"Selling vs Telling" (FTTxJT Wed 101426 hr4) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: I'm more mega now make America great again than I've
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: ever been.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: this morning. 434-882-4217 are the important digits. Those are the
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: numbers you can use to let me know how the
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: news of the day is impacting you for where you are.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Of course, for my part, what I will do is
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: I will tell you what that news has been. And
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: then we can rage on the machine here. I like
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: this email. Came into the email address, jtinthemorningradio at gmail.com.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Title of the email is Bread and Circuses? Joe, I've
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: told you before, I love listening to you and Mac
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: talk sports. It's the only reasonable version of sports talk
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: I hear on the radio. But I have a question
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: for you. You don't seem shy about talking about the
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: foibles of your industry. Why are there so many sports
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: talk radio stations? It seems like there's never enough space
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: to cover the news, but everyone wants to talk about sports.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Is this intentional to keep us arguing about things like
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: which team is in the top five of the college polls? Well,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: there's a degree to that, but it's deeper than that, Jerry.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Because DEI and the woke culture have been around a
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: lot longer than you realize. And for 20 years, well,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: for two years and 17 years that have been redacted
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: from my resume at this point by court order, I
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: have run conservative talk radio stations. And laughably, I will
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: receive national advertisers that I have to carry their commercials
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: for in order to carry certain conservative talk shows. And
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: they will come, you'll laugh at this, with the advisory
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: that they're not allowed to run these ads during controversial programming.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Wrap your head around that. In exchange for running some
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: nationally syndicated show, you know the names of the people,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: I have to run some insurance company ad in some
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: segment of my program that's not controversial and not in
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: any way, shape, or form connected to theirs. So it
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: is easier for networks to produce sports talk because that
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: is the most popular non-controversial aspect of spoken word radio.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: So therefore, the networks will provide sports programming and the
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: insurance companies and the healthcare companies and the pharmaceuticals, they
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: don't mind half an iota. Now, some of the pharmaceutical
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: companies buy their own newscasts. That's different. I'm talking about
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: the general purpose. I want you to buy my automobiles.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Chevrolet isn't buying conservative talk radio because investors, and this
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: is where I'm talking about woke, the woke investing, the
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: woke agenda on Wall Street is why you have more
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: sports talk than you have news talk stations. Because it's
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: easier to get national advertising onto sports than it is
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: what we're doing. So please pay attention to whether it's
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: somebody locally supporting my program like the Live Nation Trans-Siberian
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Orchestra folks or JCS Gold or the Daily Signal or
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: any of those folks or the folks who want you
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: to get the beat supplements and that kind of stuff
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: and the gassy blood and all of that, Dr. Mitch,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: because they're out there on a limb supporting that which
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: most investment-driven corporations don't want to invest in. I mean,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: I have companies that are owned by notable families that
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: you would think would be right in line with advertising
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: on conservative talk radio, and they don't want to because
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: there are investors who say, I don't want to hear
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: about it. I don't want to hear about what some
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: talk show host said that has got me in trouble
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: with other folks in my circle. It's just the way
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: it is. That's why you have so much sports talk
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: right now. Anyway, on to our first things. Justice Department
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: has now issued new subpoenas for staff and other co-workers
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: of Ilhan Omar after they raided the congresswoman's home in Washington, D.C.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Leaks from the DOJ indicate that the investigation is into
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: what her actual age was when she applied for citizenship
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: to the United States. Pope Leo is recovering after lung surgery.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: A lower lobe of his right lung removed with what
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: is called adenocarcinoma, a type of lung cancer statement, did
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: not mention whether there is more to come in the
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: way of treatment. Supreme Court says it will hear the
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Trump administration's arguments against a watchdog group called the Citizens
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington's lower court ruling saying
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: they have a right to see all the work product
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: that went on behind the scenes at the Department of
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Government Efficiency. Saudi National was under arrest for corporate espionage.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: He was caught recording the boardrooms of OpenAI, Abdulrahman Al-Fazan, 35,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: is an engineer at OpenAI, since July of 2020. Warm
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: weather has prompted the Department of Energy to issue an
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: emergency order covering the 13 states in the PJM interconnectivity network,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: including D.C., Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Alabama, At Hot Shot Secret,

