• 0:11
  Speaker 4: Except we seem to be for winning and against.

  Speaker 5: Somebody else winning.

  Speaker 6: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:19
  Speaker 7: Joe works at a steel mill.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: He's down here every day.
• 0:25
  Speaker 8: Leased for work when the sun comes up.
• 0:27
  Speaker 9: Drops the kids to school and all the work.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: Joe has everything he dreamed of. All the treasures that
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: he needs.
• 0:36
  Speaker 7: No wonder Joe's always smiling. He only aims to please you.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Let me be your Joe.
• 0:43
  Speaker 10: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
• 0:46
  Speaker 10: this morning.
• 0:46
  Speaker 9: I want to be your Joe.
• 0:49
  Speaker 10: Radio program unabashedly calls itself a radio program while everyone
• 0:54
  Speaker 10: else is becoming content creators. And to be fair, that's
• 0:59
  Speaker 10: what we call you who call in to 434-882-4217.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: I'm a.
• 1:06
  Speaker 10: Analyst, if you must. I spin the plates and try
• 1:11
  Speaker 10: to keep the sticks under them for as long as
• 1:14
  Speaker 10: Ed Sullivan lets us stay on the stage before Topo
• 1:17
  Speaker 10: Jiju comes along. Mark those down as references only like
• 1:22
  Speaker 10: 5% of our audience still gets. So I will tell
• 1:27
  Speaker 10: you how the news of the day impacts us from
• 1:30
  Speaker 10: where I sit. I will then wait for you to
• 1:33
  Speaker 10: tell me how it's impacting you because it is going
• 1:36
  Speaker 10: to be different. Your experiences, my experiences, all of us
• 1:42
  Speaker 10: come from different places. And I hope we all come
• 1:47
  Speaker 10: to the same conservative conclusions and go to CPAC enough
• 1:54
  Speaker 10: times to tell you there's 18 different ways people think
• 1:58
  Speaker 10: there are to define conservatism. And when you ask half
• 2:03
  Speaker 10: the attendees who Russell Kirk is and they don't know,
• 2:07
  Speaker 10: you feel bad because now you understand why there's 18
• 2:10
  Speaker 10: different definitions of what a conservative is. Russell Kirk sort of,
• 2:15
  Speaker 10: you know, he baked the first cake. He said, you know,
• 2:19
  Speaker 10: you need to be willing to stand up against everyone
• 2:23
  Speaker 10: in your world if you find something to be right.
• 2:31
  Speaker 10: And that was what happened when the Declaration of Independence
• 2:34
  Speaker 10: arrived in London and a member of parliament named Edmund
• 2:38
  Speaker 10: Burke found it, saw it and said, hey, you know,
• 2:41
  Speaker 10: this kid's got us get dead to rights on Magna Carta.
• 2:45
  Speaker 10: And everyone said, but the king. And he said, yeah,
• 2:48
  Speaker 10: but the king's wrong. And thus conservative thought was born.
• 2:53
  Speaker 10: Anyone who thinks it's not that it's about the society,
• 2:58
  Speaker 10: not the leaders of the society. It's about we the people,
• 3:03
  Speaker 10: or e flamista, depending on how much of a Star
• 3:05
  Speaker 10: Trek fan you are. Anyway, into the news. Our friends
• 3:12
  Speaker 10: in Mississippi wondering, you know, president in town for a
• 3:18
  Speaker 10: big rally, and both Senate candidates showed up there. The Republican,
• 3:23
  Speaker 10: who of course was being feted by Donald Trump, and
• 3:26
  Speaker 10: his opponent, who made a very big deal out of saying,
• 3:29
  Speaker 10: look at me, I'm at a Trump convention. Meanwhile, Jackson
• 3:33
  Speaker 10: County Fair, gunfire, more of these events, big gatherings that
• 3:38
  Speaker 10: wind up turning into gunshots being fired. We're not the
• 3:43
  Speaker 10: only ones in contentious elections. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu facing
• 3:51
  Speaker 10: a parliamentary election in the Knesset. Today, as he faces
• 3:56
  Speaker 10: off against main rival, former military chief Gadi Isenkat, 7
• 4:02
  Speaker 10: million people eligible to vote are roughly the city of
• 4:07
  Speaker 10: Los Angeles.
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: U.S.
• 4:10
  Speaker 10: Appeals court on Monday denied the administration's request to block 20,000
• 4:16
  Speaker 10: ballots from being counted until their citizenship could be checked.
• 4:22
  Speaker 10: The Justice Department's claims are relying on suspect data, according
• 4:28
  Speaker 10: to opponents. Trump administration has made the same request of
• 4:32
  Speaker 10: Washington state to block 400 people's votes until they can
• 4:37
  Speaker 10: justify citizenship, said that the 400 people in question have
• 4:41
  Speaker 10: been identified in 1,500 different votes cast. And for those
• 4:47
  Speaker 10: who are wondering about the spurious nature of the accusations,
• 4:51
  Speaker 10: 48 people are under arrest this morning in New York, Florida, California,
• 4:56
  Speaker 10: and Pennsylvania, as well as Nevada, following indictments on federal
• 5:02
  Speaker 10: election fraud for casting ballots and other voter registration activities
• 5:07
  Speaker 10: in 2020, 2022, and 2024. President Trump has also offering
• 5:14
  Speaker 10: a million dollars for anyone who tips federal authorities to
• 5:18
  Speaker 10: voter fraud going on that leads to a conviction. You
• 5:23
  Speaker 10: can't just call in and get a million bucks. You
• 5:25
  Speaker 10: actually have to call in and then they have to
• 5:28
  Speaker 10: be able to convict. Speaking of convictions, somebody who hasn't
• 5:32
  Speaker 10: gotten any yet, James Comey faces two new federal charges
• 5:36
  Speaker 10: stemming from disclosure of classified national defense information To a
• 5:42

