Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: His bass mighty base continue to be free winked by
- 0:06Speaker 1: a woke past Charlottan.
- 0:07Speaker 2: First thing today on the talk media at Hey by
- 0:11Speaker 2: Joe Thomas hang On, the second most famous Thomas and
- 0:14Speaker 2: Charlottesville jewort.
- 0:15Speaker 3: Said, steal metem.
- 0:18Speaker 4: You have a day, please for work when the sun
- 0:21Speaker 4: comes up, drops a pet discom.
- 0:25Speaker 2: Joe has everything, A dreamer all.
- 0:28Speaker 5: The treasure said, needs no one that Joe's as smile.
- 0:33Speaker 6: He only as what you did there I see it, Joe.
- 0:38Speaker 7: Bless you for letting me be of service to you
- 0:40Speaker 7: this morning.
- 0:41Speaker 5: I want to be Joe.
- 0:44Speaker 6: Oh and we are loaded for bear this morning. Tons
- 0:48Speaker 6: of folks uh, including you and me, getting together for
- 0:52Speaker 6: this Thursday morning where we tell you the news, we
- 0:56Speaker 6: tell you what we see in between the lines of
- 0:59Speaker 6: the news, and then most importantly, I want to hear
- 1:02Speaker 6: how it's impacting you where you are, either by text
- 1:05Speaker 6: message or you can call in at four three four
- 1:08Speaker 6: eight eight two four two one seven. That number works regardless,
- 1:14Speaker 6: use it as the multitasker that it is, or you
- 1:16Speaker 6: can shoot me an email at JT in the morning
- 1:20Speaker 6: radio at gmail dot com. So that was a slightly
- 1:27Speaker 6: misreper the guy you heard was former CIA director John Brennan.
- 1:32Speaker 6: And he's not talking about me, though you made it
- 1:35Speaker 6: sound like that, he's talking about Donald Trump.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Bass as nugget base continued to be hoodwinked by a
- 1:44Speaker 1: world class charlatan.
- 1:45Speaker 7: So which is it?
- 1:46Speaker 6: And this has always been my conundrum with the way
- 1:49Speaker 6: the left and the Marxists and the authoritarians. Really Brennan
- 1:54Speaker 6: is more of an authoritarian that they has any political ideology.
- 1:58Speaker 6: He just knows better for you how your life should
- 2:01Speaker 6: be led and will enact it as same. And that's
- 2:04Speaker 6: exactly the kind of stuff you wanted a CIA director.
- 2:07Speaker 8: Give me.
- 2:07Speaker 2: The whole thing is something that.
- 2:10Speaker 1: Is deeply flawed about Donald Trump, even though he has
- 2:14Speaker 1: enormous political power, much more so than any previous public
- 2:18Speaker 1: the president, and he's exercising that, he's pushing the boundaries
- 2:21Speaker 1: of it. And what I find most shocking is that
- 2:24Speaker 1: his base, his mega base, continued to be hoodwinked by
- 2:29Speaker 1: a world class charlatan.
- 2:30Speaker 6: To which is he? Is he a really powerful, you
- 2:33Speaker 6: know president that's doing things that no president before or
- 2:38Speaker 6: after has been able to accomplish, or is he a
- 2:41Speaker 6: world class charlatan? Is he a bumbling idiot who's just
- 2:48Speaker 6: going to use his inability to see beyond the tree
- 2:52Speaker 6: in front of him the remainder of the forest. Or
- 2:55Speaker 6: is he a world class charlatan. Is he can convinced
- 3:00Speaker 6: the entire planet or at least half of it, that
- 3:04Speaker 6: he's got it all under control, and he fear not
- 3:10Speaker 6: he's there for you, because you can't have it both ways.
- 3:17Speaker 6: Either he's a bumbling then kom poop or he's the
- 3:23Speaker 6: greatest genius. Since I don't know Socrates. And maybe it
- 3:34Speaker 6: matters as to what your agenda is, how you want
- 3:37Speaker 6: to portray Trump, And so Brennan wanted you to understand
- 3:41Speaker 6: how smart he is. It has to make Trump out
- 3:45Speaker 6: to be this bond villain esque character. Otherwise, how would
- 3:52Speaker 6: he be hung by his petard by such a bumbling
- 3:57Speaker 6: fool if he bought into the bumbling fool narrative? How
- 4:01Speaker 6: do we get you? How did you wind up on
- 4:04Speaker 6: his hook? See, you can't rationalize that otherwise, So much
- 4:10Speaker 6: going on the left wing press is just fixated on
- 4:14Speaker 6: the three hundred million dollar ballroom in the East wing
- 4:19Speaker 6: or replacing the East Wing of the White House. President
- 4:21Speaker 6: Trump confirming that yesterday afternoon, he said after discussing with architects,

- 6:47Speaker 6: and he slapped sanctions on Russia's two largest oil companies
- 6:52Speaker 6: after concluding that Putin was not being honest and forthright.
