• 1:03
  Speaker 5: Aims to please you.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: this morning. I'm telling you, if I was superstitious or
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: capable of being superstitious at all, this 25th anniversary.
• 1:26
  Speaker 6: What the hell was that?
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: It's not like a plane crash.
• 1:35
  Speaker 7: Immediately there's speculation or cause for concern. This is the
• 1:38
  Speaker 7: World Trade Center that was the center of a terrorist
• 1:41
  Speaker 7: bombing some years ago. So the questions have to be asked,
• 1:44
  Speaker 7: was this purely an accident or could this have been
• 1:46
  Speaker 7: an intentional act? But either way, extensive damage.
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: What's this other.
• 1:53
  Speaker 8: Jet doing?
• 1:53
  Speaker 9: What the hell is that?
• 1:55
  Speaker 7: Oh, fuck!
• 2:03
  Speaker 10: That's how six, seven floors were taken out.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: And there's more explosions right now.
• 2:08
  Speaker 8: Hold on, people are running.
• 2:09
  Speaker 11: Hold on.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Hold on just a moment.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: We've got an explosion inside.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: The building's exploding right now.
• 2:14
  Speaker 12: You've got people running up the street.
• 2:16
  Speaker 13: Hold on, I'll tell you what's going on.
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: Oh, my God.
• 2:19
  Speaker 14: Another plane has just hit another building.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Flew right into the middle of it.
• 2:24
  Speaker 8: Explosion.
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: Oh, my God.
• 2:26
  Speaker 15: It's right in the middle of the building.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: So what it sounded like 25 years ago, as a
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: matter of fact, Mohammed Atta and a bunch of the
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: guys from the Boston hijacking, those two planes that hit
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the Trade Center, were already on their planes flying from Portland,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Maine at this point 25 years ago to Logan Airport,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: knowing that the far more arduous airport security at Logan
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be checking them because they flew in from a
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: small regional airport. And I will say of all the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: things in all of Christendom that has changed since the
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: advent of Patriot Act and TSA and everything else is
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the fact that airport security at smaller airports like by
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: our flagship city in Charlottesville is far greater. As a
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: matter of fact, you know, certainly smaller operations, but on
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the same par as what you would find in Newark Airport,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: where Flight 93 took off from that morning. But they
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: knew they knew how to do the voodoo that they
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: wanted to do to us that day 25 years ago.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: If it was possible for me to feel like I
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: was having a series of unfortunate events and that there
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: was somehow luck involved. See, September 13th was a Friday
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: in 1963, and that was the day I started being.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: So I can't be superstitious, but boy, I'm going to
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: tell you, they have thrown every Every piece of hardware
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: at us this morning, including and not limited to a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: rain forecast or a rainstorm that wasn't in the forecast
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: at all this morning. But, you know, we are shouldering
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: through here. Let me get you your first things so
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: that you know what's going on in the world. And
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: then we'll get to your phone calls as well this morning.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: And yes, we will talk about the convention and J.D.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Vance's speech certainly there, but an appeals court yesterday upheld
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: a block on President Trump's executive order limiting mail-in voting
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: only to those verified addresses from a national database of
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: voter rolls. The decision comes as the Supreme Court still
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: considers the case, and states have already started sending out
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: ballots for this year's election. The three-judge panel refused to
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: lift a preliminary injunction against the orders issued last week
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: by U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani. It prohibits the
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Postal Service from implementing the directive, which would prohibit any
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: states that had not verified their voter rolls with the
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Federal Department of Elections from using the U.S. Postal Service.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: for ballot delivery. It was the second day of the
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: RNC midterm conventions, and President Donald Trump said he did
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: not regret going into war against Iran despite the impact
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: that the conflict has had and may have on the
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: November midterms. If I had to do it again, I
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: would do it exactly as I did. And that's our
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: first things this morning here. On the Talk Media Network.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: One of our supporters, Sealy, he's getting a workout between
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: my wife and me. And most of my issue is
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: the fact that this isn't what you would call an
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: ergonomic broadcast studio. So I'm hunched over. The table we
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: work on is maybe a foot shorter than it needs
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: to be. So I'm kind of in that mid-hunch over.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: So there's been a little bit of Celie's wonderful CBD
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: oil that he makes out at MesaVerdeHemp.com. It's been very helpful.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: My wife, I told you, she had fallen and hurt
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: her back while she was caring for her mom. And
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: that's been an ongoing thing as well. But take a look.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Go to MesaVertiHemp.com. The unbankers want to keep screwing Sealy around,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: but he's got you there. You can take a look
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: at MesaVertiHemp.com. Let's see.
