- 0:03Speaker 1: Are we awake?
- 0:04Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 0:08Speaker 3: We're not sure.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Joe works at a steel mill.
- 0:12Speaker 4: He's damn near every day.
- 0:13Speaker 5: Leaves for work when the sun comes up.
- 0:17Speaker 6: Drops a kid to school and on the way.
- 0:20Speaker 4: Joe has everything he dreamed of. All the treasures that
- 0:23Speaker 4: he needs.
- 0:24Speaker 6: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
- 0:28Speaker 7: He only aims to please you.
- 0:34Speaker 1: Thank you for letting us be of service to you.
- 0:40Speaker 1: Basking in the amplitude or frequency modulation of your favorite
- 0:44Speaker 1: radio station, you being the singular most important local aspect
- 0:48Speaker 1: of it, I will tell you what went on last night.
- 0:51Speaker 1: I will give you my analysis of it for sure.
- 0:53Speaker 1: It comes with a training manual. And then I want
- 0:58Speaker 1: to hear how it's impacting you where you are. Mike
- 1:02Speaker 1: writes in, Joe, I don't know how this Alaska race
- 1:06Speaker 1: impacts me, but I guess if we lose a senator,
- 1:09Speaker 1: we'll be less likely to get the SAFE Act passed.
- 1:12Speaker 1: What about Daylight Savings Time? That's right. Well, you know,
- 1:17Speaker 1: rest assured, we'll get the Protect College Sports From Itself
- 1:22Speaker 1: Act passed. Unless we send Ted Cruz to the Supreme
- 1:27Speaker 1: Court before that happens. 434-882-4217, as he did, use it
- 1:37Speaker 1: as a text message line. If you're busy and you
- 1:40Speaker 1: don't have time to go and dial a number, that's fine.
- 1:43Speaker 1: Just shout something into voice to text and hit send.
- 1:46Speaker 1: We will read your words into the public record. Or
- 1:50Speaker 1: make the phone call. I love the conversation as well.
- 1:53Speaker 1: We have folks joining in this morning to get ready
- 1:57Speaker 1: for election season's culmination, the midterms. Today's a weird day,
- 2:04Speaker 1: especially in newsrooms, because a lot of newsrooms, believe it
- 2:07Speaker 1: or not, have given a lot of their reporters today
- 2:11Speaker 1: off so that they're rested for the hard work of
- 2:17Speaker 1: covering the midterms. I mean, No offense to my friends
- 2:21Speaker 1: in the news media. Election Day is like the easiest day.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Everything is right there. It's the stuff leading up. It's discovering,
- 2:31Speaker 1: you know, who's doing what shenanigan to try to fool
- 2:35Speaker 1: the voters. And remember the Lincolnian, you know, you can
- 2:40Speaker 1: fool some of the people all of the time or
- 2:43Speaker 1: all of the people some of the time, but you
- 2:45Speaker 1: can't fool all of the people all of the time.
- 2:49Speaker 1: thus becoming the Democratic Party agenda towards vote suppression. The
- 2:56Speaker 1: fewer of you vote, the fewer of you we have
- 2:58Speaker 1: to convince of our crap being true. We're the Democrat,
- 3:04Speaker 1: and to be fair, the Republicans do the thing. If
- 3:06Speaker 1: we only get 45 to 50% voter turnout, that means
- 3:10Speaker 1: only 25% of our community needs to have fallen prey
- 3:15Speaker 1: to our nonsense. It's nonsense, I tell you, it's nonsense. Actually,
- 3:20Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders said, I don't know about this rank choice voting,
- 3:23Speaker 1: I just think Alaska Democrats are dumb. And of course,
- 3:30Speaker 1: leading into the midterms with these stories of Democrats turning
- 3:34Speaker 1: on other Democrats who are supposed to convince conservatives to
- 3:37Speaker 1: stay home. Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens, one of the folks
- 3:42Speaker 1: who lost to Abdul El-Sayed in the Michigan primaries, has
- 3:48Speaker 1: decided to withdraw her endorsement and endorse Mike Rogers instead,
- 3:53Speaker 1: saying that her concerns over Abdul El-Sayed are to the
- 3:57Speaker 1: power in which Hassan Piker wields over the Democratic candidate
- 4:02Speaker 1: for Senate. President Trump was in Iowa, Dubuque, for a
- 4:07Speaker 1: campaign rally there, calling El-Sayed a jihadist, praising Haley Stevens
- 4:13Speaker 1: for being, quote, very brave to cross party lines. Party
- 4:19Speaker 1: lines not nearly as strict as the demilitarized zone between
- 4:24Speaker 1: North and South Korea, but apparently the North side is
- 4:28Speaker 1: behind the $ 6 billion hack into the cryptocurrency bank Binance.
- 4:36Speaker 1: So while they scrambled to figure out where all that
- 4:38Speaker 1: went and which North Koreans had it, I thought communists
- 4:41Speaker 1: didn't need money. Never mind. The industry, the cryptocurrency industry,
- 4:46Speaker 1: has kept aside $ 200 million to give to 33 House candidates,
- 4:52Speaker 1: according to Fairshake, a crypto-backed super PAC network. They've given
- 4:59Speaker 1: campaign contributions to 19 Republicans and 14 Democrats. Why the bipartisanship?
- 5:05Speaker 1: These 33 all favor legislative priorities of the industry, a.k.a.
- 5:10Speaker 1: regulations that make crypto a easier to make money in.
