• 0:02
  Speaker 1: We've cut the cost of radio listening by, hell, it
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: didn't cost anything in the first place. So let's say.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: $ 1 million.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: And call it even.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: Joe works at a steel mill. He's damn near every day.
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: Leaves for work when the sun comes up. Drops a
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: kid to school in the long way. Joe has everything
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: he dreamed of. All the treasures that he needs. No
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:35
  Speaker 5: He only aims to please you.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Let me be your Joe. Bless you for letting me
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: be of service to you this morning.
• 0:43
  Speaker 5: I want to be your Joe.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: The radio program Unabashed call itself a radio program. 96%
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: of Americans still listen to the radio. Why would we
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: vacillate on that? There's a very robust thesaurus on words
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: that could have meant that. It took a while to
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: go through the files. Come on, it's early this morning.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: But the program, what we do is we tell you
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: what went on last night. I will certainly tell you
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: my analysis of it. Agree or disagree, but disagree the part.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: It's the things we do for radio. And paraphrasing notwithstanding,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: you do it by using the phone number 434- That
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: works as a text message hotline as well. So you
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: send those. Much more popular than phone calls. But I
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: like the phone calls. But then again, it's just me
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: and a bunch of buttons and knobs in here. And
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: that's daunting enough for me sometimes. But I know how
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: you are this morning. Crazy making. Trying to get everything
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: done so you can head out this morning. So you
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: can just holler something into voice to text and hit send.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: And we'll put your words on the air like Richard
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Burton in Beckett. I'm not sure. I just happened to
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: see it on TV the other day. That being said,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: so much going on. One week until it's all said
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: and done. And then maybe four or five more weeks
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: until we know what the results are. Unlike Brazilian elections,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that polls will close tomorrow. at their
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: appointed hours and all the way out west through Hawaii.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: And then we'll know who our congressional representatives are. Massive turnouts,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: almost 5 million people in Texas already. Kind of embarrassing.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Virginians been voting for 45 days, I guess 39 days
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: so far. And we only have a million and some odd.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Texas has been voting for like a week and four
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: and a half people, four and a half million people
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: have already voted in the Texas elections. And, of course,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: the tea leaf readers are all telling you, oh, the
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: conservative counties are way up. Yeah, you know what? The
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: conservative counties' liberal voters are all turning out in force.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Trust me, been there, done that. Signed the checks on
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: the front as well. It is, you know, people are, oh,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: look at all these conservative counties. Look at all the
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: liberals in those conservative counties. That's who's turning out to vote.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: But let's jump in feet first into our first things. U.S.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Appeals Court Monday denied President Trump's request to block California
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: from counting mail ballots from people on a list of
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: more than 20,000 voters on California's role that the federal
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: government says are likely non-citizens. California says the state's safeguards
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: are robust and the Justice Department's claims are relying on
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: suspect data. Meanwhile, 48 non-citizens were charged with election-related charges
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: in five states, including allegations of illegal voting in federal elections,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: fraudulent voter registration, and false claims of U.S. citizenship. The
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: cases are in California, Pennsylvania, Florida, New York, and Nevada,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: and cover elections in 2020, 2022, and 2024. Trump administration
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Monday asked Washington state to set aside any ballots received
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: from more than 400 people it suspects registered to vote
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: without U.S. citizenship. Justice Department said it had identified 1,500
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: votes cast by those 400 people in prior elections. President
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Trump upped the ante, saying that any tips on voter
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: fraud that lead to convictions would earn the tipster $ 1 million.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: He posted on Truth Social, anybody reporting voter fraud in
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: the past elections or the upcoming 2026 midterms will be
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: paid $ 1 million upon the arrest and conviction of those
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: that created the fraud. Former FBI Director James Comey faces
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: two new federal charges stemming from a 2016 alleged disclosure
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: of classified national defense information to a New York Times reporter.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Prosecutors allege that Comey, through one or more co-conspirators, directed
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: an unidentified individual to disclose the information in October of 2016.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: A Marine veteran from Casa Grande, Arizona, has been sentenced
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: to 38 months in prison for threatening to kill whoever
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: won the 2024 election. Israelis are voting today on their
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Knesset representation. No party has ever won an outright majority,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: but Benjamin Netanyahu has been able to keep a parliamentary
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: seat coalition together for many years and may face the
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: fresh challenge this time. All right, for the Daily Signal,
• 6:34

