Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: I'm more mega now make America great again than I've
- 0:08Speaker 1: ever been.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
- 0:12Speaker 2: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
- 0:35Speaker 1: Blessings of a Tedstee across your forehead there. I heard
- 0:41Speaker 1: somebody turn a phrase yesterday. Somebody got his smirk smacked
- 0:46Speaker 1: off his face like he was hit with a 2x4.
- 0:49Speaker 1: I don't know what made me think of that this
- 0:52Speaker 1: Tedstee morning, but the day where we set it aside
- 0:55Speaker 1: and we really.
- 0:57Speaker 1: Thematically every day, I am just in awe of all
- 1:01Speaker 1: the things God has gifted you to do and how
- 1:04Speaker 1: you go and apply those things to your community. And
- 1:08Speaker 1: every now and then I get a call from somebody
- 1:10Speaker 1: who says, I don't know what it is God has
- 1:13Speaker 1: gifted me to do. I'm struggling with that. And there
- 1:17Speaker 1: are some steps. It involves friends and family and talking
- 1:20Speaker 1: about and really taking a hard look at the stuff
- 1:24Speaker 1: you always like to do. Sometimes it's It isn't even
- 1:27Speaker 1: a lucrative profession. I bring this up frequently. A good
- 1:30Speaker 1: friend of mine ran all of the extracurricular activities for
- 1:36Speaker 1: his church, sports leagues and retreats and everything else. That's
- 1:42Speaker 1: not going to pay you a lot of money. So
- 1:44Speaker 1: he found a job that he could do that made
- 1:47Speaker 1: him enough money to pay his bills and keep him
- 1:50Speaker 1: in good comfort, but didn't require him all the time
- 1:54Speaker 1: that would be necessary for some of those other pursuits.
- 2:00Speaker 1: So he could spend the time on the church groups
- 2:05Speaker 1: and the retreats and whatnot. That's all it is, is
- 2:08Speaker 1: finding out the thing that you have to do. Whether
- 2:14Speaker 1: it's organizing, organizing is a thing. We were talking about
- 2:20Speaker 1: my dad the other day, Sealy, out there with the
- 2:24Speaker 1: Mesa Verde hemp. We discovered that both our dads were Cornellians.
- 2:30Speaker 1: And believe it or not, Sealy, I went and I
- 2:34Speaker 1: looked to see if I could figure out what year,
- 2:37Speaker 1: but it's hard. I think it's 57, but School of Hotelmen,
- 2:43Speaker 1: they don't list that kind of stuff, apparently.
- 2:47Speaker 4: But.
- 2:53Speaker 1: His gift was organizing events. I mean, he could put
- 2:56Speaker 1: an event together that raised tons of money. I was
- 3:00Speaker 1: just thinking about that. Mac was out here for a
- 3:02Speaker 1: charity golf tournament. That's the kind of stuff my dad
- 3:05Speaker 1: lived for, raising money for golf. Scholarship funds and things
- 3:12Speaker 1: like that, helping manage them is great. But is that
- 3:16Speaker 1: something you know? I'm a carpenter. Some people do. I mean,
- 3:20Speaker 1: it's a soft skill. That's the stuff you got to
- 3:23Speaker 1: look for.
- 3:23Speaker 5: U.S.
- 3:24Speaker 1: Supreme Court on our first things this morning is going
- 3:28Speaker 1: to allow the administration to continue deporting people to countries
- 3:32Speaker 1: other than their home country while the court continues to
- 3:36Speaker 1: go through the filings to see if the process is constitutional.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Trump administration is considering adding a citizenship and work authorization
- 3:46Speaker 1: question to next year's federal 1040 tax return. Meanwhile, Florida
- 3:55Speaker 1: says they are cracking down. Apparently, illegal immigrants have been
- 3:59Speaker 1: getting taxpayer-funded trade and career school educations. They're expanding the
- 4:03Speaker 1: state's restriction on public education as officials prioritize citizens and
- 4:09Speaker 1: legal residents for workforce training. Florida State Board of Ed
- 4:13Speaker 1: approved the rule requiring applicants to prove U.S.
- 4:18Speaker 3: Citizenship.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Be interesting to see if that considerably impacts enrollment or not.
- 4:26Speaker 1: President Trump met with a bunch of A.I. mucky mucks
- 4:30Speaker 1: at the Oval Office, came out with a decree in
- 4:33Speaker 1: which they all swore that they would be self-policing and
- 4:37Speaker 1: submit themselves to an outside police. arbitrator to check on
- 4:41Speaker 1: their efforts and such. But they also helped, I guess,
- 4:45Speaker 1: the president announce America.gov. America.gov is an artificial intelligence-powered web
- 4:52Speaker 1: portal to give Americans an easy way to search through
- 4:56Speaker 1: their government. And if you need AI to search through
- 5:00Speaker 1: the government, it should tell you a lot about the government.
