  Speaker 1: We've got to protect our phony baloney job, gentlemen.

  Speaker 2: We must do something about this immediately.
• 0:06
  Speaker 3: Immediately, immediately.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: For you, from Joe Thomas, it's First Thing Today. Joe
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: works at.
• 0:13
  Speaker 4: A steel mill.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: He's down here every day.
• 0:17
  Speaker 5: Leaves for work when the sun comes up.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Drops a kid to school and all the way.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Joe has everything he dreamed of.
• 0:25
  Speaker 6: All the treasures that he needs.
• 0:28
  Speaker 7: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:30
  Speaker 8: He only aims to please you.
• 0:32
  Speaker 9: Let me be your Joe.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: this Friday.
• 0:38
  Speaker 10: I want to be your Joe.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: And as far as that goes, mission accomplished. But we've
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: got to get fired up. It's Friday. The college football
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: season is here. And most of us, the week ain't
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: done yet. So I don't know this TGIF.
• 0:53
  Speaker 11: He says there's no overtime.
• 0:57
  Speaker 9: He said there's something important that he needs right now
• 1:00
  Speaker 9: that's unspecified.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: I go to work.
• 1:03
  Speaker 9: He says he knows I put in a long week,
• 1:05
  Speaker 9: but he's got to be in PCB.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: So he needs me, so.
• 1:09
  Speaker 12: I go to work.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: And Fred's due next.
• 1:11
  Speaker 13: Week, so.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: You know, it's tough to rail against the boss when
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: you are the boss, but if you compartmentalize right, you
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: can have those arguments in the hallways of your head.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: These are the things that keep me up at night,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: or at least wake me up screaming anyway. Here we go.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: We lay out what went on last night. I will
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: give you my analysis of it. This is how we
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: do things here. You, being the most important local aspect
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: of your favorite radio station, need to tell me how
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: it is impacting you where you are. You do it
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: either by the traditional telephone call at 434-882-4217 or you
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: text message to the same phone number or you can
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: email jtinthemorningradio at gmail.com on the eastern seaboard or at
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: least in the mid-Atlantic region of the eastern seaboard. Boy, howdy.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: The sunrise is beautiful. I didn't realize I was facing east.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I guess I am. Anyway, you can gather with us.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: If you're in central Virginia, we're live from Common Ground.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: It's a great coffee shop where city elders meet every week.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: And I do this because I believe the world needs
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: more city elders groups. And here, the Virginia Council in
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: our flagship city said, yeah, sure, Joe, you can come
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: and talk loudly while we're having our prayer meetings. We'll
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: pretend we ignore you. They're very sweet about that. Nobody
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: turns around and gives me that look like, do you mind?
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: We do our best. We try to be inobtrusive, which
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: is very difficult for me. My whole life has been
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: built around being obtrusive. And then to try to be inobtrusive,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: it's like Rosie O'Donnell trying to say something nice about
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump. 434-882-4217. So leave us begin with our first
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: things this morning. Who's in charge here? The Iranians are saying,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: we didn't have any plot to assassinate Barron Trump. Mohsen Rezaei,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the Iranian security chief, called reports of an Iranian plot
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: to kill Barron a lie. in an interview broadcast by
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Lebanon's Al-Banar TV. His denial came two days after the
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Secret Service confirmed it was aware of a video broadcast
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: on Iranian television discussing a potential plot to assassinate Baran.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: The chief of naval operations is warning that a larger
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: navy is needed to keep pressure on China amid military
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: operations going on in Iran as sailors aboard the USS
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Theodore Roosevelt bring their big stick to the Middle East. Iran, meanwhile,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: is preparing a list of conditions that they say will
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: open the Strait of Hormuz permanently. Rezaei, in that same
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: interview we mentioned earlier, said that the deal has been
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: struck with Oman to create an international shipping corridor through
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the strait with parts of the route in Omani waters
