• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Joe works at a steel mill.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: He's down here every day.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Leaves for work when the sun comes up.
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: Drops the kids to school and all the way.
• 0:19
  Speaker 5: Joe has everything he dreamed of. All the treasures that
• 0:22
  Speaker 5: he needs.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:27
  Speaker 6: He only aims to please you.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Let me be your Thank you for letting us be
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: of service to you this morning. This somber 25th anniversary
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: where we should be remembering. What the hell was that?
• 0:58
  Speaker 7: It's not like a plane crash.
• 0:59
  Speaker 8: Immediately, there's speculation or cause for concern. This is the
• 1:03
  Speaker 8: World Trade Center that was the center of a terrorist
• 1:05
  Speaker 8: bombing some years ago. So the questions have to be asked,
• 1:08
  Speaker 8: was this purely an accident or could this have been
• 1:11
  Speaker 8: an intentional act? But either way, extensive damage.
• 1:13
  Speaker 9: What's this other.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Jet doing?
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: What's this other jet doing?
• 1:19
  Speaker 10: Holy crap!
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: That's how six, seven floors were taken out.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: And there's more explosions right now.
• 1:32
  Speaker 11: Hold on, people are running.
• 1:34
  Speaker 12: Hold on.
• 1:34
  Speaker 13: Hold on just a moment.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: We've got an explosion inside.
• 1:37
  Speaker 14: The building's exploding right now.
• 1:39
  Speaker 15: You've got people running up the street.
• 1:40
  Speaker 16: Hold on, I'll tell you what's going on.
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: Oh, my God.
• 1:43
  Speaker 17: Another plane has just hit another building.
• 1:47
  Speaker 18: Flew right into the middle of it.
• 1:49
  Speaker 7: Explosion.
• 1:49
  Speaker 18: Oh, my God.
• 1:51
  Speaker 11: It's right in the middle of the building.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: And here we are.
• 2:00
  Speaker 13: I know I said I love you.
• 2:04
  Speaker 19: I know you.
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: Know it's true.
• 2:07
  Speaker 7: I'm not to put the phone down.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: You do all we got.
• 2:12
  Speaker 13: One's standing in the highway.
• 2:15
  Speaker 11: Two more at the door.
• 2:18
  Speaker 7: We got to get inside there before they kill someone.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Live from the Flight 93 Memorial, where the punctuation mark,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: and I think the most important punctuation mark on that
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: day 25 years ago, took place here in a former
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: strip mine in western Pennsylvania, 40 passengers, and a memorial that,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: as I said yesterday when we were live from here,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: rivals only the Arizona Memorial in terms of beauty to
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: overwhelm the ugly that took place here, if that makes
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: any sense to you. And I hope it does, because
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: you and I spend a lot of time together. But
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: when you put beauty, you almost say to those who
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: wanted to do you harm, take that. And when you
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: look at the Arizona Memorial, and I think this one
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: here in Shanksville rivals what is done at the Arizona
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Memorial in Hawaii. But our first things this morning, many
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: things going on in the here and now. I don't
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: believe in the word regret, President Trump said yesterday in
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: an interview from the floor of the convention center in Dallas,
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: where the RNC midterm convention was going on. He was
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: asked if he regretted the Iran war due to the
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: impact it may have on the elections. If I had
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: to do it again, I would do it exactly as
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: I did, Trump said. Meanwhile, an appeals court yesterday upheld
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: a block, a temporary injunction against the executive order prohibiting
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: the U.S. Postal Service from delivering ballots in states that
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: hadn't verified their voter rolls. The stay on the order
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: allows states to continue to deliver mail-in ballots without verifying
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: whether the recipient is actually still there or not. Back
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: to Dallas, Vice President J.D. Vance told Republicans Thursday that
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: it's every American child's right to affordable homes, clean food,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: and safe schools, a speech that has raised some eyebrows.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: President Trump said he did. We did that story already.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: We can move forward. Justice Department has expanded its nationwide
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: legal challenge to state policies, providing in-state college tuition to
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: illegal aliens, filing lawsuits against four additional jurisdictions, bringing the
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: total number of cases to 25. Latest complaints target Hawaii, Arkansas, Utah,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: and the District of Columbia. Controversial proposal for a $ 5, 000
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: dividend for adult U.S. citizens is drawing support from the
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: RNC convention. Ohio Senator Bernie Marino is already pledging to
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: write the legislation to put the plan into effect. Kansas
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Senator Roger Marshall also said he supported the idea. And
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: those are some of our first things here brought to
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: you by Big Ridge Guns and Archery and the Heritage
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Guide to Historic Sites.
