  Speaker 3: the second most famous Thomas and Charlotte.
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: Smith Jewort said, steal me stem. You have a day
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: at least for work. When the sun comes up, drops
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: a pet of the scood.

• 0:37
  Speaker 6: no one that Joe's all smiled.
• 0:39
  Speaker 7: He only eggs bes.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Let them be, Joe, thank you for letting me be
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: of service to you this morning.
• 0:48
  Speaker 8: I want to be Joe.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: If I make the speakers viebright enough, you might even
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: be able to generate some heat with it. So, right
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: here down the street, barely from the radio station, Ice
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: raids another one of these Allies stockpiling weapons and sending
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: them back to his dad in Afghanistan. So the story
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: goes here in Waynesboro, Virginia, Ice made a huge bust
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: of yet another of these people who came across using
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Operation Allies. Welcome John Shah Safi, another Afghan nationals here
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: in Waynesboro, Virginia. Just like I said, down the road
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: from our flagship station, saying he was providing support to
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: isis K and supplied weapons to his father, who the
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: DHS describes as a militia commander in Afghanistan. I don't know,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: maybe he misunderstood the second Amendment just took it to
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: hard well armed militia. I don't know. This Operation Allies
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Welcome is now starting to become a curiosity to me
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: because as we saw in the abandonment of Afghanistan, thorough
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: planning and execution of that thoroughly thought out plan wasn't
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: a hallmark of it. And I'm being kind a cluster
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: intercourse might be a better example of it. So first
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: we screw up the abandonment of Afghanistan because as Joe
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Biden needed to show that he had done something with
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: someone somewhere like Ilhan Omar talks about. So he's like, well,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get out. I'll get out Thursday, and
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: we started abandoning. I mean, the videos of the people
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: falling off of airplanes trying to get out of Afghanistan
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: because they sided with us instead of the Taliban. But
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: we were now about to say, you know what kind
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: of deal with the Taliban see, you wouldn't want to
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: be And we jumped on the planes and we got out.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: And regardless of whether or not we should have been there,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: what we were doing there was it really I broke it,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: you know, we broke it. Now we bought it scenario
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: there several drunk monkeys filed suit against me because I
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: compare our planning in that abandonment to what could have
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: been accomplished by a room full of drunk monkeys. They
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: were offended. So how many more of these terrorists are
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: here now because we let them in? Because they were
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: playing the game of you my enemy of my enemy
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: is my friend, and we went along with it. So
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: other first things this morning besides this Waynesboro arrest of
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the another one of these allies, President Donald Trump announced
• 4:43

  Speaker 2: buying a car much more affordable for countless American families
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: and also safer. We're officially terminating Joe Biden's ridiculously burden
• 5:12

• 8:07
  Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 9: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 9: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 9: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

  Speaker 11: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29
  Speaker 11: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 10:32
  Speaker 11: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
• 10:35

• 13:19
  Speaker 6: To get the bagatized on the mic when I kicked
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: my too if there was a problem, Joe, I saw it.
