"That's NOT what Vance Said" (FTTxJT Fri 100926 hr4) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: The nine most terrifying words in the English language are.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: First thing today.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: By Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: It's not what he meant.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: And it's not even nine words.
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Can you at least play the rest? I'm from the government,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: and I'm here to help. Thank you. Here on location
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: at our weekly City Elders get-together, City Elders governing the
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: gates of the city, the watchmen on the wall, as
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: it were. They're trying to make sure ethical people are
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: in office. And I mention this, it's not made national
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: news because our friends... And the column I just wrote
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: for Daily Signal, DailySignal.com, I write on the Virginia page.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: The title of the article is Whatever Became of Charlottesville? Charlottesville,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: you could count on some things. Here, the home of
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Thomas Jefferson, the birthplace, the hometown of America. You could
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: count on a few things in modern Charlottesville. That we
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: would light ourselves on fire and run around the town
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: square naked. just to get some national news notoriety. And
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: the column I wrote basically is questioning why all of
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: a sudden a national news story is being suppressed from
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: the national news regarding a 37-year-old accused sexual predator who
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: had been assigned to be the transgender coach, or I
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: guess coach is the wrong word, transgender counselor for an
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: elementary school and now faces 20 charges of sexual misconduct
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: and it's all because of the city elders not his
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: behavior but we only know about it because the city
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: elders work very hard in an area that's more liberal
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: than you can imagine to get a conservative elected to
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: the school board and sure enough Within a heartbeat, we
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: start finding out about these problems in the schools. And
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: why is it not national news media? I'm not silly
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: enough to not know. I call them out for their obfuscation, though.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: They're not saying anything about this because it blows up
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: their agenda. As my column points out, it makes the
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: transgender community look pretty bad. Because this is everything we
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: conservatives warned about. We'll talk about it some more. Goodforamerica.org.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Bob Good on with us. You and me as well. 434-882-4217.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: If you don't have a city elders in your community,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: start one. But our first things this morning begin with
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: the hurricane bearing down on all of our friends in
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: the Gulf. Whether it be Beaumont, Texas, all the way
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: around through Pascagoula. and then on up into the Tampa-St.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Pete area, all going to be hit with a lot
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: of rain, high winds, and those up into the valleys
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: also are starting to brace for what may be this
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Hurricane Isaiah heading up the valley and getting into areas
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: of eastern Tennessee that last saw this kind of thing happen.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: around Hurricane Helene there. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: that the... Hello, you're on the air live. Who's this? Okay,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I have to call you back, Greg, because we're live
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: on the radio right now. Thank you, sir. That's it.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I mentioned we were trying to get the electricity run
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: before the hurricane starts taking the power company's crews elsewhere.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: But that notwithstanding, firing squad execution at Fort Hood of
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: the shooter Nidal Malik Hassan will be available to be
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: watched online live. Pete Hegseth announcing yesterday the execution December
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: 3rd will take place online for those who want to watch.

  Speaker 2: They had promised that it would be public President Trump's
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: administration announced Thursday it's suspending Microsoft and several other firms
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: from the H-1B visa program for fraud and abuse of
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: the process. Airlines, including Lufthansa and Air India, have temporarily
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: suspended operations into Saudi Arabia because of attacks of the
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Houthi rebels near the airport. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: have set themselves up for a meeting today with Ukrainian
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: leaders about trying to end the war, the invasion that
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: took place. And remember, that was only supposed to last
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: about two weeks. Well, they're going to meet again today
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: as we approach the fifth anniversary of that invasion. And
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: President Trump today will be celebrating the beginning of Columbus
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Day weekend. He wants Italian-Americans to remember that his administration
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: supports them And those are some of our first things
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: this Friday morning here on the Talk Media Network, 434-882-4217.

  Speaker 2: Here live from City Elders.

• 6:13
  Speaker 5: and former Virginia Tech football coach. When I brought the
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: famed lunch pail to our team, it symbolized teamwork. The
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: word win stood for what's important now. The Lunch Pail
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: Defense Foundation realizes the importance of helping others. Our foundation
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: is a nonprofit corporation that helps fund academic scholarship for
• 6:30

  Speaker 5: Foundation has raised nearly $ 400, 000 and awarded over 40 individual scholarships.