- 6:58Speaker 6: And those are our first things.
- 7:01Speaker 7: You know.
- 7:01Speaker 9: It's true.
- 7:02Speaker 5: Difficult times have a way of focusing us. We have
- 7:05Speaker 5: to think about what matters most when it comes to
- 7:07Speaker 5: our spending, our healthcare. This is why so many people
- 7:11Speaker 5: are joining Meta share right now. Metas Share is a

- 8:03Speaker 10: Considered by most Optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 8:13Speaker 10: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 10: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 10: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 10: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:36Speaker 10: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42Speaker 10: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46Speaker 10: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51Speaker 10: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

- 13:15Speaker 2: The first thing today on the Talk Media Network by
- 13:19Speaker 2: Joe Thomas.
- 13:30Speaker 6: So a little bit later on this hour, we're going
- 13:33Speaker 6: to be visiting with one of the founding members of
- 13:35Speaker 6: the Trans Siberian Orchestra of the Drummer, Jeff Plates heading
- 13:42Speaker 6: back into the rehearsal studios out on the road in
- 13:46Speaker 6: a couple of weeks and maybe about three weeks, I guess,
- 13:51Speaker 6: depending on where you grew up, three is part of
- 13:54Speaker 6: a couple. But we'll also be doing some more ticket
- 13:57Speaker 6: giveaway drawings if you haven't entered yet. We have tickets
- 14:01Speaker 6: for shows in New Orleans and San Antonio, and I
- 14:06Speaker 6: know folks have been entering all over the place. Our
- 14:08Speaker 6: friends in Norfolk have entered for the DC show. Also
- 14:12Speaker 6: available to our flagship station. We're trying not to make
- 14:16Speaker 6: you drive too far. These are cities Portland, Oregon where
- 14:20Speaker 6: you can hear the show and the band is playing,
- 14:25Speaker 6: and so we picked those because there's this confluence of
- 14:28Speaker 6: the two of us. And I've been doing this for
- 14:31Speaker 6: twenty five years, as long as the band's been out there.
- 14:34Speaker 6: My wife and I have been going and we've been
- 14:37Speaker 6: promoting and giving away tickets to the shows. Always feel
- 14:41Speaker 6: guilty because they give a dollar from every ticket sale
- 14:45Speaker 6: to a local charity, food banks, and we you know,
- 14:49Speaker 6: with the snap benefits and all of that, bringing the
- 14:53Speaker 6: poverty issue in the country to the four and we
- 14:57Speaker 6: can delve into that a little bit, but they do
- 15:01Speaker 6: that with every ticket sold. So I always feel this
- 15:03Speaker 6: guilt trip of every ticket I give away is a
- 15:06Speaker 6: ticket that I didn't sell for them. But if you
- 15:09Speaker 6: go to trans Siberian dot com you can get your tickets.
- 15:13Speaker 6: If you don't get them for free from me. To
- 15:15Speaker 6: enter to win the tickets, go to Joe Thomas in
- 15:19Speaker 6: the Morning dot com. Joe Thomas in the Morning dot
- 15:23Speaker 6: com is the website, and then you click on the
- 15:25Speaker 6: Trans Siberian Orchestra. Now there are people in this fixation
- 15:31Speaker 6: with the East Wing. I mean, I'm waiting for somebody
- 15:35Speaker 6: has has Nora O'Donnell lost Martin Sheen's phone number? Can
- 15:45Speaker 6: we insert into all these conversations with Alison Janney and
- 15:51Speaker 6: Bradley Whitford in their promo tour to try to resuscitate
- 15:56Speaker 6: The Diplomat TV show? God, how bad were the ratings
- 16:02Speaker 6: for The Diplomat. All I get and I'm not even
- 16:06Speaker 6: tied into some of these shows. I never watched The
- 16:08Speaker 6: Diplomat yet everything I get is oh, check out this
- 16:12Speaker 6: interview with Bradley Whitford and Alice and Jenny their West
- 16:17Speaker 6: Wing reunion. Now she's playing the President of the United
- 16:21Speaker 6: States and he is the first gentleman on this TV
- 16:26Speaker 6: service from what I'm told anyway, But they were two
- 16:28Speaker 6: of the cast members on the West Wing TV show.