• 5:52
  Speaker 20: Every state is home to significant historic sites that tell
• 5:55
  Speaker 20: the American story. But not every site is telling that
• 5:58
  Speaker 20: story honestly and fairly. That's why the Heritage Foundation created
• 6:03
  Speaker 20: the Heritage Guide.
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: To Historic Sites.
• 6:05
  Speaker 20: This interactive guide equips American citizens with the tools they
• 6:09
  Speaker 20: need to enjoy the sites that depict some of the
• 6:12
  Speaker 20: greatest moments in our nation's history, analyzing them for historical accuracy,
• 6:17
  Speaker 20: and provides resources for families or educators planning a visit.
• 6:22
  Speaker 20: It currently covers over 45 sites in the 13 original colonies.
• 6:26
  Speaker 20: but sites from all 50 states will be added in
• 6:29
  Speaker 20: time for citizens to celebrate America 250 this summer. From
• 6:33
  Speaker 20: Mount Vernon to Independence Hall to Gettysburg and more, Americans
• 6:37
  Speaker 20: deserve transparency and sites that steward our history faithfully deserve
• 6:43
  Speaker 20: our gratitude. The Heritage Guide to Historic Sites invites every
• 6:46
  Speaker 20: American to rediscover the places and stories that define our nation,
• 6:51
  Speaker 20: whether it's across the country or in your backyard. Visit historicsites.heritage.org

• 7:01
  Speaker 15: Let's see, if something costs less, a lot less, but
• 7:04
  Speaker 15: people are actually happier with it, that sounds like something
• 7:07
  Speaker 15: to look into.
• 7:08
  Speaker 21: And that's Metashare.
• 7:10
  Speaker 15: Maybe you've heard joining MediShare can save you or your
• 7:12
  Speaker 15: family up to 500 bucks a month, and that's huge,
• 7:15
  Speaker 15: but it's also true. People are just happier with it.
• 7:18
  Speaker 15: They love being part of something that reflects and promotes
• 7:21
  Speaker 15: their values and what they believe in.
• 7:23
  Speaker 21: MediShare works, too.
• 7:24
  Speaker 15: It's been around for 30 years now, and members have
• 7:27
  Speaker 15: shared more than $ 7 billion of each other's bills. People
• 7:31
  Speaker 15: love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network, so
• 7:34
  Speaker 15: MediShare Yeah, really, you can save a ton and like
• 7:37
  Speaker 15: it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
• 7:40
  Speaker 15: of your health care, whether you're self-employed or part of
• 7:42
  Speaker 15: the gig economy, or you just want a plan that
• 7:45
  Speaker 15: you're happy with.

  Speaker 3: 855-SHARE-40.
• 7:53
  Speaker 21: Crime across the country is at an all-time high.
• 8:05
  Speaker 11: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
• 8:07
  Speaker 11: a risk. We don't want the feeling of being unprotected
• 8:10
  Speaker 11: and vulnerable. We found GetCCL.com. GetCCL.com gave us the help

  Speaker 22: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 9:05
  Speaker 22: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
• 9:09
  Speaker 22: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 9:13
  Speaker 19: Oh, yes!
• 9:15
  Speaker 23: Yes!
• 9:16
  Speaker 22: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food made into your
• 9:20
  Speaker 22: favorite form of ear candy.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Oh, my.
• 9:24
  Speaker 22: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 9:27
  Speaker 18: Shh.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Do you smell that?
• 9:30
  Speaker 14: Shh.
• 9:32
  Speaker 22: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is Goodwill.
• 9:38
  Speaker 22: And with every item you buy, you fund local job
• 9:41
  Speaker 22: training and more. So go forth. Bring home those donut earrings.
• 9:48
  Speaker 22: And bring home so.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Much good to your community.
• 9:53
  Speaker 13: Goodwill.
• 9:54
  Speaker 22: Bring good home.
• 9:57
  Speaker 18: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 10:02
  Speaker 18: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 10:08
  Speaker 18: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 10:12
  Speaker 18: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 10:15
  Speaker 18: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 10:21
  Speaker 18: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 10:24
  Speaker 18: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:27
  Speaker 18: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:32
  Speaker 18: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 10:36
  Speaker 18: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 10:40
  Speaker 18: Eat better. Get moving. Visit checkupamerica.org or call 1-800-DIABETES, a
• 10:47
  Speaker 18: message from the American Diabetes Association.
• 10:50
  Speaker 9: My name is Jim. I'm a veteran, and I lost
• 10:52
  Speaker 9: both legs in Vietnam. My victory was proving that disability
• 10:56
  Speaker 9: is not a limitation.
• 10:58
  Speaker 13: I'm Julius. I'm a veteran. My victory was going from
• 11:01
  Speaker 13: homeless to home.