  Speaker 6: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Products on the market.
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: Hi, I'm Dr.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: Mitch.
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation has antioxidant
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: properties and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: at least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances,
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 7: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:16
  Speaker 7: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: personal information like your Social Security number or bank account
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 7: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 8: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 9: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 10:01
  Speaker 9: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 9: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 9: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:08
  Speaker 9: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Who work hard to provide for their young.
• 10:14
  Speaker 9: Or penguins, who travel up to 500 miles to secure
• 10:17
  Speaker 9: food for their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump
• 10:20
  Speaker 9: allows them to navigate the trees and the wild in
• 10:22
  Speaker 9: search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by
• 10:25
  Speaker 9: our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are our
• 10:28
  Speaker 9: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 10:32
  Speaker 9: they also perform life-saving work every day. Dogs keep us
• 10:35
  Speaker 9: safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom
• 10:37
  Speaker 9: suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when
• 10:41
  Speaker 9: there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have
• 10:44
  Speaker 9: a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society
• 10:46
  Speaker 9: and help those in need. So please join me and
• 10:49
  Speaker 9: American Humane in supporting our heroic working dogs and all
• 10:52
  Speaker 9: the amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go
• 10:55

  Speaker 10: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 11: Oh, yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 10: Yeah, he's starting with the woots. And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 11: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 10: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 12: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 12: somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 10: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 13: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:23
  Speaker 13: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:26
  Speaker 14: Boop!
• 11:28
  Speaker 8: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 8: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 8: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:39
  Speaker 8: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 8: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 8: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 11:51
  Speaker 8: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:58
  Speaker 8: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:00
  Speaker 8: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 12:11
  Speaker 8: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 12:14
  Speaker 8: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

• 12:29
  Speaker 15: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 15: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 15: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:40
  Speaker 15: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 12:43
  Speaker 15: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories

  Speaker 1: We didn't make talk radio. We made it better. First
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: It's been a long week since you looked at me.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Cut your head to.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: The side and said I'm angry.
• 13:28
  Speaker 16: Five days since you laughed at me and said get
• 13:31
  Speaker 16: back together, come back and see me.
• 13:33
  Speaker 17: Three days since the living room.
• 13:34
  Speaker 16: I realize it's all my fault but couldn't tell you yesterday.
• 13:37
  Speaker 18: You'd forgiven me but it'll still.
• 13:40
  Speaker 19: Be two days till I say I'm sorry.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Hold it now and watch the hood wink as I
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: make you stop think. You'll think you're looking at Aquaman.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: I summoned... So it's one week till it's all over, right? Well,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: one week until they close the polls. States like Virginia
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: will continue to receive mail-in ballots for weeks on end,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: which is ironic because one of our congressional candidates here
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: actually fought really hard in court to keep overseas soldiers'
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: ballots from being counted after the governor waited too long
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: to send out the ballots to our servicemen and women
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: serving overseas. The governor at the time, his name, you
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: may have heard of him, Tim Kaine, and the congressman,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: you may have heard of him, did some stuff for
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: George Soros for a while, voted for Obamacare, Tom Perriello.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: And he's out, he's got all these ads for these
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: groups that I've never heard of, but they have veterans
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: in their names, you know, the veterans for progress and
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: veterans for change and veterans for affordability and all these
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: veterans groups. I'm like, really? American Legion on this list?
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Veterans of foreign wars anywhere? Hey, you know, endorsements are,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know if we're getting jaded to these endorsements,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: all these groups that you can't find any record of
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: existing prior to, you know, earlier this year. And you're like, really?
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: A group just started, oh, well, you know, we found
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: a bunch of veterans that really didn't like President Trump
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: because no new wars, you know, he said no new wars.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: For the record, because people come and go, and you
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: may not have heard me say this, what's going on
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: with Iran is not a new war. I've never classified
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: it as a new war. It is an attempt to
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: end the oldest war in American history. the one that's
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: been going on since the Barbary pirates, our battle with
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: radical Islamists, whose determination is that their religion says they
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: can kill us, steal from us, lie to us. And
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: as Zutty Jasser has pointed out at the American Islamic
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Forum for Democracy, until the Islamic community dies, En masse
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: dispatches that as nothing more than radicalism, the same way
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: that we don't stone people in the town square for
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: planting two different crops next to one another anymore. It's
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: not going to change, and they don't seem to be
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: interested in changing because, you know, the number one group
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: on the target list of radical Islamists are Muslims that
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: don't believe themselves to be radical Islamists. They're the first
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: ones that have to go. But with one week to
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: go until the culmination of our election cycles, I was
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: looking at some of the top places, research done, 4
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: million votes in Texas so far, University of Florida Election
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Lab Early Voting Tracker. These are for the University of
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Florida kids that aren't, you know, still having a tailgate party.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Or is it the beginning of next week's tailgate party?
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's tough to tell sometimes. But where early
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: voting has gone on, Virginia... over a million votes. Texas, 4.5
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: million early votes. And what's happening, and you have to