• 7:02
  Speaker 16: If something costs less, a lot less, but people are
• 7:05
  Speaker 16: actually happier with it, that sounds like something to look into.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: And that's Metashare.
• 7:10
  Speaker 16: Maybe you've heard joining MediShare can save you or your
• 7:13
  Speaker 16: family up to 500 bucks a month, and that's huge,
• 7:16
  Speaker 16: but it's also true.
• 7:17
  Speaker 17: People are just happier with it.
• 7:18
  Speaker 16: They love being part of something that reflects and promotes their.
• 7:21
  Speaker 17: Values and what they believe in. MediShare works, too.
• 7:25
  Speaker 16: It's been around for 30 years now, and members have
• 7:28
  Speaker 16: shared more than $ 7 billion of each other's bills. People
• 7:32
  Speaker 16: love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network, so
• 7:34
  Speaker 16: MediShare Yeah, really, you can save a ton and like
• 7:37
  Speaker 16: it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
• 7:40
  Speaker 16: of your health care, whether you're self-employed or part of
• 7:43
  Speaker 16: the gig economy, or you just want a plan that
• 7:45
  Speaker 16: you're happy with.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Here you go.
• 7:47
  Speaker 16: You can call right now and get a price within
• 7:49
  Speaker 16: two minutes. A very, very smart use of two minutes.
• 7:52
  Speaker 16: Here's the number you need.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: It's 855-SHARE-40.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: 855-S-H-A-R-E-40.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: 855-SHARE-40.
• 8:04
  Speaker 18: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 8:09
  Speaker 18: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 8:14
  Speaker 18: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 8:18
  Speaker 18: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 8:23
  Speaker 18: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 8:28
  Speaker 18: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 8:33
  Speaker 18: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 8:36
  Speaker 18: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 8:40
  Speaker 18: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 8:42
  Speaker 18: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,
• 8:47
  Speaker 18: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

  Speaker 10: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 9:37
  Speaker 10: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 9:42
  Speaker 10: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 9:45
  Speaker 10: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 9:49
  Speaker 10: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 9:53
  Speaker 10: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 9:57
  Speaker 10: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
• 10:00
  Speaker 10: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.

• 10:14
  Speaker 10: with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
• 10:17
  Speaker 10: For more information about the vaccines that are recommended for
• 10:20
  Speaker 10: adults and the diseases they prevent, like HPV, whooping cough, tetanus,

  Speaker 11: If you came across someone struggling with hunger, how would
• 11:05
  Speaker 11: you recognize them?
• 11:07
  Speaker 20: By their clothes?
• 11:09
  Speaker 21: Their age?
• 11:10
  Speaker 22: The way they speak?
• 11:11
  Speaker 11: Would you notice a 16-year-old boy who got.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: His first job?
• 11:15
  Speaker 11: Not for extra spending money, but to help feed his
• 11:17
  Speaker 11: little sisters. Or a mother who's in between jobs and
• 11:21
  Speaker 11: sometimes goes to bed hungry so her kids can have dinner.
• 11:26
  Speaker 11: Or a 14-year-old girl who signs up to every.

• 12:31
  Speaker 24: You guys, I love this song.
• 12:35
  Speaker 25: I love these nachos.
• 12:37
  Speaker 10: I love our kickball league.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I love this guy.
• 12:42
  Speaker 24: What's your name?
• 12:43
  Speaker 12: You know what I love? A ride when it's time
• 12:46
  Speaker 12: to head out. If you see a buzzed warning sign,

• 13:12
  Speaker 2: We've cut the cost of radio listening by, hell, it

  Speaker 1: And call it even.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: I'm afraid of the Russians.
• 13:30
  Speaker 25: I can't sleep at night.
• 13:34
  Speaker 13: So afraid of the Russians.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Afraid we've got to fight. I love that song because
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: people are like, I know I heard that song. People
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: old enough to remember. I know I used to hear
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: that song. What the heck is the name of that song?
