  Speaker 1: thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Joe works at.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: A steel mill. He's damn near every day.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Leaves for work when the sun comes up.

  Speaker 4: Drops the kids to school and on the way.
• 0:20

  Speaker 2: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:27
  Speaker 7: He only aims to please you.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Thank you for letting me be of service to you.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Here's how we roll. I will tell you what went
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: on last night. I will give you my analysis of it.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: And once we've allowed the side effects of my gummies
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: to have taken effect, I want to hear how it
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: is impacting you where you are, because you are the
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: most important local aspect of the radio station and how
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: the news of the day is impacting you is as
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: important as my analysis of it. Don't let the gaslighters
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: tell you otherwise. So that's how we do it. We've
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: been into a bunch of muck already. If you don't
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: get all four hours of the program, stop. I can
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: see you staring at your radio right now saying, he
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: does this for four hours consecutively as well. And then
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: you should hear me afterwards when I'm having lunch with
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: my wife. You're still going on about that? I mean,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: you could just stick a web. I'd be like a Kardashian.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: All right. I'd be like the ugliest Kardashian. But just
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: follow me around with a camera. It's sort of the
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: premise of our afternoon constitutional program. which is part of
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: the wonderfulness that Kareem earlier in the program said YouTube is.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: YouTube is where you find us. And on Rumble as well,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: we have to connect the app up as we wander
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: the hills and dales, actually taking a constitutional. No, not
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: that kind. The kind that, you know, a walk in
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: the woods. Bill Bryson, only conservative. And I don't mean
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: eco-terrorist conservative. So we will gather you there on our
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: YouTube channel. Just look for The Afternoon Constitutional and follow
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: me on social media and we'll tell you when we're
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: about to hit the air. It's going to be generally
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: about 4 o'clock every afternoon. That's sort of the sweet
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: spot for us in terms of all the other stuff
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: that goes on in our world. Once the red light
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: goes off and it's time to end there. But I
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: mentioned that we will tell you what went on last
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: night and then we'll give you a chance to weigh
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: in on it. So leave us, go forward to that
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: end and tell you what went on last night here
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: on First Thing Today. President Trump signed the funding bill
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: that will extend government spending through December 11th. The Senate
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: passed the measure almost a month ago. The House didn't
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: get around to it until Monday, and the vote was
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: 370 to 48. That way, there won't be any discussions
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: of government shutdowns around the midterms. They'll wait till Christmas.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Federal Judge Wednesday blocked the administration from enforcing their birthright
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: citizenship executive order. Supreme Court rejected the previous attempt to
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: insert a change to the policies.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: U.S.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: District Judge Deborah Boardman in Greenbelt, Maryland, issued the preliminary
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: injunction on the request of immigrant rights advocates. Technology executives
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: and administration officials held a seminar at the G20, hosted
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: the leaders of the G20 countries and buttonholed them on
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: regulation regarding artificial intelligence. They said that excessive restrictions could
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: slow innovation and limit the technology's economic potential. I believe
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: the government officials from the U.S. government were there to say,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: we've done this before. We know how it works. The
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: nation's roughly $ 40 trillion federal debt must be brought under control.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: That is from Treasury Secretary Scott Besson. He does say, though,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: that the U.S. economy remains strong. Aerial attacks overnight in Kiev, Odessa,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: and Dnipro killed two civilians and wounded six, according to
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: the Ukrainian government, Moscow's latest airstrikes as the war in
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Ukraine enters its fifth year. Remember, it was only going
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: to take about two weeks. President Trump vowed Wednesday to
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: campaign aggressively for Republican candidates in closely held districts in
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: November's midterms. He said, I will be with you 100%
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: all the way to November. And the jury in the
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Lindsay Clancy murder trial told the judge for the second
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: time that it can't agree on a verdict The judge
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: sent it back to the jury for more deliberations after
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: giving them some instructions intended to prod them towards discussing
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: possibilities within the verdict. Clancy, the former nurse from Massachusetts,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: doesn't deny her actions when she strangled her three children
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: to death, arguing postpartum psychosis was why it happened. You
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: may have heard I write for the Daily Signal. Yes,
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: that's the only way you're going to get Joe Thomas

  Speaker 3: right there just before us. But you can find me

• 9:37
  Speaker 10: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the

  Speaker 3: Can't believe this was also another one of those Wokey songs.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: You know, oh, didn't he lose his gig on America?