• 11:03
  Speaker 12: At DAV, we're on a mission, helping veterans of all
• 11:06
  Speaker 12: generations get the benefits they've earned.
• 11:09
  Speaker 17: I'm CeCe.
• 11:10
  Speaker 18: My victory was finishing my education.
• 11:12
  Speaker 12: When America's veterans win, we all win. Help us support
• 11:16
  Speaker 12: more victories for veterans. Go to DAV.org.

• 11:47
  Speaker 4: No word in the English language is less convincing.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Then probably.
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: Are you sure we should get matching tattoos on our
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: first date?
• 11:55
  Speaker 15: Sure.
• 11:56
  Speaker 17: We'll probably stay together.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Probably?
• 11:59
  Speaker 10: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: I can probably swim.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: Okay, don't tell me what to do. Cannonball!
• 12:11
  Speaker 19: Cramp!
• 12:13
  Speaker 13: I have a cramp.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: I can probably hit the green from here.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Probably....
• 12:23
  Speaker 16: Can I get a mulligan?
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: Ready to go?
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.
• 12:32
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 12:35
  Speaker 25: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 12:39
  Speaker 25: and driving.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: If you're drinking, call a cab, a car, or a friend.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message brought to you
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: by NHTSA and the Ad Council.
• 12:47
  Speaker 24: You know the legal drinking age is 21. You may
• 12:50
  Speaker 24: also know this law protects teens. Find out more at DontServeTeens.gov.
• 12:56
  Speaker 24: A message from the We Don't Serve Teens program and
• 12:58
  Speaker 24: the Federal Trade Commission.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Taunt Media Network.
• 13:17
  Speaker 26: Hi.
• 13:17
  Speaker 23: Hi.
• 13:23
  Speaker 9: As long as you've got truth.
• 13:25
  Speaker 23: Don't ever stop.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: You're on the air. Electricity helps. As long as you've
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: got love. What's on your mind? So as we join
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: you this morning from the Flight 93 Memorial, actually, you know,
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: yesterday was, this is much more like it was 20
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: years ago when we were here for the 5th anniversary
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: of of the terror attacks on this nation because there
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: was no facility. There was no building. There was a
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: chain-link fence and a bunch of folks who had just
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: come to Shanksville and expressed sympathy, gratitude, love, prayer for
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: those who had sacrificed their lives on Flight 93. This
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: is the best. I'm going to tell you something. I'm
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: just going to do this for a minute. Gotta love
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: it when the motorcycle community arrives. And they must have
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: been mustering up at the Tower of Voices because you
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: know what? I may have been short with some people
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: around me when we had to move. We had to
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: move because where our broadcast site was was actually where
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: The motorcycle parking here is at the Flight 93 Memorial.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: And you know what? It's worth it, these guys. So
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: the motorcycle community has arrived here in Shanksville. And if
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: you're on a motorcycle listening to us and we're saying,
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: I'm not there yet, there'll be room for you. But
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: they know how to make an entrance. The motorcycle community
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: does all sorts of different ones. Indians, hogs. Suzuki's. It
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: doesn't make a difference. Honda's. And they're getting them parked
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: up here. They're going to make this quite a scene here.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: I think the first speechifying begins at about 8.30 here.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Still being quiet about who's scheduled to be here. J.D.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Vance is supposed to be in New York at the
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: Ground Zero Memorial. And The president will be at the Pentagon.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: We've heard rumblings about John Fetterman and Senator McCormick, Mike
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: McCormick being here, Governor Shapiro might be coming as well.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: So the security is obviously big. I can tell you
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: nobody in the executive branch is going to be here.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: You know how I know that? No Secret Service. So
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: without the Secret Service here, We're probably not seeing any,
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: you know, George W. Bush or Barack Obama or any
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: other former presidents unless they've got it down to such
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: a system. Usually any place on the facility is going
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: to require Secret Service scrutiny. But, you know, the security
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: is very tight here. But anyway, I wanted to... A
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: couple of people have emailed about J.D. Vance's speech. And
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: I want to.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: You pick up on where some of the concerns are
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: in the rhetoric and bring it back to what we
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: talked about in the past with the phrase you've heard
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: me use, the Overton window. Because, you know, what you
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: do if you want to move somebody in a direction
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: and you can use the Overton window to the right
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: or the left. Conservatives, and this is something they learned
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: about with Donald Trump. If you want to pursue conservative governance,
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: you can use the Overton window just as much as
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: the left can. It's just the thing. It's not political
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: based on, you know, oh, the only leftists read Saul Alinsky.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: Smart conservatives read Saul Alinsky, too. But in J.D. Vance's speech...