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Very big in the early 80s. But because we can't
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: allow ourselves to forget that there are funding streams for
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: all of this stuff. You know, Muhammad Atta and those guys,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: they paid cash money for those flying lessons.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: They did.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: And where'd they get that cash money from? Where did
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Osama bin Laden get all that money from? Who was
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: looking for proxies to cause problems? Let's not forget that
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: the Mujahideen were our best buddies. The Mujahideen were actually
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: heroes in a James Bond movie and then became Al-Qaeda.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: It's amazing what a little rebranding can do for you.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: But joining us to take a moment and talk about
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: what's going on in gold and silver on this... 25th
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: anniversary of September 11th is our friend James Luck from
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: the jcsgold.com site and the Jefferson Coin Shop family business
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: helping you get into the gold and silver world. Good morning, James.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: How are you doing this morning?
• 14:56
  Speaker 26: I'm doing well, Joe.
• 14:57
  Speaker 9: And gold and silver are in the green so far
• 14:59
  Speaker 9: this morning.
• 15:00
  Speaker 26: Gold is up about three quarters of a percent, up
• 15:04
  Speaker 26: $ 31 to $ 4, 348.
• 15:04
  Speaker 9: Silver is also up three quarters of a percent.
• 15:11
  Speaker 26: To $ 64.
• 15:12
  Speaker 17: 05.
• 15:14
  Speaker 26: Silver right there at that 64 level, that's still lower
• 15:17
  Speaker 26: than it was about a week ago. So still at
• 15:19
  Speaker 26: a nice discount there, but trying to make some headway
• 15:22
  Speaker 26: back into that breakout zone.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: I hazard to ask this because you're so much younger
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: than I am. And if you don't want to answer,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: that's fine. I'll tell stories about my kids who are
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: three and four, so that's okay. But what was September
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: 11th of 2001? How did you experience it? You know,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: what was the impact on you? Obviously, your mom and pop,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: you know, and the store was open because you've been
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: going since 1961 there. You know, how did it hit
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: you guys?
• 15:57
  Speaker 26: Yeah, well, it will definitely show my age, my young age.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: I was in middle school.
• 16:04
  Speaker 9: When when that happened and the shop was open, the
• 16:07
  Speaker 9: shop stayed open that day and I did. Yeah, and
• 16:16
  Speaker 9: and I was at school at middle school and all
• 16:18
  Speaker 9: they didn't tell us anything.
• 16:21
  Speaker 26: During the school day. All I know is that most
• 16:24
  Speaker 26: of my friends. A lot of friends, a lot of
• 16:26
  Speaker 26: people kept getting called.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Out from school.
• 16:28
  Speaker 26: And it's like one family, one friend after another, kids
• 16:31
  Speaker 26: just kept getting called out and picked up early. And
• 16:33
  Speaker 26: no one had any idea what was going on until,
• 16:36
  Speaker 26: of course, I got on the school bus. And then,
• 16:38
  Speaker 26: you know, the rumors went crazy on the school bus.
• 16:41
  Speaker 26: And then, of course, I was informed when I got
• 16:43
  Speaker 26: home by my parents, you know, what happened.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: But, yeah, it was it was a strange day for sure. Well,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I'm glad they allowed your parents to kind of let
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: you in on what happened. It's kind of the same
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: thing happened to my son, Taylor, who was in school
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: at the time. His younger brother came home after walking
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: him to school, put the TV on, and got, as
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: a four-year-old, got to watch the second plane fly into
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: the tower. Didn't say anything about it until I got
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: home from the radio station like 5 o'clock that night,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: and he said, Dad, why'd that man fly the airplane
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: into the building? I'm like, oh, boy. You know, but that's,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: you know, a four-year-old's mindset is they're, There has to
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: be a reason. And, you know, you want to talk
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: about testing your parenting skills right then and there. And
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of parents face that then. So
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: thank you for sharing that, James. But, you know, family
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: business that's been doing this since 1961, jcsgold.com. Enjoy the
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: rest of the day commemoratively or however you do it.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: And we'll talk to you again very soon.