• 6:44
  Speaker 5: Duke University Medical Center. For information regarding corporate sponsorship or
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: becoming an individual supporter, log on to our site at lunchpaledefense.com.
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: It's always been important to win, especially when we're helping others.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Let's see, if something costs less, a lot less, but
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: people are actually happier with it, that sounds like something
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: to look into. And that's MediShare. Maybe you've heard joining
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: MediShare can save you or your family up to 500
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: bucks a month, and that's huge, but it's also true.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: People are just happier with it. They love being part
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: of something that reflects and promotes their values and what
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: they believe in. MediShare works, too. It's been around for
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: 30 years now, and members have shared more than $ 7
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: billion of each other's bills. People love having telehealth and
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: a huge nationwide PPO network, so MediShare Yeah, really, you
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: can save a ton and like it better. Imagine being
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: happy with how you're taking care of your health care,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: whether you're self-employed or part of the gig economy, or
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: you just want a plan that you're happy with.

  Speaker 2: It's 855-SHARE-40. 855-S-H-A-R-E-40. 855-SHARE-40.
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: I'm Dr.
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: 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 properties,
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: 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 8: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 8: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 8: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 8: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 8: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 8: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:37
  Speaker 8: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 8: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 8: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: Hi, everybody. I'm Jack Hanna.
• 10:00
  Speaker 9: Since I was a boy growing up on a farm
• 10:01
  Speaker 9: in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only
• 10:05
  Speaker 9: in awe of their beauty and kindness, but also their
• 10:07
  Speaker 9: tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds who gather
• 10:10
  Speaker 9: supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes who work hard
• 10:13
  Speaker 9: to provide for their young. Or penguins, who travel up
• 10:16
  Speaker 9: to 500 miles to secure food for their families. Or
• 10:18
  Speaker 9: bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them to navigate the
• 10:21
  Speaker 9: trees and the wild in search of fruit. This remarkable
• 10:24
  Speaker 9: work ethic is shared by our best friends, the canines.
• 10:28
  Speaker 9: We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home, but
• 10:30
  Speaker 9: because of their acute senses, they also perform lifesaving work
• 10:34
  Speaker 9: every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort
• 10:36
  Speaker 9: returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They work
• 10:39
  Speaker 9: with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in their
• 10:42
  Speaker 9: blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly trained
• 10:45
  Speaker 9: roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
• 10:47
  Speaker 9: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 10:50
  Speaker 9: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 10:53
  Speaker 9: planet we inhabit together. Go to americanhumane.org to learn more.
• 10:59
  Speaker 10: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 11: Oh, yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 12: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 13: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 9: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 14: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 14: somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 10: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 15: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 16: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:23
  Speaker 16: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:28
  Speaker 17: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 17: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 17: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:39
  Speaker 17: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 17: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 17: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 11:51
  Speaker 17: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 11:54
  Speaker 17: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:58
  Speaker 17: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:00
  Speaker 17: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 12:04
  Speaker 17: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:07
  Speaker 17: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 12:11
  Speaker 17: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 12:14
  Speaker 17: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 17: A tip from the Federal Trade Commission. the nation's consumer
• 12:27
  Speaker 17: protection agency.
• 12:29
  Speaker 18: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 18: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 18: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:40
  Speaker 18: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 12:43
  Speaker 18: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories

• 13:12
  Speaker 3: Talk radio just the way your mother used to make it.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I moaned away and stood straight ahead for the weatherman said.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: There's a star.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Bearing down, first one on the East Coast.
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: I want to run and the pressure is high.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: And I want to warn you folks, as you bask
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: in the glow of whatever media you consume after this
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: program is done, you're going to get inundated. This is
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: going to be the worst storm ever. This is this
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: is even though it's only a category two storm. It
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: is going to be worse than Helene, worse than Camille,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: you name it. Because it's the first one, and there's
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: a lot of pent-up angst, Jim Cantore hasn't been sent
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: out to anyone's community yet this year, and Dems is
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: billable hours. So a lot of people in the media
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: count on Storm Season to make their money, and so
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: you're getting a lot of chicken little-ism going on. Now,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying a Category 2 hurricane is no joke.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of wind, a lot of water. They're
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: expecting it to go up the valley to eastern Tennessee.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: So our friends in Irwin and all those places that
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: got devastated by Helene are understandably a little twitchy this
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: morning as they hear those reports. But hang in there.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Be prepared. Be prepared now. and also be prepared for
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: the onslaught of Democrats talking about price gouging at the
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: end of it. But Joel is on the phone, Bob
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Good hanging around with us, Good for America podcast. We're
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: here at our City Elders meeting. They're getting stuff going on,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: a little video going on in the background talking about
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: what they do here. If you don't have a City
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Elders in your community, start one. Kevin, our friend here
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: that runs the one that we're at, said you can
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: email him and he'll explain how simple it is to
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: get one of these things up and running and how
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: there are formats but there's also flexibility. Different ones meet
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: different ways. We meet every week. Some places meet once
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: a month. Some people meet online. You name it, runs
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: the gamut. His email is kevin at cityeldersva.org but cityelders.org
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: is where you go and try to find if you're
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: one of the nine states that has the city elders
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: in it already. And like I said, if you don't
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: have one, start one because it has profound impact. And
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: we've got a great example of that going on right
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: now here in central Virginia because of a guy, the
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: city elders got onto a school board and exposed all
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: sorts of covering up in the trans agenda. But Joel,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: thank you for hanging on the line with us this
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: morning at 434-882-4217. What's going on, my friend?
• 16:27
  Speaker 15: Good morning, Joe. That sounds like there's a lot of
• 16:30
  Speaker 15: activity behind you there.
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: No, it's a fired-up room. It's a great event space.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: It's got a stage. It's got all sorts of things
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: if you wanted to have a band. But I'm looking
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: around here, and if this was a nightclub gig, I'd
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: say we did pretty well. But, yeah, we don't get
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: a two-drink minimum. Well, maybe coffee counts, but what's on
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: your mind?
• 16:53
  Speaker 15: Well, this isn't my topic, but I just wanted to
• 16:55
  Speaker 15: say this really quick that, It's the bend. It's what's
• 16:58
  Speaker 15: called the bend of Florida. And the problem is you've
• 17:04
  Speaker 15: got the lowest point to the highest point in Florida
• 17:08
  Speaker 15: because actually the highest point is 30 feet, and it's
• 17:12
  Speaker 15: around outside of Tallahassee. But a lot of those buildings
• 17:16
  Speaker 15: are old buildings, and they haven't been restructured for weather.
• 17:21
  Speaker 15: But here's what I'd like to say. You were talking,
• 17:25
  Speaker 15: you know, you had President Reagan on there and the
• 17:28
  Speaker 15: nine words. He didn't really say nine words.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: They're having some fun with me with that. But yeah,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: I get you.
• 17:34
  Speaker 15: This always kills me when somebody goes, let me be
• 17:37
  Speaker 15: honest with you. So what were you saying before you