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: and part in Iranian waters. The Treasury Department is bringing
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: tax investigations to the Open Society Foundation, the Southern Poverty
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Law Center, and the Council on American Islamic Relations. Treasury
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Department officials preparing audits of the organizations who are accused
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: of abusing the federal tax code. President Trump continues his
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: trolling of our neighbors to the north, rebranding Lake Ontario
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: as Lake America yesterday during his White House sit-down with
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the press. Meanwhile, though, that border battle is picking up
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: some interesting allies for the president, as Congressman Jared Golden,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: a Democrat, whose main congressional district runs along the Canadian border, said, quote,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: If Canada thinks they're better off without our goods, I
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: wish them luck. I suspect in the long run it
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: won't go well for them. This radio program is not
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the only notable public figure that won't be attending the
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: World Trade Center commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: September 11th terror attacks. We, for our part, will be
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: broadcasting to you live from Shanksville at the Flight 93 Memorial.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: President Trump will not be in New York either. He
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: will be going to the Pentagon to give a speech there. J.D.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Vance will be representing the White House in New York.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: And Russia is saber-rattling against British military targets, saying that Moscow,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: that Britain is one step away from becoming complicit in
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: civilian-targeted You've heard, perhaps, maybe rumors, scurrilous, you may think,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: that I write for the Daily Signal online newspaper at dailysignal.com. Yes,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: that's me. I know there are a lot of Joe
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Thomases out there on the Internet, and now there's even more.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I saw there was a talk show host in Britain
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: whose name is Joe Thomas. Never mind the former Cleveland
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Browns offensive lineman who now does sports talk radio. It's
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: even harder to find me because there are too many
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: of these people doing radio. But if you find Joe
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Thomas at the Daily Signal, you know we cover Virginia news.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: And two columns posted yesterday for the price of one,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: the one that published late in the day, details all
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the goings-on as a school board comes apart under allegations
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: that they ignored, at very least, at worst, perhaps covered up.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: sexual assaults going on in the office of the trans
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: counselor in one of those schools at DailySignal.com.
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: Let's see, if something costs.
• 7:02
  Speaker 14: Less, a lot less, but people are actually happier with it,
• 7:06
  Speaker 14: that sounds like something to look into.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: And that's MediShare.
• 7:10
  Speaker 14: Maybe you've heard joining MediShare can save you or your
• 7:12
  Speaker 14: family up to 500 bucks a month, and that's huge.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: But it's also true.
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: People are just happier with it.
• 7:18
  Speaker 14: They love being part of something that reflects and promotes their.
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: Values and what they believe in. MediShare works too.
• 7:24
  Speaker 14: It's been around for 30 years now and members have
• 7:27
  Speaker 14: shared more than $ 7 billion of each other's bills. People
• 7:31
  Speaker 14: love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network. So yeah, really,
• 7:36
  Speaker 14: you can save a ton and like it better. Imagine
• 7:38
  Speaker 14: being happy with how you're taking care of your healthcare,
• 7:41
  Speaker 14: whether you're self-employed or part of the gig economy, or
• 7:43

  Speaker 2: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age

  Speaker 16: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 9:37
  Speaker 16: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 9:41
  Speaker 16: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that

  Speaker 16: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 9:49
  Speaker 16: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 9:53

• 12:34
  Speaker 8: I love these nachos.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I love our kickball league. I love this guy.
• 12:42
  Speaker 19: What's your name?
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: You know what I'd love?
• 12:44
  Speaker 8: A ride when it's time to head out.

  Speaker 20: A message from NHTSA and the Ad Council. Radio.
• 12:55
  Speaker 21: It's on.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: It is the sound of power.
• 13:12
  Speaker 19: On a need-to-know basis, because you need to know the
• 13:16
  Speaker 19: first thing today.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: I know I said I love you.
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: I know you.
• 13:22
  Speaker 21: Know it's true. I'm not to.
• 13:25
  Speaker 22: Put the phone down.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: You do what we love.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: One's standing in the highway. Two more at the door.