• 17:43
  Speaker 11: Absolutely.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Jeff. Joel is on the line with us,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: and Sean Stevens went to get a cup of coffee,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: but he's going to answer my question I left him
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: hanging with in a little bit. Joel, thank you for
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: checking in with us. How are things in Arizona today?
• 18:01
  Speaker 27: Good morning, Joe. Everything's okay. Still staying hot. We're unlike
• 18:05
  Speaker 27: the rest of the United States. We're warm here. But
• 18:10
  Speaker 27: I wanted to thank you for what you do and
• 18:14
  Speaker 27: being out there in Shanksville and representing our voices. And
• 18:20
  Speaker 27: I wanted to say this real quick. People ask about
• 18:22
  Speaker 27: what changed in America. And I think that the younger
• 18:26
  Speaker 27: people don't understand what the American flag stands for and
• 18:31
  Speaker 27: look at it like it's a symbol of hate or
• 18:35
  Speaker 27: it's a symbol of controversy. And all those things that
• 18:39
  Speaker 27: it represents are things of the individual, the fighters, the
• 18:45
  Speaker 27: people that that wanted to make and put freedom forward
• 18:51
  Speaker 27: in America. And it wasn't at a cost of just
• 18:54
  Speaker 27: being free. It was a cost of courage and bravery.
• 18:58
  Speaker 27: And we see that where you're at right now, the
• 19:01
  Speaker 27: Flight 93 and the whole crew. It wasn't just for themselves.
• 19:06
  Speaker 27: It was to save America and to keep the spirit alive,
• 19:13
  Speaker 27: even though they lost their lives.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: It was very brave and.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Well, and often, you know, that's the final end of,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: you know, a brave event is what people would consider
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: a tragedy. I actually was reading a flyer somewhere yesterday
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: afternoon that referred to them as victims of Flight 93.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: And I guess, you know, it depends on how you
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: want to define the event. And now I sound like
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: a leftist professor at UVA, don't I, Joel? But if
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: you look at it as they took a stand against terrorism,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're victims. I think the terrorists are
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: the victims because they were not allowed to do what
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: they were there to do. And certainly you can make
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: the case they're victims of terrorism. But I want to
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: pick up on the American flag thing before I let
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: you go, because in the world, what we've allowed those
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: like Barack Obama, and I'm sorry, I'm not doing this
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: intentionally to be political, but what it was the first
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: thing he did as president, he went around the world
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: and apologized to the world for America. Now, I won't
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: sit here and try to be with my head in
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: the red clay soil of western Pennsylvania here and pretend
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: that we haven't made mistakes and we haven't allowed our
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: allies to behave badly in other countries but we've never
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: gone in and said you have to you have to
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: do this or that what people get mad at us
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: for is we go in and say you can't you
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: know if you want to be our friend you need
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: to stop doing some of these things and one of
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: the things that we need to do better is we
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: need to pick better friends I think, you know, the
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: 20th century American history, we allowed ourselves to choose for
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: reasons that didn't make the, you know, if we're going
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: to be a trading ally with you, you need to
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: do better on human rights because you're allowing your citizens
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: to hate us because you trade with us. And those
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: are the things that I don't think we used our
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: might well enough for. And if you can make any
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: case at all, and I'm only just saying, you know,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: if you squint and look at it with your head
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: cocked to the side, you can say we could have
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: done a better job with that. So let's start now.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: And I think that's what President Trump has been doing
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: is trying to do a better job of telling people
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: you need to live up to our American values if
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: you want to be an American trading partner. Anyway, Joel,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: you have a good morning, sir. Thank you for the call.

  Speaker 24: A message from FEMA and the Ad Council.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Thank you for letting us be of service to you,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: coming to you from the Flight 93 Memorial here in Shanksville.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Like I said, this is one of those places where
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: you realize why all the Scottish people emigrated here. Because
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: when you're here in the morning and it's foggy and
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: it's drizzly and you're like, you know what, this is
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: like a sunny spring day in Dunkirk. This is what
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: they live with. You know, I'm surprised they don't have
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: peat farms here and they're making, well, maybe they are
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: making whiskey. I just don't know where they are. So
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: we were asking Sean Stevenson, I appreciate him hanging on
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: the line with us, from the Foundation for Individual Rights
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: and Freedoms. Sean, I left you with a poser, if
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: you will. The question is, of whether or not these instances,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: these places where the political aspect of speech, the idea
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: that if you speak something and I allow it, that
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: I've somehow endorsed this campaign. And this idea of, you know,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: it really started 25 years ago. If I don't like
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: what you say, rather than debate you, I'm going to
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: kill you. They tried to get the UVA president fired
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: for taking part in a September 11th flag campaign. The
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: first year he was on campus. I mean, this really
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: is what I think you guys have been trying to
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: chronicle through your history at FIRE.
