  Speaker 1: This is when arrogance of dupres comes back to bite
• 0:04
  you in the rear act.

  Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Chunk Media Network,
• 0:09
  All Natural and Free of Artificial Intelligence.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: I think words steal me.
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: I don't think he meant me.
• 0:17
  Speaker 5: He's work.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: When the son comes up, drops at the school, all
• 0:25
  the treasures needs.
• 0:27
  Speaker 6: I'm not no one that Joe's allies smiled.
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: He on the eggs, not appreciating the edits here Joe.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: I want to be Joe.
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: He was talking about John Bolton. They all were talking
• 0:50
  about John Bolton.
• 0:52
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: And I appreciate though. I see what you're doing there
• 0:58
  in the in the in the cutting room, they're saying,
• 1:01
  oh we can, we can say this about Joe and
• 1:04
  he'll he'll get all sorts of bend out of shape
• 1:06
  because he's thin skinned and shallow. Four three four eight
• 1:10
  eight two four two one seven. Have fun at my expense,
• 1:13
  But have fun. That's really what the essence of it is.
• 1:17
  Because I know where I stand. And this goes back
• 1:21
  to the Tedsdy paradigm. I know what gifts God hath
• 1:25
  given me, and I know how to use them, and
• 1:28
  I do. And so when I lay down at night.
• 1:32
  I don't toss and turn and oh Joe, I don't.
• 1:36
  I don't leave any cards on the table, and uh
• 1:42
  and sometimes you know, just sometimes you know, there's little hands.
• 1:47
  And I'm going to share a story with you, but
• 1:48
  I think it's illuminative to you. And it was reminded
• 1:52
  to me by Bob up in Oregon listening to us
• 1:54
  on Freedom nine seventy there. Bob likes to send us
• 1:58
  these graphic internet memes and this one, he said two.
• 2:03
  One's very funny about President Trump and parents and acting
• 2:07
  like a parent. But I think this one especially. We
• 2:09
  have a suicide prevention five K coming up in the
• 2:15
  area tomorrow, and I thought this one was something. And
• 2:23
  I don't know where you got this, Bob, but it's brilliant.
• 2:27
  Just give me a moment. We'll get to our first
• 2:29
  things in a moment. When a flashlight grows dim or
• 2:34
  quits working, you don't throw it away. You change its batteries.
• 2:39
  When a person messes up and finds themselves in a
• 2:42
  dark place, do you cast them aside? Of course not.
• 2:47
  You help them and change their batteries. Some need double
• 2:51
  a attention and affection. Some need triple a attention affection
• 2:56
  and acceptance. Some need C compassion and some need D
• 3:02
  direction And if they still don't seem to shine, simply
• 3:07
  sit with them and quietly share your light. A beautiful
• 3:14
  bob And to that point, you know, we talk about
• 3:19
  how we get things done in the world, and on
• 3:22
  a Friday morning, I guess they looking back on your weekend,
• 3:25
  say did I get anything done? Is my to do list?
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: Clear?
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Sometimes not doing something is the same as and maybe
• 3:34
  even better than doing something. Sometimes you're waiting for the
• 3:40
  play to develop is the best play, best way rather
• 3:45
  than overreacting. How many times do you hear in college
• 3:48
  or professional football some quarterback gets happy feet in the pocket,
• 3:54
  can't wait for the play to develop and immediately cuts
• 3:57
  and runs. I learned that lesson yesterday without details, but
• 4:03
  I think it's an important lesson, regardless of the specifics
• 4:07
  of it. Patience is a virtue. And where about virtue?
• 4:12
  Here on First Thing Today and the Talk media network
• 4:15
  and where about the news? India Thursday hinted that it's
• 4:19
  looking at increasing its purchases of crude oil and natural
• 4:23
  gas from the United States after President Trump said I'm
• 4:27
  not happy with India buying oil after prime Minister Mody
• 4:32
  assured me that they will not be buying any more
• 4:35
  oil from Russia, he said in an Oval office meeting
• 4:39
  that rambled through many many things, including his views on
• 4:44
  Robert E. Lee. A federal grand jury in Maryland, not
• 4:48
  a Trump appointed prosecutor, has returned an indictment against John Bolton,
• 4:53
  President Trump's former national security advisor. The indictment accuses Bolden
• 4:58
  of mishandling class fight information, part of a broader Justice
• 5:03
  Department inquiry into whether he retained or transmitted secret or
• 5:08
  national defense information after leaving government. This circles around a
• 5:13
  book he wrote that contained quite a bit of classified
• 5:17
  information and was sent to publishers who were not authorized
• 5:21
  to see that information. Senate Democrats blocked that bill we
• 5:27
  told you about that would have funded the Pentagon for
• 5:29
  a full year. They vote tally was fifty to forty four.
• 5:33
  You will note that there are six votes short of
• 5:36
  the one hundred members of the US Senate. But that's
• 5:39
  your arithmetic failing you this morning. Why don't pay attention
• 5:43
  to stuff like that? But they needed to get to
• 5:46
  sixty percent of the Senate quorum and they did not.
• 5:50
  John Thune and Chuck Schumer have reportedly not met one
• 5:55
  time since the shutdown began. Russia's Demnen's ministry said Thursday
• 6:01
  its forces had carry it out a massive overnight strike
• 6:04
  on Ukrainian gas infrastructure. Ukrainian President Voladimir Zelenski is due
• 6:12
  at the White House for a working lunch today. Wasn't
• 6:16
  in Ukraine when the strikes happened, but yesterday at that
• 6:20
  press conference, one of the other things President Trump announced
• 6:23
  was that he's going to be going to Hungary to
• 6:26
  meet with Vladimir Putin to try to get the war
• 6:29
  in Ukraine resolved. Quote. I believe great progress was made
• 6:33
  in today's telephone conversation. Those careful observers wonder what Milania thought,
• 6:40
  because often she would tell the President, oh, really, look
• 6:43
  at the missile strikes on the gas plants. But he
• 6:47
  said he'll be joined there by many high ranking officials,
• 6:50
  including Marco Rubio in Hungary to try to end the
• 6:54
  war in Ukraine. And those are our first things this
• 6:58
  Friday morning.
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
• 7:04
  people are actually happier with it, that sounds like something
• 7:07
  to look into. And that's meta share. Maybe you've heard
• 7:10
  joining metas share can save you or your family up
• 7:13
  to five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge, But
• 7:16
  it's also true. People are just happier with it. They
• 7:18
  love being part of something that reflects and promotes their
• 7:21
  values and what they believe in.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: Meta Share works too.
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: It's been around for thirty years now and members have
• 7:27
  shared more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills.
• 7:31
  People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide ppo networks.
• 7:35
  So yeah, really, you can save a ton and like
• 7:37
  it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
• 7:40
  of your health care, whether you're self employed or part
• 7:42
  of the gig economy, or you just want to plan
• 7:44
  that you're happy with.

