  Speaker 1: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Joe works at a steel mill, he's damn near every day.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: Leaves for work when the sun comes up, drops.
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: A kid to school and on the way.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Joe has everything he dreamed of, all the treasures that
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: he needs.
• 0:26
  Speaker 5: No wonder Joe's always smiling, he only aims.
• 0:30
  Speaker 6: To please you.
• 0:34
  Speaker 7: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:36
  Speaker 7: this morning. As we gather in your best interests here
• 0:43
  Speaker 7: across the Talk Media Network, I will tell you what
• 0:46
  Speaker 7: went on last night. I will give you my analysis
• 0:49
  Speaker 7: of it, but mostly I want to hear about how
• 0:52
  Speaker 7: it's impacting you where you are. This text message comes
• 0:57
  Speaker 7: into the number 434-882-4217. covering up the truth. It's the title.
• 1:07
  Speaker 7: And Janice writes in, Joe, how many times and how
• 1:11
  Speaker 7: many places are we going to see this happen where
• 1:18
  Speaker 7: the leftist agenda needs to be covered up when it
• 1:22
  Speaker 7: goes horrifically bad? How many dead bodies are in the
• 1:28
  Speaker 7: ground because of Marxism, yet we're told Marxism is the answer.
• 1:33
  Speaker 7: I know you've said this time and time again, and
• 1:35
  Speaker 7: I'm glad you do because not enough people point out
• 1:39
  Speaker 7: that populism allows the Marxists to drag the conservative to
• 1:44
  Speaker 7: the left. Out of this idea of being popular is
• 1:49
  Speaker 7: more important than being right. Thank you for looking out
• 1:52
  Speaker 7: for our kids. And I appreciate that, and I really do.
• 1:58
  Speaker 7: We need people to understand that our schools are failing us.
• 2:05
  Speaker 7: This is about the Albemarle County schools particularly here. But,
• 2:09
  Speaker 7: you know, as I said, do the math. If 16%
• 2:12
  Speaker 7: of the male population are minor attracted persons, and how
• 2:17
  Speaker 7: many people work in your school division, and you're going
• 2:21
  Speaker 7: to allow your school division to have special trans consultants
• 2:25
  Speaker 7: trans counselors sitting in your elementary schools. Understand this guy
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: in Charlottesville was in an elementary school sitting there with
• 2:33
  Speaker 7: second and third graders talking about, you know, things that
• 2:37
  Speaker 7: you shouldn't be talking about with a second grader, but
• 2:40
  Speaker 7: because second graders are subject not just to the TV stories,
• 2:45
  Speaker 7: but to unfortunately Munchausen parents who want their kids to
• 2:50
  Speaker 7: help them gain notoriety in their groups. This whole trans
• 2:56
  Speaker 7: issue exposes so many bad, ugly things in our humanity
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: that we need to work on. I mean, I just
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: I know we talk about how well, you know, media
• 3:06
  Speaker 7: loves to say we don't have time to talk about
• 3:08
  Speaker 7: all that. We have four hours and I don't feel
• 3:11
  Speaker 7: like we have sufficient time. Brazil's conservatives won. So if
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: the things go badly in the midterms, there's always that.
• 3:20
  Speaker 7: Congress has lurched to the right in Brazil after this
• 3:23
  Speaker 7: weekend's elections finally start to come out with some vote counts.
• 3:29
  Speaker 7: Final results show the Liberal Party and roughly 20 other
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: right-leaning parties winning 276 of the Chamber of Deputies' 513 seats.
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: The Liberal Party, classically using that name, not in the
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: modern American parlance, alone captured 121 seats. President Lula da
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: Silva's left-wing workers party won 70. And remember, he is
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: in a runoff with the conservative Bolsonaro after neither reached 50%.
• 4:04
  Speaker 7: Department of Homeland Security Wednesday proposed a $ 70, 000 fee for
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: foreign students for a work program that a department spokesperson
• 4:14
  Speaker 7: said has been turned into a pipeline for cheap foreign labor.
• 4:21
  Speaker 7: New York City's Orhan Mamdani is under fire for his
• 4:26
  Speaker 7: October 7th address to the city in which he acknowledged
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: Hamas attack on Israel in 2023, calling it a profoundly
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: painful time for so many New Yorkers. We grieve alongside
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: our many friends and neighbors, Mayor Mamdani said, who still
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: carry that unthinkable loss. And then said the suffering did
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: not begin nor end that day. and continues with the
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: ongoing genocide in Gaza. Federal Reserve officials expect another interest
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: rate hike. Officials unanimously agreed yesterday that inflation is still
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: elevated and had not made much progress towards their 2% goal.