  Speaker 4: Ford F-350 Power Stroke. I've been using Hot Shot Secret
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: EDT every tank for almost three years, and I've seen

  Speaker 7: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: I'm Dr.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Mitch.
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances,
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells, even
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
• 9:02
  Speaker 8: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 8: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 8: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:17
  Speaker 8: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 8: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 8: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 8: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:38
  Speaker 8: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 8: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 8: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 9: I'm Jack Hamm.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Who work hard to provide for their young.
• 10:14
  Speaker 9: Or penguins, who travel up to 500 miles to secure
• 10:17
  Speaker 9: food for their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump
• 10:20
  Speaker 9: allows them to navigate the trees and the wild in
• 10:23
  Speaker 9: search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by
• 10:25
  Speaker 9: our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are our
• 10:29
  Speaker 9: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 10:32
  Speaker 9: they also perform life-saving work every day. Dogs keep us
• 10:35
  Speaker 9: safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom
• 10:38
  Speaker 9: suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when
• 10:41
  Speaker 9: there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have
• 10:44
  Speaker 9: a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society
• 10:46
  Speaker 9: and help those in need. So please join me and
• 10:49
  Speaker 9: American Humane in supporting our heroic working dogs and all
• 10:52
  Speaker 9: the amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go
• 10:55
  Speaker 9: to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
• 10:59
  Speaker 10: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 11: Oh, yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 11: And now a speech.
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 10: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
• 11:15
  Speaker 10: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
• 11:18
  Speaker 10: call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 12: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 11: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 13: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:24
  Speaker 13: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:29
  Speaker 14: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 14: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 14: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:39
  Speaker 14: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 14: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 14: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 11:51
  Speaker 14: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 11:54
  Speaker 14: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:58
  Speaker 14: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:01
  Speaker 14: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 12:04
  Speaker 14: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:08
  Speaker 14: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 12:11
  Speaker 14: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 12:14
  Speaker 14: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
• 12:18
  Speaker 14: money by reducing your energy waste, check out ftc.gov slash green.

  Speaker 14: A tip from the Federal Trade Commission. the nation's consumer
• 12:27
  Speaker 14: protection agency.
• 12:29
  Speaker 15: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 15: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 15: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:40
  Speaker 15: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 12:44
  Speaker 16: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
• 12:49
  Speaker 16: at maketheconnection.net and learn how you can support the veterans
• 12:53
  Speaker 16: in your life. Treatment works. Recovery is possible.

  Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna ride around a midnight cruise.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: On my way, I got nothing to lose. Thank you
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: for letting us be of service to you. Just trying
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: to make sense of it all, you know. There's a
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: subtext of the tetanus. So, you know, an abundantly happy Nuge...
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: is certainly, though well-known, not the most well-known purveyor of
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: his art. I mean, whether it's Eric Clapton or Jimmy
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Page or Eddie Van Halen or Steve Morse, I mean,
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: you just keep running down the list of people who
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: are known for their guitar playing before you get to
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: Ted Nugent. Ted Nugent is happy in his pursuit of
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: what he does, which is playing his guitar and giving
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: people a good time and perhaps even making them think
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: a little bit within the song, telling stories with his music.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: So his American dream is certainly not, and I'm not
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: going to begin to tell you that Ted Nugent isn't comfortable,
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: that Ted Nugent doesn't have wealth, but a reaction text
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: has brought me here. So we were talking about why
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: there's so many sports talk radio stations versus news talk
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: radio stations in the world. And it's because it's easier
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: to get corporate sponsorship of sports talk than there is
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: to get news talk. Mercedes-Benz isn't dropping big dime on
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: talk radio, even though I've seen the statistics, the lion's
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: share of people who buy Mercedes listen to talk radio
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: more than sports radio. but their corporate investors don't want
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: to be associated with somebody talking about getting society clear
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: of having unwanted pregnancies. It's the financial version of, I
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: don't think that's an appropriate conversation to have here. And
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: Bob writes in, to 434-882-4217. Text messages, great way to
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: do it. This is proof the United States is a
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: failed experiment. We were supposed to create opportunity for all. Instead,
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: we just have an oligarchy of a small group of
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: people who dictate to us what we are and aren't
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: allowed to hear. Well, Yes, and that certainly can be
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: the narrative somebody with a red beret on might tell you, Bob.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: But there are independent talk radio stations. Trust me, I
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: own one. There are independent talk radio networks. Trust me,
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: we're on one. That don't do that, that find ways
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: to come up with support. People keep asking me, where's
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: the tip jar on my website? Why don't I have
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: a PayPal account saying support the program? And maybe I
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: should because, you know, your donations, I just feel like
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: that's where PBS lives. But maybe we should because it
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: is hard. It is hard to find a big bank
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: or a big car dealer to sponsor what can be
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: considered controversial because people And I don't even believe it's controversial. See,
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: this becomes where I get in trouble because a lot
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: of the national. Well, that's I'm national to now, so
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: I can't rail against that. But a lot of the
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: corporate talk show hosts are just like a press secretary.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: They're going to say the things that they say. People
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: like Glenn Beck are unique because Glenn Beck, like me
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: on a much grander scale, went out and did his
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: own thing, broke free. got fired by Fox, got nearly
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: fired by Premier Radio Networks, and went out and bought
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: a studio and did his own thing and created Blaze TV.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: And I'm sure for most of the years Blaze has existed,
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: has struggled financially. Look at Del Bigtree and The High Wire.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Or James O'Keefe. James O'Keefe's a great example. I mean,
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: he actually had the board of his own company uprise
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: against him because money came in and said, hubba, hubba, hubba,
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: I've got money. Let's get rid of O'Keefe and do
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: a different kind of journalism. We'll make it look the same,
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: but it'll be different. And I don't think it's proof
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: that the United States is a failed state. If nothing else,
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: it proves to me that the system that John Adams
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: and James Monroe and James Madison and George Mason, Patrick
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: Henry put together is resilient because, yes, most places when
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: you face this kind of amassment of wealth will collapse. U.S. doesn't. Here,
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: independent talk radio stations. Sure, as John Katsimatidis said, the
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: former supermarket magnate of New York City, and nobody knows
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: what Gristiti's is, but now you know who most people
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: who know the business of talk radio have heard of
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: John Katsimatidis, an independent owner of one of the biggest
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: radio stations in America, did so because he owned a
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: lot of grocery stores in the New York metropolitan area.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: But I don't think there were any Gristiti's in San
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: Francisco or Tampa or Georgia in Atlanta, Georgia. It was
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: an ultimately regional grocery store chain, but he made enough
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: money doing it that he now owns one of the
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: biggest radio stations, one of the most historic brands in
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: in all of America and is putting together his own,
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: his own thing, trying different stuff. Is he rich?
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: But here's the thing about the, uh, this chasing this
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: pursuit of happiness.
• 20:27
  Speaker 13: There's a tax cut that benefits only 4,500 families.
• 20:30
  Speaker 17: It doesn't matter if most voters don't benefit. They all
• 20:34
  Speaker 17: believe that someday they will. That's the problem with the
• 20:38
  Speaker 17: American dream. Makes everyone concerned for the day they're going
• 20:41
  Speaker 17: to be rich.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Because they don't understand what the damn American dream is.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: The American dream is that you can pursue. American dream
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: is Tedness. That you can go out and play guitar
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: for your friends. I know lots of folks who are
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: not even as well known as Ted Nugent. But they
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: go out and they play their guitar. They have a band.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: They've been bandwagoners. As a matter of fact, our bumper
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: music is performed by a band that's celebrating its 50th anniversary,
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: about to come out with a new album in about
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: one month's time, Zebra. They've had some gold records. Three
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: or four. They used to be a big star on
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: MTV when MTV played music videos. And they've had to
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: go off and do other things, but they still pursue
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: their happiness. See, the American dream isn't about being rich.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: The American dream is about doing what makes you happy
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: and makes the people around you happy. And it's all
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: in service to other people. We need to make the
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: American dream great again. And it begins by reframing it
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: so that we don't think the American dream just means
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: being rich and being in the right neighborhood or having
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: the right job. Let's see.
• 22:01
  Speaker 18: If something costs less, but people are happier with it,
• 22:05
  Speaker 18: that sounds like something to look into. And that is MediShare.
• 22:09
  Speaker 18: Maybe you've heard switching to MediShare to pay for health
• 22:11
  Speaker 18: care can save many families up to 500 bucks a month.
• 22:14
  Speaker 18: And that is huge. But it's also true that people
• 22:16
  Speaker 18: are way more satisfied after making the switch to the
• 22:19
  Speaker 18: member satisfaction rate for MediShare is double that of the
• 22:23
  Speaker 18: typical health insurance plan.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Double.
• 22:25
  Speaker 18: MediShare works too. It's been around for 30 years. Members
• 22:28
  Speaker 18: have shared more than $ 5 billion of each other's bills.
• 22:32
  Speaker 18: People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network.
• 22:35
  Speaker 18: So yeah, really, you can save a ton and like
• 22:37
  Speaker 18: it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
• 22:40
  Speaker 18: of your healthcare.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: So if you're.