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: So two of the three databases are our campus deplatforming one.
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: That's the one that tracks controversies over events. And the
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: Scholars Under Fire database go back to the beginning of
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: the century. So we've got incidents that go back to 2000, 1998, etc.
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: The student one only currently right now goes back to 2020.
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: We're working on building out older cases on that and
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: probably come out at some point this year or early
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: next year. So it's a very good question that you asked.
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: I mean, there is the potential that I think with
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: media today versus how it was 25 years ago, there's
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: the possibility that, yes, maybe this is just getting more
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: coverage and more attention, but I honestly think it's, I
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: think it's, yes, that might be happening, but I also
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: think the case is fairly strong to say that these
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: incidents are becoming more common and have been for at
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: least the past decade.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Well, and I appreciate you bringing them to attention. Last
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: question for you, Sean. Well, first off, you can find
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: the list at fire.org uh the the list look for
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: your school uh my dad's alma mater cornell and my
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: mom's alma mater pomona both in the 220s uh.
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: My phd alma mater is in the bottom five it's
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: ruckers so don't worry.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness yeah we.
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: Can commiserate over over a lot of things there.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of new jersey residents are like
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: what the and never mind Because I was about to
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: say something controversial. Last question for you. Were there any surprises, drops,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: or increases in the schools this year?
• 31:53
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: So I would note for a few years, actually, Harvard
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: was notoriously or infamously, however you want to phrase it,
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: was last in these rankings. They improved a bit last year.
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: and they saw a pretty significant improvement this year. A
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: lot of this seems to be driven by students' perceptions
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: of their administration improving. I'm not going to draw a
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: causal link, but I would say this all coincides with
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: Harvard standing up more strongly to the efforts of the
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: federal government to reform higher education. So I think the
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: students perhaps are noticing that and giving them a boost
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: for that. On the other end, Yeah, on the other end,
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: I would say there's a couple of schools in Texas
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: that saw some declines. The most notable one, Texas State,
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: but Texas A & M is also a notable one.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Rice. I saw Rice.
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: So these were due more to, I think, kind of
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: preemptively getting ahead of– they don't want to run afoul
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: of– both state or federal level executive orders or policies
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: that have been passed that are, again, attempts to reform
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: higher education.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: So in Texas in particular, you've seen a lot of
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: faculty have to submit their syllabi for review, the syllabi
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: being altered, et cetera. So a number of these things
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: impacted schools there.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate you taking us on a tour of
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: the top 200, I figure it was 250, all the
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: way down to the bottom. schools out there, Sean, and
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: good luck on 2028. We'll talk then. Anything else you
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: guys are working out at FIRE that we should know about?
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: You know, we are constantly putting out things, doing things.
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: We have a couple surveys that are going to go
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: in the field in the fall that we'll release probably
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: early next year. One is going to be a faculty.
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: It's going to be a larger faculty survey than we've
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: ever run before. and then the other one is going
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: to be a survey of international students. We think that's
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: a timely topic to kind of tap into right now.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Without question. Thank you, Sean. I appreciate it. Andy is
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: on the phone. parties. And by the way, that's what
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: T stood for. For those who don't know, T was
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: an acronym. And I say it that way because a
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: lot of people think Tea Party meant we just wanted
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: to reenact the Boston Tea Party. That was a media construct.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: That was Anderson Cooper telling us disgusting things about his
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: sex life. That was cartoons drawn in the New York
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Times of tea partiers that we were all some bug-eyed
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: crazies who wanted to reenact the Boston Tea Party. And
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: it was successful because, you know what? It made people
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: not want to join our group, which was simply on
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: the idea of taxed enough already. You've got billions of dollars.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: The column I just wrote for DailySignal.com about the sales
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: taxes they want to enact here in our flagship state
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: of Virginia. Local sales taxes, local governments able to pile
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: sales taxes on just because they get the giggles out
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: of it because it's more money. And the punchline of
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: the article is how large Virginia's tax collections are. Just
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: like your state's tax collection, billions of dollars in taxes collected.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Why do you need to pass another tax to build schools?
