  Speaker 1: Who will meet the next Charlie?
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
• 0:08
  the second most famous Thomas and Charlottesville.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: Thank you for letting us be of service to you.
• 0:13
  It's just everything is caddy wampus this morning because of
• 0:18
  the internet service outages that we suffered earlier this morning.
• 0:24
  Do we have it there? People go to get used
• 0:26
  to this stuff, George said, steal me. You're off kilter everywhere,
• 0:33
  at least for work.
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: When the sun comes up, drops a kid to scoop.
• 0:36
  Speaker 5: Then Joe has everything a dream, all.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: The treasures, needs no one that Joe's as smile.
• 0:46
  Speaker 6: He only is.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Let them be Joe. So four three, four eight eight
• 0:54
  two four two one seven. That is the phone numbers
• 0:57
  of the question is who is going to be the
• 1:01
  next Charlie? And for ten years I've been told conservatives
• 1:05
  don't listen enough. And then a conservatives out there listening
• 1:09
  and get shot doing it. And we're still told it's
• 1:12
  because conservatives don't listen enough. Live from the gas lit
• 1:19
  streets of America, our abusive spouse of a government is
• 1:24
  sending out it's best friends to counsel us that it's
• 1:29
  our fault that they do these things to us. They're
• 1:33
  buying us coffee and sitting down with us and saying,
• 1:35
  you know, you know, John Q, John Q. Public, You've
• 1:40
  been a friend of mine as long as you've known
• 1:44
  your spouse. And one of the things I can tell
• 1:46
  you is, you know, if you didn't bother him, if
• 1:49
  you didn't make him mad so much, if you did
• 1:51
  more things to serve him, why he wouldn't be so
• 1:54
  abusive to you. That's where we are. That's why I
• 1:57
  use the phrase gas lit, because they have to convince
• 2:03
  you that it is your fault that all these things
• 2:06
  are going on, that if you would just get in line,
• 2:13
  if you just would have my dinner on the table
• 2:16
  when I get home, we wouldn't have to do all
• 2:20
  these things to take away your liberty. And I know
• 2:27
  that if there are people who are like, oh, Joe,
• 2:30
  I don't know, I work in you know, and believe me,
• 2:32
  there's nothing to make light about in the world of
• 2:36
  spousal abuse. So when I point out the fact that
• 2:42
  our government is behaving like an abusive spouse, I'm doing
• 2:46
  it with the seriousness of a heart attack. And if
• 2:53
  you're joining us in progress, the turning point USA folks
• 2:57
  held their first prove me Wrong rally that was on
• 3:02
  the docket prior to Charlie Kirk's untimely demise, and within it,
• 3:09
  you know the rhetoric of well, your president started this hate. No, no,
• 3:15
  that's not where it is. Yeah, the president is pushing
• 3:20
  back on agendas that take people's liberty from them. And
• 3:27
  it is to me as clear a picture as there
• 3:32
  could possibly be of the world we're living in. Right now,
• 3:37
  we'll get to go back to the clip. Do we
• 3:39
  have it? And we have a second for a real click.
• 3:41
  This is a young fellow from Virginia Tech last night.
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: Why you support a president whose contributes to the rhetoric
• 3:48
  that got your friend Charlie killed?
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: And you see how this is all about political campaigns.
• 3:55
  It's not about right and wrong. It's about your guy
• 3:58
  versus my guy. And you know what are you fighting against?
• 4:03
  What are you fighting for? And none of it is
• 4:06
  about individual liberty. This is what I meant when I
• 4:09
  said that we have these royal battles. Every election cycle
• 4:14
  is like the Battle of Bannockburn, and we're hacking at
• 4:17
  each other with metaphorical broadswords. No, we can get back
• 4:21
  into that a little bit. We must tell you the
• 4:23
  first things this morning. White House Office of Management and
• 4:26
  Budget sent out a memo yesterday telling departments to be
• 4:31
  ready for permanent reduction in government workforce if there is
• 4:37
  a temporary government shut down on the thirtieth. Home sales
• 4:42
  surged in August, up twenty point five percent. Last month,
• 4:49
  US District Judge William Smith hit the Administration of Broadside
• 4:53
  again in Providence courtroom, siding with twenty states led by Democrats,
• 4:59
  challenging additions of emergency grants from the US Department of
• 5:05
  Homeland Security regarding ice and Immigration's enforcement. The administration is
• 5:12
  reviewing MIFFA pristone for safety concerns. Marty McCarey and Robert F.
• 5:17
  Kennedy Junior will change the risk evaluation in mitigation strategy
• 5:22
  requirements due to recent studies questioning the abortion pills safety.
• 5:30
  Former FBI director James Comy is expected to be indicted
• 5:34
  in the Eastern District of Virginia. Amongst the charges, will
• 5:40
  most likely be lying to Congress during his testimony on
• 5:43
  September thirtieth of twenty twenty about whether he authorized leaks
• 5:48
  of information and law enforcement officials have identified the shooter
• 5:53
  or open fire on an ice detention location in Dallas