• 17:43
  Speaker 15: made that statement? Are you not living? Are you not?
• 17:48
  Speaker 15: Especially if you're a politician or you're a leader, even
• 17:52
  Speaker 15: just a general person, but God wants us to be
• 17:56
  Speaker 15: as honest as we can be. And I get it.
• 18:00
  Speaker 15: Sometimes you don't want to say the things that are
• 18:02
  Speaker 15: going to hurt somebody's feelings. But we're at a point
• 18:05
  Speaker 15: in this country where the Constitution could go away, the
• 18:10
  Speaker 15: Supreme Court could go away, religious freedom could go away,
• 18:15
  Speaker 15: and our gun rights. Because we have crazy people everywhere.
• 18:20
  Speaker 15: that are trying to, trying to come in. And it's
• 18:23
  Speaker 15: not just supported by what we think is George Soros.
• 18:26
  Speaker 15: It's supported by actual governments that are, that are, that are,
• 18:31
  Speaker 15: that are paying for these crazy groups. And they look
• 18:34
  Speaker 15: at Belgium and look at France. They're on fire right now.
• 18:38
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: India, uh, you know, some, some serious, you know, incursions, invasions. Um,
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: and this is what happens. And there's a sidebar to
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: this where you, um, where you take the military operation
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: and put it in the hands of civilians, and it's
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: almost the exact polar opposite of the way we fought
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: the British off. So what you've done is weaponized civilians
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: and used our open society, as it were, to borrow
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: from George Soros' title, and maybe that's why he called
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: his foundation the Open Society Foundation, is because if you're open,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: you're open to anything, and you may fall prey to anything.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: But there have to be rules, there have to be
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: established policy, because you can't protect somebody's liberty. And you
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: mentioned earlier, sometimes you don't say something because you don't
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: want to hurt somebody's feelings. What is more hurtful than
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: not with love and compassion, telling somebody if they're doing
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: something that you think is wrong. You know, I don't
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: see a problem in that. I know we get cards
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: and letters all the time saying, oh, Jerry, you shouldn't
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: have said that on the air because that'll hurt people's feelings.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: And you want people to tune in. I want people
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: to tune in because we tell people the truth. And
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: we don't do it out of mean-spiritedness. We're not trying
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: to make you look bad. We're just trying to make
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: you look better and point out when the emperor doesn't
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: have any clothes on and that he really should have
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: clothes on.
• 20:13
  Speaker 15: All these people that produce these political commercials, you would
• 20:18
  Speaker 15: like to put them in front of the pulpit and say, okay,
• 20:23
  Speaker 15: if all these things that you're saying are true, are there,
• 20:26
  Speaker 15: we have things that are factual and show those tapes,
• 20:31
  Speaker 15: get those people in and say, hey, you know, how
• 20:34
  Speaker 15: are you now? And it'd be like the cartoon where
• 20:37
  Speaker 15: that person shrinks to that little mouse in the chair.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Well, there's a funny line in the TV show, The
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: West Wing, where the guy is trying to write a
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: speech for a convention where they don't have a nominee yet.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: And he said, so I just wrote a one size
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: fits all insert someone's name here, and if they nominate
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: somebody that isn't a bold fighter for America's future, I'll
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: buy everyone a whiskey sour. But that's what these ads are.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: It's like, I'm going to fight for your freedoms, and
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: I'm going to fight for your rights, and I'm going
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: to make you prosperous again. We've got to come in
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: here in central Virginia. The governor's coming to hold a
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: whole two-day-long summit of economic development, and I guarantee it's
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: going to be all about grant programs and taxpayer money
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: that'll go to your business to help you, quote, build it,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: as Barack Obama said.
• 21:33
  Speaker 15: Well, I just heard that Spanberger opened up $ 67 million
• 21:37
  Speaker 15: that was in.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: A reserve or something.
• 21:40
  Speaker 15: That just proves the Democrats can't keep a reserve. They
• 21:44
  Speaker 15: always have to spend it and then ask for more.
• 21:46
  Speaker 11: Oh, of course.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: That's wash, rinse, repeat. That's the centerpiece. That's the post
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: underneath the planks of their party platform is there's always
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: someone else's money.
• 21:58
  Speaker 19: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National League Trainer for Planet Fitness,