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: I don't know how much they pay you to. be
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: one of the judges on America's Got Talent, but he
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: lost his gig on that. I think Howie Mandel can
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: cover himself in hand sanitizer every five minutes, but you
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: write a song about how somebody makes it possible for
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: you to exist on minimum wage, and that's somehow, I
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: don't know, racist or something along those lines. It's a
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: puzzlement to me. Just try to make sense of it
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: all until you call in balls and strikes each morning
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: here for you at 434-882-4217. I don't know if you
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: saw this, and a couple of you have picked up
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: on this, a couple of emails on the Trump $ 1
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: coin that came out yesterday. I'll get to your emails
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: after we talk to James Luck at jcsgold.com. But I
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: understand it's a very popular little item. They're the Trump
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: $ 1 coin, and I guess you can get it for
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: a dollar still. James, how are you doing this morning, sir?
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: I'm doing well, Joe.
• 14:47
  Speaker 19: We have heard a lot of demand and interest in
• 14:50
  Speaker 19: getting their hands on the Trump $ 1 coin. It has
• 14:55
  Speaker 19: not been out yet in the sense that it's made
• 14:58
  Speaker 19: to us and the phone calls that we've made to
• 15:00
  Speaker 19: banks and stuff. We haven't been able to get our
• 15:03
  Speaker 19: hands on it yet, but it does sound like there's
• 15:07
  Speaker 19: a lot of interest.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: We'll see how many that.
• 15:10
  Speaker 19: They're going to make, but definitely keep a lookout at jcsgold.com
• 15:14
  Speaker 19: for the Trump $ 1 coin.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: You know, as a friend of mine, one of my
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: more sarcastic friends said, you know, boy, you know, in 1960,
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: this could have actually bought you a dollar's worth of stuff.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: But that is what has happened is we've taken the
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: gold standard out from behind our dollars, and gold is
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: just ringing the bell. How is it doing this morning, James?
• 15:37
  Speaker 19: Yeah, gold and silver are having a little comeback so
• 15:40
  Speaker 19: far this morning. Gold is up about three-quarters of a percent,
• 15:43
  Speaker 19: up $ 33 to $ 4, 421.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: Silver is up.
• 15:49
  Speaker 19: About two-tenths of a percent to $ 65.
• 15:51
  Speaker 18: 45.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: And that bounce back is what you see, but it
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: is if you look at all the graphs that they
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: keep at jcsgold.com because it's their model to make sure
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: you know everything before you go. Know before you go.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: It's a great slogan. But before you jump into the
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: gold and silver market, look at how it performs. And
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: you'll see, James, and tell me I'm reading this right,
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: You get to a point and there are ups and downs,
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: ups and downs along it, but nothing egregious. And then
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: you'll jump up some to a new plateau. And it's
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: almost like mountain climbing, isn't it? That's exactly right.
• 16:28
  Speaker 19: And really, gold and silver are a long-term investment. It's
• 16:32
  Speaker 19: not something that is going to be held for a
• 16:34
  Speaker 19: few months or you know, any type of aggressive day
• 16:37
  Speaker 19: trading type of thing. Gold and silver is the long-term
• 16:41
  Speaker 19: building a portfolio over time, because when you zoom out
• 16:44
  Speaker 19: on the five to 10 year and even further than that,
• 16:47
  Speaker 19: you can see the long-term trajectory of gold and silver up.
• 16:51
  Speaker 19: And it really is because it's a direct correlation with
• 16:54
  Speaker 19: inflation and the shrinking dollar. So it's one of those
• 16:57
  Speaker 19: things that, that people stack and they build their portfolio to,
• 17:03
  Speaker 19: secure their generational wealth.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: And this is the kind of advice you get when
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: you call 434-979-COIN. That's 434-979-2646, where James and the rest
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: of his family and their staff will greet you, talk
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: with you, and not try to upsell you anything. They
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: want to know where you are so that you have
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: the most successful investment in gold and silver that you
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: could possibly have, James. And you're a blessing for all
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: of us. And have a great Thursday morning.
• 17:33
  Speaker 19: Thanks, Joe. You too.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: Now, a quick question, James, though. Is hearing me say
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Thursday one of those, like, what? It's Thursday already moments?
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: As I was saying it, I'm like, what? Thursday already? Oh, man.