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: The Fed increased its key interest rates at the September
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: 15-16 meeting, and they may do so again at this month's.
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: President Trump was asked about the plague death in Russia
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: and if it was the possible result of a bioweapons
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: development program. We're going to find out soon enough, the
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: president said, but I don't think so. Meanwhile, the World
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: Health Organization said, have no fear, we'll get to the
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: bottom of this. I'll pause and wait for the giggling
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: to stop at the other end of the radio. Meanwhile,
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: Robert Redfield said, said the serious question is if I
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: was working with plague and there had been an accident,
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: as they claim, I'd have been treated with antibiotics. It's
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: very treatable. I wouldn't have died. Meanwhile, Russian missile attacks

• 13:11
  Speaker 1: First thing today by joe thomas on the talk media network.
• 13:15
  Speaker 16: Here's to the travelers on the.
• 13:16
  Speaker 17: Open road.
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: Drink your health this morning. Or as the sage once said, boogity, boogity, boogity,
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: let's go racing, boys and girls. Joe Thomas at your service,
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: 434-882-4217 is the phone number. Once I've told you what
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: went on last night, I expect you to tell me
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: how it's impacting you, being the most important local aspect
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: of the radio station. We're going to visit with John
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: Adams coming up. I know. We did this bit on
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: July 4th when we visited with Thomas Jefferson, and it
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: was wonderful. But this is actually somebody named John Adams,
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: and he's written a book, a really fascinating look at
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: how life rolls in cycles. He's basically taken Plato's Republic
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: and turned it into an action movie. like Tom Clancy.
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: It's like if Tom Clancy sat down with Plato and said,
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: give me your story and I'm going to punch it
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: up a little bit and put it in the modern
• 14:55
  Speaker 7: milieu and such, but we're going to visit with John Clancy,
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: John C. Clancy, if you will, John C. Adams in
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: a little while. You see what happens, you get all
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: wound up in here. So now we're looking for bioweapons.
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: Press is, you know, and it's easy for anyone who
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: was watching press gaggle with President Trump yesterday to say, oh, sure,
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: now you're interested about bioweapons. Where were you in 2019
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: when the Wuhan Institute of Virology went, oops, allegedly? Where
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: were you when we first introduced you, and by introduced
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: I mean rubbed your noses in the pile of excrement
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: known as gain-of-function research? Where were you every time Tony
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: Take the Fifth, Leave the Cannolis Fauci, fired another Take
• 15:58
  Speaker 7: the Fifth like he was some mob informant called before
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: Robert F. Kennedy Sr. 's commission back in the 50s.
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: And it's easy to fall prey to that. And I'm
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: going to say, hang on to your powder. You might
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: need that black powder later. Because there are not just
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: this story, but multiple stories that should, if my consult
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: has any meaning to you, prove to you that we
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: are having an impact. Why would the press be asking
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: President Trump if the Russian lab death might have been
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: a place they were developing bioweapons if you, me, and
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: the people who heard Robert Malone testify to the fact
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: that by the end of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and the
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: development of using his mRNA it became clear that what
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: was going on was the response to a bioweapon attack
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: because that's why the US military needed quick deploy vaccine
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: templates because apparently a blind spot in the Hague still
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: two years later since we discovered it it's amazing how
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: slow these things move, Blindspot says, well, if you just
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: are making your opponent's soldiers really, really sick. And then
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: there's this story that I think goes to this same
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: thing in a much quicker fashion. Canada, or as we
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: like to call it, the U.S. light, has, upon being
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: caught with its medically assistance in death laws, suspended their
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: MAID program, which was going to allow people to ask
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: for and receive, you weren't going to be allowed to
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: deny somebody their MAID rights, simply for stating mental duress,
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: mental health issues. I'm having mental health issues. Will you
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: end my life for me, Canadian government?
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 18:46
  Speaker 13: I know.
• 18:47
  Speaker 16: I know.