• 24:07
  Speaker 6: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: I'm Dr.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: 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
• 24:24
  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

• 26:30

  Speaker 3: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: He is the host of the Good for America podcast.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: He is Bob Good and Bob Good, former chair of
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: the House Freedom Caucus and congressman. Goodforamerica.org is where you
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: find him. Bob, we were talking about the podcast. What
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: has been discovered, and thanks to our friends at City
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Elders being able to expose the cover-up that's going on
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: in our schools over what's happening, all very predictably with
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: the trans agenda. Am I over the top on pointing
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: out that this was also... horribly predictable?
• 28:58
  Speaker 25: You know, Joe, you're exactly right. And this heightens back
• 29:01
  Speaker 25: to the days when the Democrats had full control of
• 29:03
  Speaker 25: government in Washington, and they viewed everything through an LGBT agenda.
• 29:08
  Speaker 25: And Merrick Garland prosecuted, persecuted, targeted parents showing up at
• 29:12
  Speaker 25: school board meetings to defend and to fight on what
• 29:15
  Speaker 25: was being done to their kids at school. We're doing
• 29:17
  Speaker 25: a terrible job of teaching them the proverbial reading, writing,
• 29:20
  Speaker 25: and arithmetic, but we want to indoctrinate them with a
• 29:23
  Speaker 25: radical leftist view of And the amendments in Virginia that
• 29:28
  Speaker 25: are on the ballot, essentially what they want to do
• 29:31
  Speaker 25: is elevate to a constitutional right that which God calls sin.
• 29:33
  Speaker 25: That's what God calls wrong. The Bible says, what are
• 29:36
  Speaker 25: those who call good evil and evil good? And they
• 29:38
  Speaker 25: want to essentially put you in jail for opposing abortion
• 29:42
  Speaker 25: or opposing the LGBT agenda, specifically homosexual marriage.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: And this is the thing is it's not even a
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: majority of the population. And I've talked to gay men
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: who are like, I hate this because it sets us
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: up to look like we're just looking for small children.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: It's a generation of trying to fight that stereotype is
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: being burned down by the establishment. So a lot of
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: the gay community doesn't like this agenda any more than
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: you and me, and we just find it abhorrent in
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: and of itself. And at the bottom line, teach the
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: kids to read and write and do arithmetic because you're
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: failing pretty miserably at that.
• 30:28
  Speaker 25: Well, once you decide there is no standard for morality
• 30:32
  Speaker 25: and it's just whatever a person feels or desires.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: Good morning, 46 degrees in Harrisonburg. I'm sorry. Whatever what?
• 30:40
  Speaker 25: Whenever you decide there is no standard of morality, it's
• 30:42
  Speaker 25: just whatever a person feels, wants, or desires and is
• 30:45
  Speaker 25: just as legitimate as any other, I'll say, standard or
• 30:48
  Speaker 25: lack thereof, then you've got this slippery slope. God defined it,
• 30:53
  Speaker 25: morality between a man and a woman. It's God's design,
• 30:57
  Speaker 25: one man, one woman for life. We fall short. We
• 31:00
  Speaker 25: miss the mark. All of our families have been affected
• 31:03
  Speaker 25: by falling short and missing the mark. We're sinful people.
• 31:06
  Speaker 25: But what we establish as the standard matters in our culture,
• 31:10
  Speaker 25: in our society.
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Because how do you know you've fallen short of the
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: mark if you don't put the marks right?
• 31:15
  Speaker 25: That's exactly right.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: What's the and again, I apologize, bad prep work. I
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: had your your pack, your your campaign that you're out
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: going across Virginia to try to educate people, not just
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: on the deception, because this is part of the cover
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: up here in central Virginia over this LGBTQ issue. sexual predator,
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: the cover-up is also on the ballot where they're throwing
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: deceptive language. What's the PAC that you're leading, the group
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: that you're leading?
• 31:47
  Speaker 25: VirginiaConservativeAction.org. VirginiaConservativeAction.org is where folks can get more information and
• 31:53
  Speaker 25: support what we're doing and help us with more billboards,
• 31:55
  Speaker 25: more signs, more flyers, more social media ads, trying to
• 31:59
  Speaker 25: get the word out on how harmful these amendments are
• 32:01
  Speaker 25: on the Virginia ballot.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: And it's such an uphill battle because I'm telling you,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: I look at these numbers and I would like to
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: say 10 to 1, but that's underestimating how much more
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: money these agendas have, which should also tell you a
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: lot about who's behind them, doesn't it, Bob?
• 32:17
  Speaker 25: It does indeed. And it tells you a lot about
• 32:19
  Speaker 25: the surrender on what used to be the right side
• 32:22
  Speaker 25: on the moral issues.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: That's true. And that's the sad part is that I
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: and I don't know what you think drives it. I
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: know what I think drives it, which is This idea
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: of not wanting to be seen as mean or closed
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: minded or anything like that when it's anything but. And
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: we've seeded that battlefield, haven't we, Bob?
• 32:42
  Speaker 25: We have when you have one party that's opposed to
• 32:45
  Speaker 25: everything upon which we were founded as a country, the
• 32:46
  Speaker 25: Democrat Party. So we just set them aside for a moment.
• 32:49
  Speaker 25: But then you've got the Republican Party, whose focus is
• 32:52
  Speaker 25: simply on having power and winning elections now. irrespective of
• 32:57
  Speaker 25: what the issues might be or what the principles or
• 33:00
  Speaker 25: values might be that we hold to. And I'll just
• 33:04
  Speaker 25: give you one, this is changing gears a little bit,
• 33:06
  Speaker 25: but yesterday, yesterday, the vice president, J.D. Vance, when asked
• 33:10
  Speaker 25: to define socialism, said it's really hard to define now.
• 33:13
