want
• 45:50
  Speaker 5: to do, and we've already seen it. This will save
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: them trillions of dollars in issue advertising because they've had
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: to spend all this money to try to make us
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: hate data centers in the United States. They won't even
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: have to do that for the next thing they want
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: to campaign for. They'll just manipulate the data flow into
• 46:12
  Speaker 5: our phones and are, because they're going to have all
• 46:17
  Speaker 5: the data centers there in China.
• 46:20
  Speaker 24: I remember when I was working in the ER at
• 46:22
  Speaker 24: UF Health in Jacksonville, and they kept sending me messages
• 46:27
  Speaker 24: on my phone and pictures and things, assignments I had
• 46:30
  Speaker 24: to do, but I had an old analog flip phone.
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: I loved it.
• 46:33
  Speaker 24: I mean, because you could get phone calls in elevators
• 46:36
  Speaker 24: and places, the digital, the digital phones wouldn't pick up.
• 46:41
  Speaker 24: I mean, it had a stupid intent on it and
• 46:44
  Speaker 24: You could drop it out in the Nikon battery. It
• 46:47
  Speaker 24: didn't even have lithium batteries in it. But then it's
• 46:51
  Speaker 24: not that I want to say I was forced to
• 46:53
  Speaker 24: do it, but okay, I'll contradict myself. Yeah, I was
• 46:56
  Speaker 24: forced to use it because people sent pictures. They sent
• 47:00
  Speaker 24: work products. And unfortunately, like I said, if you don't
• 47:04
  Speaker 24: keep up with it, you're going to get buried.
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: But this is what makes the Bill of Rights so
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: brilliant is that it took all of this into account.
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: It doesn't matter how you surveil somebody. It doesn't matter
• 47:17
  Speaker 5: what you're searching for. It didn't say you have to
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: get a warrant to search someone's house unless they have fentanyl.
• 47:27
  Speaker 5: Go to a judge. Say, I think there's a fentanyl
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: lab going on here. And the judge will say, prove
• 47:32
  Speaker 5: it to me. And the police officer will have to
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: prove it to you. And people will say, you're slagging
• 47:38
  Speaker 5: police officers. I'm not. Police officers don't want to be
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: the ones left hanging out there holding the bag for this.
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: They want to live up to the law. And they've
• 47:51
  Speaker 5: been abandoned by politicians time and time again who want
• 47:55
  Speaker 5: to get the quick hit on their Instagram feed of
• 48:00
  Speaker 5: them making some point from behind a podium that'll score
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: them a voter six. And it's just... We've burned so
• 48:08
  Speaker 5: much of our forest. We need to protect the rest
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: of what the Bill of Rights protects. Good morning. You're
• 48:14
  Speaker 5: on the air with Joe. First thing this morning. Who's this?
• 48:18
  Speaker 22: Hey, Joe.
• 48:18
  Speaker 19: It's Clark.
• 48:19
  Speaker 5: Morning, Clark. What's on your mind, sir?
• 48:22
  Speaker 16: Well, let's see.
• 48:23
  Speaker 22: Three things, I guess. Second Amendment. Every time we talk
• 48:26
  Speaker 22: about it, we need to talk about why the founders
• 48:31
  Speaker 22: put it in there. It's not so I can defend myself.
• 48:34
  Speaker 22: It's not so I can shoot squirrels for food. It's
• 48:38
  Speaker 22: right there in there, Joe, being necessary to the security
• 48:45
  Speaker 22: of a free state. That's the reason we have the
• 48:47
  Speaker 22: Second Amendment.
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 48:51
  Speaker 22: Anybody that has a problem with the Second Amendment has
• 48:54
  Speaker 22: a problem with us having a free state.
• 48:57
  Speaker 5: You know, it's interesting you say it that way, but
• 49:00
  Speaker 5: look at the people who have a problem with the
• 49:02
  Speaker 5: Second Amendment. And I think half of them just would
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: honestly say to you, yeah, have you met people? And
• 49:09
  Speaker 5: that's where the leftists expose themselves. And we try to
• 49:13
  Speaker 5: cover our eyes. Who wants to see that?
• 49:17
  Speaker 22: Now, fuel prices.
• 49:19
  Speaker 5: You talked about.
• 49:20
  Speaker 22: How come when the price all goes down, the price
• 49:23
  Speaker 22: of gas doesn't come down and whatnot.
• 49:25
  Speaker 5: Well, there's a lot of policies.
• 49:27
  Speaker 19: That went into that.
• 49:28
  Speaker 22: A lot of policies that went into that. I think
• 49:32
  Speaker 22: the main thing is we've got a bottleneck on refining,
• 49:34
  Speaker 22: but consider this. You think the EU likes Donald Trump
• 49:38
  Speaker 22: and MAGA?