  Speaker 7: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: I'm Dr.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Mitch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: from radiation. TotalWellness.com where we help you to look good,
• 24:57

• 25:13
  Speaker 8: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 25:17
  Speaker 8: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never

  Speaker 8: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 25:29
  Speaker 8: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your

  Speaker 8: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 25:38
  Speaker 8: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 25:43
  Speaker 8: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 25:46

  Speaker 10: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 25:57
  Speaker 20: Oh yeah?
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 25:59
  Speaker 11: And now a speech.
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 26:08
  Speaker 10: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
• 26:11
  Speaker 10: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
• 26:14
  Speaker 10: call me a ride.
• 26:15
  Speaker 12: Love that guy.
• 26:16
  Speaker 11: Me too.
• 26:17
  Speaker 13: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 26:19
  Speaker 13: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 26:23
  Speaker 14: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 26:26
  Speaker 14: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 26:30
  Speaker 14: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 14: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:37
  Speaker 14: energy assessment. Your utility company can help. Or you can
• 26:40
  Speaker 14: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 26:46
  Speaker 14: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 26:49
  Speaker 14: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 26:53
  Speaker 14: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 26:55
  Speaker 14: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 26:59
  Speaker 14: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 27:02
  Speaker 14: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 27:05
  Speaker 14: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 27:09
  Speaker 14: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 7: A brother like you.