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: look at this, so in Texas, 205,000 are mail-in ballots
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: out of the 4.5 million early votes. And the rest
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: are in-person early And the tea leaf readers are all
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: hooked on this, well, this is a conservative county. It's
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: the liberals in those conservative counties. Don't be catfished. The press,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: as you well know, is in the bag for these people.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: I'd like to ascribe it to ideology. Ideology. But it's
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: not ideological. These people are panderers. And so panderers stick together.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: They get each other. California, on the other hand, 3.2
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: million early votes so far. 3.2 million mail-in ballots. Do
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: you know who sent them? Anyone witness them? Mail-in ballots requested,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: 23 million. So far, 50% of the votes cast or
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: votes returned by party registration And this becomes problematic. This
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: becomes a little brutal. for me. So this is based
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: on votes requested by party registration and returned. 50% of
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: the returned early votes are from Democrats. It's 1.4%. Almost
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: 21% are unaffiliated. They are not registered by party. 29%
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: are returned by Republicans. But knowing these numbers, what do
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: you do with them? You're listening to us right now
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: in Sacramento or San Bernardino. Have you voted yet? Are
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: you waiting for Election Day? Okay, that's good. The upside
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: for Republicans is, though they trail way behind, Only 13%
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: of Democrat-requested ballots have been returned. Perhaps they're afraid they're
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: going to be visited by ICE officers at the polling place.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Virginia's attorney general has decided to get his press release
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: on and is out there saying, I want police officers
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: there to protect voters. He's talking about having an entire
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: division of the attorney general's office there to protect Democrats there.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: and non-citizens who want to vote for Democrats who are
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: going to give them more aid money from federal officials
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: that might show up and try to intimidate voters by
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: being armed as if they were the only armed people. Now,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: of course, in Virginia, a polling place is a gun-free zone. Hey,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: I'm Brant, and her name is Sherry.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Hello.
• 22:04
  Speaker 20: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
• 22:06
  Speaker 20: for because of a surgery she just went through.
• 22:09
  Speaker 21: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
• 22:11
  Speaker 21: talk about all the time, which is?
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: MediShare.
• 22:13
  Speaker 21: That is right.
• 22:14
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 22:15
  Speaker 20: So what was your experience like with MediShare and the
• 22:17
  Speaker 20: health care bills?
• 22:18
  Speaker 21: Honestly, Brant, seamless. And what a blessing that is when
• 22:21
  Speaker 21: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was.
• 22:24
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 22:24
  Speaker 21: Members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
• 22:27
  Speaker 21: me tell you, having people pray with you when you
• 22:30
  Speaker 21: call in with your need, that is just... It is refreshing. Yes,
• 22:34
  Speaker 21: that's what it is.
• 22:35
  Speaker 20: But I keep telling people, people love MediShare and they
• 22:38
  Speaker 20: love saving money. A typical family can save $ 500 a month.
• 22:42
  Speaker 21: I am very thankful for MediShare. It is so different.
• 22:46
  Speaker 21: And I mean different in a very, very good way.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: It is good, different. Call now.
• 22:50

  Speaker 9: Hi, I'm Dr.
• 23:02
  Speaker 11: Michael Bailey, president of the American Veterinary Medical Association. Artificial
• 23:07
  Speaker 11: intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver better
• 23:11
  Speaker 11: care for pets. From AI-assisted radiographs that speed up diagnoses,
• 23:17
  Speaker 11: to tools that help spot diseases. AI supports veterinary teams
• 23:21
  Speaker 11: in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop personalized cancer treatments,
• 23:27
  Speaker 11: predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease, and even streamline
• 23:32
  Speaker 11: record keeping so veterinarians can focus more on patients. But
• 23:37
  Speaker 11: as with any new technology, always keep a human in
• 23:40
  Speaker 11: the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare. AI is
• 23:45
  Speaker 11: a powerful tool. but not a replacement for your veterinarian's expertise, compassion,
• 23:50
  Speaker 11: and judgment, which remains at the center of our profession.