- 5:15Speaker 1: Federal Judge Sunday dismissed the Department of Justice lawsuit seeking
- 5:19Speaker 1: to block certification of Alaska's Senate race if incumbent Dan S.
- 5:25Speaker 1: Sullivan loses the latest development in a ballot battle that
- 5:29Speaker 1: has roiled in the final days of the Senate midterms.
- 5:34Speaker 1: Sullivan facing Democrat Mary Peltola, a former congresswoman and ranked
- 5:40Speaker 1: choice voting election in which there are two other candidates
- 5:44Speaker 1: and one who also has the name Dan Sullivan. That
- 5:47Speaker 1: Dan Sullivan has been missing because he was last seen
- 5:51Speaker 1: getting on an airplane in Petersburg to head to Anchorage
- 5:56Speaker 1: last Monday and hasn't been seen since. Poland has fallen
- 6:01Speaker 1: into an actual constitutional crisis over Prime Minister Tusk's government
- 6:07Speaker 1: trying to get rid of several judges that wouldn't approve
- 6:12Speaker 1: judicial appointments to lower benches. And those are some of
- 6:15Speaker 1: our first things. I write for the Daily Signal, and
- 6:21Speaker 1: we're going to be working on columns about the midterms,
- 6:24Speaker 1: but also about property rights, data centers, and we may
- 6:28Speaker 1: take a touch in what an actual constitutional crisis looks like.
- 6:34Speaker 1: Since they like to use that term frequently, I cover
- 6:37Speaker 1: Virginia politics for them, along with Rich Tucker. We cover Virginia.
- 6:43Speaker 1: And then we've got Rebecca Downs in Ohio and Rebecca Bice.
- 6:48Speaker 1: And they're not all named Rebecca. Rebecca Bice covering Georgia
- 6:53Speaker 1: and Haley Gomez and.

- 8:04Speaker 8: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
- 8:09Speaker 8: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch and nitric
- 8:14Speaker 8: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
- 8:19Speaker 8: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.

- 8:29Speaker 8: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 8:33Speaker 8: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
- 8:36Speaker 8: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
- 8:40Speaker 8: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
- 8:43Speaker 8: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,

- 9:34Speaker 12: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
- 9:38Speaker 12: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
- 9:42Speaker 12: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
- 9:45Speaker 12: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
- 9:50Speaker 12: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
- 9:54Speaker 12: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
- 9:57Speaker 12: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
- 10:00Speaker 12: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.
- 10:05Speaker 13: I'm Dr.
- 10:05Speaker 12: Susan Rehm of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. When
- 10:09Speaker 12: I speak with my patients, I urge them to get
- 10:11Speaker 12: all their recommended vaccines. Now I'm urging you to speak
- 10:14Speaker 12: with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
- 10:18Speaker 12: For more information about the vaccines that are recommended for
- 10:20Speaker 12: adults and the diseases they prevent, like HPV, whooping cough, tetanus,

- 11:03Speaker 3: Across someone struggling with hunger, how would you recognize them?
- 11:08Speaker 3: By their clothes?
- 11:09Speaker 9: Their age?
- 11:10Speaker 3: The way they speak? Would you notice a 16-year-old boy
- 11:14Speaker 3: who got his first job?
- 11:15Speaker 6: Not for extra spending money, but to help feed his
- 11:18Speaker 6: little sisters. Or a mother who's.
- 11:20Speaker 3: In between jobs and sometimes goes to bed hungry so
- 11:23Speaker 3: her kids can have dinner. Or a 14-year-old girl who
- 11:27Speaker 3: signs up to every after-school activity not to make friends,
- 11:30Speaker 3: but just to get something to eat. Or a retiree
- 11:34Speaker 3: who fell ill and had.
- 11:36Speaker 2: To choose between getting medicine or groceries.
- 11:41Speaker 3: I am the one in eight Americans who struggle with hunger.

- 13:20Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 13:36Speaker 19: So, you know, as we tell you what went on
- 13:38Speaker 19: last night and give you the opportunity to To weigh
- 13:42Speaker 19: in on how it's impacting you where you are, like this.
- 13:47Speaker 1: One from Phil writes in to 434-882-4217. So, Joe, I
- 13:56Speaker 1: was looking at Virginia's constitutional amendments, and I agree with
- 14:00Speaker 1: you that they seem to create the instance where failure
- 14:04Speaker 1: to comply with the government's orders could create a criminal situation.
- 14:10Speaker 1: So if my fire chief tells me I have to
- 14:12Speaker 1: change the batteries in my fire and carbon monoxide detectors
- 14:17Speaker 1: and I don't, can I be charged? Well, Phil, I
- 14:23Speaker 1: certainly see the precedent being set that, you know, actually
- 14:28Speaker 1: probably more likely based on how they've created these criminal
- 14:32Speaker 1: statutes within these constitutional amendments, what will happen is if
- 14:37Speaker 1: If you don't sell 9-volt batteries to somebody who wants
- 14:42Speaker 1: to change the battery in their fire detector, that will
- 14:45Speaker 1: be the crime. You see what I'm saying? And so
- 14:50Speaker 1: failure to permit someone, failure to empower someone or somehow
- 14:56Speaker 1: standing in the way of somebody changing their carbon monoxide batteries,
- 15:01Speaker 1: that would be the crime. if I can draw the
- 15:04Speaker 1: parallels to the constitutional amendments that are before the Virginians.