  Speaker 4: For veterans concerned about their alcohol or drug use, seeking
• 7:05
  help can be the first step toward recovery. Doctor Joseph Liberto,

  Speaker 10: Considered by most Optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:08
  bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
• 8:13
  am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:19
  optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:23
  nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:27
  reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:32
  The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and
• 8:36
  inflammation has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can
• 8:42
  prevent cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer,
• 8:46
  and in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects
• 8:51
  our healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com

  Speaker 12: Hiverybody, Jack, Hannah and It's always a boy Growing up
• 10:02
  on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:05
  I'm not only in alle of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:07
  but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:09
  birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
• 10:13
  who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
• 10:15
  who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
• 10:18
  for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
• 10:21
  them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
• 10:23
  of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 10:26
  best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:30
  at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 10:33
  perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
• 10:36
  at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
• 10:38
  from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
• 10:42
  a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
• 10:44
  variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
• 10:47
  help those in need. So please join me an American
• 10:50
  Humane and supporting our heroic working dogs and all the
• 10:53
  amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together.

  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: And now a speech.
• 11:07
  Speaker 10: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
• 11:11
  heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 13: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 14: And my brain is saying when it's time to go home.
• 11:18

  Speaker 16: Love that guy, me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Know your buzzed warning signs, Call for a ride when
• 11:24
  it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:32
  costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:36
  good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
• 11:40
  One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:43
  energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
• 11:50
  That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
• 11:53
  leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
• 11:56
  improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
• 12:00
  when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
• 12:03
  energy Star logo and read the energy guide label. And
• 12:07
  there are day to day things you can do lower
• 12:09
  your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,
• 12:12
  close fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep
• 12:15
  air filters clean. For more tips on saving money by

  Speaker 17: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:33
  first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:36
  going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:41
  anger could be a sign of a larger health concern,