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: I believe that our founders built this nation on a
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: promise that echoes our creator, that every American child is
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: born an heir, is born with a birthright. And that
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: birthright he's speaking of is the birthright, and I'm not
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: mansplaining for the vice president. The birthright is the birthright
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: to pursue your happiness. And that's what's being dragged out.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: So when people hear and the press covers and they'll say, oh,
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: this is going to get people pissed off. And don't
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: kid yourself. Yes, there are newsrooms with political agendas. But
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: moreover than anything else, the agenda is who's going to
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: get their blood pressure boiling over this? Can the talk
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: show that follows the newscast take this clip and have
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: great phone calls with it at 434-882-4217. I received several emails.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: This one from Mike is indicative. What the hell is J.D.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: Vance saying that they have a right to affordable homes? See,
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: this is what happens when you push the Overton window.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: We have a right to a free market, which will
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: lead to affordable homes, but the Overton window has been
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: set up in such a way that that if you
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: don't say, and this is where the politicians are getting
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: dragged into this, if you don't say, I'm going to
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: make homes in America more affordable, you're losing. You're losing
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: because the American people have been gaslit into this corner
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: to believe that somehow the government is what makes houses affordable.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: They damn sure make them unaffordable. But We don't have
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: the politicians that are capable of going out there and saying,
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: I'm going to stop the government from doing all the
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: things that have made houses inaffordable. You and me, we
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: can talk about that because it's not my concern. I
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: love the fact that you listen, but I believe you
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: listen because I'm not going to lie to you. That
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: these folks have made the housing unaffordable. And so the
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: only way they can make it affordable is to cease
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: and desist the behaviors that led to the inaffordability of
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: our housing.
• 20:04
  Speaker 13: Period.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: End of story. So when he says every child has
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: a birthright to find things like affordable housing, I think,
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: and if we ever get a chance to talk to him,
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: I'll ask him to nuance. But the truth of the
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: matter is our birthright is a free country where we
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: can go and find housing that is not overly expensive.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: And that's the thing, so when the press gets pulled
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: in by the leftists that want to get J.D. Vance bounced,
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: because they know there are dubious Trump supporters who are,
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: I don't know about J.D. Vance, they like Marco Rubio,
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: they're behind, you know, they want Rubio to run, maybe
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: they want someone else, they want Trump to run again.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: So J.D. Vance... is doing what a lot of people
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: expected J.D. Vance to do, is run to the populism,
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: run to the hit, the easy hit of affordable housing.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: And we'll get into it some more. Max coming up
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: with sports. He promised us a little look back on sports.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: and September 11th as the motorcycle community continues to move
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: into where we were broadcasting from. And believe me, it's
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: worth it. But don't let the media wind you up,
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: because that's all they're really trying to do. They're like, oh, look, J.D.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: Vance is for government. If he is, then he shouldn't
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: be president.
• 22:01

  Speaker 6: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 24:42

  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: Thank you for joining us.
• 28:21
  Speaker 13: Oh, they have.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: You know, it was worth the move when the motorcycle
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: community arrives, and there's probably more to come, but man,
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: what a coordinated effort. Hundreds of motorcyclists just pulled in
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: here at the Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, but
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: for now, we turn our Eyes and Max said I
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: had inadvertently given him homework assignments yesterday. Please, you act
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: like I have some authority to say anything to anyone.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: Anyone who watched me this morning get bossed around by
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: a bunch of park police and state troopers. I ain't
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: got no authority on nothing. So I appreciate it, sir.

  Speaker 3: they can pursue their dreams. So you said you had homework.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: What did you find?
• 29:17
  Speaker 27: Yeah, I did have homework from, you know, Mets, Yankees,
• 29:20
  Speaker 27: New York, 9-11, since it is the 25th anniversary.
• 29:23
  Speaker 13: My thought is, just.
• 29:24
  Speaker 27: Hearing you this morning, what would it be like to
• 29:27
  Speaker 27: be a member of Shanksville Country Club?
• 29:30
  Speaker 13: That, to me, would be a little interesting.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: It was a beautiful morning. I mean, if you were
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: of such a mind, you know, all across the eastern seaboard,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: it was nary a cloud in the sky. And so
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: if you had been a member of the Somerset Country
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: Club or wherever the nearest golf club is, even a
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: par three, yeah, you might have been out 10 o'clock
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: in the morning trying to get in a quick eight.
• 30:00
  Speaker 13: Yeah, but Shanksville. I love the name.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: I do too much of it. To me, shanking is
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: just what you do with a golf ball. It's what
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: you call how you hit the golf ball. I actually
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: aim that way. I aim over there to the right,
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: and it goes.