- 15:09Speaker 1: A fun story, by the way, of yet again what
- 15:12Speaker 1: happens when politicians do things without thinking, because it sounds
- 15:17Speaker 1: good and it gets them some brownie points with the electorate.
- 15:20Speaker 1: We'll get into that coming up. But right now, I
- 15:23Speaker 1: want to find out how gold and silver are. Boy,
- 15:26Speaker 1: they They rolled back on Saturday. Boy, howdy. My ears
- 15:30Speaker 1: started popping. And then I looked at JCSGold.com and I
- 15:33Speaker 1: understood why. Interesting in light of the crypto hack to
- 15:38Speaker 1: see the same thing, the drop in the price of
- 15:41Speaker 1: gold and silver on Saturday. Has it bounced back? Let's
- 15:44Speaker 1: find out. Our family that runs JCSGold.com on the phone
- 15:49Speaker 1: with us, James Luck, fourth generation gold and silver dealer there.
- 15:54Speaker 1: Good morning, James. How are you doing, sir?
- 15:57Speaker 20: I'm doing well, Joe, and gold and silver are trying
- 15:59Speaker 20: to stabilize this morning and find some support. Gold is
- 16:04Speaker 20: up a little bit over half a percent of $ 26
- 16:09Speaker 20: to $ 3, 902. Silver is right there at that $ 50 mark,
- 16:13Speaker 20: up over two and a third percent so far this morning,
- 16:17Speaker 20: up over a dollar for silver, which is a substantial
- 16:20Speaker 20: move to $ 50.
- 16:21Speaker 1: 26.
- 16:23Speaker 20: So popping back above 50, a lot of our clients
- 16:25Speaker 20: were taking advantage of like you said, leading into the
- 16:29Speaker 20: weekend and over the weekend of taking advantage of those
- 16:31Speaker 20: lower prices, mainly on silver, and really kind of buying
- 16:35Speaker 20: up supply of seeing this is a great buying opportunity
- 16:38Speaker 20: on silver.
- 16:39Speaker 1: Well, I felt bad reporting on this Saturday morning, James,
- 16:42Speaker 1: because I knew what it was going to make your
- 16:44Speaker 1: Monday like. Poor guy spends all day Monday shipping out
- 16:48Speaker 1: orders of gold and silver. He's going to be twice
- 16:51Speaker 1: as busy this Monday morning. So hopefully, You got up
- 16:55Speaker 1: an extra hour early, like I did, because I hadn't
- 16:58Speaker 1: set my internal circadian clock ahead. My actual clocks all
- 17:04Speaker 1: went ahead, but my internal clock didn't. So hopefully it
- 17:09Speaker 1: gives you an extra hour to catch up on those orders.
- 17:13Speaker 18: Absolutely.
- 17:14Speaker 20: Take advantage of that extra hour and package up. these
- 17:17Speaker 20: packages to get out to our clients. And that's the
- 17:20Speaker 20: main thing. Like you said, it's a family business. We
- 17:22Speaker 20: don't have a shipping department. I am the phone guy
- 17:26Speaker 20: and the shipping department. We get it all done pretty quickly.
- 17:30Speaker 1: 434-979-COIN is the phone number. How you get to these
- 17:36Speaker 1: folks at jcsgold.com. I appreciate it, sir. Hope you had
- 17:40Speaker 1: a great weekend. Did you have a good Halloween?
- 17:44Speaker 18: Oh yeah. The cow costume was a big hit.
- 17:46Speaker 1: Everyone, everyone enjoyed it. Well, that's the thing. I mean,
- 17:50Speaker 1: that's all you have to, you just have to make
- 17:52Speaker 1: that memory where a kid is like, I remember when
- 17:55Speaker 1: dad dressed up as a cow and, and then, you know,
- 18:00Speaker 1: you've made a, you've made at least something that'll come
- 18:02Speaker 1: back up during their rehearsal dinner. I'm sure.
- 18:06Speaker 18: That's what it's all about. Absolutely.
- 18:08Speaker 2: All right.
- 18:09Speaker 1: Be good, my friend. And we'll talk to you again
- 18:11Speaker 1: later on.
- 18:13Speaker 18: Thanks, Joe.
- 18:14Speaker 1: So gold and silver, not as much of a discount
- 18:17Speaker 1: as it was on Saturday morning, but still on discount.
- 18:22Speaker 1: So make sure you get with jcsgold.com and talk to them.
- 18:27Speaker 1: Talk to them because they're a family business, not interested
- 18:30Speaker 1: in upselling you or anything. They just want to make
- 18:33Speaker 1: sure that you make the best decision possible. So decisions, discernments. analysis.
- 18:41Speaker 1: You expect, since we ask a government to do so
- 18:44Speaker 1: many things, there are some simple things. For example, and
- 18:49Speaker 1: this is controversial, if somebody commits a felony, generally speaking,
- 18:57Speaker 1: in a legitimately balanced society, a felony is the highest
- 19:03Speaker 1: form of crime you can commit And it's generally built
- 19:07Speaker 1: out as a violation of somebody else's God-given rights.
- 19:12Speaker 3: Right?