  Speaker 14: And there's nothing but.
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: You can't do too.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's me. I'm that little voice inside you. Well,
• 13:36
  I mean, you know, it's not like size is everything
• 13:39
  at four three four eight eight two four two one seven.
• 13:42
  That is our phone number, our guest hotline. Joining us
• 13:46
  now from the National Center for Public Policy and Project
• 13:49
  twenty one. Priscilla Ron is with us for the first time,
• 13:53
  and I'm such a big fan of everything the Project
• 13:55
  twenty one does, and welcome to the organization. I don't
• 13:58
  know how long you've been there, Zilla, apologies, we haven't
• 14:01
  met before over the airwaves. Ardent and eloquent speaker for
• 14:08
  especially Labor Liberty there. How are you doing this morning?
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: Good morning, it's great.
• 14:15
  Speaker 19: It's six am in the Rocky Mountains and so it's
• 14:20
  a beautiful day.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah. No, we love Colorado with our friends at KPPF
• 14:25
  and end up in Greeley as well as down the
• 14:28
  Four Corners as well. You're a teacher and you have
• 14:33
  seen firsthand what the teachers' unions are doing to the students,
• 14:39
  and I've always questioned whether or not teachers realize how
• 14:43
  much teachers unions are harming them as well. You just
• 14:47
  published a great commentary and I think it's been picked
• 14:50
  up at the Rocky Mountain Voice newspaper as well as
• 14:54
  on project at National Center dot org. So talk about
• 14:59
  how these teacher unions just view students as upon to
• 15:03
  get their way.
• 15:06
  Speaker 19: Well, you know, I was aduce paying member of the
• 15:10
  Teachers Union for twenty eight years This is my thirty
• 15:12
  second year in education, and it started out being like
• 15:17
  a really great organization where I was collaborating with my colleagues.
• 15:21
  But I noticed a huge, huge shift starting in twenty twenty,
• 15:25
  and of course as we went through COVID and things
• 15:28
  started to become clearer for me about what the focus
• 15:31
  was for the teachers Union. It was less about excellence
• 15:35
  and student outcomes and more about what kind of benefits
• 15:40
  could teachers get and how could we serve ourselves better.
• 15:44
  And as much as I tried to from the inside
• 15:48
  change the culture, the social justice warriors were.
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: So loud, and it just became clear that.
• 15:57
  Speaker 19: My dues were going to leftists, candidates democrats, and the
• 16:03
  agenda was about servicing that the policies that actually were
• 16:08
  hurting kids and not creating outcomes that we wanted to see.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Well, I think your testimony is so important because it's
• 16:19
  so frequently, and I guess it's a friend of mine
• 16:22
  has an expression, why do they do it? JT? Because
• 16:25
  it works? But these these Marxists stand up there and say,
• 16:29
  but it's for the children. And for twenty years I've
• 16:34
  been comparing it to those hostage negotiators that say we
• 16:37
  have your children in the basement, given and given to
• 16:40
  our demands or you know, and and people get all
• 16:44
  up tight with me for making that comparison, but it
• 16:46
  sounds like you're making the same comparison that these kids
• 16:49
  are nothing more than leverage for the unions to get
• 16:53
  what they want out of the politicians.
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: One hundred percent.
• 16:57
  Speaker 19: If you want people to open up their pocket books,
• 17:00
  all you have to do is say that line. It's
• 17:02
  for the education, it's for the kids, you know, And
• 17:05
  who's who's going to say no to that? You don't
• 17:07
  want to seem heartless, But this is a strategy that
• 17:11
  I've noticed that the left does really well, is to
• 17:13
  tug on the heartstrings. And it makes us all question
• 17:18
  our our empathy and philanthropy. You know, am I a
• 17:25
  good person?
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: Or am I a bad person?
• 17:27
  Speaker 19: If I don't, you know, pay more taxes or donate
• 17:30
  to the or support the teachers' union. And so it's
• 17:35
  it's a very effective strategy that I'm trying to get
• 17:38
  people to use their brain and look at the data
• 17:41
  and assess is what we're.
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: Is what we've been doing working?
• 17:46
  Speaker 19: And we can say no, why because we see we
• 17:48
  still have an achievement gap, and we still have an
• 17:51
  economic gap.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Well, and the you know it started with me just
• 17:54
  just the obvious test scores plummet every year. So why
• 17:59
  would you keep doing the same things that have brought
• 18:02