- 5:04Speaker 1: You don't know Jack Smith, former special prosecutor and special counsel,
- 5:09Speaker 1: was on the stand defending himself and his prosecutions of
- 5:13Speaker 1: President Trump. Republicans pushed for Smith to be prosecuted, not
- 5:19Speaker 1: just give testimony. Democrats on the committee rallied to Smith's defense,
- 5:25Speaker 1: asking him puffball questions about how hard it is to
- 5:29Speaker 1: work in such a difficult environment. The Trump administration has
- 5:36Speaker 1: withdrawn the United States from a top globalist anti-corruption watchdog organization.
- 5:43Speaker 1: The Council of Europe said Tuesday the U.S. formally notified
- 5:46Speaker 1: it a day earlier that it would leave the Group
- 5:49Speaker 1: of States Against Corruption, or GRECO. Only two other countries
- 5:55Speaker 1: have ever left GRECO, Russia and Belarus. And those are
- 6:01Speaker 1: our first things this morning here on the Talk Media Network.
- 6:08Speaker 6: Hi, this is Bud Foster, co-host of Foster and Friends
- 6:11Speaker 6: and former Virginia Tech football coach. When I brought the
- 6:14Speaker 6: famed lunch pail to our team, it symbolized teamwork. The

- 8:04Speaker 11: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 11: I'm Dr.
- 8:13Speaker 4: Mitch.
- 8:14Speaker 11: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
- 8:20Speaker 11: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 8:24Speaker 11: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 8:28Speaker 11: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 8:32Speaker 11: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
- 8:39Speaker 11: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
- 8:43Speaker 11: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
- 8:47Speaker 11: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
- 8:52Speaker 11: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
- 8:57Speaker 11: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
- 9:02Speaker 12: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
- 9:05Speaker 12: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
- 9:10Speaker 12: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
- 9:13Speaker 12: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
- 9:17Speaker 12: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
- 9:21Speaker 12: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
- 9:25Speaker 12: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
- 9:29Speaker 12: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
- 9:33Speaker 12: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
- 9:37Speaker 12: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
- 9:42Speaker 12: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
- 9:46Speaker 12: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
- 9:53Speaker 12: Share this information with your friends and family.
- 9:58Speaker 4: Hi, everybody.
- 9:59Speaker 3: I'm Jack Hanna.
- 10:00Speaker 13: Since I was a boy growing up on a farm
- 10:01Speaker 13: in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only
- 10:05Speaker 13: in awe of their beauty and kindness, but also their
- 10:07Speaker 13: tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds who gather
- 10:10Speaker 13: supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes who work hard
- 10:13Speaker 13: to provide for their young. Or penguins, who travel up
- 10:16Speaker 13: to 500 miles to secure food for their families. Or
- 10:19Speaker 13: bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them to navigate the
- 10:21Speaker 13: trees and the wild in search of fruit. This remarkable
- 10:24Speaker 13: work ethic is shared by our best friends, the canines.
- 10:28Speaker 13: We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home, but
- 10:30Speaker 13: because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving work
- 10:34Speaker 13: every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort
- 10:36Speaker 13: returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They work
- 10:39Speaker 13: with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in their
- 10:42Speaker 13: blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly trained
- 10:45Speaker 13: roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
- 10:48Speaker 13: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
- 10:50Speaker 13: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
- 10:53Speaker 13: planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
- 10:59Speaker 14: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
- 11:01Speaker 9: Oh, yeah?
- 11:01Speaker 3: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 11:04Speaker 14: And now a speech.
- 11:07Speaker 8: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 11:10Speaker 3: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 14: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
- 11:15Speaker 14: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
- 11:18Speaker 14: call me a ride. Love that guy.
- 11:20Speaker 15: Me too.
- 11:21Speaker 16: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 11:24Speaker 16: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 11:29Speaker 7: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 11:31Speaker 7: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 11:35Speaker 7: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
- 11:39Speaker 7: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 11:42Speaker 7: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
- 11:46Speaker 7: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
- 11:51Speaker 7: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
- 11:54Speaker 7: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
- 11:58Speaker 7: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 12:00Speaker 7: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
- 12:04Speaker 7: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 12:08Speaker 7: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 12:11Speaker 7: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
- 12:14Speaker 7: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
- 12:18Speaker 7: money by reducing your energy waste, check out ftc.gov slash green.
- 12:24Speaker 7: A tip from the Federal Trade Commission. the nation's consumer
- 12:27Speaker 7: protection agency.
- 12:29Speaker 17: As a family member or friend, you may be the
- 12:32Speaker 17: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
- 12:35Speaker 17: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
- 12:40Speaker 17: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
- 12:44Speaker 17: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
- 12:49Speaker 17: at maketheconnection.net and learn how you can support the veterans
- 12:53Speaker 17: in your life. Treatment works. Recovery is possible.