- 19:13Speaker 1: So we can agree on what a felony is. Yes,
- 19:16Speaker 1: we have expanded things that we just really, really, really, really, really,
- 19:23Speaker 1: really don't like. And some of those have become felonies
- 19:26Speaker 1: as well. But also they are things that are going
- 19:30Speaker 1: to cost the government money, thus the felony. Because that's
- 19:36Speaker 1: another thing. You can't infringe on the government's right to
- 19:39Speaker 1: have your money. But one of the things that happens
- 19:45Speaker 1: because felony convictions are of a nature... a crime that
- 19:51Speaker 1: is based on such a disregard for your neighbor's God-given rights,
- 19:58Speaker 1: you lose your rights. You can't own a gun. You
- 20:02Speaker 1: can't vote. You can't hold office. You can't do a
- 20:05Speaker 1: lot of things. certainly while you're in jail for a felony,
- 20:13Speaker 1: but even sometimes when you get out. Now, some states,
- 20:16Speaker 1: many of them, are creating automatic restoration of voting rights.
- 20:23Speaker 1: Virginia doesn't have one of those. Virginia, our flagship state,
- 20:27Speaker 1: makes you apply to the government. And unfortunately, the government
- 20:32Speaker 1: has done a bad job of this. And I can
- 20:34Speaker 1: tell you why the government's done a bad job of this,
- 20:37Speaker 1: because Republicans don't want to give people their voting rights
- 20:41Speaker 1: back because the Democrats will call them soft on crime.
- 20:48Speaker 1: So they drag their heels before they give somebody their
- 20:55Speaker 1: voting rights back. which has allowed the Democrats to then
- 20:59Speaker 1: campaign on, we want to give everyone their voting rights back.
- 21:02Speaker 1: Here's the problem. Cue our friend Tom Drops Bombs.
- 21:06Speaker 17: At what point does rank incompetence and malfeasance become criminal conduct?
- 21:13Speaker 1: Well, we're going to find out in a moment as
- 21:15Speaker 1: news is approaching us quickly here on the Eastern Seaboard.
- 21:20Speaker 1: Just checking. It is 627 a.m. They haven't passed any
- 21:26Speaker 1: permanent daylight savings time. But what rank incompetence is he
- 21:30Speaker 1: talking about? The kind of rank incompetence that populists like
- 21:35Speaker 1: Terry McAuliffe have engaged in before. And surely we understand
- 21:41Speaker 1: that you want to get your rights back after your
- 21:44Speaker 1: debt to society has been paid. But we have to
- 21:47Speaker 1: make sure that you are cleared of those— and please— Don't
- 21:54Speaker 1: call me Shirley.
- 22:02Speaker 5: Hey, I'm Brant, and her name is Sherry.
- 22:04Speaker 2: Hello.
- 22:05Speaker 5: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
- 22:07Speaker 5: for because of a surgery she just went through.
- 22:09Speaker 21: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
- 22:12Speaker 21: talk about all the time, which is?
- 22:14Speaker 1: MediShare.
- 22:14Speaker 21: That is right.
- 22:15Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 22:16Speaker 5: So what was your experience like with MediShare and the
- 22:18Speaker 5: health care bills?
- 22:19Speaker 21: Honestly, Brant, seamless. And what a blessing that is when
- 22:22Speaker 21: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was.
- 22:24Speaker 22: Yeah.
- 22:25Speaker 21: Members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
- 22:28Speaker 21: me tell you, having people pray with you when you
- 22:31Speaker 21: call in with your need, that is just... It is refreshing. Yes,
- 22:35Speaker 21: that's what it is.
- 22:35Speaker 5: But I keep telling people, people love MediShare and they
- 22:39Speaker 5: love saving money. A typical family can save $ 500 a month.
- 22:43Speaker 21: I am very thankful for MediShare. It is so different,
- 22:47Speaker 21: and I mean different in a very, very good way.
- 22:49Speaker 1: It is good different.

- 23:03Speaker 23: Michael Bailey, president of the American Veterinary Medical Association. Artificial
- 23:08Speaker 23: intelligence is everywhere. and now it's helping veterinarians deliver better
- 23:12Speaker 23: care for pets. From AI-assisted radiographs that speed up diagnoses
- 23:17Speaker 23: to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports veterinary teams
- 23:22Speaker 23: in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop personalized cancer treatments,
- 23:28Speaker 23: predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease, and even streamline
- 23:33Speaker 23: record-keeping so veterinarians can focus more on patients. But As
- 23:38Speaker 23: with any new technology, always keep a human in the
- 23:41Speaker 23: loop to maintain the best pet healthcare. AI is a
- 23:46Speaker 23: powerful tool, but not a replacement for your veterinarian's expertise, compassion,
- 23:51Speaker 23: and judgment, which remains at the center of our profession.

- 28:12Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 28:16Speaker 20: So get out your seat and jump around.
- 28:30Speaker 1: His name is Tom, and he drops bombs on YouTube.
- 28:34Speaker 1: And over the weekend, it's happened again. More people who
- 28:38Speaker 1: shouldn't have gotten their voting rights back have. And if
- 28:42Speaker 1: you remember, Bill Clinton's travel agent, also known as Terry McAuliffe.
- 28:49Speaker 2: All right.