  us to this position when there are now as you
• 18:07
  mentioned COVID, Priscilla Ron is on with us from Project
• 18:10
  twenty one, micro schools, homeschool co ops, so many you know,
• 18:15
  charter schools starting up were permitted. So many different ways
• 18:20
  to educate a child are becoming obvious, and a lot
• 18:23
  of parents have found themselves empowered because they had to be.
• 18:27
  The teachers' union didn't want to go back into a
• 18:29
  room full of you know snot spewing murder machines. So
• 18:34
  the kids stayed home from school far longer than they
• 18:37
  needed to because the teachers' union Randy Winegarden said, I'm
• 18:40
  not putting my teachers in front of those kids, and
• 18:43
  parents were forced to become teachers. And I think that's
• 18:47
  been the biggest sea change is they've realized, oh, this
• 18:51
  isn't as hard as the teachers' unions made it out
• 18:53
  to sea.
• 18:56
  Speaker 19: Yeah, during that time, it was a blessing in disguise,
• 18:59
  and it was a very frustrating time for classroom teachers
• 19:02
  because we weren't used to teaching through technology. And you know,
• 19:08
  in the big some of the biggest city schools, like
• 19:10
  in Denver public schools, check this out. We couldn't even
• 19:13
  require students to turn on their cameras. So students were
• 19:18
  logging in, keeping their cameras off and going and watching
• 19:21
  TV or playing video games or going to the community pool,
• 19:25
  and they were missing so much learning because my school
• 19:30
  district said, it's a violation or it's an equity issue
• 19:34
  to tell students to turn on their cameras so you
• 19:37
  can make eye contacts, so you can make sure they're
• 19:39
  engaged in learning. And it was those types of policies
• 19:42
  that the Teachers' Union supported. And it's not just Randy,
• 19:47
  but it's also Becky Pringle. These two individuals are making
• 19:50
  half a million dollars a year, half a million dollars
• 19:53
  a year, and Randy has any She hasn't even been
• 19:57
  in the classroom in over twenty years, almost thirty years.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: It could be wrong, but yeah, well let me ask
• 20:04
  you this because I think that this is the essential
• 20:09
  and I've since this since, you know, the early two thousands.
• 20:13
  It feels like I've been on this issue, and heck,
• 20:16
  it was harder for me then I was doing rock radio.
• 20:18
  Try to squeeze this kind of discussion in between Matchbox
• 20:21
  twenty songs. But the issue is that kids, and we
• 20:29
  saw this in the early two thousands of report came
• 20:32
  out that said one of the problems in the inner
• 20:34
  cities were that kids didn't see any upside in getting
• 20:39
  an education. And some of it's drunk gang, some of
• 20:43
  it's rampant poverty. Some of it is, you know, a
• 20:46
  dad working at a convenience store that he doesn't need
• 20:48
  any particular skills for, but it's the best job he
• 20:51
  can get. And it rather than fixed that back in
• 20:55
  two thousand and eight or so when I first saw
• 20:58
  the report, we continue to try to dance around that
• 21:01
  subject that the inner city kids, you know, don't see
• 21:06
  the buy in. There's no why, there's no hey, I
• 21:10
  should get a good education because it's going to help
• 21:13
  me do insert whatever it's going to help me do.
• 21:16
  Priscilla ron On with a project twenty one. How long
• 21:19
  did you say you've been a teacher?
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: Thirty two years. I'm still in a classroom.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: Well, God bless you for that. You must have started
• 21:27
  when you were ten by the pictures that Project twenty
• 21:30
  one has up on the other website. But that's you know.
• 21:33
  So I want to ask you in this abstract about
• 21:36
  you know, getting kids, because you talk about these kids
• 21:38
  that logged on and then went away rather than paying
• 21:43
  attention to the teacher, and I think that is an
• 21:45
  indication of a child that doesn't particularly care about the
• 21:49
  subject matter or getting an education. And I don't know
• 21:53
  how we fix it. I have ideas, but I'm curious
• 21:56
  to see what your thoughts are when we get them
• 21:59
  on that.
• 22:03
  Speaker 10: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 22:07
  actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
• 22:12
  oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 22:17
  to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 22:22
  By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 22:27
  and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 22:31
  and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 22:35
  precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 22:38
  energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 22:41
  your hands and feet. Well, our product, ultimate nitric oxide,
• 22:46
  can easily help fix this. Lack of nitric oxide go