  Speaker 25: It's kind of boys playing girls' sports, and it's kind
• 33:16
  Speaker 25: of foreign workers replacing American workers. Web search J.D. Vance
• 33:21
  Speaker 25: and socialism. It's not hard to define socialism. It's redistribution
• 33:24
  Speaker 25: of wealth. It's government taking care of people. It's government
• 33:27
  Speaker 25: giving out money. It's government as the nanny state. It's
• 33:30
  Speaker 25: government controlling the means of production, things that Republicans used
• 33:34
  Speaker 25: to oppose.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: I did not see that. We were talking about something
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: else he said, and I missed that part of his
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: statement probably intentionally. cover that one up. Bob, what's coming
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: up on the Good for America podcast this week?
• 33:47
  Speaker 14: Well, we're going to hit that right there.
• 33:49
  Speaker 25: We're going to help define socialism and show where Republicans
• 33:52
  Speaker 25: have gotten off course in the past two years.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Well, thank you for bringing that up to me. Apologies,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: bad form on the host. I did not see that quote.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: But yeah, that's crazy. If somebody like me, New York
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: City public schools educated can identify socialism. Well, I guess
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: Marco Rubio has climbed in the polls when it comes
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: to 2028, hasn't he, Bob?
• 34:13
  Speaker 25: Well, I hope he knows what socialism is, and I'd
• 34:15
  Speaker 25: like to think that he does.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: I'm growing up in Cuba.
• 34:18
  Speaker 25: With a Cuban-American background.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: His mother will explain it to him if he doesn't. Bob,
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: God bless you, sir. It's goodforamerica.org, and have a wonderful weekend.
• 34:27
  Speaker 17: You as well, my friend.
• 34:28
  Speaker 25: 434-882-4217.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: But here's the thing, and I don't think for a
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: second J.D. Vance is unintelligent, but we... What's the best
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: way I can put this without making it sound like
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: I'm saying somebody's dumb? We tend to listen to too
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: many people. And I'm not saying getting advice or going
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: out and finding consult is bad. But you've got to
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: know what you've got to know. You found the clip?
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: C-SPAN's got it? All right. I trust C-SPAN to not be,
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: you know, spinning. I find socialism personally.
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: And why do you think socialist candidates are popping up
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: everywhere across the country?
• 35:21
  Speaker 11: Oh, man.
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: You know, I guess.
• 35:25
  Speaker 13: It's honestly it's a hard term to define these days
• 35:28
  Speaker 13: because very often socialism, you know, classically you would think
• 35:35
  Speaker 13: socialism is about prioritizing workers.
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: And yet, in reality, I guarantee that most of.
• 35:40
  Speaker 13: The self-described socialists running across the United States of America
• 35:44
  Speaker 13: are going to howl about this announcement today, which is
• 35:47
  Speaker 13: prioritizing American workers over foreign workers.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: So I don't know what the term means anymore.
• 35:52
  Speaker 13: I think in reality what it actually means in the
• 35:54
  Speaker 13: American context is that you want to replace American workers
• 35:57
  Speaker 13: with foreign workers and you want boys to play in
• 36:00
  Speaker 13: girls sports. That's what unites the socialists that I see
• 36:03
  Speaker 13: running across the United States of America today.
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: You know, it's funny.
• 36:06
  Speaker 13: Back in 2016, one of the most interesting things that
• 36:09
  Speaker 13: happened is when Bernie Sanders, then, of course, the leading
• 36:13
  Speaker 13: socialist in the United States of America.
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: Was asked about open borders.
• 36:17
  Speaker 13: He gave an answer that sounded similar to Stephen Miller's,
• 36:20
  Speaker 13: where he said, of course, we're not going to have
• 36:22
  Speaker 13: open borders because that's going to displace American workers.
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: It is ironic.
• 36:26
  Speaker 13: That so many of the self-described socialists running across this country,
• 36:29
  Speaker 13: they love the idea of replacing American workers with foreign workers,
• 36:33
  Speaker 13: which suggests to me it's really not about the working class.
• 36:36
  Speaker 13: It's about their hatred of native-born citizens.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: All right, so kind of different to the way it
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: was portended, and like President Trump. And Bernie Sanders to
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: the opposite side of the spectrum. I want to hear
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: everything you said. As a matter of fact, Kevin Harris,
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: our host here at our City Elders meeting, just started
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: his talk about 10 minutes ago by pointing out, biblically,
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: you've got to know the whole story of, you know,
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: there are quotes and there's, you know, these daily devotionals
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: that will give you two or three lines out of,
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: you know, chapter and verse. When he said to really
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: get the fullness of a biblical passage, you've got to
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: know where it comes from, what was happening in Romans,
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: why was Romans, what was happening in Thessalonians. And knowing
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: that actually expands what the message is, not dilutes it.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: And so from what I heard there, he's talking about
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: what defines the democratic socialists of America. Would I have
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: said that?
• 37:42
  Speaker 16: Sure.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: But then again, I'm not the guy who's vice president
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: standing behind a lectern trying to avoid the gotcha moments.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: So in the fullness of his statement, although I don't
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: think it's hard to define socialism, I think it's hard
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: to define what the left thinks.
• 38:02
  Speaker 6: In a study, it was found that 33% of 44
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: herbal supplements used had no trace of the advertised herb.
• 38:10