- 28:50Speaker 1: More technically, he was Bill Clinton's chief fundraiser, and he
- 28:54Speaker 1: made a lot of money for President Clinton's by renting
- 28:58Speaker 1: out the Lincoln bedroom to folks like Danny DeVito and
- 29:01Speaker 1: Rhea Perlman, try to unsee that video of Danny on
- 29:05Speaker 1: The View. Search Danny DeVito drunk The View. Because he
- 29:12Speaker 1: apparently had been out pretty late at night when he
- 29:14Speaker 1: had came into The View that morning, or he starts
- 29:17Speaker 1: a lot earlier than I thought. But one of the
- 29:21Speaker 1: problems was Terry McAuliffe, when he elevated himself, to the
- 29:25Speaker 1: realm of governor of Virginia, decided the populist approach of
- 29:29Speaker 1: the world would be to give everybody their voting rights
- 29:32Speaker 1: back that had finished their felony sentences. And the problem,
- 29:37Speaker 1: of course, with this was a good procedure. of them
- 29:41Speaker 1: were back in jail some of them were even at
- 29:45Speaker 1: the point of being on the FBI's most wanted list
- 29:51Speaker 1: but it was sure populist when it happened and it's
- 29:54Speaker 1: happened again history doesn't repeat itself but it rhymes.
- 29:59Speaker 17: At what point does rank incompetence and malfeasance become criminal conduct?
- 30:06Speaker 17: If you don't share this video, you are doing it wrong.
- 30:09Speaker 17: This just happened today. Now, you've heard about Betty No
- 30:14Speaker 17: Last Name and innumerable dead people who've received rights restorations
- 30:18Speaker 17: from the benevolent governoress Abigail Spanberger. But in my district,
- 30:25Speaker 17: we recently received this document from a constituent But why
- 30:30Speaker 17: shouldn't Biscuit Rigsby have her voting rights restored, you ask? Well,
- 30:34Speaker 17: Biscuit Rigsby died five years ago. Yeah, but Tom, we've
- 30:38Speaker 17: heard so many stories of dead people having their voting
- 30:41Speaker 17: rights restored. This isn't even news. Yes, but you haven't
- 30:44Speaker 17: heard this yet. Biscuit Rigsby? was a beagle-hound mix. We
- 30:49Speaker 17: have the letter, we have the raised seal, we have
- 30:52Speaker 17: the signature of Governor Abigail Spanberger of the Commonwealth of Virginia,
- 30:56Speaker 17: and the only thing stopping Biscuit Rigsby, beagle-hound mix of Goochland, Virginia,
- 31:02Speaker 17: from taking a picture of the QR code and mailing
- 31:04Speaker 17: in a ballot is the, you know, decent, upstanding, honest
- 31:08Speaker 17: nature of the constituent who was previously Biscuit Rigsby's owner.
- 31:14Speaker 1: And it reminds me, and so.
- 31:17Speaker 1: I've mentioned in the past, have I mentioned in the
- 31:19Speaker 1: past that I write for the Daily Signal? One of
- 31:22Speaker 1: my brethren and sistren at the Daily Signal last week
- 31:32Speaker 1: showed us five envelopes that she had received at her
- 31:42Speaker 1: home all addressed to different people, but all containing mail-in ballots.
- 31:51Speaker 1: Because now California automatically was sending anyone on the voter rolls.
- 32:01Speaker 1: And any time a government does something automatically, you probably
- 32:07Speaker 1: need to search it out a little bit more than that.
- 32:16Speaker 1: You probably want to poke around a little bit more
- 32:20Speaker 1: around the outside. Just because nothing happens automatically. Nothing just
- 32:34Speaker 1: falls out of the sky. We wish, absolutely, we all wish.
- 32:44Speaker 1: That people would just show up and say, hey, I
- 32:47Speaker 1: understand you're having a tough time paying your electric bill. Hey,
- 32:50Speaker 1: here's a month's free electricity. But as Tom's constituent, the
- 33:01Speaker 1: former caregiver, and believe it or not, one of my
- 33:04Speaker 1: favorite parts of the story are all the people who
- 33:06Speaker 1: are mad because he called the constituent that sent him
- 33:10Speaker 1: the letter, the dog's owner. Don't you know he's a companion?
- 33:16Speaker 1: White supremacist, misogynist. Angelina, in California, also being an ethical person,
- 33:26Speaker 1: isn't going to vote with the five ballots that she
- 33:30Speaker 1: was sent to her home. And some of them may
- 33:35Speaker 1: have just been overstays because people don't do what the
- 33:40Speaker 1: law actually tells you to do, which is when you
- 33:43Speaker 1: move a jurisdiction, you're supposed to tell your previous jurisdiction
- 33:50Speaker 1: you've left. Now, there are some states that have what's
- 33:53Speaker 1: called reciprocity, where if you register to vote in Pennsylvania,
- 34:00Speaker 1: they call West Virginia and say, hey, Joe Thomas just
- 34:04Speaker 1: moved here And I think he's moved from your state,
- 34:08Speaker 1: so take him off your list. But there are a
- 34:12Speaker 1: lot of states that are like, no, we have authority
- 34:16Speaker 1: and you have to tell us you've moved away. So
- 34:20Speaker 1: there's a lot of states that keep past citizens, whether
- 34:24Speaker 1: they've passed or they've just moved, on their voter rolls.
- 34:30Speaker 1: We have instances where earnest college students looking to impress
- 34:36Speaker 1: their professors at James Madison University, ironically, had been voting
- 34:42Speaker 1: for quite a few dead people that they were able
- 34:45Speaker 1: to find on the voter roll still. So they found
- 34:48Speaker 1: all these non-citizens, these deceased persons, requested mail-in ballots in
- 34:56Speaker 1: their name and started voting. And it only was caught,
- 35:00Speaker 1: the felony was only caught because one of the election
- 35:04Speaker 1: officials knew that the voter had passed away because she
- 35:08Speaker 1: was related to him. She's like, how did Judge Smith vote?