- 13:11Speaker 2: We could tell you what 6-7 means. Where's the fun
- 13:14Speaker 2: in that? First thing today by Joe Thomas on the
- 13:17Speaker 2: Talk Media Network.
- 13:20Speaker 1: On this Tedstee morning show, We've had some fun and
- 13:24Speaker 1: frolic at other people's expenses.
- 13:26Speaker 3: Dr.
- 13:26Speaker 1: Schadenfreude is in the house. Lay down on the couch
- 13:30Speaker 1: and tell me why you want to see bad things
- 13:32Speaker 1: happen to someone else's mother.
- 13:35Speaker 3: No, I'm sorry.
- 13:36Speaker 1: No, that's the Internet that engages in that. We're above that.
- 13:41Speaker 1: We're old school social media. Earlier, we were telling you
- 13:46Speaker 1: that the Iranian government Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, this militia,
- 13:53Speaker 1: this thug squad that is specifically the police department of
- 14:02Speaker 1: the Ayatollah and his mullahs in Iran. They're responsible to
- 14:08Speaker 1: no citizens. No body cams, none of that on these guys.
- 14:16Speaker 1: They sent a letter to the American newsrooms. Apologies, they
- 14:21Speaker 1: missed mine. But the Associated Press, New York Times, all
- 14:26Speaker 1: these guys just sopped this stuff up. This will go
- 14:29Speaker 1: right on the Ted Kaczynski page of the New York Times.
- 14:35Speaker 1: Let's publish the manifesto. And the IRGC sent this open
- 14:42Speaker 1: letter like this, a group that actually works to defend
- 14:46Speaker 1: the greatest batch of theocrats out there. But they send
- 14:51Speaker 1: this letter trying to get American voters to vote for Democrats.
- 14:59Speaker 1: And I think if you're a Republican, you tell me
- 15:02Speaker 1: you're not. And everyone's campaign is different. This is why
- 15:07Speaker 1: I only campaign for your listenership every morning. I'm in
- 15:11Speaker 1: a constant campaign. I never get an election night celebration.
- 15:19Speaker 1: I know, poor, poor, pitiful me. So imagine for a
- 15:22Speaker 1: second you're a Republican running against a Democrat, and you
- 15:26Speaker 1: read that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Iranian thug squad,
- 15:36Speaker 1: has sent a letter to Americans in tantamount to endorsing you.
- 15:42Speaker 1: So the IRGC letter says, in part, you are the
- 15:48Speaker 1: ones who empower, with your votes, those who make decisions
- 15:53Speaker 1: in your name. Calling on people to vote for Democrats
- 15:57Speaker 1: so that Donald Trump gets impeached, gets removed from office. And,
- 16:04Speaker 1: you know, I had to think, you know, we were
- 16:06Speaker 1: having some fun at the idea of a political action committee.
- 16:10Speaker 1: You know, like all these Planned Parenthood and the IRGC
- 16:16Speaker 1: and Southern Poverty Law Center and Hamas. I mean, they
- 16:20Speaker 1: all have political action committees. And, you know, we were
- 16:29Speaker 1: having some fun at the idea of what that ad
- 16:36Speaker 1: would sound like. And Mike writes in, Joe, you missed
- 16:40Speaker 1: the point. I mean, the IRGC letter itself reads like
- 16:45Speaker 1: one of those dramatic political action committee.
- 16:56Speaker 3: Letters.
- 16:57Speaker 1: If you look at the whole letter, and like I said,
- 16:59Speaker 1: I Please, I'm not on the IRGC mailing list. And
- 17:13Speaker 1: I'm not going to read the IRGC's letter. But is
- 17:19Speaker 1: it too far to believe, you know, in a world
- 17:22Speaker 1: where Hamas has been rebranded as a marginalized community? that
- 17:28Speaker 1: the IRGC political action committee wouldn't have contributors. But if
- 17:33Speaker 1: you're a Republican, do you use this against your opponent?
- 17:39Speaker 1: My opponent is endorsed by the IRGC. The IRGC hangs
- 17:45Speaker 1: people in town square for speaking out against the government.
- 17:48Speaker 1: My opponent is against speaking out against the government. And
- 17:53Speaker 1: it's even more fun if they were on the J6 committee.
- 17:56Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
- 17:58Speaker 1: That's like a double point score. My opponent was on
- 18:00Speaker 1: the January 6th committee, or my opponent said nice things
- 18:04Speaker 1: about the January 6th committee and has been endorsed tacitly
- 18:08Speaker 1: by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
- 18:12Speaker 3: This year, vote Republican. I mean, I would.