  Speaker 6: Considered by most, Optimized Curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: I'm Dr.
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: Mitch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer. or at
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances,
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even

  Speaker 8: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home

  Speaker 8: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can

• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Thank you for letting us do what we do. Of course,
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: we'll be here election day, the election morning. I am
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: going to take a turn as a poll watcher, just
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: making sure I'll be viewed. And I get in trouble
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: every time I do it because I am a notable person.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: And somebody will call what vestiges of local newspaper reporting
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: out there and saying, yeah, that's a voter intimidation. This
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: celebrity is there and he's talking to me. I haven't.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: God is my witness. Somebody came in and said, hey, Joe,
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: how are you doing? And I said, pretty good, thanks.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: And because supposedly this identified me as a Republican poll watcher,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: I became classified as a vote suppressor, an intimidator of men. Me.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: My wife laughed at that idea. But this is the
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: shenanigan that goes on because then they say, well, you
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: can't watch the polls because people know who you are
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: and then they know your ideology because you go out
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: on the radio. And it's all about making sure that
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: you can't, believe me, a leftist columnist Leads the parade.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: But the minute a conservative, which is the lion's share
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: of the people on this planet... And in this country, certainly...
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: But we have to be marginalized.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Because it's the only way people whose ideology only represents
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: about a third of the population, if that much, can win.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: They can only win if there's 45 or 50 percent
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: voter turnout because they turn themselves out 100 percent of
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: the time because it is always aspirational. So they need
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: voter turnout suppression. amongst conservatives so that the Marxism can
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: win because it's always about doing something. And you need
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: to learn this. Why did Trump win? Because Trump was aspirational.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Why did Reagan win? Reagan was aspirational, shining city on
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: the hill, make America great again. Bill Clinton nicking the
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Fleetwood Mac song, Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow. Think about
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: all the people who have been successful at running for
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: office in your lifetime. They've all been aspirational. Whether you
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: agree with their policy or not, I'm not talking about
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: their policies. The Marxists have figured out, probably because they
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: use the same advertising agency that managed to turn Hamas
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: into a marginalized community of upstart activists, you know, whatever.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: It's still baffling to me how we could do that.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: As Israel votes, we see if Israel's media carries the
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: same sway that the American media thinks that they do.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: The The narrative, if you will, is that Republicans have
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: screwed everything up and we're going to fix it. And
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: the narrative four years ago was Democrats screwed everything up
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: and we're going to fix it. You have to be aspirational,
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: especially amongst the conservatives. Because we don't rally to the
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: team the way the progressives do. And I told you
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: this six months ago. Six months ago, if you recall
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: six months ago, what was the story? Dems in disarray.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: We had Zorhan Mamdani and his cadre of Marxists, his
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: merry men from New York. and all the Marxists that
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: overturned all the AOC progressives who had overturned a bunch
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: of Clinton Democrats. We had Abdul El-Sayed and James Tallarico,
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: who's trying to, I think, become Muslim before the election
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: is over. Can you be baptized into the... I mean,
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: do you have to kill someone to... I don't know.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Somebody look into that for me, how you convert. Yeah,
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Ilhan Omar would be a good one to ask. How
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: do you become an Islamist? But all these folks chasing
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: their midterm elections, it was— every story was about, oh, the
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Democrats are just eating each other, and it's going to
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: be a horrible midterm because— And I warned you then,
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: I warned you then, don't fall for it. Don't fall
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: for it. And what they were trying to do was
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: soften us all up to the idea of Republicans being
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: critical of other Republicans. Well, they're doing it, so I
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: guess it's okay. I can be critical. I don't like
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: the congressman whosies. The trouble is the Democrats, A.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: They do two things to... A, they lie. And two,
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: they misrepresent. I know it sounds like the same thing,
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: but in their mind, it's different. I didn't tell you
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: a lie. I just didn't tell you the truth. Oh,
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: that's different. Thank you, Bill Clinton. So while the press...
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: doing their duty for their Democrat overlords, was telling you
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: six months ago, oh, it's going to be a bloodbath
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: for Democrats this year. They're the gang that can't shoot straight.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: They're in disarray. They're divided. They've got who is the
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: Parkland kid was the vice chair. And it was like,
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: let this guy be the vice chair of the Democrat Party.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was every story, every news outlet had
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: some story about how the Democrats were consuming themselves, which
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: led to Republicans starting to think, well, I mean, I
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: didn't really, I didn't like this guy. And do you
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: know how long the Murkowski family has represented Alaska? And
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: who let this guy in? This is like the third
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: Republican in a row in our congressional district. And I
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: liked the guy before him. Why did he leave? And
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: I didn't like the way we chose the candidate, convention
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: over primary, whatever. All these things were fomented amongst Republicans
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: because Republicans have a much stronger litmus test. Because we
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: are conservative, we want to conserve the way of life.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: And if somebody votes for a big pork package— and
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: raises spending, we're like, oh, he's raising spending. I've never
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: fallen into the spending trap. President Trump said from the onset,
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: I'm not worried about the debt. I can work with debt.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: He's never lied to us about the American debt. What's happening, though,
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: is the value of each dollar every time a new
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: dollar is printed, which, by the way, hasn't continued. All
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: this money that's being shuffled around, it's being moved from
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: one place to another. But that doesn't suit the narrative.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: So they make it look like Donald Trump is making
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: drunken sailors look bad with his spending. More Republicans say,
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: I don't like this anymore. And then you get into
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: the no new wars narrative. And I'm not alleviating the
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: blame that should be attached to any congressman that can't eloquent. Ah,
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: did you cook me? Is this decaf? Gosh, oh man,
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: cannot eloquate these messages. I have no gravity. These people
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: have gone to law school. They've been in the political machine.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: And maybe that's the problem. They've been in the political
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: machine so long they don't see the forest for the trees.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: They don't live in the real world like you and me.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: But you have to understand what's going to happen if
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: the Republicans don't.
• 38:02
  Speaker 12: Hi, it's Mark Falter, host of the Financial Fitness Show.
• 38:05
  Speaker 12: I strongly believe that no one should ever pay one
• 38:08
  Speaker 12: penny more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately
• 38:13
  Speaker 12: for most hardworking Americans, this just isn't the case.
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 38:16
  Speaker 12: Because most people spend more time planning next weekend's getaway
• 38:21
  Speaker 12: than trying to ensure they're going to pay less in taxes.
• 38:24
  Speaker 12: My financial fitness team has put together some materials that
• 38:27
  Speaker 12: I know are going to help you. It's the tax
• 38:29
  Speaker 12: savings kit. Tax savings kit includes three things, free tax analysis,
• 38:35
  Speaker 12: top 10 ways to pay less in taxes, and an
• 38:38
  Speaker 12: investor's guide to taxes. Now, how do you get it?