  Speaker 12: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 40:05
  Speaker 12: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
• 40:09
  Speaker 12: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: Oh, yes!
• 40:15
  Speaker 10: Yes!
• 40:16

  Speaker 12: have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.

  Speaker 2: Shhh. Do you smell that?

  Speaker 12: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is goodwill.

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

  Speaker 3: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: Prepping as you should be, even up here in central Virginia.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: A hurricane bearing down. John and Scott, both with text messages.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: That's what we do here. Especially when we see you
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: heading for the rocks there. Think of me as the
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: Little Red Lighthouse. Did you ever read that book as
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: a kid? Did you ever read Little Red Lighthouse? I
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: forget who wrote it. I'm amazed at how many people
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: read The Little Red Lighthouse. I thought it was a
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: New York thing only. That applause is for the speaker,
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: not for me. Not for The Little Red Lighthouse. It's
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: about a lighthouse. And it's anthropomorphized. And it's a lighthouse,
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: you know, very important because it's guiding ships into this
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: important harbor to avoid the rocks along and the peril
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: along the river.
• 45:30
  Speaker 11: And....
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: And then one day, men start coming by, and they
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: start putting big steel girders into the ground and concrete,
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: and they're pouring, and they're doing all this digging and building,
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, you know, these structures start
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: to appear, and the little red lighthouse doesn't know what's
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: going on. And the next thing you know, this giant
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: bridge towers over this lighthouse, and the lighthouse feels insignificant
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: because this giant bridge is there now, and now he
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: feels like I'm not the... What was it he... He
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: used to, he called himself the master of the river
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: because he was the lighthouse that helped guide all the
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: ships into harbor. And now he's like, well, now I'm
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: not the master of the river. There's this massive bridge.
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: And a storm came and fog rolled in and nobody
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: could see anything. And all of a sudden the bridge
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: called down, also anthropomorphized, the bridge called down to the lighthouse.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: What is the matter, little friend? You haven't You haven't
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: turned on your light. And apparently the lighthouse supervisor had
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: not shown up to turn on the beacon. And so
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: the lighthouse was depressed, thinking, well, here's this storm. This
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: is what I'm supposed to do. And nobody's here to
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: turn me on. I've obviously been replaced. And we've all
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: felt that way in some way, shape or form. Oh,
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: Hildegard Swift in 1942 said, Eddie, our research director, our
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: volunteer research director at First Thing Today says, Hildegard Swift
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: in 1942 wrote Little Red Lighthouse. And the lighthouse, now
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: that the lighthouse keeper hadn't come to turn the light on,
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: and there's a storm and there's fog and the.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: Bridge is calling out to him, where is your light?
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: Where is your light? And the lighthouse said, you think
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: I'm important and you're so big? And he said, you
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: guide the ships. I'm up here in the air. I
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: can't do anything for the ships. And finally, the lighthouse
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: keeper arrives and the lighthouse turns on and all things
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: are saved. But it was an important lesson to a kid,
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: I think, about how you might not feel important Maybe
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: there's somebody who's a better athlete or a better comedian,
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: class clown or whatever, but everyone has something. Everyone has
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: an importance. And, of course, I always just thought it
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: was a New York story because it's about an actual
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: lighthouse that still sits there today. If you take, I
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: think it's Nine West, U.S. Nine West through the Bronx
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: of New York City. And the Little Red Lighthouse still
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: exists at the foot of the George Washington Bridge. And
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: it was, of course, I've seen it. If you're ever