  Speaker 10: Considered by most optimized, curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
• 24:13
  am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 24:18
  optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 24:22
  nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 24:26
  reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 24:32
  The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 24:37
  has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 24:42
  cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 24:46
  in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 24:51

  good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
• 26:34
  One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:37
  energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 26:41
  learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
• 26:44
  That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
• 26:48
  leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
• 26:51
  improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
• 26:55
  when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
• 26:57
  energy Star logo and read the energy guide label, and
• 27:01
  there are day to day things you can do. Lower
• 27:04
  your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,

  Speaker 3: One of the dangerous things about radio is they tell

  you if somebody pushes the button, they're not unpushing it,
• 28:44
  And you gotta be careful. And I appreciate the network
• 28:47
  and all the folks who worked very hard to keep
• 28:49
  at least something coming out over the air, even if
• 28:51
  it was a little bit of what did Ray right
• 28:55
  in he thought he was listening to Groundhog Day was
• 28:59
  it was of yesterday's program. Not bad stuff, but it
• 29:02
  was yesterday's stuff until we got our connections to our
• 29:05
  Mumford Tee Firefly, second from the Sky down link and
• 29:09
  Tonna for you. So, Priscilla Han I asked, you know this,
• 29:13
  this premise that started around two thousand and six, two
• 29:16
  thousand and seven of kids not really caring about education,
• 29:22
  How do we fix that?
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: So shameless plug.
• 29:25
  Speaker 19: I just self published my book, Restoring Education in America.
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: It's on Amazon, and I talk about this very topic.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: You know, Lucky me.
• 29:38
  Speaker 19: Yay, Yeah, Restoring Education in America. It's on Amazon. You're
• 29:45
  talking about social promotion, which kids are really smart. They
• 29:48
  figured out they really literally don't have to do anything
• 29:52
  in order to get through elementary and middle school. They
• 29:55
  will be promoted whether they know anything or not. And
• 30:00
  other countries, other top performing countries, don't operate that way.
• 30:06
  There are assessments that make sure students aren't on the
• 30:10
  right track because that will determine where they go to
• 30:12
  high school and what kind of jobs they get. But
• 30:14
  you're one hundred percent right when students don't see a future,
• 30:17
  or they see the people in their lives are in
• 30:21
  jobs that are low paying, and you've got a welfare
• 30:25
  system that encourages black mothers to marry the government instead
• 30:29
  of marrying the.
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: Fathers or their children. There's no incentive, you know too.
• 30:33
  Speaker 19: I was when I was a principal in Alaska and
• 30:35
  a u pick Eskimo village in the Bush. I was
• 30:38
  looking at these students and if they finish eighth grade,
• 30:42
  they get a certificate and that's all they need because
• 30:44
  there are no jobs in Bush, Alaska, so.
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: There are no incentives for them.
• 30:49
  Speaker 19: And we see that same type of condition in some
• 30:53
  of our larger cities. And I talk about that as
• 30:56
  far as teachers making sure that they're showing students what
• 31:02
  the careers are that have a future, that are high
• 31:04
  paying jobs, and making sure that they have the skills
• 31:09
  in math and literacy because.
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: Those are the jobs.
• 31:12
  Speaker 19: And what's interesting, Joe is by the time I started,
• 31:15
  and then when I was getting ready.
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: To publish my book, I had to.
• 31:18
  Speaker 19: Change my chapter on jobs because things had changed in
• 31:22
  engineering and technology and AI so much that I had
• 31:28
  to say, you know, we as teachers need to steer
• 31:30
  our students away from jobs like gender studies and DEI
• 31:35
  and CRT types of jobs into other careers for the
• 31:40
  future that are actually going to give you know, young
• 31:43
  people a chance to have a family.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: Well, you say, it's like I frequently say, you know,
• 31:48
  if you want people to be excited about rocket science,
• 31:50
  show them a rocket scientists every now and then, Priscilla
• 31:53
  ron on with us from Project twenty one. Now I
• 31:57
  want your book. I have to have your book, and
• 32:00
  I'm going to keep it on a shelf behind me,
• 32:02
  probably incessantly refer back to it every time this subject
• 32:05
  comes up. But you know, this is the kind of
• 32:09
  thing that you know, contributing to society. If people don't
• 32:15
  care about society, Priscilla, then they're not going to care
• 32:19
  about learning anything to contribute to it. And I feel
• 32:22
  like this is one of the problems of the Great
• 32:25
  Society that started back in sixty four, is this idea
• 32:29
  that the government is supposed to do things for you.
• 32:31
  And then we've got more and more kids growing up
• 32:34
  thinking the government hasn't done squad for me, and they
• 32:37
  told me they were going to, So why should I care?
• 32:40