  Speaker 12: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 7:05
  Speaker 12: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 7:07
  Speaker 11: It was MediShare that came through for us, and there
• 7:10
  Speaker 11: was no hassle. There was no problem.
• 7:12
  Speaker 12: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
• 7:15
  Speaker 12: of such an incredible ministry.
• 7:17
  Speaker 13: MediShare is a biblical approach to health care where Christians
• 7:21
  Speaker 13: share each other's medical expenses.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: MediShare is a family, a group of people that stick
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: with you through the hardest times of your life.
• 7:30
  Speaker 13: MediShare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over 30 years old.
• 7:35
  Speaker 13: And members have shared over $ 8 billion of each other's
• 7:38
  Speaker 13: medical bills.
• 7:38
  Speaker 14: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.

  Speaker 9: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 9: I'm Dr. 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.
• 8:32
  Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:37
  Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer,
• 8:43
  Speaker 9: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
• 8:46
  Speaker 9: many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy
• 8:51
  Speaker 9: cells even from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to
• 8:57
  Speaker 9: look good, feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
• 9:02
  Speaker 17: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 17: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 17: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 17: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:17
  Speaker 17: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 17: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 17: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 17: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 17: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:37
  Speaker 17: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 17: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 17: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 17: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 11: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 18: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 10:01
  Speaker 18: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 18: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 18: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:08
  Speaker 18: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 18: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
• 10:15
  Speaker 18: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
• 10:18
  Speaker 18: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
• 10:21
  Speaker 18: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 10:23
  Speaker 18: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
• 10:26
  Speaker 18: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
• 10:30
  Speaker 18: but because of their acute senses, they also perform lifesaving
• 10:33
  Speaker 18: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
• 10:36
  Speaker 18: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
• 10:39
  Speaker 18: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
• 10:42
  Speaker 18: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
• 10:44
  Speaker 18: trained roles that contribute to society and help those in need.

• 11:01
  Speaker 12: Oh, yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 19: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: And now a speech. I just want to say that
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: friendship is about heart. Heart and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 10: Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 18: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 19: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 19: somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 15: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Me too.

• 11:31
  Speaker 5: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.