- 35:16Speaker 1: He's been dead for six months. And listen, just because
- 35:22Speaker 1: you're dead doesn't mean you shouldn't have a right to vote.
- 35:29Speaker 1: So the.
- 35:36Speaker 1: This is in the folder, along with the other stories,
- 35:40Speaker 1: of not a flaw but a feature. This is all
- 35:44Speaker 1: part and parcel of, number one, what we wind up
- 35:48Speaker 1: having happen to us when we ask the government to
- 35:51Speaker 1: do too many things for us. But also, it serves
- 35:55Speaker 1: the purpose of vote suppression. It serves the purpose to
- 36:01Speaker 1: tell you to stay home. All hope is lost. We've
- 36:09Speaker 1: figured out how to screw you. We wrote the rules,
- 36:13Speaker 1: so don't expect us to unwrite those rules until given
- 36:18Speaker 1: a court order. And then, of course, we'll just claim
- 36:20Speaker 1: the court order came from a Trump judge, and therefore
- 36:24Speaker 1: we are somehow allowed to ignore any laws that Donald
- 36:28Speaker 1: Trump has anything involved in. Do you think I'm kidding?
- 36:34Speaker 1: You think I'm making that scenario up? One of the
- 36:40Speaker 1: things that Hakeem Jeffries and the Democrats are working on
- 36:45Speaker 1: is an insistence that, and they're preparing legal briefs on
- 36:53Speaker 1: trying to make sure that none of the Congress people
- 36:59Speaker 1: they oust in their minds, they're going to oust all
- 37:02Speaker 1: these Congress people, that none of them will be able
- 37:06Speaker 1: to pass laws during the, quote, lame duck session. They
- 37:12Speaker 1: want to restrict the 119th Congress until the 120th gets sat.
- 37:18Speaker 1: No new laws, can't pass anything. Now, I don't think
- 37:22Speaker 1: a court's going to go along with that, but it'll
- 37:24Speaker 1: get into the press. And of course, then the press
- 37:27Speaker 1: will tell you about it and you will say, oh,
- 37:29Speaker 1: They're just trying to ramrod things. We sent them home,
- 37:32Speaker 1: we being 25% of the population. Not a flaw, but
- 37:39Speaker 1: a feature. If we all go out and vote, they
- 37:43Speaker 1: won't have their way. If we show up, if there's
- 37:46Speaker 1: 60% voter turnout, if there's 65% voter turnout, and I
- 37:53Speaker 1: know you're sitting there saying, well, so-and-so isn't perfect. But
- 37:56Speaker 1: imagine what the alternative is going to be like before
- 38:00Speaker 1: you make that decision.
- 38:02Speaker 5: Life can change so fast. Abruptly, just ask Paul. He's
- 38:06Speaker 5: a hardworking entrepreneur.
- 38:07Speaker 25: He's young.
- 38:08Speaker 5: He's got a young family. Suddenly, though, he develops a
- 38:11Speaker 5: rare medical condition where he lost the use of both.
- 38:14Speaker 2: Of his arms.
- 38:15Speaker 6: I could no longer drive a car, couldn't use a computer,
- 38:17Speaker 6: couldn't type, couldn't use a mouse. I could not hold
- 38:19Speaker 6: my son, who was about a month old.
- 38:21Speaker 5: Paul and his family were facing a mountain of medical bills,
- 38:24Speaker 5: but they're so thankful that they're members of MediShare.
- 38:28Speaker 7: I think if someone asked me, like, hey, does MediShare
- 38:30Speaker 7: really work? I'm living proof that it works. My four
- 38:34Speaker 7: children are living proof that it works. My arms, which
- 38:37Speaker 7: have been healed, are living proof that MediShare works. Just
- 38:40Speaker 7: knowing the emotional peace of mind, knowing that our needs
- 38:43Speaker 7: are going to be taken care of when we have
- 38:45Speaker 7: some type of medical problem, that is such a huge
- 38:47Speaker 7: blessing to us.
- 38:48Speaker 5: It could be a huge blessing to you, too. People

- 39:05Speaker 8: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 39:08Speaker 8: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 39:14Speaker 8: I'm Dr.
- 39:14Speaker 25: Mitch.
- 39:15Speaker 8: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
- 39:21Speaker 8: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 39:25Speaker 8: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 39:29Speaker 8: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 39:33Speaker 8: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
- 39:40Speaker 8: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or at
- 39:44Speaker 8: least slow the spread of cancer and and in many instances,
- 39:48Speaker 8: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
- 39:53Speaker 8: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,

- 40:34Speaker 26: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
- 40:38Speaker 26: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,

- 40:47Speaker 26: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General at oig.ssa.gov.
- 40:54Speaker 26: Share this information with your friends and family.
- 40:59Speaker 18: Hi, everybody.
- 41:00Speaker 27: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
- 41:02Speaker 27: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 41:05Speaker 27: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
- 41:07Speaker 27: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 41:09Speaker 27: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes,
- 41:13Speaker 27: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
- 41:16Speaker 27: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
- 41:19Speaker 27: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
- 41:22Speaker 27: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
- 41:25Speaker 27: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
- 41:27Speaker 27: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
- 41:31Speaker 27: but because of their acute senses, they also perform lifesaving
- 41:34Speaker 27: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
- 41:37Speaker 27: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
- 41:40Speaker 27: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
- 41:43Speaker 27: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
- 41:45Speaker 27: trained roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
- 41:49Speaker 27: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
- 41:52Speaker 27: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
- 41:54Speaker 27: planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
- 42:00Speaker 6: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
- 42:02Speaker 8: Oh, yeah?