• 30:15
  Speaker 13: Down the middle over there. Aim to the right, work
• 30:16
  Speaker 13: it back left. Hey, a lot of lessons that way.
• 30:19
  Speaker 27: All right, the Mets and the Yankees, of course, New York,
• 30:21
  Speaker 27: play a vital role and really a couple of great
• 30:24
  Speaker 27: stories to tell because the return to Shea Stadium, Major
• 30:28
  Speaker 27: League Baseball paused play following the attacks. on September 11, 2001,
• 30:34
  Speaker 27: but 10 days later then, September 21, the Mets hosted
• 30:38
  Speaker 27: the Braves at Shea Stadium in New York's first major
• 30:41
  Speaker 27: professional sporting event that made the return.
• 30:43
  Speaker 13: The crowd was filled, police officers, firefighters, rescue workers. I mean,
• 30:48
  Speaker 13: it was that kind of event.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: And, Mac, just for context, so Shea Stadium, they couldn't
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: have played baseball because that was where Everyone, that was
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: the base of operations. They said, we need a big
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: space for this operation in downtown Manhattan. So they took
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: over the parking lot and the field was for, you know, services,
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: medical services. The stadium was full for those days.
• 31:13
  Speaker 27: Yeah, but so then they finally, you know, trailing 2-1
• 31:17
  Speaker 27: in the eighth inning. And that night, catcher Mike Piazza,
• 31:20
  Speaker 27: the dramatic two-run homer that just lit up the Mets crowd.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: Lopez wants it away.
• 31:27
  Speaker 13: And it's a deep to left center.
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: Andrew Jones on the run.
• 31:30
  Speaker 13: This one has a chance.
• 31:32
  Speaker 19: Home run by Piazza.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: And the Mets lead 3-2.
• 31:36
  Speaker 17: Take a look at this.
• 31:40
  Speaker 13: He's got as much power as anybody. He's got the
• 31:44
  Speaker 13: arms extended.
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: A long home run.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: And a curtain call.
• 31:49
  Speaker 27: Yeah, and a curtain call, of course, on that special night.
• 31:53
  Speaker 27: And Bobby Valentine continued the... And players like John Franco,
• 31:57
  Speaker 27: Al Leiter, Todd Zeal, they participated in recovery and relief efforts,
• 32:01
  Speaker 27: and they were using modified police cars to shuttle supplies,
• 32:07
  Speaker 27: as you were talking about, to Shea Stadium, to Ground Zero,
• 32:09
  Speaker 27: days immediately following. But the organization now maintains the tradition
• 32:14
  Speaker 27: of visiting local New York firehouses ahead of the.
• 32:17
  Speaker 13: Anniversary, of course.
• 32:19
  Speaker 27: Well, during the 2001 World Series, then, in October— It
• 32:23
  Speaker 27: was President George Bush who threw out the first pitch
• 32:26
  Speaker 27: of the game there. It was the first of the
• 32:28
  Speaker 27: series to be played at Yankee Stadium against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Now,
• 32:32
  Speaker 27: the great part about that is that he was wearing
• 32:35
  Speaker 27: a bulletproof vest, and he is in the locker room.
• 32:38
  Speaker 27: He's down in the tunnel with Derek Jeter, and Derek
• 32:41
  Speaker 27: Jeter had a little message for President Bush.
• 32:45
  Speaker 23: For tonight's ceremonial first pitch, and please welcome the President.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: Of the United States. Oh, Bob Shepard.
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: I saw him down in the tunnel as they showed
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: there prior to the game, and he was warming up,
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: and he was asking me whether or not he should throw.
• 33:03
  Speaker 13: From the mound.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: I said, you have to throw from the mound.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's Yankee Stadium.
• 33:07
  Speaker 7: And then when I was walking out, I turned back
• 33:09
  Speaker 7: and looked at him, and I said, hey, don't bounce.
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: There's no fool you if you bounce.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: And he went out there and threw a perfect strike.
• 33:16
  Speaker 13: Yeah, and it was such an iconic, you know, time.
• 33:20
  Speaker 13: And message and everything and the way it was, you know,
• 33:23
  Speaker 13: just celebrated.
• 33:25
  Speaker 27: Security officials believe that really, you know, it was a
• 33:28
  Speaker 27: more secure location for the president did not pose the
• 33:31
  Speaker 27: same security concerns that there was talk about Bush thing
• 33:33
  Speaker 27: going to Arizona in the first game of the World Series.
• 33:38
  Speaker 27: instead of waiting until game three. But a lot of
• 33:40
  Speaker 27: people in the White House stepped in and said, not
• 33:42
  Speaker 27: so fast, George. No, let's just stay home. We'll wait
• 33:46
  Speaker 27: for the Yankees and the series to return.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: Well, I think politically, you know, doing it in New
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: York City is, you know, one thing. If the Pirates
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: had been in the World Series, that would have been
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: worth it for the price of admission, too.