  Speaker 6: News and analysis, now without artificial colors. First Thing Today
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:33
  Speaker 10: We'll get back to Tom dropping bombs in a moment.
• 13:37
  Speaker 10: We went to break. I was about to reach in
• 13:40
  Speaker 10: and pull out a name from all the names that
• 13:42
  Speaker 10: have entered at JoeThomasInTheMorning.com for our Trans-Siberian Orchestra tickets wherever
• 13:49
  Speaker 10: you may be, both in our flagship city and at
• 13:52
  Speaker 10: all the different places. The 30th anniversary tour interacts with
• 13:56
  Speaker 10: the radio station Larry. And McDermott has entered to go
• 14:02
  Speaker 10: to see them in Jacksonville, Florida, on December 17th. He
• 14:07
  Speaker 10: writes on his email, an awesome way to enlighten the
• 14:11
  Speaker 10: Christmas experience for our Ugandan student, Shakira, that we are
• 14:15
  Speaker 10: sponsoring here in the United States. Well, that's awesome. I'm
• 14:19
  Speaker 10: glad to see you doing that there. And we will
• 14:23
  Speaker 10: be in touch. A uniformed attendant will tell you how
• 14:26
  Speaker 10: to get all that. Larry, thank you, sir. for listening
• 14:28
  Speaker 10: down there in Florida. Andy's on the line, then we'll
• 14:32
  Speaker 10: get back to Tom. Andy, go ahead, sir. What's on
• 14:35
  Speaker 10: your mind?
• 14:36
  Speaker 11: Well, you know, I heard that there was a reward
• 14:39
  Speaker 11: out there, and I had funded the entire undercover work
• 14:44
  Speaker 11: for the 2020 election for Project Veritas.
• 14:49
  Speaker 10: Oh, yeah.
• 14:49
  Speaker 11: And I think the last person standing was actually Ernest
• 14:54
  Speaker 11: White Jr., who... It was known as Ghost up until–
• 14:59
  Speaker 11: He was great, yeah. He just came incredible. I remember
• 15:03
  Speaker 11: seeing the video when they were trying to get me
• 15:08
  Speaker 11: to sponsor the entire U.S. 2020 undercover. And he had–
• 15:15
  Speaker 11: he knew, like, California law. prevented him from actually photographing
• 15:21
  Speaker 11: somebody in California. So he went to Nevada, where it
• 15:28
  Speaker 11: is legal, and he got a fellow brother, right, a
• 15:34
  Speaker 11: black postal worker to stuff some ballots in a, you know,
• 15:40
  Speaker 11: just a big, like, community. And just, it was one
• 15:45
  Speaker 11: of those things, and I was like, Okay, so I
• 15:49
  Speaker 11: can see how this can be corrupted. The other thing
• 15:52
  Speaker 11: that I remember when you and Elaine were actually in Orlando,
• 15:58
  Speaker 11: was it CPAC?
• 16:00
  Speaker 10: I can't remember. Well, CPAC's been down there and also
• 16:03
  Speaker 10: the Americans for Prosperity have held events there. So I'm
• 16:07
  Speaker 10: not sure which it was.
• 16:07
  Speaker 21: It had to have been CPAC because I was actually
• 16:10
  Speaker 21: James O'Keefe's guest.
• 16:13
  Speaker 11: And so it was kind of funny.
• 16:16
  Speaker 21: To be like in the same space as you, I
• 16:19
  Speaker 21: had already reported some serious crimes in Virginia that had
• 16:25
  Speaker 21: never been prosecuted, which is kind of an interesting thing.
• 16:29
  Speaker 21: Selective enforcement is probably one of the.
• 16:33
  Speaker 11: Greatest crimes that officials ever, ever. And fortunately, I was
• 16:40
  Speaker 11: wealthy enough and smart enough to get out of Virginia.
• 16:44
  Speaker 10: Well, and here's the thing.
• 16:45
  Speaker 11: It was my place of birth.
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 16:47
  Speaker 11: But Florida has great tax laws. And I went from
• 16:52
  Speaker 11: probably paying over a million a year in taxes to
• 16:57
  Speaker 11: paying almost nothing. And so the big loser is the
• 17:01
  Speaker 11: federal government.
• 17:02
  Speaker 10: Well, and here's the thing. Florida looks like already 3.2
• 17:04
  Speaker 10: million people have voted already. in the early voting there.
• 17:12
  Speaker 10: It's embarrassing because Virginia's been voting for 45 days, and
• 17:16
  Speaker 10: we've only managed to scrape together a million votes. I
• 17:19
  Speaker 10: think Texas and Florida are like 8 million votes between
• 17:23
  Speaker 10: the two states, and you've only been voting for a
• 17:25
  Speaker 10: little while. So enthusiasm on you guys.
• 17:30
  Speaker 21: I'm glad that the gentleman from Vero has connected with.
• 17:36
  Speaker 10: The Luck family.
• 17:38
  Speaker 11: They're really, really great people, too. And so, you know,
• 17:42
  Speaker 11: we can take all this back, return to constitutional money,
• 17:46
