0:03
Speaker 1: We've cut the cost of radio listening by, hell, it
0:06
Speaker 1: didn't cost anything in the first place. So let's say.
0:09
Speaker 2: $ 1 million.
0:11
Speaker 3: And call it even.
0:13
Speaker 1: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
0:18
Speaker 4: Joe works at a steel mill. He's damn near every day.
0:23
Speaker 5: Leased for work when the sun comes up.
0:25
Speaker 6: Drops the kids to school and on the way.
0:28
Speaker 3: Joe has everything he dreamed of.
0:30
Speaker 4: All the treasures that he needs.
0:33
Speaker 3: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
0:36
Speaker 7: He only aims to please you. Let me be your Joe.
0:41
Speaker 4: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
0:43
Speaker 4: this morning.
0:44
Speaker 6: I want to be your Joe.
0:47
Speaker 4: Mark writes in. I hope Mark's listening on the stream now.
0:53
Speaker 4: He was listening to us in San Antonio on Freedom 970.
0:58
Speaker 4: He said laughing out loud at the Earl Campbell interview. Helps.
1:04
Speaker 4: You're absolutely right. All the philosophy in the world is great.
1:07
Speaker 4: Jimmy Johnson is a great coach as long as Troy
1:10
Speaker 4: Aikman is quarterbacking. Let's ask Bill Belichick about how his
1:14
Speaker 4: system works when there's not somebody named Tom Brady calling
1:19
Speaker 4: the signals. Well, yeah, it's it. I mean, our soldiers
1:23
Speaker 4: are our best team. And that's what I said is
1:26
Speaker 4: I worry. And I just want to lay it out
1:29
Speaker 4: that I am worried about. that this zeal towards automated
1:34
Speaker 4: warfare is in the hands of people who will be
1:39
Speaker 4: like Chuck Schumer and Adam Schiff, could be used cavalierly
1:44
Speaker 4: and perhaps even circumventing posse comitatus. Says, well, it doesn't
1:50
Speaker 4: say drones can't be used, Joe. Drones fly overhead all
1:53
Speaker 4: the time. So this one shoots at you. Clark's on
1:57
Speaker 4: the line. Good morning, Clark. How are you doing this
1:59
Speaker 4: Thursday morning? Happy October.
2:02
Speaker 8: I want to use the line from the movie Tank.
2:05
Speaker 8: Did you just call me a pussy communist?
2:09
Speaker 4: No, I said posse comitatus. I'm sorry. It must have
2:15
Speaker 4: been bad cell service. I apologize.
2:19
Speaker 8: So, on Sun Tzu, I believe it was in Liu
2:23
Speaker 8: Zhang's treatise on Sun Tzu, he said, lay your defenses
2:28
Speaker 8: in such a way as to be considered unassaultable. For
2:33
Speaker 8: even the most ferocious tiger does not attack the lowly porcupine.
2:39
Speaker 8: So there's that. Now, your automated war and we lose
2:48
Speaker 8: the human element and.
2:51
Speaker 4: Sense of loss.
2:52
Speaker 8: You know, Joe, when you think about it, if you
2:55
Speaker 8: extend your line of reasoning, you go back to feudal
2:59
Speaker 8: times when you had a king and dukes and barons
3:01
Speaker 8: and whatnot. They didn't send people to war, Joe. They
3:08
Speaker 8: led people to war.
3:11
Speaker 4: There is that.
3:11
Speaker 8: How much different would it be if Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer,
3:18
Speaker 8: Mitch McConnell had to deploy?
3:21
Speaker 4: Oh, well, you know, and to be, you know, bipartisan,
3:25
Speaker 4: you know, who was the last president to actually lead
3:29
Speaker 4: soldiers into combat? Was it James Madison? The last time
3:34
Speaker 4: we did that.
3:37
Speaker 8: Wait, the president. OK, I got you.
3:40
Speaker 7: Yeah.
3:40
Speaker 9: No.
3:40
Speaker 8: Then we went to after you had read you served.
3:46
Speaker 10: Oh, yeah.
3:47
Speaker 8: It'd be a whole different deal. Now, somebody's going to say, well,
3:53
Speaker 8: our political leadership is much too important.
3:56
Speaker 4: Well, let's stick a pin in that importance for a moment.
4:01
Speaker 4: Believe me, I'd love to stick a pin in that importance.
4:04
Speaker 4: Let me tell everyone what's going on and why we're
4:06
Speaker 4: talking about this. So in his second ever State of
4:10
Speaker 4: the Force address, Secretary of State Pete Hegseth unveiled six
4:14
Speaker 4: points and six initiatives intended to, quote, govern the department's
4:20
Speaker 4: direction for years to come. Among those was the development
4:24
Speaker 4: of the four-star level Autonomous Warfare Command, or AutoWarCom, to
4:31
Speaker 4: accelerate the development and deployment of autonomous and robotic systems
4:35
Speaker 4: in the military. Pentagon officials also said they're going to
4:39
Speaker 4: be reducing flag and general officer positions by 20% by
4:45
Speaker 4: January 1st. Part of the next generation technological dominance is
4:53
Speaker 4: going to be ushered in by a committee of led
4:55
Speaker 4: by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, tech whiz Elon Musk,
5:01
Speaker 4: and perhaps time traveler, and Andril Industries founder Palmer Lackey.
5:07
Speaker 4: Project Meridian will be their stepchild, which will identify capabilities
5:12
Speaker 4: required to, quote, achieve absolute technological dominance in the next
5:18
Speaker 4: generation battlefield. Meanwhile, quietly while this was going on, and
5:24
Speaker 4: without the muss and fuss of our abandonment of Afghanistan, U.S.
5:29
Speaker 4: troops ended their 12-year mission yesterday in Iraq. The Islamic
5:34
Speaker 4: State group battles have been going on since 2014, and
5:43
Speaker 4: President Trump hailed the conclusion of our occupation there as, quote,
5:48
Speaker 4: a very expensive mission. excursion into hell. Trump described the
5:53
Speaker 4: withdrawal by September 30th orderly and said in a social
5:57
Speaker 4: media post it has been a long time with very
6:00
Speaker 4: bad decision making that has gotten us involved in this
6:03
Speaker 4: quagmire in the first place. Iran has received a counter
6:09
Speaker 4: proposal from the United States regarding getting a ceasefire in
6:13
Speaker 4: place and getting the Strait of Hormuz open without the
6:17
Speaker 4: threat of attack from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. And
6:22
Speaker 4: those are some, just some, of our first things this morning.
6:31
Speaker 4: All right, for the Daily Signal, a new piece out
6:34
Speaker 4: on early voting and why it's so easily corruptible, why
6:39
Speaker 4: even Jimmy Carter said, don't do this. And we lay
6:45
Speaker 4: out some of the statistics based on how Virginia has
6:48
Speaker 4: voted this year. I write for the Virginia page. There
6:51
Speaker 4: are teams covering Ohio, Georgia, Texas, and California as well.
6:57
Speaker 4: And more to come, plus Victor Davis Hanson at Daily Signal.