  Here's the number you need.
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: It's eight five to five share forty eight five five
• 7:56
  Share forty eight five five share forty.
• 8:03
  Speaker 9: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
• 8:07
  Speaker 10: Yes?
• 8:08
  Speaker 9: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
• 8:13
  oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 8:18
  to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 8:23
  By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
• 8:28
  and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 8:32
  and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 8:36
  precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 8:39
  energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 8:42
  your hands and feet. Well our product, ultimate nitric Oxide,
• 8:47
  can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

  Speaker 12: Every year more American adults die from vaccine preventable diseases
• 9:37
  and from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like
• 9:41
  the one for new maccle disease can protect adults from
• 9:44
  illnesses that can cause misdays of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 9:49
  New macaccle disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 9:53
  or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 9:56
  of an infection that can spread from person to person.
• 10:00
  Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.
• 10:04
  I'm doctor Susan Reem of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases.
• 10:08
  When I speak with my patients, I urge them to
• 10:10
  get all their recommended vaccines. Now I'm urging you to
• 10:13
  speak with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
• 10:17

  Speaker 14: If you came across someone struggling with hunger, how would
• 11:05
  you recognize them? By their clothes, their age, the way
• 11:10
  they speak. Would you notice a sixteen year old boy
• 11:13
  who got his first job for eks for spending money,
• 11:16
  but to help feed his little sisters. Or a mother
• 11:19
  who's in between jobs and sometimes goes to bed hungry
• 11:23
  so her kids can have dinner. Or a fourteen year
• 11:26
  old girl who signs up to every after.
• 11:28
  Speaker 9: School activity not to make friends, but just to get
• 11:30
  something to eat.
• 11:33
  Speaker 14: Or a retiree who fell ill and.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Had to choose between getting medicine or groceries.
• 11:40
  Speaker 14: I am the one in aid Americans who struggle with hunger.