- 18:18Speaker 1: I don't think it's dirty pool to make the connection that,
- 18:22Speaker 1: you know, pick the Democrat. Kathy Hochul is endorsed by
- 18:29Speaker 1: or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, or certainly, give me the names of
- 18:36Speaker 1: the congresspeople from New York City that Zafod Mad Money endorsed,
- 18:43Speaker 1: all these socialists, Abdul El-Sayed. Where are the ads saying
- 18:50Speaker 1: Abdul El-Sayed endorsed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps who
- 18:54Speaker 1: hangs people in town square for speaking out against the government?
- 19:03Speaker 1: It's in the news stories and more we're learning about
- 19:05Speaker 1: this Dubai air situation. Now, apparently, and it's depending on
- 19:11Speaker 1: who you're getting the sources from. Bob in Moscow says
- 19:14Speaker 1: Russian news says the Israelis say that one of the
- 19:20Speaker 1: pilots was trying to crash this air Dubai airliner that
- 19:30Speaker 1: he was flying. He was one of the pilots that
- 19:39Speaker 1: got into a fight and a co-pilot reportedly Omani National
- 19:50Speaker 1: who had worked for the airline for about a year
- 19:52Speaker 1: stabbed the pilot and tried to crash the plane before
- 19:57Speaker 1: passengers subdued him. Israeli security establishment including the IDF Mossad
- 20:06Speaker 1: and Shin Bet increasingly believes the incident was an attempted
- 20:12Speaker 1: terrorist attack by the Zomanian National. Fly Dubai said all
- 20:18Speaker 1: passengers are safe and accounted for. Images appear to show
- 20:22Speaker 1: damage to the aircraft's rear rudder, with part of it
- 20:25Speaker 1: missing from a vertical stabilizer. Don't know how that happened,
- 20:30Speaker 1: if this was all going on in the cockpit, unless
- 20:32Speaker 1: some radical maneuvers had to be taken for us. Israeli
- 20:37Speaker 1: security forces, including the IDF, Mossad, and Shin Bet, again,
- 20:42Speaker 1: coming out saying this morning that they believe that this
- 20:45Speaker 1: pilot was inserted into the airline to be some one
- 20:50Speaker 1: of that kind of sleeper.
- 20:54Speaker 3: Situations.
- 20:55Speaker 1: And understanding, and again, I go back to my phrase,
- 21:00Speaker 1: radical Islamist. We were queried earlier. I talk about this
- 21:07Speaker 1: combat with Iran being President Trump trying to end the
- 21:13Speaker 1: oldest war in United States history, connecting it back to
- 21:18Speaker 1: the Barbary pirates and somebody, you know, again, and I
- 21:21Speaker 1: get it all the time. You know, they weren't, you know,
- 21:24Speaker 1: they were from Tripoli. And I, yeah, no, I understand that.
- 21:28Speaker 1: But they were radical Islamists. Read Jefferson's notes. Adams said,
- 21:34Speaker 1: maybe if we pay them off, they'll stop. And 240
- 21:37Speaker 1: years of trying to get them to stop by paying
- 21:40Speaker 1: them off has finally worn on at least one man
- 21:43Speaker 1: in Washington. And President Trump decided to do something about it.
- 21:50Speaker 1: But that's not the Muslim guy that lives down the
- 21:53Speaker 1: street from you. It's radical Islam that says you lie
- 21:58Speaker 1: to the infidels.
- 22:01Speaker 10: Let's see, if something costs less, but people are happier
- 22:05Speaker 10: with it, that sounds like something to look into. And
- 22:07Speaker 10: that is MediShare. Maybe you've heard switching to MediShare to
- 22:10Speaker 10: pay for health care can save many families up to
- 22:13Speaker 10: $ 500 a month. And that is huge. But it's also
- 22:16Speaker 10: true that people are way more satisfied after making the switch, too.
- 22:19Speaker 10: The member satisfaction rate for MediShare is double that of
- 22:23Speaker 10: the typical health insurance plan.
- 22:25Speaker 2: Double.
- 22:25Speaker 10: MediShare works too. It's been around for 30 years. Members
- 22:28Speaker 10: have shared more than $ 5 billion of each other's bills.
- 22:32Speaker 10: People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network.
- 22:35Speaker 10: So yeah, really, you can save a ton and like
- 22:37Speaker 10: it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
- 22:40Speaker 10: of your healthcare.
- 22:41Speaker 3: So if you're.
- 22:41Speaker 10: Self-employed or part of the gig economy, or you just

- 24:03Speaker 11: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 24:07Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 24:12Speaker 11: I'm Dr.
- 24:13Speaker 3: Mitch.
- 24:14Speaker 11: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
- 24:19Speaker 11: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 24:24Speaker 11: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 24:28Speaker 11: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 24:32Speaker 11: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
- 24:39Speaker 11: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
- 24:43Speaker 11: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
- 24:46Speaker 11: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
- 24:52Speaker 11: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
- 24:57Speaker 11: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.

- 25:53Speaker 14: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
- 25:56Speaker 1: Oh, yeah?
- 25:57Speaker 3: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 25:59Speaker 18: And now a speech.