• 13:24
  Speaker 17: Check out the hook.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: What reposing text message comes in? Uh? And you so
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: so here in our flying ship city yesterday there was
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: snow and or school closings. I guess it was Monday
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: morning and all school delays. And you may have heard
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: us talk about some folks, you know, joking about how
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: little there actually was, But there was. Schools were all delayed.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: And Tony writes in so, Joe, when you're doing your
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: traffic report saying there was ice potential on the roads
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: and we should be careful of it. You weren't talking
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: about the frozen stuff on the corners with the melt
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: off had happened. No, we were talking about that. I
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: wasn't trying to do a Gavin Newsom and give you
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: some heads up that ice was on the roads in Waynesboro, Virginia.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: But speaking of Gavin Newsom, because it had been several
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: weeks since anyone had mentioned Gavin Newsom on the national news,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: he and Attorney General Rob Banta announced that the Newsom
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: for President campaign had I'm sorry no, the California Department
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: of Justice had launched an online portal to let members
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: of the public nark on ice operations in their area,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: including photos and videos of potential And this is the
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: best part about these people, whether it's at least Slotkin
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: or Gavin Newsom or zeyfod mad Money, all these folks
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: they say stuff Tim Kaine, oh my gosh, it was
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: just the master's class last weekend. And well, if this
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: is true, it's really bad and there is no leave
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the hypothetical stuff to us professionals in the tonk radio world. Please, So,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: this state taxpayer paid for portal lets members of the
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: public submit information, including photos and video of potential unlawful
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: contact by federal agents. Quick note, a friend of mine said,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: because this is true in several states like Maryland and Georgia.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: But they wanted to know if California Code allowed for
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: electronic devices to be operational in the area of law enforcement.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Many states in the wake this was mid twenty tens,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of places were being hit with cell phone
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: video taken of traffic stops and such. So states like
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Maryland enforced or enacted laws that required electronic devices to
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: be turned off in the area of any police activity,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: and they passed the state Senate and signed by the
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: governor under the premise of making sure nobody was distracted
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: while in an area where certainly attention needed to be
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: paid carefully. No, it was to keep your cell phone
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: camera and if you did shoot cell phone camera footage,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: certainly that's protected. But you were violating the state law
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: that allowed that, didn't allow your electronic device to be on.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: So I'm checking the California Code on that to see
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: if what Gavin Newsom is asking for is even legal,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: because they may have been one of the states in
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: this bad because they had a lot of these traffic
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: stops showing up on these you know, two three hundred
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: channel cable networks, True crime right now, live crime, mind crime,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: all of this stuff. There was a this was just
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: a fascination with live crime footage there for a while
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: and it, yeah, funny enough, just stopped after these states
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: started banning the the electronics. And it's not that you're
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: banned from recording, you're banned from having it on for
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: your own safety. But we're checking on that whether California
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: has such a ban like Maryland, and I think Georgia
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: has it and some of the other Southern states. State
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: official in California said federal officers do have broad authority
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: to enforce federal laws, including immigration laws, but must do
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: so legally. We're not going to stand by, said the
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: erstwhile presidential nominee. We're not going to stand by while anyone,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: including federal agents, deprives me of voters. No, it gives
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Californians an easy and safe way to speak up, share
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: what they see, and register to vote no and to
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: help us hold people accountable. He said. I was told
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: that one of the statements said this report was paid
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: for by Newsom for president in twenty twenty eight. I
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: have no evidence to that, but certainly after it's easily
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: been almost a month probably since we've had national news
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: signing of Gavin Newsom. His polls continue to be higher
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: than Kamala Harris's in the Who's the Democrat and twenty
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: eight poll, but they're both languishing it, like twenty eight percent.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Most Democrats are like, yeah, anyone else on this who
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: else is on this list? Can I vote for? Jd Vance?
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Text messages to four three four eight eight two four
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: to two one seven? What about citizens that have body
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: cams and cars that have them too, usually hidden lapel cameras?
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Those are fine, I guess, you know, if it depends
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: on what they're plugged into. Some of these laws they
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: just say your electronic devices need to be shut off,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: which is funny because a lot of these states already
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: have laws against texting and driving, but you know, many
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: of them kind of capitulate and say, okay, but if
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: you've got hands free and doing the Bluetooth and all that,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: we'll let you slide on it. And I always wonder,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: doesn't it completely tangent off of this, all of these
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: do gooders, Republicans and Democrats alike, in these state legislatures
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: that enact no texting and driving laws in each and
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: every state, each and every instance. I've gone and found
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: the state code that forbids distracted driving. So I'd like
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: to present to the Court of public opinion here, if
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: you already have a law that says you're not allowed
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: to drive distractedly, and the reason everyone gives for no
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: texting and driving laws would be to avoid distraction. Don't
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: you already have laws on the books dealing with this.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: It's a mess, just one law on top of another.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: It's what I'm talking about with this legal black hole.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Just pile new law over bad law until we have
• 21:01

  Speaker 1: like I said, you know, on the roads here in Waynesboro, Virginia,

  Speaker 1: but also New Orleans and Minneapolis. Attorney General Keith Ellison
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: is vowed to stand in the way of any Trump
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: administration deportation forces. And here's what they're doing. And they're
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: playing in this legality of the Biden app. Unfortunately, it
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: seems that President Biden signed the executive order creating this
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: immigration smartphone app that you know, electronically file your asylum paperwork.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: He didn't do it with the auto pen this time.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: This one he actually supposedly is not or Jill signed it,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: or somebody still Hunter signed it. Somebody named Biden signed it.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: And so they're playing with this saying no, they were legal.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: These people are legal.