• 13:13
  because you need to know the first thing today.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: I'm not leaving. Try to get the jo exactly justice.
• 13:20
  Speaker 18: I suppose more my preparently treatment, but.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: I'm not leaving to.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: The musical accompaniment is a song called too Many Notes.
• 13:32
  Amazing guitar player who I actually believe has twenty fingers. Yeah,
• 13:40
  everyone talks about Eddie van Halen. I think Eddie was
• 13:43
  just trying to do a Steve Morrise impression all those years.
• 13:47
  But the musical notes notwithstanding, I want to talk about
• 13:50
  too many laws. They don't have a musical accompaniment that's
• 13:54
  called too many laws. But it's the world we live
• 13:58
  in and I want to get into that in a moment.
• 14:00
  But first, let me check in with James and the family.
• 14:03
  Luck there on the island of jcsgold dot com where
• 14:08
  they will help you find and I don't believe there
• 14:11
  is such a thing as too many gold or too
• 14:13
  many silver coins in your collections there. James, good morning, sir.
• 14:18
  How are you doing this Friday morning? Hang on a
• 14:24
  second here, James, give me a second. Apparently didn't go ahead. James,
• 14:28
  how you doing, sir?
• 14:30
  Speaker 21: I'm doing well. And gold and silver continue their since
• 14:34
  I can't even remember where they were yesterday versus where
• 14:38
  they are now. They just keep climbing so much. Golden
• 14:41
  scarly at four thousand, three hundred and forty dollars, which
• 14:44
  is up about a third of a percent so far.
• 14:48
  Silver has broken fifty four dollars. Wow, that's four and
• 14:53
  ten cents. So you know, the climb continues. It's always
• 14:58
  the same, is that we can't prepare for this necessarily
• 15:03
  other than just buying when you can with the amount
• 15:07
  that you can, and then that's what we can help
• 15:08
  you with here at JCS Gold.
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: You can give us a call or.
• 15:11
  Speaker 21: Visit our website. We have lots of different size gold
• 15:15
  and silver options that are you know, can fit your
• 15:18
  needs so you can prepare for these breakout moves.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: Well, I know, my wife and I were in an
• 15:24
  antique store in downtown Stanton yesterday, our flagship city, and
• 15:30
  you know, it's gotten so crazy. People were going through
• 15:32
  the old couches looking for silver coins in them. I
• 15:35
  mean that's you know, people are looking for silver coins
• 15:40
  everywhere because they're still out there and people are really
• 15:46
  impressed by it. But you know this still has to
• 15:48
  be I mean for logic state, James, you have to
• 15:53
  look at this and say, whatever the price is when
• 15:55
  you buy, you got to hold because the stability of
• 15:58
  these precious metals is about the fact that they are
• 16:02
  a buttress against the currencies and the wild swings of
• 16:07
  that day. Correct, that's exactly right.
• 16:10
  Speaker 21: If you if you buy golden silver and then you
• 16:13
  you know, watch the price every single day and you
• 16:15
  see it go up a couple of dollars. You see
• 16:17
  it go down a couple of dollars. You know, you
• 16:19
  could start to say, you know, what is what is
• 16:22
  this investment? And I don't like these price moves. It
• 16:24
  does move like a stock market. But if you go
• 16:28
  to our website at jcscold dot com, you will see
• 16:31
  and zoom out on the five year graph, the ten
• 16:34
  year graph, you will see the way that it has
• 16:37
  trended up long term over the past handful of years.
• 16:42
  And that is because it really is a fight against inflation.
• 16:46
  And as we all know, things get more expensive over time,
• 16:50
  and that's the best thing to do is to invest
• 16:53
  in gold and silver. Hold it for the long term,
• 16:56
  hold it to preserve your wealth for future generations, for
• 16:59
  there of your family, and something to fight and hedge
• 17:03
  against the dollar.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: Well, and you have made a great analogy to inflation.
• 17:10
  If you want to explain inflation to a kid, go back,
• 17:14
  you know, pick a number of years and look at
• 17:17
  how much gold it took to buy I don't know,
• 17:19
  a loaf of bread. You can figure it out based
• 17:21
  on the price of gold and how much of it
• 17:24
  it would take to buy a loaf of bread today.
• 17:26
  And then back engineer that you see that the same
• 17:30
  amount of gold, same amount of silver was buying the
• 17:33
  same amount of stuff twenty thirty sixty years ago. It's
• 17:39
  our dollar that has become so grievously devalued.
• 17:43
  Speaker 21: That's exactly right. Yeah, And that's what having a gold
• 17:46
  and silver position prepares you for, because there's if you're
• 17:50
  just holding dollars in a bank account, then then you
• 17:54
  know you're just subject to those inflation price increases over time.
• 18:00
  So that's why you have to have some.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: Gold or silver.
• 18:03
  Speaker 21: So give us a call at jcscold dot com. You know,
• 18:05