- 26:02Speaker 8: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 26:06Speaker 3: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
- 26:08Speaker 14: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
- 26:11Speaker 14: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
- 26:14Speaker 14: call me a ride. Love that guy.
- 26:16Speaker 15: Me too.
- 26:17Speaker 16: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 26:19Speaker 16: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 26:23Speaker 7: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 26:26Speaker 7: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 26:30Speaker 7: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills too.
- 26:34Speaker 7: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 26:37Speaker 7: energy assessment. Your utility company can help. Or you can
- 26:40Speaker 7: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
- 26:46Speaker 7: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
- 26:49Speaker 7: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
- 26:53Speaker 7: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 26:55Speaker 7: new appliance. Look for the ENERGY STAR logo and read
- 26:59Speaker 7: the ENERGY GUIDE label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 27:02Speaker 7: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 27:05Speaker 7: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
- 27:09Speaker 7: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

- 28:12Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 28:16Speaker 13: See him on the radio.
- 28:18Speaker 5: See him on the news. See him on the TV.
- 28:23Speaker 2: Hands in the woods.
- 28:23Speaker 1: Welcome to his nightmare.
- 28:27Speaker 15: He's been cut the bill.
- 28:33Speaker 1: This email comes in from Mike, and I appreciate this
- 28:37Speaker 1: because this is existentially the question that consumes us since 1994. And,
- 28:42Speaker 1: you know, Mike, I appreciate you tuning in out in
- 28:50Speaker 1: the Gulf Shores down in Alabama, WHEP 1310 down there. Joe,
- 28:59Speaker 1: aren't they all radical Islamists?
- 29:05Speaker 3: Broke my bell.
- 29:07Speaker 1: Yes, that is the question that consumes us, is how
- 29:11Speaker 1: do you know who is, because I will get as
- 29:15Speaker 1: many contacts from Muslim members of my community as there are. Texas,
- 29:22Speaker 1: consumed right now with building of mosques. Why is that?
- 29:27Speaker 1: Is it political? Is it trying to flip the state? 200,
- 29:34Speaker 1: it was reportdailysignal.com, you know. Medeiros covering the stories of
- 29:42Speaker 1: these mosque building mania out in Texas. But we go
- 29:51Speaker 1: to a dangerous place if we just take somebody's ethnicity
- 29:56Speaker 1: and And I've said it about the black community that
- 30:00Speaker 1: sees a white man as an existential threat. We have to,
- 30:06Speaker 1: at some point, if we're going to be a civil society,
- 30:10Speaker 1: we have to understand that there are several truisms about
- 30:18Speaker 1: a free country, a liberty country like ours. Number one,
- 30:24Speaker 1: first and foremost— that you cannot punish somebody for something
- 30:32Speaker 1: they haven't done. And the uncomfortable bit of that is
- 30:37Speaker 1: that requires the bad thing to actually happen. You can't
- 30:43Speaker 1: arrest somebody until they actually have robbed your house. You
- 30:47Speaker 1: can't arrest somebody until they've actually assaulted you. This is
- 30:53Speaker 1: why I've said before, and this is not a slag joke,
- 30:57Speaker 1: to the police, you and I, we are the first
- 31:06Speaker 1: responders when the metaphorical excrement hits the air handler. We're
- 31:19Speaker 1: the ones who are supposed to do something. This is
- 31:21Speaker 1: why I go to the Flight 93 memorial as frequently
- 31:25Speaker 1: as I have on the anniversary of September 11th, because
- 31:29Speaker 1: those passengers realized that there wasn't, unless an F-16 got there,
- 31:35Speaker 1: there was no other first responder coming. So how do
- 31:46Speaker 1: you know the difference between a radical Islamist and your
- 31:50Speaker 1: Muslim neighbor? You don't until they do something until they
- 31:57Speaker 1: try to cause an event, cause some problem. Or we
- 32:06Speaker 1: sign off on taking the Constitution, putting it in a
- 32:10Speaker 1: display case at the Smithsonian and coming up with something
- 32:13Speaker 1: more authoritarian. Probably going to be even more authoritarian than
- 32:19Speaker 1: we are technically living under now. And I know that's
- 32:24Speaker 1: not because in my business, there are things, you know,
- 32:29Speaker 1: it's gold and guns and grab the Muslims and protect. No,
- 32:36Speaker 1: it's not how I roll because I will get phone
- 32:39Speaker 1: calls from non-radical Muslims all the time saying, what's going on?
- 32:46Speaker 1: Zutty Jasser's whole efforts. at the American Islamic Forum for
- 32:52Speaker 1: Democracy and saying very clearly that the Muslim faith has
- 32:57Speaker 1: to have a purging of this idea that lying and
- 33:03Speaker 1: killing is godly. Because first, truism, radical Islamists.
- 33:18Speaker 3: Kill people.