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: The fact that somebody would even think that this is
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: a law worth writing is frightening enough. But then again,
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: you know, how much maple syrup before you start to
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: feel high? But Canada has halted this because you and
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: me called them out on it. And there are enough
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: voices that haven't been silenced by a far different world
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: in Canada regarding speech, where your content has to contain,
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: I think, 60% Canadian topics, or maybe it's 80. I
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: know it's an even number. And that's more than just
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: saying OOT. That means actually reporting on Canadian stories. There
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: are Canadian broadcasters and journalists reporting on the made men.
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: That's a second. mobster reference. Are you trying to tell
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: us something, Joe, that these people act like organized criminals?
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: They certainly are organized. The rest, well, I'll leave that
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: to you. I know how I feel about it. So
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: take heart, whether it's Portland or Chicago or San Antonio
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: or San Luis Obispo, the Inland Empire, St. Augustine, Florida,
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: wherever you may be, take heart because these are stories
• 20:31
  Speaker 7: that prove we are, how is it, Andy says it,
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: we're winning. They just don't want to admit it yet.
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: James Luck is on the line with us from jcsgold.com.
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: We'll get to him in a moment. Just hang on
• 20:44
  Speaker 7: the line with us and we'll come to you in
• 20:46

  Speaker 18: so far this morning. Gold is up just about a
• 20:56
  Speaker 18: little bit over a tenth of a percent, up $ 5
• 20:58
  Speaker 18: to $ 4, 116. Still really finding support there at that $ 4, 100 level. Silver,
• 21:00

• 21:09
  Speaker 18: major discount this morning. Silver is down over 1.75% to $ 58.
• 21:14
  Speaker 19: 73.

  Speaker 18: Silver is broken below the $ 60 support level and now

  Speaker 3: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, SUV, or light truck,
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: That's what you should use. But there are exceptions to
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: the rule. Many high-end or luxury vehicles call for premium
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: or higher octane fuel. And the reason for this is
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: not just due to the octane rating. There are better
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know, too,
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: that vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: your fuel choices around, say, every third tankful, you may
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: find better performance and miles per gallon because you are
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive. Just
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: don't tell your mechanic you're trying to replace them anytime soon.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: With your automotive prescription, I'm Ron Anany and the Car Doctor.

  Speaker 1: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: We've got to protect our phony baloney job, gentlemen.
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: We must do something about this immediately.
• 28:19
  Speaker 11: Immediately.
• 28:20
  Speaker 19: Immediately.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: Now I believe.
• 28:25
  Speaker 11: Oh, now I believe. They've come to town.
• 28:29
  Speaker 19: Everything just falls in line.
• 28:31
  Speaker 11: We live and learn.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: From our mistakes.
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: That's what you gotta be. You've got to understand that
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: this is a cycle. Uh, when we talk with John Adams, uh,
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: coming up next, John C Adams, uh, that's the point
• 28:47
  Speaker 7: of his book is take Plato's Republic, um, put it
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: in the modern milieu, you know, make it a little
• 28:53
  Speaker 7: more like a Tom Clancy novel and see what you get. Um,
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: and it's a fascinating retelling of it, but it's the
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: cyclical nature of our lives. I want to talk to
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: him about this. Um, Because we've watched it happen in
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: humanity's history. You know how I roll. I believe that
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: we can stop it maybe this time because we have
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: such an ability to be interactive with one another. That
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: we can change it. We can drag these stories that
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: they don't want in the sunlight. Look at California passing
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: its Nick Shirley law. Justice Alito the other day complaining
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: that there are too many emergency applications to the Supreme Court,
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: people rushing right to the Supreme Court.
• 29:40
  Speaker 20: Court.
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: It's because, Justice Alito, if I may, so many things
• 29:46
  Speaker 7: are being done unconstitutionally that, yes, there are a lot
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: of emergency applications to the Supreme Court, but Is that
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: because we're rushing to the Supreme Court for fun, or
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: are we doing it because there's an explosion, an epidemic
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: of people trying to do unconstitutional things? That would be
• 30:14
  Speaker 7: my view, and I imagine that other fellow named Thomas
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: on the Supreme Court might agree with me. No relation,
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: of course. Andy is hanging on the line with us. Andy,
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: we were just talking about you, that phrase you love
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: to use, that we're winning, they just don't want to
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: admit it.
• 30:30
  Speaker 16: That's for sure. I'm calling for like five different reasons.