- 16:32Speaker 6: But you know, these folks will all be asked at
- 16:34Speaker 6: some point about the renovations. The three hundred million dollar
- 16:37Speaker 6: ballroom that's being built. President's showing off the engineering and
- 16:42Speaker 6: architectural mockups of it. I don't see where everyone's losing
- 16:48Speaker 6: their bowel control over this. They've voided their lower intestines
- 16:52Speaker 6: into their pants, as if one of somebody called it
- 16:57Speaker 6: a gut punch? Was it? Jensaki called it a gut
- 17:00Speaker 6: punch to watch the facade being taken off the east
- 17:05Speaker 6: wing of the Quick note, east Wing not an original
- 17:10Speaker 6: part of the White House.
- 17:14Speaker 7: I've got news for you. The Oval Office not originally
- 17:18Speaker 7: part of the White House. It was added when the
- 17:22Speaker 7: West Wing was added. East Wing built in nineteen o
- 17:27Speaker 7: two and then was expanded and renovated in nineteen forty two.
- 17:36Speaker 7: It's not like this is the Parthenon, which, by the way,
- 17:40Speaker 7: that's second on my internet feed of things that show up.
- 17:44Speaker 6: As little ad lits and little look you can go
- 17:47Speaker 6: and there's no scaffolding there. I didn't get hits like
- 17:51Speaker 6: this when they took the scaffolding off the Capitol Building
- 17:53Speaker 6: in Washington. This is historically where the first Lady worked
- 18:05Speaker 6: and her staff was worked out of the East Wing.
- 18:09Speaker 6: I want to know what was going on. Well, no,
- 18:11Speaker 6: Woodrow Wilson was a bachelor, that widower. But there's you know,
- 18:23Speaker 6: there are offices in the East Wing, and there are
- 18:26Speaker 6: obviously logistics issues. But Malania isn't living at the White
- 18:32Speaker 6: House anyway, She's able to remember. The press made big
- 18:35Speaker 6: hay about that because she's staying with barn in New
- 18:39Speaker 6: York while he goes to college there because hashtag college kids,
- 18:44Speaker 6: you know, keep an eye. But it's it's not like
- 18:49Speaker 6: this thing was part of the original White House. And
- 18:52Speaker 6: there's a deeper problem with this fixation with these symbols.
- 19:01Speaker 6: What does the White House stand for? What does the
- 19:04Speaker 6: American flag stand for? That's a bigger issue than the physical.
- 19:11Speaker 2: Issue.
- 19:12Speaker 6: Joel Texan said, I've been to the Parthenon, really cool.
- 19:16Speaker 6: I've been to Nashville's version of the Parthenon. That's very
- 19:19Speaker 6: cool as well. They're on the campus of Vanderbilt University.
- 19:23Speaker 6: If you've ever been to Nashville. As an interesting an
- 19:28Speaker 6: interesting mockup of it, I guess it was from the
- 19:31Speaker 6: World's Fair. At one point, they built a parthenon in Nashville, Tennessee.
- 19:38Speaker 6: And you know, it's an interesting and ironic juxtaposition between
- 19:43Speaker 6: the drunk, middle aged Caucasian women in these drink buses,
- 19:49Speaker 6: these booze buses driving up and down the streets of Nashville,
- 19:53Speaker 6: hooton and holler and trying to find you know, Clint
- 19:56Speaker 6: Black or whoever it is, Luke Bryan stopping at kid Rocks,
- 20:02Speaker 6: speak easy and just getting their drink on. If you
- 20:07Speaker 6: ever go to Las Vegas and you say, gosh, where
- 20:09Speaker 6: are all these you know, the guys are out there
- 20:10Speaker 6: all gambling and drinking and hooting a holler, and you say,
- 20:14Speaker 6: where are their wives? During this? They're in Nashville. But
- 20:18Speaker 6: you walk away from that, and then there's this giant
- 20:20Speaker 6: parthenon there on the Vanderbilt University. It's just it's a
- 20:24Speaker 6: city full of contradictions almost in terms. We get to
- 20:29Speaker 6: you at four three four eight A two four two
- 20:31Speaker 6: one seven, Good morning. Who's this.
- 20:35Speaker 20: Hey?
- 20:35Speaker 21: It's Moscow, Bob, Hey, Bob. Question for you? Yeah, how
- 20:39Speaker 21: come no one no one complained when Barack Obama built
- 20:43Speaker 21: a basketball court that is only useful for a certain
- 20:47Speaker 21: number of people, whereas this ballroom will be used for everyone.