• 13:36
  Speaker 23: We've got to get inside there before they kill someone.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: So we received this email during the break. We were
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: talking about going to Shanksville on September 11th for the
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: 25th anniversary. And Marie, listening to us this morning, came
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: out in the Inland Empire and said, Why are you
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: going there, Joe? Because I believe there's a uniqueness to
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: what happened on Flight 93 that we unfortunately don't pay
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: enough attention to. And it's the fact that Americans, facing
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: obvious peril, stood up and said, no, this is wrong,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: and did something about it. And the passengers on Flight 93,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: and believe me, Marie, I get the emails all the
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: time because I celebrate the passengers of Flight 93. There
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: are the people who live in this weird, psychotic, bipolar
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: world where if I say something good or celebratory about
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: the Flight 93 passengers, I'm somehow denigrating in their mind
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: everyone else. And that's ridiculous. I'm not doing that. I'm
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: just saying that, you know, and certainly the folks working
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: at Cantor Fitzgerald in New York had no idea an
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: airplane was about to land on them. So what were
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: they going to do? What about the heroic folks who
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: climbed up the stairs and helped people down and the
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: first responders and the firefighters? The biological grandfather of my
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: niece was one of those firefighters, passed away of mesothelioma
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: from his response to the trade towers on September 11th,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: just after she was born and put up for adoption
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: by my sister-in-law. But these are the stories that, you know,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: you're just choosing one or another. I'm picking the, the
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: point where Americans said we can do something about this.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: And I think that's an important thing to celebrate. That's
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: all I'm saying, Maria. And I appreciate listening out there.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: and KMET and the Inland Empire. Eddie is listening to
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: us on the Internet down in Scottsville, or maybe he
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: gets us on our flagship. I was told the station
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: I bought is more powerful than the station that shall
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: not be named when it comes to where Eddie lives
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: in Scottsville, Virginia. But I appreciate you hanging on, Eddie.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: What's on your mind, sir?
• 16:20
  Speaker 24: Yeah, he'll get you on the radio.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Old-fashioned way. Anyway, what's on your mind, sir?
• 16:26
  Speaker 24: Well, this popped into my head yesterday. President Trump signed
• 16:30
  Speaker 24: an executive order changing the name of one of the
• 16:33
  Speaker 24: Great Lakes. And just a short test for you. We'll
• 16:37
  Speaker 24: see what that New York education did.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, dear.
• 16:41
  Speaker 24: Just name the five Great Lakes.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Well, there's Lake America. There's Huron, Michigan. Huron, Michigan. America.
• 16:51
  Speaker 13: Oh, gosh.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Now, I figured I'd get Huron, which is the one
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: that always used to hang me up, Michigan, Lake, gosh,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: and I'm trying to get the two other ones.
• 17:10
  Speaker 24: Okay, let me stop you because you're embarrassing yourself.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Well, you don't understand. Have you not read the business
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: model of this program? If we can't embarrass Joe at
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: some point in the hour, we're not trying. So I've
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: got Lake America, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron. Oh, what's Kichigumi?
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: The wreck of the Ella Fitzgerald. Gosh, why can't I
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: remember that lake? Superior.
• 17:42
  Speaker 24: You're still missing one.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: I know. Well, give me some credit. Kids today get
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: partial credit for showing their work.
• 17:53
  Speaker 24: Here's the trick. I had a, I think it was
• 17:57
  Speaker 24: a seventh grade teacher, this is like over 60 years ago,
• 18:01
  Speaker 24: taught us a little geography trick where we could remember

• 18:35
  Speaker 24: hams are good I was just getting used to the
• 18:39
  Speaker 24: Gulf of America.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: The Gulf of America is great. And having lived for
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: some time in Buffalo, New York, Lake America is really
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: cool also. And it's actually what makes Buffalo, New York
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: one of my favorite places to be in the summer
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: and the winter. And people laugh because they're like, why
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: would you want to be in Buffalo in the winter?