• 30:36
  Speaker 7: Oh, wow. In an hour and a half, we've triggered
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: 80 this much in an hour.
• 30:41
  Speaker 16: That's Woodrow Calum entry. I don't know if the JCS
• 30:46
  Speaker 16: gold kids actually went to public schools or not. And
• 30:50
  Speaker 16: James's father was actually my son's tennis coach when he
• 30:54
  Speaker 16: was at the Covenant School.
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: A great, great parochial school.
• 30:59
  Speaker 16: A gay, you know, back-damaged kid ending up at the
• 31:03
  Speaker 16: Covenant School. And they didn't really know exactly what to
• 31:06
  Speaker 16: do with him, but they, you know.
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: I bet you they helped out a lot, you know,
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: and this is the thing that people, you know, that's incredible.
• 31:15
  Speaker 7: But this is the thing about these stories about the
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: public schools, Andy, is the public schools are dealing in
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: indulgence rather than help. So when a kid shows up at,
• 31:25
  Speaker 7: you know, even even the those counselors that are not
• 31:28
  Speaker 7: pedophiles like this one is accused of being an albemarle
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: at Woodbrook Elementary School. And now his principal is under indictment.
• 31:38
  Speaker 7: The Title IX coordinator and the human resources director are
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: under indictment for covering it up.
• 31:46
  Speaker 13: Why?
• 31:47
  Speaker 7: This is why I press, because this goes higher than
• 31:50
  Speaker 7: just the Title IX coordinator at a county school board.
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: This goes up politically to people who cannot have this
• 31:59
  Speaker 7: trans agenda exposed bare enough. It's ironic because these are
• 32:05
  Speaker 7: the same people who will run around and say, look
• 32:08
  Speaker 7: at what happened at a Catholic diocese or at a
• 32:10
  Speaker 7: Boy Scout group. But now all of a sudden it's
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: happening in their agenda at a school board. But we're
• 32:18
  Speaker 7: also failing the kids. You mentioned your son, Vax, damaged
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: gay proclivities. But if a kid is feeling gender dysphoria,
• 32:28
  Speaker 7: isn't it our responsibility as adults in their life to
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: help them through that pain because that is perhaps one
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: of the most underreported and under-understood mental health issues is
• 32:44
  Speaker 7: this need to hate yourself. And we've got to help
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: kids fix that because that's a bigger problem than whether
• 32:51
  Speaker 7: I'm a boy or a girl.
• 32:55
  Speaker 16: Well, when I was going, I was putting myself through
• 32:58
  Speaker 16: school because there were no programs for me. I had
• 33:03
  Speaker 16: to drop out for a year and a half because
• 33:05
  Speaker 16: my father hadn't paid a tuition bill at the College
• 33:10
  Speaker 16: of William & Mary. which was not the place I
• 33:13
  Speaker 16: wanted to start. But I had been accepted early decision
• 33:17
  Speaker 16: at UVA and wanted to go into probably not politics,
• 33:21
  Speaker 16: but go into kind of corporate law. That was kind
• 33:25
  Speaker 16: of my bent in terms of being a business person.
• 33:29
  Speaker 16: And it ended up playing out. But when I entered UVA,
• 33:33
  Speaker 16: I actually started in civil engineering. And so I had
• 33:38
  Speaker 16: all the freshman courses and a friend of mine who
• 33:42
  Speaker 16: I used to go out and hang out, watch Monday
• 33:45
  Speaker 16: Night Football, had told me about the Commerce School. I
• 33:50
  Speaker 16: could get out, like, in half the time because all
• 33:54
  Speaker 16: my classes.
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: No, seriously.
• 33:56
  Speaker 16: I mean, it's a five-year program.
• 34:01
  Speaker 15: It's civil.
• 34:02
  Speaker 7: So what other things have I triggered you with this morning,
• 34:05
  Speaker 7: this cover-up of the schools? Well, the Nick Shirley thing.
• 34:08
  Speaker 16: Well, I mean, that is like so horrific. The city
• 34:13
  Speaker 16: of Charlottesville, for instance, used to take– and I had
• 34:18
  Speaker 16: a wholesale supply, tennis supply business, and they would take
• 34:24
  Speaker 16: six or five months to actually pay their bills.
• 34:27
  Speaker 7: Oh, my God.