- 20:54Speaker 21: And also, how come no one would complaining about Jerome Powell,
- 20:58Speaker 21: the FED chairman, spending two hundred and fifty billion dollars
- 21:02Speaker 21: redecorating his office, of which he's going to be gone
- 21:05Speaker 21: in the year.
- 21:09Speaker 6: Well, you see, that's the thing. See, they're on the
- 21:11Speaker 6: correct side of the narrative, Bob, They're they're good guys there.
- 21:16Speaker 6: You know, it's like Brennan's you know, oh, he's this
- 21:19Speaker 6: he's this trickster that's gotten the MAGA based completely hoodwinked,
- 21:26Speaker 6: says the former CIA director. I imagine that's what he
- 21:30Speaker 6: learned in the Steel dossier. But that's the Obama is
- 21:35Speaker 6: allowed to do stuff like that because he's a good guy.
- 21:38Speaker 6: He's you know, he's going to hope for change or
- 21:41Speaker 6: leave us with change or something like that. Right, Yeah,

- 24:03Speaker 10: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 24:07Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 24:12Speaker 10: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18Speaker 10: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22Speaker 10: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26Speaker 10: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 10: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:41Speaker 10: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 24:45Speaker 10: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

- 28:28Speaker 20: Some of you.
- 28:28Speaker 6: Tell the story and it's it's somewhere in our first Things.
- 28:33Speaker 6: Finland's Prime Minister is begging President Trump to send the Tomahawks.
- 28:39Speaker 6: NATO's boss Root is saying, thank you for not sending
- 28:45Speaker 6: Oh bless you for not sending those bob In Moscow,
- 28:49Speaker 6: we got a whole bunch of folks lining up on
- 28:51Speaker 6: the phones this morning. What is it like in Moscow?
- 28:55Speaker 7: What's the movie.
- 28:56Speaker 21: Typical autumn leather. But it's it's just it's gonna crazy
- 29:00Speaker 21: United States with all this you know, back and forth
- 29:06Speaker 21: and the childish behavior of the politicians.
- 29:12Speaker 6: Do you expect you expect politicians to be not childish? Wow?
- 29:19Speaker 21: Well, in most countries I travel to and visit and
- 29:23Speaker 21: have friends, and there they seem to be more on
- 29:26Speaker 21: top of the game, okay, or at least they're not
- 29:29Speaker 21: as vocal as what it is. I mean, like in
- 29:32Speaker 21: Germany and you know, sain Italy, it's not as vocal
- 29:39Speaker 21: and as hatred. That's what's going on in the United
- 29:42Speaker 21: States right now.
- 29:44Speaker 6: Well, I think that's that's part and parcel of this
- 29:47Speaker 6: fixation with democracy and that I can vote for my
- 29:50Speaker 6: own self interests because that leads to this stuff and
- 29:54Speaker 6: and it really is. I mean, you listen to some
- 29:57Speaker 6: of these folks, and it's what they do for a living.
- 30:00Speaker 6: It's they vote for a living if you vote for
- 30:02Speaker 6: the right person. Rather than talking about the snap benefits
- 30:07Speaker 6: and why we have so many people on supplemental nutrition
- 30:11Speaker 6: programs or food stamps. You know, we sit and we
- 30:16Speaker 6: complain that the government is shut down and therefore the
- 30:18Speaker 6: money may run out. I mean, you know, let's let's
- 30:21Speaker 6: actually focus on the real problem.
- 30:25Speaker 8: Right.
- 30:25Speaker 21: It's true, but that, like they said, that's democracy. It's
- 30:29Speaker 21: what was voted for and for the Democrats. Democracy is
- 30:33Speaker 21: okay as long as it's the vocals their way. If
- 30:37Speaker 21: it doesn't go their way, then it's not democracy.
- 30:40Speaker 2: Right.
- 30:40Speaker 6: They somebody cheated and stuffed the ballot box, not that
- 30:43Speaker 6: they would know anything about that. Peace to you, my friend,
- 30:46Speaker 6: enjoy the Moscow afternoon. Have a mule for me? Uh
- 30:50Speaker 6: And next down the line four three four eight eight
- 30:53Speaker 6: two four two one seven. I want to know how
- 30:56Speaker 6: the news is impacting you where you are.
- 30:58Speaker 7: Good morning?
- 30:58Speaker 6: Who's the good morning?
- 31:00Speaker 21: Judge?
- 31:01Speaker 8: Joel?
- 31:01Speaker 7: Hey Joel?
- 31:02Speaker 6: How are you doing in Florida?
- 31:04Speaker 23: Okay? Still, job hunting is pretty rough.