• 33:59
  Speaker 13: Yeah, exactly. So anyway, on this day, we all have memories.
• 34:04
  Speaker 13: We all have what was happening.
• 34:07
  Speaker 27: I was in the newsroom immediately calling the people that
• 34:10
  Speaker 27: I had in my phone, mostly Virginia athletes who were
• 34:14
  Speaker 27: working in New York. The one that comes to mind
• 34:16
  Speaker 27: was Willie Dersh. Willie was a guard that played. for
• 34:19
  Speaker 27: Pete Gillen during that era, and Willie was actually working
• 34:24
  Speaker 27: close to Ground Zero. Remember, we got him on the
• 34:28
  Speaker 27: phone and we talked to him, but just watching the
• 34:30
  Speaker 27: newsroom react and how everybody really around the country reacted.
• 34:35
  Speaker 27: There is a wonderful story that, and Bob Rotella won't
• 34:39
  Speaker 27: mind me telling it because he will not talk about it,
• 34:41
  Speaker 27: and I heard it just days after On the Golf Channel,
• 34:44
  Speaker 27: and Bob said it would be the last time that
• 34:46
  Speaker 27: he ever talks about it, but Bob was actually on a, well,
• 34:49
  Speaker 27: I'd have to count the planes, but there was a
• 34:51
  Speaker 27: plane leaving Dallas.
• 34:52
  Speaker 13: Bob had an appointment to go speak at Pepsi-Cola.
• 34:55
  Speaker 27: I think it was Pepsi on the West Coast, and
• 34:58
  Speaker 27: he had a speech planned.
• 34:59
  Speaker 13: And he was on the plane that was.
• 35:02
  Speaker 27: Getting ready, which would have been number five and was
• 35:04
  Speaker 27: headed for the Capitol. And they they got the terrorists
• 35:08
  Speaker 27: off the plane in time before it took off after
• 35:12
  Speaker 27: because it was kind of the last plane in order.
• 35:15
  Speaker 27: And Bob Rotella caught a cab and then, you know,
• 35:18
  Speaker 27: got back to. Glenmore country club where he lives. And,
• 35:22
  Speaker 27: and Bob doesn't talk about it. And I mean, Bob's
• 35:24
  Speaker 27: a good friend. And so I didn't step out of
• 35:26
  Speaker 27: bounds by telling the story, but Bob, Bob never ever
• 35:29
  Speaker 27: really wanted to talk about it after that, being that
• 35:32
  Speaker 27: close to what could have been just, you know, an
• 35:35
  Speaker 27: absolute tragedy. You know, the stories, the stories naturally of,
• 35:42
  Speaker 27: you know, people, making other arrangements and driving hours upon
• 35:46
  Speaker 27: hours upon hours to get home.
• 35:49
  Speaker 13: How many days were the flights shut down? Was it
• 35:52
  Speaker 13: a week?
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: It was longer than that. I think it was almost
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: a month of no fly.
• 35:59
  Speaker 13: Was that right? I couldn't remember.
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: It was tangible. Maybe it was less than that because
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: once the sporting world started coming back, teams needed to
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: get So maybe it was only of a week of time.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: It just seemed longer there. But I wanted to ask you,
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: as a sports guy, you know, it's easy to say, oh,
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: sports is trivial to certainly September 11th. But the terrorists
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: wanted us to give up who we were. And who
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: we were were baseball fans and football fans and hockey
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: and basketball fans and university alumni. And so the sooner
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: we got back to that, as trivial as a lot
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: of people wanted to make it out to sound, that
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: was a big message to people saying, no, no, no, no,
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: Mohammed Atta, You and your 10 buddies are not changing
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: who we are. And this is going to be our
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: first line to show you that we're going to keep going.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: We're going to play ball. We're going to play the
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: World Series. We're going to kick off football games. Am
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: I overstating that?
• 37:18
  Speaker 13: No, not at all. Not at all.
• 37:21
  Speaker 27: Our first road trip, because I was doing Virginia at
• 37:24
  Speaker 27: the time, the Penn State game got canceled. I talked
• 37:26
  Speaker 27: about that yesterday. It was a Thursday night game that
• 37:29
  Speaker 27: was scheduled. It got canceled that week. Then our next
• 37:32
  Speaker 27: road trip, and I don't remember if it was a
• 37:33
  Speaker 27: week or two, but we played at Clemson. I remember
• 37:37
  Speaker 27: our radio gear literally spread out.
• 37:41
  Speaker 13: All over the concourse. They literally checked everything. Every knob,
• 37:46
  Speaker 13: every wire, every microphone.