- 33:21Speaker 1: More Muslims than they do Christians because you're a Sunni
- 33:27Speaker 1: and I'm a Shia and you're a Kurd. And that
- 33:32Speaker 1: is existentially true. So what's the fix? The fix is self-defense.
- 33:42Speaker 1: The fix is when something goes down, you have to
- 33:46Speaker 1: be prepared to do something about it. Like the pilot
- 33:50Speaker 1: on this Dubai airplane. You know, he didn't just sit
- 33:53Speaker 1: there and say, oh, I hope the authorities come soon.
- 33:56Speaker 1: Fought back and landed the plane. Because otherwise we are
- 34:04Speaker 1: going to again become that country that we aren't supposed
- 34:09Speaker 1: to be, that country of rounding people up and putting
- 34:12Speaker 1: them in concentration camps because of their ethnicity. saying maybe
- 34:20Speaker 1: we should take the freedom of religion out of.
- 34:26Speaker 1: And then what happens to the Bill of Rights once
- 34:29Speaker 1: we've taken the First Amendment out because it makes us
- 34:35Speaker 1: more perilously in danger of a terrorist attack? I'd rather
- 34:42Speaker 1: have the freedoms we have even if we need to
- 34:48Speaker 1: Get them back in their fullestness. Their fulsomeness.
- 34:53Speaker 3: Sorry.
- 35:00Speaker 1: That's the hard bit about being an American. It's easy
- 35:05Speaker 1: to be Iranian. Just do what the Ayatollah says. Keep
- 35:09Speaker 1: your head down.
- 35:10Speaker 3: Don't die. Don't die.
- 35:14Speaker 1: But when the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps tacitly endorses every
- 35:19Speaker 1: candidate from Abdul El-Sayed through James Tallarico to John Ossoff
- 35:35Speaker 1: all the way around the country, you have to make
- 35:39Speaker 1: hay of this. This is a thug squad. that is
- 35:44Speaker 1: at the behest of no one else but the king,
- 35:47Speaker 1: his knights of the realm, and they ride out and
- 35:52Speaker 1: they hang people for speaking out against the government. They
- 35:57Speaker 1: hang people for being gay. They hang people for not
- 36:02Speaker 1: covering themselves up. And these are the folks that have
- 36:13Speaker 1: endorsed your American Democratic Party.
- 36:15Speaker 6: In Iran, we don't have homosexuals like in your country.
- 36:24Speaker 1: That's because the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps comes in and says, hey, hey, hey,
- 36:30Speaker 1: we saw what you were doing. And so this becomes,
- 36:40Speaker 1: I think, the biggest campaign issue. I know people have
- 36:43Speaker 1: brushed it off. People are like, oh, it's just the...
- 36:46Speaker 1: These are the people who have been firing the missiles
- 36:48Speaker 1: into the Strait of Hormuz. These are the people who
- 36:52Speaker 1: are still... Their first move after the missile strike started
- 36:57Speaker 1: was to go to the region along the Strait of
- 37:00Speaker 1: Hormuz and take it over, occupy this part of the country.
- 37:07Speaker 1: There are, believe it or not, less human civil rights
- 37:11Speaker 1: going on along the Strait of Hormuz in Iran right
- 37:14Speaker 1: now than there are in the rest of the country
- 37:16Speaker 1: because the thug squad has moved in there and taken
- 37:19Speaker 1: it over. This would be ostensibly the SS taking over
- 37:28Speaker 1: Normandy Beach because they found out that the U.S. and
- 37:31Speaker 1: British were going to land there, the Allies were coming.
- 37:39Speaker 1: So they're the ones who are shooting at the ships
- 37:41Speaker 1: off the Strait of Hormuz. They're the ones who are
- 37:43Speaker 1: firing missiles into Oman and to Qatar and to the Emirates.
- 37:50Speaker 1: This is why I've said you get these mixed messages
- 37:53Speaker 1: out of Iran where some folks sound like they want
- 37:57Speaker 1: a deal and then the IRGC says.
- 38:00Speaker 3: Kill them all.
- 38:01Speaker 14: In 2024, the American Heart Association celebrates 100 years of
- 38:05Speaker 14: life-saving service as the world's leading nonprofit organization focused on
- 38:09Speaker 14: heart and brain health. Heart disease still kills more people
- 38:13Speaker 14: in the United States each year than all types of
- 38:15Speaker 14: cancer combined, but more than half of Americans are unaware
- 38:18Speaker 14: of this fact, according to a recent Harris Poll survey
- 38:21Speaker 14: conducted for the American Heart Association. However, the majority of
- 38:25Speaker 14: heart disease is preventable, New research has improved the prevention, diagnosis,
- 38:30Speaker 14: and treatment of heart disease and its risk factors. Efforts
- 38:33Speaker 14: led by the American Heart Association have reduced deaths from
- 38:36Speaker 14: heart disease by half over the past century and helped

- 40:05Speaker 15: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
- 40:09Speaker 15: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.