- 31:07Speaker 6: I know it's well, and it is sad because so
- 31:12Speaker 6: many places. I don't know if Florida is different than
- 31:14Speaker 6: a lot of other places. You tell me it sounds
- 31:17Speaker 6: like it might be. You know, are running public service announcements,
- 31:21Speaker 6: trying to get kids to go to technical school to
- 31:24Speaker 6: learn nursing, and there are all sorts of programs in Virginia.
- 31:27Speaker 6: They just throw money at you. If you say I
- 31:30Speaker 6: want to take the you know, the community college beginning
- 31:33Speaker 6: nursing courses.
- 31:34Speaker 7: Oh, two years.
- 31:35Speaker 6: At community college, you're working as a nurse, and then
- 31:37Speaker 6: you know, I actually one of the I can't remember
- 31:41Speaker 6: whether it's jmu's Health System or Centaura, but one of
- 31:46Speaker 6: the health system higher ups in the medical field started
- 31:49Speaker 6: as a nurse at a community college, put herself through
- 31:52Speaker 6: school there, and then as she worked as a nurse,
- 31:55Speaker 6: professional development kept putting her into other classes. Eventually got
- 31:59Speaker 6: a medical degree out of the whole thing. So, I mean,
- 32:02Speaker 6: you know, if you want to talk about the ultimate
- 32:05Speaker 6: blue collar job, and I count nursing as a blue
- 32:08Speaker 6: collar job, it doesn't take a lot to get into it.
- 32:12Speaker 6: You put the effort into it, and you can grow
- 32:14Speaker 6: and you can add all the different accreditations, the licenses,
- 32:20Speaker 6: the different you know, grades that you can go up.
- 32:24Speaker 7: I mean Johnny's bar the door, you know.
- 32:27Speaker 6: And we need them. I mean, as the baby boomers
- 32:30Speaker 6: start to lose their bowel control, Joel, we need nurses
- 32:34Speaker 6: for these you know, sixties hippies with their chronic you know, hepatitis.
- 32:38Speaker 6: Don't know where that came from, uh and uh and
- 32:41Speaker 6: and other health needs. So we need more nurses. Maybe
- 32:45Speaker 6: Florida is where they all move to. But I think
- 32:47Speaker 6: most of the other states are having a nursing shortage.
- 32:51Speaker 23: Yeah, it's like I said, it's it's got to do
- 32:54Speaker 23: with a couple other things. But anyway, what i'd like
- 32:59Speaker 23: to talk about I appreciate you talking about that too,
- 33:01Speaker 23: But what I'd like to talk about is and kind
- 33:05Speaker 23: of what you were talking about with Moscow Bob and
- 33:08Speaker 23: the Democrats and having their their hair stand up because
- 33:12Speaker 23: of President Trump, you know, expanding and working on the
- 33:17Speaker 23: White House and actually making improvements. But you have to
- 33:20Speaker 23: look around the country and let's go to New York
- 33:23Speaker 23: City first, right, Yeah, we.
- 33:27Speaker 2: Do, we do.
- 33:28Speaker 23: I mean it's kind of on the hot topic right now.
- 33:30Speaker 23: But look, I mean they're upset. The latest thing that
- 33:36Speaker 23: a lot of the the protesters against ICE and immigration enforcement,
- 33:42Speaker 23: excuse me, Homeland security and everything else is they're upset
- 33:46Speaker 23: because now they're taking down vendors that have fake goods
- 33:51Speaker 23: and and but you know where that they're a lot
- 33:55Speaker 23: of the police hands have been tied. They walk right
- 33:57Speaker 23: past these guys and gals that aren't even legal citizens
- 34:02Speaker 23: and they're selling fake stuff. And the thing is, the
- 34:07Speaker 23: Democrats allow the crime to take place. Now, if you
- 34:11Speaker 23: were going to go to a Republican city, I mean
- 34:14Speaker 23: one that was run by Republican mayor and they had
- 34:16Speaker 23: dutiful duties, the police were able to do what they
- 34:19Speaker 23: had to do, no sanctuary, you'd see a big difference.
- 34:23Speaker 23: So what I'm trying to say is they're upset about
- 34:26Speaker 23: things that they allow to happen, but they're not doing
- 34:30Speaker 23: it in a legal way. They have to do things
- 34:32Speaker 23: on a sideway, sideways and always underhand it. And that's
- 34:36Speaker 23: what they're not a party of honesty.