  Speaker 3: The first Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Tunk Media.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: There's ice on the road. You better be careful kids.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: So I did some digging into California cell phone laws
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: and and unlike Maryland, Maryland is one of the more
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: draconian ones where you have to if you videotape the police,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: you will be arrested for violating the law. Not so
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: much a free speech law, but a law that they
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: passed under the banner of safety that you you can't
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: have a cell phone even powered up in the area
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: of police activity. California, on the other hand, does not
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: have that law, so Gavin Newsom's presidential campaign stunt will
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: at least not violate his own state law. You can't
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: hold your phone in your hand while driving, So technically,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: if Pam Bondi or Cash Ptel wanted to go after
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: somebody for videotaping an ICE agent while they drove by,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: they would be in violation of California code regarding holding
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: a phone in your hand while driving. But if you're
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: just walking down the street and you see ice on
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: the road and you go in your videotape, and you're
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: not technically violating any California law. But Newsom and his
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Attorney General, I guess has been promised a position in
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: the Newsom administration in twenty twenty nine, are using the
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: office of Governor and Attorney General to get Gavin Newsom
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: mentioned on the morning News again fold again. Well, I
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: don't think Gavin Newsom wants our kind of coverage, although
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: he might be one of those guys that believes, you know,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: any coverage is good coverage. Just say my name right
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: text message to four three four eight eight two four,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: two one seven is one of the most popular ways
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: to get to the program. I heard a statistic a
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: few months ago. Eddie writes that you are six times
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: more likely to be involved in a collision with a
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: distracted driver than a drunk driver. I've seen that statistic
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: as well, Eddie. It's a little misleading, partially because the
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: number of people who are on the road drunk aren't
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: nearly as prevalent as the number of people are on
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: the road with a cell phone on. We were approaching
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: I would have to guess that ninety plus percent of
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: all automobiles have somebody with a cell phone somewhere. There's
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: whether it's nav, Google Maps, whatever it is. Spotify is
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: on there playing the podcasts of The First Thing Today
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: by Joe Thomas. Whatever. However, you get your serve on
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: most states, you have to have it on hands free,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: So the statistic is driven up simply by the preponderance
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: of the number of people with cell phones on in
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: their cars that would qualify as distract them. My wife
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: was rear ended by a guy, and bless him for
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: not being all that bright, said to the police officer,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: I was just checking a text message from my daughter
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: rammed right into the back of my wife's car. Luckily,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: it was made before the days of these Biden cafe standards,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: so it weighed more than announce or two, but it
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: wasn't a big car. Still, she got whacked in the
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: back and his neck was stiff for weeks. And the police,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: I think the police officer, my wife said he was
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: just he stared at the guy for a while after
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: his like, I'm sorry, officer, I was just checking a
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: text message from my daughter. Never got a dinner. All
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, red buttons is in the radio. So
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: certainly you are more likely because you're also more likely
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: to be on the road with folks using their cell
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: phone than you are somebody who's had you know, three
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: year odo like the raccoon. By the way, quick note,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: my newsroom had the raccoon story earlier than almost everyone else,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: I think, outside of the folks in Ashland, Virginia, which
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: is a DC suburb, But even some of the news
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: stations in Ashland, Virginia had this story about the viral video.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you've seen it now of the passed out raccoon.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Some places actually have the security footage of the raccoon
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: knocking the booze off the shelf of the liquor store
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: here in Virginia. In Virginia, they're run by the government.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised nobody has made hey, you know Louise Lucas
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: our senate leader, more failures of the Youngkin administration to
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: protect our wildlife from whatever. Everything is a political hit.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: So if you missed the story, a raccoon broke into
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: an alcoholic beverage control store here in Virginia, just outside
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: of DC. Like I said, it's where the Deadskins play
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: practice Ashland, and so it didn't get a lot of