  Speaker 11: never run a payroll, and just, you know, just keep
• 17:50
  Speaker 11: your thumbs up.
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: But this goes back.
• 17:53
  Speaker 10: To, and people get, you know, bent out of shape
• 17:56
  Speaker 10: about my attacks. They've called them attacks. I think they're
• 18:00
  Speaker 10: just analysis of the damage Alexander Hamilton did did to
• 18:04
  Speaker 10: this country because he wanted, you know, this is long
• 18:07
  Speaker 10: before the World Economic Forum existed, but he would be
• 18:10
  Speaker 10: right there on the steps with Klaus Schwab saying, absolutely, globalism, absolutely, globalism. Remember,
• 18:19
  Speaker 10: he wanted to be the head of the Bank of England,
• 18:23
  Speaker 10: and he was running the banking in Jamaica. I think
• 18:26
  Speaker 10: it was Jamaica.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Jamaica.
• 18:27
  Speaker 10: Where he was born. Bahamas, right? Yeah, Bahamas.
• 18:31
  Speaker 11: I mean, you've said that before.
• 18:35
  Speaker 10: He was told by the head of the Bank of England, oh,
• 18:37
  Speaker 10: you're very nice and all, but since you weren't born
• 18:40
  Speaker 10: in England, you can't be the head of the Bank
• 18:43
  Speaker 10: of England.
• 18:44
  Speaker 21: And this is before the Rothschilds faked out that Napoleon
• 18:49
  Speaker 21: had won at uh at waterloo and they quintupled their
• 18:55
  Speaker 21: wealth just with that one action and which is you
• 18:59
  Speaker 21: know put the bed broth towels in a worse place
• 19:05
  Speaker 21: to doing the various things and so that's uh another
• 19:10
  Speaker 21: interesting thing when i was um i just before i
• 19:13
  Speaker 21: had my hip revision i had never been to london
• 19:18
  Speaker 21: and i popped into the london school of economics and
• 19:22
  Speaker 21: i'm standing in front of the like fabian window oh
• 19:26
  Speaker 21: my gosh yeah with blight's number two right.
• 19:30
  Speaker 10: Where fabian the you know one of us yeah well
• 19:34
  Speaker 10: but you know but the thing is is this idea
• 19:36
  Speaker 10: that's there needs to be, and my mother was a banker,
• 19:40
  Speaker 10: and I'm not slagging bankers. You know, there are bankers
• 19:43
  Speaker 10: who realize they have, but they realize they have everybody
• 19:48
  Speaker 10: else's money. What can we do with it while we
• 19:50
  Speaker 10: have it? And that becomes the corrosive force in it.
• 19:55
  Speaker 10: But Hamilton, so he decides to push for this independence
• 19:59
  Speaker 10: because he figures, well, maybe I can be the head
• 20:01
  Speaker 10: of the Bank of the United States. And he becomes
• 20:04
  Speaker 10: one of Washington's chief advisors to to General Washington's detriment
• 20:09
  Speaker 10: because he was saying, you know, hide the taxes, bury
• 20:13
  Speaker 10: the taxes, don't tell people where the taxes are because
• 20:17
  Speaker 10: then they'll try not to pay them. But if you
• 20:19
  Speaker 10: just kind of bury them into the stuff they're consuming anyway,
• 20:24
  Speaker 10: you'll be able to get the taxes without much muss
• 20:26
  Speaker 10: and fuss. And I think that set us on this
• 20:30
  Speaker 10: course where we're looking at these governments and saying, well,
• 20:37
  Speaker 10: number one, where did you waste all of our money on?
• 20:41
  Speaker 10: And number two, how did you get so much of
• 20:43
  Speaker 10: our money? And you realize how much, you know, billions
• 20:47
  Speaker 10: of dollars are collected by the federal government every month
• 20:52
  Speaker 10: out of an economy that's still struggling to make ends meet.
• 20:55
  Speaker 10: And we can't get our head out of our behind
• 20:57
  Speaker 10: to repeal the gas tax in any state anywhere. I
• 21:02
  Speaker 10: think Georgia did and a couple of other states have.
• 21:06
  Speaker 10: but everyone's running around. People want to know why Trump
• 21:09
  Speaker 10: hasn't repealed the gas tax for now. And it's because
• 21:14
  Speaker 10: I think his consultants tell him that it would make
• 21:17
  Speaker 10: him look like the gas prices are his fault. I
• 21:21
  Speaker 10: think just appearing like you are aware of them, but
• 21:24
  Speaker 10: all this manipulation of burying taxes into the things we
• 21:28
  Speaker 10: consume anyway, I think is going to be the downfall
• 21:33
  Speaker 10: of the United States at the end of the day.
• 21:35
  Speaker 10: And we need to get back to an honest accounting
• 21:37
  Speaker 10: of it, Andy. I appreciate the call, my friend.
• 21:41
  Speaker 12: Surely.
• 21:41