- 34:38Speaker 6: Well they're not, but it's because they're trying to lie
- 34:42Speaker 6: to you to get you to believe that they're going
- 34:44Speaker 6: to fix your problems. And the ignorance of crime is
- 34:48Speaker 6: willful because they don't want these things to be seen
- 34:51Speaker 6: as crime, because they don't have an answer for poverty,
- 34:56Speaker 6: for want and need and homelessness, and so they want
- 35:02Speaker 6: to pretend like there's some government, uh, you know, program
- 35:06Speaker 6: that will assist you or at least will look the
- 35:08Speaker 6: other way while you steal other people's Stop.
- 35:12Speaker 23: Right and look at look at California right, Well, how
- 35:15Speaker 23: many billions of dollars were wasted? And it was you know,
- 35:19Speaker 23: Gavin Gavin Newskam the lizard, and all the money is
- 35:23Speaker 23: taken away, and these people paying high prices for gas,
- 35:26Speaker 23: they're moving away, They're they're being taxed to death. And
- 35:30Speaker 23: yet there's people that like it. They worship why because
- 35:34Speaker 23: they're not being touched. They're not being touched because they're
- 35:36Speaker 23: part of the elite.
- 35:38Speaker 6: Well, but it's also one of the ultimate of virtue signaling.
- 35:42Speaker 6: Living in California. Being a California resident is almost like
- 35:48Speaker 6: a virtue signal. Oh I live in California. Sure it
- 35:52Speaker 6: sucks here, but it's beautiful and I'm going to suffer
- 35:56Speaker 6: through all the badness. Uh, you know, just just to
- 35:59Speaker 6: say I live here and it's sad because it is.
- 36:02Speaker 6: It's a drop dead gorgeous part of the country. And people.
- 36:07Speaker 6: I think people are going to wake up and none
- 36:09Speaker 6: of this stuff is permanent because you know, there was
- 36:12Speaker 6: a time when California was a conservative state and it
- 36:17Speaker 6: switched and now you know it can switch back. Remember
- 36:21Speaker 6: when Florida in two thousand, the fact that George Bush
- 36:24Speaker 6: carried Florida was a shocker. Now Florida is like a
- 36:28Speaker 6: guaranteed red state, So every all this stuff kind of
- 36:31Speaker 6: moves in eddies and currents.
- 36:35Speaker 23: I mean, we can't keep living in a facade. At
- 36:37Speaker 23: least that's what the Democrats like to do. That they
- 36:40Speaker 23: should be called the facade Party.
- 36:42Speaker 6: It really is. And but that's because they don't have
- 36:48Speaker 6: the answers. Again, they don't actually have an answer to poverty,
- 36:52Speaker 6: because it would require them admitting that a free market
- 36:56Speaker 6: without the crony capitalism and all of that laid on
- 36:59Speaker 6: top of it, would be the way to let people
- 37:02Speaker 6: out of poverty. But you talk about the vendors in
- 37:06Speaker 6: New York, I mean, I remember a story four or
- 37:09Speaker 6: five years ago of a couple of you know, New
- 37:11Speaker 6: York City police officers who were called and cited the
- 37:15Speaker 6: parents of a couple of brownies who were trying to
- 37:19Speaker 6: get a badge by selling lemonade. And they the vendor,
- 37:24Speaker 6: who had been assigned by the city the street corner
- 37:27Speaker 6: down the corner from the house, the brownstone they lived in,
- 37:31Speaker 6: called the cops because they were cutting into his beverage sales.
- 37:36Speaker 6: People were buying his pretzels or his roasted nuts and
- 37:40Speaker 6: going to the girl and getting you know, I think
- 37:43Speaker 6: it was a lemonade. And he called the cops on him.
- 37:47Speaker 6: That's how bad it's got because they the city enacted
- 37:50Speaker 6: a huge draconian fine on him to set up a
- 37:54Speaker 6: shop only in at one place. That's what happens. It's
- 37:58Speaker 6: one leads to the other. Have a good morning, Joe.

- 41:08Speaker 14: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
- 41:12Speaker 14: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
- 41:15Speaker 14: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
- 41:21Speaker 14: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
- 41:24Speaker 14: diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle

- 44:13Speaker 2: From Joe Thomas. It's first thing today.
- 44:23Speaker 7: She's coming home this Christmas Day.
- 44:28Speaker 6: It has been just a spectacular build up to the
- 44:31Speaker 6: Christmas season. And then I know there was a time
- 44:34Speaker 6: when I would have said, you know, October twenty third
- 44:36Speaker 6: is a little early to be talking Christmas. We haven't
- 44:39Speaker 6: even gotten Halloween out. But you know what, good luck
- 44:42Speaker 6: finding anything Halloween still in any of the retail stores.