• 37:48
  Speaker 27: I mean, it was a true, you know, life changed,
• 37:51
  Speaker 27: as you well know. That's an understatement of what happened.
• 37:54
  Speaker 13: So, Joe, I'm glad you're there. What a tribute.
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: When we come back, I'll tell you a funny punchline.
• 38:00

• 44:20
  Speaker 3: That's what we do. We fight the good fights with
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: the host of the Good for America podcast, former chair
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: of the House Freedom Caucus, Bob Good. Not in Dallas
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: this morning with us, but thoughts as I don't know
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: where you were. We haven't really... had the chance to
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: talk about September 11th, but here we are on this
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: 25th anniversary. We sharing our time with you at the
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Bob, how did this hit?
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: You were on Wall Street for a while. Were you
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: down there at the time?
• 44:58
  Speaker 7: No, I never worked on Wall Street.
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: I knew you were in finance, so I guess that's
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: the stereotype, right?
• 45:06
  Speaker 7: For the lending division of Citigroup, but 9-11 is one
• 45:10
  Speaker 7: of those dates that we obviously hope never to relive
• 45:14
  Speaker 7: a date like that again. But we remember where we were.
• 45:17
  Speaker 7: We remember when we heard, when we saw, and how
• 45:22
  Speaker 7: the nation was just sort of frozen in its being
• 45:26
  Speaker 7: mesmerized by watching the impact, the aftermath, the response to
• 45:31
  Speaker 7: what took place. My family and I were living in
• 45:35
  Speaker 7: the Atlanta area at the time. And, you know, rumors
• 45:39
  Speaker 7: begin to fly and swirl as those events were unfolding.
• 45:43
  Speaker 7: And there was rumors in the Atlanta community that that
• 45:47
  Speaker 7: area was under attack as well. Tracy and I can
• 45:50
  Speaker 7: remember going to get our children from school that day.
• 45:53
  Speaker 7: Our children were just ages seven, four and two. And
• 45:56
  Speaker 7: like parents across the country, of course, trying to explain
• 45:59
  Speaker 7: to them what was taking place, what was happening as
• 46:01
  Speaker 7: they were joining us and watching what was happening on
• 46:04
  Speaker 7: television in the aftermath and the response of that terrible,
• 46:08
  Speaker 7: tragic day.
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: We were in the Atlanta area. Yeah, and you raise
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: a great point because there were, I don't want to
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: say conspiracy theories, but there were, in Buffalo, where I
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: was working at the time, there were people saying, well,
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: this military operation is here, so Niagara Falls was considered a.
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: Targets so there were you know I had to chuckle
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: last segment we were talking Bob about how long the
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: airspace was closed how long the airlines were grounded and
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: it's two days but there's an exception to that there
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: were areas like Niagara Falls like you know the Washington
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: DC area where it was much longer than that because
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: we didn't know what we didn't know but you know
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: here we are 25 years later And I look at how,
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: you know, they've turned Hamas into a marginalized community. We're
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: bad for trying to end Iran's state sponsoring of terrorism
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: because it makes my gas cost more for now because
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: it doesn't cost as much because it was cheap before
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: for some reason while they thugged up.
• 47:23
  Speaker 13: Where are we?
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: And have the terrorists managed to change who we were
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: on September 1st? 10th, 2001, from where you sit?
• 47:34
  Speaker 7: Well, I don't know that any of us would have predicted, Joe,
• 47:38
  Speaker 7: 25 years ago or 25 years and one day less
• 47:42
  Speaker 7: than that, you know, say September 12, 2001. How many
• 47:46
  Speaker 7: of us would have protected that 25 years later we
• 47:48
  Speaker 7: wouldn't have had a significant, major, large-scale terrorist event within
• 47:56
  Speaker 7: the continental United States during that 25 years? And so
• 47:59
  Speaker 7: you have to Obviously, thank God, literally, and thank those
• 48:04
  Speaker 7: who have served and sacrificed and continued to do so
• 48:07
  Speaker 7: to keep us safe. The law enforcement, first responders, our military,
• 48:12
  Speaker 7: and those who guard our shores and fight to try
• 48:16
  Speaker 7: to keep us safe every day. As those who do
• 48:19
  Speaker 7: that have said many times, they have to be right
• 48:22
  Speaker 7: every day, countless times a day, while the terrorists only
• 48:26
  Speaker 7: have to be right one time to succeed. And I
• 48:31
  Speaker 7: don't think you or I would have predicted that we'd
• 48:33
  Speaker 7: be standing here or sitting here 25 years later saying,
• 48:35
  Speaker 7: thank God we haven't had something like that happen again
• 48:38
  Speaker 7: because of the vulnerabilities that were exposed that day. The
• 48:42
  Speaker 7: nation was united in ways that we haven't seen in
• 48:47
  Speaker 7: our lifetime in the period, in the days, weeks, maybe
• 48:51
  Speaker 7: not months, but after 9-11. You also saw, Joe, it
• 48:54
  Speaker 7: changed some people. Some public figures seem to change politically.