  Speaker 16: record heat, wildfires and hurricanes forecast this summer, how do
• 23:11
  Speaker 16: we keep our pets safe? No matter where we live,
• 23:14
  Speaker 16: the potential for natural or manmade disasters is a possibility.
• 23:18
  Speaker 16: So preparation is key. First, make sure to have an
• 23:22
  Speaker 16: evacuation plan mapped out in advance. Know where you're going
• 23:25
  Speaker 16: to go and how you're going to get there. Next,
• 23:29
  Speaker 16: Put together a pet emergency kit with several days food, medicine,

  Speaker 16: you get separated. And be sure to have your pet's

  Speaker 9: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 9: I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 24:18
  Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 24:22
  Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 24:26
  Speaker 9: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 24:31
  Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 24:36
  Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer,
• 24:43
  Speaker 9: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
• 24:45
  Speaker 9: many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy
• 24:51

  Speaker 15: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah?
• 25:57
  Speaker 19: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: And now a speech.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Heart and brain.
• 26:07
  Speaker 10: Who's with me?
• 26:08
  Speaker 18: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 26:10
  Speaker 19: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 26:13
  Speaker 19: somebody call me a ride.
• 26:15
  Speaker 15: Love that guy.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Me too.
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

• 28:37
  Speaker 24: Anyone who's ever worked in rock radio is like, this
• 28:47
  Speaker 24: song always shows up and is like, what is this song?
• 28:51
  Speaker 10: What is it? Donny Iris passed away yesterday. Scott was
• 28:55
  Speaker 10: writing about it. King Kool, Donny Iris died yesterday. He
• 28:59
  Speaker 10: said Pittsburgh will be in mourning, as will many of
• 29:03
  Speaker 10: our friends at WRNR in West Virginia as well. He
• 29:09
  Speaker 10: goes on to ask, why don't voting precincts wait until
• 29:12
  Speaker 10: all the precincts are ready to report before submitting their results?
• 29:18
  Speaker 10: because there are people who will argue transparency. So if
• 29:25
  Speaker 10: all of a sudden, you know, the entire state says, okay,
• 29:28
  Speaker 10: here's the results, and you're like, well, hold it. How
• 29:31
  Speaker 10: did my county come out the direction it did? It gives...
• 29:38
  Speaker 10: it gives. I think it's a false sense of transparency personally.
• 29:44
  Speaker 10: And there are states that won't release anything until the
• 29:49
  Speaker 10: very last minute. And I think it causes more confusion
• 30:07
  Speaker 10: than it fixes because what you'll see in some states,
• 30:11
  Speaker 10: they don't do their absentee ballots, which are a lot
• 30:15
  Speaker 10: of them now. So everything that's been cast so far,
• 30:17
  Speaker 10: we were talking about the 8 million votes that have
• 30:21
  Speaker 10: been cast in Florida and Texas alone at early absentee. Well,
• 30:28
  Speaker 10: those are all considered absentee ballots. So what you'll get
• 30:32
  Speaker 10: on election night is an accounting of the votes cast
• 30:36
  Speaker 10: on election day. And then somewhere, and every state does
• 30:41
  Speaker 10: it differently. In Virginia, at 11 p.m., they release all
• 30:44
  Speaker 10: the early voting numbers. And they just post to a website.
• 30:51
  Speaker 10: And what it winds up looking like is, especially if
• 30:56
  Speaker 10: the absentee ballot says have happened yesterday, I think of
• 30:59
  Speaker 10: the last four years, three times at least, they break
• 31:04
  Speaker 10: overwhelmingly Democrat. Then you're like, well, hold it. Where did
• 31:08
  Speaker 10: all these Democrat votes come from at 11 p.m.? It's
• 31:15
  Speaker 10: because they've been holding the numbers. It was a place.
• 31:20
  Speaker 10: I'm tempted to say it was Nevada was considering. You'll
• 31:25
  Speaker 10: love this one, Scott. a rolling tabulation of the votes.
• 31:30
  Speaker 10: You want to talk about Brazil waiting to happen, that
• 31:33
  Speaker 10: they were going to have two weeks of early voting
• 31:37
  Speaker 10: and that each vote would tabulate publicly as it was cast.
• 31:42
  Speaker 10: So you could see in real time who was leading
• 31:46
  Speaker 10: and who wasn't like, you know, going on your browser
• 31:50
  Speaker 10: and checking on the score of the ball game. And
• 31:55
  Speaker 10: in a place like Las Vegas, what could ever go wrong?
• 32:00
  Speaker 10: What would ever go wrong in Las Vegas if we
• 32:02
  Speaker 10: knew who was leading two weeks before the election culminated?
• 32:10
  Speaker 10: Although there are those who say, wouldn't that lead to
• 32:12
  Speaker 10: a higher vote turnout? You know, all the Republicans think,
• 32:18
  Speaker 10: you know, and say, Virginia, we're going to lose anyway.
• 32:21
  Speaker 10: And if you realize, oh, it's close right now. Maybe
• 32:24
  Speaker 10: I should get out and vote. Or my guy is trailing,
• 32:28
  Speaker 10: but not by much. Let's get, you know, for those
• 32:31
  Speaker 10: who are not motivated to get out. It's all the
• 32:36
  Speaker 10: issues with this mischaracters of this voting early stuff is
• 32:44
  Speaker 10: just killing us. Tom drops bombs. And we were talking
• 32:50
  Speaker 10: about what could happen after the midterms, Tom. And I
• 32:55
  Speaker 10: told my listeners this early, I don't believe they're going
• 32:58
  Speaker 10: to impeach him one time, Trump, that is, because I
• 33:02
  Speaker 10: just think they've learned every time you impeach this guy,
• 33:06
  Speaker 10: his poll numbers go up. And every time you try
• 33:09
  Speaker 10: to arrest him, his poll numbers go up. I just
• 33:12
  Speaker 10: think they.
• 33:14
  Speaker 10: They try to raise prices on everybody for and taxes
• 33:17
  Speaker 10: on everybody for the next two years. And he just
• 33:20
  Speaker 10: vetoes them all.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: I think you're wrong. And I love you.
• 33:26
  Speaker 10: I can be wrong. You can be wrong.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: You said, I think they've learned. OK, did the coyote
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: learn that it's never going to catch the roadrunner?
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: Did the coyote learn?
• 33:36
  Speaker 10: Well, he lawyered up in the most recent movie.