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I say, yeah, it snows like the bejibbers out there.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: But when the snow stops... It is crystal clear. There
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: isn't a cloud in the sky for weeks on end.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: And now I had young kids, so playing in the
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: snow was good. But, you know, the lake makes living
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: along that area. And I imagine Rochester is the same way.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: But you live along that Lake of America. It is gorgeous,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: except for when it's lake effect snow and you just.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: hunker down and watch the snow pile up by a magnitude.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: But I appreciate it, Eddie. Good stuff. Hams. Okay. So
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I'll remember the Great Lakes that way. Thank you, sir. Okay, Joe. Thanks.
• 19:42
  Speaker 17: 434-882-4217.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: So that's how you remember the hams. Okay. James Luck
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: is on the phone with us from jcsgold.com, where he
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: worries about far more substantial things than the names of
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: the Great Lakes. I'm not going to do that to you, James.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: He's on to tell us how gold and silver are
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: doing this morning. Hey, Joe.
• 20:04
  Speaker 21: Yeah, gold and silver in the green, which is pretty
• 20:07
  Speaker 21: easy to figure out every single day. Just go to jcsgold.com.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: No guesswork there.
• 20:13
  Speaker 21: It's right at the header of our website is the
• 20:16
  Speaker 21: live price tickers of gold and silver. So you can
• 20:20
  Speaker 21: always see that as they update in real time, 24-7
• 20:23
  Speaker 21: there at jcsgold.com.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: And as we talk.
• 20:26
  Speaker 21: About all the time is that we also have charts
• 20:30
  Speaker 21: there on our homepage, too, to where you can see
• 20:32
  Speaker 21: the performance of gold and silver compared to oil or
• 20:34
  Speaker 21: compared to S & P or compared to changing names
• 20:38
  Speaker 21: of lakes and bodies of water.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: But you can go, and this is the detail work
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: that these folks at jcsgold.com, a family business, not a
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: corporate entity that's worried about trying to please some shareholders somewhere.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: It's just a family trying to help you get involved
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: in the gold and silver world. They want you to
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: have information. because that makes you a powerful consumer of
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: this stuff. And you don't wind up in a place
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: where you're mad because you've over leveraged or you've done something,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: you know, that you weren't ready for. All these things
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: are perilous in the world of investing. But with information,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: we can make those choices. Right, James?
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: That's exactly right.
• 21:20
  Speaker 21: And the best thing is, is to your point, is
• 21:22
  Speaker 21: that there is no CEO. There is no earnings call
• 21:26
  Speaker 21: for gold and silver. There are There's nothing that you
• 21:28
  Speaker 21: have to worry about with that or new product launch or.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Anything of the sort. Exactly.
• 21:35
  Speaker 21: It really is just a temperature check on the U.S.
• 21:39
  Speaker 21: economy and the strength of the dollar, which is pretty cool.
• 21:42
  Speaker 21: And over history, we can see how the strength of
• 21:45
  Speaker 21: the dollar is going.
• 21:47

  Speaker 25: not need to be super intense. As a matter of fact,

  Speaker 19: We could tell you what 6-7 means. Where's the fine line?