- 40:57Speaker 18: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
- 41:03Speaker 18: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
- 41:08Speaker 18: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
- 41:12Speaker 18: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
- 41:15Speaker 18: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
- 41:21Speaker 18: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
- 41:24Speaker 18: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
- 41:27Speaker 18: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
- 41:32Speaker 18: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
- 41:36Speaker 18: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.

- 45:54Speaker 1: I don't remember off the top of my head. So,
- 45:56Speaker 1: you know, get yourself on to that. Like I said,
- 46:00Speaker 1: just got to be in it to win it.
- 46:01Speaker 3: More chances.
- 46:04Speaker 1: Drawings coming up tomorrow morning as we anoint some of
- 46:07Speaker 1: the folks.
- 46:08Speaker 3: Who are there about.
- 46:12Speaker 1: The idea of being first responder. Joe, don't you think
- 46:18Speaker 1: that that's a little dismissive of our police officers? Our
- 46:22Speaker 1: police officers do great work. I thought you were a
- 46:25Speaker 1: conservative talk show host. Aren't all conservative talk show hosts
- 46:29Speaker 1: supposed to take the side of police.
- 46:31Speaker 3: No matter what? Well, I do. I do. Because here's
- 46:35Speaker 3: the thing.
- 46:35Speaker 1: I want the law enforcement officer to have every tool
- 46:39Speaker 1: necessary to successfully find the people who have violated other
- 46:44Speaker 1: citizens' rights. And one of those is autonomy, but the
- 46:48Speaker 1: other is actual clarity as to what those laws are.
- 46:52Speaker 1: I mean, say what you will about the IRGC. They
- 46:57Speaker 1: know what the laws are there.
- 46:59Speaker 3: And when they hang.
- 47:01Speaker 1: dissidents in the town square and the hundreds of thousands
- 47:06Speaker 1: they know that the law says that's what they're supposed
- 47:08Speaker 1: to do and that's what needs to be changed good
- 47:12Speaker 1: morning you're on the air with joe first thing this
- 47:14Speaker 1: morning who's this.
- 47:16Speaker 5: And i missed it wide right.
- 47:18Speaker 3: You missed it why we're not true which which is.
- 47:22Speaker 5: It joe i didn't i never played football.
- 47:27Speaker 3: Okay, you've lost me.
- 47:29Speaker 5: I thought it was way, way too dangerous. But one
- 47:33Speaker 5: of the things that I bumped into at the Mises
- 47:37Speaker 5: Institute is a family whose son is actually kicking for
- 47:41Speaker 5: the Colts now.
- 47:42Speaker 12: Oh, wow.
- 47:43Speaker 1: So he's off to England to take on the Commies.
- 47:46Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm listening to you all talk about you and Joe.
- 47:50Speaker 5: I mean, you and Joe. our friend up there, he's
- 47:55Speaker 5: just outside of Orlando.
- 47:56Speaker 3: Oh, Mac. Yeah. Mac, our sports director. Yeah.
- 48:00Speaker 5: And it's, I mean, it's fascinating to see this thing going,
- 48:03Speaker 5: going across the, the way the other really cool thing.
- 48:08Speaker 5: I think the most amazing thing I got to rebuild
- 48:11Speaker 5: was actually a, a football field that was also a
- 48:14Speaker 5: track and field that was being upgraded to, and it
- 48:18Speaker 5: was in Gulf Shores, right? So, And all we needed
- 48:21Speaker 5: to do to convert it was take something that was
- 48:25Speaker 5: really poorly built and turn it into something that was
- 48:30Speaker 5: amazingly well built.
- 48:32Speaker 7: Sure.
- 48:32Speaker 5: And it was kind of this fascinating thing that I
- 48:36Speaker 5: got to do. Did it by airplane. I drove my
- 48:39Speaker 5: little Sequoia down to Pensacola, I guess it was. And,
- 48:45Speaker 5: you know. parked it there and would fly back and forth.
- 48:49Speaker 5: And so that actually rebuilt something while I was living
- 48:54Speaker 5: with the Hegelian Marxists.
- 48:56Speaker 1: When you went into the school, was it a public
- 48:59Speaker 1: school that had just fallen into disrepair because of, you know,
- 49:03Speaker 1: it's a public school and budget priorities come and go?
- 49:06Speaker 5: There was a lady who was the benefactor for the
- 49:11Speaker 5: athletic facility. And it's when you... build something to host
- 49:18Speaker 5: high school events it's a whole lot different. It's a
- 49:22Speaker 5: different set of rules than when you build something for collegiate. And,
- 49:29Speaker 5: you know, it was just kind of fun to have
- 49:31Speaker 5: my experience. And I had a general contractor's license in Alabama.