- 42:02Speaker 18: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 42:05Speaker 13: And now a speech.
- 42:08Speaker 16: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 42:11Speaker 18: Heart and brain.
- 42:13Speaker 1: Who's with me?
- 42:14Speaker 27: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
- 42:16Speaker 16: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
- 42:19Speaker 16: somebody call me a ride.
- 42:20Speaker 24: Love that guy.
- 42:21Speaker 13: Me too.
- 42:22Speaker 4: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 42:25Speaker 4: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 42:30Speaker 28: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 42:32Speaker 28: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 42:36Speaker 28: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
- 42:40Speaker 28: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 42:43Speaker 28: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
- 42:47Speaker 28: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
- 42:52Speaker 28: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
- 42:55Speaker 28: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time

- 44:42Speaker 1: A few of them on the subject. on the dog
- 44:52Speaker 1: that was given its voting rights back despite being deceased. Joe,
- 44:57Speaker 1: the bigger question, is the dog Rigsby old enough to vote?
- 45:02Speaker 1: Last time I checked, you needed to be 18. That's
- 45:05Speaker 1: very old for even a beagle. Well, Jack, honestly, I'll
- 45:11Speaker 1: have to ask, you know, Tom drops bombs with us
- 45:13Speaker 1: on the radio tomorrow morning. I'll have to ask if
- 45:16Speaker 1: this would have been a voter registration in dog years.
- 45:21Speaker 1: So what is it they say? Seven years? So it
- 45:24Speaker 1: would be one, two, three. So the dog would have
- 45:26Speaker 1: to be at least four in dog years to be
- 45:32Speaker 1: able to vote. This one. Do you think voting is
- 45:41Speaker 1: a right or a privilege? I believe having a say.
- 45:47Speaker 1: in your government, because we believe that all men have
- 45:51Speaker 1: these God-given rights, I believe that voting is a right.
- 45:57Speaker 1: That in order to have a society that looks after
- 46:00Speaker 1: the citizen as the sovereign, then the right of the
- 46:04Speaker 1: citizen to vote is unquestionable. And therefore, it can be
- 46:12Speaker 1: suspended by your commission of a felony. But that being said,
- 46:17Speaker 1: those who we've elected into office have to abide by
- 46:22Speaker 1: that status that felonies are not just things we really, really, really, really,
- 46:27Speaker 1: really don't like. Felonies should be violations of other people's rights.
- 46:36Speaker 1: Fraud against taxpayers, felony. Did you know there are laws
- 46:40Speaker 1: against that? We're acting like there's all these people scrambling
- 46:44Speaker 1: around trying to come up with things we can do
- 46:47Speaker 1: when we catch Somali pirates making off with the booty
- 46:53Speaker 1: from Minneapolis. Guess what? There's already statutes on the books
- 46:58Speaker 1: called the Fraud Against Taxpayers Act. We tried to get
- 47:02Speaker 1: Michael Mann, the climate scientist, on it because he was
- 47:06Speaker 1: taking government money to create his hockey stick graph. And
- 47:11Speaker 1: we couldn't make that stick because the University of Virginia
- 47:16Speaker 1: couldn't find out where its fax machine was or its
- 47:19Speaker 1: photocopier or would insist that it cost too much to
- 47:23Speaker 1: print out emails on paper rather than just send the
- 47:27Speaker 1: electronic filing to the attorney general's office, who was technically
- 47:34Speaker 1: their lawyer, but they wouldn't comply. Would your lawyer quit
- 47:39Speaker 1: pretty quickly? If you said, no, I'm not giving you
- 47:43Speaker 1: my tax records. Well, I'm trying to defend you. No, no,
- 47:47Speaker 1: you can't see them. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. 434-882-4217
- 47:53Speaker 1: is the phone number. Emails jtinthemorningradio at gmail.com. Whether you're
- 48:00Speaker 1: a registered voter or not or whether you're registered in
- 48:03Speaker 1: multiple states, it's all good as far as I'm concerned here.
- 48:06Speaker 1: Good morning. Who's this?
- 48:09Speaker 18: Hey, good morning, Joe. It's Joel.
- 48:11Speaker 1: Oh, happy Monday morning, Joel. How are you doing?
- 48:14Speaker 18: Happy Monday. Yeah, our time doesn't change here. We're PCT.
- 48:18Speaker 1: Oh, okay. Isn't that a pharmaceutical?
- 48:21Speaker 2: Isn't that?
- 48:22Speaker 1: No, that's a PCB. Okay.
- 48:26Speaker 18: I mean, PST, excuse me.
- 48:27Speaker 1: PST.
- 48:30Speaker 18: Pacific Standard Time. So we always say... At Pacific Standard Time,
- 48:35Speaker 18: I guess. I mean, Hawaii does their Hawaii time.
- 48:38Speaker 1: Indiana is another one. I think Indiana doesn't do time change.
- 48:43Speaker 18: Yeah. Well, Lawrenceburg actually has Central Time in one spot
- 48:50Speaker 18: in Indiana. So that's interesting.