• 28:15
  Speaker 19: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network. No,
• 28:29
  Speaker 19: not me The other guy.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: 434-882-4217. That is the way you tell me how the
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: news of the day is impacting you where you are.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: You can text message to that line. Very popular way
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: to do that because we know how mornings are. This one,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: I didn't know they had kings. The story of King
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Harold V of Norway passing away yesterday at the age
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: of 89. A lot of places still have kings. Just
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: a quick point of order. Most of them are okay.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: So we tend to, in this country, get wistful about, gosh,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: wouldn't a kingdom just be great? And you look at
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: where we've become. Every four years, we line up politically
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: in this metaphorical Battle of Bannockburn You know, we got
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: William Wallace on one side and long shanks on the other,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: and we hack away at each other yelling freedom. And
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: we elect a king who's got a cabinet full of
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: people who have their own police departments and court systems
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: to go out amongst us and enforce the order. You know, Caesar,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: I think, was at least a little bit more upfront
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: about it. I mean, he kept the Senate in Rome
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: around just so the citizens didn't catch on. But at
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: some point, you look at John Thune and Mike Johnson
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: and Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer and say, are you
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: guys really doing anything here? I mean, aside from getting
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: a little grabastic with some of your aides there, I
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: wonder if about that. We were talking about being here
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: at our dear friends at Common Ground. It's a great
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: coffee shop in our flagship area in a beautiful town
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: called Fishersville with an absolutely, by the way, drop dead
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: gorgeous view of the sunrise every morning. over the Blue
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Ridge Mountains, not the Rocky Mountains, but the Blue Ridge Mountains.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: So we appreciate them letting us come in and visit.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: But I was thinking about them just a few minutes
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: ago when I mentioned that we're here because the world
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: needs more city elders groups. And I think we're in
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: about eight states now. And it made me think about
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: our friends at the Convention of States. And a true story,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: about 10 minutes ago, I just said, gosh, I haven't
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: talked about the Convention of States in a while either.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: There are so many things to promote that need to
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: be enacted so that we can get this right. And
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: there it is right there, in case of emergency, break glass,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: or words to that effect, George Mason inserting this emergency
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: exit proviso in the U.S. Constitution. And locally, our friend
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Nancy Koenig, is running the Convention of States situation in
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Virginia and a Herculean task since leftists convinced 60% of
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: the voters to stay home and then convinced the other
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: 20% to vote for them. So we've got to get
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: them out of the General Assembly so that Virginia can
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: ratify our portion of the Convention of States compact. But Nancy,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: how are you doing this Friday morning?
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: I'm doing fine, Joe.
• 32:31
  Speaker 12: And thank you for talking about the Constitution all the time.
• 32:34
  Speaker 12: Just a quick aside to piggyback on Eddie, my fellow
• 32:39
  Speaker 12: Scots villager. It would be Hames, because I'm a retired
• 32:45
  Speaker 12: elementary school teacher, that E would make the A long.
• 32:49
  Speaker 12: Home is one of those old Anglo-Saxon words that doesn't
• 32:52
  Speaker 12: follow phonetics.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Okay. Well, as long as we didn't change it to
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: anything with an O, I guess we're okay. Yeah. Anyway.
• 33:03
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, our new Great Lakes there, Nancy. But how
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: is the movement, Mark Meckler and all the folks like
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Nancy who are working hard to get a convention of
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: states convened, this particular one, to rein in the budget,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: to rein in the spending, to get a hold of
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: the value of our dollar? How is the movement going?
• 33:27
  Speaker 12: Well, with legal permission from individual state constitutions, we are
• 33:38
  Speaker 12: able to promote certain candidates who will.
• 33:47
  Speaker 12: Support our resolution to call for an amending convention. And
• 33:54
  Speaker 12: in the past elections, people have been primaried. I'm forgetting
• 34:00
  Speaker 12: which state it was. Montana or Utah, somewhere in the
• 34:06
  Speaker 12: Upper West. And a lot of candidates have been primaried out,
• 34:12
  Speaker 12: those of the legislature, who did not support the resolution.
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: So we're doing a good job with that.
• 34:19
  Speaker 12: What we continue to have trouble with, though, is people
• 34:24
  Speaker 12: who will not.
• 34:27
  Speaker 12: Listen to the facts and are frightened of what's in
• 34:34
  Speaker 12: the Constitution because of the misrepresentation of historical facts. I
• 34:40
  Speaker 12: know that you were very up on the Annapolis Convention.
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: And the.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Well, I know.