  nine to seven nine coin you have a great weekend, James,
• 18:30
  thanks you too, and uh four three four eight eight
• 18:34
  two four two one seven. On the subject of too
• 18:36
  many laws, we've talked about this here. I've made the
• 18:40
  kind of ham handed sci Fi nerd analogy to a
• 18:46
  black hole. We have a black hole of law in
• 18:52
  this country, and we've piled so many laws on top
• 18:57
  of so many other laws, often with the intent of
• 19:01
  contradicting each other, that we've created this singularity so dense,
• 19:08
  the singularity of laws, so dense that justice itself cannot escape.
• 19:13
  And this week we were talking and I bring this
• 19:17
  up because of this book is brilliant, The Golden Thread.
• 19:19
  James Hankins, Harvard Professor of History, just in the midst
• 19:25
  of our conversation brought up something that I didn't know,
• 19:28
  and I always feel better when I learned something that
• 19:31
  I didn't know before. We have hang it out, still
• 19:36
  set to it and take a phone call, and if
• 19:39
  there is a phone call, we will take it. But
• 19:41
  play me the recording of Hankins back.
• 19:44
  Speaker 22: I think we have something like one hundred and fifty
• 19:45
  thousand dollars in the United States the Romans at about thirties.
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: That shows you in.
• 19:53
  Speaker 22: A way that they relies much more on the magistrates
• 19:58
  and tradition and the willingness of people to abide by
• 20:05
  the laws, and of course the heavy punishments that also
• 20:08
  came to.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: You, and so we go on and we talk about
• 20:15
  the Western tradition of law being there not to punish
• 20:18
  somebody for their behavior, but to protect the rights of others,
• 20:23
  and then within that a violator of somebody's rights would
• 20:28
  be punished justly based on what the statute says. And
• 20:34
  that's what we've lost. We've we've created this weaponization of law.
• 20:38
  You've heard that phrase before, weaponized judicial system. Both sides
• 20:43
  love to talk about the weaponized judicial system. Democrats seem
• 20:47
  to do it in it with a zeal that says,
• 20:49
  don't catch us weaponizing the justice system, while we talk

  about Trump just weaponizing the justice system. But it does happen.

  Laws get written at midnight ten pm on some Thursday
• 21:08
  night when everyone's watching football or whatever with nariy An

  allow you to legally go after somebody and say, well,

  Fitness and the American Heart Association recommends that we all
• 22:07
  get at least one hundred and fifty minutes of moderate

  aerobic activity in a week's time. But here's the thing,
• 22:13
  that one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to
• 22:15
  be super intense. As a matter of fact, it could
• 22:18
  just be you moving your body and doing what you
• 22:20
  already love to do, like exercise. And a stronger heart
• 22:23
  doesn't just mean cardio, right, it means also infusing your
• 22:27
  workout routines with strength training as well. So we are