  You know, the teachers are on the front lines of this,
• 32:42
  but aren't families also on the front lines of this?
• 32:46
  And we've got to somehow win them back.
• 32:51
  Speaker 19: Yeah, you bring up a really great point about the family,
• 32:55
  and my first chapter is about fatherhood and the importance
• 32:59
  of dad being the foundation of pretty much everything in schools.
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: And families and community.
• 33:06
  Speaker 19: And we know the statistics and the data behind fatherless
• 33:10
  homes and it's just a domino effect of when dads
• 33:14
  aren't present and strong.
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: In the lives of their children and their wives, then.
• 33:22
  Speaker 19: Students are more likely to have mental problems, live in poverty,
• 33:26
  commit crimes.
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: Suicide as well.
• 33:30
  Speaker 19: So these are alarming statistics around the family, and that
• 33:33
  starts with strong fathers. But we have a culture now
• 33:37
  that we were, you know, the feminist movement, you know
• 33:39
  I don't need a man or you know, we're seeing
• 33:44
  you know, the left putting dresses on boys and seminizing them,
• 33:49
  and the you know, these types of social changes that
• 33:53
  are happening have real effects on how young people grow
• 33:58
  up and they see their work and they and they
• 34:01
  see their future. And I think that's a critical thing
• 34:04
  to just name and address and start to change in communities.
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: Well, and you know, I've said this before because sometimes
• 34:11
  people will hear, you know, part of a sentence or
• 34:14
  you know, here just you know, out of one ear,
• 34:17
  and you know, because they're busy in the mornings. And
• 34:19
  I don't want a deadbeat dad forced to stay with
• 34:23
  his family. I want men knowing what fatherhood means. I
• 34:28
  want women knowing what motherhood means. If only, Priscilla, there
• 34:31
  was an organization to help young people plan for parenthood.
• 34:35
  I don't know what you would call an organization like that,
• 34:38
  but I oh, oh yeah, you know, the only organization
• 34:41
  that says anything about planning for parenthood is actually out
• 34:44
  there stopping parenthood from happening, Priscilla. And that's that's part
• 34:49
  of the problem, is young people think sex is the thing,
• 34:53
  rather than that the sex is a gateway to parenthood,
• 34:58
  and the parenthood is a great gateway to a higher
• 35:02
  calling than even what you do for a living.
• 35:07
  Speaker 19: Yeah, and you know, my dad's generation, it was very
• 35:11
  common for families to go to church together and there
• 35:15
  were family values and they ate together. I mean, those
• 35:18
  types of behaviors have changed because now everybody's going in
• 35:22
  different directions, everybody's busy. There's so much that parents don't know.
• 35:26
  They send their kids to school and they trust the
• 35:29
  education system.
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: There was a time where teachers in the community were.
• 35:33
  Speaker 19: Like family and parents could trust them to have the
• 35:37
  same core family values as the parents.
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: But we have seen that that has changed.
• 35:43
  Speaker 19: You cannot trust your children into the hands of someone else,
• 35:48
  and it's a scary place to be, but it's where
• 35:51
  we are until teachers in the education system can build
• 35:54
  that trust back, that's what we're doing. That's what I'm
• 35:56
  trying to do, even at this late stage and where
• 36:00
  I am in my career, I'm trying to build back
• 36:03
  trust with parents.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: Well, and you mentioned the teachers union at the onset.
• 36:07
  I want to circle all the way back to that
• 36:09
  because I've always it's gobsmacked me how teachers still and
• 36:13
  talk about a gas lit population. They continue to line
• 36:18
  up and be members of these unions and then tell
• 36:21
  me how lousy their pay is and how lousy their
• 36:25
  benefits are, and how lousy the work conditions are. I'm like, then,
• 36:28
  why are you still voting for all these people to
• 36:31
  be your union reps. If this was an auto shop,
• 36:35
  I think they'd be changing your union reps after a bit.
• 36:41
  Speaker 19: Well, that's the syndrome, right we I'm telling you this
• 36:45
  is what they tell us over and over and over
• 36:48
  as young teachers, and we just start repeating the rhetoric,
• 36:51
  and we keep giving our dues.
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: And then the union keeps giving that money to.
• 36:55
  Speaker 19: Leftist politicians who keep saying their pro publicae education, but
• 37:01
  they don't actually make the decisions.
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: That are going to help public education.
• 37:05
  Speaker 19: And here's another phrase that the left always uses, fully
• 37:08
  fund education. And when I ask, well, what's that dollar amount,
• 37:12
  no one can ever give me a dollar amount of
• 37:14
  what it was like to fully fund. So what I
• 37:16
  would say to any teacher who's listening to this that
• 37:20
  if you're still in the Teachers' union, there are options
• 37:22
  to get out. Teacher Freedom Alliance will pay you for
• 37:25
  free your your two million dollar liability insurance for free
• 37:30
  if you get out of the teachers' union, so we
• 37:33
  no longer have a reason to be compelled to stay
• 37:36
  in the teachers' union.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: Well, and there's so many opportunities with these micro schools
• 37:40
  and parents' co ops. Priscilla, where do people get the book?
• 37:43
  You said? Amazon?
• 37:45
  Speaker 19: Amazon, Amazon dot Com, Priscilla, ron are Ahn Restoring Education
• 37:51
  in America and Inspirational Teacher Toolbox.
• 37:55