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Next thing you know, you're going to say, hey, we
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: want to have a local sales tax to pay the police.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Or raise money for the sheriff's department. Guys, at what
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: point had you stopped being responsible for that? We're going
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: to have a special tax for your water system. Hey,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: didn't we all vote to agree to let you do that?
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: When did that stop being your responsibility out of the
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: tax money we've already given you? And that's the problem
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: with politicians right now is there's no fire right now
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: for people to just get up on the podium and say, yeah,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: if you're like me, we're going to just protect your
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: rights and make sure that anyone who violates your rights
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: goes to jail. Thank you very much. Vote for me.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: I think that would be a winning campaign, though. I
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: think the majority of Americans, Democrats and Republicans, would be
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: fine with that. The problem is guys like Tallarico and
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Perriello and all the other LOs are out there trying
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: to invent rights, invent entitlements, and call them rights. And
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: so when they go radical, it pushes the Republicans to
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: go radical, farther to the right, farther to calling them out.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: And President Trump does that daily. And what it does
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it succeeds to divide
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: us even more. I was wearing a Yunkin t-shirt when
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: I checked into the hotel last night here in Shanksville
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: or Somerset, Pennsylvania, and a guy gave me a cross-eyed
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: look about it. Obviously not a Republican.
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: Oops.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Oops.
• 38:02
  Speaker 18: In a study, it was found that 33% of 44

  Speaker 18: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 39:08
  Speaker 18: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 39:13
  Speaker 18: I'm Dr.
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: Mitch.
• 39:15
  Speaker 18: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 39:20
  Speaker 18: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 39:24
  Speaker 18: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 39:29
  Speaker 18: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 39:33
  Speaker 18: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 39:40
  Speaker 18: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 39:44
  Speaker 18: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
• 39:47
  Speaker 18: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even

  Speaker 32: Hi everybody, I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy
• 41:01
  Speaker 32: growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
• 41:04
  Speaker 32: with animals. I'm not only in awe of their beauty
• 41:06
  Speaker 32: and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
• 41:09
  Speaker 32: at the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or
• 41:12
  Speaker 32: Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
• 41:15
  Speaker 32: or penguins who travel up to 500 miles to secure
• 41:18
  Speaker 32: food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump
• 41:21
  Speaker 32: allows them to navigate the trees and the wild in
• 41:23
  Speaker 32: search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by
• 41:26
  Speaker 32: our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are our
• 41:29
  Speaker 32: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 41:32
  Speaker 32: They also perform life-saving work every day. Dogs keep us
• 41:35
  Speaker 32: safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom
• 41:38
  Speaker 32: suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when
• 41:41
  Speaker 32: there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have
• 41:44
  Speaker 32: a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society
• 41:47
  Speaker 32: and help those in need. So please join me and
• 41:49
  Speaker 32: American Humane in supporting our heroic working dogs and all
• 41:52
  Speaker 32: the amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go

  Speaker 23: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 42:01
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah?
• 42:02
  Speaker 24: Yeah, he's starting with the woots. And now a speech.
• 42:07
  Speaker 23: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: Heart and brain.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: Who's with me?
• 42:13
  Speaker 24: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 42:15
  Speaker 23: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 42:18
  Speaker 23: somebody call me a ride.
• 42:20
  Speaker 15: Love that guy.
• 42:21
  Speaker 23: Me too.
• 42:21
  Speaker 12: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 42:24
  Speaker 12: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 42:29
  Speaker 20: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 42:31
  Speaker 20: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 42:36
  Speaker 20: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 42:40
  Speaker 20: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 42:42
  Speaker 20: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 42:46
  Speaker 20: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 42:52
  Speaker 20: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 42:55
  Speaker 20: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 42:59
  Speaker 20: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 43:01
  Speaker 20: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 43:04
  Speaker 20: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 43:08
  Speaker 20: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 43:11
  Speaker 20: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 43:15
  Speaker 20: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
• 43:18
  Speaker 20: money by reducing your energy waste, check out ftc.gov slash green.