  Speaker 2: Lucky?
• 27:40

  Speaker 22: I'll be his. No time for tired. Nothing can disable

• 28:14
  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: Looking for a friend to share my time. Looking for
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: a mountain.
• 28:24
  Speaker 12: I can climb.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: I ain't afraid of death.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Or no good dude.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: I'll do the best that I can do. With the
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: spirit of the wild, running free. I got the spirit
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: of the wild inside of me. Bob in Portland listening
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: to us on KUFO out there. Appreciate it. Sent me
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: a couple of cartoons this morning. He likes the graphic.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: This one, when they say abortion is health care, I
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: reply ICE is a travel agency. But my favorite one
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: that he sent this morning is a cartoon, AI-drawn cartoon
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: of Ilhan Omar. Then, no one is above the law.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: And then a picture of some Homeland Security agents outside
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: her door. I meant Trump. Yeah, it's no one. I
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: guess that's part of the problem is we believe that
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: by our position— it buys us out of certain things.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: Maybe there, some connection. I was queried a couple of
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: times this morning because I've made some associations between the
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: Kimberly Guilfoyle story and the Ilhan Omar story, certainly what
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: Kimberly Guilfoyle is accused of. is not nearly to the
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: level of the kind of things that Ilhan Omar is
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: accused of. But they begin by pissing someone off. How long,
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, 10 years Ilhan Omar has been going around
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: in the squad, making statements, defending people, Islamists as they're
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: hidden within the Muslim community, suborning that kind of behavior.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: How long has Ilhan Omar been out there? When do
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: we get a crack in this case? When someone in
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: her office has had enough of her. When some of
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: her own staff drops dime on her. What happens to
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: Kimberly Guilfoyle? Same thing. Longtime contributor has had enough. thinks
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: that being asked to pay her American Express bill allegedly
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: is too far. Or, and this is the trouble with whistleblowers,
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: or he didn't get what he was promised and has
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: decided that the implication of quid pro quo, and the
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: laughable thing about the Kimberly Guilfoyle story is the press
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: that is just gobbling this up like sharks on chum
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: Ignored Hunter Biden for how long? How long did you
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: guys know? Laptop. I mean, you all reported the supposed
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: Russian disinformation campaign that it didn't turn out to be.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: Perhaps you don't know your Russian disinformation from a mossy
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: hole in a tree. And on the subject of Russian disinformation,
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: we brought this up a little bit yesterday and we
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: had some more into it today. Disinformation is another one
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: of these Orwellian words. It is information. Is it fraudulent?
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: And this becomes where the lawyers come in. And one
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: of the things I warn you about in our four
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: hours together or however many hours the radio station that
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: you're blessed to spend some time with me on gives you.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: But there are four hours of this program and we'll
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: have it posted. We've gotten really good again. We've gotten
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: back up on the horse. And yeah, we had a
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: glitch about a month ago, but we're not living in
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: the past. Nick Saban, next seven seconds. So go and
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: find the other hours that you didn't get to hear
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: on the air. But one of the things we were
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: talking about is telling you versus selling you. News is
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: about telling you what's going on. What we've had happen
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: to our industry is we've become selling you what's going on.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: Because we have become addicted to democracy, everything has to
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: come with some democratic seal of approval. Somewhere, somebody is
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: going to take a vote. We're watching it here on