• 37:57
  Enjoy that rocky mountain morning.

  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 38:00
  Speaker 18: Joe. At Hotshot Secret, we share the science behind common
• 38:04
  diesel problems in their solutions.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: For example, diesel fuel setane levels.
• 38:09
  Speaker 18: In many states, the setane rating and diesel fuel is
• 38:11
  forty two to forty five. Most diesel engines operate more
• 38:14
  efficiently with the cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one.
• 38:17
  Treatment of hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your
• 38:20
  seatane seven points, increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts.
• 38:24
  Due to a cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons in
• 38:27
  particulate matter in your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of
• 38:30
  your diesel particulate filter. Using Diesel Extreme generates eighty three
• 38:34
  percent less DPF regenerations.
• 38:37
  Speaker 15: The six and one Diesel.
• 38:38
  Speaker 18: Extreme formula also includes the most concentrated detergent on the market,
• 38:43
  lubricity enhancer, water demulsifier, rust and corrosion inhibitors, and a
• 38:48
  fuel stabilizer.

  Speaker 14: You were strolling along in Goodwill when just past that
• 40:06
  mid century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them
• 40:09
  nestled in their display case, miniature donut earrings. Oh yes, yes,
• 40:17
  your favorite half breakfast pastry, half all day dessert food
• 40:20
  made into your favorite form of ear candy. Oh my,
• 40:24

  Speaker 13: Exercise is hard, so I was maintaining a healthy diet.
• 41:03
  Of course, neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly,
• 41:07
  Type two diabetes, heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a
• 41:11
  million people a year. Even sadder, most of These deaths
• 41:14
  are preventable with a few lifestyle changes, including regular activity,
• 41:19
  healthier eating, and not smoking. Talk to your doctor about
• 41:23
  your risk for type two diabetes and heart disease, and
• 41:26