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: The nightmare scenario is that somehow and I'll tell you
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: that if it happens, it's a dark day. Somehow they
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: take the Senate as well. I think your impeachment still.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: But you're going to see an impeachment resolution dropped on
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: day one, literally, probably multiple if they take the House.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: And and if we if we we should have that
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: dinner or something, Joe, because I'm not a gambler. And
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: it's going to be the most ridiculous stuff you've ever seen,
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: and here's why. Our political halls, particularly the legislative branch
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: of whatever body, the local board, the state assembly, or Congress,
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: are littered with self-important aspirationalists who see nothing above their
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: own inevitable and necessary ascent in their fantastical fantasy world.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: And it will be a contest to see who can
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: make the most outlandish allegations against not only Trump but
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: those around him. I read the other day that they're
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: contemplating a blanket amnesty for all the junior staffers because
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: I can't remember which Democrat politician it was who was
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: talking about having Nuremberg-style trials. These folks have lost it.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: We are at a dangerous, dangerous time in America, in
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: my opinion, because there's a big group of people who
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: just don't want to be free to live and be
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: left alone. And another big group of people who know
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: that we'll never reach utopia until the entirety of their
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: perverted will is foisted upon the remainder and something has
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: to give. So, you know, I'd rather smile than frown.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: And I know that God's been so good to me
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: that I could never begin to deserve it. So I'd
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: stay upbeat. But, I mean, if you're not voting and
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: making sure that everyone you know who shares your values
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: is voting, you're doing it wrong because I think you're wrong.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: They didn't learn not to impeach. The coyote never learned.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: That's who they are.
• 35:45
  Speaker 10: And truth be told, I think if we crest 50
• 35:48
  Speaker 10: percent voter turnout, it's a lot. So there's a lot
• 35:50
  Speaker 10: of room to win this game. In the second half,
• 35:55
  Speaker 10: Tom Garrett, delegate, Virginia House, but the host of the
• 36:00
  Speaker 10: Tom Drops Bombs video channel on YouTube, as well as
• 36:04
  Speaker 10: Dell Tom Garrett on Facebook. Last question for you. And
• 36:07
  Speaker 10: you triggered me on this. Wasn't thinking about it before.
• 36:10
  Speaker 10: When you talk about Nuremberg style trials, Virginia has constitutional
• 36:15
  Speaker 10: amendments that will criminalize noncompliance. How dangerous is that Pandora's
• 36:21
  Speaker 10: box to open? If you can criminalize somebody for not
• 36:26
  Speaker 10: doing something, it's the weird extrapolation of we're going to
• 36:30
  Speaker 10: tax you for not buying health insurance or fine you,
• 36:35
  Speaker 10: depending on whether you're a John Roberts fan or not.
• 36:38
  Speaker 10: Talk about that concept, and I know we've got to
• 36:40
  Speaker 10: let you go, of criminalizing noncompliance.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: Well, further, they have statutes that would criminalize speech. And
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: I can't believe that a better lawyer than me, and
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: there aren't many, hasn't taken that one to court yet.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: And what we're talking about for your listeners is if
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: you counsel someone against an abortion, is it just No, no, really,
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: that right there means you're a boy, that you were
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: somehow violating the law. We have members sitting who've advocated
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: for jail or prison for people who counseled children who
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: were gender dysmorphic. So how dangerous is it is your question.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't– it's that dangerous. And I think
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: our Constitution protects us from such draconian measures, but you
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: can do anything you want, as Dan Helmer and Jay
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: Jones and Abigail Spanberger have demonstrated with the Second Amendment,
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: right up until– A court says you can't.
• 37:42
  Speaker 6: And they know that.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: They do things all the time that I know they
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: know they can't do on plain reading. But they do
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: them anyway, because it's going to take us millions of
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: dollars and maybe tens of years. Right. The NFA sat
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: for 90 plus years before getting a correction towards freedom.
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: And that's they know that they bank on that.
• 38:03