9:37
Speaker 13: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the

11:05
Speaker 16: you recognize them?
11:07
Speaker 17: By their clothes?
11:08
Speaker 10: Their age?
11:09
Speaker 18: The way they speak?
11:11
Speaker 16: Would you notice a 16-year-old boy who got his first job?
11:14
Speaker 5: Not for extra spending money, but to help feed his
11:17
Speaker 5: little sisters.
11:19
Speaker 16: Or a mother who's in between jobs and sometimes goes

12:42

12:43
Speaker 4: You know what I love?
12:44

12:47
Speaker 5: see a buzzed warning sign, call for a ride when
12:49

Speaker 5: A message from NHTSA and the Ad Council.
13:12
Speaker 1: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
13:16
Speaker 1: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
13:18
Speaker 6: As a matter of fact, the more varied those things are.
13:23
Speaker 7: The better.
13:40
Speaker 4: Satirized for your protection. That's how we roll here. I'll
13:43
Speaker 4: tell you what went on. I'll give you my analysis.
13:46
Speaker 4: And as the side effects start to wear off, I
13:49
Speaker 4: want you to tell me how it's impacting you, where
13:52
Speaker 4: you are, the single most important part of the locality
13:57
Speaker 4: that is the radio station. It is true. I mean,
13:59
Speaker 4: it's all the, we're local. You're the local part. Nobody
14:05
Speaker 4: ever tells you that, do they?
14:07
Speaker 7: Dr.
14:07
Speaker 4: Clark was on the line with us, was just opening
14:09
Speaker 4: a can of fish on transparency in how we use
14:15
Speaker 4: our military force. Clark, so I'm sorry I had to
14:19
Speaker 4: put you, but we need to get our first things
14:22
Speaker 4: out there. So pick up. We were talking about Sun
14:25
Speaker 4: Tzu and, you know, this call for this development of
14:30
Speaker 4: the automated military system.
14:35
Speaker 8: So, yeah, the automated military is something to consider. But,
14:40
Speaker 8: you know, when you really start peeling the onion, this
14:43
Speaker 8: current kerfuffle, we did start out with kinetic activity, okay?
14:50
Speaker 8: But that's not the objective of the exercise. Donald Trump
14:54
Speaker 8: is waging economical warfare.
14:56
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. We did the kinetic part.
15:00
Speaker 8: To neutralize Iran's ability to strike at its neighbors in
15:04
Speaker 8: retaliation for the economic part. But we are completely strangling
15:10
Speaker 8: that regime by cutting off their money. You know, Donald
15:16
Speaker 8: Trump did not invent this. He might be the first
15:20
Speaker 8: person on our side to play the game, but it
15:23
Speaker 8: hasn't been played against us for a very long time. Now,
15:29
Speaker 8: the banks of England, the WEF, China, they're not liking
15:35
Speaker 8: him jumping.
15:36
Speaker 4: In their game.
15:37
Speaker 8: And you remember when Sears was the dominant retailer, Joe?
15:42
Speaker 4: Oh yeah. And people had to do something about Sears.
15:45
Speaker 4: The history is replete with big, big operations that somebody
15:49
Speaker 4: had to quote, do something about Napster, you know, and the,
15:52
Speaker 4: I remember the whole, Oh, somebody needs to do something
15:56
Speaker 4: about Napster. And, and before the government could get around
16:00
Speaker 4: to it, the marketplace did it in.
16:03
Speaker 8: How far you got to go to shop at a
16:05
Speaker 8: Sears right.
16:05
Speaker 7: Now, Joe?
16:07
Speaker 4: I don't think you can go far enough because there
16:11
Speaker 4: aren't any.
16:12
Speaker 8: How come?
16:13
Speaker 4: Why not?
16:13
Speaker 8: Because they got Walmarted. Sears might have invented the game,
16:18
Speaker 8: but Walmart came along and did a better distribution network
16:22
Speaker 8: and strangled them economically. And Donald Trump is Walmarting his
16:27
Speaker 8: enemies right now.
16:29
Speaker 4: Well, and that's the thing, but I, you know, and
16:30
Speaker 4: this is the world, this is the contrarian. If Joe
16:34
Speaker 4: Biden was conducting this, if Barack Obama was conducting this,
16:38