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: our flagship. It's a third. No, it's more than a third.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: I wrote a column about this for the Daily Signal
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: Virginia page, how many of our cities, given permission, and
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: this is the Taxed Enough Already campaign back again. The
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: government of our flagship state of Virginia wants to get
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: out from under having to pay so much to run
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: the schools. Interestingly, this former governor of Virginia is the
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: one who set us constitutionally on the path to having
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: to pay for access to public schools. Oh yeah, yeah.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: Jefferson was the governor, not George. So there's a responsibility
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: in Virginia's constitution to make sure public schools exist. Virginia
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: splits the costs with the local governments. They have what's
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: called a composite index, and it's all sorts of intransparent
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: math that tells the state what they owe a local
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: government to help them support the schools. So then last year,
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Creative Souls and the government said, hey, what if we
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: let the local government have a sales tax, and then
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: we can get out from having to pay them so
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: much so we can send more money to Planned Parenthood
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: and transgender organizations? And they did. And so now you
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: have Republicans promoting the idea of a one cent sales tax.
• 35:24
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: You live in a world where Republicans are promoting higher
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: taxes so that they, and the belief, the hubris is that, well,
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: we can, we can use this money our way in
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: a conservative way. The only conservative way that a taxpayer
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: can use their money is if they use it themselves.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: And it's America's, it's not America's original sin, but it's
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: right up there in the top five. The idea of
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: hiding taxes in things that you would normally just do anyway,
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: rather than an honest accounting. If there's a reason Americans
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: don't trust the American government, because 240 years ago, we
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: started hiding your taxation from you. we started patting you
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: on the head saying, no, no, no, no, we got this.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: We're just going to take care of this. By the way,
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: that your gasoline is going to cost more for the
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: Department of Transportation. And we need you paying a meals
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: tax so that we can pay for the tourism department.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: And we need you to pay a sales tax on
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: everything you buy to pay for the schools. And It
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: starts with the whiskey rebellion, excise taxes, tariffs. Instead of
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: just saying to the American people, here's what you owe
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: us to run the government, and then actually having to
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: answer the questions, well, why do you want my money
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: to do this? I don't agree with this. So ironically,
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: the one thing in American history that isn't and has
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: never been done democratically Put us in this place where
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: we just want to tax the other guy. Don't tax you.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: Don't tax me. Tax that other guy behind the tree.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: That's the democratic process towards taxation. Because there's always somebody
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: that has more money than you. And that's the con
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: that they've been selling us is, you know, you're not
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: really being taxed. It's a use fee. It's a toll.
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: High-occupancy vehicle lanes were foisted upon us as a way
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: to save fuel, fewer cars on the road. Now it's
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: just a way to generate tax revenue.
• 38:01
  Speaker 10: In 2024, the American Heart Association celebrates 100 years of
• 38:05
  Speaker 10: life-saving service as the world's leading nonprofit organization focused on
• 38:09
  Speaker 10: heart and brain health. Heart disease still kills more people
• 38:13
  Speaker 10: in the United States each year than all types of
• 38:15
  Speaker 10: cancer combined, but more than half of Americans are unaware
• 38:18
  Speaker 10: of this fact. according to a recent Harris Poll survey
• 38:21
  Speaker 10: conducted for the American Heart Association. However, the majority of
• 38:25
  Speaker 10: heart disease is preventable. New research has improved the prevention, diagnosis,
• 38:30
  Speaker 10: and treatment of heart disease and its risk factors. Efforts
• 38:33
  Speaker 10: led by the American Heart Association have reduced deaths from
• 38:36
  Speaker 10: heart disease by half over the past century and helped
• 38:39