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: It can't be a runaway.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of folks are scared because technically... the
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: convention that was called, that gave us the Constitution and
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: the Bill of Rights, was not called for that purpose.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: It was called to very ambiguously fix what had been
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: breaking all the things that had gone wrong under the
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Articles of Convention. Now, within that call to order, Madison,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: a very smart parliamentarian himself, if not a bit of
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: a nerd, was able to get onto the floor a
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: resolution to adopt a whole different idea And that set
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: off a whole maelstrom of things culminating in bringing George
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Washington back out of retirement so that he could knock
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: some heads together and say, listen, knuckleheads, let's not screw
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: up because Britain's in a boat on its way over
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: here ready to take over again if we can't figure
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: this out. And within that, see, that convention was able
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: to do something that it wasn't called to do because
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: it doesn't have Article 5 at the start of it.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: And if you read Article 5 of the U.S. Constitution,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: it states specifically that an Article 5 convention must specifically
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: lay out what it is being called for. It cannot
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: just go wandering into the woods saying, gee, I wish
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: we could. You have to know in advance before you
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: vote for the adoption of an Article 5 convention. Have
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: I said that correctly, Nancy?
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: Absolutely. It was the Articles of Convention.
• 36:29
  Speaker 12: The Congress that was part of that had didn't have
• 36:35
  Speaker 12: Article five.
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: So the the other thing is that.
• 36:43
  Speaker 12: I think there were two states who recalled their.
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: Commissioners because they had.
• 36:51
  Speaker 12: Not allowed their commissioners to talk about a constitution, about
• 36:57
  Speaker 12: changing the Articles of Confederation.
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: But eventually they came about and changed the commission. And
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: that's what I want to bring up.
• 37:08
  Speaker 12: Both Republicans and Democrats use the same argument, saying we're
• 37:16
  Speaker 12: afraid that the convention is going to run away.
• 37:21
  Speaker 6: And one of the things that we did.
• 37:26
  Speaker 12: The past two years, Virginia, has proposed a faithful delegate amendment,
• 37:34
  Speaker 12: which many states have proposed, and that says, and you
• 37:39
  Speaker 12: really don't need it, but anyway, it says that if
• 37:42
  Speaker 12: your commissioner goes against why The legislature sent you to
• 37:50
  Speaker 12: the amending convention.
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: He can be recalled.
• 37:54
  Speaker 12: And our bill said that he would be liable for
• 37:59
  Speaker 12: a class five felony.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: In a study, it was found that 33 percent of
• 38:05

  Speaker 2: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: I'm Dr.
• 39:14
  Speaker 9: Mitch.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or at
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: least slow the spread of cancer. and in many instances,
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even

• 40:59
  Speaker 3: Hi, everybody.
• 40:59
  Speaker 10: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 41:02
  Speaker 10: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 41:05
  Speaker 10: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 41:07
  Speaker 10: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 41:09
  Speaker 10: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes,
• 41:13
  Speaker 10: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
• 41:16
  Speaker 10: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
• 41:18
  Speaker 10: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
• 41:21
  Speaker 10: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: This remarkable work.
• 41:25
  Speaker 10: Ethic is shared by our best friends, the canines. We
• 41:28
  Speaker 10: know dogs are our wonderful pets at home, but because
• 41:31
  Speaker 10: of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving work every day.
• 41:35
  Speaker 10: Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans,
• 41:38
  Speaker 10: some of whom suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics,
• 41:40
  Speaker 10: alerting them when there's a change in their blood chemistry.
• 41:43
  Speaker 10: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
• 41:46
  Speaker 10: contribute to society and help those in need. So please
• 41:48
  Speaker 10: join me and American Humane in supporting our heroic working
• 41:52
  Speaker 10: dogs and all the amazing animals on this planet we
• 41:54
  Speaker 10: inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.

  Speaker 5: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 42:01
  Speaker 20: Oh, yeah?
• 42:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 42:04
  Speaker 26: And now a speech.
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 42:13
  Speaker 10: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: somebody call me a ride.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Love that guy.
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: Me too.
• 42:21
  Speaker 20: Know your buzzed warning signs?
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: Call for a ride when it's time to go home.