  Speaker 22: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 43:33
  Speaker 22: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 43:35
  Speaker 22: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 43:41
  Speaker 22: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 43:44
  Speaker 22: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories

• 44:20
  Speaker 1: The move, we've actually moved locations here at the Flight
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: 93 Memorial. Not that that matters anything to you, but
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: that's what happened. Right as I said, hey, Andy is
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: on the phone. So let's pretend, let's pretend like that
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: never happened. And we just find out what Andy has
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: on his mind for us this morning. Good morning, Andy.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: How are you doing, sir? Doing okay.
• 44:41
  Speaker 6: I'm jumping around because I was actually living in Charlottesville.
• 44:46
  Speaker 6: But on a job site at Flint Hill School, when
• 44:52
  Speaker 6: I used to design things, I would also go and
• 44:54
  Speaker 6: actually build them. And it was probably 18 months after
• 44:58
  Speaker 6: that horrible car crash. So Tom Ruth, the young man
• 45:03
  Speaker 6: who I kept safe, well, not the autistic one, but
• 45:08
  Speaker 6: the young man who– I got to raise with a
• 45:12
  Speaker 6: crazy ex-wife. Anyway, he was actually on the job site
• 45:17
  Speaker 6: with me, living in Richmond. And when the earth really
• 45:22
  Speaker 6: did just stop, all the people on the job site
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: were mostly from West Virginia. You know, they were like
• 45:30
  Speaker 6: paving people.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: And so they knew how to get home.
• 45:35
  Speaker 6: And so they told me, you know, how to get
• 45:37
  Speaker 6: out of there because... in the entire Northern Virginia was
• 45:42
  Speaker 6: a parking lot.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. I think George Allen was saying the same thing,
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: that all the Beltway and everything else was.
• 45:47
  Speaker 6: Well, I was listening to him live, and I think
• 45:50
  Speaker 6: the other thing that's interesting about, you know, George Allen,
• 45:53
  Speaker 6: and most of the people in politics, you know, they're
• 45:56
  Speaker 6: funded by the international banking class. The other interesting thing that,
• 46:05
  Speaker 6: for me, by my time in Charlottesville... is that there's
• 46:10
  Speaker 6: a professor, Ed, at the economics department there. He's another
• 46:16
  Speaker 6: one of these plants from, you know, inside the Rothschild banks.
• 46:22
  Speaker 6: And so people just need to be aware of these things.
• 46:26
  Speaker 6: We can return to constitutional money as the basis for it. And,
• 46:31
  Speaker 6: you know, Jefferson Coinshop.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, James' father, you know, James' father. So Father
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: was actually, he.
• 46:40
  Speaker 6: Was my son's tennis coach.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: Let me pick up on that. I want to stick
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: a pin in the constitutional money bid there and talk
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: about something that struck me yesterday. Pardon me. I'm enjoying
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: some schadenfreude right now. A TV station pulled up right
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: behind where we were parked and was still sitting there.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: And I'm watching it saying, hey, how come they haven't
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: been made to move yet? But they just got hut, hut,
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: hut out of where they had set up. TV people.
• 47:09
  Speaker 6: I'm looking at an aerial of you right now. I'm
• 47:12
  Speaker 6: looking at your parking lot there.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, hi, Andy. You've got good satcom there. Anyway, but
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: yesterday while we were doing the show, and I meant
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: to bring this up, I just never had a moment,
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: but you triggered the memory when you said at that
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: moment and everything sort of got weird. Yesterday, four or
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: five times during the show, an airline... because there's a
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: regional airport in Somerset, Pennsylvania. We drive past it from
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: our hotel to the Flight 93 site, and I don't
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: know if that's where they were trying to land. I
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: don't think so, because the intent was not to crash
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: the plane. They actually had a plan. Somebody said that
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: they had some expertise, but the terrorists managed to do
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: that in the battle. But four or five times during
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: the show yesterday, An airliner flew overhead, and it drew
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: my attention. At first, I thought it was like a
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: sound effect, because certainly if you were standing here in
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: this field 25 years ago, why? It was an old
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: strip mine. There really wouldn't have been a reason to
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: be sitting in this field where I am right now.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: But you would have heard this plane just boom. barreling
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: overhead towards the crash site. And it just seemed odd because,
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: as my wife reminded me, for almost two weeks afterwards,
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: there was no air travel. And it was eerily quiet
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: in the air, you know, because you'd walk out. We
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: lived in Buffalo at the time, not too far from
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: Buffalo International Airports. it would be noticeable how little, there
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: was no air traffic around except for maybe a military
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: jet or a military helicopter.