• 49:42
  Speaker 5: Ask me a tough question. Ask me.
• 49:44
  Speaker 24: You think they're big fans?
• 49:45
  Speaker 5: No, not at all.
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 49:48
  Speaker 22: So is oil and fuel traded on the world market?
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: Yes, it is.
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 49:55
  Speaker 22: Was Russia an exporter and are they an importer now?
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 50:01
  Speaker 5: Is this all because of EU policy?
• 50:03
  Speaker 7: No.
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I believe so.
• 50:07
  Speaker 22: You think we're going to see lower fuel prices before
• 50:11
  Speaker 22: this election is up if the EU thinks it damages
• 50:14
  Speaker 22: Donald Trump?
• 50:15
  Speaker 5: No, and this is why Trump said it. That fellow
• 50:19
  Speaker 5: Tom Drops Bombs was saying this four weeks ago on
• 50:22
  Speaker 5: this show. He said, JT, Iranians have calendars. They know
• 50:27
  Speaker 5: when the midterms are. And they're going to. get chesty
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: over the Strait of Hormuz, and they're going to give excuses.
• 50:36
  Speaker 5: And this is the thing that bugs me, is that
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: President Trump called out the oil companies, pulled them into
• 50:44
  Speaker 5: the Oval Office, and then dropped it like a bad habit.
• 50:47
  Speaker 5: And I want to know why he dropped this push
• 50:51
  Speaker 5: to see why Amoco and ExxonMobil and these refining companies
• 50:57
  Speaker 5: were having a problem. Now, the biggest thing that's going
• 51:00
  Speaker 5: to happen... And it's a story I can't find anywhere else.
• 51:04
  Speaker 5: It's a little blurb all the way at the bottom
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: of Newsmax. Environmental Protection Agency is set to drop its
• 51:12
  Speaker 5: regulations on electric power plants. And, you know, we have
• 51:18
  Speaker 5: three just here in our flagship state of Virginia that
• 51:20
  Speaker 5: could fire up as fast as we could turn the
• 51:22
  Speaker 5: power back on. So let's let's get them going. Let's
• 51:26
  Speaker 5: get the tanks filled up. Let's start making some steam.
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: and let's get on with it. And I think that these,
• 51:34
  Speaker 5: along with the refinery standards, that's harder to do because
• 51:37
  Speaker 5: refineries take a long time to build. And a friend
• 51:41
  Speaker 5: of mine said, yeah, but we want Saudi Arabia refining
• 51:44
  Speaker 5: fuel for us because it's trade. Okay, great. Saudis, I
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: don't know what's happening with the Saudi royal family. I'm
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: afraid of an Arab spring going on there. And Because
• 51:58
  Speaker 5: I'm watching people carrying Donald Trump around in effigy along
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: with who I presume is the crown prince. Effigies are
• 52:08
  Speaker 5: like that. Trump effigies are easy to figure out. So
• 52:12
  Speaker 5: I worry about what's going on there. We need to refine, baby, refine.
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: Never mind drill, baby, drill. That was a great slogan.
• 52:18
  Speaker 5: We need to refine, baby, refine.
• 52:23
  Speaker 22: I can't agree more with that. Now, how come y'all
• 52:25
  Speaker 22: have to start your voting 18 September?
• 52:29
  Speaker 5: Because we're scared of getting our state employees sick with
• 52:33
  Speaker 5: COVID that doesn't get our state employees sick. And by
• 52:37
  Speaker 5: the way, the hypocrisy of that is the state operates
• 52:40
  Speaker 5: the liquor stores in this state and they never close
• 52:45
  Speaker 5: the liquor stores. So I guess some state employees in
• 52:48
  Speaker 5: Virginia are safer than others.
• 52:51
  Speaker 17: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 52:55
  Speaker 17: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 52:57
  Speaker 7: It was MediShare that came through for us, and there
• 53:00
  Speaker 7: was no hassles.
• 53:01
  Speaker 22: There was no problem.
• 53:02
  Speaker 17: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
• 53:06
  Speaker 17: of such an incredible ministry.
• 53:07
  Speaker 14: MediShare is a biblical approach to health care where Christians
• 53:11
  Speaker 14: share each other's medical expenses.
• 53:13
  Speaker 15: MediShare is a family, a group of people that stick
• 53:18
  Speaker 15: with you through the hardest times of your life.
• 53:20
  Speaker 14: MediShare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over 30 years old.
• 53:25
  Speaker 14: And members have shared over $ 8 billion of each other's
• 53:28
  Speaker 14: medical bills.
• 53:28
  Speaker 8: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
• 53:31
  Speaker 27: You can focus on supporting other people.
• 53:33