• 34:29
  Speaker 16: I mean, this is like I was like 25. I'm
• 34:33
  Speaker 16: 72 now. And so.
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: So this is a new behavior for them. But, you know,
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: but this this it's interesting. Charlottesville's the Charlottesville activist community,
• 34:44
  Speaker 7: including the elected officials, love their national news media until
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: it's this one. And they've been quashing this from getting
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: out to their friends on CNN and NBC and CBS virtually.
• 34:56
  Speaker 7: since it began back in January of this year.
• 35:01
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 35:01
  Speaker 16: Well, the other thing that got me was they, you know,
• 35:05
  Speaker 16: you mentioned the Nick Shirley.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:08
  Speaker 16: There's actually, I didn't, I knew he was from California.
• 35:11
  Speaker 16: I had never met him. But he was like the under, well,
• 35:17
  Speaker 16: it's not undercover so much now because he's like, you know,
• 35:21
  Speaker 16: a target.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Of the left.
• 35:23
  Speaker 7: James O'Keefe, how much undercover can you do if you're
• 35:27
  Speaker 7: on the news?
• 35:27
  Speaker 16: Well, no, I mean, I went over there last year.
• 35:30
  Speaker 16: And I mean, at the last minute, I mean, I
• 35:32
  Speaker 16: have a pretty serious, you know, just a car crash
• 35:36
  Speaker 16: thing and just moving around and going and doing stuff
• 35:38
  Speaker 16: like that. was kind of hard by a friend who's
• 35:43
  Speaker 16: in kind of the art world you know he has
• 35:46
  Speaker 16: like seven layers in his art business and he had
• 35:50
  Speaker 16: uh at the last minute you know james was trying
• 35:53
  Speaker 16: to get me over there i had already taken all
• 35:57
  Speaker 16: the archives that i had from the 2020 election i
• 36:01
  Speaker 16: had actually funded.
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: Oh, the look, yeah, those ghosts and all those things. Yeah,
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: the Senate.
• 36:09
  Speaker 16: I mean, I funded that personally, undercover. And, you know,
• 36:14
  Speaker 16: I was out of this funding source, and I'm still here.
• 36:18
  Speaker 7: Thank God for that. But, I mean, this is the
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: stuff that I was pointing out. You know, when this
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: Nick Shirley law gets to the Supreme Court, It's all
• 36:30
  Speaker 7: this intransparency that they want. They don't want to comply
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: with FOIA requests after they insisted that FOIA laws be written.
• 36:40
  Speaker 7: Kareem mentioned sunshine laws. All the sunshine laws do are
• 36:43
  Speaker 7: create loopholes for the government to hide from the sunshine.
• 36:48
  Speaker 7: And so they can look like they're being transparent when
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: they're not.
• 36:53
  Speaker 16: Well, you're so right. And the other thing, I guess
• 36:57
  Speaker 16: that I left Virginia after reporting some really serious crimes.
• 37:02
  Speaker 16: The president of the University of Virginia was actually, he
• 37:07
  Speaker 16: did most of his academic training at UC Berkeley.
• 37:14
  Speaker 7: Oh, that makes sense.
• 37:15
  Speaker 16: And that's where he met his Hegelian wife. I'm sure
• 37:20
  Speaker 16: she's seen Marxist.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: A little bit of it.
• 37:23
  Speaker 7: I'm sure she seemed conservative by Berkeley standards. But, hey,
• 37:28
  Speaker 7: we've got a break coming up here, Andy. Thank you, sir.
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: God bless you, and you keep on keeping on.
• 37:32
  Speaker 16: Just you too. You know, just keep doing it because we're,
• 37:36
  Speaker 16: you know, it's important we are winning.
• 37:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we just got to get them doing it.
• 37:40
  Speaker 16: Connecting moral people is kind of, that's my focus now.
• 37:45
  Speaker 7: Amen to that. Thank you, sir.
• 37:46
  Speaker 9: 434-882-4217.
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: John C.
• 37:46
  Speaker 13: Adams.
• 37:52
  Speaker 7: So, hey, we can still say we had John Adams
• 37:54
  Speaker 7: on the program and Thomas Jefferson in the same year
• 37:58
  Speaker 7: coming up on First Thing Today.