• 17:48
  Speaker 19: Yeah, Thursday, I sure did get here quick.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: That's for sure. Seriously, it just snuck up on me.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: And I've been on the air for an hour and
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: 20 minutes. And now I'm like, oh, gosh, it's Thursday. Oh, boy,
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: I got stuff to do on my to-do list. Well,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: let me get to it. James, you have a great morning.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Thanks, Joe.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: You too.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Hey, living this in real time, you know, AI wouldn't
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: generate a moment like that. So just so you know.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: what's going on. So the Trump coin, and I appreciate
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: this question from the gallery, and you might have the
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: same question. So President Trump issues a $ 1 coin, a
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Trump coin, and Louise, who listens down on WGSO 990
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: AM in New Orleans, said, aren't you supposed to wait
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: until after the president's out of office to strike a
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: coin with their likeness of it? And Louise, I went
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: and I looked to see if there was like a
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: rule about this, because I also have a couple of
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: emails pointing to how the Roman emperors used to do this.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: And to be fair, all the British currency when Queen
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Elizabeth passed had to be changed because The currency actually
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: carries the sovereign's face on it. So the fact that
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: our coins and our currency carry former presidents likenesses and
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: forming is actually unusual in a lot of places of
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: the world. But I wanted to think about this because
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: the question Louise raises is what would George Washington have
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: said about such a thing? And history, you know, we
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: have our heroes and we have our villains and sometimes
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: the villains get their story retold. Why did the Joker
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: go back? why did Darth Vader go bad we can't
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: just have a villain and we sort of had that
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: with the graphic novel turned into the TV show let's
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: humanize Lucifer let's tell the story of how he became
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: the fallen angel So you can feel for him a
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: little bit. So when Mr. Crowley shows up, is that
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: a new cologne? Yes, it's fire and brimstone. But as
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: we look at George Washington, and one of the neat
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: things about George Washington is he has survived this zeal
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: to castigate and to dispose of all of our American founders.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: He and Hamilton are it. And Hamilton was his guy.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: So I think being George Washington's capo really inoculated Hamilton
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: from a lot of the things that he actually did
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: wrong to the country. The one place George Washington is
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: not necessarily celebrated is in a book called The Probability Brooch,
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: in which his efforts against the Whiskey Rebellion turned him
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: into a great American villain. It's an interesting read, it is.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: He loses the Whiskey Rebellion, by the way. But George Washington,
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: and this may be part and parcel of why he
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: has survived to this day as so sanctified a figure,
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: Washington was no slouch at politicking. Washington and Mount Vernon
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: was a hotbed Of these political events. Oh, the Washingtons
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: are having everyone over. Why are they having it? Because everyone,
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: George wanted everyone to not just like him, but look
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: up to him because he knew at some point he
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: was going to call on you to do something for him.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: And I know that sounds like I'm talking about Don Corleone,
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: but I'll dig into this in greater detail.

  Speaker 4: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, SUV, or light truck,
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: That's what you should use. But there are exceptions to
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: the rule. Many high-end or luxury vehicles call for premium
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: or higher octane fuel. And the reason for this is
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: not just due to the octane rating. There are better
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know, too,
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: that vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: your fuel choices around, say, every third tankful, you may
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: find better performance and miles per gallon because you are
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive. Just
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: don't tell your mechanic you're trying to replace them anytime soon.

  Speaker 1: First Thing Today, by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: He's Trump, he's Trump, he's Trump, he's in their head.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you know he is. Living rent-free there.
• 28:33
  Speaker 24: He's Trump, he's Trump, he's Trump, with every thread.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: And I know it's controversial because we don't like to think,
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: especially if you don't like Donald Trump, whether you be
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: a Democrat or part of the Republican resistance to President
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: Trump being there. But you have to understand, and I'm
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: not saying this just to be what did they call
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: me earlier in the week, a conservative shock jock. But
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: there's a lot more in common between President Trump and
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: President Washington than then the polite cocktail party set would
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: have you believe. And I'll explain in a moment. But
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: Frank is hanging on the line, walking the beach in
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Daytona this morning. And I hope it's nice down there.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: We heard it's raining in Pennsylvania. Is it a nice
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: morning on the beach?
• 29:21
  Speaker 17: Yeah, it is, Joe. Good morning. We had some thunderstorms
• 29:25
  Speaker 17: an hour and a half ago.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: They're gone.