  Speaker 23: What you got the dons?
• 28:45
  Speaker 21: Dude?
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I've ever seen so uh yesterday and I was
• 28:50
  trying to find more details on this. We were talking
• 28:53
  about briefly, and I don't think we spent a lot
• 28:56
  of time. We were on backup systems a lot of
• 28:58
  other programs from what I'm told, we're just down with
• 29:04
  massive outages. I've been able to cull reports of Venmo
• 29:11
  and PayPal, Amazon web services. Gee, can't imagine that causing
• 29:18
  a problem. And I gather from what I've been able
• 29:21
  to pull together on this because very few people are
• 29:24
  talking about this. I mean, we had entire you know,
• 29:30
  fiber optic networks going down because their main servers went down.
• 29:34
  There was nothing wrong with the wires, it was just
• 29:37
  the everything down in the little bunker underneath the fiber
• 29:42
  optic links went puft. And so you know, trying to
• 29:54
  apparently I don't know what F five is. I haven't
• 30:00
  been able to ascertain some of this stuff because the
• 30:03
  Internet people, and we'll call them that, the Internet people,
• 30:07
  they speak in languages that if you have to ask,
• 30:10
  you don't need to know kind of thing. So the
• 30:14
  data breach at F five being blamed on China took
• 30:23
  down social media platforms Facebook, Instagram, obviously they're connected YouTube,
• 30:32
  And I find it interesting how little is being said
• 30:34
  about this. But it was everywhere. I mean, there were
• 30:40
  all sorts of websites down. If you wanted to go
• 30:42
  to some of your favorite news sites, newsmacs went down,
• 30:45
  for example, And it was a reminder that, you know,
• 30:53
  it actually sort of reminded me of the old days
• 30:55
  when I was a kid and you only had three
• 30:59
  television net works and if none of them had anything
• 31:03
  on you were interested in, you were kind of left
• 31:05
  there looking at your bookshelf wondering if you could reread
• 31:10
  Stranger in a Strange Land or something, because what you
• 31:16
  wound up with were these big providers, these big operators
• 31:20
  like Fox, and when it comes to News, ABC, NBC,
• 31:25
  their websites were all working because they're internal, and it
• 31:28
  was the little guys like even newsmacs, a little guy
• 31:31
  out there, probably because it's upstart, still attached to somebody
• 31:37
  else's server for their web space, not generating it themselves.
• 31:46
  Boom gone. And the big guys they were chugging along
• 31:52
  to you. I don't know why the web traffick's up, Bob,
• 31:55
  but I don't know the story about how great John
• 31:57
  McCain was. And and so they were the whole Internet,
• 32:03
  and it took several of the networks down to again
• 32:06
  the smaller network if you're on you know, the Comcast,
• 32:11
  NBC stuff, and all that stuff didn't go poof in
• 32:15
  the night but it was. It was a serious outage.
• 32:19
  And like I said, when you when you pull down
• 32:22
  Amazon Web Services, you've basically taken out a lot of
• 32:30
  companies operating systems unless they're internal, self generated, and those
• 32:35
  are only going to be the biggest of the big
• 32:36
  So as I was surfing around the internet, it was
• 32:38
  like looking for news and stuff for you and I
• 32:42
  to get into to make sure we had all the
• 32:44
  bases covered. I started to feel like, this is like God,
• 32:48
  three three channels and nothing's on. But it's Boy's working
• 32:52
  again today. But everyone very strangely quiet about what went
• 33:00
  on in the interwebs yesterday. Maybe we'll find out, you know.
• 33:06
  And I find that quiet curious, don't you, because that's
• 33:12
  usually where some hacker in Saint Petersburg, not Florida or
• 33:18
  such is going to be at the center of it.
• 33:23
  But if you ever wondered what it would be like
• 33:25
  just a little trial run without losing electricity and refrigeration,
• 33:31
  but if if the EMP went off, and like I said,
• 33:38
  a lot of our radio broadcasts, though you are transmitters,
• 33:42
  all the amplitude and frequency modulation that you bask in,
• 33:47
  they were you know, they were chugging along fine, they're
• 33:49
  like these Fox Network and all these big networks. They're