• 37:59
  Speaker 23: Can you believe with all the recent violent protests, looting
• 38:05
  Speaker 23: and destruction, some areas are considering either defunding or abolishing
• 38:09
  Speaker 23: the police? At a time when America's neighborhoods need the
• 38:13
  Speaker 23: protection of police the most, some elected officials would rather
• 38:17
  Speaker 23: create more chaos by playing politics. If you're sick of

  Speaker 8: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 39:07
  Speaker 8: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 39:13
  Speaker 8: I'm Dr.
• 39:14
  Speaker 13: Mitch.
• 39:14
  Speaker 8: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation... Our optimized curcumin seems
• 39:20
  Speaker 8: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 39:24
  Speaker 8: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 39:29
  Speaker 8: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 39:33
  Speaker 8: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 39:39
  Speaker 8: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or at
• 39:44
  Speaker 8: least slow the spread of cancer and in many instances
• 39:47
  Speaker 8: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even

  Speaker 15: Hi, everybody.
• 40:59
  Speaker 26: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 41:01
  Speaker 26: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 41:05
  Speaker 26: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 41:06
  Speaker 26: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 41:09
  Speaker 26: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes.
• 41:13
  Speaker 7: Who work hard to provide for their young.
• 41:14
  Speaker 26: Or penguins, who travel up to 500 miles to secure
• 41:18
  Speaker 26: food for their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump
• 41:21
  Speaker 26: allows them to navigate the trees and the wild in
• 41:23
  Speaker 26: search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by
• 41:26
  Speaker 26: our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are our
• 41:29
  Speaker 26: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 41:32
  Speaker 26: they also perform life-saving work every day. Dogs keep us
• 41:35
  Speaker 26: safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom
• 41:38
  Speaker 26: suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when
• 41:41
  Speaker 26: there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have
• 41:44
  Speaker 26: a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society
• 41:47
  Speaker 26: and help those in need. So please join me and
• 41:49

  Speaker 7: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 42:04
  Speaker 22: And now a speech.
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: Heart and brain.
• 42:12
  Speaker 7: Who's with me?
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: call me a ride.
• 42:20
  Speaker 21: Love that guy.
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: Me too.

  Speaker 1: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: For the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence
• 44:34
  Speaker 6: and the 37 who signed the Constitution.
• 44:36
  Speaker 7: And here's to you, Mr.
• 44:38
  Speaker 20: Jefferson.
• 44:40
  Speaker 7: We all miss.
• 44:41
  Speaker 24: You more than you will.
• 44:42
  Speaker 7: So I was asked if I was interested in talking
• 44:45
  Speaker 7: to John Adams. And I went, all right, this is
• 44:48
  Speaker 7: because on July 4th, we had that wonderful performer that
• 44:54
  Speaker 7: goes out and performs as Thomas Jefferson. We had a
• 44:57
  Speaker 7: great chat. He's a great interpreter of it. They said, no, no, no,
• 45:01
  Speaker 7: this guy's real name is John Adams, John C.
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: Adams.
• 45:05
  Speaker 7: And he's got a book called The Third Phase. It's
• 45:08
  Speaker 7: a political thriller. And it just came out. On Tuesday,
• 45:14
  Speaker 7: that's when the new book releases happen. He's on the
• 45:17
  Speaker 7: newsmakers line with us. And John, I appreciate you and
• 45:20
  Speaker 7: thank you for the new book. But first, I have
• 45:22
  Speaker 7: to ask, are you any relation to to that other
• 45:28
  Speaker 7: John Adams in history?
• 45:32
  Speaker 17: No, we did the Ancestry.com and no relation, although I
• 45:39
  Speaker 17: get upgrades at hotels in Boston, so I'll take that
• 45:42
  Speaker 17: as a win.
• 45:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, don't say Ancestry.com or anything about DNA around Monticello.
• 45:49
  Speaker 7: these days, but unless you want to fight, and then
• 45:55
  Speaker 7: that's a different matter. That's a personal choice there. So
• 46:00
  Speaker 7: let's talk about the new book that just came out,
• 46:04
  Speaker 7: and the premise of it, it's a new political thriller.
• 46:09
  Speaker 7: I know that you are into a very busy period
• 46:17
  Speaker 7: of I'm sure, more political thrillers. I think the news
• 46:20
  Speaker 7: today is setting the scene for political thrillers all around.
• 46:24
  Speaker 7: Tell us about yours and what inspired you to write
• 46:27
  Speaker 7: it in the first place.