  Speaker 2: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 40:14
  Speaker 6: Oh, yes!
• 40:15
  Speaker 12: Yes!
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: favorite form of ear candy.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, my.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: Shh.
• 40:29
  Speaker 10: Do you smell that?
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is goodwill.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: And with every item you buy, you fund local job
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: training and more. So go forth. Bring home those donut earrings.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: And bring home so much good to your community.
• 40:54
  Speaker 10: Goodwill.
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: Bring good home.
• 40:57
  Speaker 14: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 14: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 14: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 14: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 14: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 14: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 14: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 14: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 14: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 14: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: Eat better.

  Speaker 19: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.

  Speaker 10: I can probably swim.

  Speaker 19: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 43:07
  Speaker 10: Okay, don't tell.
• 43:08
  Speaker 6: Me what to do.
• 43:09
  Speaker 25: Cannonball!
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: Cramp!

  Speaker 10: Ready to go?
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 43:29
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 43:35
  Speaker 19: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 43:39
  Speaker 19: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 43:42
  Speaker 19: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message

• 44:47
  Speaker 10: What's your target audience, sir?
• 44:49
  Speaker 6: Everybody.
• 44:50
  Speaker 10: No, really, who's your... Everybody. If I didn't believe that
• 44:56
  Speaker 10: wholeheartedly every single human being needs to hear this program,
• 45:00
  Speaker 10: I wouldn't get up and do it. So, Cher, you're
• 45:05
  Speaker 10: not talking to a 20-year-old. The hell you say? I've
• 45:09
  Speaker 10: talked to 10-year-olds. I've talked to 15-year-olds. I've talked to
• 45:13
  Speaker 10: 30-year-olds like this. And I keep doing it every single, uh,
• 45:19
  Speaker 10: solitary day. Um, I want to warn our friends down
• 45:23
  Speaker 10: in Chattanooga, listening to us, uh, this morning on 1150
• 45:28
  Speaker 10: W G O W beware. We're living the middle of
• 45:31
  Speaker 10: this data center situation. And I was reading in the
• 45:37
  Speaker 10: free press, well, the times free press, free press, um, that, uh,
• 45:43
  Speaker 10: You're going to try to weigh in on becoming a
• 45:46
  Speaker 10: hub of AI or SI, if you will, and lean
• 45:53
  Speaker 10: into that. Beware. Understand this. And I applaud your bravery
• 45:59
  Speaker 10: for it because the chi-coms want this stuff. And we're
• 46:04
  Speaker 10: living it here in our flagship state of Virginia where
• 46:08
  Speaker 10: chi-com manipulated technology. CHICOM manipulated Instagram and Twitter and Facebook
• 46:20
  Speaker 10: feeds about these problems with data centers. To be fair,
• 46:26
  Speaker 10: some of it, I've talked to some of the energy
• 46:30
  Speaker 10: company officials. Amazon Web Services, for example, just here in
• 46:39
  Speaker 10: maybe 10, 15 miles from our flagship studio, building two
• 46:46
  Speaker 10: data centers in Louisa, Virginia. And they're talking about how
• 46:51
  Speaker 10: much lower their personal property taxes can go because of
• 46:55
  Speaker 10: the tax revenue generated by these data centers for your
• 46:59
  Speaker 10: local government. And the Baptist and bootleggers coalition that the
• 47:05
  Speaker 10: CHICOMs have been able to muster against artificial intelligence should
• 47:10
  Speaker 10: have been more obvious. I wasn't looking for it and
• 47:15
  Speaker 10: I am abashed to tell you I didn't because it
• 47:19
  Speaker 10: came up so fast. It was more, what can we do?
• 47:22
  Speaker 10: We can do, we can what? Chat? Who's Claude? And
• 47:27
  Speaker 10: it just came up so fast that you didn't even
• 47:33
  Speaker 10: get a chance to grasp some of the hypocrisy, some
• 47:41
  Speaker 10: of the double standards that were going on, and then
• 47:44
  Speaker 10: the QICOM started to weigh in. China wants data centers
• 47:48
  Speaker 10: in China.