- 44:46Speaker 6: They're all on I think there's New Year's Eve togs
- 44:49Speaker 6: for sale now. But I am ready for Christmas because
- 44:53Speaker 6: in just a little while, the Trans Siberian Orchestra, my
- 44:56Speaker 6: own personal family's tradition to kick off the Christmas season,
- 45:00Speaker 6: are in the rehearsal studios now getting ready to hit
- 45:03Speaker 6: the road in the middle of November. The drummer who
- 45:07Speaker 6: makes it all happen, Jeff Plate, is on our newsmaker's
- 45:11Speaker 6: line with us Jeff, Good to catch up with you.
- 45:12Speaker 6: Happy twenty twenty five. How are you doing, sir.
- 45:16Speaker 20: I'm doing great, Joe, doing great, Thank you.
- 45:18Speaker 6: Rehearsals they going well. You know, it's interesting, I've done
- 45:23Speaker 6: this for so long. I remember when you rehearsals began
- 45:27Speaker 6: at like the end of September, and it seems like
- 45:30Speaker 6: you guys are getting so good at knowing each other
- 45:33Speaker 6: that you don't need as much time in the rehearsal
- 45:35Speaker 6: studio as you used to.
- 45:37Speaker 20: Well, rehearsal begins really the beginning of November, you know,
- 45:40Speaker 20: right right at the very very end of October, beginning
- 45:42Speaker 20: of November, and yes, to your point, we've been doing
- 45:45Speaker 20: this for a long time. I've been here from the beginning.
- 45:49Speaker 20: It's been thirty years that I've been a part of
- 45:51Speaker 20: this organization. And as far as the trans Cyber and
- 45:54Speaker 20: Orchestra cast members, I mean, we've we have two different
- 45:58Speaker 20: touring groups, which there's an East Coast group and a
- 46:02Speaker 20: West Coast group, so there's quite an army of people
- 46:06Speaker 20: just in the cast. But most of these people have
- 46:09Speaker 20: been with us now for twelve plus years, so everybody
- 46:12Speaker 20: is well versed on what's going on musically. You know,
- 46:15Speaker 20: the singers are all up the speed vocally, everything is
- 46:20Speaker 20: you know, we show up the rehearsal and we've done
- 46:22Speaker 20: this music so many times before it doesn't take a
- 46:25Speaker 20: whole lot of time to get that back up to speed.
- 46:28Speaker 20: But the real intense part of what we do in
- 46:30Speaker 20: rehearsals is the production side of it, where you know,
- 46:33Speaker 20: the lighting, the lasers, the video, all of the cues,
- 46:36Speaker 20: the pyro, et cetera. There's just a lot to be
- 46:39Speaker 20: coordinated with the band and with the production team. And
- 46:42Speaker 20: this is why these shows look fantastic and do so
- 46:45Speaker 20: well every year.
- 46:46Speaker 6: Well, and the first half of it is always a
- 46:48Speaker 6: story arc as the very first trin Siberian Orchestra album
- 46:52Speaker 6: thirty years ago. As you said, Jeff, was a story
- 46:55Speaker 6: arc it began, and you know, it was truly the
- 46:58Speaker 6: rock operas that we grew up with than the seventies
- 47:01Speaker 6: and eighties, you know, And so I'm sure creating that
- 47:05Speaker 6: also takes a bit of time, kind of you know,
- 47:08Speaker 6: working out what story are you going to tell with
- 47:10Speaker 6: the first part of the program, and then you know,
- 47:13Speaker 6: you guys just sort of go through the catalog in
- 47:16Speaker 6: the second half, and so much of it. I was
- 47:20Speaker 6: talking a couple of weeks back twenty five years of
- 47:25Speaker 6: Beethoven's Last Night, that movement into more of the classical
- 47:29Speaker 6: realm as well. So how is the story coming together
- 47:33Speaker 6: for the first part of the show.
- 47:37Speaker 20: Oh great, I mean we're doing the Ghosts of Christmas Eve.
- 47:40Speaker 20: This story we've I mean, this story is based on
- 47:43Speaker 20: the on the television show that we recorded back in
- 47:45Speaker 20: nineteen ninety nine. You can find us on a slew
- 47:48Speaker 20: of different channels during the holiday season. I mean, people
- 47:51Speaker 20: were emailing me last week that they were watching.
- 47:54Speaker 6: He already so Ozzy Davis, you know, the late great
- 47:59Speaker 6: Ozzie Davis as the narrator.
- 48:00Speaker 7: It's amazing.