• 29:27
  Speaker 17: It's beautiful.
• 29:27
  Speaker 21: I apologize for the sound of the ocean in the background.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh. Do you know people pay cash money
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: for machines that make that sound? uh so that they
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: so i mean i guess you know living on the
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: 34th floor of a high rise you're not going to
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: hear or what you hear if you open the window
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: isn't very pleasant so i i would take the real
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: sound of the ocean any old time uh so what's
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: on your.
• 29:52
  Speaker 21: Mind Well, I just wanted to comment on the Trump coins.
• 29:56
  Speaker 21: They did become available yesterday through the U.S. Mint, but
• 29:59
  Speaker 21: they sold out almost immediately. And, you know, these are
• 30:03
  Speaker 21: legal tender, even though there is a rule against putting
• 30:07
  Speaker 21: a living president.
• 30:08
  Speaker 17: Actually, you're not supposed to.
• 30:09
  Speaker 21: Put anybody on a coin or money until after they're dead.
• 30:14
  Speaker 21: But they kind of got around that because of the
• 30:16
  Speaker 21: 250th anniversary.
• 30:18
  Speaker 17: So it's technically like a souvenir, although you can spend it.
• 30:22
  Speaker 17: It's legal tender.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: Okay, so it falls under the commemorative banner.
• 30:30
  Speaker 17: Exactly. And you can only buy them through the U.S. Mint.
• 30:33
  Speaker 21: But here's the issue that I have with it. It's
• 30:36
  Speaker 21: a dollar coin. If you get it, you can go
• 30:38
  Speaker 21: to the store, you can buy something for a dollar.
• 30:40
  Speaker 17: But they cost between $ 1. 55 and two something, depending on
• 30:46
  Speaker 17: the quantity that you buy. Wow. So if you buy
• 30:49
  Speaker 17: a 25-coin roll.
• 30:53
  Speaker 17: And that's going to cost you.
• 30:55
  Speaker 21: I think it's about $ 55, $ 54 for 25 coins. And
• 31:01
  Speaker 21: if you buy the 100 coin bag, it's about $ 154.
• 31:04
  Speaker 21: So that's the cost of the coins are between $ 1. 50
• 31:09
  Speaker 21: something and two something.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: Now, would you be okay with that if that extra
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: money went right to bringing down that $ 40 trillion deficit
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: the Treasury has?
• 31:19
  Speaker 17: $ 100 trillion.
• 31:20
  Speaker 21: Absolutely, 100%. Joe, honestly, I'm going to Brazil in September,
• 31:27
  Speaker 21: and all of my anti-Lula friends over there are pro-Trump,
• 31:30
  Speaker 21: so I thought I might buy a couple of these coins. Well,
• 31:33
  Speaker 21: you have to buy 25, and I'm okay with that,
• 31:35
  Speaker 21: but they're sold out.
• 31:37
  Speaker 17: So I went to the eBay machine, and they're getting
• 31:40
  Speaker 17: about $ 4.
• 31:40
  Speaker 21: 95 on average per coin that's worth a dollar.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: The exchange rate, it's like flying to Canada these days. Well,
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: you know, it's important, though. I mean, you know, and
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: our friends at JCSGold.com have tons of commemorative coins. The
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: 250th anniversary is just as much anything. But there are
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: so many ways to commemorate. But I like the idea
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: of having a struck coin to commemorate something. I have
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: a picture, a photograph, and I made it for my wife.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: for her birthday one year. It's a picture of her
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: and her father the year she was born. And there
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: was a picture of her and her dad the year
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: we got married, that she and I got married. And
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: I went to JCS Golden. I got a silver dime
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: from the year she was born, which I won't mention
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: on the air because I'm smart. And then from 1993,
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: the year we got, 1992, the year we got married,
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: And so each silver coin is right there and you
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: can see it. And that's what kind of makes minted
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: coins neat beyond just the currency aspect of it. Because
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: they mean something. There is a piece in history. You're like, well,
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: this coin's been around for a hundred years. What has
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: it seen? What has it done? How many pockets has
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: it been in? That kind of thing is, to me,
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: the numismatic side of coins beyond just the currency. which
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: I'm sure you weren't expecting to talk about this morning,
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: but you're like, hey, you know what? It's a nice
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: day on the beach. We'll talk about whatever. Hey, Joe,
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what.