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: coverage in the local press. I think a Richmond TV
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: station covered it. I saw the story there, so I
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: put it on our radio station, and now everyone's talking
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: about it. So even locally, we're twenty four hours ahead
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: of a lot of the news cycle. Sorry, folks. And
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: nobody else has this Waynesboro Ice arrest. It's us and
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: I think Newsmax and Newsmax it's on like page forty five.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: So none of my local competitors have the fact that
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Ice busted another one of these allies of ours right
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: here in our hometown. So you know, we just this
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: is all warranty work. We're just trying to be out
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: here of service to you, and sometimes sometimes we're telling
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: you stuff you're not going to hear from anyone else
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: until tomorrow or the next day. But the raccoon story
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: is funny, and the raccoon is just splayed out like
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: so many of your friends. I won't say you or me,
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: we've never passed out on the floor of the bathroom. No, no, no,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: we've never been. Yeah, we have no empathy for that raccoon.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: We have no idea what it's like to find yourself
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: in the bathroom thinking, you know, this looks comfortable, and
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: you know, hours later go oh oh, what does that
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: taste in my mouth? Oh? Just saying I mean testimony.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: People have told me. I've heard it from a friend
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: who's heard it from Stop looking at the radio that way.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: I've heard it from a friend who heard it from
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: a friend who heard it from another. That's what happens.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: But this raccoon, he knocked over all this liquor off
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: the shelf, and it was the bottom shelf stuff too,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: so it's not even the good liquor. And just god
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: as drunk as well. I guess the phrase drunk as
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: a skunk wouldn't work in this case, and passed out
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: in the bathroom. And I know, I know, animal lovers like,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: oh my god, the poor raccoon. The raccoon's fine a
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: couple of cups of coffee and a night in the
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: drunk tank at the local SPCA, and he was released
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: back into the wild with one hell of a story
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: to tell the other woodland creatures there. So so, But Eddie,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: you're right, yeah, this statistically, certainly a raccoon driving, whether
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: they're drunk or not, is going to be dangerous in
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: of its own self. But the drunk drivers are less
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: likely to kill you on the road than a distracted
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: driver is. But I think some of that is just
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: a preponderance of people trying to get their spotify on
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Good Morning. You're on the air, first thing this morning
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: with Joe. Who's this?
• 36:23
  Speaker 20: Good morning Joe.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: It's Joel Money, Joe. How are you, Joel? How are
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: you doing today?
• 36:28
  Speaker 20: I'm okay. I'm wondering if Rocky Raccoon, which Lickory liked,
• 36:34
  Speaker 20: was it Kentucky Bourbon? Was it Tennessee or was it
• 36:37
  Speaker 20: Virginia Virginia Bourbon?
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, The Virginia. Bourbon is not on the
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: bottom shelf. That's like forty to fifty sixty dollars a
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: bottle for some of this. Some of these art house distilleries.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Virginia wrote some interesting laws. So if you want to
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: open a restaurant, the easiest way to do it is
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: either have a micro brewery or a distillery attached to it.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: So you have, I mean, every couple of blocks in
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Nelson County, Virginia is like the liquor capital of Virginia now,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: and the legal stuff, not just the moonshine. But it
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: looked like bourbon or some sort of brown liquor from
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: the bottles that I saw that had been knocked over there.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: So probably bourbon, not the good stuff, but not the
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: really bad stuff that comes in the plastic bottles because
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: that stuff wouldn't have broken. But it looked like he
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: got into some of this. But he's okay. Now, he's okay. Now,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: animal there's a PETA is following his progress to see
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: if he has any lingering, liver control or liver aspects
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: that we will need have to be paid for and
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: adjudicated through taxpayer dollars. But you know, Peter will do
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: that and let them wander in the woods trying to
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: find the drunk raccoon. Good luck on that.

  Speaker 18: Yeah? I'm pretty sober.
• 43:32
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 43:35
  Speaker 8: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking

• 44:12
  Speaker 3: Question for you from Joe Thomas. It's first thing today.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us fighting distracted driving. Just put
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: the radio on, you'll be fine. And you know it
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: all began because the Gavin Newsom for President campaign wants
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: you to videotape ice wherever they are. Uh and somehow
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: it it went to the back room in a bathroom
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: at an ABC store with a drunk raccoon. You tell
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: me how we connect a drunk raccoon to Gavin Newsom.