• 33:53
  working off their own power supplies. But all the shows
• 33:57
  that have to get there, a lot of them under
• 34:00
  the comfort let's just call it, the comfort of the
• 34:08
  relative stability of the Internet. Said, wow, we got a fine,
• 34:16
  and they disregard the need for a sucket from the
• 34:20
  sky down link antennae. Go ah, Elon Musk is up
• 34:25
  there now, we don't want to.
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: Be up there.
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: We're just going to feed our stuff over the Internet.
• 34:29
  A lot of networks had problems with that. And then
• 34:35
  and they'll say, statistically, oh, it just was for a
• 34:39
  few hours. That statistically hardly anytime at all. Joe, Well,
• 34:44
  until you are trying to get your day started, those
• 34:49
  few minutes you get, you're not getting them back, are you.
• 34:52
  I mean, if you are, let me know where the
• 34:54
  returns counter is, because some of the minutes in my
• 34:57
  life I'd like to get back. One of the things
• 34:59
  I I watched last night once the news did come
• 35:02
  on was the Attorney General's debate in Virginia. J Jones
• 35:09
  is the guy who's now infamous across the country for
• 35:15
  saying that he wanted to shoot one of his political
• 35:20
  rivals in the head rather than Hitley or as funny
• 35:27
  as Stephen Colbert later in the evening would talk about
• 35:30
  Mike Johnson going back in time to kiss baby Hitler.
• 35:34
  Jay Jones had texted that in a room with Hitler,
• 35:43
  Polepot and Todd Gilbert and only two bullets, he'd shoot
• 35:47
  Todd Gilbert twice. And this comes up in the debate,
• 35:56
  and j jones defense of this is almost expectable. I mean,
• 36:04
  I don't want to make it sound like he was
• 36:08
  reading from a script, but when pressed on the issue,
• 36:19
  his defense was that, well, my opponent, the incumbent Jason Baris,
• 36:25
  hadn't stood up to Donald Trump. And I'm not sure
• 36:30
  how that's the case. But my friend Tom Shad in Norfolk,
• 36:35
  he gives us the story.
• 36:35
  Speaker 18: At center stage, You're side.
• 36:37
  Speaker 17: Cheyenne Pagan is here with the highlights up tonight's debate.
• 36:40
  Speaker 7: Chyenne, Tom.
• 36:42
  Speaker 28: That debate took place tonight at the University of Retinally, I.
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: Should say, his wife, Crystal is a friend of mine,
• 36:48
  does a wonderful wine program. But Tom Shadd great Eric Gary's.
• 36:51
  Speaker 28: In Jones based off and the only debate that you
• 36:54
  will have before election day. The race has been in
• 36:56
  the public spotlight following a texting scandal where Joe spoke
• 37:00
  of a hypothetical situation where former Republican House of Delicate
• 37:04
  Speaker Todd Gilbert would be shot.
• 37:06
  Speaker 18: I'm sorry to Speaker Gilbert.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry to his family, I'm sorry to my family,
• 37:12
  and I'm sorry to every single Virginia.
• 37:15
  Speaker 28: Jones had a chance to share his apology on the stage,
• 37:18
  saying that he has been held accountable for what he
• 37:20
  said about Gilbert, as well as his speeding court case
• 37:23
  out of New Kent County. The text were a hot topic,
• 37:26
  with Miara's weighing in several times, this is.
• 37:28
  Speaker 25: Unlike anything we've ever seen.
• 37:30
  Speaker 17: Somebody advocating to be the top prosecutor in the state,
• 37:33
  whose job is to stop violence, who's actually advocated for violence.
• 37:37
  Speaker 28: Jones also alleged that Miaras refuses to sue President Trump
• 37:41
  when other attorneys general have something he wants to do.
• 37:44
  If elected, you.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Should prosecute the president, but you're too afraid, you're too scared,
• 37:48
  and you're too weak to stand up to him.
• 37:50
  Speaker 18: I have no problem.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: I cannot wait to see Donald Trump in court and
• 37:53
  protect Virginia. To put us first and get what we deserve, and.
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: It's that statement I wanted to leave with you as
• 37:58
  you ruminate during the break and when we're going to come.

  bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
• 39:13
  am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 39:19

  Speaker 27: Hi Jack, Hannah and it's always a boy. Growing up
• 41:02
  on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 41:05
  I'm not only in all of their beauty and kindness,
• 41:07
  but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 41:09
  birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
• 41:13
  who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
• 41:15
  who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
• 41:18
  for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
• 41:21
  them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
• 41:23
  of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 41:26
  best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 41:30
  at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 41:33
  perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
• 41:36

  Speaker 28: Uh oh brh, that's buzzed.
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 42:05
  Speaker 28: And now a speech.
• 42:07
  Speaker 17: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
• 42:11
  heart and brain.
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: Who's with me?
• 42:13
  Speaker 13: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
• 42:16
  brain is saying when it's time to go home.
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: Somebody call me a ride.
• 42:20
  Speaker 18: Love that guy, me too.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
• 42:24
  it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 42:29
  Speaker 30: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 42:32
  costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
• 42:36
  good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
• 42:40
  One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 42:42
  energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 42:46
  learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
• 42:50
  That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
• 42:53
  leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
• 42:56
  improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
• 43:00
  when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
• 43:03
  energy Star logo and read the energy guide label, and
• 43:07
  there are day to day things you can do. Lower
• 43:09
  your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,
• 43:12
  close fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep
• 43:15
  air filters clean. For more tips on saving money by

  Speaker 15: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 43:33
  first to notice when a veteran you love has been