• 33:26
  Speaker 21: What you just mentioned is true. I'm a veteran, and
• 33:29
  Speaker 21: these challenge coins that you carry around in the 82nd Airborne,
• 33:34
  Speaker 21: those are great because it's a little camaraderie thing, but
• 33:36
  Speaker 21: what you're talking about, a custom coin, that's really, really cool.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's an important piece, and it's I think one
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: of the neat ways to commemorate history. Will you enjoy
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: your walk on the beach and, uh, have a great morning.
• 33:52
  Speaker 17: Keep doing what you're doing. You're doing a great job.
• 33:55
  Speaker 17: Appreciate you every morning.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: Oh, I appreciate you guys tuning in on WROD down there. Uh,
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: the talk radio of new of Daytona. And, uh, so
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: one of these days I'll bore you all silly with
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: our story of hurricane Charlie. Uh, and, uh, the, the
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: time we were stranded there, uh, couldn't get out of
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: Daytona because, uh, we were, we were, We had planned
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: a trip down to Florida, and we were so blissfully
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: ignorant of stuff that all of a sudden I put
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: on the Weather Channel, and there's these evacuation notices, and
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: get out of Fort Myers. They wanted everyone out of
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: Fort Myers, and they were evacuating, and they were showing
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: this track of Hurricane Charlie coming out of the Gulf
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: of America. And then, well, I know it wasn't called
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: that then, but is it? and just cutting right across Florida.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: And I remember they evacuated everybody to Daytona. We were
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: already headed to Daytona to tour the track and the
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: beach and everything. So we get there, and the hotel
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: is just full of folks who had been evacuated from
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Fort Myers because they expected Charlie to go on a
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: more straight path across Florida, and he didn't. He went
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: up and just hammered. Daytona, it was still, I still
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: think it was category one. It hit Fort Myers as
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: a category five. It was still a category one by
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: the time it had just wreaked havoc on Disney World
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: and Orlando and all of that. And the exit wound
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: was in Daytona. And I remember driving past the racetrack,
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: which is right next to the airport. And there was,
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: I'm tempted to say it was a 747 could have been,
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: you know, the 737, one of the smaller jets was,
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: was a Kimbo up against a chain link fence because
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: they didn't have a place to put it. And it
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: was on the tarmac and, and it just was post-apocalyptic
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: to see a commercial jetliner sideways, like a children's toy
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: left out in the backyard and, up against a chain
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: link fence. Man, the power, what nature does and can
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: do wherever you are. There's always, and I'm not one
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: of those greedy saying, oh, it was climate change that
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: did it or the Bush administration. But it was, I mean,
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: the people in Daytona were incredible. And the cleanup, we
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: went down down through the beach and went into a
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: couple of shops and everyone, and, and, you know, there's
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: a certain amount of shell shock, even if it happens regularly. And, uh,
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: and I'm sure, you know, the, the folks on the
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: treasure coast and all those folks get hammered, you know,
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: pretty bad. Uh, my friend, Matt is down in Fort Myers. They've,
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: they've had their storm related issues. Well, you know, it
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: was at, um, two years ago, just, uh, just wreaked
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: havoc on Fort Myers and then all the way up
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: into Tennessee and North Carolina as well. Nature will, and
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: it's part of the hubris of the climate change movement,
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: is the idea that we can do something about this
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: by staging a play, march a walkout. That'll stop the
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: hurricane from coming. We're going to have a no hurricanes rally,
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: and we're going to hold that no hurricanes rally right
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: here at the inlet And we're going to tell Mother Nature,
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: no hurricanes anymore. This is America, and we're going to
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: protest it. The power of persuasion. We were talking about
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: Trump and Washington and why Washington was as revered as
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: he was in as many places is because Washington understood
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: the same thing that Trump does regarding persuasion.
• 38:01
  Speaker 7: Can you believe, with all the recent violent protests, looting,
• 38:05
  Speaker 7: and destruction, some areas are considering either defunding.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: Or abolishing the police?
• 38:11
  Speaker 7: At a time when America's neighborhoods need the protection of
• 38:14
  Speaker 7: police the most, some elected officials would rather create more
• 38:17
  Speaker 7: chaos by playing politics. If you're sick of elected officials
• 38:21
  Speaker 7: caving in to demands of the radical left, you're not alone.