• 42:25
  Speaker 20: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 42:29
  Speaker 11: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 42:32
  Speaker 11: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 42:36
  Speaker 11: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 42:40
  Speaker 11: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 42:42
  Speaker 11: energy assessment. Your utility company can help. Or you can
• 42:46
  Speaker 11: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 42:52
  Speaker 11: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 42:55
  Speaker 11: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 42:59
  Speaker 11: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 43:01
  Speaker 11: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 43:05
  Speaker 11: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 43:08
  Speaker 11: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 43:11
  Speaker 11: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 43:15
  Speaker 11: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

• 43:30
  Speaker 27: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 43:33
  Speaker 27: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 43:36
  Speaker 27: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 43:41
  Speaker 27: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 43:44
  Speaker 27: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories

• 44:12
  Speaker 19: For you, from Joe Thomas, it's First Thing Today.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: On this morning's First Thing Today, I was struck, you know,
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: one of our favorite comics is Tom Papa, and in
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: one of his routines, he talks about how he taught
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: his kids to brush their teeth. And it involved allowing
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: them not to until the kids at school made them
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: want to. And I guess that's sort of a very,
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: you know, free market way of doing it. I think
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: she's got more tips than that for us. She is
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: Joanne Butler, Lifestyle TV, lifeminute.tv. Pardon me, Joanne, how are
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: you doing this morning?
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: I'm doing great, Joe. Thanks for having me.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: Have you ever seen, I can't remember which one of
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: Tom Papa's routines it is, but his kids are in
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: like middles or, you know, and he's like, yeah, I
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: told her, don't have to until the kids start, you know,
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: calling her names because her breath stinks, which I guess
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: is a way to look at it. But, you know, really,
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, kids, they get so overscheduled anyway, making sure
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: that they make time. for personal hygiene is important as well,
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: isn't it?
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah. And he said it right, too. It's all about
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: making them want to. That's the whole trick. As we
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: all know, we know how hard it can be to
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: get them to do anything, let alone take care of
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: their personal care tasks, like brushing their teeth or brushing
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: their hair. I know I've sounded like a broken record
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: so many times with my kids.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: So what are some good tactics for it? Are there
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: ways that are, you know, helping people make that connection?
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: Absolutely. It's about, you know, buying some good stuff, fun things.
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: There's a new line called Frida's Kids.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: It has 32 products.
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was created by Frida. She started Chelsea Hirshhorn.
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: She started with a baby care line called Frida Baby.
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: And then she expanded into mother care.
• 46:18
  Speaker 12: And then.
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: Now she has a whole kids line. Yeah, 32 products
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: spanning body, hair, oral care and grooming. And she really
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: did her homework to give us exactly what kids need
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: at this stage. And, you know, to get them excited
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: about taking responsibility for their hygiene. It's for kids 6
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: to 11, you know, that tween kind of age where,
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: you know, sometimes it's a challenge when things maybe are
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: like too babyish or, you know, things are too adult.
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: But this just kind of fits the bill. Good price point, too.
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: But really fun stuff, like amazing products. packaging, very colorful
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: and fun.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: So where do you find it? I mean, is it
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: something you order online or can you take the kids
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: to the store? Because I think, you know, somehow if
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: they go and they pick it off the shelf, that
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: might be good. Or if you, if you go shopping
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: with them even online, right?
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: That's exactly, that's another, that's a tip.
• 47:14
  Speaker 6: Exactly.
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: Let them go shopping with you. Let them pick out
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: what they like too. So they feel empowered to actually
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: use it. That's a really, really good tip. And you
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: can get it right at Amazon and Walmart, either in-store
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: or online. But the really cool things, like a three-in-one
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: everywhere wash that you can wash your hair, your face,
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: your body. It comes with a little travel size, so
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: you can use it on the go.
• 47:36
  Speaker 25: Wow.