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 47:50
  Speaker 10: Then China controls the internet. Just like I said, Donald
• 47:57
  Speaker 10: Trump is facing Barack Obama. You want Barack Obama back?
• 48:03
  Speaker 10: You want Barack Obama policies? Vote for the Democrat. If
• 48:07
  Speaker 10: you want Donald Trump policies, vote for Donald Trump. Endorse candidates.
• 48:12
  Speaker 10: Just like that, do you want data centers in the
• 48:19
  Speaker 10: country protected by the Fourth Amendment and Third Amendment so
• 48:23
  Speaker 10: that when, not if, but when somebody uses them to
• 48:28
  Speaker 10: surveil somebody inappropriately, you can go to court and get
• 48:33
  Speaker 10: them to stop Or do you want the entirety of
• 48:36
  Speaker 10: the Internet to have to go through China? Now, you
• 48:42
  Speaker 10: tell me. You tell me who you want to have
• 48:46
  Speaker 10: the Internet throttle. Do you want China to have the Internet?
• 48:56
  Speaker 10: Because they will if you drive them out of this country.
• 49:00
  Speaker 10: That's why, again, I applaud Chattanooga. for stepping up towards
• 49:06
  Speaker 10: making this a goal to be a hub. You know,
• 49:10
  Speaker 10: here in Virginia, because of the existence of two international
• 49:15
  Speaker 10: trunk lines into Virginia, 70% of the globe's internet traffic
• 49:22
  Speaker 10: passes through just Virginia in the United States. But it's
• 49:26
  Speaker 10: got to go somewhere, and it's got to expand out
• 49:29
  Speaker 10: to the rest of the country. And I think that's
• 49:31
  Speaker 10: where Chattanooga is coming in, like railroading. I mean, it's
• 49:36
  Speaker 10: really the modern railroad years ago. met a fellow named
• 49:43
  Speaker 10: James Taylor, not the singer, but he was a property
• 49:47
  Speaker 10: owner and we were renting from him and we became
• 49:50
  Speaker 10: friends and we would drink wine together in the evening.
• 49:53
  Speaker 10: And how many people get to hang out with their
• 49:55
  Speaker 10: landlord in that kind of way? But he loved railroads,
• 49:59
  Speaker 10: not model railroading per se, but the industry of the railroad. Because,
• 50:05
  Speaker 10: and I had never thought of it this way, and
• 50:08
  Speaker 10: I guess this is Gosh, 1996 or 1997. So it's
• 50:17
  Speaker 10: still Internet 1.0. It's still chat rooms. And rudimentary, you know,
• 50:27
  Speaker 10: just kind of JavaScript websites and things like that. He
• 50:31
  Speaker 10: said the Internet of today is the railroads of the
• 50:38
  Speaker 10: 19th century. bringing information to places that had never been before,
• 50:45
  Speaker 10: bringing good, bad, and indifferent. I mean, bank robbers would
• 50:49
  Speaker 10: get off the train, rob the bank just as much
• 50:52
  Speaker 10: as there are hackers, scammers, and slammers on the internet.
• 51:00
  Speaker 10: But I want it here in the United States.
• 51:02
  Speaker 21: Yes.
• 51:03
  Speaker 10: And the more China puts effort behind driving them out
• 51:07
  Speaker 10: of the United States, the more I will fight against
• 51:10
  Speaker 10: it and say we need it here in the United States.
• 51:13
  Speaker 10: But the Baptist and bootlegger coalition are the Green New
• 51:18
  Speaker 10: Deal energy honks who are like, it just uses so
• 51:22
  Speaker 10: much electricity and then we have to burn things and
• 51:25
  Speaker 10: fossil fuels. And you have the privacy issue. advocates who
• 51:32
  Speaker 10: are like, well, it's being used for surveillance. Just like
• 51:36
  Speaker 10: the people who are against flock cameras. It's not the
• 51:39
  Speaker 10: flock camera. Camera is a camera. You can use it
• 51:41
  Speaker 10: to take pictures of animals at the zoo or run
• 51:44
  Speaker 10: your OnlyFans page and sort of everything in between. We
• 51:50
  Speaker 10: had that story yesterday about, you know, the cities and
• 51:52
  Speaker 10: they all seem to be in Texas that spend the
• 51:54
  Speaker 10: most per capita on OnlyFans. But the camera, the camera,
• 51:59
  Speaker 10: doesn't choose to shoot pictures of children or children porn.
• 52:05
  Speaker 10: The camera is just an inanimate object. It's who we
• 52:08
  Speaker 10: are that's important. Who we put in the positions of
• 52:13
  Speaker 10: law enforcement and that sort of thing, that's not in
• 52:20
  Speaker 10: the purview of what's the expression, man cannot be made
• 52:24
  Speaker 10: good by law. So it is the way of the future,
• 52:33
  Speaker 10: but I'm glad to see that they're stepping up towards it. Anyway,
• 52:41
  Speaker 10: it's time for us to pack up our toys and
• 52:43
  Speaker 10: get ready for tomorrow's daycare where my wife knows I'm
• 52:47
  Speaker 10: nice and safe. Until then, so long and thanks for
• 52:50
  Speaker 10: all the fish.