• 38:25
  Speaker 7: It's time we stand up and declare our support for
• 38:28
  Speaker 7: local police.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: The majority of police officers are.

  Speaker 8: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 39:08
  Speaker 8: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 39:13
  Speaker 8: I'm Dr.
• 39:14
  Speaker 13: Mitch.
• 39:15
  Speaker 8: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 39:20
  Speaker 8: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 39:24
  Speaker 8: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 39:29
  Speaker 8: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 39:33
  Speaker 8: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 39:40
  Speaker 8: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or at
• 39:44
  Speaker 8: least slow the spread of cancer and in many instances
• 39:47
  Speaker 8: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 39:52
  Speaker 8: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,

• 40:06
  Speaker 20: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 40:10
  Speaker 20: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 40:13
  Speaker 20: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 40:17
  Speaker 20: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 40:22
  Speaker 20: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 40:26
  Speaker 20: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 40:29
  Speaker 20: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 40:33
  Speaker 20: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 40:38
  Speaker 20: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 40:43
  Speaker 20: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 40:46
  Speaker 20: enforcement arm the Office of the Inspector General at oig.ssa.gov.
• 40:54
  Speaker 20: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: Hi, everybody.
• 40:59
  Speaker 24: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 41:01
  Speaker 24: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 41:05
  Speaker 24: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 41:07
  Speaker 24: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 41:09
  Speaker 24: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes.
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: Who work hard to provide for their young.
• 41:15
  Speaker 24: Or penguins, who travel up to 500 miles to secure
• 41:18
  Speaker 24: food for their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump
• 41:21
  Speaker 24: allows them to navigate the trees and the wild in
• 41:23
  Speaker 24: search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by
• 41:26
  Speaker 24: our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are our
• 41:29
  Speaker 24: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 41:32
  Speaker 24: they also perform life-saving work every day. Dogs keep us
• 41:35
  Speaker 24: safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom
• 41:38
  Speaker 24: suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when
• 41:41
  Speaker 24: there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have
• 41:44
  Speaker 24: a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society
• 41:47
  Speaker 24: and help those in need. So please join me and
• 41:49
  Speaker 24: American Humane in supporting our heroic working dogs and all
• 41:52
  Speaker 24: the amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go

  Speaker 14: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 42:01
  Speaker 18: Oh, yeah?
• 42:02
  Speaker 16: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 42:04
  Speaker 18: And now a speech.
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 42:10
  Speaker 8: Heart and brain.
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: Who's with me?
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
• 42:16
  Speaker 5: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: call me a ride.
• 42:20
  Speaker 14: Love that guy.
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: Me too.
• 42:21
  Speaker 7: Know your buzzed warning signs?
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: Call for a ride when it's time to go home.
• 42:25
  Speaker 18: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 42:29
  Speaker 11: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 42:31
  Speaker 11: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 42:36
  Speaker 11: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 42:40
  Speaker 11: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 42:42
  Speaker 11: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 42:46
  Speaker 11: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 42:52
  Speaker 11: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 42:55
  Speaker 11: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 42:59
  Speaker 11: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 43:01
  Speaker 11: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 43:04
  Speaker 11: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 43:08
  Speaker 11: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 43:11
  Speaker 11: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 43:15
  Speaker 11: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

• 44:27
  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: Thank you for joining us on this Thursday, morning Thursday.
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: Everything's going cattywampus here. Oh, the heresy. Joe compared George
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: Washington to Donald Trump. And just to make the finer
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: point on it, as Washington understood early on in his
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: military career, that there was a certain amount of who
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: you knew, especially in the British Army, the British Army
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: that was far removed from the actual command of the
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: British Army. So he understood that politicking was not, you know,
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: bad for his life. And so... Mount Vernon was famous
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: for its gatherings, and after his military career was over
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: in Annapolis, in that famous moment when he turns in
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: his commission, he goes about hosting get-togethers. He was power-building
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: in the years in between the end of the Revolution
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: and his recall when they called him to the Constitutional Convention.
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: and said, you know, we can't get anywhere. The country
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: is going to fall apart. We need somebody who can
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: organize this and get these people working together. And the
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: only person they could think of was George Washington, because
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: George Washington had already befriended almost everyone in the room.