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: You get a QB doll. But anyway, Joel, thanks for
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: hanging out.
• 44:54
  Speaker 20: Left to ask doctor Clark if that happens in Alabama too.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: But anyway, now that's stereotyping. You know, we try to
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: stay away from stereotyping here.
• 45:07
  Speaker 20: Well, then may go after that corner around those you know,
• 45:10
  Speaker 20: there's things that have the tubes and stuff that that
• 45:13
  Speaker 20: have water cooling, that that you know that vapor off.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, And I say there's some good stuff. That's
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: some good eating right there too. And anyway, anyone who's
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: had woken up in the morning and wondered why everything
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: in your house is screwed up? You know, whether it's
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: a raccoon or squirrels chewing through electrical lines, I don't
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: know what gets into them. Maybe it's too much bourbon,
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: but they just love to chew through electric lines, which
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: is usually not good for them at the endgame. But
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: I guess it seemed like a good idea at the
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: time for them. But regardless, death is a canoe when
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: you're a squirrel or a raccoon near an electric line.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: But I'm sure you called for heavier reasons than this. Joel,
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: what's up? I did?
• 45:55
  Speaker 20: You're talking about distractions?
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 45:57
  Speaker 20: Well, my car got hit. It was in October. This
• 46:01
  Speaker 20: older guy beat the horn and all that, you know,
• 46:03
  Speaker 20: and he decided to even though he's in the middle lane.
• 46:06
  Speaker 20: And I didn't try to fight him. But there's no
• 46:08
  Speaker 20: way I could swerve off because there was there was
• 46:10
  Speaker 20: big curb on a sidewalk, and then I was probably
• 46:13
  Speaker 20: about maybe three hundred feet away from turning in. So
• 46:16
  Speaker 20: if I could have turned in, I would have.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: Just avoided it. But I couldn't.
• 46:18
  Speaker 20: But then, anyway, my whole point is I had that
• 46:23
  Speaker 20: my wasn't my fault, it was his. I had to
• 46:25
  Speaker 20: get a car that basically had all those screens on
• 46:28
  Speaker 20: it and stuff. And I'm thinking to myself, and I
• 46:33
  Speaker 20: can't use the word I'm a crappy typer, and I
• 46:36
  Speaker 20: my memory with a lot of stuff from computer. I
• 46:38
  Speaker 20: have to do it three or four times, you know,
• 46:40
  Speaker 20: to do stuff visually anyway.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: But to me, like.
• 46:44
  Speaker 20: These modern cars with the screens and unless you're you know,
• 46:47
  Speaker 20: born into all that stuff and you're techy and that
• 46:49
  Speaker 20: you just don't even know and you put your fingers
• 46:52
  Speaker 20: over the screen and I didn't have to look like
• 46:53
  Speaker 20: people that type would to be blindfolded. But to me,
• 46:57
  Speaker 20: that's a big distraction and it was weird too. It
• 47:00
  Speaker 20: had a key like what are they called key fob
• 47:04
  Speaker 20: and you know you oh yeah and all that others
• 47:06
  Speaker 20: and you stick it up against the wheel and yeah,
• 47:08
  Speaker 20: don't don't even have to pass. Like man, I'm like
• 47:11
  Speaker 20: the guy driving the model team, you know when I use.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: My car, it's well, you know, And part of it
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: is is our generation is still it's like Harry Potter
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: and the Wizarding World. To us, we're like, what does
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: this do? This magic box? You know? I look at
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: my kids. They they hold their phones like they're you know,
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: a monkey wrench. It's like, okay, yeah, I can do
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: this with that. I don't need to do this right now.
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: And the phone, they can't find their phone because they
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: haven't used it in hour's. So all those fears of
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: like teenagers being overly hooked on the phone, it may be,
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: you know, true in cases of places where teens don't
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: have anything else to do. But if if you're you're young,
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: people have jobs and stuff. They're not on their phone
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: all the time because they don't view it as this mystic,
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: cold portal into the Wizarding World the way people our
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: age still do. And I think those those screens are
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: indicative of that.