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: There's an electric flosser, an electric toothbrush with a trademark
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: prove-it light that helps parents ensure their kids brushed properly
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: and for long enough. There's detangling brushes, you know, how
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: hair can get tangled when you don't brush it.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. You've never seen a picture of me, Joanne, but
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: believe me, I know probably better than any of the
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: other guys you talk to, except maybe Howard Stern, what
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: happens when you don't brush your hair. And I think
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: his is a wig. Mine is not. But that's just
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: scurrilous rumors. So, so is this your Frida doesn't do anything,
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: you know, halfway. So did she do all the research on,
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: on what the trends were? Because kids, I mean, it's like, oh,
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: that was last month, mom, you know, that's nobody uses
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: that anymore.
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: Yes. Like she's the real deal. Their CEO is Chelsea
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: Hirshhorn and she's like really built products around the real
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: challenges we face every day. They did a survey, um,
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: you know, and found out all this stuff that like
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: parents said, kids need to be reminded on average three
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: and a half times a day to get one half
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: done when it comes to their personal code. Yeah. 60%
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: say hygiene is one of their biggest daily parenting challenges.
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: So she really, you know, expanded this line. Like I said,
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: it started with baby and then mother care and then fertility.
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: She even has a fertility line.
• 49:05
  Speaker 19: Wow.
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: And now free to kids. So, again, something really cool
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: to help us parents and kids out there, too. It's
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: the first of its kind in this category.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: Well, you get them young enough, they'll keep using it
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: all the way into adulthood.
• 49:18
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: It's very good to start them early.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: Especially with the brushing, you know. What was the old slogan?
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: Be true to your teeth and they won't be false
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: to you or something like that. I remember when I was...
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: She is Joanne Butler. She's been doing this for a
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: long time. Well, not that long because she's only like 25.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: But anyway, Jill. That's right, Joe. Have a great morning.
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: You too.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: Nancy Koenig, Convention of States, we were talking about this
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: mischaracterized and assailed group as well this morning. It's the
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: pinky swear of men to it. And it's a shame,
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: but that's what happens when these authoritarians They fear a
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: convention of states because they realize that they've been for
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: 30 years, Nancy? Am I being generous to say 30 years?
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: Maybe 60 years? They've been behaving in this Hamiltonian implied
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: powers way that I think they're afraid that the jig
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: might be up.
• 50:28
  Speaker 25: Yeah, yeah.
• 50:29
  Speaker 12: Well, and part of our problem is that two conservative organizations,
• 50:35
  Speaker 12: the Eagle Forum and the John Birch Society, have historical
• 50:40
  Speaker 12: facts that aren't history.
• 50:42
  Speaker 6: They're not true.
• 50:43
  Speaker 12: And so strong conservatives believe them and don't look at
• 50:49
  Speaker 12: the actual historical facts.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: Well, and that's, you know, and this, and I hate
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: to say this because I have dear friends in both groups.
• 50:58
  Speaker 17: Yes, absolutely.
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, the Shafley family is good
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: friends of this program, the Eagle Forum. But, you know,
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: this is what happens when these groups tie their wagons
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: to fundraising, you know, and you have to be careful
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: because they want, they being the authoritarians, want us divided
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: on issues rather than working together on it because 90%
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: of the country, maybe 85% if I'm being liberal, agree
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: on all the constitutional principles if you lay them out there.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: It's when you get into the fear-mongering. That's when you
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: get this... Oh, I can't be for that because they're
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: they're they're afraid that, you know, like like Virginia's constitutional
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: permission on abortion will come out of a constitutional convention
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: that has nothing to do with it. So, you know,
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: the truth is the truth, Nancy. And thank you for
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: reminding us that.
• 51:58
  Speaker 6: Yes, thank you very much.
• 52:00
  Speaker 12: And I ask people across the nation, because this is
• 52:04
  Speaker 12: about the U.S.
• 52:04
  Speaker 6: Constitution, go to conventionofstates.com.
• 52:08
  Speaker 12: Look at who supports us, OU people who are conservative,
• 52:15
  Speaker 12: and whom do you trust? Do you trust George Soros
• 52:22
  Speaker 12: and Hillary Clinton?
• 52:25
  Speaker 6: Or do you.
• 52:27
  Speaker 6: Support a constitutional lawyer um mark levin.