  but help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories

  Speaker 2: First thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
• 44:18
  the second most famous Thomas in Charlotteville.
• 44:25
  Speaker 18: You say you haven't done saves, You gave me some
• 44:30
  ja more.
• 44:31
  Speaker 26: Think about it, Jill the night where you are living
• 44:39
  the game, so is Jay Jones.
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: Of course, I was watching the debate between our here
• 45:00
  in our flagship state, Virginia's Attorney general race, now national
• 45:06
  news because the Democrat mused on text message that given
• 45:12
  a gun with two bullets in it and a room
• 45:15
  with polepot Hitler and Speaker of the Virginia House Todd Gilbert,
• 45:19
  hey Republican in it, he would shoot Todd Gilbert twice.
• 45:24
  And then, when pressed about this, rather than saying, oh
• 45:28
  my gosh, I must have been you know, I shouldn't
• 45:30
  have had that third martini, Oh my goodness, or do
• 45:33
  what movie stars do, saying I want to announce that
• 45:38
  in defense of my family and my love of my children,
• 45:41
  I'll be going into Happy Acres rehab clinic on Tuesday. No,
• 45:47
  he doubled down. He said, listen, elected officials don't know
• 45:51
  the pain of losing a child until it happens to them,
• 45:55
  defending his call for killing Todd Gilbert's children in order
• 45:59
  to get him to change his political stance on things like, oh,
• 46:04
  the constitution, here's constitutional right. And I made the case
• 46:09
  back in the moment that this disqualifies him given what
• 46:14
  we know about the awesome power thanks to Michael Bloomberg
• 46:18
  of the Attorney General's Office of the several States. We
• 46:23
  know this because of a report authored by dear friends
• 46:25
  of mine and published by the Competitive Enterprise Institute years
• 46:29
  ago called law Enforcement for Rent, where Michael Bloomberg through
• 46:36
  all the money he's collected in his life and this
• 46:39
  nonprofit so he can live tax free and give money
• 46:42
  dark money to people all over the place. Oh, I'm sorry,
• 46:44
  I'm sorry. It's only dark money when it goes to Republicans.
• 46:49
  So is Chris Horner and the folks who wrote the
• 46:52
  report for the Competitive Enterprise Institute found Michael Bloomberg had
• 47:01
  collected enough money to buire a whole bunch of young lawyers,
• 47:06
  young lawyers ready to defend the planet, not a client,
• 47:11
  the planet against climate change, and they were going to
• 47:15
  be offered for free to overworked and underappreciated Attorneys general
• 47:23
  so that these folks could, out of the Attorney General's
• 47:26
  office go after the people who gave money to ironically,
• 47:32
  considering he's one of the people who gives money to stuff,
• 47:36
  but I think that irony was either lost or the
• 47:39
  source of Bloomberg's idea that if you cut off the
• 47:42
  money by threatening anyone who would contribute to well, in
• 47:48
  this case, climate denial, if you went after the money,
• 47:52
  the activity would stop. Like the grinch that was trying
• 47:58
  to steal Christmas by stealing the who hatch Bloomberg sent
• 48:04
  and tried to get them into Virginia's Attorney general office,
• 48:08
  the same one J Jones wants to hold. He was
• 48:12
  rebuked by the General Assembly, who passed a law that
• 48:15
  said lawyers working out of the Attorney General's office can
• 48:18
  only be lawyers paid by the Commonwealth of Virginia. But
• 48:24
  when you have an attorney general who says, if I
• 48:27
  had the choice to choose to shoot Hitler Polepot or
• 48:31
  Todd Gilbert, I'd shoot Todd Gilbert twice, this statement rings
• 48:37
  very loudly.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: You should prosecute the president, but you're too afraid, You're
• 48:40
  too scared and too weak to stand up to him.
• 48:42
  Speaker 18: I have no problem.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: I cannot wait to see Donald Trump in court and
• 48:45
  protect Virginia, to put us first and get what we deserved.
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: Does that sound like somebody who has changed his attitude
• 48:56
  towards political opposition. Does that sound like somebody that would
• 49:02
  not gleefully prosecute whatever the population of Virginia is that
• 49:09
  voted for Jason Miaris or gave money to Jason Miaris
• 49:16
  or winsome Earl Sears, or spent money advertising on First
• 49:22
  Thing Today by Joe Thomas, whose flagship is in Virginia.
• 49:27
  Does this sound like somebody that learned his lesson by
• 49:30
  Oh my goodness, I can't believe I talked about that
• 49:32
  kind of political retribution. Or does that sound like the
• 49:35
  guy who, when confronted with his horrific texts, said yeah,
• 49:41
  and these people need to learn the pain of gun
• 49:44
  violence by suffering it themselves.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: You should prosecute the president, but you're too afraid, You're
• 49:49
  too scared and too weak to stand.
• 49:51
  Speaker 18: Up to him.
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: Just that first clip there, isolated, magnify it.
• 49:58
  Speaker 18: You should prosecute the president.
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: And anyone who supports the president, anyone in the same
• 50:04
  political party. That is the president, we extrapolate, and he
• 50:09
  will have the office with the power to do it.
• 50:12
  Michael Bloomberg in the report you go to if you
• 50:14
  want to see the Competitive Enterprise Institute report, I can't
• 50:18
  read the whole thing to you. It's pages and pages.
• 50:20
  My friend Chris is a wonderfully and perhaps one of
• 50:25
  the funniest climate investigators and freedom of information investigators. I know,
• 50:38
  it's like if you pick a great investigator. So it's
• 50:45
  like if elliot Ness was morphed together with mel Brooks.
• 50:50
  I mean it just because while he's laying it out,
• 50:53
  he'll hit you with a punchline that not only makes
• 50:56
  the point. I mean, he never distracts from the legal argument,
• 51:01
  but his punctuation of these points and the hypocrisy that
• 51:06
  the Democrats people like Michael Bloomberg just espouse easily and
• 51:12
  frequently with humor, is just some of the most I
• 51:19
  sit there thinking, gosh, I wish I could grow up
• 51:22
  to be like Chris Horner. But you know, I'll just
• 51:30
  suffice to say I know him and I get to
• 51:34
  have him on my show frequently. But you go after
• 51:42
  your opponents for opposing you so that they'll stop opposing you.
• 51:46
  This sounds like a guy who will very gleefully. Oh,
• 51:51
  I forgot to mention it, So Govoversight dot Org thank
• 51:54
  you for reminding me. I didn't say where to get
• 51:56
  the Competitive endors Prize Institute report. There's also a column
• 52:02
  about this at Daily Signal dot com under my name,
• 52:06
  I wrote it. I know I wrote it. You ought
• 52:09
  to know you wrote it about this very issue about
• 52:14
  why Jay Jones is unqualified to be Attorney General. And
• 52:19
  it doesn't just have to do with his attitude on
• 52:22
  shooting Todd Gilbert. It's the fact that he thinks that
• 52:25
  that's good policy. So four three, four eight eight, two
• 52:35
  four two one seven your thought on that, Max coming
• 52:40
  up with Sports News at the top of the hour, uh,
• 52:44
  and so much more as we get into it on
• 52:47
  this Friday morning.
• 52:51