• 48:09
  Speaker 20: But I mean even trying to what I'm saying is
• 48:11
  Speaker 20: like normal if you're when you're driving my older cars
• 48:15
  Speaker 20: in twenty ten, you know, you push your hand on
• 48:18
  Speaker 20: the radio button, you turn it and you can just
• 48:20
  Speaker 20: kind of you know, dial in the radio. But on
• 48:23
  Speaker 20: here you actually have to look at the screen. Yeah,
• 48:26
  Speaker 20: And to me, that's so just that's what I'm talking about.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: Well, there were you know, there were some arcane laws
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: in New York when I was growing up and I
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: had to take my driver's test, you were supposed to,
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: according to the New York State Code that was still
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: on the books when I was a teenager, pull over
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: to turn your windshield wipers on your cars. You know,
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: there were regulations on you know, what you had to
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: do to put the radio on. There were regulations regarding
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: having radios in cars. So a lot of this goes
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: back even into the advent of the vehicle, regarding this distractedness.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: But you know what, you know, it's fun go to
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: a parking lot. Look at how many people back into
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: parking spaces now because they have these backup cameras. Good
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: luck if you know, get into my jeep, which is
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: A two thousand and three or four, and there's no
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: backup cameras on it, or I think you're good luck
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: that's the rear view mirror and you've got to figure
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: out where the edge of the car is. Good luck
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: on that with the little guidance things and all that. Anyway,
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: good stuff, Joel. You really screwed up my chances of
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: getting a good spot at the Consumer Electronics Show. Luckily, Luckily,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: I've been approved for my press credentials. They can't take
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: that away from me. But they're gonna stick me in
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: a corner somewhere, put them over there with a ludd heights.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: Maybe I should bring my emotional support raccoon with me there.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: He's looking for work these days. It's part of his
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: recidivius program, you know. And I, of course you wind
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: up sounding like that guy. Get off my lawn, you know,
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: back any older. But when you look at you know,
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: now we have law mandating radios in cars, which I'm
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: also you know, I talk about bad legislation after good
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: and this one is a Republican thing because it impacts
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: AM radio. And I'm not saying this to slag our
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: friends down on the Treasure Coast. Or Sacramento or San
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: Antonio or any of these places that carry our program
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: on amazing AM radio stations. Trust me, I'm going through
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: a herculean effort to keep my flagship AM station or
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: my buddy Todd Starns and his amazing KWHAM out there
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: in Memphis, which will soon be enjoying these dulcet tones
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: as well. But the reason these electric cars weren't getting
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: AM radios is because of the interference field that the
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: electric motor made, and they were too cheap to put
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: a little shield around it. It's a simple metal shield
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: that you just put around the radio compartment, but that
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: probably cost fifty sixty dollars maybe eighty five with a tariff,
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: and so they didn't want to do it, so they didn't.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: They're like, ah, you know what, no AM radio and
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: ruination of a lot of businesses. And they went out
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: and of course blessed politicians for trying to fix something
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: that they didn't. They didn't create by anything more than
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: creating a law in the first place. So they mandated
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: electric cars and nobody said anything about how they were
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: made or anything. So now you have mandates that say
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: you have to put an AM radio in a car,
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: which again on the surface find with more AM radios
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: out there, But why don't we look at why they
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: were looking to cut so many corners that like a
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: forty or fifty dollars bracket to shield the radio from
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: the electric If you've AM radio, you go past a
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: big transformer on a telephone pole, you're gonna get the
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: You live near a railroad crossing, every time the train
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: comes by, you're gonna get clanging in your radio reception.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: AM is like that. It's a lot of things in
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: the AM spectrum. So you go into the tunnel. What
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: was the classic Stephen was Stephen Wright. I have a
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: friend who is an AM radio DJ, and every time
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: we walk under a tunnel, I can't hear him. You know,
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: it's funny, it's true, but it happens. But guess what,
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: AM radio goes eighteen thousand miles from its transmitter location.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: So we put up with some of the interferences and everything,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: but just shield the radios. That's all you had to do.
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: And I'm sure there was a regulation that stopped.
• 52:51
  Speaker 12: Crime across the country is at an all time high.
• 52:54
  Speaker 12: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
• 52:56
  Speaker 12: a risk we don't want the feeling of being unprotected andvulnerable.