Speaker 4: you would have four-part harmonies being sung on the news desk. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
16:46
Speaker 8: They did conduct this, but they conducted it against us.
16:52
Speaker 4: Right, right. We were the enemy combatants. Yeah, I never
16:55
Speaker 4: thought of it.
16:56
Speaker 8: Thank you. You just brought that to mind. Well, we
17:00
Speaker 8: were the object of that exercise.
17:03
Speaker 4: This text message came in during the break from Mary.
17:06
Speaker 4: She said, great, now I'm going to be sleepless tonight
17:10
Speaker 4: wondering if drone armies are subject to posse comitatus. Listen,
17:16
Speaker 4: you know, these are the things that... Lawyers like to
17:21
Speaker 4: claim that, well, when the law was written, these thus
17:24
Speaker 4: and such and the other thing. But I think who
17:26
Speaker 4: commands the, you know, who the drones work for is
17:30
Speaker 4: going to rule Mary. So rest easy on that. But Dr. Clark,
17:36
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, and you've served, our
17:40
Speaker 4: best ambassadors are our soldiers. Our best foreign policy is
17:45
Speaker 4: when we're the liberators. And our American media is filling
17:53
Speaker 4: the vacuum coming from Washington. And President Trump has all
17:59
Speaker 4: the access to the world. He's got Trump TV now
18:03
Speaker 4: that replaced the White House press corps. He could just
18:08
Speaker 4: sit there and sit down and say, listen, here, I'm
18:10
Speaker 4: going to tell you what's going on and why we
18:11
Speaker 4: went after Iran. I get it. If I can get it,
18:15
Speaker 4: everyone can get it. I'm a kid, a product of
18:18
Speaker 4: New York City public high schools. If I can grasp
18:22
Speaker 4: the geopolitical reason that we bombed Iran, aside from getting
18:28
Speaker 4: Vince Vance some more downloads on Spotify, I think the
18:32
Speaker 4: American people can, Clark. Am I selling ourselves too short?
18:35
Speaker 8: I don't think so. And, yeah, so Marine Corps policy
18:41
Speaker 8: is we are ambassadors in green.
18:43
Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
18:46
Speaker 8: Ambassadors in Green.
18:49
Speaker 16: Yep.
18:50
Speaker 8: That's Marine Corps policy.
18:52
Speaker 20: Sure.
18:53
Speaker 4: Puppies and little children.
18:55
Speaker 7: Yeah.
18:58
Speaker 4: Absolutely. And our occupation of Iraq. There was a great song.
19:02
Speaker 4: I have to go find it. It's called God's Amazing Grace.
19:07
Speaker 4: It was written by an Army soldier. Don't hold it
19:10
Speaker 4: against him. I have to say that to the Marines.
19:14
Speaker 4: But he was stationed in the Green Zone in Baghdad,
19:17
Speaker 4: and perhaps here on the anniversary of our departure from Baghdad,
19:23
Speaker 4: less than 20 hours since our ending of that Iraqi incursion.
19:28
Speaker 4: I should go get that. It's a CD somewhere. I'll
19:32
Speaker 4: have to go find a CD player as well, Clark.
19:34
Speaker 4: But anyway, good stuff, sir. You have a great morning.
19:38
Speaker 1: Keep doing it.
19:39
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. Well, as long as you're listening, we'll do it.
19:41
Speaker 4: And as long as we have great friends like the
19:44
Speaker 4: folks at jcsgold.com, jcsgold.com is everything. place to go get
19:51
Speaker 4: gold and silver and invest in it. But unlike all
19:53
Speaker 4: the other places, it's a family business. They're not there
19:57
Speaker 4: upselling you or trying to make a quota by the
19:59
Speaker 4: end of the week. They just want to help you
20:01
Speaker 4: make good decisions on it. And if that isn't comforting,
20:05
Speaker 4: I don't know what is. James Luck is a fourth
20:08
Speaker 4: generation investor. of this family running jcsgold.com. Good morning, James.
20:12
Speaker 4: How are you doing, sir? I'm doing well, Joe.
20:16
Speaker 21: And gold and silver are both still on discount this morning,
20:19
Speaker 21: right at the multi-week.
20:21
Speaker 4: Support levels here.
20:23
Speaker 21: Gold is up a quarter of a percent, up $ 9
20:24
Speaker 21: to $ 4, 166. Silver is up about a half of a
20:26
Speaker 21: percent to $ 60.