• 44:33
  Speaker 3: But as long as you've got a voice. I love
• 44:37
  the fact that somewhere along Gunhill Road in southeastern New York,
• 44:44
  the dulcet sounds of the band Gunhill Road can be
• 44:47
  heard at fourteen ninety AM and our friends at w
• 44:50
  g H this morning. You don't appreciate this. I received
• 44:56
  an email from Maurice, who said, Joe, I don't always
• 45:01
  agree with you, but I appreciate the efforts you took
• 45:04
  to make sure that your show was live today. Too
• 45:06
  many people, just when things go wrong, default to playing
• 45:10
  some recording of a previous episode. I appreciate your Saturday
• 45:14
  morning programs as well, because way too much of radio
• 45:19
  is now prepackaged and it's just about the host, you know,
• 45:23
  and it's easy enough to be about me. I have
• 45:27
  four people in my world that keep me from being
• 45:31
  that guy. And it starts with the first lady of
• 45:35
  Joe Thomas in the Morning, my wife, who is the
• 45:38
  ultimate in keeping you grounded. But then my kids, none
• 45:43
  of my kids, they don't let me get five seconds
• 45:46
  if I say something. So so, for an example, yesterday,
• 45:52
  we were posting podcasts to Joe Thomas in the Morning
• 45:55
  dot com through our Spriaker account and that you know
• 46:00
  you can download these, go see them at your favorite
• 46:04
  podcast downloader distributor, whether it's Apple Podcasts or Geezer. I'm sorry,
• 46:11
  that's what my daughter calls it, deezer. Whatever it might
• 46:15
  be that you want to do, well, if my podcast
• 46:18
  is on it, my daughter's theory is then it must
• 46:20
  be called Geezer, Spotify, all the usual suspects. But we
• 46:25
  were posting them up and I needed I was whiteboarding
• 46:29
  a title for one of the segments of yesterday's program,
• 46:32
  the segment that we talked with doctor uh, doctor Jeffrey
• 46:39
  Singer from the Cato Institute, and the original working title
• 46:43
  of the segment was Spectrum. I don't even know them,
• 46:47
  and I mean it was voted oh, and I said,
• 46:51
  all right, we'll come up with something else. We'll come
• 46:54
  up with something else. And then both of my sons said, Dad,
• 46:57
  you misunderstood. We weren't against that title. Well, Satua, we
• 47:01
  were just afraid of mom telling us we were wrong.
• 47:05
  So and she cooked dinner for them. So she wins.
• 47:09
  But the idea that I couldn't not break down today's news,
• 47:14
  my gosh, my wife laughs, because I don't take vacations.
• 47:19
  We pack up the gear, you know, we're sure might
• 47:23
  we play a slot machine or two in Lost Wages.
• 47:27
  I don't know how many homeless people we're gonna have
• 47:29
  to step over. That's going to be the bigger chronicle
• 47:32
  is the homelessness and the destitution around Lost Wages Nevada.
• 47:37
  We did it last time I was there for the
• 47:38
  Consumer Elex Chronics show. I did a fifteen minute podcast
• 47:42
  video podcast walking through the neighborhood out by the University
• 47:46
  of Nevada, Las Vegas, showing the poverty that was, you know,
• 47:53
  a block and a half off of the strip. All
• 47:58
  the lights and the glitz and the glamour you get
• 48:00
  there in these little one story, one bedroom stucco houses
• 48:05
  that are empty because nobody can afford them. Four closed
• 48:08
  signs on everything. Now I'm told the strip is just
• 48:13
  overrun with homeless people. So we'll chronicle some of there
• 48:19
  that while we're ironically out there for the consumer Electronics
• 48:22
  show Consumer Electronics that the folks who can't even afford
• 48:26
  a place to get out of the sun are going
• 48:30
  to be buying the new Google Pixel four thousand or
• 48:34
  anything like that. But we do those things and they're
• 48:40
  working trips. Sure, but it's five in the morning Eastern
• 48:45
  to nine in the morning Eastern, like anyone else is
• 48:48
  doing anything at that time. I can do this from anywhere.
• 48:54
  Proof when are uplink to the month for tea fireflyer
• 48:57
  sucking from the sky down like an ten, I was disconnected.
• 49:01
  I'll say, I'm looking at you here when I'm talking
• 49:04
  to your son. We were able to go, you know,
• 49:08
  and find a backup transmitter to go on for an
• 49:12
  hour or so. And I appreciate the fact that most
• 49:14
  people would have just pulled the plug and said, ah,
• 49:16
  the hell with it, you know, but I can't do
• 49:20
  that to you. I can't do that to you. I'm
• 49:22
  not that guy. Because there's so many things that we
• 49:25
  have to get into, like the fact that the New
• 49:28
  Jersey and Virginia governor's races are you know, growing very
• 49:32
  uncomfortable for people. New Jersey governor's race. Channel eleven, Emerson
• 49:37
  College Pole flat foot tie. Wasn't this race a twenty
• 49:42
  percent blowout? A month and a half ago, Jack Chatterrelly
• 49:47
  an article after article Chatterrelli's doing it wrong. Oh my gosh,
• 49:51
  she's out of touch. She's not connecting with the voters.
• 49:53
  I mean of the same stories about Winsome Earl sears
• 49:56
  here in Virginia. We haven't seen a poll of Virginia
• 50:02
  voters since the murder of Charlie Kirk. But I just
• 50:06
  watched three thousand kids gather at Blacksburg for the first
• 50:14
  event since Charlie's murder, and even ones that wanted to still,
• 50:21
  you know, challenge the system.
• 50:23
  Speaker 7: So has rally recently said I hate my enemies.
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: And this is a kid who is out there at
• 50:30
  Meghan Kelly, bless her heart, trying to carry the Charlie
• 50:33
  Kirk water.
• 50:34
  Speaker 7: There's Stephen Miller said similar things. How can you support
• 50:38
  him when he contributed to what got Charlie killed?
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: And they go into do we have the clip where
• 50:45
  he goes into this report because Meghan Kelly, you know,
• 50:49
  bless her she's a lawyer, So she handles it like
• 50:51
  a lawyer.
• 50:52
  Speaker 6: Assumes facts not in evidence. What you said is not true.
• 50:56
  Speaker 7: Seventy of political violence is committed by Republicans.
• 51:00
  Speaker 19: Look it up.
• 51:00
  Speaker 7: That's not the OJ just pulled it. The OJ just
• 51:04
  pulled it from their website.
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: And what they pulled from their website. I want to
• 51:08
  make sure because you're going to hear about this today.
• 51:11
  What they pulled from their website was Merrick Garland had
• 51:14
  commissioned a report to look into Islamist violence versus what
• 51:21
  the Department of Justice under Merrick Garland termed right wing violence.
• 51:26
  Now right wing violence from Merrick Garland's position, and this
• 51:29
  goes into how statistics can be used. What do you
• 51:32
  define as right wing violence? I fought back against the
• 51:37
  people who titled their rally the Unite the Right Rally
• 51:40
  in Virginia back in twenty seventeen. I said frequently they
• 51:45
  could call themselves the Unite the Unicorns, and it doesn't
• 51:48
  make it any truer. These were fascist, closed border white
• 51:55
  supremacists and ate nothing in Russell Kirk's writings about conservative
• 52:00
  about the Jews will replace us, So get out of
• 52:04
  here with that. They're conservatives. They're not, but that's what
• 52:08
  this kid is using. He's received an email from you know,
• 52:12
  and they tell them, listen, you're a Caucasian eighteen year old,
• 52:15
  You're the suppressor. You're the oppressor Hamas and the people
• 52:20
  that will kill you when everyone you know, once they
• 52:23
  gain power, they're the oppressed. And your heart breaks. And
• 52:30
  as I said earlier, Meghan didn't quite grasp the Charlie
• 52:34
  would have had empathy for this kid in the thirteen
• 52:37
  years of indoctrination. And that's what made Charlie so impactful
• 52:41
  was that he was able to undo all that. Anyway,
• 52:44
  we will hopefully be back tomorrow morning. Until then, so
• 52:47
  long and thanks for all the fish.
• 52:51