• 46:29
  Speaker 17: Oh, thank you. Well, the idea came from my three daughters,
• 46:32
  Speaker 17: who are now grown. They grew up with me being
• 46:35
  Speaker 17: an investment banker during the day, but my passion was
• 46:38
  Speaker 17: to be the youth pastor at our church as they
• 46:40
  Speaker 17: were growing up. And I would I would try to
• 46:43
  Speaker 17: take the wisdom of the great books and translate that
• 46:46
  Speaker 17: into games and stories that teenagers could understand. So a
• 46:50
  Speaker 17: couple of years ago, I'm with my daughters who are
• 46:52
  Speaker 17: by now mid-20s, and we had a dinner where they
• 46:57
  Speaker 17: wanted to create their ideal world, how the world ought
• 47:00
  Speaker 17: to be, pretty different from how it is. And when
• 47:04
  Speaker 17: we got to the end of that discussion, they said, Dad,
• 47:06
  Speaker 17: you should write a book. You should do Plato's Republic,
• 47:09
  Speaker 17: but make it into an action movie. And so I
• 47:13
  Speaker 17: spent the last two years and that's what I did.
• 47:15
  Speaker 7: So that's an interesting concept. But I mean, I'm keen
• 47:21
  Speaker 7: on because I talk to folks who are, you know,
• 47:24
  Speaker 7: faithful people and they're loyal and devout members of their church.
• 47:29
  Speaker 7: And they just the role of the minister to to
• 47:34
  Speaker 7: take what's going on today and make it applicable to
• 47:39
  Speaker 7: them to a sermon. is really, I love to watch
• 47:45
  Speaker 7: it done with great craft because it reminds me of
• 47:48
  Speaker 7: what I do every morning, certainly to a lower import,
• 47:52
  Speaker 7: to take the news of the day, bring it to
• 47:54
  Speaker 7: some person who's just trying to get started in the morning,
• 47:58
  Speaker 7: get their day started and make sense of it all.
• 48:02
  Speaker 7: So I think you might be uniquely qualified to do
• 48:05
  Speaker 7: that to Plato's Republic.
• 48:09
  Speaker 17: Well, you know the Malcolm Gladwell thesis that you have
• 48:13
  Speaker 17: to spend 10,000 hours to become expert at something. And
• 48:18
  Speaker 17: in a strange way, I've spent my 10,000 hours reading
• 48:22
  Speaker 17: the news, reading politics as I'm working on M &
• 48:25
  Speaker 17: A deals around the world while I'm trying to translate
• 48:28
  Speaker 17: the great books into something that's easy to understand. So
• 48:32
  Speaker 17: I put my 10,000 hours in doing that, and I
• 48:36
  Speaker 17: use that skill, I think, a bit in writing the books.
• 48:39
  Speaker 7: Where do people find the book online? Is it just
• 48:42
  Speaker 7: best to go to Amazon, or do you have a
• 48:45
  Speaker 7: publisher's website?
• 48:47
  Speaker 17: Well, Amazon is great, and there's an audio version as
• 48:50
  Speaker 17: well that came out yesterday. Any of the major bookstores.
• 48:55
  Speaker 17: But I would encourage everyone to go to my website,
• 48:58
  Speaker 17: which is thethirdphasenovel.com, because I've done a companion guide that's
• 49:04
  Speaker 17: quite extensive. It's 130 pages. The first part of the standard...
• 49:08
  Speaker 17: open-ended book club questions, but the bulk of it is
• 49:12
  Speaker 17: really a textbook and a guide through the symbolism and
• 49:17
  Speaker 17: the underlying meaning of the word. and how this book
• 49:21
  Speaker 17: really does interact with both Plato's Republic and Augustine's Confessions.
• 49:25
  Speaker 17: You mentioned faith, and the real secret is that the
• 49:28
  Speaker 17: book is as much about Augustine's Confessions and his answers
• 49:31
  Speaker 17: to Plato.
• 49:32
  Speaker 9: As anything else.
• 49:33
  Speaker 17: So I'd encourage people to go to the website, thethirdphasenovel.com,
• 49:37
  Speaker 17: and get the companion guide. It's free.
• 49:38
  Speaker 7: It's free.
• 49:39
  Speaker 17: It's a free download.
• 49:40
  Speaker 7: Well, you've already made the first mistake of publishing, John.