• 49:07
  Speaker 6: So fascinating. So I was actually under the flight line
• 49:12
  Speaker 6: for Dallas Airport. That's where Flint Hill School was. And so,
• 49:17
  Speaker 6: you know, it was, I mean, it really went unnoticed.
• 49:20
  Speaker 6: from being like noisy to not being noisy. The other
• 49:24
  Speaker 6: interesting thing that happened was one of the the the
• 49:29
  Speaker 6: roller operators came over and was was banging on my window.
• 49:35
  Speaker 6: And I was like, you know, I gave him this,
• 49:37
  Speaker 6: you know, like I'm on a.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: Phone, you know, because I had.
• 49:40
  Speaker 6: Like a built-in cell phone in my whatever little Mercedes
• 49:44
  Speaker 6: or whatever it was I was driving in there. And
• 49:47
  Speaker 6: it was fascinating. And he like insisted, and so I
• 49:51
  Speaker 6: rolled it down. And he said, you need to turn
• 49:55
  Speaker 6: your radio on.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: And so I did.
• 49:58
  Speaker 6: And sure enough, you know, we were under attack.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: It was crazy.
• 50:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 50:04
  Speaker 6: And so, you know, the twin towers went down. But
• 50:09
  Speaker 6: there was another building that had actually been pre-wired. I
• 50:13
  Speaker 6: don't know if you ever heard about that.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: But there's an entity.
• 50:16
  Speaker 6: Called the Architects and Engineers for, like, truth about 9-11.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: I've seen their websites. Here's the interesting thing about some
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: of the stuff that they say. They leave out the
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: architect who built the World Trade Center tower. So growing
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: up in New York, I have— I have an interesting
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: view of this. And being somewhat of a nerdy kid,
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: I would do things like watch PBS. And in the 70s,
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: because they really started building the World Trade Center towers
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: in the 60s, and late 60s, and the excavations and
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: all of that. And then the buildup went through most
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: of the early to mid 70s. And If you watched it,
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: somewhere there's a time lapse. It looks like a blue
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: mushroom growing. Because what they would do is they built
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: it in an exoskeleton. So it's a center post. All
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: the elevators and everything were basically the center support. And
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: then the external weight was held by that grating that
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: we all see in the pictures from September 11th. That
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: was the exoskeleton. And it really was how the floors
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: were held up there. But the architect during this PBS
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: program talked about, you know, how the design worked. And
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: he said, and we even have to, in a city
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: like New York, factor in what's going to have to
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: happen when we tear the building down. He said, New
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: York City code requires you to have engineering plans on
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: hand and ready for construction. you know, the eventuality that
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: the building has to be torn down. And he actually
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: had a model of what was going to happen if
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: they had to tear the building down. He said, you
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: blow out the middle elevator shafts and then the rest
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: of the building just kind of comes down inside the exoskeleton,
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: as it were, which is exactly what happened after, you know,
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: not in a controlled fashion as it would be with
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: a demolition. But I've seen that site about C4 and
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: there's Thermacor wiring and things like that in the building.
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: Some of that actually existed because of the terror attack
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: in 1994. And they had to make sure that there
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: were ways to close off parts of the buildings, Andy.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: But good stuff. And those sites are out there. Absolutely. Absolutely.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: with it hanging there.
• 52:43
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, there's just a lot of evil out
• 52:46
  Speaker 6: there and we just need to stay connected because we're winning.
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: My name is Bobby. I'm a veteran and lost my
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: leg to a roadside bomb.
• 52:56
  Speaker 13: My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a
• 52:58
  Speaker 13: weightlifting champion.
• 53:00
  Speaker 23: I'm Sam.
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: I'm a veteran.
• 53:02
  Speaker 23: My victory was finding a career I can be proud
• 53:04