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: And I believe the case can be made that he
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: had had everyone at the Constitutional Convention at Mount Vernon
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: for a a party, a get-together of some kind at
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: some point. There was no one in that Constitutional Convention
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: that didn't know and at very least revere George Washington.
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: So you want to call it the art of the
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: deal just to complete the tour of the metaphor? Fine.
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: But he was brought in to step on the appropriate toes,
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: to twist the appropriate arms, to bend the appropriate ears,
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: to get everyone together on a constituting document that would
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: hold the country together, a country that many of his
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: soldiers had died for. So pardon him if it was
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: a little important to him. And I don't know what
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: 200 years from now is going to be written about
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump, but I think Donald Trump's case for himself is,
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: given the way very little can be done, whether Chuck
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: Schumer held a fundraiser at Trump Tower or Bill Clinton
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: was the guest of honor at Donald Trump's wedding, our
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: modern body politic is, as Washington warned us about being,
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: about party membership rather than citizenship in the United States.
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: That the concept of the United States was more important
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: as long as the issues of your particular state were
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: dealt with fine. But I think there's more commonality I
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: think Washington understood being genteel was as much a weapon
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: as anything. So would he have called his opponents nicknames
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: and made up derisive terms about them? Probably not. But
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: you can see in his farewell address, he's not above
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: criticizing his own people. Even if he doesn't name names.
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: There's no Little Marcos or anyone like that. There's no
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: Lion Teds in his farewell address. But I think at
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: the time, it stung a lot of people pretty directly,
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: because if you read Washington's farewell address, he's pretty specific
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: about the people he's calling out, even though he didn't
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: do it by name. Anyway, let me get a ton
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: of text. I wanted to note this one. Charlie, who
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: listens to us up in Fairbanks on KFAR, And I
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: appreciate it. Charlie, I apologize. if I haven't read some
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: of your text messages to us. But they've been going
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: into some weird spam folder that I didn't even know
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: I had in my text messages. Because I found this
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: one in March and April. Sorry, man. But on Wednesday,
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: he sent, keep Ted Nugent a priority, please. Joe, Teddy
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: Roosevelt spent several years antagonizing Japan to attack China over
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: the Yalu River, etc. Freedom, bro. He sent me a
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: link to the Mukden incident, so I'll look into that.
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: And because yesterday we had spent a good bit of
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: time talking about Mao's China, Mao's communism, Maoism, if you will,
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: versus Marxism, which is different than Leninism. See, Marx wrote
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: a philosophy about a communist manifesto. Lenin decided this is
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: how it's going to work in Russia. Mao really gutted
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: a lot of it and took what was already the
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: feudal societies and said, how about, yeah, and this is
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: really the conceit of communism. They will take poverty, industrialize it,
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: institutionalize it. con you into believing that you're not going
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: to be poor anymore. What they don't tell you is
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: that what they mean is a whole bunch of more
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: people in your neighborhood are going to be poor like you,
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: so you're not going to seem so unusual for poverty.
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: Your poverty is going to become more commonplace. The equity conceit.
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: Speaking of Maoism, we were talking about data centers, and
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: now the anti-Ted Cruz people are coming out. I don't
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: know where this is coming from, but this person said, well,
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: if Ted Cruz is against it, then I'm for it.
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: That's right. So one of the Tallarico people, I guess.
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: Then this one comes in, says, Joe, where is my
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: money from China for criticizing data centers? How much is
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: China paying you? You know, it's been a while since
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: somebody's accused me of being on somebody's payroll. Um, China
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: pays me nothing because I'm not criticizing data centers. I'm
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: not saying we shouldn't have data centers in the United States.
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: I'm saying we should absolutely have data centers in the
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: United States because I want data centers existing under the
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: third and fourth amendment. It's the only way we're ever
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: going to have any control over it. Um, But check
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: into the people who are feeding the campaigns that you
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: follow regarding data centers. You backtrack enough, you will find
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: the money coming from Beijing. It's just like the kids
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: in the field at Yazgur's farm weren't being paid by
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: the Soviets.
• 52:51
  Speaker 22: You know, it's true. Difficult times have a way of
• 52:54
  Speaker 22: focusing us. We have to think about what matters most
• 52:57
  Speaker 22: when it comes to our spending, our health care. This
• 52:59
  Speaker 22: is why so many people are joining MediShare right now.
• 53:03
  Speaker 22: MediShare is a trusted way to save up to 50%
• 53:06