• 49:43
  Speaker 7: John C. Adams is on with us, thethirdphasenovel.com. One of
• 49:48
  Speaker 7: the reasons I was compelled by what you did is
• 49:51
  Speaker 7: one of the things that dogs me as I lay
• 49:53
  Speaker 7: out the stories before my listeners is And I want
• 49:58
  Speaker 7: your opinion on my feeling about this. And it gets
• 50:00
  Speaker 7: me up every morning because we've seen this cycle before
• 50:04
  Speaker 7: in human history. You know, the liberty becomes apathy, becomes tyranny.
• 50:10
  Speaker 7: And there's obviously steps in between, but we've seen this
• 50:12
  Speaker 7: cycle several times. And my feeling is, and this is
• 50:17
  Speaker 7: what drives me, is that with our technology and our
• 50:21
  Speaker 7: ability to communicate and our ability to share stories, we
• 50:25
  Speaker 7: might have the first unique opportunity to stop the cycle,
• 50:33
  Speaker 7: to avoid the inevitable fall to tyranny before it costs
• 50:38
  Speaker 7: thousands and thousands of people's lives to win liberty back.
• 50:42
  Speaker 7: Do you share that thought?
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh.
• 50:45
  Speaker 17: I cannot believe you just said that. You must have
• 50:48
  Speaker 17: somehow read my book.
• 50:50
  Speaker 7: I mean, seriously.
• 50:52
  Speaker 17: I know, I know. But the thesis— In the political arc,
• 50:56
  Speaker 17: the thesis is that we can use technology to actually
• 51:00
  Speaker 17: finally become much more democratic than we are because right
• 51:04
  Speaker 17: now we have a system that is driven by parties
• 51:07
  Speaker 17: and the lobbying complex, and they have a vice grip
• 51:10
  Speaker 17: on our society. And we can use technology to, A,
• 51:13
  Speaker 17: inform people better, which Socrates would love, and actually the
• 51:18
  Speaker 17: people can have sovereignty finally because of technology. So you
• 51:21
  Speaker 17: completely nailed it, absolutely nailed it.
• 51:23
  Speaker 7: Well, then good, because then I don't feel like I'm
• 51:25
  Speaker 7: getting up just to give my wife some more space
• 51:28
  Speaker 7: in the bed each morning. Because humans don't want tyranny.
• 51:36
  Speaker 7: But what I've watched is this gaslighting that infuriates me
• 51:42
  Speaker 7: because one of the things that I love about people
• 51:45
  Speaker 7: is each one has these amazing gifts. And to see
• 51:48
  Speaker 7: them told that you don't have the ability to take
• 51:51
  Speaker 7: care of yourself or to do something that is yours,
• 51:54
  Speaker 7: uniquely yours, and care for a family and raise a family.
• 51:59
  Speaker 7: It honestly angers me in ways that you shouldn't anger
• 52:02
  Speaker 7: a kid who grew up in New York City because
• 52:05
  Speaker 7: I want to take somebody out into the back alley
• 52:07
  Speaker 7: and teach them what for, for trying to downplay people's
• 52:12
  Speaker 7: ability to achieve for themselves, especially in the light of
• 52:15
  Speaker 7: the fact that they're just doing it for political positions.
• 52:20
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 52:21
  Speaker 17: Well, one of the things that I say in the
• 52:23
  Speaker 17: book is that we have politicians that love their party
• 52:27
  Speaker 17: more than their country.
• 52:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's true.
• 52:30
  Speaker 17: Which is a classic problem that Socrates outlined. Our founding fathers,
• 52:33
  Speaker 17: my namesake, who was mentioned in the beginning, was a
• 52:39
  Speaker 17: big proponent of that. So, no, you're absolutely right.
• 52:43
  Speaker 7: That's the worst thing you can tell me in the morning.
• 52:45
  Speaker 7: John C. Adams, hang on. The book is The Third Phase,
• 52:49
  Speaker 7: and it's out now.
• 52:51
  Speaker 24: You know, it's true.
• 52:52
  Speaker 6: Difficult times have a way of focusing us. We have
• 52:55
  Speaker 6: to think about what matters most when it comes to
• 52:57
  Speaker 6: our spending, our health care. This is why so many
• 53:00
  Speaker 6: people are joining MediShare right now. MediShare is a trusted