  Speaker 3: Goodwill.
• 40:55
  Speaker 11: Bring good home.
• 40:57
  Speaker 20: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 20: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 20: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 20: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 20: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 20: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 20: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:28
  Speaker 20: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 20: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 20: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.

  Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: this morning. Bob's on the phone out of Moscow this morning.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: And a couple of thoughts on what we were just
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: talking about, Colin. I appreciate you. Bob, I appreciate the
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: kind words you said at the onset of your call,
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: but you made a really good point as we went
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: on in there. Bring it back about the Trump doctrine
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: and listening to people.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: Well, if you want to have peace in the world,
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: You have to talk to everyone. If you don't communicate
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: to each other, how do you ever expect to have peace?
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: You have to understand each other's culture, what they believe in,
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: what they don't believe in, what they're concerned about, and
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: what they're not concerned about. And that's how you negotiate terms.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: You don't just say, I'm going to do it. You're
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: going to do it. If you don't speak, you're not
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: going anywhere for peace.
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it seemed like that was what Joe Biden was like, oh,
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: we got to have 15s. And that was the doctrine was, ironically,
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: all the things they blame or they accuse Trump of,
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: you know, which is, you know, empire and that kind
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: of thing. When people like Tucker Carlson and company will
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: lose their mind because he sits down and actually talks
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: to Putin and Zelensky. And I'm like, hold on a
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: second here. You know, these are two people that have
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: been you know, at war with each other for five years.
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: And you're able to sit down and talk to either
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: one of them. And, you know, maybe it didn't happen
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: on Tuesday of the first week he was in office,
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: but it's getting closer to finally being over. And I
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: will put a dollar down on the table right now
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: that once it is over, it will be over to
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: the benefit and to the uplift of Ukrainians and Russians
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: and just as much as those who live in Gaza
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: 20 years from now are going to look back on,
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: you know, when everything was a pile of rubble because
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: they left it that way as the, you know, the
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: crazy days.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: And I wish I myself could be part of these
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: negotiations for peace, not just between Russia and Ukraine, but
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: the Middle East and everything else and get all these
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: paid benefits speakers that are doing it now, because I
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: would come from the point of view, what's equal to
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: both sides, what's in the best interests of the innocent people,
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: not the wealthy, the innocent people that are being killed.
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: Well, Trump is also, his international doctrine is in America first.
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: You know, and I was saying this, I think yesterday,
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: maybe the day before, that just because you're dealing with
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: somebody on an international plateau, doesn't mean he's not thinking
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: about what's good for the United States. You understand what
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: I mean?
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, gosh, yes.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: I know, because like we talked about Greenland, look where
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: Greenland's at now.
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: It's a perfect example.
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: But it's also best for Europe.
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: And for the people living in Greenland, who probably 10
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: years from now will be an independent nation. and prospering
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: in the way Iceland is.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: Won't be controlled by foreign entity anymore.
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: Clark mentioned this some time ago. Look at all these
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: allies that the United States has. Rattle them off. Great Britain, Japan, Germany.
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: What do they all have in common? We were in
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: grievous wars with these people. So the United States is
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: unique in global history of being able to put the
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: swords down, pick up the plowshares, and start to look
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: at where commonality is without dwelling in the past. I
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: think Lincoln's attempt to heal the wounds between the North
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: and the South, part of what got him killed, my
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: analysis of the post-Civil War time, and perhaps one of
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: the dark spots in American history, darker than the death
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: of JFK was losing Lincoln before he had a chance
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: to finish, you know, repatriating the slaves into the American
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: communities and creating a stronger country for it. And I
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: think we've gotten there through bumpy trials and tribulations. But
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: like you said, talking to each other, realizing, hey, we're
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: all literally the same and that we all have wants
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: and dreams. And the Soviet Union collapsed because people in
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: the Soviet Union had the same dreams or felt the
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: same idea about I should be able to do for
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: somebody and get compensated for it that Americans do. We
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: just happen to have a document that says we're allowed to.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: And that's one good example because basically Russia did in
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: their own country what was how America was founded by
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: us separating from Great Britain. Exactly the same thing happened.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: The people got tired of it. They moved away, set
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: up their own country. That's what the Russians got tired
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: of it.
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: And they set up their own country. And to torture
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: the metaphor just a little further, how Russia fell into
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: the control of Lenin and Marxism was by ignoring the
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: growing schism and that the haves were growing and the
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: have-nots were more not than have.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's very true.
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: But you ignore that at your peril, and we have
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: a free market, so it's easier, or we can, if
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: we get rid of a lot of the government throttles
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: on it, we can go back to having a free
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: market in minutes.
• 50:32
  Speaker 17: Yes.
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: Just you take some of the throttles off. Anyway, Bob,
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: good stuff, my friend. Thank you for calling. Thank you
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: for the kind words you said in the green room
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: as well. But I appreciate it. You have a good morning, sir.
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: And to you as well, we have a minute or
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: six emails as well here to finish up. Don't forget
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: to go online to Joel writes in Jesus is the answer. Well,
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: let's not forget for a second what this is. carpenter
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: from Galilee did. As a man of his community, he
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: was a rabbinical, he was a leader in his community,
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: he started to see the temple failing at what it
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: was supposed to be doing, so he started rabble-rousing. Let's
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: not forget that Jesus was already viewed to be a
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: pretty big troublemaker for the Roman occupiers of the Holy
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: Lands by the time he gets to Jerusalem for Passover.
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: They already have him on a list. They already say,
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: be on the lookout for this guy. He didn't arrive
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: in Jerusalem and find out, well, they're mad at me. No,
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: he knew they were mad at him. And he knew
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: that the temple had failed to stand up for the
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: Jewish community against the Roman invaders because it was easier.
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: And that's one of the things, that's a message in
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: Christianity you have to realize is that fighting Rome seemed
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: daunting but necessary. Until tomorrow, 5 a.m. Eastern, I am
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: Joe Thomas. So long and thanks for all the fish. Well,
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: that's awkward. Who mistimed that out? Everyone's mad because we
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: get out too early. close to the edge, then we
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: come out too early.
• 52:51
  Speaker 10: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
• 52:53
  Speaker 10: compression of spinal nerves, according to Dr. Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
• 52:57
  Speaker 10: California-based chiropractor with more than 30 years of experience. This
• 53:01
  Speaker 10: compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury, or
• 53:05
  Speaker 10: simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
• 53:09
  Speaker 10: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
• 53:12
  Speaker 10: the neck and back, Dr. Fisher explains. His inventions, the
• 53:16
  Speaker 10: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device,
• 53:20
  Speaker 10: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
• 53:24
  Speaker 10: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are
• 53:27
  Speaker 10: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
• 53:30
  Speaker 10: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
• 53:33
  Speaker 10: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
• 53:36
  Speaker 10: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home.
• 53:38