  Speaker 24: You were strolling along in goodwill. When just past that
• 40:05
  Speaker 24: mid-century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them, nestled
• 40:09
  Speaker 24: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 40:13
  Speaker 8: Oh, yes!
• 40:15
  Speaker 19: Yes!
• 40:16
  Speaker 24: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 40:20
  Speaker 24: favorite form of ear candy.
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: Oh, my.
• 40:24
  Speaker 24: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 40:27
  Speaker 21: Shh.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: Do you smell that?
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: Shh.
• 40:32
  Speaker 24: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is Goodwill.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: And with every item.
• 40:39
  Speaker 24: You buy, you fund local job training and more. So
• 40:44
  Speaker 24: go forth. Bring home those donut earrings. And bring home
• 40:49
  Speaker 24: so much.
• 40:49
  Speaker 22: Good to your community.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: Goodwill.
• 40:54
  Speaker 24: Bring good home.
• 40:57
  Speaker 17: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:02
  Speaker 17: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 17: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 17: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 17: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 17: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 17: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 17: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 17: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 17: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.

  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the talk media network.
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: Well, there's an awful lot of issues important to me.
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: Here's my campaign policy. Education.
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: Arbitration.
• 44:45
  Speaker 12: Equalization.
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: United Nations.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: Race relations. So what does it mean to be for
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: something versus against something? So, for example, Democrats right now
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: are for making your life more affordable. Republicans are campaigning
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: on trying to bring the costs down. Neither is their job.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: Neither are true. But one is proactive and one is reactive.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: And it sounds like I'm just talking about either side
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: of the slice of bologna, and I am. But people
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: look at the side that says, I'm for making your
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: life more affordable again and say, that's aspirational. I want
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: my life to be more affordable. It's a little sad
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: that that's best we can come up with. But right now,
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: help me pay my bills versus I'm going to try
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: to bring down the costs of vote for me and
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: I'll bring down the costs of. And though they are,
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: as far as any sort of public policy to be concerned,
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: identical ideas, one comes through the ear in a positive light.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: And I know most of you are going to sit
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: there and say, I don't fall for that crap, Joe.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: I don't fall for that crap. Okay. So we'll see
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: what the voter turnout looks like in a week and
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: which side turned out its voter base and which one didn't.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: And I don't know, I'm hamp. I can hear hamp
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: down on the treasure coast right now saying they ain't
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: done crap for us. They haven't passed. And, and guess what?
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: You know, what's going to happen over the next two years?
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: They're still not going to pass the SAVE Act. They're
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: still not going because when you're dealing with 200 some
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: odd people, a lot of them don't have the guts
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: that you and I have. I'm sorry. They just don't.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: I truly believe that most members of Congress are in
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: those offices because at some point their communities decided we
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: can get by without them. Send them to Washington. They're
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: just going to get in their own way here. And
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: some people send their congressional representatives to get them stuff.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: Some of us send them to do things for us.
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: But they never do the right things. They never choose
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: the right things. Nor should they. And this was baked
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: into the cake. Until the Civil War and the Reconstruction happened.
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: Congress was there to just make sure that if somebody
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: violated your rights, and even then, most of that was
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: on a state level. You didn't have federal crimes the
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: way you do now. So who your congressperson was, was
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: truly relegated to, can we do without him for a
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: couple of years?
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, then send him. Much of what's corrupted this country
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: has come during our western expansion. Because the Easterners who
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: had come from urban areas headed west to get them some.
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: And they'd get out there and they'd say, well, hold on.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: Now let me make sure I can do things with
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: all this land. So they would send people, territorial representatives,
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: to Washington and to plead the government for permission on
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: these territorial lands. And in many cases, once they had theirs,
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: then they would ask their friends in Washington to get
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: them voted into as a state. I mean, you can
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: track so many things. Most of the gun control legislation
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: the left likes came from, you know, the check your
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: irons at the town line sheriffs of the old west.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: much of the cronyism comes from either the railway build
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: out or just land grabs of the old west And
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: what smart lawyers did was they were able to find
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: things that you couldn't deny because you couldn't find a
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: reason within the code to say we can't do these things,
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: so therefore we can. That would be the argument. There's
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: nothing in the code that says you can't do these things,
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: so therefore we can. And little by little, incrementally, especially
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, we really
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: built out this idea that we could just do whatever
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: the heck we wanted to with impunity because we were
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: the government. And, you know, especially out West where towns.
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: I was talking to somebody in Denver. They drive to
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: New Mexico all the time. It's like a four-hour drive.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: Eastern Seaboard, you tell somebody they're going to make a
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: four-hour drive, like, oh, I better stop in the middle.
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: Because you can go from Virginia to Georgia in four hours.
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: You can cross a whole bunch of states. It's not just, yeah,
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: I'm going to the next town. It'll be about a
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: four-hour drive. It's a different mindset there. There's an isolation
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: from being out west that you don't get if you're
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: back east, where even in the most rural areas, you've
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: got lights just up on the hill the other side.
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: You're aware there are other human beings. And what winds
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: up happening is the legislation that grows in the west
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: is not what you think, you know, oh, that rugged individualism. No,
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: it wasn't the legislation that grew out west. It was
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: not rugged individualism. It was we need the government to
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: come do some stuff for us. Mostly built out of
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: the idea of, well, if they don't, we don't have
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: 60 guys when the nation up the road comes riding
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: into our little village. There's four families trying to build
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: a community and 60, 70 warriors come riding in set
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: on their own version of reparations. still thinking the French
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: and Indian War is going on, mostly because the forts
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: that were set up out there were set up by
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: people who remembered the French and Indian War. And so
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: we kept asking Washington to do more things for us
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: on a federal level rather than a local level, because
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: states like Wyoming or Nevada and Arizona There was no
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: big infrastructure, so we needed the federal government to come
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: do something because there was no local government to speak of.
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: Little by little, incrementally, instead of saying, no, here's how
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: this has got to work. We shrugged and said, well,
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: they seem to have us on the law, so there's
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: nothing that says we can't do it, so we will.
• 52:51
  Speaker 18: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 52:54
  Speaker 18: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 52:57
  Speaker 16: It was MediShare that came through for us, and there
• 52:59
  Speaker 16: was no hassle.
• 53:00
  Speaker 8: There was no problem.
• 53:02
  Speaker 18: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
• 53:05
  Speaker 18: of such an incredible ministry.