- 48:52Speaker 1: Crazy making. Anyway, so aside from that master's class and
- 48:57Speaker 1: what happens when we let the government decide things for us,
- 49:00Speaker 1: what else is on your mind?
- 49:03Speaker 5: Oh.
- 49:03Speaker 18: I'm kind of glad. I mean, it's interesting to hear
- 49:07Speaker 18: Hallie Stevens get out and actually say it without the
- 49:14Speaker 18: garbage that comes out of a lot of the politicians' mouth.
- 49:19Speaker 18: And she did it with sincerity. And you can kind
- 49:22Speaker 18: of feel the fear of.
- 49:25Speaker 18: I think she's finally realizing that, hey, I'm in a party,
- 49:29Speaker 18: but a party is as the barge is separated from
- 49:34Speaker 18: the dock. And it's not all there. And I think...
- 49:39Speaker 18: A lot of the Democrats that just say, hey, I'm
- 49:44Speaker 18: a Democrat, I'm going to vote state Democrat, are realizing
- 49:47Speaker 18: that you have to vote with some type of logic.
- 49:51Speaker 5: Right.
- 49:51Speaker 1: You have to look at the candidate. Well, here's the
- 49:54Speaker 1: thing about Stevens as well, is I think she's exposing like,
- 49:59Speaker 1: you know, a whistleblower might. What's going on with the
- 50:02Speaker 1: Democratic Party? And it is, I've had whispers of this
- 50:08Speaker 1: from people who didn't have the bravery, Stevens, to go
- 50:11Speaker 1: out and say it on the stump, is that this
- 50:13Speaker 1: has been a long-held position in the Democrat Party. This
- 50:18Speaker 1: is why you don't find voters splitting the ticket, because membership,
- 50:23Speaker 1: what was it? Was it a credit card? Membership has
- 50:27Speaker 1: its privileges. Oh, American Express, right, American Express, that was
- 50:30Speaker 1: their slogan, membership has its privileges. And that was the
- 50:35Speaker 1: Democratic Party hook was, you know, vote Democrat and you'll
- 50:40Speaker 1: go to the head of the line. And she found
- 50:42Speaker 1: out that, you know, they will lean on the scales
- 50:45Speaker 1: when possible. And they didn't, you know, create a fair
- 50:49Speaker 1: environment for her to try to win the nomination.
- 50:51Speaker 18: It's kind of like when Elon Musk said you know
- 50:58Speaker 18: brought himself in front of because Elon is brilliant but
- 51:02Speaker 18: he brought himself in front of the country and said
- 51:04Speaker 18: look I can't keep seeing this stuff happen and all
- 51:09Speaker 18: these losses are somebody else's gain and the gain is
- 51:13Speaker 18: not For the American people, it's those people that have
- 51:18Speaker 18: been put into or elected or put into political offices.
- 51:22Speaker 1: Right.
- 51:23Speaker 18: And they're just siphoning off the oil well from the people.
- 51:26Speaker 1: Well, but this is this is, you know, as I've
- 51:28Speaker 1: said so many times, we give these people power and
- 51:31Speaker 1: then we're shocked when they abuse it or they they
- 51:35Speaker 1: act badly in order to keep it. They shouldn't have
- 51:39Speaker 1: these kind of powers. They shouldn't have this authority anymore.
- 51:42Speaker 1: to have it. Here's a question for you. Should the
- 51:45Speaker 1: Democratic Party be decertified? See, because, you know, we have
- 51:51Speaker 1: Alaska and the collusion with the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee
- 51:55Speaker 1: and Mary Pallotta to get the missing Dan Sullivan into
- 52:00Speaker 1: the race. We have the Abdul El-Sayed and the phony
- 52:03Speaker 1: polls that were used to defeat Stevens and was it
- 52:08Speaker 1: Margaret Mary, something or another. you know, with all these
- 52:13Speaker 1: criminal activities, shouldn't at some point the charter of the
- 52:17Speaker 1: Democratic Party just be taken away?
- 52:19Speaker 18: I don't know, because I think that I don't want
- 52:28Speaker 18: to go across and make everything, everybody gets a trophy,
- 52:31Speaker 18: but I think the Republican Party has its problems too.
- 52:34Speaker 18: But I think judicially that Well, then you have to
- 52:39Speaker 18: have judges that are actually following their.
- 52:41Speaker 1: Oh, and what a tangled web we weave, Joel, when
- 52:45Speaker 1: we practice to, well, to govern the United States.
- 52:52Speaker 29: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
- 52:55Speaker 29: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
- 52:58Speaker 1: It was MediShare that came through for us, and there
- 53:00Speaker 1: was no hassle.
- 53:01Speaker 17: There was no problem.
- 53:02Speaker 29: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
- 53:06Speaker 29: of such an incredible ministry.
- 53:08Speaker 15: MediShare is a biblical approach to health care where Christians
- 53:11Speaker 15: share each other's medical expenses.
- 53:14Speaker 4: MediShare is a family, a group of people that stick
- 53:18Speaker 4: with you through the hardest times of your life.
- 53:21Speaker 15: MediShare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over 30 years old,
- 53:25Speaker 15: and members have shared over $ 8 billion of each other's
- 53:28Speaker 15: medical bills.
- 53:29Speaker 3: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
- 53:31Speaker 9: You can focus on supporting other people.
- 53:34Speaker 6: MediShare is affordable.
- 53:35Speaker 8: MediShare is biblical.
- 53:37Speaker 24: MediShare is family.