• 49:00
  Speaker 7: seemed to change in their worldview, in their view of
• 49:02
  Speaker 7: the country. And while I can't assign this specifically to them,
• 49:06
  Speaker 7: but there were people like Leo Terrell, Alan Dershowitz, Geraldo Rivera,
• 49:11
  Speaker 7: Dennis Miller, people like that that seemed hard left pre-9-11
• 49:15
  Speaker 7: that just seemed different after 9-11 and what they would
• 49:19
  Speaker 7: attribute that. to, I'll let them say that. Some lessons
• 49:26
  Speaker 7: were learned. Some lessons were not learned. Some lessons seem
• 49:29
  Speaker 7: to have been forgotten about 9-11.
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: So I'm going to bring up another anniversary here. And
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: I know that you thought of the world of Charlie Kirk.
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: And yesterday was the one-year anniversary of the assassination of
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk. And I connected the two instances because 9-11
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: was not immediately a military. This was a terrorist attack.
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: This was, we don't like you. We don't like what
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: you stand for. We don't like that you're friends with Israel,
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: so we're going to kill people. And I believe that
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: since then, over the intervening 25 years, the idea of,
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: assassinating people you disagree with has become, I'm not going
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: to say commonplace, but it's become way less of a
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: shocking incident, Bob. Is that a fair point?
• 50:18
  Speaker 7: Sadly, I think that's true. And what's really incredible is
• 50:23
  Speaker 7: you have seen some, not the majority, let's have some
• 50:27
  Speaker 7: perspective too, but you have seen some on the left justify, rationalize,
• 50:33
  Speaker 7: support what happened to the health care executive who was
• 50:37
  Speaker 7: killed in New York City, what happened to Charlie Kirk,
• 50:42
  Speaker 7: and blame other factors other than the perpetrators of this
• 50:47
  Speaker 7: horrific violence, this murder, these heinous crimes on individuals because
• 50:53
  Speaker 7: of a political viewpoint that's different than perhaps those individuals.
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: Defending it like it's free speech.
• 51:01
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 51:02
  Speaker 26: Yes.
• 51:02
  Speaker 7: And we all also remember where we were when we heard.
• 51:05
  Speaker 7: I can remember sitting in my office at that time
• 51:08
  Speaker 7: in Farmville, my home office in Farmville, when I got
• 51:11
  Speaker 7: a text or a phone call from a friend and
• 51:14
  Speaker 7: then cut on the television, if you will, to the
• 51:16
  Speaker 7: news and began to watch and follow what had taken
• 51:19
  Speaker 7: place with Charlie Kirk. I wonder sometimes, and I thought
• 51:23
  Speaker 7: about this during the midterm convention that took place in
• 51:25
  Speaker 7: the last couple of days, is What has been the
• 51:29
  Speaker 7: impact of Charlie Kirk's, the loss of Charlie Kirk's voice
• 51:32
  Speaker 7: on the conservative movement such that it still exists and
• 51:36
  Speaker 7: the Republican Party such that it still remains a conservative party?
• 51:40
  Speaker 7: How might things have been different today if we still
• 51:44
  Speaker 7: had his strong constitutional conservative voice in the Republican Party?
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: Well, you certainly see the battle royale between people who
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: claim some associations, whether it's Candace Owens or Tucker Carlson
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: or you know, the president, you know, at J.D. Vance,
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: these folks who are all trying to insert what they
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: believe Charlie Kirk would have said about X, Y or
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: Z is is I think feeds this idea of, oh,
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: if we kill the guy that we disagree with, not
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: only does he stop disagreeing with us, but we can
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: start inserting, you know, things into his points and changing
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: them and.
• 52:52
  Speaker 9: My name is Bobby. I'm a veteran and lost my
• 52:54
  Speaker 9: leg to a roadside bomb.
• 52:56
  Speaker 25: My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a
• 52:58
  Speaker 25: weightlifting champion.
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: I'm Sam.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: I'm a veteran.
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: My victory was finding a career I can be proud
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: of and supporting my family.
• 53:06
  Speaker 12: America's veterans are on their most important tour, the tour
• 53:09
  Speaker 12: of their lives.
• 53:10
  Speaker 13: I'm a veteran.
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: My victory was going from homeless to home.
• 53:15