- 48:02Speaker 20: Yeah, it's awesome. So so we've done this, We've done
- 48:06Speaker 20: this several times before. It goes over great with the audience.
- 48:09Speaker 20: The band loves performing the show, so that's kind of
- 48:12Speaker 20: kind of speaks for itself. And like I mentioned earlier,
- 48:14Speaker 20: the production side of that gets really more involved. Trance
- 48:18Speaker 20: Iberi and Orchestra also is not just a holiday project.
- 48:22Speaker 20: You know, Paul recorded three non seasonal albums two and
- 48:27Speaker 20: they told me this last night. This is the twenty
- 48:29Speaker 20: fifth anniversary of that album, and we are going to
- 48:32Speaker 20: hot of that album too in the second half of
- 48:34Speaker 20: the show with a album with the medley of songs.
- 48:37Speaker 20: It is fantastic. And hey, you know, this was a
- 48:41Speaker 20: very interesting time for tso was you know, around the
- 48:44Speaker 20: year two thousand, we had just done our first tour.
- 48:48Speaker 20: It was obvious Paul had created something musically and sonically
- 48:53Speaker 20: that was a hit, and now it was establishing the
- 48:57Speaker 20: live show. And from the very first time that we
- 49:00Speaker 20: went on stage, it was obvious that this was going
- 49:03Speaker 20: to be a hit to the extent that it's been.
- 49:06Speaker 20: I don't think anybody imagine that, maybe except Paul, But
- 49:11Speaker 20: but yeah, two thousand was the year we did Beethoven's
- 49:14Speaker 20: Last Night and great time in the studio doing this
- 49:16Speaker 20: this album, and I've always loved the music and the
- 49:19Speaker 20: story behind it.
- 49:20Speaker 6: You reminded me of a conversation, and I know that
- 49:23Speaker 6: you guys more than us here on the receiving end
- 49:27Speaker 6: and the beneficial end of Trans Siberian Orchestra MSS Paul,
- 49:32Speaker 6: But I remember a conversation about what goes into the show,
- 49:35Speaker 6: and he said to me once that he wanted a
- 49:38Speaker 6: stadium size production in a theater size venue. And he
- 49:46Speaker 6: said he split the he split the difference that we'll
- 49:48Speaker 6: play these you know, basketball arenas, uh so you can
- 49:51Speaker 6: get a little bit more room in there. But he
- 49:53Speaker 6: wanted that feeling of of of a football stadium with
- 49:58Speaker 6: the pyrotechnics and the the cranes and all the different
- 50:02Speaker 6: things going on that you usually only see it these
- 50:04Speaker 6: massive shows in a much more intensely intimate area. And
- 50:10Speaker 6: I think that really translates still to this day.
- 50:14Speaker 20: I think Demand accomplished what he wanted to do. We've
- 50:19Speaker 20: gotten big to the point where we really can't get
- 50:23Speaker 20: much bigger, if we can get any bigger at all,
- 50:26Speaker 20: And a big part of that is just this interesting
- 50:29Speaker 20: problem we have of such a demand for the show.
- 50:33Speaker 20: When you're doing two shows a day in a city
- 50:37Speaker 20: and then the crew tears it down that night and
- 50:40Speaker 20: you are up the next day in another city at
- 50:42Speaker 20: three o'clock to do two more shows, you know, there
- 50:45Speaker 20: comes a limit to how big and how much you
- 50:47Speaker 20: can actually travel with sure, so I think we've kind
- 50:51Speaker 20: of reached the limit when it comes to that. But
- 50:54Speaker 20: having said that, the management team, the production team, every
- 50:57Speaker 20: year they come up with something different for the show.
- 51:00Speaker 20: You know, TSO over the years has had a certain look,
- 51:03Speaker 20: but there's always there's always some new lighting schemes, there's
- 51:06Speaker 20: always some new video, there's some new effects. There's always
- 51:10Speaker 20: something different along with this, and you know, speaking of Paul,
- 51:13Speaker 20: he insisted that never are we going to repeat the
- 51:17Speaker 20: show with the same production, with the same look. Every
- 51:19Speaker 20: year is going to be different sonically, it's going to
- 51:22Speaker 20: be different visually. And you know this is why our
- 51:26Speaker 20: really you know hardcore base comes back every year.
- 51:29Speaker 11: Ye so that's awesome.
- 51:31Speaker 20: I mean he had a big He had a lot
- 51:33Speaker 20: of big ideas, and the man certainly accomplished most of them.
- 51:36Speaker 20: It's pretty impressive.
- 51:37Speaker 6: Yeah, it is. Jeff plate On with US Trans Siberian Orchestra.