Speaker 4: Yeah, so it seems like 41 and 60 are the
20:41
Speaker 4: floorboards right now for where they are. But if you
20:46
Speaker 4: look at graphs, which you can find at jcsgold.com, you'll
20:49
Speaker 4: see that gold and silver sort of plateau for a
20:53
Speaker 4: while and then they move again. Yeah, that's right.
20:57
Speaker 21: Gold and silver have a breakout run and then they
21:00
Speaker 21: kind of consolidate and chop sideways in a channel and
21:04
Speaker 21: then drop and find support and same thing, kind of
21:07
Speaker 21: build that base and which gives our clients a lot
21:09

23:10
Speaker 22: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, SUV, or light truck,
23:14
Speaker 22: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
23:16
Speaker 22: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
23:20
Speaker 22: That's what you should use. But there are exceptions to
23:23
Speaker 22: the rule. Many high-end or luxury vehicles call for premium
23:26
Speaker 22: or higher octane fuel. And the reason for this is
23:29
Speaker 22: not just due to the octane rating. There are better
23:31
Speaker 22: fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know, too,
23:35
Speaker 22: that vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
23:37
Speaker 22: with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
23:40
Speaker 22: their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
23:44
Speaker 22: your fuel choices around, say, every third tankful, you may
23:47
Speaker 22: find better performance and miles per gallon because you are
23:50
Speaker 22: cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive. Just
23:53
Speaker 22: don't tell your mechanic you're trying to replace them anytime soon.

27:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
27:33
Speaker 19: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking

Speaker 24: We didn't make talk radio. We made it better. First
28:15
Speaker 24: Thing Today by Joe Thomas.
28:18
Speaker 4: On the talk radio. And I mentioned this. Technology and
28:33
Speaker 4: war go together. And to be fair, I think that
28:37
Speaker 4: there is a real case to be made that a
28:41
Speaker 4: good deal of our technological innovations have come from the battlefield.
28:46
Speaker 4: I don't think that that's an overtly controversial thing to say.
28:50
Speaker 4: If you do, by all means, 434-882-4217. It's like Werner
28:59
Speaker 4: Von Braun's autobiography, I Shoot for the Stars, and Mart
29:04
Speaker 4: Sol's comment, and sometimes you hit London. The idea that
29:12
Speaker 4: There is a battle to be waged. And let's take
29:16
Speaker 4: a look at the border skirmish that twixt Russia and Ukraine.
29:27
Speaker 4: Treaties broken, agreements made, agreements disparaged because they weren't made
29:37
Speaker 4: by current leadership. Arguments about the global outside entanglements manipulating
29:48
Speaker 4: the positions. All of the window dressing goes back into
29:56
Speaker 4: Russia needs the Ukraine. Or Russia needs Ukraine, I'm sorry.
30:01
Speaker 4: Bad American. Can't just say Ukraine without feeling like there
30:06
Speaker 4: should be a modifier on that. Russia needs the region
30:12
Speaker 4: of the old Soviet Union called the Ukraine. That's a
30:16
Speaker 4: Cold War thing. It wasn't an autonomous state. It was
30:21
Speaker 4: a region of the Soviet Union. Arguments from Vladimir Putin's
30:29
Speaker 4: administration is that this is where Russia was born. But
30:37
Speaker 4: the reality is, it's the rare earth minerals, it's the
30:41
Speaker 4: natural resources, it's the access to the ports, it's the agriculture.
30:53
Speaker 4: And when Ukraine became an independent state, I was on
30:58
Speaker 4: the air at the time, been doing this for a while,
31:00
Speaker 4: and I said, Russia's in big trouble. If it doesn't
31:04
Speaker 4: have free access, free unfettered access to all the agriculture
31:10
Speaker 4: out of Ukraine, it's going to have a tough time
31:14
Speaker 4: feeding its people. Now, to its benefit, Russia discovered hydraulic
31:20
Speaker 4: fracturing and had to get natural gas out of the
31:28
Speaker 4: places like Ukraine for their agriculture but they still have
31:32
Speaker 4: to pay for it. Every invasion that is meant to
31:45
Speaker 4: lead to occupation is because one country has something the
31:50
Speaker 4: other wants. Germany wanted to take over England, not because
31:57
Speaker 4: they liked mushy peas, but because they had this North
32:04
Speaker 4: Sea access. And as long as Britain was on the
32:08
Speaker 4: other side, the North Sea was going to be a
32:10
Speaker 4: problem for the Germans. Japan built a giant navy because
32:19
Speaker 4: they were afraid of China and in the South China Sea.
32:31
Speaker 4: And that we were sort of supportive of supporting the idea.
32:36
Speaker 4: So this isn't all new to us. We, and this
32:43
Speaker 4: is the important part of the World War II Museum
32:46
Speaker 4: down there in New Orleans, the final pavilion is about
32:50
Speaker 4: the liberators. Who are we liberating? And in the war
32:58
Speaker 4: on terror, the argument can be made, we're liberating the
33:02
Speaker 4: free societies of the world from the shadow of terror,
33:07
Speaker 4: where people will walk up and just start killing people.
33:11
Speaker 4: And the argument is always, and it's heartbreaking because people
33:16
Speaker 4: try to have this both ways. Lots of civilians died
33:24
Speaker 4: in World War II. So the argument is civilians are
33:30
Speaker 4: just part of the enemy combatants because we need to
33:37
Speaker 4: enact such a civilian toll as to make the political
33:40
Speaker 4: leaders end their conflict, quit and raise the white flag.