- 49:40Speaker 5: And so I could, you know, I could build it
- 49:42Speaker 5: on just about anything there. And this thing popped up
- 49:48Speaker 5: for a very brief period of time. I was on
- 49:52Speaker 5: the executive committee of a little second street gallery downtown Charlottesville.
- 49:58Speaker 5: And if you've ever played, that's like a great collection
- 50:02Speaker 5: of like super nutty people.
- 50:05Speaker 1: In Charlottesville, that shocks me to think. I don't know
- 50:08Speaker 1: how we left Gulf Shores and went to Charlottesville, but
- 50:11Speaker 1: I missed my boarding announcements.
- 50:13Speaker 5: I lived in Charlottesville for 40-plus years.
- 50:16Speaker 1: Oh, no, I know you did. I know you did that, Andy.
- 50:18Speaker 1: That's how you and I came to be a listener
- 50:22Speaker 1: to the program.
- 50:22Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I mean, I just, you know, you were
- 50:24Speaker 5: the trusted person, and you led me to Robert Tracy,
- 50:29Speaker 5: and I believe nothing was ever done about any of
- 50:32Speaker 5: that stuff.
- 50:33Speaker 3: Well, you know, it goes back to, you know, it's
- 50:36Speaker 3: it's sad.
- 50:38Speaker 1: And this goes into some of the things the leftists,
- 50:41Speaker 1: the Marxists want us to believe about law enforcement and
- 50:45Speaker 1: that kind of thing is that rule of law sometimes
- 50:48Speaker 1: doesn't get you what you want because it's about evidence.
- 50:53Speaker 3: I mean, I was just.
- 50:54Speaker 1: Looking at this story out of northern Virginia. Guy had
- 50:57Speaker 1: spent 25 years in jail. because his co-conspirator in a
- 51:03Speaker 1: drug ring said that he paid him to kill someone else.
- 51:07Speaker 1: He didn't deny that he had killed him, but they
- 51:10Speaker 1: said this third party had paid him to do it.
- 51:14Speaker 1: And he spent 25 years in jail. And then this
- 51:17Speaker 1: guy recanted, said that he was pressured into doing it
- 51:22Speaker 1: by the police. And I don't know how much I
- 51:24Speaker 1: buy that. But the first thing this guy said, he
- 51:27Speaker 1: comes out of jail and he says, well, it's kind
- 51:29Speaker 1: of nice coming out. I felt weird being in jail
- 51:32Speaker 1: because I went to jail for doing something that you
- 51:35Speaker 1: can buy in the store now, meaning marijuana. And I said, yeah,
- 51:39Speaker 1: but it was still illegal when you did it. You
- 51:41Speaker 1: knew you were breaking the law when you did it.
- 51:44Speaker 1: And again, it gets back into proof and that kind
- 51:46Speaker 1: of thing, Andy. It's such a murky business. That's why
- 51:50Speaker 1: I wish the politicians would stay out of law enforcement
- 51:54Speaker 1: because it's hard enough to do without politicians.
- 51:57Speaker 3: But Oh, for sure.
- 51:59Speaker 5: But, you know, living in places that have constitutional sheriffs,
- 52:03Speaker 5: that's true.
- 52:04Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
- 52:05Speaker 5: That's a good, like, crossing.
- 52:07Speaker 3: That's a good place. Real quick, Andy.
- 52:11Speaker 5: So, yeah, anyway.
- 52:14Speaker 3: Yeah, we got to run.
- 52:16Speaker 5: I'm selling some assets right now.
- 52:18Speaker 3: Maybe I can help you out. Okay, well, enjoy, you know.
- 52:22Speaker 5: Keep doing what you're doing.
- 52:23Speaker 1: Always, always do, Andy. I appreciate the call. It's time
- 52:26Speaker 1: for us to roll. The light at the end of
- 52:29Speaker 1: the tunnel is the oncoming top of the hour news.
- 52:32Speaker 3: I appreciate it. We can't let that happen.
- 52:42Speaker 1: Until tomorrow morning, so long and thanks for all the fish.
- 52:51Speaker 14: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
- 52:53Speaker 14: compression of spinal nerves, according to Dr. Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
- 52:57Speaker 14: California-based chiropractor with more than 30 years of experience. This
- 53:01Speaker 14: compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury, or
- 53:05Speaker 14: simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
- 53:09Speaker 14: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
- 53:12Speaker 14: the neck and back, Dr. Fisher explains. His inventions, the
- 53:16Speaker 14: Fischer Traction neck device and Fischer Traction low back device,
- 53:20Speaker 14: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
- 53:24Speaker 14: the body can heal naturally. The Fischer Traction devices are
- 53:27Speaker 14: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
- 53:30Speaker 14: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
- 53:33Speaker 14: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
- 53:36Speaker 14: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home.
- 53:38Speaker 3: And Dr.
- 53:39Speaker 14: Fisher's series of YouTube videos provides helpful videos and detailed instructions.