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: in New York, try to go and see the Little
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: Red Lighthouse. It's an important story, I think, for kids.
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: But anyway, back to the text messages. John writes in,
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: you were saying exactly what I was thinking about hurricane
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: media coverage. In addition, I would say it seems that
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: they almost hope that things are worse than they turn out.
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: They don't seem to realize, or maybe that they do,
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: that people's lives are part of that hope. It's a
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: devilish way of thinking. Of course, he's referring to the
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: coverage of, who is it, Isaiah, Amadeus, Isaiah, I think
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: is how it's pronounced, bearing down on the Gulf. It's
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: category two, but it's also tracking a lot of water.
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: And it reminds me of Helene in the fact that
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: when our buddy Matt was reporting from the middle of
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: Helene in Fort Myers, Florida, he said there's just a
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: ton of rain in this storm. It's just been soaking
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: up all this Gulf water and it's just going to
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: just devastate New Orleans and all these places are getting
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: hit with it. And that's exactly what Helene wound up doing.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: It wasn't even so much the wind. It was all
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: the rain and that she was carrying there. And Scott
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: in Virginia Beach said, always keep an eye on hurricanes.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: He lives in Virginia Beach. Scott, he says, look at
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: what Helene did so far inland. Hurricane Camille on a
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: similar track to Isaiah's hit Virginia really hard. Just be prepared.
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: And Scott, knowing me so well, ended his text, don't panic.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: It's Douglas Adams' message to the world. Don't panic. And
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: have your towel. You might want to have more than
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: just one towel with Hurricane Isaiah coming in. But this... Eddie,
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: when I read the author of the book, apparently it
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: was a round of applause here. And he's like, I
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: got a round of applause from the city elders. It's understanding...
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: there are important things. And John's text about the media coverage,
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: I was trying to point out that the media, again,
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: not for me, at least for Marshall, introducing the speaker
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: today at the City Elders meeting, but the media wants crisis.
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: They don't, and it's sad because our job should be
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: to warn you when a hurricane is coming, not Brace
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: ourselves to be able to go live from the flooding
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: and the devastation. We should be there, out there, trying
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: to make sure there's enough people, Marshall, to keep the
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: flooding and the devastation at a minimum. And I guess
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: that's one of the seminal differences between me and them.
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: We did an accounting, and there's a new map we've
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: got to put up of all the folks in EBM,
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: in Irwin, Tennessee, East Tennessee, our friends. Cleveland, Tennessee, Chattanooga,
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: all that valley. I mean, you've got to be ready.
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: Don't take this for granted because it's as serious as
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: any hurricane that comes out of the Gulf tracking tons
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: of water can be. It is to not be trifled
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: with as you sit there and try to find a
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: place to Celebrate Columbus Day weekend there. Who's this Columbus guy?
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: Christopher Columbus was a weatherman years ago, kids, and he
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: used to report on things like hurricanes. No, I'm sorry.
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: That's not.
• 52:17
  Speaker 6: It.
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, I do, and I'm going to be heading home
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: to her for this weekend. And my wife, my life
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: has been easy, and I want to make note of something,
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: that she gave me a second son on this day
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: in 1997. And he's an amazing kid, and he's still
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: a kid, but to me, it wasn't yesterday. But I
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: want to say happy birthday to Kyle and to you
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: until tomorrow. So long, and thanks for all the fish.
• 52:51
  Speaker 7: My name is Bobby. I'm a veteran and lost my
• 52:54
  Speaker 7: leg to a roadside bomb.
• 52:55
  Speaker 14: My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a