33:50
Speaker 4: The peril in that, of course, is you create esprit
33:53
Speaker 4: de corps, a victim, you know, and us versus them entrenchments.
34:00
Speaker 4: But while Pete Hegseth is talking about the future of
34:04
Speaker 4: modern warfare, I think it's important also to note that
34:09
Speaker 4: while the tech changes, the reasonings for these battles, the
34:17
Speaker 4: reasonings for these invasions have not changed. part of what
34:24
Speaker 4: made the Civil War a bloodbath is we invented automatic
34:28
Speaker 4: firing rifles. And we were still using 16th century tactics.
34:37
Speaker 4: But we could stand on the hillside across from our
34:42
Speaker 4: opponents and fire off automatic machine guns, the Gatling gun,
34:49
Speaker 4: and just mow down whether they be Navy, it was
34:56
Speaker 4: gray first, and then the southern states got a hold
35:00
Speaker 4: of a few and started turning them on the northerners.
35:05
Speaker 4: And it was a meat grinder because technology had outstripped
35:09
Speaker 4: our tactics. So understanding the tactics of war is good,
35:15
Speaker 4: but the ultimate tactic is that the armies that will
35:21
Speaker 4: march with God are the ones who are liberating his children. Period.
35:27
Speaker 4: The reason the United States has had the history it
35:31
Speaker 4: has had militarily is because we march to, when we're successful,
35:39
Speaker 4: liberate people from their oppressors. Whether we do it with
35:45
Speaker 4: drones or not, So, and that's the part that is
35:49
Speaker 4: important in this kind of statecraft, if you will. And
35:59
Speaker 4: I just want to make sure that, and this becomes
36:03
Speaker 4: a presidential issue because the Secretary of War is a
36:07
Speaker 4: presidential appointee, that the future generations would be The accessibility
36:17
Speaker 4: of drone warfare. I'm not... Where did that email go?
36:21
Speaker 4: It was about a half hour ago. I received an email.
36:25
Speaker 4: Put it aside. Oh, there it is. Bob writes in.
36:30
Speaker 4: He says, aren't you the guy that says technology is
36:36
Speaker 4: just an inanimate object? Why are you afraid of drone armies, Joe?
36:42
Speaker 4: They're still going to be controlled by humans. It's the
36:45
Speaker 4: humans that we need to worry about. What's their agenda?
36:49
Speaker 4: Why are they fighting the war? Yeah, I agree. And
36:53
Speaker 4: you're right. I am the guy that says that Smith
36:56
Speaker 4: and Wesson sitting on the table across from me isn't
36:59
Speaker 4: going to hurt anyone until I pick it up and
37:03
Speaker 4: ask it to. All these AI hacks, all these AI
37:09
Speaker 4: insertions into other people's web servers is all because a
37:18
Speaker 4: human being told it to do that or told it
37:22
Speaker 4: it was permissible to do that to carry out its mission.
37:28
Speaker 4: We need to make Americans as great as we can
37:31
Speaker 4: be so that America, by her behavior at our behest,
37:36
Speaker 4: will be great. It's tough to fit that on a
37:40
Speaker 4: bumper sticker, though. But you're right, a drone army is
37:46
Speaker 4: only as good as the Secretary of War, and vis-a-vis
37:49
Speaker 4: from that, extrapolate the President. And so we need to
37:58
Speaker 4: make sure that we're judiciously looking at who.
38:01
Speaker 17: Can you believe, with all the recent violent protests, looting,
38:05
Speaker 17: and destruction, some areas are considering either defunding.
38:08
Speaker 4: Or abolishing the police?
38:11
Speaker 17: At a time when America's neighborhoods need the protection of
38:14
Speaker 17: police the most, some elected officials would rather create more
38:17
Speaker 17: chaos by playing politics. If you're sick of elected officials
38:21
Speaker 17: caving in to demands of the radical left, you're not alone.
38:25
Speaker 17: It's time we stand up and declare our support for
38:28
Speaker 17: local police. The majority of police officers are important partners
38:32

Speaker 11: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
39:07
Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
39:13
Speaker 11: I'm Dr.
39:14
Speaker 4: Mitch.
39:14
Speaker 11: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
39:20
Speaker 11: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
39:24
Speaker 11: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
39:29
Speaker 11: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
39:33
Speaker 11: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation has antioxidant
39:38
Speaker 11: properties and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or
39:43
Speaker 11: at least slow the spread of cancer and in many
39:46
Speaker 11: instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells
39:52

Speaker 25: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
40:10
Speaker 25: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you

Speaker 25: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
40:17

40:21
Speaker 25: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
40:26
Speaker 25: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
40:29
Speaker 25: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
40:33
Speaker 25: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
40:38
Speaker 25: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
40:43
Speaker 25: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
40:46
Speaker 25: enforcement arm the Office of the Inspector General at oig.ssa.gov.
40:54
Speaker 25: Share this information with your friends and family.
40:59
Speaker 4: Hi, everybody.
40:59
Speaker 26: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
41:01
Speaker 26: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
41:04
Speaker 26: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
41:06
Speaker 26: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
41:09
Speaker 26: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes.
41:12
Speaker 4: Who work hard to provide for their young.
41:14
Speaker 26: Or penguins, who travel up to 500 miles to secure
41:17
Speaker 26: food for their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump
41:21
Speaker 26: allows them to navigate the trees and the wild in
41:23
Speaker 26: search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by
41:26
Speaker 26: our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are our
41:29
Speaker 26: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
41:32
Speaker 26: they also perform life-saving work every day. Dogs keep us
41:35
Speaker 26: safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom
41:38
Speaker 26: suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when
41:41
Speaker 26: there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have
41:44
Speaker 26: a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society
41:46
Speaker 26: and help those in need. So please join me and
41:49
Speaker 26: American Humane in supporting our heroic working dogs and all
41:52
Speaker 26: the amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go
41:55

Speaker 3: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
42:01
Speaker 7: Oh, yeah?
42:02
Speaker 19: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
42:04
Speaker 14: And now a speech.
42:07
Speaker 2: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
42:10
Speaker 4: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
42:13
Speaker 26: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
42:15
Speaker 19: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
42:18
Speaker 19: somebody call me a ride.
42:19
Speaker 23: Love that guy.
42:20
Speaker 8: Me too.
42:21
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 27: Did you know that more than half our household energy
42:31
Speaker 27: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
42:35
Speaker 27: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
42:40
Speaker 27: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
42:42
Speaker 27: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
42:46
Speaker 27: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
42:52
Speaker 27: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
42:55
Speaker 27: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
42:59
Speaker 27: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a

Speaker 18: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
43:35

43:58
Speaker 6: Bottom of my boots, sure I'm getting warm.
44:06
Speaker 7: Here is the sound of thousands of.
44:24
Speaker 1: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
44:28
Speaker 1: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
44:31
Speaker 4: Found the original version. I've got the CD somewhere that
44:38
Speaker 4: Hank Jr. produced.
44:41
Speaker 6: Bottom of my boots, sure I'm getting warm. There's a
44:46
Speaker 6: lot of holes in this faded uniform. My hands are
44:52
Speaker 6: black dirt and so is my face I ain't never
44:58
Speaker 6: been to hell but it couldn't be any worse than
45:01
Speaker 6: this place I tell my wife no words cause I
45:06
Speaker 6: know what to do It makes me feel better sometimes
45:10
Speaker 6: and I don't know if it's true I know if
45:15
Speaker 6: I die well it's just my time to go But
45:20
Speaker 6: I pray to God every day that.
45:22
Speaker 4: I may get back on.
45:25
Speaker 6: But when you say you want the same thing, it
45:28
Speaker 6: don't seem so bad.
45:29
Speaker 4: You quit worrying about.
45:31
Speaker 6: What you ain't got and thank God for what you have.
45:36
Speaker 6: Because I could be raising my family in this place.
45:40
Speaker 6: But I was born in America. God's amazing grace.
45:48
Speaker 4: So he and a buddy recorded that in the green
45:50
Speaker 4: zone in Baghdad probably 11 or so years ago. And
46:00
Speaker 4: it's one of those rare stories where I actually think
46:04
Speaker 4: the internet lived up to all the promises it made about, quote,
46:09
Speaker 4: democratizing entertainment, breaking the grip of the big media conglomerates
46:17
Speaker 4: who all started to buy the internet companies like Comcast,
46:22
Speaker 4: so this sucks to be you. But every now and then,
46:28
Speaker 4: a Colby Calais or a Luke Strickland, so what made
46:31
Speaker 4: it compelling is he posts this video of him and
46:34
Speaker 4: his buddy just kind of sitting there in their fatigues,
46:43
Speaker 4: playing guitar and singing this song, American by God's Amazing Grace.
46:49
Speaker 4: And they post it to YouTube, and they go back
46:52
Speaker 4: to their business of being soldiers, and it blows up.
46:58
Speaker 4: It is one of those rare places where you can't
47:01
Speaker 4: overstate how many people downloaded it, watched it, YouTube, and
47:10
Speaker 4: one of those people You may have heard the name
47:13
Speaker 4: Hank Williams. Several Hank Williams of some repute. This is
47:18
Speaker 4: Hank Jr. Fell in love with the song. And so
47:28
Speaker 4: when Luke Strickland was done with his tour in Afghanistan...
47:38
Speaker 4: Hank met him at the airport. The story is he
47:42
Speaker 4: met him at the airport and sent a car for
47:44
Speaker 4: him and said, brother, you need to record this with
47:48
Speaker 4: a band and actually do it the right way. And okay.
48:02
Speaker 4: And it's a great version. But Luke, and this is
48:06
Speaker 4: what makes Luke's story so refreshing. I interviewed him after
48:10
Speaker 4: the album came out. And there's some really neat songs
48:14
Speaker 4: on this album, like Fixer Upper is a really cool song.
48:25
Speaker 4: But he didn't want it. It's not like he's out
48:28
Speaker 4: there on tour. He hasn't recorded 10 albums yet. And,
48:33
Speaker 4: you know, is still, you know, rolling. That's what makes
48:36
Speaker 4: this story refreshing. Is that he wasn't one of those
48:43
Speaker 4: guys that was like, hey, I'm going to capitalize on this.
48:53
Speaker 4: So you can find it out there. It's out there
48:56
Speaker 4: on Spotify and places like that. But it's hard to find.
49:08
Speaker 4: But on this, the day after we finally ended the
49:11
Speaker 4: occupation of Iraq that he was part of when he
49:14
Speaker 4: wrote that, I just thought it was notable to put
49:18
Speaker 4: it into the the music rotation. Just to, you know,
49:32
Speaker 4: historical context, but also to make my point, of the
49:36
Speaker 4: soldiers being our best ambassadors, what Clark was saying, and
49:41
Speaker 4: talking about what you might lose if we become overly
49:49
Speaker 4: reliant on drones and autonomous planes and ships. Because he
50:03
Speaker 4: told me the stories. This is, gosh, 06, 05 when
50:09
Speaker 4: he was on my program. And he said it was
50:14
Speaker 4: building playgrounds for kids, playing soccer with them, learning soccer
50:19
Speaker 4: from them. This kid from the Appalachian South didn't know soccer.
50:30
Speaker 4: But it's harder to rally against the American army when
50:37
Speaker 4: you've met the American army. And I'm cadre full of
50:44
Speaker 4: emails saying I'm overstating the concern that Pete Hegseth's right.
50:51
Speaker 4: This is the same moment that we learned how to
50:55
Speaker 4: make ballistic missiles. We learned how to fly airplanes off
51:02
Speaker 4: of boats. These are those kind of technological moments. Absolutely.
51:08
Speaker 4: I mean, there's still a raging debate in the military
51:11
Speaker 4: world as to the efficacy of some of our military bases,
51:15
Speaker 4: considering an aircraft carrier is ostensibly a military base. But
51:20
Speaker 4: one last thought on the technology of war. The more
51:29
Speaker 4: heavily reliant you become on technology, the more you need
51:33
Speaker 4: to be concerned about the EMP, the electromagnetic pulse that
51:41
Speaker 4: puts you back into the 16th century. Because it creates,
51:52
Speaker 4: if you become overly reliant on something, it creates a fragility.
51:58
Speaker 4: Because then if you become so reliant on this one
52:01
Speaker 4: thing working, well, then all we have to do is
52:04
Speaker 4: break that one thing and we win. So it is
52:11
Speaker 4: what it is. You're right. I mean, it's not like
52:13
Speaker 4: we're going to say, oh, we shouldn't have invented the
52:16
Speaker 4: automatically firing rifle or the airplane or the airship or
52:25
Speaker 4: then the ability to sail a giant ship full of
52:29
Speaker 4: airplanes close to where you're causing a ruckus and deposit
52:36
Speaker 4: a military base right outside your major seaport. Sorry, it's
52:41
Speaker 4: just us. We're here. We're going to fly some sorties,
52:46
Speaker 4: ballistic missiles, all these things. Yes. but it's about who
52:50
Speaker 4: leads the.
52:51
Speaker 20: You know, it's true. Difficult times have a way of
52:53
Speaker 20: focusing us. We have to think about what matters most
52:57
Speaker 20: when it comes to our spending, our healthcare. This is
52:59
